Forty-fifth strike The time of the gods

Mt. Fuji has a standard conical shape, and when viewed from the ground, there are no steep mountains or treacherous ravines.

Therefore, some people often think that as long as they climb up the not too steep hill, they can reach the summit smoothly, and they think that they can do it too.

However, the dangers of Mt. Fuji are not as simple as those who can only reverie think, and the snow at the top of Mt. Fuji covers it all year round, and the temperature is below freezing, making it an endurance challenge for all climbers.

However, in this era, there is no effective way for humans to resist the cold!

In other words, the freezing cold will hit this team, will this tired team really survive this crisis?

"When the body is tired and has no stamina, it is human willpower that fights. Iwakasa smiled confidently, turning the branches in the fire, and said to the crowd, "In the dangerous nature, what sustains human beings to continue walking is often not physical strength, but the belief in the heart, which can make you go farther than you think." ”

"Come on, after this dinner, we will reach the top tomorrow, and we must recharge our energy today. Iwakasa slapped a passing insect to death, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed, "Even this little guy is a hard-won delicacy." ”

"Iwagasa-san, what you say makes a lot of sense... But your behavior is still a bit unacceptable to us. The corners of one of the samurai's lips twitched, and he said what everyone was thinking, "So please don't eat bugs in front of us." ”

"yes, yes, I'm going to vomit for dinner..."A samurai once had the pleasure of seeing Iwakasa put a 'fat' looking worm into his mouth and burst out a sauce like 〇〇, and finally vomited the food he had eaten on the spot.

"I think too, please don't continue..."Mei Hong wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and suggested.

“… Ah, you don't understand. Iwakasa frowned reluctantly, "These bugs can provide the human body with six times more protein than beef, and this energy can make people live better." ”

"Uh, excuse me, what's protein?"

That's a good question. Iwagasa showed a smile that you really know, and explained, "Then I'll just say a little bit, protein is the nutrient of the human body and soul, and the human body has no way to live without protein." ”

"I really didn't expect that Zaixia's body was actually made of this kind of thing..."A samurai took out his ribs and tried to insert a knife into his abdomen like this, "Zai Xia has no face to continue to live." ”

"Hahaha, then you can take off the scabbard. ”

"Well, forget it," the samurai scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "I haven't married a wife yet." ”

"That's all you have!" everyone looked at the guy who was playing the treasure and shook their heads helplessly.

"Everyone, be quiet. After everyone finished laughing, Iwagasa pressed his hand at everyone and said, "Tomorrow is the time to reach the top, go to bed early tonight, recuperate your spirits, and complete the task in one breath tomorrow!"

"Oh oh~!"

The team with Iwagasa often has a very high morale, and even if they are physically and mentally tired, everyone has enough motivation because everyone trusts Iwagasa as a man.

……

The final climb to the top was the hardest moment, just when everyone was ready to go.

No one imagined what they would become.

Or should I say, no one thought that this time the original perfect mission would turn out to be the last journey of life.

It's hard to explain, and it's going back to distant legends.

In the past, Mt. Fuji was inhabited by two powerful gods: Yahime Kihana and Ishichohime. As a powerful deity, she is always idle, so the bored Kihana Saki Yahime compares the heights of Mt. Fuji with Yatsugatake.

As a result, I was surprised to find that the mountain of Yatsugatake was much higher than the mountain Fuji where I lived!

Out of anger, Kihana Saki Yahime used her divine power to cut off part of Yatsugatake, making her short and ugly.

Hanaki Saki's sister Shi Changji found out about this and was angry at having such a sister.

So despite the retention of his sister Hanagi Saki, he left Mount Fuji and moved to the short and ugly August.

And Hanaki Saki Yahime still lives on this Mt. Fuji after that...... Iwagasa and the others, who are about to reach the top, will inevitably pass by the residence of Yahime Hanagi, a temperamental god who will bring them a fatal test......

……

"We're almost there, let's get some fuel. Iwagasa said to the samurai behind him.

The cold wind blew like a knife on his face, and his body stiffened, but Iwakasa and the samurai did not stop their steps.

The summit of Mt. Fuji is already in full view, and Iwagasa is smiling.

However, just such a small distance is like a gutter for mortals, and it cannot be crossed.

It was like a spring breeze, sweeping everyone.

"What, it feels like it's suddenly warmer?" Mei Hong looked around and found that the others were also reacting to her.

"Is this a miracle?" the samurai sighed.

But there was only one person who showed a nervous expression, and that was Iwakasa, who frowned, and his years of travel experience told him that this matter was not simple, and he stopped his steps.

"Look, there's a woman there!" a samurai pointed in surprise to a sunny land, the top of Mt. Fuji was covered with snow all year round, but where the woman was, the snow around her had retreated as if she was afraid of something.

And the woman actually started walking in the direction of Iwagasa and them.

Cold sweat ...... a cold sweat on his forehead, and Mt. Fuji has been home to a variety of legends since the past, and countless gods have lived here.

But there is only one god with this magical ability, and that is...... Yahime Kihana Saki is a powerful deity who rules over Mt. Fuji.

"What are you!Stop!" one of the samurai shouted as he felt the pressure from the woman, pulling out his katana at his waist.

"Pay attention to your tone. The woman approached, and the crowd finally noticed her face.

Her body was surrounded by pink unknown flowers, with a slight smile on her face, but her expression was like winter ice, and when she saw it, she seemed to think that you were like a dead person, and the next second she would be killed in two by this woman.

"You're talking to the gods right now. "If you look closely, the woman seems to be walking on the ground, but her feet are always floating in the air, and it is only because her vision is not good just now that she has not been noticed

“!?”

At this time, Iwakasa was the first to react, and immediately knelt on the ground, and said, "The mortal messenger Moon Iwagasa sees the Wood Flower of Sakuya Kun Shell!"

“…… I really didn't expect that there is still a person in the world who can recognize me?" Kihana Saki Yehime waved her hand, pink flowers grew on Iwakasa's body, and her eyes were sharp, "Mortal, tell me what you mean." ”

"......" Iwagasa took out a small medicine pot from the burden on his body and held it in his hand, "I am entrusted by my friend Sanuki to destroy it forever in the volcano of your residence, and I also ask the gods to agree to my request!"

“…… Is this what it is? Kihana Saki Yahime frowned, she already knew about the pills in the pot, and her lips opened slightly.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse your request. ”

"Why?!" Iwagasa looked up in surprise, "If this thing is spread in the world, it will definitely cause disaster, so please think about it more." ”

"Eternal life is indeed a curse, and it is indeed a disaster to be put into the world. Kihana Saki Yahime said expressionlessly, "But what does this have to do with me, it is natural to think of throwing such filth into my territory, you should go to my sister Shi Changji." ”

"Eternal life?"

"Cursed?"

The samurai exclaimed, staring at the potting pot in Iwakasa's hand.

"Iwakasa, what the hell are you hiding?"
