The sun wheel overhead gradually fell to the west, and large clouds drifted in the sky.

The cool breeze swept across Tsuiko's face, slowly degrading the heat on her body and the sadness in her heart.

Beads of sweat inadvertently slid from her cheeks to the corners of her mouth, and the bitter taste was like tears......

The wooden shovel in his hand turned over and over the soil, and what appeared in front of Cuizi's eyes at this moment was a dirt pit.

And a corpse wrapped in a straw mat is also being placed next to the dirt pit, presumably Tsuiko will bury her soon.

At this time, Dao Daozhai rode mica and passed by Tsuiko with two helpers, the front ghost and the back ghost.

Seeing Cuizi's unsparing pit digging move, Dao Daozhai tilted his head, very puzzled.

"Hey! Little girl, do you want to bury your master? ”

patted the back of the sitting mica, and motioned for the mica to stop.

Then he turned over and jumped off the ground, greeted Tsuiko and walked over.

Seeing that Dao Daozhai was coming, Cuizi stopped what she was doing and wiped the sweat on her face with her sleeve.

"Yes, Lord Dao Daozhai, I don't want the master to expose her corpse to the wilderness......"

As she spoke, Tsuiko also glanced sideways at the large number of corpses that had been dragged out of the valley by the front and back ghosts in a cart.

"Master, she is not from Inujin Village, but she longed for Inujin Village when she was alive."

"So please allow me to leave my master's remains here, please!"

Scratching his bald head, Dao Daozhai couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he looked at Cuizi's sincere bow to the request.

He glanced at the pit that Cuizi had dug and said, "Your filial piety is very good, but if you bury your master like this." ”

"If the lord's return takes a little longer, and her body decays, then it may be a lot more troublesome to resurrect."

At this time, at first glance, I heard the unbelievable words of Dao Dao Zhai.

Tsuiko was stunned, she thought Dao Daozhai was joking with her.

Raising the dead? How could such a thing be done! Unless the gods are coming!

With a sad expression on her face, Tsuiko bent down again and bowed, "Lord Daodaozhai, don't come to comfort me with such deceptive words......"

"Liar? Who said I lied to you!? ”

Dao Daozhai cocked his thumb and rushed backwards at the corpses that had been dragged by the front and back ghosts.

"Collect and protect everyone's corpses, this is a special order from the lord."

"Of course, I don't know what the means of resurrecting everyone are, but there is always hope now, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Tsuiko was stunned!

She looked at Dao Dao Zhai who said this, and her expression did not show the slightest sign of unnaturalness.

Even the eyes did not coax and play with her color, there was just a strong determination to trust someone!

"Wait, wait...... Didn't you collect those and take them to the river to be buried under that tree? ”

The wooden shovel in his hand fell to the ground, and Tsuiko, who was in disbelief, said excitedly with a trembling voice.

In response, Dao Daozhai patted Cuizi's head sympathetically, and then motioned to Mica to help her take the body of the Great Witch.

"Of course not, that tree is the tree of the times, and it has the power of time that ordinary people can't imagine."

"We hauled everyone's bodies there for the purpose of using the power of the Times Tree."

"Protect everyone's body from deterioration over time......"

After a lot of scramble operations.

Tsuiko who took the body of the great witch and walked with Dao Dao Zhai.

On the way, she suddenly asked curiously: "Lord Dao Dao Zhai!" Are we going to use the power of that tree to resurrect everyone? ”

"I don't think it'......"

Dao Daozhai scratched his cheek, looked up at the sky, and muttered a little distractedly.

"The person who has the ability to resurrect everyone, I think there may be only one lord now."

"My lord? Who are you talking about? Tsuiko asked suspiciously.

Dao Dao Zhai said with a somewhat strange expression: "Haven't you seen this girl before, your memory won't be so bad, right?" ”

"I've seen this before?" Cuizi was at a loss for a while, and then suddenly!

"Could it be that the one who stood next to Tadayuki Kamo before was Lord Inugami?"

"That's right, that's my lord!" Dao Daozhai puffed up his chest proudly.

However, at this moment, Tsuiko was still a little puzzled and said, "But at that time, I heard Lord He Mao call him as if he was the King of Fighting Teeth?" ”

"Stupid girl!" Dao Daozhai couldn't help but lightly tap Cuizi's head and said: "Douya is the real name of my lord, so we usually just use honorific titles for him, remember, don't make this mistake in the future." ”

Cuizi, who was covering her head, stuck out her tongue obediently and said, "Oh, I see......"

"By the way, where has Inugami-sama been now?"

“…… I said, you girl, why are you so curious? You have too many questions, right? ”

A little impatient, Dao Dao Zhai, vaguely saw the figure of Youxiang from Cuizi's body.

However, Tsuiko is obviously much better than Yuxiang's personality, at least Tsuiko is very sensible and won't cause trouble.

"I'm sorry Lord Dao Zhai, it's Tsuiko who is hesitating...... But people really want to know. ”

In the face of Tsuiko's coquettish offensive, Dao Daozhai was quickly defeated, and said while sighing.

"Okay, I've convinced you, my lord, he is now looking for a way to resurrect everyone outside."

"And we ......"

Look at the destination you are about to reach.

Dao Daozhai took a deep breath and said with a firm expression: "...... All you have to do is believe in Him! ”

Under the Tree of Times.

He Mao Zhongxing sat cross-legged, frowning from time to time and fiddling with a few divination instruments in front of him.

"Something isn't quite right...... Why did I calculate that there would be two results on the trip of the Fighting Tooth King? ”

"How could the murder and the auspiciousness get mixed together?"

"Could it be that my ability is insufficient, and I can't even count the luck of the Fighting Tooth King?"

He Mao Zhongxing, who had a tangled look on his face, felt that his brain was a little insufficient at the moment, and his mood was inexplicably a little irritable.

At this moment, he reached out and was about to count it again, but a letter fell out of his sleeve.

Picking up the letter, he didn't open it, because he had already read the contents of the letter.

The content of the letter is actually very simple, that is, the current emperor asked him to calculate the itinerary and safety of the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty this time.

After all, there have already been two groups of envoys sent to Tang who have reached the specified return time, and they have lost news on the sea.

This made the current emperor very uneasy, so he asked Kamo Tadayuki to help.

However, He Mao Zhongxing had already calculated it before, and the divination results of the Tang envoys who returned were very bad, and they were all great murderers!

In these years, Neon is a super admirer of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, so every once in a while, he will organize people and send Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty to learn culture by boat.

However, Neon's shipbuilding technology is limited today, and the sea ships are all built with mortise and tenon structures, and there is not a single nail on the whole ship.

Boats built in this way can walk on rivers and lakes, but they can reach the rough sea.

A big wave can overturn the ship in a few minutes, or even tear it apart and engulf it.

Not to mention the youkai they'll encounter on the sea......

In addition, it can be known from the information recorded in the documents.

In the process of sending Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty dozens of times in the history of Neon, there was only one round trip to Ping'an!

At other times, on the way back and forth between the two countries, there are tragic records of ship wrecks and deaths!

Putting the letter back in his sleeve, he was about to divinate and calculate the itinerary of the tooth again.

Suddenly, Kamo Tadayuki sensed that an outsider had broken into the barrier he had set up in Inugami Village, and there were quite a few of them!

After lowering his head and fiddling with the divination instrument a few times, He Mao Tadayuki, who had calculated the conclusion, immediately became angry!

"A bunch of fat waste, just eat, drink and have fun all day long, and now they still want to come and dismantle my platform?"

With a gloomy face, he stood up, his feet shrunk as if he were shrinking from the ground, and moved towards the position at the entrance of the village.

“…… It's time to give you a long memory. ”
