It was sunny and again it was a very nice day.

The blue sky is reflected in the sea, which was originally a blue sea, and the blue is even more pure.

"I'm finally going back, I'm really nostalgic."

Guan Hu sat on the beach and said with a longing voice.

Now.

Chen Beibei and the others were waiting for the boat on the beach, and they were about to leave Fusang and return to Huaxia.

The people of Chiba Prefecture have also realized that they have misunderstood Chiba Matsuko, and Hiratsuda even came to look for Chiba Matsuko, but Chiba Matsuko did not see him.

"Anyway, I'm already leaving, so let's not meet. Please help me tell Hirimata-sama, and say that I have found a companion and will live well, so please don't worry. ”

This is what Chiba Matsuko said to Chen Beibei when he came to her in Hiratsuda.

After Chen Beibei relayed Chiba Matsuko's words to Hiratsuda, Hirata had no choice but to go back.

However, it can be seen that Hirata is no longer the same as before, and his brows are furrowed.

"The master's hometown must also be a very beautiful place, right?"

The second woman wears a black cap on top of her head and wears a simple telekinetic outfit. It still looks very youthful and energetic, and the current second daughter is not as gloomy as before.

"It's just a very ordinary place."

Chen Beibei replied.

Chen Beibei's hometown is Sanquan Village, and that place cannot be said to be very beautiful.

It is a relatively backward village.

Most of the young people in the village have come to work outside, and there are only some old people and children in the whole village. It is not comparable to the traditional farming villages of Chiba Prefecture and Sanuki.

After all.

In Chiba Prefecture and Sanuki villages, because everyone stays in the village, even if the living conditions may be worse. However, in many ways, it is better than Chen Beibei's hometown.

At the very least, it will look more alive.

"Master, the ship is coming."

Yingcao pointed to the steamer that was slowly moving towards them in the sea, and said happily.

It's a big ship and it still looks brand new.

"Let's go."

Chen Beibei looked at his Shishen and said to them.

……

The big ship was moving fast, towards the country on the other side of the sea.

However, on the sea, time can sometimes become blurry, because there is an endless sea all around, and sometimes it may even feel as if time has stood still.

"Let's tell the story."

Guan Hu broke the silence.

Originally, everyone was bored and sitting on the boat, and they were already drowsy.

This is already the third day that the big ship has been sailing at sea.

"yes, yes, I'm going to die of boredom."

Yingcao hurriedly stood up and rubbed her face violently, making herself look more energetic.

Although the ship is new, the inside of the cabin is still very rudimentary, and the cabin is divided into two cabins, separated by a curtain in the middle. On the other side of the cabin was a group of other passengers.

When they got on the boat, Chen Beibei saw them, and there were six people in that group, two men and four women.

It's all ordinary people's outfits, and it doesn't look special.

Seeing that the gods were all sitting around Guan Hu, Chen Beibei had no choice but to walk over and sit down: "If you tell a story, don't make noise to the people next door." ”

"It doesn't matter, it's too dull for such a journey. It's hard to hear some new stories. ”

The person next door heard Chen Beibei's words and hurriedly said.

It's a mature woman's voice, it sounds very gentle, and it should be from Fusang Country.

The ship had been at sea for three days, and the light in the cabin was very dim, and everyone woke up every day to talk, and then went back to sleep.

In the past few days, this voyage has been torturous for everyone.

The guy next door, of course.

"Would you like to sit down with us and tell each of you a story?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Okay."

The woman replied, still the same mature woman who had spoken before.

"Kotomi doesn't like storytelling, does she?"

Through the curtain, it can be vaguely seen that a man reached out and grabbed the woman who was going to come over, and said in a cold tone.

Chen Beibei withdrew his gaze, and the person next door was silent for a while.

"I'm sorry, we'll just listen to you here, we're really not good at storytelling."

The woman's voice rang out.

"Well, in that case, then we won't be strong."

Chen Beibei replied.

……

The sea is calm and the moon is reflected on the sea, giving it a very tranquil feeling.

Candles were lit in the cabin, and the light was a little dim. It's as if a confined space has been separated in the night.

"Guan Hu, you know a lot of stories, so you can tell them first."

Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and said to her.

Although Chen Beibei also knows a lot of stories, Chen Beibei prefers to listen to them rather than telling them.

After all.

When you hear something new, a lot of ideas always come to mind.

Chen Beibei liked the process very much.

"Well, what kind of story should I tell?"

Guan Hu frowned and thought about it, but soon thought of it: "Just tell a story about flowers and birds." ”

"Sister Guanhu, is the Flower and Bird Roll a painting?"

Yingcao asked.

"Well, but this is not an ordinary picture, but a picture of a monster called a monster."

Guan Hu looked at Yingcao and replied to her.

Then, Guan Hu began to tell the story about the picture scroll called the monster.

"There used to be a pharmacist who wanted to go deep into the mountains to collect some rare herbs.

Because there are few people in the deep mountains, the pharmacist also picked a lot of rare herbs. The medicine man walked all the way deep into the mountains, wanting to go deeper into the forest.

The medicine man finally found a house in the forest.

This surprised the pharmacist, after all, it was almost impossible to live in such an old forest in the Moriyama. ”

"Did Yakushi find that youkai named Hanamaki inside?"

Yingcao looked at Guan Hu and asked her.

Because before, Guan Hu had already said that the story he wanted to tell was related to the flower and bird roll. That's why Yingcao thinks so.

"Sort of. The medicine man found a painting in the house, as well as a white skeleton.

The painting hangs on the wall, and it shows a beautiful girl sitting among the flowers and plants. The girl in the painting, green silk is like a waterfall, surrounded by flower islands, beautiful. And the white bones were still sitting facing the painting, as if staring at the girl in the painting. Starting

The medicine man was quickly drawn to the painting as well.

In a trance, the pharmacist felt that he had come to a completely unfamiliar place.

The stream is murmuring, the blue waves are clear, many birds are chirping in the branches, and the fish are swimming freely in the stream.

Suddenly, there was a girl's singing, and her voice was as clear as a wind chime. The medicine man had also realized at this moment that he should have entered the painting he had just seen.

However, seeing that the surrounding scenery is so beautiful, the medicine master is not panicking.

Just follow the sound, trying to find the girl in the painting, after all, that girl is indeed too beautiful.

If such a beautiful woman can meet each other, then it must be a great blessing in life. ”

"Did the pharmacist see the girl?"

Zashiki asked.

"Well, the medicine man followed the sound and finally found the girl.

It's exactly the same as when I first saw it in the painting.

The green silk is like a waterfall, and the eye waves are circulating, and she is by no means a woman that can be seen in the human world.

The girl sat quietly on the grass, humming an unknown song.

I don't know if the fragrance of the flowers emanates from her, or if it comes from the flowers and plants around the girl.

In a word.

The fragrance in the air makes you feel like you're in a fairyland.

The medicine man didn't dare to speak, but just peeked at the girl from a distance, after all, the medicine man entered the painting by accident. If it comes out, it may disturb the girl.

Instead of disturbing the girl, scare her away.

It's better to hide quietly and listen to the beautiful songs she hums, and watch such beautiful scenery.

When the girl had finished singing the ballad, she got up and left.

The medicine man never came out, and then the medicine man began to look for a way out of the painting.

Although this place is so beautiful, after all, this is not a place where a medicine practitioner should stay.

The medicine man did not get lost in the painting.

The medicine man kept walking, though he didn't know how to leave. But in the end, I passed through a cave and left the painting. ”

"It's incredible, is there really a flower and bird roll in this world?"

Zashiki boy looked at Guan Hu and asked with longing.

Apparently.

The paintings in the Flower and Bird Scroll are stunningly beautiful, unlike the filthy world in which humans live, where everything is clean, beautiful, and even sacred.

"Yes."

Guan Hu looked at Zashiki and replied to her. Starting

"But let's finish that story first."

Guan Hu continued.

"Hmm."

Zashiki nodded obediently.

After the medicine master left the painting, he began to realize that the painting on the wall might be a strange treasure.

So the medicine man took the painting down, wrapped it carefully, and wanted to take it back with him. After all, if you get such a strange treasure and dedicate it to the lord of the domain, then you don't need to risk your life to go into the mountains to collect medicine for a living.

When the medicine man took the painting down, the white bones sitting facing the scroll seemed to be affected, and he slid straight down from the chair and fell to the ground in pieces.

The medicine man looked at the white bones on the ground.

I couldn't help but be afraid, so the medicine man left with the picture scroll after the white bones were solemnly buried. ”

"That white bone must have a deep connection to the picture scroll, right?"

The man on the other side of the curtain said.

is still the mature woman who spoke before, obviously, even if she can't come over to tell the story with Chen Beibei and them, but on the other side of the curtain, she also listens carefully.

"Hmm. However, the relationship between the white bones and the picture scroll can not be told until later in the story. ”

Guan Hu replied.

"Ah...... Sorry to interrupt your story. ”

The woman on the other side of the curtain said in an apologetic tone, apparently not intentionally interrupting Guan Hu.

But.

Listening to this kind of story, all kinds of ideas often pop up in my mind, and sometimes I can't help but ask questions.

"It's okay, when you're telling a story, it's more interesting to have someone involved."

Guan Hu said.

Guan Hu's eyes looked at the curtain, and he could see that the woman was already sitting against the curtain.

I must be really interested in the story told by Guan Hu.

But.

All Guan Hu could see was the vague figure of the woman.

The reason why I was able to tell it was her.

It was only because when I boarded the ship before, I had already seen that the woman's ship was dressed in dark green. At this moment, sitting against the curtain was also a woman dressed in dark green.

"Yakushi will be a person from Iwami Province, so when he went back, he also brought that picture scroll back to Iwami Province. (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)

The place where Yakushi was located was under the jurisdiction of a feudal lord named Fujiwara Yonaga.

The name of the domain was Tsuwano Domain, and it was originally merged with the Yoshinaga Domain.

But.

After the death of the old feudal lord, the two sons of the old feudal lord divided the original feudal territory in two.

Each established its own vassal state.

The feudal lord of the Tsuwano Domain was named Fujiwara Yonaga, and he was the eldest son of the old feudal lord.

And the lord of the Yoshinaga domain was named Fujiwara Yoshikiyo, the second son of the old lord.

The old feudal lord originally had a younger son, but when the old feudal lord was sick in bed, the younger son died tragically in his own home.

People all joined forces with Fujiwara Yonaga and Fujiwara Yokiyo to kill their youngest son. After all, at that time, the originally benevolent old feudal lord took a fancy to his younger son's loyal character and kind nature, so he planned to let him inherit his position as feudal lord.

And Fujiwara Yonaga and Fujiwara Yokiyo are relatively more ferocious.

Even when Fujiwara Yonaga was very young, there were rumors that he would kill the maid who served him.

This is probably true.

Because during that time, the old feudal lord was indeed very angry, and beat Fujiwara Yonaga hard. Until now, the wound that Fujiwara Yonaga was beaten at that time has not completely healed.

I heard that it broke the little finger of Fujiwara Yonaga's right hand, and it looks a lot shorter than ordinary people.

That's why I haven't been able to heal.

The domain where the medicine master is located is the place under the jurisdiction of Fujiwara Yoei.

Fujiwara Yonaga was a very brutal feudal lord.

He also likes a luxurious life, often abuses the maids who serve him, and also has a hobby of collecting rare treasures.

Yakushi knew that the picture scroll he had taken from the deep mountains could only be handed over to Fujiwara Yonaga now.

That's the case.

It should be able to be exchanged for a large sum of money.

If you stay privately, once you are discovered by the feudal lord Fujiwara Yonaga, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

The medicine man took out the painting and took a good look at it one last time, but this time, the medicine man did not enter the painting as before.

Yakushi didn't care, and the next day, he went to Fujiwara Yoonaga's house with that strange picture......"
