Volume 3 The Daily Life of Fuso Chapter 138: The Great Adventure of the Age of Mythology (11)
"Poof, wrong!"
The parrot made a big fork with its wings, then pounded the ground and laughed.
"The answer is not to waste time and have fun, the time to play always passes quickly, and people are old in a blink of an eye, you don't even know this, even children know it~"
"No, no, no, I think this story is telling us that if you don't die, you won't die, what do you think?"
Always grab the parrot with a kind smile on his face.
"So, steamed and braised ones, do you like that?"
"It's not right to eat parrots, let's talk calmly."
The parrot immediately coaxed, lowered its eyebrows and smiled with a smile, and the beach was suddenly filled with happy air.
"I'm sorry to disturb your laughter, but there doesn't seem to be anyone else around but us, and ......"
Ye Yuejin sighed, and then pointed to the place where the group of bear children not far away was.
"If we don't move faster, the turtle will be buried alive, right?"
After driving away the bear children, he held the turtle and asked curiously, "Can I eat this thing?" Is it tasty? How to eat? ”
"You can eat it if you remove it, and the chicken is crunchy."
Xiao Yao gave a thumbs up to the moment.
"Please, don't you want to eat everything you see?"
The voice...... Is it the Debater? Don't eat me, I've pulled the cable for the treasure ship, I've contributed to the Dragon Palace! You can't do that! I want to see Ebisu-sama! ”
As soon as it heard the parrot's voice, the turtle struggled on its paddle-like limbs.
"Don't be nervous, they're just joking with you......"
The kind-hearted, or the only conscience in this team, Ye Yuejin couldn't look past it, and said to Ye Chen and the others: "The joke is enough, please put it down." ”
"Well, can't you eat it?" With a look of regret on his face, he put the turtle back on the beach.
This guy is actually serious!
Even Ye Yuejin was scared......
"Dragon Palace Emissary, we have something to look for His Highness Otohime, but Dragon Palace City has been abandoned, can you tell us what happened?"
When it comes to business, the parrot seems to be a lot more serious.
"It's a bit complicated, by the way, I don't know who these are?" The turtle sighed, then looked at Ye Yuejin and Ye Chen on the side and asked in a puzzled tone.
"They're my friends, it's okay, you can trust them, you can just say anything you want."
The parrot replied without hesitation.
"Well, since they are your friends of Lord Biancaitian, then of course I can trust them."
The turtle turned around and crawled slowly on land.
"It's a long story, I'll take you directly to His Highness Otohime."
"Although I think you're going to have to spend more time climbing than you say."
Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and went up to catch the turtle again.
"Hey, haven't you given up eating it yet?" Ye Yuejin couldn't help but look embarrassed.
"Not really! I just don't have that much time to wait for it to crawl to Nashlaozi Otohime, so let it show me the way, and I'll walk for me. Always respond dissatisfied.
"Don't forget, I'm very good at leading people!"
Hearing him say this, the girl's face turned white as if she remembered some nightmare.
"Oh~ Thank you so much, you deserve to be a friend of Lord Biancaitian, and you are really friendly."
Unaware of the impending disaster, the turtle swung its limbs and looked very happy.
About ten seconds later.
"In the next life, if only I could be a turtle."
Turtle, pawn.
-------------------------------------
"According to the envoy of the Dragon Palace, Otohime should live here."
In front of the small village not far from the sea, the parrot, which had been busy for most of the day, landed on the torches that were still extinguished at night at the entrance of the village, and made a gesture of relief.
"Blame me?" Innocently spread your hands at all times.
"Don't blame you, do you blame me!" Unlike the parrot with wings and the others who had wings and could fly, and Ye Chen and the others who had opened the infinite physical strength, Ye Yuejin had already been tired for the past half a day.
Because after the turtle woke up, he muttered 'The land is terrible' and swore that he would never leave the sea again.
It was useless to persuade Caitian and Yeyuejin, and in the end, they could only ask from the other party where the dragon god Otohime lived now, and they went to find it themselves.
Incidentally, the fear of land was deeply rooted in the turtle's heart after that, and it was even imprinted at the level of DNA.
So much so that future turtles will hardly go to land unless they reproduce.
So no one has ever been to Ryugu Castle since then, probably because of that.
I thought it would take a lot of effort to find Otohime in the village, but not long after entering the village, everyone ran into each other who was drying kelp on the clothes pole outside the house.
Today, Amber River Otohime wears a kimono made of poor fabric, her long black hair is tied up in a bun casually, and she holds a wooden barrel full of kelp in her hand.
But even so, that face that is about ten years old and does not apply powder still has a peerless appearance.
"Who are you?"
Otohime, whose identity was broken by the parrot, stared at everyone with a wary look on her face.
"I said, Otohime, can't you even hear my voice? I used to sail on your Amber River on a treasure ship. ”
The parrot greeted each other rather familiarly.
"Treasure ship, Seven Lucky Gods? Isn't this voice a great debater? ”
After a moment's thought, Otohime remembered the identity of the parrot.
"That's right, it's me." Seeing that the other party recognized him, the parrot couldn't help but be happy.
"It's really not easy to find you, if it weren't for the fact that the envoy of the Dragon Palace was bullied, we wouldn't have known that you came here."
"I see, is it a turtle......
Hearing it say this, Otohime understood how the group of people in front of him had found her.
At this time, an old voice came from the wooden house behind her.
"Otohime, are there any guests coming?"
Then, the curtain of the door like a straw mat was lifted, and an elderly man came out of it with a cane.
Because the standard of living in Fuso was not good in ancient times, the average life expectancy of human beings, like other places in this era, was very low, only about forty years old, and even the old man in the village before was actually only in his fifties.
But now the old man in front of Ye Chen and them can be called old even if he is put into modern times.
"Taro, why did you get out?" Otohime put the barrel in his hand on the ground and hurried to the old man's side to support him.
"Your body is not as good as before, you have to go back to bed and lie down quickly!"
"Haha, it's okay, I think today's spirit is much better than yesterday, even if I go out for a walk, it's no problem." The old man waved his hand open-mindedly and said with a smile.
"No! Isn't it even unsteady to walk! Go back to bed, and when you're well, we'll go to your favorite beach to see the sea. ”
But the girl was not at all shaken by the old man's words, but persuaded the wry-smiling old man back into the house in a gentle but firm tone, like the nurse.
The four people and one bird who had witnessed all this fell silent.
Even the moment frowned, although he was not proficient in curses, he could feel the power of the unusual curse on the old man's body.
After Otohime freed his hand and returned to the house, the parrot asked with some hesitation, "Your Highness Otohime, what is going on with that?" That guy just ......"
Otohime was silent for a long time as if she didn't know how to answer, and then finally sighed.
"He's my husband, Taro Urashima."
Although it was somewhat expected, Otohime's own admission still made Yozuki Jin, who grew up listening to Urashima Taro's stories, show a subtle and unacceptable expression.
"That's not right, we took the treasure ship to the Seven Lucky Gods on the tour a few years ago, didn't you stay in Dragon Palace City at that time? Even if you like humans, you don't like old men like that, right? ”
The parrot, who was also unacceptable, asked alive.
"Taro...... Before we were united, he was just an ordinary young man, but human beings could not fall in love with the gods, and after he accepted my love, he was punished by heaven and became what he is now......"
Otohime looked a little sad, and Mu Ran stood there, with some sadness in his voice.
"But there are also many stories of gods marrying human maidens in Fuso mythology, right? I thought that the inability of man and god to love each other was a ...... in Chinese mythology Just like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl. ”
Ye Yuejin immediately raised her own question.
"Is there one? But I don't remember anything like that? Otohime asked suspiciously.
The parrot flew to Ye Yuejin's shoulder, stabbed the girl's cheek, and whispered.
"Those stories have hardly happened in this era, and even if it is a story of this kind of love between humans and gods in the future, it is not that the gods are using some loopholes to sublimate the other human being into gods to avoid heavenly punishment, it is just simple misinformation, after all, the conditions for Fuso to be promoted to a god are relatively relaxed."
But Susanoo is also one of the three noble sons, and the dragon god who is replaced by Amber River does not have this ability.
So I can only watch my lover turn into a gray-haired old man, and there is nothing I can do.
After listening to the parrot's explanation, Ye Yue Jin showed an apologetic expression to Otohime.
"If you're really in love with that person, it's probably the right thing to do now."
"Although there is no way to completely eliminate the Heavenly Punishment," Parrot suggested, "the degree will definitely be reduced. ”
"It's too late......"
Otohime gently stroked her flat lower abdomen, and her face showed a loving look full of mother's radiance.
"We already have flesh and blood, and even if we leave him now, there is no way to weaken the Heavenly Punishment, so even if I leave Dragon Palace City behind, I will spend this last time with him."
