Chapter 151: Immortality
Li Tai'an finally agreed to Xu Shan's plan to forge the knife, although they didn't know where the materials came from, but Li Tai'an looked at the long knife that had followed him from the beginning, and gradually had an idea in his mind.
After packing up everything, Li Tai'an held Rouge in his arms and once again planned to set off towards Jiuyuan.
At first, he still wanted Rouge to recover and go by himself, but Rouge refused to come down, and Li Taian had no choice but to follow her wishes.
"Thank you Miss Lixiang for your hospitality, now we plan to leave for Jiuyuan, I hope your Jiulong clan can get better and better!" Li Tai'an looked at Lixiang in front of him and said.
Because of the relationship between Rouge in her arms, Li Tai'an can't get too close to her, and if she gets too close, Rouge will have deep hostility towards her.
"Do you need me to show you the way?" Rika asked weakly.
At the beginning, when she communicated with Li Tai'an, there was not much pressure, but since Rouge appeared, she felt a deep pressure.
If she could, Rika would actually want to wait for her father to come back and deal with this matter.
But Li Tai'an seemed to be in a hurry, and she didn't dare to say anything to save her.
Li Tai'an shook his head: "No need, you have already taken us twice last time, and we have already recorded the route." ”
"Okay, okay!"
In the end, Li Tai'an and the others left the Jiulong tribe and returned to the original road.
Li Tai'an looked at Rouge who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, and asked Xu Shan curiously: "Why did the people of the Black Mountain tribe call me the Emperor at the beginning, and why do they call Rouge Yuzaoqian?" ”
Regarding these two titles, Li Tai'an has always kept them in mind, and it is only now that he asks them.
After all, it was in the Jiulong tribe, and Li Tai'an didn't want to expose too many things.
He could trust Rikka, but he didn't trust the rest of the Nine Dragons clan.
"Actually, this emperor, you have already heard his story." Xu Shan said with a smile.
Li Tai'an thought for a while and said in surprise: "Are you talking about the emperor who gathered the resources of the entire Fukushima to refine the sword?!" ”
Xu Shan nodded, with admiration on his face: "Except for him, I don't think there is a second person in Fukushima who can complete this." ”
Through the Black Mountain tribe and the Jiulong tribe, these two tribes are like a microcosm of the whole of Fukushima.
Jiaopeng nominally ruled the whole of Fukushima, but privately, it was divided into many such tribal systems.
What Jiaopeng usually wants to do and what needs he has, he will put it forward and send it out, but whether he implements it or not depends on the patriarch of that tribe.
Therefore, the Jiaopeng government does not have much actual power.
And the Jiaopeng government, the only peak, is the so-called imperial period.
The Emperor of Fukushima is the greatest emperor since the establishment of Jiaopeng.
He actively developed the military and economy, and Fukushima's overall strength was improved, and it became more and more stable.
In the face of the Fukushima tribal division system, the emperor showed absolute dominance and terrifying means.
It is rumored that the three tribes that opposed him the most at that time were also the three largest tribes on Fukushima.
After the emperor announced a series of reforms, the three clans directly proclaimed that they would abolish his position and re-establish a leader.
However, the next day, the patriarchs of the three major tribes all disappeared mysteriously, and new patriarchs of the three tribes immediately appeared, and there was no turmoil on the whole, and the three patriarchs immediately bowed down to the Jiaopeng government.
And the Jiaopeng government, from beginning to end, did not say a word, did nothing, as if it was like a spectator.
But when the emperor came out with the heads of the three patriarchs to worship the sky, everyone understood what role the Jiaopeng government and the emperor played behind this incident.
Soon, all of Fukushima, any opposition to the emperor disappeared, and the power of the Jiaopeng government reached its all-time peak.
Only such an emperor can make such Fukushima devote all the power of the island to forge a famous sword that is unique in the world.
"After the emperor failed to defeat the Yaqi Orochi, he was depressed for a long time, and Fukushima, which was originally stable, was once again in turmoil.
Outside, there was pressure from other countries, and inside there were the Yaqi Snake that harmed the world, and the major tribes that had previously submitted to the emperor's rule became restless again.
And most importantly, when the Yaqi Great Snake was defeated, the emperor promised them that once they succeeded, they would get a thousandfold reward, so those tribes were willing to give their gains.
But in the end, they saw nothing but ten knives.
How can the depression in my heart be eliminated all at once? Coupled with the decadent emperor, their actions became more and more unscrupulous. Xu Shan told the story after the crusade, this history, Li Tai'an and they really don't know much.
"A generation of male masters, it shouldn't fall like this, that's too boring." Yellow Dog complained.
In Xu Shan's narration, the first half of the emperor's life was undoubtedly brilliant and ambitious, but in the back, it was a bit unsightly.
"The rest of the story has something to do with rouge, or to be precise, it should have something to do with the nine-tailed fox. As for the nine-tailed fox, whether it is the nine-tailed fox on our side, I don't know, this is the answer that the Li family's heavenly master can give. Xu Shan continued.
Later, Jiaopeng's minister couldn't bear to see the emperor sink like this, so he took him out on a tour, wanting to use the rivers and mountains of Fukushima to awaken his fighting spirit.
In the process, he met a very beautiful woman, and it was only the first time he saw her that the emperor sank into it. He brought her back to Jiaopeng, and Jiaopeng also ushered in another era.
What her original name was, no one knows, but the people of Fukushima all call her Tamamae, which is the name of a youkai.
Tamamo front,The body is a white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox.,It's rumored that she'll turn into a peerless beauty.,Because she has an extremely wide range of knowledge.,So she's called the first talented woman in Fukushima.,It's also destined that she will only stay with the most powerful people.。
And this person, in Fukushima, only the emperor has this qualification.
With Tamamo's help, the emperor regained his ambition and actively rectified Jiaopeng and Fukushima, restoring stability once again.
Although they were still unable to deal with the Yaqi Orochi, which endangered the world, they finally ensured Jiaopeng's dominance in Fukushima.
Later, the emperor and Tamamo both passed away, and Tamamo was in front of the emperor's tomb, turning into a killing stone, guarding the emperor's mausoleum for generations. ”
"So, they took Rouge as the front of the Tamamo, and the Rouge saw me and came directly to me, they subconsciously thought that I was the reincarnation of the emperor, after all, the Tamamo will guard the emperor for generations." Li Tai'an reasoned.
Xu Shan nodded.
"Then their vision is not very good, white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox, this rouge is white-faced and white-haired!" Yellow Dog complained.
However, as soon as the yellow dog finished speaking, when he looked at Rouge in Li Tai'an's arms again, Rouge had already turned into a white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox.
"Tamamo has appeared in front of him?" Yellow Dog said in surprise, he didn't expect that Rouge still had Fukushima's blood.
Li Tai'an glanced at him and said, "What do you think?" How can rouge be before Tamamo. This was her means of self-preservation, and before she was injured and unconscious, she exchanged all her energy for a self-protection mechanism. Although she was unconscious now, the energy didn't stop.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Fukushima, Tamamo is an extremely powerful monster in the legend, and they dare not do it easily, and that energy turns Rouge into Tamamo in their eyes. It's an illusion. ”
Naruto and Xu Shan nodded, because they were not affected by the illusion, so the rouge was still the same as before.
Li Tai'an continued: "None of these things are important now, the important thing is that we need to find materials that can hold ten famous swords, we need to find a swordsmith who can help us forge the last famous sword, and we have to collect ten famous swords!" ”
"I can't do anything about the first two things, I can only rely on yourselves. But the last one, I have a clue. Xu Shan said.
"Oh? Listen to it. ”
"At the beginning, after the crusade failed, the major tribes did not get what they wanted, and in order to appease them, the emperor handed over a few of the ten famous knives that had lost their owners to several major tribes, and the Jiaopeng government kept one for himself. So, now there are six positions in total.
The black god is in your hands, Jiaopeng is in the hands of the king, and the other four are in the hands of the four major tribes of Jiuyuan. The Genji tribe mastered the Nightmare, the Matsushita tribe mastered the white head, the Arataki tribe mastered the rainy night, and the Hirohisa tribe mastered the cherry blossoms.
These five famous knives are estimated to have to be put in the back to get them, after all, it is still a bit difficult to deal with these tribes.
And the last time I left Fukushima, I heard the news of two famous knives, one is the black god in your hand, and the other is called Changsheng, the location of Changsheng is in the Nagano Plains not far away, we can go and find Changsheng first! Xu Shan suggested again.
Naganohara, the place where Li Tai'an and they must pass on their way to Fukushima, is an extremely vast plain, filled with a large number of wandering samurai and wandering wizards, and it is a relatively chaotic place.
"When was the last time you left?"
"March of this year."
It's December now, and the New Year is coming soon, and there is a difference of nine months in between, which is not good news for Li Tai'an and them.
"Anyway, let's go to the Plains first, if Changsheng really recognizes the Lord, we also have a direction. We don't expect the ten famous knives to be in our hands, but we have to determine the location of the ten famous knives, and after everything is ready, we can start the next step of the activity. Li Tai'an hurriedly decided.
The group adjusted their direction slightly and rushed quickly towards Hiranohara.
At the moment, inside a tavern in Hiranohara.
Lin Yunbo was dressed in clothes similar to those of the locals, and the small bamboo box he had been carrying was placed on the ground, and next to him, there was a young boy with a snow-white long knife around his waist.
"Kojiro, what kind of abilities do you have for immortality? Can't you just pull it out for me to see? Lin Yunbo's face was a little red, and a lot of alcohol went down his stomach, causing him to be a little drunk.
"Lin Sang, I said, in this place where there are many people, don't talk about immortality. If someone targets us, we may not be able to run away. Famous knives have a fatal attraction for the people of Fukushima. Kojiro said anxiously.
After saying that, he also looked around and was relieved to make sure that no one noticed them.
It's just that his immature expression and panicked look still reveal that he is not very experienced, far inferior to Lin Yunbo, who was slightly drunk on the side.
Lin Yunbo put down the wine glass in his hand and patted Kojiro on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I just learned fortune-telling recently, and I know a little bit about zodiac signs and constellations." What you want to do, although it is a bit twisty, will always work out. Immortality will be your good companion, but in the end, you will still be separated. ”
After hearing Lin Yunbo's words, Kojiro pursed his lips disdainfully: "When did the things you said work, they were almost a little worse every time, who knows how much they were missing." ”
Lin Yunbo slapped a wine gap and said again: "Don't worry, this time, I will definitely not lie to you." And there will be old people coming to the door, and among the old people, there will also be a knife owner. ”
Hearing this, Kojiro looked at Lin Yunbo with joy, and his eyes were full of a pink expectation.
"Really? Is the sword master of Sakura? Did she succeed too? That's great! ”
However, in the face of the excited Kojiro, it was Lin Yunbo who was already drunk who responded to him.
"Didn't you say you don't like to drink? How did you get drunk like this? Kojiro looked at Lin Yunbo helplessly, took out the money from his arms, settled the account, and then took Lin Yunbo and walked out of the tavern in a leisurely manner.
At the beginning, he was seriously injured, but it was Lin Yunbo who saved him, and after that, the two traveled together until now.
After the two of them came to a small forest, Kojiro first settled the drunk Lin Yunbo, and then slowly said, "Come out!" You've been with us for a long time. ”
There was silence in the grove for a while, and there was no movement.
Kojiro picked up a stone and threw it directly.
Then out of the grove came a group of men, smiling at the two of them, dressed in shabby kimonos, stepping on old clogs, and with long knives at their waists.
They are wandering samurai in Hiranohara.
"Boy, I see that the knife on your waist is good, how about it, hand it over, and we will let you go!" Said the leader.
Kojiro shook his head and gently pressed it on top of Changsheng: "This knife is my hope and my family's hope. I can't give it to you! ”
"Boy, when you get here, I can't help you!"
Many wandering samurai put their hands on their long swords.
However, Kojiro drew his sword faster than them, and a white light flashed, and all the wandering samurai disappeared.
And Kojiro had already come to Lin Yunbo's side again, slowly helped Lin Yunbo up, and walked into the distance.
In the night, the backs of the two slowly elongated.
A sad song was sung from Kojiro's mouth.
It's full of emotions and experiences, not like a song that a teenager can sing.
