Chapter 41 - I Have Eaten the Cyan Flower
……
……
After some explanation.
Zhu Shi raised his hand and pressed it against his chin.
Tilting his head slightly, he seemed to understand what Tanjuro meant:
"So, you want me to study your physique and blood?"
Zhu Shi slowly placed her hands on her kimono and asked Tanjuro questions, without mentioning why the other party knew the identity of her doctor.
She glanced at Tanjuro's earrings.
- Did you tell him about it?
Thoughts flashed in the misty eyes of the pearl world.
As for Tanjuro's request, even if he doesn't say it, after Zhu Shi knows about it, he will do it.
Maybe it's because of the sins of the past, or maybe it's because of the hatred of the miserable.
In short, the current pearl world is continuing the meaning of its own existence in its own way.
"That's right." Tanjuro nodded, as if the other party understood what he meant and breathed a sigh of relief, and it was difficult for him to explain the current condition of his body.
I explained my own things clearly, and then,
- It's about the non-miserable thing.
Tanjuro's expression was serious, and he threw out a shocking news with an understatement and unusually decisiveness:
"I've eaten cyan flowers."
At the moment when the end of this sentence fell.
The atmosphere between the three of them became as silent as death.
Even Yushiro, who wanted to have a seizure just now, was stunned in place.
- Cyan flowers.
Even he, who was turned into a ghost by Zhu Shi, had heard this kind of thing from Zhu Shi's mouth.
It was—the last herb that Wu Miao had been looking for, that would allow him to overcome the sunshine.
But for thousands of years, Wu Miao has created countless ghosts to help him find this medicinal herb, but he has never found it.
And now...
Yushiro looked at Tanjuro in a daze, then turned his head stiffly and looked at Zhu Shi.
Zhu Shi's reaction at this moment is not much better than that of Yushiro.
She opened her mouth slightly, as if she was a little surprised, and stared at Tanjuro with a choked gaze, as if she was trying to distinguish the truth of the words in the other party's mouth.
After glancing at Yushiro.
Zhu Shi quietly looked around, and found that there was no one else in the ruins.
Her expression became solemn, and she slowly stood up from the ground, pursing her mouth:
"Mr. Kamato..."
"It's really not appropriate to say that on the street."
"Please follow me."
Then, she turned around and motioned for Yushiro and Tanjuro to follow.
Several people stood up and walked through the ruins of the nearby in the dark night.
……
……
After a lot of twists and turns.
Under the leadership of Zhu Shi.
Tanjuro came to a well-decorated mansion.
The unscathed mansion was in stark contrast to the ruins that surrounded the mansion not far from each other - it seems that Yushiro had used blood magic to avoid an explosion in the vicinity.
"Here we are." Zhu Shi stood at the door of the mansion, she stretched out her hand, gently pushed the door open, turned around, and looked at Tanjuro with Yushiro:
"Please come in, Mr. Kamato."
Squeak...
The sound of the wooden door squeezing slowly came.
……
Brightly lit inside the room.
Zhu Shi knelt on the tatami mat, she sat with Yushiro, and opposite the two was Tanjuro.
"We..."Zhu Shi glanced at Tanjuro hesitantly, she paused, her expression a little unnatural:
"Let's continue with the conversation..."
"About... Mr. Kamato, have you ever eaten a cyan flower..."
She hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"Yes." Tanjuro nodded, he was used to such a flat way of speaking, and the expression on his face did not change much:
"My wife, a few years ago, discovered the spot where the cyan flowers bloomed."
Tanjuro didn't have any expression, he continued, and only when he mentioned 'wife', the corners of his mouth rose imperceptibly:
"It's a flower that doesn't bloom every year, and even if it does, it's very short-lived."
"Grows very close to the top of the mountain."
"It's a beautiful flower when it's in full bloom."
Hearing Tanjuro's detailed description, Zhu Shi's expression became more and more cautious.
She lowered her head slightly, pondering, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
Plus the pair of earrings on the other side... It should be true.
The impact of this incident on her was a little too great, and for a while, Zhu Shi didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
After a moment of thought.
“… Please... Be sure to let me collect some blood, Mr. Kamato. ”
Zhu Shi raised her head, her gentle voice trembled slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of excitement:
"It's good for me... No, it's vital for all...! ”
As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes and lowered her head slightly.
Cyan Flowers - the key medicine for ghosts to overcome sunlight.
And with the blood of Tanjuro, who had taken this medicine, Zhu Shi believed that he would be able to derive something valuable.
At least...
Zhu Shi slowly opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and it was obvious that her inner emotions fluctuated greatly.
- Can have a negative impact on that guy!
"Lord Zhushi..."
Yushiro on the side was keenly aware of Zhu Shi's emotions, he turned his head and looked at it worriedly.
The hand on the black hakama clenched unconsciously, and his brow furrowed.
"Of course, that's exactly what I'm asking for, Miss Zhushi."
Tanjuro smiled and nodded, as if recalling the memories he had with his family, and he was in a good mood now:
"Our purpose is the same."
"As long as it's useful, I'll do my best to cooperate with you."
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the dark red feather weaving, exposed his muscular forearm, and patted it gently:
"It's okay to just start now."
"Thank you..."Zhu Shi nodded gratefully to Tanjuro, and she slowly stood up, her steps a little frivolous with excitement.
Smack.
I stumbled and almost lost my center of gravity.
"Lord Zhushi!" Seeing this, Yushiro hurriedly rushed up, stretched out his hand to support Zhu Shi, and hurriedly said:
"Sit down, I'll take care of the rest."
As he spoke, he slowly helped Zhu Shi to sit down, and he got up and rummaged through the cabinet on the other side of the room.
Eventually, Yushiro took a few transparent needles, shook the light, and walked straight towards Tanjuro.
……
After a while.
"Poof!"
Yushiro pulls the blood-filled needle away from Tanjuro's arm.
Crystal clear crimson blood, a strange red light reflected in the dim light.
He carefully placed the fourth, blood-filled syringe in the wooden box.
Tanjuro sat aside, he slowly let go of his arm, and after looking at the needle hole in his arm that had stopped bleeding, he slowly stood up.
After saying goodbye to Zhu Shi and Yushiro, he left in a hurry.
There was a faint eagerness in my heart.
- He's going back to the Butterfly House.
He didn't go back before because he didn't have enough power to resurrect.
If his family is infected with dragon cough, he will probably spend the rest of his life in remorse.
But now.
Tanjuro felt the two rejuvenating powers that lit up in his body, as well as his body full of physical strength, and his heart was filled with joy.
