Chapter 38 Only the Rice Fields
Xu Ke looked back and saw that a snake head that had been cut off by himself with a sword before actually moved again, as if it had been resurrected again. The snake's head suddenly jumped, and turned into a small black snake no more than five feet long. It writhed its snake and fled to the deer mountain......
"Brother Xu, quickly use your sword qi to cut it into pieces!" He Mao shouted loudly. He looked unusually anxious.
Xu Ke raised the sword in his hand, watching the little black snake snake away, hesitating in his heart, but he was still reluctant to make a move. It wasn't until the little black snake crawled into the depths of the dense forest on Deer Mountain and finally disappeared that he couldn't help but sigh. In Xu Ke's heart, he could vaguely guess that the little black snake might be the last primordial god of Shanzhiba. In Kyoto City, he and Yama Zhi Hachi saw each other like each other, drank heavily for a long night, and now he heard about Yama Zhi Hachi's twists and turns, how could he bear to slash the other party's only one of the world's primordial gods again?
Back then, his senior sister still let him live. Now that he has become such a little snake, will he still be driven to death?
After He Mao saw that the little black snake had finally escaped, he couldn't help but sigh and said regretfully: "Brother Xu, today's snake will be a big snake tomorrow!"
However, at this time, the black little bug was long gone, and no matter how much He Mao regretted it, it was useless. Everyone was so surprised when they saw that he was so surprised, and they didn't know why he came. Yanagi couldn't help but ask, but He Mao just shook his head and said nothing.
......
In any case, these five people went to the island at noon on the eighth day of the second month, and after three hours of fighting, they finally got rid of the big snake that was a disaster to the world. Now that the sun is beginning to set in the west, all things have come to an end, and the time has come for everyone to part.
At this time, although Xu Ke had killed the big snake with his own hands, for some reason, he did not have the slightest joy in his heart. As long as he thought of his method of defeating the great snake, he really couldn't talk about the slightest bit of righteousness, and his heart was inexplicably ashamed and disappointed. It's like a child in a private school, who cheated and plagiarized because he had to deal with an exam, and although he was not discovered and punished by the teacher, he always felt guilty and uneasy in his heart.
Using such a "cheating" method to win the Baqi Snake is unacceptable to the competitive and conceited Xu Ke in any case. It's just that in the urgency of the time, he didn't have a choice. Even so, Xu Ke thought back afterwards, and he was unhappy in his heart.
After Xu Ke packed up the Jin Hongyu and Tianyun Sword, he asked the second brother Zhu Wuneng to blow the whistle. Before long, everyone heard a long and deep low sound, and on the sea in the distance, a turtle like a mountain slowly floated, and the turtle prime minister had arrived as promised.
Xu Ke then said goodbye to He Mao and the others one by one. Liu Sheng was a little reluctant, and he repeatedly thanked Xu Ke sincerely. Yi Helong's face was covered with a black cloth, and although he said parting polite words in his mouth, no one could see the expression on his face. When He Mao stepped into the sea water, he grabbed his arm again, and he couldn't help asking:
"Brother Xu, this is the last time He Mao asks you. When you return to the future, everything you have done here will disappear from the memory of others. Are you really still ...... Don't you want anyone to remember you? If you want, Kamo can cast a spell to keep a person's memory for you. As long as Brother Xu says her name, it can ......"
"This ......" Xu Ke wanted to take Zhu Wuineng's hand and jump into the sea together, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and he fell into a dilemma again. He had originally crossed the Void Gate just to kill the basilisk and reclaim the rain artifact. At this moment, the Baqi Snake is dead, and Jin Hongyu has been successfully retrieved, so why does anyone need to remember his name Xu Ke? Who would have thought that on his trip to kill the snake, he would have the joy of having a bed with two Sang women by mistake. It stands to reason that after Xu Ke leaves, letting these two women forget about him should be their best choice. However, if they really let them forget about him, Xu Ke was still extremely reluctant, and even extremely reluctant......
"Big brother, I've been waiting for the boss for a long time, let's go quickly!" Zhu Wuneng took Xu Ke's hand and urged.
That's it, that's it, what shouldn't have happened in the first place, why bother to remember it? Xu Ke sighed and finally made up his mind.
"Brother He, just let everything go naturally! In the future, take care of the affairs of Inada Ji, please ask Brother He...... The mountains are high and the waters are long, we will have a period in the future!"
After Xu Ke finished saying this, he didn't look back, and jumped into the sea with Zhu Wuneng, and the two figures, fat and thin, disappeared in the sea in an instant......
"Okay, He Mao knows, what Brother Xu chose turned out to be Rice Field Ji!" He Mao stood on the seashore, facing the direction of Xu Ke's departure, and said in a low voice. Although he also knew that Xu Ke would not be able to hear his whisper no matter what.
Although, in Xu Ke's answer, he just asked He Mao to help take care of the rice field, but in He Mao's previous question, he only asked Xu Ke to report a name. Now that Xu Ke has said the name of Daotian Ji, no matter what Xu Ke thinks in his heart, He Mao has firmly believed that Xu Ke wants to keep Daotian Ji's memories of himself.
Perhaps, in Xu Ke's heart, that's exactly what he thinks?
Perhaps, even Xu Ke himself didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
Anyway, there is no doubt about one thing, as long as Xu Ke returns to the Void Gate, in Yoshida's memory, Xu Ke will never appear again
figure. Although, she and Xu Ke have spent seven unforgettable nights in a row.
Those seven beautiful and lingering nights, like dreams and flowers, Xu Ke had already made up his mind in his heart, and he would not be willing to forget them no matter what. Those seven tense and joyful nights seemed to have passed in just a moment, but they were destined to be deeply engraved in the depths of Xu Ke's mind and become memories that he could never erase.
Yoshida, however, will soon forget those seven nights. She may vaguely remember that there was a man with whom she had a brief affection, but in any case she could not remember who that man was, what he looked like, and where he came from.
Is that really the right thing to do? Isn't it right? Is it right?......
Is it really fair for Yoshida to do this?
......
Xu Ke no longer wants to think about those issues that can never be thought about. With the help of avoiding water beads, he and Zhu Wuneng quickly crossed the shallow sea and walked to the back of the boss. I only heard the boss's deep and long voice: "Two, sit tight!" The huge green turtle started its four legs, cut through the blue waves, and walked towards the south of the sea against the wind......
Seeing the back of the elder far away, He Mao couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart. He could hear Yi Wo and Yanagi behind him discussing what the huge green turtle was, and he didn't bother to explain it to them. He slapped his palms a few times in the air, and the two previous "Rakshasa" gods reappeared in the air.
At this time, the Baqi Snake was dead, and the snakehead and snake body had been sucked into the pot by Zhu Wucang's Jingxing pot. The "Grass Pheasant Sword" and the Jin Hongyu were also taken away by Xu Ke. General Yagyu wanted to find some souvenirs of his victory over the Great Snake and present them to the emperor when he returned to Kyoto. Anyway, the three of them searched all over the island, but found nothing but the empty eight vats and some broken wine jars. In desperation, everyone had to return empty-handed.
Since Ihotaki had his own boat, He Mao and Yanagi said goodbye to Ihelong, and the two got into a carriage by themselves, and Kamo slapped his palms in the air, and the two "giants" walked down the clouds, lifted the carriage and ran like flying, and headed for Kyoto.
He Mao sat in the carriage, his heart was still thinking, he secretly said sadly, it's a pity! Brother Xu's kindness, the last remaining wisp of the Baqi Snake's primordial spirit, was actually escaped by him! Although he is not worried about turning into a small snake today, but forty years later, it will be the time when the Baqi Snake is resurrected, and at that time, I am afraid that the people of our Sang Kingdom will be ruined again!
After all, Kamo Tadayuki is the "No. 1 Onmyoji of Sang Country", and he is also proficient in the art of future deduction. After some careful calculations, he was shocked to realize that forty years later, if he was found a special opportunity by the great snake, it would be the time when the great snake was resurrected. And, by that time, he himself may no longer be alive. Then, the heavy responsibility of killing the big snake will fall on the next generation of onmyoji.
He Mao had two plans in his heart. First, he wanted to quickly bring the rice field hime, who was still in the Ihe Valley at the moment, to his home in Kyoto, so that he could make a living. Second, he wants to find a gifted child as soon as possible to cultivate and teach all his skills. In the future, after he dies, the heavy task of killing snakes and demons will be handed over to his apprentices.
It's just that this time they were able to kill the Yaqi Snake, almost all of them relied on Xu Ke's help. At that time, I really don't know if my apprentice can fight the big snake? If forty years later, there can still be a master like Xu Ke who can suddenly kill him, then how ...... How good?
Thinking of this, He Mao couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his mind. This time, Xu Ke relied on the Void Gate to travel from the future. So, the next snake killing, can Xu Ke travel to the future? With Xu Ke's peerless sword, even if the Yaqi Snake is resurrected after 40 years, what can be done?
......
......
Here, Kamo and Yanagi are riding in a carriage carried by giants, running through the clouds. Over there, Xu Ke and Zhu Wuneng were sitting on the back of a huge turtle, enjoying the sparkling waves of the sea at sunset. Xu Ke watched the boundless sea water retreat behind him, the water in the distance was shining in the sky, the golden sunlight was reflected on the sea, and the sea water was rippling with bursts of golden light. The sea breeze blows, the blue sky is like washing, the birds are flying, and the fish are jubilant......
Seeing this beautiful scenery in the sea, Xu Ke couldn't help but feel comfortable in his heart. He remembered that this trip to the treasure finally helped his second brother successfully complete the Dragon King's entrustment. After that, the dragon king had the magic weapon of rainfall, and the disaster of the great drought in the four provinces and sixteen provinces of the Great Qian, he was also saved.
"Second brother, after you bring this golden bowl back to the Dragon King, he should immediately rain rain, right?"
"It should be okay to do that, however, I guess that the old dragon king, even if he gets the golden cup, will not immediately cast a spell to rain down. Zhu Wuneng lay on the turtle's back, looking at the sky, and replied lazily.
"Why is this? Since the Dragon King already has a magic weapon for rainfall, why doesn't it rain quickly?" Xu Ke wondered.
Zhu Wuneng turned over and sat up, and said to Xu Ke: "Big brother! That Ao Guang, as the Dragon King of the East China Sea, also has his troubles! Although he is the master of the Dragon Palace, he is more than under the jurisdiction of Heavenly Court, and there is a Jade Emperor above who oppresses him! This time, the old Dragon King lost his magic weapon, and he was afraid of being punished from above, so he never reported it to Heavenly Court. Although the drought in your Qianguo is so bad that it is ridiculous, to this day, the Jade Emperor still doesn't know about it!"
Xu Ke was still puzzled
"I have worked hard all over the world, and now there are four provinces and 16 prefectures, and there are no less than one million people affected by the drought! The fields in the disaster areas have not been harvested, and countless people have died of starvation...... Even if Heavenly Court doesn't know about such a big drought, the Dragon King should give rain as soon as possible, even if Heavenly Court doesn't know about it, since he has obtained the magic weapon, he should also give rain as soon as possible!"
Zhu Wuneng smiled and said: "There are some truths, whether it is heaven or earth, it is not the same? Since Ao Guang deliberately concealed the heavenly court, he naturally did not dare to rain everywhere in a big way. Now, even if he got the golden bowl back, he could only secretly apply a small amount of rain, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the heavenly court. That's why his old dragon king asked the third princess to hand me a piece of the East China Sea spirit stone. That spirit stone is what Li Chunfeng used to cast spells to indicate the exact direction......"
Xu Ke thought for a while, and then asked: "According to the second brother's intention, if you want the Dragon King to rain, you must also have Li Daochang's method, and use the power of the East China Sea Spirit Stone to send a message to inform the Dragon King of the exact location of the drought?
"That's right! Big brother is really smart! It's easy to understand!" Zhu Wuneng couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise with a smile.
Xu Ke shook his head and sighed: "Ahem! What the second brother said is indeed right! Heaven and earth, the truth is the same! I can't imagine that you immortals also have so many rules and constraints! The Dragon King of the East China Sea, as the god of rain, should have thought of the common people in the world, and wherever there is a drought, he will go to the rain! Unexpectedly, for the sake of his own face, he was afraid of being punished by the heavenly court, so he took care of the millions of victims who were waiting to be fed in vain, did not think about the difficulties of living in the common people, and concealed the drought for a year! Now, even if we help him recapture the rain magic weapon, he will not dare to secretly rain until Brother Li casts a spell for him and summons him...... Such a dragon king, what use do you want him?!"
Zhu Wuneng hurriedly pointed his finger in the direction of the green turtle's big head, waved his hand and said, "I said, big brother, you can't say that! My old man has been casting spells for you mortals for thousands of years, what is he trying to do? His old man is busy, hard work, day and night for you to make clouds and rain. Only when those mortals encounter a great drought will they remember to worship in the Dragon King Temple, and when the daily wind and rain are good, how many of them will recite the good of the Dragon King? My old father-in-law, he also has grievances in his heart! Moreover, the eldest brother is now in the mortal world and does not know the rules of the heavenly court. If the old dragon king's fault is known to the Jade Emperor, then the punishment will not be light! What kind of dragon rolling platform, dragon whip, and dragon knife in Heavenly Court...... These torture instruments are all prepared for the Dragon King clan!"
When Xu Ke heard this, he couldn't help but groan. He thought to himself: "I can't imagine that this so-called Heavenly Court also has so many strict laws and regulations! According to what the second brother said, this high-ranking Heavenly Court is like our court! If the minister accidentally angers the emperor, won't he also be sent to prison and subjected to all kinds of torture by the Tsing Yi guard? If a certain minister accidentally loses his own seal and thus does not handle his affairs well, is it not reasonable for him to be afraid of being punished by the emperor and conceal it and not report it? It seems that what the second brother said is not unreasonable!"
Based on this inference, Xu Ke recalled his past in Tsing Yiwei. In the Heavenly Court, just dealing with the dragon clan, there are torture tools such as "rolling dragon platforms, beating dragon whips, and dragon slashes", not to mention other punishments. In the Tsing Yi Guard, all kinds of torture instruments are also emerging one after another, and all of them are frightening! Most of the prisoners who were imprisoned in the Bei'an Pingsi Imperial Prison were unjustly imprisoned and tortured, and how many of them were really guilty like Sun Xun?
Previously, after Nangong Buyu arrived as the Qianhu of the Northern Anping Division, he worked with him to rectify the edict prison, and many unjust and wrongful cases have been sorted out, and many innocent prisoners have also been released. After he was deposed as a commoner by the emperor's decree and left Tsing Yiwei, I don't know how Nangong Qianhu's rectification of the edict and prison went? In the future, if he really doesn't ask about the affairs of the court from now on, he just lives in seclusion on Bibo Island with Sister Hu. Then, Nangong Bu has lost his arm since then, and there is a dangerous figure like Shen Huan outside, and he is in the Tsing Yi Guard, but it will be extremely difficult......
Zhu Wuneng saw his eldest brother thinking to himself, and reminded: "Also, eldest brother will never say anything like 'you immortals' in the future." Lao Zhu, like you, would have been reduced to a vulgar mortal fetus long ago! Otherwise, I would have stepped on an auspicious cloud for more than 10,000 miles of road. Why do you still want to sit on the back of this turtle and walk so fast?!"
At this moment, the turtle prime minister under Zhu Wuneng's feet seemed to feel very unhappy in his heart when he heard it. He spread his four legs and paddled the sea with all his might, raising waves hundreds of feet. Xu Ke sat on the back of the turtle, only to hear the sound of the wind whirring, the scene in front of him flashed away, and in a blink of an eye, he had swam forward for hundreds of miles. The giant turtle paraded so fast in the sea that it was called "turtle speed" by Zhu Wuneng!
When Xu Ke heard Zhu Wucan's complaint, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Second brother, the boss of the family is kind enough to carry us, and he is like flying, and you will scold him for 'turtle speed'!
"He dare!" Zhu Wuneng grabbed the three-toothed nail rake in his hand and said with a smile: "If he dares to turn over, I will give him a nail rake first and break his glans!"
At this time, the huge green head of the boss raised high, as if he rolled his eyes a few times at Zhu Wuneng......
