Governor Gushan, who almost didn't catch his breath, rested for a while and took a few pills to quickly replenish his physical strength before he regained his composure. Carrying a potion that can quickly restore energy with him is not the foresight of the young Shaojiadu, but that this thing has different effects under different dosages.
Ordinary ninjas take a few pills when they are weak, which can make the nervous system run faster and is a good stimulant. Dissolve it in wine and dilute it, which has a good aphrodisiac effect. It is sold in special channels and is quite popular. ; But once used in excessive amounts, it becomes a very terrible "poison", and even most antidotes are ineffective, because it is essentially a "tonic". When used, it is not only hidden and difficult to be discovered by the enemy, but also becomes invisible over time. It gradually gets worse as time goes on; in addition, giving a few pills to the captured prisoners when interrogating information is more effective than most interrogation methods.
"What are you looking at? Do you want some? It's very exciting!"
"No need, I can tell by your expression that it's not serious."
Terumi Mei struggled to sit up, while working hard to refine chakra, circulate power, and explore her own condition, she said to the smiling Furugi Fusui,
"It seems to be no different from before..."
"The effect of the evil-sealing seal varies from person to person."
Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged and responded calmly,
"It is a self-restraint based on your own will. The stronger your desire to resist the curse seal, the better the effect. On the contrary, if one day you feel that you no longer need the evil seal, it will be just a decoration."
Only when it is applied for the first time, the reaction is the strongest. Not only is there a conflict between the evil sealing seal and the curse seal, but also when the two are linked with the brand rooted in the soul, they stimulate the mental power and intensify the pain.
"Usually you can treat it as if it doesn't exist, and the curse seal will not have any impact on your daily life. It will only start to cause trouble when the chakra is overdrawn, hurting the core of mental power, or when you are emotionally disturbed and unable to control yourself. "
"So, the key to the problem still lies with me?"
"Indeed."
Fusugi Bosui confirmed Terumi Mei's guess,
"Essentially, the curse mark is a tarsal maggot that is closely connected to your spirit and soul. Unless you are willing to risk your life, or become a madman with multiple personalities and tear a large piece out of your soul, you can only I hope Orochimaru will be open to you. The evil-sealing seal is a self-binding seal, which can barely be regarded as a kind of curse seal..."
"You mean...fight fire with fire?"
Fusugi Fusui glanced meaningfully at Terumi Mei. This female Mist ninja with lively ideas really deserved her fame. Her ability to draw inferences from one instance was much better than most so-called geniuses who relied on their talent to earn a living.
"The evil sealing seal is actually to mobilize your own Yin escape power and turn it into a spiritual maze, trapping the uncontrollable curse seal and part of the soul in it, constraining it to move forward according to its inherent path, so as to prevent the unruly soul from being invaded by outsiders. The erosion force is carried too far.”
If the direction of thought is regarded as a motor vehicle with countless warning signs set up with values and moral bottom lines to guide its progress, the curse mark is like an uninvited and unlicensed drunk driver who always wants to drive on a rampage and violate traffic rules. ; The Seal of Seal is amazing, just like the built-in automatic driving system. To a certain extent, it deprives the driver of the authority to control the steering wheel and the ability to apply the brakes, so that this broken car that is affected by various external influences will not crash. Death.
The evil-sealing seal is not omnipotent. Not only is its reliability questionable, but the host's own thoughts are changeable and uncontrollable. Orochimaru, who is hiding behind the scenes, also has great influence.
"That's not bad. It's much better than having no choice but to wait in vain for unpredictable dangers to come."
"You don't have to worry too much. There are not just one or two people who have had the same experience as you. At least so far, none of the unlucky ones protected by the evil seal have had problems. As long as you don't want to commit suicide, this thing will work. It can give you the greatest hope of survival."
"I don't know how long this seal can last..."
"Within ten years, there will definitely be no problems. After ten years, within twenty years, it will probably be fine. And after that..."
Gu Shanbu Shui, who shook his head slightly, said leisurely,
"For such a long time, you haven't used your own strength to tame the curse seal or even catch up to the next level. Don't step into too dangerous a situation on the road of ninja."
After all, it is also a "quasi-water shadow". Although the curse seal is magical, it is not to the point where everyone is helpless.
Isn't it the alienated magic chakra?
As long as you master the natural energy from the source, synthesize your own sage chakra, and even master the sage mode, things like the curse seal can be removed at any time.
Half an hour later, Terumi Mei regained some mobility. Under the leadership of the accompanying guards, Terumi Mei returned to the guest room to rest. She thanked Kosugi Fusui and prepared to return to Kirigakure Village the next day.
】
Whether Gu Shan Bu Shui had done anything in this "cooperation" will be carefully checked by the experts in the village after he returns.
After handing over the aftermath work to his subordinates, Gu Shanbu Shui also happily took a hot bath in his hot spring hotel. The crisp autumn weather was perfect for walking around.
If possible, it would be a good choice to travel to places such as the Country of Grass, the Country of Birds, and the Country of Taki.
"Unfortunately, the Gushan family's reputation restricts my ability to travel abroad."
Those small countries in the north are not all vassals of the Country of Fire. Not to mention the bastards of the Country of Grass, the Country of Taki has never given up its dream of being the sixth largest country. It has great ambitions but average strength. After receiving several blows, the leaders of two consecutive generations of Taki Ninja Village became much more honest;
The small southeastern countries such as the Country of Tea, the Country of Bears, and the Country of Vegetables are basically agents supported by various forces of the Fire Country. For example, Gushan Bushui supported a Hoshi Ninja Village.
The only ones who are truly independent are the warriors of the Kingdom of Iron. They always pretend to be unruly, but their bottom line is very flexible. They deal with several big countries and act like neutral mediators, but in fact they are just that. thing.
In the smoky hot springs, Gu Shanbu Shui drank some tea, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Unwilling to be left alone, the goddess Mao poked her head out. Only one person could see the shadow floating in the air, and asked condescendingly:
"Have you been too slack recently? The sense of urgency seems not as strong as two years ago..."
"The ninja world has now entered a stable period. As long as I don't take the initiative to look for trouble, it won't be a problem to live peacefully for three to five years."
"You would be so honest?"
"The trees want to be still but the wind doesn't stop."
Opening his eyes slightly and looking at the "goddess" with an indifferent attitude, Gu Shan Bu Shui changed the subject and said,
"Didn't you dislike talking to me at this time in the past? To be honest, I think that a high-level evolutionary pioneer like you should treat the natives of the ninja world like animals. How can you still feel shy? ? Just like when I see pigs, dogs, cows and sheep without clothes, I won’t feel embarrassed at all. And you..."
Gu Shan Bu Shui chuckled lightly,
"I even think that you will be deceived by a simple seduction. Not to mention being locked in a seal. It seems that you have never encountered the test of 'beautiful man trap' before."
"Are you humiliating me? How could the majestic 'Goddess of Mao' be deceived by such a little trick? It's just that no one has used such a boring method before..."
"Come on. It's not a shame to admit that you have little knowledge. I'm too lazy to expose your weaknesses..."
The young governor who spoke nonchalantly asked curiously,
"It stands to reason that the Otsutsuki clan has almost gotten rid of primitive sexual reproduction. The instincts engraved in genes during the evolution process should have been eradicated long ago. Why are you still not good at this field?"
Knowing that lying and deceiving would not help, the goddess of Mao was silent for a while, and then responded calmly:
"We have achieved individual immortality to a certain extent. In fact, we no longer need to reproduce offspring. It is not necessary for us. From the long history of biological evolution, no matter what method of reproduction, to put it bluntly, it is the same This kind of incomplete 'immortality' preserves part of its own core... in various ways, and can continue to pass it on after its own demise. In essence, it is the same as the Otsutsuki clan and the sacred tree. "
Although intelligent creatures have given various symbolic meanings to life forms, to put it bluntly, in fact, in order to survive as much as possible, no matter what method it is, even if it is in a mutilated way, or in a different form, life must be The spark continues to burn.
After hearing what the goddess Mao said, Gu Shanbu Shui thought about it for a long time and had to nod in agreement.
"I have to say that it makes some sense. Almost all life in the ninja world is actually an additional product of an organic matter that 'lived' to the present day from an unknown period of years ago."
The Otsutsuki clan and the sacred tree no longer rely entirely on genes, which are unreliable and uncontrollable at the material level. With the magical energy of chakra, they can "make a difference" at the soul level. "When the conditions are right, you can "build" a new one at any time, or even "produce" it in batches. Not only that, you can also make some "modifications". The future Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto will do well.
For sophisticated techniques such as Yin Yang Escape and Chakra Reincarnation, the threshold is too high, making the curse seal much easier.
"I even think that you Otsutsuki don't need to use the term 'family' to describe you. Just 'one' is enough. Why do you need so many 'kin'? Anyway, your path of evolution is to integrate all matter and energy. Become the undisputed and only true god, reach the extreme of evolution, and even go to the next level to explore more unknown mysteries in the void of the universe."
Only one Otsutsuki is enough for the supreme status. What's the use of having so many Otsutsuki who are called kin but are actually "competitors"?
"I have actually thought about this issue. I guess other tribesmen have also gone through this stage to some extent."
Otsutsuki Kaguya thought for a while and then replied,
"When I ate the fruit of the sacred tree, I still have an unforgettable feeling of omnipotence. However, Momo Huhu also touched the ceiling."
After a pause, Otsutsuki Kaguya continued to explain:
"There is a possibility that cannot be ignored, that is, the star sea plundering path established by our Otsutsuki clan may have reached its limit, so more 'tribes' are needed to 'explore the path' and explore further possibilities. sex."
Eating a fruit from the sacred tree will cause a qualitative change in the form of life.
Eat two fruits of the sacred tree to gain more power.
But, what use is this to the Otsutsuki clan?
A lion with sharp teeth and claws is enough to become the king of the grassland. Even if the claws are sharper and the eyes are better, it cannot change the status of the male lion. A lion running and hunting on the ground cannot become a griffon fluttering its wings.
The Otsutsuki clan has long been the king of the universe. At least in the currently explored dimensions, there are no creatures that can truly threaten the dominance of the Otsutsuki clan.
The only thing that can threaten the Otsutsuki tribe is another Otsutsuki.
Such consequences, which are almost harmful but not beneficial, make the Otsutsuki clan reproduce their offspring, increase the number of clan members, and add competitors to themselves, which is detrimental to themselves.
There is only one possibility, and that is...
"The way forward for the Otsutsuki clan is actually dead. Only at this time does it make sense to reproduce. There are so many Otsutsuki clan members traveling around the universe, encountering various changes, and trying a series of paths. As long as there are enough and the time is long enough, , among the nearly infinite samples, you can always find an opportunity that allows the 'King Carp' to cross the dragon gate, transform into a dragon, and completely enter a higher life form."
This kind of thinking is actually the same as that of poor farmers who are stuck on barren land. As long as they can feed themselves, they have to work hard to have children. Anyway, there is no chance for them. They can have more offspring, take a chance on genetic mutations, and have extraordinary intelligence. With outstanding ability, you will be able to change your family in the future and have the opportunity to shine on your family's lintel.
With so many Otsutsuki people wandering around in the vast universe, one of them must have an adventure.
"Whether it's the ants trapped in the ninja world or the Otsutsuki clan across the star sea, there is a huge gap in strength. The situation is actually not much different, it's just that the height they stand on is different."
Kaguya Otsutsuki thought about it carefully, and still felt that Fusugi Fusui's conjecture was closer to the truth.
"I don't remember if I told you that planting the sacred tree and harvesting the fruit from the sacred tree. As a guardian, I shouldn't eat it directly. Instead, I should send it back to my clan's base and let the elders refine it into Panacea, and give us a little bit of dregs..."
"So, you were very reluctant to hand over the fruits of the sacred tree that you had worked so hard to harvest, so you ate them yourself to make yourself stronger, and then with the help of this nearly thousand-year window of time, before the pursuers arrived, I tried my best to benefit myself, but I didn’t expect that I lost it?”
