Yao tide, three moments.
Sawara field.
Huang Donglai, who was carrying Nishikiyo on his back and carrying luggage in his hands, was walking on the country road with Keijiro.
After Huang Donglai's previous treatment, Keijiro's wounds were basically no longer serious. In addition, Keijiro had already taken back the Vermillion Spear, which could be used as a crutch, so he could still walk normally.
As for Huang Donglai... As the saying goes, those who can do more work, anyway, for people with deep internal strength, just walking with a heavy load is not a big deal.
So where are these three people going now?
The destination has already been decided - Sawara Castle, the treasure storehouse.
Yes, it was the place where Sun Yixie originally wanted to find before the tsunami occurred, where the Zuo Yuan family stored their valuables.
However, Huang Donglai and the others were not looking for the Xuan Long Bi like Brother Sun did at that time, but were looking for something else...
After all, Huang Donglai is a time traveler with a vision and imagination that transcends this era, so he based on the information Keijiro had, the scroll delivered by "another Nishikiyo", and combined with some situations dictated by the Nishikichiyo in front of him... It was almost completed I guessed that the anomaly here is a kind of space-time chaos.
More importantly, after hearing about the origin of "gods", or "fallen people", Huang Donglai immediately understood that this thing was not a ghost at all, but an alien creature.
Of course, this does not mean that it is easier to deal with than ghosts and gods... It just means that the idea of targeting it can be more clear.
Seeing this, someone may ask again, who is this Nishikichiyo? Why does he know so much?
We have to talk about this carefully...
Let's talk about the Wenzhi period, which was three to four hundred years ago. At this time, more than a century had passed since the "First Sacrifice".
It happened that there was also a war in this era, and a quite powerful force was eyeing Sawuan and wanted to annex it.
The war started in the spring of a certain year and lasted until the autumn.
The then head of the Sahara family, Anji Sahara, already knew in the spring that this battle could not be won, so in despair he thought of going to the "gods" to make a deal, and according to the requirements of the "gods", he sent people away Sneak out by sea to collect treasures.
In autumn, the people he sent out came back with a batch of rare treasures, and he selected the most valuable "Tiancongyun Sword Fragments" from them and presented them. We all know the consequences of this transaction, which triggered the Sawara's first love affair.
Before this incident, there was actually an episode.
The transaction that offered the "Tiancong Yun Sword Fragments" took place in the second year of a certain sacrificial year.
In the previous year, which was the year of sacrifice, a young man sneaked into the Sahara family's mansion, tried to touch the sacrifice, and persuaded him to escape.
And this young man who slipped in was Nishiki Chiyo.
It seems that many judges have been vaguely aware of Nishikiyo's identity. We have mentioned it in the previous article - in the past hundreds of years of sacrifices, there was once a sacrifice that secretly left an heir. When this child grew up, he received it from his mother. After learning what happened to his father, he wanted to take revenge by destroying the sacrifice.
Yes, Nishikiyo is this child. He was thirteen years old that year. His mother died of illness at the beginning of the year and told him the truth about his life experience before she died, so he acted like this.
So what was Nishikiyo's situation before he learned the truth?
In fact, his childhood was pretty good... Nishikichiyo's mother used to be a maid working in Sawara City. After unexpectedly having a child with her ex-sacrifice, Sawara Anji did not kill her, but just put her under house arrest. .
Even though Nishikiyo's father later passed away, Sahara Anji still allowed them to live in a house in Sawara City without worrying about food and clothing for more than ten years. He even allowed Nishikichiyo to move around some areas of the city, including going to nearby restaurants. Learn to read and write in the school.
Of course, this is also conditional. Nishikiyo's mother agreed to "never tell this child his origins" in exchange for such a life.
If she really took this secret to the grave, then perhaps Nishikichiyo's fate would be very different. As an adult, Nishikichiyo would probably be accepted as a family general or even an adopted son by the Sahara clan who killed their fathers, and would be given a son. He took his formal name (Nishikichiyo is a "child's name") and lived a good life from then on.
But Nishikiyo's mother had real feelings for the previous generation of sacrifices, and she also felt that it was unfair to lie to her children for a lifetime, so before she died, she finally told Nishikiyo the truth and let the children decide their own future. How to do.
As for Nishiki Chiyo... maybe it was because he read the book of sages early. Although he was only thirteen years old at the time, he was a man with a clear sense of right and wrong and a strong personality; he did not give up just because the Sahara clan supported their mother and son. Hateful, and taking action immediately without even waiting.
It can also be seen here that this is still a child after all. If he were older and more mature, he might be able to "persuad himself" and "persuade himself", even if he still can't let go of revenge. I will hold back for a few more years and wait until I have full wings or successfully penetrate the enemy before I take action. That will obviously achieve better results.
Of course, when that time comes, it's hard to say whether he can persist in his idea of revenge, or whether he will change from "temporarily convincing himself" to "permanently convincing himself".
Our life is such a process of constant self-compromise, struggling in the whirlpool of "emotion" and "reason". As time goes by, we slowly lose our courage and edge, until one day, we no longer even dwell on what we have lost. everything.
In the end, we will describe every miss, every regret, every compromise in life... as a growth experience, a parting with no need to regret, a precious wealth, and then settle for the status quo and change. Become an old and peaceful soul.
Nishikichiyo did not embark on such a path, but he did not know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
His "act of revenge" was discovered. Although he successfully met the "sacrifice" of the generation after his father - a young man about his own age and started lobbying, he was soon discovered by the guards. and captured.
This time, even if Anji Sahara wanted to let him go, the other elders in the family would not agree.
As a result, Nishikichiyo was sent to a secret prison outside Sawara Castle, which was the Buddhist temple in the previous chapters.
The cell hidden in the secret passage under the Buddhist temple is very small and is not usually used. Nishikichiyo was imprisoned there for less than a year because of factors such as lack of sunlight, water and food, and inability to exercise. Be extremely weak.
This is why, when Misaku Sahara received the order to escort him back to the city, he had difficulty even walking.
