Gu Mo's mind was a little confused. Perhaps it was because he strengthened his spirit yesterday and increased this attribute by two points. Although a somewhat lengthy "record" suddenly appeared in his mind, his brain still quickly accepted it. and finished processing this information.
It may also be because he has some grasp and understanding of the message Saito Douzan wants to convey. Although the old man is reminiscing about the past, the message he conveyed with his guardian spirit is nothing more than what he once did. past——
As the leader of a demon hunter in a ghost-hunting village called Chu Yeya, he fell into confusion while hunting demons year after year. He felt that this kind of repetitive mechanical labor was meaningless because he couldn't kill all the demons. , the root cause of the large number of wild souls lies in human beings themselves, in this troubled world where neither humans nor ghosts can find peace...
In his confusion, he met a banshee named Shen Fangye, and the two came together because of their common ideals. They were determined to end this world that was wrong from the beginning, hoping that human beings would no longer suffer from war, and that ghosts would Rest in peace forever...
After that, after Shen Yoshino gave birth to twins, he left because of some concerns and took a daughter with him. He also changed his general plan of action. He changed his job from a demon hunter to a Sengoku daimyo. He did not change careers just to participate in power. The competition is to master more power to eliminate the spiritual stones in the world and create a peaceful world...
——Guardian spirits are indeed a very useful method for transmitting information. Communication between normal people is limited to the expression and reception abilities of both parties. However, this method of using "divine consciousness" to transmit thoughts has unimaginable capabilities. speed and efficiency.
Gu Mo's feeling was like watching a movie that lasted for several hours at this moment. Although the shooting techniques and editing of this movie were very poor, it could be said that it was all emotions and no skills at all, but it was It is enough to explain everything Saito Douzan wants to express.
Regarding this person’s past, his confusion, his subsequent enlightenment, and his determination to practice it, all these are very profound and understandable...
Because the information conveyed by the guardian spirit contains the most real feelings and thoughts of the person concerned about each memory.
Not only can you see images and hear sounds, you can also actually feel the "emotions" of the parties involved, so you can understand all the content that this "movie" wants to express without any obstacles, and there is almost no difficulty in understanding. There will be deviations.
After the brief dizziness, Gu Mo's thoughts returned to reality, but he was still in a daze.
Because this development was something he had not expected. He had heard Saito Douzan say many times that he would do his best to help him, but he never thought it would be so generous. After all, according to common sense, giving yourself a city to take care of is already an extremely generous and free expression.
How could any other famous person be willing to give such treatment to a stranger, let alone having a daughter, even if the other person was his brother, he would still have to be wary.
It can only be said that Saito Douzan is indeed very human. Just like in history, even Oda Nobunaga, who was once hostile, was able to send Mino out after getting his approval. Because he has no nostalgia for power and status at all, and he doesn’t have much obsession with Meinong, which he works hard to run. All of this has never been the purpose he pursues, but is just a means for him to achieve what he pursues...
——This free and easy hero clearly distinguishes the difference between purpose and means. He does not regard the process as the result, and gradually becomes obsessed with power and loses himself in the pursuit of his ideals.
Therefore, Gu Mo now found that he still underestimated this viper. The decision made by the other party shocked him so much that he could not recover for a long time. After finally figuring out the whole thing, he felt that he was completely confused. It's so bad, I almost jumped.
His head shook rapidly, like a rattle, and his first reaction was to refuse——
"No, no, I can't do this..."
"..."
"..."
"Huh? What did you say——!!"
Saito Douzan's voice suddenly increased by many decibels. He was already full of energy and didn't look aged at all. Now he was even louder than thunder. He frowned, his eyes full of anger, what did this kid just say?
I have made no other requests, just asking him to treat Axiu well, but he actually answered "no"? "Can't do it"?
It's a matter of course, the anger value is instantly +1000!
Saito Douzan's eyes almost burst out with flames, as if he was going to scorch the abominable guy in front of him with his substantive sight!
"Uh, no, that's not what I meant..."
Gu Mo couldn't help but lean back, subconsciously trying to distance himself from the other party. The aura on the other side that seemed to want to eat people was really scary... If you have anything to talk about, just sit down and discuss it. Why are you yelling so loudly?
"Then what do you mean?!" Saito Dōsan was still glaring angrily and clenching his fists.
"..."
"..."
Gu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the Hidechiyo sisters. He couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly came to support from the sidelines!
…………
In response to someone's call for help, Saito Yoshiryu tilted his head slightly, and after sizing him up, he looked back, still looking indifferent, as if he had no intention of lending a helping hand.
But she also glanced slightly sideways, glancing at another black-haired girl who was like her own mirror image next to her, her long-lost sister.
She didn't care about what her father just said, because it was indeed the truth. She had the opportunity to become the new head of Meinong, but she chose to give up in the end.
Different from the suspicion and antagonism in real history, before Hidechiyo returned and appeared, Saito Douzan was still very concerned about her, the only bloodline left by his true love... Before making the decision to cede the country, in fact They will consult her opinions very seriously. After all, this family property should originally belong to her.
It was the same when she was inspecting the person from Owari, and it was the same now when she made the decision to choose this person. It was all the result of her nodding her approval and expressing that she had no objections or objections.
Saito Yoshiryu has not changed his mind now, but is simply curious about what his long-lost sister will do, how they met each other, and what kind of story it is... Of course, besides curiosity There are also subtle psychological factors.
Because the twins are so similar to each other, they are almost like facing each other in the mirror. They always feel that the person opposite is not another person, but their own mirror image, so it is inevitable that such a situation will occur. Condition--
It's like seeing yourself in the mirror, about to get together with a stranger...
This kind of weird psychology is difficult to avoid. Her sense of disobedience is so strong that even though she is calm and calm on the outside, she is still unconsciously concerned in her heart.
However……
Hidechiyo just blinked, not knowing what to do. Even if she met someone's eyes for help, she just hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did nothing. After all, she couldn't speak, and she also felt that she It's hard to say anything about this kind of thing.
If the younger sister is careless and has no ideas, then the same is true for her older sister, or there is another reason, that is... she doesn't have much sense of reality yet.
After all, it is only a short time for a family to reunite and for father and daughter to recognize each other. Hidechiyo has not been able to integrate into the new family environment so quickly. He still feels unaccustomed to Saito Douzan's enthusiasm. How can he take it for granted? He immediately regarded Meinong as his own.
Therefore, the girl has no real feelings at all. Even if her father donates the family property to this man, she has no objection. Anyway, her sister who has always been by her father's side has no objection. What can she have to say... As for her father's words to let this man take good care of herself and Yi Hidechiyo also thinks the dragon thing is normal.
Neither he nor his sister had the idea of inheriting the family business. The father, who was already old and less energetic than before, could only entrust it to others. At the same time, he also hoped that that person would take this into account and take more care of his daughter in the future. kind of thing——
Even Hidechiyo, who didn't understand many worldly things, felt that there was no problem at all and it was just a common thing.
So calm, you really have made up your mind a long time ago...
Seeing his sister's calm and unconcerned look, Saito Yoshiryu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When faced with this kind of thing, she didn't behave like a child at all. She felt quite like Saito returning to the butterfly. It was the same when the half-sister got married a few years ago. Shy look.
A little aware of the sight coming from around him, Hidechiyo also tilted his head and looked at his strange yet familiar sister strangely. He didn't know why she looked at him like that.
Saito Yoshiryu shook his head slightly, withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
…………
Back to the other side——
Seeing the silent interaction between the two identical sisters, Gu Mo couldn't help but twitch his lips, why are you just watching.
It was okay for Saito Yoshiryu to ignore him, and they were indeed not familiar with each other, but why did even Axiu accept it with such a calm face... Wait, wait! Could it be that Axiu actually didn’t know what the old man’s last words meant?
Such a thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Mo suddenly felt that he had grasped the key, and then felt a toothache again.
The girl herself probably has never thought about this at all. She is indeed very smart, but she is not familiar with the interactions between people. She does not have so many complicated thoughts. She only understands the superficial meaning of many things and only knows the meaning of them. Take it literally...
However, Saito Douzan ignored this and preconceivedly thought that this was the case. When talking about the current matter, perhaps Hidechiyo did not really understand what he meant, so his reaction was noticed by the old man. Guilt, in turn, became a manifestation of his belief that this was the case...
Gu Mo, who had sorted it out a little bit, felt something was not good. Everything was like a messy ball of threads, everyone was in it, and only he could see the threads.
However, there is no way to explain——
Because the reason why this ball of thread became so messy was because he wanted to hug Axiu’s lap and have a relationship with her... Although Axiu realized the truth, she finally chose to believe him, and It has never been revealed, so it ended up like this due to a combination of circumstances.
Only two people knew the truth, but neither of them told it. Instead, the wildly fabricated statement became a "fact" recognized by others.
"Hey! Boy, look at me!"
The knuckles of his index fingers tapped on the mat impatiently. Saito Douzan was still glaring at the hateful young man in front of him——
"Are you asleep? Don't think you can get away with this! Don't look over there, Axiu obviously believes in you, but you kid is still so... so... Huh!"
He glanced at the side and found that his precious daughter indeed had an indifferent face, as if she had immediately accepted the matter that he had made up his mind to announce. He couldn't help but feel sad for no reason. He regarded her as the apple of his eye. Care, but he is going to be kidnapped today...and this kid is so irresponsible!
"I……"
Gu Mo found that in the past twenty years of his life, he could not find a sentence to respond to the current sentence.
"What's wrong with you! Tell me!" Viper said angrily. At this moment, he didn't look like a famous figure from the Warring States Period, but more like a father-in-law who stood up for his daughter.
How to explain it, there's no way to explain it... Gu Mo looked at the huge white snake surrounding him, thought about the image, sound, color and thoughts and feelings that had just appeared in his mind, and then took a peek ahead. Saito Douzan's eyes almost burst into flames.
The guardian spirit has been given to me...
The ideals and beliefs to implement life are also entrusted to myself...
There is also a daughter whom I regard as the apple of my eye. She has worked hard for half her life to build the family business. Maybe the state certificate has already been written...
This viper thought so much before making up its mind. After making up its mind, it did so many things, and it was only today that it was released. If at this time, I explain to him that everything is a misunderstanding, in fact, I have no special relationship with Axiu, and what he thinks is actually his own nonsense...
Will he die? He will definitely die!
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Gu Mogan laughed a few times: "I mean, I don't... no, it's no, no problem!"
"Hmph! That's good!" Saito Dosan snorted angrily, "I have seen your management of Lushan City. You are still very talented. You can renovate a city in less than a month. It is so well-organized that even Mitsuhide... He is said to be far inferior to you, but governing a country is no better than governing a city..."
As his status changed, he naturally acted like his father-in-law, and perhaps with a malicious revenge mentality, he began to lecture Gu Mo arrogantly.
The latter could only nod his head, feeling tormented, not focusing on this aspect at all, and did not listen to the elders' life experience at all.
…
…
After a while.
Walking in the corridor, Gu Mo staggered like a zombie, his eyes a little dull.
Finally freed... He didn't even know how he got out, and he didn't hear what he said next. The old guy seemed to really have a problem with himself, and was even more unhappy about the matter than himself. After it was finalized, he never mentioned it again. One word, but he immediately put on a posture to lecture him.
Like an old child, he must find his way back out when he is unhappy.
What could Gu Mo say, he could only keep echoing, no matter whether he listened or understood, it was only now that he finally got relief.
The two girls behind him also walked together in the corridor, looking at him strangely as he staggered.
After a while, Gu Mo slowly came back to his senses when he heard the crisp and light footsteps behind him. His face changed slightly. He just agreed that it was a temporary solution. Now he must talk to Axiu and discuss how to deal with this trouble. things.
Or take advantage of the fact that everything hasn’t been announced yet and make a time lag?
While she still had some time, she ran away with the bucket, and then Axiu found the right opportunity to stop Saitou Dosan from explaining the matter before he announced it to the world. In that case, her reputation would not be damaged, and he would not have to. Facing the wrath of an insane father-in-law?
With his mind in a mess, Gu Mo stood still, took a deep breath, and then turned around:
"Axiu..."
Glancing at the two black-haired girls behind him, he blinked distractedly and glanced over their heads. Then he reached out and took the girl's wrist, and gave Saito Yoshiryu an apologetic smile: "Sorry, Miss Saito, I have something to say to Axiu, please forgive me——"
After hastily saying this, he took the girl and left quickly without looking back.
Eh?
The black-haired girl who stayed on the spot nodded subconsciously, and then opened her mouth in shock. Didn't she say that she wanted to talk to herself? How...
She was stunned for a moment when she saw the girl who looked like another one of her being pulled away, and then immediately calmed down her expression. Now when she was being pulled away, she turned back to give her a sly and funny look. All of this was so natural that I subconsciously had an illusion.
After being stunned for a moment, the black-haired girl realized what she was doing and quickly followed him.
