"Traveling through time and space, is this again..."
Saito Dozo murmured softly to himself, as if he didn't quite believe it.
"I hope that's true..."
"Master Daosan..." Minamoto Yoshitsune sighed slightly. He could keenly notice that this old man seemed to be more senile than before. The feeling of aging was fully reflected in him, and he was not as heroic as before. Instead of a domineering aura, there is a sense of decadence, as if he has fallen into a rare state of decline and confusion.
"well--"
Saito Douzan didn't speak, he just looked at the deserted villages around him and let out a long sigh.
The old man's left shoulder was wrapped tightly with a white bandage, but there was still bright red blood oozing out from under the snow-white gauze. Similarly, his left arm was also tightly wrapped in bandages and hung from his neck, temporarily unable to exert any strength.
This kind of injury was the reason why he was trembling when he walked, and even needed support from Yoshitsune beside him just now. It was really too heavy.
Even for a young, strong, and physically strong young man, this injury was considered to be a serious injury. He almost had his chest broken open and his heart, lungs, internal organs, etc. were violently taken out... ...For this reason, he rested in other village bases in the mountains for several days before he was able to walk in the ground.
Until now, I strongly asked Yoshitsune to take me back here.
However, what really hit the old man was not his physical injuries, but the miserable scenery of the deserted village in front of him, which dealt a heavy blow to his spirit.
When he was recuperating in an abandoned stronghold in the mountains, Saito Douzan actually basically expected what would happen. The area around Kanazaki is a rugged terrain of dense forests and towering mountains. The village of Chuye Yazu is located here. Except for In addition to the deepest base camp, there are many strongholds in the mountains.
They were single rooms or houses in groups of three or two at most, built in various places in the mountains. They were guarded by dangers and were responsible for keeping watch... But the strongholds he saw only had dilapidated houses, and there were even demons and ghosts entrenched there. There was already an ominous premonition at that time.
After finally arriving at the real Chuyeye Village, he saw the ruins of the village.
Everything has long been dilapidated and desolate, and there is even evil spirit mixed in it.
The old flags drooped, no longer as clean as new, but shredded into strips of cloth. The low night wind seemed to be crying, telling the past history of this dilapidated and lifeless village. ... Every house, every building, every road here is so familiar to Saito Douzan.
It can be said that I am haunted by my dreams, and I have often returned to this place in my dreams over the years.
——It’s like turning back into a child, running carefree through the streets of the village, curiously climbing up the watchtower to look at the valley in the mountains, provoking the adults’ angry scoldings, accompanied by the laughter of the friends...
——It's like returning to his youth, wearing a light armor made of monster fur and teeth, holding a Chuha Yamaru, and giving orders with high spirits. Every time he uttered a word, the crowd would respond with arms and cheers...
These memories turned into various images, constantly dancing in front of Saito Douzan's eyes. Finally, thousands of words converged into a long sigh, and the old man closed his eyes tiredly and painfully. eyes, feeling that his heart was shaken.
I haven't been back for a long time, but when I came back, I found that there was only a deserted village left here.
Things have changed, people have gone, buildings are empty, and everything that was once familiar is gone.
What did I do in the first place? If I had not decided that way and had not left at that time, wouldn't things have happened in the village? Saito Douzan had mixed feelings in his heart, and a rare emotion of regret gnawed at his heart like an insect.
He felt that it was because of his original decision and leaving that the village suffered disaster.
This is all because of myself! !
No matter who he is, there is always a soft spot deep in his heart. Don't look at the old man who started to clean up his family not long ago, killing melons and vegetables without mercy. That's because he doesn't feel at all about those who are holding him back. Legs, what kind of companion is a guy who even wants to rebel, let alone the love of family.
But this village is different. It holds his childhood memories and is also the place where he was born and raised. Therefore, at this moment, Saito Douzan, a vicious viper, could not help but fall into a rare feeling of confusion and self-doubt. In the middle, after coming back to his senses, he also smiled bitterly and laughed at himself.
I am indeed getting old, and I have become somewhat weaker.
"..."
"..."
He walked tremblingly on the deserted streets and looked around at the scenery.
Minamoto Yoshitsune was silent, supporting the shaken old man and walking forward slowly.
On the street not far ahead, in the dim environment, there seemed to be the shadow of some monster passing by, watching the two men with malicious intent.
"roll!"
Minamoto Yoshitsune looked over coldly as he spat out a rich and powerful voice. His cold eyes swept away with a terrifying demonic aura and coercion, making Xiao Xiao in the darkness startled. , I didn’t expect that the person who just now thought to be a weak prey suddenly turned into a terrifying monster.
Suddenly, he was so frightened that he was so cold that he turned around and ran away. The rustling sound quickly faded away until it disappeared into the darkness.
"It makes Master Daosan laugh. These little goblins and monsters have never harmed anyone, but they are somewhat uneducated..." Minamoto Yoshitsune withdrew his gaze and said with a calm smile, "It's just that the world in this era has not yet been controlled by adults. The peaceful and prosperous age of unification and coexistence of humans and monsters has not yet arrived..."
Saito Douzan was silent.
After a moment, the old man suddenly stopped. He looked at this heroic and young-looking warrior and asked, seemingly extremely tired:
"Your Excellency Yoshitsune, is what you said true? It's actually hard for me to believe it..."
"Of course this is true, Master Dao San. It is even a new world that is more complete than you can imagine." Minamoto Yoshitsune said decisively. "And it doesn't take too long. In this era, you can see the prototype of a prosperous age."
He stared at the old man in front of him, and he probably understood the other person's concerns and suspicions. After all, even he sometimes felt like he was dreaming.
But all of this is indeed true, even if we don't talk about the glorious era five hundred years later, such as the Great Wall of Stars and the City Around the Moon, those magnificent world-class buildings that made him sigh with emotion now. Engineering to prove the prosperity of human nature.
In the second half of this era alone, we should be able to see dramatic and dramatic changes.
That will be a wave that sweeps the entire world and promotes changes in the times——
Collecting guardian spirits from all over the world and creating the "True Spirit Position and Industry Map" modified from Taoist prototypes is the cornerstone of peace...
The strict management and use of spiritual stone resources has launched a huge transformation in the fields of occultism and industry, bursting out cross-era results...
Through the Mysterious Side Registration Act and Fantasy Species Management Regulations, alchemists, onmyojis, alchemists, and even ghosts or monsters and other alien species no longer appear special, but are truly integrated into the margins of development...
It is only in this era, on the eve of the turn of the century, that we can see the emergence of epoch-making technologies or applications such as Lingshi batteries, cloud cities, and sky rail trains. Since then, with the vast eastern country as the center, we have established The incomparably amazing air and space transportation system has established East Asian hegemony that transcends the times.
Then……
In this era of geographical discovery and colonialism, the great Eastern Empire, which was once a super monster, did not decline. Instead, it became an even more overwhelming behemoth, laying the groundwork for a future rule that would bring the entire planet into its territory. Obvious foreshadowing.
Everything was so natural, and Minamoto Yoshitsune felt proud of it.
Being born in the Heian Era, he felt that it was the highly respected sect master Kamigoku and the Eastern Celestial Dynasty. Naturally, everything fell into place. This was the best outcome.
"This this……"
Listening to this majestic man's talk, Saito Douzan's expression became more and more exciting. From doubt and fatigue, to doubt or disbelief, he finally became more and more excited, his face was rosy, and he felt that he was in a trance from the opposite side. The careful depiction reveals an unimaginably prosperous world.
Especially what the other party said about having a nose and eyes, it was like a personal experience with detailed details. If it was made up randomly, I'm afraid it would not reach this level.
And there are many statements that coincide with what the hateful brat said to me not long ago, so...
Could that bastard actually be serious at that time? !
…………
…
Deep in the mountains and old forests.
The fierce wind of demonic energy blew around, making people's perception seem to be disordered. The shrill screams were extremely high in decibels and extremely penetrating, as if they were trying to penetrate gold and stone.
It seemed that strong winds were blowing in some areas, and the trees were swaying and rustling. In the dark world, you couldn't see your fingers, only the sound of huge flapping wings lingered back and forth in the sky at an extremely fast speed. Three huge eyes can be vaguely seen.
A blood-red color, with ferocious eyes staring closely at the person below.
"Get down here!"
Gu Mo's somewhat impatient voice sounded in the darkness.
The bow was as startled as a thunderbolt, and the sound of whistling through the sky sounded. The monster owl that had suffered before suddenly became excited, and suddenly flapped its huge wings, setting off violent and terrifying turbulence, and suddenly raised its height, thinking Avoid the arrows that fly like lightning in the darkness.
But even though its movements were extremely fast, it hit the incoming attack just in time.
A huge blood-red eye dimmed instantly, and went out like a lightbulb bursting. Along with a rain of hot blood and a shrill and painful scream, the huge strange bird fell headlong! !
The dark realm suddenly dissipated, and the moonlight fell down——
Accompanied by a crackling sound, the three of them saw that the woods in front of them were torn apart like building blocks, and a wide gap was plowed out. The owl monster as huge as an entire house crashed into it, breaking countless trees along the way. trees.
As if it had been severely injured and in severe pain, it flopped on the ground several times before it managed to stand up again, its body seemed to be twitching and spasming.
But at the next moment, a light figure appeared in the sky like a flying swallow...
