my weird life

Chapter 429 Searching for You (12)

Yuse Mountain is so named because the top of the mountain is covered with solid ice all the year round, and when the sun shines on it, it reflects the smog and brilliance like beautiful jade, which is extremely magnificent.

There are many hot springs in the mountains, which used to be a good place for Gongqing to go home in winter.

Since people often soaked in the hot springs and disappeared without a trace, the hot springs in the mountains were gradually abandoned, and many pavilions and elegant houses built in the mountains have since withered, and Yuse Mountain has gradually been neglected.

An Yasheli built around hot springs.

The elegant house has been cleaned.

Water vapor floats on the hot spring pool.

In a two-story wooden building facing the hot spring, Su Wu sat in front of the open window.

Outside the window supported by wooden sticks, you can have a panoramic view of the distant mountains and jade colors.

However, at this time, he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery, and was holding a piece of silk cloth, carefully wiping and maintaining the Daigurren Taizo, and the other Supreme Sword held in his hand.

Swish!
After a while, he put down the silk cloth and held two knives in his hands. The two knives were staggered, and the cold light circulated continuously on the two knives.

Just between the two knives interlaced,

The seven lotus flowers on the big red lotus womb become more and more colorful,
The piercing sword light that flowed from the supreme sword flowed through the seven lotus flowers, making them larger in size, brighter in color, and more dangerous, and the sharpness had already overwhelmed the supreme sword.

Su Wu observed this scene,
this way,
He faintly discovered that with his own support, Daguren Taizo was absorbing some unknown power from the 'superior sword' created by An Gang.

Perhaps that is the original power of the killing stone.

Every time Daigakuren Taizang absorbs a point of power from the supreme sword, its quality will increase by one point,
The seven lotus flowers growing on the blade also swelled more and more.

to the opposite,

In this process, the quality of the supreme sword has not declined, but some core things have been lost too much. Its sharpness, hardness, flexibility and other indicators of various realistic levels are still "superior".

But it gave Su Wu a certain "feeling" that he was falling from the supreme.

——This is something that can only be felt by a swordsmith with extremely deep energy.

Even An Gang, who forged this sword by himself, just laments that this supreme sword has never met its real owner, so he has been sleeping forever, unable to wake up, glowing with the power of a true supreme sword,
But he didn't realize that the inner strength of this Taidao was slowly losing.

Su Wu never prevented Daguren Taizang from drawing power from the Supreme Sword,
Even take the initiative to create conditions for it.

Neither Genji nor Heira is worth relying on.

He has already decided to let the Inoue family start their own cooking, telling Haruko that the paper cranes that were used to crusade against Bizen Kingdom and raise more samurai have been sent out this morning. If that is the case, why did he give Genji an undamaged supreme sword?

Now the Inoue family is not strong,
It needs to be better with Genji on the surface, and it is empty and sloppy.

But entrusting the opponent with a strategic weapon such as the supreme sword is completely aiding the enemy.

If someone among Genji happens to be able to 'resuscitate' this supreme sword, it will be a great hidden danger for the Inoue family.

In order to prevent hidden dangers, Su Wu has been pushing Daguren Taizang to absorb the power of this "Masterless Sword" for the past few days. At that time, the supreme sword he entrusted to Genji will

It will only be a broken knife with some superior power left, and it may even only be used a few times!

Hearing the sound of footsteps stepping on the stairs behind him, Su Wu put away the two knives and put them aside.

Footsteps came upstairs and stopped at the stairs.

That person's voice sounded first: "Mr. Zhuzhao!"

Su Wu turned around and saw An Gang, with a smile on his face: "Mr. An Gang."

An Gang was holding a tray with an iron pot and two wine cups on it.

He took the tray and sat down in front of Su Wu,
Glancing at the 'superior sword' he created, his eyes were a bit complicated. This sword can be said to be his highest achievement today, but it has brought him a great disaster.

Although he did not die at the hand of Rashomon's deceit,

But after going to Kyoto,
What will An Gang experience in Yuanjia?
It is still unknown.

Maybe they will be imprisoned in the secret stronghold of the Yuan family forever, forging high-grade swords for them day and night!
Now An Gang's mentality is completely drunk today, and he doesn't think about tomorrow's affairs at all.

His gaze stayed on the sword he had forged for a moment, then he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that I haven't met the Lord of Ming, so I can't show my edge..."

This sentence seems to be lamenting the sleeping supreme sword,

It also seems to be sad about his own fate.

An Gang filled the wine cup with wine, handed it to Su Wu, and said with a grin: "This is the best 'Yulu wine', Mr. Yuan Laichao specially prepared it for Mr. Zhuzhao. Follow Zhuzhao Jun to dip into the light,

Mr. Zhuzhao won't mind, will he? "

You have already boiled the wine, so what if I mind?
Su Wu smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface he shook his head: "I would also like to thank Mr. An Gang for warming the wine for me. The weather is so cold, and being able to drink a cup of hot wine is really a great blessing in life."

At present, An Gang seems to be casual and relaxed, ignoring everything.

Just like a frightened bird, if someone else's expression is wrong, it will make him fearful for several days.

So those jokes, Su Wu hid them in his heart and did not say them out.

In order to prevent friends from feeling overwhelmed and worried about it.

An Gang smiled and toasted with Su Wu's wine glass,
The two drank a glass of hot wine each.

Putting down the cup, while An Gang was pouring wine for himself, Su Wu said: "The Heike family occupies the Omi Road, which is more convenient to Kyoto, and patrols the area. We want to go to the Omi River, but it is impossible to go to Kyoto.

So I deliberately changed the road and went straight through Yuse Mountain.

Thanks to our extremely fast pace in the previous two days, we completed the distance that most teams would take three to five days to complete in two days.
Therefore, you can take a short rest in Yuse Mountain at the moment.

——Taking advantage of this rare free time, An Gang-kun, after breakfast later, why don't we go together and take the samurai from Inoue's family for a walk in this mountain? "

An Gang looked hesitant when he heard the words: "After all, we are going to transport the knife to Kyoto, this matter is quite urgent for Genji,

If we linger in the jade-colored mountains,

Will Minamoto Raitomo be dissatisfied?

and,

I heard that Yuse Mountain is quite strange, and there may be ghosts hiding in it. "

After experiencing the "rashomon fierce attack", An Gang has a feeling of "being bitten by a snake once, but afraid of well ropes for ten years". He is careful to observe any area involving ghost rumors.

"The knife is in my hand, so what if Minamoto is not satisfied?" Su Wu shook his head,
He didn't care about Minamoto's attitude.

He glanced at An Gang, and then said: "As for the so-called rumors about the Jade Mountain—the rumors are more credible than non-existent. However, with me here this time, what is Mr. An Gang afraid of?" ?
I also heard that

A world-renowned knife maker once lived in seclusion in Yuse Mountain.
He is hiding all his knife-making experience in the mountains.

Don't Mr. An Gang want to find the secret treasure of wisdom that the swordsmith lived his whole life? "

"Knife casting only has one heart and one mind, a solid basic technique,

In repeated exercises, he gradually realized his ability and inability to face a piece of steel, and then his skills could enter the room.

The so-called hidden wisdom of the knife maker,

Obviously it's just a hoax.

Who told Mr. Zhuzhao such a rumor?
He must be talking nonsense. "An Gang's attitude towards casting knives is particularly serious. After hearing what Su Wu said, he immediately pointed out the inappropriateness of Su Wu's words.

Su Wu shook his head and smiled, "Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, Mr. An Gang, you should follow me to have a look!
What if we can have unexpected gains? "

An Gang smiled wryly and nodded: "Your invitation is so gracious, how can I not follow?"

After agreeing on this matter, Su Wu immediately ordered the warriors of Inoue's family to prepare breakfast.

He sat around and had breakfast with all the warriors and An Gang,
The messenger greeted Minamoto Yoritomo,

He left the temporary residence directly, and took An Gang and all the warriors to "tour the mountains and rivers".

Although Minamoto Yoshitomo didn't like Su Wu's actions, and felt that it would waste a lot of time, but the current situation is stronger than others, Su Wu did not do anything excessive after all, he could only suppress his dislike, He responded with a smile.

He took two armored warriors and guarded the temporary settlement.

Su Wu led a group of people wandering around the Jade Mountain, but did not encounter any strange things.

When it was close to noon, the team had already deviated quite far from the temporary settlement.

The people camped in a clearing,

I ate some dry food and dried fish that I carried with me.

During lunch, An Gang drank some 'Yulu wine' at the invitation of Su Wu.

The host and the guest enjoyed themselves, so he inevitably drank a little more,
After lunch, I feel a little smoky.

After dinner, Su Wu went to see the mountain scenery with him, leaving the warriors of Inoue's family waiting in place, and went deep into a winding path in the mountains, after passing through a dense forest,
The scene in front of me suddenly opened up,
A cliff towered over the horizon.

Under the mirror-like smooth cliff, stands a big tree that has grown for at least hundreds of years.

The canopy is like a mountain,

Branches cling to rocks, exposed to the air.

On the roots and branches of the giant tree, there seemed to be faintly shining purple lines.

The slightly drunk An Gang didn't notice those shining lines, he noticed something else: "This giant tree actually grows in the rock, as if it is integrated with the rock!"

"is it?"

Su Wu's eyes sparkled,

Approaching the giant tree with An Gang,
Sure enough, it was discovered that the roots of the giant tree entangled the boulders one by one, and some roots even penetrated some hard stones and took root in the stone wall again!

"The supernatural power of the natural gods is really awe-inspiring..." An Gang muttered to himself, constantly feeling emotional.

Behind him, Su Wu approached the giant tree.

With his back turned to An Gang, he took out the 'Dashang Baby Stone', and saw that there were patterns on this top-grade ore flashing like a giant tree.

Holding this piece of ore, Su Wu easily felt where it should be placed - under the twisted roots of the trees, there was a rectangular stone hole like a shrine, which could just accommodate this piece of ore to be filled in.

He stuffed the 'Dashang Baby Stone' into the cave where the roots of the giant tree cling,
I heard a rustling sound,

Like many people talking,

There was a loud sound of knocking on stones.

It also seems that there are monks chanting scriptures,
The heavy sound was actually the sound of monks beating wooden fish.

Many mixed voices dissipated in an instant,
The giant tree in front of me has not changed in any way,

But Su Wu noticed that some of the branches of the giant tree that used to block the mountain wall were clinging to huge boulders, and they moved silently, revealing a dark cave entrance.

"An Gang-jun, there is a cave here.

Let's go and see! "Su Wu turned around and waved to An Gang.

An Gang was stunned: "Is there a cave? Why didn't I see it just now?"

While talking, An Gang came up behind Su Wu,
Sure enough, I saw a dark cave in which everything was unknown.

He followed Su Wu confusedly into the dark cave.

"Mum murmur murmur—"

The roots of the giant tree uttered illusory ravings again,

Dragging big stones,
Cover the entrance of the cave.

The four walls of the stone cave, which resembled a shrine, gave birth to scarlet flesh and blood, which squirmed and wrapped the whole body of the 'Dashang Yingshi', making it look like a Buddha in cassock in the shrine.
