The White-haired Sword Master's Path to Immortality

The head was dizzy and the body was weak. There was lightning and thunder in a channel like a phantom light. It tore the void and left deep wounds on Ashina Kazuhime's body.

But immediately the exposed wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, as Ashina Kazuhime's wound healed, her age was aging at a leaping speed.

The power of Ryūin is to consume vitality to restore one's own injuries. Obviously, the vitality taken from Kuro and Sekiro does not have much surplus. After healing Ashina Kazuhime's injuries several times, it begins to consume her and be replenished. And the vitality returned.

Just like this, when Kazuhime Ashina's vitality was about to run out of old age and die, the seemingly broken system in her body seemed to be aware of the crisis.

Click!

As the gear-shaped icon in the upper left corner disappeared, an illusory passage suddenly opened in front of him.

Ashina Kazuhime's body fell from high in the sky

Lifting up the last sword energy in his body, he swept downwards suddenly, finally easing the impact of the landing the moment he landed on the ground, but it also consumed Kazuhime Ashina's last strength.

Huge pain and dizziness hit her whole body, and Kazuhime Ashina finally couldn't resist and fainted.

When she woke up, she was already in a hut.

The interior of the house was extremely simple, and there were even no lights. Fortunately, Kazuhime Ashina, an unusual person, could still see the decorations in the house in the dark.

There was a straw bed, a simple cooking stove, an oil lamp on a table, and nothing else.

"cough cough"

The movement just now seemed to tear open a wound that had not yet healed, causing Kazuhime to cough uncontrollably.

It was obvious that all the remaining vitality in her body had been consumed, and she could no longer heal herself like Wolverine.

As if hearing Ashina Kazuhime's cough, the dark shadow outside the door lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Swordsman-sama, you are seriously injured, so please don't move."

Lighting the oil lamp, the swaying light reflected the boy's face, dark red hair, and equally dark red eyes, but matching this color was an unusually gentle face. He was only in his early ten years but looked extremely mature. Just responded softly.

"Thank you very much for saving my life. I will repay you for saving my life in the future."

Raising her hands to bow, Ashina Kazuki could only express her gratitude in this way first.

But when faced with Ashina Kazuhime's thanks, the young boy waved his hands repeatedly.

"No...no...no, it's my honor to be able to save a swordsman in these troubled times. I don't need to be grateful."

Seeing through the young man's heart at a glance, Ashina Kazuki couldn't help but shake her head.

Even in troubled times, you still dare to save people like this. If you save a heartless person, you are asking for trouble.

"In the future, if you encounter someone with a sword, don't help him casually."

Ashina Kazuhime couldn't help but remind her

"By the way, may I ask what the benefactor's name is..."

"My name is Kamado Tanshi. Master Swordsman, just call me Tanshi."

"My name is Yi Ji. No honorifics are needed. Little friend Tanshi, just call me Yi Ji."

Ashina Kazuhime didn't ask nonsense about where your family is. Being so poor and alone, it is obvious that this boy is an orphan.

"Master Yiji, this is Yingxuecao. I heard from the doctor in the town that it can heal wounds."

Obviously, the boy who just said Kazuhime Ashina didn't hear anything except his name.

Without waiting for Kazuhime Ashina's response, Kamado Tanshi applied the ground herbs to Kazuhime Ashina's wound.

The old face was distorted for a moment, and Ashina Kazuji couldn't help but take a breath because of her endurance.

tnnd What kind of medicine is this? It can actually have a critical effect on wounds.

Panting heavily, it took several breaths before Ashina Kazuki regained her composure.

"Little friend Tanshi, please give me a reminder next time you take medicine."

"Is it painful? None of the patients I saw as doctor felt anything when using it, so it shouldn't hurt."

At that time, Tanshi, who didn't know how powerful Ying Xuecao was, said it fearlessly.

"By the way, Lady Yiji is recovering from her injuries. If you don't mind, please stay in a humble house for a while."

"That's it...thank you very much"

So Kazuhime Ashina stayed at Tanshi's house in Zamon.

half a month later

In the past few days, Ashina Yiji was recuperating peacefully, but she found that Tanshi always came home with wounds. After asking, she found out that Tanshi actually made a living by collecting medicine for the doctors in the town, so she was living in the mountains and forests. Bumps and bumps are inevitable.

And because the young man was poor, the herbs he collected were only enough for food and clothing, so he was reluctant to use them for dressing.

It turns out that there is no need to work so hard from dawn to dusk, but now that Ashina Kazuhime is in the family, Tanshi has to collect more medicinal materials to maintain Ashina Kazuhime's medicine and food and clothing for the two of them.

Kazuhime Ashina saw all this and felt quite uneasy, so she wanted to do something.

next day

Kazuhime Ashina, who was barely able to move, came outside the house. Outside the house, apart from a few reclaimed fields, there was only endless woods.

It's the cold season recently, and the cold wind is inevitably a bit chilly.

At her peak, Kazuhime Ashina was not afraid, but now she is running out of gas again, and even walking is a bit difficult.

Just when Kazuhime Ashina went out to do something, Tanshi came back carrying a bundle of wood.

"Master Yiji, it's my fault for not thinking carefully. How can we do it without fire in the cold season?"

"You kid"

Shaking her head, Ashina Kazuhime was numb to the kindness of this charcoal, and she liked to do everything to herself.

Go back to the house, light the fire,

Tan Shi, who is thin, is obviously also quite afraid of the cold.

Seeing Ashina like this, Ichiji couldn't help but ask.

"It's the cold season right now in Charcoal. There must be a shortage of wood in the town. Even if medicinal materials are more valuable than wood but hard to find in the cold weather, why not cut wood to make a living?"

Hearing this, the charcoal stone leaning against the fire couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The town only collects charcoal, and I am young and weak. After a day of cutting wood and burning charcoal, there is not much charcoal left after a tree is harvested. Working like this for a whole day is not enough for food and clothing."

"Is this so..."

After hearing what Tanshi said, Ashina Kazuhime thought for a while and continued.

"How do you burn charcoal?"

"Throw it in the open space, burn it with fire, and then put it out with soil after it's almost gone."

He shook his head and burned charcoal like this. Not only was the quality poor, it was also very wasteful.

So Kazuhime Ashina taught Kamado Tanshi the method of burning charcoal in a clay kiln.

"This way you can burn good charcoal, and the wood will hardly be lost. I'm going to teach you a set of training methods, so that you can make a living by cutting wood and burning charcoal."

In troubled times, martial arts have become extremely precious. Since ancient times, it has been said that laws should not be passed down lightly. Some characters would rather take them into the coffin than leave them to future generations.

Seeing that the swordsman in front of him actually wanted to pass on his martial arts to him, Tanshi immediately knelt down.

"Master, please accept this great gift from my disciples."

Yanbi just bowed down and bowed.

Ashina Kazuhime also nodded, obviously very helpful.
