Facing the crowd who proposed marriage, Kaguya put forward a condition for proposing marriage on the grounds that he could not tell who loved her more among several adults, and could not easily choose among several people. She will be that man's wife.

Because there are five people asking for marriage, there are five conditions.

"'Whoever can bring back my favorite thing, then I will marry him.' Kaguya said to the five of them."

There is a stone bowl of Buddha in Tianzhu, there is a tree in Penglai Wonderland in the East China Sea, the root is silver, the trunk is golden, and the sacred tree bears white jade fruits. Colorless gems, shells left by swallows when they lay eggs.

The stone bowl of the Tathagata Buddha, the jade branch of Penglai Mountain, the fur of the Tuhuo mouse in Tang Dynasty, the five-color jade of the dragon head, and the Zi'anbei of the swallow.

"Among these people, as long as one of them can bring back one of these items, Kaguya will marry that person as promised."

However, this is a difficult request for a strong man. Not to mention how far Tianzhu is from Japan, the stone bowl of the Buddha alone is not something that can be easily given to others.

Everyone knows Penglai Wonderland, but no one has ever visited the exact location.

In the south of Tangtu, there is a legend of the fire mouse. It is a strange mouse that lives in a volcano and lives in an indestructible tree called the indestructible wood. It is not afraid of high-temperature flames.

The legend of the dragon can be seen everywhere, but who can take the five-colored jade from the head of the dragon?

It is said that when swallows lay eggs, they will give birth to shells from their bodies, but no one has ever actually seen a shell named Zi Amber.

"It's something that can't be done by manpower. How could those five people really work so hard to find it?"

Looking at Liuli beside him, Xiao Si said softly: "Similar to the story in 'Bamboo Tori Monogatari', those five people all tried to get away with cheating, but they were all discovered by Kaguya and rejected. "

"Originally, they were found to be cheating, and they were not allowed to continue to propose marriage regardless of their face or identity, but among these five people, there was a person who didn't care about face."

"And that person is Prince Shizuo."

Prince Ishizuo did not go to Tianzhu, but brought a bowl blackened by smoke from a temple on a mountain in Japan. Even though his lie was exposed, Prince Ishizuo still had no intention of giving up.

When the other four chose to give up because of embarrassment, and even Prince Chechi ran to the deep mountains to live in seclusion because he had no face to see his relatives and friends again, Prince Ishizuko chose to stalk Kaguya marry him.

If it continues like this, then the old man who is just an ordinary family will definitely not be able to persist, and he who dare not disobey the prince will choose to urge Hui Ye to marry that prince.

"At this time, I was still staying in the village, but the ronin who chose to rest in other people's homes because of the visit of the prince and the minister appeared."

Ronin didn't dare to appear in front of the prince because he was a wanted criminal. If he was really such a timid person, he wouldn't have insisted on helping the needs he could meet during the process of wandering and fleeing. Those who help, but choose to hide their names and live in seclusion.

Because he couldn't pretend that the prince wanted to marry someone else by means close to coercion, the ronin taught the prince a lesson under the condition that he could conceal his identity.

The prince's guards could not fight against the ronin at all, and even the powerful warriors were not the enemy of the ronin.The swordsmanship known for its "superior speed" can easily defeat any enemy in front of him, and the prince fled back to the palace because of being frightened.

However, things did not end there.

One prince lived in seclusion in the mountains alone, and the other prince fled back to the palace because he felt humiliated. This kind of thing attracted the attention of the emperor. The emperor recruited the prince who returned to the palace, and learned about it from the prince after.

However, the emperor didn't care about the embarrassing thing about his son being driven back to the palace, but instead focused on Penglai Shanhuiye, who was said by the prince to be as beautiful as a heavenly man.

"So, the emperor called the female officer and asked the female officer to see if Hui Ye was as beautiful as his son said, and after the female officer saw that Hui Ye was indeed as beautiful as in the legend, she wanted to take Hui Ye with her. to the palace."

"However, Kaguya also refused."

Penglai Shan Huiye would not marry those princes and ministers, and naturally she would not want to become the emperor's concubine.She had no intention of getting married, but she rejected the invitation of the court lady, but such behavior also aroused the dissatisfaction of the emperor.

The emperor found Kaguya's 'father', the old man who found Kaguya in the heart of the bamboo, and promised the old man that as long as he could persuade Kaguya to become a palace maid, he would be able to make the old man hereditary and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life .

The old man who got such a promise happily returned home to persuade Huiye, but Huiye still didn't want to serve the emperor as a court lady, so he forced him to die.

The old man had no choice but to temporarily appease Hui Ye, but after re-entering the palace to see the emperor the next day, he gave the emperor another idea.

Since Hui Ye refused to enter the palace and wanted to avoid it, as long as the emperor came to the vicinity in the name of Xunyou hunting and suddenly broke into the house without Hui Ye's knowledge, he would be able to see him.

At that time, as the emperor, whether he wants to bring Hui Ye back to the palace to become a court lady or a concubine, can't he say it face to face?

"Old man, for the immediate benefit, he chose to give up Kaguya who he raised as his daughter."

!Please see must see)

"However, in fact, it is quite normal to think about it carefully, and the old man cannot be blamed for making such a choice."

"After all, Hui Ye is not the old man's own daughter, but a celestial being discovered during the bamboo cutting process, which he considers to be the 'reincarnation of gods and Buddhas'."

"It took three months to grow up. In fact, until the emperor wanted to bring Huiye into the palace, the old man and Huiye did not spend as long as expected."

"Since they haven't experienced those decades of constant upbringing, how can the 'family relationship' between the two be as solid as their own children? Rather, the old man didn't choose to forcefully ask Hui Ye to enter the palace. There is a camaraderie."

Xiao Si said this to Liuli, but Liuli pursed her lips and did not answer.

Although Xiao Si didn't say it directly, from this story, Liuli can basically confirm that the protagonist in the "Bamboo Catch Story" named "Penglai Mountain Kaguya" is Xiao Si beside her.

After all, although the girl mentioned in this story also has an unnamed girl called "the omnipotent person", the center of the story revolves around "Penglai Shan Huiye". 'Almighty' doesn't say much.

Moreover, the story is not finished yet, Liuli realizes that what is really important is just beginning.

"The emperor followed the old man's advice and decided to leave the palace for hunting reasons. Because he didn't want to disturb other people, he didn't bring too many troops with him. He just stayed with some guards who could protect himself."

"And when passing by the old man's house, the emperor left the guards around him, broke into the old man's house alone, and saw the long-awaited Kaguya at home."

"The old man is no longer at home at this time."

Kaguya didn't know that the emperor went on a hunting tour, and the location was in the mountains near her home.So for the emperor who suddenly broke into the house, Kaguya was also very surprised.But soon, Kaguya realized the truth of the matter.

At first, the emperor kindly invited Hui Ye to enter the palace, but after Hui Ye refused without hesitation, he changed his attitude and wanted to force Hui Ye back to the palace.

Even if it is a 'celestial being' born from bamboo, Kaguya herself is still an ordinary girl without any power.Not to mention that a weak girl can't stand up to a strong man, Kaguya can't stand up to the emperor just because of the difference in status between a commoner and an emperor.

However, just when Kaguya was about to be dragged out of his home by the emperor, Ronin reappeared with an unknown girl.

Ronin also didn't know about the emperor's hunting trip, otherwise he would not have appeared here on his own initiative.It's just simple, the ronin who stayed here for a while decided to embark on a journey again, so he planned to say goodbye to the old man's house that took him and the unknown girl in the first place.

But when he came to the old man's house and saw the emperor who was robbing civilian girls like a prince, the ronin did not back down, but took the initiative to pull out his own knife and block Kaguya's body.

He can't tolerate the behavior of oppressing the people for no reason, and he can't accept the behavior of capable people not choosing to protect the weak but letting their own desires bully others, so even if the person in front of him is the emperor in charge of Japan, he has not flinched in the slightest idea.

The emperor was afraid of the sharp blade in the hands of the ronin, so he called for guards.However, even the guards who were close to protecting the emperor had no way to resist Ronin's 'super fast' swordsmanship.

The emperor's guards were defeated, and the emperor became a lamb to be slaughtered, but the ronin did not choose to kill the emperor, just like he did not choose to kill the prince.

As the emperor who controlled Japan, his death would definitely lead to social turmoil. As a result of the wars and chaos, the suffering of the people became more serious in the end, so Ronin chose the emperor to leave.

As for the matter that the emperor took a fancy to Kaguya, Ronin had no good solution, he could only persuade Kaguya and the old man to leave here and move to a strange place to continue living.

And when the Ronin was about to leave...

"Kaguya took the initiative to grab that ronin, she had never had skin-to-skin contact with any man, she just grabbed the ronin's callused palm, and spoke her love to the ronin in the most sincere tone of her life." ask."

"—Please, take me out of here together!"

Hui Ye has already realized that even if she is not the emperor, even if she listens to the Ronin's advice and asks the old man to leave with her, the old man will still find a way to marry her off.

Rather than being forced to marry those who are greedy for her appearance, it is better to leave with the ronin like this. Even though she looks like a weak girl, she is not someone who cannot endure hardships.

After Ronin learned what happened, he chose to take Kaguya and leave together, and in order to allow Kaguya to protect himself, he gave Kaguya his swordsmanship without reservation.

From then on, the ronin who originally had only one nameless girl beside him had another girl named Horai Kaguya, who always wore a curtained hat that could hide her face.

The three of them walked together on the land called Japan. While avoiding the pursuers, they also continued to help those who were oppressed and destroyed around them. Although no matter how beautiful the place was, they could not stay for too long, but for the three of them For me, such wandering days are not painful, but happy.

"So what happened in the end, what happened in the end?"

Liuli asked about the end of the story that Hui Ye said, which happened more than 1300 years ago.Reality is not a fictional story, and the wandering life cannot last forever.

So the ending...

"The ending is... the Ronin is dead."

"The emperor didn't give up because of the ronin's stop. Instead, he felt that his majesty had been damaged. Even though this humiliation could not be made public and a large number of troops could not be summoned to hunt it down, he still ruled out a large number of ninjas and samurai to pursue him. Ronin."

"In the end, the ronin, who was injured by the ninja's sneak attack, was surrounded by the rushing samurai, and killed the samurai with his last breath, but he himself failed to survive."

"I said before that the ronin didn't want to rely on the ability of the unknown girl to realize his wish, but before he died, the ronin still expressed his wish to the girl and Kaguya with regrets in his heart."

"He hopes that all people can be equal, that the rich and powerful will no longer oppress the common people, that everyone can live in harmony, and that there will be no more wars and destruction caused by desire."

"He had no way to do this, and he didn't know how to do it, so he told the nameless girl his wish before he died."

Xiao Si looked at Liu Li silently, unable to tell whether it was pain or pain in his eyes.

"He said that he hoped that no matter how many times he went through reincarnation, he would not forget the justice in his heart and try his best to help those in need."

It's a wish, but it's also a curse.

"The ronin's name is 'Hiko Seijuro', I am 'Horaisan Kaguya' from 1300 years ago, and Subaru..."

"—He is the 'Hiko Seijuro' cursed by his own wish."

Chapter 315 How can a country be strong without copper smelting

"Sure enough..."

Liuli sighed.

"I thought it should be like that when you mentioned 'The Tale of Bamboo Tori'."

"However, it's really 'Kaguya Hime'... 1300, no matter how you think about it, it's incredible."

After all, let's not talk about the fact that Xiaosi looks like a 16.7-year-old girl, after all, she is the "Goddess of the Moon" in the story, and it seems that it is not difficult for people to be able to live forever.

However, just from the mentality of the small company, it is completely impossible to see that it is a manager who has lived for 1300 years.Although he usually seems to have a gentle and stable personality, and doesn't seem to be angry and impulsive because of anything, but just saying this can only be said to be mature in thinking.

Liuli's feelings towards older people should be like the old grandpas and grandmas in her impression, but Xiao Si never gave her that kind of feeling at all.

Therefore, even when Xiao Si admitted that he was Kaguya Hime in "The Tale of Bamboo Cutter", Liuli still felt like a dream.

"Why, after Liulijiang found out about this, did you think I was an 'grandmother'?"

Seeing Liuli's complex expression, Xiao Si couldn't help but smile, while Liuli shook his head vigorously.

"How is it possible? It would be strange if there is an old lady like you in this world, right?"

"But, in terms of age alone, I am indeed older than Liulijiang's grandma!"

"In terms of age, he is already an ancestor!?"

Liuli puffed her face and waved her hands to retort: ​​"Besides, in the final analysis, if you say so, then the relationship between you and Subaru, Xiao Si, isn't it that the old cow eats the tender, in today's society... no, even if you go forward That’s right, this is copper smelting!”

Although it was just an impromptu refutation of Xiao Si's remarks, if Liuli thought about it carefully, the relationship between Xiao Si and Subaru could indeed be called "copper refining".

After all, Koji is over 1300 years old, and Subaru is only 16 this year, right?From the point of view of Japanese law, Subaru is still a minor, so Xiao Si's behavior is completely copper smelting.

And it's not like the big sister likes the little Zhengtai, but even more outrageous, copper smelting with an unimaginable age difference.

"But before I got married, I asked Shizi to help change my husband's age, so according to the record, my husband should be 18 years old now, and he is already an adult~"
