The young man didn't know why Takuma had such a big reaction to what he said, but before he could recover, Takuma pushed him back.Then he turned around as if nothing had happened, leaned against the cell door with his back to him, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

The young man straightened his upper body, moved a few steps, and imitated Tuozhen and leaned his back on the door of the wooden prison, then looked up at the uneven top floor of the cave, his eyes diverged, and he kept his mind empty and didn't think about anything.

That's how he spent his days here, day after day, during his years here.

The wooden prison was locked, and the prison door was also made of strong wood, so there was no way for the young man to escape.

There was no food, no water, and no living thing but him.In the beginning, he would cry, yell, and punch and kick the wooden door... But he soon discovered that this was completely useless except for accelerating the consumption of energy in his body.

Because no one would care about his cries and anger, and it was even a question of whether his voice could be heard.

The frightening thing is not the lack of food and water, nor the extremely cold temperature in the cave, but the loneliness with no one and nothing to do.

Every year, every month, every day here is extremely long.

At the beginning, he also used small stones to carve marks on the rock walls, recording the time he spent here.But then he suddenly discovered that doing so has no meaning at all except to make him pay more attention to time and feel that every day is too long.

So he used a larger stone to paint off these marks very patiently bit by bit.

After that, he has no concept of time at all.

It was very cold in the cave at night, and he experienced many times of being frozen to death at night and coming back to life during the day, and then he also became dull to the feeling of "cold".Occasionally, when there is heavy snow outside the cave, he will realize that winter has come...

"Nissan..." the young man called out.

"Huh?" Tuo Zhen answered vaguely.

"Help me please?"

"..." Tuozhen slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the narrow sky restricted by the entrance of the cave, and for a moment he felt that what he saw were actually two guys trapped by time .

"I can't save you." Just like I can't save myself.

The young man calmly wiped away a tear that slipped from the corner of his eye, then he quickly recovered his mood, cheered up and turned his head to Tuozhen and said, "Nissan, will you talk to me?"

"What?" Tuozhen glanced at him, noticed the red eyes of the young man, and sighed in his heart: Sure enough, he is still the crybaby.

"Anything is fine." Seeing that Tuozhen's face was blank, and he meant to say something completely, the young man simply told him to be more specific and guided him to speak, "For example, Nissan saw some beautiful scenery outside, or met someone What fun things like this, can you tell me about it?"

"Hmm—" Tuozhen pondered for a while, then shook his head in a daze, "I never noticed it."

"..." Nissan, you are really a standard topic stopper →_→

The young man sighed invisibly, and was about to turn around and continue to be dazed, but he heard Takuma say: "I can tell you about some things about the court."

"Hey???"

Next, the young man stared dumbfounded at Tuozhen talking to him about various major and minor matters of the current imperial court with a calm expression.

While Tuozhen was talking, he also complained to the young people about the negligence in the defense of the palaces of the emperors of the northern and southern dynasties.As he talked, he brought the generals of the shogunate from time to time, saying that the guy holding the real power is different, and the defense of the mansion is even stricter than the two emperors balabala...

The young man was a little confused at first, but later he unconsciously listened to it.From time to time, I would ask Takuma some questions, and Takuma answered the youth's questions one by one, although his answers were relatively simple and rude→_→

Just like...

After hearing what Takuma did to a certain minister, and what kind of jokes a certain Nayan made, the young man asked Tuozhen curiously outside the topic: "What do these official titles and positions in Nissan mean? I I've never heard of it, what do they do?"

Tuozhen stretched out his hand and patted the young man's forehead: "There's no need to make a clear distinction, you just need to know that they are just doing odd jobs for the superiors for various interests."

What a straightforward and easy-to-understand answer, the young man nodded to show that he understood.

When Takuma mentioned that he went to the palaces of the emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the residence of the General, the young man asked again: "What did the palaces of the Emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties look like? What about the residence of the General?"

Tuozhen thought about it for a while, and then gave such a description very simply: "They are all quite big."

The young man blinked, "...is it gone?"

Tuozhen looked at him strangely, almost writing "what else do you want me to say" on his face, and said very confidently: "No more."

Youth: ...Okay.

Hearing that the general supported the emperor of the Northern Dynasty because he was dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the curious baby raised his own question again: "Isn't it said that the emperor is the most honorable person in the world? Why does he rely on the general everywhere? "

"It's very simple, the one with the big fist is the boss."

"...Unreasonable? Isn't the Emperor orthodox?"

Tuozhen looked at him sympathetically: "Silly boy, why do you have to be reasonable when something that can be solved by violence? In other words, you will stand still and try to influence my fist with your mouth?"

Youth: ...That's right?

……

In the end, listening to Takuma's story, the young man didn't know when he fell asleep against the cell door.

Hearing the slow and even breathing sound in his ear, Takuma suddenly glanced at his lower left corner, and found that a small corner of his cloak was grabbed by the young man.However, the young man didn't use much strength, Takuma only needed to turn sideways or change some other posture, and his cloak could easily slip out of the young man's hand.

"..." Stupid to death.

Tuozhen stayed with the young man in the cave for a few days.

However, the young man can't tell the specific days, anyway, as long as he is awake, he can always see Tuozhen.

"Nissan."

"Huh? Wake up?" Tuozhen turned his head and glanced at him, then turned his head and continued to look at the blue sky outside the cave.

The young man looked down at the corner of the cloak that he had been holding in his hand all this time, after thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind to let go of his hand, and said, "As for Nisan, you haven't eaten for the past few days..."

"It's okay." Tuo Zhen said not very concerned.In fact, he will be hungry at the beginning, but after that point, he doesn't feel much.

In the past, he might have gone mad due to prolonged hunger, but this was only due to the lack of energy in his body causing Altana to consume too much.Now the Altana in his body can be rebuilt through cultivation, and it is completely self-sufficient, providing the body with the energy needed for daily activities.As long as his body energy can keep up, whether to eat or not is actually a dispensable thing for him.

"It's not okay to be hungry all the time, or Nissan..." The young man was interrupted by Tuozhen before he finished speaking.

"Are you driving me away?" Tuozhen tilted his head and looked at him.

What... He wished you would stay here for the rest of his life, so why would he drive you away.

The young man felt a little helpless and at the same time more sad, "But it's impossible for Nissan to stop eating all the time, and you..." He suddenly closed his mouth, and silently added the words that he didn't say: You're not like a monster like me...

Tuozhen didn't answer his question directly, but instead said: "If I leave, I don't know when I will come back next time."

The young man lowered his head in a low mood, and the long hair on both sides of his cheeks slipped from his ears, covering most of his delicate face. "I'm just going to collect more interesting stories for me as if Nissan."

Tuozhen glanced at him, then reached into the wooden prison, and held the young man's chin to make him look up.

The young man was taken aback by him, and before he could hide, his eyes met with Tuozhen.

Tuozhen looked at the stunned look of the young man, gently rubbed the dirt on his face with his thumb, and asked, "What do you want to hear next time?"

The young man was silent for a while, and couldn't help reaching out to hold Tuozhen's hand on his face, then pulled him to stick his hand to his face, closed his eyes and rubbed gently, and did not rush to answer Tuozhen. Instead, ask him: "What season is it outside now?"

"spring."

"Spring..." The young man thought about it for a while, and then said to Tuozhen with a smile: "I once heard those people talking about the Flower God Festival. I was very curious, so I secretly went to see it, but every time I couldn't wait for the festival to start. They found out..."

"..."

"Next time, Nissan, can you tell me... what does the Flower God Festival look like?"

"it is good."

Takumi left after the young man fell asleep, quietly without making any sound.

When the young man woke up, he found that the cloak that had been wrapped around Tuozhen's body had been draped over him, and the hand he had been holding on to Tuozhen's cloak was holding a spring flower that can be found everywhere in the mountains and fields. Mei, there are even a few crystal dewdrops hanging on the delicate white petals, which looks pitiful and lovely.

The young man couldn't help laughing suddenly, and then faintly heard two "clicks" in the empty wooden prison, and water droplets dripped on the back of his hand.

"...It's really spring."

The government reception hall of the time.

It is not entirely true that it is the reception hall, because in this hall, there is only one simple stone chair, and there are even countless clear cracks on it, which makes people suspect that it will be broken all the time.

At this time, there was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy sitting on that stone chair.

The boy had waist-length silver hair, his jet-black eyes stared straight ahead without focus, and the expression on his face was extremely cold, like a delicate doll.

At this moment, a section of crimson sleeves hung down on the back of the chair, and a black-haired, red-clothed boy who looked younger suddenly appeared in mid-air, and then slumped on the back of the chair. sat down.

"Long time no see, Cangsuke." He crossed his legs and rested his chin, his posture was extremely relaxed and casual, and the words he said were the same, "How is it? The guy I recommended to you."

Hearing this sentence, the silver-haired boy finally reacted like a puppet whose switch was turned on, but his behavior was still a little slow, "...he?"

"That's right." The boy in red looked at him with a smile, "It's Tuo Zhenjun."

The silver-haired boy turned his head to look at him, and corrected him intermittently but very earnestly: "Ming, Ming...I, chose him, and have nothing to do with my senior, that's right."

"Don't say that." Seeing that the young man was having a hard time talking with his head up, Ma Canghao jumped down from the high chair back, sat on the armrest of the stone chair, and looked at the young man, "After all Or should I tell him 'Renzhu' first, or else I really have to wait for that guy to figure it out by himself, will we still be able to fight this FOM?"

The silver-haired boy thought about it seriously after hearing this, then nodded, affirming Ma Canghao's statement, "That's true."

……

On the other side, Yoshida Matsuyo's Honmaru.

"FOM?" An Ding couldn't help asking when Songyang mentioned this strange term, "What is that?"

Songyang took the tea from Qingguang, thanked him softly, took a sip, and then answered An Ding's question unhurriedly, "FOM means Flower of Maize, as for why it is called this name..." Looking at Baba When he said Qingguang Anding and Xiuzhen below, the interrogator smiled innocently: "Actually, I don't know either."

"……"Bad taste!It's just bad fun! ! !

Before Xiuzhen jumped up and tried to jump over the low table and beat Songyang on the head, he was slapped back by An Ding, who had been on guard for a long time.

"Flower of...Maize...what the hell is it?"

Song Yang put the teacup on the table, and did not rush to answer, but asked them: "In the past era, have you seen that Shaman King 'OK'?"

"Huh?" Qing Guang and An Ding were a little surprised, "How do you know?"

"It's not important." Songyang skipped the topic with a smile, and continued: "This so-called FOM has a great relationship with Shaman King..."
