I'm just for 100 billion

Because the big monsters and robbers have been wiped out, the next thing Asuka and Yuanyi have to do is to go to the cave of the mountain they passed just now, and inform the villagers hiding in it that they can return to the village safely.

Now that the night has completely fallen, the night of the Warring States Period is extraordinarily quiet, which is very suitable for thinking about things that were too late to think about during the day.

In his eyes, Asuka, who has been with him since he was a child, has always been a pure and innocent person, but today he saw another side of Asuka.

Although considering the crimes committed by those robbers, no amount of cruel death was an exaggeration, but he didn't want to see Asuka stained with the blood of those robbers.

Because Asuka gave him too much impact today, the uneasiness that had been suppressed all this time came out.

Asuka is full of mysteries in his eyes, such as the other party's life before becoming the adopted son of the successor country, such as the strange flame power on Asuka.

Although the power of the flame was very strong, the red and black color like coagulated blood made him feel uneasy.

Also, Asuka's look was the same before and after dealing with the robber. He suddenly felt that although he and Asuka had been inseparable for nine years, he hadn't really understood Asuka.

For him, all his wishes are to be with Asuka forever, even if they are not in their original home, it doesn't matter even if they are wandering in this troubled world.

For him, Asuka is his home, as long as he is by his side, his heart will be at peace, as if he has found his true belonging.

Before these doubts arose, he was convinced that he and Asuka would be together forever, but now he was a little panicked, afraid that his wish was just his one-sided idea.

In his eyes, Asuka is a very powerful and special person. He should have a wider world, and there will be more suitable people around him.

Just thinking about the fact that there will be other people who will replace him as the closest position to Asuka, he can't help but feel sad.

He thought of his elder brother Yansheng, the witch Kikyo, and even the picture of the ghost spider that had been reduced to a corpse and the bird in the same frame, and he couldn't help but tighten the clothes on his chest.

Asuka originally looked up at the night sky, and the moon was half covered by dark clouds, which reminded him of the moon when Dai Yuanyi fled the successor country nine years ago, which made him nostalgic.

There was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, he just wanted to sigh something to Yuan Yi with a smile, but he felt the bitter taste coming from Yuan Yi.

Although he no longer closes his heart like he did when he was a child, but most of the time his emotions are light, and it is difficult to experience intense emotions from Yuanyi.

He turned his head to look at Yuanyi, just in time to see a tangle in Yuanyi's eyes, which made him a little confused. He suddenly remembered his bad behavior towards the ghost spider just now, and felt that his excessive behavior just now scared Yuanyi .

After all, the years in the mountains have allowed him to cultivate himself a lot, so he has always been kind and righteous in front of Yuanyi.

Today, he suddenly exposed his not-so-kind and not-so-just side, so Yuanyi's simplicity should be difficult to understand.

But how should this be explained to Yuan Yi, can't he directly express to Yuan Yi that he is such a person, and today he just exposed his nature?

It's better not to explain anything, at least keep some good impression of him in front of Yuanyi.

Asuka decided to find other things to divert his attention. Suddenly, the light around him dimmed, and the moon was covered by dark clouds. There was a strange movement not far away, and there was a faint smell of blood coming through.

Asuka and Yuanyi quickly threw out the chaotic thoughts before, and looked at each other, and the answer appeared in the eyes of both of them: there are ghosts.

And the ghost is on this mountain. They thought of the many villagers hiding in this mountain. If the ghost finds their hiding place, then the previous behavior of killing demons and robbers in order to save the lives of the villagers will be in vain.

Without hesitation, Asuka and Yuanyi ran towards the direction of the bloody smell. Both of them traveled very fast. The closer they got to the target, the stronger the bloody smell.

Judging from the strong smell of blood, there were quite a few victims, and soon, there was only a little distance between them.

In the mottled shadows of the trees, Asuka and Yuanyi saw a familiar figure, and the ugly, bloody ghost was approaching that figure.

"Yan Sheng?"

"Brother?"

Asuka and Yuanyi recognized the figure together. Although they hadn't seen each other for nine years, they knew from the similar appearance of the other party and Yuanyi that the other party was their childhood friend Iwakatsu.

Because of the fight with the ghost just now, Yan Sheng has completely lost his strength. The subordinates he brought out before he went out died protecting him, although Yan Sheng has been diligently practicing kendo in the past few years.

But in the face of the ghost that can regenerate at a super speed, Iwakatsu, who is the most powerful among human warriors, has nothing to do.

Tonight was the first time he knew about the existence of ghosts, and he never thought that his young life would come to an end so soon.

But at this moment, that night nine years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

While protecting his younger brother Yuanyi, Asuka knocked down more than half of the samurai in the family. Even his father, who is very strong, did not survive a knife in his hand, and Yuanyi chopped down the kendo teacher during the day. faint scene.

These two scenes were his nightmares for nine years. He never thought that he would replay them before he died. He remembered the scene where his subordinates sacrificed their lives to protect him. Suddenly, he had an idea in his mind. :

If it was Asuka or Yuanichi, would they show a powerless expression like him when facing this ghost?

He imagined it in his heart, and found that he couldn't imagine that Yuanyi and Asuka would show such ugly expressions like him.

If it was them, they probably would have hacked the ghost to death on the spot without even shaking their eyebrows.

Iwakatsu is preparing to die, and as a samurai, he is not afraid of death, he just hates his own powerlessness.

It's like he saw Yuan Yi knocked unconscious and the kendo teacher clearly realized that his heir status would be replaced, like he watched Asuka pulling Yuan Yi away, like after Asuka and Yuan Yi left, no matter how hard he practiced , but the feeling of powerlessness when being ignored by his father.

Just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. He ignored the ghost that was about to eat him, because of those two voices, he felt the disgusting and heart-wrenching feeling of that night nine years ago.

He covered his mouth with his hand and said, "Asuka, Yuanyi?"

I saw Yuanyi leaping into the air, his neat figure was as perfect as a phoenix spreading its wings under the moon.

He quickly drew out the Sun Wheel Knife, beheaded the ghost on the spot, then knelt down in front of him on one knee, and said, "Sorry, brother, I'm late."

Samurai families have a strict hierarchy, so Asuka was not surprised to see Enichi kneeling in front of Iwakatsu.

If he was really willing to stay in the successor country, he, who was supposed to be Yan Sheng's close minister, should also kneel down and salute Yan Sheng.

But it's a pity that from the very beginning, this may not be true, and although he understands the hierarchy of this era, he still feels a little displeased with Yuanyi's kneeling.

Yuanyi is that he loved and cared for the children who grew up since he was a child. He is free and unrestrained in nature, so he should not be bound by those rigid etiquette.

However, the reason why Yuanyi knelt down was because he had always respected and loved his elder brother Yansheng, and he had always felt guilty towards Yansheng.

After all, one of them is Yansheng's twin brother, and the other is Yansheng's close minister, but they both left Yansheng and left the successor country together, so Yuanyi has always felt guilty towards Yansheng.

Although sometimes I really want to go home to see my elder brother, but thinking of the fact that the Patriarch of the Successor Country did not forget to send people to look for them after they fled, I feel that it is better not to appear in front of Yansheng, so I keep procrastinating.

Asuka walked over and stood beside Yuanyi, Yan Sheng stared at the two of them carefully with his eyes wide open.

Yuanyi and Asuka have been missing for nine years. In his heart, these two people who abandoned him died that night nine years ago, but he never thought that they would suddenly appear in front of him before he died.

Like a heavenly soldier, he easily beheaded the ghosts he couldn't kill no matter what.

Now the dark clouds that covered the moon have dissipated, and the clear moonlight shrouded the two people of Zhilanyushu, making him look more and more mediocre as he was huddled under the shadow of the tree waiting to die.

If it wasn't for these two people standing in front of him, he would definitely vomit out because of the despicable feeling in his heart, but even if he didn't vomit out because of his own face, his pale face must be ugly now.

He looked at Yuanyi who was kneeling respectfully, and Yuanyi bowed his head in front of him. Although he was respectful and humble, he could see that he was far more powerful and noble than himself.

And Asuka, as his former candidate for a close minister, according to common sense, the other party should also salute to him, but when I was a child, I vaguely knew that Asuka would not kneel down to him one day.

At that time, he also thought that he and Asuka were friends, and didn't want there to be a distinction between them.

But after Asuka and Yuanyi left, he sometimes dreamed that Asuka bowed in front of him like a real vassal, and there was always a sense of revenge after waking up.

He thought that his sincere friendship with Asuka had finally changed because of Asuka's betrayal. He hated Asuka even more than Yuanyi who was obviously twins, but whose talent far surpassed his own.

Now that he looked at Asuka's cold and dignified appearance, this feeling reached its peak.

Asuka felt the complicated mood in Yansheng's heart at this time, as if the originally sweet tea had become bitter after being left for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

In any case, Yan Sheng was very kind to him when he was a child, but he abducted his younger brother and hurt his father. Thinking of Yan Sheng's cute little face when he was a child, he felt that he was not a thing.

Asuka's gaze wandered a little, concealing his guilty conscience, just now Yuanyi took away his chance to perform well, now he has to think of other ways to redeem his conscience.

He looked at Yansheng and took a little observation. Although he fought with ghosts just now, he didn't know how to use breathing swordsmanship against ghosts. Yansheng, who was just fighting with ordinary swordsmanship, didn't suffer any injuries. Sitting on the ground now is just a Because of exhaustion.

He stretched out his hand towards Yansheng and said, "Yansheng, are you okay, can you still stand up now?"

Yansheng looked at Asuka's white and slender hand stretched out towards him. Just like when he was a child, Asuka's physique was much thinner than his peers, and he didn't know how Asuka used such a physique to defeat those who were far taller than him. of.

There is really no reason for such things as talent, he wants talent more than anyone else, but Yuan Yi, who doesn't need talent so much, is favored by heaven like a child of God.

And he is the much-anticipated patriarch of the successor country, but Asuka, who was supposed to be his close vassal, stood at a height that he could not reach a long, long time ago.

Thinking that the tender eyes of Asuka, whom he had always loved since he was a child, might contain a heart of pity for him, he felt nauseous again.

Seeing Yansheng holding his hand, Asuka breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled Yansheng to stand up vigorously. Because of the short rest just now, Yansheng's physical fitness gradually recovered, and now he has the ability to move .

Yuanyi beside him had already stood up, and Yansheng seemed to have a lot of questions he wanted to ask them.

Asuka said in a timely manner: "Yansheng, we have urgent matters to do now. Although I know you have many questions to ask us, we still have a long time. You can ask slowly."

"What's so urgent?" Yansheng asked curiously. It should be a very serious matter to make Asuka, who was not in a hurry when he was a child, anxious. He can also use this incident to understand the experiences of Asuka and Yuanyi in the past few years .

Asuka said: "Yuanyi and I are demon extermination masters who have accepted the commission. Now that the commission has been completed, we need to inform the villagers that the commissioned monsters have been killed and that they can return to the village. It is just right to call a few villagers to ask them to help. Arrange the funeral of your fallen subordinates."

Yansheng looked at the corpses on the ground, sighed and said: "Although they are dead, I still want to bring them back to the fallen leaves in the city and give their relatives an explanation. As the head of the country, I will treat their relatives kindly in the future. "

"Yansheng, have you inherited the successor country?"

"Yes, my father died two months ago."

After finishing this sentence, Yansheng looked at Yuanyi, and found that Yuanyi didn't look moved at all, and sighed in his heart that their twin brothers still have similarities.

Yuan Yi has been locked up in a small room by his father as a family shame since he was a child, and he has never given Yuan any warmth. In Yuan Yi's eyes, his father should be a dead thing from the beginning.

And when he faced his father's death, he felt relieved, because after Yuan Yi showed his talents at the age of seventeen, he, the initial heir, became a dead thing in his father's eyes.

After the death of his father, deep in his heart, he just felt lucky and relieved.

"Since my father is dead, Yuanyi, are you willing to return to the successor country, and Asuka, are you willing to return to the successor country to help me, not as a close minister, but as my friend?"

"Sorry..." Asuka and Yuanyi said at the same time, Yansheng's eyelashes trembled, and he didn't force them any more.

Yan Sheng didn't understand what mood he was in right now. On the one hand, he hated them so much that he wanted to vomit, but on the other hand, he had inexplicable expectations in his heart when he invited them home.

Sure enough, his heart had become abnormal nine years ago. In the nine years since Asuka and Yuanyi left, his life was peaceful and boring, and he lived like a pool of stagnant water.

And because of Asuka and Yuan calling him just now, his time finally started to flow again.

When they went to the cave, the villagers almost knelt down to them when they heard that they had cured the snake demon. The snake demon asked their village for twenty young men at first.

Their village is not big, and most of the young and middle-aged people have become cannon fodder on the battlefield. If they pay tribute to the snake demon with another twenty young and middle-aged people, then only the old, weak, sick and disabled will be left in their village.

Even if the snake demon doesn't slaughter the village, they have no way to survive.

So they pinned their hopes on the witch Kikyo in the Maple Village on the other side of the mountain, but the witch Kikyo herself had to guard the Maple Village, and they were almost hopeless. Fortunately, the witch Kikyo recommended these two exorcists to them.

Hearing that Master Exorcist needed their help, they agreed without saying a word, and immediately prepared to go back to prepare a rickshaw.

At this time, a butterfly folded from a piece of talisman flew to them, and Kikyo's voice came from the butterfly: "Master Asuka, Master Yuan, you haven't come back for so long, do you need my help?"

The butterfly landed on Asuka's hand, and Asuka said, "Master Kikyo, the snake demon has been dealt with. Yuanyi and I have other things to do, so we may not be returning to Maple Village in the near future. What do you need us for in the future? , you can use shikigami to tell us."

The clear spiritual light of the platycodon on the talisman paper illuminated the eyes of the people around, and the butterfly flapped its wings twice as a promise, and then the platycodon said softly: "I wish you and Master Yuan a prosperous martial arts."

Asuka said, "Thank you."

Asuka raised his hand slightly, and the paper butterfly talisman spread its wings and flew in the direction of Maple Village. Yansheng and the surrounding villagers watched in amazement at the interaction between Asuka and the paper butterfly.

During the Warring States Period, there were quite a few witches, exorcists, and monks with spiritual powers, but even they saw that the butterfly was different, so one can imagine the supernatural power of the witches behind it.

The villagers didn't dare to say anything because they were immersed in the wonderful scene just now, Yansheng's eyes had already turned to Asuka and Yuanyi.

It turned out that during the nine years of his mediocrity, living like a frog boiled in warm water, did Asuka and Yuanyi see such a special and vast world?

Sure enough, the gap between him and the two of them is even further. On that night nine years ago, he just passively accepted the fate bestowed on him by Asuka, Yuanyi, and his father like a puppet. A strong urge to master your destiny.

The villagers first went back to the village to find a wooden cart to carry the corpses of Yansheng's subordinates, so as to prevent the wild beasts in the mountain from eating up these corpses. Now there are only Asuka, Yuanyi and Yansheng standing next to the corpses.

This feeling is amazing, just like the scene when they got along together when they were young.

Yansheng said: "After I bring back the corpses of my subordinates and arrange pensions and other care for their families, can I go with you?"

"Brother?" Yuan Yi looked at Yan Sheng. He knew from a young age that his elder brother wanted to be a competent successor patriarch more than anyone else, and more than anyone else wanted to be the number one warrior in the world.

If the elder brother leaves the successor country and abandons his status as the head of the successor country, he will no longer be a warrior.

He felt that today's experience was really mysterious. Not only did Asuka show another side in front of him, but even his elder brother, whom he hadn't seen for several years, made an unusual decision.

Whether it was Asuka who decisively executed the robbers like that, or his brother who resolutely gave up ten years of persistence, it can be seen that their personalities have similar fierce parts, which he does not have and is extremely envious of.

Sure enough, compared to himself, his elder brother has always been the most suitable person for Asuka in terms of mood, Yuanyi's eyes suddenly became hollow, this is the look he often had before he met Asuka.

His father hated him, his mother protected him, and his elder brother insisted on coming to him to accompany him and love him after being beaten by his father, but none of them knew him.

In the eyes of his father, he is an ominous thing that may destroy the successor country. His mother thinks he is her unfortunate young son who is deaf and unable to speak. In the eyes of his elder brother, he is a poor younger brother who needs to be taken good care of.

But when Asuka first entered the country, he was locked in a small room without knowing the existence of Asuka, but at night, he found the location of Asuka exactly, like the guidance of the soul in the dark .

His mother has been praying for him in front of the gods since he was born, hoping that he would be protected by the gods, and also made him a pair of earrings with the symbol of the gods.

And Asuka, who met him for the first time, when he touched the other's cheek, a rune similar to the pattern on his face appeared on Asuka's face.

Later, after Asuka took him away from the country, the power that did not belong to the gods displayed in the mountains, and the flame-like power displayed by Asuka today, he became convinced of one point for no reason:

Asuka is the god who responded to his mother's expectations. Asuka protected him, loved him, and understood him as his mother expected. They are the relationship between gods and believers, and no one will be closer to each other than them.

After reaching the final conclusion, Yuanyi's somewhat dull eyes regained clarity.

Those special red eyes flowed with more intense emotions than ever, which was the same human-like emotion as Asuka and his brother that he had always envied.

Sensing the change in Yuanyi's heart, Asuka and Iwakatsu looked at each other together, but now Yuanyi has returned to his previous state of wanting nothing.

Asuka blinked in confusion, he felt a little hot on his arms and cheeks.

He covered the part where the rune appeared on his cheek with his long hair, and then held the other arm where the rune appeared with one hand, slowly waiting for the slightly hot temperature and the rune to disappear.

But what made him feel the heat was not only the runes that suddenly appeared on his face and arms, but also a passionate look in his eyes.

Asuka turned his head and saw Yuanyi's ruby-like eyes. Although Yuanyi's eyes are usually beautiful, except when looking at him, most of the time they look dull.

Although Yi Yuanyi's talent is more suitable for a larger world than anyone else, but he feels lonely and at a loss for this larger world than anyone else.

He once thought about whether bringing Yuan to the outside world would change the other party, but when the eyes changed for the first time, he had the idea of ​​escaping.

The author has something to say:

The relationship between Asuka and Yuanyi is not just a simple relationship between friends and family, Yuanyi has touched part of the truth
