the world

Standing at a high altitude with an unobstructed view of this forest, I can clearly see the situation below.

The closer to the center of the forest, the taller and denser the trees, and the closer to the edge, the sparser the trees.Therefore, when Taki Wakaba and I floated above the surrounding forest, we could easily see the whereabouts of youkai.

Fortunately, the news of the monsters hurting people has already spread, and now no one will approach this forest, otherwise they would be shocked to see me and Taki Ruoye flying in the air.

I don't know how Taki Wakaba made me fly too, and I'm also curious how she will deal with those monsters.

Although monsters are stronger than ordinary people, they are not irresistible to humans.If it weren't for the large number of youkai, with my sword skills, I would be sure to win one-on-one.But if it is those big monsters occupying one side, it may require multiple people to crusade at the same time.

"There are fifteen in total, right?" Taki Ruoye confirmed to me, she looked at me very seriously.

"Fifteen?" I counted again, "I only counted fourteen."

"There's another one there."

I looked in the direction Taki Wakaba was pointing at. It was an ordinary mound. I squinted my eyes and looked at it several times. When I was about to look at the flowers, I realized that there was a giant centipede lying on it. On the mound, the pattern on its body is exactly the same as the gully of the mound, which is a perfect camouflage, "That's the earth centipede! The best thing is to lie dormant and wait for the prey to approach, and then kill it with one blow."

"Okay, there should be fifteen of them. Is there anything special about these monsters? What kind of damage are they more sensitive to?"

"As far as I know, none of them are particularly strong monsters. Whether they are hit, burned, or poisoned, they all have good effects."

Taki Ruoye's eyes rolled, as if she wanted to engrave the positions of these fifteen monsters in her heart, and then she waved her hand.

My ears were occupied by the huge voice, and the world turned into black and white at that moment, but I was so close to Taki Wakaba, I still understood her words covered by the huge thunder, what she said was:

"Thunderstorm."

I looked at the point where the thunder struck, and there happened to be fifteen thunderbolts, which hit the fifteen monsters with great precision, leaving behind scorching black corpses.

"That's fine. It's my first time fighting monsters, and I don't know their habits and weaknesses. If there are some of them who are good at escaping, if they can't be killed with one blow, they may escape and cause harm to the surrounding villages, so I I chose the safer method." Taki Ruoye explained to me, "When I picked up this child, I noticed that there seemed to be a strange aura around this child, but it disappeared as soon as I got close. Now that I think of those strange things The breath should be all monsters, they also yearn for this child's body. But at the same time, they are afraid of me and dare not appear in front of me. That's why there are so many monsters wandering around the forest."

Taki Wakaba explained it very clearly, and I immediately understood what she meant.

This is actually the first time she has fought against a monster. When I realized this, I recalled the whole process of her killing the monster, and I was amazed.

There is no doubt that Taki Wakaba has great power, but at the same time, her caution can be said to be impermeable.Many people in high positions and powerful people always use experience to judge when encountering unknown things. They believe in their extraordinary abilities.

But Taki Wakaba, who is so keen, cannot be unaware that her eyesight and perception ability are far superior to others, but she still confirmed the number of monsters to me.Don't just rely on your own judgment, but also listen to the opinions of those who have experienced it.Before the beheading, she was already anticipating the outcome, and chose the most appropriate method, even taking into account the safety of the village residents who could not be seen right now.

Powerful, prudent, and humble, these excellent qualities are all concentrated in this priestess in front of her.

His Highness Siba, whom I used to serve, was a lord with a reputation for viciousness, but I didn't feel the demeanor and majesty of a king from him, but at this moment, I was overwhelmed by a woman I just met.

"Are you going back, my lord?" I couldn't help calling Taki Wakaba "my lord".

"Don't call me sir, just call me 'Ruo Ye'. I don't have any noble status, nor am I superior to others." Taki Ruo Ye smiled at me, and I have to say that her smile is really very soothing. , "Take me to the homes of those injured villagers. Because I live deep in the woods, those monsters will gather and hurt the surrounding villagers. I want to heal them."

Most of the injured villagers were missing arms and legs, how to treat them?

I remembered the cup of water that Taki Ruoye gave me to drink, so I took her to the injured villager without asking my question.If she can heal those less fortunate people, I will be very grateful to her, grateful to the point of prostration.

It is easy to kill a man, and it is easy to take his hands and feet, and sometimes all it takes is to cut off a man's arm to destroy him.It can be hundreds or thousands of times more difficult to save a person than to kill a person.

I once became disheartened and threw myself into the sea trying to kill myself, but was rescued by a ship at sea.On that ship, I learned the technology of making prosthetic limbs, which can make those disabled people who were killed by the war act like normal people.I choose to live on, I think I can at least alleviate some other people's misfortune, this is not for redemption, but I choose to do what I want to do.

I looked at the gray sky, the thundercloud had completely dissipated, as if it was just my hallucination.

It must have been sunny outside when I entered the forest. The weather has changed so quickly. Judging by the color of the sky, it is estimated that it will be cloudy after today.

"Fortunately, the infectious disease has not spread recently. Otherwise, those injured people are already weak. If they contract an infectious disease, they will be very dangerous." I saw a corpse lying on the side of the forest road, which seemed to be dead. After a long time, I couldn't help sighing.

It is not uncommon to see corpses on the side of the road in this world.

"It's the wind." Taki Wakaba glanced at me and said, "After the battle between the two armies, a large number of corpses were left behind. Those corpses were left untreated, polluting the land, and also brought dirty air. The wind will be contaminated with diseases. The air blows in all directions. War, famine, epidemic disease, these always come together."

It was the first time for Taki Wakaba to come into contact with monsters. I thought she would be the type who would not be born in this world. I didn't expect her to say such an appropriate remark. I said, "You know it very well."

"...I once had a friend who was a general. If it was him, he should be able to do better."

From Taki Wakaba's emotions, I sensed that her friend should no longer be around.Taki Wakaba has a noble surname like "Taki", which means that at least she was once a nobleman and made friends with generals, maybe she stayed in the court.

Then why is she alone?

"Doctor Shouhai! Why are you here? Who is this Miss Miko?" A little boy with a prosthetic arm in his right hand walked towards me. He was the child I treated last month. He lost his right arm, and he seems to be recovering well now.

"She is my friend. She came to visit the injured people. Call out all the injured villagers in the village."

I knelt down and said to him, and at the same time took a sneak peek at Taki Wakaba, I said "injured villagers in the village", not "injured villagers who were attacked by monsters", but Taki Wakaba didn't seem to care .

We walked into the village, and I saw Taki Wakaba looking at the withered rice fields, "It hasn't rained for a long time, and today is still a rare cloudy day. I am sorry that everyone has worked so hard to plant the rice fields for so long, and there is no more rain." They're all going to die."

Taki Wakaba reached out and stroked the shriveled ears of rice, "If there is no harvest this season, everyone will have nothing to eat."

"It's not bad here, it's relatively remote, and all the food has not been robbed by warriors. Even if there is no harvest this season, everyone should still have some surplus. But—it's hard."

My name is fairly well-known in this village, and the little boy quickly called all the injured people in the village to the open space, and there were probably dozens of people at a glance.

Taki Ruoye asked me to bring a jar of water, just like last time, she scooped up a handful of water, walked up to the little boy, and poured it on the section of his severed limb.

I can feel the eyes of many people looking at Taki Wakaba. Taki Wakaba is undoubtedly a rare beauty. As long as he is a man, his eyes will fall on her involuntarily, wanting to contact her, or even just looking at her. Instantly blushes.

Even the little boy just quietly accepted Taki Ruoye's actions, without any resistance from strangers.When Taki Wakaba poured water on the severed limb, I also opened my eyes wide. Will the miracle I was expecting happen?

I saw granulation growing rapidly on the severed limb, and in an instant, the bones, muscles, blood vessels, and then the skin were all intact.

The little boy himself was frightened by the sight and let out a cry. There seemed to be no pain in the emotion revealed in that cry, but surprise.He moved his newly grown fingers in disbelief, and then happily showed his intact right hand to his mother: "Mom! Look! My hand is back!"

The crowd suddenly became commotion. I was afraid that they would think that Taki Ruoye was a heretic, so I quickly wanted to explain to her, but I didn't expect that they all fell to their knees on the ground in the next second, bowing down and begging Taki Ruoye, and some even cried bitterly. snot.

"Gods and Buddhas! Did the gods and Buddhas finally hear our prayers?"

"In this world where ghosts and gods are rampant, and gods and Buddhas can't protect the world, is there finally a god who is willing to respond to us?"

"Master Miko, please help me!"

Yes, I suddenly realized that if I discarded my suspicions about the various mysteries held by Taki Wakaba, Taki Wakaba itself is the embodiment of a spotless, noble and pious witch.

Taki Ruoye healed all the injured villagers. The villagers took out their precious fruits and meat, and wanted to repay Taki Ruoye without reservation, but Taki Ruoye only asked for seeds in return.

When we left the village, all the villagers saw them off at the entrance of the village. Their eyes were eager, full of expectations and prayers. I had never seen such sparkling eyes in them. Those eyes used to reflect only sorrowful tears.

I heard someone yelling "Heavenly Knowledge Girl" enthusiastically, is that Taki Ruoye?Taki Ruoye didn't tell them her name, they didn't expect them to give her a nickname so quickly.

"Heavenly Wisdom Girl" literally refers to a woman who knows the will of God. Miko is a profession that listens to the will of the gods and conveys the words of the gods. This title is very good.

I don't know why, but my heart is also relaxed. It hasn't been so relaxed for a long time, as if there is nothing worth worrying about, just walking lightly on the road.

In the troubled times, many things are incomplete, incomplete limbs, incomplete families, incomplete villages, everything you see is incomplete, and even the beauty that is worth touching has disappeared.

Taki Wakaba itself is a breathtaking beauty, but under her beautiful appearance, there is something more shining.

"Where are you going next?" I asked Xiang Taki Ruoye, I was so curious.

"I want to travel around the world, see the world, and at the same time help this child get back his missing organs."

Traveling around the world in this troubled world is very dangerous, but the person who said this is Taki Wakaba, and I have no reason to refute her.

"I'm going to move to another place to live."

My apprentice is leaving, and the villagers have all been healed. I should go to a place where I am needed more.

But I feel lost in my heart, a person like Taki Ruoye, once seen, can never be forgotten, will I still see her in the future?What was she like then?

My body felt the coolness bit by bit. I raised my head, and it turned out to be the long-lost rain. All the people who saw the rain came out, running wildly and cheering in the rain.

The originally sluggish rice fields are also shining under the moisture of the rain.

I turned around suddenly, Taki Ruoye was gone, and I suddenly remembered what she said to me:

"Do you want to heal the world?"

"It's the wind. The wind blows the diseased air to all directions."

I also ran wildly in the rain, I rushed into the woods, walked to the depths, came to the wooden house where Taki Wakaba once lived, and then continued to walk inside.

After passing through the dense forest, we came to the edge of the cliff, and what rushed into our eyes was an open plain.

I have heard that two armies are fighting near here, but I have never been to this battlefield in person. It turns out that this battlefield is here, and I couldn't help but kneel down.

When I was a samurai, I nailed living captives to gallows. The captives would howl for days and then die a horrific death, their corpses rotting on the gallows, and the Take their eyeballs and carrion.

The battlefield left after the battle was stinky and scarlet, but only the moist and gentle wind was left on this battlefield.

There was a simple wooden board erected on the soil, and a white cloth was tied to it. Even though there was no word on it, I could tell that it was a tombstone.

It is not a wooden frame soaked in blood, but a tombstone standing on a peaceful land.

I couldn't help crying bitterly. No matter how many prosthetic limbs I made, I still bear the guilt in my heart, but I was redeemed in front of this empty wooden board.

The rain washed my face, washing away my tears and filth.

Taki Wakaba is the one who wants everyone to be happy. If it is her, she will definitely bring happiness to everyone.

I wiped away my tears and ran towards the direction Taki Wakaba left, feeling very happy and sober in my heart.

I also have things that I can do. I can make exquisite prosthetics, so that the child can move freely before finding the organs;

I didn't even think about whether Taki Wakaba would go to other roads, nor whether a mortal could catch up with the immortal's pace, I just ran tirelessly until I saw the standing figure.

It was Taki Wakaba who was holding a baby in one hand and a sword wrapped in red silk in the other. She looked at me and smiled as if she saw a date: "I always feel that I should stop and wait before starting. It seems It was a really good decision.”

"Am I worth that?" I asked breathlessly.

"How should I put it? If I miss a partner like you, I will feel very sorry."

My heart settled down, and I walked beside Taki Ruoye naturally, without asking where her next destination was, but just started our journey.

Few people know what happened to that lord before, and I was by her side before that lord became a monarch.

Some people think that the excellence of a king is honed in the process of fighting for hegemony, but that lord has been so beautiful from the beginning.
