"Come to me."

Taki Wakaba immediately threw out a handful of seeds from his bosom, and the blood-stained seeds grew rapidly, and intertwined blood-colored vines formed a safe secret room, isolating the soil and light, protecting the five people locked in it.

"What's going on? We didn't trigger any mechanism, how could the explosive explode for no reason?" Ziye inserted the demon knife Silee into the ground in order to stabilize his figure amidst the strong shaking.

"...There are people up there." Hyakkimaru looked towards the dark sky above.

"Go and see, who will come to this deserted cape." Taki Wakaba controlled the vines to prop up the buried soil, and the light was revealed from the gap opened by the vines.

"Cough, cough, cough." Duobaowan coughed violently in the falling dust.

Cape Shiratoku is not big, but it is not small. Tahomaru walked along the road of Cape Shirato, but did not see Taki Wakaba and the others.The mountainside of Cape Baigu was covered by bushes again, so Duobaomaru wanted to go to the top of the mountain to have a look.

A row of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statues are enshrined on a plane cut out of the top of the mountain, which have been eroded by wind, frost, rain and snow and are blurred.Duobaowan felt something, and thought of the headless Bodhisattva enshrined by his mother, "Do you really still exist? Even you have become like this, is your strength no longer comparable to ghosts and gods?"

He put his hand on a Bodhisattva statue. He didn't know it was because of the slippery ground. The stone statue, which looked stable, actually slipped to the hillside due to his small push, and a series of stone statues all slid down.

Before Duobaowan could react, the explosives hidden under the stone statue also exploded, and the ground sank, and Duobaowan fell down before it could escape.

"What a narrow-minded Bodhisattva..."

Duobaowan complained, he opened his eyes in the dust, and saw a woman in white sleeves walking in front of him among the scattered vines.

He remembered what the black-skinned boy had said to him.

"Let me tell you one more thing, Tianzhinv is a great beauty, as long as you see her, you will know that she is Tianzhinv."

"...Are you a woman of heavenly knowledge?" Duobaowan stood up in the chaos and asked Xiang Taki Ruoye.

"Before asking who others are, please state your own name first." Lian Haidu said first.

On the way, I also ran into two people from the Daigo Kingdom, why did they all recognize Taki Wakaba?

"..." Duobaowan looked at the tall and tall Lianhaidu, Adi who was wrapped in white silk on his back, Ziye who was holding a dagger in his hand, and the man whose hands were made of prosthetic limbs and whose eyes The godless boy, he should be the Hyakkimaru that his father said, "My name is Tahomaru, the son of Daigo Keimitsu, and the successor of this country."

After saying this, Duobao Wan could clearly sense that the atmosphere had changed.

"Are you here to find me?" Taki Ruoye asked.

"Correct."

"How did you know I was here?"

"There is a black-skinned boy on the cliff outside, he told me your whereabouts." Seeing Lian Haidu's intriguing eyes, Duobaowan added, "I came alone, no one knows I'm here."

"You say this here, do you know what it means?" Taki Wakaba looked at Dabaomaru's figure, he and Hyakkimaru did look somewhat similar.

"It's like washing your neck and putting it in front of you, I know, but I want to know the truth about that incident 14 years ago."

"Really? Have you seen Biwamaru and Oden Tai Mitsuyo?"

"If you're talking about the old monk with the lute on his back and the tall blue-haired samurai."

"Yes, it's them."

"They have already told the truth. Now that you know the truth, what do you want to ask?" Taki Ruoye glanced at Hyakkimaru, who was staring at Duobaowan in a daze.

"Is it reasonable to do so?" Duobaowan took a deep breath and asked what was in his heart.

This sentence has no beginning and no end, but Taki Ruoye understood his entanglement, she looked at Duobaomaru and smiled, "It seems that you are not similar to your father."

"My mother...that is, Hyakkimaru's mother, she always remembers Hyakkimaru." Duobaowan looked a little uncomfortable when he mentioned Mrs. Sui.

No matter what he did, what kind of prey he hunted, how much progress he made in swordsmanship, and how much he grew taller, his mother always had a calm expression, and continued to kneel in front of the headless Bodhisattva statue to pray.That is praying for Hyakkimaru.

"...My mother is not her." This is the first sentence Hyakkimaru said to Duobaowan.

"Duobaowan." When Duobaowan was thinking about how to reply Baiguiwan with a complex expression, Taki Wakaba asked, "Do you think ghosts and gods will do business at a loss?"

"...No, but if they abide by the contract, it can be considered."

"Contract, do you mean the bait on the hook? The reason why ghosts and gods have kept the contract so far is because they haven't eaten all the hyakki pills. Back then, the hundred ghost pills were blessed by the power of gods and Buddhas, and the last ghost and god didn't eat him. His organs were sealed. Hyakkimaru survived because of this. Everything the ghosts and gods have done so far is to take away everything from Hyakkimaru. Anyone who believes in the contract with ghosts and gods is just a fish biting the bait. "

"If ghosts and gods got everything in Hyakkimaru, would they do terrible things?"

"In fact, they are already doing it. The Daigo country has been corrupted by the power of ghosts and gods. It only takes one day for the power to grow and break out of the ground in Daigo's greenhouse. You will all become its fertilizer."

"...Why haven't these words been spoken to Father?"

"He can't wait to dedicate the hundred ghost pills to the ghosts and gods now. He has no intention of turning back. What the ghosts and gods have given you so far is all favors, right?"

"Yes, my father said, Daigo 14 years ago was not even considered a suitable place to live."

"The only thing left of Hyakkimaru is his hands and eyes, do you know how I got his organs back?"

"You killed ghosts and gods. Every time you kill a ghost, a natural disaster will occur in Daigo." Dabaomaru replied.

"Among these ghosts and gods, some have reached an agreement with the villagers to eat travelers passing by; Everyone who fell into the water. They are all wreaking havoc in other countries, but they are not citizens of your Daigo, and you probably don’t care about their life or death. This is completely beneficial to the Daigo country.” Taki Ruo Ye chuckled lightly, "The Daigo Kingdom regards me as a monster, but your neighbor Asakura calls you the 'Kingdom of Monsters', isn't it appropriate? A country that regards others as monsters has become a nourishing country." The greenhouse of ghosts and gods."

"...Then what should we do? How can we get rid of the control of ghosts and gods."

"The contract between Daigo Jingguang and the ghosts and gods has been established. The most straightforward thing is to find out the remaining ghosts and gods and kill them all. But—" Taki Wakaba mocked as if thinking of something funny, "Daigo Jingguang To do something like this is truly incredible.”

"Isn't that what you're doing? You've been hunting ghosts and gods."

"The remaining ghosts and gods that I haven't found are probably going to hide for a lifetime. For me, it's faster to flatten Daigo and find the remaining four ghosts and gods." Taki Ruoye glanced at them for more Baomaru's changed expression, "You don't have to show that expression, isn't it a matter of course? Joining Daigo who has the power to defeat Asakura, Daigo Jingguang will launch a war against Isui without even thinking about it. Since you are The heirs of this country will not be ignorant of this truth."

Duobaowan knew in his heart that even though they were chatting like two strangers who met each other at the moment, as soon as this conversation was over, they were still enemies.

"I will personally investigate this matter. If it is true, I will cut off the minions of ghosts and gods and protect this country by myself."

"This is contrary to your father's philosophy. What are you going to do?"

"...haven't thought about it yet, but I'll do it."

"Your father is a loser, but his two sons are good men. Do you have anything else to say?"

"..." Duobaowan was silent for a while, "Miss Tianzhi, if you didn't exist, I'm afraid, like my father, I would believe in the contract with ghosts and gods, thinking that killing my blood relatives is for Dayi. The glimmer of hope that my mother never gave up is also because of you. I hope you can break this difficult and unreasonable situation. Thank you for pointing me to the maze, but one day, we will meet each other on the battlefield. At that time, we must have One side will make a decision. Even if you have superhuman strength, as Daigo's heir, I will not back down, and I will still raise my sword against you."

"Hyakkimaru...my brother." Tahomaru turned to Hyakkimaru, "You can't stay in Daigo, my...your mother always wanted to see you, but it's impossible .I will tell my mother what happened today. Do you have anything to say to her? She has always missed you very much. She is not as powerful as the Heavenly Conscientious Woman, so she has no way to keep you, but her mood—"

"Wakaba didn't raise me because I was strong." Hyakkimaru interrupted the other person's words in a rare way, causing waves in his usual calm tone, "There are many powerful people in this world, and because they are strong, they should Do they do those things? So even those things they do should be underestimated? Tahomaru, my mother Taki Wakaba, she is indeed very strong. But her mood of raising me will never let me You shouldn't compare them to her biological mother, she's not as good as my mother."
