The honest person is you

-16-

The reason why Gojo and the Zen Temple came to Suruga Castle is because of Suruga Daiinogen's status on the one hand, and on the other hand, because he really believed what you said.

But you are deceiving them.

Those delicate green shoots grow roots and stems in their flesh and blood, and finally break out of the skin. The human body is the most fertile "soil" at this moment.

Unlimited spells and ten kinds of shadow spells burst out like fireworks, and that powerful force goes straight to you and Tokugawa Tadacho.

But your control of "Qi" has already reached an incomparably subtle state, and between heaven and earth, even in the air, there are endless "Qi".

The power they erupted at the last moment of their lives was wrapped by the "qi" you released before reaching the target.Fear and fanaticism intertwined on Tokugawa Tadaga's face, he stretched out his arms excitedly, and let out a strange laugh or scream.

Those two surges of mantra power are controlled by you, twisted, compressed, and finally rise into the sky, making a huge explosion sound—it's just like extremely gorgeous fireworks.

Tokugawa Tadaga laughed wildly, he almost shed tears because of this, muttering in his mouth that you are indeed a real immortal.

"Immortal..." Tokugawa Tadachang wept with joy, he asked when you could successfully refine the immortal medicine.

You glanced at his ugliness, and told him that he only needs to refine these raw materials into outer pills.

"The raw materials this time will definitely be able to refine a very high-quality "Dan". "

Countless corpses piled up, and the flowers that grew out of their flesh and blood bloomed into an extremely beautiful scene.Tokugawa Tadaga was deeply immersed in the illusion created by the fragrance of flowers, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Tokugawa Tadaga is useless to you, you don't even look at him anymore, you go straight to the two "flowers" in the hall.

The reason why he failed in the conversion of the two-faced Su Nuo at the beginning was because the conversion speed was too slow, and he was left for too long in the process-the same mistake, you will never make it a second time.

Zenyuan and Wujo have been completely transformed into "flowers".

The "six eyes" of the Gotiao family are said to be able to analyze all spells, but they can't see through your soul. The body of a fairy is composed of the purest "qi", which is a flawless body beyond human understanding.

And you have a more powerful soul than anyone else, that's why you can leave your body and use this "celestial" body to move outside.

You took away these raw materials for alchemy, and as for Suruga Dai Nayan, it is completely out of your consideration.

……

……

Suruga Dainaga said that Tokugawa Tadaga was brutal and inhumane, and ordered the head of Gojo and the head of the Buddhist monastery to have an imperial contest in Suruga City. As a result, the two died together, with no bones left.

Oddly enough, Tokugawa Tadacho also became delirious after that.

You who returned to your original body heard these things in the Kamo family's mansion.

Because of Tokugawa Tadaga's insanity, coupled with the tragic death of the other two patriarchs of the three imperial clans in the magic world, Patriarch Kamo, who was originally summoned for the imperial trial, escaped unharmed.

And you, who also participated in it and promoted Tokugawa Tadaga's brutal acts, did not leave any traces at all-no one knew that you were in it.

Occasionally someone mentioned the fairy "Longsuo" from Penglai, but there was no spark. No one cares whether the "immortal" is a real immortal or a fake liar.

In the tenth year of Kanei (1633), Tokugawa Tadachou committed seppuku in the Shunfu clan, and the "Jacaoto" came from the beheading family "Yamada Asemon".

This matter seemed to end like this, but the impact of the matter was far from enough to reach the end.

Even if the "Qi" of those conjurers who are regarded as the pinnacle of this generation are used to refine the outer alchemy, it is far from enough to make a panacea for bringing the dead back to life.

The future that you can't forget the end makes you think about Penglai again.

In the hundred years since then, strange ships have been stranded on the shore one after another, and they came to the world with exotic flowers and plants, and you ordered people to take back those "flowers" before the news spread, and at the same time went to Penglai's preparations.

Until now, you are still not sure that you can face Mrs. Bian directly.

You think of the past, your reaction when you knew she was refining alchemy, and your feeling of trying to tell the master to stop her...

Abe Seimei said, you should think of your true self.

But the "real self" in the past is enough to make you feel ashamed now.

You have more power and more subtle control over your chi, but you feel no joy or satisfaction at all.

In your chest, there is only that empty heart.

Just like this, he kept hesitating and waiting... More than a hundred years later, Tokugawa Qiqing, the No.11 general of the shogunate, accidentally heard about this spectacle of flesh and blood. The remains were removed earlier.

The general said with a smile on his face that such a wonderful scene must come from a paradise where immortals live.

"There must also be an immortal medicine there." The general concluded in this way.

He first sent several groups of investigation teams to the "Taoyuan Township", but most of them died there, and the few who would come were covered with flowers and plants like the original remains. Unrecognizable.

So the general ordered people to escort the death row prisoners from all over the country, and ordered them to go to "Taoyuan Township" under the temptation that the imperial court would issue "exemption certificates" to the death row prisoners who finally brought back the elixir of life.

In order to prevent these death row prisoners from absconding, the general sent the Yamada Asemon family, a family of beheaders, to escort them.

Because of this accident, you also had to make up your mind to join the team in the body of a "celestial being", and went to the dry lake with them.

After hundreds of years, you finally come to this place that you once regarded as your "home" again.

……

……

The island is full of exotic flowers and plants, butterflies are flying, the fragrance of flowers permeates the entire dry lake, and there is an ethereal chanting sound from a distance... that was the sound you were most familiar with.

"Dao Chong, but use it or it won't make a profit. Abyss, like the ancestor of all things."*

Recalling the past, you can't help but utter a voice, the voice is very soft, but it can still be heard by people's sharp ears-Chijuan, who is known as the "cannibal oiran", asks you what this means.

"Tianxian" has a beautiful appearance, and there is no fixed gender. By adjusting the "Qi" in the body, the transformation between male and female can be freely realized.

For the convenience of movement, when using the "celestial" body, you have always shown yourself as a man.

This beautiful oiran shows a seductive gesture in front of you, and she sticks to your ear and asks if you know anything.

"Tell me too..."

You ignore her.

Chi Juan, who was frustrated in front of you, doesn't take it seriously. She is very aware of her beauty and is good at using this unique advantage.The red silk was quickly pasted on other people, and this time, she was not rejected.

Others are humans who have landed on the island for the first time. They don't know what kind of place it is, and they don't know the entrance to Penglai.Half of this group of people are the beheaders of the imperial court, and the other half are death row prisoners who have been arrested. They have different hearts, and there are many people with evil intentions.

While they are discussing how to explore the island, you have found your way into Penglai.At the same time, through the flow of "qi", you have discovered the "celestial beings" who are active on this island.

At the beginning, the master only created two "celestial beings", and he named them "Lian" and "Mei".Mei's "ovule" was incomplete from the beginning, so she was unable to switch her gender and could only maintain her female form.

The other celestial beings were bred again later, when you and Mei took care of these newborn "celestial beings", she always looked at you with a hesitant expression.

You ask her if there's anything wrong, but she just hangs her head and doesn't say a word.

You have no interest in things other than "Tao", so you don't pay any attention to her.

You can feel Mei's "Qi" here again, but the location is not Penglai in the center, but the village in the middle where Tianyuan used to live, that is, the "abbot".

Her "Qi" is so weak.

You wanted to see her, not because you cared about her so much, you just wanted to know about Mrs. Bian's current situation through her, but there are several people around you—you came in as a beheader, so There is also a death row prisoner to be guarded. In addition, they have just discussed and decided to let two beheaders lead two death row prisoners to form a small team so that they can explore the island separately.

The one with you is Tongma, a swordsman genius who passed the trial of Yamada Dojo in one month, and the prisoner he is in charge of is the "thief king" Azuo Diaobei.

Their true colors were revealed after you were separated from the larger group.Tongma's real name is Azuma Kirima. He and Azuo Diaobei are brothers. In order to find a chance to rescue his brother, he sneaked into the Yamada Dojo a month ago.

The prisoner you guarded was killed by their joint efforts.

"There is only one certificate of exemption. Anyway, this kind of trash fish can't get the elixir. It's better to die now."

Asa Kirima, who has a girl-like soft face, said that to you with a smile.

You already know their true identities, so they can't tolerate you anymore, but just when they are about to join forces to get rid of you, the dragon god on this island appears.

The Buddha-faced monster, the arm with the rosary, and—

"Killing is a sin."

Words of judgment or mercy flowed out from the mouths of the dragon gods. They said that everything in the world has life, so all living beings should do good deeds to accumulate virtue.

Yazuo Tongma's complexion changed slightly: "What are these..."

You tell them: "They are the dragon gods, the guardians of Kuze. All people who go to the island will be judged by them and will be kept here forever."

"You really are not an ordinary person," Yazuo Diaobingwei said, "Since you came to the island, your behavior has been completely different from other people."

As a thief, Azuo Diaobei has exceptionally keen observation and adaptability.

The brothers who just a moment ago were trying to kill you are now inviting you to join their ranks.

You glanced at them with neither sorrow nor joy, and the gods gathered around you, and you just walked past these dry marsh guards, and they turned a blind eye to your actions.

This is because they have identified your "Qi" and judged you as "Heavenly Immortal".

Ignoring the pair of brothers, you went straight to the village where May was.
