Chapter 130 A World of Only Two People (bushi
"The Age Tree, it is indeed magical..."
Going back in time, standing not far from the main hall of the Higurashi Shrine, looking up, the appearance of the tree seems to be exactly the same as that of the Warring States Period 500 years ago. There is no obvious change, it is a very tall and lush tree. , Gu Mo expressed such emotion.
In a world where the full moon in the sky covers the earth and illuminates the dark purple moonlight.
In time when everything is frozen in amber.
This god tree seems to be no different from ordinary trees, it still looks green and green, when the wind blows, the branches and leaves will be luxuriant, and it will make a rustling sound... At first glance, it seems to be quite normal , but in fact it is the most abnormal place.
The wind is abnormal, and the tree is abnormal. Of course, the main reason is undoubtedly the latter, and the former is probably an additional phenomenon derived from the abnormality of the latter.
"By the way, why is it called the time tree? Is it because its power can span the era?"
Looking at Kikyo next to him, Gu Mo asked curiously.
"Probably so..."
Under the moonlight, it looked even more deserted. Standing in front of the god tree with a quiet temperament, the witch nodded calmly when she heard the words, and said softly: "In Fengzhi Village, the god tree has existed a long time ago, at least in our It was like this when I practiced, and there have been related legends, although I don't know when it was passed down..."
"It is said that the Shenmu has incredible power. No matter what kind of creature it is, if it is sealed under this tree, its body will not decay with the passage of time, but it will be able to travel to the next era across time. That's why named..."
"So that's the case." Gu Mo nodded, thoughtfully, "I thought your village had discovered that the power of this tree can connect different eras."
"Of course not...Even the Well of Bone Eaters, we didn't understand why the corpses of monsters thrown into it disappeared."
Kikyo shook his head lightly. Thinking about it now, it is probably because the power of the Age Tree can connect different eras, and the Well of Bone Eater was built from the wood of the Age Tree, and it is near the body of the Age Tree, so it is inexplicably capable of time travel. The ability of time and space.
The corpse of any monster thrown into this well will soon disappear without a trace, not really being swallowed by the well itself, but drifting to other times.
But at the time, she would not have thought of such a thing, it was taken for granted.
Another strange wind blew, and the sacred tree rustled.
500 years ago, people in the village guarded the sacred tree all the time, and 500 years later, the sacred tree was the sacred tree in the Higurashi Shrine. Shimenawa and paper hanging were added to the trunk, and a fence was added around it. ...Well, the treatment seems to have always been so good, as long as the people living in this land seem to attach great importance to it.
"Then I probably understand... um, shall I do it now?"
Gu Mo nodded, and then asked.
"Wait a minute..."
Kikyo glanced at him calmly, then took two steps forward, approaching the trunk of the sacred tree, carefully stepped over the fence, then stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the surface of the sacred tree, closing his eyes slightly.
"..."
"..."
"Okay."
After a while, she turned around, looked at the person behind her with her eyes like autumn water, and said calmly.
"That's it?" Gu Mo couldn't help being suspicious.
"Shenmu agrees...but you have to be gentle, don't hurt the trunk of the tree." Kikyo said seriously, telling him like this, it seems that he is not at ease, "We are just asking for a little wood, you don't want to Thinking of cutting down the whole tree."
"How come, I don't need you to tell me about this..."
Gu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, he would not do such a thing of fishing in a dry lake, although he was indeed very envious of the ultra-rare wood of this tree, after all, it was definitely an unimaginably precious material.
He looked up at the tall sacred tree in front of him. This time, there was no wind, but the tree was automatic without wind, and also made a soft rustling sound... The amazing thing is that Gu Mo really felt that he seemed to understand The other party's emotions, the emotions conveyed by a tree, also understood what Kikyo said that it agreed.
Why is the situation completely different from when I wanted to get materials from it before.
Gu Mo felt that he was discriminated against.
However, he no longer struggled, and took a step forward to prepare to collect materials, while moving the five fingers of his right hand... Maybe it was the feeling and convenience brought by the transformation into a monster several times. He subconsciously prepared to use his claws to collect materials. This is much more flexible and convenient than a sword or something.
After a while, seeing a slightly thick wooden branch lying on the ground, Kikyo didn't say much.
Although there is more wood than is needed to make the scabbard, but...
It's still a sense of proportion.
"Let's go." She said softly, and glanced at the ancestral hall not far away again.
…………
Mount Fuji.
Located about [-] kilometers southwest of Tokyo, Japan, it is an active volcano that straddles Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures and is the highest peak in Japan.This solitary, often snow-covered stratovolcano rises above villages and forested seas and lakes, with towering mountains and snow-capped peaks.
Because it is very iconic, of course it is impossible to misjudge the direction.
If it is only more than 80 kilometers, it is not too far away, so there is no problem in traveling.It's just that the two of them are not in a hurry... It's not right to say that, and it can't be said that they are not in a hurry. If possible, Kikyo naturally hopes to solve this matter as soon as possible.
But she is not a reckless and impulsive person, so she naturally listened to Gu Mo's suggestion——
Stopping time on the earth seems to be the same as destroying everything on the earth, but in fact there is still a big difference.Direct destruction is an almost irreversible process, if it is not stopped before the destruction comes, then it is meaningless.
But now it's different...
Shen Jiuye's sky-defying spell is to stop the flow of time. If she is not solved, the history of this world will come to an end.But as long as she is solved, time will resume to flow, and everything will be as if it never happened. People whose time is stopped will not even notice the time stop.
Shen Jiuye took away the time of the whole world...
And they who can also act in this eternal night are equivalent to having unlimited time.
So there is no need to rush to the door to race against time, this is not the pursuit of speedrunning, and there is only one chance, there is no need to take risks at all... They can be as prepared as possible, even if it is just an extra point of preparation, it is an extra bit Point odds.
So after approaching Mount Fuji, the two slowed down.
Now...
In a town that is also illuminated by the moonlight, Gu Mo sat in front of a cold drink shop on a certain street, watching the witch across the table quietly making handicrafts, and the simple and simple A brand new wooden sheath, like the scabbard of a knife, is gradually taking shape under her hands.
However, Gu Mo didn't pay attention to this. Instead, he sat on the opposite side in a leisurely manner, quietly admiring the appearance of the witch with one hand resting on his chin.
Although this is the modern world, it is not the village of the Warring States Period.
What's more, what hangs in the sky is also a mysterious and huge full moon, not the afternoon sun just right in midsummer.
But it gave him the same feeling, that is, during that time, he was wandering around the village every day, and the witch would come to deliver food to him in the afternoon, and the two sat on the hillside in the shade. and trees make noise.
But it looked more quiet that way, and the witch was also silent... He liked that kind of atmosphere, and it seems to be the same now.
"...Is there something on my face?"
Kikyo's calm voice sounded.
"No." Gu Mo blinked.
The witch lowered her eyes and said nothing, as if she was concentrating all her attention on her hand, but she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, especially when she talked about a certain topic not long ago... Even she couldn't completely His heart was like still water, pretending that nothing happened.
Some things that she would not have cared about before, but now she inevitably cares a little bit, and her mood does not seem to be too peaceful.
My heart is a little messed up...
She lowered her head, sighed silently, and said, "If it's like what you said before, the material used for the scabbard of this magic sword is the branch of a big monster that is more than 2000 years old. If so, then the power of the Shenmu is still relatively weak..."
"Is that so..."
Gu Mo nodded, it was rather strange that the witch would continue to talk to him.
According to the rules he has long been used to, Kikyo should fall into a long silence again, if he doesn't make a sound, he may not say a word for a long time... Is it not as calm as it seems on the surface? , so subconsciously want to divert attention?
After guessing like this, he pretended to be thinking seriously, and asked, "Is this kind of scabbard enough?"
"With the characteristics of Shenmu, if I set a seal again, it should be possible... at least it is much better than the old scabbard, which is already unable to hold it." The witch said softly, and glanced at the Quaint straight knife.
"That's right, I really can't hold on anymore..." An old and tired voice came from the scabbard. The spirit of the scabbard has sealed Cong Yunya alone for 700 years. It has been working hard and overloaded, but No amount of dedication can change the fact.
The magic sword is immortal, but the wooden scabbard is not.
Moreover, in the long-term confrontation, the power of the sheath was basically exhausted.
The witch considered that the power of this magic sword was indeed needed to fight against the demon who had captured all the celestial maidens, but she could not ignore the danger of the magic sword itself, so she decided to change the scabbard before going to fight Shen Jiuye. Already... the spirit in the scabbard is also very much in favor of this.
There is no feeling of grief and indignation that he was killed and killed. Instead, he wished that this matter could be done sooner, because he really couldn't hold it anymore.
"There is still some wood left, Kikyo, do you want to make a bow or something..."
Looking at the wood next to him, Gu Mo asked.
Although I am sorry to go too far, it is more than enough to make a scabbard... The wood of the Tree of Ages is indeed an ultra-rare material. According to the system's explanation, it is "wood that contains the power of mysterious time and space", and its quality is very high. It's gold level.
But materials are just materials after all, if they can't be turned into finished equipment, it's meaningless, and he didn't do it for pure collection value.
Cong Yunya's new scabbard is a must, and the rest can be used to update Kikyo's weapons and equipment... Anyway, she is a teammate, and her equipment score has increased, which is equivalent to a direct increase in team strength. Naturally, it is very useful good.
"This part of the wood is not suitable for making bows, but I can make some arrows..." Kikyo replied calmly.
Shen Jiuye must be defeated so that the world can continue to flow, so she will not be rash.
If it is really impossible to kill, she has made a perfect plan, even if it is necessary to seal the other party with the sealing arrow... Although the seal is strictly speaking, after all, it is an act of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, which is tantamount to leaving the problem alone. For future generations to solve.
But anyway, there is still a chance for this world to have a future, instead of stopping abruptly now.
"That's fine too, it's cheap for a long time..."
Gu Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, then looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
"Speaking of which, eternal night..."
He couldn't help expressing such emotions, Shen Jiuye's spell is indeed extremely against the sky, it can turn the whole earth into a secret room, so that the night can come forever... Probably it really belongs to the power brought to her by the celestial girl, belongs to The power and power of "Night Eater and Moon God" cannot be what a monster should have.
Therefore, the clues provided by Kikyo are very valuable, and it is probably the truth——
The body of the celestial girl devoured by Shen Jiuye was created by Yue Yejian, one of the three noble sons, and imitated her own human form, so it has the characteristics and power of the master of the night...
However, if the eternal night comes, although it seems to be beneficial for Shen Jiuya to dominate the world, but from another perspective, does it mean that his mask is also a cheat?The mask belonging to the night walker can only be used at night, but now... it will always be night?
"what happened?"
Kikyo looked at him suspiciously, as if this man had any special thoughts?
She had also seen that mask, but she didn't see why, and that thing had no power at all during the day, so she naturally didn't know how powerful it was... Anyway, it was outrageous.
"nothing……"
Gu Mo shook his head. Frankly speaking, he still hopes to directly blast the fantasy city with the magic sword, or wait until the protagonist group arrives, and adopt the righteous way of "you don't have to talk about morals with this kind of evil, let's go together" , is also a good choice.
The only thing is that I don't want to use the last method of suppressing the bottom of the box. After all, who knows what kind of madness I will go, especially in front of Kikyo.
Kikyo frowned slightly, as if he was slightly displeased with his concealment. If it was about other things, she didn't have to care, but if it was about the next thing to face, about the spell that created this phenomenon, the information about Shen Jiuye And so on, she still hopes that this person will not hide it.
Raising his fist to his mouth, Gu Mo noticed the expression of the witch, and the thoughts in his mind turned quickly: "Actually, there is really nothing, I just sigh with emotion about this eternal night..."
"What is there to be emotional about? The moonlight is so beautiful?"
The witch was noncommittal, and said lightly, she was so perceptive, and naturally knew that this person was not telling the truth, and she did not believe that this person was really simply admiring the moonlight and night scenery.
"..."
"..."
Gu Mo was taken aback for a moment, then laughed dumbly and shook his head again and again.
"?" The witch tilted her head and looked at him with some doubts. Did she say something wrong?
Gu Mo didn't explain, nor did he tell the truth about his initial thoughts, he just restrained his smile, and diverted the witch's attention with serious nonsense:
"Actually, I think this night is too strange. After all, time in the whole world has stopped. Only me and Kikyo can continue to move in this world... Think about it, in a sense, is this the only The world of the two of us?"
The witch was slightly taken aback.
This man is talking nonsense again!
She turned her head and said calmly, "Stop joking...and isn't Shen Jiuye also in this world?"
The corner of Gu Mo's mouth twitched, it was really the case, he subconsciously ignored the instigator.
"...I'll kill her after a while."
……
……
Mount Fuji, Lake Motosu.
Among the fantasy city.
"how is this possible……"
Elegant and gorgeous, like a princess in the heavenly palace, at this moment, her face is gloomy, as if she is about to breathe fire, staring at the image displayed in the mirror in front of her, the one she hates so much that she is gnashing her teeth The witch, and that nasty big monster, were talking and laughing.
But, but... that priestess is a dead person, so it's understandable that she wasn't affected by the spell, so why is that guy able to move normally.
Isn't he also the existence of this world?
Immediately afterwards, she seemed to have noticed something, and her face became even more embarrassing. As her thoughts turned sharply, the image in the mirror blurred and became clear again, but in the big city before, a family occupied In the huge shrine, the ancestral hall was blown apart, and a group of people were nervously confronting the gorgeous nobleman on the opposite side, talking loudly.
"One, two, three..."
Shen Jiuye counted with an ugly face, regarding the number of these guys who just appeared suddenly...
