Just as Tokichiro said, he and Mino overlord Douzan Saito can indeed talk.
Although this is a connection established by selling spiritual stones in the past, it also shows that he is indeed outstanding. Otherwise, Saito Douzan would not look down upon him... In this era, not all businessmen can
You can meet the leader of a city or a country if you want.
Soon after being informed, a group of three people were quickly summoned to go to the white three-story and five-story castle tower. The Mino Viper was waiting for them on the top floor.
"Master Daosan is still very majestic. Although he may have gotten older in recent years and started to cultivate his moral character, you should also know his nickname..." Tokichiro followed the servant who led the way, while lowering his voice softly.
He told the two people behind him, "So it's best to be respectful, at least don't lose etiquette."
"Yeah, I understand..."
Gu Mo followed the team in front, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice, while looking around curiously, looking at the interior decoration of the castle tower.
This is the highest, most important and most representative part of the Japanese castle. It has the functions of lookout and command, and is also one of the symbols of power in the feudal era. However, he has only heard of it before, but has never seen it.
Unexpectedly, my first visit was not with a tour group...
——But in this case...
——Accurately come to this corresponding historical period...
It was a somewhat strange feeling, and it also gave him an indescribable excitement, as if every cell in his body was jumping for joy... It was because of everything in front of him, but not entirely, and also about other worlds in the future.
The expectation of magnificent scenery.
If there are no accidents, each copy will be a new world waiting for him to explore, full of unknowns and adventures...
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, exotic mountains and rivers, fantasy and reality, history and myth... the list goes on and on.
How could this make him not feel excited?
Ah, sure enough! Compared with the boring and boring reality, this gorgeous and magical experience is more interesting! Thinking of this, Gu Mo couldn't help but have such a thought flashing through his mind, and then some doubts and uneasiness in his heart
As a result, it disappeared in an instant and ceased to exist, making his eyebrows feel much more relaxed.
Because he originally had a bit of a broken mentality. After all, when he woke up, he was already far away from Shisan Sakura Village. It was unrealistic to leave, so he could only accept the fact.
But in the final analysis, there are still some worries in my heart. For example, I am worried about the time flow rate in the real world when I am in the dungeon world, I am worried about how long it will take to go back, and I am worried about what I may face after I go back.
All kinds of troubles...
But at this moment, he suddenly had an idea. Since some things were a foregone conclusion, no matter how hard he struggled, they would not change. No matter what troubles he would have after going back, they would all be faced later.
It is more important to focus on your current situation.
——Besides, it may not be that troublesome. As long as I don’t disappear for too long, maybe no one will find out about it.
People need to be self-aware. There are not so many people who care about you every day and always pay attention to what you are doing. Even good friends do not have so much time and energy in the high intensity and fast pace of modern society, and they often need it.
We can only contact you occasionally after a while.
Fujiyoshiro didn't know that his new partner had suddenly figured out something, and his mentality became a lot more open-minded. He just looked back with some worry, and suddenly felt worried.
Did this new partner listen to me? Although he nodded and agreed happily, his response of only um um ah ah seemed a bit perfunctory.
And judging from the way the other party was looking around with interest, it seemed that he didn't really have much respect for places like the castle tower. He was almost as casual as the flower-viewers Tokichiro had seen before.
Same... Should I say that people with high skills are bold, or something like that?
I originally thought that Akito would be more stable and generous compared to Axiu who had not seen much of the world, but it seemed that the situation was completely the other way around. Axiu was obviously the quiet and unswerving one. p>
Tokichiro grimaced and wanted to say something more to remind him, for example, to talk about the temper, character, methods of the three masters. After all, the superiors are moody and should not be taken lightly. But he looked at the servant leading the way,
I don’t know what to say anymore.
You can't speak ill of the other's master in front of other people's servants. In that case, it doesn't matter whether his partner can do well next, but he himself probably won't be able to do well next.
I hope things will be more reliable later, or that Master Dao San will be more tolerant and don’t get angry...
"This is it. Everyone, please wait a moment. Master Dao San will be here soon."
The servant leading the way finally stopped and opened the door at the end of the corridor. He lowered his eyebrows and stretched out his hand towards the Youxuan Japanese room inside, making a "please" gesture to the people behind.
The three of them walked in silently, and then listened to the sound of the door behind being closed.
The light in the room became dim again.
Of course, it may also be an illusion caused by his own habits... Gu Mo looked at the candlesticks on both sides of the room. The candlelight was burning quietly, emitting a steady and soft light, illuminating this closed space to a certain extent. Maybe
From the perspective of people of this era, this is already a very bright lighting condition.
However, after experiencing the baptism of light pollution in later generations, he could not see the stars even outdoors, let alone indoors. In his opinion, this level of lighting...
emmmm, it’s quite atmospheric and suitable for telling ghost stories.
Time passed minute by minute in silence. After looking around for a long time, Gu Mo found that there was really nothing interesting to see.
There isn't much in this room. Except for the copper candlesticks that emit soft light on both sides, there are only the Buddha statues enshrined at the top and a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall behind. However, the light is so dim that it is really hard to see.
Not sure what it is.
He was not rude enough to stand up at such a time and get closer to take a closer look. Instead, he turned his head slightly and looked at Hidechiyo who was kneeling dignifiedly next to him, admiring the girl's upright sitting posture. After these two days,
When getting along with each other, he wouldn't say that he would feel embarrassed when facing Axiu and didn't want to face——
Because the girl seemed to really not care after that and didn't intend to pursue the matter, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
At best, it's still a little awkward, but it's not a big problem anymore.
He just looked at it for a while, and then Hidechiyo finally raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, turning his head to look at him with some doubts. Gu Mo showed a smiling expression, stretched out a finger and pointed lightly.
Her face seemed to be indicating something.
"..."
"..."
Although his face is still covered and his specific expression cannot be seen, it can still be seen that Hidechiyo's body seems to be stiff.
Do you want to take off the mask?
She still felt a little at a loss. After all, she had long been accustomed to living alone and not interacting with anyone. She only interacted with people occasionally when she was commissioned to eliminate demons, and she always went there with her face covered... If it was occasionally
It doesn't matter if someone accidentally sees her true face, and she doesn't care much about it.
But deliberately putting down the hijab and interacting with others normally is still a bit strange and uncomfortable for young girls.
However, after hesitating for a while, she still sighed silently, reached out and gently took off the face towel covering her face, revealing her face that was as delicate as a doll, but her expression looked very plain, even a little bit...
Cold look...
Of course, it's not that she has a cold temperament, it's mainly because she doesn't know what kind of expression to show at this time, so she subconsciously tightens her face and purses her lips, making it easy for others to misunderstand that she is cold.
A sign of alienation.
Gu Mo was not too surprised. After all, he had already known what Hidechiyo looked like. So at this moment, he just blinked and looked at the very familiar girl in front of him. He completed the final confirmation that it was indeed the same person in his mind.
The impression created matches almost perfectly.
Black hair, tear mole, red eyes...
All features are identical.
However, Tokichiro was not so calm when he saw him for the first time. He was stunned for a moment and was so shocked that he almost couldn't recover, because he had never seen such a beautiful girl before, even
I feel that the daughters and princesses of noble families are probably nothing more than this.
After a long while, he turned around in a daze and stared straight at Gu Mo, as if he wanted to say something, but nothing came out after opening his mouth several times.
Is this the winner in life? It’s so enviable!
But at this moment——
"Hahahahaha, the monkey is here again. I haven't seen you in the past few months. I thought you died somewhere..." The heroic laughter sounded along with the footsteps in the corridor outside the door. The next moment
, the door of the room was opened, and a sturdy bald figure strode into it.
With a flash of excitement, Tokichiro immediately reacted and threw all the previous emotions in his mind away. His face showed the flattering and flattering expression of a small person almost as a conditioned reflex.
"How could it be, Lord Dao San? I have been running around for your instructions during this period. I have not completed the tasks you assigned me, but I never dare to die. It doesn't matter if I die, it's just
I’m afraid that it will delay your affairs...”
Hidechiyo who was standing next to him was slightly stunned, and his expression became a little weird. How could this person say such a long paragraph at once, and his tone was so natural and full of emotion? It was obvious that he was trying to please someone as soon as he heard it.
The words seemed to come from the bottom of my heart and from the bottom of my heart.
Gu Mo's eyes flickered, but he took it for granted. After all, he was born in a poor family but was able to climb up step by step, and finally became a world-renowned monkey. He just knew what he wanted, and he was always able to go for it shamelessly.
Seize the opportunity instead of worrying about other people's opinions.
In contrast, I would feel terribly embarrassed if the person involved found out that I had lied...
Well, I’m still a little too young, maybe I should learn from the monkeys in this aspect.
"Hahaha, you monkey really knows how to talk..." Saito Douzan laughed again. He walked past the three of them, came to the top and sat down nonchalantly, holding a bag in his hand.
Holding an exquisite wine flask, "How's it going? I asked you to collect spiritual stones. Since you come to see me now, it means that you..."
The words that followed came to an abrupt end. The Mino Overlord's gaze passed over the three of them, and it was instantly fixed on Hidechiyo, and then his expression was blank.
"It's like this, Master Daosan, please tell me about collecting spiritual stones from various places..." The monkey didn't notice at all. He still reported it in a respectful voice with a smile on his face and a low eyebrow at the same time.
"Stop talking! Shut up first!"
However, he had just started, and was immediately interrupted by Saito Dosan with a low shout.
Tokichiro was frightened for a moment, and raised his head with his face turning slightly pale. He didn't know what he said wrongly, but he found that the viper at the top was not looking at him at all, but was staring at the other person.
The black-haired girl on one side has eyes full of disbelief and eager hope.
Just now, Saito Douzan instinctively thought that Yilong had come back at some point and was waiting for him here, but he immediately realized something was wrong.
He remembered something. When his children were born, they were actually twins. He separated the names he had used before and named them "Yixiu" and "Yilong" respectively... But because of his wife's
For some reason, he later took Yixiu away, leaving only Yilong for himself.
Put it this way...
This ruthless man known as the Viper of Meinong became a little nervous rarely, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "You... what is your name?"
"..."
"..."
The black-haired girl was also a little unable to react. Why did this person ask her name as soon as she came up?
She subconsciously wanted to reach out to take the short blade from her waist and introduce herself in the usual way, but it came to nothing. Then she remembered that she was not allowed to carry weapons into the castle tower, so she temporarily put it aside before coming here.
Things were put down.
"I'm sorry, Master Daosan..." Gu Mo coughed lightly and said, "Axiu can't speak. She didn't mean not to answer your question..."
"...Axiu?!"
There was a flash of light in his eyes. Saito Douzan didn't care about these things at all, but grasped the key immediately, staring at him with extremely sharp eyes, and his tone changed: "You mean, her name
Is it a "show"?"
Gu Mo thought about it quickly and nodded firmly: "Yes, she also has a knife left by her mother, with this word engraved on it."
Strictly speaking, the name Hidechiyo was only given later, because there was no way for everyone to be called Axiu Axiu. Especially when she continued to accumulate meritorious deeds and her reputation and status were growing, she naturally needed a formal name.
, so I chose the official name of Hidechiyo based on her character "秀".
Therefore, from beginning to end, only the word "show" can be determined.
"Where's that knife? Show me quickly!"
Saito Douzan was almost convinced. He threw down the wine bottle in his hand, jumped up from the ground, stepped forward, grabbed the black-haired girl's shoulders and shook her vigorously, his tone was particularly exciting.
Ping pong!
"What's going on!"
"There is an assassin!"
"Master Dao San! Master Dao San!"
"What, how... Lord Yilong?!"
The delicate wine flask was smashed to pieces, and the crisp sound caused a commotion in the corridor outside. In just a few breaths, a large group of elite warriors wearing armor and holding knives smashed into the fragile wooden door, crashing like a tidal wave.
are pouring in!
"Everyone get out!!"
Saito Dozo turned his head and roared at the group of subordinates with a ferocious face.
The latter group of people looked at each other and shrank their necks. Judging from the situation, it seemed that there were no assassins or anything. They hurriedly retreated the same way they came, crowding in the corridor. The clanking sound of armor clashing faded away, leaving only the smashed pieces.
sliding door.
"..."
"..."
Turning around, Saito Douzan seemed to have changed his face into the most amiable face, and spoke in a particularly gentle tone to the dazed black-haired girl:
"Axiu, I...you...I am your father!"
In silence.
Tokichiro opened his mouth wide, almost grinning from ear to ear. With these words echoing in his mind, only one thought was firmly occupying his mind. He subconsciously looked at the young man——
If Miss Axiu is the daughter of Lord Daosan, then with such a good relationship between the other party and Miss Axiu, wouldn’t she be able to rise to the top of the world in one fell swoop?
Not knowing that, strictly speaking, the three of them met on the same day, Tokichiro subconsciously concluded that Gu Mo had lied to him not long ago, and his whole body was in bad shape. However, he was not afraid of comparison but was afraid of being hurt. Why do people
Is there such a big gap between us?
After so many years, I am still accumulating capital, waiting for an opportunity to stand out... Even though I work so hard, I can only try my best to get an opportunity!
And some people... I'm afraid they won't win from the beginning!
Not knowing about Tokichiro's psychological activities, Gu Mo just looked at the scene of the father-daughter reunion in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. Everything developed as he expected. In this way, Axiu recognized his biological father and got what he deserved.
recognition and treatment, and I can feel more comfortable and hug my thighs.
