Chapter 282: I am the only one in the world (Part 1)
Whoosh!
The sharp arrow passed through the air and accurately hit a silly-looking hare. Uesugi Ryu also laughed and felt proud. He watched his entourage pick up the prey, then sat on the horse and looked around, with excitement on his young face.
He is the second son of Uesugi Seiji, the lord of Tateyama Castle. He is nineteen years old. He does not like to talk about sex, but he loves hunting. In his spare time, he likes to play in the forest outside the city and hunt some wild game for entertainment. He looks down on those
The son-in-law who has always been a prostitute, only thinks that bending a bow and arrows and killing prey like him is a manly pleasure.
However, this forest is located outside the city. Some hungry and poor people often catch animals and even wild vegetable bark in this forest to feed their hunger. As a result, the forest prey is scarce on weekdays, and there are even refugees from outside who damage the forest environment. It is very annoying. On weekdays,
Not to mention large beasts, even a squirrel was sometimes hard to see. In anger, Ryuu Uesugi ordered people to fence off the land to prevent civilians from approaching the forest, and used it as his hunting ground.
When Ryu Uesugi came here to hunt again today, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a lot more prey in the forest, and he didn't even know how to avoid people. When he saw him and his entourage, they seemed to be frightened, and they just stayed there and didn't dare to move, until
After being pierced by a sharp arrow, Uesugilong turned around and gained a lot. Unfortunately, he didn't see any large beasts. All he saw were cowardly little animals.
The environment of the forest seems to be much better. The trees have dense branches and leaves, and there are patches of wild flowers and dandelions in the forest. After the breeze blows, the fragrance of the flowers is refreshing, and the dandelions' pom-poms are illuminated by the light scattered between the branches and leaves.
It flew down in the air and occasionally brushed against Uesugi Tatsuya's cheek, making his skin feel a little itchy and he couldn't help but laugh.
Why didn't I realize that there was such a beautiful scenery here before? Ryuu Uesugi also caught a floating dandelion pom-pom and blew it away. He thought with emotion. He suddenly felt that he had asked the poor to enter this forest. What a shame.
It's the right thing to do. Otherwise, why would we have such beautiful scenery?
Uesugi Ryuu also looked at Tianse and felt that he had gained a lot from this trip, so he wanted to return to the mansion, greeted a few followers and guards, and rode out of the forest.
A follower cleverly walked ahead, helping Uesugi Ryuya hold the horse's reins and control the horse's speed. In fact, riding a horse in the forest is very dangerous, but Uesugi Ryuu naturally didn't understand this.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth. Uesugi Ryuya was admiring the beautiful scenery along the road. After a while, he reached the edge of the woods. He could see the outline of the town in the distance, and there were faint sounds of laughter and laughter floating in the breeze.
Uesugi Ryuya noticed something strange in his heart, but before he had time to think about it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man in a dark black dress and a simple crown not far ahead from the corner of his eye.
He stood under the bodhi tree with his hands behind his hands, looking at himself from a distance, half-smiling.
Ryu Uesugi could also vaguely see the appearance of the man standing under the bodhi tree. His face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were bright and his eyes were starry, and he was dressed luxuriously. He couldn't help but feel strange. Why didn't he know that there was such a person near Tateyama Castle?
Uesugi Ryu was also puzzled by the identity of the man in the imperial uniform, so he stepped forward on his horse and wanted to ask for the identity of the man. However, for some reason, the horse under him, which had been trained for many years, refused to say anything after approaching the man for a certain distance.
He stepped forward and kept shaking, as if he wanted to shake Uesugi Ryuuya down. Uesugi Ryuuya and his followers were startled, and they quickly helped him jump off the horse. It was only then that the horse calmed down.
, lowered his head, and was unusually honest, which made Ryuu Uesugi feel even more strange.
Walking into the bodhi tree with his entourage, leading the humble horse, Uesugi Ryu suddenly remembered, shouldn't this place be originally occupied by a dead tree? When did such a big bodhi tree grow?
?
"You're here to hunt again, Uesugi Ryuya." After Uesugi Ryuya approached with his entourage, the man in a royal robe said, temporarily interrupting Uesugi Ryuya's thoughts.
"Who are you?" Uesugi Ryuya looked at the man opposite and asked a little strangely: "Do you know me?"
The man opposite had a look of surprise on his face for a moment, but then he smiled, seemed to understand, and said softly: "Yes, you are not awake yet."
As he spoke, Uesugi Ryuya saw the man wave his sleeves. For some reason, Uesugi Ryuya's eyesight was also affected, and his eyesight blurred slightly. Then, the Bodhi tree in front of him quickly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the green leaves
Soon it becomes withered and yellow, and then falls into the soil.
Uesugi Ryuya was shocked, but when he saw that the man stopped moving, he still kept a half-smiling expression on his face. He suddenly felt that this man was a little mysterious, and wanted to turn around to greet his entourage and guards, but this time he almost turned around.
Scream out loud.
Several followers and guards were covered in blood. Some of them seemed to be confused and ignorant, but a few of them had ferocious expressions and seemed to be happy. The prey they had brought with them had disappeared, replaced by a
There was a round human head, with blood still dripping from the broken neck. Most of the faces of these heads had fear, but the mixture of dazzling blood made Uesugi Ryuya feel a chill in his heart.
The forest also changed from the previous scene to what Ryuya Uesugi remembered. The bark of many big trees had been removed, leaving only a bare patch, which was very ugly. Most of the wild flowers and vegetables were picked by the hungry poor.
, how can there be so many wild flowers and weeds, and they are also covered with flying velvet?
Uesugi Ryuya looked at the direction of Tateyama Castle again and almost fainted. He saw the ruins of the city. A thick layer of blood light was emitting from the city, dyeing most of the sky. And above the city, there were countless innocent souls floating and flying, which made Uesugi
Long Ye's scalp exploded, he screamed and sat on the ground.
Sitting on the ground, Ryu Uesugi also felt that his hands were a little slippery. He quickly gathered them in front of his eyes, only to find that they were also covered with bright red blood. Ryu Uesugi was also frightened and screamed, shouting at the top of his lungs at the man who had always been there.
Without moving a step, the man with a comfortable expression shouted: "Who are you?"
"It's time for you to wake up." The man shook his head, sighed, and then pointed at Shanlong from a distance.
…………
"Ah!" Ryuu Uesugi suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed, breathing heavily, with a frightened expression and a dazed look.
Several servants had already been awakened by Uesugi Ryuya's cry, and quickly lit the lights in the room. After the soft light drove the darkness out of the house, Uesugi Ryuya seemed to have come back to his senses, although there was still some shrinking and confusion in his eyes.
The fear is much better than the uneasy appearance before.
After his mind calmed down, Uesugi Ryu suddenly felt cold all over. Only then did he realize that not only his clothes, but also the bed quilt was wet with his cold sweat.
The nightmare he had before was too real, and it was almost dawn, so Ryuu Uesugi had no intention of sleeping for the time being. He felt sticky and uncomfortable, so he ordered someone to boil water and prepare to take a bath.
While watching the servants busy, Uesugi Ryuya kept thinking about the nightmare in his mind. All the scenes and processes seemed to be experienced personally. This kind of nightmare is really uncommon. He can still remember the details of the dream, such as the star in the forest outside the city.
The huge dead tree on the edge was exactly the same as what he saw in his dream.
Thinking like this, Ryuu Uesugi seemed to be in a daze since he got up. It wasn't until a thin follower asked him if he was going to hunt today that he finally regained consciousness.
However, Uesugi Ryuya looked at this entourage who nodded and bowed, and noticed the flattery and obvious ingratiation on his face. He suddenly remembered that this person had appeared in his dream before, with his head held up, an arrogant expression, and a ferocious smile.
, a far cry from the image at this time.
He also observed the other followers, and several of them who usually seemed a bit dull and honest also appeared in the dream. Although their hands were full of blood, they had an obvious look of confusion.
For some reason, Ryuu Uesugi felt disgusted with several followers who worked hard to please him and were usually rewarded by him. Although the hunting plan was not cancelled, he seemed a little unhappy.
…………
A group of people headed out of the city and towards the forest. When passing by the dead tree that appeared in his dream, Uesugi Ryu couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but saw a man sitting cross-legged on the dead tree.
Below, the white kimono she is wearing is very eye-catching.
Uesugi Ryu also quickly pulled the reins, and after a moment of hesitation, he ordered a guard to go over and take a look.
The guard also rode a horse, holding a knife on his waist with one hand. He was tall and had a fierce look on his face. Refugees often appeared around Tateyama Castle. Moreover, the security was not good in the first place. Uesugi Seiji was worried that he would like to go out of the city.
When his second son was in danger, he gave him several skilled guards. Although they were not as good as ninjas, they were not something ordinary people could handle. After hearing Uesugi Tatsuya's order, this man glanced at the people sitting cross-legged under the dead tree.
The man bowed his head in response, then hit the horse and ran towards the opponent.
The man wearing a white kimono and sitting cross-legged under the dead tree was none other than Shikamaru himself. He just used the art of transformation to become a middle-aged man. In order to preach, he did not hesitate to pretend to be a ghost.
He is good at the use of spiritual energy, and his illusion skills are extraordinary, not to mention for ordinary people. He first used illusions to confuse Uesugi Ryu and had a realistic nightmare. Now he wants to take this opportunity to achieve enlightenment and increase the "Yi Jiao"
” and the influence of “The Lord of Heaven”.
The guard rode his horse into Shikamaru, only to realize that Shikamaru was not wearing any shoes at his feet. He was tall and straight, and did not shrink like ordinary refugees or poor people. His face was disheveled. The guard was observing, and the horse under him suddenly suddenly
He struggled and was caught off guard and fell down. He was so frightened that he rolled several times on the ground, away from the horse's hooves.
But after the maroon horse only threw the guard down, it stopped struggling. Instead, it lowered its head and walked slowly into Shikamaru, stopping a few meters away from him as if worshiping.
