【38】Mother

Before, because he didn't know how to use the ghost Buddha, and in order to create a safer environment for Yuzi, he didn't want to be an enemy of Wei Ming, Han Baiyi had been practicing his skills at home, or he would fight against the Chibei Army.

Get some experience.

Now that it is discovered that Guifu can be used, his range of activities can be much wider.

The Ghost Buddha (portal) is so user-friendly. You can run around the entire map at will, saving you an unknown amount of time.

Plus, it allows people to travel through time and space...

Although it is traveling through time and space, ordinary ghosts and Buddhas can only travel through space. Traveling through time requires another special kind of ghosts and Buddhas, and they can only travel to a specific instance.

This copy is the beginning of the world of Sekiro.

【Three years ago, Hirata Mansion】

Ryūin's son Kuro was adopted by the Hirata family of Ashina's minister since he was a child. Wolf also became Kuro's ninja three years ago.

One day three years ago, Wolf's adoptive father "Xiao" secretly contacted the inner government and mobilized his own ninja force "Guying Zhong", and a group of bandits headed by Anaconda Juzo, in a dark and windy night

He robbed the Hirata family who adopted Miko and killed the entire Hirata family.

In the end, only Miko and the wolf who broke into the enemy camp to save the master and were seriously injured were the only ones who survived.

Yuzi and Lang also made a contract for the first time in that collapsed Buddhist hall, achieving Long Yin's immortality.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Han Baiyi now.

The reason why he wanted to cross time and space was just to get a treasure.

Buddhist beads.

These beads come from unknown sources and are scattered on many specific bosses and elite monsters. After the wolf obtains the beads, it will have the effect of increasing the upper limit of blood volume.

No one can have too much of a life-saving thing.

Walking along the avenue towards Ashina Castle, sneaking along the city gate road, avoiding the musketeers and sword soldiers patrolling the avenue, swishing across the mountains and sea with the flying claws that had just been practiced for a few days, Han Baiyi was familiar with it.

A familiar person came to a damaged tower.

The originally intact city tower had already been pierced by artillery, most of the roof was damaged, tiles were scattered all over the floor, the entire building was riddled with holes, and the furnishings inside the house were in a mess.

The smell of smoke and blood can be smelled everywhere.

Such a place is obviously not suitable for people to live in.

But in such a two-story building that could collapse at any time, a hunchbacked old lady with gray hair and a red kimono was sitting in the corner of the room, her eyes were dull, and she was muttering something unknown.

The old lady looked up at him with dull, turbid, obviously foggy eyes, and the old lady smiled.

Han Baiyi pursed his lips.

This old man was one of the victims of the Hirata family back then.

This old man's family made an oath with the Hirata family and will be their servants for generations.

She was a servant of the Hirata family back then, and her son was the guardian of the Hirata family.

During the bandit disaster three years ago, both she and her son were attacked by illusions. The old man himself became obsessed with his mind and went crazy. In order to resist the pain of the illusion, her son dug out his own eyeballs. Later,

Broken leg again.

The mother and son, one mad and the other disabled, were separated in the chaotic crowd. They could only rely on their voices and remaining memories to find each other.

However, three years have passed and the two still have not met.

In the original plot of the game, the mother was always trapped in the small building that was blasted by artillery fire, while her son stumbled, dragging his blind and broken leg to the edge of the boulder only ten feet away from the small building.

.

Just one foot short, but for the mother and son, it was truly a world away. Until the end, they could not meet each other, and both died in the dragon's cough.

Han Baiyi stepped forward, and the old lady immediately stood up with her thin and shriveled body, hurriedly grabbed his sleeves, saliva flowed to the corner of her mouth, and said in a trembling voice:

"Oh! Oh! It's Inosuke."

"Son, have you seen the young master?"

Looking at the old man, Han Baiyi's throat felt a little dry.

"I'm not your son."

"Inosuke, you say such things again!"

The old lady frowned angrily, her folds were squeezed into one place, but her withered and dying body burst out with great strength, pulling Han Baiyi staggering.

"Even if you say that my mind is abnormal, I will never mistake my son!"

"Yeah, that's all."

"Son, I'll leave this bell to you."

"This is the guardian bell I was worried about young master making."

"Go and offer this guardian bell to the Buddha statue."

"Always pray for the dead..."

The old lady's voice was trembling, and she was obviously very weak. She had stayed in such a broken building and hadn't eaten in an unknown amount of time.

Han Baiyi pursed his lips. The young master the old man mentioned was naturally Yuzi.

Even in such a difficult situation, she was always thinking about the girl she had protected all the way.

Looking at the guardian bell in his hand, Han Baiyi took out a few wild vegetable balls from the cloth bag.

"Come, let's eat something first."

"Yeah, this fish is really delicious." The old lady didn't shirk, she happily took the wild vegetable dumpling and ate it, "Hey, you should eat some too, so that you can have the strength to protect the young master..."

Seeing the old lady devouring her food, Han Baiyi seemed to feel a little comforted. He smiled and excused himself, and then prepared to go back to the ruined temple courtyard.

As he turned around, he was grabbed by the old lady.

The old lady's voice was not clear, her voice was a bit shaky and blocked.

"Son, are you leaving again?"

Han Baiyi didn't exert any force, letting the old lady hold him, and agreed in a harmonious voice:

"Yes, I still want to protect the young master."

"Yes, I have to protect the young master..." The old lady hesitated, then reluctantly let go, "You have to protect me, please... I just rely on you.

Alright..."

Han Baiyi nodded and hesitated for a moment: "Come with me. I have a place to live there. I won't starve or be in danger..."

"don't want!!"

The old lady suddenly screamed, turned around and hugged the pillar tightly without letting go, murmuring in a low voice:

"I'll wait for you here and I won't go anywhere..."

"Inosuke will come back..."

"Inosuke goes to protect the young master."

"He told me not to go anywhere..."

"It's safe here..."

His withered fingers were clasped on the wooden stake, holding on tightly. He turned his head and rubbed against the wall, while kicking in the direction of Han Baiyi. He kept repeating a few words in his mouth. His clothes and body were all covered in dust.

Han Baiyi looked at the old lady's appearance and knew that she would not leave.

Looking back, I saw that more than half of the roof had collapsed, the load-bearing walls had collapsed, and it was riddled with holes, but it was barely holding on.

I have to say that it is a miracle that this crazy old lady can survive to this day.

However, for her, surviving until now may be a tragedy.

When Han Baiyi walked out of the dilapidated building, the old lady seemed to be discouraged. She once again sat down weakly on the ground covered with broken bricks and tiles, her eyes still dull.

"Inosuke..."



After walking out of the dilapidated building, Han Baiyi patrolled around the dilapidated building. After making sure he didn't see that person, he returned to the small courtyard of the dilapidated temple holding the guardian bell in silence.

This guardian bell is one of the tokens used to travel through time and space, allowing Han Baiyi to return to the Hirata family three years ago through the Buddha statue.

It can only be obtained from this crazy old lady.

It just so happened that Han Baiyi was going back to three years ago, and by the way... she was also trying to change her future.

When he returned to the small courtyard, it happened to be the time when Yuzi went out to fetch water to irrigate the ground. Han Baiyi came to the ruined temple and faced a tall Buddha statue on the left side of the ruined temple.

Han Baiyi placed the guardian bell on the offering plate in front of the Buddha statue, knelt on the ground, clasped his hands and closed his eyes tightly.

The numbers on the timeline slowly change:

6:12:52:05

For just a moment, my thoughts were plunged into nothingness.

There was no sound, no picture, just the vision went dark, and Han Baiyi came to another place.

The moist air made Han Baiyi clearly feel his own existence, and everything he saw was so real.

He looked around, and there was a towering mountain range at his feet, with sharp points reaching into the sky like pendants.

Looking down, there is a big river facing the front.

This is the Longquan River, one of the few rivers in Ashina Country.

Looking further into the distance, there is a field of bright lights.

It was a burning villa built on the mountainside.

[Three years ago, by the Longquan River]
