Feng Ye actually didn't leave. He was still standing in the same place as before, but he just disappeared into the gap of time, making neither Tamayo nor Yushirou aware of it.
He quietly looked in the direction Zhu Shi left, his eyes flashing with a little light golden luster, and what he saw was a future with branches and leaves spreading like branches.
"Although the future direction has been changed, is it still in its original position?"
Feng Ye smiled softly.
The prescription he gave Zhu Shi was indeed true, but it was a prescription hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years have passed, and some of the medicinal materials have actually become extinct.
Therefore, Zhu Shi cannot simply find all the medicinal materials to create that medicine. She needs to use her wisdom to create a substitute for the extinct medicinal materials.
This cannot be accomplished in a short while.
Fengye gave her ten years. In fact, he didn't mention it casually, but after taking a cursory look at the future, he judged that it would take Zhushi about ten years to recreate the medicine.
At the current time point, it is exactly ten years since Midouzi was turned into a ghost and Tanjiro became an apprentice.
"Find something interesting to do."
Fengye looked down at the series of ever-changing futures and turned around with a smile.
…
Broken town.
This is a large village and town, but the houses seem to be a bit dilapidated and old, and the clothes of the people walking on the streets are more or less patched.
This is a poor village, and there are many such villages and towns in this era.
In this corner of the town.
Some dirty children, about ten years old, gathered in the corner. In front of them were several begging bowls with broken corners, but the bowls were all empty and there was no food.
This is a desolate era, or in poor and remote areas, such situations are common. Some orphans have lost their parents, and some are simply kicked out because their families cannot afford to support them.
Being kicked out is actually slightly better.
Even worse, they are sold directly to human traffickers by their parents in exchange for money.
These orphans who had no ability to survive could only huddle in a dark corner, looking at the passing crowds with prayerful eyes, hoping to get some food.
And just then.
Wow!
Several pieces of clean white cake fell into the begging bowls with broken corners.
The gray eyes of all the children lit up almost instantly. They rushed over and tried their best to grab the pieces of white cake.
The big ones quickly occupied their share, while the thin ones were squeezed next to them and only got a little corner.
However, there are exceptions.
It was a little girl with dirty hair and her arms were obviously thinner than the others, but she was much more flexible than the others. She grabbed a big piece, held it tightly and huddled in the corner to eat.
In this poor town, few people can provide food to distribute to these orphans. Sometimes there is only a little food for several days, so many people starve to death, and those who survive know how to fight for it.
However, what happened this time was a bit beyond their expectations.
Because more than a few pieces of white cake fell into the bowl, when all the white cakes were snatched, a few more pieces were immediately thrown in and then snatched away by other children.
It wasn't until everyone got two large enough pieces of white cake that the person who gave them the food stopped throwing.
Now that they had enough food to eat, the children finally settled down and were no longer as chaotic as when they were fighting for each other. While each was eating white cakes, they also quietly observed the person who gave them food.
What made them a little confused was that Feng Ye had no pockets on his body. He was just wearing a relatively simple and loose kimono and wooden clogs. They couldn't tell where the white cakes were hidden before, as if they were conjured out of thin air.
.
But doubts were doubts, and no one asked anything, because those things were not important. The food in their hands was the most important, which allowed them to continue to live.
"Thank you, thank you..."
The girl who was the first to grab the food looked very delicate but very flexible. After trying hard to eat some food, she whispered to Feng Ye.
Feng Ye did not respond, but stood there quietly, waiting for everyone to finish eating, and then said calmly: "I have a test here, and those who can pass the test, I will accept them as disciples, and they will do it every day."
If you have something to eat and want to try it, come with me."
Finish this sentence.
Feng Ye turned around and left directly.
The children in the corner looked at each other for a while. Although some of them didn't understand what it meant to be a disciple, they all understood the phrase "you can have something to eat every day."
After a brief hesitation, someone quickly stood up and followed Feng Ye, then the second person, the third person...
that's all.
Fengye led a dozen little beggars out of the town and came to the foot of the mountain next to the town.
"The content of the test is very simple. Whoever can climb to the top of the mountain will pass."
"I will wait for you at the top of the mountain."
After leaving such words, Fengye walked into the mountains and disappeared among the woods.
The children who followed looked at the forest in front of them. After a brief pause, some of them showed longing eyes and quickly walked into the forest, and others followed one after another.
"It won't be that easy..."
Seeing other companions going up the mountain one after another, Zhenji, who was the first to follow Feng Ye, did not walk into the forest for a long time, but murmured something.
Since it is a test, it cannot be passed so easily. I am afraid there will be other dangers in the mountains. It is definitely not an easy task to climb to the top of the mountain.
but……
Masaki clenched his little fist.
No matter what, this is an opportunity to live, an opportunity to change the situation. Even if she knows that it is difficult and dangerous, she cannot refuse, because if she gives up, she may not be able to survive, and the next step may be very difficult.
I can't even beg for any food for half a month, and no one knows when I might starve to death.
Since it is a test, it will not be easy, but similarly, since it is a test, it is possible to pass... She believed what Feng Ye said, and her instinct told her that Feng Ye would not deceive her.
After everyone went up the mountain, Zhen Shi finally walked into the forest.
As soon as she walked into the forest, she heard a scream, as if she had seen something very scary, with fear and trembling in her voice.
"Alas!!!"
Then there was another scream, this time a cry of pain, and caused a lot of movement. It seemed like something heavy had fallen to the ground, and there were obviously injured people.
Zhenji was stunned for a short time, but this was not beyond her expectation, so she took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and continued walking up the mountain.
Walking through a forest.
boom!
She felt like she had tripped over something.
Then there was a heavy sound of wind coming from above.
Zhenshen didn't hesitate at all, and rolled on the spot almost purely by instinct, rolling half a meter to the side, and then heard the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
She looked sideways, her face suddenly turned a little pale.
It was a thick tree stump, and it hit her exactly where she was. If she hadn't dodged it, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her.
"So...dangerous..."
She turned pale, glanced towards the top of the mountain, and bit her lip.
There was a struggle and retreat in her heart, but in the end she gritted her teeth, got up again, and continued walking up the mountain, while observing her surroundings more vigilantly.
at the same time.
Mountain top.
On a huge rock, Feng Ye sat there quietly.
His eyes penetrated the woods and saw everything that happened in the mountains and forests. He saw that some people were injured and some were scared away.
In just ten minutes, there were only three people left who continued walking up the mountain.
As time went by, one was soon lost.
at last.
Only one person is left.
"Sure enough, it's just her."
Feng Ye smiled slightly, not surprised.
Without his interference, Masaki would soon be spotted by Rintaki Sakonji and accepted as his disciple, becoming Tanjiro's fellow senior.
Although she will be killed by a hand demon later, she can be recognized as a disciple by Lin Takiza. There is no doubt that her qualifications are sufficient, far exceeding those of other children.
"about there."
Seeing Zhen Xiang who was about to walk out of the forest, Fengye nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and the injured, unconscious and dead children scattered throughout the forest appeared next to him.
Then he simply snapped his fingers, and most of everyone's injuries were immediately healed, and white bandages were wrapped around the wounds.
After doing this.
Feng Ye stood up and looked forward quietly.
About ten more minutes passed.
With bloodstains and multiple scars on his body, Zhenji appeared staggering on the mountain road, holding a branch in his hand and moving forward bit by bit.
Although her body had already reached its limit, and her whole body felt like burning pain every time she moved, she still endured it and moved forward step by step with perseverance.
finally.
She came to Feng Ye and stopped.
Feng Ye looked at her and showed a gentle smile.
"Well done, you're qualified."
"..."
After hearing Feng Ye's words, Zhenjiu couldn't hold on any longer and finally swayed. She couldn't keep standing anymore and fell backwards.
However, she did not fall to the ground, but was gently caught by Feng Ye.
