Fortunately, he is a good drinker.
Even when drunk, he just sat there quietly, saying nothing and looking drowsy.
……
the next day.
noon.
When Nanxing woke up again, he found himself still in the drinking party.
Beside him, there was a group of scattered lolis lying.
——The drinking capacity of Enma Ai, Fujiwara no Mokou, and Kameya Suwako is actually not much better than Nanxing.
In just over an hour, they were drunken by Ibuki Suika and Kanako and became so dazed that they forgot who they were.
But at the same time, on the other hand.
Kanako and Ibuki Suika can be said to be a perfect match.
The two of them have been drinking since yesterday noon until now, but there is still no winner, and they seem to be determined to compete to the end.
"Hey, are you awake?"
"Would you like some wine?"
Ibuki Suika, who was drunk, staggered and brought a bowl of wine to Nanxing.
Nanxing wisely refused.
"You drink first."
He decisively left this place of trouble, leaving the battlefield to Kanako and Ibuki Suika.
"It looks like Ibuki Suika will be the final winner."
Nanxing walked out of the shrine and sat on a stone, feeling the wind blowing in his face, trying to clear his mind.
——Across from him is Lake Suwa.
This huge lake is the origin of the belief in Suwa Daimyojin.
But with the changes of the times, the people living here have even forgotten what Suwa Daimyojin originally looked like.
From frogs to snakes, beliefs were replaced unknowingly.
I have to say, this is actually a sad thing.
But this has nothing to do with Nanxing.
Now, he only needs to think about "Ninja" matters and exploring as many secrets of the world as possible.
However, that was at this time.
"Ok?"
Nanxing suddenly discovered that there were two more tasks in his system task bar.
This was the mission he accepted last night - he failed to discover it in time because he was drunk.
【Task 1: Spread the faith. 】
[Mission description: You are the one who is connected with Suwa God. You should shoulder the responsibility of spreading the faith of Suwa God.]
[Task requirements: Help spread the faith of Suwa God as much as possible. ]
【Task Rewards: Receive rewards based on the scale of dissemination. 】
[Special note: This task is a long-term task, and the settlement period is one year. ]
There's nothing much to say about this mission.
Nanxing actually doesn't know how to spread faith.
Therefore, Nanxing is more Buddhist about this task.
He would try to spread faith, but he would not do it deliberately.
Anyway, he doesn't need this little mission reward now.
But at the same time, the second task attracted Nanxing's attention:
【Mission 2: The legendary three ninjas.】
[Mission Description: The snake and the frog have appeared in front of you. Now you only have the last one left to complete the bond: [Legendary Three Ninjas]. ]
[Quest requirements: Find a human/monster/god with excellent medical skills, and let her meet with the snake and the frog. ]
[Mission rewards: Character card [Orochimaru], character card [Jiraiya], character card [Tsunade]. ]
[Special note: Be careful, not all ninjas are your friends. ]
"..."
This is an interesting task.
It aroused Nanxing's interest.
The most important thing is that Nanxing knows where the so-called person with "excellent medical skills" is.
"Yayi Eirin."
——If even she, who developed the [Penglai Medicine], cannot be considered a person with superb medical skills, then there may be no doctors in this world.
"But then again."
"This so-called fate is really wonderful."
Nanxing thought silently in his heart, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Before this, he had never thought that there would be a day when he would meet the "Oldest Human" again.
I just wonder if Bayi Yonglin would have thought that there was such a fate between them?
"So, the next thing is to persuade Suwako and Kanako to go to Shikoku with me?"
Nanxing was in deep thought.
He thought that this should not be a difficult thing.
But Nanxing doesn’t know it yet.
In a not-too-distant city, there was another person who had the same idea as him.
……
Kyoto.
The beautiful cherry blossoms have all faded.
The majestic White Jade Tower has returned to its former tranquility.
"々｀ The cherry trees didn't bloom again this year."
Yuyuko Saigyouji sat at the bottom of the steps, looking at the Saigyou cherry blossoms that had no green at all and looked as if they were dead, and thought with some regret.
At the same time, she also noticed that her good friend, Yakumo Yukari, who had lived in this palace for three or four hundred years, seemed to be packing something.
"Are you leaving again?"
Youyouzi felt a little reluctant.
But she didn't stop it.
She knew that Yakumo Yukari was shouldering a very important mission.
She could no longer waste Yakumo Yukari's time.
And Yakumo Yukari sighed;
"Yes."
She said helplessly.
"The previous (good) things have not been completed."
She thought of the witch who nailed herself to the bamboo.
——Every time she thought of this, her shoulders would ache slightly.
However, there is no way.
She had something very important to ask Bayei Eirin.
For this, she would rather risk her life.
"Will you come back then?"
Youyouzi asked again.
But this time, Yakumo Yukari shook her head.
"It probably won't happen in the short term."
She had a premonition.
She may be very busy for a long time to come.
"..."
Youyouzi was a little disappointed.
However, in the next moment.
"But that's okay."
Yakumo Yukari suddenly changed the subject.
Then, Youyouzi saw two big packages.
And Yakumo Yukari, whose face is almost invisible because of these two large packages:
"Because this time, I plan to take you with me."
“!!!”.
Chapter 140: The Bell of Dojoji Temple
This is a journey that spans most of the island of Japan.
What’s interesting is that although Nanxing and Yakumo Yukari both have the ability, they can shorten the journey time to within one day.
But they all gave up this plan and chose to complete the journey in an ordinary way.
——They are all people with strong purpose.
But at the same time, they are absolutely unwilling to miss the scenery along the way.
And this may be the true meaning of "journey".
The end of the journey is known.
But the journey was boring yet still felt fresh.
No one knows what will happen after turning a mountain.
Maybe it's a dilapidated temple.
Or maybe it's a willow monster that's trying hard to absorb sunlight and grow as much as possible.
It could also be a woman with a disheveled figure, bare feet, disheveled hair, neither human nor ghost, lying by a river crying bitterly.
At the same time, seemingly because of resentment, the woman's figure also underwent a strange change:
Her legs were gone, replaced by a long tail. An ominous black aura emanated from her, further confusing her mind.
"She's going to turn into a monster."
Ibuki Suika said calmly.
She was no longer surprised by such scenes.
"It turned into a snake monster!"
Suwako clapped her hands and said happily.
It’s interesting to say that this is actually the first time for her to leave Suwa Province after surviving from ancient times to the present.
