Chapter 153 What is Trouble?
"Honestly, I'm—not happy at all."
The flexible and strong octopus legs were scattered on the ground, and the surrounding water was also turbid. Tsurumaru complained pantingly: "What kind of hunting is this...I'm exhausted."
Sanriyue nailed the last spasmodic tentacle to the ground, and flicked her numb wrist from excessive force.
This is indeed very different from the usual battle, but it is not difficult to deal with after finding the trick. After all, it is an animal with only instinct, and it is not qualified to be called an enemy.
But physical strength is exhausted quickly.
Unable to lie directly on the ground with no image like Tsurumaru, Mikazuki sat down cross-legged after closing the knife, intending to recover a little bit of strength.
"Three moons," Tsurumaru watched as the blood in the water quickly dissipated, and the environment returned to cleanliness, "the first batch... how do you understand this word?"
"Haha, it means that we will have to fight against enemies like this in the future, so plan ahead?"
"Unless something terrible happens, it is impossible for the retrograde army to become this shape." Bai He didn't bother to expose the other party's stupid attitude, so he just continued, "And our battle location has never included Under the sea, what do you need to adapt to this?"
"He has been to many places, he has probably met many enemies, and has suffered many injuries," Tachi deliberately blew out a string of bubbles to cover his expression, "it's not surprising that there are such opponents inside."
"So—does this mean something?"
At the bottom of the deep sea where everything was quiet, Mikazuki listened to Tsurumaru's chatter without saying a word, with a smile on his lips that he didn't even notice.
"To be able to face his enemies directly means to be officially included in his life," Tsurumaru said with his eyes bent. "We are swords and swords. My understanding is correct, right?"
"I didn't expect Tsurumaru Kuninaga to have such careful speculations, but compared to the behavior of persuading the Lord to forge knives by side-talking, it has improved a lot."
Five Swords Under Heaven expressed approval, but what they said seemed to be teasing. Tsurumaru, who knew his nature well, generously chose to forgive—or this guy was quite scary. At that time, he had only arrived in Honmaru not long ago. See your purpose.
However, that is just trying to deepen the bond with more and more responsibilities. Now that the desired result has been obtained, how to do it is of course up to the current master's liking.
The Five Swords of the World, who also directly tried but was blocked back, laughed and said nothing.
"Forget it, I admit, I can't help but get excited when I think of such a possibility," Bai He finally sat up with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face, and opened his arms towards the deep darkness. Farther and farther places, seeing more and more scenery, there are always countless surprises waiting for me—discovery, isn’t this—something to be happy about?”
"Everyone in Honmaru will be very surprised. Even if the war here comes to an end and the time-traveling army disappears, we can still continue to live like this instead of returning to a small box-" Baihe smiled brightly, "Actually, I I'm so happy I don't know what to say!"
"Tsuramaru always looks so full of anticipation for the future." Mikazuki looked at him softly, "It's very... dazzling, I can't help but look forward to it."
"It's you who are too awkward," Tsurumaru rushed over to pull his cheek, "When others are nice to you, why not be happy? Not everyone can see through your mind."
Blocking the opponent's claws with a knife, Mikazuki said with an unchanged expression: "Now it's just training. If the opponent had a similar appearance, Tsurumaru's physical strength would have been dragged away long ago."
"Drag away?" A little unable to keep up with the rapidly changing topic of the other party, Bai He froze for a while.
"Huh? It was dragged back to the lair and hung up, and then—while waiting for someone to rescue—was ravaged miserably..."
"Sanriyue...you didn't just look at the previous point at all, you...where did you get the ID to activate?"
"Huh? I just memorized my lord's ID by chance. I didn't expect to succeed after trying it. I just read two pages and charged again. The old man is not very good at shopping online."
"Did you know that browsing history will be checked by the current political situation from time to time!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, I didn't leave a message..."
"Although it is in the water, there is no way to wash it. It is really distressing."
Xiaohuwan, who successfully escaped from the encirclement of conch shells, untied his hair, tore off a piece of clothes and wiped them back and forth, but the sticky feeling accompanied by the fishy smell of seafood was still lingering, and his complexion also changed along with it. Change, very unhappy.
With lingering fear, Candlestick straightened his short hair, observed the movement around him more vigilantly, and warned himself not to follow the example of others.
They are now in an open space, the radiance of the vines is shining everywhere, and the ripples of the water waves can be seen gently shaking.
"Mr. Candlestick Che, have you had any troubles lately?"
Xiaohumaru took out the comb that he carried with him and wanted to comb his hair, but the wisp-like feel made him give up his original idea, and just rubbed it in his hand—the handle of the comb was lowered and he put it back in his arms.
"It can be seen..." Candlestick paused and smiled, "It seems that I am really in a bad state."
"Have you found a solution?"
"I have a clue, no, it can also be said that it was solved suddenly." Candlestick cut subconsciously grasped the handle of the knife, letting the familiar touch help him settle down, "Although it is not handsome to say so, I am very envious His Highness Kokomaru is always free from worries."
"Little fox will also have troubles." Xiaohumaru was in a trance for a short time, but soon broke free. He suggested with concern, "Why don't you ask the master—maybe you will get enlightenment."
"...I don't want him to know about my troubles," Taidao sighed, and put his hand on his chest, the light on his side flickered with his movements, "I always care about things like troubles, but others see them It sounds simple, I know the right way to do it, it's just out of control here, thinking a lot."
"Uncontrollable..." The big fox lowered his eyes and nodded slightly in agreement, "It's true, my thoughts are confused, I'm at a loss, and I feel troubled."
The two fell into silence for a while, the water waves swayed gently, and the light and shadow changed.
"Afflictions... are the source of chaotic thoughts," Candlestick said uncertainly about his point of view, "This point must be resolved first. How does His Highness Xiaohumaru view the God Judge?"
Taidao brought back the question Jingmo gave him intact, and he wanted to know whether Fu Sangshen, who had the same situation as himself but had no distracting thoughts, would think the same as himself?
"The god judge is the one who gives us our body," the white-haired Fu Sangshen replied, "guiding us to appear with spiritual power, it is the medium through which we contact the world, and in return, we fight for it."
"That's all...?"
"That's all..." The other party seemed very hesitant, his face blurred under the waves, "The meaning given to us by human beings is the same as before, so we just need to be the same as before."
"If the time-traveling army is allowed to revise historical trends, our existence will become uncertain," Candlestick Qie emphasized. "It's not just the human body, but its own existence, so fighting is also for ourselves."
"Our existence stems from the needs of human beings, but human beings are always changing, wandering back and forth between what we need and what we don't need, because we are just tools," Xiaohumaru replied, "Even if the shape changes, the essence remains the same, not Unique and irreplaceable."
"Whether history changes or not, we will lose our reason for continuing to exist when the war is over."
The light of the saber drew a bright and sharp arc, splitting the white-haired Fu Sangshen in two, but the shadow of the water glistened, and it was his own appearance that reappeared in front of the Taidao.
"No matter how much human beings praise and respect, and imbue them with love and fear, we are all tools made for a certain purpose, and will be constantly replaced due to damage and obsolescence," a phantom that is exactly the same as a candlestick There is no smile on his face, "Once it loses its function, it will be abandoned with pity and sympathy."
Realizing that the attack was useless, Candlestick Qie held a saber and looked indifferently at Qie in front of him.
"Even if you pay more attention to the appearance after the appearance, you are destined to return to the useless blade in the end, and die as people gradually lose interest," Phantom said flatly, "The candle holder Mitsutada has been burned."
The surrounding area began to become brighter at some point, and the raised veins on the back of Tachi's hand could be seen disappearing in the cuff.
"A burnt knife, a knife that cannot be used in actual combat, and a knife that has no meaning, what is the meaning of existing in this form?" Phantom's words were tinged with ridicule, but his opponent was surprised by the somewhat familiar tone expression.
"...The current form is different from the past," Candlestick stared at the other person's face, repeating the words in his heart many times, "In the current form, I have gained recognition, and this has nothing to do with the burned body , has nothing to do with any other Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, and..."
His expression relaxed: "There have been new changes today. Although many things have happened in the follow-up, I haven't had time to analyze them carefully, but I believe this is a signal of commitment."
"No, there is no unending war..."
Phantom stopped speaking after half a sentence, with a hesitant and slightly confused and suspicious expression.
"...Heh, you even know this?" Taidao chuckled when he roughly understood the reason, "So it's like this, so it's me like this."
"Losing your decision as a fusangshen is the same as losing your blade as a knife. It's so ugly to be wandering around." Candlestick hooked the corner of his mouth, "Although I don't know what you are, but I am very grateful to you for letting me face it. It helped a lot in making a decision, even though it was too late."
The phantom in front of him stared at him - speechless, the edges began to blur.
"I don't think I will see myself like this again, so I will tell you this thought at the end." Candlestick cut raised his hand and raised the knife above his head, "It doesn't matter if the shape is decayed or broken, or even burned to nothingness again It's okay—”
"As long as there is a person who can leave a clear and indelible impression in his heart because of 'I'—the only candlestick cut Mitsutada, as a knife, candlestick cut Mitsutada exists because of the value that people need to use, but as Fusangshen , but I exist because of people's 'heart'."
The unreconciled phantom suddenly shattered, and the radiance swayed gently with the water waves again.
"For me, that's enough."
Candlestick cut opened his eyes.
Little Fox Maru was fighting with a huge jellyfish in front of him, its slender tentacles spread out in all directions, trying to wrap them up, but was cut off by the big fox, and there were transparent fragments floating in the water.
"Are you awake?"
"Hmm..." Realizing that his arms were only a little numb, Candlestick Che joined the battle, carefully avoiding those flexible tentacles while attacking—he really didn't want to have another hallucination, even if it could help him recognize his heart, But also really unpleasant experience.
There is also a willful god judge, so let’s talk about him, it would be nice if it was revealed earlier, following such a master, maybe there will be a never-ending battle, at least, even if the history revisionists disappear, there is no need to worry What will be my future destiny - deep down in my heart, I still really mind burning the knife.
Candlestick looked at the sharp blade of the saber and smiled.
The jellyfish had been cut off too many tentacles, and fled away in a panic. The two fusangshen didn't want to chase them for various reasons, but just changed to a clean water area and continued to explore—this time they observed the surrounding area very cautiously environment.
"Its tentacles are transparent, and it will produce hallucinations after being stung. We are all too careless," Xiaohumaru said angrily, "Although it only takes a short time to wake up, but..."
Thinking of the possible consequences, the atmosphere fell into a low mood.
"However, because of this hallucination, it helped me a little bit."
The big fox looked at him with a look of "willing to hear more about it".
"It's not a big reason. I guess the key to solving troubles mentioned by human beings is not to solve the root of the matter, but how to strengthen your wavering heart." Candlestick said with emotion, "Knowing what to do is right, It doesn’t mean that there are no worries, or that troubles arise just because you know what to do is right—because the human heart is something that can doubt and self-torture, and as a fusangshen, you have to get used to it as soon as possible.”
The big fox thought about it—yes, and nodded sympathetically. Candlestick couldn't help being curious like this. He said that it was not fake to envy Little Huwan, because he couldn't imagine that he would have anything to struggle with.
"What kind of hallucination did His Highness Kokomaru see?"
"Ah..." Xiaohuwan struggled for a while, and replied in a dejected manner, "I saw Sanriyue...he ate my fried tofu, but it's really nothing, although he doesn't like to eat it, but he likes to grab mine. "
This is already a common sight in Honmaru, and Xiaohumaru has always been unable to do anything to the other party. Candlestick doesn't really understand what's bothering about it-or is this what people without troubles see?
——Mikazuki’s hair is also beautiful even after it grows longer.
Touching his sticky long hair, the big fox thought anxiously, it doesn't matter how much fried tofu you give him, but... Wan—what if the master thinks his fur looks better?
No, definitely not, the master always praises my fur... Sanriyue's hair will not grow longer...
Blame those damn conch!
When stung by a jellyfish, the big fox with his heart on his hair gritted his teeth and fully understood Candlestick Cut's theory that "the human heart is self-torture".
