Between mountains and seas

Shao Jingxing suspected that He Maochuan was talking nonsense.If he was talking about ten-thousand-year-old toads and thousand-year-old tortoises, that would be more practical, but what about stones...

"Did you take the ganoderma lucidum as a stone?" Or, did your grandpa see the ganoderma as a stone because of his old eyesight?

The veins on He Maochuan's forehead became more violent: "Who do you think my grandfather is, how could you be wrong!"

"All right, all right..." People under the eaves had to bow their heads. Huo Qing hadn't come yet, so don't confront him. Shao Jingxing wisely stopped asking, "Then how does this living stone live?" Sickness, life extension, etc., and other elixir, Bai Xin can do it too.

"Humph!" He Maochuan's expression is so rich, he wished to write "what do you know" all over his face, "Cure? If your heart is missing, can the ability give you a good heart again? Can Luan Shu do it? Can Ganoderma lucidum be used?"

Well, it seems that it is not possible.

Shao Jingxing remembered that Huo Qing had told him various principles of healing, but even Ganoderma lucidum, which could cure all diseases, did not have the ability to regenerate severed limbs.That is to say, if it is a congenital defect, there is no power or elixir to treat it.

Let’s take him as an example. His liver was good at first, but he got sick later. In this case, Bai Xin can cure him. He can also heal himself when his power is awakened. Of course, it would be better if he had meat ganoderma. , not only the tumor can disappear, but also all organs can be strengthened, and it is possible to never get sick again.

However, if he has already undergone a resection operation and cut off a lobe of liver, then no matter what medicine, it is impossible to make the liver he cut off grow back, because the human body's regenerative ability is limited, no matter how awakened the ability or Drug stimulation, it is impossible to exceed the upper limit.

Of course, if you are alienated from the earth dragon—note, this is alienation, not the awakening of abilities. Simply put, like the third brother, you can spin silk when you become a spider, and you can regenerate limbs when you become an earthworm.But in this case, it's hard to say whether you are still a human being.

Moreover, this kind of regeneration is to regenerate after cutting off a piece. If you are born without a limb or organ, it cannot be born.That is to say, even if you alienate from the earth dragon, it is impossible for you to grow a third hand out of thin air.

So this matter is moved to the heart, that is, supernatural powers can cure arteriosclerosis and heart failure, but they cannot cure congenital heart disease. If you have this problem, even people with supernatural powers can only undergo surgery.Of course, if the condition is too serious, then surgery will not solve the problem, only... death.

"Then the living stone you mentioned is okay?" No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

"The living stone can't give you a good heart, but it can replace your heart." He Maochuan said in a firm tone.

"Heart transplant?" Shao Jingxing asked suspiciously.This is not surprising, human medicine can also do it.

Ka Maochuan almost growled: "No! The living stone can be used by anyone, no matching is required, and there is no rejection at all, because it provides pure energy! Maybe it's not just the heart, but any organ. can be replaced!"

Shao Jingxing couldn't believe it: "What's the reason? Besides, is there any evidence?"

Speaking of this kind of questioning, He Maochuan should have taught the other party a lesson severely, and it is not surprising that he even killed him directly.But Shao Jingxing was already a dying person, and He Maochuan had been holding back this matter for too long, he didn't care about Shao Jingxing's doubts, but told him a big secret.

"Do you know why Emperor Murakami died in his prime?"

Shao Jingxing looked at He Mochuan speechlessly, he doesn't even know who the Emperor Murakami is, okay?The ghost knows when and why he died.

"Emperor Murakami should have died young."

After He Maochuan revealed this shocking secret, he realized that Shao Jingxing had a "what are you talking about" expression on his face, and he was so angry that he almost gasped: "You don't even know about Emperor Murakami!"

The emperor of your family, why should I know?

Of course, Shao Jingxing couldn't say that, he could only answer as politely as possible: "I don't know much about foreign history..." In fact, he didn't know much about his own history either.

One of the most proud secrets in He Maochuan's life, he rarely had the opportunity to reveal it, but was repeatedly interrupted.It's almost as if you have to hold back when you are having diarrhea. It doesn't feel too bad.

But what was even worse was that now he really only had one person to confide in, so no matter how aggrieved he felt, he could only pinch his nose and popularize historical knowledge to Shao Jingxing first.

Of course Shao Jingxing was very happy to listen - not willing to listen to Japanese history, but willing to dawdle time - maybe after a while, Huo Qing would come.

So after 10 minutes, Shao Jingxing finally understood that Emperor Murakami was the emperor of the Heian period, and the Heian period was the time when the Kamo family was at its peak—mainly because at that time He Maozhongxing had not yet cultivated Abe Seimei, And he was famous himself.

For this "heyday" when "the situation is just right because the opponent is not yet famous", Shao Jingxing decided to just complain in his heart. Anyway, this is not the point. The point is that Emperor Murakami was a congenital heart when he was born!

Xianxiner, even now is a worrying thing, let alone at that time.Emperor Murakami was able to be established as the crown prince with such a sick and disabled body. On the one hand, it was because his mother was in the middle palace, and on the other hand, it was because of the push of the Fujiwara clan at that time.

"It is to establish the young emperor, and then follow the example of Dong Zhuo and Wang Mang." Shao Jingxing understood this immediately.Of course, a sick and weak emperor has no energy to regent, and then he loses power or something. This is not too common in history.

He was finally able to draw inferences from one instance to another, and He Maochuan felt strangely relieved.

In fact, he had already regretted choosing Shao Jingxing as his conversation partner just now—he thought he was a dying warrior, but he didn't expect him to be an ignorant tease... Talking to him is exhausting, and he has to do common sense science first, God knows he's here to show off, not to be a history teacher!

But it's a little easier now.He Maochuan comforted himself.Anyway, he is dying, so don't be angry with him.

"In order to make Emperor Murakami live longer, the Fujiwara family also sought out many onmyojis to cure the emperor, but none of them worked."

It's so easy to have such a suitable puppet, if it doesn't last long, it's not worthwhile to get stuck and die, so the Fujiwara family also made efforts, but it was useless.

In fact, this is of course, because no matter what kind of onmyoji, there is no way to cure the heart of the crown prince at that time-of course, there was no such thing as congenital heart disease at that time, and no one knew that the crown prince had a heart defect One piece—Shao ​​Jingxing guessed, it might be due to the lack of mitral valve or something, which cannot be cured with magic.

But then, finally, a capable person appeared.This person is called Ashiya Aoi.

"Isn't He Mao Zhongxing?" Seeing that He Maochuan was so proud, Shao Jingxing thought it was someone from their He Mao family who did this great thing, but it turned out that he was out of reach?

Chatting like him is easy to kill the day.And when facing a dangerous person, it is even possible to kill yourself.Shao Jingxing saw that He Maochuan's face was infinitely approaching the bottom of the pot, so he quickly changed the subject: "Ashiwukui, is she a female onmyoji?"

If he remembers correctly, Aoi seems to be a female name in Japan.As for this surname, one can tell at a glance that he is a poor guy from a commoner background.

If it wasn't because Shao Jingxing was the only person alive in front of him, He Maochuan could really strangle him to death.However, the secret has already been half-told, it's like pulling out half of the beep——, I can't retract it anymore, and find another opportunity to pull it again.So He Maochuan endured and endured, and continued to talk, but secretly swore in his heart that when he found Pi Hanxi, he would definitely torture Shao Jingxing severely before letting him die, in order to avenge his torture now .

"It's a man. Aoi used his mother's name in memory of his mother."

Ashiya Aoi was indeed a poor man who was born in a shabby hut, and his father was unknown, so he only lived with his mother. One can imagine what kind of life he lived.

Before he was born, his mother was said to have been so poor that she hanged herself.Pregnancy was not a happy event for her at all, but an unbearable burden-she couldn't afford a child.

Originally, she was going to ask the woman in the village for a prescription to get rid of the child, but when she was about to go out, she found a pair of colorful moths flying in the yard.The beautiful pair of moths landed on the herbs planted under her window, and after the pair had flown away, she found a jewel in the grass.

"Gem?" Shao Jingxing felt that he was talking about the Arabian Nights.

Ka Maochuan is obviously not interested in this detail: "It is recorded like this in the book, or it may be rumored by later generations, or it is just a more beautiful stone." The main reason is to explain that Ms. Aoi, that is, Aoi Ashiya Mother—she thought it was a good omen, proving that she might be pregnant with a star descending to earth or something, so she didn't abort the child, but gave birth to Aoi Ashiya.

As a result, the childbirth process was not wonderful. Ashiya Aoi fell to the ground, and his mother died—not from dystocia or hemorrhage, but from heart failure or similar diseases. The book does not describe it in detail, because it is not It doesn't matter, the important thing is that Ashiya Aoi showed the talent of an onmyoji as soon as he was born, and his spiritual power caused heavy snow to fall in the yard of his house in May.

Awakening!Strong powers!When Shao Jingxing heard this, his first reaction was this—Ashi Wukui, like Huo Qing, had awakened his powers in his mother's womb, what the hell died of heart failure, probably because of the awakening of his powers!

How Ashiya Aoi grew up and how he became an onmyoji is not recorded in the books. He suddenly appeared in front of the emperor when he was 20 years old, and claimed to be able to cure the crown prince's illness.Then, he really hit it off.

"Just use that living stone? How did you use it?" Shao Jingxing felt that it was a fantasy again.

"He replaced Emperor Murakami's heart with a living stone."

"What?" Is it Frankenstein again?

"It's true." He Maochuan said until now, feeling that his passion had been worn out by Shao Jingxing, and he felt boring when he talked about such a wonderful place. "At that time, he brought a red stone and In the secret room, a heart-changing technique was performed for the crown prince. After the death of Emperor Murakami, someone in the later generations wanted to verify whether the matter was true or not, so they robbed Emperor Murakami's tomb, and found the stone among the bones."

Shao Jingxing was dumbfounded, and asked for a long time: "Who dares to rob your emperor's tomb? Open the coffin for an autopsy!"

He Maochuan replied indifferently: "Naturally, he is someone who wants to change his mind." Of course, he would not dare to do this without any power, but as for who it was, he didn't need to tell Shao Jingxing, and said that he stole his own emperor. Tomb, does it sound good?

"So this is actually true?" Shao Jingxing said incredulously, "Ashiya Aoi really replaced Emperor Murakami's heart with a stone?"

Ka Mogawa nodded: "Emperor Murakami died suddenly at the age of 42. The concubine who served him at the time claimed that he saw a five-color moth resting on the emperor's body. According to the concubine's description, the five-color moth and Ashiya Aoi were born before , The five-colored moth that appeared under his mother's window is exactly the same. So everyone said that Ashiya Aoi's real body is a five-colored moth, and he used his own vitality to continue the life of the emperor."

Why does this story sound gay... Shao Jingxing looked embarrassed: "What about Ashiya Kui?"

The expression on He Mochuan's face was a bit subtle: "He stayed with the Emperor until the Emperor died."

"Impossible!" Shao Jingxing said without hesitation, "If that's the case, he should be very famous." Definitely not worse than He Maozhongxing's reputation!And it is impossible not to occupy a place in the wild history of the novel.

"His existence has been erased." Ka Mogawa said with a cold face, "It was because he broke with Emperor Murakami and left that the Emperor died in his prime."

This is even gayer.Shao Jingxing made up [-] words in an instant.

The young crown prince met a young and promising savior and stayed with him for decades.Then the youth became old, but the emperor was in his prime, so the favor was no longer there, and the enemies turned against each other.Ashiya Aoi left, and his five-color moth also left, and the emperor was taken with him.In order to deceive the public, Aoi Ashiya was erased from the history books, leaving no trace.

It's really a good story, with a complete beginning, succession, transition, and supernatural color, and a poignant ending.The only question is: "Where did the living stone come from?" As for the five-color moth spirit, forget it.Just look at Ashiya Aoi's ability is ice-type, and it has nothing to do with the big fluttering moth.

Finally talking about the proudest part, Ka Maochuan finally raised some interest again: "My family got a notebook from Aoi Ashiya, which records that he found a living stone from an extremely cold river in the world of mountains and seas. "Of course, Ashiya Aoi didn't know that it was the world of mountains and seas, he entered it unintentionally, but now Ka Mochuan has understood that it is a naturally occurring barrier crack.

After getting this notebook, the Ka Mo family attached great importance to it, but until their family was suppressed by Abe Seimei, they failed to find another crack.On the contrary, Abe Seimei happened to enter the world of mountains and seas during a night tour of the Hyakki.Moreover, He Maochuan suspected that he also got a living stone, so he was able to control the twelve shikigami.

Manipulating shikigami requires spiritual power, and the more powerful the shikigami, the deeper spiritual power it needs.Abe Seimei can have twelve powerful shikigami, and his spiritual power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary onmyojis.Therefore, He Maochuan believed that he used living stones to increase his spiritual power, because in normal times, the spiritual power he displayed was not that deep.

Shao Jingxing had reservations about this, but he didn't open his mouth. He just listened to He Maochuan say: "Someone in my family has been looking for the door to enter, until my grandfather found the river and named it 'Lengchuan'."

"Then did he get the living stone?"

"No." He Maochuan's face darkened for a moment, "The water in that river was too cold. My grandfather saw several live rocks at the bottom of the water, but he couldn't dive into the water."

At the beginning, Ashiya Aoi's ability was ice-type, which may be the reason why he was able to get into the water to obtain the living stone, but the others couldn't, and couldn't stand the cold at all.Ka Maochuan's grandfather tried twice, but was almost frozen to death in the river, and his body was damaged because of this, and he died within a few years.

"So you want to ward off the cold rhinoceros, because you want to use it to drive away the cold so that you can enter Lengchuan?" Shao Jingxing understood now.Looking at He Maochuan, he is neither ice-type nor fire-type, and maybe even his ability level is not very strong, so of course he can't enter Lengchuan.

"Yes." Kamogawa said calmly, "I want to gain vitality and reproduce the glory of the Kamo family!" If Seimei Abe can do it, so can he!

"Okay, now that I've finished talking, let's go." The new wife and Xuenv had finished eating, and He Maochuan's face turned ruddy a lot, as if he was the one who ate, and stood up vigorously.

Seeing him like this, Shao Jingxing suddenly had a creepy thought: "You and them..." are one?

Ka Maochuan didn't seem to want to answer: "Let's go." This practice is taboo even in the Onmyoji profession, but he must use these shikigami to help maintain his life and physical strength.

"Hehe, that..." Shao Jingxing didn't want to go with him.

"Do you want to die now?" He Maochuan's eyes turned cold, and the bride immediately put a sticker in front of Shao Jingxing, her extremely red lips pouted playfully.

"He doesn't want to die now, nor does he want to go with you." Shao Jingxing's longing voice sounded, and Huo Qing appeared at the edge of the forest, "It's better to keep your shikigami away from him, he doesn't like it spider."
