Chapter 273: Thunder String Vibration
Sasayuri and Takamine walked to the side, each picked up a wooden bow and tested the weight.
Sasayuri looked at a dream tree. Its pink petals were in full bloom, and from time to time dozens of petals fell, forming a colorful scene.
"In this first round, the target is the falling petals. There is no limit to the technique. Start counting from the petals that fall the fastest. The one who gets ten petals first wins."
"Yes." Gao Ling held the bow and was ready for battle.
Sasayuri looked at him appreciatively, a smile appeared on her lips, and she said, "Okay, let's start!"
After the order was given, a man and a demon drew their bows and arrows, waiting for the target to fall.
A breeze blew by, and there was movement in the treetops. Two pink petals fell, and then two arrows were shot out. One arrow hit the tree trunk and was nailed to the tree trunk, and the other arrow also hit the tree trunk and fell into the water.
Both sides scored one point each. Gao Ling was amazed, but his fighting spirit became stronger. If he could defeat the great demon general Tengu, he would surely become famous. Which young man would not want to become famous and win the heart of a beautiful woman?
This idea made him fight more courageously. After shooting seven arrows, he missed with two arrows and only got six petals. However, Sasayuri's archery skills were such that she could hit the target from a hundred steps away and take the head of an enemy general, let alone the petals which were more than ten steps away.
Whoosh, another arrow came out. After Sasayuri hit the target, she nocked another arrow and shot it out instantly, hitting the target directly. She also pierced one more piece, making a total of ten pieces.
In the first game, there was no doubt that Yuri Sasa won.
"The great demon general's archery skills are really strong!" Gao Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the empty arrow dropped on the ground, his eyes showing even deeper determination.
"Let's start the second game, Great Demon General!" Gao Ling tightly grasped the bow in his hand. Even if he knew he was going to lose, he would never admit defeat in advance.
"Well, but before we start, I want to add some stakes to this competition. Do you accept that?" Sasayuri noticed the group of white-haired foxes approaching and asked slowly.
Gao Ling nodded immediately and said, "That's good, but I don't know what the great demon general wants to bet on?"
Sasayuri flipped his hand and a purple bow appeared in his hand. He looked at the bow and slowly introduced it, "This bow is a bow given by the general. It is called Flying Thunder String Vibration."
"If you can win the next two games, this bow will be yours."
"The inscribed bow bestowed by the general." Gao Ling muttered to himself and swallowed excitedly.
The Shogun is the ultimate goal that all the warriors of Inazuma can achieve. The legendary sword that is close to the ultimate martial arts is the motivation for all warriors to strive for.
With one strike of the sword, the sea of clouds dispersed, the sky became clear and the earth was bright. Nothing could stop him and no one could reach his limit. He could move mountains, overturn seas, and destroy cities. He was omnipotent and unrivaled in the world.
This inscribed bow made by the general is naturally a great temptation to a martial young man. Just imagine how glorious it would be to have this bow as a betrothal gift?
"Great Demon General, is this really possible?" Gao Ling's voice was trembling, and not just his voice, his entire body was trembling. Excitement and shock filled his heart and affected his entire body.
Sasalis nodded and said, "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. If you can win, this bow will naturally be yours. But if I win, what can you bring me?"
"I..." Gao Ling was stunned on the spot, as if petrified, his mind racing, thinking about his current value. After a long time, he spoke firmly: "I can always obey the orders of the Great Demon General. I will never disobey your orders!"
"Hahaha, okay, that's settled. If you lose, you will come with me to the Shogunate army to train hard before you get married!" Seeing that he was cheerful, Sasayuri also laughed. He hadn't seen such an interesting human child for a long time, and he was in a good mood.
A good man should have great ambitions, and should be neither humble nor arrogant when facing a strong person. This young man did what Sasaryuri wanted to do back then.
Although times have changed, he still has high hopes for this young man and thinks he is a talented person who can be employed.
"Come on, let's have the second round!"
"Yes!"
The demon and the man ignited the fire in their hearts. At that moment, they had tall and strong bodies and their faces were full of vigor and vitality. This was how a young man should look, and it was also the most contagious posture.
Even Sasa Yuri, who has lived for so long, is filled with emotion. She wants to find her former partners and fly in the sky together, without fear of any obstacles or clouds blocking their eyes.
Kitsaigong covered his mouth and chuckled: "Look, they are all full of fighting spirit."
"Gaoling, great demon general." Asase looked at them drawing their bows and arrows, and gradually only the young man was left in his eyes, with no room for anything else.
The second match ended quickly under everyone's watch, and Sasayuri was the winner again. According to the rule of best-of-three games, Gaoling was already the loser.
"I lost..." Gao Ling lowered his head, making it impossible to see his facial expression, but from his hoarse voice, one could tell that he was not very emotional.
After a moment's hesitation, Sasayuri said, "Don't be so dejected. The shogunate army..."
"Yes! I will treat this position well and will not let the Great Demon General down! I will definitely become the general as soon as possible and come back to marry Asase!" Gao Ling looked up at the sky, stretched out his fist, and shouted loudly.
The shout spread throughout the Naruto-taisha Shrine, and many shrine maidens heard it and turned their eyes to the girl who had just arrived, with smiles on their faces.
Asase covered his face with his hands and whispered, "Don't shout it out, you idiot! Everyone will know about it!"
"Haha, isn't this great? A love that is mutual should be blessed. Asase, don't be shy. What if one day he really comes to propose to you and you don't accept because of shyness, who knows what this child will do!" Kitsune Saimiya said with a smile to comfort him.
Mo Ran teased the pink-haired fox on his shoulder with one hand and said faintly, "This doesn't sound like comforting, does it?"
"Oh, it's probably like this anyway. I'm really looking forward to your wedding!" Kitsusaigong touched the girl's head and whispered softly.
Asase raised his head slightly, looked at the Lord of the Palace who had the face of the moon, and hummed in a very subtle voice.
Afterwards, the boy pulled the girl aside and whispered to her. Several monsters and a human who were acting as matchmakers in the world lay in the corner behind the house and listened.
The fox ears of Huzhai Palace twitched, and it was estimated that a lot of new novel ideas had been born in his mind, and a fantastic picture was emerging in his mind.
"He is indeed a young boy who has just begun to fall in love. When he sees his sweetheart, his legs can't move, as if she is the only one in the world." Hu Zhaigong murmured softly.
Mo Ran pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't expect that the Palace Master, who has been single until now, would know this!"
"Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't mean you can't fantasize about it. Isn't it the novelist's responsibility to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone to depict a fantasy world that exists in this world but is somewhat different for readers to enjoy?" Hu Zhaigong suddenly said seriously.
Sasalis smiled slightly, and Nuo Yu said, "You are only more serious when talking about novels."
Mo Ran nodded in agreement, and the Eightfold Son of God on his shoulder also nodded in unison. Their expressions and movements, except for the difference in species, were exactly the same.
"You two are jealous. Humph, I won't bother with you. Son of God, come back to the bedroom with me." Kitsune Saimiya stretched out an arm, wanting the little fox to climb onto his shoulder.
"Chirp." Yae Shinto shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he didn't want to go back.
Hu Zhaigong closed his eyes slightly, staring at the man in black clothes, with a resentful look as if he was looking at a heartless man, and said unhappily: "You have led the Son of God astray, and now he won't even get close to me!"
"This is a very wise choice. It shows that she has the ability to distinguish right from wrong at a young age!" Mo Ran touched the little fox's head, his eyes full of kindness.
"Hmph, Son of God, we're having fried tofu tonight, as much as you want!" Hu Zhaigong said in a loud and clear voice.
Yae Shinko's expression was obviously shaken. That was fried tofu, her favorite, something she would never give up. When she thought of its subtle texture and taste, her tail couldn't stop wagging.
Seeing this, Hu Zhaigong raised his eyebrows, as if in provocation, and said, "I can make so much fried tofu for the little fox, what are you going to take out, Mo Ran?"
If it was the same trick, he would probably have to be busy in the kitchen for a while. As for the other tricks, Hu Zhaigong was confident that the temptation of fried tofu could outweigh everything.
Just as Kitsaigong guessed, Yae Shinko looked at the man in black with tears in his eyes, looking very pitiful.
Mo Ran smiled and said kindly, "If you want to go ahead, go ahead. I'm not disagreeing with you. But in the future, the gate and walls of the castle tower will be renovated. Remember to refrain from coming here if you have nothing to do. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat fried tofu, but there will be plenty of soup."
This smile made Yae Shinto feel frightened. He rubbed Mo Ran's neck quickly, then without even looking at anyone else, he buried his head in sleep to show his loyalty.
Kitsai Palace was furious. Seeing her own fox being kidnapped by an outsider, she felt very uncomfortable, especially since this person was her "sworn enemy". She had not forgotten the pain of the incident with the fried tofu that day.
"Damn you, this stomach-stealing thief! If my fox clan is prosperous, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous!"
Mo Ran smiled faintly and said calmly: "It's a pity that you are weak, but is it because I have been too indulgent towards you recently that you are so rude? If you want to come again..."
"No need! No need at all! Please go slowly, I'm sorry I can't see you off!" Hu Zhaigong took a step back and made a "please" gesture.
"It's easier to invite a god than to send him away. But today is an exception. Lord Palace Master, just stay by yourself." Mo Ran waved his hand and his figure disappeared instantly.
After the black robe disappeared, the resentment and annoyance on Hu Zhaigong's face also disappeared. After all, they had known each other for thousands of years. It was not the case that they would turn against each other at any time. The occasional tit-for-tat was just an exercise in their tongues.
In the castle tower, Mo Ran's figure appeared instantly, and the little fox on his shoulder was shaking. If he hadn't been supported in time, he would have almost fallen down.
It seems that even after experiencing it many times, Yae Shinto is still not used to this kind of movement.
"Is that you, General?" asked the man who was watering the flowers in the yard. He looked to be in his thirties, with his eyes tightly closed and not opening.
Mo Ran opened his mouth and said slowly: "It's me."
"So it's the Lord of the Imperial Palace. I didn't recognize you just now." He put down the kettle, turned around, and said, "Does the Lord need some tea?"
"Make two cups and bring them to my room. Sorry for the trouble." Mo Ran touched the little fox on his shoulder and walked towards the kitchen.
"Yes."
This man seemed to be born blind, but because of this, his other senses were much more sensitive. He was already familiar with the castle tower, so he did not need anyone's help to lead the way and could walk on his own.
This man was an expert in tea-making, and the tea he brewed was praised by both gods. For this reason, he was able to stay in the castle tower and grow flowers himself. Apart from the necessary tea-brewing every day, he had a lot of free time.
He was very skillful, brewed two cups of tea, and then brought them to the door, calling softly, "Master Taishang Yusho, the tea is ready. Gu Shan brought it to you."
