Blind monk of the Uchiha family

Chapter 143 When Counting, Draw Orthographic Numbers

It cannot be said that Mang Xing did not expect that monsters like sprites were man-made.

After all, the setting of "monsters that can't harm witches" is too weird no matter how you think about it.

Moreover, Mang Xing can understand their purpose of creating sprites.

In this war-torn world, a new force—ninjas using Chakra—appeared, and cooperated with the country's daimyo to fight everywhere.

Miko, who represents the traditional forces, also had to find ways to protect her own rule.

"The intention of your ancestors was just to better protect their own country. Otherwise, the sprites would not have been sealed in the temple for generations, and have never been really used."

Mang Xing coiled his slender body in a circle, and he was not used to being a dragon for the first time.

"In the final analysis, it is right for human beings to pursue unknown knowledge and power. Your ancestors also made remedies after realizing their mistakes. I don't think there is anything to criticize."

Perhaps, the witches discovered that the existence of sprites is out of control, or maybe there are enemies in the world that sprites cannot fight against.

The ruler of the kingdom of ghosts made up his mind and sealed the war weapon he had made—the sprites in the temple.

The power of sprites poses a great threat to civilians. Although the kingdom of ghosts is unable to use sprites to expand, other countries dare not provoke the kingdom of ghosts.

The power of witches and ninjas has cleverly reached a certain balance point, and the kingdom of ghosts has thus obtained a hard-won long-term peace.

Now that the sprites have been completely wiped out, whether the Ghost Country will become fat in the eyes of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Earth is another matter.

"Instead of caring about these things, why don't you check to see if your ancestors have left any clues in the stone chamber to go back?"

Mang Xing crawled on the ground, staring at the girl in front of him with a pair of big eyes.

"Since we can summon sprites to the world, there's no reason why we can't leave, right?"

"En!" The girl cheered up after hearing what Man Xing said. "I'll go in and check all the information carefully!"

It is only a last resort to perish with sprites.

Now that the monsters have been completely wiped out, and there is still hope of survival, she is naturally unwilling to give up easily.

"I'll watch you at the door, don't worry go in!"

Maitreya nodded, turned around and went into the cave behind him again.

Following the girl's departure, Mang Xing stretched out his body, and the whole dragon hovered over the entrance of the cave, sealing the exit tightly.

Being too big, he couldn't go in with the girl, so he could only wait outside.

Moreover, there was no danger in the underworld, and he couldn't leave Maitreya alone to observe around.

As far as the awning star can see near the cave, like the chaotic sky, it is all a foggy gray.

gray earth, gray stone...

To describe it in one word is monotonous.

"Ha~ How long has it been?"

Mang Xing yawned boredly, and found that there was a problem with his concept of time.

"Sure enough, the monotonous environment will give people an illusion."

Maitreya has confirmed that there is no threat in the cave, and he will not take the initiative to urge the girl to come out.

So he raised his paw and drew the orthographic characters on the ground.

In the cave, Maitreya was carefully studying the words and pictures on the stone wall.

"For souls entering the underworld, chakra will continue to dissipate into the air, so the soul will eventually fall into silence."

The girl read out the words on the stone wall, and didn't realize that there was anything wrong at the first time.

After a simple glance, he checked other content.

Then, she suddenly turned her head and read it word by word again.

"If there is no 'food', the soul in the underworld will also fall into 'death'. It's just that this death is only a temporary state, and it may be revived at any time."

"In other words, the remaining time is limited, so what is the food?"

The girl tried her best to distinguish the pictures on the stone wall, but the age was too old, and the content in the pictures was very abstract.

She couldn't make out what it was either.

"Forget it, let's find a way to get out of here first."

None of this matters as long as you can find a way out of here.

……

"Has it been so long?"

Mang Xing, who was guarding outside, was lost in thought as he looked at the densely packed orthographic characters under his paws.

Now he is sure that this is not an illusion caused by the monotony of the environment.

It's that there is indeed a problem with my own perception of time.

"Why do I feel like only a few minutes have passed?"

Even if a straight character is counted in five seconds, the rough statistics of the straight characters on the ground are as long as one hour.

Mang Xing was a little unclear about the situation.

At this time, he felt the feeling of being touched from behind.

He twitched a little itchy on his back, and heard the exclamation of the girl in the cave behind him:

"what!"

Mang Xing soared into the sky, pressed Zhengzi under his body, and looked at Maitreya who fell down at the entrance of the cave.

"I have good news and bad news."

The girl sat on the ground with her hands on her sides. Instead of blaming Mang Xing for making her fall, she asked instead:
"Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Hmm... good news?"

"I have found a way to get out of here." The girl's flat tone could not hear any emotion.

"What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that we need to find a 'food' to get out of here."

"Food?" Mang Xing repeated the word and felt that he had grasped a certain point: "That's not a problem, let's find it together, as long as it exists, we can always find it."

However, the girl was a little discouraged, and lay down on the ground regardless of her image: "There is another bad news. If there is no food, we will also fall into a dormant state, as if dying again."

"So, food is the key to survival in the underworld."

Mang Xing suddenly realized that the human body needs to eat, and the soul also needs to replenish energy.

"So, what is soul food?"

"That's the problem. The records here don't explain what 'food' is. We can only search aimlessly here."

The discouraged girl felt hopeless.

"How long do you think it took you to decipher the information inside."

Mang Xing suddenly changed the subject and asked an inexplicable question.

"It probably took more than two hours." Mitreya didn't know what Mang Xing was doing, and continued: "There are only so many things in it. I have seen everything I can see, and I won't miss anything."

After hearing this, Mang Xing quietly erased the orthographic characters under him with his body: "Oh, I'm just worried, let's confirm again. Since there is no more valuable information here, let's hurry up and leave!"
