long way home

Chapter 16 The Sword - Visiting the Honmaru

Diarmuid watched helplessly as his lord was hooked up by a group of short-sighted teenagers with furry (and dumb).

And he himself was ordered to sit on the porch to bask in the sun to recuperate, and was entrusted to the Ping An old knife who relied on the old and refused to work to watch him.

"Please leave it to us!" Mikazuki Zongjin accepted the task with a smile, "It's not easy for Hasebe to accuse us of not working!"

At this time, Yingmaru had found a set of tea sets out of nowhere, and was cooking tea on the small stove.

"Since the lord wants to drink tea here, it's unreasonable not to deserve some refreshments." Xiaohuwan stood up after speaking, "Xiaohu went to the kitchen to find a candlestick and asked for some fried tofu."

"That's so embarrassing!" Although Tsurumaru Kuninaga said this, he didn't stop Xiaohumaru, but shouted at Xiaohumaru's back: "By the way, let Guangzai prepare some three-color balls." !"

Not to mention helping Candlestick Qie Guangzhong and taking the initiative to make trouble...

Today's Ping An veterans are also sparing no effort to refresh the lower limit, gratifying to congratulate ╮(╯_╰)╭

"My lord came to Honmaru yesterday, and I haven't had time to take a good look around." Ranto Shiro walked backwards at the front of the blade group with his hands behind his back, and said to his friends enthusiastically, "Let's show you around Honmaru!"

"That's right! In terms of familiarity with the Honmaru, no one is better than us!" Imamu also raised his hand in agreement. After all, the little knives always like to play hide-and-seek together, and they have trampled every corner of this Honmaru. up.

With He Si's current height and appearance, he doesn't feel out of place among a group of short-cut boys.At this moment, he was holding a little tiger in his arms, with a little tiger on his shoulder, and the other three were still chasing after him.

The five tigers retreated and followed He Si, not only afraid that he would trip over the little tiger under his feet, but also afraid that he would accidentally drop the little tiger on his shoulders.

Seeing the cubs who usually only chased the five tigers back, they were all scrambling to cuddle with He Si, and couldn't help sighing, "My lord is really welcomed by the cubs!"

"Well, I have raised similar furry little guys before, so I have a lot of experience with them." He Si thought that it was his skillful grooming skills that conquered the little tigers, but in fact this was only one aspect.The most important thing is that the five tigers' strong gratitude to him was also passed on to the little tigers, so the little tigers spared no effort to please him.

Of course, this matter, including the retreat of the five tigers in question, was unknown to everyone, so He Si's answer was naturally taken as the correct answer.

Natsuo Toshiro guessed, "What is the adult raising? A kitten?"

"Hmm... a green dumpling of unknown species, or a spirit would be more appropriate." He Si was talking about the wooden talisman ghost that was given to him in Fumo Mountain.In the previous crossing accident, the wooden talisman ghost was also separated from him.Thinking of this, he muttered to himself: "Now that Diarmuid has been found, the next one is to find that little guy."

He Ji's voice was too low, so Natsuo Toshiro couldn't hear the second half of his sentence clearly.But before he could ask, he heard Rantoshiro say, "Here we are, this is Honmaru's open-air hot spring!"

Atsuto Shiro pushed open the wooden door, revealing the hot spring pool behind.

This is an open-air hot spring that covers a large area. There is a path paved with bluestone slabs beside the pool, and there are rockery dotted in the pool.The surrounding is surrounded by wooden fences to block the outside sight, but the people inside can enjoy the distant scenery and the blue sky to their heart's content.

At this moment, there is steaming hot air floating above the hot spring, and the water vapor in the air is also mixed with a faint sulfur smell.

"Although each bedroom is equipped with a separate bathroom, it is a real enjoyment to have a hot spring to soak in!" Ranto Shiro stretched his hand into the hot spring to fiddle with the pool water, and at the same time greeted He Si, "My lord, come and try it too, the water temperature is just right!"

He Si returned the little tiger to the five tigers, and walked to the pool without hesitation, and put his hand into the hot spring to feel it carefully, "Well, although my perception of spiritual power has deteriorated, I can still feel it. This spring water has the ingredients to nourish the spirit body. It seems that it is necessary to let Diarmuid also come to bubble."

At this time, Hotaru also ran over, "Isn't it? My lord just doesn't know how to enjoy life. I haven't been to the hot spring here since I came to Honmaru."

"Yeah. I'll supervise him well!" He Si also felt that the life of his servants was too boring, so he put the matter of taking Diarmuid to soak in the hot springs on the agenda.

After leaving the hot spring, I saw a very spacious platform within a short walk.There are many bamboo poles set up on the platform, on which the washed clothes are dried.

"This is the drying ground of Honmaru." Ranto Shiro, like a competent tour guide, would take the initiative to introduce each time he went to a new place.

The blades surrounded He Si and walked to the edge of the platform. From here, one could see stone steps extending down from the other side of the platform, leading directly to the edge of the crystal clear stream.

"Although I heard that there are such things as fully automatic washing machines in this world, Honmaru's clothes are all washed by hand at present." Natsuo Fujishiro stuck out his tongue with his head tilted, and pointed to the wooden plank road built next to the water under the stone steps, "That's right. washed there."

Seeing He Si's slightly puzzled expression, Yaken Toshiro explained: "Because the Honmaru exists in isolation, the electricity is generated entirely by the stream pushing the wooden waterwheel over there, which is only enough for lighting at night. Other electrical appliances Can't afford it at all."

"That's right, the kitchen also uses ancient cooking utensils like the stove!" Taiko Zhong Zhenzong couldn't help complaining when thinking of the candlestick Kiri Mitsutada who worked hard every day. "If only there was an induction cooker or something!"

"And the washing machine, induction cooker and so on are also very expensive. We can't afford it with the little money we saved." Hakata Toshiro, who was Honmaru's former accountant, was very resentful. He didn't have much capital, and he had nothing to do with his business talent. ah!

"Well, there is no solution to the money problem for the time being, but I can solve the energy problem." He Si is a technological talent who can make a brain. Although he can't use magic now and he has become a waste of life, he can get some parts. Assembling a solar generator or something is a piece of cake for him.

"Wow!" As soon as the words came out, the teenagers cheered.

While talking, everyone went down the stone steps to the wooden plank road.This wooden plank road was built along the creek, stepped on the creaking wooden boards, and walked all the way to the farmland.

"Here is the field. Most of the food and vegetables we usually eat are produced in Honmaru. There is also a pergola area in the distance, where some cucumbers and grapes are planted." Rando Shiro pointed to the mountain at the end of the field and said: "The There are still fruit trees on the mountain, but only this side of the mountain can be climbed, and the other side is a cliff."

He Si looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, "A cliff?"

Hirano Toshiro replied: "Yes, the Honmaru is surrounded by such mountains."

"So Honmaru is a basin terrain." He Si stroked his chin as if thinking, "Then beyond the cliff is the turbulent flow of time and space, so that the mountain peak becomes a natural barrier. Sure enough, there are still capable people in the Government of Time. Existence, come up with this demiplane-like technology for building Honmaru."

"Yan Rong!" At this time, Jin Jian saw Yan Rong who was weeding in the field, and ran over to say hello.

"Oh? Jinjian, why did you come to play in the field?" The tall orange-haired Naginata Fu Sangshen put down the hoe in his hand, picked up the towel on his shoulders, wiped the soil on his hands, and caught it I caught Jin Jian who rushed over.

"Let's show He Si-sama to visit the Honmaru." Jin Jian happily played the game of lifting high with his partner Yan Rong, and took time to answer his questions.

"Oh, it's that lord!" Smiling Qingjiang, who was with Yan Rong, also walked over at this time, "My name is Smiling Qingjiang, and it's the knife that cuts ghosts! If you have any supernatural troubles , feel free to come to me! If it's about 'growth' troubles, you can also... Wow!"

Yaken Toshiro saw the corners of Smiling Qingjiang's lips curled up evilly, so he knew that if he didn't say something nice, he walked up to him and stretched out his hand to twist the soft flesh in his lower back. The pain caused Smiling Qingjiang to scream, interrupted his unfinished words.

"Slaying ghosts? I remember it." He Si simply ignored the second half of his sentence, and just gave a simple politeness.

Yan Rong was very good at taking care of the petite teenagers. He warmly entertained He Si and the others. With the Imam sword on his shoulder, he took everyone to visit the farmland, and enthusiastically pointed out which crops that could be eaten raw had matured.

The teenagers were not polite either, they picked some fruits and vegetables, washed them by the well, handed some to He Si, and everyone shared the rest.

The crops here are nourished by Honmaru's spiritual power, so they grow very fast and taste very good, but it takes more energy to cultivate them.

Eating fresh and pollution-free fruits and vegetables, He Si once again focused on the modernization of Honmaru.

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Yanrong and the pale smiling Qingjiang (remembering the "tragic" experience of being tested by Yaken Toshiro), he heard the neighing of a horse before walking far.

What came into view was a stable with wooden walls.

Natsuo Toshiro pushed open the door of the stable with ease and walked in, and greeted the horses one by one, "Everyone, long time no see, do you miss me?"

"Honmaru still raises horses?" He Si had never ridden a horse.Once he went out on a spaceship, and later he disapparated when he went out, but he rarely walked on his own feet, let alone rode such a primitive means of transportation.

Seeing that the brothers all came to the horse to ask for their care, Gukui Toshiro's face was slightly stiff, and he explained in his unwavering voice, "Sometimes you have to travel a long distance when you go out to battle or expedition, and carrying horses can improve your health." speed of movement."

He Si nodded to express his understanding.

At this time, the few blades over there suddenly became noisy.

Toshiro Maeda and Toshiro Noto were holding Natsuo Toshiro desperately from left to right, and Toshiro Akita waved his arms in front of him to stop him, but Toshiro Ranto stood aside to watch the fun.

Somehow Toshiro Natsuo developed a hobby of smashing horse manure. This time he reunited with the horses after a long absence and wanted to "return to the old business".

The other blades tried their best to stop the fish from the pond, so Luan relied on his unparalleled speed to add fuel to the fire with a smile on his face, "Brother Cattail hasn't come for a long time, Little Skylark and the others want to kill you!"

Yaken Toshiro supported his forehead, "Don't add to the chaos!"

In the end, Gukuu Toshiro stepped forward helplessly, grabbed the catfish tail by its low ponytail and dragged him out of the stable, ending the farce.

Finally, everyone came to the training ground.Because everyone is busy preparing for the banquet, the training ground is empty at this time.

The "tour guide" Ranto Shiro is receiving the lesson of Yaken Toshiro, so he can't separate himself from him for the time being.

The five tigers retreated holding the little tiger and stood next to He Si, "This is the training ground, and we usually practice here. Of course, we all use wooden knives, so we won't hurt each other."

Wuji Zhenzong added with a smile: "My lord is very powerful! Here, a wooden spear picked up the sword man who overturned the entire Honmaru. It really makes me feel ashamed."

He Si also praised and said: "Diarmuid is indeed very powerful, his martial arts have reached perfection."

"Oh? I really want to challenge the general!" Atsuto Shiro, who just returned, has never experienced the fear of being dominated by the god-inspecting wooden gun. He is very eager to try.

"Master He Si, don't you want to try your skills? We can be your training partner!" Finally got rid of Yaoyan's "nagging" and came over. Under the gun of the attacker, there is no power to fight back.

"I'll let it go!" He Si waved his hand and refused, "Even when I was still able to use magic, I wasn't good at close combat (now I'm even more of a scumbag)."

Ranto Shiro had no choice but to regretfully give up the idea of ​​getting back the place.

At this time, Hasebe, who was cutting and cutting, came to inform them that they were ready to have lunch.

So, this visit to Honmaru has come to a successful conclusion!

The author has something to say:

Before that, He Si and Dilumudo had been to the world of "Xuanyuan Sword Three Gaiden: Scars of the Sky" (game version), and accidentally rescued the protagonist Chen Jingchou and his master Chen Fu in Fumo Mountain.So young man Jingchou gave He Si a ghost valley charm, from which he summoned a lovely wooden talisman ghost, it was a soft glutinous dumpling with tender willow-colored hair, a big tail behind it, and short hands and feet.

In fact, there is another harvest from the trip to Fumo Mountain, but now He Si has forgotten about that stuff, and it will appear as a new map clue in the future.

By the way, when He Si saw Zong San's different-colored pupils, the old man he thought of was Yu Wentuo, the grand master of the Sui Dynasty who was reincarnated from the Kunlun Mirror.

As far as He Si's action is concerned, I believe there will be hot spring benefits soon (^o^)/~ hey!
