This news left Qingzi somewhat bewildered.
But the next second, joy and happiness filled the little body.
Anyone would be happy to see a prisoner who has been sentenced to life imprisonment regain his freedom, right?
"By the way, you know how to get to Ashina, right? It's the place you called me before. There's a mechanism there that leads directly to the Ashina dungeon. Just give me your name, and the soldiers there won't give you any trouble."
Lu Ye sat down at the Buddha statue.
Before Qingzi could even call out to him, his figure gradually disappeared.
The Mortal Blade will take the life of the person who draws it.
This means Violet's condition will worsen further.
He must go back as soon as possible to check on Violet's condition.
……
The castle tower, the prince's residence.
At this moment, only Violet, Lu Ye, and Emma are here.
Violet is sleeping peacefully, and to allow her to recuperate in peace, Kuro, the prince, almost never sets foot here.
"Dr. Yongzhen, how is the situation?"
"This is very bad. It's probably because you pulled out the Mortal Blade and died again that her body is even weaker. I'm afraid she only has two days left."
"I understand. I'll resolve it within two days."
Lu Ye took out the pure white rice that Xiao Dao had given him, put it in his mouth and began to chew.
The fatigue gradually disappeared, and I felt full of energy again.
"By the way, how is the child of that foreign warrior who came earlier doing?" Lu Ye asked.
Judging from the timeline, the armored samurai should have already arrived in Ashina and met Emma, since Lu Ye pointed out a shortcut for him.
"Ah...that child suffers from a disease I've never seen before. His blood is very unusual, full of impurities. If there were a way to remove it..."
"So, all we need to do is clean the blood, right?"
Lu Ye took out a very small bottle and handed it to Yong Zhen.
"This is?"
"The secret medicine discovered at Senpou Temple seems to be able to purify all liquids and restore them to their original form."
"Really? Thank you, I'll give it a try."
"No, I'm the one who should be thanking you. You're helping to take care of my girl, and you also have to spare the energy to take care of the patients I referred to you..."
“It’s alright, healing others is a doctor’s job.” Yongzhen’s expression was gentle.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
In terms of medical skills, Lu Ye still had great faith in Yongzhen.
She is already highly talented, and standing on the shoulders of a giant (Dao Xuan), her medical skills are already quite advanced. Entrusting this matter to her is definitely not a problem.
As for that small bottle, it was actually a purification potion that I had redeemed from the store before. I didn't expect it to be useful here.
Who told him to hate tragedies?
He didn't want to see Robert's father guarding Senpou Temple day after day to save his son, unaware that his son would eventually become a test subject.
Bian Ruoqingzi was even more pitiful; she had done nothing wrong, yet she was captured and used for experiments.
Yongzhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you leaving now?"
"Well, there are only two days left. Tomorrow I will get the Stone of Bondage to make the Incense of Source and head to the Immortal Realm. Is there anything else?"
"Actually, it's about dragon cough. The teacher's notes say that the contagiousness of dragon cough continues to take effect even after the host dies. In other words, once this child dies, the negative effects of the dragon's blood within him will transfer to those around him, and at that time..."
"The Ashina clan will experience another outbreak of dragon cough, right?" Lu Ye paused. "Are they going to kick us out?"
“Others don’t know about this yet,” Emma said softly. “Although you are the one who saved Ashina, if others find out about this…”
Lu Ye fell silent.
Emma is right. While she saved Ashina, she also planted a "time bomb" there. Once Violet dies, the dragon's cough within her will overflow and infect those around her. The first one to contract the dragon's cough will probably be Emma, who has been by her side day and night.
Although he was confident that he could kill the Sakura Dragon within two days.
But others don't think so.
Genichiro, in particular, values Ashina more than anything else.
Lu Ye didn't mind.
However, Violet still needs someone to take care of her...
"Are you planning to keep this a secret forever?" Lu Ye asked.
“No, I will inform Lord Genichiro immediately. This is also for the sake of the people of Ashina,” Emma said. “But I will not abandon you. There is another place outside Ashina Castle where she can be placed.”
Looking into Yongzhen's clear eyes, Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat: "A dilapidated temple?"
"Exactly."
Chapter 148 Dilapidated Temple
It was dusk, in a bamboo grove on the outskirts of Ashina Castle.
A dilapidated temple stands here, its exterior covered with runes of all sizes, which are Shinto talismans used to suppress resentment.
There is a ghost Buddha statue in the open space of the temple, and warm candlelight flickers within it.
Violet lay on the straw mat, not fully conscious, coughing intermittently.
“That should work,” Yongzhen said.
"Um……"
As Lu Ye spoke, he turned his gaze to the center of the room.
There sat a ragged, hairy, one-armed old man.
He is Yoruichi, a ninja who fought alongside Isshin Ashina during the War of the Usurper. He was later forced to sever his left arm by Isshin because he couldn't suppress his resentment. The grappling hook that Lu Ye is currently using was taken from Yoruichi's gauntlet.
At this moment, he was carving a Buddha statue to suppress his resentment, but no matter how he carved it, he could only depict an angry Buddha.
"Does that girl... have dragon's cough?"
The gorilla immediately recognized Violet's symptoms.
“Yes… I think I’d like to leave her here temporarily,” Yongzhen said.
“It’s alright, I’ll lend you a place to stay.” Zhi Xing looked at Lu Ye, “You’re the kid who defeated the Inner Court? I’ve heard Yongzhen mention you.”
"Yes……"
Thank you.
Lu Ye was taken aback, wondering why the ape was thanking him.
But just as he was about to ask a question, the gorilla turned back to carving a Buddha image.
After Yongzhen finished feeding Violet her medicine, she gestured with her eyes for Lu Ye to go outside and talk.
The two arrived at an open space, and it had started to snow lightly from the sky.
"The gorilla is still so awkward." Yongzhen looked at the hunched figure in the temple and sighed helplessly.
"Why did he thank me before?" Lu Ye asked.
“I also want to thank you for this, Your Excellency,” Yongzhen said. “The gorilla has been doing much better these past few days, and he… can’t hear those sounds anymore.”
"sound?"
“It’s the sound of lamentation. The fear and anger of the murdered will linger in the heart of the killer. The gorilla didn’t know why he killed before, he just killed indiscriminately, which eventually led to him being plagued by lamentation,” Yongzhen said. “A person suffering from the fire of lamentation will attract lamentation from those around him, but you, sir, prevented the war from escalating further, which has greatly improved his situation.”
"I see..."
Lu Ye remembered.
Indeed, according to the timeline three years later, after Isshin Ashina died of illness, the Interior Ministry launched a large-scale attack on Ashina, causing widespread devastation and ultimately leading to Isshin Ashina being unable to bear the immense resentment and transforming into a demon.
“Before you leave, there are two people who want to see you,” Yongzhen said.
"Who?"
“Before he arrives, let me accompany you in sword practice.” Yongzhen did not directly answer Lu Ye’s question, but slowly drew the naginata from his waist.
"So the sword I took when I left wasn't for self-defense."
“Yes, that’s my plan,” Yongzhen said. “The road to the Immortal Realm is fraught with difficulties. If my insignificant swordsmanship can serve as sustenance for your battles, then we can endure it any longer.”
Lu Ye pulled out the wedge ball.
The two began to fight in the bamboo grove next to the temple.
The sound of blades clashing echoed through the bamboo forest.
Both sides fought with all their might.
Yongzhen's sword is very gentle.
She was trained by Isshin Ashina. Although her sword does not have Isshin's "form", it has Isshin's "intention". A thousand people will interpret a thousand different Ashina styles, which is the charm of it.
Lu Ye's sword-wielding technique was both powerful and gentle.
He combined the Ashina style's "Kakei" and "Kagei" techniques with Owl's fierce swordsmanship, creating a style that suited him.
"Your swordsmanship is indeed exquisite. Let's settle this with this move."
Yongzhen bent slightly, sheathed her sword, and assumed an iaido stance.
This is a precursor to Ashina Style: Cross Slash.
During the exchange just now, Yongzhen realized that he had lost.
In actual combat, Lu Ye has skillfully combined various sword techniques.
The Ashina style's resilience, the owl's ferocity, and the Tomoe style's agility.
