Chapter 729: The man who lost the Eye of God decided to resist

Initially, Ying and Paimon went to Konda Village.

I met the warrior who was protecting the village.

The other party was saying goodbye to the villagers and preparing to travel around the world.

According to the villagers, he came to Konda Village thirty years ago and has been protecting Konda Village for thirty years, driving away treasure-stealing groups, repelling nearby monsters, and mediating quarrels in the village... He has devoted a lot of effort to the village and is respected by all the villagers.

At this moment, he suddenly became distraught and prepared to leave.

The reason lies in the "Eye Hunting Order".

He did nothing wrong, but his "Eye of God" was confiscated.

After the God's Eye was taken away, Wu Ren forgot everything about his wish, forgot the reason for guarding, and forgot where he stayed, because it was for the promise he made to a woman who gave him a amulet.

They were separated in a war long ago and agreed to wait in Konda Village and build a stable home.

After thirty years of waiting, he recorded the interesting things that happened every day for the past thirty years so that he could tell her about the past thirty years when they met again.

At this moment, taking away the Eye of God was like taking away his obsession and his memory.

Love, regret, everything related to the woman disappeared...

He forgot who the woman was, her appearance, her voice, and everything that had happened between him and her. He could not remember anything.

It was as if the woman had never appeared by his side...as if these years were just a vague dream.

Every time I go outside and want to travel, I feel empty inside, but I can't find the meaning of staying.

When I saw the diary that Ying and Paimon brought and read all this, I couldn't even feel sad.

I just wonder why he would forget such an important thing?

After Ying's reminder, I realized that it would be really sad if I waited for the girl but couldn't even call out her name.

I have waited for most of my life, so I might as well keep waiting.

……

The second is the former Eyehunter’s execution warrior.

Ying and Paimon came to the village at the foot of Inazuma Castle, where there were sacred trees and water wheels.

The samurai who was in charge of the Tenryo Bugyo was being bullied by the people.

The people called him Tenryo, the person in charge of distributing relief food in the vicinity on behalf of the shogunate army, and demanded that he give them this month's food as their entire families were relying on it to survive.

But the warrior said he didn't know what relief food was.

The people believed that he suddenly decided not to give the food away because he was planning to keep the life-saving food for himself and enrich himself, and he was greedy and had no regard for the feelings of the hungry people at all.

I used to think he was a man with a conscience, but now it seems that he is as bad as the other warriors and deserves to have his "Eye of God" taken away.

Perhaps General Lei Dian doesn't want such people to help him govern the country.

After investigation, Ying and Paimon obtained information from the treasure-stealing group that had just robbed the samurai's residence.

Among the homes of several warriors visited by the treasure-stealing group, except for this one who was extremely poor and had no food to eat, the others were all very rich.

I finally found a unique box in my messy home, but I realized there were no treasures inside. Instead, there were a lot of IOUs written to grocery stores, indicating a large amount of debt.

Miss Aoi from the grocery store told them that the samurai would regularly buy large quantities of food from them, but he used his own salary.

However, food prices have risen recently, and the samurai's own salaries are not enough, so they began to write IOUs to them and exchange them for an equal amount of food on credit.

And this is the so-called "relief food".

People's attitudes often depend on their circumstances. When it comes to survival, most people don't worry that much. They don't investigate, they don't question, they just blame.

They had no idea, nor would they know that the Tenryo Bugyo had not distributed any "relief grain" at all, but that the samurai had bought it with his own money, concealed the source, and gave it to the villagers under the pretext that the grain was relief from the Tenryo Bugyo.

After the price of food rose, in order not to disappoint the people who received "relief food", the warriors did not hesitate to prepare the same amount of food as before, instead of buying less.

As a result, a large amount of debt was incurred.

In fact, if he couldn't pay off his debts, he had no choice but to sell his last possession, the knife he cherished so much.

After paying for the information, Ying and Paimon went back and told the samurai everything and saw the knife.

The knife was handed to him by his father before he passed away. On the knife was his father's life creed.

There are two words "benevolence and righteousness" engraved on the handle of the knife.

According to Ying and Paimon's narration, the warrior who had forgotten many important things and had large blanks in his memory after his "Eye of God" was taken away, and who could not remember anything no matter how hard he tried, discovered that he had really distributed relief food, and guessed what his greatest wish had been.

It is probably "I would rather go into debt than let others be happy!", practicing "benevolence and righteousness".

He now sneered at the result of spending his own money to help others. His colleagues in Tianling Fengxing took away his Divine Eye on the grounds that he was "dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order, had been slacking off, and was sorry to General Lei Dian".

And those who received relief from him every month were unwilling to understand him.

The most ironic thing is that when I draw my knife against them, I feel heartache.

If you can’t be a good person, you can’t even be a bad person!

It was obvious that these people owed him.

……

The third one is the swordsman who once aimed to be the best in the world.

The current head of Inazuma's "Mingjing Zhishuiliu".

He fell into madness after losing the "Eye of God".

Many people came to cause trouble.

After he taught himself sword, he defeated many famous sword masters in succession without losing a single time. He set a goal to become the "best sword master in the world". While he was successful and training apprentices, he was still constantly honing his sword skills.

But now, many of his disciples who were infected by his passion for swordsmanship and tried hard to catch up with him and practice swordsmanship diligently were not allowed to do so.

His disciples would often mutter some names when they saw him going crazy, and when asked who they were, they would show a terrified expression, cover their ears, and look around with red eyes.

The names he called out were all the kendo masters he had defeated before.

He seemed to see those who had lost to him in the past, now surrounding him and cursing at him, which made him feel very painful.

Shouting: "Don't come over here... Don't come near me anymore..."

"I don't want to practice sword anymore, please let me go..."

He used to smile no matter what happened.

His disciples believed that he had encountered an evil spirit, so they invited the shrine maidens from the Narujin Taisha Shrine to prepare an exorcism ceremony, hoping that their master would recover smoothly.

Narukami Taisha is the largest shrine on Narukami Island. Even the ordinary shrine maidens there have absolute authority in exorcising evil spirits.

But the exorcism failed, and the witch could not tell who possessed Mr. Domon.

However, there are all kinds of evil spirits in the world, and many of them she has never seen, so she cannot jump to conclusions. Therefore, the shrine maiden told the kendo master's apprentice that the great shrine maiden, Lady Yae Kamiko, was interested in meeting him.

In their eyes, she was a great witch who was said to have a close relationship with General Lei Dian, was well-versed in history and modern times, and had personally exorcised countless disasters and evil spirits. She was completely uninvitable.

Arrived at Narujin Taisha Shrine on time.

The conclusion is that there is nothing evil about the kendo master.

It was just that he couldn't bear the huge pressure and his heart collapsed. His mind was damaged and he became crazy. Just like a person who fell into the water, he struggled in a panic but still fell into the cold and dark deep sea.

The trigger was that the Eye of God and the wish were taken away.

Ordinary God's Eye holders were deprived of their wishes and God's Eyes and became ordinary people, but this one went crazy because of his swordsmanship.

In the eyes of ordinary people, those who have carried out the "clear mirror and still water" principle to the extreme also have distracting thoughts in their hearts.

It’s a good name, but where in the world can one find true “clear mirror and still water”?

People who claim to be indifferent to fame and fortune will leave angrily after being defeated by their junior brothers. The old swordsman still felt resentful and wanted to compete again with the disciples he taught.

Even a person who seems to have no distractions will be troubled when he defeats his master and senior brothers with his own hands.

The sword is ever-changing.

If one wants to become the best in the world of kendo, one must naturally defeat all those who have the same dream, including one's closest relatives.

Kendo practitioners are obsessed with the desire to "become the best in the world". Only with this one thing in mind can they achieve "a clear mind like a mirror and still water, with no distracting thoughts" and temporarily put aside the pain of holding a sword in both hands and constantly shattering other people's dreams on the road, so as to keep moving forward and pursue the ultimate in kendo.

Only in this way can you pick yourself up again no matter how many setbacks you encounter.

But after losing the Eye of God and his wish, all the pain surged from his heart. He began to doubt himself, struggled in fear, and turned into a madman.

"Losing the Eye of God and losing one's wish is a very terrible thing." Ying said seriously, "Everyone is a pitiful person. So, I have decided..."

"I want to help fight the Eye Hunting Order."

"I hope that their suffering can be relieved and that something more painful than death will never happen again."

"I don't want them to forget the person they are waiting for, to sell their precious sword, to suffer because of the loss of their wish..."

Jiang Yi stretched out his hand: "Me too."

"These past few days, Miss Linghua has shown me a lot. We've seen the victims of war, the military service carried out by the Tenryo, and the people who are struggling hard and hoping to change everything..."

"At this moment, we are on the same front with her."

"follow me……"

He stood up and said, "I'll go find Thomas and ask him to take us to see Linghua."

Ying nodded.

Paimeng followed for a while and then realized, "I feel like you're so skilled at calling Linghua Linghua."

"Also, where's the fan in your hand? You couldn't let it go a few days ago, why is it gone now?"

Ying paused.

"Is there anything else you haven't told me about your experience of fulfilling the fourth wish of 'Princess White Egret'? For example, why are these guards looking at you?" She looked at Jiang Yi suspiciously.

I've been talking until I'm dry-mouthed, about every detail, and this guy, how could he summarize his experiences of the past few days in one sentence?

"Haha! These are all details that don't need to be paid attention to." Jiang Yi turned his head away guiltily, "Like the second story you told, the Inazuma residents were short of relief food, so I helped make some food. The work that the Tenryo Bugyo didn't do, the Shrine Bugyo and Narujin Taisha were the ones who really did it."

"As for my fan..." he said in a low voice, "Of course, it was exchanged as a token of the covenant."

"What?" The voice was too soft and Ying couldn't hear clearly.

Paimon's eyes sharpened. There must be something going on.

"Okay, okay... Look! Thomas is there!" Jiang Yi said vaguely.

After he and Kamisato Ayaka calmed down, they realized that there was something wrong with the meaning of the fan.

The fan represents "goodness" and is usually used to express love between men and women.

So, this covenant thing seems weird in retrospect.

Saying it out loud makes people think too much.
