Chapter 756: The Second War, Brewing Emotions

The black karma stained the white feathers. Jiang Yi stretched out his hand and flicked it, and the karma was retracted into his body.

"If there is no thunder and heavy rain, the sun will rise soon!" He looked towards the east and waved his sleeves.

A golden-armored warrior and a dozen stone figurines appeared in front of him along with the light of the talisman.

"Guard the village well, I'm leaving for a while." Jiang Yi looked at the monsters around the village that dared not come in because of the demon-subduing seals on the stones. He put down his plan to protect Ying, and his body turned into a beam of light and flew away.

At Nashiki Beach, the shogunate army and the rebels fought.

After that day, Jiang Yi consciously stayed on the battlefield.

This war should have been fought the day after the shogunate army drove the rebels out of Tatsura Sand, but because of his rescue, both sides investigated this strange situation and postponed the war for a while.

At this moment, the Shogunate army took action again, launching a surprise attack in the morning when the night was darkest, making people the most sleepy and relaxed. They first cleared the mines, checked the elemental traps with elemental vision, attacked the fortifications, and then the large force suddenly pressed forward.

Countless arrows rained down, gleaming in the sky with the light of fire, thunder, and ice.

Jiang Yi was suspended in the sky, overlooking the surroundings.

The dream turns the world upside down, covering the battlefields of both sides.

This was all he could do, to protect the lives that were about to die on the main battlefield and the front battlefield. As for the side battlefields and small-scale conflicts in other places, he was too busy to cope with them.

But don’t think that you are so lucky and will not get hurt or die. Look at the dream, I am the one who is doing the hard work.

I watched the fight below with great exhaustion.

After a long time, the war ended.

The rebels in Coral Palace were cleared of their positions and retreated to the middle section of Nashiki Beach.

The shogunate army won another great victory.

Kujo Sara and Goro count the casualties.

"He's appeared again? The man wanted by the shogunate army saved many of our companions who should have died." Goro looked at the report with gratitude in his heart, but was a little confused as to why the other party didn't come to them directly and join the resistance, but helped them secretly.

On the shogunate's side, the generals did not realize that someone was helping them and just felt strange. However, the strange emotions were thrown behind them by the victory. It was a great achievement that no one died, and it happened twice.

On the front battlefield, not a single soldier was injured and the rebels were defeated step by step.

Lord Kujo Sara is wise and brave, his soldiers are extremely brave, and the Heavenly Lord is blessed by the gods. Long live His Highness the Ogosho.

"Again, there are only seriously injured people, no casualties." Kujo Sara looked at the casualty report, frowned and paced back and forth, "What on earth is..."

The shogunate army, knowing the truth, stared at Nashiki Beach in a daze, their will to fight almost fading away.

Nashinada, a beach gently caressed by the hands of gods.

Some dropped their weapons, looked at their cheering colleagues, bowed their heads and shed tears: "This is an unjust war! I am ashamed of the principles in my heart."

Suddenly I knelt down, facing two life and death situations, and the regret in my heart almost gnawing at me.

Tear up the wanted poster and mix it into the mud.

The people around looked at their colleague in surprise as he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, mumbling something.

"Although we can gain a lot of merit after a great victory, there is no need to be so excited!" Some people laughed, while others remained silent.

There were deserters looking at the battlefield, pirates touching their swords, and refugees avoiding the bandits, wandering and fleeing towards Takanashi Sand, Ming Shen Island, Yami Island, Himiki Village...

Jiang Yi returned to Feimu Village, cleared out the monsters along the way, and picked some necessary medicines.

The sick people are not only in the Himuki Village, but also in other places on the island.

After the news gets out, they will probably gather together and return, so we must prepare early.

After Jiang Yi walked back to Feimu Village, many eyes turned to him.

In front of the Choji family, one person after another slowly knelt down.

When they woke up, they heard about Jiang Yi's sleepless treatment yesterday. Now, seeing him coming back from collecting herbs early in the morning, they felt grateful, respectful, and awe for the compassionate consciousness and great power they felt during the treatment.

There was an indescribable emotion brewing in their hearts.

He didn't say anything, just knelt down and kowtowed.

Ying and Paimeng were very pleased to see this scene that Jiang Yi deserved.

"Get up! If you have the strength and nothing to do, go and weed the village." Jiang Yi put down the herbs. "The 'Evil God' is still here and may come again. Remember to come and collect one bowl of this medicine every day."

"The cost of treatment..." He looked at the people in front of him. Most of them were miners from the Snake Bone Mine. There were only a few villagers, and that was the only thing they had.

"For those with mild illness, one 'Crystallized Bone Marrow' will be given. Increase the number of 'Crystallized Bone Marrow' according to the symptoms. The most serious patient will be cured with ten 'Crystallized Bone Marrow'."

He slightly divided the costs into several tiers.

The miners and villagers bent down deeply. For them, this fee was too cheap, almost free.

The cost of curing the "evil spirit" disease and bringing a dying person back to life should be priceless. If there is a price, it should be extremely expensive.

Moreover, this doctor probably did not need the crystallized bone marrow. He just wanted to give them a reason to feel at ease and exchange food, just like yesterday.

"If the evil spirit disease can be cured, I don't want to leave." A villager walked towards his home and suddenly said to his relatives.

"But we have already made an appointment with the Shogunate Army, they will come to take us away..." Someone hesitated, because the previous villagers were taken away by the Shogunate Army.

"Are you surprised that the people who left didn't send any letters back? They clearly said they were going to report that they were safe." Someone said that as people from the same village, they naturally hoped to take care of each other outside to avoid being bullied, so they agreed to send letters.

"What's so strange about this? There's a war going on outside! News can't be transmitted so quickly. It's very likely that no one delivered the letter." Someone shook his head.

"Can the shogunate army really be trusted? The reputation of Tenryo Bugyo has always been bad." Someone expressed this doubt. Before, the shogunate army was their only hope, and they kept their doubts to themselves. But now it is not the case. Dissatisfaction and suspicion towards the shogunate have resurfaced in their hearts.

Those bandit-like shogunate troops may not be as friendly as pirates.

Besides, do they really want to leave their homeland?

The atmosphere fell silent.

"Then let's wait and see before making a decision." Someone sighed.

"But there is not enough food..." Someone lowered his head.

Everyone who survived needed to eat. The roads outside were difficult to travel on, and there was no money or property to exchange for food with the pirates.

Crystallized bone marrow has the power of evil spirits, and now many pirates dare not collect it.

Moreover, this item is a trading item monopolized by the shogunate. Without the other party's tacit consent, buying and selling it will cause trouble.

A man with short black hair and orange clothes, carrying a medicine basket on his back and walking with legs soaked by mud, looked breathlessly at the Hiki Village in the rain.

Today, the Himuk Village seemed quieter than before. The crazy mumbling and hallucinatory roars could no longer be heard.

“Could it be… Could it be…” His eyes went dark and his heart felt heavy.

According to the time calculation, those seriously ill people who remain here are about to die. Is this another group of people missing?

Suddenly, two figures appeared in his eyes.

Paimeng put his hands on his hips and said, "Those guys with knives are still occupying the house at the entrance of the village. Forget it, with Jiang Yi here, they can't cause any trouble."

Ying nodded and checked around the village.

"Well, come to think of it, Changci is also a pitiful child." Paimon chatted, "Just like he said, he is not precocious, but he has lost the person he can rely on the most, and he doesn't want to rely on others, so he can only let himself mature."

“I can’t trust Fengxing, I can’t trust the people in the city, and I don’t want to be taken care of by others. I live a very lonely and tiring life.”

Ying felt the same way: "He is also looking for his family. But if you meet a reliable companion on your journey, you have to cherish him."

"Yes! We are ready to embark on the journey, but we can actually ask Jiang Yi to help us with divination and find someone. When Jiang Yi is free, we can ask Jiang Yi to help with divination and give him a surprise." Paimeng sighed.

They have gone to help check the shrine that Choji mentioned last night, but the village chief Washizu is not near the shrine... Unfortunately, there is no clue about his mother inside.

After listening to it, although the other party didn't show it, I could still feel the disappointment.

However, there were indeed many petals of hydrangeas scattered around the shrine that did not look like they were created naturally, as if someone had scattered them there intentionally.

It can be basically confirmed that it is an offering from Choji's mother.

The wind blows, and the sacred cherry blossoms float.

There was no trace of any strange elements in front of the petals, and the seemingly ordinary shrine stood plainly yet elegantly.

The wooden niche flickers with light, welcoming visitors in a dignified and silent manner, as if it has spirituality despite its ordinary appearance.

But he never responded to anyone.

Over there, the man looked at Ying and Paimon carefully with a worried look in his heart. They were not those hateful Shogunate troops, nor did they look like those guys from the Coral Palace.

"You are... foreigners? Why are you here?" He asked, and then urged, "Ah... In any case, you'd better leave here quickly. Bayun Island is very dangerous now."

Ying and Paimon looked up and saw a strange person persuading them to leave in a quick tone.

"This island is no longer suitable for living, let alone sightseeing." The man pointed to the sky. "If you are a foreigner fleeing from the pursuit of the magistrate, go west."

"As of today, there is no sign of the 'Evil God' disappearing, and the Tianling Bugyo has started fighting the rebels again."

"The Tenryo Magistrate does not welcome fugitives of unknown origin, but the pirates over there may take you in."

Ying and Paimon were curious after hearing this: "Why don't you mention the Coral Palace? Are pirates more reliable than the Coral Palace?"

"Hmph!" The man snorted, "Can't you see the weather? And the weird pollution and black air. The resistance, those city people and the guys from the Coral Palace have brought us nothing good!"

Speaking of this, he was extremely angry: "First, there was the explosion of the Tadashi sand. The night sky that day was dyed with strange colors... Many relatives and friends lost their jobs and had no food or clothing. Many people returned home with serious injuries and looked miserable. There were also many friends... who were unable to escape."

The voice gradually deepened: "Then, the guys from the Coral Palace destroyed the talisman that suppressed the remains of the great snake, and the 'evil spirit' rose up, and everyone on the island died and fled. The strange disease brought by the 'evil spirit' also continued to spread, and most of the residents here are seriously ill."

He said sarcastically: "I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before it spreads to the two military camps."

The man was full of grievances and he confided them to Ying and Paimeng.

"Originally, this was the primary source of crystals that Inazuma needed to refine 'Dama Steel'. As long as the ore was not exhausted, we didn't have to be restricted too much by the adults in the city and could live well. What about now? There are probably few living people on the island now... I mean, people like me who can still speak properly."

"You just came out of Himiki Village, right? You know what I'm talking about."

"So, go, go!"

Ying and Paimon looked at each other: "You are talking about those who went crazy because of the aura of the 'evil god'. They have been cured!"

“…” The man showed no joy, but looked at the two of them sadly.

"I didn't expect that a new mutation would appear here a few days after I left. Normal people started to have hallucinations after going to Hime Village. Has the village completely become a ghost village that confuses and devours people? Using ghosts to attract sacrifices... It's getting more and more terrifying."

He collapsed to the ground, full of despair.

Ying and Paimeng looked at each other, what was this guy talking about?
