Chapter 329 The Origin of Immortality
The story told by Sekiro World is actually very simple. At a certain period, Sakura Dragon from the west came to this land, but was unable to leave because of his injuries, so he stayed.
After the Yukamei tribe, the aboriginal people at that time, discovered the dragon, they built the Palace of the Source on the high mountains. However, due to long-term drinking of the source water contaminated by the divine power of Sakura Dragon, they all turned into immortal monsters.
It's a pity that this kind of immortality is simply not dying of old age, and will still die in various accidents.
After their bodies were eaten by carp in the water, the undead insects inside flowed down the river, first to Xianfeng Temple.
The abbot of the temple at that time was named Daoxuan. One day, he discovered that some monks had turned into giant centipedes and could not be killed no matter what. Instead of feeling scared, he was very excited and began to study this power with great fanaticism.
Coupled with the relationship between Dogen and Ashina Isshin, the monks of Senbo Temple captured the elderly, young people, and children in the name of criminals, and conducted human experiments in the dungeon.
As for the most downstream, there is the aquatic village at the bottom of Ashina. Perhaps because the content of undead insects is too small and the source water is very turbid, they turned into deformed monsters after drinking it.
The above are the source of the immortal power of the entire Sekiro world.
Amber knew very well that if she wanted to kill the Immortal, she had to get rid of the Sakura Dragon, but to do this, she had to rely on the Immortal Slash.
There are two swords in the whole Weiming Kingdom, one is called worshiping tears, and the other is called opening the door.
The former was hidden in Xianfeng Temple by Daoxuan and was also Sekiro's next target.
The other one has two possibilities, one is with Isshin Ashina, and the other has fallen into the hands of Genichiro.
Anyway, in the original plot, Genichiro sacrificed his immortal body by opening the door and pulled Ashina Isshin out of the underworld.
The Immortal Slash is an ominous blade. Anyone who does not have an immortal body will die if he draws the sword. Amber does not want to get involved with this thing.
As for the power of Long Yin, it sounds like it is very strong and can absorb the vitality of the person concerned and resurrect it, but in fact it is just a way of drinking poison to quench thirst.
Even in the end, the person signed with the power of Long Yin will slowly turn into a pale, half-human, half-dragon monster.
Just like the ones around Sakuraryu.
Only naturally awakened ones like Jiuro and the first generation Long Yin's son Zhan are perfect immortals.
He won't turn into a monster, has no side effects, and can also share Long Yin's power with others.
After clarifying these things about the book collection of Anbo Guanlou, the places where there were doubts before became suddenly clear.
Three years ago, Kuro awakened the power of Longyin, which gave Genichiro, who was seeing the imminent destruction of his country due to his aging mind, finding hope.
He needs this power.
So they conspired with the ninja leader Xiao and the illusion master Madam Butterfly to join forces with the bandit Anaconda Juzo to attack the Hirata family where Kuro was located.
But because Xiao also wanted to obtain this power, he deliberately pretended to fail and asked his adoptive son Lang to save Jiulang. Finally, after he defeated and killed Madam Butterfly, he stole the knife from behind.
It's a pity that he didn't catch Kuro, but instead made Sekiro the contractor of Ryuyin's power.
It can be said that it was all in vain, and perhaps this was also a reason for his subsequent rebellion.
It's not important anyway.
Nowadays, except for the land of Ashina Kingdom, it is estimated that the inner government has already controlled all other places. It is precisely because of this that Isshin is willing to give up using the power of immortality and sit back and watch the country perish.
When he launched the war to steal the country, he only saw that the people were suffering under the rule of the inner government, so he chose to wield the sword.
But looking at it now, this may have been the wrong decision.
The people did not live a good life, but because of the ambition of the superiors, they either died or turned into various monsters, enduring inhuman pain day and night.
"Ann, do you want to drink?"
The door to the quiet library was pushed open, and Yongzhen walked in with a tray on which were placed several rice balls wrapped with fish, as well as a smell of fragrant wine.
"Thanks."
Amber was not hungry, but her mouth was a little greedy.
Since he traveled through time three years ago, he has really never had a good meal. Every day except dried fish or salted fish, and occasionally some rice, it is a rare good day.
This is true even for his status as a warrior, let alone the ordinary people at the lowest level.
Take a look at the aquatic village at the bottom of Ashina...
well.
Sighing, Amber closed the book, took the tray from Yongzhen, then picked up a rice ball and threw it into her mouth.
The aroma of fish oil mixes with the taste of rice, forming a very unique umami taste. At this time, taking a sip of Ashina sake that is only available in Ashina will sublimate the taste again.
"Isshin-sama's sword is called the Diamond Iron Wandering Dragon Sword. It is named after the dragon pattern on it."
Yongzhen looked at the knife on the ground with a smile, "I hope you can treat it well."
"Wandering Dragon Sword? A good name."
Amber nodded slightly.
"It's the Diamond Iron Wandering Dragon Sword!"
Yongzhen corrected him extremely seriously.
"Whatever, have you brought Xiao Xiao's location?"
Amber didn't want to have to deal with this issue with her.
"Um."
Yongzhen took out a letter from his sleeve, "This is the current location of all the lonely shadows in Ashina, and Xiao Xiao is in one of them."
"Ha, Isshin-sama is really good at summoning people, but it doesn't matter, this is what I should do."
Amber took the paper indifferently, glanced over it, and already had the general information in her mind.
These three years have not been in vain for him. In addition, Ashina is a palm-sized place, and he has been able to go there countless times.
At present, it seems that there are only three places that I haven't been to: Minamoto no Miya, Senhoji Temple, and Ashina no bottom.
"Please be careful."
Yongzhen warned: "Although you are very strong, please don't underestimate those rats. They are very good at using poison. This is the detoxification powder I prepared, which may be able to help you."
"Although it's not necessary, thank you anyway."
Amber put the handed things into the lining, and then began to enjoy the food seriously.
Yongzhen didn't leave either, just stood aside quietly.
I don’t know whether he is looking at the knife or the person.
After a while, Amber finished the rice ball and drank the wine, "Tell Master Yixin, not only Gu Yingzhong, but everyone except Ashina, are my next targets. Once these are done, it's time to counterattack." !”
"Counterattack?"
Yongzhen didn't say much after hearing the previous words, until he said the last sentence, he opened his mouth in shock, "Our troops are not enough to support this goal."
"You don't need them, I'm enough."
Amber said and stopped staying, heading towards the warrior waiting room below.
There are steps directly leading to the main city, making it very convenient to go home.
That's right, he didn't plan to take action immediately.
As for the reason...
The rice balls just made were delicious, so Amber secretly kept two of them for Kakiya to try.
That poor woman…
Tsk.
