Although it was somewhat expected, after Otohime admitted it, Viola Viola, who grew up listening to Urashima Taro's stories, showed a subtle unacceptable expression.
"That's not right. It was a few years ago when we took the treasure ship to perform the Seven Lucky Gods Tour (Seven Lucky Gods Tour り). At that time, didn't you still stay in Ryugu City? Even if you would like humans, you wouldn't like such an old man, right? "
The same unacceptable parrot asked lively.
"Taro...before we got married, he was just an ordinary young man. It's just that humans can't fall in love with gods. After he accepted my love, he was punished by heaven and became what he is now..."
Otohime looked a little sad, stood there numbly, and her voice was a little bleak.
"But in Fusang mythology, there are many stories about gods marrying human girls, right? I thought it was in Chinese mythology that humans and gods couldn't love each other... just like Cowherd and Weaver Girl." Pantheon immediately raised her own doubts.
"Is there? But I don't remember that happened?" Otohime asked suspiciously.
The parrot flew to Viola's shoulder, poked the girl's cheek, and whispered in a low voice: "Those stories have hardly happened in this era, and even if it is a story of love between humans and gods in the future, it is not the gods who take advantage of some loopholes." It is just a simple mistake to sublimate the human being on the other side into a god (for example, Susanoo raised everyone including Ki Inada Hime, Ashina Shioming, and Teina Shioming to gods) so as not to avoid the punishment of heaven. Biography—after all, Fusang's conditions for becoming a god are relatively loose."
But Susanoo is one of the three noble sons anyway, and the Dragon God of Amber River would not have this ability, so he can only watch his lover turn into a gray-haired old man and there is nothing he can do.
After listening to the parrot's explanation, Viola showed an apologetic expression to Otohime.
"If you really love that person, it might be the right choice to leave him now." The parrot suggested: "Although there is no way to completely eliminate the punishment of heaven, the degree will definitely be reduced."
"It's too late..."
Otohime lightly stroked her flat belly, her face showed a loving look full of mother's radiance: "We already have flesh and blood, even if we leave him now, there is no way to weaken the punishment of heaven...so even if we take Dragon Palace City Leave it alone, and I will spend the last time with him."
For a while, both the parrot and the quince were silent. The matter has come to this point, there is really nothing left to say... Could it be possible to persuade Otohime to get rid of this child
"Actually, it's not completely impossible." Xu Shenxing, who was leaning against the wooden wall and pretending to be aggressive, touched his chin and said suddenly: "No, it's better to say that there are many ways."
"Really?" Otohime's eyes widened, obviously surprised.
"Although it is said to be God's punishment, it is actually just a curse... I have encountered a curse with a greater intensity than this more than once."
Even if it's useless to him.
After swallowing the words that ruined the atmosphere, Xu Shenxing continued: "As long as there is a way to undo the curse, your husband will be able to return to his original appearance."
"Then can you lift this curse?" Otohime asked hastily.
"No." Xu Shenxing replied very simply.
Then you say shit!
Although no one said that, Xu Shenxing always felt that this meaning was revealed in other people's eyes.
"Then is there any other solution?"
Probably because she was afraid that Xu Shenxing would become angry from embarrassment, Otoji hurriedly continued to ask.
"The effect of this curse seems to be to continuously devour vitality. In other words, as long as your husband can obtain vitality far beyond the level of ordinary people, you can naturally ignore this curse."
Xu Shenxing coughed dryly and continued to explain.
To be reasonable, even if he doesn't have that kind of foul spell resistance, with his vitality, he can at least carry a hundred or eighty curses of this type, and then continue to be alive and kicking like nothing...
"Even if you say that..." Otohime looked helpless.
Her current mood is as if an elementary school student who failed to complete his homework on time because of playing Watch Ass asked online: How can I not have to hand in my homework
As a result, someone else answered: just blow up the school.
Although it is true that there is no need to hand in homework by doing this, there are still many problems before that... In short, the elementary school students probably can't make any expressions except a look of bewilderment.
"No, although the previous method to remove the curse is really impossible, but if it is only to replenish vitality, there is actually a way." The parrot said suddenly.
So everyone's eyes were focused on it.
"The elixir." So the parrot slowly said what he thought of.
""Bamboo Tori Monogatari"?" Viola Wuye thought of a story widely circulated by Fusang: "But didn't that story happen in the Nara period?"
Although Taketori Monogatari is basically a fictional work, the prototypes of the characters in it are basically from the Nara era, which is at least a few hundred years later than the current age of mythology.
"Xu Fu?" Xu Shenxing, who was a man of the Celestial Dynasty, thought of another story: Xu Fu who traveled east to the sea to obtain the elixir for the first emperor.
"That's right, that gentleman has been to China's fairy island 'Penglai', and he really obtained the elixir... and he is now in Fusang!"
As a person from the future... Well, the parrot of the future bird obviously knows more information than the natives like Otohime: "If you can ask him for the elixir, it would be great to treat this kind of punishment."
"Beforehand, we will not ask you for the elixir."
Xu Shenxing narrowed his eyes, and looked at Otohime who was shining brightly in his eyes: "I only came to you to find the way back to Olavia, and I don't have time to dawdle to help you find the elixir."
After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on the parrot: "You also understand? If you insist on making this kind of situation like a role-playing game running around and delaying time, I'm afraid I will take a slightly more aggressive approach. Find your own way back."
Although he didn't know what the so-called "slightly more radical method" was, after realizing that Xu Shenxing was not joking, the parrot couldn't help shivering and nodded hastily.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness Otohime, as you can see, we are rushing to Gaotianyuan now, and we can't help you find the elixir." The parrot spread its wings towards Otohime.
"It doesn't matter, I will go to find the help of the Huaxia master by myself, which also shows my sincerity. If Taro says, it should be fine to leave it to the villagers to take care of it." Otoji glanced at Xu Shenxing who was indifferent, and then He nodded towards the parrot to express his understanding: "As for the island where the rainbow begins, I will let the envoys of the Dragon Palace take you there... But I am afraid that there is a more troublesome situation on the island than obtaining the elixir."
Xu Shenxing and the others didn't answer, they just waited for Yiji's next words.
Otohime didn't continue to keep her secret, and explained the situation: "A group of ghosts moved to that island, and the leader is Shutendouji... You also know how strong those guys are? Even if it is Takeyu Leishen or Susanoo I'm afraid I can't defeat those ghosts who live in groups on the island."
"Oh, then it's all right, let the tortoise lead us the way." The parrot old god answered flatly.
"Wait... don't you understand what I mean! Ghost clan, and it's a large group!"
No, no, you're the only one who doesn't understand the situation.
Viola next to her muttered in her heart.
No matter how strong those ghost clans are, just use "the other party doesn't want to talk to you, and threw a Xu Shenxing at you" to destroy the group properly... It's much easier than running the map to find the elixir.
