Jushi's body tensed slightly.
Ten years is a long time, but a very short time. After all, she has not been able to create a poison that can kill Wu Mei for hundreds of years, but if she has that prescription, there will be hope.
Do you want to believe in yourself for once
I believe that I can completely solve Wu Ke within ten years...
Zhu Shi struggled in her heart and stood there like this. It took nearly ten minutes before she finally made a decision and looked at Feng Ye again. There was no confusion in her eyes, only clarity.
"Can!"
She believes in herself!
If she could get that prescription, she would definitely be able to do it within ten years!
"So... the deal is done."
Feng Ye smiled slightly, raised his left hand, his fingertips were filled with golden light, and gently stretched out his hand.
The endless gorgeous beauty bloomed between Feng Ye's fingers. Zhu Shi's eyes were instantly attracted, and he was even a little stunned. There were no words to describe the blooming glorious beauty.
That is the light of time.
There is nothing more beautiful in this world than the passing of time.
Feng Ye's fingers so easily passed through the pieces of time, spanning hundreds of years, in the ancient past, gently clamped a page of withered papyrus, and then brought this page of papyrus from the past to the present.
The brilliant light gradually disappeared.
Fengye held the prescription from the past between his index and middle fingers and flicked it toward Zhu Shi. The fragile-looking piece of papyrus spun and floated in front of Zhu Shi.
Zhu Shi woke up from her previous brief sluggishness. When she saw this scene, she quickly reached out her hand and carefully caught the page of withered papyrus.
Just a cursory glance made her heart waver.
She is proficient in medicine and has studied this field for hundreds of years. Of course, she can tell at a glance that the rough prescription recorded on the paper is not some random fabrication.
It was as if he had been cutting at the thorns with a knife in a daze, but suddenly he saw the path he had been tracing and searching for for hundreds of years.
Since this page of papyrus was too fragile, it seemed as if a little force would break it. Zhu Shi looked at the various medicinal materials with all his strength and memorized them all in his mind in a short period of time.
When he was sure that he had memorized everything and there were no mistakes or omissions, Zhu Shi took a deep breath and looked up in Feng Ye's direction.
Feng Ye has disappeared.
There was only Yushiro who was still imprisoned in mid-air, unable to move as he kept pumping his fist, and there was nothing else there.
Zhu Shi was slightly startled and looked around, looking for traces of Feng Ye, but he did not see Feng Ye again.
"Ten years..."
She murmured.
Some complex thoughts flashed through her mind, but she finally threw them behind her.
She has no time to think about what will happen in ten years. She must seize every minute and every second now to study the precious prescription and find a way to kill Wu Mei.
Think of this.
Zhu Shi stretched out his hand and pushed Yushiro, who was still imprisoned in the air.
"Yoshiro."
Uh-huh!
When Tamashi's fingers touched Yushiro, his body frozen in the air seemed to return to normal for an instant, and he swung his fist forward, but because it missed the target, he spun around in a circle.
"Hey, where is the person?!"
Yushiro was stunned for a moment after punching nothing. He seemed to have no idea what happened just now, and his memory stopped at the moment when he punched Fengye.
When he realized that his punch was empty and Feng Ye disappeared out of thin air, Yushiro looked shocked, immediately blocked in front of Zhu Shi, and said in shock:
"Master Jushi, be careful, that guy is dangerous!"
“…”
Zhu Shi was briefly surprised, but soon understood the current situation.
I'm afraid that during the time when Yushiro was imprisoned, he didn't even know what was happening in the outside world. This ability was like stopping time, and it was performed in an understatement.
But think about it, Wu Kai just took an incomplete medicine and already had such powerful power and became the king of ghosts. Feng Ye is probably a more complete existence, more powerful and terrifying than Wu Kai. There is no doubt about it.
"Okay, don't worry, let's go back."
Zhu Shi narrowed his eyes, spoke calmly, then turned around and took a step forward.
She also had no intention of telling Yushiro what happened just now, otherwise Yushiro's character would definitely be unacceptable and cause a scene.
“…”
Yushiro was slightly startled, and he was keenly aware of the strange attitude of Zhu Shi, as if something had changed that he didn't know about.
But seeing that Zhu Shi didn't want to say anything, he just endured it and didn't ask.
Chapter 4 The test between Zhenji and Fengye
Tamashi left with Yushiro.
Feng Ye actually didn't leave. He was still standing where he was before, but he just disappeared into the gap of time, making neither Tamayo nor Yushirou aware of it.
He quietly looked in the direction Zhu Shi left, his eyes flashing with a little light golden luster, and what he saw was a future with branches and leaves spreading like branches.
"Although the future direction has been changed, is it still in its original position?"
Feng Ye smiled softly.
The prescription he gave Zhu Shi was indeed true, but it was a prescription hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years have passed, and some of the medicinal materials have actually become extinct.
Therefore, Zhu Shi cannot simply find all the medicinal materials to create that medicine. She needs to use her wisdom to create a substitute for the extinct medicinal materials.
This cannot be accomplished in a short while.
Fengye gave her ten years. In fact, he didn't mention it casually, but after taking a cursory look at the future, he judged that it would take Zhushi about ten years to recreate the medicine.
At the current time point, it is exactly ten years since Midouzi was turned into a ghost and Tanjiro became an apprentice.
"Find something fun to do."
Feng Ye looked down at the series of ever-changing futures and turned around with a smile.
…
Broken town.
This is a large village and town, but the houses look a bit dilapidated and old, and the clothes of the people walking on the streets are more or less patched.
This is a poor village and town, and there are many such villages and towns in this era.
In this corner of the town.
Some dirty children, about ten years old, gathered in the corner. In front of them were several begging bowls with broken corners, but the bowls were all empty and there was no food.
This was a desolate era, or in poor remote areas, such situations abounded. Some orphans lost their parents, and some were simply kicked out because their families could not afford to support them.
Being kicked out is actually slightly better.
Even worse, they are sold directly to human traffickers by their parents in exchange for money.
These orphans with no ability to survive can only huddle in a dark corner, looking at the passing people with prayerful eyes, hoping to get some food.
And just then.
Wow!
Several pieces of clean white cake fell into the begging bowls with broken corners.
The gray eyes of all the children lit up almost instantly. They rushed over and tried their best to grab the pieces of white cake.
The big ones quickly occupied their share, while the thin ones were squeezed aside and only got a little corner.
But there are exceptions.
It was a little girl with dirty hair and her arms were obviously thinner than the others, but she was much more flexible than the others. She grabbed a big piece, held it tightly and huddled in the corner to eat.
In this impoverished town, few people can provide food to distribute to these orphans. Sometimes there is only a little food for several days, so many people starve to death, and those who survive know how to fight for it.
However, what happened this time was a bit beyond their expectations.
Because more than a few pieces of white cake fell into the bowl, when all the white cakes were snatched, a few more pieces were immediately thrown in and then snatched away by other children.
It wasn't until everyone got two large enough pieces of white cake that the person who gave them the food stopped throwing.
With enough food to eat, the children finally settled down and were no longer as chaotic as when they were fighting for each other. While each was eating white cakes, they also quietly observed the person who gave them food.
What made them a little confused was that Feng Ye had no pockets on his body. He was just wearing a relatively simple and loose kimono and wooden clogs. They couldn't tell where the white cakes were hidden before, as if they were conjured out of thin air. .
But doubts were doubts, and no one asked anything, because those things were not important. The food in their hands was the most important, allowing them to continue to live.
"Thank you, thank you..."
The girl who was the first to grab the food looked very delicate but very flexible. After trying hard to eat some food, she whispered to Feng Ye.
Feng Ye did not respond, but stood there quietly, waiting for everyone to finish eating, and then said calmly: "I have a test here, and those who can pass the test, I will accept them as disciples, and they will do it every day." If you can have something to eat and want to try it, come with me.”
Finish this sentence.
Feng Ye turned around and left.
The children in the corner looked at each other for a while. Although some of them didn't understand what it meant to be a disciple, they all understood the saying that they could have something to eat every day.
After a brief hesitation, someone quickly stood up and followed Feng Ye, followed by the second person, the third person...
that's all.
Feng Ye led a dozen little beggars out of the town and came to the foot of the mountain next to the town.
"The content of the test is very simple. Whoever can climb to the top of the mountain will pass."
"I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain."
After leaving such words, Feng Ye walked into the mountains and disappeared among the woods.
The children who followed looked at the forest in front of them. After a brief pause, some people showed longing eyes and quickly walked into the forest, and others followed one after another.
"It won't be that easy..."
Seeing other companions going up the mountain one after another, Zhenji, who was the first to follow Fengye, did not walk into the forest for a long time, but murmured.
Since it is a test, it cannot be passed so easily. I am afraid there will be other dangers in the mountains. It is definitely not an easy task to climb to the top of the mountain.
but…
Masaki clenched his little fist.
No matter what, this is an opportunity to live, an opportunity to change the situation. Even if she knows that it is difficult and dangerous, she cannot refuse, because if she gives up, she may not be able to survive, and the next step may be very difficult. I can't even beg for any food for half a month, and no one knows when I might starve to death.
Since it is a test, it will not be easy, but similarly, since it is a test, it is possible to pass... She believed what Feng Ye said, and her instinct told her that Feng Ye would not deceive her.
After everyone went up the mountain, Zhen Shi finally walked into the forest.
As soon as she entered the forest, she heard a scream, as if she had seen something very scary, with fear and trembling in her voice.
"Alas!!!"
Then there was another scream, this time a cry of pain, and caused a lot of movement. It seemed like something heavy fell to the ground, and an injured person obviously appeared.
Zhenji was stunned for a short time, but this was not beyond her expectation, so she took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and continued walking up the mountain.
Walking through a forest.
boom!
She felt like she'd tripped over something.
Then there was a heavy sound of wind coming from above.
Zhenshen didn't hesitate at all. He rolled on the spot almost based on instinct, and rolled half a meter to the side. Then he heard the dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
She looked sideways, her face suddenly turned a little pale.
It was a thick tree stump, and it hit her where she was before. If she hadn't dodged it, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her.
"So... dangerous..."
She turned pale, glanced towards the top of the mountain, and bit her lip.
