The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

In the evening, Meihong finally came back, and brought back a big, bad news!

"I found out that five people went to see Kaguya today, and after the five of them returned, they all started collecting various medicinal materials."

Just like the story in Takeya's memory, the five people are Fujiwara Fuhito, Ishigami Maro, Abe Miyamoto, Hidan Masato, and Otomo Miyako.

That is to say, they are the five suitors described in "The Tale of Taketori": Prince Chamochi, Ishigami Marozu, Abe Miyamoto, Prince Ishisaku, and Oto Dainagon.

The power of fate is indeed so powerful. Despite the intervention of two unexpected factors, Takeya and Meihong, the general trend is still running along its original trajectory.

Meihong was very efficient. In just half a day, she got the list of medicinal materials that Kaguya gave to the five people who came to visit, and she also compared them.

"Kaguya is serious this time," Meihong said with a heavy face: "I have read the list. Among the medicinal materials she asked five people to collect, the repeated ones are expensive but not rare. The rest are rare medicinal materials. There’s nothing the same!”

"Meihong, are you saying that Kaguya is borrowing the power of the five of them to collect medicinal materials?"

Zaiwu also said this conclusion, and both of them were stunned.

"What is Kaguya doing collecting medicinal materials?"

"Could it be the medicine of Penglai?"

Meihong's guess made Takeru slightly startled, and then he shook his head and said: "That's probably not the case. I heard Kaguya say that she was exiled just because she made the Penglai medicine in the Moon Capital. There is no reason to idle around on the ground. Why don’t you make another one when you have nothing to do?”

".Right."

Meihong agreed with Wu Ye's statement, and the two fell into endless doubts again. However, no one expected that they were only one step away from the truth.

It was late at night, and the lights in the yard had long been extinguished. However, Kaguya was still dressed in formal clothes, sitting quietly by the window, looking up at the beautiful but distant full moon.

Suddenly, the moon in the sky rippled without any warning, and began to become unreal like its reflection in the water. Seeing this, Kaguya smiled happily.

"Eirin."

She happily called out this name, and not long after, the messenger of the moon with white hair and gray eyes, Yashi Eirin, arrived. She came riding the breeze from the night sky and landed gently in the yard. When she saw Kaguya The smiling face also smiled.

"Your Highness, I'm late."

Kaguya shook her head and stepped forward to hold Yashi Eirin's hand. They were silent for a long time, both of them immersed in the joy of reunion.

The two people who were close to each other reluctantly let go of each other until the calm night wind rose again. After suppressing the excitement in their hearts, Kaguya raised her head and asked: "Yonglin, have you brought that thing?" ?”

"Yes." Eirin nodded, then magically took out a package from behind and handed it to Kaguya's hand and said: "The half of the Penglai medicine that we failed to create is here."

As he said that, Eirin looked at Kaguya with some worry and said, "But, Your Highness, what do you want with this? The half-finished Pill of Horai has no effect at all."

"Hehe." Kaguya pretended to be mysterious and pulled Yonglin into the house, then took out five pieces of silk and handed them to her.

"This is..." Yonglin narrowed his eyes and scanned it, then said in a daze: "Aren't these the materials for making Penglai Medicine? Your Highness, do you want it?"

Kaguya stood on tiptoe and whispered in Eirin's ear: "Erin, I have decided to make another Penglai medicine."

"What!"

Hearing Kaguya's words, Eirin's face changed in horror. She squeezed Kaguya's hand with worry and asked: "Your Highness, haven't you already swallowed the Pill of Horai? Why do you want to do it again?" share?"

When they were in the Moon Capital, Eirin and Kaguya had already tried to make the Horai Medicine. As a result, one of the two medicinal materials was successful and the other failed. The prepared Horai Medicine was eaten by Kaguya, so Eirin didn't understand it. , why would she make another one?

"The Medicine of Penglai is a treasure that can completely eliminate the boundary between life and death, no matter for any existence."

Kaguya's answer was a bit baffling, but the slight distortion Eirin saw on the other person's face made her slightly stunned.

"Hey, please, Yonglin, please help me."

Kaguya looked at Eirin expectantly, and at the same time, she pulled Eirin's hand with a greasy voice and began to act coquettishly. This made the strangeness in Eirin's eyes quickly turn into helpless doting.

Eirin once worked with Kaguya to create the Pill of Horai, but in the end only Kaguya was punished, which made her feel guilty for a time. What's more, Kaguya also has a special "life experience", and it is difficult for Eirin to refuse Kaguya's offer. ask.

It's just that being soft-hearted is one thing, but reality is another.

"Your Highness, making the Penglai Medicine is not a simple matter," Yong Lin said with a bitter smile: "Even if you can collect all the 'auxiliary medicines', have you forgotten? The 'main medicine' is the Penglai Medicine. The key."

"I know," Kaguya's eyes did not waver in the slightest, and she said nonchalantly: "The 'main ingredient' in making the Pill of Horai is vitality. It is a huge vitality. I am afraid that even if everyone on this land is killed, it will still be collected. It’s not enough.”

"your Highness."

Eirin's eyes suddenly became dull for a moment, and she looked at Kaguya with a somewhat complicated look. How could her princess say such a thing.

"That's why I asked you to bring this."

Not noticing the subtle changes in Eirin's expression, Kaguya opened the package containing half of the Pill of Horai that Eirin had just given to her.

"Have you forgotten? Yonglin, we don't have such huge vitality in the Moon Capital, but we have found something that can replace it."

There was only a square box in the package that Kaguya opened. However, after Kaguya opened it, what lay inside was not medicine, but an exquisite goblet.

Kaguya carefully lifted her up, and the desire in her eyes could no longer be hidden:

"This cup of sin, which once harvested countless souls on this land, is the highest praise to praise the sins of the living, and is a vessel of great sin that juxtaposes eternity with death."

"[Gluttony]!!"

When she saw what Kaguya took out, the doubts and worries on Eirin's face disappeared, leaving only endless fear and horror.

At this moment, she finally saw the expression on Kaguya's face clearly. It was not the joy of being satisfied because of getting it, nor was it the humility of having her prayers fulfilled.

The enthusiasm flashing in Kaguya's eyes was like a flame that seemed to burn him up.

Her cheeks showed a sickly flush, and while stroking the sinful object of gluttony in her hand, she looked more like a gambler showing desire for money than a collector admiring his cherished things!

Now Eirin finally understood. She stepped back without hesitation, aiming her long bow at Kaguya in front of her, with an undisguised cold murderous intent in her eyes:

"You guy, you are not Her Royal Highness! Who the hell are you!!"
