Chapter 405: Grandpa and Grandson Ashina!
In the inner city of Ashina Castle, there is a tall tower called the castle tower.
A small banquet is being held on top of the castle tower.
The graceful geishas are playing music and dancing with island characteristics, and the generals are drinking to cheer them up.
Xiao frowned slightly, looking at the food in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.
This place is similar to the island country, with scarce resources. The dishes for entertaining guests are only simple white rice, salted fish and pickled vegetables, which are classic banquets in the Warring States Period.
Xianyilang noticed the disgust on Xiao's face and asked softly: "Are you dissatisfied with the food?"
Xiao answered frankly: "Indeed, I think this country is not small, why are the dishes so simple?"
Xianyilang smiled bitterly and explained: "You may not understand that Ashina is now facing a war with the shogunate, and the food supply is tight, which is indeed a bit stretched."
Then he described the current situation of Ashina in detail.
It turned out that Ashina had long been under the control of the shogunate, but in the "War of Stealing the Country" decades ago, Ashina successfully gained independence.
However, as his father was getting old and unable to fight again, the shogunate attacked again, and Ashina had to go all out to deal with the shogunate's attack.
"I hope to protect my country. Please help me, Ashina is willing to believe in you!!"
Suddenly, Genichirō knelt on the ground without hesitation, got off his seat with the most pious manner, and prostrated himself to Xiao to express his respect.
Obviously, Genichirō still remembered Xiao's identity as a god-man, which was just blasphemed by the snake.
Although he didn't know what the god-man meant, since it was related to the gods, it must be believed and worshipped.
This is the land of reeds, something that all gods need, and he didn't believe that Xiao, the god-man, would not be tempted.
"Heh~"
However, Xiao chuckled disdainfully, looked into the distance, and ignored Genichirō's request.
Seeing Xiao's indifference, Genichirō gritted his teeth and waved his hand to signal the guards behind him to leave.
Then, he said: "I know that worldly things are difficult to impress you, but I wonder if you have heard of a mysterious power that can make people immortal-the power of Dragon's Heir?"
Then, Genichirō told the legend of Dragon's Heir in Ashina Castle.
It is said that people with such power can resurrect the dead and give them eternal immortal life.
However, from Xiao's expression, he obviously did not have much interest in this topic.
Seeing Xiao's lack of interest, Genichirō stood up awkwardly, called back the guards, and brought a jar, saying: "Please look, my dear, what is contained in it is the Transformation Water containing the immortal power!"
After that, Genichirō ordered the attendant beside him to drink the Transformation Water. In an instant, blue-black lines spread rapidly on the other's face like a venomous snake.
Soon afterwards, the attendant lost his mind and turned into a violent monster in front of Xiao. It bared its teeth and claws, and let out a low roar, as if it wanted to tear Xiao to pieces.
"Such a powerful force, aren't you tempted?"
Xianyilang looked at Xiao, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
In response, Xiao just smiled coldly and threw a dead thorn. The pitiful monster was instantly killed by the thorns, and its body turned into a dark thorn bush and fell to the ground.
"Boring, your knowledge is too low."
Xiao turned his head to look at Xianyilang, shook his head disdainfully, and seemed to be very disappointed with Xianyilang's proposal.
Xianyilang was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "What about thunder? Have you heard of the thunder struck by the dragon, the legendary strange art, the thunder of Ba?"
"What thunder did you say just now?"
Xiao curled his lips, condensed a golden thunder gun in his palm, and threw it directly into the sky.
"Boom~~~"
The endless golden thunder instantly filled the sky of the entire Ashina City, like a divine punishment.
"How is it possible?"
Looking at the thunder outside the sky that was like a divine punishment, Genichirō sat on the ground helplessly. In the face of such a great power, even if he gave his all, he could not impress Xiao Xin.
That night, in a guest room in Ashina City, Xiao lay lazily on the bed, looking through the window at the night view of the city in the distance.
The moonlight sprinkled on the city wall, which seemed particularly peaceful.
In fact, no matter what conditions Genichirō proposed, there were always very few things in this world that could attract Xiao.
This was probably a kind of dimensionality reduction attack. Xiao, who had seen the prosperous border, was no longer interested in this barren world.
In the sky, from time to time, a figure like a big bird passed by. It was the ninja responsible for security in the city. They wore ferocious masks on their faces and flew around as light as a swallow.
These people were called "Yingying Clan", and they really came and went as freely as eagles.
"Let's eat this whole world tomorrow. This world is so unpleasant no matter how I look at it!"
Xiao's consciousness scanned the entire Reed Land. The area of this world is actually not very large, only about four or five times larger than the island country.
Such a small world, Xiao is fully capable of eating the whole world in one bite.
"A truly terrible declaration, Lord God, please give this poor world another chance. It's not all sin here. There are still countless poor people who are oppressed!"
Just then, a figure quietly appeared on Xiao's windowsill, as silent as a ghost.
Xiao looked up and saw a white-haired old man standing there, wearing a red long-nosed mask on his face, giving people a strange and ferocious feeling.
The old man walked down from the windowsill lightly, his movements were as graceful as a dancer, and he slowly walked in front of Xiao, revealing a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"People here won't feel it!"
Xiao tilted his head slightly and asked with a somewhat dissatisfied tone:
"Don't people here like to go through the door?"
The old man opposite laughed heartily, and the sound echoed in the room, as if to overturn the roof.
"Hahaha~~~, this is good!!"
He replied with a smile, and his laughter was full of unruly and open-mindedness.
"Don't you try to persuade me?" Xiao asked curiously, staring at the old man's eyes.
However, the old man shook his head, sighed and said:
"If I were thirty years younger, I might try to persuade you, but now, it doesn't matter. If I die, Ashina will probably be gone. Instead of handing Ashina over to those cruel beasts, it is better to let you, the God, completely destroy it."
After saying that, the old man knelt straight in front of Xiao, took off the Tengu mask, revealing a thin face.
His eyes were firm and solemn, as if he was expressing his determination in his heart to Xiao.
"I am Ashina Isshin, the lord of this city."
The old man introduced himself in a low and powerful voice, and he asked again:
"You, my lord, are you a god from the border area?"
