Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 280 Three Heavens and Earth, I am the only one

The scene in front of him was really weird. The guard who was riding a horse and crossing a sword a moment ago had long lost his awe-inspiring momentum, and his face turned green and white. Fortunately, he still remembered his mission, patted the dirt on his body, and walked towards Shikamaru to ask questions. Said: "Where are you from..."

Before the guard could finish his sentence, Shikamaru, who was leaning against a dead tree, suddenly glanced at him, and the fingers of his right hand hanging on his knee shook indiscernibly, a spiritual energy that could not be detected by the naked eye It emanated from Shikamaru's body, and disappeared into the guard's body.

Although this person has a strong physique and is not comparable to ordinary people, he is not good at illusion. At this time, Shikamaru's spiritual energy invaded his mind, and various hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes. He saw countless people wearing black clothes around him, with bloodless faces se, stared at him indifferently, and looked carefully, only to find that these people were all civilians who died directly or indirectly at his hands.

Pfft!

The guard was covered in cold sweat, and wanted to raise his legs to run backwards, but found that his body was almost out of control, his legs gave way, and he suddenly knelt on the ground.

Ryu Uesugi, who had been watching the situation from a distance, was also shocked when he saw that Shikamaru turned his eyes away from the kneeling guard and landed on his group, his eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he swallowed , he couldn't figure out how a well-known warrior in the army would become so unbearable in the face of Shikamaru?Several guards and followers also looked at each other in blank dismay, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Qingji Uesugi, the lord of Tateyama Castle, can barely be considered a Buddhist. As his second son, Ryu Uesugi can be regarded as pure-minded under the influence of his ears and eyes. He has no other hobbies except hunting. He has never raised the minds of the common people. In fact, he seems to have lived in two different worlds with the common people since he was born 19 years ago. He has never been hungry, so he does not understand what it is to be hungry enough to eat bark and dirt I feel that he encloses the land and prohibits civilians from entering the forest, just like a child wants to occupy his own toys and prevent others from touching them. He has never thought about the harm it will cause to others, so after having a realistic nightmare, he It seemed so uneasy, especially after the series of events experienced after waking up, compared with the scene in the dream one by one, it became more and more weird.

Although Uesugi Ryuya often calls himself a man because he likes hunting, he has never experienced too many things and has always grown up under the care of his elders. When he realized that things were out of control, he didn't know whether to go or stay. Pulling the reins and turning the horse's head, he led his entourage and guards back to Guanshan City in a hurry, even ignoring the weak-legged guard.

To see whether a person's heart is strong, it is enough to observe his performance in adversity. A well-trained soldier may not be better than a civilian when facing a cliff. Shikamaru is not far in front of him, kneeling on the ground His bodyguards are indeed brutal for civilians, but when faced with the invincible "ghosts", their performance is even worse than Shikamaru expected.

Shikamaru no longer paid attention to the other party, calmed his thoughts, his eyes seemed to open and close, his heart was no longer fluctuating, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, and even his breathing slowed down a lot.

When all external objects and troubles, redundant thinking and preparations were left behind by Shikamaru, his perception became more sensitive than ever.

He could feel that the dead tree behind him was dead, without any energy of life, but in the shade under the dead tree, there were countless hyphae growing slowly but firmly; the bay red horse a few steps away The se horse was looking down at the weeds, and finally couldn't help but swallowed them into its mouth, but it happened to pick up a few stones that were holding down the grass and hindering its growth.

Shikamaru's heart moved, and he said silently to the eight-tailed bull in his body: "My body is temporarily entrusted to you for protection."

Thinking in this way, there seemed to be a light golden light flashing on the surface of Shikamaru's body, and the energy body made of chakra had already separated from his body, escaping into the soil under his body, running for several miles in the darkness Finally, Fang sprang out from the ground. At this time, he was already in the forest, and he continued to fly upwards without stopping, until he was on the top of the forest and the sun was shining on the clone without any cover. Hold the momentum.

The energy body formed mainly by spiritual energy, supplemented by physical energy, under the sunlight shines like colored glass, Shikamaru looks at the forest sea, at this moment freed from the shackles of the physical body, he can easily feel this The majestic energy contained in the forest, the plants are absorbing the natural energy, and the animals that live on the plants also give back to the forest in their own way.

This is the cycle of nature.

Shikamaru looked at his palm, the chakra was dissipating bit by bit, returning to nature, if he died right away, all the chakra and energy would be recovered naturally and brought into the cycle of reincarnation.

No wonder he was always vaguely aware of the importance of reincarnation in his heart before, so that he repeatedly emphasized it in the teachings.

The unity of all things, even if it is as strong as the ten tails, cannot completely wipe out this world. After the great development of human beings in the previous life, they have made dazzling achievements. Remedies are already being carried out in this era, probably because human beings are still extremely fragile to the whole world, and nature in this life also has its own cycle, that is, natural energy. Under the premise of human development in the square world, carefully maintain it.

The natural energy itself contains two kinds of power, the spirit and the spirit. The spirit belongs to nature, multiplying and growing many creatures, while the spirit wanders in the world.Perhaps when these countless wills and memories collide and overlap, and strong emotions resonate, Ten Tails will be born from this.

Thinking of the existence of ten-tailed and tailed beasts, Shikamaru couldn't help but frowned slightly, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart: "Maybe I can build a kingdom of God, incorporating the spiritual energy of believers after death."

The theory of heaven and hell is actually similar to the reward and punishment mechanism. Almost all religions in the previous life have similar sayings, making various promises to believers, "rewarding" loyal believers like castles in the sky, and then threatening those who violate the teachings or even unbelievers.

Although Shikamaru disdains to learn from a certain sect in his previous life, intimidating and even cursing people who don't believe in its teachings, he does need the existence of a kingdom of God to carry the souls of his believers.

Of course, maintaining natural reincarnation is only a premise. Shikamaru’s essential idea is to realize the Datong society in his heart, but the best wish depends on reality, and a sufficient material foundation must be ensured. What Shikamaru wants is a prosperous world, and what Shikamaru wants is a prosperous world. It's not that everyone is starving together, but he can't conjure food and pigs and sheep out of thin air, especially in the poor and empty land of the Land of Land.

Shikamaru ordered Xianglin to teach the priests the knowledge of agriculture and medical treatment. One is to make the faith take root everywhere, and the other is for this. Being able to rely on one's personal ability to increase the food production in the preaching place, expand influence and help civilians, kills two birds with one stone.

It's just that in this way, before the emergence of the prosperous age, his priests and believers had to pay more than ordinary people. This is unfair. Shikamaru hopes to remedy it. If the Kingdom of God is built, this idea may be realized.

Shikamaru kept thinking and perfecting his own thoughts in his mind, while his legs were subconsciously coiled up, maintaining the same posture as the body in the distance, floating in mid-air, like an old monk entering meditation.

…………

Shikamaru sat quietly under the dead tree without eating or drinking. After two days in a row, not only Ryu Uesugi also noticed something abnormal, there were already rumors inside and outside Tateyama Castle.

Shikamaru sat under the scorching sun in the white sun, not even sweating on his face, except for his weak breathing, he seemed to be dead, but every time someone tried to disturb him, it would touch the hole left by Shikamaru The illusion, in the eyes of ordinary people, is like being possessed by a demon, and he was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Shikamaru.

Three days later, a hunter accidentally discovered at night that many animals appeared at the edge of the forest. After careful observation, he was surprised to find that many of the animals that were natural enemies were all safe and sound, such as deer, cunning fox, tiger, brown bear... All kinds of animals and beasts do not disturb each other, they are divided into several waves clearly, standing or sitting around Shikamaru, and when the sky is bright, they return to the woods in twos and threes.

After this incident spread to Tateyama Castle, it caused a huge commotion. Many cults in Shikamaru's previous life could fool many people into being fooled by relying on some alarmist stories and street tricks such as cooking oil pans with empty hands, not to mention this Shikamaru supplements its own energy with the eight-tailed chakra to achieve a real "bigu", and then relies on spiritual energy to attract animals.

False believers are actually the easiest to be deceived. After hearing the news about Shikamaru, the city lord Uesugi Qingji immediately came here in person, wanting to pay a visit, but Shikamaru, or the eight-tailed fierce bull, naturally wouldn't because of Taking a high look at his identity, Shikamaru is still immersed in the state of trance.

In the past few days, some people have figured out Shikamaru's rules. As long as they don't intend to disturb him with malice, they can stay by his side at will. It's boring, but he just followed this routine and bowed a few steps away from Shikamaru. Seeing the fierce sun on Shikamaru's head, he wanted to order someone to set up a tent around him, but unfortunately when the entourage carrying the tent arrived Afterwards, he couldn't get close to Shikamaru no matter what, and started walking in place after a few steps away from Shikamaru, Uesugi Qingji had no choice but to let it go.

It’s just that Uesugi Qingji still sent a few entourages and soldiers to stay around. Although it was said to prevent others from disturbing Shikamaru’s samadhi, and he could inform himself as soon as there was news, in fact, Uesugi Qingji still had some doubts in his heart. , they sent people to monitor Shikamaru.

It's just that Shikamaru doesn't care much about what's happening around his body now, he is now fighting a powerful enemy that is hard to see in his life.
