Red Dust

At a young age, Daimaru, who was self-righteous, was no match for his mother who seemed modest, but was actually quite assertive, no matter how shrewd he was.

"If you find it, it is estimated that it will be ruined. How many things have you broken in your home?"

Daimaru smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

"Actually, it's not a valuable thing. It's the common utensils used in the shrine's worship, and there are some daily necessities. Even if outsiders see it, they don't know how to use them. Even me, some of them are not fully recognized. Of course, at most It's some books that I don't understand..."

"Show me when you have time, I haven't seen any serious shrine utensils..."

"can!"

Mother Wu Ye nodded in agreement.

It's normal to be curious, and with Daimaru's character, he'll definitely think about it.

The Land of Winds is vast and sparsely populated, and there are quite a few monks, but shrines and the like are extremely rare.

If it weren't for Daimaru's family, it would have something to do with these. Daimaru would be wondering if all the shrines in the Land of Winds were demolished by monks.

By the way, there is a junior in the air team. It seems that his family moved to Shayin Village from abroad to avoid the war. If you have time, you can have a good conversation with him.

Although ninjas do not place much value on the gods and Buddhas, they do not reject them too much either.

Chapter 0326 Fuyuan

Daimaru didn't know what kind of person his grandmother was, so he could only imagine a rough image out of thin air from his mother's story.

The Country of Birds is a small country sandwiched between the Country of Earth and the Country of Wind. Its area is similar to that of the Country of Grass, but its strength is even weaker.

As a buffer area between the two big countries, there is no ninja village in the country of the bird, so Shinto outside the mainstream can take root, and large and small wandering ninja groups are not uncommon.

Compared with other big countries, Daimyo of Bird Country, which relies on secular power, has a lot more power, but because there is no strong ninja protection, there are many unscrupulous people who covet its interests and want to control Daimyo.

Half a year ago, there was a bad incident in which a wandering ninja tried to steal the power of the daimyo. The messenger of the bird country traveled thousands of miles to the village of Konoha to rescue soldiers and expelled the wandering ninjas with bad deeds, solving the problem of the daimyo.

As for why not to find the rock ninja and sand ninja who are close at hand, the small country has few people, and it is not easy to survive. In the cracks between the land of earth and the country of wind, once it shows signs of leaning towards one side, it will definitely provoke retaliation from the other side.

It is much better to turn to Konoha Ninja. Although he is an ally of Sand Shinobi, he can also express the attitude of the country of the bird, and will not lead to the misunderstanding of Iwa Shinobi.

That mission in the Land of Birds was completed by Naruto Uzumaki, Tian Tian and Neji Hyuga. Daimaru was still a little impressed, but he was too busy at that time to pay attention to such trivial matters.

Now, after learning about some interesting things, Daimaru is also thinking about whether he should take the time to go to the land of birds and see what happened to those Shinto believers.

The monks in the land of wind and the monks in the land of fire, Daimaru have seen some, most of them are wearing the cloak of faith, manipulating chakra, using some other so-called masters of ninjutsu and sealing, and the difference from ninjas is not very big. .

Of course, it is not excluded that there are also practitioners who are truly virtuous and respected, such as Fenfu.

The family chatting while eating, after enjoying a hearty lunch, went home satisfied.

Some stubborn and dissatisfied grandfather He Chen, although a little tired, but he did not want to let Daimaru carry it, he was supported by his mother Wu Ye and Daimaru and walked back, washed a little, and went upstairs to rest.

Mother continued to work, while Daimaru went back to the room to look at the so-called shrine relics.

There is a full box, and I don't know where it was hidden before to escape the "poisonous hands" of Daimaru.

In Daimaru's eyes, most of them are useless "rubbish", but they are still carefully preserved by his mother Wu Ye and put together in different categories.

Those rubbish that didn't know their use were put aside by Daimaru for the time being, and several sheepskin books that seemed to be some years old were solemnly picked out.

"Ancient Chronicles? Probably about the origins of ancient myths and worship of gods..."

Most of these records are half-true and half-false, and they have been circulated for many years, resulting in a lot of falsehoods.

Although unbelievable, it can still be used as a reference.

After reading it carefully, Daimaru had a general understanding of the gods that his grandmother used to worship.

At the beginning of the world, the father god Izanagi and the mother god Izanagi gave birth to a deformed son, Hiruko, because of a wrong ceremony. Because he was too ugly, he was abandoned by the father and mother god and floated away.

Later generations worshiped its name, and the leech gradually became a symbol of the god of sea, the god of wealth, and the god of good fortune. After many years, it developed into the most influential god of good fortune in the ninja world, which is now Ebisu.

The so-called leeches have the same meaning as Fei Liuhu, the pronunciation is exactly the same, but the spelling is different.

It can be seen that the so-called leech and Ebisu beliefs are deeply rooted in the hearts of the ninja world.

The shrine where Daimaru's grandmother used to be, enshrines the righteous gods, not the evil gods that Hidean believes in.

However, the distinction between righteous gods and evil gods is actually based on the good and evil of human beings. For gods, this is not necessarily the case.

Ebisu is the god of good fortune, and it is only her instinct or duty to bring good luck to people. It does not necessarily have good intentions for human beings. The devout priestesses were bullied by ninjas, and when they were scattered, they did not see the god of luck bless their believers.

To try to figure out the divine in terms of human nature can sometimes lead to fatal errors.

After a long time, Daimaru, who closed the book, took a deep breath and relieved his tired body.

"The rest, see later! 』

These books, handed down from an unknown era, have different characters from today, and the grammar is also difficult to understand. If you want to understand the meaning, you have to guess. If it wasn't for Daimaru's knowledge that is far beyond ordinary people, it really doesn't matter. Must understand what it means.

"Sure enough, it's normal for my mother to not understand, and I guess even my grandmother doesn't understand very much..."

The essence passed down from the records of the priests from generation to generation has been collected into this set of "Ancient Chronicles". This is still a handed down reading, which is easy to accept. For the rest, Daimaru does not understand the meaning, especially the spells. Ordinary prayers, those tongue-in-cheek syllables, are difficult to read smoothly.

After reading it for a long time, I have not found any valuable information. Although there is some information that I have not paid attention to before, it is still unknown what it can be used for.

The authenticity of the records cannot be judged.

However, the worldview it reveals is quite interesting.

In today's world, ninjas are the mainstream, and the six-path immortals who are known as the ancestors of the ninja world are not considered real mythical characters. Other gods and gods are regarded as strange stories and are not believed by people.

In particular, the ninjas who have mastered extraordinary powers are not very afraid of the gods, and they have never been soft-handed to destroy the followers of the evil god.

"However, has the so-called influence of God really gone away? 』

With a wave of his hand, Daimaru released Yukin from his body, allowing him to activate the second curse and seal state, and then stretched out his left hand, and the cloud pattern like flames spread upward from the palm of his hand.

After a few seconds, Daimaru, who had just reached the shoulder, could no longer bear it, tapped the navel chakra near the right, and the uncontrollable natural energy was instantly vented into his body. The skin was burning like a flame, the pieces were peeled off, the muscles and bones were exposed, and the blood was burned to ashes before the blood came out.

At the same time, Bai Jue, who was connected, spared no effort to provide life energy, but was still unable to reverse the collapse of his body.

Daimaru, who frowned, thought about it, and attached Bai Jue's clone to his body, increasing the supply of life force, and at the same time controlling the vigorous spiritual seeds in his body, jointly suppressing the damage of natural energy to the body.

0327 The Way Forward

After a few minutes, Ukon's injury was finally stabilized, Daimaru expelled the natural energy in his body, and let go of his slightly nervous heart.

"My ability to withstand natural energy has far exceeded that of Ukon, but I still can't reach the level of cultivating the immortal mode..."

Yujin, who can use the second state of the curse mark, is definitely not bad, not to mention that it also fits the bloodline limit of the curse mark Chakra very well. Originally, Daimaru thought that such a condition was only one step away from the immortal mode.

But it is this gap that seems to be within reach, which is as difficult to cross as a moat.

"Where is the difference, is it really impossible to avoid the problem?Isn't it the bloodline of the Six Path Immortals, completely unable to touch the core strength of the ninja world? 』

His own mental strength and chakra strength Daimaru already thinks he is strong enough, and his physical fitness is not bad. With the help of Ukon and Bai Jue clones, even if he can't catch up with Naruto Uzumaki, he won't even be able to touch the edge of immortal mode. .

But the reality is that accessing and controlling natural energies is very difficult.

There is a gap, Daimaru admits, but it is definitely not that big.

"It's not that my strength is too poor, it's that I used the wrong method! 』

After thinking about it for a long time, Daimaru also had some vague ideas.

"Furthermore, the natural energy I extracted, the destructive power to Ukon's body is too great!Why, is it an energy conflict? 』

This is not like the damage of natural energy to Youjin, but it is a bit like the mutual exclusion of natural energy and Charm Chakra, causing Youjin's body to be unbearable and tend to collapse.

"Is there any difference between the natural energy I perceive and extract and the natural energy extracted by the Ukon mantra, and even incompatible? 』

Daimaru, who had a little understanding, once again gathered the natural energy in the palm of his hand, forming a small crimson flame, and then a little bit of the chakra and natural energy collected in the second state of the right near the mantra seal into it.

A crisp neigh sounded, like blocking a test tube filled with hydrogen with a thumb, approaching the alcohol lamp and releasing it, burning violently but not causing an explosion.

"Damaru, what happened?"

Downstairs, Wu Ye, the mother who heard the voice, asked.

"It's okay, don't worry..."

"Then... be careful, don't practice ninjutsu at home..."

When he was a child, the naughty Daimaru practiced ninjutsu at home, but he broke a lot of furniture.

"understood!"

This small experiment did not cause any bad results. Daimaru protected the fragile books not far away in time, and the impact of the airflow did not cause damage to the room.

Different types of natural energy are not necessarily compatible. The natural energy that Daimaru perceives is not suitable for practicing snake magic.

By analogy, the different manifestations of the toad fairy and snake fairy arts after successful cultivation are not without reasons.

The natural energy generated by the will of all things in the ninja world is compared to oil. The big snake in Longdi Cave extracted the diesel oil and used its own chakra to ignite it to cultivate the snake fairy technique. The toad of Miaomushan extracted gasoline and used its own chakra to ignite Practice toad magic.

But Daimaru didn't know anything, so he tried it with crude oil, which was neither easy to control nor easy to ignite. The difficulty of cultivating immortal mode was much greater than that of snake immortal art and toad immortal art.

"It's troublesome!It is no wonder that ninjas without inheritance have such difficulty in utilizing natural energy, without mastering the "fractionation and filtration" technology, they cannot obtain suitable "fuel"..."

There is no need to think about toad oil Daimaru. Going to Longdi Cave is a life-and-death experience. It is not worth the risk. The Shibone Forest is obviously not in line with Daimaru's style.

Using the curse seal is not a long-term solution, and the risk is too great.

However, there are exceptions. For example, the immortal art of Otsutsuki Yuyi was originally passed down from the Great Toad Immortal of Miaomu Mountain, and the final cultivation was not the Toad Immortal Art, but the Six Path Immortal Model.

As long as you have enough talent, you can have no scruples, and you can come wherever you want, and some shackles and constraints can be broken through.

Unfortunately, Daimaru doesn't have that ability.

Moreover, such aimless attempts are too inefficient and dangerous.

"The White Snake Immortal has the Snake Immortal Technique, the Big Toad Immortal has the Toad Immortal Technique, and the Six Path Immortals have the Six Path Immortal Technique. When will I be able to figure out the "Daimaru Immortal Technique" that suits me..."

Daimaru, who smiled wryly, put away Ukan and Shirojue's clones, and also put away the remnants of Ebisu Shrine, and then strolled downstairs.

"Mother, I'm going out to get some air, and I'll be back for dinner later..."

"Well, it's not too late..."

Daimaru, who responded casually, pushed aside the windscreen and walked out.

The wind and sand in the afternoon calmed down a little, and the salty taste with a rough smell entered my heart along the breeze.

Daimaru, who has long been accustomed to the climate of Shayin Village, let go of his mind, followed his heart, and moved forward as he wished.
