I, the lord of ghost stories

"What's more, even if someone takes a huge risk and succeeds, they can't use divine power to prolong their lifespan."

"Because even the human god himself is mortal, and it is difficult to prolong his life."

"These have long been proven in history, I hope you think twice."

"A person's lifespan is fixed, called the tiannian. This is a category that is roughly determined at birth. With proper care, it can be increased appropriately, and it will be closer to the [-]th year. But it is very difficult to make up for it the day after tomorrow!"

"Please think twice!"

Onmyoji bent down and bowed, Shi Song Gantai also stood up immediately and bowed to the end.

Mochizuki Toichiro closed his eyes in disappointment, and waved his hand.

"Since this is the case, forget about being a god. Keep an eye on the daughter of Qianyu's family. If you have any clues, get them for me immediately."

"Yes, in addition, our people found the legendary wet nurse Sakura."

"Nurse Sakura!"

The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out a light, and his body, which was half lying on the soft armchair, immediately sat up straight.

"Is it...the nurse cherry plant in the legend?"

In his old voice, there was even an unconcealable tremor, and the skinny palm that was held on the smooth armrest of the solid wooden recliner was inadvertently clenched tightly.

Those who are familiar with him know that this is a subconscious action of the Mochizuki Patriarch when he is faced with a major event.

"Yes, this is a photo taken by our people."

Shi Songqian bowed and saluted, and handed over the palm-sized display screen.

The shogunate has its own intelligence agency, and the Mochizuki Foundation naturally also has its own sources of information collection.

As an emerging consortium, the Mochizuki Consortium has some shortcomings in terms of accumulation, but it is unique in terms of technology.

At this time, there was a crackling sound outside the window, and a few drops of rain hit the special window glass.

Looking up, the sky darkened at some point.

"It's windy...won't it delay the flowering period?"

Mochizuki Taoichiro frowned slightly, a little worried.

"No, it was found in a valley."

Mochizuki Toichiro's hand lit on the screen.

Many high-definition quality pictures appear in front of you.

Click on one, and a valley shrouded in clouds and mist appears.

Click it again, and after zooming in, it stands in the depths of the clouds.

The cherry blossoms blooming from this tree, pink and plain white complement each other, and the white is rosy, catching the eye.

"The file was established three years ago, and 72 people from the third intelligence team traveled all over Dongying to explore the strange story of nurse Sakura."

About the nurse cherry, it is recorded in a strange story.

More than 300 years ago, in Iyo Country, Onsen County, Chaomi Village, there was a rich man named Tokubei.

He is the richest person in the five villages and eight townships nearby. He is very famous and loved by the villagers. He became the village head under the recommendation of everyone.

The fly in the ointment is that, at the age of 40, Tokubei still doesn't have a man and a woman under his knees.

In order to have a child, Tokubei often went to the famous Saiho Temple in Asami Village with his wife to worship Fudo Myo-o, who was enshrined in the temple, hoping to have a son.

Later, Tokubei and his wife got their wish. His wife was pregnant in October and finally gave birth to a daughter.

This little girl was born cute and delicate, quite likable.

Tokubei named her "Xiaolu".

Due to the lack of mother's milk, Tokubei invited a woman named Osode to be Xiaolu's wet nurse.

Time flies, under the care and care of her parents and nurses, Xiaolu gradually grows into a slim and beautiful girl.

Unfortunately, at the age of 15, Xiaolu contracted a serious illness. Tokubei and his wife paid a lot of money to invite many famous doctors to treat her, but every doctor felt that there was no cure.

For many years, she has regarded Xiaolu as her own child, cherishing her and loving her nurse Axiu like her own mother, and her heart is cut like a knife.

She secretly came to Xifa Temple, made a wish in front of the statue of Fudo Myoki, and prayed devoutly for Xiaolu.In this way, she stayed in the temple for 21 days.

During these days, Axiu burned incense and worshiped every day, and on the day when the wish was fulfilled, Xiao Lu miraculously recovered.

The Tokubei family was overjoyed, and held a big feast, inviting relatives, neighbors, friends, etc., to celebrate Xiaolu's recovery lively.

However, on the night of the banquet, the wet nurse Axiu fell ill without warning.In the early morning of the next day, Ah Xiu was already waterless, and it seemed that his life was not long.

Xiaolu just happened to be, and Axiu fell ill again. These unfortunate events made Tokubei's family at a loss.For so many years, they have regarded Axiu as their family, and they gathered beside Axiu's bed to sigh and bid farewell in tears.

Seeing Xiao Lu, Ah Xiu forced her sick body to show a smile, and said the following:

"Everyone, I've run out of fuel, and now I have some things to ask.

In fact, after the miss fell ill, I went to Saiho Temple and made an oath to Fudo Myo, as long as the miss can recover safely, I would die for the miss.

Now, the merciful god has granted my wish.Then, it was my turn to fulfill my wish.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have fulfilled my wish and died a worthy death, please don't be sad for me.

I just have one small request.Originally, I wanted to plant a cherry tree in Saihoji Temple with my own hands, as a thank you gift to Fudo Myoo—this was also one of the vows I made to the gods at that time.

But the illness came like a mountain, and now I am unable to plant this cherry tree with my own hands, so I ask the lady to repay this last wish for me!

Everyone, take care! Axiu bids farewell first.I am already satisfied to die in Miss Lu's place. "

After saying these words, Axiu closed his eyes and passed away.

Tokubei organizes Osode's funeral as a family member.

After the funeral, Xiao Lu chose an auspicious day and personally planted a carefully selected cherry tree in Xifa Temple.

Later, the cherry tree grew vigorously, and on February [-] of the next year, which is the anniversary of Axiu's death, it bloomed a tree of elegant and fragrant flowers, and the villagers came to appreciate it.

Since then, this cherry tree has always bloomed on time on February 200, and it has never stopped for more than [-] years.

The pink and plain white cherry blossoms blooming from this tree complement each other, and the white is rosy, resembling a woman's breasts that secrete milk.

Therefore, people in the world call this tree "Nurse Sakura".

Mochizuki Toichiro had naturally read this strange talk.

The story itself is not important, what is important is the cherry blossom that appeared in the ghost story.

Chapter 170 Five Seize the Day and Night

Many ancient secrets have been passed down from generation to generation in the form of ghost stories.

In order to explore the secrets, he made great efforts to set up a special department to collect these legendary treasures that may prolong life.

"Is it confirmed?"

Mochizuki Taoichiro browsed the information quietly, and gradually regained his composure.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Since the establishment of this department, countless financial resources and manpower have been invested, and the results have been quite a lot-unraveling the mystery behind many strange stories.

The loss is not small. Many exploration teams have been involved in various bizarre phenomena, such as madness, disappearance, curse, disability... Many times they have to choose to give up because of this.

The high pension fee alone is not a small expense, not to mention hiring special people such as conjurers, onmyojis, and priests and psychics from all over the world.

It is simply impossible for a normal person to do something with little benefit.

Great expense, little gain.

Only Tao Ichiro Mochizuki, as the master of entrepreneurship, opened up a business kingdom, in order to prolong his life, can he be so willing to invest.

Most of the ghost stories are really just stories, and the pursuit is just to confirm this point.

Even if there are sporadic mysteries, most of them are some weak monsters, ghosts, etc., which are not enough to make up for the investment...

Only a very few of the very few have practical significance.

For example, a rare treasure that enhances spiritual power was brought back during an exploration.

He himself was originally just a mortal, and after several harvests, his spiritual power was greatly improved, and he was able to step into the field of spells.

But this is not what he pursues the most... what he urgently needs is longevity.

It's not the first time he has encountered news like the discovery of nurse Sakura, so he just hopes that it won't be empty joy again.

"Yes, the information is true."

The onmyoji in clean clothes had a dignified look on his face.

"It is precisely because the information is true that I am in a hurry to report this matter to you."

"Please go as soon as possible. If it exceeds six hours, it will be difficult to guarantee the blockade."

Everyone lacks life-extending treasures. If the news is leaked, it is not clear whether Mochizuki Taoichiro can get it.

"Can't that thing be brought back?"

Mochizuki Taoichiro asked immediately.

"No, Lord Tao Yilang, this is exactly its unique situation."

"Not only can it not be moved, but the sap removed will lose all its effectiveness in a short time."

"It must be used within 500 meters of the tree, otherwise it's just ordinary tree sap."

"According to the rumors, the nursery cherry plant located in the temple is a nursery cherry tree, but it is not a nursery cherry tree."

"What the world doesn't know is that the real nurse cherry tree is actually a strange phenomenon, not a specific cherry blossom tree."

"It seems that every once in a while, nurse cherry blossoms will appear among the cherry blossom trees in Japan."

"Collecting its sap and drinking it on the spot can prolong life."

"The time is very short, only in the short period of flowering period, this cherry tree is the real nurse cherry tree."

"Once the flowering period is over, or if you take too much, it will lose its miraculous effect quickly."

"This secret is only known to the descendants of the villagers of Chaomei Village. We found out this secret and found a qualified wet nurse Sakura in the wild where there are few people."

Mochizuki Taoichiro nodded, and asked for details:

"According to the procedure, have animal experiments been arranged?"

Onmyoji was startled, but he didn't know this.

Shi Songgan took a half step forward and handed over the paper document.

"The animal experiment control group has been arranged, and the results have just come out."

"All the animals that ingested the tree sap had improved cell viability, their telomere wear was compensated to varying degrees, and many old injuries were healed."

"The laboratory has concluded that this sap has the effect of delaying aging and healing injuries. In theory, it can indeed be used to prolong life, but... it seems that there is a certain drug resistance."

"After more than 20ml, the effect is almost gone."

"According to the comparison, it is speculated that the life span of the experimental animals has been extended by about two to three years."

"20ml...that's just one mouthful."

Mochizuki Toichiro was a little disappointed.

It's not the kind of thing he thought... But anyway, it's good that it works.

Even if he could live for two more years, that would be great.

"Very well, take me there."

The car soon reached a valley.

The road is lined with hillsides, with wooden railings, and barbed wire.

There are forests planted on the hillside, and there are shrubs and weeds in the forest.

The terrain of Dongying is complex and mountainous, and there are often natural disasters such as mountain torrents and mudslides.

Forests can effectively reduce landslides and mudslides... Even so, a large number of Dongying people are still trapped and missing every year.
