"Heian-kyo? The capital of this country is also the largest city. I really want to see it."

While talking to herself, the girl was thinking about the interesting stories she got from Hita Rei, and when she came to the living room, she saw the old man sitting by the window drinking tea as usual.

She stepped lightly to the back of the opponent, raised a pair of small hands on the broad and thick shoulders and kneaded them skillfully, obviously this was not the first time she did this.

"Father, are you enjoying the snow again today? Or, how about letting Ah Zhu play chess with you? Of course, the premise is that you are not allowed to use your ability to cheat!"

"Call Grandpa."

The old man of the mountain calmly accepted the filial piety from Horaishan Kaguya, but he was slightly dissatisfied with the name in his words and frowned slightly.

"No, my father is my father..."

Penglai Shan Huiye said coquettishly, and beat the old man on the back with his small fist a few times to express his refusal.

"That's all. I don't have a name, so I can call you as you wish."

After trying to correct her many times without success, the man of the mountain, who didn't care much about trivial matters, followed the wishes of Horaizan Kaguya and turned his attention to other things.

"You just said that you want to play chess, then come."

Wearing a pale pink kimono, Mount Kaguya walked to the opposite side and sat down. Holding the stone first, he tapped the sunspot on the star position in the lower left corner of the chessboard, which is one of the standard opening moves of Go.

"Let's talk about it first, you are not allowed to play tricks without regret, and you are not allowed to cry when you lose."

The old man of the mountain said, picked up a white piece from the chess basket, and tapped it on the star on the lower left corner of the chessboard.

"I won't cry! As long as my father doesn't use his ability to cheat, I won't lose, Azhu!!"

Penglai Shanhuiye shook his head in denial, and took another step, the three thousand black threads scattered behind his back swayed with the shaking of his little head.

"We'll wait and see, it's too early to tell."

The old man of the mountain looked up at Penglai Shan Huiye, who was pretending to be angry with puffed cheeks, and returned to the chessboard, but the black and white chess pieces had other different perceptions in his eyes.

About half an hour later, with the crisp sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard, the whole game of chess has almost come to an end.

"These sunspots, the time of destiny has come."

The old man of the mountain murmured in a low voice, and dropped the white piece in his hand on the chessboard, killing the black chess dragon with only one mouthful of vitality.

Penglai Shan Huiye sat upright in a daze. Due to a little careless negligence, the big dragon that was finally made was slaughtered in an instant.

With the white piece having an absolute advantage, Horaishan Kaguya had no choice but to surrender and reluctantly admitted this defeat.

"Finally it's almost the hundredth game. Now I have lost 49 times, and I have lost [-] times against you."

The old man of the mountain was in a very happy mood, obviously he was happy to kill in the chess game, and there was a slight smile on his brow.

"Hmph! It's agreed that you can't cheat. How can you act like this, Father?"

Penglai Shan Huiye hummed indignantly, jumped up from the seat like a little girl, and beat the old man of the mountain with his small fists bitterly.

The girl couldn't believe that the old man's chess skills could improve so quickly in such a short period of time.

From a novice who was crushed and killed by himself, he became a top master who could kill her in turn.

The appearance of such a reversal of the situation is accompanied by a sentence, that is, whenever the old man of the mountain wants to eat his son, he will whisper softly: "This son, the time of destiny has come."

This made Penglai Shanhuiye, who knew the ability of the old man of the mountain, had to wonder if his father was using some kind of cheating method.

"Everything is subject to death. And on the chessboard, the life and death of chess pieces are also in a game, and I just happen to be able to see it."

The old man of the mountain did not make any excuses for this. After he understood the rules of the game of Go, he found the most suitable way to play, that is, to end the opponent's chess piece that should die.

After reminiscing both sides of the old man's words, Penglai Shanhui, who had just calmed down just now, gritted his silver teeth angrily, showing an expression of "you are really a bad person", and shouted:

"So in the final analysis, aren't you cheating, Father!!!"

Chapter 1 A trip to Heianjing

"I don't care! I don't care! I don't care!"

"Hmph! My father who cheats in chess, I hate it the most!!"

The noisy sound of Horaishan Kaguya resounded throughout the bamboo house, causing Hiju, who was nestled in the kotatsu, to climb out of her warm nest and take a look at the living room.

"Hey, did Master Suzuki Satoru and Ms. Suzuki Bamboo play chess again today?" Fei Ju lowered her head and sighed.

She was used to the scene that would happen once every two days, and lazily retreated into the kotatsu, continuing to be a useless cat.

"This is a passive skill, and I have no way to control it."

Looking at Penglai Shanhuiye who was massaging himself with the eight punches in front of him, the old man of the mountain explained lightly, his expression didn't change a bit.

"Furthermore, Ah Zhu. Do you really think that I don't know your little trick of using the time ability to secretly prolong the time for thinking about chess moves?"

"This one……"

After being revealed by the Master of the Mountain, the body of Horaishan Kaguya stiffened and her dark eyes rolled. She felt that she had been concealed and careful enough, but she didn't expect to be discovered.

Realizing that it might be bad to continue entanglement like this, Mount Kaguya began to change the subject, stretched out his hand to hold the old man's arm while shaking it, and asked:

"Father, Mr. Li told me many things about Heianjing today. Have you been there? What kind of place is it?"

"Heianjing? I have been there once. It's a very ordinary small city, so it's not surprising."

The old man of the mountain didn't intend to care about Penglai Shan Huiye's little cheating. He recalled the Heian capital he had been to decades ago, and there was indeed nothing novelty that could impress him deeply.

"Is that so? But Mr. Li said that Heian-kyo, as the capital of the country, is the largest and most prosperous city in the country. I think it must be very spectacular."

"If I have the chance, I really want to see it with my own eyes."

Penglai Shanhui Ye said, with a longing look in her eyes, like a caged bird longing for freedom. Although she used to be the Princess of the Moon, she had never been to many places even though she had no worries about food and clothing.

Seeing the high spirits of Horaishan Kaguya, the mountain man did not say anything to dissuade her enthusiasm. After all, it was a good thing to go out and gain experience.

However, I really want this silly girl to know what the prosperous Tang Dynasty is, and what kind of majestic and spectacular city can be called a big city.

But in the end, the old man of the mountain didn't open his mouth to help Huiye broaden his horizons. Instead, he readily agreed to her request to go to Heianjing, and he didn't seem to worry about his daughter going on a long trip.

"Since you want to go, let's go for a walk. You, Feiju, and Ah Li will go together."

Mount Penglai Huiye was not surprised that the old man of the mountain would agree to his request, because the old man of his family had always been very open-minded, and he didn't seem like a person of this era.

"Thank you, Father. What about you? Won't you come with me?"

Penglai Shanhuiye raised his head and stared at the old man of the mountain with watery eyes, with anticipation in his eyes, but the answer he got was destined to only disappoint her.

"I will not set foot in the mundane world. Even if I go, I will hide my whereabouts. It is very boring."

The expected answer, Penglai Shan Huiye was slightly disappointed after hearing the words of the old man of the mountain, but he did not act willfully to try to change the other party's mind.

Penglai Shanhuiye knew very well that the persistence of this easy-going man in the past was always unexpectedly stubborn in some aspects, or it should be said that this was the principle he set for himself.

"Let's set off early tomorrow morning, and plan your own return date."

The old man of the mountain said, he took out a small bone whistle from the storage bag containing the krypton gold props from the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and threw it into the hands of Penglai Shanhuiye.

"If you encounter a danger that you can't handle, blow it, and I will feel it."

Penglai Shan Huiye looked carefully at the white bone whistle in his palm for a moment, but he didn't see any clues, nor did he feel any strong power fluctuations, but he hung it solemnly around his neck.

"Father, don't worry, I will pay attention to safety."

"But Father, you have to take good care of your health when you stay in the bamboo house alone. I don't worry about the rest. Anyway, even if there are monsters attacking, I can't beat you."

A few days later, under the leadership of Hida Ari, Hiju and Penglai Shanhui came to the foot of the city of Heianjing.

Feiju was wearing a samurai uniform, with a long sword hanging on her waist, and her cat ears and tail put away, looking quite heroic.

Horai Shan Kaguya was wearing a gorgeous kimono, with a white veil on his face, holding a paper umbrella, as if he was a young lady from a noble family traveling.

As for Baitian Ali, she was still dressed as a bachelor, and after she showed her identity as a sacrificial servant, the soldiers guarding the city gate happily let the three of them go.

Penglaishan Huiye ran through the city gate in a few steps, looked into the interior of Heianjing, and saw a large area of ​​densely packed buildings.

There are people coming and going on the street, although it can't reach the point of crowding shoulder to shoulder, but the flow of people is quite dense, and there are small vendors shouting and selling everywhere.

The noise in the tavern and restaurant is noisy, and people wearing all kinds of clothes are sitting in it, drinking and having fun, or meeting friends to talk about things, showing all kinds of things in the world.

Accustomed to the coldness of the Moon City, it was the first time for Horaishan Kaguya to come to such a noisy place. Although she felt unaccustomed to it for a while, she also faintly liked such a lively atmosphere.

Come to this store to ask about the price, go to that store to play with some small products, or buy some snacks you have never seen before to try.

The novelty made Penglaishan Kaguya happy, and seeing the lively girl like a bird out of the cage, even Feiju and Hida Ari enjoyed the joy of shopping together.

People walking on the street were very curious when they saw the group of three people, especially Penglai Mountain Huiye, who covered his face, was the focus of people's attention.

And the merchant who was lucky enough to have a few words with Hui Ye was almost intoxicated after hearing the girl's melodious and clear voice like an oriole.

Although Mount Penglai Huiye had already concealed his appearance, his innate noble and elegant temperament could not be concealed, causing pedestrians to discuss in low voices.

But after seeing Fei Ju holding a knife handle and Pai Tian A Li dressed as an official, for a while, no one dared to strike up a conversation and make friends.

Everyone can only guess like this: Maybe, it is the princess or eldest lady of the royal prince's family who went out to relax.

Going around all the way and visiting the busiest streets a few times, the tired Hida Ari pressed down on the high-spirited Penglai Mountain Kaguya.

"It's getting late, and there will be a long time to play in the future. The past few days have been exhausting, so let's stop today."

"That's right. After all, I have to trouble Sister Ah Li to be a tour guide in the days to come, so I can't be exhausted."

Penglai Shan Huiye covered his mouth with his hands and teased with a light smile, his eyes completed the crescent moon, quite playful.

"Master Ah Li is an ordinary person after all, so it is right to take a good rest."

Fei Ju has no objection to this. She has been in Ping'an Jing for hundreds of years and has long been familiar with it to the point where she can walk with her eyes closed.

If it wasn't for Master Suzuki Satoru's order, and she was really worried about Suzuki Zhu's safety, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Heianjing.

Seeing that Penglai Shanhuiye didn't play willful and petty temper, Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and then said the arrangement he had expected.

"Well, I'll take you to Fujiwara Bubiwai's mansion right now."

"My house is too small to accommodate so many people. I think Mr. Fujiwara, who has met Mr. Suzuki Satoru a few times, will not be stingy with a few rooms."

At the same time, Fujiwara Fuchu.

Fujiwara Bubiwai was pacing back and forth in front of the door of a room, his face looked very haggard, and there was anxiety and uneasiness between his brows.

He looked up at the door from time to time, as if he was waiting for something, but he was afraid that he would hear a disappointing result.

After another tea time, the door was pushed open from the inside, and a white-haired old man with a medicine box came out.

Seeing this, Fujiwara quickly stepped forward to meet him. Before he could ask, he saw the old man raised his hand to stop his words, and shook his head very slowly and heavily.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fujiwara. I'm sorry that I'm not good at studying medicine, but my wife is suffering from a terminal illness, and there is no cure!"

Chapter 1 Fujiwara Girl Red

"Is this, is there really no other way?"

Fujiwara couldn't wait to stare at the old man in front of him eagerly. He is the best medical person in the entire Heian capital, and he is an imperial doctor who specializes in treating the royal family.

"Master Fujiwara, this old man understands your current mood. But Mrs. Ling is really very ill, and the old man's meager medical skills will definitely not work."

"Hey, maybe in Tiantang on the other side of the sea, there might be a miracle doctor who can really rejuvenate, but now the far water can't save the near fire."

While stroking his snow-white beard with his hands, the old man shook his head and sighed, with a look of decadence on his face.

As a doctor who hangs his pot to save the world, but is unable to cure the patient lying in front of him, he may feel helpless, but more definitely he blames himself for his incompetence.

"Master Fujiwara, this old man has to go back and look up the ancient books to see if he can find anything useful. For the time being, Madam Ling's condition will be relieved by the previous prescription, and she must have hope until the last moment!"

Before Fujiwara could reply, the old man walked away in a hurry, even forgetting to take the consultation fee.

He may not be able to overcome the problem and cure the patient until the last moment, but it is also the doctors who have such tireless exploration and research that make more and more terminal diseases truly overcome.

"Thank you."

Fujiwara gave a deep salute to the old man's receding figure, then calmed down a little and stepped into the house, looking at the delicate figure lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt.

Due to the torture of the illness, the person on the bed's formerly white and rosy complexion had become as pale as tissue paper. Due to excessive weight loss, the skin seemed to be sticking to the facial bones, without any of the beauty it once had.

"Have you fallen asleep yet? Or, don't wake her up."

Fujiwara Bubiwai stopped his footsteps wanting to approach the bed, turned around and walked out of the house, closing the door gently by the way.

"Let's go and see how the decoction is done. If it's not too busy with political affairs, I should handle such things myself."

Fujiwara Bubiwai walked out of the small courtyard talking to himself, his eyes were a little red, and he couldn't accept the fact that his first wife might die at any time.

Husband and wife are in love for a day, not to mention that Fujiwara has spent more than ten years with his wife long ago.
