Ye Sha set off again towards Danbo Country.
This time, he had a weapon that suited him, the Blade Yasutsuna.
He's heard of Doujigiri Yasutsuna before, it was the new name of this blade after it killed Shutendoji.
So on the way, he studied the essence of this blade. Of course, he couldn't tell anything, he even felt that this blade wasn't as good as the watermelon knife he used back then.
On the way, Ye Sha asked Mo Qiong: "What do you mean by Abe no Seimei is a master of operations?"
"Rumor has it that demons and gods often visit him, that should be true. When you mentioned Shutendoji outside his house, he immediately knew that you were one of them, so he already prepared a banquet and wine inside, and ordered his servants to stand on both sides with weapons, using both soft and hard tactics, I think this isn't the first time he's done this" Mo Qiong said.
Ye Sha said: "He said that his magic power was low, and that he relied on his identity as the son of the white fox to make the demons and gods give him face. Hearing that demons and gods were visiting him, so he treated them with respect, that's reasonable, it's probably the basic behavior of someone who's been in the circle of demons and gods for a long time "
"After that, he raised my status and gave me face, no wonder all the demons and gods are willing to be on good terms with him"
Mo Qiong smiled: "That's where he's amazing … I seriously suspect that all the demons and gods that terrorize the capital were raised by him like that"
"So Shutendoji is just a small demon, with only a little power, he was exaggerated to be a powerful demon? That's not right, didn't they say that even an army of tens of thousands couldn't do anything to him? "Ye Sha said.
Mo Qiong pondered: "There aren't even an army of tens of thousands in the entire region, ask Watanabe no Tsuyoshi, why did they fail to kill Shutendoji?"
Ye Sha looked at Watanabe no Tsuyoshi with a bitter expression, as well as Watanabe no Tsuyoshi's retainers and warriors.
This time, they were very high-profile, using the banners of the Supreme General and the Emperor to openly suppress Shutendoji.
Although they were powerful, including the four retainers and You, there were only 12 of them.
If even an army of tens of thousands couldn't do anything to Shutendoji, how could 12 people do it? If Ye Sha was really the descendant of some Inari no Ōkami, that would make sense, but he wasn't, wasn't this just a gift?
"Watanabe, why did you send an army of tens of thousands to kill Shutendoji back then fail? Is he really that powerful to be able to defeat tens of thousands of you? "Ye Sha asked.
Watanabe Tsuna found that Ye Sha didn't need to be polite. He wanted to correct him, but it seemed that because Abe had said something to him, he was very respectful to Ye Sha, so he didn't care about Ye Sha's impolite question.
"Mountain God Shrine. Back then, the Grand General had sent Sakata Kinshi to fight Shutendoji. Sakata Kinshi possessed boundless strength and wielded a giant axe to slay ghosts and demons. He was the God of the Five Directions and Five Earths, Kintaro. Shutendoji was also wary of him and didn't dare to confront him directly. Unfortunately, Kintaro's personality was too straightforward. After he entered the depths of the Danbo Mountains, Shutendoji released poisonous miasma, ghost springs, demonic flames, and rolling rocks. He even moved mountains and changed the terrain to imprison the army. In the end, Kintaro remembered White Fox Duke's request and prayed for the River God's guidance. Only then did he manage to escape. "Watanabe Tsuna explained.
Ye Sha was speechless. So there was a god under the general's command?
Kintaro had brought tens of thousands of people with him. Yet, Shutendoji had cast a spell to trap them in the mountain. Poison Miasma Demonic Flame was one thing, but shifting the mountain peak and changing the terrain was far too formidable.
As expected of a great demon. So this was how tens of thousands of people were defeated.
"Wait a moment. Luojing has tens of thousands of people?" Ye Sha asked.
Watanabe Tsuna was startled. He said vaguely, "Yes, there are tens of thousands of troops …"
Ye Sha said, "Don't lie to me. It wouldn't be good if I misjudged Shutendoji's strength and caused our crusade to fail."
Watanabe Tsuna looked at Ye Sha and recalled what Abe Seimei had said about Ye Sha's mystical abilities. He said, "Mountain God Shrine, to tell you the truth, it's not tens of thousands. It's only close to tens of thousands."
"Oh, that's right. Usually, you have to exaggerate. If you say it's tens of thousands, then how many people do you have?" Ye Sha asked.
Watanabe Tsuna said, "945 people."
"What the hell?" Ye Sha almost choked.
"Isn't this' close to tens' a little too far?"
Ye Sha was speechless. Nine hundred people? Close to tens of thousands?
Watanabe Tsuna didn't think there was a problem at all. He said, "Mountain God Shrine, you might not know this, but according to convention, a thousand people is equivalent to tens of thousands of troops."
"But you don't have a thousand people!" Ye Sha said.
Watanabe Tsuna felt like he was looking at a math idiot. He looked at Ye Sha and said matter-of-factly, "That's why I said close to tens of thousands. 945 people, isn't that close to a thousand? "
Ye Sha thought to himself, "You're saying that I'm bad at math?"
Soon, he figured out how it was calculated. First of all, the first basic axiom was that more than a thousand people had to be called tens of thousands. This was the convention.
The second basic axiom was that the number of people had to be rounded up to the point where it couldn't be rounded up again.
Here, another concept was introduced, "close to tens of thousands" and "colloquial ellipsis."
Thus, 945 people were rounded up to 950 people, and then rounded up to 1,000 people.
Combined with the first axiom, 1,000 people were equal to tens of thousands. So, close to 1,000 people was close to tens of thousands.
Because the word "close to tens of thousands" could be omitted for convenience, in informal situations, it could be directly called tens of thousands of troops.
A math genius!
He understood that "tens of thousands" was a constant here. No, to be precise, it was a "defined value."
It was very normal for a thousand to be called tens of thousands. There was only one thing that Watanabe Tsuna hid before, and that was to omit "close to tens of thousands." In formal situations, such as when reporting to the emperor, this "close to tens of thousands" could never be omitted. It could only be omitted during normal times.
In addition, it was a very formal way of saying that a thousand was tens of thousands. It couldn't be thirty thousand or fifty thousand. It had to be tens of thousands. This was a defined value.
If there were thirty thousand people, it would be hundreds of thousands. Only when there were one thousand to nine thousand people could the term "tens of thousands" be used.
Then, Ye Sha asked curiously, "What if there are only nine hundred people? Can it be close to a thousand? "
Watanabe Tsuna said with a look of disdain, "How can this be? Nine hundred can't be a thousand! "
Ye Sha asked curiously, "The difference between nine hundred people and 945 people is not big, but one of them is close to tens of thousands. What's the other one called?"
Watanabe Tsuna blurted out, "Less than tens of thousands."
"!!!" Ye Sha was shocked. Sure enough, tens of thousands was a fixed word.
"I'm in Buddha. Leader, are all Fusang people so magnanimous?" Ye Sha asked.
Mo Qiong said, "It'll be fine in the future. It's just that in this era, there aren't many people in Fusang. Other than the nearby regions, the other places are all ghost lands. They just passed on some cultural knowledge from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, emphasizing that all sides should look up to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty has tens of thousands of people, and some written and spoken words have been passed on. But the problem is that the Emperor doesn't have that many people. That's why they have this custom. After all, it's not right for the Emperor to send an army of 945 people to conquer someone. "
"It'll take another two to three hundred years for them to digest iron smelting and agriculture. After a round of population explosion, this custom will disappear. After all, it's only been a few hundred years since they left the Stone Age. You can't expect them to be able to mobilize tens of thousands of people. Especially now that the Ping An Imperial Court has completely decayed and is in a period of cultural comfort. "
Ye Sha nodded. Although the so-called tens of thousands of people couldn't do anything to Shutendoji was too exaggerated.
But it was an indisputable fact that Shutendoji had defeated nine hundred people. If they went with just twelve people, they would still be courting death.
But they still had to go. Ye Sha was going because of Mo Qiong's orders, while Watanabe Tsuyoshi was going because of the Great General's orders.
Along the way, Watanabe Tsuyoshi was initially very worried, but after seeing Ye Sha's ability to make food out of thin air and the motorized tricycle, he was greatly shaken and regained his confidence.
In addition, perhaps because they were too ostentatious, there were always commoners along the way who heard that the Great General had sent Watanabe Tsuyoshi and the White Fox Duke to invite the Mountain God White Yaksha to suppress Shutendoji. They all took out their own food and wine to entertain them.
For a moment, the small subjugation team was quite pleased with themselves.
You was also very proud. Ever since she met the Great General, she felt like she was about to float. She would often accept the farewell gifts from the villagers and spread the name and deeds of White Yaksha.
On this day, in a mountain village in Danbo Country, because there was no road ahead and he didn't know where Shutendoji was, Watanabe Tsuyoshi went to find the local leader to be his guide.
Ye Sha was sitting on a rock, eating the food that Mo Qiong had delivered across time and space.
Suddenly, a woman with skin whiter than snow, wearing a clean and clean commoner's dress, walked over.
She held a pot of wine in front of Ye Sha with a look of worship.
Ye Sha ate half of the chicken leg and was stunned. This woman was too beautiful.
Long black hair, snow-white skin, and stunning facial features that he had never seen since he transmigrated. Ye Sha was instantly stunned.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! Why is she so beautiful! "
If this woman was in the 21st century, she would score 80 points. Here, she directly scored full marks!
Because the contrast was too strong! During this period of time, he was already a sow, let alone a real Diao Chan.
The women he had seen in the past were either dry and shriveled, short limbs, dark skin, small eyes, and fangs. In short, they all had very obvious flaws. At this moment, when he suddenly saw such a well-proportioned woman with exquisite facial features, outstanding looks, and a slender figure, Ye Sha was immediately attracted.
Compared to this woman, You was simply a bag of dregs.
"Mountain God Hall … Are you Mountain God Hall?" The woman's voice was as clear as a mountain spring.
"Yes, yes, yes …" Ye Sha said.
The woman suddenly said with a look of worship, "My father said that you are a great god, and want to crusade … crusade against that big demon. He asked me to bring you wine … and … and to serve you …"
"Good, good, good … What? Serve? "Ye Sha took a deep breath. Good! This is good! The mountain people are simple! Your father is very sensible!
Ye Sha excitedly walked forward and held the beauty's hand. It felt very smooth and soft.
The woman lowered her head and shyly pulled out a hand.
Suddenly, Ah You shouted and rushed over, "Mountain God Hall, she's a monster!"
Ye Sha was shocked and quickly let go. He saw the woman looked at You innocently and puzzledly.
"How do you know she is a demon?" Ye Sha asked.
You pulled Ye Sha and fiercely stared at the beauty and said, "She is so beautiful that she doesn't look human! How can a human be so beautiful, she must be a demon! "
"…" Ye Sha was stunned. Seeing the jealousy in You's eyes, he knew that this beauty was threatening You's position.
He immediately scolded, "Bastard! Don't slander people's innocence. You are ugly but you don't allow others to be beautiful? "
You was scolded by Ye Sha and did not dare to talk back. She held Ye Sha's arm and looked at Ye Sha with pleading eyes, hoping that he would not say that in front of so many people.
