[Comprehensive] The white lotus in the dark Honmaru

Many years after the fox demon left, the temple welcomes visitors again.It was a bright spring day, and Yue Qingli was sitting under the cold spring in a plain robe.I don't know how long the cold spring has been flowing, and the gurgling water exudes coolness surrounding Yue Qingli, hazy like a scene in a fairyland.Suddenly hearing the bell ringing outside the door, Yue Qingli opened his closed eyes.

In front of the temple gate, there are stone steps leading up to the front desk. Because of the invasion of the years, the gaps are covered with moss, and it is quite difficult to walk, so I have never seen a stranger for a long time.He changed the plain robe on his body, and after rearranging his clothes, he walked out the door.

Standing in front of the temple gate is a young man like the wind and the moon, with a gentle and low-key temperament like a flower at night.Seeing Yue Qingli, he first smiled softly, then took a step forward and said, "I was entrusted by an old friend to say goodbye to you."

"Old man?" Yue Qingli almost immediately thought of the fox demon, and he slightly turned sideways to welcome the young man in, "Please come in first."

The two sat opposite each other in the front hall, Yue Qingli filled the cup of tea and handed it to the young man, "Please use it, I don't know what I should call you."

The young man took the teacup, "My name is Seimei Abe, just call me Seimei."

Yue Qingli knelt and sat opposite him, and asked directly, "The old man you're talking about is the fox demon?"

"Yes and no."

"Oh?"

Qingming picked up the teacup and took a sip, "The fox demon is actually my mother's friend. He asked my mother to say goodbye to you many years ago, but because of some things my mother missed the appointment, so I came here to fulfill the old friend's request." , and secondly, I would like to apologize to you."

"Fox demon...how is he now?" Yue Qingli hadn't thought of him for a long time, but not wanting to think of him didn't mean he didn't care.

"He...he's missing now."

"What happened after he left back then?" Yue Qingli couldn't help tightening his hand, although he had restrained himself, his expression showed a trace of worry.

"Back then, he entrusted the child to my mother and left alone, but he never thought that the child would be discovered by the exorcist, and then..."

Yue Qingli's heart skipped a beat, and his face suddenly turned pale, "Then what?"

"The two children were captured by the demon master. It was too late by the time the fox demon drove away, so he set fire to the capital in a fit of anger."

"He... how dare he?" Yue Qingli couldn't continue.

"He has been missing since then."

"Thank you...thank you for telling me this."

If the death of Sakurako made Yue Qingli unacceptable, then what happened next made Yue Qingli despair.Probably Qingming also saw that Yue Qingli was really hard to accept, so he often came to the temple to accompany Yue Qingli, sometimes he came alone, sometimes he brought others with him.

Yue Qingli was very surprised when he saw Huang for the first time, because he was one of the rare people who was indifferent to Yue Qingli. In fact, it would not be accurate to say that he was indifferent, because he was too taciturn.

"I only have tea here, do you want to have a taste?"

"Ah."

"Would you like to play chess with me? I will take the white pieces and you will take the black pieces."

"it is good."

"Did you like this Duo Hua? He looks like he's going to die."

"do not like."

Qingming also explained, "He is usually so reticent to me, so don't worry about it. In fact, he can already be called warm to you. Usually, other people don't necessarily say a word when they say ten words."

Yue Qingli smiled, "Is that so, I thought I was hated."

"No." Huang who suddenly appeared denied.

One day, when Yue Qingli was grinding stones together with Huang, he suddenly said, "By the way, Huang, you and Qingming came to visit me recently, and the black and white boy who said he would bring me things seems to have not come for a long time. I don't know if you forgot about me."

Huang, who was picking up stones, froze for a moment, and while handing the stones in his hand to Yue Qingli, he said, "No, actually... I offered to come."

"Well, then I'm very happy."

"Ok?"

"I'm glad you are willing to get along with me and don't think I'm a boring person."

Yue Qingli looked at the stone in his hand, it was smooth and round, and the center was almost transparent, and he could vaguely see a trace of light powder flowing inside it in the sun, he turned his head to look at Huang and said with a smile, "This stone is so beautiful, I love it." Just change it into a necklace and give it to you as a gift when the time comes."

"Thank you." Huang felt very flattered.

That piece of stone had been polished for a long time, if not for that accident, it might have been given to Huang by now.

At that time, the fox demon who had disappeared for many years suddenly appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he disrupted time and rewrote history.Yue Qingli finally left the temple and started down the mountain to find a solution.
