Retirement has to support a man [Comprehensive]

Xia was originally a fox who followed Daohe God. After leaving Gaotianyuan, he has been staying on this mountain. He holds a festival every few years. Over the years, he has collected a lot of treasures. At first he thought it was new. , In the end, there are fewer and fewer things that can make him feel fresh, so there are fewer and fewer monsters that can be rewarded by him.

This year he took out the treasures given to him by the God of Rice Hemorrhage. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid losing face in front of Lu Weiming, and on the other hand, he wanted to encourage everyone to come up with more interesting gifts.

The idea is very good. When the monsters heard that Xia was going to use that precious mirror as a gift, they all eagerly took out their own treasures, but Xia has seen so few things all these years?

He used all fist-sized pearls to play marbles.

What kind of century-old demon wine, if he has never drunk the wine sent by Lu Weiming, he might think it is a bit rare.

What kind of glowing iron block? Do you think he is an old antique who is out of touch with human beings?He often turns into a human and goes out to play, won't he recognize the iPad?Just kidding, he is using the Pear 10S, the Pear 8 is already out of date.

What kind of grass is like a goldfish? When he traveled all over the country with the God of Rice and Grass, what plants had he never seen?

I have never seen grass like a goldfish.

Xia stretched out his hand to poke the snapdragon, but missed, and was dodged by the goldfish. The competitive Xia squinted his eyes, and poked ten times at the snapdragon, because the speed was too fast. The grass couldn't escape, and was poked three or four times in a row.

The snapdragon shook its body unhappily, and the fish's mouth opened and closed, making piercing screams.

"Hahaha!" Xia Bian returned to his original form, laughing so hard that he wanted to roll while holding the flower pot of snapdragon grass. "Interesting, fun!"

While Xia was having fun holding the snapdragon grass, all the monsters in the festival center were anxiously waiting for the result, wondering who would get the precious mirror in the end.Just when everyone was discussing and guessing, the little fox boy appeared.

One is carrying a lantern and the other is holding a mirror.

"It's out, it's out!" Seeing the little fox boy appearing with a mirror, the monsters who knew it was about to announce the result made a noise for two seconds and then quickly quieted down, waiting for the announcement of the result.

"The gift rewarded by the adults this year is a snapdragon. Please come and claim the prize."

"What is snapdragon? I've never heard of it."

"Who is so lucky?"

When all the monsters were discussing, Natsume was shocked and silent for a while, and only when the little fox boy shouted again, he had no choice but to go forward to accept the award.

"It turned out to be a human being."

Amidst the shocked discussions of the monsters, Natsume took over the mirror.The little fox boy instructed when handing him the mirror. "This mirror is a treasure that can re-project the people or things you miss in your heart to the world. It can only be used three times. I hope you can make good use of it."

"But that snapdragon was just offered by me casually. I didn't intend to get any prizes. Can you take this mirror and return it to Lord Xia?" Natsume, who felt that he had picked up a hot potato, discussed with the little fox boy. I hope the other party can take back this gift.He had been with Natsume for a while, and the little fox boy didn't show any surprise to Natsume who didn't want the prize, and replied to Natsume without even asking for instructions.

"Master Xia likes that snapdragon plant very much. This prize was agreed at the beginning. Since it is given away, there is no reason to take it back. If it is given to you, it is given to you. It doesn't matter if you don't want to give it to others or even throw it away. , Lord Xia won’t care about it anyway.”

Hearing this, Natsume had no choice but to return to the spot with the mirror in hand. Seeing him come back with the prize, Lu Weiming and many Fusangshen present congratulated him.

"That pen, which is not a good thing at first glance, can be exchanged for this mirror in the end, Natsume, you made money." Teacher Cat leaned on Natsume's shoulder, and looked at the mirror with him. "The fox has always been stingy before. Now that the thing is yours, it is mine after rounding it up. Let me use it first to see if it is really so amazing."

As he said that, Mr. Cat pounced on Natsume's hand, trying to snatch the mirror away.Natsume raised his hand, causing Mr. Cat to fall to the ground and miss it.

"I can't have this mirror." Natsume said so, and handed the mirror to Lu Weiming.

"Is this for me?" Lu Weiming didn't answer, but asked with a smile. "Why did you give me the mirror? You are the one who offered the snapdragon."

"The snapdragon grass was given to me by you, Lu Sang. Although you said it was a thank you gift in exchange for that pen, in fact I didn't help you at all. It has been thanks to you for the past two days. He took good care of me and didn't hurt me a bit. So you should accept this mirror." Natsume said that he was afraid that Lu Weiming would refuse, and continued to explain why he didn't want this mirror. "And such a treasure, even if I hold it, it's hard to protect it. Why don't I give it to you directly, so as to save myself from being attacked by monsters who want to snatch the treasure all day long."

Because the friend's account is visited by monsters all day long, Natsume, who can't take care of himself just to return the name, has to deal with those monsters who want to snatch the friend's account with evil intentions. If this mirror is added, Natsume feels that he will soon be unable to live.

"And Lu Sang should have something he misses very much. You should need this mirror."

"You've already said that, and it will be a bit artificial if I refuse you again." Without embarrassing Natsume any more, Lu Weiming smiled and went to pick up the mirror. The moment her finger touched the mirror, the dazzling golden light suddenly It projected from the mirror and landed on the open space next to it.

It was a wide and grand square, with solemnly dressed guests sitting on both sides.The girls in red dance clothes came gracefully, with their sleeves fluttering like bright butterflies.The sound of the bell seemed to come from the sky, like a signal, the musicians began to play music, and the girls began to dance. As the music changed from light to thick, the gentle movements of the girls became more and more cheerful. The sleeve skirt is like a flower slowly blooming.

This seems to be a celebration, but it also seems to be a farewell.They were all laughing and dancing, the laughter was joy from the heart, but the tears in their eyes could be vaguely seen.

At first they focused on their dancing, on the instruments in their hands, and on this celebration, but gradually everyone looked in the same direction.

When the last drumbeat fell and the dance ended, the girls did not back down, but knelt down towards the direction they had been looking at at the same time as if they had exhausted all their strength. The musician put down the instrument in his hand, and the guests also Get out of your seat.All face in one direction to complete the last and most pious worship of their lives.

Natsume subconsciously looked in the direction of their kneeling, and suddenly realized that Lu Weiming, who was standing beside him, had some distance between him and him at some point.

The girl in red turned into a young woman in black crown.

She seemed to be looking down on all living beings and took off the crown of power on her head with a smile.

There was the sound of glass being broken, and with the shattering of the mirror in Natsume's hand, the magnificent square, those kneeling people, and that tall woman all disappeared.

As if in a dream, watching the shattered mirror in his hand turn into golden powder and dissipate in the night wind, Natsume raised his head and found that all the fusangshen beside Lu Weiming were also dazed.

This shows that he is not the only one who saw the previous picture.

But at the same time, the monsters still bustling around showed that they were not affected.

"Hey, I really didn't expect that I could see the scene of that day again. I really miss it." Lu Weiming's words brought Fu Sangshen and Natsume who were affected by the illusion just now back to reality.

"Is it the master's previous appearance just now?" Tsurumaru recalled the scene just now, and patted his chest as if his heart was beating wildly. "It really terrified me."

"The master used to be..."

The Fu Sangshen who had served the royal family were a little silent. The information brought by the picture just now was a bit huge, which made it difficult for them to accept for a while, but they were not surprised when they thought that the protagonist was Lu Weiming.

"Well, just now was the abdication ceremony when I was the emperor on the last day. Speaking of it, I really miss it. After all, when I was the emperor, I could let so many beautiful young ladies dance for me." Speaking of In the past, Lu Weiming's tone was very relaxed and indifferent, although the content of the words was not relaxed at all.

The owner used to be an emperor!By the way, isn't the emperor tenure for life?Why did you abdicate?It doesn't look like he was forced to retreat. With the personality of the master, could it be that he didn't want to work so he abdicated to become the Supreme Emperor?

"The master looked quite young at that time, why did he abdicate?" San Riyue thought a little too much. Women have been discriminated against since ancient times. Looking at the courtiers in the picture just now, they still worship the master loyally. Forced to abdicate.

Thinking that Lu Weiming might have been wronged at that time, San Riyue wanted to be angry.

"Ah? Young? I just look young. At that time, I had been working in that position year-round for decades. If I didn't retire, I was afraid that I would really die in that position. I don’t want someone to take the fruits of my victory effortlessly, and at that time I was so angry that it was useless to overturn the coffin lid.” Thinking of the past because of impulsive brain flooding, I was locked in the emperor’s seat for several times. After ten years of no progress in martial arts, if Shengsheng extended his retirement age for such a long time, it would be uncomfortable for Lu Weiming.

"Then did the master abdicate to become the Supreme Emperor?" the little knives asked curiously. "Is the successor a child of the master at that time? Does that mean we actually have a young master?"

"The Supreme Emperor didn't do it, and he didn't have any children." Lu Weiming said that he had never been married, and children didn't exist at all.

"Then the master must have cultivated an excellent heir." San Riyue looked at Lu Weiming with very trusting eyes. "With the ability of the master, it should be very simple to cultivate a qualified heir."

Like Sanriyue, according to Lu Weiming's character, all Fu Sangshen could think of was that Lu Weiming had trained an heir as soon as possible in order to retire early, and then he abdicated happily.

But it was clear that they still didn't know their master well enough.

"Just kidding." As if mocking the stupidity and naivety of Fusangshen, Lu Weiming chuckled. "My things, who can inherit them."

After the gift was over, the busiest part of the festival was over. There were some unscrupulous monsters who thought that Natsume was a human being and wanted to stare at him looking for opportunities to snatch the treasure, but when they saw Natsume handing the mirror to Lu Weiming, they also I stopped thinking about it.

The shock of Lu Weiming's appearance is still vivid in his memory, it's not like they were sent up to chop vegetables for the Fusangshen.

Some monsters left, while others remained at the ceremony. Lu Weiming patted his hands lightly to bring everyone back to their senses.

"That mirror is really interesting, but it's not durable. It was promised to be used three times, but it was gone after one use." Seeing that everyone was still staring at her blankly, Lu Weiming smiled helplessly. "What are you all looking at me for? Go shopping on your own, and let's make an appointment to go back together later."

As he said that, Lu Weiming raised his foot and walked towards the booth in the festival, followed by the still curious little knives.

"My lord has been an emperor, so she was also a princess before."

There have also been cases of women inheriting the throne in Japan, so they don't think there is anything wrong with Lu Weiming being the emperor, but they are just curious about what Lu Weiming looked like when he was a princess before.

"Oh, where did I ever become a princess? I used to be a gangster." Lu Weiming said that her background is not that noble. When the princess was in the palace, she was still chased by the second senior brother in the school. running.

"Then how did you become emperor?" Unlike China, where dynasties have changed for hundreds of years, in Japan, the succession of the emperor has never been cut off. Although the center of power is shifting back and forth, the throne It's basically in line.

"Well, at first, I was just a little upset. I felt that the things around me were not pleasing to the eye. I wanted to make them more pleasing to the eye. As a result, the more places I went to, the more unpleasant things became. I just changed it slowly. Then suddenly one day I will become the emperor." Lu Weiming sighed as he spoke, with a bit of surprise in his tone, as if he hadn't expected such a result at all. "Actually, I have only one goal from beginning to end."

"I only wish that everything I see is safe and peaceful."

At that time, I was too young to know that some things are easy to think but too difficult to do.

"Eliminate disasters and purify the body and mind."

Yubi slapped Natsume's body, and it felt quite comfortable with a gentle force.Natsume closed her eyes quietly, listening to Ishikimaru chanting the mantra softly.

The restlessness of the past, the fear entangled in the nightmares of the past, and the entanglements that linger in the heart have all disappeared. All I can feel are the fragrance of flowers, the singing of birds, and the gurgling of running water.

At the end of the ceremony, there was a breeze caressing everything, and Natsume opened his eyes at that moment, only thinking that the world was beautiful.

"Dharma rituals can keep people's body and mind clean and free from darkness, but this is only temporary. If you come into frequent contact with monsters in the future, you will inevitably be affected." Seeing that Natsume is different, Ishikimaru kindly warned him.

"I see." Natsume thanked Ishikirimaru again.

After all, human beings are different from monsters. Natsume is not surprised that contact with monsters will affect him. It’s just that he can’t get rid of the world of monsters since he was a child. got used to.

This world is too lonely, and his ties in the world are shallow. The account of friends left by Reiko is the only connection that can be traced, and it is also his longing and attachment to kinship.

"Good morning." Lu Weiming walked into the courtyard from the corridor, looked at Natsume and Ishikimaru standing in the middle, and greeted them with a smile. "I'm doing something."

Natsume also asked Lu Weiming early. "Yeah, thanks to Mr. Ishikiri, I feel fine now."

"Well, it's quite interesting, mind if I come too?"

Hearing Lu Weiming's words, Natsume thought at first that she also wanted Mr. Ishikiri to do things for her, but the strange thing was that she was looking at herself when she said this.Mr. Ishikiri on the side didn't speak, and everyone stared at him. Natsume couldn't understand why he was looking at him, but he still responded subconsciously. "Well, of course I don't mind."

Hearing Natsume's answer, Lu Weiming slowly walked in front of him on the bluestone path.She put her hand on his head, looking at him very gently.

At this moment, Lu Weiming is no longer a young girl but the woman in the black crown dress from yesterday. She looks at Natsume as if she is looking at her favorite child.

"May your life be safe and joyful, and that everything you see is complete."

When Natsume whose head was suddenly touched hadn't realized what was going on, he was taken aback when he heard this blessing, and then his eyes widened in shock at what he saw next.

There was a golden halo around Lu Weiming, and iridescent light clusters appeared in the surrounding air. These light clusters rushed into Natsume's body. Natsume raised his hand and found that he seemed to be shining, and the light became more and more intense. Bright, until finally Natsume couldn't see his hand, only the boundless light in front of his eyes.

Just when he thought he had merged with the light, he suddenly saw his hand again.

He lowered his head in surprise, and found that the body that had disappeared had also returned to its original form. When he looked up again, Guanghai disappeared, and what came into view was the elegant courtyard and Lu Weiming's full of smile.

"Oh, I thought my profession, if blessed, would be inferior to those gods of good fortune."

"You are too modest." Ishikirimaru, who had witnessed everything, replied. "Your favor is more precious than any blessing."

The favor of the Lord Taishan, who is in charge of the soul of Fushou, has been rare in the world since ancient times.

There were so many people who were deprived of their blessings and longevity in this accident, only one Natsume Takashi could get his mercy, and he returned his blessings and longevity to Zhao, not to mention a lot of extra gifts.

Lu Weiming’s congratulations just now were not nonsense. As the Lord Taishan, she bestowed on Natsume Takashi a fortune that ordinary people can’t match. Affected by it, life will be complete, that is, in response to the oracle of "joy in life, and completeness in what you see".

"Natsume, I'm hungry, go and give it to me... Meow!" The cat teacher who woke up leisurely jumped into the courtyard to look for Natsume to ask for food. The moment he saw Natsume, a shrill meow resounded through the entire courtyard .Teacher Cat covered his eyes and rolled on the ground. "What is it, it's so bright, I'm going blind!"

"Damn three three!" Seeing that Mr. Cat didn't seem to be pretending, Natsume quickly squatted down and asked. "What's wrong with you, is there something wrong?"

Hearing Natsume's voice, Mr. Cat stopped rolling, and hesitantly let go of the cat's paw covering his eyes. Seeing that Natsume was looking at him worriedly, the light that could blind youkai just now has disappeared. Only then did Mr. Cat completely let go of his paws, and asked Natsume Xingshi with his hips on his hips. "What happened to you just now, why is it suddenly brighter than a light bulb."

"Hey, just now..." When Natsume was about to speak, Lu Weiming walked over and picked up Teacher Cat. "Oh, the little cat is hungry, let's go have breakfast."

When Teacher Mao was held in Lu Weiming's arms, he didn't dare to say a word, so the topic was interrupted.

"Speaking of which, you gave me the mirror yesterday, and I haven't thanked you yet." It seemed that he suddenly remembered that Natsume gave him the mirror yesterday, and Lu Weiming mentioned that he would return the gift to Natsume.

"No, no, no, Lu Sang, you've helped me so much. That's a thank you gift, so you don't have to pay it back." And remembering the battle just now, Xia Mu couldn't help swallowing, although she didn't know what happened, But I always feel that if I am too greedy, I will be struck by lightning.

"One yard is one yard, and I'm helping you because I need your help." Lu Weiming told Natsume not to refuse. "And it's a gift in return. I didn't really give it to you. Let's count it as a loan to you for a lifetime."

Lu Weiming waved his sleeves, and a sword appeared in her hand. Before Natsume could see the shape of the sword, the sword slammed straight at him, and it was too late to block him. Natsume could only close his eyes and wait. Accept the pain of being hit.

After two or three seconds, Natsume, who didn't feel anything, opened his eyes, and found that it was just like his own illusion, and there was no shadow of any sword around.

Lu Weiming patted Xia Mu on the shoulder. "Let's go, don't you have to catch the bus to go home after dinner, and we will continue to travel in a while."

Life is like a running brook, no matter how beautiful the passing scenery is, there is no chance to meet again.

After being sent to the station and on the bus home, Natsume couldn't help sighing when he saw Lu Weiming waving goodbye to him outside and all the Fusangshen who were smiling at him.

After meeting in just three days, Natsume felt that it had been a long time, and he felt reluctance and regret.

"So is Lu Sang a human?"

After asking this question, Natsume smiled to himself without waiting for anyone's answer. He thought he didn't need to answer anymore.

The encounter was beautiful and short, even if we never meet again in this life, he will remember it in his heart until he bids farewell to this world.

The car moved slowly, gradually widening the distance between them. Just when Natsume was ready to say goodbye, Lu Weiming suddenly yelled at him. "By the way, Natsume, I forgot to tell you. I'm going to be a freshman in high school after the holidays. I'm in Tokyo's Hyotei Academy and come and play with me when I have time!"

A parting melancholy was stuck in her heart, unable to get up or down, Natsume who was choked uncomfortably just wanted to open the window and yell at Lu Weiming.

"Are you still human?"

The author has something to say:

Lu Weiming: I am still a human being.

Natsume: I can't believe it.
