The whole world knows that I crossed

Just as Qiao Wen and Kikyo walked side by side toward the "sanctuary" deep in Bailing Mountain.

In the live broadcast room that Qiao Wen had no time to check.

The barrage is almost going to be maxed out again——

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"God, I'm really crying! Kikyo is really good QAQAQ"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"That's right! Qiao Xiaoer is right! This is not the fault of Kikyo and Inuyasha! If there is no Naraku, they are simply a model of a fairy lover! One who gave up for you to become a real monster and become more Forcing no one to dare to bully my ideal of life, to give up the title of being the most powerful witch for you, to give up such a precious treasure as the Jade of the Four Souls, and choose to become the most ordinary woman to stay with you for the rest of my life... How about this? What kind of beautiful love?!"

"Wow, let's not talk about the previous ones. I almost cried like a fool on the subway. The people next to me are looking at me with strange eyes, TUT"

"Crying like a fool +1, I found out, since I followed Qiao Xiaoer and watched his live broadcast, my tears are really worthless ┭┮﹏┭┮"

"I don't cry! Why are you crying! I just want to say one thing right now - Naraku must die!"

"Damn! Yes! Naraku must die!"

"Naraku must die!"

"Naraku must die +1!"

"Naraku must die + ID number!!"

……

……

The barrage is simply exciting.

If it is said that when Naraku debuted for the first time, everyone could laugh and make some jokes and wisecracks, and the Yan Control Party, who only loves his face, would occasionally say something like "pure passerby, say something, indeed, I can do it with Naraku's face." "But now, listening to Kikyo's previous confession, listening to Qiao Wen's firm rebuttals and explanations, watching Kikyo's last smile...

No more jokes or memes.

Because the other side of the live broadcast screen is not a certain "story" they are familiar with.

It was a world in which people who were familiar and unfamiliar to them actually lived, a world not dissimilar from the one they lived in, another real world.

Although everyone has such a recognition for a long time, there has never been a moment when they have been so deeply aware of this fact, and have been so shocked and shocked like never before.

"Maybe it's because what Qiao Xiaoer showed us, as he said before, is always the positive, positive, and beautiful side of the world..."

Such an exclamation floated across the barrage.

And it is precisely because what they see are those warm and beautiful things, although the audience will also be shocked by it and feel the magic and magnificence of another world, but it is far less than some sad, negative, and disturbing things. Sighing... It's more likely to trigger people's deeper thinking.

The barrage gradually fell silent.

And Qiao Wenwen and Kikyo also went through a trek that was not particularly smooth, but it was much smoother than Inuyasha and his party in the original book. They went deep into the hinterland of Bailing Mountain, and finally found themselves on a narrow gravel road on the edge of a steep cliff. Paused the footsteps.

At the end of the gravel road is the entrance of a cave about one and a half people high. However, not far from the cave, the gravel passage was cut off for a section, and it looked as if it was cut off by some kind of sharp weapon. generally……

Qiao Wen stood on the edge of the cut-off road and carefully observed the distance between the two ends of the cut-off passage.

If you use the Flying Card, you should be able to leap over it easily.

He turned his head to ask for Kikyo's opinion, but he saw that the face of the witch has changed significantly compared to when she first entered the mountain. The jade cheeks that were just slightly lacking in blood have now turned into snow-like cheeks. Pale, even the lips have lost a lot of vermilion, showing a sickly paleness...

"Kidkyo...? How are you? Can you hold on?"

Qiao Wen looked at the witch beside him with some concern.

Although the Card of Violence can keep her in the physical state before entering the mountain, and she can move freely in the enchantment full of clean aura in Bailing Mountain, but Kikyo's body is unavoidably continuously attacked by the overly rich aura in the mountain. The pain she felt during this process was unavoidable.

It can be said that every time Kikyo takes a step forward in Bailing Mountain, he has to endure more pain than before...

The witch's face was pale, and her forehead was already covered with cold sweat, but her expression was always calm but firm.

"I'm fine, let's move on."

she says.

Qiao Wen knew that it was impossible to persuade Kikyo to give up the action halfway and exit the barrier on his own, so he smiled helplessly, summoned the card of Xiang, and asked it to send the two of them through the broken passage one by one.

Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking into it, the deep inner space seems to be bottomless. Due to the angle of the cave, the sunlight from the outside can hardly shine into it, so you can't see the details inside at all, you can only feel it. From time to time, a certain kind of gloomy aura escapes from the cave, blowing a burst of cold wind that makes one's heart chill...

Kikyo stood at the entrance of the cave, leaning over to observe for a moment, with a slightly dignified expression.

"Although the breath is very weak, it can't be wrong. There is evil hidden in the depths of this cave..."

She turned to Qiao Wen and said.

"So it's possible that the body of Sweetheart Baixin was enshrined in the depths of this cave by the villagers back then?"

Qiao Wen quickly reacted.

Kikyo nodded.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time, they walked into the cave together.

As expected, the cave was extremely dark and gloomy. The two walked a certain distance to the depths, away from the cave entrance where faint light penetrated, and the inside of the cave gradually became invisible.

Qiao Wen originally wanted to summon the card of light, but under Kikyo's opinion that "this may scare the snake", he simply took out two solar flashlights from the "Night Hat" space, one with Kikyo, and finally illuminated the place in front of him. A dark space.

This is a very ordinary-looking rock cave, but the space inside the cave is narrow and deep, and it seems to extend a deep and narrow passage toward the interior of the mountain.

Qiao Wen and Kikyo exchanged a look.

He only uttered a few low and inaudible syllables with his breath, and then he took the lead in walking towards the depths of the cave.

After walking through a long and narrow passage, an "exit" similar to another hole appeared ahead.

When Qiao Wenwen and Kikyo stepped out of the cave, they found themselves in the inside of Bailing Mountain——the inside of Bailing Mountain where the mountain has been completely hollowed out!

Along the mountain wall, there are several layers of fenced vertically surrounded by circular corridors that seem to be obviously man-made.

Up to the top of the mountain, down to the deep underground.

Qiao Wen and Kikyo looked around, and they both clearly noticed something——

"This can't possibly be the corridor built by the villagers who sent Master Baixin into the mountain?"

Qiao Wen said.

Kikyo nodded, "I'm afraid we are right this time. Sweetheart Baixin is trapped in his body and cannot move, and it is impossible to build such a passage..."

So who is the person who hollowed out the mountain and built the corridor? Do you need to guess?

Qiao Wenwen and Kikyo didn't hesitate any longer, and walked all the way towards the most holy direction in the corridor.

That's the way to the top of the mountain.

The two walked silently on this narrow and empty passage.

The farther you go forward, the more clean spiritual power is in the air. Qiao Wen himself is not sensitive to this kind of breath, but he can detect the increase in the concentration of spiritual power from Kikyo's slower and slower footsteps. Variety.

It felt that Kikyo's pace was getting slower and slower, and it was almost impossible to move forward in the end. Qiao Wen just wanted to suggest that he could ask his own power card to help Kikyo for the next journey, but found that the scenery in front of him suddenly changed!

The hollowed out interior of the mountain and the surrounding corridors disappeared.

What appeared in front of Qiao Wenwen and Kikyo was a wooden corridor, a majestic hall, and... a lotus platform not far away, as if they were in a temple.

On the lotus platform, sitting cross-legged, was an elderly monk in purple robes and yellow cassock...

"Who... who broke into my 'sanctuary'..."

A hoarse, dry voice came from the monk's weathered and withered mouth.

He is not a human being, he seems to have become some kind of mummy-like existence!

"Are you a sweetheart...?"

"Exactly."

The monk laughed hoarsely.

"You...you can break into my sanctuary...human children, and... oh! What a wonderful existence! Miko! You...are you the same existence as me, Baixin?"

Kikyo stands in front of the rosette, facing the monk on the throne.

In those eyes that have been completely dried up, and only a large piece of horrible dryness can be seen, there is only a little pupil in the eyes, with an irresolvable obsession and bewilderment...

The witch's expression softened suddenly.

"Yes, I have died too." She said frankly, "The body standing here now was fired from my own grave soil and ashes. It made me find my own will.”

She didn't describe her experience in too much detail, but these simple words gave the sweetheart in the barrier a glimpse of the dangers that the witch had experienced before.

The monk's tone became a little gentler:

"So that's it. Then Miko, aren't you someone who can understand my feelings? We are both dead, and we have been treated unfairly. Why...why can't we resent others and this world?!"

Not reconciled!

Really... not reconciled!

"How ridiculous! I, who was hailed as a saint and who saved countless lives, became like this after death! I am not a Buddha in the flesh, but just a person who is trapped in the flesh and will never be able to escape. , Wandering in confusion and pain, a resentful undead!"

The monk laughed self-deprecatingly.

"So... have you been bewitched by Naraku?"

Qiao Wen couldn't help asking.

Sweetheart Baixin looked up at him.

"Bewitching? No... That monster just channeled out the resentment in my heart that I couldn't vent."

It was Naraku who told him that even though he could resent!He could resent the selfish people who let him die alone in fear and pain just to be redeemed—he was entitled to it, and he didn't have to forgive them at all.

It was he who spoke out those thoughts that briefly appeared in Sweetheart Bai's mind, but he dared not pursue them because they were too dark.

It was he who made Sweetheart Bai feel that his soul was being saved...

"So I promised to let him hide in my sanctuary if needed."

The monk said with a low smile.

"Here, no one can find him, no one can hurt him..."

This is a reward.

Perhaps it was also what Naraku wanted to get from him when he first found Bai Xinren.

But what does that matter?Before he died, he realized that he was not a saint, but just an ordinary person's sweetheart, and he didn't care anymore.

Kikyo looked at the white sweetheart who seemed to have made up his mind not to be swayed by other people's words, and sighed softly.

"You know that the bewitching from Naraku is not salvation, but just using..."

The witch said softly.

"But you have been locked up alone in the dark for many years. Only Naraku saw you and 'understood' you. With this 'graciousness', you are willing to be used by him..."

"Master, you are right, we are very similar people."

"Not only are we dead, but we were also people who did not allow ourselves to make mistakes or have any confusion when we were alive."

"But ah..."

The witch's expression became softer.

"As long as you are human, you will feel confused and make mistakes... This is a very normal thing for human beings."

So whether it was the fear and confusion that Sweetheart Baixin experienced before his death, or his sudden "greed for life and fear of death", it was nothing to be condemned or something to be ashamed of.

"That's just... just human nature."

Kikyo smiled and reached out to the surprised monk in the barrier:

"So, please open the enchantment."

"……why?"

"Because... I want to touch your soul."

"Touch my soul... Miko who is also a dead person with me, do you want to 'salvage' for me?"

"No..." Kikyo's answer was beyond Bai Xinren's expectation.

The Witch Goddess looked calm:

"I also died with complaints and hatred, and my soul cannot rest in peace. I haven't been able to save myself, how can I have the strength to save others?"

Facing the monk's surprised eyes, the witch squatted in front of him:

"I just want to know, since I stepped into the core of this sanctuary, I feel the great sadness everywhere, what is the reason..."

"Master, if your heart is really full of resentment like what Naluo 'guided', if you really have been 'saved' by him, where does the sadness in your heart come from?"

"……sad?"

Sweetheart Bai was stunned.

"Is the sadness in my heart..."

The circular barrier surrounding the purple-clothed monk dissipated at some point.

The monk faced the witch who was close at hand, looked at the beautiful eyes of the witch full of tenderness and compassion, and sighed.

"Witch..."

I thought you were the same person as me.

However, it is not after all.

When the witch's soft palm touched the top of his head, the monk closed his eyes and let her move.

"Master, there is no resentment, no hatred, and even... no anger in your soul."

Kikyo, who had touched the soul of Sweetheart Baixin, stroked the monk's head and said so.

"There is only endless sadness."

And this sadness was not caused by the instigation of Naraku's words, "Resent! You can resent as much as you want!", but because of...

"Because I finally understand that I am just a mortal..."

The monk smiled bitterly.

"I am cowardly like everyone else, and I fear darkness, loneliness and death just like ordinary people..."

Therefore, his sadness is because he understands his cowardice and cowardice, and because he finally understands that he cannot become a saint who becomes a Buddha in the flesh...

"Enough is enough."

The witch embraced the old monk who was still crying at this moment even though he had become a mummy.

"Master, maybe you don't think you are qualified to be a saint. But for those people you have saved, you are a saint. You are a saint who selflessly dedicated all you have for them and became a Buddha in body."

"So, enough is enough."

"Stop brooding about your cowardice. You've...done all you can."

——So, let yourself go.

"Is it……"

The monk prostrated himself in the arms of the witch. At this moment, he finally felt the tranquility and warmth he had not experienced for so many years.

——It turns out that he can already let go of himself and let his soul be free...

Sweetheart Baixin slowly closed his eyes.

The moment his eyes were closed, his body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a ball of fluorescent lights glowing with magnificent stars, and in the embrace of the witch, only an empty monk's uniform slowly fell down.

And those fluorescent lights circled the Miko, turning lightly around her a few times, as if they were saying their final farewell.

The monk, who saved countless villagers and sacrificed everything he could, finally became a Buddha under the consolation of the witch.

His voice before leaving echoed lightly in Kikyo's ears:

"I have chosen to forgive and let myself go, Miko, what about you..."

——What about your answer...

Kikyo lowered her eyes, watching the remaining spots of light gradually gather in her palm, and at the end, condensed into a round brown orb...

"Am I..."

The witch clenched her palms tightly, was silent for a moment, and then smiled.

"I too...have let myself go."

She seemed to be responding to the monk's last question, and seemed to be talking to herself.

After stacking the monk's robes and cassocks on the ground, and solemnly hugging them in her arms, the witch got up, and smiled at the young man who had been silently watching her side not far away, letting herself do whatever she wanted:

"Shall we go back?"

……

……

The barrier around Bailing Mountain almost collapsed completely.

After a sudden burst of huge spiritual power, the monsters who had been guarding the Bailing Mountain by chance or by chance at that time, all noticed some kind of change in this spiritual mountain.

However, before some of the monsters had the courage to approach the Lingshan Mountain to investigate something, a few quarters of an hour later, the barrier suddenly stood up again, and its clean breath was even worse than before.

The monsters who approached with all kinds of thoughts turned around and fled. Some ran a little slower. At the moment when the barrier quickly expanded and expanded, they didn't even have time to let out a scream, and they were rushed into a group by the violent spiritual energy. Group fly ash.

Within the reopened barrier.

Qiao Wen stood not far away, watching Kikyo and smilingly saying goodbye to the villagers around her.

After the last remaining body of Mrs. Baixin collapsed and her soul was finally freed, she handed over the brown orb that was left in the palm of Kikyo to the monks who practiced in the village where she lived temporarily for these days.

This village is exactly the village where the descendants of the people whom Sweetheart Bai Xin once sheltered moved to and established.

Therefore, in the temple in the village, there is a statue of Sweetheart Baixin.

The orb was placed by the monks in the upturned palm of the statue.

And when the orb was put down and the monks knelt in front of the statue and began to chant scriptures in unison, the barrier of Bailing Mountain that was about to collapse was re-opened, still covering the entire Lingshan, and still protecting the people around Lingshan. Residents, like the guardian of the white sweetheart, never disappear...

Kikyo hugged the last little girl who reluctantly pulled her sleeve to ask her not to leave, and waved to everyone with a smile. Afterwards, she was still the same as when she first came to this village, still dressed in a white dress with a scarlet hakama and carrying a long bag. Bow, with nothing else in his possession, turned and walked towards Qiao Wen who was waiting there.

The two walked slowly out of the village side by side.

The voices of farewell and urgency from the villagers in my ears have not stopped.

Neither Qiaowen nor Kikyo opened their mouths, and neither of them turned their heads. They didn't turn their heads until they were far away from the village, and when they looked back, they could only see a vague silhouette.

"Next... Kikyo, what are you going to do?"

Seeing that she rarely showed reluctance, Qiao Wen didn't ask any more questions, but only asked about her future plans.

The witch turned around, and while walking again, she and Qiao Wen walked towards the place where he and Ba Wei had agreed to meet before, while shaking the longbow on her shoulder:

"Continue to find Naraku."

she answered.

The answer was not what Qiao Wen expected.

Only this time, he was no longer so worried about Kikyo's actions.

In that conversation in Bailing Mountain Sanctuary, sweetheart Baixin was not the only one who eliminated obsessions and comforted his soul?

At least Qiao Wen could clearly feel that the bellflower that walked out of Bailing Mountain was very different from the bellflower he first met.

The melancholy and worry that always seemed to linger in the corners of her eyes and brows dissipated a lot, and what was replaced was full of relief and firmness.

The witch turned her head and smiled at Qiao Wenyang:

"This time I ruined his 'perfect' plan that was supposed to be 'safe' and not to be noticed by anyone in advance. Even if I don't go to him, I'm afraid he will take the initiative to come to me."

"That's right..." Qiao Wen nodded, "Should we continue to avoid Inuyasha and the others?"

Hearing the word "Inuyasha", Kikyo paused, but soon she calmed down again, and her tone was no longer complicated and resentful:

"Correct."

Qiao Wen didn't continue to ask any more questions.

As far as Kikyo is concerned, maybe she can let go of the resentment she once had, maybe she no longer has the obsession to take Inuyasha to hell with her, but there are still some things that cannot be easily let go, even if she is Kikyo , nor can she be forced to be "strong".

After a distance, a certain silver-haired demon fox lying on its side under a tree could already be seen with its back to the two of them. Qiao Wen took the initiative to stop, turned around and bid farewell to Kikyo face to face:

"Then, send me here."

He smiled and said to the witch who had mostly dissipated the gloom between her brows and eyes.

"If possible, I hope to continue to communicate with you, Kikyo. If you have any information about Naraku, you can share it in time. If there is anything I can help, please don't be polite, just ask me, I promise, I will use the best Come to you quickly."

Miko smiled.

"it is good."

She nodded cheerfully.

"Then, goodbye, Qiao Wen——Inuyasha is right, you are indeed... an incredible person."

The witch nodded slightly, and when Qiao Wen was startled, she responded with a smile of "goodbye!", turned around without hesitation, and walked away.

Qiao Wen kept watching her leaving back, until she could no longer see that beautiful figure, then turned around, ready to meet Bawei.

As soon as he turned around, Qiao Wen found that Ba Wei had come behind him at some point, standing there, watching him quietly...

"...Ba Wei!"

Qiao Wen was taken aback by the demon fox that quietly appeared behind her!

But Yaohu didn't care about the obvious anger in his tone when he called out his name.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the human youth who was close at hand:

"'Will come to you as fast as I can'?"
