My golden finger is not right

Fives,

I don't quite understand its meaning, just like I don't understand the secret language between the mountain god and him, but I understand that some confusions may not be answered in a lifetime.

So there is no need to dig too deep into the bottom line.

The little lantern probably belonged to a little (bear) child who had seen humans before. After being distracted for a few seconds, it suddenly realized that I seemed a little too silent.The mischievousness and activeness that people of the same age should have have never appeared in me.

It obviously thought that its answer just now was a bit too blunt, so it scared me, who was still a child.

"I've heard of you before." It turned its upper body sideways, and blinked its big vertical pupil at me, trying to make me less "nervous", "You should be the descendant of Yan Ye Madara, right? "

Its words caught me off guard, I nodded hesitantly, but my heart tightened slightly.

In fact, apart from the newspaper I read when I first came here, I knew almost nothing about my "grandfather" - Kotoha Madano.

"I met your grandfather once, long, long ago." Seeing me nodding, the fire light in its body flashed a hint of other colors, "It was probably on a midsummer night, and I was wandering in this area as usual. forest……"

"Of course, not in the form you saw at first." It paused, and then straightened its body to me. "It's almost like it is now."

"It's just that at that time I possessed powerful monster power, and the flames on my body were bigger and brighter than now."

"It's just now..." Its tone was bitter for a moment.

"Anyway, when I wandered into the depths of the woods, I smelled a special smell—sweet and sweet, just like the smell on you." Laughing, the tone became much more relaxed, "Don't smell it, you can't smell it. Humans have a way of distinguishing everything from humans, and monsters have a way of distinguishing everything from monsters. If humans have the ability of monsters, it's not a mess. "

For some reason, after it finished saying this, a shadow of a person appeared in my mind.It's just that I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't remember his appearance, and I saw that the little lantern seemed to want to continue talking, so I had to give up.

"I know that this smell comes from humans, but the strange thing is that this smell is completely different from the rancid smell of those humans in ugly skins that I have smelled in the past."

"So out of curiosity, I floated over." As he spoke, he moved his body slightly, expressing very vividly what the floating in his mouth looked like.

"It was a little girl with neatly cut hair, wearing a beautiful purple kimono, sitting under a dead tree in a tender but graceful manner..."

"Wait..." I couldn't restrain myself, and interrupted its memory rudely, "I'm sorry, but please, this little girl..."

The little lantern pointed its "face" at me, then nodded slowly, and said gloatingly, "That's right, that's what you guessed."

I was dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

I think this must be the biggest black history of my "grandfather" Yan Ye Madara... Dressed up like a little girl in the middle of the night, squatting in the grove or something...

"I also heard from other monsters later that your family seems to have a long-standing tradition, probably to pray for blessings or something, so you dress up all the boys in the family as girls. It's just strange that your own After your grandfather, the tradition seems to have been abandoned."

I shuddered secretly.

I really can't imagine that I will be dressed up as a girl one day, and then walk around in floral skirts every day.

"In short, the moment I saw him, I felt very, very strange. A little girl who hasn't even grown her hair yet, why did she come up to the mountain in the middle of the night? At that time, Nobiro was no different than it is now, although the monsters would not treat a little girl like that. What kind of hands does the girl move, but she can't hold back her hunger!"

"Just when you think you're starving, a delicious and soft free food suddenly pops up on the way, should you swallow it? Or not?"

"But don't worry, I was not hungry at that time, and I didn't eat this either."

"I didn't want to be nosy at first. After all, in the eyes of monsters, curiosity is directly proportional to danger. But when I was about to leave, I felt that monsters were approaching here."

"It's very fast and it's very purposeful, it's that little girl."

"I didn't know what kind of mentality it was at the time. I didn't choose to do nothing. I turned around and left. Instead, I went forward and tied him on my back, and then ran away with him."

"That monster should be very strong in terms of endurance. I took the little girl to hide for a whole night. It wasn't until dawn that the guy couldn't hold on and gave up."

"What's interesting is that during this process, the little girl didn't say a word, and lay on my back like a dead person all night."

"When I finally put him at the mouth of the woods, she finally spoke."

Speaking of this, the little lantern has nothing to say.I waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for it to continue. I was about to ask, when I saw it turned around, signaling to me that it had finished its journey.

I just noticed that before we knew it, we had reached the mouth of the woods.

"Thank you for leading me the way." After hesitating for a while, I couldn't help asking: "Well... can I know what happened next?"

The little lantern narrowed its eyes slightly, looking like it was thinking seriously.I was a little apprehensive, and unknowingly, I developed a kind of nervousness that would only happen when I was waiting for my grades.

It pondered for a while, and suddenly said in a very subtle tone: "That's what he said when he came here."

"what……"

"He said, thank you for leading him the way." Little Lantern paused, "But the second sentence he said was different from yours."

"He asked me if I wanted to go out and have a look."

My heart suddenly tightened.

When I came here, the words of the mountain god on the way were still in my ears.

In any case, monsters on the standard line cannot go down the mountain. If they go down the mountain, it will probably end up harming others and themselves.

I don't know why Hua Piao was able to go down the mountain, and what impact he had on himself and others after he went down the mountain.Regarding Hua Piao's remarks at that time, Ms. Keiko almost acquiesced in her attitude.

So who is lying?

Maybe I already have the answer in my heart, but I have been unwilling to face it.

My thoughts were a little off track, and I didn't fully recover until I heard a voice next to me.

"Guess how I answered?" Little Lantern asked while retracting the white silk tied around my wrist.

"..."

"I said yes because I wanted to see the sun."

"Fu Sangshen is a ghost that can only appear at night, and will inevitably fall into a deep sleep during the day. Therefore, no Fusangshen has ever seen the sun."

"But I want to see the sun, no matter what."

"But as long as I stay on the mountain, I will definitely fall into a deep sleep during the day, so only when I go down the mountain, only when I leave here, can I see the sun in a waking state."

"But why?" I asked incomprehensibly. "Do you know what will happen to you when you leave?"

"I know." Its eyes slowly fell to one point.I looked over and found that it was looking at the stone tablet engraved with the name of the mountain.

That stone tablet is also a boundary line, and once you cross that stone tablet, it means you have left Mount Nobiro.

"I know I'm going to die very, very quickly," it added, "and the ward will be broken."

"But if you only leave for a very short time, the enchantment won't be particularly affected. But my time will still decrease extremely quickly."

"does it worth?"

"worth."

"I knew from the moment I was conceived that I was special."

"The world of Fusangshen will not appear in too bright colors, so for all other Fusangshen based on lanterns, the internal flames are either green or blue."

"Only me, red, burning red."

"The flame is our soul."

"So, I have the most unique soul."

"At that time, I was frivolous and arrogant, thinking that I was the 'sun' of the entire dark world. I lit the most dazzling fire every night, and galloped among the withered and decadent woods. I was like an invincible madman, even mocking the moon Not enough brilliant silver light."

"Until one day, I overheard a conversation between two people who went up the mountain to pick herbs."

"They complained that it was too dark here, and said that they still like to go up the mountain to collect herbs during the day, but it's a pity that the herbs they need only ripen at night."

"That was the first time I heard 'day,' and heard the word 'sun.'"

"They say that where the sun is, there is no darkness, because its light can penetrate the night and illuminate all places in the world. And its light is golden, which is the most beautiful and special in the world. s color."

"Of course I wasn't convinced, so I jumped out and scared them all away."

"Later, I thought about it. The sun should be a very, very powerful monster, and it is as special as me."

"No! I'm the most special one!"

"At that time, I told myself so arrogantly. From that day on, I began to cultivate desperately and accumulate strength desperately. I desperately hope that one day I can rival the 'big monster' of the sun."

"But when I finally reached the peak of my cultivation, I suddenly discovered that I couldn't see the sun at all."

"Just when I was extremely confused and at a loss, that little girl appeared, and he said to me——

Want to go out and have a look? "

"I promise."

"Then have you seen the sun?" As soon as I finished saying this, I regretted it.

Because I understand that the sun is not a monster, so no matter how powerful the little lantern is, no matter how bright the light is, it is not enough to compare with the sun.

The little lantern didn't answer for a while, it suddenly raised its head and glanced at the sky.

It was very close to dawn at this time, and the part where the sky and the mountains overlapped faintly had an orange-yellow halo.

It's almost dawn.

"I saw it..." It stared blankly at the halo, and its red vertical pupils gradually filled with a kind of madness that was almost paranoid.It stared there intently, as if looking at its most important treasure.

"It's... very beautiful..." It murmured for a long time, but after thousands of words, it could only be expressed in these four words.

"My time is almost up."

"My flames are dying too."

"Instead of watching myself go into extinction day by day, I would rather use my last little time to see you again!"

"But how can this be done?" I was frightened by its paranoia, "and the mountain god will not agree!"

Little Lantern wrinkled the stripes on his face, which looked a little like a smile: "The mountain god agreed."

"How... maybe..." I changed my face slightly, because I suddenly remembered that the mountain god once covered half of his face with a fan and asked the little lantern if he regretted it. After getting a negative answer, he covered the whole face with his fan. Zhang Lian left.

His meaning is obvious - if you must do it, if I can't stop you, then I can only pretend that I didn't see it.

"The mountain god told me that you are a descendant of Yanye Madara. So it is impossible for you not to have the ability he possesses."

……

No wonder the mountain god finally said please me...

The little lantern suddenly jumped onto my shoulder and shouted anxiously: "It's coming out soon! Go! Cross that line! Otherwise I'll fall into a deep sleep!"

"I promise you will not be affected in any way! Please!"
