[Go Soul Natsume's Book of Friends] Guang Xia

Natsume Special Chapter Fourteen

After parting with Hikari, Natsume arrived at Yahara's platform and received his call again.

It's Zuowei.

"Sorry, Kishi, I just started playing chess... When I came back, I thought Chuzhi hadn't started yet."

"It's okay." Natsume said quickly, smiling.This is the cutest thing about Zuo Wei.Natsume is willing to do everything for such a pure and easy-to-satisfy Zuoi, "Saoi, happy new year."

Natsume wishes to say Happy New Year to them every year.

"I also wish you a happy new year. The purple jade tassel you gave me is very beautiful, and I will always wear it." Zuo Wei's tone was full of joy and gratitude, "I never thought that a thousand years have passed, and I still have the opportunity to receive it." Come to Du Ruojin as a gift. Thank you, Guizhi."

In the Heian period, there were hundreds of ghosts walking at night. It is said that wearing Du Ruojin tassels can avoid the invasion of all ghosts. Therefore, over time, it has become a gift from gentlemen and officials.Natsume has seen this from the introduction in the box.

Natsume smiled and said, "It's really suitable for you, Zuowei."

When getting along with Zuo Wei, people don't consciously become refined.

"Kiki... I always have one thing on my mind."

Natsume actually knew what Zuowei was worried about.

"Do you know the whereabouts of Sugawara Hime? It's a pity to say that I still remember the heavy rain that day. I met Xiangzi in front of the east gate. I wanted to play a game with Sugawara Hime, but I passed by. That miss is a thousand years." I heard that Sugawara Hime is now a monster, and I can't help thinking about it, I want to play chess with her, and I want to talk about the past with her."

Natsume pursed her lips.The red lanterns on the platform glowed kindly.He walked a few steps with his mobile phone in hand, then stopped in panic.

What should he do?

"I..." After thinking for a while, Natsume finally replied, "Yes, I know her whereabouts."

There was expectation in Zuo Wei's voice: "Really, can you tell me?"

"I'm sorry...I can't say."

Zuo Wei was anxious: "Why can't you say it?"

"Qing Lan after a thousand years is no longer a human being, but Qing Xingdeng, one of the hundred ghosts. Zuo Wei, you know more or less...Bing's attitude towards human beings."

Zuo Wei understood very well: "Bing has always been wary of human beings."

"It's because one day I will have to bear the pain of separation and the long loneliness." Natsume couldn't stop apologizing to Qing Lan and Bing in his heart, "It's better not to date from the beginning."

"So that's how it is..." Zuo Wei's tone revealed a sudden realization, "Is Sugawara Ji's thinking the same as C's?"

"Yes."

Natsume sighed inwardly.He lied...Qing Lan will understand, right?

Thousands of years ago, Qing Lan, who was holding a fan and quietly opened the curtain of the car, more or less yearned for Zuo Wei...

Qing Lan, the person you have waited for thousands of years for, the person you have sacrificed your life for, you must hope that he can play chess happily in the future, right?

Thinking of this, Natsume became more determined: "Zuowei, are you willing to respect Qing Lan's ideas?"

Zuo Wei hurriedly said, "Of course."

Natsume clenched the phone tightly: "Then, don't ask where Qinglan is going."

"But..." Zuo Wei moaned, slightly melancholy, like snow falling from the pine leaves, "Hime Sugawara is unparalleled in chess, I should have played against her for decades, even, thousands of years... It's a pity to miss it again and again. "

"very sorry."

"Guizhi, do you think this is good? I'll write a book and attach my chess record. You can pass it on to Hime Sugawara for me, okay?"

Natsume thought for a while, "That's fine."

That's good.

He apologized to Qing Lan again in his heart.

Natsume walked past the red washi paper lanterns.In the eyes is the Oriental Forest with rustling forest leaves, and the inside is dark and gloomy which is extremely inconsistent with the atmosphere of the platform.Natsume suddenly remembered - not far from here, is the Changzhai!

Natsume subconsciously wanted to escape, but heard the sound of small footsteps in the darkness, stepping on the wet snow, creaking and creaking several times, which was inexplicably weird.There was a dim light flickering, and Natsume broke out in a cold sweat, only to hear the footsteps getting louder and louder, obviously getting closer to him——

crackle!Near at hand, there was suddenly the sound of a branch breaking.Natsume let out an "ah" in surprise.The other party also seemed to be quite frightened, there was a flash of light, and something fell on the ice and snow all over the ground.

Natsume held his breath, his heart beating like a drum.But listening to the rustling of the clothes, a girl's voice sounded softly: "Who is it?"

Natsume recognized it immediately: "Asaka!" Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Natsume-kun?" Qian Cong was surprised.Candlelight flickered in front of my eyes, and it turned out that what had just fallen on the ground was a small glazed wind lantern, and now Qian Cong bent down to pick it up, "How come you are here so late?"

"I came out from the platform and passed by here." Natsume recalled what Mr. Cat said, the house where Asagi was alone, "Asaura, are you alright?"

The long aqua blue hair flutters softly, and the crystal candlelight outlines the face of a girl monster.I saw that she was wearing a long dress of pale ai color, with a snow-white onyx inside.Natsume felt extremely uncomfortable seeing it—the current Asagi, the former luthier, is actually dressed as a demon exorcist shikigami!

How heartbroken Tong felt when he saw this scene!

"I have nothing to do, I just take care of some things for Miss Zhenyou." Qian Cong said, but frowned her pretty eyebrows, "Natsume-kun, why do you have a scent of tea on you? comfortable……"

It is the residual smell of Du Ruojin.Natsume understood, and hurriedly took a step back: "It's just that the gift I gave Shinto-kun and Sakai is no longer with me."

"Mr. Zuowei?" Qian Cong's eyes flickered instantly, warm, beautiful, yet so fragile, like a glazed wind lantern fluttering in her hand, "Natsume-kun, what did you give Mr. Zuowei?" She asked curiously .

"Du Ruojinying, a spice of the Heian era." Natsume said, but suddenly remembered that Asagi, the high-level monster of the Isatsuki Forest, was also afraid of Du Ruoxiang... Asagi, her... Zuowei...

Natsume suddenly felt a palpitation: Did he do something wrong?

Only to hear Qian Cong repeat: "Du Ruo?" Then, she seemed to remember something, her face turned pale, the warm light in her eyes cooled down, it cooled down... Finally, it can almost be described as desolate.She looked devastated, "Unexpectedly, it's Du Ruo."

Xia Mu panicked, he really did something wrong!He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Qian Cong, I will tell Zuo Wei—"

"Natsumu-kun, I just didn't expect that you would know Du Ruo." Qian Cong said, his expression had regained his composure, as if the momentary loss of composure was just an illusion, "Is Mr. Zuo Wei unbearable to be troubled by monsters?"

"Yeah, Shinto-kun was almost attacked by a monster." Natsume said matter-of-factly, "I think they played chess well, that's why..." Then he asked uncertainly, "Is it okay for me to do this?"

Light Onion lost his mind for a moment.Finally, she nodded, "Yes. The most important thing is that Mr. Zuo Wei can concentrate on playing chess."

No, no, that's not what she meant.

Natsume asked softly: "Asaka, do you... like Zuowei?"

In the shadow of the flickering lights, the light-onion blurred expression seemed to be separated by a layer of cool mist.She whispered, "Copper died for me."

"You regard Tong as a friend." Natsume remembered the past.

"So what? Copper died for me."

So you broke the strings and spent your endless life to repay?Natsume's eyes unconsciously showed compassion.This is not the ending Copper wants.Absolutely not.

The Qian Cong that Tong wants to see is the Qian Cong who loves to play the piano, and the Qian Cong who is graceful when holding the piano in his arms.

Just like Zuowei when playing chess.

"Asaka, listen to me, okay?" Natsume said earnestly.

"it is good."

"I think there are not many people in this world who can understand Zuo's obsession, including Shinto-kun and Qing Lan. Tong Tong and I can't understand you either. Your body is decayed to the point where you still have a wisp of breath, but you only want to play the piano once... Only you and Zuo Wei understand each other. Your souls are both pure and pure."

Natsume has never been good at facing such things, just say what comes to mind: "Shancong...do you understand what I mean?" Qiancong did not answer, but said quietly: "A long time ago, I heard a song The melody. Nobles in the Heian period, adapted from the sentence of Lotte Layman. I often play it to Mibu-sama, and the millennium has passed, but I still remember the lyrics.”

She sang very softly: "The talents are endless, but where is the soul of Yiren? If the soul does not come, you will feel pain, and when the soul returns, you will be sad."

"The soul is back, and you are also sad." Natsume murmured and repeated.

He remembered the agreement between Zuo Wei and Qian Cong to destroy the chessboard, which made Qian Cong in a dilemma.He asked: "Shancong, the 'soul' that made you miserable, refers to your own body decayed at that time, with only a wisp of breath left—or... Zuowei?"

"All."

Natsume couldn't help but said, "Asagi, why don't you make yourself feel better?" How much he wished to hear Asagi's piano sound again, wishing Asagi was as happy as Zuowei, "Both Tong and I like to hear you play the piano. Zuowei, even I want to be in harmony with your qin flute."

Hearing that Asagi no longer plays the piano is like hearing that Zuo Wei no longer plays chess.

Qian Cong said: "If I want to make myself feel better, I won't break the strings of the qin." She raised her slender hand, stared at it, with deep sadness in her eyes, "I can even give up my most beloved qin for the sake of copper... What's more, I am a monster, and Mr. Zuo Wei has different paths."

She paused, and said, "It's better not to meet Qingcheng."

The sentence "It's better not to meet" expresses how much sorrow, loneliness and desolation.

In fact, Light Onion has already made up his mind.Natsume knew that no matter how much she said, it would be futile.If Qian Cong does not pick up the piano, liberation will not come, let alone face her own thoughts.

However, he was puzzled, what Qian Cong said was like a farewell.why is that?It's just a tassel, Zuo Wei doesn't always wear it.Qian Cong smelled Du Ruo, and didn't pass out like Teacher Cat.She can still go to see Zuo Wei?

"I will explain to Zuo Wei about Jinying." Natsume said despite being dazed.

"No, there's no need." Qian Cong shook her head, "Mr. Zuo Wei was destined to be born to play the Tao, and you shouldn't let things about monsters bother them." There was despair and sober pain in her voice, "There is no better way .”

"Really?" Natsume looked directly at her, "Shancong, I want to hear your truth, is this really the best way?"

"Yes." Light Onion said.

Asagi said yes firmly, but her eyes were filled with tears.

<<

"Hearing what you said, I think that spice named Du Ruo is even more strange." Teacher Cat said vaguely.

It was devouring the taiyaki and steamed buns that Hikari brought.Natsume sat on the floor of the room, holding "Book of Friends", feeling confused.

"You think, the spice that makes me dizzy even when I smell it, those guys in Natori and the field have never used it? It's strange." Teacher Cat said, "Speaking of which, how did you know such a powerful thing? "It's Qinglan's...

But Natsume didn't want to say it.

"Du Ruo, is it also harmful to you humans?" Teacher Cat asked thoughtfully.

"I don't think so." Natsume said hesitantly, "Asagi said, that's the best way."

"Okay, let's do it."

"But I'm still so uneasy."

"It has nothing to do with me, just don't let me smell that scent again. If you dare to get another one, I will eat you."

"I know, I know... Also, teacher, should I tell Zuo Wei about Qian Cong?"

"Why are you gossiping like this? Don't you think it's not enough trouble, bitch?"

"You try to insult me ​​like this again!" Natsume swung his fist.
