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

Natsume Special Chapter 21

In the quiet night, there is a cool breeze, and the sound of Japanese paper wind chimes jingles.Shanyue was covered by dark clouds, and when Hikari and Natsume were talking, the sky began to rain.

"Oops, I didn't bring an umbrella, go home quickly." Hikari said to Natsume.

The two trotted down the path home.The lamps on the mountain road are not bright, and the rain is lingering soft silver.From a distance, I saw Zuo Wei, clinging to a crimson oil-paper umbrella, wading through the bluestone road with his clothes on.

Guang waved his hand, Zuo Wei saw it, stopped in the rain, and smiled at them.

Time and space seem to flow backwards at this moment, and this scene coincides with Sawei holding a red umbrella on the bridge thousands of years ago, and Natsume suddenly has mixed feelings.

"Guang, you are so careless, you didn't bring an umbrella when you went out." Zuo Wei said as soon as he saw Guang, with tenderness and doting in his eyes, "Guizhi, thanks to you for finding Guang, otherwise I don't know where to play ..."

"What kind of play, don't treat me like a child..." Hikari muttered dissatisfiedly, dragging Natsume to hide under Zuowei's oil-paper umbrella.

The three of them snuggled up under the red umbrella and returned to Natsume's house, with deep and shallow water stains on their shoulders.

In the Japanese room, chessboards are dotted all over.He leaned forward to take a look without changing his shoes, and blurted out: "Taya has become stronger again!" He let out an inaudible "ah", "His performance is still a little better than mine... No wonder, the Chess Academy today Tell me, he is still the seed player for the LG Cup Youth Invitational."

Zuo Wei closed the oil-paper umbrella: "Guang, I've told you many times, Xiao Liang—"

Guang just said: "This is about me and Taya." Without raising his head.

This conversation has apparently been played out between them many times.Natsume wanted to laugh, but also felt sad.The fetters of Guangguang are clear at a glance, and Natsume never believes the words of "Without Zuowei, Taya would not look at me" in Guangguang's mouth. However, in many cases, the authorities are often confused.

"Takashi, Madara didn't come with you?" Zuowei asked Natsume.

Hearing Madara's name, Natsume was deeply startled.The incident of not being able to see the monster came so suddenly, Natsume is still extremely confused. He just feels like ants are gnawing out small holes in his heart. .

But seeing Guang standing up from the chessboard, his tone was gloomy: "... Zuo Wei, I can't see the monster anymore."

Zuo didn't know why.Natsume talked about the whole story.The cloth on the shoulders was wet from the rain, which seemed cold and dull.His voice weakened uncontrollably.

I can't see the monsters...

no more... see no more...

Under the pattering rain curtain, through the wooden lattice window, Natsume saw the lighthouse on the top of the mountain, the hazy orange light constantly flickering, reminding the jet plane in the rain to drive carefully, and it was approaching the limit.

Yes, the limit is close to the limit.

"Let's play chess." Natsume said.He heard his own voice dry and hoarse.

"Natsume—" Hikaru seemed to be about to say something, but Natsume just shook his head slightly.But Guang insisted: "The butterfly album left by your parents, the third son gave it to me, and I haven't given it to you yet."

<<

Natsume found the Butterfly Album in the room with the woodcuts.The family photo is sandwiched inside, and on it are two faces that have been blurred in Natsume's memory.He looked through it for a long time.It wasn't until the sound of the sound of gold and stone outside the door that he realized that the photo was already wet with tears.

Outside the window, the rain gradually became torrential.Occasionally, bright lightning flashed across the sky, and suddenly, there was a bang.Natsume's hand trembled unconsciously, and the butterfly album fell on the table with a "boom".

Natsume has been afraid of thunder since she was a child.There were bursts of sweat on his forehead, and he subconsciously wanted to find the light.Opening the paper door, I saw Guangzheng and Zuowei concentrating on playing chess.Natsume gritted his teeth and closed the paper door.He couldn't interrupt their chess game for such a trivial matter.

Amidst the roaring thunder, Natsume rummaged through his backpack in a panic, trying to take out his mobile phone and earplugs, when Murasaki Shikibu's ancient mirror came into view.At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a pair of bright slender eyes.

Grandma Reiko!

As if he had found a treasure, the young man quickly took out Zi Shibu's ancient mirror.The teenagers and girls with similar faces looked at each other through the mirror.Natsume stretched out his hand, and in an instant, the thunder stopped.The field of vision is filled with the familiar gentle white light, which is quite different from the storm and thunder.

Natsume breathed a sigh of relief, and his body quickly became weak.He sat down on the floor.

"You haven't even played a game of chess with him, or even said a word to him, but you have waited for him for a thousand years... You, you have waited for him for a thousand years!"

It was the first time Natsume heard Reiko speak in such a tone of compassion and shock.

The girl in uniform looked anxious, walking up and down on the green grass ears.In the end, he sat down helplessly, and murmured anxiously: "Forget it... I also know that you are stupid to a certain extent."

Qing Lan dipped in the lake water and wrote on the ground, "In addition to being ashamed, it is also because only Lord Zuo Wei remembers many things from the past."

That night, the maid of Sugawara's mansion rescued Qing Lan who was unconscious in the lake, but Zuo Wei never came back.

After the ceremony, Xiangzi was shocked to hear the bad news as soon as she left the palace. She found the frozen Nuozi in the Qingliang Hall where Queen Tingzi was.A mourning note fell from Nuozi's hand.

"In the autumn of the first year of Changde, the first chess waiter ordered Fujiwara to commit suicide outside the capital in fear of crime. It was about [-] years old."

Xiangzi stared at the mourning note, blood seemed to flow out of his eyes: "Fear of crime and commit suicide?!" The sinner's stigma cannot be recorded in the annals of history.

Nuozi said sadly: "Xiangzi..." He told the whole story.

Xiangzi didn't say a word.

The next day, Xiangzi went to Jiyue Forest to find Qinglan who was ill in bed.Seeing the paper-faced girl, Xiangzi couldn't say a word when she was so full of guilt, she just smashed the mirror she gave Qinglan.With a bang, the ground was covered with debris, and she threw all the diaries before Ji Li into the brazier.

Qinglan's wind and cold became more and more severe.The matter of recommending female officials can only be shelved.Nuozi came to visit her sick, her face was also haggard: "No one would have imagined that Mr. Sugawara would slander Zuo Weiqing for cheating..."

However, Qinglan is clear.Without her night interview and her waka, Zuo Wei would not have jumped into the water and ended up unknown in history.

Jing Zuowei's incident of throwing water, Xiangzi was obviously indifferent to them.The two did not come together.Qinglan was trapped in guilt and couldn't extricate herself, and Xiangzi and Nuozi had a rift, which also made Qinglan very sad.She is only thirteen or fourteen years old, how can her childish body bear these mental tortures?

One night, Qing Lan suddenly developed a high fever, and heard a deep voice in the dark.That was the first time she heard Mibu's voice.

"He didn't really die." Mibu brought Zuowei's news.

Qing Lan was pleasantly surprised, but she no longer had the strength to get up and write.

"Human girl, I am a high-ranking monster in the Moon Forest, and I have watched you grow up." Mibu's voice was filled with indifference and compassion, "The inferiority complex, fear and shame in your heart are so deep that it almost made you fall Into the magic barrier."

Even if the Buddha cannot save all sentient beings, what about demonic obstacles?

She just wants to stay with Xiangzi and Nuozi, and find Zuowei who has become a ghost.

Mibu seemed to see what she was thinking: "Your lifespan is about to end. Are you willing to fall into a demon and come to me?"

Qing Lan's heart was already sad to the point of despair, so there was nothing she wanted or didn't like.

When she became conscious again, she had become a monster beside Mibu.The leaves in the Moon Forest are still fragrant. No one knows that a human girl has finished her short life like morning dew, and started another life of her boundless life as a monster.

It was at that time that the sound of Qian Cong's piano was heard.Qiancong loves to play the piano, and Qing Lan always envies her expression of enjoying herself and being intoxicated by it——would Master Zuo Wei, who wanders around the world for Go, also have such an expression?

Mibu said that Zuowei fell asleep on the chessboard, but one day, he would wake up attached to a human being.

he will wake up.Master Zuowei who is thinking about it, he will wake up.And knowing this is enough.

Her life was saved by Zuo Wei.Qinglan is willing to wait and repay in any way.

The youkai of the Isatsuki no Mori can change their appearance as they wish.For the convenience of coming and going, Qing Lan sometimes turns into a civet cat.When she sees a human being killed by a monster, she will turn into a human body and drive the monster away with a lantern.As time goes by, people have named her as one of the ghosts "Qing Xing Lantern".

One day, she returned to the meditation room where she used to live.It was found that the old buildings had become rotten wood, cobwebs were everywhere in the house, and moss was overgrown on the bed.Qing Lan was shocked.She died of illness like a cup of tea, but time did not flow by according to her perception.

Watching a game in the mountains, the world has been around for thousands of years.

"Some monsters, like me, don't like dealing with humans, because their perception of time is too unequal." Qian Cong said.

"I used to be human." Qing Lan wrote.

"You are a monster now." Qian Cong said gently.

Qing Lan carried the glazed lantern and entered the capital.No one can see her, but she can come and go freely, which is not as good as being imprisoned as a human being.

She quickly found Xiangzi.Xiangzi came out of the palace wearing twelve singles, still in deep purple, sad and happy middle-aged, rouge could no longer cover the fine lines around her eyes and slack face.

The most helpless things in the world are the falling of vegetation and the twilight of beauties.

Xiangzi can see monsters.Qinglan might as well think about it and walked quickly to her, but Xiangzi ignored her and walked past her.A wisp of tea fragrance pierced into her nostrils, and what was pinned to her waist was the dark blue tassel from many years ago!

And almost at the same moment, Qing Lan felt uncomfortable all over her body, as if suffocating.She stepped back a few feet in fear.It turns out that Du Ruo is so powerful.

Qinglan quietly followed Xiangzi's ox cart into Fujiwara's mansion.No one can see her, Qing Lan is like entering a land of no one.To say it is a mansion, it is better to say it is a small besieged city, with vermilion pavilions and flying pavilions.Qinglan followed Xiangzi into her room, but at that moment, she trembled to the point of stunned!

Xiangzi's room is clearly the same as the Zen room in the Jiyue Forest in the past.Chessboard and chess sets, pen holders and inkstones, glazed palace lanterns, wooden lattice windows, picture scroll screens...the furnishings are all imitated and imitated endlessly.And next to the screen, it was clearly the Leaky Pot that Nuozi gave her many years ago, ticking, ticking, endlessly!

No wonder, Xiangzi would wear Du Ruojin tassels!Tears filled Qing Lan's eyelashes.It turned out that she hadn't forgotten for a moment.

In the past 20 years, both Xiangzi and Nuozi had a lot of troubles. They lost their husbands several times, their families fell, and their beautiful faces were worn out in endless political struggles.The beauty is late, and the evening scene is even more bleak.

Once, Qinglan saw Xiangzi take out a broken ancient mirror from the dressing table.Those blue-purple eyes became distant and empty in an instant, and she opened her lips quietly, as if she knew that Qing Lan was by her side.

"Friends who treat me sincerely, except for Mr. Zuowei who died in vain, there are only you two... But now, Nuozi and I are drifting apart because of the political struggle, and we are walking strangers... And you, Qinglan, are also here Disappeared 20 years ago...

"What kind of female official is nothing more than a lonely ghost in fancy clothes. This magnificent Ping'an Dynasty, it turns out that nothing can be kept... can't be kept..."

<<

"That is to say, you returned to Xiangzi, but she can't see you anymore?" Reiko felt palpitations just thinking about it, "Then... what happened?"

"Nuozi shaved her hair and became a nun, and died of humiliation in the temple. After Xiangzi finished "The Tale of Genji", she also died on the couch."

In a short sentence, Reiko felt desolate, and her voice was sharp: "Could it be possible that you stayed with Xiangzi and Nuozi until they died—and they didn't realize that you were right in front of your eyes. ?!"

Qing Lan only lowered her eyebrows and wrote: "Human beings and monsters have different paths, they are close at hand, but far away in the world."

Natsume suddenly understood why Qing Lan had to find Zuo Wei.Aside from the reasons of love and guilt, only Sato Fujiwara witnessed and remembered their friendship.Xiangzi couldn't see her anymore, and after they died, no one remembered those pure white and warm cardamom years.Just like when Xiangzi died, Qinglan took away the more leaky pot and the broken mirror.Qing Lan needs Zuo Wei to prove the real existence of the past.

Reiko was speechless.

After a long while, she just asked a question: "Xiangzi... why can't she see the monster?" If Xiangzi could see it, the three of them might be able to go back to the past.

Qing Lan wrote: ""Ben Cao Bie Ji" records that Du Ruo is fragrant and light in taste... Can kill monsters and ward off bright beasts... It is quick to use at the beginning, but it will cause disaster after a long time. Cut the spirit orifice and block its eyes. It will lead to isolation. Therefore, warlocks should not use it indiscriminately."

If it is used for a long time, it will bring disaster.Cutting off the spirit orifice will block its eyesight and lead to isolation.

Natsume was struck by lightning.
