[Onmyoji] Deep Sea Girl

"You think too much. I just happen to hold the same thoughts and concepts as him, so he respects me." Qiong Lang was silent for a moment, shook his head and said emphatically, "The thing you asked for Contrary to his persistence, if I really tried to persuade him, he would not nod in agreement."

"You think too highly of me, and you underestimate his determination."

Hearing what she said, the expression of the big tengu outside the mirror eased a little, but his face was still not good-looking.

Eight Hundred Bhikkuni was slightly startled, then moved his lips a few times, but finally did not speak.She vaguely felt that Qiong Lang had actually understood what she really meant, but she still pretended to be confused.

In the sudden silence, Qiong Lang raised his steps and circled half around her, asking slowly, "Why are you so obsessed with death, isn't it good to live?"

"To be alive...to be alive is of course a good thing." Eight hundred bhikkuni straightened up slightly, and then let out a low laugh, "But to live forever is a kind of torture. As adults have seen, what around me No, people are afraid of my eternal life, and I feel sorry and sad for their brevity and demise."

"You obviously have many companions around you, don't you?"

"My lord, too many partings will make the tired heart grow old prematurely."

Eight hundred bhikkuni turned around slowly, the chains that imprisoned her made a soft knocking sound, Qiong Lang was behind her with his back to her, although he was talking to her, his eyes were glued to the heart of the mermaid in his hand, thinking about something What.

"It is impossible for me to be with them for the rest of my life. Parting is inevitable, and the deeper the bond, the more painful it will be when it is cut off. Instead of waiting until that time, it is better to leave early before paying affection."

"Eight hundred bhikkhuni, you have always regarded yourself as a human being from the beginning to the end."

Qiong Lang withdrew his gaze, turned around and looked at her, "But you are no longer a human being, have you ever thought that if you accept the fact that you have become a monster, everything will be different?"

The time of 800 years is quite normal for a long-lived monster, but for a person, it is already a time of change.

The worlds in which humans and monsters live are inherently different. Unless you have the open-minded and open-minded state of mind like Tamamo-mae, otherwise you will be forced to integrate into a world that is not suitable for you, and you will definitely taste bitterness.

"I understand what you mean." Eight hundred bhikkhuni smiled lightly, and the messy sideburns around her ears slid to the front of her clothes as she lowered her head, "But I was once a human being, and my parents, family members, friends... They are human beings, how can I be willing to leave them?"

Compared with humans, the blood relationship between monsters is too indifferent.Even if she is no longer human and cannot be recognized by the human world, she would rather be alone than join the world of monsters.

"Do you think my thoughts are too naive and stupid?" She continued without fear of offending, "But adults are monsters, how can they understand human emotions."

Qiong Lang touched his chin noncommittally, neither expressing approval nor objection.

After a moment of silence, she was also relieved, and she was no longer obsessed with trying to change the mind of the eight hundred monks.

Everyone's experience and feelings are different. Qiong Lang didn't think how shrewd or ruthless he was when he decided to go to the world of monsters. passionate.

However, it was all due to chance and coincidence that she was forced to get to where she is today, but compared to the emotional Eight Hundred Bhikkuni, she seemed more rational.

"Take this thing and let's go."

Qiong Lang looked down at Bhikkhuni Babai, and handed her the mermaid heart in his hand. With the sound of her voice, the chains on Bhikkhuni Bhikkhuni disappeared in an instant.

Eight hundred bhikkuni was stunned for a moment, she looked at the mermaid meat in Qiong Lang's hand, and she looked a little at a loss for a while.

"...Why? Why did you give this thing to me so easily?" She threatened them just now.

"There's no reason." Qiong Lang shook his head and said softly, "I'm not kind enough to turn a blind eye to what you did to Tan Sheng."

It's just that she thinks she should do that. The curse of the mermaid clan should come to an end. Only when the heart is destroyed and the curse disappears can the patriarch from thousands of years ago be able to rest in peace.

Eight hundred bhikkhuni looked at her, and took the heart hesitantly. The warm mermaid heart was beating slightly in her hand, but it seemed as if something heavy was knocking on the atrium, making the heart that had been silent for a long time Then jump up again.

She lightly touched this precious heart with both hands, her body trembled slightly, and her expression seemed to have passed away.

She never thought that what she had been looking for for so many years would reach her hands so easily.

"Speaking of it, sometimes I'm very glad you think so." Qiong Lang smiled lightly and removed Jing Ji's barrier, and returned to the warm and bright room with Eight Hundred Bhikuni.

Hearing this inexplicable sentence, Eight Hundred Bhikkuni looked at her suspiciously.

Qiong Lang has always been an optimist, and he is unwilling to treat anything with malice or negative emotions.The death she has experienced has opened up her mind a lot, just like this endless beautiful sea.

Although You's choice made her suffer for decades, it also sharpened her resolve to achieve everything today, and she never had the slightest complaint in her heart.

Looking at it from another angle, she is very fortunate that Bhikkhuni is such an emotional person, otherwise she would not have had her adventure with the system, let alone the encounter with these relatives and friends around her today.

Therefore, she didn't mind helping the eight hundred bhikkhunis out of pain.

Facing the puzzled appearance of the eight hundred bhikkhuni, Qiong Lang didn't explain anything to her immediately, but just sent her to the small road leading to the ferry by the Rakshasa sea.

The night sky is full of stars twinkling, the moonlight is shining on the rippling sea, and the gentle night wind is blowing.

"Actually, I was also a human being, and I was born in that fishing village far away." Under the night, Qiong Lang raised his hand and pointed to the distance.

The eight hundred bhikkhuni who had been silent all this time was stunned, and looked at her slightly, as if very surprised.

Qiong Lang smiled at her, "Do you want to know how the mermaid heart in my hand came from?"

Eight Hundred Bhikuni paused, and asked softly, "Master Qiong Lang, would you like to tell me?"

"This is a deal between a senior and me. As long as I fulfill his last wish, he will give me the heart of the mermaid." Qiong Lang paced back and forth, turned to her and said, "You don't even know what that senior said. It will be unfamiliar, it is the 'lingering guy' you mentioned in your mouth."

"I almost forgot to tell you, but I have actually eaten mermaid meat before."

Hearing this, Babaichuni stopped and froze in place.

"But I'm more unlucky than you, or perhaps luckier than you. The rotten mermaid meat didn't give me the ability to live forever."

Qiong Lang shrugged, and briefly told her the story of Yunwuhai and the curse of mermaid flesh intermittently, but did not mention You's true identity and system.

"So, whether you eat this heart or destroy it, the curse can be lifted."

Eight hundred bhikkhuni listened blankly, and finally understood the reasons for all his tragedies, but his brain was too slow to think.

She finally understood why Qiong Lang said those words to her just now. It turned out that what she was looking for had been hidden in another world that she resisted and avoided.

If she hadn't made that choice back then, how would the stories of these hundreds of years have been written?

Eight hundred bhikkhuni didn't know the answer, and she was in a complicated mood for a while, so she could only subconsciously follow her to the ferry.

The small unmanned ship slowly docked, with weird talisman paper on it, as long as it sits on it, it can leave the enchantment of the Raksha Sea and reach the other side of the sea smoothly.

Qiong Lang stopped on the wooden plank bridge, and the waves slapped against the wooden posts and wet a pair of wooden clogs under her feet.

"But whether it's a human or a monster, I never think that eternal life is painful. You don't understand it yet, but when you experience death, you will have a different feeling."

"You can do a lot of things while alive. You have been wandering around looking for death for hundreds of years. Have you ever paid attention to the other side of this world?"

Speaking of this, Qiong Lang gave her a quiet smile, "There are many secrets in this world that we don't know. Even if you have an endless lifespan, you may not be able to see every aspect of it. When you eat the heart of a mermaid and end your eternal life, it's true. Are you willing to die immediately?"

The Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni remained silent, but only clenched the mermaid heart in his hand.

Qiong Lang didn't wait for her to answer, but used his demon power to send her to the boat, and then watched the lonely figure of the eight hundred bhikkhuni disappear into the sea of ​​mist, never to be seen again.

After she returned to the house, Daitengu was still sitting on the side of the baby's bed without saying a word, resting his chin on one hand and staring at Tan Sheng in a daze, his face was still a little unhappy.

"Are you still dissatisfied with the Eight Hundred Bhikkuni?"

Seeing her return to the room, Datengu came back to his senses and shook his head, then hesitantly asked: "You...you didn't take what she said to heart, did you?"

"Which sentence are you referring to?" Qiong Lang raised his eyebrows.

"You...forget it, it's nothing." Big Tengu hesitated for a moment, and finally coughed lightly and asked, "Is that so-called mermaid heart real? Where did you get it?"

Qiong Lang couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips, and sat down beside him.

"It was given to me by a senior who once visited this sea area, but it was useless to me, so it has been put on hold."

"Senior? Who would give you such a rare treasure?" Big Tengu rolled his eyes around and became vigilant. His memory couldn't find that she had mentioned this monster. "Then senior is male or female?"

"It's a male."

Hearing this, the big tengu's face suddenly became very subtle.

Qiong Lang looked at him, couldn't help laughing out loud, worried that Tan Sheng would be disturbed, she quickly covered her mouth, and whispered: "But he has already gone to another world, and he will never be seen again."

Hearing this, Daitengu breathed a sigh of relief.

Realizing that there seemed to be something wrong with his reaction, he quickly coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Is that so, then don't be sad..."

"En." Qiong Lang nodded, and leaned on him wearily, and the big dog stopped her.

The night passed, and the morning sun had already fallen on the sea. The warm orange sunlight passed through the window and warmly sprinkled on the face, which was comfortable and warm.

Qiong Lang couldn't help yawning, then raised his hand and pointed out the window, Big Tengu subconsciously looked in the direction she pointed.

In the distance, the unfinished stars and the warm sun rising from the sea hang in the blue sky, reflecting the deep blue sea sparklingly.

"Change your name."

"Ok?"

"From now on... this place will still be called Yunwuhai, how about it?"

"Cloud and Mist Sea...? Compared with the name Luochahai, it is indeed more appropriate." Big Tengu said, also staring into the distance.

The morning mist is dense on the sea, making the whole sea area look like a sky surrounded by clouds, which is very beautiful.

The sea breeze blows in bursts, blowing away the mist and then gathering it together. In the huge sea area, there is only one small boat undulating in the waves, as if it has entered the fairyland of Penglai by mistake.

Eight hundred bhikkhuni sat in the narrow boat and let the boat carry her to the distance. There was nothing in the sea, but at this time she did not feel lonely.

At this moment, she was looking absently at the sky above her head, holding a short self-defense blade that she usually carried with her in her hand.

At this moment, the morning star that has not disappeared, the white moon that is still hanging in the sky, and the birth sun are embedded in the blue sky, dispelling the coldness of the night.

This was a beautiful scene she had never seen before. The picture of the golden sun dipping into the sky was as beautiful as the bloody setting sun at dusk. She was in a trance, and she realized that she had never noticed this scene in the past 800 years.

The warm sunshine shone on her face, gradually warming up her icy body, and even her heart, which hadn't been beating for a long time, began to vibrate, giving birth to a surprisingly soft and peaceful mood.

No, not an illusion.

She subconsciously covered her chest, and could feel her strong heartbeat. The time that had been stagnant for 500 years finally continued to flow on her body, and tears dripped on her clothes.

Eternal life is over.

After hundreds of years of longing, this scene finally came. She thought that she would insert the dagger into her chest without hesitation, wantonly and freely.

But at this moment, perhaps the fulfillment of her long-cherished wish made her feel free from attachment and pain, and her state of mind changed unconsciously, but a different kind of emotion arose in the heart of Bhikkhuni Eight Hundred, which made her hesitate to pick up the sharp knife.

The sea wind kept blowing, the boat was hidden in the sea fog, and the shadow could no longer be seen.
