The honest person is you

-21-

Among the ashes is the future between you and that person.

In the ashes you see a faint gleam of reunion—although it almost seems like a spark.

But even so, it's capable of lighting your heart up again.

……

……

Both Zhu Jin and Osmanthus thought that your original body had come to an end, so they strongly advised you to leave Penglai and go outside to continue seeking immortality.

However, in the face of their "good intentions", you are indifferent.

Taohua asks you: "Why is my sister unwilling to leave now?"

Because you want to see the result of that Yi Gua, you want to know whether it can really fulfill reality... This is one of the reasons.

The more important reason is that you are also waiting for the "resurrection of the master".

The scenes that keep popping up in your mind make your heart hard to be at peace, if you just leave like this, it will only make your knot heavier and heavier.

Penglai, Grand Master and Mrs. Bian are all the gullies that you can't forget in your heart.

You also want to witness Mrs. Bian's success or failure.

Mrs. Bian told you in the face of "lotus", you will surely succeed and usher in the resurrection of the master.

"At that time, we can reunite..."

She is always saying "reunion", as if saying it a thousand times can make it true.

You stare at the bliss butterflies that are about to be hatched, and the day when the huge ship is getting closer to the sea.

According to Mrs. Bian's plan, you all have to leave Penglai and go to the outside world—but you know, this ship will bring huge disasters to the outside world.

Those who landed on the island, the death row prisoner, and Yamada Asemon all tried to prevent the plan from proceeding.The shogunate also sent more people, the ninjas from Ninja Village, and other beheaders from Yamada Asemon's family.

People from outside are pouring into the dry lake continuously.

Among them, there are many people with outstanding talents. After landing on the island, they quickly learned how to use the "Qi" in their bodies, and the Dragon God could no longer stop them.

Chrysanthemum, Peach Blossom, and Zhu Jin went to Yingzhou and Abbot one after another, in order to prevent those people from entering Penglai to destroy the plan of "Lotus".

The turbulent "qi" surged in the dry lake, like the wind and waves in the sea, and huge ships were transported out of the palace and docked on the shore to wait.

"Lian" said to you: "It's tonight..."

The day she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

At this moment, your origin (noumenon) and the body of the celestial being are briefly separated, and everything outside is isolated, and you hold your breath like a "lotus", staring at the master who has become a tree.

In order to prevent the corpse from rotting, the metallization method was used to make the figure of the master extremely magnificent.

At that moment, you actually felt the same way as her, looking forward to the "reunion" she said.

"Lian" told you that the last thing to do before the ship departs is to get rid of those humans who broke into Penglai.

She entrusted this task to you.

"Go..."

Her face is hidden in the sunset light, you look at this face, but what you see on this "celestial" face is a "mother" look.

Your closed heart gradually opens like a flower petal.

……

……

Mei didn't stay in that village to wait for you, but led those who broke into Kuze into Penglai.

When she saw you, she showed a flustered expression, as if she had done something sorry to you, while you watched her calmly.

The strange atmosphere between you made those who came with her suspicious.

The female ninja "turned on her head" and asked her: "Do you know her?"

Mei, who had the attitude of a little girl, grabbed the hem of her clothes, lowered her head and nodded.

She whispered, "...I'm sorry."

Mei feels that she has not fulfilled her agreement with you, and she actually cares about this matter very much, but after getting along with these people who landed on the island and listening to what they said, Mei couldn't help being shaken in her heart.

Everyone is in pursuit of what they desire, so they come to Kuze.But those desires are not all greedy evil desires, they are as pure as your pursuit of immortality in the past.

Thrushcross, who was born in Ninja Village, is called "Wuxin's Thrush", but what keeps him alive is his little wish to go back and see his wife.

Thrushcross's wife "Jie" told him that no matter how many wrong things he has done, as long as there is one person who is willing to forgive him, then he still has the right to live on.

This is the belief that supports Thrushcross to today.

Mei said that she still wanted to say goodbye to "Lian" and Grand Master.

"You must have returned to Penglai for this reason." Mei looked at you, and she said that you looked sad too.

You whispered: "Is there?"

Mei nodded, and she said that although she didn't know what you went through outside, she felt that those things changed you.

"In the past, you wouldn't show this kind of expression." Mei said, "This kind of..."

Such a lonely look.

Mei's strength is the weakest among the gods, and her character is also the most cowardly, but now she says to you: "I want to leave Penglai with you, but I also want to stop Lian."

You asked her back: "Don't you want the master to come back to life?"

Back in those days, Mei followed the Grand Master, and she once asked the Grand Master what the "immortal way" they were pursuing.

The master only said that Mei didn't need to think about such a complicated issue.

The Grandmaster knows everyone's talent, and he also knows the character of the angels.Mei is not suitable for cultivating Taoism, because her heart is too weak to bear the cold and lonely suffering in the immortal way.

Life and death are both forms of Tao... Mei told you, this is what the master himself said.

"The Grandmaster will not want to be resurrected."

Mei, who was always wavering and showing a weak expression, said such words without hesitation.

Grandmaster will not want to be resurrected.

So, what about that person?

The person you are in love with, the person who made a "curse" with you to love forever, would he want you to resurrect him?

You think of the last look he gave you, the words he said to you.

"My descendants will continue to love you instead of me."

……

……

The ninja's figure is like a hidden shadow, and every move they make is shot like an arrow.Cooperating with the function of "Qi", "Ninfa.Fire Mage" completely enveloped the thrush pill in flames.

The unquenchable flame ignited the trees and flowers, and the surrounding chi, and more and more of those things were burning, and the flames shot straight into the sky.

And you don't rely on external objects, every movement drives a lot of "qi" to run.

Your qi tore apart those flames, and at the same time disrupted Thrushcross's qi.

Mei stood aside and watched you guys fight nervously. She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't know who to tell.

So you ask her through the gap, "Are you going to side with them?"

May would like to have a good talk with you - she has been thinking so for a long time.

At the beginning, you obviously wanted to leave Penglai because you didn't agree with Mrs. Bian's actions.After returning to Penglai, why should we help them?May doesn't understand why you did it.

"I'm not helping them."

You just... suddenly don't know what you're doing.

The past is like a dream, Penglai, Heianjing, the master, that person, you once thought that you were as solid as a rock, but in fact it was just an appearance.

The result displayed by Yi Gua, and what that person said to you when he was dying, all run through your mind.

Taking advantage of the moment when you fell into the silence of memories, May let the others go first.

You stared intently at her childish face.

May said to the men: "I'll stay and stop her."

Can she stop you?You just think she's overreaching.Let alone with her current strength, even in the past, she would not have been able to defeat you.

"I know." Mei also stared at you closely, "It is because I know so well that I do this."

May has had regrets in the past, and she wants to see you again and tell you how sorry she is.

"If only I hadn't hesitated..."

Mei doesn't feel that she has such a great power to interfere with you, but she has realized your deep-seated feelings about her hesitation.

That was your disappointment with her in the past.

"I'm sorry," May said, "but I couldn't muster up the courage to leave with you."

She also feels very sorry that she has not had a good talk with you all this time.

No one's heart can really be as solid as a rock all the time, because there is no such thing as a truly perfect saint, and everyone has their own flaws, so no one has ever truly achieved "becoming a fairy".

Mei, who seems the weakest to you, is also the only one who sees through your weakness.

Obviously you haven't said a few words... It's obvious that you were just using her not long ago.

Maybe she also noticed at that time that you didn't give her sincerity.But she loves you whether you love her or not.

True love can melt all cold hearts.

In the distance, a soaring flame was ignited—that was the direction of the ship. Counting the time, the ship was about to set sail.

Even if they took the shortest road, by the time Thrushcross and the others arrived at the place where the boat started, the boat had already sailed far away.

Is there no other way?

Mei put them on a boat, and she planned to enter the "ghost disintegration" state to help them rush to Lian.

But in this case, Mei, who was unable to store "Qi" in the first place, would also die because of exhausting the "Qi" in her body.

Only then did she finally confess that in her current state, she wouldn't live long.

You felt her weakness when you landed on the island. This weakness makes her lose her last vitality at any time.

It was at this moment that you stabbed your hand into your chest and took out the "ovule" in this body.

"If you have this, you can live for a while longer." You said.

Mei held the ovule you stuffed into her hand in a daze, but soon she also realized——

"If you give this to me, what are you going to do..."

Until now, Mei, like the other angels, thinks that you are also on the verge of ending with your own body, so you have to return to Penglai with this appearance.

"My true origin, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it."

Although you told the truth, you still didn't tell her more specific circumstances.The celestial body lost its ovules, and it couldn't last long.

Now you have only one thought left.

"I performed a hexagram for this matter, and the hexagram told me that among the people who landed on the island this time, eight people will survive..."

You have already met Grandmaster and Mrs. Bian again. Today’s Penglai is no longer your former home, and everything can’t go back to the past.

Mrs. Bian asked you to come out to "solve" them in the end, but she actually hoped that you could leave.

After you performed Yi Gua, she also tried again in the same way.

That was also not the result she was expecting—it is impossible for your "family" to be reunited.

Mrs. Bian hopes that you and she can "reunite" with the Grandmaster, and she doesn't want you to see her failure, so she deliberately dismissed you after knowing the doomed ending.

That was her last love for you.

The love of younger brothers and sisters for their sisters, and the love of parents for their children, ignited a fire in Penglai, engulfing all those emotions in the fire.

The whole sky was burning.

……

……

After the celestial body collapsed in Horai, you opened your eyes at Kamo's house.

What you can see is the familiar cherry tree in the garden, and there is a person talking beside you.

He is the current head of the Kamo family, his name may be Yehei, or Tadanobu...you can't remember.

It's not that your memory is so bad, it's just that you don't take them to heart, so you don't even want to spare a little effort to remember their names and faces.

He sat down beside you respectfully and yearningly.

——At this moment, he is expressing his heart to you.

The Kamo family is the continuation of the Kamo family, not only the continuation of the "Red Blood Manipulation Art" handed down in the family, but also the curse that has been integrated into the blood.

That person once tolerated and pampered you almost without a bottom line. He accepted everything about you, good and bad, all of which were borne by him.

He loves you, and is willing to violate the "righteousness" of the family for you, and is willing to only look at you from the beginning to the end, just as you are willing to do anything for him, he also has the same love for you.

So the descendants who are connected with that person's blood, many years after his death, still love you madly.Men and women are showing their love to you. They dedicate their body and mind to you, holding countless treasures for you, beautiful clothes and ornaments, gold jars and rain...

It's a pity that no treasure can make you look sideways.

So, you just glanced at him, asked his name, and he talked to you a lot with great delight.

"Zhongcheng."

His name is Kamo Chusumi.

Your voice is like an oracle to them.You called him that endearingly and asked him if he would do something for you.

Before waiting for you to give a more specific explanation, he hastily agreed.

Kamo Zhongcheng said that he is willing to do anything for you.

— as if you would do anything for that person.

So you tell him, "I need a part of you...flesh."

There is a more accurate, and crueler method of divination, which you have heard from Ashiya Doman - but you have not tried it.
