Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

After finishing her and confirming that the movement of the magic circle had stopped, I walked in the direction of Kek Le Temple without saying a word.

I searched and searched.But everything was gone, only the remains of a few buildings and ashes as far as the eye could see.

"It's over here." Tong Mo waved at me.

I stumbled and ran over, and saw Qin Ye's pale face under the black robe he uncovered.

Only the head of the spirit body seems to be left, and the rest is broken.

"Qin Ye, Qin Ye..."

Tears that haven't been shed for hundreds of years are gushing from my dry eye sockets again at this moment.

Why does the heart have feelings?The last time my heart hurt this much was when I lost Xiao Bai.

Thank you and sorry.

If that person can't say, what can't be done, let me do it for him.

Qin Ye opened those green eyes and looked at me blankly, "Miss Ran, what's the matter... what's the matter with me?"

I tried to squeeze out a smile: "Qin Ye, don't be afraid, listen to me. You can't stay in this place, go, go far away, go to the bright place, your relatives will be there waiting for you , Got it? I will help you pray, but you have to work hard, try to fly upwards, just like the day you ran out of the house with your child and tried your best, remember?"

She frowned and looked at me quietly.

"Don't cry." She said, "I didn't blame Miss Ran. Although it was only a short period of time, it seems that we are already good friends."

I nodded: "Well! We are good friends! I like the dim sum made by Qin Ye the most! If, if there is an afterlife...I still want to sit and chat with you and eat dim sum!"

Qin Ye smiled.

I knelt and sat in the ashes on the ground, and began to recite the "Heart Sutra" silently.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you practice the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, you will see that the five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all hardships...

... Because of no gain, Bodhisattva, according to Prajna Paramita, there is no hindrance in the heart, no hindrance, no terror, far away from reversing dreams, and finally Nirvana.

Please, Xiaobai, please, help me.

I know I am not a qualified god, but please save Qin Ye, please bring her to the light, to a place where there is no more suffering.

Qin Ye's eyes looked at the sky, and in the peaceful green, the light gradually brightened, like a flower resurrected from the dead.

"Ah, Miss Ran, I seem to see that there is a light in the sky."

"Yes, just go there, don't look back, don't think about anything." I told her resolutely.

She tried to turn her gaze away.

"My lord," she murmured.

Tong Mo immediately posted it with a smile on his face.

"I'm here, Xiaoqinye." His voice was still gentle and pleasant.

"What should I do, my lord...always act like a child." Qin Ye's tears finally slid down her cheeks.

"I can't forgive you at all. You ate Zhizi and the others, and I also ate me. I remember all these things, and I can't forgive you at all..."

"But...but...I still hope...you will be happy."

"My lord, please be happy..."

The expression on Tong Mo's face disappeared, it seemed that his usually bright mouth and mind had all stopped functioning.

"Happiness……"

He whispered to himself, as if he was very unfamiliar with this word that he had spoken to his believers thousands of times.

Qin Ye's soul closed her eyes, turning into white light spots and floating towards the sky.

"Ah, by the way, Xiaoqin Ye, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you."

Tong Mo suddenly smiled, and said in a very gentle tone:

"Inosuke has grown into a very powerful boy. I saw it with my own eyes. I recognized it as your son at a glance. He is really outstanding, and he is as strong and brave as you."

I saw the girl's last smile, and she said: That's great.

In the torrent of fate, boundless for a hundred years, it is great to meet in the sea of ​​people.

Even if the final result is discrete, we still learn a lot.

If there is fate, I hope to meet again.

If there is no chance to see you again, I hope you are somewhere to start a new life.

Friends, family, loved ones, it's all the same.

Watching the last bit of white light disappear into the sky, I stood up, patted the dust on my body, turned and walked to the depths of the wasteland.

"Is Xiaoran going to escape too?"

Tong Mo's voice sounded behind me, but he didn't follow.

"Yes. Let's go separately, Master Tong Mo."

I don't want to look back, not at all, even if I know that ghost must be looking at me with that innocent expression now, standing alone in the boundless emptiness and desolation, just like all the things he has spent hundreds of years Like the years.

If I turned around, he would immediately flash a sticky smile and keep me with the sweet words he used with incomparable proficiency.

I am not Qin Ye, I can escape.

This time he didn't catch up.

I don't know how long I walked in the wasteland, and I remembered many things during this time.

That year, Bai should have been six or seven years old.I can't always remember the age of human beings.

She is a precocious girl. Since she entered the shrine, she has spent every day in the library, where the maids taught her how to read and write. Although it is not the duty of the priestess, these girls generally only need to learn scriptures and Kagura.But Bai likes to read very much, and he learns quickly, so he only entered the shrine for about two years, and he was able to read various scriptures to me.

"Xiaobai Xiaobai, do you know what this passage means?" It is colorless in the air, no thoughts, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, colorless sound, fragrance, touch, vision, and even unconsciousness... ...'"

I flicked my tail impatiently and knocked out the book in her hand.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you." She picked up the book and sat down seriously, "This passage is about the emptiness of the human heart and the essence of Dharma. All the smells you feel, Color, even touch, is not real."

What the hell, I don't want to hear it.

I have eaten so many little girls before, and I have never seen such a nagging one, which is even better than the old monk in the temple.

I slept next to her all day, accompanied by incense and scriptures. Although she was noisy, the shrine was very cool, and I didn't want to move.Besides, she's the only human who doesn't scream when she sees me.

Gradually, I also discovered that Bai's eyes are very special. She seems to be able to see things that others cannot see, even things that only I can see.Sometimes the aura of the people who entered the shrine would make her feel disgusted, so I deliberately knocked the offerings off the table to the ground, and the visitors couldn't understand why the things fell to the ground inexplicably, so they were frightened and fled.I can't help laughing for nothing, seeing her laughing makes me feel happy too for no reason.

Sometimes she would stare blankly at a certain part of the shrine, and I would notice some strange-shaped spirits there, or dark shadows that came in quietly. No matter what it is, it will disappear in an instant.

Bai would jump over and hug me even more happily, and say nonsense like "Xiao Bai is the best!"

I am a god, little guy, of course I am amazing.

I thought proudly.

Human beings always want something from me. No matter how special you are, you are only a small human being, so there will be no exceptions.

We have not encountered ghosts.There is a huge wisteria tree planted behind the shrine, and humans say that ghosts are afraid of that thing.I never worry about which ghost dares to enter my territory.

After another year, the child grew a lot taller, but he was too thin, with little flesh on his body, and his teeth seemed to be clogged.

The books she read are more profound, and the people are more wild.

It’s okay in autumn and winter, I’m too lazy to move. When it’s raining and snowing outside, we’ll huddle together in her room with a charcoal stove to warm the fire. Sometimes she’ll dig two sweet potatoes from the vegetable garden and roast them on the fire. It was mushy, and her face was covered in black ashes after eating, which made the maid who took care of her extremely collapsed.

The most terrible thing is that she would stuff sweet potatoes into my mouth, and my mouth was full of sweet and sticky things, which was really disgusting.

There are so many things to play in summer.There is a mountain behind the shrine. She likes to sneak up to the mountain during the day and stay there for a whole day. There are streams and wild fruits on the mountain, so she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking.The maid would look for her at first, but then she probably ran away very frequently and would come back safely every time, so as long as she finished her homework, she would simply let her go.

Of course it was safe and sound, and I followed it every time.

I also like that mountain. I like places that are far away from the smell of humans.I like the place where I can soak in the cool water in the stream, and I like the place where I can catch small animals such as wild boars or goats as snacks.So we each take what we need.After going up the mountain, she usually finds a piece of grass to read a book or to be in a daze, or she uses me as a mat to sleep.There you can also see the Arakawa flowing like a blue jade belt at the bottom of the mountain. Seeing my own river always makes me feel at ease.

At night, she caught fireflies on the mountain, carried them back to the shrine in a sarong, watched them glow, and let them fly away before dawn.Occasionally some strange things pass by on the mountain at night, but with me following, nothing dares to approach this little human girl.

The downside is that even if you bask in the sun on the mountain, you can't escape the bombardment of her scriptures.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, let me ask you—'All sentient beings: if they are born from eggs, if they are born from wombs, if they are born from moisture, if they are born by transformation; if they have form, if they don't have form; If it is not without thought, I will cause them to enter Nirvana without residue and save them. If you save countless and boundless sentient beings, there will be no sentient beings who will be saved. What does this sentence mean?"

I'm so used to it, I don't even bother to lift my eyelids.Can anyone tell me what an eight-year-old girl in an ordinary human family is doing at this time?This kid is really abnormal.

"This is a saying in the "Diamond Sutra". There is an explanation later, 'If a Bodhisattva has the appearance of a self, a person, a sentient being, and a life, he is not a Bodhisattva'. It probably means that all living beings are equal, even ghosts. , or Xiaobai, are all human beings, and they are all worthy of love and cherishment, and Bodhisattvas will save all beings without distinction."

This time I understand.What's the matter with this child, I am a god, how can I be compared with humans and ghosts!

So I was dissatisfied and flicked her book again.

She happily picked up the book, like a puppy who can only pick up balls.

"It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that there are actually three thousand worlds in the world, as many as the sand in a river!"

The little girl lay on me, looking at the clouds in the sky and said.

"Xiaobai, one day we can go to see those worlds. I heard that along the Arakawa, we can go all the way to the sea. There is a big boat on the seaside. Get on the boat and go to other worlds. , I want to see how people in other worlds live, do they have fathers and mothers..."

At this point, she stopped suddenly, and continued, "If possible, I will take Xiaobai with me, because Xiaobai is my first friend."

Idiot, I hate the sea, the water there is salty and bitter, not as good as my Arakawa.

Besides, what is a friend, can it be eaten?

"Friends are people who understand and cherish each other." The girl smiled and put a morning glory picked by the roadside on my head. The scales of the snake were very smooth, and the flower was blown to nowhere by the wind quickly. When it was gone, she reluctantly put another one on.

"Friends will quarrel, but no matter when, you can't give up on each other."

Ding.

The silver bell rang.The child in my memory, still combing her doll hair, looks like she will never stop at the age of eight or nine.

——Xiaobai, have you found those worlds yet?

She asked.

——Have you ever been to those distant worlds beyond the sea?

I shook my head with a wry smile.

No, I'm not going anywhere because I'm in hell.I feel that I have lost an important person, and my heart hurts. It seems that there is no way to get out.

--Why?Did you quarrel with that kid?

The girl had a vaguely serious expression on her face, as if she was going to read another scripture to me soon.

——Don't quarrel.I told you, if you give up, he will disappear, it will really disappear, like a snowflake.

——You said you would find him, just like I found Xiaobai.So you can't give up, you have to find the sea along the direction of the river before you can go out.

I woke up on a branch of a certain petrified forest. This place is the same as the Realm of Karmic Fire. It is day and night. There is not even a blood moon as a reference standard, and I don't know how much time has passed.I tried to feel the flow of psychic energy in the environment, but they seemed to be disorganized and I didn't know what to do.

I simply jumped off the tree and walked in a certain direction based on my intuition.

If I have his blood in my body, I should be able to find it.Previously, I only heard that higher-ranking ghosts could perceive lower-ranking ghosts with ghost blood, but I had never heard that lower-ranking ghosts could perceive in reverse.Maybe it's because I don't know enough about creatures like ghosts, after all, I've never encountered such a thing.

Wait, what a weird idea!What high and low ranks, I'm not even a ghost!I am God!Although he is half-baked, he is also a god!

It's okay, I just accidentally met a ghost with a brain flood, and accidentally drank his blood, which caused me to have a brain flood. This is normal, and it doesn't matter.

While comforting myself, I walked slowly in the fossil forest. I don’t know how long I walked, and I vaguely saw an open space in the distance. There were a few black things on the open space, which seemed to be the remains of buildings.

I got excited and ran over in a few steps.

There was no one around, there was silence, only the whimpering of the wind.

Ah... gone?

Well, ghost blood is really unreliable, or it may be because of unreliable ghosts, blood is not very reliable.

I still use the most primitive method.

"Tong Mo!" I started yelling frantically.

"Tong Mo! Where are you?"

"Tong Mo! Get out of here! I'm going to cut off your head!"

"Hey... Is it Xiaoran?" A familiar low-key voice came from the woods not far away, but it sounded a little weak.

I ran over and saw the ghost sitting against a dead tree, it was a great time to relax.

I felt my teeth rattling, and I wanted to kill this smiling rascal right away.

"You haven't moved your place for so many days? Do you need me to find a soft sedan to carry you, my lord?"

The ghost blinked his big colored glazed eyes, and professional tears immediately fell down.

"I'm so touched, Xiaoran really didn't escape..."

……

The anger just disappeared.Sure enough, hearing his voice, no one can get angry... right?

I pulled him with a sullen face, but I didn't pull him up.

"What's the matter with you?" I noticed that something was wrong with him, the burn marks on his neck seemed to be still there and hadn't recovered.

"Ah, I'm so hungry that I can't move anymore." Tong Mo smiled shamelessly, "I haven't eaten for a long time. Besides, if there is no Xiaoran, I don't know the way. But I know you will definitely come back, This is the mysterious predictive ability of being a child of God."

What the hell is the mysterious prescience, is it blood ghosts?

I was annoyed and laughed.

So I stretched out my hand to him, and the evil spirit bit my wrist, sucking blood and spiritual power wildly, it seemed that I was really hungry.

Alas, I knew I shouldn't swallow that god alone, and I forgot that this guy probably hasn't eaten since he entered the Temple of Bliss.

After sucking for a while, he stopped, licking the blood from the corner of his mouth clean before exhaling.

"Ah, I feel better now."

I was angry and funny: "You are too picky eaters, you can't do this, Master Tong Mo."

"Why not?" Ghost said confidently, "I only have Xiaoran as a believer now, and I want Xiaoran's offering."

"I'm not your believer," I held his hand. The bones of that hand were slender, hard and cold, not at all like the gentleness and elegance that the owner of the hand pretended to pretend to be.

"Forget, I'm your friend."

Tong Mo seemed startled for a moment.

It's really interesting, the first time I saw the moment when the ghost expression management failed.

It seems that he still needs to recover for a while, so I simply sat down against the tree, and as expected, he asked that very classic sentence.

"Hey, Xiaoran... what is a friend? Can't you eat it?"

"Well... it's best not to eat it." I thought for a while and told him, "Because a friend is the one who will never give up on you no matter what. If you encounter difficulties, he will definitely come to help you."

It is the person who is worried about your pale face, cooks the food you don't like, and forces you to eat it.

It is the person who sings in front of you, laughs and throws flower petals, for fear that you will be lonely.

It is the person who warms up by the fire in winter and catches fireflies in summer.

It is a person who walks along the way, follows the direction of the river, and finds the sea.

"Sure enough, I still don't understand." The ghost beside him sighed softly.

"But it sounds good, so I want to be Xiaoran's friend too. So where will Xiaoran take me next?"

What you said, why does it seem that I am responsible for him?

"We keep going until we get out."
