Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

Xia Hua, who hadn't returned to the human world for more than half a year, returned to her former residence at this time today.Looking at the Kyoto in front of her from the top of the mountain with Ming Dou, she missed the past experience in her heart.Living here, waiting for Mingdou to come out from the main family, and then go together to defeat Shuten-douji-for a while, all the experiences began to revolve in her heart, and Xia Hua felt as if she had been liberated in a long nightmare.

There is no need to hate any more, and everything has finally returned to the starting point as she wished.

"What do you plan to do in the future?" Ming Dou looked at the capital in the distance, silently retracted his gaze and asked softly: "'Shuten-douji' no longer exists, you are free."

"..." Xia Hua nodded, but felt a sense of strangeness when she looked at Jingdu.Now that she has become a demon, it is impossible for her to return to her identity as a human being. "I've become a monster, so I'm afraid I won't be able to step into the capital." She looked at him with a wry smile at this moment, "Mingdou is a human being, and I can continue to work hard for my ideal of becoming a powerful onmyoji..." And Behind them, the boy in the purple kimono was looking at them with a pair of curious eyes. At this time, the breeze was blowing, and his red hair was long to the neck, while the short hair was flying, and there was an itchy feeling on the neck.

He couldn't understand what was being said between them, but he felt an unbreakable silence spread in the air.

"..." Ming Dou looked at Xia Hua, and a certain smiling face appeared in his mind again.At this time, he was already disheartened, even though he liked the person in front of him so much, even if she became a demon, he still liked her that much.But facing Yu Daoyin's death, Ming Dou regards this as the biggest mistake in his life.He was ashamed of Yu Daoyin, and the guilt in his heart made him unable to like Xia Hua any longer - he could only protect her.

That day after I, Hua Piao and the others worked together to get Shuten-douji out of hell, Shuten-douji became like this when everyone's power dissipated.There was no demonic power, no thoughts, and even An Gang in his hand disappeared at that time.And when faced with the "Jiutun-douji" who has nothing, Yu Daoan wanted to continue to kill him, but was stopped by Hua Piao: "Jiutun-douji is dead..."

If 'Shuten-douji' is dead, then what is this guy in front of him?

Without any demonic power and arrogant and cruel character, the 'Shuten-douji' in front of him is no different from a human being.

"Then you guys take it to Kyoto..." When everyone parted, Yu Daoan said: "As long as it is confirmed to be 'Shuten Doji', I will come and kill him no matter what happens." In this battle, there were actually a lot of casualties between the Fox Clan and Edo monsters, and Yu Dao'an's physical strength had reached its limit, and he didn't even have the strength to hold a razor. "Let's go..." Bai, who was expelled from the tribe by the Fox Clan, was also supporting her by her side, and after saying goodbye to Ming Dou and the others, he turned around and left with the Fox Clan...

Yu Dao Yin's death is the pain of all of us, but this time it is Yu Dao An who hurt the most...Mingdou's "I'm sorry" and Xia Hua's "I'm sorry", no matter how many times I say Yu Dao An is still powerless Listen, it is precisely because of this that the Shuten-douji who caused everyone so much pain must disappear, and he must not be allowed to live in this world again and return to hell—let him linger in pain forever.

"..." Xia Hua looked at the 'Jiutun Doji' behind her at this time, and when she slowly turned her head and was about to say something, a figure came from behind them—"Xia Hua..." Hearing this voice, he could Guessing who it was, Xia Hua immediately turned around and looked over, and Chitose Ashiya and Ayi were standing in front of her.The unbearable sadness and joy intertwined for a while, Xia Hua rushed up to hug her while tears welled up in her eyes. "Silly child." Chitose accepted her with satisfaction, held her in his arms and stroked her head.I haven't seen each other for nearly two years, Xia Hua grew up all of a sudden as if she had experienced a lot, her waist-length hair was soft and smooth because of her transformation into a monster, falling straight down like a jet-black waterfall Now, the original bright blue eyes not only dimmed a lot, they were even so deep that it made one's heartache.

Shuten Doji, how has he treated her in the past two years?

"..." Chitose Ashiya took a deep breath, turned his eyes to Mingdou and a boy he had never met before, "What happened?" Ai asked Chitose Ashiya at this time. , Ming Dou looked at the young man beside him, took a deep breath and began to tell them all the story...

"You mean...'Shuten-douji' is dead?" Ashiya Chitose and Ayi listened to Mingtou coming together, looked at each other and began to be a little unbelievable. Will he tell himself to help the Fox Clan and others to defeat Shuten Doji, and even Mingdou and Xia Hua will meet there...everything he hears makes Ashiya Chitose feel a bit of suspense, after all, he can't believe Shuten The boy died? !

"So we brought him here and wanted to ask Master how to deal with him..." Ming Dou said this, Xia Hua looked at Shuten Douji who was looking at herself with doubts at this moment: "It's okay, Master I won't hurt you." Xia Hua was actually hesitant, at that time they did hit Shuten-douji, but at the moment when the light faded, "Shuten-douji" fell to the ground and got up again, what did they do? Can't remember either.

"Who am I...?" Facing Yu Dao'an's assassination, he hardly had the strength to resist at all.If Xia Hua hadn't taken the initiative to protect him, the boy in front of him would have died long ago.Hua Piao also said at the time, "Shuten Doji is indeed dead, because he can't feel any evil spirit in him." '

Then who is Shuten-douji in front of him?Is it human?

Ashiya Chitose walked into him at this time, took out the talisman and floated it in front of Shuten-douji, quickly took off the talisman and said: "He is human..." As soon as Ashiya Chitose finished speaking, Xia Hua and Mingdou suddenly He stared at him with wide eyes: "Is it really...human?"

"Actually, I don't know the details..." Chitose Ashiya frowned while looking at him, "But... we still have to be careful." "Be careful?" Ming Dou and Xia Hua said in unison, and Ah Yi also immediately explained, "Shuten-douji was originally a monster transformed from a human, and the current situation is probably... the original Shuten-douji..."

"The first one? Shuten-doji is a human being?!" Ming Dou stared at the boy with wide eyes, and the boy stood behind Xia Hua as if he didn't understand anything.For some reason, the boy felt that the girl named Kasahara Natsuka in front of him could always put him at ease, while the rest looked at him as if he were looking at a monster.

"Although I don't know why... But if you look at the changes in people's hearts, it makes sense." Chitose Ashiya stretched out his hand to pinch his chin at this time and said: "If the demon heart is purified, then the original human beings will also be purified." Change back?"

"Purification? I didn't use that kind of power at that time." Ming Dou shook his head, vetoing his use of the purification formation.Besides, he hated Shuten-douji so much, how could he kindly help him purify?Yes, I wish I could kill him and make him disappear forever...

"Then, Shuten-douji's heart as a monster was destroyed by you..." Ayi thought of such a situation, and brought it up without thinking: "Shuten-douji's heart as a monster was destroyed, then replace it with Has the original human heart returned?" The Yaoxin symbolizes the monster Shuten-douji, which means that the monster Shuten-douji is dead... Is the one in front of you the first human Shuten-douji?The human heart fell asleep for too long, did he come out after the demonized him died?

"But...why can't we kill him?" Just as Ming Dou said this, Ashiya Chitose suddenly thought of the time on the sealing tower—"An Gang protected the human being..." Ashiya Chitose deduced step by step, "Even though An Gang can kill people and monsters, it is still an artifact with supernatural powers. If at that moment Shuten-dou asked An Gang to protect the human self and sacrifice the monster self..." Xia Hua was stunned at this point After a while, she slowly opened her mouth: "Start everything over again..." She looked at the young man beside her at this moment, and said in unison with Ming Dou and the others in her heart: "The Shuten-douji in front of me will slowly change back... …

"But! It will take hundreds of years for Shuten-douji to become a monster..." Ming Dou said softly at this time, he looked up at the boy, and his heart suddenly became chaotic: "Suddenly become that Shuten-douji ,Totally impossible……"

"..." Chitose Ashiya lowered his eyes at this moment, pondered for a moment, and then said, "As long as he can't become that Shuten-douji." "Master Chitose..." Ayi looked at him at this time with a puzzled expression on his face Asked: "Aren't you going to hand him over to Abe-sama and the others?"

"The Shuten-douji in front of me has become a human being. As long as you look at him carefully, he won't be able to become a monster." Chitose Ashiya looked at Xia Hua at this moment, and his tone softened a lot: "Even if you become a monster, you are still mine. apprentice."

"..." Xia Hua was stunned for a moment, then she raised her head and gradually showed a gratified smile: "Thank you...Master..."

——Outside the town of Kyoto, an old hut has not been entered for two years.But when Xia Hua came there, she found that the corridor and the room were clean.

"...Thank you, Miss Ayi." Xia Hua stood in the courtyard and thanked Ashiya Chitose and the others. At this moment, she felt that she was able to return to this small wooden house again, which was really an indescribable joy and joy. "I didn't expect you to come to help me clean this place all the time. I really appreciate you."

"What are you talking about? In fact, when you left, I believed...you will definitely come back." At this moment, Ayi reached out and hugged Xia Hua, and after letting go, he stood behind Ashiya Chitose.

"Xia Hua... do you really want to live here and not go to Kyoto?" Ashiya Chitose looked at her, with a hint of unbearable in his eyes, "The current Shuten-douji is just a human being. No one would recognize him as Shutendouji..."

"Actually, I was a monster when I was born... No matter how master helps me hide it, it will be meaningless in the end..." Xia Hua smiled lightly, and continued: "I have to face the reality, and let me take care of the wine. Tun Tongzi can be regarded as the only thing I can do, I don't want to be unable to help any of you..."

"Don't say that, Xia Hua, you are still a human being in our eyes!" As soon as Ayi finished speaking, Ming Dou said, "If Shuten-douji turns back again, what are you going to do?" As if asking Like her, Xia Hua felt Ming Dou's seriousness—"...I won't let this happen." She said rightly, because she had made up her mind at this moment.In order not to reappear the lonely Shuten-douji at that time, Xia Hua decided to stay with him forever from now on...and this is also her little wish.

At that moment when the iron fan pierced one of his shoulders, the young man in the sea of ​​flowers exuding strong resentment because of loneliness and betrayal emerged in his mind. Blood, painful wailing and people's curses kept echoing in his ears. Hua also gradually understood his pain.

Since he was born, he has no one by his side to accompany him, and he has been surviving in the abyss of pain, wandering around, and even experienced too many betrayals and betrayals... When he was physically and mentally exhausted, he became a monster at the moment Without any hesitation, all he wanted was something that belonged to him.

But in the end, Shuten-douji still got nothing from the civil crusade in the Heian period, the Battle of Tamamo-mae 50 years ago, and now.And myself...she was born to make up for his loneliness.

"Xia Hua, come here." The memory that still hasn't faded moved in my mind. Dajiang Mountain was surrounded by a red leaf forest at this time, and standing in front of my eyes was a handsome monster holding a red leaf.At this moment, a light breeze blew up, the red hair fluttered gently, and the deep tenderness appeared in the golden pupils, which looked mesmerizing.And that big hand was holding me on the long road with fallen red leaves, laughing and singing.Followed Hongye around him, at that time, I didn't know his pain, and I didn't know his loneliness—nothing happened, and I just wanted to stay by his side purely.

"I want to stay by your side forever."

"Thank you for being born into this world."

Thank you for being there for me...and then...sorry...

In that ray of white light, his voice came to him through his heart, but it was so soft—"..." At this moment, a hand suddenly landed on her head, Xia Hua was taken aback for a moment, and immediately from her Waking up with memories. "You..." Looking up, she saw the red-haired boy in front of her looking at her silently at this moment, with anxiety and concern in those golden eyes, "Xia...Xia Hua..." The boy in front of her lowered her eyes. The voice asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong?"

"..." Xia Hua smiled at this moment and shook her head: "No, really not."

"Is that so..." The boy breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, then lowered his eyes and said to himself, "What Shuten-douji were you talking about just now... Who is that? Is it me?"

"..." Xia Hua didn't say anything, just looked into his eyes and said softly: "No, you are you, 'Shuten Doji' is no longer you."

"Then what should I be called in the future?" The young man suddenly smiled, took Xia Hua's hand with both hands and put it on his chest, "Xia Hua, is your surname Kasahara right? I want to have the same surname as you, but... Would it be like brother and sister in that case?" Xia Hua stared blankly at him, looked at his whole body carefully, and suddenly burst out laughing: "What's so good about Kasahara... I really don't care about naming. Not good at it, if I knew it earlier, I would have asked Master and Ming Dou to help you think about it."

"I don't want outsiders to name me..." The young man leaned his forehead against hers at this moment, Xia Hua was startled for a moment, she saw those golden eyes staring at her, and felt the other party's tenderness. The even breath fell on his face, and he blushed involuntarily.But at this moment—"Kasahara Boy..." He said this, Xia Hua suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud: "Who would choose such a strange name!"

"But, shouldn't Jiuten-doji have the surname 'Jiutun'?" The boy raised his head at this moment with a puzzled look on his face. "Just now I saw you say 'Shuten-douji' and 'Shuten-douji' so smoothly, why can't 'Kasahara-douji'?"

"..." Xia Hua was stunned at this moment, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Because that's not his real name."

"Ah, so what's his name?" The young man immediately became interested, and asked curiously, "Tell me, I really want to know." Seeing his expectant expression, Xia Hua stretched out her hand and let go of his name. In his ear, whispered to him.
