Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

Time flows quietly, and what is gone forever is the past.It has been almost a month since returning to Kyoto, and Xia Hua is slowly getting used to life outside of Kyoto.Of course, I don't feel any sadness or pain for having such a Shuten-douji by my side.The time with him made her happier than that in Dajiangshan, partly because she was free and no longer restricted by anything, partly because he was no longer that lonely monster...but it was far less than that In the Maple Leaf Forest, the first memory.

At this moment, she sat up from the grass and looked at the figure standing beside the river.At this time, the warm light from the sun made the clear lake behind him glow with sparkling light, as if it wanted to arouse her beating heartstrings—through the lake, the deep purple plain kimono reflected a luxurious light , his red hair fluttering around his neck, the back of the past seems to overlap with him at this time.

"Huh?" Shuten-douji turned his eyes to the back at this time, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "You're awake." He came directly to her and sat with her, hugging his knees and said: " I think you fell asleep on the grass just now, so I didn't wake you up."

"Is that so..." Xia Hua reached out and tapped her head at this moment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Maybe it's because of being too tired." Xia Hua herself didn't know what she was talking about, but recently she always felt that So sleepy, it may be that this isolated life is too quiet and warm, let yourself be so immersed in this place: "It's like dreaming..."

"Dream?" Jiu Tun-douji was stunned for a moment, and could not help but frowned slightly after hearing her words: "Did you start to feel dizzy just after waking up?" The moment it was placed on top of her head, a few images that were too close to be seen quickly flashed in my mind: "..."

"I don't know how Master and the others are doing in the capital..." Xia Hua at the side didn't feel anything strange about him, "There must be a lot of things to be busy..." As she spoke, she suddenly felt that all the strength in her body was on the rise. As if being emptied all of a sudden: "Space...Ji..." The vagueness along the line is that at the same time, the consciousness fades away, Xia Hua reached out to Shuten-douji's sleeve and fell into his arms without any warning—" Xia Hua?!" Jiu Tun Doji was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled her up: "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" He shouted hard, shook her a few times and saw those dark blue eyes. Slowly opened——

"Uh...I..." Xia Hua supported herself, raised her head and looked at him so worried about herself: "I'm fine." She couldn't help but pursed her lips, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe I'm too tired, I'll go Wash your face."

Xia Hua raised her spirits, then stood up and walked to the river, squatted down and stretched her hands into the river. "This is..." Suddenly a smear of bright red appeared in front of her eyes, Xia Hua noticed that the bright red totem on her left wrist seemed to be a bit larger than it was two years ago, and the red lines seemed to be alive. In the middle of the totem, it is printed on the bellflower that gradually changes from black to red.For some reason, Xia Hua suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart. She didn't know what this thing represented at all, and she didn't dare to tell Ashiya Chitose and the others about this mark.

"Xia Hua, you really..." Shuten-douji came over at this moment, standing behind her, he also saw this mark.

"what is this!?"

Suddenly, a picture of someone he had captured and looking at a mark similar to this flashed through his mind.As if someone else's memory suddenly appeared in his own mind, Shuten-douji had the realization for some reason: Is this him before he lost his memory?

If yes, then what did I do to her at that time?

"It's okay...it won't hurt me." Xia Hua was silent for a moment, then immediately shook her head and gave him a worry-free smile.But just as he was about to get up, he couldn't stand on his feet for a moment—"Wow!!" With a scream, Shuten-douji was splashed all over his body with water.

"..." It was just like a coincidence, the water splashed up suddenly seemed to consciously pull Shuten-douji back from his own world: "Natsu...Natsuka!?" Shuten-douji ran into the water without thinking Pull up Xia Hua.Because Xia Hua fell into the river, and when she was finally pulled up, she was soaked all over—"Ahem...cough cough!" After being choked by the water in her nose, Xia Hua was so uncomfortable that she couldn't stand up in time. He fell down by the river in embarrassment and coughed continuously.Shuten-douji was so stunned that he didn't know what to do, so he could only reach out and pat her on the back.

"...Pfft..." But looking at her, Jiu Tun-douji had the urge to laugh for some reason, although he knew it was not good, but his actions betrayed himself—"Hahaha... "He supported Xia Hua under his body, but the cold lake water had already soaked his lower body.But in contrast, the person in front of him even had his hair stuck to his face, which made him feel like a prank.

"You...what are you laughing at..." Xia Hua finally coughed up all the water after hearing that hearty laughter, but the ugliness just now made her blush, "Don't laugh!" Looking at the wine Tun Tongzi didn't listen to his own words, but laughed more and more happily. Xia Hua really had the urge to curse him laughing his stomach through.At this moment, Shuten-douji raised his hand to straighten the hair on her forehead, and then said with a smile, "Xia Hua looks like a drowned ghost."

"..." Xia Hua was stunned for a moment, unable to imagine what it was like when she was just pulled up, "You...you you..." Xia Hua had reached the point of becoming angry from embarrassment, and she stretched out her hand to press on his chest to Pushed away, but was suddenly pulled by the arm.

"But it's very funny..." Jiuten Douji laughed so hard that he couldn't even speak clearly, and after coming out of the water, he pulled her up and said, "Your long hair...covers...your face... ——Haha!" "Stop talking!" Xia Hua had just finished yelling when Shuten-douji grabbed her head tightly, and then the only warmth between her lips stimulated her whole body like an electric current. "Uh...uh!" Xia Hua stared blankly at the magnified face in front of her, then immediately clenched her hands into fists and hit Shuten-douji's hand vigorously. Grabbing himself, ignoring her resistance, he pressed his lips tightly until he felt that it was almost ready——Shuten-douji let her go.

"What are you doing!" Xia Hua didn't know whether to be angry or angry for a while, but when she saw Shuten-douji in front of her, licking her lips and approaching her and asking, "Forgive me?" Hua directly thumped him on the head—"It hurts..."

——Dajiangshan——

"..." Outside the cave, Yu Daoan silently watched that there was no longer any enchantment in the dark stone rock.The destruction of Dajiangshan was the long-cherished wish of the Fox Clan after Yuzao's death. Now she leads them to do it because she is very happy, but there is an indescribable heartache in her heart: "Xiao Yin..."

She silently recited the name, and the scene at that time seemed to reappear in her memory. Her words kept ringing in her ears, and even at the last moment, her smile was deeply embedded in her heart—the one who grew up together. Sister, now leave her alone.

"You know... now the whole fox clan..." Yu Daoan took a deep breath at this time, holding back tears and said: "It has been united...they all respect me as the leader-but ah...it belongs to the leader The position should be given to you..." She said to herself, as if Yu Daoyin was somewhere now, "You have done so much for Ming Dou...Leave the position of leader to me-damn it should be I'm right...the one who is the leader should be you." Yu Daoan sat on the ground, looked into the depths of the cave and gradually lost her voice, at this moment she was waiting, she was waiting for that bright white figure to appear there .

She appeared, smiled, came and hugged herself and called 'sister'...

But for a long time, the silence in the air took her out of her fantasy.At this time, Yu Daoan stretched out her arms and hugged her arms, tucked her head into her shoulders and smiled coldly—she laughed at the cruelty of reality, and also laughed at herself for being too stupid...

But why do you have expectations for this place? Yu Daoyin's death is an unchangeable reality—"..." At this time, someone's hands suddenly fell on her shoulders, and Yu Daoyin immediately avoided it vigilantly: "Who are you?!" A sharp light flashed in his eyes instantly, Yu Dao'an was almost dazzled by the pain, and he had become a bit indistinguishable from friend and foe.

"..." Bai raised his hands and placed them in the air at this moment, and seeing Yu Daoan's reaction so intensely, he couldn't help taking a breath: "It's me."

"..." Yu Daoan looked at him at this moment, and the sharpness in her eyes gradually faded, "Are you coming here with me?"

"You are the leader of the fox clan now, you don't want to end your life here, do you?" When Bai said this, Yu Daoan suddenly put a razor between them: "You don't have to worry about my affairs." Yu Daoyin said it very simply, and Bai also nodded helplessly at this time: "Okay, okay, but before I do it, I hope you can think clearly, you two sisters... Yu Daoyin is so considerate of you, now The fight that's been won—you don't want it to go with the wind."

"This is a matter between me and her, so you don't need to talk too much!" Yu Daoan just refuted this, but Bai turned around and pretended not to hear: "That's right, but don't you think what will happen to the wandering fox demon who is watching?" think?"

"..."

"If you don't have the ability and awareness of a leader, let me do it." Bai looked at her at this time, with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Even if you don't want to, I will take it myself." Yu Daoan immediately dropped the razor to him, "I won't give it to you!" "Funny..." Bai easily reached out and grabbed the handle of the razor, "Now you don't have any strength at all!" No." Yu Daoan held the razor tightly, and wanted to shake off his hand but lost all strength in the process.

"!" Suddenly letting go, the razor pierced into the soil after drawing a slender arc in the air, and Yu Daoan also felt a gust of wind quickly blowing towards his cheek, and saw the sharp claws appearing in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"..." Bai's movements stayed for a long time, until Yu Daoan took a step back, and then took it back with a sneer: "You and the tribe she guards must be led well." Bai stretched out a hand to insert On the waist, he continued: "Even she can't bear to look down on yourself like you."

"..." Yu Daoan lowered her head and remained silent for a moment before she understood the meaning in the vernacular. "I see..." She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and was about to say something—"You guys..." The monster that suddenly appeared, when seeing the old rivers and mountains turned into this picture When he was in the field, a sharp and terrifying light suddenly appeared in his dark brown eyes, and even his voice was filled with uncontrollable anger: "What are you doing to Shuten-douji?!"

But Yu Daoan and Bai looked at him at this time, and almost silently said the name in unison: Ibaraki Doji...

"You guys..." Ibaraki-douji actually noticed the changes in Dajiangshan on the road, and his mind went blank like a thunderbolt in the blue sky: When did Shuten-douji's Dajiangshan and his own Dajiangshan become this field?Could it be during the half a year since I left?

When he was lost, he saw the two fox demons in front of him—"Tell me! Where did Shuten-douji go!"

"Shuten-douji is dead." Facing the furious monster in front of him, Tamadaoan was not frightened but said flatly, "I've gone back to hell." It was indeed not a legitimate act to crusade against Shuten Doji in Jiangshan, but the long-cherished wish of her and Tamada Yin must be fulfilled no matter what the conditions are-Tamazamae's revenge.But now, Ibaraki-douji lost Shuten-douji, just like Yudao-an lost Yudao Yin. "But...why Shuten-douji turned into a human being? I still want to ask you about this." At this moment, Yu Inaoan went to the side of the razor and pulled it out, waving it at Ibaraki-douji, "In order to kill him, My sister's life was also involved in it - this pain, I will definitely take revenge."

"...Human?" Ibaraki Doji was startled when he heard Yu Daoan's words, and he looked at them in disbelief, as if he didn't hear what he just said - human?Shuten-douji is now a human?So... what about Shutendouji, the youkai?

"What the hell did you do to him..." Ibaraki Doji's face gradually darkened, and he reached out and pulled out the knife from his waist, "I will never let you go!" Suddenly a knife flashed, and Yu Daoan was almost still Before he could react, he felt that something was pressing on him on the razor, and immediately swung the Ibaraki-douji who appeared in front of him away from him.

"Just right, I'm so sad and angry that I want to rush to Kyoto to kill him immediately—Ibaraki-douji, if you continue to follow Shuten-douji, I will kill you here!" Yu Daoan repeatedly echoed the past at this time In my memory, the reason why I and Tamada Yin escaped from Ibaraki Doji was because Hoshiguma Doji was protecting them.In fact, if it was possible, Yu Daoan didn't want to talk about Ibaraki-douji's submission or not at all, and she also hated Ibaraki-douji.But this is nothing compared to the hatred for Shuten Doji for letting Yudao Yin die, let alone...

"Yama, let's not fight him here!" Bai suddenly thought of something at this moment, stretched out his claws and stood behind Ibaraki Doji in a posture ready to attack: "You are already seriously injured, there is no need to waste time here .”

"Kyoto..." Ibaraki Doji didn't pay attention to their words at all, but held on to these two words tightly.Shuten-douji is in Kyoto now, where, because of the Sealing Tower, many onmyojis from major families have gathered--Jiuten-douji is in danger now? !

Thinking of this, the sudden irritability in his heart suddenly controlled his emotions. At this moment, Ibaraki Doji roared and swung his sword at Yu Daoan, mercilessly.And Yudao also fought hard, but because of the blows and injuries both physically and mentally in the previous battle, Yudao's offensive gradually declined-seeing that Yudao was attacked by Ibaraki Doji and lost the ability to fight back. From time to time, he quickly moved close to Ibaraki Doji and directly pierced his claws through his body—"Uh—" Ibaraki Doji ignored the fox demon behind him for a while, until his chest was pierced by sharp claws, an indescribable feeling Pain welled up in my heart, and even a bloody smell came up in my throat: "I'm so bored... I'm so bored, I'm so bored! Fuck you all!" The body was burning, and Yu Daoan and Bai felt a powerful demon power begin to gather on Ibaraki Doji's body in an instant—"Let's leave quickly!" Just as Bai shouted these words, Ibaraki Doji's appearance suddenly changed. There has been a change.

Black mist rose from his body, and Yu Daoan saw the monster in front of her with slender ghost horns erected in her hair, and a pair of cold and strange golden pupils emerged with a soul-shocking sharpness, which immediately made her whole body feel as if she had been trapped. It's fixed like it can't move.

"...What?" Almost the sight could not keep up with the feeling, and the moment Ibaraki Doji disappeared suddenly, Yu Daoan immediately held the razor tightly to prepare for it.But just when he couldn't sense where Ibaraki Doji was, Bai suddenly rushed over and pulled him, "Be careful!" Yu Daoan let him be at his mercy, but at this moment, he saw a cloud of black mist appearing over him. Beside him, a saber light also missed him at the same time.

"Uh..." Yu Daoan and Bai took a few steps back, looking at the ghost in the black mist before him reappearing again.At this time, the pair of terrifying golden eyes looked at them, the sharpness had been dimmed to the point of being emotionless, and the Taidao he was holding was also covered with black mist at this moment, as if it was burning, making Yu Daoan deeply aware of himself. Not his opponent.

"It can't be done..." Bai's voice came from beside his ears at this time, he reached out and took out a piece of precious jade, pulled the jade rice eucalyptus and said softly: "Let's get out of here..." He held the jade rice eucalyptus tightly , the hand holding Baoyu almost crushed it, "You..."——Just when Ibaraki Doji raised his sword and slashed at this place, Baoyu's power instantly activated and sent them to another place.

"...Hey..." Yu Daoan couldn't believe what happened in front of her eyes. At this moment, she stared blankly at the unfamiliar jungle in front of her and couldn't help blinking, then turned her head to look at Bai in disbelief.And Bai also heaved a sigh of relief, the jade in his hand was emitting a dim light green light at the moment.

"Bai... this is... what..." Yu Daoan looked at the stone and raised her head to look at Bai: "We really... escaped?"

"This stone was given to me by my ancestors...but compared to this..." Bai took Baoyu back at this time, looked around and said in a calm tone, "Ibaraki Doji...would you go to the capital to find wine?" Tun Tong...?"

"..." Yu Daoan was silent for a moment, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth to say: "With his character, he will definitely." Yu Daoan can be sure of this, after all, as Ibaraki Doji who has followed him for thousands of years, the most important thing right now is to confirm Shuten Is the boy in danger... In fact, Yu Daoan was very hesitant. When he saw Shuten-douji suddenly turned into a human being, he was also puzzled: Shuten-douji, what kind of monster is he?

But Yu Daoan only knows one thing: if Shuten-douji turns back into a monster again in Kyoto, then Xia Hua and the others will definitely be in danger.

Thinking of this, Yu Daoan stretched out her hand and dragged her cheek, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.

Under the same sky, the deserted land is no longer surrounded by jungles, and the entrance of Dajiang Mountain is just an empty cave at this time.And Ibaraki Doji looked there at this time, holding the Taidao tightly in his hand and whispering: Kyoto.

He couldn't imagine what kind of danger Shuten-douji was in now, and he couldn't even imagine what would happen if Shuten-douji died when he rushed over...including that child...

At this time, the black mist gradually receded, and the ghost horns in his hair gradually disappeared.Ibaraki Doji slowly calmed himself down, and kept asking himself in his heart: Will the monster turn back into a human?
