Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

"..." In the line of sight that touched her, those lavender eyes were staring at her. From just now, she didn't listen to every word she said.But only these words kept appearing in my mind: She is the only one in the world.

"I know...you won't be able to accept it right away if I tell you now." Iori Hime took a deep breath, lowered her head and looked at Xia Hua's hand that she was holding tightly.At this moment, Xia Hua clenched her hands tightly, and her whole body was trembling slightly—"But no matter what, I want to tell you about this—we..."

"I see..." Xia Hua suddenly withdrew her hand at this moment, her lips slightly opened and closed, and her voice was so soft that only she could hear, "I...I am very happy that you value me so much..." Xia Hua felt herself She was a bit incoherent, but she knew that she really couldn't accept it now—"It's not like this! I'm really yours..." Iorihime was about to refute, but Ashiya Chitose suddenly pulled up the bamboo curtain slightly outside and said: "Time It's almost there, let's leave quickly."

"..." Yizhi Ji hurriedly stopped her words, and at this moment she turned her gaze to Xia Hua, "Xia Hua, you..." She called softly, hoping that she, who was turning her back at this time, could look back at herself glance.But Xia Hua didn't get what she wanted.

"See you later." Xia Hua took a deep breath and got out of the bullock cart without looking back.At this time, she felt that in Iorihime's sight, her back was as hot as a fire, and her whole brain was so blank that it made her feel scared - she had to leave here, leave quickly...

The voice in her heart kept urging herself, Xia Hua raised the bamboo curtain and walked down immediately, but bumped into Ming Dou who was beside the car—"You..." Ming Dou stretched out his hand to hold her back, but couldn't help feeling sorry for her face. The expression on her face was taken aback: "Xia...Xia Hua...?" Ming Dou felt a little strange, Xia Hua's face didn't have any expression at this time, no, rather than having no expression, it should be said that he was confused: "You...how? gone?"

"Hurry up and send her away." Ashiya Chitose didn't seem to notice Xia Hua's change, but that was natural, at this moment he was completely focused on observing the surrounding situation, "Iori Hime-sama should also go back. "Speaking of this, Chitose Ashiya and Xia Hua nodded their goodbyes and got on the bullock cart—the moment the bamboo curtain was lowered, Xia Hua suddenly wanted to say something...but she didn't say...

"What's the matter?" After getting into Ming Dou's bullock cart, Xia Hua saw that Shuten Douji seemed to be exhausted and fell into a deep sleep at this time, she couldn't help but lowered her head and listened silently to Ming Dou's question: "Your complexion is not very good. Good." After Ming Dou drove the ox cart to move, his voice came from outside the bamboo curtain.

"..." Xia Hua gasped, stretched out her hands and put them on her face: "No..." The short words ended his concern for himself, and from now on, Xia Hua's heart was in a mess.She looked at Shuten-douji at this time with his eyes closed, and the sound of his steady breathing came into her ears, and her slightly heaving chest seemed to tell herself that he was sleeping peacefully at this moment.

"..." Xia Hua turned her eyes away from him, and that cruel and domineering Shuten-douji appeared in her mind again.He smiled, and the him in his mind looked at himself with an arrogant sneer, and there was a dim cold light in the golden eyes that made her afraid to look directly, mocking her own weakness.

"What the hell are you hiding from me..." Xia Hua said in her heart, and slowly approached the sleeping person in front of her. The figure keeps her wandering between love and hate.She knew that he was no longer him, the real Shuten-douji was dead... But, there were so many things she really wanted to ask-why be so cruel?Why did it become like this?Why do you want to withdraw and leave?

The rain that had been falling that day fell on the red maple trees above them and dripped down on him. "Is it cold?" The boy who was hugging her put his forehead on top of her head, and hugged the young body beside her tightly.

"It's not cold." The young self shook his head, reached out and grabbed his arm tightly, not letting go.

"..." At this moment, the body on her body was close to her, and she suddenly let out a sigh: "I said Xia Hua, do you know who I am?"

"...Huh? The big brother of Dajiangshan." Xia Hua raised her head and looked at those golden eyes with a self-deprecating smile--"Is that all?" He reached out and wiped the drops that fell on her face Drops of water on the face, said lightly: "But it's no wonder, I will not appear in front of the ghosts in this form."

"Hmm..." Xia Hua couldn't understand what he was saying at all, but she knew that the big brother in front of her not only didn't appear in places where there were many monsters, but even rarely appeared in front of her parents, mother and even Uncle Ibaraki. The young man made a three-pointer: "What kind of monster is big brother?" Curiosity suddenly came up, and Xia Hua opened her eyes wide and looked at him with excitement and expectation.In her eyes, apart from that monster, there is really no other monster that can make a monster as powerful as Uncle Ibaraki respect him so much.

"..." Looking at the child under him, a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "Secret."

"Hey?!" Ignoring Xia Hua's surprised expression, he pinched her face like this: "I will tell you in the future."

At this time, Xia Hua seemed to have understood something deep in her heart, that distant memory was still as fresh as new in her memory and had not faded, and at this moment an unspeakable heartache began to well up in her heart.

"Shuten-douji..." Xia Hua lowered her head and put her hands on his shoulders, and buried her head in his sleeping arms--"I...hate you..." She muttered to herself, her eyes were also at this moment There was a warm current.It's just that she didn't let it intensify.I can't cry, and I don't know how to go on...

It was Shuten-douji who killed her parents, and it was Jiuten-douji who made her love and hate-"You are... Shuten-douji?" In the red maple forest, the one who looked only a few years older than herself For the first time, the young man turned into a mature and evil man in front of her. She was surprised and speechless for a while, but soon she said bluntly: "In the future - I will be your wife!"

"..." The golden pupils looked at her and darkened slightly: "It seems that you seem to be very happy."

"Yeah." As a child, she always showed her inner feelings and never concealed anything: "Because Shuten-douji and big brother are the same, I'm really happy." She reached out and hugged his chest tightly on tiptoe. Waist, breathing the light fragrance that belongs to him. "Silly child." A big hand fell on her head, Xia Hua heard his soft sigh: "You are still young, maybe you will meet someone more suitable for you than me in the future." He hugged her up: "Or wait until you are a little older, and then come and tell me yourself."

She was holding her tightly in his arms, smiling more happily than ever.Liking is a simple thing, once you have this kind of feeling, you will always watch each other - when Xia Hua grows up a bit, she no longer talks about "becoming your wife".

Shuten-douji is lonely...

In the past, she also saw that when he looked at his father and mother for everlasting, his eyes contained relief and gloom—but he was also selfish, maybe he rejected himself again and again with such kindness as a child, and kept saying, "etc. The 'you're grown up' excuse is already a metaphor for who he is.

Both she and Tamamo-mae are just 'capital' to satisfy Shuten-douji's possessive desire.

He couldn't forgive him, not only because he killed his parents, but also because he hurt his companions.

At this time, Xia Hua buried herself deeply in Shuten-douji's arms, knowing that the current Shuten-douji no longer has that cruel and terrifying nature, and is just a pure human being.But she still misses Shuten-douji in the past so deeply that she doesn't know it, mixed with feelings of hatred and love, and really wants to ask him some questions that she can't even figure out.

It's all over...

Xia Hua kept telling herself to stay by Shuten-douji's side for a while and then slowly get up.When she got up, reached out and opened the bamboo curtain to look out of the car, she found that they had left the town of Kyoto.

Ming Dou sat in front of the bullock cart for a long time without turning his head. He leaned against the bamboo curtain behind him and watched the surroundings, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ming Dou..." At this moment, Xia Hua's voice came from behind the bamboo curtain, so low that Ming Dou couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart: "Thank you."

"..." Ming Dou heard Xia Hua say another sentence, lowered his eyes and said softly: "Don't talk inexplicably, it's not like you." At this time, Xia Hua was sitting behind the bamboo curtain, staring at the bamboo curtain in front of her. The tall figure outside the curtain: "...maybe... many things... are not as simple as we thought."

"Iori Hime, what did I tell you?" Ming Dou took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.In fact, he cared a lot about her confused expression when she came out, and was very worried about what Iori Hime said to her.The current Xia Hua could no longer endure any twists and turns.

"..." Xia Hua wanted to speak, but stopped quickly.

"Say it... I'm on your side..." Ming Dou waited for her to say, and shouted in his heart, longing for Xia Hua to trust him—he didn't want to lose her again, let alone lose her again. He failed to protect her once.Although Ming Dou's only regret in this life is Yu Dao Yin, he can't help but protect Xia Hua.

Please trust him, so that he can know how to protect her—yes, the one who killed Yu Daoyin is not even qualified to like Xia Hua, he only has to protect her.

"..." And Xia Hua seemed to understand Ming Dou's meaning, lowered her eyes and took a deep breath, and said lightly: "Iorihime... is actually my biological sister..." Although this sentence is like a clear sky A thunderbolt struck Ming Dou's brain, but Ming Dou quickly calmed himself down—"Your surname is... Yizhi?"

"No... same as me... surname Kasahara..." Xia Hua looked down at her hands, as if her warmth was still on them: "I... still have relatives in this world... really ...I'm really not alone anymore..." Xia Hua looked at Shuten-douji next to him who was still asleep, and she slowly lowered her eyes: "That guy...So he knows everything...When I was young, Become an older brother to accompany me... because I was afraid that I would be lonely—but I..." Xia Hua covered her head, the pain in her heart was far greater than finding the only biological sister like Iori Hime: "He What kind of monster is it... I really don't understand."

"..." Ming Dou was silent for a while, and then quickly said: "So Iorihime just now...do you want to leave quickly?"

"How is it possible to leave? What am I now?..." Xia Hua interrupted Ming Dou, retorting in pain: "I am now... a monster... Monsters and humans can't be together... I, already want to Face your own identity—but why did you tell me at this time! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Xia Hua actually wanted to be a human again, but after Shuten-douji’s death, she decided to face the real herself, because she couldn't let Shuten-douji go, she couldn't leave him alone anymore.As for Shuten-douji, there were too many things that he didn't have time to tell her when he 'died', which naturally caused the current Xia Hua not to dare to face Iorihime.

"Dear...sister..." Ming Dou lowered his eyes and understood Xia Hua's inner conflict.But it is undeniable that Jiu Tun-douji's pain for her is above that contradictory pain: "Do you... regret... that guy's death." Ming Dou took a deep breath—"I said... ...That is Shuten-douji who killed my parents...So, even if it hurts...I will never regret it..." Xia Hua suppressed the pain in her heart, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

How to face Iorihime, my biological sister...

The monster herself had obviously let go of everything, but reality tied her back again—but the thought of her relatives in this world still made Xia Hua feel a lot of joy in her heart.

But she couldn't find a way to deal with it. Xia Hua felt that she had become a monster and she had lost the qualification to admit that she was her sister.

"Iori Hime, maybe I need you very much." At this time Ming Dou said this suddenly, Xia Hua's eyes widened and she was stunned—"It's not just because of blood relationship, but...she is your reliance for the soul, right?" "Ming Dou's words are extremely weighty, constantly hitting Xia Hua's heart: "Give me some time...please..."

Xia Hua reluctantly made a sound. At this time, her voice was so distorted that even she couldn't believe it. Maybe, when a person is sad and painful, he will be a little abnormal.

In the jungle close to Kyoto, Yudaoyin looked at the bustling scene in the distance and couldn't help recalling everything that happened here. When he was in the middle palace, sometimes he asked Yudao Yin to eat and drink together, and even went to Yinyang together. Those unremarkable old guys and ministers here...

"..." At this moment, Bai beside her looked at her, and said slowly, "This place really has a lot of pleasant and unpleasant memories."

"..." Yu Daoan lowered her eyes at this moment, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help showing a wry smile: "Actually, I still don't understand why you came to me at that time... really... did you just want to kill me?"

"Of course, your fox tribe excludes me, so I naturally hate every one of you." A dim light appeared in Bai's eyes, but soon—"But ah... Yudaoyin tolerated that Me." His voice was low, with unspeakable emotions hidden: "She is very rational, and she is very considerate of you and the whole fox clan." The figure at that time appeared in Bai's mind, even if he was hurt by himself. , she did not flinch - even after knowing what happened between herself and Shuten Doji, she still believed in herself...

In fact, he was white and stayed only to atone for his sins... the crime of hurting Yu Dao'an, the crime of hurting Yu Dao Yin... and even instigated the entire fox clan to be divided.

Yu Daoan listened, took a deep breath and slowly said: "Next, I'm going back to Xia Hua..." She turned around at this moment, and said softly: "Yudaoyin and I, She was rescued by her father Hoshikuma Doji, even though she couldn't repay Hoshikuma Doji's kindness when he was alive, but Natsuka... No matter what, Tamadain and I were going to save her from Shuten Doji Down."

"...You..." At this moment, a gleam of gloom appeared in the clear eyes, just like a layer of shadow appeared, Bai Bai lowered his voice and said: "Don't you believe that Shuten-douji?"

"I don't believe it at all." Yu Daoan looked at him and gave him an order: "Go back to the Fox Clan, and I will complete the next repayment of favors on behalf of the entire Fox Clan." More than ten years ago, he was killed by Shuten Doji for saving the Fox Clan. No matter what, Hoshikuma Doji is a great benefactor to the entire Fox Clan.And Xia Hua, as his daughter, is even more the object to be protected.

"Do you want...to protect her alone?" Bai frowned slightly, "Ibaraki Doji...maybe he will kill her if he sees her."

"It's fine no matter what, what I decide will not change." Yu Daoan clenched her fist tightly and told herself that she must not relax herself.Perhaps, a fierce battle has just begun—and Bai, there is no need to be involved again: "Go back to the fox clan, I will definitely come back afterward." Yu Daoan smiled faintly, looked at Bai and promised.

"..." And Bai, at this moment, was staring closely at the leader of the fox tribe in front of him and didn't speak.He really wanted to refuse, but he understood that Yu Dao'an's character would never allow him to refute.What's more, I haven't received help from Xingxiong Boy in 50 years, which is completely outside of him...

"I...can't I stay?" Bai asked again, but he didn't want to leave: "I... also want to make a good atonement."

"The one in front of me is just an ordinary fellow." Yu Daoan shook her head, interrupting Bai's words. "You are innocent, from the moment you are willing to help us..."

"..." Bai was stunned for a moment, staring at Yu Daoan in front of him with wide eyes and silent for a long time, "Okay..." He nodded slightly, and reached out to take out the Gouyu from his arms: "Come back early." Yu Daoan took the Gouyu that Bai handed over to her, and nodded silently...
