Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

The sunlight outside the house falls on the courtyard, forming a gentle scene that is intoxicating.Today in Edo is the same as usual, good weather as always.But only in the house, an uncontrollable silence began to spread.

After the sliding door was closed, Muichibo and Momiji Kari came out together—"How is the bone girl?!" Ugly Time's Girl and Hashihime immediately stepped forward, worried that the bone girl would die.The bone girl has been in a coma for two whole days since she saw the monster appearing in the stone that day, and no matter how she screamed, she never failed to wake up.

What the hell happened...

"It's just been corroded by the powerful evil spirit, and now she looks like only a skeleton...I guess, when she wakes up, she will make a fuss and go find her skin." Hongye Shou lifted up her sleeves and hid her wry smile behind her. , looking at Mu Yifang to the side with a serious expression at this time.

"That monster... how can we have such a powerful monster here?" Mu Yifang said to himself, looking at the ugly girl and the retainers who were worried about the situation of the bone girl behind him, "that kind of monster is actually sealed in We haven’t found this place for so long.”

"Is it really that powerful... Does Master Hua Piao know?" Qiao Ji lowered her eyes and asked softly.

"I think it is very necessary to tell Master Huapiao about this...Maybe, Master Huapiao knows what that is..." Mu Yifang shook the staff in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the surrounding monsters: " I'm going to Kyoto to find Mr. Hua Piao." As soon as he said this, the ugly girl immediately interrupted: "Let me go too, anyway, I saw with my own eyes how that guy hurt the bone girl!" She and the side Qiao Ji looked at each other, at this moment Qiao Ji raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said softly: "Leave the bone girl to us, you go and come back quickly."

"But... isn't there going to be a purification ceremony in Kyoto soon..." Momiji Kari interjected at this moment, and immediately sounded the alarm for all the monsters present.

"Even so, we have to hurry up and tell..." At this moment, Mu Yibo suddenly thought of something: the targets of the purification ceremony are all monsters around Kyoto, and Huaba went to that special moment. There, isn't it asking for danger? !

Mu Yifang has followed Hua Piao for hundreds of years, and knows that Hua Piao is a very thoughtful monster, and he will not be so stupid as to push himself to the dangerous side... But why, this time when he went to Kyoto, he didn't seem to be at all. Don't care about purification rituals in Kyoto

"The daughter of ugly time." Mu Yifang's voice sounded at this time, with a serious tone that even he couldn't believe: "We... are going to leave today and bring Mrs. Hua Piao back." Suddenly there was too complicated in my heart Doubt, Mu Yifang himself fell into a daze.So it can only be better to arrive in Kyoto as soon as possible and let Hua Piao leave.

——Around Kyoto——

The blooming flowers in the courtyard are filled with a faint fragrance, which outlines a beautiful scenery of this ordinary cottage. The white clouds in the sky are long, and the sunshine here is also shining on the capital with warmth.

Now, it is very quiet here, except for the sound of light footsteps, a monster came to the courtyard and sat down.

Bai Lang squatted down and asked Xia Hua to sit by his side.For it, even without the constraints of the talismans, following Xia Hua is completely out of its own will.Xia Hua is a good master. I still remember that when she first became her shikigami, Xia Hua tried her best to get along with her.

At that time, I actually hated humans from the bottom of my heart, so I was compulsively surrendered by Xia Hua at that time, took back the amulet and became a shikigami.

Xia Hua, she summons herself every day, walks and plays with it, and even leans on her body to read Shiwen like now.

"Don't move, White Wolf." In the black-and-white world, White Wolf still remembers the 12-year-old girl in front of him at that time, clutching his body tightly, not letting him leave her for even a single step.Because he hated humans, he naturally wouldn't let Xia Hua, a human being, lean on him intimately.

I have run away and resisted, but only once because I didn't come back for several days, Xia Hua, who was practicing in Yinghe, resisted Mingdou's obstruction and ran to the edge of the jungle to look for it. It was raining heavily for several days at that time. When Xia Hua found her, her whole body was soaked.

Her eyes were red, and her short hair and clothes were tightly attached to her fair skin. When she saw herself, it was rain and tears that flowed down her face.

Perhaps it was from then on that White Wolf finally let go of a certain boundary in his heart.

"..." Involuntarily let out a coquettish growl, Bai Lang closed his eyes and leaned his head on Xia Hua's arm, while Xia Hua, who was concentrating on reading the text, was suddenly startled, and turned to look at her side The white wolf couldn't help showing a wry smile: "It's been a long time since I watched it. The previous state really couldn't even use the Yin-Yang technique at all..." During the days when she was imprisoned in Dajiang Mountain, all of Xia Hua's power was in the direction of demonization. If you use yin and yang, it will cause great harm to your body.

And that monster, maybe it was because he was worried about that that he kept beating himself--human beings couldn't kill him, and her yin and yang skills couldn't hurt him.

"Half-human, half-demon will be hurt no matter which world they are in, so you keep her by your side to protect..." At that time, she could hear, hear Ibaraki Doji's words, and his pretendingly calm attitude, In fact, no matter what kind of him I am getting along with.Xia Hua knew that it was his way of expressing his feelings.

From the elder brother of Oeyama when she was young, to the arrogant, domineering and cruel demon king, Shuten Doji has played too many roles in front of her.It's all because he cherishes her very much, and he wants to keep her but doesn't know how to keep her.

Hate the fox... because Tamazama gave him too much pain.

He even... hated himself...

"I don't understand you at all, what are you trying to do?"

"Wait for you...kill me."

Jiu Tun-douji could no longer forgive the mistakes he made—killing Xia Hua's biological parents, breaking up Xia Hua's only family member...At that time, Jiu Tun-douzi's heart had already begun to contradict: Hurry up and kill him. Get rid of me, before you are tortured by me, kill me quickly... What I gave you is pain... I don't even have the qualifications to protect you... So, in the end, my only wish—— It's not bad to die at your hands...

"Thank you...was born for me...sorry..."

I... should not have been born in this world...

I... should never appear in this world again...

The moment it disappeared, it was the first time since Xia Hua knew Shuten Doji that he heard his voice from the heart, like a wish.The last voice was just like him in the maple leaf forest, gentle and elegant, and it was like a light wind blowing past without leaving any traces.

It's over...but it leaves all the pain for her...

Xia Hua lowered her eyes, watching Shiwen gradually regain her senses, put down her hand and moved towards the long knife at her waist.That was another weapon that Chitose gave her when she left Ashiya's house.Like the talisman, this knife is mainly used to slay demons and exorcise ghosts. Due to its great power, Xia Hua didn't want to use such a powerful weapon.Only this time, as if to make a break with her past self, Xia Hua decided to use it for her own sister, Kasahara Kana, and even for him as a human being...to protect the last "Shuten-douji" and start afresh. Go back to your original starting point.

"Lingqiewan..." Xia Hua silently recited the name of the knife, looking at the gauze hanging from the gray handle, a faint smile appeared on her face.

And at this time, a red-haired boy with lavender all over the body walked on the corridor. When his golden pupils touched her who was smiling comfortably in the courtyard, everything about her seemed too dazzling to look directly at.In an instant, Shuten-douji's eyes dimmed, and he shifted his gaze to look elsewhere.

"You..." At this moment, there was a voice behind him that reminded me a little, Shuten-douji's eyes widened, and he thought to himself: Wasn't it time to kill him? Is it the fox demon?

Turning around, he saw a woman with an enchanting figure standing in front of him. Her golden hair was dazzling in the sun, and her snow-white attire also revealed her fair skin.Only those gray eyes made her face lose any warmth.

Facing such a woman, Jiu Tun-douji's mind instantly appeared the fox demon who was yelling to kill him at that time, could it be... came to kill him?

"..." Yu Daoan looked at the person in front of him, couldn't feel any evil spirit and couldn't help but frowned, "Human...well..." Yu Daoan didn't want to see the same face a second time, it was considered a In addition to human beings, Tamadaoan still hates Shutendouji who killed Tamadain.The one in front of him is the human Shuten-douji, or maybe the embryonic form of Shuten-douji.Or maybe it was just Shuten-douji's scheme.

"..." Jiu Tun Doji watched her gaze become sharper and sharper, and lowered his eyes to avoid her, "You... are you called Yu Daoan..."

"Huh..." Yu Daoan ignored him, but said to herself: "Although I don't know what you are planning, but I... will not let you get your wish again."

"..." Jiu Tun Tong was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Yu Daoan wanted to say, but - he knew that this fox demon named Yu Daoan hated him.

"If you want to hurt her, I will never let you go..." Yu Daoan looked at him, then turned to look at Xia Hua in the courtyard reading Shiwen leaning against the white wolf. In her eyes, Xia Hua Now it is the existence of my sister, and also the shadow of Yu Daoyin, I absolutely can't, I can't protect my sister anymore...

"Hmm..." Shuten-douji was very confused, but he could understand—if the Shuten-douji they said existed in his body, then he would never let him appear again and hurt anyone...

summer flower...

He looked towards the courtyard following Yu Dao'an's gaze, and many strange and unexpected images kept flashing in his mind. He could feel her pain in his memory, and now she finally got freedom and comfort. I can also feel it—"If I...have never appeared..." Shuten-douji whispered to himself, and a certain darkness deep in his heart began to secretly surge: or...I don't Should appear in front of you again...

Just in Iorifu, Kyoto, the Heavenly Eye, which had been watching someone secretly, closed tightly at this time, and its original figure disappeared.And its owner, sitting on both sides with a silver-haired monster, poured wine to each other.

"It's time... the darkness planted in his heart has spread to the depths of his heart." Abe Shingon stretched out his hand, and a talisman burned by black flames loomed. In the middle surrounded by flames, there was a faint purple light. The dots are so tiny that they are almost invisible to the naked eye.It's just that when it gradually turns red occasionally, the black flame also turns red, that is, blood-like red.

"Shuten-douji...is he really dead..." Hua Piao looked at this phenomenon completely puzzled, he naturally didn't understand what the onmyoji cast a curse on, and Abe Shingon looked at him at this time, the corner of his mouth twitched With a cold evil smile: "Destroy his heart and make him another Shuten-douji."

Hua Piao listened to his words and did not speak, but felt from the bottom of his heart that this Onmyoji had been polluted by evil beliefs, just like Ashiya Doman in the Heian era-but indeed, Shuten, the leader of Japan's three major monsters, Boys, no matter which era they are in, are the monsters that the onmyojis are most eager to subdue, and even those who kill ghosts are eager to get rid of.It's just that in this era, there are no descendants of Minamoto Raikou, and there is no Yasuna. It is purely a war between Onmyoji and Shuten Doji.

"Shuten-douji...turn back into a monster..." Abe's mantra said here, and he slowly expressed his desire in his heart: for the sake of Abe's family, for the old man who is still in Yinyang, I can humbly...become I exist like a shikigami, give me the power to rule the entire demon world...

In my mind, the gloomy era no less than that of Shuten Doji is intertwined. The elder of the Abe family, now the head of the Yinyang Liao in the capital, has never seen him in his eyes: "Dirty." "Low." "The lineage of the Abe family cannot be inherited by you at all."

The words that ridiculed himself echoed in his ears, and in the dim light refracted in by the sun through the sliding door, Abe Shingon's eyes showed a terrifying sharpness, like a sharp sword piercing the night, hatred and Anger floated together on that cold face.
