Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

In the courtyard of Iorifu, the evening wind blows and makes the branches and leaves rustle.The sky that had been swallowed up by darkness without the light of the bright moon and few stars, under her eyes, the entire Kyoto centered on Iorifu was immersed in a deathly silence.

She was dressed in a jet-black printed kimono, standing alone without any light shining on her.The waist-length long hair set off the fair and almost transparent skin, and the pair of eyes were like two jewels shining green in the middle of the night.And behind her, a slender tail forked from the middle, which is her iconic symbol - cat again.

"..." In the remote and quiet environment, a sigh came from somewhere in the courtyard: "I didn't expect you to be able to break through the seal." , while spitting out bursts of blue smoke.

"Slick ghost... What is the purpose of you sealing me for more than ten years?" The ghostly but somewhat deep voice was slowly sounding at this moment, with a hint of dissatisfaction. The cat looked at him again, eyebrows frowned. Frowning, he moved his fingers, making the sound of bones being rubbed.

"..." Hua Piao was silent for a moment, a mysterious light appeared in his pale eyes, and soon he smiled lightly, and said jokingly: "Ten years to you are nothing more than waving your fingers." It's just a flick of time."

"..." There was no expression on Mao You's face, but her silence symbolized her displeasure: "You used me more than ten years ago, don't think you can get away with it just like that."

"How dare I fight against you who are so powerful?" Hua Piao twitched the corners of his mouth at this moment, and couldn't help showing a wry smile: "You also know that, at that time, you also had a part in killing Xingxiong Boy."

"..." Hearing that name, there was no emotion in those bright green eyes, it was just cold, so cold that it seemed that the owner of that name had nothing to do with him: "I have done something to him too... ...Because that guy is so stubborn that it drives me crazy."

"Now, in this era, Shuten-douji is finished." Hua Piao changed the subject at this time, and told Maoyou the current situation in the shortest words: "You still remember the daughter of Hoshikuma-douji, that child, now only her."

"..." Maoyou's eyes flashed a cold light at this time, and he said in an extremely unhappy tone: "That child, why did you live until now?...Slippery, you sealed me up at that time because you didn't want to kill me. Is that the kid?"

"Ah, it's because of the plan." Hua Chuan said, "From the beginning, I really wanted to kill Shuten-douji directly according to your plan...but when I saw that child, I unconsciously wanted to kill him." Make good use of her." In the past Dajiangshan, I used to be an unknown little demon in Dajiangshan, gave a false surname, and has been lurking in Dajiangshan.

At that time, Hua Piao was extremely dissatisfied with Shuten Doji's rule over the demon world and the persecution of the world in the past.So he wanted to overthrow him and make himself king, but Hua Piao did have the ability to rule the demon world.The fact that all the monsters in Edo are willing to listen to him shows that the new era needs a new rule of the monster king.And Shuten-douji...his era has passed, Shuten-douji is a cruel monster beyond imagination, his ending should have ended in the Heian era.

But why did he show up again?It's all because of that troublesome Hoshikuma boy...

I learned from Domeki, who had fought Hoshikuma Doji and escaped by chance, that Hoshikuma Doji fell in love with humans and gave birth to a daughter. Maybe he didn't think at the time that this would be the key to overthrowing Shuten Doji. Ace it.

Maybe it was only in that brief moment when he saw the child helplessly hugging his biological mother and crying - this child was Shuten-douji's weakness.

"I will take revenge..." At this moment, Mao You's cold and arrogant voice suddenly came into Hua Piao's ear: "The ones who really killed Xing Xiong Tongzi were the mother and daughter, Concubine Xia and Xia Hua." The past in Dajiangshan is like a broken mirror that cannot be put back together.Perhaps when it was already heading for collapse, everything began to go to destruction.

In the dark night, her figure turned into a puff of black smoke and slowly dissipated, and her pair of bright green eyes also darkened quietly, leaving behind the slippery scoop at this time, thinking about what to do next.

"You really can't even be understood by demons..." Hua Piao squeezed her chin at this moment, and the corner of her mouth could not help but raise a cold evil smile, and said to herself: "But according to your weird personality, your The first goal is to kill Xia Hua."

At this time, in the hut outside of Kyoto, the room on the right side of the courtyard main entrance was brightly lit.A gust of cold wind blows, and the icy air flows into the room through the gap of the sliding door.

With the help of the candle lamp beside her, Xia Hua looked at the yin and yang style texts that she had read several times in the past, and recalled the abilities she had mastered before she became a monster.

"If the power of Lingqie Pill can be combined with Yin-Yang Art..." Xia Hua looked at the long sword she put on the case while thinking.Under the slightly dim candlelight, Lingqie Wan lay quietly in front of her eyes as if calling herself—touch it...accept it...don't be afraid of its powerful spiritual power and throw it aside.

A tool for killing ghosts and demons...

Xia Hua is actually very worried about whether she can use it well, especially whether she can drive it smoothly now that she is wearing the rosary.However, at this moment, Xia Hua stretched out her hand to hold the handle of the knife, and slowly pulled it out. Following the smoothness of the candlelight, a cold light passed on the sharp blade, and her own reflection was printed on the blade at the same time.

"..." The ensuing silence made Xia Hua fall into her own world.What came to mind was still the evil and domineering face at that time, Xia Hua knew that it was too late to say anything now.However, that Shuten-douji, who only appeared after a thousand years, was irreplaceable to her.

That Shuten-doji walked a path full of twists and thorns.After living for a thousand years, nothing was left behind. The only thing left was himself who was born in his great river and mountains.

At this moment, Xia Hua heard something outside the sliding door, and immediately held Lingqiewan vigilantly and turned around—"Kong Ji?" The handsome young man in front of him.

"..." Shuten Doji lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then raised his head to look at Xia Hua and said, "It's already late, I see you haven't rested yet..." At this moment, he raised his hand, and a white flower cluster was arranged in a spherical shape Appearing in front of Xia Hua's eyes, the fragrance permeated in the flower came along with the cold wind, and the whole room was instantly filled with a faint fragrance.

"..." Xia Hua looked at it, raised her head and said slowly, "Specially... for me?"

"..." Shuten-douji wanted to smile and nod at first, but now he couldn't continue to smile in front of her—because he had realized that he was the chief culprit for making her experience pain.

If I hadn't appeared in front of you, then you must be happy...

Or, just live as an ordinary human girl...

"If being caught by a monster as an onmyoji is a shame, isn't it even more shameful to be married to an enemy who killed his father and mother?"

"When I see you, I feel like dying in pain."

"From the very beginning, this big country has been my own."

"The monsters of Dajiangshan...isn't it important...?"

"You love Tamamo-mae..."

"It should be from the moment I was born, you planned to treat me like her, right... But ah! I'm not Tamamo-mae!"

"What did you say?"

I don't want her to know the true nature, the monster is a very twisted existence-especially for me, when I kill the guy I care about, I can't love anymore.

Not qualified to love, nor qualified to have...

So, if one day that child really likes me, I would rather let this child hate me first...

But if he fell in love with this child first, then let her end him...

No matter what... I don't want to live anymore...

All that is left to you is pain...

At this time, Xia Hua walked over to Shuten-douji, and took the flowers he handed over with both hands—"Thank you..." There was a happy and contented arc on the corner of her mouth, but in Shuten-douji's eyes, she couldn't see it anymore.No, rather than not being able to see it, it should be that I can't see it clearly...

"No matter what choice you make... I will support you..." Jiu Tun Doji said to himself at this time, Xia Hua couldn't help being startled and startled.

"Kong Ji?" Xia Hua raised her head to look at him, with her mouth slightly opened and closed, she couldn't do anything other than call the other party's name.At this time, he was standing outside the house, with his back turned to the darkness, watching her. Only the candlelight inside the house illuminated his delicate face, with a gloomy and silent look on his face, and a dim light in his golden eyes. The short red hair is also dazzling.At that moment, Xia Hua was dazzled for a moment, and saw another shadow on his body.

That's... Shuten-douji's expression...

At that moment, Xia Hua suddenly had a fantasy.No matter when and where, Shuten-douji always looks at himself in the dark, even now, in the endless darkness, looking at himself surrounded by light...

Maybe, after staring at him for a while, he will turn around and leave... let's go into the eternal darkness that belongs to him——no, I can't let him stay in the darkness anymore.

"Kong Ji, you..." Xia Hua reached out to hold him, but the person in front of her suddenly grabbed her hand: "I'm fine." With a force, he pulled Xia Hua into himself and stretched out his hand hold on.Now I have all remembered.My own past and what I have done have hurt this child.

He wanted to tell her that she had already surpassed an existence named Yuzao in her heart.She has already occupied my heart... This matter, whether it is the past or the present, the two different Shuten-douji all cherish the existence of Natsuka.

If you fall in love with her, then let her kill herself with her own hands.

After experiencing the crazy self that he loved most once, Shuten Doji now understands what his past self thought, and how he distorted his feelings for her.

Because he hurt her, he made the current self want to disappear immediately.

Jiu Tun Doji hugged the dazed Xia Hua tightly, lowered his eyes to look at the Lingqie Pill in her hand, and told himself in his heart: How much I wish I could die in her hands one day.

"..." Xia Hua, who was hugged tightly in her warm embrace, gradually turned from bewildered to silent.But she raised her head at this moment and hugged him tightly.

Absolutely guard him, never let him step into the darkness again...

"After this incident is over..." Xia Hua said softly at this moment, lowering her head and shoulders trembling slightly: "May I be your wife?"

"..." Jiu Tun-douji was startled for a moment, and all his thoughts were interrupted in an instant.Shuten Doji remembers that the past self and her were already husband and wife, but the self at that time kept torturing her because he was afraid that she would be ruined by him, and kept making her hate him-he killed her parents, so it turned out that Even he can't forgive himself...

If I hate this life, I will leave it to you... To die at your hands is the most satisfying thing in my life.

At this time, Jiu Tun-douji lowered his eyes, put his hand on Xia Hua's head and was silent for a while: "Mmm..." He spoke softly, although one side of his heart was intertwined with joy, but the other half was the abyss of pain.But in that boundless abyss, he heard something approaching him...

That feeling made him feel very uneasy...

"Xia Hua..." Jiu Tun Doji took a deep breath at this moment, and said in his heart: "If I would give up the rest of my life for you, I would also be willing."

At this time, everything in the world has fallen into a silent darkness...
