Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

"But he—didn't even tell me his name at the end."

Afterwards, the times continued to change, and after the life-and-death contest with humans on the Dajiang Mountain, the cat was forced to part ways with Hoshikuma Boy in the battle.

On that day, the sky of Dajiangshan was a blood-red sunset, too many monsters died under the magic circle of the Onmyoji, and there was a samurai holding An Gang, who killed many monsters along the way, and finally met Shuten Doji confrontation.

"Take her away." Unable to take into account any more lives, the blood-stained monster had long since lost his mind, held her hand and entrusted her to the care of a ghost: "Don't come back, absolutely escape ..." Hoshikuma Boy only saw the image of the human beings continuously killing and expelling them, because he resisted the onmyojis who wanted to seal him away, now the corner of Hoshikuma Boy's mouth slid down with bright bloodstains.I'm afraid that if I resist one step later, I will disappear...

"Xing Kuma Boy..." The cat looked at him again, and stretched out its hand to grab it but couldn't. From that day on, everything began to diverge.Although I met him again in the new Edo period after a thousand years, everything changed...

"Be careful." That day, he finally returned to Dajiangshan, where he had bid farewell to the millennium. The cat saw him holding a human woman with a protruding belly, and walked down the steps cautiously: "...You guys..." The cat looked at the glare again. The scene was so dazzling that my heart began to throb with pain—"Let me introduce to you, this is Hoshigum Doji's wife, Kasahara Natsumi." Ibaraki Doji on the side didn't notice the completely stunned expression of the cat, and went to himself Said: "But, is it really okay for Concubine Xia to be like this? When will the child be born?" He seemed to have accepted the existence of Concubine Xia with an expectant look on his face, and he also longed for a new life to be born in this great river and mountain: "At that time, I can also be an uncle hahaha." Ibaraki Doji said there vigorously, making the high-profile Concubine Xia and Hoshikuma Doji smile at each other: "In less than three months, this child will be born Yes."

Xingxiong Boy had a gentle smile on his face at this time, and the corner of his mouth raised a happy arc, as if he was already satisfied with everything now.

What...why is it with humans...

But in Maoyou's eyes, a voice kept telling her: "I have loved you for thousands of years, for such a long time...why can't I compare to that short-lived and fragile human being?" Maoyou's heart gradually closed, starting from the Heian Era She has always been the existence Shutendouji and the others paid attention to, and now they are all taken away... And that woman named Xia Concubine actually conceived a child with the monster I have liked for thousands of years-why... it became like this...

The cat who had been holding back all this time was finally out of control. On the day the baby was born two months later, she was so exhausted that she hid in the jungle of Dajiang Mountain and wept silently—"Why did you send this baby out!" Ibaraki Doji roared angrily, and the cat raised its head again, but did not wipe away the tears from its eyes, letting it fall—"If Concubine Xia and her can't recognize each other in the future! Don't you think it's cruel!?" Then In the evening, Mao witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Xingxiong Boy sent his second daughter out of Dajiangshan. With his leaving back, Mao knew in his heart that he was actually in pain, but the child who had inherited all his spiritual power could not stay In Dajiangshan - in order to prevent any monsters from threatening her... It is because of the relationship of opposition and mutual harm between humans and monsters that Hoshikuma Doji had to make this decision.

"..." The cat watched him leave again, biting its lips tightly and unable to say anything.But in her heart, she felt that if that concubine Xia had never appeared by his side, then he wouldn't have to suffer so much...

So, this is the seed that leads to bad results...

Until I saw that monster, I finally started to go crazy...

"You, you like Hoshikuma Doji." Hoshikuma Doji's first daughter was named Xia Hua, and as time passed, she was already six years old.Shuten Doji seems to like her very much, and even the whole Dajiangshan regards her as a young lady... She is half human and half demon, why...

The cat thought to himself again, and did not deny the silver-haired monster beside him. At this moment, he took a thoughtful deep breath with the pipe, and then exhaled wisps of green smoke: "Come with me, as long as you kill Shuten-douji... Hoshiguma The boy is at your disposal."

"Hey..." The cat who was originally a quiet observer widened his eyes at this moment, raised his head and stared blankly at the monster in front of him, and in those gray eyes, there was a terrifying gloomyness and profundity—"Cat again , I need your strength... If you plan to give up Hoshikuma Doji, just pretend I didn't say it."

"Need...why..." The cat was stunned again, she really wanted to directly veto the words that she wanted to give up Xingxiong boy - she liked him for thousands of years, and this feeling finally awakened at the moment when she saw him and Concubine Xia being happy It's impossible...it's because he's with human beings...

"You are the last blood of the Maoyou clan, your strength shouldn't have led you to stay here." Hua Bao said at this moment, and his cold eyes fell on him: "Didn't you...have you never given your name?" ?”

"..." Cat widened her eyes again, and immediately recalled her past—yes, she never wanted to dedicate her name to Shuten-douji, what she wanted to dedicate to... Hoshikuma-douji...

"So, I want to defeat Shuten Doji... He shouldn't appear in this world again—" The cat didn't listen carefully to Hua Piao's next words, because the only thing was to make Hoshi Kuma Doji look at him and stay with him There is nothing more important than this...

"Okay... I promise you..." Mao said again, knowing in her heart that what she expressed was a kind of betrayal of Dajiangshan, but she also knew that it was because of such Dajiangshan that Xingxiong boy had been supporting him for too long and was too tired In the Heian era, he had conflicts with Shuten-douji over the interests of human beings, and now he has to suffer because of the matter between that human being and her daughter... Even if he smiles, in Maomata's eyes, he is unfortunate--can give His real happiness will always be the cat and himself...

……

……

In the end, everything went back to the beginning—I plunged the knife into Xingxiong Boy's chest with his own hands, "Why don't you understand!!!" Mao and Hua Piao secretly led the Fox Clan to launch a battle more than ten years ago. It was when Xiahua was eight years old—"Why didn't you choose me? Why did you choose that human being!!" the cat cried out in pain, tears kept falling from her eyes. pierced his chest.

"..." I couldn't make any sound, but only those deep eyes stared at her quietly, "Uh..." After a long time, Xingxiong boy whimpered slightly in pain, stretched out his hand to hold the girl on his chest, The knife on his back was...broken..."..." The cat was stunned again, seeing that his favorite hand had been cut open by the blade, and the blood that kept gushing from his chest quickly dripped on the ground. Under the line of sight: "I... only love... her..." Xingxiong boy looked at her, with forbearance and vague apology for the pain in his eyes, slowly turned around, and walked towards Concubine Xia's bedroom.

I just love her... I just...

His voice kept echoing in Maoyou's ears, and his brain gradually sank into blankness—"It's useless...it's too late—" Maoyou's lips trembled slightly, and he said slowly to himself: "Shuten-douji has already... ... controlled by Hua Piao..." What she wanted to say was that she wanted to tell him: You are going to die like this!

The cat rushed up again immediately, hugging the slightly leaning body.At this time, the blood was dripping, and there was a large pool of bright red blood under Xingxiong Boy's feet. Concubine Xia..." He murmured obsessively, as if Concubine Xia was right in front of him now—"She will die! Don't think about her anymore!!" The cat shouted again, but gradually let go of her hands .

This is why... I obviously don't want him to go... But why...

"I just love her..."

At that time, the words echoed in my ears again, and they kept repeating. Following the scenes of spending time with her, the cat gradually understood—he would not let her go...

The cat let go of him again, watching his exhausted body struggle to move forward slowly, the pain in his heart gradually made him unable to breathe.At this time, Xingxiong Boy may or may not know... the death ahead is already waiting for him.If he followed Maoyou and left here, maybe he wouldn't have to sacrifice—at this moment, Maoyou's thoughts filled his mind: why did he like him so much, but he had to watch him die...

"Come back... Xingxiong boy..." The cat looked at his back that was getting far away again, and saw the blood behind him dripping all over the ground, and tears kept streaming down his heart: "Why... can't keep you..." While the voice was trembling, a bright green light suddenly appeared around Maoyou.That light did not belong to him, but came from the power of a monster.Although it was not malicious, the cat felt that its body was gradually getting lighter...

"Hoshikuma boy... don't go... please... please... you..." The cat was heartbroken again, his heart was so painful that he was so numb that he couldn't care about himself, and he was powerless to stop him— ——I can only do that, standing where I am and begging him to turn back.

"..." However, Xingxiong boy did not satisfy her wish, insisted on going his own way, and slowly walked towards the woman who had already occupied his heart at this time—"Why...why..." Gradually, the cat looked at Xingxiong again. The figure of Xiong Tongzi leaving, the body gradually faded until it became transparent...

And the line of sight gradually dimmed, turning into darkness...

……

……

……

Afterwards, the cat only knew that he was locked in a small space, and never saw Hoshigumama again... Even now that he finally returned to reality, he learned that Hoshikuma had been dead for ten years For a long time... She couldn't decide what kind of scene Hoshikuma-douji faced in the end. Maybe it was the dead wife lying in a pool of blood and the Shuten-douji holding a blood knife...

It's just that the only thing she can be sure of is - in the season when the red leaves are falling, at the moment when Concubine Xia's body is getting heavy, what their child's eyes are watching... must be the one with long hair as red as a flame, holding a The monster of the blood knife.

And Hua Piao's plan...maybe it has just begun...
