Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

My sight gradually went into the darkness, but with my remaining hearing, I could still hear the people around me laughing wildly—"Shuten-dou...why did you become so fragile? That child really Is it your weakness?"

In the darkness, I heard something gnawing on my own body—"You idiot? You just sacrificed everything for a human being like this, don't you have any regrets at all?"

"..." Listening to the provocative words, he didn't resist——I...damn it.

He said it in his heart, but he didn't say it out—an existence like Shuten-douji should have disappeared in the Heian era... Or, what he gave her was all pain... Even if she accepted that He hurt himself to her, but he could never forgive himself...

The gray and white picture in her mind was beating, constantly staying on the innocent face stained with blood. Should she smile or be angry?

Killing her parents, taking everything from her, made her feel the pain of death. If she can continue to smile at herself, she must endure it.

Right, Xia Hua...Actually, you have always hated me, right...

Even now... this feeling cannot be truly conveyed to you, I am also doomed to perish...

So—you don’t have to think about me anymore...

The words that emerged in his mind had already occupied his heart at this moment: Let me die...

Mu Yifang and Bai Lang were running on the avenue in Kyoto, and while looking around, they finally saw a golden barrier not far away.

"Ashi...Ashiya Chitose?!" And when Muichibo and Bailang ran under the barrier, a figure standing in front of him suddenly made him find hope in the confusion-"Don't come over!" Suddenly at this moment , Yu Daoan took out the razor and pointed at Mu Yifang, frowning with a look of hatred on his face, and waited until Mu Yifang took a closer look, and found two onmyojis he had never seen before guarding a watch In front of a girl who was only about 16 years old; a certain figure on the other side was also exuding a slightly powerful demonic aura at this time, causing a drop of cold sweat to fall on Mu Yifang's forehead: What happened?Why is everyone so wary of themselves?

Just as Mu Yifang was surprised in his heart, "You...you are slippery..." Chitose Ashiya immediately came to Yu Daoan and asked her to put down the razor. At this time, the white wolf also stood behind Mu Yifang Out of the body: "White wolf?" Seeing that White wolf and Ashiya Chitose both stopped him, Yu Daoan was stunned for a moment, and then put down his weapon: "You... are Hua Piao's retainer, right..." As soon as he said it The name of 'Shua Piao' made Yu Daoan's heart confused: what kind of monster is he?To be so unscrupulous for his own purpose...

"Slippery...retainer..." But Ashiya Chitei did not let down his vigilance, turned to look at Ashiya Chitose: "Chitose, what do you decide to do?"

"...What exactly happened..." Meichibo didn't know what the situation was like, and just when he saw Ashiya Chitose showing a troubled expression, the cat on the side spoke again: "Shuala didn't tell Everything about his retainers about Kyoto... To put it bluntly, he acted alone."

"Are you...could it be the one who hurt the bone girl...!" Mu Yifang clenched the staff in his hand at this moment, and quickly became vigilant—"..." But the cat didn't speak, but opened after a moment of silence Said: "You all don't know the dark side of Huapiao...he is not as simple as you imagine..." As soon as the words fell, Mu Yifang, who knew nothing, retorted: "What does Huapiao-sama do? What... makes you feel so disgusted! — Could it be that there is some misunderstanding?!"

"..." Chitose Ashiya turned his head at this time, and didn't intend to answer Mu Yibo. In fact, he also wanted to ask Hua Piao if everything was true...

From seeing Xia Hua and the others and bringing them into Ashiya's house, did Hua Piao get close to him on purpose?But...why...why do you want to be so unscrupulous...

Ashiya Chitose's heartache is not the friendship between him and Hua Piao, but Xia Hua herself - she has been blinded all this time, and never thought that her enemy who killed her father and mother was by her side...

Slider... tell me you didn't do this...

Chitose Ashiya fell into silence at this moment, and Ai and his elder brother Chitose Ashiya were all watching. Seeing that no one present could refute Muichibo's words, Mao again interrupted: "The power of the barrier has been fixed, let's go in." The cat said again and walked in front of Iori Hime, and said softly: "I'm afraid there will be more troublesome monsters inside, and I will join them to protect you. "Suddenly hearing the cat say this again, Iori Ji couldn't help but widen her eyes at this moment: "You...protect...me?" It was unexpected that the cat would take the initiative to make such a request again, and Yu Daoan also stepped forward at this time and said : "Leave your safety to us."

"..." Seeing Empress Zhonggong who was kicked out of the palace by herself back then, Iorihime couldn't help but feel a little awkward in her heart, and at the same time, a faint gratitude gradually emerged: "...Thank...thank you..." Iori Hime has never thanked a monster once.

"Don't get me wrong, it's just because you are his child... you must be well protected... and your sister." The cat frowned slightly again, and the words left by Xingxiong boy when he left appeared in his mind, and he closed his eyes slowly. He took a deep breath with his eyes: This is also... a kind of atonement for me.

"Okay, then let's all be careful." Seeing that the barrier has been perfectly completed, Ashiya Chitei agreed with Maomata's opinion after seeing that the barrier was almost perfect: "Then you... come along too..." He looked in front of him Mu Yifang nodded slowly and said...

Suddenly a sharp object was pinched into her neck, Xia Hua felt her throat tightened, and she couldn't even speak out—"Xia Hua!!" The voices of Hoshiguma Doji and Ibaraki Doji came from her ears, but Being tightly entangled by the sudden pain, he couldn't react at all.

"Uh..." Xia Hua lowered her eyes, and saw that her neck was tightly pinched by a big hand, and the slender black nails scratched the delicate neck while pinching it, leaving drops of blood red blood.

"Justen-douji, hey, kill her!" Hua Piao showed a cruel sneer at this time, and his eyes gradually narrowed as he stared at the two figures in front of him: "You are originally a... a monster who likes bloodthirsty and killing, a human You don’t need such things as feelings at all, right…”

"Slippery, shut up!" Ibaraki Doji was about to turn his head and pick up the Taidao to slash at him, but Shuten Doji's hand tightened suddenly—"Uh..." Xia Hua made a small sound in pain, and took a short breath more difficult.

"Sapphire! We won't do anything!" Hoshikuma-douji immediately grabbed Ibaraki-douji to calm him down and said, "...don't let Shuten-douji hurt her!" The monster in his hand, that cold and cruel evil smile seemed to warn himself: his favorite daughter is now in his hands.

"Hmph...hahahaha!!" Hua Piao laughed wildly at this moment, as if everything in the present had been doomed to a certain fact: "Yes... I am the future Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters! You and Shuten Doji Ah—it should have disappeared a long time ago!"

"..." Ibaraki-douji glared at him at this moment, and his angry eyes were filled with deeper rage: "Shut up..." Ibaraki-douji clenched the sword in his hand, and just wanted to go forward but couldn't Without stopping, he looked at Hoshikuma-douji beside him, and at Shuten-douji who was close at hand, who was pinching Xia Hua's neck, and his movements were slowly and forcefully.

"Are you...are you going to destroy all your things again?" At this time, the big tengu who chose to wait and see what happened suddenly put away his sword and said calmly: "Do you still remember that you once killed a man with your own hands?" Is it a youkai that I cherish very much?"

"..." The 'you' he mentioned is nothing more than the current Shuten-douji—although the red-haired monster didn't intend to let go, but his consciousness gradually wavered for a while.

In his memory, he vaguely remembered that there was a crimson monster standing in front of him, his curly dark brown hair was being held by him fondly all the time, and it was the first time that he smiled at the corner of his mouth without any evil thoughts. she.

Her fox ears, which symbolize non-human beings, stood up high and sometimes rose and fell with her emotions-"Is your weakness just your ears?" "No!" She once held her hand, Walking in the maple forest with fallen red leaves... until the end, I...

killed her...

"Uh..." Xia Hua felt her mind go blank, but at this moment, the only thing that could bring her back to reality was the Lingqie Pill in her hand: Whatever...you can't let him...

Xia Hua's vision gradually dimmed, but at this moment, she gathered all her strength in her hands, and slowly lifted the Lingqie Wan.At this moment, the rosary on his hand and the red lines on his wrist appeared in the air, "..."

"This is what you gave me!"

At the same time that those golden pupils saw it, the red-haired monster instantly stopped in the illusion just now, and felt a distant picture flashed in his mind. He had never heard the voice of the person in front of him, but suddenly An inexplicable tone resounded—"This is the... curse you gave me—you want me...you want me to be pinned down by you forever, right..."

The eye-catching red lines like flames are almost like scars.Among them, the bellflower print showed a gradient color from black to red - "You can't escape from my eyes in this life, unless you kill me..."

I killed your most important person...

I shouldn't live in this world anymore...

"A monster like me can only go to hell after death." When he was resurrected, he said desperate words in a nonchalant tone, although Ibaraki Doji next to him could not hear, "That is purgatory...forever They are all lingering there, and they will never be reborn." But there is a sense of loss in his heart, what has he been pursuing for thousands of years?

Is it the aloof king of ghosts?Or is it something that can really belong to you?

I just remember that a long time ago, there were so few people who loved me.

But I turned around and thought: Ah, maybe it was an illusion.

Who will fall in love with him?Who would fall in love with a monster who doesn't even understand love?

The more he cares, the more he destroys everything in the end.

"If one day you return to the human world, what do you plan to do?" There is a bear red light all around, only the land he occupies is lush with greenery.Stepping on the bright green leaves is no less than when he regarded human life as nothing, and made that very crisp sound...

"It's an accident to sympathize with monsters... You, shouldn't you ascend to heaven and reincarnate? What do you do in this underworld (purgatory)?" After a fierce battle with a samurai named Minamoto Raimiko in Oeyama, his demon power was unreserved All of them were defeated by the Angang in his hand.

Because even the gods don't allow him to survive, so let's kill this monster that was born jointly by humans and gods. From the very beginning, Shuten Doji knew that his existence was destined not to be accepted by the gods of heaven and earth and those mortals. He is an existence outside this world... an existence that should not be contained by this world.

"Guard this place forever. I will use my remaining spiritual power to seal the monsters here. As long as I can, I will not let you all return to the world, including you." The person in front of him showed a faint Spiritual energy surged around him, and as long as he got close to him, he would be burned by the overflowing spiritual energy.

"Hmph... human beings are really fragile and terrifying... Oe-san, the war between me and you is over, Abe Seimei..."

When your spiritual power is exhausted, it is the time for me to return.

When I Shuten-douji returns, I will definitely sit back on the throne of the king of ghosts and live forever.

"You haven't answered my question—what do you plan to do when you return to the human world one day?" However, that person already knew that Shuten-douji would eventually return to the human world—but by then, His spiritual power has already been exhausted.

But even so...

"There is nothing worthy of my nostalgia after I lose it. For me, no matter what era, Dajiangshan is the same for me to recast several times."

The hatred for the world and the gods, in fact, I was also tired at that time...

But no matter what, what I think of is to live again——I will become a ghost at that time, but I still have that unforgotten wish in my heart: I must live, I must live.No matter how the world treats me, I will definitely live on...

Until his heart was also distorted, until he took revenge on the people at the foot of Naibuki Mountain and the descendants of Namino Raimitsu, Shuten-douji had already been wiped out of his heart by reality.

And the appearance of Concubine Xia, who had always trampled on human life like a mustard, saw how much Xingxiong boy valued a person-he gradually discovered the feeling of being cherished and valued by someone. longing for...

But in the face of human beings, in the past, the feelings of biological mothers and adoptive parents could no longer be conveyed to my ears. With the passage of time, they had long been buried at the bottom of scolding and hatred, leaving my own Just a vain fantasy.

In Purgatory, Abe Seimei created a small piece of land with phantom. It can be said that it is the only green land in the hot magma and fire. Of course, the whole purgatory gradually gathered many monsters to chat and laugh together. It's like...the human world is obviously an enemy, but in this world of death, it's like letting go of everything, and spend it in eternal purgatory.

Of course, that is an individual, there are quite a few monsters in Purgatory who want to take advantage of the opening of the gate of Hades to return to the human world, including Shuten-douji himself...

The gate of Hades, which only opens once every 200 years, has been tightly bound by onmyojis inside and outside all the time—how long will it take to leave this world?

"..." looked up at a dark purple vortex in the dark sky, eyes closed tightly, and a golden circle of light around it was tightly enclosing it, as if it was going to be firmly fixed , not letting the road to the world appear at all—but it has been 500 years, and Abe Seimei has been guarding here for so long, and his spiritual power is about to weaken.

For Shuten-douji, who had been waiting for the day of his return, it seemed ridiculous to him to talk with those see-through youkai in purgatory.

No matter what, I will not be willing to stay here forever, waiting for when Purgatory will gradually go to destruction.He who was walking towards death like this was far from being satisfied—"So...you must have reached your limit." At this moment, a deep and feminine female voice came from behind him, and Shuten-douji first said something. Dazed, when he turned his head, he saw a beautiful woman in white twelve singles standing in front of her eyes.

"Don't suddenly appear behind me, or I'll give you a straight knife." Shuten Doji frowned at this moment, and a sharp and terrifying dimness appeared in his sharp golden pupils. Turning around, he saw that her whole body was white, even His hair was also bright silver, and he felt a little out of place in this fiery red world: "Ge Ye, thank you for your ridiculous son who would do such a stupid thing, this place is tightly closed by him, isolated from the upper world Are you willing to accept this kind of thing?"

"..." The woman whose name was given didn't speak at this moment, but said in silence for a moment: "That's his choice, and as a mother, I will definitely support him with all my strength." Ge Ye firmly said this sentence, which was very meaningful He stared at the monster in front of him.Shuten-douji, in her eyes, is a human being with a miserable life experience who has embarked on the road of becoming a monster.

"Qingming said, didn't you answer the question at that time?" Ge Ye said lightly, with an aura that didn't match this between his brows: "Poor person, in order to survive, he threw away all his love and became a pure Youkai who kill and live, do you really not remember the emotions you felt when you were human?"

"..." Just listening to Ge Ye's words made Shuten-douji a little unhappy, but out of respect for his elders, it was rare for him to finish listening to Ge Ye-"...Hey..." Shuten-douji whispered at this moment Frowning tightly, he said in disgust: "I don't need you two to take care of my affairs. As I said, there is nothing worthy of my nostalgia after it is lost—"

"It's impossible for a person to live only in pure pain...you must have not noticed it." Ge Ye was about to continue, but Shuten Doji suddenly yelled out a sentence: "I don't want you two to be together in my whole life. Make an evaluation!" And when he looked directly at Ge Ye's face, he suddenly found a group of bright red blood streaks gradually emerging on one side of her cheek--the continuously curved red streaks extended to the center, and the dark platycodon print ...

"...This is... what..." Shuten-douji couldn't help being stunned, looking at the mark, he felt that it was not a trace left by a curse, but more like—"The seal of the five elements... must have a lot of spiritual power to realize it At this moment, Ge Ye lowered his eyes and stretched out his hand to caress the mark on his face, even though one side of his face was already covered with it, Ge Ye still looks beautiful like this.

It was as if the snow-white was stained with a little bright red—"The blood mark that burdened Seimei's body in order to seal the big tengu."

Shuten-douji knew that Abe Seimei was actually just a half-demon in the final analysis, and all his spiritual power came from the fox fairy Ge Ye.

The big tengu is only sealed now, because immediately after the seal, Abe Seimei's body could no longer support the activation of the Five Elements Seal, and finally he was sealed by the hand of Kamo Sara, Kamo Sara's own brother - but failed to kill big tengu...

"This blood mark is a dangerous blood mark." Ge Ye said lightly at this time: "Not only for those onmyojis who overuse Yin-Yang skills, but also for half-demons who can use Yin-Yang skills and demon power at the same time, absolutely not A taboo." Ge Ye raised his head and looked at Shuten Doji: "Once a powerful formation like the Five Elements Seal is activated, it will appear on that person's body and absorb all of that person's power, including life. "

"..." Shuten-douji didn't speak during the period, but just silently listened to Ge Ye's talk about the past, but—"In order to protect Aiko, did you just exchange blood with Abe Seimei at Kamosara? At this moment, did you secretly transfer the blood mark to yourself?"

"..." Ge Ye didn't speak, but just acquiesced: "Qingming doesn't know about this, and I don't want him to know."

"...Hmph..." For some reason, Jiu Tun-douji was slightly shocked in his heart, "It's so boring..." At the same time he was shocked, he raised his lips indifferently, with a slight aftertaste of sarcasm: "Being Being entangled in such boring things, that's why you are the ones who live the most painful lives." He actually didn't understand why Kamosharo and Ge Ye could sacrifice so much for Abe Seimei?On the contrary, facing such a self, who has the blood of gods and humans, he is far inferior to Abe Seimei in terms of "acquisition".

So this has become one of the most important reasons why he hates Abe Seimei.

"You will definitely meet someone who is truly willing to give everything for you, even if the past is lost—but you will always meet..."

met a...

A person who silently dedicates even if he is hurt...

At this moment, the pair of golden pupils looked at the figure pinched by him in surprise, raised her hand, and stabbed the sharp sword directly at his shoulder...
