Hundred Ghosts Journey · Life is like summer flowers

"Xia Hua!!" A deafening shout suddenly came from next to his ears, and Shuten-douji's consciousness suddenly fell into chaos, as if his originally calm heart was suddenly forced into too many disturbing things.

Seeing the woman in front of her biting her lips tightly, she stabbed the sharp sword in her hand towards her shoulder.It was obvious that the clenched throat was already suffocating, but she deliberately stabbed herself at this moment, making her wake up in a vague consciousness—"You can kill her! But you—you can only lose forever!!"

In front of them, Daitengu yelled, saying what he had been holding back all this time: "Shuten-douji, if you kill her here, it is inevitable that you will be blamed!" Shuten-douji initially The crime was that he killed his beloved Tamazamo with his own hands, but these words seemed to recall the memories that were sleeping deep in his heart...

"Are you... are you going to kill again?"

"Are you going to let yourself have nothing?"

"Didn't you agree to watch this child grow up?"

——My original wish was just to watch her grow up...

But I don't know why, when I really realized that I needed her, she had already been taken out of Dajiangshan, and she lived in the world for eight years with hatred for herself—"Xia...Xia Hua..." He Listening to the call just now, trying to call out her name, more images flooded into his brain in an instant, causing a look of forbearance to appear on his face.

"Hmm... ah..." Xia Hua tightly grasped the spirit cut pill in her hand and stabbed it deeply into her shoulder, biting her lips tightly to regain consciousness, no matter what, she couldn't give up on him—"Wine... ...Tun...Boy...already...all right...well." She lifted the other hand to hold his neck, which was pinched around his neck, without exerting any force.But the temperature felt from her hands is slowly decreasing: "It won't...make you...pain... anymore."

"..." Seeing the bright red circle on her shoulder getting bigger and bigger, Shutendouji's eyes seemed to be colored by this blood red, and suddenly, a purple circle appeared around him Barrier - surrounded the two of them at once.

"Xiahua!" Seeing the sudden appearance of the barrier, Hoshikuma Boy hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but was stopped by the big tengu who suddenly appeared in front of him: "Trust them... If that guy is really like that Cherish your daughter, he won't do anything to her." After that, he looked at Ibaraki Doji beside him and nodded silently, then looked at Slider behind them: "I won't forgive you, slippery one." His words At that time, he pulled out the Taidao from his waist and pointed it at the cup: "Come on, as the last strongest monster, I will fight you here."

"Hmph..." Hua Piao just smiled coldly, but she was secretly worried about the current Shuten-douji in her heart.The forbidden technique that could have controlled Shuten-douji seems to be being disturbed by Natsuka, so now that he is outside the purple barrier, Hua Piao doesn't know what will happen to them, and he doesn't know how to continue to control Shuten-douji...

But as long as Shuten Doji's heart is stabilized, I can control him again...

Thinking of this, the corners of Hua Piao's mouth raised an arc that didn't care about Daitengu, and his gray eyes were still full of absolute certainty: "You might die here."

"Odaitengu!" Hoshikuma-douji stepped forward at this time, immediately stretched out his hand to grab Daitengu and said, "That's right... Tamamomae died, and Shuten-douji-sama has become like this—but as the last I, who 'survived', let me help you too." Ibaraki-douji interrupted what Hoshikuma-douji wanted to say at this time, and looked at Yuba in front of him with a sneer: "You trampled on Shuten-douji-sama? Dignity and the crime of killing Hoshikuma Doji and his beloved wife, I will settle it with you right here—!" As soon as the words fell, he and Otengu clenched the swords in their hands at the same time, and the figures of the two demons blinked. Then disappeared into the air.

"..." Hua Piao was stunned for a moment, and when he suddenly felt something passing by on his left side - the sword light flashed, and at the same time as the piercing sound of knives clashing against each other, Hua Piao saw the figure in front of him There was a cloud of black air, and the golden pupils glowed with a dark light at this moment, is that... Ibaraki-douji?

Facing Ibaraki Doji in front of him, Hua Piao felt the suppressed demonic power constantly overflowing, and the slender ghost horns grew from his forehead, so he couldn't help being a little frightened.But Ibaraki Doji roared again at this moment: "Shuaba, I will definitely kill you, I will definitely kill you, I will definitely kill you!"

Ibaraki Doji swung the sword in his hand and quickly rushed towards Hualao. Hualao immediately used the sword in his hand to block several knives, and when he had no time to react, a gust of wind suddenly whizzed past—"Ugh!" Suddenly, the mat was swept away. The coming gust of wind surrounded Hua Piao, and Hua Piao's vision suddenly entered into chaos, but the only thing he could feel was that millions of small knives sprayed deep water from his body like cutting his own flesh and blood. Red liquid——"Ah——!" Hua Piao couldn't bear the pain and exclaimed, until he saw two different monsters suddenly appear above and in front of him as the wind faded, and his whole body was surrounded by black mist Ibaraki-douji, and the big tengu with black wings holding a dagger, looked at him with two pairs of golden and blood-colored pupils at the same time, but at this moment, the eyes full of hatred and anger suddenly angered Yuba.

"..." The silver-haired monster suddenly waved the light of the knife in his hand, completely resisting the attacks of the two monsters above and in front: "You don't understand...why you still don't understand..." His body was at this moment A faint deep purple light appeared, gradually becoming apparent as if burning.

At this time, the face covered by the silver hair was covered with bright red bloodstains, and the blood drops falling on the ground gradually stained his clothes a deeper black: "I don't understand anything!!!!" Just as Hua Piao suddenly yelled When he said this, Xingxiong boy noticed something at this moment, and shouted loudly: "Danger!"

But the words still couldn't keep up with the actions, Hoshikuma Doji also immediately pulled out the sword and rushed over, seeing that the moment Hualao gathered the demon power to the sword, it immediately pierced his body in diameter from his back—"cough ..." The back was pierced suddenly, although it was not fatal, but for Hua Piao now, this blow just distracted himself from concentrating his demon power: "Xingxiong Boy..." Hua Piao at this time Frowning slightly, bright red blood gradually overflowed from the mouth: "You guys—why don't you understand me!!" With a sudden burst of anger, the monster power gathered around Hua Piao suddenly gathered, and all of a sudden, the people around him Tengu and the others bounced off.

"Be careful!" But facing the power of Hualao, Datengu and the others did not show any surprise, and quickly dodged away.

"Cough... um..." And when Hoshikuma-douji left him, the tachi that was inserted into his back was also bounced away by his sudden eruption of demon power, and stuck in the diameter of the ground. However, because of this, Hua Piao's body was full of blood, and the blood was slowly overflowing, and the dripping blood slowly formed a circle, surrounding him.

"You said... what we don't understand..." Daitengu landed on the ground at this moment, stood between Ibaraki Doji and Hoshikuma Doji, frowned and asked coldly: "Could it be that everything you do is intentional?" Is there a reason?"

"..." Hua Piao didn't speak, but his mind went blank because of the massive blood loss, but—"Master Hua Piao!!!"

Suddenly breaking this chilling and cold atmosphere, Ibaraki Doji saw that Ashiya Chitose and others had rushed here.

"Why are you here!" Datengu frowned, holding the sword tightly in front of Hualao.

"..." And when Chitose Ashiya and Chitose Yu Daoan saw the slipper at this time, their entire brains went blank for an instant, "Why...how..." Chitose Ashiya was stunned, looking at the slippery slipper in such a state of embarrassment Can't help but startled.

"Master Huayao! Master Huayao!" Just when Mu Yifang wanted to take a step forward, the big tengu pointed his sword at Mu Yifang's neck: "Don't come over!"

"..." In an instant, Iori Hime, Kawain Goshi, and Ashiya Chitei who were present did not dare to speak, and the cat only looked at Hua Piao, with an unknown look in his eyes: "Why...you want to do this... ..." Yu Daoan opened his mouth slowly, and Ashiya Chitose gradually regained a little consciousness from the confusion.

"..." Seeing that Hua Piao didn't answer, Ibaraki Doji held up the sword at this time, and when he was about to walk towards Hua Piao, Hoshikuma Doji grabbed him—"What do you mean! Don't you want to avenge yourself? !" Ibaraki Doji turned around and immediately became furious, his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of hatred: "You all were framed and hurt by this guy! Damn you! Don't you!!" Stand Soon they became firm, Daitengu and Ibaraki Doji wanted to kill Hualao no matter what they said—even if anyone in the eyes wanted to stop it...

"But..." Muichibo was about to step forward, and when Yu Daoan and Ashiya Chitose wanted to stop him, Hoshikuma Doji calmly said at this moment: "Blindly hating will only lead us to perdition, I am not I came here because I wanted revenge, but..."

"But ah! He killed you, didn't he! He controlled Shuten-douji and killed you again with the help of a cat! It was all done by this unforgivable slipper—you know that Shuten-douji thought it was him who killed you all this time. Do you feel so guilty for losing you and Concubine Xia!" Iorihime suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at her father's back when Ibaraki-douji yelled this sentence, "Shuten-douji...guilt...?"

"..." Hoshiguma-douji was yelled at by Ibaraki-douji at this time, and the cat lowered his head again, looking at Iorihime beside him: "I will not drive away my own sins—my sins are my own. Will face it."

After finishing speaking, a sarcasm like sneer suddenly entered their ears, and the slightly hopeless laughter was full of madness, coming from Hua Piao's mouth: "Huh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!" Hua Piao had lost the strength to stand up, knelt down in blood and laughed slowly—"You guys...why don't you always understand me...huh...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

"I will kill you." Ibaraki Doji was extremely dissatisfied with his arrogant laughter, and immediately pointed the sword at the top of his head—"No!!" Muichibo stepped forward immediately, and before Daitengu's sword could be withdrawn, He scratched his arm all of a sudden—"Uh..." Perhaps it was because of Mu Yibo that Ibaraki-douji stopped immediately and looked at him in surprise.

"You... this sincerity is good, but—" Dai Tengu hurriedly withdrew his sword, seeing that Mu Yifang was only slightly scratched, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sweetie..." At this moment, Ashiya Chitose suddenly took a step forward, silently walked in front of the big tengu, and then stopped, "Why... did you kill... Xia Hua's parents..." He said slowly Knowing the facts, his voice trembled slightly.If everything is a plan, then such a slippery scoop is simply horrifying to him...

"Hmph... Hoshikuma-douji..." Hua Piao looked at Ibaraki-douji in front of her and raised the corners of her mouth evilly, sneering and slowly expressing her sincerity: "I... have always been looking forward to the coexistence between humans and demons— In this world, people are afraid of demons... demons are also afraid of and hurt people...but ah..." He looked at Yu Daoan at this moment, lowered his eyes and sneered a few times: "Edo fought against the big tengu, and Xia I was the one who stole the flower's rosary..."

As soon as these words were uttered, Yudaoan and Ashiya Chitose seemed to be stimulated, and their brains fell into a vacuum in an instant-it was not Shuten-douji who hurt Xia Hua all this time, but Yuba?

"Shua Piao!!!" Yu Daoan remembered the pain that Xia Hua had suffered afterwards, and her sins and feelings for Hua Piao erupted all of a sudden. She roared and called out his name, but her eyes were on him Tears slowly overflowed: "Why did you do this! Why did you do this! If you don't do this—" Yu Daoyin doesn't have to die...

After she spoke, she gradually lost the courage to speak, and Iori Hime and Mao stepped forward again, holding her respectively to calm her down.

"Yeah...my sin is really serious..." He looked at Chitose Ashiya at this time, and behind him and Ayi, who had always trusted him, both widened their eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "If you don't do that... …Shuten-douji can’t die. If he doesn’t die, the world where humans and demons coexist will never come.” Everything is because he wanted to kill Shuten-douji, and only the cats present knew this—— Fang, it is completely unnecessary for Hua Piao to know about this.

"..." Mu Yifang listened to Hua Piao's self-report, shook his head and took a step back, then supported himself with a staff: "Master Hua Piao...then you are also to us..."

"I'm very happy, Muichibo... to be able to meet you in Edo—" Huabao sneered, and continued: "You are just... a tool to fight against Daitengu and Shuten Doji...so ..." His gray pupils gradually faded, "I've already said everything... that's enough." He looked at Hoshikuma Doji and Iori Hime, the corners of his mouth raised without the slightest remorse: "You are the only one My fault is that Shuten-douji has been resurrected in this era." Suddenly, Ibaraki-douji, who had been silent on the sidelines, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and when he raised his sword and was about to chop it down—"Stop!"

It was Mu Yifang who shouted these words.

"Shut up, I don't have time to wait for your nonsense!" Ibaraki Doji roared angrily, looking at Huabao in front of him without any intention of resisting, he couldn't help but clenched the sword in his hand, and when he was about to swing it down again—"Ootengu! !" This time, the big tengu who was also standing next to him directly reached out and grabbed his wrist, making him stop his movements: "It's...enough." He looked at Hoshikuma-douji and his eyes. Ichibo, and even Ashiya Chitose and the others, "Everyone gathered here is connected to each other because of Huayao... Huayao has no ability to fight at all." I wanted to give him another poisonous knife to vent my anger, but Ootengu knows that doing this is no different from slipping.

In fact, when Hoshiguma Doji said, "Blindly hating will only lead us to perish", Ootengu's position began to waver - "Living in the past will only lead us to perish..." Ootengu said at this time Saying the same words as Hoshikuma Doji, he slowly put down his hands: "We have more important things than this, don't we?" He looked at the dark purple barrier beside him, and frowned slightly.

"Sister... sister is in there?" Although Iorihime and the others noticed this at the beginning, but when they saw Yuba lying in a pool of blood like this, they couldn't help being drawn away—"Well, together with Shuten-douji ..." Xingxiong boy said, raised his head and looked there, a look of worry could not help but appear in his eyes.

"..." And the white wolf walked out from Muichibo at this time, stopped at Iorihime's side, "Sister...she is with Shuten-douji..." Iorihime said silently at this moment, Recalling what I said to Xia Hua before, I couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in my heart—it turned out that I didn't know anything, it turned out that I had been living in a birdcage all along...

She didn't know why Xia Hua fell in love with Shuten-douji, but when she heard Ibaraki-douji tell everything, she realized that Shuten-douji also cherished her sister.

"I... said such exaggerated things..." Iori Hime was covering her lips at this moment, hot tears began to flow out, and the white wolf leaned against her clothes and rubbed her lightly.

"..." Watching the big tengu put down his hand, Ibaraki Doji raised the knife stiffly for a moment, then slowly put it down: "Damn..." He gritted his teeth and left the last sentence to slip. Scoop and walked aside.Seeing that Ibaraki Doji and Ootengu no longer resisted him, Meichibo and Ashiya Chitose immediately walked up to Hualao's side.

"Chitose..." "Chitose-sama..." At this moment, Goshi Kawain noticed the bleak sadness on the faces of Ashiya Chitei and Ayi. Think of Slippery as a friend...

"Heh... what..." I felt my sight dimmed, and when Hua Piao raised her head, she found Ashiya Chitose and Meichibo beside her: "You are still willing to accept me after being fooled like this?" Piao sneered self-deprecatingly, lowered his eyes and admired his own ending—he has never been wiped out of his original wish. If the coexistence of humans and monsters can be realized, then the pain of those monsters will no longer have to be inherited .

Even though onmyoji is gradually weakening, the corresponding monsters are gradually disappearing.This world may have begun to become darker, if this continues, there will be no place for monsters.

"I know...Master Huapiao..." Mu Yifang said softly at this time, slightly straightened Huapiao and said, "It was you who brought us together in Edo and gave us a place to live." Even Hearing Hua Piao say such ugly words, but Mu Yifang has been following Hua Piao, and his understanding of him is not that shallow—"You just... just used the wrong method..." Mu Yifang's next words, Hua Piao didn't listen to it anymore, but the previous sentence alone struck deeply in his heart: Yes, when did it become like this?Obviously, I, who likes to get along with humans so much, killed humans with my own hands... I should approve of the love between humans and demons—when did I destroy them, and also the life of that half-demon child?

"Yeah... there must be something... wrong." Just as Hua Piao was talking to himself, the voice of Ashiya Chitose came from next to his ear: "There must be something wrong... it must be You really want to realize this wish quickly—that's why..." Hua Piao raised his head at this moment, looking at Chitose Ashiya and at the same time looking at Yu Daoyan behind him. Looking this way, the moment the two pairs of eyes looked at each other, Yu Daoan's eyes gradually hesitated and lowered slightly.

"Shuten-douji...has lost interest in human beings for a long time..." And above, Ibaraki-douji's resentful voice suddenly came: "If he is still the old Shuten-douji...then Concubine Xia may have given birth in Oeyama Natsuka and Shana..." Ibaraki Doji's rhetorical question is undoubtedly absolute, but facing the pain that everyone has suffered along the way, Ibaraki Doji is holding the Taidao tightly and biting his lips, his eyes are getting more and more resentful, and At this moment, a figure suddenly walked into him again: "It's good that the truth comes out...it's all right..." Looking at such a slippery scoop, Xingxiong boy didn't have the idea of ​​revenge at first, but just thought of himself His daughter would suffer so much because of him. Not only did he not blame Hua Piao, but he felt that it was his negligence as a father: "Wu Piao...he just didn't prove Shuten-douji's change with his own eyes, so he was too impatient..."

Listening to Hoshikuma Doji's words, Ashiya Chitose quickly thought of another person——Abe Shingon.

Surrounded by the barrier, she didn't know what happened to the outside world, but at this moment, Xia Hua felt the hands around her neck gradually loosen, and all her strength was drained—"Uh..." I thought He just fell down like this, but at this moment, he supported himself tightly with both hands: "As always, I really like to mess around."

Suddenly, a ghostly voice that I haven't heard for a long time came from my ear, Xia Hua couldn't help being startled, and slowly raised her head - "A woman like you, I'm afraid you are the only one in this world." The gentle golden pupil, at this time his long red hair slipped from his shoulders, and gently brushed his cheeks—"Shuten...Boy?" Xia Hua looked at him, and reached out to touch him, but her His hands were trembling, and he stopped stiffly in mid-air.

"If it was before...that's what I've always told you..." Suddenly, Shuten-douji, who was named 'Ibuki Soraki', returned to his normal tone, looking at Xia Hua gently With a smile: "Natsuka... I'm really happy to see you... Whether it's Shuten-douji in the past or Sora Ibuki--for me, you are everything to me." He looked at The bright red dyed on her shoulders, the faint doting in her eyes, and her voice like sweet spring, faded away the restlessness and pain in Xia Hua's heart.

"Kong... Ji..." Xia Hua finally reached out to hold his face, a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her eyes, gradually blurring the face in front of her eyes: "Promise me...don't leave again-I can't lose anymore You... Already, lost you once..."

"...Call me Shuten-douji..." Jiutun-douji took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to hold Xia Hua's hand, and said softly, "I will definitely make you happy, as long as you are happy..."

"Hmm..." Xia Hua nodded, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth: "Shuten-douji... Shuten-douji..." She repeated, and continued slowly: "...Can I always use the 'Ibuki Sora Ji' 'The identity... stay with me?"

"..." Jiu Tun Doji's smile stiffened a little at this moment, but Xia Hua didn't notice it—"Yeah." He nodded slightly, his smile still gentle.

The next moment, the two hugged each other and felt each other's warmth, until she kissed his thin lips, the soft touch gradually stimulated her brain - "Hmm..." At the moment she didn't notice, He opened his golden pupils, and a gloomy look gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Xia... Hua..." After gradually stopping, he put a distance between himself and her: "No matter what, please remember one thing——"

What he said next was the same as what she said at that time:

"I, too, love you."

("Shuten-douji, he also loves you.")

The moment Xia Hua raised her head, the hand holding her tightly gradually became transparent, and his figure gradually turned into a transparent illusion and disappeared——
