Bamboo branch girl

The temporary snow covered the footprints on the snow, which may be telling her that Huang may not have left yet, and he may be nearby waiting for her to say a word of apology.

But how could she say sorry?

Although it is wrong to take the Kusanagi sword without authorization to rescue the Yamata no Orochi who destroyed Kyoto, but there is no express rule that she is not allowed to repay her favor.It's just that the object of her gratitude happened to be a big snake.

After all, Zhuji is not a human being, and she simply cannot understand how arrogant and ignorant human beings are.

At the beginning, human beings privately used Yamata no Orochi to quietly establish prosperity and enjoy many years of living and working in peace and contentment.Now people want to take back the prosperity, they are obsessed with comfort again, not only do not leave life and death, but also ask the gods to seal the Yamata no Orochi.

According to this point of view, Yamata no Orochi is actually being played around by humans, and he is the most innocent beast in the world.

The roasted snakes could not be revived, so Zhuji could only wait for the next wave of little snakes to come.

In this way, she curled up, resting her chin, and waited for almost half the night. During the period, several strange monsters came and went, but Huang still didn't appear, which meant that he was gone long ago.

This time, Huang was really angry.

Takehime was disappointed and refused to give up seeing Yamata no Orochi, she struggled for a while, and finally decided to go with the new batch of little snakes.

Anyway, Huang will not forgive her if this happens. Now it is better to ask Yamata no Orochi what to do next.Or in other words - how to regain Huang's trust in her.

Several snakes led Zhuji to the snake's lair.

It was a hidden place, sparsely arranged will-o'-the-wisps wandering around, the blue will-o'-the-wisps sometimes danced around Zhuji's side, and sometimes illuminated the dark path like a guide.

"Hahahaha—! Hahahahaha..."

Not far away came Yamata no Orochi's laughter. His laughter was similar to that of a treacherous uncle, but it sounded a little stupid, not like a big villain at all.

Well, in fact, in Zhuji's eyes, he is not a villain at all, but a poor beast.

"What should I do, Lord Yamata no Orochi..." As soon as they met, Takehime confided to Yamata no Orochi.

Yamata no Orochi shook seven heads at the same time, and only one body was speaking seriously: "So where is the Kusanagi sword?"

Zhuji sat on the ground with her buttocks on the ground, folded her arms around her knees, couldn't stop shedding a few lines of tears, and murmured over and over again: "My brother must be angry with me...he will definitely not want me..."

The will-o'-the-wisps gathered together, some fell on Zhuji's hair, and some touched her face gently, as if to comfort her and say not to be sad.

Yamata no Orochi was stunned, and turned to say loudly: "Huh? What are you mumbling about? I'm asking you about the Kusanagi sword!"

His roar made Zhuji stand up straight in fright. She poked her finger, looked aggrieved, looked up at the eight-headed snake, then lowered her head and continued to sob: "Already...already taken away by elder brother, sorry……"

Yamata no Orochi continued to roar: "Don't cry in the sealed place!"

Her crying will inevitably arouse the commotion of the will-o'-the-wisps, and when these will-o'-the-wisps come and go to complain to the nearby onmyoji, then the seals on him will only increase, and breaking the seals will not be a matter that a Kusanagi sword can solve up.

But the more Zhuji thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and she took a few steps closer to Yamata no Orochi: "But, I have no one to talk to, they don't know about me, only Master Yamata no Orochi knows..."

Yamata no Orochi said angrily: "It's that man who messed up my affairs again and again! Is it so difficult for me to ask you to confuse his mind now?"

Takehime wiped away her tears and pouted her mouth: "If it's not difficult, Yamata no Orochi-sama doesn't need to ask me for help. Even though I slept soundly in the bamboo forest... just wait a little longer, and my brother will automatically realize it." Come and get me."

At the beginning, I was awakened by Yamata no Orochi for some reason, because Takehime was in the isolated Hiruko Well, and even Huang searched for so many years and couldn't find her.In this way, since this ancient beast is so powerful, why can't it break free from the seal?

In any case, she had no way out, so she had to obey Yamata no Orochi's command.

"It seems that the next plan is going to be changed." The clever Yamata no Orochi thought of a clever and foolproof solution!

"What should I do? I dare not go back now, for fear that he will scold me..." Zhu Ji's heart was pounding, she always felt that something bad happened.

"What you have to do is to let him be devoted to you, no matter what you do, he will think it is right. So, start from his youth... I will use part of my strength to bring you back to that time." Yamata no Orochi said.

The principle is very simple. Huang was hurt when he was a teenager, which made him suspicious and defensive towards others. As long as Yamata no Orochi uses the ancient divine power to send Takehime to that point in time, and then completes the plan to change Huang within a limited time. ——Doing so may have a slight impact on the future famine.

The risk of the plan is very high. If it fails, the evaluation of Yamata no Orochi in this world will no longer be so pure.But for the sake of freedom, in order to break through the seal, Yamata no Orochi is willing to try any absurd and impossible method!

Yamata no Orochi shook its eight heads at the same time, flung them to the ground with a "slap", and then created a big earthquake with a "boom", and there was a space under Takehime's feet in an instant, and then she fell down unprepared.

"Eh? Eight, Yamata no Orochi-sama?!"

Zhuji, who was falling further and further down, closed her eyes and screamed, her whole body was light and light, thinking that nothing would happen to her.

********

The fire is burning the skin.

When Zhuji woke up, she found that she was in a sea of ​​flames, and the sound of burning dry branches and leaves was mixed with crying with the sound of milk.However, apart from the raging red, she couldn't see anything else.

"Fire..." Zhuji slowly got up from the soil, but she couldn't think of a way to extinguish the fire.She can extinguish the black flame of Ibaraki Doji, but she doesn't know how to quell the ordinary fire.

water?Or use soil?First of all, two options popped up in her mind.

When she was about to cast the spell, the crying sound was getting closer.She looked down for the sound, and saw a girl who was only about five or six years old crying and digging into the ground.

"Why are you still crying? Why don't you run quickly?" Zhu Ji knelt down and persuaded.Ordinary people are caught in a sea of ​​fire, and if they cannot save themselves, they will yell for help a few times. How could they dig the soil in a daze?

"Look...find...find Daddy...Daddy..." The girl raised her head, her big watery eyes met Zhuji's.

She seemed to... saw her former self.

A limp little person who is lovable, unable to speak a complete sentence, unable to understand what others say, and at the same time unable to express his own thoughts clearly.The weak and helpless little pitiful struggled in this greedy village, and finally stuck to the bamboo forest to wait for him to come back...

Zhuji's memory is not very good, let alone things that happened hundreds of years ago.But looking at this girl, she recalled how stupid she was back then.

It turns out that this is what Yaqi Orochi-sama said, sending her back to the past to carry out the "extremely clever" plan?

Now that she has this opportunity, she really wants to change... Even if time is limited, she really wants to change herself who loves the Son of God deeply...

But no matter what, she absolutely couldn't do things that she would do nothing to save herself!Although she knew that "Little Bamboo Girl" would dig the soil and bury her body to escape the fire, Zhuji still made a stupid decision.

"Follow me and get out of here." Zhuji took the little hand of "Little Zhuji" and rushed out of the flames of the bamboo forest.

Then, under Zhuji's lure, "Little Bamboo Girl" was taken to the seaside.

Today is a calm day, the adults in the village should go to sea, and the old and young women in the village are all anxious about the fire in the bamboo forest on the mountain.The fire on the hill was so great that unless the gods were there to protect it, it would burn out in no time.

After receiving the news, the fishing boat changed from a small dot to a line, getting closer and closer to the coast.Zhuji took off the dragon head jade on her wrist without hesitation, and tied it firmly around the ankle of "Little Zhuji".

Before "Little Zhuji" could react, Zhuji pushed her into the sea without saying a word.

The waves came immediately, and she watched "Little Bamboo Girl"'s small body being swallowed up by the sea.

Go find your father!

As long as my father sees the pure and beautiful little Zhuji, his heart will be full of joy, and he will softly forgive her for the sins of Weiyuan in the future.Then from now on... Zhuji will never make any promises to Huang again...

Only when the slowly approaching sea boat berthed to the shore did Zhuji start to get anxious.She looked left and right for a place to hide, so as not to make everyone suspect that a stranger suddenly appeared.

The ropes of the boat were tightened, and the people on the boat rushed ashore one after another. Among them was a young man with long black hair, who was walking towards the village with them with his head down.

His frown was full of melancholy and anxiety.

"Master Huang..." Zhuji who was hiding behind the rock wanted to call his name, but suppressed her excited heart.

That was when the barbarian was a teenager...

When Mr. Huang was a teenager...ah, it was as beautiful as a piece of white jade, a piece of white jade with no impurities...

"Huang, ah!!" The one who was more excited than Zhuji was the little fat man rushing towards Huang.

The little fat man was Yasha's childhood. If he hadn't said it himself, Zhuji really couldn't believe what he went through.

"What's the matter?" Seeing the little fat man, Huang's out-of-focus eyes added a touch of warmth.

"You are the son of God, there must be a way to save Zhuji! She...she..." The little fat man was out of breath.

It turned out that the fat brother at that time ran away trying to save her... Zhuji really didn't remember, but at this time, the little Zhuji had already been thrown into the sea by her, and they should not be able to see each other in the future.

This was a cruel thing, but thinking of the more pain Xiao Zhuji would have to endure in the future, she had no choice but to return Xiao Zhuji to Sea God.

"What are you doing? Don't bother him with such trivial matters. Hurry up and go home and work for me." The little fat man's father, Pang Dahai, came out of nowhere, and dragged the little fat man by his collar. go home.

They cared more about the situation in the wilderness than about the fire on the mountain, as if the fire wasn't happening.

Also, for the villagers, for mountain fires and the like, all they need to do is wait for the rain to fall. All they have to do is to pray to the Son of God, make a wish, and—forecast.

"Our village is about to build a shrine for Huang to live in, so that he can have a quiet place to predict more accurate disasters for us, do you have any opinions?" Someone came out and shouted.

"A very good idea, the son of God should live in the shrine."

"I support."

"I agree!"

But it was out of the sea once, and the fire on the mountain is still burning. Why did you decide to build a shrine now?

Zhuji couldn't recall what happened at that time. She seemed to have fled to another village at that time, and she didn't know anything about this village.

The author has something to say: So Yamata no Orochi asked Takehime to go back to the days when she lived by the sea, re-raid Huang, and make Huang into the ideal appearance in Yamata no Orochi's heart.

Maybe come back tomorrow.
