A beautiful but fleeting dream, a long, long-lasting but harsh reality.

Comparing the two, which one is more cruel?

In a barren land far away from the village, a tall young man sat casually on the muddy land under the maple tree, holding a person in his arms, he tightened his arms, and the fabric printed light-colored marks on his chest.Neither of them made a sound. After a while, the young man lowered his head and gently rubbed the pale cheek of the man in his arms.

Obviously the season when the maple leaves should be red has not yet come, but in his eyes he vaguely saw the messy red maple leaves flying all over the sky, which made him a little confused whether all this was a dream or reality.

"Snake..." He gritted his teeth, shaking out the word for a long time.

..................................................................

"My aunt hasn't been out of the house for several days." Lixiang led Nana and a group of little monsters to peek at Guhuo's room at a corner near the corner, discussing in one go.

"Why don't you go and see Shantu?" The virgin wore her favorite bright yellow clothes today, encouraging Shantu to be the first to eat crabs.

"Why don't you go first!" Shantu muttered and retorted, "You want me to be scolded by my aunt? I'm not stupid..."

The virgin looked at her as a matter of course, "Because I don't want to be scolded either!"

It would be nice if Yingcao was here at this time, but...

"Sister Aying doesn't seem very happy either..."

"What should I do..." The children looked at each other in blank dismay, completely lost their minds.

Suddenly, several children tugged Karna's hanging red cloak, "You are the tallest, you go..."

Lixiang twitched the corners of his mouth, and interrupted Shantu and the others before Karna could respond, "Don't make trouble."

"Don't worry about it." Li Xiang suppressed the unease, and rubbed their hair one by one, "I'll go and see my aunt, you can go and play first, it's fine."

Who would have thought that the children would look at me and you, but none of them would leave. They said in unison, "We are here waiting for Sister Lixiang, and we are not going anywhere."

Li Xiang nodded, knowing that he couldn't persuade them to leave, so he said with a smile, "Then you have to be good."

The children raised by Gu Huo Niao are worried about her even if they are afraid of being scolded. If Li Xiang hadn't said to go and see, they would have broken in sooner or later, right?

"—button"

Li Xiang reached out and knocked on the wooden door frame, "Auntie, am I coming in?"

"Honey... well, come in." She turned to look at the girl standing against the light at the door.

At this time, the girl she saw seemed to have shed its heavy shackles, her eyes were steady and soft, and Li Xiang looked at her worriedly, whether to let go...or the calm before the storm?

"Auntie, are you okay..." Lixiang closed the door behind her, "Shantu and the others are very worried about you."

"What about you?" Gu Huo looked at her fixedly, her eyes were full of the other's smile and citrus-colored hair, she stubbornly pursued an answer, "Are you worried?"

Li Xiang smiled helplessly, "Can you not worry?"

She would rather that the other party has been chasing her around energetically all the time, or started "snapping" at the old man frog with the broom god, and the one with the demon fox is a lesson.Instead of being alone in the house for several days like now, you can see the kerosene lamp in her house going on and off all night even at night.

Gu Huo looked at her hesitantly, and finally smiled with relief, "Speaking of... I haven't asked your name yet, have I?"

Guhuo Bird's eyes, which had always been covered with a layer of shadow, began to brighten. It seemed that because of the light, they turned to a clearer color, which was a thin, smoky green that did not attract dust.

She completely reversed the sky and the earth in her heart, turned the hazy sky into land, and twisted the watery ground into a blue sky, just to straighten the images of those people in her heart.

Helplessly, no matter in the past or the present, she will finally start to face all these things squarely.

She heard the girl's cautious voice, and the child said——

"I am... Fujimaru Tachika."

"Lixiang? It's a good name." Gu Huo got up, and casually brushed up her snow-white hair in front of the bronze mirror. She picked up the red umbrella that had been left on the shelf, "I made you worry."

"I've thought about it these days. The two Shuten-dojis are both Shuten-douji with the same evil spirit. But you are indeed... not my mandarin." She lifted her foot, and the tall wooden shoes clicked. Beating the floor, like the drums that announced the result.

Gu Huo stood still in front of the door, with his back to the girl, "Mikan died when she was less than seven years old, even if she grows up...she should be an old girl after decades."

"Later, all the children would call me aunt, and only mandarin called me mother, but I never objected to you calling me aunt, and subconsciously called myself aunt."

"Because, I knew it a long time ago... It's just that I don't want to get out of a dream. What Qing Ji said is right, isn't it, I know it in my heart."

Her call had long since been alone in the morning, which was cooler than the night, but could not be answered.But for the sake of those who have been waiting for her, her heart could not sleep that day, decayed and decayed.

Frog Porcelain Pot picked her up, taught her things, and raised her to be independent, not just to watch her die.

Those who are alive are the most painful, because there are people waiting for you, so you have to persevere.What a cliche sentence, but the reality is like this, even if it's for the frog jar, she has to endure it.

Now... No matter who it is for, she has to come out. This heavy love and longing is unfair to both Mikan and Lixiang.

"Lixiang... come with me to see Qingming, he has been worrying a lot for a long time." Gu Huo walked out first, resisting the desire to look back.

She was afraid that when there were only two of them, once she turned her head, she would never want to take a step forward again.

Li Xiang stared at her back in a daze for a while, the sunshine after the rain fell on her body, giving people the illusion that the sunlight had also become weaker.That silver-white hair was plated with a layer of light golden light, quietly waiting for the moment of resurrection from dying under the sun.

The girl suddenly realized that the other party was about to leave her sight, and hurriedly chased after her. When passing the corner, she smiled at the children to reassure them.

"My aunt and I went to see Master Qingming, you are not allowed to quarrel, and Nana will take care of them!" After receiving Karna's response, the girl went to the main hall with confidence.

After the girls arrived at the main hall, what greeted them was not the scene Lixiang had imagined.

Abe Seimei, who was sitting peacefully, was probably drinking tea, or writing calligraphy.Seeing the arrival of the guhuo bird, he would say hello, with a slight smile, and his eyes were full of sly looks that had been expected.

None of these things that should have happened happened. What greeted them was a mess all over the floor. The celadon bottle was broken, and the flowers in the bottle had long since disappeared. A pile of white letter paper.

Gu Huoniao pulled Li Xiang behind her, raised the oil-paper umbrella and waved away the stack of papers, and the two of them stared into the house.

Shuten-douji, who left that day, came back at some point. At this time, he was holding Seimei's lapel tightly, and punched him against the wall. Behind Shuten-douji, Boya pulled him hard, stopping the attack. A fist about to fall.

"Why didn't you send Hongye back that day! Why didn't you follow her!" Shuten Doji growled lowly. If anger could ignite people, then Abe Seimei in front of him would have been burnt out long ago. .

"Shuten-douji, what's the matter with you today!" Boya was also angry, "Didn't you be afraid that Seimei would approach Hongye before!"

Li Xiang was completely dumbfounded, which song is this singing? ?She was at a loss and looked at Gu Huo Niao who was standing in front of her.

As if she had a tacit understanding with her, Gu Huo Niao asked, "What's going on with you! Are you all crazy?"

"Women don't care about men's affairs!" ×2

Shuten-douji and Yuan Boya yelled out without looking back.

Li Xiang looked at Gu Huo Niao in fear, as if she could hear the voice of the other party's veins throbbing, so she took a step back silently, and as expected, Gu Huo suddenly became violent the next moment.

The vermilion umbrella wrapped in her wings fluttered slightly with the white-painted gold-backed sleeves, and flew out at a speed that blurred people's eyes, clinging to the back of Shuten-douji's head and cutting off his hairband, death Dead wedged into the wall.

Boya looked at the bright red hair scattered in front of his eyes, swallowed his throat calmly, and quietly moved away from the umbrella sword that was close at hand.

The scene was quiet for a while, the three big men remained motionless in a rather funny posture, and the atmosphere began to settle.

"Calm down?" Gu Huo Niao narrowed his eyes and glanced at them, "Tell me, what's going on."

The three of them let go one by one like an arhat, barely finding a good place to line up and sit down one by one.

Shuten-douji let his own hair be disheveled, his eyebrows and eyes unkempt.

"..."

"Hongye is dead."

"!!! What are you talking about!" Boya couldn't sit still for a moment. It is true that he often quarreled with Hongye and called her a fierce woman, but this does not mean that the relationship is not good, and he can hear the news of the other party's death indifferently.

Qingming maintained his composure, rubbing the bruise on his forehead just now, "What's going on?"

"Being a sacrifice by fellow countrymen, secretly robbed him, and sacrificed to the 'snake god'. Died in the wild where there is no one, and his soul has disappeared." His pair of violet pupils, gloomy like a piece of stagnant water.

"Have you asked God Yan Mo?"

"That nasty woman said that Hongye's soul is not with her."

"I found her in a remote wilderness where the birds don't shit. She seemed to be asleep and never responded to my call." Shuten Doji muttered and fell into the memory, "I knew it would be This is the result... It would be better to keep her in Dajiangshan when she was offered to me as a sacrifice."

"But she doesn't smile..." He wrinkled his nose, full of childishness, "But it's too embarrassing to let her go like this! So I contacted Abe Seimei to 'rescue' her away."

"I didn't expect her to fall in love with Qingming, did you! You've nagged me eight hundred times!"

"If I had known it would be like this..." The ghost king who leads the group of ghosts, the big demon Jiu Tuntong who sits in Dajiangshan, his eyes are full of panic at this time, "Even if she never smiles again, she is even more honest with me, compared to these... I don't even want to see her silent."

"Abe Seimei." He suddenly became very serious, and he could no longer see the slightest gaffe, "You want to seal Yamata no Orochi, I will help."

"For the red leaves."

It doesn't matter if they are human or monsters, there are always some unforgettable scenery in their life, which amazes their whole life at a glance.

This is how the red leaves are to Shuten. The beauty dancing under the fiery maple leaves, just looking back, made the ghost king of Dajiangshan remember his whole life.

He asked the people in the town to offer him red leaves as a sacrifice, but unexpectedly she never smiled again, so he let her go.

Jiu Tun-douji never thought that Hong Ye would die, who would mess with the girl the King of Ghosts likes?

But Hongye died, in a place where there was nothing left, Shuten-douji hugged her, and lightly rubbed her cheek, the blood from the corner of her lips stained his eyelashes.

In Bloody's field of vision, Shuten-douji seemed to see that the maple leaves that were not yet red turned red in that instant, and fell down.

Shuten-douji couldn't tell whether it was the blood of Hongfeng or Hongye.

Shuten-douji didn't know whether this was a dream or reality, and he didn't want to know.

He only knew that he had lost, and he had lost completely in those years.

Lost to her looking back.
