[Comprehensive] Natsume Reiko's trip

In Bai Qingming's eyes that could be called sad, Hei Qingming took Reiko and walked away.

Reiko gave Bai Qingming an apologetic look before leaving. Anyway, she is alone, so walking with any Qingming should be the same, right?

Although Bai Qingming doesn't think so.

Hei Qingming sent away Ootengu and Yukino who came to report to him, and Reiko also kept Yaodao Ji and other shikigami by Bai Qingming's side. In this way, they enjoyed the world of two people.

Hei Qingming led Reiko around on the uninhabited path, and did not stop until Reiko felt impatient.

Hei Qingming said with an unfinished expression, "Tired? Then take a rest, and I'll open the gate to the underworld."

"...So, it's meaningless for us to walk so many laps?"

"Reiko." Hei Qingming put his face close to Reiko's eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth, "The time with you is the most meaningful."

Reiko slapped Hei Qingming's face away, and turned her head away uncomfortably. She still couldn't adapt to Hei Qingming's overly direct behavior: "Stop talking nonsense, go and open the door."

But Hei Qingming moved closer, her voice was deliberately lowered with a hint of provocation: "Wouldn't Lingzi...give me a loving encouragement?"

After speaking, he licked his lips meaningfully.

"An! Bei! Qing! Ming!" Reiko raised her fist.

"Okay, okay, I'll go and open the door." Hei Qingming immediately shrank back, and recited the incantation to open the gate of Huangquan in a serious manner.

Reiko looked at Hei Qingming's back with fluttering black hair, and couldn't help curling her mouth.

.

After death, the soul wanders between heaven and earth.

The ghost messengers in the underworld will guide the souls, bring them to Yan Mo, accept the judgment of the eyes of good and evil, and decide the place of reincarnation in the next life.

After walking out of Hades Hall, those ghosts have to walk a long road, and the name of that road is Huangquan.

Large pieces of Bianhua flowers bloom beside Huangquan Road, the red is coquettish, like a carpet paved with blood.The faint fragrance of flowers will evoke the memory of ghosts during their lifetime, allowing them to re-experience the life they have gone through.

At the end of the flowers on the other shore is the Wangchuan River, and there is the Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River. Next to the Naihe Bridge is the Sansheng Stone. After passing the Sansheng Stone, drinking Mengpo soup, the past is gone, and a new cycle of reincarnation is started again.

This is the life after life of a human being.

At this time, the place Hei Qingming brought Reiko to was this Huangquan Road.

"I have set up an enchantment around us. Ordinary ghosts cannot detect us. Reiko, don't stay too far away from me." Life and death are different. The living should not disturb the world of the dead. If their sudden arrival is noticed by Hades , I'm afraid it will cause some trouble.

Hei Qingming does not have the friendship between Bai Qingming and Yan Mo, and even caused some festivals because of his behavior of reversing yin and yang, so it is better not to meet each other if he can not meet.

Reiko looked at everything in the underworld curiously.

In her eyes, she can clearly see the translucent souls walking on this Huangquan road covered with flowers on the other side. The people on it stop and go, some face pain, some smile, and Others left tears of remorse, as if remembering what they had done during their lifetime.

"Qingming, after we die, we will also set foot on this road to hell, right? I don't know what we will see on this road at that time."

Hei Qingming really didn't think about this question.

Humans pay attention to reincarnation, but monsters are born and raised by nature, and they will naturally return to heaven and earth after death.Even Hei Qingming didn't know what would happen after the half-demon died.

However, since you haven't thought about it, don't think about it.

"With my strength, it is naturally enough to surpass reincarnation." Hei Qingming responded lightly, as long as he doesn't want to die, there are ways to not die.

"That's not okay. When the people you care about leave one by one, leaving you alone in this world, isn't it very lonely?"

Reiko recalled the mermaid legend she had heard at the seaside, and inexplicably felt that Bhikkhuni was the girl who ate mermaid flesh. Reiko understood a little bit of the bhikkhuni's strong desire for death.

"Then leave the people around you together." Hei Qingming glanced at Reiko and said half seriously and half jokingly, "Reiko, you should really be glad that you are still alive, and you will live for a long time, otherwise, I will But there is no guarantee that I will do anything. It’s not that there is no way to resurrect the dead, but it will cost a lot... As for those costs, do you think I will care?”

Reiko stared at Hei Qingming for a long time: "If this kind of thing really happens, I will punch you to Huangquan Road and let you come down to accompany me."

"Heh!" Hei Qingming opened his fan to cover his lips, and smiled softly, "It's up to you. If you want to live, I will live with you; if you are impatient, I will come down to accompany you, and then Let Yan Mo give us a good birth, and we will continue to be together in the next life. I believe that Yan Mo will not refuse my 'little' request—if she still wants her Netherland."

"It's really domineering." Reiko couldn't help laughing, and then stretched out her little finger, "Then it's an agreement."

Hei Qingming didn't know the meaning of "pull hook", but imitating Reiko's example, he stretched out his finger and hooked with Reiko's.

The flowers of the other shore are still in full bloom, surrounded by endless streams of souls, Reiko and Hei Qingming put their thumbs on top of each other, promising their romance and commitment.

.

Where Hei Qingming and Reiko couldn't see, a girl was sitting in the sea of ​​flowers on the other side. She had a pair of beautiful red eyes like the flowers on the other side, watching every move of Hei Qingming and Reiko.

"For hundreds of years, human beings have really not changed at all. They are still so keen on promises and oaths, but how many people can do it?"

Cards fluttered in the girl's hand, sometimes turning into mysterious runes, and sometimes showing the memory of ghosts passing through Huangquan Road, full of human betrayal and broken promises.

That's right, she is the flower of the other shore, a flower watered with human memory, the more unforgettable the memory, the more beautiful the flower that blooms.

When she was just born, she was also curious about the emotions and desires of human beings, and expected the so-called family love.Therefore, she violated the rules of the underworld, turned into a human without permission, and went to the world of the living.

Everything in the human world is novel. The bright sunlight, the blue sky, and the air with the fragrance of grass and trees are all incompatible with the underworld she lives in.

Bianhua walked aimlessly in the human world, crossing deep mountains and old forests, passing through ordinary villages, meeting all kinds of people, and the freshness and vitality that never existed on Huangquan Road.

But unfortunately, she still didn't find what she was looking for.

Until one day, when Bianhua was passing through a mountain path, she met a group of robbers who were interested in sex.

Just when she was about to turn the robber into flower mud, a young samurai meddling appeared.

The samurai's skill is very good, he drove away the robbers with one enemy, and then stood in front of Bi'anhua, blushing.

"I...you...it's dangerous here, can I treat you to a meal?"

The samurai who had just begun to fall in love finally expressed his invitation to Bianhua as if he was on the guillotine, and Bianhua, who found all this very interesting, also agreed.

"My name is Musashi, may I know your name?" The samurai asked embarrassingly, rubbing his head.

"I am Biganhua, born in Wangchuan, and grew up in Huangquan." Biganhua deliberately explained her identity, and conjured an enchanting flower in the palm of her hand, waiting for Musashi's reaction like a prank.

Musashi widened his eyes, opened his mouth, looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, held back for a long time, and finally said a word: "The flowers are very beautiful, just like you."

"Pfft!" Bi'anhua laughed, she is really a strange human being, shouldn't she run away screaming at this time?

Curious about Musashi, Higanka followed Musashi back home and stayed there, wanting to observe this interesting material up close.

Higanka never concealed her differences in front of Musashi, and Musashi gradually got used to Higanka's pranks in addition to the initial fright, and the two lived in harmony like this.

In front of outsiders, Higanka became Musashi's wife, but Higanka never admitted it, and Musashi never denied it.

Musashi is getting old day by day, but Bianhua is still as beautiful as ever. Rumors about Bianhua being a monster are rampant in the village, and the villagers also keep Musashi at a respectful distance.

Bianhua looked at Musashi who was dying on the bed, and gently touched the ravine face: "Do you regret it?"

"No, I'm so happy. I can finally go and see the sea of ​​flowers on the other side that you mentioned. It must be as beautiful as you." Musashi looked at the flowers on the other side less shyly and more affectionately.

"What a strange person." Bi'an Hua muttered puzzled.

Despite living together for so long, Higanka still hasn't understood this man, which is completely different from the ghost she saw on Huangquan Road, so she wants to continue to observe and live with Musashi for a longer time.

"Okay, then I'll take you to see it." Higanka, who felt the passing of Musashi's life, covered his eyes with her hands, "Have a good sleep, and I'll take you to see the sea of ​​flowers."

Musashi felt the temperature of Biganhua's palm, and closed his eyes obediently.His heart stopped beating slowly, and his body gradually became cold.

After Musashi is completely dead, Higanka runs her hands through Musashi's body and pulls out a translucent, young Musashi - which is Musashi's soul.

"Follow me, let's avoid the ghosts. If you don't pass Yan Mo's trial, I have a way to make you reincarnate without drinking Mengpo soup."

In a daze, Musashi followed the Bianhua to Huangquan, and in the faint fragrance of flowers, Musashi recalled the memories of his life.

When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was the magnificent sea of ​​flowers and the smiling Bianhua beside him.

"It's really beautiful." Musashi sighed, not knowing whether he was talking about flowers or people.

"Those who can see this sea of ​​flowers are basically dead people. I really don't understand why you like these flowers."

Musashi looked at the flower of the other side, and it was rare to become literary: "Because there is a kind of beauty that surpasses death, I will remember you and see you in my next life, right?"

"If you wish."

"Of course I would!" Musashi nodded happily.

Bunches of flowers are separated and automatically arranged in two columns.

Bianhua pulled Musashi through the path in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, and came to the bank of Wangchuan River.The petals of the other shore flower dance on the river, forming a red flower bridge, and the end of the flower bridge is the vortex of reincarnation.

Bianhua pointed to the vortex and said to Musashi: "Jump in and you will be reincarnated. I have left a mark on your soul, and I will come to you when the time comes."

Musashi looked at Biganhua reluctantly, and wanted to say something, but was pushed into the whirlpool by Biganhua.

Higanka looked at Musashi who disappeared, feeling very puzzled.She still doesn't know why she did such a crazy thing.

The underworld has its rules, and Bi Anhua's behavior at this time is absolutely not allowed, so she will definitely be punished.

"Bi An Hua, you are so courageous."

Sure enough, when Bi'anhua turned her head, she saw the judge's cold face.
