[Seshomaru Doujin] Shenyue

In the morning, the sun was still shining, but when it was almost noon, the sky suddenly became gloomy, with layers of cloudy clouds on the horizon, the sun was no longer bright, and the wind howled across the entire city.

Yue Lian was walking aimlessly like this, but suddenly something hit her face along with the wind.Yue Lian frowned and took it off, but it was a white paper money with round square holes.

"The sorghum is lili, the seedling of the other millet. Walking and swaying, the center is shaking..."

The indistinct sound of singing was transmitted in the wind, and Yue Lian looked forward, and saw countless paper money flying up and down in the strong wind like butterflies, brushing on the pitch-black roof tiles, stopping on the fiery red peach blossoms, and falling to the ashes. On the floor tiles, in just a moment, there was a layer of snow white, covering the mottled blood on the ground.

Not far ahead, a woman in a white dress hummed a tune and walked slowly towards Yuelian with a bamboo basket in her arms.Every time the woman took a step, she stretched her hand into the bamboo basket, took out a large amount of paper money, and threw it into the air suddenly, and the pieces of paper immediately fell down one after another.With the gloomy sky, it seems that there has been a heavy snowfall.

"Yao?" Yue Lian looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

Yao was only wearing an extremely simple white dress at the moment, no pearls or jade in her black hair, only a plain silk flower in her hair, her two vermilion lips were bloodless, and her face without makeup could only be described as pale.

Yue Lian took a few steps forward and asked, "What are you doing?"

Yao looked at Yue Lian, ignored her, and continued walking forward holding the paper money.The tune in her mouth gradually became clear——

"Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want..."

The singing voice is ethereal and ethereal, like the snow-white pieces of paper flying all over the sky.

"What are you doing?!" Yue Lian stopped in front of Yao.

Yao stared ahead, still ignoring Yue Lian, just took a step, intending to go around her.

"Hey! Talk!" Yue Lian also felt angry and pushed Yao.

Yue Lian's strength was not strong, but Yao staggered a bit, but she couldn't stand firmly, and fell backwards all at once.The bamboo basket rolled aside, the paper money fell out, and the strong wind blew by, like white butterflies vying to fly to the sky.Yao got up quickly, collected the remaining half basket of paper money, and kept it in her arms.

"What the hell are you...doing?" Seeing Yao's pale face, Yue Lian unconsciously softened her tone.

Yao looked at her for a moment, and finally opened and closed her bloodless lips, "Funeral."

Yue Lian was stunned for a moment, and in the next moment, a layer of water color appeared in her eyes, "Peony, she..."

"It's not for her." Yao walked around Yuelian and sprinkled a lot of paper money into the air.

"Then how is she?"

Ke Yao didn't answer Yue Lian's question, but kept waving paper money like snowflakes towards the gloomy sky.The strong wind rolled up the ethereal singing, passing over the roof tiles and eaves, and blowing through the streets——

"...Youyou heaven, who is this?"

Yuelian followed Yao all the way to the southernmost point of Biluo, watching the paper money covered Suzaku Long Street.After that, Yao went north again, passed the White Pagoda in the middle, and it was Xuanwu Long Street.On both sides of the long street, there are always invincible white cherry trees planted, as if the branches are dotted with white clouds.

Yao was still walking, sprinkled paper money and hummed a tune.Paper money is like butterflies, falling cherry blossoms are like snow, white clothes are fluttering in the wind, ink silk is flying up and down, and singing is lingering.

Yue Lian wanted to ask about Peony's condition several times, but was so shocked by this scene that she couldn't speak.The great sadness is hidden in this picture, Yue Lian can't tell what it is, but she is still so sad that she wants to cry.

Suddenly, Yao's steps became unsteady, and she fell onto the white blanket made of Luoying and paper money.

"Hey!" Yue Lian hurried forward, and was about to stretch out her hand to lift Yao up, but she found that Yao's fingertips glowed a little bit.

"...Hey, you..." Yue Lian withdrew her hand, her chest rising and falling, "Didn't Peony give you her power? Why are you still..."

"Peony's power is only enough to heal wounds..." Yao Bing's blue eyes were cold, she said, and she raised her eyebrows again, "What's more..."

"Lord Yao!" Peony's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Yuelian turned her head in disbelief, only to see Mudan in a light pink kimono stumbling towards them.When Peony ran closer, Yue Lian could see clearly that her chest was heaving violently, her cheeks were stained with an abnormal blush, but her lips had lost any color.

"Master Yao..." Peony knelt down and held Yao's hand.Ke Yao's hand has already turned into a little bit of light, and Peony just grabbed it empty, "Why...why...you want to push me away at the last moment?"

Peony has tears in her eyes and her voice is choked with sobs.

"If you don't push you away, you will die. Now it's too late for you to save me." Yao's voice was still calm.I saw her use the other hand that did not turn into fluorescent light to remove the plain silk flower in her hair, and the blue silk like a fan spread on the blanket like snow.

"Actually, Peony is a beauty. It would be better if she was healthy." After looking at Peony for a while, Yao suddenly laughed softly, and inserted the silk flower in Peony's hair, "So you have to dress up to be radiant." , and then... work hard to live..."

At this time, the faint light covered Yao's whole body, and even her eyebrows and eyes were blurred so that she couldn't see clearly.Peony shed tears, "Lord Yao, don't die."

Yao shook her head, and said softly, "Go to the world, don't stay here. Hurry up, before Lord Iyanagi comes back, otherwise..."

Having said this, Yao suddenly stopped.

Yue Lian hurriedly asked, "What else?"

Yao glanced at Yue Lian, and said hesitantly, "It's just my guess, he might do something... In short, get out of here quickly."

Saying that, Yao's whole body turned into dots of fluorescent light, dancing up and down among the falling cherry blossoms.

"Biluo is already a dead city...why..." Yao's voice became lower and lower as the strong wind blew away the fluorescent light, "I really can't be reconciled... I can't be reconciled..."

In the end, it was no longer Yao's words that reached Yue Lian's ears, but the tune she had hummed all the way.

——"Youyou heaven, who is this!"

Biluo City is dead silent, only occasionally the wind blows through the wind chimes falling from the corner of the eaves, and the brisk sound is like the last ripple in the stagnant water.

After Yao's death, Mudan became ill. She had a high fever all day long and had to stay in bed.It was better when I was sober, but when I became confused with the fever, I kept talking nonsense and couldn't leave people for a moment.

Yuelian couldn't find anyone in this huge Biluo City, let alone a doctor.She could only stay by Peony's side and put a wet cloth on her forehead, hoping that she would feel better.

Yue Lian also knew that even though Yao let Mudan go in the end, there was only a little bit of anger left in Mudan's body, just enough to keep her alive.Perhaps, on the day Yao died, she was able to chase her out because of the breath in her heart.Once Yao died, the breath that had been supporting her all the time disappeared, and the whole person became like this.

"Peony... Hold on..." She held Peony's hand.But within a few days, Peony has become emaciated, her face is no longer pale as before, but has a terrible sallow color.

"That woman wants you to live..." Yue Lian tucked the corner of the blanket for the sleeping Peony, and said softly, "So you have to hold on, let's wait for Master Ienaki to come back together!" Yue Lian paused, His eyes glowed with anticipation, "As long as he comes back, he will definitely save you!"

Although Yao's last words are of concern, Yue Lian still chooses to believe in the man she saw when she transformed into a human being.

What's more, is there any more practical problem than Mudan's illness?Could there be a worse situation than now?

Yue Lian guarded Peony and waited for three months in the empty city.Seeing Mudan's sallow complexion and thinner and thinner body, she was really afraid that Mudan's last bit of anger would be exhausted by this illness.

Finally, the door she closed tightly because she was worried that Peony would get cold was pushed open one day, and the bright sky outside broke in. A figure in a moon-white coat stood at the door, forming a silhouette against the light.

"Lord Ienaki!" Tsukiren exclaimed in surprise.

Ienaki's white outer shirt was unstained, her jet-black hair was tied up meticulously, except for the slight paleness of her face, it was as if she had never left Biluo.

He looked at Yue Lian, then at the sleeping Mudan, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, but he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Where's Yao?"

"She went to Suzaku Long Street to stop the spirit hunting, and then..." Yue Lian said, unable to continue.

Ienaki closed his eyes slightly, his expression became cloudy, "Did she leave with a smile?"

When Yao left, her brows and eyes were already blurred by the fluorescent light all over her body. Yue Lian didn't know if she was smiling, but thinking about the last words she left, Yue Lian felt that she couldn't be smiling at all.

Yuelian shook her head at Ienaki, but after thinking about it, she felt that this fact could not be changed no matter what, it would be better to let the living feel at ease, so she nodded hastily.

Ienaki stepped into the main hall and smiled wryly for a moment, "You don't need to comfort me. She was a little girl who was afraid of death back then, and she hasn't changed much now." Iyanaki said, his eyes fell into deep nostalgia, "She I always ask me why the gods have this catastrophe, and she always says that she is not reconciled, and it is probably difficult for her to leave with peace of mind..."

Yuelian was silent, but she never thought of Iyanagi holding her hand.Iyanagi's sober voice came to Yuelian's ear, "Let's go, do me a favor. After killing those people in the lower realm, my strength is not enough. I wanted to find Yao..." Iyanagi sighed "Now, it's only you."

"But..." Yue Lian glanced at the bed, "Peony, she..."

Ienaki's eyes sank, "I will try my best to help Mudan when this matter is finished."

Hearing this, Yuelian tucked up the quilt for Mudan again, and then followed Iyanagi out the door.

When the backs of the two were gradually going away outside the door, Mudan's eyelids trembled and opened suddenly!

Peony looked around with some doubts, the familiar furnishings around her made her understand where she was, and the chaotic memories of her illness came one after another.

But at this moment, she didn't feel the weakness after a serious illness. On the contrary, she had never felt so full of energy, and the things she saw were as clear as if they had been washed with water.

Peony got up, and the square scarf on her forehead was falling into the basin beside the bed, splashing water.Mudan leaned over suspiciously, but saw that the face reflected in the circle of ripples had the grayness of a dead person, only the eyes were still a little bit bright.

Mudan was stunned, and after a long time, she said softly: "It turns out to be the return of the light." While talking, Mudan actually laughed, "Master Yao, I will see you soon."

"No..." As if thinking of something, Mudan's expression darkened, "The death of a god is the annihilation of body and spirit, even death... I can't see you anymore..."

The water in the basin gradually calmed down, Peony stared at her own image, then suddenly reached out and took off the silk flower that Yao had inserted in her hair.

"If you can't do anything, at least you should do what you said, you have to be well-groomed..." Mudan walked towards the dressing table, pulling away the dowry with her skinny fingers.

"Lord Iyanagi..." Yue Lian was standing beside the white pagoda at the moment, looking at Iyanagi, hesitating to speak.

Ienaki was clinging to the giant wolf hair, drawing something around the White Tower with his own blood.

The vermilion of the blood stung Yue Lian's eyes, and she couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

Ienaki didn't raise his head, but his writing was flowing like flowing water, and a complicated formation gradually took shape.

Peony looked at the bronze mirror with satisfaction. With the help of powder, the sallowness was covered up, and even a ruddy complexion was faked.She still put Yao's silk flowers in her hair.

Looking at the figure reflected in the bronze mirror again, Peony got up, opened the wardrobe, hesitated for a moment, and put her hand on a pure white kimono.

After changing clothes, Mudan was all pure white, her temples were cut like knives, and her lips were like fat, she still vaguely resembled Yao's funeral appearance.

Suddenly, some kind of thick power swept away from afar, and the moment Peony felt the power, her face turned pale, no amount of makeup could cover it up.

"It's Ienaki-sama! He wants to..."

Saying that, Peony quickly lifted her skirt and ran out the door!

There are constantly red clouds gathering above the White Pagoda, there is a muffled sound of thunder among them, and the howling wind blows through the streets and alleys.

Yue Lian stood in the very center of the formation, although Iyanagi was beside her, but seeing such a scene, she still felt uneasy.

She felt that the power in her body was slowly draining, and the scene of Suzaku Long Street flashed in her mind, but Ienaki seemed to be able to sense her thoughts, and grabbed her wrist, not letting her have any thoughts of retreating!Tsukiren looked beside her, but Iyanagi's face was as pale as paper at the moment, and beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead—it was no easier than her.

"What are we doing?" Yue Lian asked.

But Ienaki didn't give her any answer, but the hand that clasped her wrist became tighter and tighter.

The clouds were dense, the thunder was loud, and the wind roared around her. Yue Lian's anxiety gradually increased, but she unexpectedly saw a figure running towards them.

The figure was completely white, with black hair flying in the wind.

Yue Lian was stunned for a moment, "Yao?" However, she soon understood who it was, and a trace of joy dyed her brows, but Iyanagi still clasped her wrist tightly, and she could only stand where she was, surprised. Dearly said: "Peony, are you alright?"

But Mudan didn't answer, and two white drills flew out of her sleeves!One of them went straight to Yue Lian's chest!

Iyanagi quickly let go of his hand, protecting Yuelian behind his back, a golden light flashed in midair, and the white strip split in response.

But Peony's other white line unexpectedly circled behind Iyenaki at this time, rolled up Yuelian, and brought her behind him!

As soon as Yue Lian left the formation, the thunder suddenly became quieter, and the strong wind seemed to have signs of subsiding.

Ienaki glanced at Peony, but he just scratched his wrist, all the blood flowed out, and the formation on the ground suddenly emitted a strange red light.In the next moment, the complex pattern painted with blood rose into the air, and the pattern spread as it rose, and soon, the whole city was shrouded in a coquettish red light!

After a while, the patterns gradually faded away, the thunder subsided, and the clouds dispersed, as if all this had never happened.

But Peony knows that these exist—this is a huge enchantment covering the entire city.

"Still...is it too late?" Mudan took Bai Lian away and looked at the sky absent-mindedly.

At this moment, Bi Luo is locked by such an enchantment, and everyone inside has no chance to descend.

Even if the gods are prevented from doing evil, but...

On the other side, Ienaki looked at Peony with a gloomy expression, but from the first time he saw Peony when he came back, he knew that she was dying, so he didn't plan to do anything.The huge consumption of strength almost made it difficult for him to stand still, but he still stood there and said coldly, "Are you satisfied now? Peony."

"Nothing can stop..." Peony hooked the corners of her lips mockingly, "What is there to be satisfied with?"

"Because of your obstruction, the enchantment has flaws!" Iyanagi said sternly, "I originally wanted to completely seal Biluo, but now this enchantment can only hinder the demon! And the rest, as long as they have enough strength, can Can go in and out of here!"

"But how many people still have 'enough power'?" Peony did not back down, "Do I have it? Does Yue Lian have it? Even you now—don't have it!"

"So..." Yuelian finally understood all this, and looked at Ienaki with a hint of disbelief, "You want to trap us all here?"

"Only in this way can the demons not come here again. The most important thing is to prevent the gods from going down to do evil again." When he said these words, Iyanagi's expression didn't change a bit, as if everything should be taken for granted. "This is the way of God."

"That's why you didn't tell me..." Yuelian stared at Ienaki bitterly, "You should at least tell me!"

"As I said, I originally wanted to find Yao, but now it's only you." Ienaki looked at Yuelian calmly, "If you know the truth, you will inevitably retreat. For the belief that the gods should stick to, this is the only way to do it. "

"You—" Yue Lian stared blankly at the person in the moon-white coat in front of her, feeling very strange.

This person in front of her is really the same person as the person who saved her from Yao on the day she transformed into form...?

"So—what is the so-called belief in the gods?" Mudan suddenly said, her eyes were as bright as a sword, she knew that she was going to die, so she no longer had any scruples in her words, "Do you want to become the master of everything? ?So you can decide everything on your own? If so, then who is in charge of your life and death! Above the Nine Heavens, or the Nine Heavens! Do you really think this is the end of the sky?"

"Master Yao said that you are a rare and good god. I also thought so before." Mudan pointed at Iyanagi, the wind suddenly blew, and her black hair flaunted wantonly. , for injustice!"

Iyanagi was silent for a moment, and only said, "Didn't Yao also kill the same people for the spiritual things?"

"Yeah..." Mudan sighed, tears welling up in her eyelashes, "All injustice is due to benevolence and righteousness. So you can say 'be punished' with peace of mind; so you can lie to Yue Lian and still feel it is justified. It should be; so you can plant this enchantment without mercy...

"What exactly is the belief of gods? I am not a god, I don't understand. But I have not seen many people in the world, I have never talked to them, I have not received their favor, and I have never helped them. As far as strangers are concerned, it is just a few words on paper, a few faces in the crowd. So, why should I sacrifice for these strangers? And why should I sacrifice for them! If I were Master Yao, if I could Choose, I will never stay in this cold city!

"But did you let us choose? Before you went down to the realm, you told Master Yao to 'stay here'. Although what Master Yao did afterward was her own choice, you never asked her if she wanted to live. No, you I always knew that she wanted to live, but the only choices you gave her were 'wait for death' and 'take the initiative to die'! You never thought about her! In vain for her to you... Forget it, it's all in the past. Now you You lied to another person who trusted you, and forced her to stay in Biluo..."

As Mudan said, she glanced at Yue Lian with compassion, "Yue Lian is still young, her mind has not settled down, and she doesn't know what she wants at all. Even if she forgives you and is willing to stay in Biluo, she will probably do so in the future. Regret. Don't you understand in your heart? How could you do this!"

"If there is anything else you want to scold, let's scold it together. It's rare to hear you say so much." Ienaki was not sullen, and his expression was unimaginably calm.

But Peony exhausted her last bit of anger. She glared at Iyanagi, the blood that kept spitting out from her mouth stained the pure white kimono red, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Peony!" Yue Lian yelled anxiously, and stepped forward to hold Peony's hand, but at this moment, Peony's whole body gradually turned into flying ash!At the last moment, Yue Lian saw Peony looking at the sky, not knowing what she saw, her expression changed from initial anger to calm and contented.

The strong wind blew suddenly, and the plain white silk flower in the peony's hair flew into the sky.

"Peony..." Yue Lian looked at the silk flower that was getting further and further away, tears rolling down one by one.

Iyanagi looked at Yuelian for a moment, and then suddenly said, "The number of people dying here will only increase, and you will be the only one who survived. Put away your tears, sorrow is useless."

Hearing this, Yue Lian wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, but her voice was still full of tears, "You are not what Mudan said to be inhumane, nor are you benevolent and righteous, you are just ruthless and ungrateful!"

Ienaki laughed softly, "It doesn't matter how you look at it, I have done what I want to do, and I have kept what I want to keep. That's enough." After speaking, he slapped Yue Lian's back back.

Yue Lian could only feel the scorching power continuously transitioning into her body, flowing through her limbs along the blood vessels.The power was so hot that she almost thought she was going to burn, and there was no way to resist.

After that power was completely integrated into her body and the heat was no longer there, Yue Lian turned her head, but there was nothing behind her.

"Iyanagi..." Yuelian paused, then said softly, "My lord?"

No one answered, only the whimpering of the wind, blowing the corner of Yue Lian's clothes.

"What is this?" Yue Lian's tears flowed disobediently, and she shouted: "What is this!"

"Lord Iyanagi!" Yue Lian shouted loudly, frantically searching around Bi Luo City.

Her physical strength has never been so abundant, she can jump tens of feet in one leap, but she has been searched all over Biluo, and she has never seen that moon-white dress again.

Years later.

"Lord Iyanagi, now...all the gods left in Biluo are dead..." Yue Lian looked at the front blankly, "It's really as you said, only me."

At this moment, she is standing on the top of the White Tower.The wind is exceptionally strong here, ink silk is flowing in the air, and the big snow-white sleeves are dancing wildly.

Yue Lian looked up, but only saw the vast sky, so blue that there was no cloud.

But when she looked down, the scenery under the blue sky was always covered by endless white clouds.

"Above the Nine Heavens, or the Nine Heavens..." Yue Lian murmured, "I don't know what it's like under the Nine Heavens?"

Volume [-]: Returning from Thousands of Miles Was Not Yesterday
