[Seshomaru Doujin] Shenyue

Now, the needle pine is still wearing the proud green clothes.The wind is cold and the branches and leaves are fierce.

Shenyue walked through this pine forest, with white shadows dancing gracefully.

"They said they were looking for Naluo..." Shenyue murmured to herself rather distressed, "But where is Naluo..."

In the middle of speaking, Shenyue suddenly stopped, and the figures of several warriors not far in front burst into her eyes.

Those dozen or so warriors had dilapidated armor, unkempt faces, and worn-out knives around their waists, as if they were defeated soldiers.At this moment, these people are sitting around the fire.

Shenyue stopped in her tracks, looked at Nadeko at her waist, and finally turned around silently, intending to go around them.

"Why did the beauties over there see us and leave?" One of the warriors noticed Shenyue and whistled frivolously.

The face of Oda whom she had met in Shenduan Mountain suddenly flashed into Shenyue's mind, and her plain hand quietly held Nadeshiko.

Just at this moment, these warriors had rushed to Shenyue's body.

"Stand back." The voice was cold, like a big monster.

"Tsk tsk..." One of them even lifted Shenyue's chin with his hand, with a contemptuous expression, "I thought it was a princess from some country!"

However, the next moment, the beauty in white in front of him disappeared out of thin air.Then, I felt the coolness on my neck and wiped it with my hands, but saw a bright red.

However, fortunately, it was only a shallow knife wound and did not hurt the throat.

The man covered his bleeding neck with his hands in fear, only to find that his companions were doing the same thing as him.The wounds are all the same!

——for a moment...

Turning around tremblingly, he looked at the woman in white who was already surrounded by them.However, the woman just held the knife and looked at them coldly, with blood dripping gradually from the blade.

"Go back."

The woman in white spoke again, her voice as cold as ice.

This time, no one dared to hesitate, they all covered the wounds on their necks, and ran away from here.

Seeing the backs of the warriors in a panic, Shenyue just silently took out a small piece of cloth from her bosom, and slowly wiped the blood on the knife.

"Nadeko..." Shenyue stared at the blade, and said slowly, "You should be satisfied if I do this..."

However, before the words were finished, the blade suddenly became hot!

Shenyue didn't notice for a while, and let go of the pain.But the long knife didn't land on the ground. On the contrary, it was half-floating in the air, and the blade turned slowly, finally pointing in one direction!

"Do you... want me to go in that direction?" Shenyue asked hesitantly.

But the long knife did not respond, but fell to the ground like an ordinary sword.

Shenyue picked up Nadeshiko, wiped the dust off it, and decided to go in the direction pointed by the blade!

For the next few days, Shenyue kept moving forward, but Nadeko didn't respond, only cold and sharp.

Until Shenyue walked into a dead wood forest, Fuzi suddenly felt warm, not hot, but warm!

Shenyue looked suspiciously at the leafless forest all around, the sun was mottled, shining from the slanting branches, bringing some warmth to the whole forest.

The figure in white walked forward while looking around, until he stopped suddenly in front of a few broken logs.

The few broken logs were covered with moss at the moment, but the cuts were neat, as if they were cut off by some huge force!

--Yes……

Shenyue looked at these broken trees, with nostalgia on her brows.

——This is the cherry grove near Nadeko Village...

——These trees were cut down by Kagura's wind blade back then.

The wind is whimpering on the branches, the white clothes are fluttering, and the black hair is flying.

Shenyue slowly pulled out Nadeshiko from her waist, the expression between her eyebrows kept changing.

This is the place where she first met the figure in white, although... At that time, they were enemies.She didn't expect the world to be so ironic, just like the original enemy turned into someone more important than herself in the end.

"This is also the place where we used to meet," the black-haired woman frowned, and sighed softly at the long knife in her hand, "I didn't expect that after so many things, we came back together again."

——I didn't expect...it's been so long...

At the beginning of everything, the trees were full of red tassels and fluttered like snow; now, the leaves have all fallen, and a few broken trees have been covered with moss, and they will be crushed into dust by the giant hands of time soon.

However, Nadeko felt hot again, as if urging something.

"Nadeko, do you want to..." Shenyue guessed, "Go back to the shrine and have a look?"

Hearing this, the sharp long knife withdrew the scalding temperature, but left the tender warmth, as if expressing approval.

Shenyue once again looked at the dead branches and the dancing sunlight on them, then walked towards the direction in memory.

Nadeko's village has been destroyed by Naraku, the fields are barren and overgrown with weeds, and the houses are still in good condition, but they are all empty and there is no one there.Unfortunately, the sun was so dazzling, as if nothing had happened.

Shenyue walked through the barren fields in silence, and walked into the empty village, the warmth of the long knife in her hand gradually subsided.

The more you go in the direction of the shrine, the more bones will fall on the ground. The dead bodies are different, but they all face the shrine.Now these bones have been turned into skeletons, but they can still vaguely see the tragic situation at the beginning.

"Nadeko... shall we go forward?" Seeing the vermilion painted gate of the shrine, Shenyue hesitated.

However, the long knife became hot the moment Shenyue made a sound, like a sharp urging!

Somewhat tremblingly, he pushed open the gate of the shrine, and the first thing that hit his face was the dust all over the sky.

Shenyue quickly covered her eyes with her sleeve, and when the dust cleared, she noticed that the unattended shrine was covered with dust, and there were dense cobwebs in the corners.

Passing through the courtyard of the shrine, there are still dark spots on the sliding door of the inner room, like the original bloodstains.

Shenyue gritted her teeth and opened the sliding door.

In the empty room, Bidi was still lying on the table, and there was a bowl of half-drunk brown concoction next to it.It's just that Bidi is covered with dust, and the brown concoction is now congealed into a disgusting thing that can't see its original appearance.

The furnishings in the house are still exactly the same as when Nadeko left in a hurry, and now they are indeed waiting for their masters.It's just...their owners are long gone.

It seems that everything has changed, and it seems that nothing has changed, only time flows in it.

Nadeko has been hot since entering the room, and now she even took off Shenyue's hand and is flying in the air.

It wasn't until the blade pointed at a small rattan cabinet that the long knife suddenly fell to the ground as if it had lost its strength!

Shenyue picked up Nadeshiko and wiped the dust carefully.With some doubts, he opened the dusty cabinet.

The small cabinet was empty, except for... a long arrow!

The cabinet protected the arrows from the dust. At this moment, the tips of the arrows were still brand new, with a sharp cold light circulating.

Shenyue took out the arrow, but suddenly remembered that Nadeko never used arrows!

Nadeko is not fake with a bow, but her spiritual power is enough to condense into an arrow.

—she never uses arrows!

Shenyue frowned suspiciously, and asked the long knife in her heart a question, "What is this arrow used for?"

However, the long knife can't speak, it can only flow warmth, like comfort, like encouragement.

Shenyue was silent for a while, and finally put the arrow and the long knife back into her waist.

In the end, she spent three days at the shrine.

Two days ago, Shenyue buried all the villagers' corpses with her own hands.

It was not easy, and she worked day and night for two days.

On the last day, she received the water and cleaned the shrine.All the blood was washed away, as if the owner had really just left.

Shenyue also washed off the dust on the flute that Nadeko likes to play.

She tried to put it on her lips, and her breath flowed, but she only played an unpleasant tone.

After pondering for a while, she dug a small hole next to the cherry tree in the backyard of the shrine, and put the flute in it.

On the last night, the moonlight was bright, just like the night when Nadeko taught her.

She sat on the withered grass in the courtyard for a long time, the moonlight shone on her face as fine as white porcelain, but her ever-changing expression could not be seen.

It wasn't until dawn that she set off again.
