[Comprehensive] Salted Fish Onmyoji

shikigami.

With the strengthening of Jiang Xue's strength, this place has become more beautiful and spacious.The scenery of four seasons can be seen here. Red Leaf and Li Yujing once wished that Jiang Xue would be stronger under the maple tree in the courtyard where they lived, so that they could see a broader and more magnificent scenery.The visiting leader looked indifferently at the two enthusiastic girls, expressing that he was very satisfied with his life and was not interested in it.

The demon fox came late, and when he arrived, he saw groups of houses and courtyards. He didn't know what it was like at first, but he heard Yingcao and the others mention it.At that time, there were not so many courtyards here, only a small courtyard, and everyone lived together.However, because there are few people, it is not crowded and sad, but very lively.

If you want Yaohu to say that it was not bad at first, there are many more opportunities to get along with beautiful girls.

For example, now, he can stay with the girls in the house instead of sticking to this hard rock.

He was lying lazily on a rock in the garden, and the fallen cherry blossom petals stayed in the corners of his eyes.Xia Huoniao's voice was low and slow, and the angry Yingcao couldn't help but turn up the volume.

"You... how could you say that?!"

Hmm... Maybe it's better not to go in.

He turned down from the rock, so that the rock blocked his figure.From here, you can vaguely see the situation in the house. The girl with a delicate appearance raised the dandelion high, her arms shook again and again, but she was still unable to drop it.

She put down her hand trembling all over, grabbed the dandelion and walked away without looking back.The carp spirit in the room chased after him for two steps, and then looked at Xia Huoniao who was full of regret, not knowing which way to go.

Yaohu felt that this was a bad place, and it would be better to stay here and look at the other cute girls, so he left in a hurry, planning to go to Hongye to kill time.

"Carp spirit." Butterfly spirit sat in front of Xiahuo Bird, raised her head to look at the bewildered carp spirit, "Go and see Yingcao, she is not feeling well, can you coax her more?"

"Ah... En!" The carp spirit nodded, found the direction again, and went briskly, ready to let Yingcao regain her spirits.After walking a long distance, she could still feel the undissipated water vapor in the air. The butterfly spirit opened all the doors and windows of the house to let the water vapor dissipate as soon as possible.

"You were injured." She said to Xia Huoniao, "be more careful in the future, you can't catch cold with this kind of injury, don't forget to keep warm, don't let this room get too humid."

Then he said to the silent Gu Long: "Add a cloak to her to protect her from the wind. You must remember these clearly so that you can take good care of her in the future."

Butterfly Jing's voice is gentle, but not as gentle as before.

There was no shortage of pens and paper in the room, so she took one and began to write the prescription. The handwriting was neat and clear, and it also included the characteristics of the medicinal materials. "The products here are much richer than before. There is a medicine field in your courtyard. Just pick and cook according to the above."

Gu Longhuo accepted the prescription, and the familiar environment seemed to bring him back to the beginning, and he blurted out: "Isn't it possible to use prayer..."

Halfway through the talk, I also reflected on the current situation, so I stopped talking.

Butterfly kept writing, sitting upright, with a steady wrist, "They are all healing methods, and they can heal injuries."

Xia Huoniao smiled wryly, his brows were lowered, and the bitterness in his eyes was as overflowing as tears, which seemed to be about to fall, "At that time... I really..."

"Ancient cage fire." Butterfly Spirit picked up the written prescription and handed it to the person beside him, "Go and pick it, so I can see if you made any mistakes."

Gu Longhuo was also afraid that a mistake in the picking process would make Xia Huoniao's injury worse, so he went without the slightest hesitation, and he left very neatly.

After he walked away, the Butterfly Spirit said slowly: "I will always remember the dream you had at that time."

Jiang Xue can freely control the shikigami and any items in the shikigami record, but she cannot enter by herself.There are many happy or sad things in the shikigami records, some of which they will tell her to know, some of which they will not.

For example, the trivial daily life of Hongye who is mischievous and teases Shikigami every day, such as the boring daily practice of Carp Essence, such as the exclamation of the headless when dreaming back at midnight sometimes and the non-stop soothing songs of the taunting demon luthier, such as Tang Zhisan Nightmare of demons.

None of them had ever told Jiang Xue about it, or it was unnecessary, or they didn't want to make her worry.

Every time a new style god is summoned, the butterfly spirit is always the busiest.

The monsters who just came under the hands of Onmyoji were confused and angry, and perhaps had some unknown fears.Anxiety, apprehension, unknown future, and nightmares that cannot be escaped from the past.

There are very few people who are neither surprised nor afraid.

On those nights full of nightmares, the Butterfly Spirit could not sleep peacefully.She shuttled back and forth in the dreamland, trying her best to comfort her new companion.

Xia Huoniao's dreams are always full of flames, and the robbers rush into the villagers' homes one by one, burning, killing and looting.The corpses fell on the cold ground, and were finally burned to ashes by the flames.The Butterfly Spirit knew that it didn't feel good, because she, a bystander, couldn't get rid of the dullness in her chest.

"I still remember when I went to rescue people, and the one I rescued was a young girl." Butterfly Spirit fell into the memory of that time, "The sea of ​​fire that day had a great impact on everyone, I still remember that I rescued How she felt when she was young, I also remember the girl who couldn't be saved in Lord Jiang Xue's arms."

Xia Huoniao's tears had already fallen, she was made of resentment, and all the children who died that night were her children.It was Jiang Xue who helped her become a monster, and it was Jiang Xue who brought her back to before everything happened.She had sworn to protect her, but she didn't know why it had come to this point.

"I don't know that girl, but... I'm really sad, I, Yingcao, and Lord Jiang Xue, and Lord Yimulian should be the same." Butterfly Jing closed her eyes, "You should be more sad, I can't feel it, but it must be very painful. At that time, I must be willing to give everything for them to survive, right?"

Butterfly Jing remembered a sentence she read in a book, "There is nothing important except life and death."

"I... am alive... I can have all possibilities, whether it is repayment or whatever..." Xia Huoniao broke down in tears, "but once I die... there is really no possibility."

The villagers have survived, but she still remembers the cold corpses of those children.Even the way the flames danced after the fire started, and the smell of burning in the air.

She will never forget it in her life.

Butterfly Exhale breathed out, unable to tell whether it was a breath or a sigh, "So after hearing Master Jiang Xue's words, you did that."

The appearance of the matter was completely clear in Xia Huoniao's report to them. He didn't understand the sentence that Gu Cage Huo didn't understand, but he didn't understand it after listening to the report again, but the Butterfly Spirit understood the meaning.

"There are very few people who can protect you." Butterfly Jing repeated softly, "Master Jiang Xue has always understood that death is irreversible. After the death of that lord..."

She looked sad and closed her eyes. "She cannot bear the pain of the death of a loved one again."

But she can't protect everyone, what should I do?

Butterfly Jing remembered that when she was very young, her arms were full of flowers of various colors. Her sister wanted to make nectar for her, but she could only choose one kind of flower.How to do it?

There is only one that can be chosen, and the rest can only be put down and waited until the next time.But until the next time, the original flowers have already withered.

"I'm... a little scared..." Xia Huoniao said in a hoarse voice, "It's not that Axue doesn't understand the impact of Gulonghuo's behavior, but... I don't want to treat such a shikigami gently anymore..."

Butterfly Spirit poured her a glass of water.

The tip of Gulonghuo's knife was never aimed at Xiahuo Bird.He stabbed Jiang Xue to death with a knife, but if he was facing Xia Huoniao at that time, would he be able to kill him?

Nobody knows, can't be sure.But what is certain is that if Jiang Xue didn't forgive...no, she wouldn't have rescued Gu Cage Huo who had defected from her in the first place, then she would definitely not have been stabbed.

Few people can be protected, so only protect the people on the top of your heart, only protect yourself.Those who do not have deep feelings will not be rescued, let alone forgive.

——Even if it is affected by illness, it will never be forgiven, so never do such a thing, never expect her to save anyone again, and cut off this matter from the root.

"What happened to Arakawa was unintentional." Xiahuo Niao held the cup of tea, but did not use it to moisten his hoarse throat, "Such harm...is not inevitable!"

Butterfly Jing said: "The matter of the lord of Arakawa is not the result of the calculation, Master Jiang Xue will not always be hurt like this. So there is no need to give up other people for such things, and there is no need to kill Gu Cage Huo, because as long as Gu Cage Huo lives Any punishment is acceptable, but death...is irreversible."

Xia Huoniao's tears kept falling.

"Irreversible..." Butterfly Spirit's voice was as soft as a dream, "I hope every child will be well, and I hope they will not go to the irreversible point like that night. So what can be redeemed, we have to be irretrievable. Take a few steps back. Only in this way can everyone be well, right?"

"It's not that you don't know that Mrs. Jiang Xue won't be in pain. You just think that she can still be compensated. Because she is still alive, there is always a way to make up for her. But you may have forgotten the degree of pain."

"Lord Jiang Xue doesn't cry..." It's also possible that she didn't cry in front of them, "It's not that it doesn't hurt much."

Butterfly Jing still remembers that under the courtyard wall of Natsume's house, Jiang Xue hardly slept, and even if she slept, she couldn't sleep well.She used calming pollen, and let Jiang Xue pillow on her lap to make up for a peaceful sleep.

When the frown was relaxed, her sleeping face was soft and messy.

Butterfly Jing calmed down because of the sudden change, and watched her quietly, healed her, and lulled her to sleep.Even if her talent in the battle is limited, at least it can comfort her in this way.

"You regard Gu Longhuo and Lord Jiang Xue as your children, so you don't want them to be hurt. We all believe that if someone hurts them, you can risk your life to stop them. But..."

"Love can also become a knife. Love is gentle and cruel at the same time. In your eyes, Gu Longhuo and Lord Jiang Xue may be your children, but... what is Gu Longhuo?"

Butterfly Spirit's usual gentleness finally broke through with sharpness at this sentence.

The Butterfly Spirit, who was regarded as a child, questioned him like this, which undoubtedly added a knife to his heart.Xia Huoniao wept and said nothing, Butterfly Jing pressed her soft hand on her chest, "Does it hurt too? This is... the cruelty of love."

She didn't understand before, and there are some things that can only be understood after experiencing them one by one.

"Xiahuobiao's nature is to love children." Butterfly Jing said, "But you are not their real mother, and they have no real blood relationship. Besides... love is limited, and balance can hurt people. Even if it is a biological mother, That can break a child's heart."

Xia Huoniao looked up at her with tears in her eyes, only to realize that the butterfly spirit, who was regarded as a child, had actually grown a lot without knowing it, her greenness and softness had faded, and her once confused gaze had long been as firm as a rock .

But with the love of a mother, she has not grown into a mother who can shelter her children from wind and rain.

Only love is not enough.

The sound of Gu Cage Fire's footsteps came from afar, Butterfly stopped her voice, and Xia Huo Niao wiped away her tears, waiting for him to come in.Butterfly Jing left after inspecting the medicine made by Gu Longhuo, and Xia Huoniao finally stopped her, "Axue...can you let her go on like this?"

The butterfly spirit against the light flicked off the stained cherry blossom petals on the sleeves, with a gentle and lovely smile, "As long as it is her decision."

If you don't have the strength to block all the wind and rain for her, then at least walk with her forever, even if you are about to go to the mountains of swords and seas of fire, hell and hell.
