Different from the chaos and turmoil in the capital of Ping'an, Seimei's place at the moment seems to be another world. It is very close to the entrance of the human world and the underworld, but because of his arrival, the monsters that used to wander around the entrance have long disappeared. Traces, here is about half a day's journey away from the capital of Ping'an, but the reason why he came here was due to his unprecedented contradictory mood during this period of time.

After seeing Hongyuan's evil deeds that day, Seimei began to dream all night.

In the dream, he saw some not-so-good memories of the past, those things that were forcibly erased by him, hidden in his heart, and the large areas of blood, the blurry faces and corpses that he saw that day. The magnified frightened expression on the monster kid's face...

Could the evil of human beings reach such a level?

So what is the reason for always protecting the human beings...

The belief that he had always insisted on in the past was suddenly shaken. In fact, Seimei had considered such issues in the past, but he had never delved into it. In his opinion, protecting the peace of the world and protecting people's lives has become the reason for his existence. , This is his destiny, a task that he will never give up in his life.

There is such a strong sense of mission firmly imprisoning him, so in the past, he has not wavered in everything he has done.

However, since then, he has repeatedly asked himself such questions, and at a certain moment, he suddenly felt a little tired.

There was even an idea from the bottom of my heart that I had never had before.

Why should I... why should I protect these stupid humans?

They are as small as mayflies, without my protection, they would not be what they are today.

It is also because of my actions that greater "evil" has been caused.

Then, it's better to give up these humans...

There was another voice in my heart, echoing as if bewitching.

……Do not.

He was suddenly shocked by such a thought.

And from that moment on, that voice that was similar to him but different would often remind him when he was meditating, as if there was another person living in his body.

When he discovered this, after suffering and struggling, he already made his own decision.

The inner battle between the two personalities has become more and more intense. He didn't want to violate his original intention, but on this day, he chose to abandon the black part of his body.

Because he didn't want other people, or even his shikigami, to know about it, he chose to conceal it and set up a barrier at the door so that they couldn't come out to find him.

At this time, a drop of rain suddenly fell on Qingming's face.

He looked up at the dark clouds rolling in the sky, and looked in the direction of Heianjing in the distance.

It's been a while since I left, and I don't know what's going on in the city now.

The barrier protecting Heian-kyo is still there, so it should be fine.

He naturally didn't know that when he left, there were already powerful big monsters who went to destroy the enchantment he set up, and even the person with ulterior motives released a large number of monsters to attack the capital of Ping'an.

Heianjing is in chaos now, it can be called purgatory on earth.

There was always some uneasiness in his heart, which made him unable to calm down.

Seimei only felt that there was no need to delay, he needed to return to Heianjing as soon as possible.

It is not that simple to completely withdraw from the black self in the body.

It still takes some time.

Seimei sighed.

And all of this was seen by the eight hundred bhikkhuni hiding behind the tree.

Her purpose is simple, when Seimei separates the evil part of her body, she takes advantage of his weakest state to kill him.

In fact, she had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time.

Seimei's change was also brought about by her.

Although he once saved himself, her hatred has never been eliminated, and it has become more and more intense over the years.

That's right, the only way to destroy this person is to...

Things developed as she expected, and then she replaced him with another Seimei. The biggest obstacle was eliminated, and there was another powerful partner who hated the world. big help.

Heianjing has become a hell on earth, but this is not her ultimate goal.

The ultimate goal is that adult...

No, it is to resurrect that lord, with the help of his legendary power.

Then, turn the whole world into what you dreamed of.

She wants revenge on everyone.

This is... all these years, my wish.

A smile appeared on the calm face of the eight hundred bhikkuni.

She looked at Qingming, watching his every move, holding a staff tightly in her cuff.

Sunny didn't notice.

Of the two selves in the body, the good part has the upper hand, so it is the kind and gentle Seimei-sama who controls the whole body, while the evil part cannot be independent at all.

But when the consciousness is intense, the thoughts of the evil part will pop up from time to time, affecting his actions.

Even if it was cruel, it had to be done.

And just when he pulled out the evil part of his body and was just about to take the last step, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Seimei-sama!"

Familiar voice.

... Red leaves?

Qingming looked behind her, and there was indeed a gorgeous girl in sight, her face was as bright as a peach and plum, and her whole body was as warm as a maple leaf, making it impossible to ignore her existence.

She saw Qingming, and then a bright smile appeared on her face, as if, being able to find him was already the happiest thing in the world.

The girl in red happily ran towards her beloved Seimei-sama.

Eight hundred bhikkuni was also stunned.

She did not expect that there would be such a variable.

However, it was too late.

Because she has already raised the staff in her hand and cast "Starlight", which is a powerful spell. The bright natural starlight condenses into flying birds, which inevitably fly towards the red leaves.

Then, only a snort was heard.

Hongye's movements stopped.

And at this moment, a small patch of red appeared on her chest, and then slowly expanded.

The blood dripped on the ground, and together with the raindrops that started to fall at an unknown time, they merged into a puddle.

Seimei's pupils dilated instantly, and a crack appeared in his usually calm and peaceful expression.

Hongye still had a smile on her face, but her body fell down uncontrollably, but this time, she didn't fall to the ground alone, but was embraced by her beloved Seimei-sama.

Eight hundred bhikuni originally wanted to leave, but she exposed her existence because of such a mistake, Seimei did not separate the other self in her body as she thought, but the current situation became something she could not control.

But for some reason, she looked at Qingming and Hongye in the rain, but didn't take that crucial step.

Seimei had already discovered the existence of the eight hundred bhikkhuni, but at this moment he didn't look at her more, but summoned the shikigami who were trapped in the mansion.

The Yaodao Ji and the boys and girls finally saw Qingming, and when they hurried forward, they saw the seriously injured Hongye, and at this moment, they sensed another strange aura.

Yaodao Ji quickly understood what happened. She looked indifferently at the eight hundred bhikkhuni who was hiding aside, and quickly walked to her side, the huge handle of the knife in her hand was shining with cold light.

Eight Hundred Bhikkuni was very calm, not even a trace of fear.

She smiled quietly, as if it had nothing to do with her.

No one knows what she is thinking at the moment.

Boys and girls looked at Hongye with blood all over her body in a daze: "Master Qingming, what happened, why did you suddenly disappear before, how did Miss Hongye become like this!..."

But Qingming at this time did not answer them as gently and kindly as in the past.

Hongye looked at Qingming obsessively, and there was always a smile on her lips: "Master Qingming, I finally...found you, I am so happy."

Qingming's expression was very gentle, and his tone was like the first time he met her: "I know."

Her tone was a little joyful, but also a little sad: "I... originally wanted to say goodbye to Lord Qingming, but I didn't expect that it would really be the last farewell..."

When Qingming heard these words, he couldn't help feeling bitter. Although he didn't have any love for Hongye, he had a different kind of liking for this girl who really loved him.

Her brilliance, vitality, and vitality like a maple leaf are unforgettable.

Maybe her liking is unacceptable to him, but she is not without a place in his heart.

"Master Qingming, I'm so tired..."

After a while, Hongye looked at him and said softly.

"If you're tired, just... sleep for a while."

Qingming reached out and touched her head, and pinned her messy hair behind her ears, revealing her snow-white face, but at this time her eyes were not as clear and bright as usual.

His heart gradually sank.

Hongye smiled: "Master Qingming, I... have one more thing I want you to help convey..."

Qingming looked at her: "Tell me, no matter who it is, I will tell him."

Hongye's smile was a little bit bitter: "It's a very stupid guy named Shuten-douji... a strange name, isn't it... I... made an appointment with him... to leave Heianjing, but I didn't make the appointment on time, please help I told him I'm sorry..."

As she spoke, her eyes gradually closed, and her hands slowly and feebly dropped beside her.

It's just that the moment Hongye closed her eyes, the face of that handsome big red-haired monster seemed to appear in front of her eyes.

"Red leaves!"

This is not her hallucination, but Shuten-douji really found her, but it was too late.

He and Ibaraki Doji finally saw her, but this scene was an unbearable blow to him who was full of joy.

Shuten-douji did not expect that human life would be so fragile, and Hongye actually left in front of him, he absolutely...wouldn't allow it.

His expression changed from rage to deep sadness, feeling that the whole world seemed to be dead and silent, and Ibaraki-douji who was beside him didn't dare to say anything, he looked solemn, watching Shuten-douji from Seimei's As if snatching away Hongye's body in her arms.

He heard Hongye's last words.

I am sorry.

But he doesn't care at all, no matter whether she likes him or not, it doesn't matter if she just apologizes to him, he just wants Hongye to come back to life, whether it's... let her continue to live as a human being, or become a monster.

After death, the human soul may continue to wander somewhere in the world, as long as he is fast enough to find her before the messenger leading to the underworld...

"I will take you back to Dajiangshan."

He just said such a sentence, facing the girl who seemed to be asleep in his arms.

Shuten-douji left with Hongye in his arms, and Ibaraki-douji was naturally accompanied by Shuten-douji who was full of thoughts about finding Hongye's soul back. He had no objection, he knew very well that no matter what he said at this time, it was useless Well, if Shuten-douji doesn't solve this knot, he will never be able to return to the past and become the former king.

There was a hint of sadness in Qingming's eyes, he shook his head, and said softly: "I think, I was wrong."

There is no pure black and white in this world. No matter human beings or monsters, as long as they are on the side of goodness, they should be the one he protects.

What he guards has always been the peaceful coexistence between monsters and humans, and has never taken sides.

Everything that my mother had told me, I had already forgotten unconsciously.

The black self in my heart is still clamoring: "You fool, haven't you seen the true face of human beings? Release me quickly, or give me the dominance of the body, this world will become what you want to see look."

Qingming said to the other self: "You are wrong, I never thought of taking revenge on the entire human race because of individual evils, nor did I think of turning the world into what you said... Maybe I am really a You fool, thinking that you can protect the peace between humans and monsters, so you should disappear."

He turned his eyes to the eight hundred bhikkhuni who had been standing aside all the time. After he finished his own affairs, he finally had time to face this strange woman. Just now, she seemed to want to be unfavorable to him.

But there didn't seem to be any grudges between him and her, and he couldn't even remember what she looked like.

"who are you?"

Eight hundred bhikkhuni smiled: "Sure enough, you have forgotten." She took out a long knife from nowhere as she spoke, looked at Qingming with a smile on her face, and stabbed the knife on her chest, as if Not feeling the slightest bit of pain, or maybe she was used to this kind of thing, she slowly pulled out the long knife, her chest was red, but the wound was healing at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

Something seemed to flash in Seimei's mind, and the woman in memory overlapped with the woman in the maiden costume in front of her.

He remembered.

The woman in front of her, named Babai Bikuni, had once saved her life with her master He Mao Zhongxing when she was young.

No, it shouldn't be that she saved her life. Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni is an immortal monster. She had approached He Mao Zhongxing decades ago, but he was just a child and didn't understand such a beautiful woman. What was the so-called reason for the master who came to him in the middle of the night, and he couldn't remember what happened afterwards, but he only vaguely remembered that she had an immortal body.

Eight Hundred Bhikkuni was smiling all the time, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Master Seimei, let me tell you a story."

Eight hundred bhikkhuni said.

On the other side, at the junction of the underworld and the human world, Yukie saw a familiar figure from the back. She saw countless monsters pouring out of that dark hole, she didn't care at all, just staring at that figure, just thinking He stepped forward but was pulled back.

Big Tengu looked at her impulsively, and whispered, "Don't go up, it's dangerous."

Xue Hui looked at that figure in disbelief, and when he turned his head, she froze.

It is Prajna.

Why is he here?
