Hua Ying's old dream

Covered in cold sweat, Konoha sat up in a cloak.After repeated embarrassments, Konoha became introverted and self-closing. He deliberately forgot the only "false memory" about everyone in his mind, and ignored Xingchuan and Qianxia's visits again and again, as well as Suzuko and Ming's love. Warm invitation.The childhood friend's wish came true, and he finally looked forward to Konoha's return, but the guy who returned looked at them with a cold and alienated expression.Konoha remembered that they were crying to say goodbye to her that day, but she just shed a few tears in response to the occasion, pretending to be sad.The next day, when the truck loaded with all the furniture drove to the new home in the big city, Konoha was lying on the back window, looking at the small town where he had lived for seven or eight years but had a vague memory, and was vaguely expecting someone to see him off, but no one came .

The brocade fox with three tails curled up quietly appeared beside him: "You have already recalled it."

Konoha nodded: "It was Goddess Qiongtian who saved me, right?"

"I persuaded her, but she still insisted on saving you." Jinhu looked cautiously at the inner room where Qiongtian was sleeping peacefully: "When we found you, you had been submerged in the water for a long time, and you were completely dead. It was Qiongtian who let you live." But some things are irreversible, such as all kinds of past lives, which have long since disappeared with death."

So I can't remember the things about my friends clearly, even after many years, I have already forgotten their names... But why don't I have any memory of Qiong Tian's things?Konoha frowned tightly, the answer was ready to come out, but it seemed to be firmly sealed in the depths of his mind, and he tried hard to capture...

"Rescuing a dead person is tantamount to going against the sky. Qiongtian needs to wake up your heart, and then slowly help you sort out all kinds of emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and finally let you adapt to life in the world. Fuck her spiritual power." Jinhu was still chattering to himself: "It's a pity that all of this is still in vain."

"Since I was almost caught at the summer festival, Qiongtian decided to return you to the town, to your parents and friends. But one year is too short, there are too many things to do in time, and the memories of childhood have not yet Repair, you don't even recognize your parents, let alone your childhood friends, you only have a warm impression in your subconscious. Qiongtian had no choice but to rewrite your memory, obviously it was the experience you shared with her It has been tampered with a vague impression of you and your human friends. Although the events that happened are greatly deviated, only in this way can you recover into a complete human boy in a short period of time." Jinhu sighed: "As I just said , the fact that she saved you fundamentally violated the law of cause and effect, and that's why it's where you are today."

I remembered!In the complicated memories, Konoha finally found that vague figure.In the empty world after death, Qiongtian is like a light illuminating nothingness, bringing him warmth, bringing him a new life, and leading him to appreciate all the tenderness and beauty in the world.Together they watched the falling snow, the cherry blossoms, and the new shoots in the forest in spring.In order to help Konoha get acquainted with the town where he was born, Qiongtian occasionally encouraged him to go for a walk around the town in the early morning, and even transformed into a girl in a fancy dress at the annual summer festival to take him around the streets, feeling Human fireworks.

It turns out that Qiongtian has done so much for herself, and it turns out that she brought herself here just to get along for a while before disappearing... What kind of happiness is it to see the child who she tried so hard to save grow up safely?Even if he has completely forgotten about himself.

Konoha suddenly came back to his senses, and grabbed Jinhu: "You just said——to this point?"

"The shrine will be demolished soon, do you think it's just a coincidence?" Jinhu avoided Konoha's hand with a calm expression: "After you returned to the town in a daze, there were rumors in the town that you were killed by a mountain ghost in the mountains. With her soul taken away, maybe the goddess of Qiongtian Shrine is just a monster."

"Although the goddess has fulfilled so many wishes for them, they can't feel it. I'm not surprised that the goddess is evil. In addition, Qiongtian should have been punished in the first place. You think this punishment is just a lightning strike Come down? No, it is subtle, and before you notice it, the future has quietly changed. Shrines will be demolished, goddesses will disappear, people in the new era no longer need the gods of the old era, everything is over gone."

Listening to Jinhu's narration in a calm tone, Konoha was silent for a long time.The red candles in the corner of the room were burned out, the dawn was gradually shining in front of the window, and the illusion formed by Qiongtian disappeared. One person and one fox sat in the dilapidated shrine, relatively speechless.

"It's time." Jinhu flicked his long tail and patted Konoha's shoulder: "Qiong Tian will not allow me to say these words to you, she just wants you to live this life peacefully and peacefully , as it did many years ago. But I sometimes feel wronged for her, after all, she is tired of the world, so she has no desire to survive and let herself dissipate, and you—"

Seeing Konoha's excited expression, Jinhu smiled, turned and left: "Go, there is a cherry blossom forest on the right when you go out, there is still time to run."

Qiongtian put on her festival attire and stood in the cherry blossom forest. She raised her head and let the mountain morning breeze brush her cheeks and long hair.A night of feasting with hundreds of flowers, all blooming to the fullest, but the dawn has come, the spiritual power has faded, and the rest are nothing but willows and flowers.It's time to end, Qiong Tian closed his eyes, recalling the first part of the past.

Hundreds of years ago, Qiongtian was still a carefree flower fairy in the mountains and forests. Qiongtian has never been interested in what is going on in the world. Hold a feast of flowers and have fun.Qiongtian has many friends, and the three-tailed brocade fox is one of them. The flower fairy and fox demon have known each other since they were young, and it can be regarded as a rare and deep friendship.

On that day, Qiongtian's birthday, the Hundred Flowers Banquet was held as scheduled, and all the immortals gathered in the cherry blossom forest, and they would not return if they were not drunk.After drinking for three rounds, Xiaoxian who maintained the barrier was full of tipsiness, and let a mortal in.The man claimed to be a passing traveler, but Qiongtian recognized at a glance that he was a boy from the village chief's family at the foot of the mountain, or he was a little nervous when he saw a group of fairies, so he told a harmless little lie.Qiongtian didn't take it seriously, this young man was handsome, tall, and played cards well, he was an interesting and wonderful person, so why should he care about the details.

Throughout the dinner, Qiong Tian's eyes only lingered on the young man, and to his surprise, he seemed to be interested in her as well.The guests dispersed, only the young man did not leave, he begged Qiongtian to stay, stay in the world, and be with him forever.

Regardless of Jinhu's dissuasion, Qiongtian nodded. She fell in love with mortals and decided to give up her free life and act as a goddess to protect this land and its people forever.As a token, she gave the boy three seeds and looked forward to seeing him again.

But Qiongtian didn't know that the young man's visit was not a marriage from heaven, but a legend about a fairy in the forest circulating in the village.The boy just came here to try his luck, and wanted to ask a god to help him to make the poor life a little easier. The original intention of begging Qiongtian to stay was just to keep a fairy so that he could satisfy his selfish desire for a long time.After getting three seeds, the boy successfully changed the barren land, and the bumper harvest of every family brought him the respect of all the villagers.But he who once harbored evil thoughts could never see Qiongtian again. Qiongtian watched him running in the mountains and forests, and begged herself to see him with tears. For him, it is more likely that the young man has difficulty letting go of his past.

But these words, Qiongtian will never be able to convey to the young man, even if the two stand opposite each other, it is like an invisible wall separating them.She watched helplessly as the boy lost and left again and again, and finally turned into a piece of loess in front of the shrine. The goddess' life was so long, and all that was left was full of regrets.Until she received the ema of the four children including Suzuko, she was surprised to find that this child named Konoha had exactly the same face as the original boy.

Seeing the reincarnation of that young man die like that in the icy river, Qiongtian squandered his spiritual power regardless of the cost, and finally went against the sky to save Konoha's life.She spent a year with him carefree, but had to personally modify his memory about herself and send him back to the world.It has been 16 years since he returned to the small town.

At the age of 16, it was the age when the handsome young man met her for the first time. Qiongtian was very happy that Konoha still had a clear heart and could still see herself. The last bit of spiritual power formed an illusion and spent a pure and happy time with him.But the day of saying goodbye is unavoidable, last time it was he who said goodbye, this time it was Qiongtian who said goodbye, maybe the two of them had no destiny at all, the real fate is to miss.

"Don't go!—" A boy's voice came from far to near, even though it was accompanied by violent panting, it was still as clear as in memory.

Qiongtian stood under the cherry tree, and the falling flowers penetrated her translucent body, she shook her head.

"But I can no longer be a goddess to protect you."

"Don't be a goddess anymore, please let me protect you for the rest of the day..." Konoha bent down, he was exhausted from running hard for a long time, he was out of breath, he gritted his teeth, and stretched out his hand to Qiongtian: " Please - stay!"

Qiongtian smiled, two lines of tears slowly fell, her body became transparent in an instant, and then dispersed into stardust all over the sky, each stardust turned into a fallen flower, covering the ground in the faint morning light.

The summer vacation is gradually passing, and it is the beginning of the year again. After returning to the big city, Konoha comes to the school to report at the stipulated time.A new grade was promoted, the teaching building was changed, and the seats were rearranged. Konoha, who always sat in the last row, lost his deskmate. He sat alone by the window, thinking about what happened after the summer festival.

Qiongtian dissipated, and Jinhu disappeared without a trace. Konoha couldn't remember how he got down the mountain. He was sad for a long time, but life would go on. Some kindness can only be buried in the bottom of his heart, but he will never have a chance to repay it.

"A new classmate came to the class." The class teacher walked into the office with the bell ringing, and a girl with long hair followed her. Even her school uniform, which was nothing new, couldn't hide her bright appearance.

"It's so beautiful..." One after another, there were endless compliments.

The homeroom teacher knocked on the podium and signaled the transfer students to introduce themselves.The girl turned around and wrote her name on the blackboard. She had a slender figure, with a cherry pink schoolbag on her shoulders, and a fox face hung sideways lightly.

"My name is Qiongtian, please take care of me."
