Chapter 1: Autumn Coolness

It didn't take long for the beginning of autumn.

Yan Che and the others will stay until after the beginning of autumn and then go back. There's still a lot of time to take care of here.

Hundreds of thousands of souls are reincarnated in the underworld, and even if all the ghost officials work all day without rest (in fact, the ghost officials really don't need to rest), it will take a month. Therefore, during the earliest war of gods and demons, hundreds of thousands or even nearly a million people died at once, which would cause most of the souls to be reincarnated and stay in the underworld, and the human world was also extremely depressed because of the scarcity of people. Yama left the body of the ghost ten miles and returned to the underworld to manage many subordinates who could quickly reincarnate their souls. Removing the remission of the trial that had existed in the past, all the judges did not judge the undead, and were treated as innocent, and were directly reincarnated in the kingdom of Lai. According to the records in the book of life and death, those who still have a body will return to their own bodies, and those who do not have a body will take a moment to see what kind of birth they can reincarnate. During Yama's departure, the body of the ghost ten li was under the care of the demons. A cold corpse, and no one wanted to put that corpse in their room, so they simply put it in the morgue, and let Oni Shili be placed with a corpse waiting to be resurrected. In the morgue, people keep waking up every day, and it's a really exciting scene. However, most of the resurrected people have lost their memories and they will start living again. Fate will make them find their partners, their children and their parents again. Their names may not be remembered, but their birthdays are almost always on the same day.

That was the day when the world began again.

The souls of Shinaki Abe and Kagura also came to the underworld and were specially taken over by Yama. Kagura's soul was damaged, and only one wisp of soul remained of the three souls and seven spirits, and it can be said that it would take a long time to stay in the underworld to regain its integrity. Shinaki Abe is willing to wait in the underworld for Kagura to reinvent his soul, and he hopes that he will have the opportunity to be with Kagura in his next reincarnation. During this period, he took the initiative to help Yama deal with the ghosts from Laiguo, and also summoned all his Shikami to facilitate the management of the souls. Among them, the Yaqi Orochi finally stayed in the underworld and became a hell in the underworld. The rest of the Shikigami, such as the Great Tengu, have not erased their memories, and there is a deep mountain in the Lai country, which has been divided and reserved for youkai to live in. Demons also have good and evil, and these monsters are also the backbone of the battle of Laiguo. The mountain will be enchanted by even humans who can't enter, and maybe one day in the future, humans will be able to communicate with these creatures that they feared, after all, these creatures are actually changed from humans.

Human beings continue to resurrect, and only the three people who know about Laiguo are the Yanagi family. Their huge family and samurai clan are now the only three of them who are sober. They will tell the resurrected humans who they are and then arrange for them to live. Although the resurrected people have no memory, they have not forgotten the prophecies they have learned and the basic sense of survival, and perhaps those are instincts. There is no daimyo left in Laiguo, and Yagyu Juro acquiesces to Yan Toru as the new daimyo and leads the resurrected people to visit him, telling Laiguo that this demon is the new daimyo of Laiguo.

The people of Lai Guo did not feel the slightest fear when they heard the demons, and perhaps regarded the demons as a branch of the human race. Yan Che didn't like to be respected so much, and he didn't like others kneeling down to him at every turn on the mainland. He appointed Yanagi as the new daimyō, and the name of Laiguo would be changed to Yanguo in the future, and this was only one state of Yanguo.

But Yanagi has always refused, and in the eyes of the samurai, only those with high strength can be qualified for the position of daimyo. In the past, the inheritance system didn't like the samurai very much, but if you really want to be a daimyo yourself, anyone with a little conscience will feel that they are not worthy. Yan Che doesn't manage this, he only understands that what kind of person can make a good life for the people in his area, then he is the leader. Human beings are sometimes too stupid and feudal in choosing their successors, and often let a mentally handicapped and young child become king for the sake of orthodoxy, and trap the people of the country in disregard. Who is suitable and who is not suitable should be decided by the people. However, the situation of Laiguo is special, after all, everyone has just been resurrected, and I don't know who is the right person.

Yanagi Juro took over the responsibility of the daimyo of Laiguo, he gave up the name of his air sword, and also gave his famous sword flying cherry to Zhao Yige, and from then on he was no longer a samurai, but a leader for the welfare of the people. Zhao Yige later found his Chiyang sword, he had both Oni Che and Fei Ying, but it was a pity that he couldn't use three swords, the ghost qi on the Oni Che knife was still very heavy, and there was always a feeling of madness when he took it out, like an ominous weapon, or his original sword was the most handy.

Jiang Mengsheng also did it himself, running everywhere. They will stay in Lai for a few months until the end of the fall, when it is completely normal and then return to the mainland. Through the sea people, they have already surrendered to the demons, but the transportation and communication between the mainland and the Lai country will be unimpeded.

In the past few months, Fu Qinggu's stomach has gradually bulged. Hua Yao and Hua Rui checked Fu Qinggu's pregnancy and learned that she was pregnant with a pair of twins, which really made Yan Che and Yan Tiege, the two uncles and nephews, smile. After all, the probability of conceiving two demons at the same time is very low, and the same pair of demons will compete for breath in the arms of a pregnant woman, and will not give up until they squeeze out another brother. But Fu Qing's two children are healthy, and there is no hostility at all. However, Yan Tiege was also a little worried, after all, this was the first time that the demon clan had a child with a human. In the past, after the marriage of the demon and the demon, the female demon would die without exception during childbirth. Only Zhao Lingniang survived last time. But after all, Zhao Lingniang is a member of the Nuwa clan, a descendant of God, and her body is no better than ordinary people, what will happen to this human woman, he doesn't dare to imagine, he just hopes that he can be safe and sound in the future.

Even Yan Tiege didn't know that in fact, the twins in Fu Qinggu's belly were a man and a woman, or the reincarnation of an evil god. It's really a causal cycle.

During the days when Fu Qinggu stayed in Laiguo, Yan Che really never left, maybe he had a dream of being a hero, and he also wanted to calm the world and do what his mother had been doing in the past. Now he remembered what his mother had told him: Be content. As long as people are content, then there are not too many requirements for life, and there are not so many indifferent disputes. All strife and war are just because people are not satisfied. For a moment, he really didn't want to go to other countries to do anything unified. He also wanted to have a house that could make his family live in a stable place, with beautiful mountains and rivers, birds and flowers. It's a pity that such an environment is too hard to find, and only he can create such a world.

After three months, Kagura's soul in the underworld has finally recovered. Yama reincarnated the souls of both Shinaki Abe and Kagura to Rai Kingdom. If they are true love, there should be a day when they meet. Shinaki Abe and Kagura were the last pair of souls to be reincarnated in Raikoku, and after completing the reincarnation of this pair of souls, Yama also left the underworld and returned to the body of Raikoku where he had been lying for three months. When he was a god for tens of thousands of years, he had been so busy that he was even tired of his position in the underworld. Even the ghosts and gods are eager to be free and easy in the world, not asking about things outside the window, with a breeze on their sleeves, alone. Yama's favorite thing is to sail aimlessly on the vast sea with a small boat. He recalled the first time he landed in Laiguo, and the memories are vivid.

Autumn is over, and winter is coming soon. There are no more cherry blossoms in Laiguo, and they are withering. After Lai Guo returned to normal, Yan Che was also ready to return to the mainland. Time is like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, Yan Che has been in the world for almost half a year. His appearance remained unchanged, but one day he saw more gray hairs appear on Yan Tiege's hair, and suddenly sighed that the vicissitudes of time had left too many traces on the old man's face. His father died so early, and he could live another three hundred years, but he couldn't beat the thought and his mother left one after another. Looking at Yan Tiege's aging, Yan Che felt that his last blood relative was also far away from him. It was originally an extremely sad picture, but Yan Che just didn't have tears. This damn demon bloodline is not as refreshing as a human being! Cry when you want to, laugh when you want to laugh.

On the island of Kyushu, dozens of large ships have all been repaired. All the soldiers who died in the battle in Lai were resurrected. Those corpses were all salvaged ashore under Yan Tiege's orders, and they could all be resurrected after death, without having to be reincarnated here. Last, dozens of ships departed in a majestic manner, just as they had come before.

The people of Laiguo, who have been reborn, do not know that the people on the ship are the ones who have traveled thousands of miles to change their fate, but after that, they will be like a family, and they will treat the people on the ship as relatives who have left home. Perhaps to eliminate all the gaps in the world, a real purge is possible. However, no one can accept such a cruel picture, just like no one knows that they can be reincarnated again after they die. Cherishing life and living every day well is the life that human beings dream of the most.

It would take a few days for the big ship to sail on the sea, and everyone was bored on board. After Fu Qinggu learned that he was a twin, he came to Yan Che's side and asked him if he had named the child. This time Yan Che made a difficulty, he was very good at naming moves, but he didn't know anything about people's names. It stands to reason that he should ask the opinions of the elders, so he came over to ask Yan Tiege.

Yan Tiege has a lot of ideas. Although the demon clan doesn't pay much attention to the name, it is all decided by the fathers, and there is no such thing as a human ancestral genealogy. He made a list of all the good words, wanting Yan Che to pick them himself. Just as Yan Che was deciding what to choose, an unfortunate piece of news came from the mainland, which made him have no idea of naming his child for the time being—most of the area north of Jiang Guo had been captured by Liang State!
