Chapter 18 Opening
(a)
"Later, I also spent a little effort to send the entire White Jade Tower to the Underworld, of course, compared to the previous things, these are small things. Yakumo Zi said, "That's probably all I can tell about Yuyuko's life. ”
"I have one more question ......"
After the story of a thousand years ago was told, Nalan Yu asked for the first time.
"Loved. ”
Purple, who was being held by his princess because of fatigue, freezing, knee sprains, and various mental injuries, replied.
"Throw you!" Nalan threatened with a smile.
"Okay, I'm just kidding!" said Yakumo coquettishly, "Say, what's the problem?"
"Yuyuko's soul and the soul of the Westward Demon aren't separated, are they?"
"Yes, because the union is so perfect, they have become one, and even I can't separate them. ”
"Then, is the current Yuyuko the original Yuyuko, or the Westward Demon who has lost his memory, or ...... Anything else?"
"yes, what is it?"
Yakumo Zi poked her lower lip with her finger, thought to herself for a while, and then showed an ambiguous smile and said ambiguously:
"There are some things that can't be found to be true until it undergoes a critical change!, so the current Yuyuko may be a superimposed state of the Westbound Demon and Yuyuko!"
"Schrödinger's Youyuzi?" Nalan complained with an eyebrow.
"Objectively speaking, Yuyuko's current soul is made up of the part of herself and the part of the Westward Demon. It's just that these two parts were cut off by the White Mansion Sword and returned to their initial state, so they didn't have any memory. Yakumo explained, "So whether she is Yuyuko or the Westward Demon, outsiders can't tell the difference, after all, the personalities of both are only blank!"
"Well, what I did was to keep telling her from the day she became a ghost, 'She's Yuyuko of Saikyuki Temple', and instilling in her a false 'Yuyuko's life', telling her how happy Yuyuko was during her lifetime. Purple added, "So now, it doesn't matter if she's Yuyuko or not. Importantly, she firmly believes that she is the 'Seigyuji Yuyuko' herself. ”
"Is 'ignorance bliss'?"
"Yes, ignorance is bliss. ”
Yakumo Zi stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, closed his palms, and spread them out again, leaving only a piece of cold snow water in his palm.
"Sometimes I wonder if Yuyuko's current form is the most suitable for her. "I mean, not everyone is born human, but we have no choice but to struggle to survive." ”
"We can't decide our own birth, but at least, most of us can choose our own way of death, and that's the kindness of Mother Nature. ”
"Say as if you were once a human being. Nalan said disapprerovingly.
"Hehe, who knows......"
Yakumo Zi laughed, turned his face away, and looked into the distance.
"Then again," Nalan said again, "why did you find Yuyuko in the first place? and spell this bird for her, this is not the Yakumo Purple style I am familiar with!"
"Just follow me to find you in the desert," Zi glanced at him and said, "You weigh it yourself, why is that?"
"Because you want to use her first and then stab her to death, if she is not dead, repeat step one, am I right, Xiao Zizi?"
"Kill you, little twilight!"
"Seriously, why?"
"Why does the butterfly fly around the flowers?" Purple asked rhetorically, "just because it needs to eat?"
"Yes, it's because it needs to be eaten, and for no other reason. ”
"I hate you, Nalan Twilight. ”
"Me too, Yakumo Murasaki. ”
(b)
The two of them went all the way, "talking and laughing", and "the atmosphere was harmonious", and they returned home, to be precise, Yakumo Zi's home.
At that time, it was late at night, and Xianhu Yakumo Blue had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Nalan Yu put Yakumo Zi down, waved his hand, didn't say a word, turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Zi. He looked back and found that the half-old was pinching the corner of his clothes, and persuaded with a coquettish face:
"It's so cold, why don't you come in and sit?"
It's not an implication, it's explicit.
As soon as he heard this, he laughed with a "poof", and nodded his head and said:
"Yes!
"Huh?"
At this moment, Yakumo Purple was a little embarrassed.
"No, I'm just talking about fun, how can you take it seriously......"
"I'm sure I'm serious, I'm such an upright person, I'll believe whatever you say!" Nalan said, and walked into the house first, greeting Lan and saying:
"Blue, help me make the bed out thank you. ”
"I'm sorry, there are no extra beds 'just' now," Lan bowed and said respectfully, "Can you just use the big bed of Lord Zi?"
"Yes!"
"Blue—" Purple blushed and roared at Blue:
"You betray me!"
"Then," Nalan said again, "is the bath water boiling?"
"It's burned, do you wash it first or Purple first?"
"What's the order, it's okay to be together!" Nalan Yu said, pulled the zipper on the spot, took off his coat, threw it on the shelf on the side, and then spread his hands and said frankly:
"I don't mind at all!"
"Nalan Gege I was wrong, I was wrong, I can't do it!" Purple lowered her haughty head and pleaded, "I didn't say that sentence just now, so please go back!"
"No sincerity, you apologetic ......" Nalan waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's been so many years, do you think I can't see through your little caution?
"Wrong...... That's right......"
"So today is a full proof that I'm not the same person I used to be!
"Yes, Mr. Nalan, please come here!"
"So Lan, you two-and-five-"
To Yakumo's disappointment, Nalan was sent back by Yakumo Purple in a gap after taking a bath, so nothing happened.

In the underworld, the white jade building, the cherry blossoms in the garden have not bloomed for a long time due to the non-stop spring snow, and only the westward demon in the center of the courtyard blooms faintly under the glow of the stars and snow.
The cherry blossoms are all in full bloom, showing a state of "eight-point saki", and the remaining two points that have not bloomed have also reached the verge of awakening.
"The time has come, and finally, all the 'spring' has gathered here......"
Yuyuko of Xixing Temple stood under the Xixing Demon, caressing the old and rough bark, and his eyes were full of nostalgia. The granddaughter of the soul demon jealous, the soul demon dream, stood not far behind her, kneeling on one knee and waiting with her head bowed.
"In a short time, this westward demon will usher in the 'full opening' ...... after a thousand years."
The cherry blossom glow in her eyes was getting stronger.
"I can feel that 'someone' who is sleeping under this cherry tree is waking up little by little. When this demon cherry blossom is in full bloom, it will be the day of the resurrection of the daughter of Fujimi!"
"Let me see, Westwalker! What is the secret buried beneath your roots...... Hiccup!"
Just as the sassy story was about to get to the highlights, Yuyuko gave a loud, flavorful burp out of place, ruining the atmosphere she had created.
"I've drunk a little too much, hahaha!" Yuyuko smiled stupidly and patted her head lightly, "Yuyuko is a big failure!"
A breeze blew, and a few cherry blossoms fell, sticking to Youmeng's sweaty head.

The next morning, before dawn, the silvery white enchanted forest slept silently in the cold morning mist. This tranquility should have lasted long, but it was completely broken by a certain noisy girl like a monkey.
"Knock knock!"
"Alice—"
Marisa, dressed in winter clothes, stopped at Alice's door, and slammed into the wooden door in front of her, causing the snow on the eaves to slide down in pieces, which was no different from demolishing a house. She slammed on the door and shouted:
"Alice, open the door, I'm in a hurry!"
"Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated, bastard!"
Alice tore open the door and held up the broom in her hand to Marisa's face. The broom made Marisa's eyes go straight to Venus, and she staggered back a few steps before she sat down on the ground.
"Good...... It's too much, Alice......"
Marisa sat on the cold snow, covering her nose with her thick woolen gloves, and was so aggrieved that she almost cried.
"You'd better have a good reason why you woke me up from the bed at half past six in the morning. Alice flicked the broom in her hand, clapped her hands, frowned, and said:
"Otherwise, I'll show you what 'bed gas' is!"
Marisa could see that she was really angry, and hurriedly patted her ass and stood up, smiling, and explained in a good voice:
"I'm not, I have made a new major discovery, and I'm anxious to share the results with you! I apologize for disturbing your rest, but it's not okay to apologize!"
"You have ten seconds to explain this 'big discovery' to me. ”
Alice's expression was as cold as a string of ice mounds hanging on the eaves. She was already much taller than Marisa, and she stood on the top of the steps, so condescending that Marisa couldn't speak.
"Ten...... Nine ......"
If you can't open your mouth, you have to open it hard!
"Slow, slow!" Marisa straightened her hat and said in a panic, "Don't be in such a hurry, listen to me talk slowly......"
"Eight...... Seven ......"
Alice's expression didn't fluctuate at all, and it was even colder than just now. Marisa had no choice but to remove the branches and leaves, pick out the trunk, and yelled:
"I ...... I've found out what's causing this snow to stop!"
Alice stopped counting, looked at Marisa, who was blushing and panting, and looked at her expectantly, and said expressionlessly:
"Come in. ”
"Wow—negotiation successful!" Marisa jumped for joy.
"Go inside and take off your shoes, sloppy ghost!"
"Okay, Alice, Margaery, Your Highness Migher IV!"
"It's Margot Royd!"

"I said, Rinnosuke......"
"Huh?"
In the frost and snow-covered Xianglin Hall, an electric heater glows a warm orange light. Reimu, Rinnosuke, and Toki sat around the small coffee table, each holding a cup of hot tea.
"Don't you think," Reimu leaned over Rinnosuke and said, "Isn't this weather a little too weird?"
"I don't know. ”
Rin nosuke held a teacup in one hand and a book in the other, and he was looking at Xing's head. What Reimu said, he simply went in with one ear and went out with one ear.
"Anyway, it's May!" Reimu said unrelentingly, "This snow hasn't stopped until now, I'm afraid it's a mutation!"
"Oh. ”
"What do you think?"
"I don't understand. ”
"You know how to read, and you don't know what to ask. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Ahh
Reimu wrapped the scarf around his shoulders, stood up, and said:
"It's so cold, I'm idle, I'm idle, I'm free to talk to you, I might as well solve this anomaly!"
With such a sentence, she strode to the door.
"Jingle bell!"
A brand-new brass bell hung on the brand-new wooden door, and the sound was as crisp as a bird's. Until Reimu left, Rinnosuke never took his eyes off the book. He put down the teacup, turned the page, and suddenly looked up as if he realized something, and said:
"Eh, why is Reimu gone?"
"Hmm. ”
The voice was the Toki who was also holding a book in her hand, and like Rinnosuke, she didn't know exactly what the other party said, she just answered casually.
"Did she say anything before she left?" Rinnosuke asked again.
"I don't know. ”
"That's ......"
Rinnosuke thought for a moment, then picked up the book again and continued to read.
"Forget it," he said to himself, taking a sip of his tea, "probably some kind of mutation or something!"
