Chapter 7: Memories of Black Smoke

The ethereal smoke and the disembodied youkai made a physical attack ineffective, and Fujiwara drew his sword to block it, but Mei Hong moved faster and threw out a spell card.

Immortal "Firebird - Phoenix Wings in the Sky"

With Mei Hong's shout, the flaming bird flew out of the spell card and crashed into the black smoke.

But more than three meters of flames passed through the smoke without causing any damage, and the smoke of the youkai was not unseen, but it had never seen any youkai alive to carry the fire of the immortal bird.

Unless, it is not a living thing.

Sister Hong blocked in front of Fujiwara Ki, and flames began to burn on her body, Fujiwara Ki was thinking, when the flames were extinguished, what would be the scene?

However, the smoky youkai had a sanity, and it bypassed the flaming girl, swept over her head, and swooped down towards Fujiwara.

"Stand back. ”

Mei Hong, who has long retired from the monsters, shows her ability to deal with these monsters.

When the black smoke rushed down, Mei Hong squatted down, pinched a spell card, and was ready to jump at any time, as long as it could block it, Fujiwara Ki behind would be fine.

In the self-police team, he is entrusted with the retreat of the monster.,I'm obliged to maintain stability in the world.,Although Fujiwara Ji seems to have some strange identity.,But he didn't feel any threat in him.,So it's just an ordinary person.,Only you can stop it.。

But as soon as Mei Hong moved, she pressed her with one hand.

"You're not good at dealing with this kind of thing. Fujiwara Ki held Meihong's shoulders and led her behind him, "The flame you're proud of doesn't seem to work." ”

"Be careful! It's not something you can deal with. Mei Hong wanted to grab Fujiwara's hand and pull him back, but when her hand grabbed Fujiwara's arm, she was suddenly bounced away by an invisible force.

Mei Hong was knocked back a step, her hand grabbed in the void, and she looked at his back in a daze.

I don't know how long it was, and a hand suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Hey, you're in a daze. ”

The Fujiwara family saw Meihong standing there in a trance, and waved his hand in front of her.

Mei Hong's body trembled, and reflexively put the hand knife across Fujiwara's neck, as long as a few millimeters were missing, he could be injured and fall to the ground. Fortunately, she restrained her hand, but let the burning flames roast the cold hairs on her skin, and the damage was not substantial.

"What are you crazy about!" Fujiwara Ki slapped the hand on his neck, and Mei Hong's face turned red, but Fujiwara Ki was not in the mood to look at her expression at all. Just now, when he suddenly almost slashed at a fateful place, Fujiwara was so frightened that his heart stopped for half a beat.

"How can you put people to death if you don't agree at a glance. ”

"It's just a reflex. Mei Hong's face was a little dark, and she lowered her head in a muffled voice, not wanting to explain too much, Fujiwara Ki didn't try to upset her again.

Restrained her low feelings, Mei Hong looked left and right, and the black smoke just now was completely gone.

"Where's that smoke?"

"I just blocked it with a talisman and made it temporarily fixed in one place, but then the black smoke dispersed directly and disappeared in front of me. ”

"Disappearing? Is it scattered into invisible particles that slipped away from here? It's really useless. ”

"No, it's a direct disappearance, I see that it seems to have lost its power to sustain, the color has faded, and the ominous demonic aura has also emitted in the air, as if it has died suddenly, more precisely, it is like a puppet with a broken thread, and it naturally disappears after losing control. ”

"Yanyanluo?"

Mei Hong underestimated.

"What's that?"

"It's just a kind of smoky monster, but it's not like it, this black smoke scene is a little familiar, but I don't know where I've seen it, so you just think it's a smoke and smoke. ”

In fact, the impression of this black smoke in my mind was very clear, and how similar this smoky scene was, it was my memory before swallowing the elixir.

Mt. Fuji was mostly covered with virgin vegetation a long time ago, and that night, exhausted, I followed the man to the summit of Mt. Fuji.

Fiery red magma tumbled in the hollow roof, wisps of black smoke drifted into the sky, disappearing into the endless sky.

Faced with the greatness of nature and the power of the volcano, I cowered in horror and leaned against the heavy stones, trying to find comfort in the immobile rocks.

In front of me, Iwakasa tied the pot with Ashigaru and prepared to throw it into the crater, I don't know what the pot contained, what Iwakasa should know, but he hid it from me, and from the soldiers. I don't know why he did that, but the pot was left behind by Kaguyahime, and I wanted it so badly that I swore a poisonous oath.

But ideals and reality are, after all, two completely different things, and no matter how much I look forward to it, I will not be able to snatch it from the hands of those soldiers.

When I was already feeling hopeless and unwilling, the woman appeared, and it is unknown whether she appeared at my request, but she did help me get the Penglai medicine from beginning to end.

When Iwakasa found her, she was standing in front of the flames, and her sacred gesture that did not belong to the human world was overwhelming, and many people knelt down to worship her.

The peerless woman who suddenly appeared called herself Sakiyahime and was the god here.

I don't know why she's here, but her presence is what makes this qiē change. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would have spent my short life as a human being without worry, but it was she who made me find the meaning of existence in my long-term resentment.

That night, when Iwakasa and I woke up, he was in front of me, and there were corpses lying on the ground, and Sakia was there, after telling Iwakasa's men that the pot contained the elixir of immortality.

Iwakasa and I both fell asleep, and we didn't know what happened during the night, but when we woke up, it was a hellish scene. She said it was the result of the soldiers trying to snatch the elixir and kill each other, but I saw that their bodies were scorched with flames, which would not have been possible with normal fire.

I noticed this, and so did Iwakasa, who stood in front of me, using his fragile body to block the even more fragile me.

Saki Yahime is the mountain god here, and I don't know what position she took to appear here, to prevent the soldiers from destroying the elixir, the scourge that makes people greedy.

But she spared me and Iwakasa, and let me and him bring the elixir of immortality to Mt. Yagatake, where there is a god in charge of immortality, and the best outcome is to enshrine the elixir there.

I don't know why she was so kind to the two of us, but I couldn't help but feel a heartfelt gratitude to the god, and I didn't notice the deep bottomless look in her eyes.

In the protection of Iwakasa, we walked down the mountain together, and at that time I became dependent on Iwakasa as a person, and I was a little girl who depended on an adult, and it was understandable that I would protect my people.

This is the first time that the Fujiwara family has begun to collapse from the bottom of my heart, after climbing the mountain for a day, my body can no longer hold on, my consciousness is a little groggy, in the haze I see black smoke, black smoke wrapped around the elixir of immortality.

That is also the cause of the disaster, the curse of Penglai medicine, and the filth on the ground.

Maybe I should call that black smoke the name of calamity, sin, and other great sins, instead of the simple black smoke and black fog in my memory, which seems nondescript.

More than 1,300 years have passed, and now I chew on it repeatedly, and the disgusting familiarity makes me more vigilant.

Now this man has also encountered black smoke, and he, like me, has he also encountered the arrangement of fate?
