Chapter 8 Prologue: Mankind, Offer Spring
When Reimu and Sakiya had an in-depth and friendly exchange on the issue of compensation for expenses based on the principle of peaceful coexistence and reached a constructive agreement, a cold voice came from behind:
"Are you so confident that you've beaten me?"
"Isn't the result obvious?" Reimu and Sakiya were already preparing to leave, and when they heard Yuyuko's words, Reimu stopped and turned his head to look at her, "What, you want to play tricks? ”
"It's not a joke. Yuyuko stood up slowly, her clothes were a little torn, and the ghost's emblem on her hat was a little torn, but it didn't detract from her noble demeanor.
Patting the dirt on her body, Yuyuko sighed and said, "It's still very unwilling to just give up like this." You two humans, Yakumo Purple, don't want to see the Westward Demon in full bloom. ”
"Hakuri Reimu, you don't have to rush to do it, it's too early for the spring to be collected. Yuyuko paused Reimu to continue her movements, and said gloomily, "Since I had my memory, the Westward Demon has been here, and it has never bloomed once in thousands of years. Don't you wonder why?"
"Not curious. ”
"A little curious. ”
Reimu and Sakiya disagreed, with the former glaring angrily at the latter's inability to judge the situation, and the maid could only smile helplessly.
"Even though she's a human girl, that maid is much cuter than you. Yuyuko smiled kindly at Sakiya, and seemed to be satisfied that the other party could listen to her.
"Hmph. Reimu didn't say anything, snorted, shook the imperial coin in his hand, but didn't show the ** of the battle again, just stood in place and hugged his barren chest, listening to what Yuyuko wanted to say.
The cherry blossoms in the white jade building are in full bloom, and the petals of the stars fall from the branches, covering the atrium, a scene full of spring. And around the Westbound Demon, there is only a barren land, on the barren soil, stands the withered branches of the Westbound Demon, and the transparent necromancer is entwined in it, exuding an ominous aura, even if it absorbs a lot of spring, it is still that lifeless appearance, nothing has changed.
It's just a demon tree, which has maintained a state of dead silence for thousands of years, not flowering, not fruiting, not dying, and not dying, and the strange scene makes this long-lived ghost can't help but think about it, and his mood is rippling.
Yuyuko stroked the rough trunk of the Westward Demon, and her gaze, which was as calm as water, also looked a little confused. As if speaking to the Westward Demon, Yuyuko muttered to herself.
"The more we ponder the invisible past, the more we hesitate, the more we struggle in the new era, but we still can't get rid of it, how can the ghost of the world walk on the earth without feet? The spirit of the underworld who has died in my country is nothing more than becoming an immortal, becoming a Buddha, being reincarnated, who will be remembered when they fall into the hell of reincarnation, and what will they forget when they become immortals and become Buddhas. Many living beings are blissful after death, and what have they cut off, and what have they earned......"
"Yuyuko!"
Reimu's call woke her up from her state of confusion.
Yuyuko opened her mouth, didn't make any sound, and after being stunned for a while, she pursed her lips, and the fan covered half of her face, Yuyuko said with a low smile: "Hakuri Reimu, you can't wait so much." ”
Reimu squinted: "No, no, no, you still don't need to say it, be your undead with peace of mind, I didn't hear anything just now." ”
"What, you're afraid that you'll miss yourself?" Yuyuko chuckled, snapped her fan, and tapped it on the palm of her hand.
Waving his hand, Reimu said: "I'm just a human being, but I haven't lived for an unknown number of years like you and Zi, and I don't feel anything about what you said, so no matter what you say, I will still stop it, and I won't show mercy." ”
"Gensokkyo needs peace, no
"Huh?!" Sakuya didn't expect Reimu to suddenly mention her, and she also used her as a negative teaching material.
"Well, the red mist mutation last time was the fault of our Red Devil Pavilion, but we have already been taught a lesson by Reimu and Yakumo Purple. Sakuya quietly pulled the corner of Reimu's clothes and whispered, "But Reimu, can't you stop mentioning it, it's embarrassing to say this in front of others." ”
"Well, I see, I'm done anyway. Reimu held the Imperial Coin to Yuyuko, "Anyway, it's not okay to create a mutation in Gensokyo. So do you want to give up now, a wandering ghost, or do you want to give up after I teach you a lesson?"
"Can't you negotiate?" Yuyuko sighed.
"Naturally, it can't be negotiated. ”
"Not even a little compromise?"
"Yes, that's what I mean, and it's also what purple means, I believe that they don't want to see it whether it's Monster Mountain or Hell. Reimu was resolute and said unceremoniously: "Everyone has a little bit of an understanding of the rumors of the Westward Demon, and they all know that once it blooms, it will definitely not be a good thing, otherwise the previous mages would not have taken great pains to seal it up." If you do this, even if I don't take care of you, the hell side will stop it after all, although I don't know what the reason is for this time and I didn't make any moves, but I think it's because of the purple. Even so, you still don't give up?"
"Purple is still like that, always avoiding the important things in the matter of the westward demon, even if it is stopped, isn't this also a way to drink to quench your thirst, rather than this, it is better to be that fragile glass man, even if it will be shattered, it is better than roasting heartfelt meat on the fire. ”
The words of the beginning of Reimu made Yuyuko a little shaken, but in the end, it strengthened her determination to break the boat.
"Is it that exaggerated?" Reimu shook her head in disbelief, "Is this your obsession left on the other side?"
"Well, I'm pretty close to the answer now, so I'm not going to ......"
"Yuyuko-sama. ”
"Yuyuko-sama. ”
Yuyuko was at the peak of her love, and the voice of the soul demon dream came from a distance, which immediately dispelled her momentum, and the feeling like a fish in her throat made her extremely uncomfortable.
Losing that momentum, Yuyuko could no longer say that kind of ruinous declaration, so she chose to be silent.
When Yumu came to her, she only saw her adult and the other two people as if they were facing each other in silence.
Although it was a little strange, Youmu still came to Yuyuko.
"Yuyuko-sama, what's wrong, something went wrong with collecting spring?" As soon as Yuyuko got closer, Youmeng told her the bad news first.
"What's wrong?"
"Yuyuko-sama, we don't have enough spring to collect. Youmeng told her the news of this thunderbolt on a sunny day with one mouth, "Now that the outside world fantasy village is gone, all of them have gathered in the underworld." ”
"Not enough?" Yuyuko didn't expect that the result of her hard work would fall short here.
"Yes, even if the barrier of the underworld is broken, no spring has entered. Youmu explained the situation on the other side of the barrier, "I probed around the periphery of the underworld, and indeed the natural spring is gone. ”
"Why is this happening?" Yuyuko was a little difficult to accept, and she held on to the trunk of the westward demon in frustration, and it took a long time to come to her senses and laugh self-deprecatingly.
"Hey, you ghost, what the hell are you doing?"
Yuyuko's gaze kept wandering over the two humans, and her expression was a little joking: "Since the natural spring is gone, there are just two humans who are full of spring, so let's borrow the spring in your body, although it will be weak for a while, it will not be a big problem." ”
"Hmph" Reimu snorted at Yuyuko's gaze, "Although I don't know how you collected it, but if you want it, you can get it, as long as you can get it." ”
"It's nature. ”
Rubbing his head with a headache, Lingmeng said helplessly: "Sure enough, you still have to be beaten up to speak well, why can't people understand each other." ”
Yuyuko solemnly took out a spell card and said: "Hakurei witch and the maid next to you, since we have to do it, we will decide what to do with the final spell card, if you lose, I will return the spring to you, if you win, the flowering of the westward demon is a foregone conclusion." ”
"This ......," Sakiya hesitated.
"Agreed. Reimu nodded in response, and Sakuya was silent and did not object.
"Then it's settled. With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Yuyuko ordered to Youmeng, "Youmeng, you go down first and guard the entrance of the White Jade Tower." ”
"Yes. Youmeng answered, and walked in the direction of the stairs of the White Jade Tower, keeping a vigilant gaze on Reimu and Sakuya on the way.
"Wait a minute, Soul Youmu, can you ask the person who came with me?" Sakiya asked Youmu as she prepared to leave.
"That's it. Soul Demon Dream tilted her head and thought, "I don't know." ”
"What do you mean?" Sakiya frowned.
Youmeng scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "I didn't defeat that black-and-white magician. After you left, Yakumo-sama's Shikimi Yakumo Blue came over and said that he wanted justice for her Shikijin Orange, and then knocked Marisa unconscious. ”
"What does that have to do with us. Reimu asked strangely, "Have we ever bullied Orange Meow?" Reasonable Orange Meow is still quite cute, I can't even bear to bully it." ”
"Well, Reimu, it seems like when we were in the Forest of Magic earlier, you smashed a cat that pounced on it with Yin-Yang Jade, and that cat had two tails. I didn't think she knew us, I thought she was just a normal cat, if I guessed correctly......"
"Well, Sakiya, you're still very upright. Reimu patted Sakiya on the shoulder and sighed in disappointment, "In this case, it's good not to admit it, anyway, no one will see it, as long as you don't admit it, Lan won't have a reason to come to the door." Now that you say that, there's no way to deny it. ”
The corners of Sakuya's mouth twitched, girl, hello acting, even she herself was deceived.
Not noticing Sakuya's expression, Reimu asked, "What about Blue?"
"Lord Lan has gone to mend the barrier of the underworld. Youmu replied.
"I see. Reimu knew in his heart, "Okay, Youmeng, it's none of your business here, go and watch Lan, what if she comes to make trouble?"
"Not so. For Reimu's slander, Youmeng retorted disdainfully and left sulking.
Seeing Youmu leave the atrium, Yuyuko said, "Let's start." ”
