Days passed like this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Today, the girl also came to the ruined temple with a bucket as usual.

After changing the bandages of Lord Enma, they began to make small talk again.

Normally, Lord Enma would have told him about what he had seen during his travels, or he would have continued to tell the story of the distant and mysterious boy.

And today, Lord Enma suddenly asked her, "Do you have any thoughts after listening to the story for so long?"

Idea?

The girl was stunned, as if she didn't expect Lord Enma to ask her this question.

If you look at this story from your perspective, you must have a different feeling, right?

The girl scratched her head and looked dazed: she didn't understand it at all.

Lord Enma looked at the girl for a long time. The girl was a little hairy by those golden eyes, and racked her brains to hold back a sentence: Very handsome! Traveling alone, killing demons all the way.

……

After receiving the answer, Lord Enma suddenly stopped talking.

The girl learned its tone and asked curiously, "Lord Enma, what do you think of this young man?"

After a long period of time, what would this Enma, who had a wealth of experience, say about this young man?

After a period of time together, the girl had long discovered that the existence in front of her possessed awesome abilities.

It is able to see things as they are at a glance and explain them all with their own unique insights. This is what humans call the realm of unconfusion, and only a truly wise person can reach such a state.

Surprisingly, Lord Enma didn't answer her question directly.

It seemed to be remembering something, muttering to itself.

I used to be ignorant.

The words carry endless vicissitudes, as if they have returned after a hundred years.

He was also full of enthusiasm and ambition.

The yellow sand was blown away, and the ancient memories were quietly picked up.

It began to recall the weak, unyielding shadow that could roar at any time.

An illusory shadow of the past.

Fought too.

Wounded.

NDE.

Hopeless.

Then, the weak shadow disappeared, leaving only the strong one.

It paused, as if remembering something.

Then it said slowly: Then, I walked hard in this world for nearly a hundred years. Read the endless things in the dust.

I have seen someone crying, I have seen the ugliness of people's hearts, and I have felt kindness.

Heart-rending howls, tears of joy after reunion.

Anger, sorrow, joy, jealousy.

At first, I didn't know the difference.

Helping others is not necessarily grateful, but rather an endless curse.

Victory does not mean the end, the killing is followed by more killing.

I was deceived. The weird man laughed at himself: The funny thing is, I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

Yes, disappointed.

So I started to think, I started to think about the feelings between my heart and my heart. I want to figure out how it all relates to each other.

But the more I thought about it, the more questions kept popping up.

What is Human?

What is a Demon?

What is the human heart?

Is there really a difference between humans and demons?

It can't be understood.

I began to observe and try to find answers in everything I saw.

Lord Enma let out a sigh, and in that meaningful sigh was a heaviness that humans could not bear.

For this, I sacrificed almost everything.

Alone on a path full of suffering and thorns, with a blade in hand.

A story of the life of a man who lives in a different world with many humans and monsters.

Neither love nor be loved by others.

Carrying it alone, it doesn't stop moving forward.

Countless seasons have passed.

Traveled through a long time.

So, do you finally get the answer?

At this moment, in the girl's heart, there is only awe and worship left.

It's a long story that makes her forget about the original problem.

……

Eventually, the answer was obtained.

Bitter answer.

There is no difference between humans and demons.

Hatred, love, sorrow, suffering, all these demons also possess.

Even more terrifying than demons is the human heart.

The human heart can turn humans into demons, or they can make demons more vulnerable than humans.

The world is impermanent, and after abandoning everything, all that is left is this answer.

The demon slayer who raised the sword and fought the evil spirits was denied.

The meaning of existence is obliterated.

After pursuing the results of a lifetime, it was only in the end that I found that it was meaningless. When I stopped, I realized that there was no one around me.

How ridiculous.

The world gave it the cruelest and took everything from it.

Speechless.

How could it be...... Why is this the case......

The truth was too heavy for the girl to accept, and she kept shaking her head and denying: No! Enma-sama, you've done so many things, is this the only thing you get!?

You see, the world has never been fair. Lord Enma said, thoughtfully: If there is anyone who is the biggest demon, it can only be this world.

This is the world of demons.

The anonymous named Nine Empty Smoke said: If I were to answer your question again, I think I already knew what to say.

The boy was so stupid that he gave up the rights he was born to be human. However, it is not for nothing.

From fear of suffering, to fear of suffering, to finally understanding suffering, sublimating enlightenment.

This teenager is no longer a stunned young man who doesn't know anything.

Even if you are feared or forgotten, you can

There will be things that will never be forgotten.

Because, as long as he looks back, he can find that the footprints along the way have unconsciously spread for a long time.

He should have discovered the scene behind it, and every footprint condensed his sweat.

The traces of his actions have long been deeply engraved on the ground.

The sonorous and powerful words of enlightenment without confusion are the positive results of the ascetic who has lost them in the world.

Fully enlightened, it is free from confusion and doubt.

If you fall, you get up, and if you fall again, you get up again. until you can't climb.

A challenger with great courage, that's what I say about that teenager.

Lord Enma smiled, and the faded smile of innocence gave the girl the illusion that it was like a child.

I don't quite understand what Lord Enma said.

The girl's heart was a little heavy, and she could not understand this self-inflicted misery.

Lord Enma also understands this: this kind of thing is still too far away for you, and you don't need to take it to heart at all. It's right to listen to an old man whining.

Old, old man? Lord Enma is much more handsome than the old man!

Hahaha! Even if you praise me, I won't be happy!

Bursts of happy laughter echoed through the woods for a long time from inside the ruined temple......

The heaviness of the world is so heavy that your eyes know nothing.

May you gain the courage to defy the night.

And then one day-

Hold eternity in the palm of your hand.

This is its wonderful monster adventure.
