[Really?] ]

[Well, it's a puppy to deceive people~]

[Said yes~]

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Thinking about it, the tea brewed in Ye Zi's hand spilled out slightly, corroding the table into a few holes, and the tea that had fallen to the floor was deeply embedded in the ground.

Gently caressing the ground that had been corroded out of the small hole, the leaf smiled.

[This is ...... You can kill him. 】

Use all the demonic power as a medium to condense all the resentment in this small teacup.

Now, this cup of tea can even poison the leaves themselves.

It's a pity that I won't be able to see his face later, because maybe there won't even be the man's body left.

[Anyway, my secret has been revealed.] 】

Overdrawn demonic power, the bloodless leaf on the face, carefully placed the tea on the tray.

Pushing open the door, a sickly smile flashed across Yezi's face.

[Sorry, dear guest. 】

The pale palm rested on the door of another room.

Ye smiled, leaving tears in his eyes.

[Die.] 】

"Gaga......

The door was gently pushed open by the leaves, making a frightening sound.

To Ye's surprise, the room was pitch black, and a lone oil lamp was stubbornly illuminating a place.

In the dim light, the black figure was constantly writing.

Ye Zi walked over gently, afraid of disturbing the concentration of the Nine Sky Smoke.

"Disturbed ......"

Jiukong didn't look back, just kept writing.

"Well, I'll put the tea here." Ye Zi gently put down the tea and sat down opposite the Nine Empty Smoke.

After getting closer, through the dim light, Ye Zi could see clearly what Jiukong Smoke was doing.

With a brush, he carefully traced the traces on the pieces of paper, and even during the day, he wasted time on them.

As for what these pieces of paper with patterns were, Ye probably guessed.

Once, Ye Zi's mother once asked Ye Zi for a "good match" charm.

"My lord, are you drawing a charm?" Ye Zi asked towards the Nine Skies.

“…… Don't call me an adult. Jiukong Xun was still sketching on the piece of paper, without glancing at the leaves.

The speed of Jiukong Xun's sketch slowed down slightly: "I bought you for the money, and the money it cost to open this room." It's all my property, in other words, I'm penniless now. ”

"Your Excellency is really rich, so your adult is a high-ranking official and nobleman? Actually spending so much money on a dirty geisha. Ye Zi gently covered his mouth and smiled.

"I'm not a high-ranking official, I'm not an aristocrat." Jiukong paused: "I'm a ronin, a penniless ronin." The money that was given to you before was all robbed. ”

[From the hands of youkai.] Jiukong Xun silently added in his heart.

"That's pretty surprising." Ye Zi didn't care much about Jiukong Xun's words: "After all, my lord, you spent money, and I am now your 'item'." ”

"Then don't bother me with drawing."

After speaking, Jiukong Xun lowered his head and continued to sketch one spell after another.

Since becoming a monster to today, it is the first time that Ye Zi has met such a stuffy person, and he has cooled down before he can say half a sentence.

However, no matter how boring a person is, it has nothing to do with the leaves, and he will die sooner or later anyway.

"The lowly girl has one last question." Ye Zi leaned over towards the Nine Skies and pleaded.

"Say."

"The charm drawn on the adult's hand, the humble girl is very curious." Ye Zi's eyes darkened slightly under the darkness: "Can you tell me, what kind of spell is this?" ”

"Confessional talisman." Jiukong Xun still recounted without a trace of emotion: "Guangdao Heavenly Great Xuanzun couldn't bear it when he saw the souls of the deceased suffering in the underworld. Thus set up this spell that can cross the soul. ”

"So, your lordship is praying for the dead?" However, for Jiukong Xun's words, Ye Zi felt unusually hypocritical.

Ye Zi slowed down and smiled lightly at Jiukong Xun: "However, according to the humble girl's opinion, the adult is full of murderous energy." After killing so many lives, is it too late for you to confess your soul now, my lord? ”

Nine Void Smoke stops drawing talismans.

Ye Zi sat in place, smiling hypocritically.

After a long time, Jiukong Xun spoke again.

"Huh...... It's really a 'knowledgeable' geisha. Nine Sky Smoke muttered to himself as if mocking.

After speaking, Jiukong Xun put down the pen and looked at the leaf head-on for the first time.

"Do you believe in your fate?" The narrow eye painting of the ghost mask matched the dark eyes of the leaf.

"Life?" Ye Zi laughed at himself: "Being insulted by others, here is reduced to a geisha for others to enjoy." If this is fate, I really don't want to believe it. ”

After hearing Ye Zi's answer, Jiukong Xun didn't make a sound.

Seeing that Jiukong Xun didn't respond, Ye Zi continued to laugh and said, "What about believing? What if you don't believe it? I'm like that now, and that's my life. ”

"On the contrary, my lord, do you still believe in those things?" Ye Zi's eyes were completely drenched in black, and he asked rhetorically towards Jiukong Xun with a smile on his face.

Jiukong Xun was silent for a while, grabbed a talisman and said nothing.

"In today's troubled times, who can protect themselves." Jiukong Xun looked down at the charm, as if he was saying it to himself, and it was like saying it to Ye Zi.

"What can be seen, what can't be seen. His men were all stained with blood to a greater or lesser extent. "The pinched rune paper blew in the wind, and the dim light kept flickering.

Jiukong Xun raised his head and looked at the leaves: "Yes, I have killed people." Robbers, robbers, evil officials, traitors, villains, I have killed them all. ”

"Even what you said, the six men. I want to kill too. ”

"But I'm not going to repent of killing as many people as I want, I won't go now, I never will. If you want to repent, you shouldn't have done it in the first place. ”

"Kill, seek, kill, seek."

Jiukong Xun looked at Ye Zi, pointed to the golden pupil of the ghost under the mask and said emotionlessly: "The irony is that after killing so many people, I have obtained the pupil that can see through the vanity, see through the evil, and see through the heart. Because I see everything filthy, I hide it under a mask so that I can see less even if I look at it. ”

Ye Zi asked about Jiukong Xun's words: "So, why did you, who have no intention of repentance at all, draw so many confessional talismans?" Actually, it's not necessary at all. ”

"It's necessary, because it's not for me. I don't need any charms. Jiukong Xun looked at the leaves and said very seriously: "To the victims of the recent murder here." ”

A large number of stacked charms on the table were blown up by the cold night wind, and the flying charms continued to flutter in the dimly lit room.

"Your Excellency is so kind." A piece of rune paper fell on the head of the leaf, but the leaf ignored it and smiled and complimented the nine airs.

"You want to talk about hypocrisy. I could still recognize this even with my eyes closed. Jiukong Xun gently patted the rune paper off the head of the leaf.

"Those who died...... To be honest, they all deserve to be killed. All are heinous. ”

Jiukong Xun looked out the window, and a few pieces of rune paper had already floated out.

"If I meet them, I'll kill them too."

"I don't understand." Ye Zi leaned over again and begged at Jiukong Xun, "Please tell me why you want to confess your soul for the wicked." ”

"Because they should be beheaded, they should confess their souls. In this day and age, anyone is guilty. However, until the next life of reincarnation, even if the king of Yama is to judge, a blank sheet of paper soul should be completely innocent. Jiukong Xun's voice still didn't have any emotion: "I don't want wicked people to be bound by the 'karma' of their previous lives, no one is born evil, and no one wants to be evil. In the end, it's the fault of this troubled world. ”

"My lord, I have to remind you......" Ye Zi got up and bowed to Jiukong Xun again: "If you look at it from the eyes of a normal person, you are also a heinous sinner......

"I've been enlightened. I'm being killed by the demons right now. It was still an emotionless word, but the leaves heard something else.

"Hell, Naraku, where can't I go? If I say it, maybe it's my sense of responsibility that drives me to do everything I do, and that's probably my life......"

"Even so, my lord. You're alone, and even your best efforts are in vain. ”

"My personal ability is limited, and it is impossible to destroy all the evil people in the world, and it is impossible to save all the poor people in the world. I'm just a ronin, and even a god can't do it. Jiukong Xun said word by word, looked into Ye Zi's eyes and said, "Therefore, the scope of the implementation of the principles I implement is within the scope of what my eyes can see." ”

After saying all this, Jiukong Xun smiled. This was the first time Ye Zi had heard the laughter of the man in front of him.

"I'm a ronin, I'm a samurai, I'm not a saint, I'm not a savior, I'm just a no-brainer. A reckless man without ambition. ”

"But ......"

Next, Ye Zi heard the man and shouted loudly at Ye Zi in the most proud tone.

"I am, the ghost of the demon slayer! The karma you see, the evil you see, all you see! ”

For the first time, the leaves felt what was a brilliant soul and what was extremely colorful.

After the man in front of him said this, something was gently touched in the depths of the leaf's blackened heart.

"So, sir." Do the wicked have no choice but to die when they meet you? And then be confessed by a piece of rune paper? Ye Zi continued to ask Jiukong Xun.

Jiukong Xun thought for a while and replied: "If it was before, I wouldn't even bother to draw the talisman confession soul." ”

"But after that incident...... I realized. If it's a truly repentant person, I'll give it a chance when I'm in a good mood. Jiukong Xun said and suddenly smiled: "It's a pity that there are basically no such guys." So along the way, all the guys who got in the way were cut in two. ”

[Repentance...... Can I still repent? Ye Zi kept thinking about it, and Jiukong Xun suddenly grabbed her hands.

Ye Zi, who was grabbed by Leng Buding's hands, subconsciously exclaimed, and then looked at Jiukong Xun vigilantly.

"The amount of rune paper is still a little insufficient, you can also help." Jiukong Xun picked up the pen and put it on the leaf's hand, and guided it with the hand that grabbed the leaf: "See clearly, I'll only draw once." ”

"Huh? It's ......"

Ye Zi calmed down and quietly followed the guidance of Jiukong Xun's big hand to draw traces on the paper.

Only now do I feel that Jiukong Xun's hand seems to be colder than the hand of Ye Zi, who is Mao Ji.

It was bitterly cold, but the leaves felt strangely relieved.

A confessional talisman took Ye Zi and Jiukong Smoke for a long time, and only then did Ye Zi realize how difficult it was to draw a talisman paper.

Looking down at the rune paper scattered all over the place, the leaves were thoughtful.

"Don't be stunned, sit down and help." Jiukong Xun took another pen from the side and began to write again.

After Ye Zi reacted, his face turned slightly red. With mixed emotions, Ye Zi lowered his head and began to draw the rune paper silently.

Under the dim oil lamp, two figures sat who were constantly writing.

Even Ye Zi herself couldn't have imagined that she, who originally had the determination to kill the person in front of her, actually sat down with him to draw a confession talisman for the person killed by Ye Zi.

But such a feeling......

Isn't it bad......

The smiling mask that Ye Zi had been wearing was finally removed, and it was replaced by the original her.

It's not Mao Ji, she's a human being.

The unfinished rune paper was wet with a tear.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Since the rune paper has been scattered all over the ground, the two of them simply threw the new rune paper directly to the ground.

After the rune paper had almost covered the floor of the entire room, Jiukong Xun said to Ye Zi, "Okay, it's almost enough." ”

"Is that enough......?" Ye Zi lowered his head and hid his expression through the shadow of his bangs.

The girl with her head down, hiding her crying face full of tears.

"Next, we need to draw the last one." Jiukong smoked the largest piece of white paper and began to sketch it intently.

This large talisman took longer than before, and judging by the intricate patterns and text, this talisman was unique.

When it was finished, Jiukong Xun seemed to be showing off something, holding up the charm and saying to the leaf with his head down: "Yezi, look." ”

"Huh......? This is? Ye Zi hurriedly wiped the tears from his face, and looked at the charm on Jiukong Xun's hand in surprise with slightly red eyes.

"This is for the murderer, extra drawn." Although there was still no emotion in Jiukong Xun's words, it made Ye Zi freeze.

"I can feel it...... I could feel her pain......" Jiukong Xun looked at the charm and sighed.

"In the end, even the murderer was not caught. I can't do anything but draw a spell and hope that the irascible soul will calm down......"

The rune paper on the ground was constantly wet with falling tears.

"Ping...... Calm down......" Hazi muttered in a voice that only she could hear.

"What?"

"Nothing." Ye Zi wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve and smiled at Jiukong Xun.

This smile is like a spring breeze.

"Don't keep crying, it's not okay to keep crying." After thinking for a while, Jiukong Xun held his chin and said solemnly to Yezi: "That's it, since I can't find the murderer, then I don't need to waste time." Now I'm going to get out of here. ”

As if he knew something, Ye Zi raised his head and looked at Jiukong Xun in dismay.

"I'll give you a chance to decide your own 'life' this time." Jiukong Xun looked at Ye Zi's face very seriously and said, "You are free, completely free." ”

Patting the frozen Ye Zi on the shoulder, Jiukong Xun got up and said goodbye to the leaf: "I'm really sorry to bother me for so long...... That's right. ”

Jiukong Xun picked up the cup of tea that the leaves placed on the table: "The tea is cold, I'm really sorry." ”

"Wait!" Looking at Jiukong Xun and picking up the tea, a spirit of the leaves rushed towards Jiukong Xun.

"How ......"

The tea in Jiukong Xun's hand was snatched away by the leaves, and the leaves immediately drank the tea with his head up.

"Leaf, you ......"

"I'm sorry, sir." Yezi's eyes were obscured by the shadow of the bangs: "I'm not human, I'm a monster." I'm Mao Ji. ”

"I killed the most recent people, and I did everything. Even the cup of tea I brought in just now can poison myself...... I used to want to kill adults. ”

As he spoke, Ye Zi silently closed his eyes: "Goodbye, my lord...... It was clear to me that there was no way I could get any salvation...... Even if you repent...... Huh? ”

The head of the leaf is covered by a large hand.

"Don't talk to yourself, girl, don't you think your 'tea' tastes weird?" Jiukong Xun kept rubbing the head of the leaves, laughing and rubbing the girl's long black hair.

Ye's expression froze.

It's not the taste of tea, it's ......

Wine.

"How? I've said that my wine tastes better than yours, so now I feel good if I taste it myself. Jiukong Xun patted Ye Zi's shoulder and laughed arrogantly.

"You knew I was a youkai from the beginning?" Ye Zi suddenly reacted, Jiukong Xun had just said that his eyes could see through his heart......

Jiukong Xun snorted and ignored the girl's words: "Hahaha, don't care about the details!" Aren't you genuinely repentant now? ”

"Impossible, there's no going back." Ye Zi kept shaking his head, and denied to Jiukong Xun: "I'm a monster now, and I've killed so many people. ...... impossible to be saved? ”

Jiukong Xun pasted the big talisman he had just drawn on the head of the leaf.

"Hold it, this one is a real guy." The golden pupils under the mask of the Nine Voids kept flickering: "Since this is the case, then don't be a monster anymore, this talisman can make your resentment disappear and make you turn into an extremely happy person in your next life." ”

A blue light illuminated the entire tavern, and the night was dispelled by a dazzling pale light.

The spell with an extremely flashing blue light was constantly purifying the leaves, and the shape of the leaves was constantly becoming illusory.

But instead of struggling, Ye Zi nodded towards the Nine Sky Smoke.

Nine Sky Smoke stood silently in place, watching the leaves fade away in the aura.

"What...... This girl. Nine Sky Smoke smiled.

Mao Ji, who was in tears at the last moment, smiled and made two lip shapes towards Jiukong.

{Tse-Tse}

"I really can't help it, I've done boring things again." Carrying the black knife, Jiukong Xun pushed open the door of the tavern.

However, the corners of his mouth that were hooked under the mask revealed his mood.

"Perhaps, it's not bad to do something boring like this once in a while." Jiukong Xun looked at the moon and laughed.

So, where do you go next?

This is a small episode in the journey of the ghost man.

Humming a minor tune, the black-robed man disappeared into the darkness again.
