Curtain XVII: The Underworld
The day of scarlet imagination, the white jade pavilion, these are the two major scenery above the head of Gensokyo. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Among them, the white jade building is located in the center of the underworld, which is a place for the soul to be happy forever and transcend to become a Buddha, during which the scenery is beautiful, making people linger, regardless of life or death.
And the lord of the White Jade Tower is the undead who is in charge of the soul here, the Youyouzi of the Xixing Temple.
It's also a friend of Yakumo Murasaki.
"Is this pavilion the White Jade Tower?"
Looking at the magnificent buildings on the side of the mountain, Yutong ten loves to be amazed, and they are not stingy with beautiful words.
"Exactly, the giant tree you can see is the pride of the Xixing Temple family, the Xixing Demon Ancient Tree."
The soul demon dream next to him proudly straightened his chest that was not very obvious, and his tone was full of pride.
This is a completely different feeling from her serious and rigorous attitude before.
Walking on the blue-black stone road, under the illumination of the human soul lamps standing on both sides of the road, Shi Ai and Bai Yulou Ting Master walked among the souls.
The human soul lamp is the guiding light of the ghost, guiding the soul who has nowhere to go to the White Jade Tower, and waiting for the settlement of the owner of the White Jade Tower.
Yutong Shiai stopped and watched the souls that were dying from time to time passing by his side and running towards the White Jade Tower, his face couldn't help but be moved.
"Miss Soul."
The soul demon dream stopped, and looked back at Yutong Shiai.
"Do you have any questions, Yutong-kun?"
Yutong Shiai nodded, looking at the souls who had gone forward and succeeded on the road that had been cleared by the human soul lamp.
"They...... What will happen? ”
The silver-haired half-human and half-spirit were stunned for a moment, and then knew who the other party was asking. She smiled, an expression peculiar to elementary school students who could memorize the answers they had been preparing for a long time.
"The souls of the dead in the outside world, who have obsessions and sins that are not enough to accept the judgment of hell and do not want to go to the other side, will come to the underworld, and after registering in the white jade building of the underworld, they will become residents of the underworld. Some of them will transcend and become Buddhas, some will be consumed by time little by little in the life of the underworld, and those who are too obsessed will be sent to the other side by Bai Yulou. ”
After saying that, Miss Soul breathed a long sigh of relief, crossed her hands on her hips, and smiled childishly again.
"That's it."
"Yes......"
Yutong Shiai, who was trying to accept such a setting, nodded reluctantly, feeling the souls around him rushing to it, revealing a little unclear meaning.
Repatriate to the other side......
He finally saw something clearly.
After all, the underworld is a place where souls are placed, either to calm down and live peacefully, and to be consumed by time little by little; Or, go to Baiyulou to find an errand. The deceased is gone, and it is best to let go of all the obsessions, concerns, and fetters of life. Otherwise, you can only be sent to the other side, reincarnated, not only forgetting everything, but also suffering from the six realms of reincarnation again.
This beautiful, quiet beauty is silent, cold and unforgiving. After all, it is a flower that blooms in the land of the underworld, the land of death.
The ghost can still retain the memories of his life, but if he is reluctant to hold on to the painful memories and do nothing for the rest of his life, he will be sent to the other side, and he will be poisoned by the flower of the other side, and he will forget everything.
The more reluctant you are to let go, the more you have to lose.
Whether it's the underworld or hell, it's such a cold and warm place, working hard for the smooth reincarnation.
"I've always wanted to ask, Miss Soul, your sword is aimed at the soul, right?"
Speaking of sending ghosts, Yutong Shiai couldn't help but think of the swordsman of the Soul Family, her two swords aimed at the soul.
Rather, it is precisely because it is the White Jade Pavilion Master, the swordsman of the underworld, and the half-human, half-spirit soul family, so it is said that the saber is a special sword with a strong effect on the soul?
"Hey, is Yutong-kun interested in the sword below?"
The soul demon dream seemed to be more and more happy, and happily untied the sword belt, showing the double swords in front of Yutong Shiai's eyes.
And Yutong Shiai was finally able to leisurely observe these two famous knives.
The long knife is called Louguan Sword, nearly one meter five long, not a length that humans can control arbitrarily, and it is better than the Ye Tai Knife, and it is almost as tall as a girl when it stands up, I really don't know how the soul demon dream dances the sword handily. The blade is narrow and curved, and it is determined that it is a sharp and rapid slashing knife, and the power of a single cut should not be underestimated. The handle of the knife is decorated with white velvet thread, while the scabbard is wrapped around two red and white rune papers and decorated with an autumn cherry blossom. This made Yutong Shiai laugh softly, and felt that a murderous weapon would immediately become cute.
The short knife is called the Bailou Sword, which is only more than half a meter long, but considering that it is used with the Louguan Sword, the difference in length is too large and people don't know how to use it. This sword is slightly wider than Louguan, and the back of the knife can be seen slightly thicker, it is indeed the sword position of the main defense, but looking at the clear brilliance, Yutong Shiai is not sure whether it has the same slashing strength as the Louguan sword.
"The view of the long sword building, the short sword and the white building, are all treasures passed down from generation to generation by my soul family, and they are only danced for the Xixing temple family."
The face of the soul demon dream showed pride, as if he was praising the westward demon.
"The long sword Louguan, with a single blow of the sword, can kill and injure ten ghosts, and the short sword Bailou can cut off people's souls and confusion, let people let go of their obsessions, and become Buddhas on the ground."
…… And so it was.
Yutong Shiai's eyes changed when he looked at the soul demon dream.
This deliberately serious, overly serious little court master is the executor of the underworld.
A girl who bears the heavy responsibility of cutting off the soul of obsession in the past and present lives.。
No matter how persistent you are, no matter how hard you are, all your obsessions, all your self-meaning, will come to naught under your own sword of white mansions.
This is an absolute negation of the beheaded soul and the mental torture of the executor. And the executor in front of him is just a girl.
Seriously and desperately trying to be a qualified Baiyulou court master, but still has her own childishness and impulsiveness of ordinary girls.
Yutong Shiai doesn't believe that she is a person who has experienced ups and downs, has a stoic heart, and can deny other people's lives without worry.
That would be tantamount to murder, and unreasonably indiscriminate.
“…… Tired, right? ”
Yutong Shiai felt compelled to speak.
His gaze shifted from the knife to the stunned girl.
"Soul Demon Dream, it's very tiring, let the stubborn soul become a Buddha, and let the unruly soul die."
He stepped forward, raised his hand, and placed it on the petite girl's head, his eyes meeting the slightly fluttering pupils.
The deep blue abyss was already stormy, and gentle blue waves were accumulating in the corners of his eyes.
After all, she's just an ordinary girl.
"Rain...... Yutong-kun ......"
"If you can, just call me Ten Love."
The joy in the eyes of the silver-haired girl flashed, and then turned into a resolute smile that had never been seen before.
"Then, Ten Ai-kun."
Serious, serious, confident, restrained, tolerant.
This is what today's soul demon dream shows.
"It's a little unbearable, but this is grandpa's inheritance, and it's the responsibility that my soul clan must bear."
It's not a prayer for mercy, it's not delicate, the smile of the girl who is the master of the white jade building is still unwavering.
Yutong Shiai felt that he was a little worried.
Since we have taken on this responsibility, how can we not have the corresponding awareness? In comparison, he blindly thinks that the other party is just a girl, belittles the other party's consciousness, and is doing ridiculous things by himself.
I haven't experienced the same, or more naked things, but I am taking pity on each other, comforting each other, and even winning each other's smiles and kindness because of this......
Is...... Awful.
"Sorry......"
Softly apologetic, he withdrew his hand guiltily, brushed the shoulder of the soul demon dream, and hurried to Bai Yulou in a little hurry.
If you look at that responsible smile again, you will die of shame.
Feeling the pace of the girl behind her, Yutong Shiai showed a wry smile, so she let her pace speed up again, trying not to let the expression on her face be seen by the girl behind her.
People who have endured the reincarnation of the soul are carrying things that they are self-righteous without thinking about it.
In this way, Yutong Shiai didn't dare to speak, and the soul demon dream didn't know what the reason was, and he didn't speak, but slowed down the pace of catching up and hung behind Yutong Shiai unhurriedly.
Yutong Shiai sighed silently.
