Prologue to Volume II
A shrine in Hokkaido, Japan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unlike other snow-covered scenes, the area around the shrine is a scene of early spring, and it's hard to imagine that Hokkaido, where spring has not yet arrived, is in full bloom.
The scene of early spring is very beautiful, the warm spring breeze blows on the faces of visitors, the cherry blossom trees are lined up on both sides of the road below the mountain, and the cherry blossoms are turning and falling to the ground, white and red, are very beautiful.
The long staircase is lined with green pines and cypresses, and soft pine needles creak underfoot.
The wooden mountain gate is on the mountainside, the black wood seems to be old, and the wind blows and babbles, and the three pieces of wood that are randomly put together are not well aligned.
......Early in the morning, a tall man in a white robe was knocking on the mountain gate.
He was agile, his long hair fell to his waist, and he held a piece of black wood that was neither gold nor iron, and he was knocking on it while muttering something strange about unscrupulous Tianzun and the like, and many people passed by him and whispered.
"Mom, what do you think that person is doing?" A little child asked, pulling his mother, the white kimono on her body beautiful.
"Since a long time ago, there have been a lot of people knocking here every day, often staying here for more than half a day, and they don't know what they are looking for, and adults are used to calling them mountain visitors." The Japanese mother, wearing light makeup, bent down slightly, lowered her eyebrows and explained to the child.
"Look, didn't he leave and go." The woman saw the man turn around and go down the mountain, disappearing at the turn, "Kenjiro, let's go, let's go up the mountain and pray for blessings." ”
The Japanese mother pulled her hand and found her son staring at the top of the stairs.
"Gone."
"Mom, I saw that uncle smile at me." Kenjiro said with an innocent face, "But why did the uncle disappear all of a sudden after crossing the mountain gate?" ”
The Japanese mother was startled, pulled the child tight, and said, "Kenjiro, what the hell are you doing again?" Let's go up there and wash our eyes with spring water, the shrine maiden said before that your eyes need to be wiped every day......"
"Yuxu Palace Dao Xun is here to visit!" The tall man in a white robe stood at the gate of another mountain and shouted at this moment, the mountain is still the same mountain, but the place is different.
The cherry blossom-covered road has been replaced by snow, the pine trees are still the same, but the verdant color has become a little black under the gloomy sky, and the clear bellflower pattern at the mountain gate is still the same.
Dao Xun's eyes were like lightning, his eyes were terrifying, and the talisman in his hand was shining.
"If no one answers, Dojo will break in on his own." The distant mountains are empty, and the sound reverberates, clear and clear.
"Hmph." Dao Xun snorted coldly, raised his right hand slightly, and a talisman floated towards the mountain gate, "Break it for me!" ”
The astonishing energy emitted huge fluctuations in the air, and the seemingly inconspicuous dilapidated mountain gate was as white as jade at this time, glowing throughout, and the complex and mysterious runes actually formed a powerful defensive rune on a few pieces of wood that seemed to be randomly put together at the mountain gate!
However, Dao Xun squinted slightly, and his body did not move at all.
An earth-shattering talisman, this mountain gate is the magic absorbed from this stretching mountain range, this long-inherited luck, but such a talisman does not fall behind in the slightest under the defensive rune of the huge energy of this owner.
"Mr. Dao, please calm your anger." A voice was heard in midair.
The mountain gate opened, and the runes that competed with the talisman disappeared, and the glowing rune naturally dissipated.
Two and a half large boys walked out of the mountain gate, their faces red and their teeth white.
"Sir, please come in."
Dao Xun smiled lightly and said calmly: "Is your family master sleeping, and he wants to keep out the people who are looking for him with such a mountain sealing spell?" ”
"Mr. said with a smile, how many people can break the mountain sealing spell that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Tuyumen family? What's more, there is a magic circle arranged by Lord Qingming in front of the mountain gate. The boy said with a smile.
It is a very traditional building, just like the old houses that can be found everywhere in Japan, with some cherry blossom trees planted next to the black and white houses.
Snow is laid on the ground, and a small bridge leads to the room through a mountain spring.
The boy stopped in front of the small bridge, bent down and said, "Sir, keep walking, the master of the house will be waiting for you in front." ”
Dao Xun's wide robe blew in the mountain wind, "Your family master still has this habit, how boring it is to be cold and lonely." ”
No one answered, and Dao Xun didn't mean to stay, so he walked straight in.
A table has a tea set, blue and white simple outline tea set, the same style as the room, cold and deserted like a fairy cave, two ancient books on the ground.
The tea was freshly brewed and white mist.
"Well, the taste of aged tea and last year's snow water." Dao Xun sniffed it and told the origin of the tea.
"I'm tired, and the people of the Earth Gate will also float."
Doxun sat cross-legged and took a sip of his teacup, "Some like the beautiful dancers you and I met in Hokkaido, a mix of old and new. "My eyes were bright in the mist of tea.
"How can anyone not have a floating heart?" There seemed to be a pair of hands in the void opposite that raised the teacup, and then drank a little lightly.
Dao Xun raised his eyebrows: "I thought that the Tuyumen family was the same as you, and it was boring to die." ”
The other party seemed to be choked by this sentence and didn't answer for a long time.
After a while, he said leisurely, "Dao Xun, you haven't changed at all, it's still the same as when you first met you." ”
"You remember the first time you met, it was the time of the Meiji Restoration, and you were still with that person at that time." Dao Xun took another sip of tea, "At the beginning, we were all young hairy boys, but now, hehe, we have all become this dead picture." ”
"The people in your family probably think you're dead." Dao Xun suddenly changed the subject.
"What if you don't die? You and I won't go out anyway. The man in the void said coldly, "It's you, why did you suddenly think of coming to me, forgetting that I don't welcome you here?" ”
"Let it pass." Dao Xun smiled, took a big sip of tea, and drank the tea directly, "It's been so long, just let it pass." ”
"In the past?" The people in the void obviously didn't have this intention, the energy breath was violent, and the tea spewed out of the teapot against gravity, and then condensed in the air, "You gave me a heavy blow at the beginning, and I just missed the war after lying down for decades." ”
"I also want to see what kind of amazing means that Dao Xun Zhenren who is known to the world is."
