2 Encounter in the World Chapter 291 Under the Cherry Blossoms
March is the season of cherry blossoms, and in the far east of the Chinese country, there is a small island country called Dongying, which is the country with the most vigorous cherry blossoms in this huge world.
Whenever it is the warm season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the streets of the small country will be full of red and pink colors, colorful and gorgeous.
However, in the city of Dongying, there is a legend that every cherry tree is buried under the corpse of a person, and the more corpses are buried, the more gorgeous the flowers of this cherry tree will be.
This year, the cherry blossoms here are in full bloom, and they are so beautiful that people feel a little tired of it.
Different from the land, in the dark deep sea, there are countless strange fish running towards the shore at great speed, obviously not land life, but with thick limbs, they swallow a strange black smoke, all the life near it, all turned into blood and melted into the sea.
When these strange fish swim away into the shallow water, they are blocked by an extremely dark layer of twisted crystals, making it impossible for them to get close.
"Boom!"
When the fish converge to a certain level, there will be a strange blazing flame outside the crystalline layer, which will instantly turn them to ashes.
Above the sky of the island country, there were several figures standing, and they looked down below, beyond a huge barrier, there were countless magic arrays flickering.
"Mr. Chenming is still okay?"
At the head of the group was a handsome young man with eight white wings, and at this moment there was a trace of anxiety and doubt on his face, "Will he really be so kind and come to help us?
The angels behind them were also skeptical, it was clear that they did not trust the demon below who had come to help them, and would sincerely help them.
"Phew!"
Suddenly, the sea surface of the shallow sea area boiled, and endless black smoke rose from the sea surface and rushed to the land.
"Not good!"
The eight-winged angel at the head vibrated its wings and flew towards the black smoke, and three huge magic arrays opened, shining brilliant light towards the black smoke.
However, this seemingly extremely sacred light magic did not play a role, but instead seemed to be used as nourishment by black smoke, directly devouring it completely, and flew towards the land even more rapidly.
"Dark magic, forbidden pupils!"
While those angels were panicking, in the distant sky, a handsome man in a deacon's robe appeared, he walked over like a leisurely walk, and on his head, a huge pupil that seemed to be real gurgled and turned, and there was a terrifying magic beam in the pupil, which instantly suppressed the black qi coming from all directions.
After doing this, the young deacon took another step and came to the angel in an instant, and the cold breath made the latter's heart quietly slow down by half a beat, "Whether the young master can do it or not is not something you are qualified to suspect! Being able to come and help you angels is already a great gift to you, let me hear the question, annihilation will not destroy you, I will destroy!"
"You!"
The extremely domineering words made this eighth-order angel who was obviously the leader extremely angry, but he didn't dare to be too arrogant, he knew the horror of the demon in front of him.
"Natsumi, stop arguing. ”
Below, the young man's weak voice was heard, "Open the defensive barrier, we're going to begin." ”
"Yes, young master. ”
Xia Mi saluted slightly, then closed his eyes, and the huge scarlet magic array behind him exuded terrifying fluctuations, turning into layers of aura, enveloping all the islands hundreds of thousands of kilometers below.
Seeing this scene, the angels were all terrified, from the moment the young man launched the enchantment just now, they felt a magic force that was enough to crush them, emanating from the former's body, if he launched an offensive magic, they didn't even have to suspect it, and the land below would probably disappear from the map of the human world in an instant.
The uncrowned king is comparable to the existence of the demon king, such a terrifying collection of magic power is even more terrifying than the strategic weapons of the world.
When the enchantment opened, the sky was dimmed for a moment before it regained its clarity, and Xia Mi, who had arranged the enchantment, respectfully said to another young man standing on the sea below, "Young master, the enchantment has been laid down, and you can release the indestructible substance." ”
"Hmm. ”
The young man nodded, a glint in his eyes, and there was a scarlet thunderbolt around him, flickering with the rise of white mist.
The moment his hand touched the enchantment, a strange energy appeared in everyone's perception, and the black smoke that was sealed around it was violently violent, as if he was extremely afraid of the energy released by the youth.
"Buzz ......"
A strange humming sound sounded, and that thin stream of energy instantly filled the enchantment, turning into a thin crystalline layer, isolating all annihilation matter from the outside.
"Hoo ......"
The immortal enchantment was successfully arranged, and the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and the moment he withdrew his palm, the extreme dizziness made him almost fall unsteadily to the sea, and Xia Mi was quick and came to his side to support him.
"Young master, it's been a hard work. ”
Glancing at the angels who also landed, Xia Mi's eyes burst with murderous intent, "These stupid angels!"
"Forget it, they're already hostile to us, and it's a great step forward to be able to trust us. ”
Chen Ming shook his head, slowly saluted the approaching angel, and said, "Captain Kahler, thank you for sniping the approaching Beast of the End for us just now. ”
"Where the words. ”
The eight-winged angel led by him turned red, obviously hearing the conversation between Chen Ming and Xia Mi, and said with some embarrassment, "It seems that His Majesty Tirestine's vision is indeed good, and I apologize to Mr. for our questioning just now." ”
"It's fine. ”
Chen Ming smiled slightly and said, "In order to ensure the stability of the enchantment, I will stay in this country for two days, and I hope the head of the regiment will not mind." ”
"Of course I wouldn't mind. ”
Calle smiled, "Sir has helped us a lot, and I thank you that it is too late for me to arrange a place for you to live." ”
"We've found a place to stay. ”
Chen Ming reluctantly stood up and said, "I will pay close attention to the changes in the enchantment in the past two days, as for the beast of the end, it will still be handed over to you angels to be responsible for solving it, please be sure not to let the beast of the end come into contact with the enchantment!"
"His Majesty Tirestin has spoken to us about these matters. ”
Calle nodded and said, "Please rest assured, sir, as long as we live for one day, we won't let this enchantment have any problems." ”
"Good. ”
Chen Ming smiled slightly, and then said, "Now that the matter is done, we won't stay any longer, goodbye, Captain Kahler." ”
"Goodbye. ”
With the flickering of the magic array, the figures of Chen Ming and Xia Mi disappeared into the sea, and Calle watched them leave.
"This Mr. Demon is a little interesting......
It wasn't until the light completely dissipated that Kahler withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly, and muttered, "There are no eggs under the nest, should we consider His Majesty Tirestin's proposal?"
......
The capital of Dongying Kingdom is an ancient city located in the eastern part of the island country, where there are many ancient houses and ancient buildings, revealing a sense of historical vicissitudes.
Like the rest of the country, cherry blossoms bloom like pink snow in March.
In front of an old house, a girl in a white dress was sitting on the steps, looking at the dense cherry blossoms in the distance, but no other colors were reflected in the scarlet pupils.
At a certain moment, the girl suddenly came back to her senses, looked under a tree not far away, and suddenly two young men appeared, she trotted over, threw herself into the arms of the young man standing in front, her eyes reflected his face, and said softly, "You are back." ”
The youth replied, "Well, it's back." ”
Beside the two of them, the deacon said, "Young Master Chenming, Lord Shaqiluo, if there is nothing wrong, the subordinates will go back first?"
Chen Ming nodded and said, "I've worked hard for you today, go back and rest." ”
Natsumi shook her head slightly and walked towards the house.
There were only two people left, and Chen Ming touched Shaqiluo's hair dotingly, and said, "We won't go home today, we will take you to watch the night cherry blossoms." ”
"Good. ”
Shakiro rarely refuses Chenming's requests, even if she is not interested in these beautiful scenery, she still shows that she likes it, because the only thing she is interested in is the young man next to her.
Taking Shakira's little hand, Tatsunami stepped forward and walked with her away from the old and silent street, heading for the distance.
As the saying goes, gods have a hundred faces, and what the Toei Kingdom believes in is the gods in their minds, such as Amaterasu, such as Susanoo and so on.
They usually worship the gods at the shrine, but ten kilometers from Tatsunaru's residence is the Fushimi Inari Shrine, where the god "Uga no Mijin" is worshipped, one of the incarnations of the god of wisdom and life in heaven.
Of course, the difference in these beliefs has nothing to do with the purpose of the two men's trip.
Because they were not in a hurry, they did not use their magic to move forward, but walked slowly along the road, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the roadside and sweeping the food in the street shops.
Unconsciously, the sky slowly darkened, and their destination had arrived.
When you look up, you will see a long staircase leading to the top of the mountain, and at the top of the staircase, there are a series of buildings called torii gates, and the groves of trees are full of mystery.
"I heard that there is a blood-colored cherry tree in this shrine that you can't see anywhere else, especially on a full moon night. ”
Retracting his gaze, Chen Ming pulled Shaqiluo, who was still holding a roasted corn in his other hand, and slowly walked towards the mountain.
The silent night adds a unique sense of desolation to the shrine, and this shrine is quite lively during the day, and it seems very shy.
According to the legend of Toei, the night is a time of blessing from the gods and cannot be disturbed, so unless it is the New Year, there are basically no people in the shrine at night.
Walking through the long staircase, they were greeted by a wide flat land, and at the end of the flat ground was a huge ancient temple, where the statues of the gods were enshrined.
On both sides of the temple, there are strangely shaped cherry blossom trees, and the gorgeous pink flowers reflect an extremely soft light under the light of the stars.
"I heard that only when the moon shines on does the blood-colored cherry blossoms appear. ”
Chen Ming stepped forward and looked up at the sky, the moon that should have been brilliant was blocked by a dark cloud, he frowned, and said, "This dark cloud is a little in the way......
The magic inside him surged, and the violent pressure caused the surrounding cherry blossoms to shake uncomfortably and make a rustling sound.
And just as he wanted to disperse the dark clouds, a small hand held down his hand, and he bowed his head in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Wait a minute. ”
There was a faint smile on Shaqiluo's little face, "What we have is time. ”
The girl's smile, like the purest thing in the world, cleansed the young man's slightly restless heart, and he nodded and said, "Then wait a minute." ”
Sitting on the stairs in front of the temple, the two snuggled up to each other, Tatsunaru looking at the starry sky and Shaqira looking at his side face.
"You don't have to rush. ”
For no reason, Shakiro spoke, "I've always been there, no matter how long time passes, I'll be waiting for you." ”
Chen Ming was slightly stunned, retracted his gaze, looked at the girl with slightly squinted eyes in his arms, and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I just cherish, cherish every minute and second with you, even a little bit of time, I don't want to waste it." ”
"However, I think you are a little anxious now. ”
Shaqiro said, "In the past, no matter where we were, no matter what the surrounding environment was, you didn't care, but now you desperately want to change, want to prove something to me, to yourself, I don't even know if it's right or wrong for me to stay by your side......"
It was like a dream, but Chen Ming's body trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Fool's ......"
Shaqiluo raised her head, a pair of eyes reflected Chen Ming's panicked cheeks, "I didn't say that I was going to leave you, I just want to say, you don't have to be in such a hurry, even if the world separates us, even if fate separates us, one day, I will let us meet again, and on that day, whether it is running or flying, I will come to you desperately, do you understand?"
Chen Ming nodded, there was water vapor in his eyes, from the time he came to the world to the present, he has been forcing himself, has been anxious to make himself stronger, the appearance of the magic tower, let him realize how weak his strength is, even though he knows that he has done a very good job, among his peers, he has achieved the first place.
But...... That's not enough!
Far from enough!
In his previous life, he was forced by his parents to be excellent and forced to stand in the first position, which was obviously not what he wanted, but he was still like this, but the final result was to become the dregs of society, he lived like a marionette, at their mercy.
He always thought that as long as he was good enough, his parents would look at him more, but no matter how hard he tried, they only looked at his grades, not enough, still not enough!
Until his parents died, until he died, he thought that the shackles that bound him were gone, but he didn't realize that he himself had become his own shackles.
From the moment he realized that he couldn't do without Shaqiluo, he had been urging himself to become stronger quickly, he had thought that he had done well enough, and his strength was the best of all the young demons in hell.
And just when he thought that this was enough, the truth behind the magic tower became a long whip that spurred him, and he once again forced himself into a corner.
He didn't hesitate to even touch the damn power of the goddess who could tear him apart, he just wanted to prove to Shakiro that he had the ability to change her fate and could be by her side.
It wasn't until today that he realized that in his previous life and in this life, he was a desperate hungry wolf who was forced to the edge of the cliff, wagging his tail and begging for mercy at that ethereal fate.
Stretching out her little immature hands, Shakiro held his tear-stained cheeks and said distressedly, "I don't want to be a ...... The shackles that bind you, I have time, wait for you to slowly become stronger, I have time, let you slowly prove to me, Chen Ming...... Please don't let me ...... Be your shackles......"
The hollow voice, like a magic spell, turned the pink cherry blossoms swaying with the breeze red, just like the color of a girl's hair, so gorgeous.
"Look ......"
Shaqiro smiled slightly, she glanced at the blood-colored cherry blossoms, and said, "Even if you don't disperse the dark clouds, the dark clouds will leave, and you are destined to be able to see the scenery, why worry?"
She stood up and walked to the middle of the square with small steps, dancing under the brilliant cherry blossoms.
The breeze blows, and the blood-colored cherry blossom petals slowly break free from the shackles of the branches as she dances, and circle after circle around her.
All kinds of scenery in the world, as if at this moment, all converged on the girl's body, Chen Ming's eyes were dull, and the short-lived beauty made his heart palpitate, and he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the girl who was like a butterfly flying.
After a dance, the dark clouds covered the moonlight again, but the strange thing was that the blood color on the cherry blossom tree did not recede half a minute, and the bright red petals covered the girl's skirt like blood, and she lay there quietly, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.
The destined fate cannot be changed, even if it deviates from the track for a while, it will still be instigated by fate to return to the right track.
The young man and the girl sat on the stairs, the other lying on the ground, and the distant dawn forced back the cold of the night, melting their figures, and disappearing along with the blood-colored cherry blossoms in that place.
There are bones buried under the cherry blossoms, and perhaps, they are the only witnesses to the scenery of last night.
