Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 152: The Sea of Tears
As soon as the next day dawned, they went to the shrine to pay their respects. The two little witches who swept the floor dozed off, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy about them. The shrine is actually very deserted, and it is more lively during the New Year's holidays, and there are no special rules for burying the elderly on weekdays, even if it is a wake, it is at home.
Shanhai asked the witch if there was anyone special who came, and the two little girls just looked at each other and shook their heads. However, one told him that he seemed to see someone breaking into the shrine in the middle of the night - it could also be a dream, and she wasn't sure.
"What does that guy look like?"
"I don't see it. We're sleepy...... I just feel tall and strong, and I am a man. But maybe I'm dreaming. Hey, don't tell the people in the village about us dozing off......"
"No, when it's time for me to rest, it's time for you to be awake!"
"Phew, blame you!"
The two little guys quarreled, like fighting cats, giving people the illusion that their backs were arched.
There are many bells in the whole courtyard, and the wind blows and squirts. When praying for the blessing, all three of them threw money into the box. Ring the bell first, bow twice, clap your hands twice, and bow again. Mu Wan and Dai Luan have the same example. They all have different aspirations, and none of them say it explicitly. After making a wish, Mu Wan couldn't help but ask him curiously:
"In addition to the affairs of the Daomen, how do you know so many various rules?"
"Hmm...... I know a little bit of everything, but not much about everything. ”
There was another murmuring sound outside, perhaps the wind was blowing again. Shanhai turned his head and glanced out the window, and suddenly saw the shadow of a woman.
“…… Well? ”
"What's wrong?"
He looked again, but there was nothing outside the window. Shanhai thought it was his own delusion. The other two didn't understand what it meant, so they also looked out the empty window, and naturally found nothing.
"It's okay, maybe I didn't sleep well, a little ......"
The moment he turned around, the mountains and seas struck a spirit. The two girls naturally knew why—a woman somehow appeared in the house, and somehow, just in front of Shanhai.
She was beautiful, tall and straight, standing straight in front of the cash drawer. Her hair was smooth and shimmering, and her bangs and sideburns were neatly trimmed. The outfit was similar to a normal shrine maiden costume, but the style was more complicated. The clothes are white with aqua red and apricot patterns, and the color is mild and comfortable. The hem of her dress was a richer color, reddened and browned, like wet edges, but not burdensome.
But what was even whiter was her finely sculpted face and the arm holding Kagura Suzu. It is more pale than pale, like the waves of the sea, the snow of the sky, or the clouds of the sky. Clean and clear, but overly dazzling.
Like a remnant flower that can be taken away by a gust of wind.
Her eyes are also beautiful.
"Mao ......"
"Qinghe Remnant Flower, Utsuki-kun."
The woman smiled. In the cold of this day, her smile was like warm water falling on the snow, naturally blooming and quietly condensing.
"Ah, we're looking for you! We have a lot of things to ask you......" Mu Wan took a step forward, she had completely ignored how Mao Yuejun got in, "Ah, it's rude, I almost forgot to introduce, I'm ......"
"You are Liangqiu Muwan. This Taoist is named Rin Shanhai, and his apprentice is the county lord of Dailuan City, Dai Luan. I know all of your time, and the wood-dyed geese have told me when they come. ”
"Hmm, is that so......"
"With you, there are still a hundred bones of the Lord who will not give up. But for some reason, he and the woman disappeared into the gap between the six realms. I've heard about that, too. But it's a pity that I once told Ye Yuejun that now in the two realms of heaven and earth, there has never been such a person. ”
He ...... Are you back? Or ......," Dai Luan asked tentatively.
At this time, a paper figure flew in from outside the house. She held out her hand, and the paper figure jumped vividly on her fingertips and bowed. Then, she jumped onto Utsuki-kun's shoulder and leaned close to her ear as if she had said something, even though the others had heard nothing.
"Let's go out and talk." She pointed out the door, "The lily of the valley over there is open, do you want to go and see it?" ”
"Suzu...... Orchid? ”
This is not the season for lily of the valley to bloom. The three of them were full of suspicion, but they still followed her out. After passing through the torii gate and walking along the path for a while, Ugetsuki-kun stopped at the base of a wall. There was a vague fragrance here, and when they lowered their heads, they realized that there were really a few clusters of lily of the valley blooming here. They were strung together like small bells carved from white jade.
"How can there be lily of the valley this season?" Mu Wan stretched out his hand and swept over the flowers, "It's not hot here......
"Where there is abundant aura, it is easy for untimely flowers to bloom."
Mao Yuejun stretched out his hand and gently held a small bone. Lily of the valley was awakened like a sleeping goblin, lazily stretched its petals, and relaxed its muscles.
Shanhai asked, "You mean, there are six spiritual veins around here?" ”
"Well, that's good. But with my own strength, I naturally can't let you pass through safely. ”
"I really don't dare to trouble you. We are grateful for this heart. ”
"Heh, nothing to thank. At the end of the day, I didn't help you with anything. As for the Lord of the Hundred Bones...... The one next to me, that girl......" Utsuki-kun paused, "I know." ”
"You know?" Dai Luan suddenly came up, "Do you know about Wu Qi and Ah Qi?" ”
"About thirty or forty years ago, or earlier, I was in the area of Xuanzheng Town. There is also a shrine that I have visited many times. I do know something about them. In the end, they quarreled and started because of something...... He released the ghosts that were suppressed in the ancient well. ”
"Stop!" Dai Luan interrupted, "Stop, stop...... No, I remember they said that it was the shrine maiden who ran out on their own, and the shrine maiden finally suppressed it. How did the two of them get involved in the battle between the witch and the mystery? And since then, Wu Qi has said that he doesn't remember anything about his past. We guess it was the big war that hit the head. ”
"Hmm...... I'm not wrong. Actually, it was because of their conflict in the shrine. The woman was going to kill him, but she saved his life when Xuan Zhen attacked. When the situation calmed down, the witch and the demon were gone, and people only saw Shi Wuqi holding the corpse of a woman, looking dazed and lost. ”
"That's something we know." Shan Hai thought for a moment, "They ...... In fact, they were in love? Of course, this is my own speculation. I just thought that before that, their relationship must have been more than that. ”
Mu Wan nodded in agreement: "That's right." Miss Qi is willing to risk her life to protect him...... Perhaps, do you care about him? ”
Mao Yuejun still smiled. Her gaze fell quietly on the white lily of the valley, and the smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly became extremely desolate for some reason. Winter is already cold enough, and there is another pale and weak woman standing next to the snow of the lily of the valley that seems to have not melted.
"Probably." She chuckled twice, "But surviving isn't necessarily a good thing." ”
"For the six realms of impermanence, endless life is indeed a bit too boring." Shanhai comforted her, "But it's about the relationship between humans and demons...... The reason why I feel that the relationship between them is different from ordinary people is not only expressed in daily behavior and cooperation, but also that, that ...... What is innate. To put it mildly, it makes sense to say that the catastrophe was a reproach from God for this relationship. ”
"Hehehe, you're right."
Utsuki-kun turned his face sideways and put his hand under the lily of the valley again. The small bell, which had only been in full bloom for a short time, suddenly faded, withered, and withered under some invisible external force.
"Alas...... I don't think it's a big deal. Dai Luan complained, "This river and lake is so big, how difficult it is to meet someone you like, why care if the other party is a human or a demon." ”
"You're still too young – it's painful." Mu Wan said very seriously, "It's not that Shanhai hasn't told you about the disadvantages...... But I want to say that even if you really get along with each other for a lifetime, it is too unfair for youkai to have a short human life in a fleeting manner. ”
Utsuki-kun lifted the Kagura bell and shook it lightly twice. Many small paper figures poured out of her wide cuffs, like small birds surrounding Kagura bells.
"Let me show you. The relationship between people and monsters will indeed only give birth to the fruits of disaster. ”
Suddenly, several people felt the world spin – not in their heads, but in the scenery around them. All the wall tiles and vegetation were twisted together, as if shattered by the trilling sound of the bells, blending, and diluting a completely different color.
All the dusty images of many years ago are vividly replayed in front of them.
Thousands of years ago, in a deep mountain, there was a small isolated village.
There is a shrine in the mountain village, and a goddess is enshrined in the shrine.
The reason why a goddess is a goddess is because she can talk to God and say oracles.
The whole village loved her, and coaxed her every day with delicious food and fun.
Later, a youkai from elsewhere came to the mountain, and by chance he met the goddess.
They talked happily and had feelings back and forth.
Everyone hated the monster and told her to be careful, and she just smiled.
Spread rumors that the son of God and a demon will fall in love with each other, and it will lead to natural disasters.
They were to offer the goddess to the god of the mountain.
As a result, natural disasters struck as promised.
So, her lover slaughtered the village.
The mountain god suppressed the youkai and cast a curse on the goddess who broke the taboo.
She will live forever and forever, immortal and immortal, and will never see her sweetheart again.
There are no mountains and no tombs, and the rivers are exhausted. Thunder and earthquake in winter, rain and snow in summer, heaven and earth are combined.
Not seen in this life, not in eternal life.
The lovely goddess, the poor goddess.
- Gave birth to a face that was exactly the same as Qing and Remnant Flower.
