Chapter 15: Parting

Just a few words, the white-haired girl extracted a lot of information and painted the outline of a conspiracy.

Yuan Zhengya's eyes were already a little wrong when she looked at Qingxingdeng.

He turned his head, looked at his brother deeply, and laughed inexplicably.

"Well, no wonder you're so nervous about her."

"My brother has a good eye, though... The taste is somewhat unique. ”

"I remember that you and Yuan Laiguang had a complete falling out, also because of a monster girl?"

Yuan Qingya shrugged her shoulders a little helplessly, wanting to say something, but she only coughed up a few traces of blood.

“...”

"You are... Masa-sama, I've heard your name. ”

"I will accept your words as a compliment, now, can you let me have a few words with him alone?"

Qingxingdeng didn't mean to be polite, she spoke bluntly, which made Yuan Zhengya a little stunned for a while.

Looking at his younger brother's eyes, Yuan Zhengya grinned and didn't say a word, and slipped into the distance with his hands behind his back to check which onmyoji's corpses had gone.

Although the injury was not fatal, the crumbling body caused by excessive blood loss was about to fall to the ground, and Qing Xing Lantern finally reacted.

She recovered from the blood and scars, and supported Yuan Qingya with some anxiety to prevent him from falling to the ground.

Chest, ribs, thighs.

The three wounds gushed out endless blood, staining Yuan Qingya's clothes red and Qingxingdeng's eyes.

She wanted to touch, but she didn't dare, timidly touched the bare skin under Yuan Qingya's tattered samurai suit, lowered her eyebrows, and finally sighed faintly.

"You... Nothing. ”

The nonsense that sounded extremely useless to her own was said by her, which made her heart ache for a while.

Yuan Qingya didn't think so much, and smiled reluctantly.

"It's okay, I can't die."

He was not reckless, and a swordsman of his level would not die so easily.

The extraordinary power of a swordsman is qi.

Compared with the rest of the extraordinary powers, Qi is more unique, it is a combination of physical strength and spiritual power, thus sublimating a kind of energy, the role of Qi, which even includes the exorcism of evil spirits, strengthening the body, eliminating toxins, and... Heal wounds.

Yuan Qingya's injuries are a little scary now, if she is a mortal, under the medical conditions of this era, if there is no intervention of extraordinary power, she will definitely die.

He didn't worry about his injury, and with his current level of qi cultivation, he would be healed after lying on the bed for a few days.

The scar is insignificant, but it has become an indelible crack in the heart of Qingxingdeng.

Hurt on Yuan Qingya's body, hurt in the heart of the white-haired girl.

Her fingers slipped down, grabbed the corners of Yuan Qingya's tattered clothes, and was silent for a long time before she spoke in a somewhat crying accent.

"I... I'm leaving. ”

Yuan Qingya didn't seem to hear what Qingxinglan said, and asked blankly, "What did you say?" ”

The white-haired monster girl raised her head, and determination gradually rose in her eyes.

"I said, I'm leaving you for a while."

"I'm going to collect stories, collect strange stories, and become the true master of the Hundred Stories!"

"I'm going to get stronger."

"It's not that everything is hiding behind you!"

Yuan Qingya opened her mouth in surprise, and shook her head without saying anything.

"You can take care of the affairs of the city, and I am the one who fights and kills."

"I'm a person, I pay attention to the distinction between grievances and grievances, you have helped me so much, of course I will protect you!"

"Today was an accident, it was me who neglected your safety, I'm sorry, I'll pay attention in the future..."

Before he finished his words, he was cut off with some annoyance by Qing Xingdeng.

"I didn't mean that!"

"Yuan Qingya, maybe you like a woman who hides behind you in everything, like an apricot... But I'm not that kind of person! ”

"I don't want to hide behind you and watch you fight hard, and I can only shed tears!"

"That's torture for me!"

The nails sink deep in the soft palms, and the tingling feeling can't suppress the complicated feelings of anger, guilt, and remorse in my heart.

But she looked at Yuan Qingya's somewhat shocked face, and finally her tone softened.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood, I shouldn't have yelled at you..."

"I'm touched that you're willing to die for me, and I know you care about me."

"But you can't die for me every time."

"If you do, I don't! Do you know how sad I was just when I watched your body go through?! ”

"I can't just hide behind you, I can get stronger."

"The compilation technique of the Hundred Stories is innate in my mind, which is also unique, if I do it with my heart, the results will definitely not disappoint me..."

"The affairs of the city and Musashi are already on the right track, as long as they follow the rules, nothing will go wrong."

"After a year of operation, there are no internal worries in your territory, but you have to be careful of external troubles, the eight countries of Kanto, and the other seven countries are all eyeing you."

"I'm just going out for a while, looking for weird stories, and letting my demonic power sublimate and solidify... Look for the steps to the gods and see if there is a way to become a god..."

"As a demon, I am always coveted and suppressed by those onmyoji,"

"I'll be back."

After saying that, Qing Xing Deng took a step back, looked straight at Yuan Qingya, and the corners of his mouth suddenly bloomed with a bright smile.

She smiled, looking at this man who had never disappointed her, her eyes were full of reluctance, and she wanted to crush him into a pool of smoke like autumn water.

She didn't want to go.

Staying by Yuan Qingya's side, she has a very down-to-earth sense of security, he never has to look at himself with that kind of strange, disgusted, disgusted eyes, obviously an important decision, but rest assured to leave it to himself to decide, she likes books, his castle tower has set aside several rooms, as her special library, when she buries her head in dealing with government affairs until late at night, when she looks up, you can see him next to him reading the art of war book - he knows that he can't help, but he will accompany her until the end of the night.

In the past, like a drizzle, watered the heart.

Sometimes, Qingxing Lantern also can't help but think that I may never meet someone so good to me in the future.

Or is he really a treasure given to me by God, a story that I am destined to write in this life?

Maybe in the long run, one day, at a certain time, it will come naturally, she will really be willing to be his young lady, plan for him, resist foreign enemies, take care of everything, and her heart is tied to him.

But now, she had to leave.

The awakening of the Lord of Hundred Things requires wandering and searching, increasing knowledge and writing more stories that have been experienced personally.

Sniffling and touching the corners of her eyes, the delicate girl's palm gently covered half of Yuan Qingya's blood-stained face.

"Yuan Qingya, if you are willing to die for me, I am willing to live for you for the rest of my life."

"When I return, I will never let you be in such a dangerous situation again."

"I swear..."

"The Lantern Festival... Stand by you, not behind you. ”

The girl's words were loud, and Yuan Qingya wanted to speak several times, but finally swallowed it forcibly.

He had no reason to refute it, let alone leave her excuse.

It is no exaggeration to say that the monster girl in front of him is the person who is closest to his way of thinking found after Yuan Qingya crossed over.

Her thinking is somewhat ahead of the times, and some of Yuan Qingya's ideas are inexplicably compatible.

Since picking up the treasure girl, Yuan Qingya's favorite thing to do, in addition to practicing swords, has also chatted with his chief manager.

was by her impatient poisonous tongue, merciless complaints, involuntary complaints, and coquettishness, and finally looked at her serious side face when she was engrossed in her work.

It's always something that keeps him entertained.

Now think about it, when you can see a girl, you can't help but laugh.

This could just be...

Like it.

Yuan Qingya lowered her head, didn't dare to look at Qingxingdeng's face, and said sullenly: "Then I will send someone to protect you... Or I'll just go with you..."

He tried to hold on, but his tone was a little weak.

"Forget it, don't you want your territory and people?"

Sure enough, it was rejected.

"But you're dangerous! You see, today, these onmyoji are eyeing you, there are countless people like them, what if something happens to you! ”

Yuan Qingya's words were already full of anger.

Qingxing Lantern didn't dodge or dodge, just looked at Yuan Qingya, every word was like a knife, as if he wanted to crush the nostalgia in his heart.

"That's my life is shallow and blessed, you and I will see you again in the next life"

"I don't want to say goodbye to you in the next life!"

Yuan Qingya almost blurted out, her sword eyebrows furrowed, she raised her head suddenly, her wound was pulled, and she coughed violently a few times.

Qing Xing Deng hurriedly supported him, supported his somewhat overdrawn body, squinted, and spoke softly.

"Oh~ You hate me so much, don't you want to see me again in the next life?"

"You know I didn't mean that..."

Yuan Qingya shook her head a little gloomily, knowing that this was a joke, but she didn't have the strength and mood to joke.

“...”

"It's a troubled time now, this year, there are more and more signs of ghosts and gods, and it's getting more and more serious, just in Musashi Country, you have to deal with the monsters that come out of nowhere every few days, and you're tired of complaining to me every day, and you have forgotten?"

"In the future, it will be even more dangerous."

"Except for the monsters, the source of Heiankyo is your mortal enemy, and now he has offended the He Mao family, which is the onmyoji family who controls the Yin and Yang Liao, Qingya, you have many more enemies than friends."

"Your path ahead will be full of thorns."

"I wish I was the one who helped you overcome the obstacles, instead of letting you carry me on my back and carry the weight on this difficult road."

"If that's the case, it's better to let me die, out of sight is pure, I'm still willing."

The tone paused, and the white-haired monster girl's eyes flickered, transforming into the last tenderness.

"Yuan Qingya."

"Don't make a look of abandonment, I'm just leaving temporarily."

"You should be, I'm going to buy books in the town as usual..."

"We... See you later~"

Yuan Qingya only felt a burst of dizziness in his brain, but his physical injuries were fine, but Qingxingdeng's sudden farewell made him feel even more uncomfortable.

He beat his spirit, glanced at Qingxing Lantern deeply, and his heart turned back and forth, and finally sighed, and finally let go.

"Well... If that's what you want, then as you wish. ”

“... I'll wait for you to come back. ”

"Of course you'll have to wait for me."

Just put down such a sentence, the girl smiled slightly, waved her clothes and turned around, her back was chic and resolute, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

It's just that on the front that Yuan Qingya can't see, the tears on her face slide down, like jade beads, which cannot be broken.

This may be the way to say goodbye, life and death.

She might die somewhere, and he might not be able to wait for himself to come back.

But.

As smart as she is, she can distinguish between what is at stake.

Or just die happily, let him slowly forget himself, don't become a burden.

Or become the true master of the Hundred Things, and support him next time when he is about to fall.

Other than that, there is no third option.

This is...

The choice of the Lord of Hundred Things.

The white-haired girl in her blue and white kimono floated to the sky like a cloud.

Yuan Qingya just looked at it blankly, and slowly bent down.

I always feel like my heart is empty, as if a piece is missing.

When Yuan Zhengya saw this scene, she hurriedly rushed over, helped her younger brother, gestured to the distance with her eyes, and asked a little puzzled, "What's the matter?" Are you worried that she will go back to the city alone? ”

Yuan Qingya shook her head with a distorted face, did not reply, and after gasping for cold air, she suddenly turned her eyes and stared at the White Tiger Spirit that was pierced by his sword and pierced to the ground.

"I'm in a bad mood right now, I'll give you two options."

"Either stay with me and show me the home and catch mice."

"Either I'll slash you alive with a sword to quench the hatred in my heart."

The pocket tiger that one of the four spirits transformed into was obviously angry, but he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, although it was the guardian spirit of Heianjing, or the white tiger who dominated the killing, but it was like a newborn, and the spiritual intelligence was not high, and it was hit by Yuan Qingya, and it was worn by, and it was already a little scared.

Hearing this fierce tone at this time, where do you dare to make a sound?

It inexplicably felt that the young man in front of him, who looked weak, really had the means to completely kill himself.

Seeing the kitten-like spirit of the white tiger lying on her stomach and pretending to be dead, Yuan Qingya did not vent her resentment, she gritted her silver teeth, looked up at the second brother suddenly, and said hatefully: "Second brother, when you go back to Kyoto, I will keep one of the four spirits by my side." ”

"The Four Elephants Yun Spirit Plate is the town guard of Heianjing, and the loss of one spirit of the Four Spirits is definitely a heinous crime, and the He Mao family can't bear it!"

"That's the handle..."

"Help me... Kill them and vent their evil anger for me! ”

Yuan Zhengya was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "But... Didn't that concubine of yours say..."

Yuan Qingya waved his hand heavily.

"She's right, it may indeed be that Yuan Laiguang is behind the scenes."

"But this account can't be swallowed!"

"You use this secret to threaten the He Mao family and make them make concessions!"

"Whether it's money, authority, or land, grasp the degree well, let them break their muscles and bones, and they won't die!"

"Keep them and wait for me to return to Heiankyo..."

"He Mao family, Minamoto Yorimitsu..."

"Not a single one of them can escape!!"

Yuan Qingya breathed a few times rapidly, suppressed the desire to vomit blood, stared gloomily in the direction of Heianjing, and the smile on the corner of her mouth curled, becoming extremely eerie and terrifying.

"She just cried, I heard it."

"Who made her cry ... I'll let him die! ”
