Chapter 6 The Scroll of the Green Walking Lantern
Uesugi Kiyoshi kept staring at the expression of the wine swallowing boy.
It's a pity, though.
The ghost king, who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years, even if he has a violent temper, is not always happy and angry.
He saw nothing but a hint of drunkenness.
Listening to his questioning words, the wine-swallowing boy drank the wine in his glass, sat cross-legged against the wall, and shook his head with gloomy eyes.
"I'm here for an engagement."
"Heh, as for the agreement, I forgot it."
"Don't look at me like that, I'm too lazy to lie to you, there's no need."
"When the Kraken invaded the Great River, I woke up the Ghost King and the Divine Son, and fought to the death with the Kraken, and I was already injured a lot."
"Later, for some reason, it seems that I took the ghosts of the great rivers and mountains to attack Heianjing and settle old accounts with Minamoto Yorimitsu."
"I should have lost."
"Because the final result is that I was sealed into the dream mirror, and all the ghosts of the great rivers and mountains were scattered."
"However, no matter how much I think about it, I can't remember the reason why I went to Heiankyo to fight."
"It's like... To help a... Friend? ”
"First I overdrew my strength, then I fought a vicious battle, and then I was sealed, those onmyoji can be very black, my soul was almost shattered by the beating, my memory was lost a lot, and my divine consciousness was also muddy."
"The power and body of the Divine Son have been taken away, the power of the Ghost King has been exhausted, and the great rivers and mountains in the dream mirror are still alive, and they are not as good as a dog."
"All I can remember is that I should have had an agreement with a friend at the time."
"We agreed."
"The next time before the baptism of heaven and earth, when the dream collapses and a hundred ghosts are about to come out, I will come to the present world in advance to help him."
The drunken boy covered his head in some pain, gasped loudly, and slammed the floor in some anger.
"Can't think of anything! Damn it! ”
"Uesugi, Uncle Ben has made a promise, and I will definitely do what I promised."
"The only thing I can be sure of is that the person I'm looking for has something to do with your Hundred Ghost Scroll."
"Maybe... That's you. ”
"That's why I'll lend you my power, even if it's temporarily inhabited in your dream mirror, it doesn't matter."
"I always felt that you were not my enemy."
Uesugi Kiyoshi's gaze gradually softened.
He remembered the red-haired ghost king who had passed by him and led the few oni clans left to march towards Heiankyo and shouted loudly to stop the Genji onibei for himself.
The impressions of the two coincide and become one.
Uesugi Kiyoshi half-squatted down and patted the wine swallowing boy on the shoulder.
"I can probably understand your feelings, my memory has also been passive, and it is a little uncomfortable to think of a stubble is a stubble."
"It's going to be fine."
"Oeyama is near Kyoto, do you want to go back and have a look?"
The wine swallowing boy glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi meaninglessly, and slowly shook his head.
"There's not much to see, but if you control the Narusami sword qi, then there aren't many things in Kyoto that can threaten you."
"Ghosts and gods, you deal with them, if there are humans you can't deal with, you can call me out."
"It's just a good time to relieve boredom."
"If you really want to help me..."
"My divine body should be in Kyoto, if you have the chance, help me get it back."
"That way, I won't have to live with you."
After saying a few words sullenly, the wine swallowing boy glanced at Uesugi Kiyoshi deeply again, turned around, and threw himself into the scroll.
Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't stop him, but just twisted his fingers thoughtfully, touched the sharp sword, and muttered words in his mouth.
"Narugami sword qi?"
"Hmm... Narujin means to pray to the gods. ”
"This is the sword qi I prayed to the gods for?"
"No... With my character, I wouldn't have such a weak name. ”
"Probably, when you encounter this sword qi, you should ask the gods for forgiveness! There is no other way to live! In the name of this life. ”
"The expression of the wine swallow just now is obviously wrong, it seems that he is very jealous of this sword qi, could this be the key to the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts being able to completely destroy the ghosts and gods?"
"What he just said doesn't look fake."
"Anyway, a thousand years ago, he was also on my side, so he shouldn't fool me."
"Hmm..."
"Forget it, let's go and ask Fuyao in person."
"She's also in Kyoto, and there are some things she should know best!"
Uesugi Qing remembered Li Fuyao, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and slowly overlapped her face with the Qingxing lantern in her memory, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Putting aside the memories of his previous life, he likes Li Fuyao in this life alone.
Character, looks, temperament, so much so that ... Ability.
If he hadn't encountered these messy things, and he hadn't encountered apricots, Uesugi Kiyoshi would probably have pursued Li Fuyao without any scruples.
She fits the bill for the perfect wife in her mind.
And when the images of Li Fuyao and Qingxing Lantern coincide, this feeling is even stronger.
An indescribable, unconscious longing for Li Fuyao often comes to my heart and cannot be abandoned.
He walked a few steps, looked at a green lotus in his self-portrait hand, and laughed.
This green lotus is a collection of mirages that he can use now.
From mirage, to ghost fire, to Qinglian.
"This is probably the handiwork of Fuyao."
"The fact that I can be reincarnated should be thanks to her."
"When the whole world is the enemy, and everyone wants to kill me, how did she manage to bring out my divine soul and send it to reincarnation..."
"It feels like the two of us made a plan together, but unfortunately I can't remember it, damn it, what kind of enemy can make me so careful that I don't want to show any flaws."
"All the memories are stripped away..."
"It is said that it is Yan Jun of the Hades who is in charge of [reincarnation]?"
"If you have a chance, you still have to figure out what happened..."
"What did I do in the first place, what power did I have, and what happened in between..."
"I always feel like Fuyao won't tell me this."
“...”
"Let me find out for myself! Guess the riddle?! ”
Inexplicably, Uesugi Kiyoshi was irritable in his heart.
Flicking his fingers to eliminate the sword qi on his fingertips, he sullenly came to the main seat of the long table in the middle of the mirage building and sat down.
He stretched out his hand, and the scroll fell into his hand.
"Forget it, I'll talk about that kind of thing later, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and I can't pit myself."
"Anyway, let's unblock all the memories that can be unsealed first."
On the scroll in his hand, the words "Qingxing Lamp" were written impressively.
This is the Tale of Edo Genji, there are bits and pieces of memories about the Seongxing lantern.
I'm about to go to see Li Fuyao, and Uesugi Kiyoshi can't still remember anything about Qingxingdeng.
He was also curious in his heart.
What grievances and hatreds does he have with the Lord of Hundred Things?
can let her stay by her side after a thousand years.
