Chapter 20: Cherry Blossoms
On the secluded underworld, flowers on the other side are swaying and blooming. As the breeze from nowhere gently swept by, the sea of crimson flowers rose and fell like a wave.
Occasionally, a whirlwind rolled up a manju sawa that had already crumbled and fluttered in the air with a light breeze, and then dissipated inch by invisible.
And the lonely foundation that remained in place quietly opened its leaves, waiting for the next Manzhu Sawa to bloom......
The small figure strolls in the sea of flowers, and the waves of flowers hit her one after another, like a bird returning to its nest, gently caressing and then drifting away again.
Step by step, she quietly walked to the center of the boundless sea of flowers, and slowly opened her hands.
A faint light emerged from the palm of the hand, floated out, turned into a small ball of light, swinging, and dragged out a swaying trace behind him, vaguely, you can see a serene figure in the ball of light, closed eyes and silence, and then fleeting......
The swaying light slowly fluttered up, one, two, three, four......
A steady stream of clear light floated out from the sleeves of the tiny figure, rising into the air, circling around......
With the appearance of the river formed by this clear light, as if awakening something, and as if to welcome something, among the swaying flowers on the other side, a series of faint clear light emerged from it, floated, circled straight up, and the new stream converged, and finally until it merged into a river, the sea, the sky on this side was full of ......
In the center of the sea of stars, there is a cluster of 'newly' clear lights, bright but flickering, like restlessness, like restlessness, like restlessness, and if you look closely, it seems to be all dyed with a layer of obscurity......
Beyond the small cluster in the center were clusters of pure starlight, swirling and rhythmic, circling around them......
The small figure standing quietly in the center of the sea of flowers bowed slightly, solemnly and sincerely greeting:
"The existence of life and death, ah......"
"The nameless sacred tree......
"Listen to my request......"
"Please answer the prayers of all beings......"
"At this time, here, here and now, ......",
"Wash away the troubles of the world......
"Purify the ...... of the gods and demons"
"Judgment ...... All Iniquities"
“……”
"Please give them ......"
"The Tranquility ...... of the Dead"
"and ......"
"The ...... of the Dead of the Living"
With the eulogy sounding quietly, and then spiraling upward, in the endless sea of flowers on the other side, began to slowly glow.
The mist rose, the void dissolved, and a huge figure slowly emerged accompanied by the sound of Dao waves......
It was a huge and gigantic sacred tree: the swirling roots went deep, the huge trunk stood up to the sky, and the infinite branches swayed in the breeze......
On the infinite branches, the cherry petals bloomed one by one, fluttering in the wind, exuding infinite clear light......
The breeze blows, and the petals that bloom on the branches fall one by one, and then they spread out in the wind, swirling, fluttering, and in an instant, they seem to turn into butterflies, dancing in the wind......
And the sea of stars rotating in the sky seemed to have received a call and a sense at this time, enveloping the central star cluster, slowly drifting down, and slowly welcoming the faint cherry blossom light......
With the splashing and dyeing of clear light, the star clusters that were originally dyed with layers of gray were as if they had been brushed away from the layers of dust, and slowly became thorough and clear, until they completely turned into a part of the boundless sea of stars, and they could no longer distinguish each other......
The dust is swept away, the filth is gone, and the troubles are forgotten......
At this moment, at this moment, they finally returned to their original colors and were able to enjoy the silence of death......
The sea of stars is still slowly falling, and the star clusters that were originally hovering above the sky are slowly returning to calm again, falling, falling into the sea of flowers on the other side, waiting for reincarnation and returning to heaven and earth......
But there is also that thoughtless, unobtrusive, unfilthy ghost still hovering slowly around the huge figure for a long time. It's like thanks, it's like a salute, it's like saying goodbye......
"It's ......"
At some point, a black figure had already come to the side of the small figure. He walked softly, step by step, until he came to the foot of the great cherry tree, looked up, looked up, looked at the huge figure that swayed in front of him, and muttered a voice.
"The Divider of Life and Death, the Caretaker, the only pillar of this Netherworld Pure Land......"
"And it's also the last hope of this netherworld, and I gamble my life to protect it......"
Behind him, the little blue figure slowly followed, and explained: "It has no name, so it has no appearance, and it is only because I planted it here that it manifests like this......
"And in the yang world, this figure of it is called so by the world......"
"Sakura ......"
"Sakura ......," Mo muttered, his dark eyes quietly staring at the huge figure surrounded by Taoist cherry blossom petals in front of him, and then slowly stretched out his right hand to catch one of the falling flowers.
I saw it, the petals unfolded, lying quietly in the palm of the hand, trembling slightly. Faintly, it seems that you can see the cherry blossom slowly flowing on it, quiet and warm, "cherry blossom ......"
"So it's called 'cherry blossoms'......", the left hand in the sleeve was folded, and the jade pendant in the hand was gently swiped over. Its quality is soft and smooth; Its water chestnut is round and distinct; It is shaped like a cherry blossom......
After a long time, he slowly gathered his palms, looked at the huge figure in front of him again, and muttered:
"The other side of life and death, the reincarnation of heaven and earth, the pillar of the underworld......"
"I see......"
He slowly turned around and looked at the small figure behind him, "Now, Shiki, I accepted your previous proposal. Let me contribute my modest strength to this darkness and to this 'cherry blossom tree' in front of me. ”
Hearing this, Shiki bowed slowly and solemnly, "Then, please." ”
"Ah, leave it to me......", the cherry blossoms in the sky continued to fall, and in this flying sea of flowers, a condensed figure promised, so slowly and solemnly:
"I'll make your long-cherished wish come true......"
"I will restore order and tranquility to this netherworld......
"I will fill the flaws of this heaven and earth ......"
"I will let this 'cherry blossom tree' become the real pillar of this underworld......"
"What you have prayed for, what I have promised, all these things will be fulfilled in the near future!"
