Chapter 228: Sister
The moon is hazy, and insects chirp.
Most of the monks in the temple went to bed relatively early, and when it was dark, they were already ready to sleep, and now there are no monks and pilgrims walking around in the whole temple.
Chen Beibei leaned on the window, looking at the void dust that he had thought about on the wall.
The abbot had already pasted all the talismans he had prepared during the day on the walls of the Void Dust Room.
These talismans can trap that youkai.
This is what the abbot himself said.
At this time, Chen Beibei could only choose to believe in the abbot, after all, the current Chen Beibei had no way to deal with that monster.
Illusory youkai.
Can despawn instantly, and cannot damage it yet.
The void dust in the meditation room had been sitting against the wall for a long time, and had always maintained the same posture, and had not moved in the slightest.
"Abbot, won't you give him dinner?"
Chen Beibei looked at the abbot and asked him.
"No, when Xuchen first came to our temple before, every day we had people deliver three meals a day, and they were on time. The timing of the meals, as well as the quality of the meals, are exactly the same as ours. It's just that Xuchen only eats the noon meal every day, and as for the morning and evening meals, they are all left there intact. This kind of day lasted for more than half a month, and we wanted to talk to Xuchen and ask him why he didn't eat breakfast and dinner, but Xuchen kept silent, and over time, we only prepared lunch for Xuchen. ”
The abbot looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.
"Oh, I see."
"That's right, if the void dust goes down like this, there will probably be something wrong with the body."
The abbot said.
Chen Beibei carefully looked at Xuchen who was thinking about the wall, his arms seemed to be very thin and his body was very small.
I guess it's because of eating a meal for a long time.
If the energy obtained is not enough to maintain the body's normal metabolism, then humans will slowly consume their own fat to replenish energy.
If you do this for a long time, the whole person will change a lot.
"Brother......
A small voice sounded, as if the wind was blowing, as if it were fake.
Even though he felt that he had heard this voice, Chen Beibei was still not sure if he had heard it wrong.
"Guan Hu, did you hear anything?"
Chen Beibei asked softly.
"Well, it seems that there is a girl calling brother."
Guan Hu's eyes kept searching around, trying to find the girl who was talking.
"Brother...... Brother ......"
The subtle, ethereal voice, even if it doesn't sound so real, but now it's certain that someone is indeed calling my brother constantly.
It's a girl's voice, and the age of listening to the voice shouldn't be too big, probably eleven or twelve years old.
And it's very pure.
There is not a trace of impurities in the voice, there is no emotion, and there is no other sound.
Xuchen suddenly moved his hand slightly.
"He moved."
Guan Hu whispered in Chen Beibei's ear.
Since Chen Beibei and they came here, the void dust has not moved, and now it has suddenly moved, even if it is very subtle, it has still been captured.
Chen Beibei couldn't help but cheer up, and his eyes stared at Xuchen.
"Sister ......"
Xuchen said softly.
……
Yaksha and Prajna had gone deep into the mountains, but they kept going.
Raven Tengu followed closely behind them.
"Yaksha-sama, Prajna-sama, in fact, the ability of the Daughter of Ugly Time is also very useful. Shall we go and find her? It would be easier to get things done with one more person......"
"The Daughter of Ugly Times doesn't know where she is now, and it will take a lot of time to find her now, so forget it. If we really have a fate in the future, we will naturally meet the daughter of the ugly time again. ”
Yaksha said as he walked.
The tone has always been cold, with a hint of majesty.
"Hehe......"
Pranya laughed softly twice, with a rare ease on his face: "I didn't expect that Yasha would actually use words like 'fate'." ”
"Humph!"
Yaksha snorted coldly, without explanation, and continued walking.
"Hey, hey, hey, Yaksha, you're not going to be angry like that, are you? It's so boring to talk back like this. ”
Prajna hurriedly said.
Yaksha has never liked to talk much, but Prajna has always been a woman, and it has been very boring to walk like this along the way.
"Nope."
Yaksha barely spat out two words, then closed his mouth again.
"Nothing? Nakshatra, you make it clear. ”
Prajna just wants to talk to the Yaksha right now, and as for what to say, it doesn't matter.
"No life."
Yaksha said.
Prajna looked at Yaksha's reluctant look and couldn't help laughing, it was the kind of smile that came from the heart, and it was very happy.
"Yaksha, you said we came here, can we really find the youkai you said about?"
"Because it should be possible, more than a thousand years ago, the location of Rashomon, I still remember clearly, if Rashomon has not been discovered and moved, then it should not be wrong."
Yaksha looked at Prajna and said seriously.
"Let's hope he can fight with us. But...... I heard that more than 1,000 years ago, that monster seemed to be obsessed with the drunken boy. Do you think he will be like a drunken boy, leaving behind the hatred of our ghost clan and humans? ”
Pranya looked at Yaksha and asked slowly, at this time, Pranya had already put away his smile and became very serious.
After all, this matter is about whether they can take revenge.
"Perhaps. Your fears may come true, but no matter what, we'll have to give it a try. After all, that youkai is very strong, and if he can join us, then we can worship him as king, and the members of the oni clan who are scattered around the world will surely gather again because of him. ”
Yaksha said slowly, with a hint of longing on his face.
Yaksha seemed to see the youkai, standing on top of a high mountain, looking down on tens of thousands of imps and youkai.
And the imps and the monsters.
They were all screaming his name.
Ibaraki boy!
……
"Brother...... Brother...... Brother ......"
The girl's voice grew clearer and clearer, and it seemed to be in the dusty room, but there was no room in the whole room for a person to hide.
In the room, there was nothing but dust!
"Sister, don't get on that boat, come back quickly, come back quickly...... Come back soon! ”
As Xuchen spoke, he gradually became excited.
And his hand kept rising forward, as if he wanted to hold on to something, but in front of him, there was only a wall.
"It seems that something is interfering with the Void Dust Cultivation."
Chen Beibei looked at the abbot and said lightly.
At this time, even if Chen Beibei didn't say it, the abbot already understood.
In the room, the invisible thing may be a youkai or something.
"Let's move on."
The abbot said softly.
Dust's hand, touching the wall, immediately came back to his senses from meditation, his eyes looking around, as if he was looking for something.
"Sister, sister, where are you, don't hide. Hurry up and come out. ”
Xuchen said anxiously.
However, at this time, the girl did not continue to speak. It's as if it's gone.
"Sister, why don't you come out. Why don't you come out......"
Some tears began to appear in Xuchen's eyes.
And the mood has become even more excited, and he keeps hammering the ground with his hands, even if the skin is broken and bleeding, he doesn't care at all.
"Hey, hey, she's dead...... Your sister is dead, hehehe......"
A man's voice rang out.
Chen Beibei couldn't help but wonder, how many people were in the room? In other words, how many youkai are there?
The girl from before.
Now suddenly a man's voice rang out again.
"Master, you see, it's the monk......"
Guan Hu pointed to the room and said to Chen Beibei.
Chen Beibei looked towards the room of the void dust, and he didn't know when it was, but suddenly there was one more person.
When you look closely.
It can be seen that the extra person in the room is the monk who turned into a big fish.
That is, the monster born from the heart of the void dust.
"Hey, hey, your sister is dead, it's all because of you, why don't you go on the boat with your sister? Why don't you get on the boat with your sister......"
The monk said slowly.
"No, no, I didn't kill her, I didn't know there were bad guys on that boat, I didn't know, I really didn't."
Void Dust kept shaking his head.
It seems that he wants to deny the words of the monk as much as possible.
"You know there are bad people on board, that's why you don't dare to go up. I don't even have the courage to tell my sister to come back, you are really a coward, why do you still live in this world? As...... Hurry up and die......"
The monk was in the room, walking and talking, talking these things as he went.
"Woo woo, I killed my sister, I killed my sister......"
Void Dust seemed to have thought of something, and it had reached the point where it was about to collapse.
"So, go die, so that you can make amends for your sister."
The monk said lightly.
"Dead ...... Dead ......"
Void Dust's body began to tremble, and a strong sense of fear appeared on his face.
The memory goes back to the day my sister died.
Xuchen took his sister on a boat to go somewhere else, but when he was about to get on the boat, Xuchen saw blood stains on the ship's board.
"Brother, hurry up."
My sister ran in front, and when she shouted for the dust, she didn't look back, but just ran towards the boat.
A man slowly stepped out of the cabin.
There is a scar on his face.
In his hand, he also held a knife that had been drawn out, and the knife exuded a slight chill in the sun.
"Sister ......"
Xuchen wanted to call his sister back, but he didn't shout out because of fear.
The man glanced at Xuchen, and Xuchen immediately pulled out his legs and ran away: "Will die...... It's going to be killed by that person, and you can't stop......"
The man behind him laughed, and then crouched in front of his sister.
The two seemed to be talking about something, and the man put his hand on his sister's head, and ...... Blood slowly flowed down.
From the deck, it flows into the river.
"Dead ...... I don't want to die if I ...... die! ”
Void Dust shouted loudly.
It was a little broken, but the monk didn't seem to care at all, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, it's still the case. Cowardly, afraid of death! ”
The smile on the monk's face is because Xuchen is afraid of death, so that it can always exist in this world.
At least until the dust dies, there is no problem.
The youkai born from the heart of the void dust must be attached to the void dust and exist, or be accepted by the onmyoji as a shikigami, and from then on cut off from the main body and become a pure youkai.
"It seems that Xuchen has killed his sister before."
Chen Beibei said slowly.
It's just because of himself, which caused his sister to die, so that there will be no monsters, and the reason why there are monsters in Xuchen's heart is actually related to the self-blame and cowardice in Xuchen's heart.
I've been blaming myself, but I'm afraid of death.
kept deceiving himself, he didn't kill his sister, but it was actually those bad people who killed his sister, and it had nothing to do with him.
However, deep down, I still knew that if I shouted at that time and let my sister come back.
My sister probably won't die.
Or, just rush over and fight with the man.
Although there is a gap in body and strength, and although there is a greater possibility of losing, at least there is some hope.
Regret.
Kick oneself.
But...... But he was afraid......
If you really do it all over again, will Xuchen really dare to fight that bad guy?
If you really do it all over again, can you shout out that sister?
That kind of fear is not something that can be easily overcome.
"Hey, hey, brother, I'm leaving......"
It's a girl's voice.
However, it was the monk in the navy blue robe who spoke.
After the monk finished speaking, he planned to pass directly through a nearby wall, but he failed, and his head hit the wall directly, and he was bounced back.
"Strange, what's going on......?"
The monk touched his head and said suspiciously.
"Sister ......"
Xuchen said.
"Who's your name? I'm you, that voice is imitated from your memory, your sister's voice......"
The monk said slowly.
There was always a mocking look on his face.
The void dust was even more painful.
It's just that I can only bear it silently, after all, there is only one way to end these pains.
That path that the void would never dare to take.
"What's wrong with this room? Why can't I get out? ”
The monk reached out and gently stroked the wall.
If it were a normal thing, the monk's hand could be worn directly from one side of the wall to the other, and the monk had no physical body.
However, now it is blocked by the wall, and there is no way to get out anyway.
