"Worried about you, so I came down."
Bayi Yonglin inspected the Huiye of Penglai Mountain, and did not see her suffering, and the burden in her heart was unconsciously relaxed.
In the capital of the moon, there are very few people who talk to her freely, and her apprentice is a rigid guy, and the former good friend Moon Night See rarely has the opportunity to meet after becoming the master of the moon, so in this case, the somewhat familiar Penglai Mountain Huiye has become an unexpected "junior" who can talk to her.
said that it was a junior, but in fact, Bayi Yonglin's feelings for Kaguya were more complicated, probably because of the sorrow of an aunt after menopause.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's really not like Yonglin! ”
Penglai Mountain Kaguya felt a little embarrassed, this is the love she rarely shows in front of others. Like Bayi Yonglin, her feelings for her are also very complicated, which probably comes from the mentality of a girl who has passed her teenage years and looks like a girl is actually an aunt, right?!
"Hehe, I've lived on the ground for a while, but I'm getting more and more like an earthly person!"
Bayi Yonglin smiled and frowned at a certain place, but when she saw Penglai Mountain Huiye frowning at her, she instantly understood something.
Who is this? Is it the woman's companion? Fujiwara Meihong didn't know that she was known by the people in the room from beginning to end, and thought that her infiltration had been flawless.
“……”
"Why don't you speak, Your Highness the Princess?"
His eyes were scorching focused on Bayi Yonglin's body, and Penglai Mountain Huiye seemed to think of something, and his face became a little ugly.
"Yonglin, you, are you here to take me back?"
"Huh? You don't want to go back? ”
Bayi Yonglin didn't show any surprised expression, as if all the qiē was expected.
"Hehe, sure enough, I still can't hide it from Yonglin!" Penglai Mountain Huiye smiled bitterly, "How can I say it, I'm used to living here." It feels like the moon is like a closed cage. So I want to stay here and live if—"
Bayi Yonglin suddenly interrupted her and asked, "Are you sure this is not the result of your whim?" ”
"Huh? Ah, of course! Humans are very interesting, at least compared to the rigid moon people, I want to live on the earth and breathe free air. Instead of going back to that icy world. ”
"Well, then, it's up to you - according to the rules of the Moon Capital, I, as the Moon Messenger, still have to carry out the rules and bring you back." If I were still the Herald of the Moon.
Looking at Bayi Yonglin in a daze, Penglai Mountain Huiye naturally heard the meaning of her words.
"Are you sure, Yonglin?"
"Of course."
"Then it seems that there is no way!"
“……”
Didn't hear the next words. Fujiwara thought that the annoying woman was about to return to the moon, although it sounded like a myth, and although she "believed" that she was a moonman, she was still a little intimidated when she really faced this reality.
No, I have to find a way, otherwise if this woman "escapes" to the moon, I won't even have a chance to take revenge? Fujiwara Meihong couldn't think of any good way to think about it. I decided to go home first.
It should be noted that her father, Fujiwara Fubi, had already died of shame, or rather died of illness due to depression - Fujiwara Fubie was tasked with finding the Penglai Jade Branch (i.e., the colorful jade branch of Penglai), but unfortunately he could not find this almost legendary treasure at all.
For this reason, he thought of a way, which was to artificially create Penglai jade branches, and he also specially pretended to go out to look for it without going to meet Penglai Mountain Huiye.
In fact, no one could tell whether this was true or false - because the Penglai jade branch produced was almost exactly the same as the legend. It's a pity. The craftsmen who made the Penglai jade branch suddenly came to the door and demanded to pay the wages, which made the matter completely exposed. Fujiwara himself was subjected to unspeakable humiliation as a result of this—the real humiliation was the humiliation he inflicted on himself, and he was.
As a result, Fujiwara, who could be said to be one of the highest people at the time, passed away. It is not clear exactly how he died, but it must have had a lot to do with the humiliation he received.
Because of her father's death, Fujiwara Meihong's hatred for Penglai Mountain Kaguya has deepened.
After returning to the hut where she lived, she began to plan a concrete revenge operation. Strive to achieve the goal before Penglai Mountain leaves for the moon in the night. And what she didn't know was that when she was planning something, the object of her revenge was also planning something, something that could be said to be very strict.
"Yonglin. What do you say we should do? ”
Penglai Shan Kaguya frowned and walked around the room.
"The best way is to get rid of the messengers of the few months that came with me first, and then even if the Moon Capital receives the news, it will be a long time later, so that we can continue to plan during this period." Between the words, Bayi Yonglin didn't care about the life and death of others - she was an extremely terrible person, for enemies who knew her well.
The terrifying thing about Bayi Yonglin is not only her incomparably powerful strength, although it is indeed a strength that makes people desperate, but the most terrifying thing is her character! It seems that there is no human way of calculation, and the mind that can do anything for the sake of victory, and the strongest point of Bayi Yonglin is her wisdom and temperament.
And seeing that this good friend will not come to her for "some trivial things" now, Bayi Yonglin naturally won't care about other people's opinions.
"Mo ~ Yonglin is still so terrifying, he actually said such scary words with a flat face!" Penglai Mountain Kaguya deliberately puffed up her face, but she immediately said, "However, that is indeed the most convenient way!" ”
Bayi Yonglin smiled indifferently.
"Huh...... Hasn't Her Royal Highness been courted by the Emperor of the Earth lately? Why don't you take this opportunity to wrap up the earthly affairs first? ”
"Wrap it up? Ah, do you mean to take advantage of this incident? ”
"Yes, since the Moon Messenger came to the earth from the moon to take away Her Royal Highness the Princess, then let those Moon Messengers temporarily take away Her Royal Highness the Princess, so that you can also break the minds of those people on the ground."
"That's a good idea." Nodding thoughtfully, Penglai Shan Huiye was full of approval, but there was no smile on his face.
"Is Her Royal Highness thinking about the human girl just now?"
"Huh? How, how could it be, me. I...... Ahaha, are you still seeing it? Penglai Shan Kaguya touched his head embarrassedly, "It's just a little concerned, a little!" ”
"Yes, yes, I see." Bayi Yonglin looked at her with doting eyes, "However, even if you only care a little." That's a great honor for that girl, isn't it? ”
"Of course!"
Hearing this, Penglai Mountain Huiye immediately proudly held up his small chest - it's a pity that he never grew up after taking Penglai medicine, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future? Aside from her identity as the Moon Princess, she is still a beauty-loving woman, and she will also care about certain things. Although at that time it was certainly unknown.
"So, have you figured out what to do?"
"Uh......" All of a sudden, Penglai Mountain Huiye was depressed again, "No, I didn't expect it...... Originally, I planned to use the Penglai medicine you gave me to give that girl to drink, so that there would be an enemy to relieve her boredom in the future. But now that you're here, I can't think of any good idea......"
"Give the Penglai medicine to that human girl?" Bayi Yonglin was a little surprised.
"yes. Of course, that's what I thought at first, I didn't mean to waste the medicine you gave me! ”
"I'm not angry, Your Highness Princess."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Really, really?"
"Really, really." Bayi Yonglin waved her hand, a little helpless, this is probably the expression that Penglai Mountain Huiye can make her show, right?
"That's good!" Gently stroking his chest, Penglai Shan Huiye breathed a sigh of relief, "Then again, Yonglin, why did you come so suddenly?" ”
"There's something on the ground that I care a little about."
What does Yonglin care about? Could it be...... Penglai Mountain Huiye was suddenly full of gossip love. said: "Yonglin Yonglin, in fact, you care about individuals, right?" Or is it that? She also stretched out her little finger and shook it in mid-air.
"It's not what you think!" Bayi Yonglin was speechless, "But you're right, I do care about a person, or a monster. It was a youkai that appeared when I was unintentionally divining, a youkai that was far from reaching the realm of a great youkai. ”
"A youkai who hasn't reached the realm of a big youkai? What's there to care about about that weak youkai? ”
"Because, it's not so much a youkai. It's more of a concept, a concept of self-awareness!
Sighing, Bayi Yonglin didn't mean to continue, and Penglai Mountain Kaguya also sensed this and didn't continue to ask. Although she was sure that if she continued to ask, Yonglin would still answer her.
"What? Kaguya turned out to be a man on the moon? And now the moon is coming up and someone is going to take her back? ”
After hearing the news, the emperor, the biggest suitor of Mt. Horai, expressed his difficulty in accepting it. At this time, the emperor was still the pinnacle of power and power - from the perspective of ordinary people on earth.
As for how he knew about her, it was that one of the five deliberately spread the news to the palace after the courtship failed, causing the emperor to take an interest in her and order her to come to the palace.
It's a pity that Penglai Mountain Kaguya resisted the decree without care, and persuaded the Taketori couple with the reason of "If I force me to enter the palace, I would rather die", and his character was appreciated by the world, including the emperor who was rejected.
Later, in a hard break, the emperor saw Kaguyahime's true appearance as he wished, and was immediately shocked, wanting to marry but afraid of disturbing the beauty.
"Kaguya, are you going to leave after all?" Taketori wasn't too surprised when he learned the news.
As early as when he appeared in the light of the bamboo, he had always believed that she was the reincarnation of a god and Buddha, and that she had come to the mortal world just to experience life on earth. Therefore, on weekdays, he and his wife never ask her to do anything like ordinary people ask their children.
Otherwise, according to the average family, Penglai Mountain Huiye would have married someone else at this age and became a wife.
"Yes, Father." Kneeling on the ground, Penglai Shan Huiye bent down to his parents who had raised him for many years, his palms pressed against the floor with his hands in front of him, and his forehead was also on the floor.
"I'm sorry, but I can't support my father and mother for the rest of my life. I. I ......"
"No, it's okay, I knew there might be such a day at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly!"
Taketori waved his hand, and his figure suddenly became even older.
"I'm sorry ......"
Under the pale moonlight, the shadows of the three of them extending to the ground clearly formed two shadows - one of them was the shadow of Kaguya of Penglai Mountain, and the other shadow was formed by the old couple of Taketori together.
There used to be such a famous saying: Raise a glass to invite the bright moon. The shadow becomes a trio. Now this scene can be used to knock on the bright moon, and there are only two people in the shadow!
Well, this brand-new phrase aptly reflects the bleak state of the separation between the protagonist Penglai Mountain Kaguya and the husband and wife of Taketori, who has nurtured him. In the words, the bright moon creates a bright and beautiful atmosphere, but the action of knocking makes this environment cold all of a sudden.
And the word "only" in the second half of the sentence plays the role of the finishing touch-only. i.e. only, only two people. It is said that it is not only the two Taketori couples who were left after the parting of Kaguya in Penglai Mountain, but also describes that after the words are spoken, it is no longer possible to get close to each other.
The double meaning vividly shows the parting but reluctant feelings of the protagonist Penglai Mountain Kaguya, and here you can clearly feel the lyricist's deep perception of this situation.
"Even if you leave, you are still our child. That will never change. The old woman Taketori stepped forward and bent down to help her child, whom she had cherished for more than ten years, "We are not by your side, but we must pay attention to our bodies!" You've been smart since you were a kid, but there's always someone better than you, so be careful and don't be bullied. When the time comes, I'll talk to you about you! ”
Between the words, there was already a choked sound.
"Yes, Mother!"
Feel the warmth of your hands. For the first time, Penglai Mountain Kaguya shed tears of emotion after being sensible, so I would be like this? However, such a feeling...... It's just not annoying!
"Kaguya, your mother is right, we are also old. Perhaps, perhaps, the next time you come back, we will be long gone. Taketori turned his back to the two of them. But anyone could see the trembling of his shoulders, "Originally, I always hoped that you could have a good home, so that we could rest assured." Who knew you were going back to heaven so soon......
I don't know what you do in heaven. But it's not something we mortals can imagine. It's just, just come back if you're tired. I think my wife and I would still be here at that time, although it may not be like it is now. ”
"I will, Father."
Penglai Mountain Kaguya nodded.
Many years later, next to the bamboo forest where Kaguya Hime appeared, there was a small mound that no one cared about, and a stone tablet was erected in front of it, which read: The tomb of Mr. and Mrs. Taketori, and the epitaph was: Landing is home.
It turned out that a few years after the departure of Mt. Takerai, Mr. and Mrs. Taketori had given all their property to those who were poor, leaving only a little money for the coffin.
"Hmph, I don't believe that the Moon Immortal can take Kaguya Ji away!"
Enraged, the Emperor sent a team of soldiers to be stationed around the Taketori house to protect Kaguya from being taken away by the Moon Messenger. However, the Taketori couple, who believed in the gods and Buddhas, thought that they were just doing useless work, and the events that followed confirmed this.
Since Yayi Yongrin had met Kaguya in advance, the other Moon Messengers didn't know about it, and even if they did, they wouldn't say anything—what if they knew that the other party was trying to get their heads?
On the night of the full moon, the top of the bamboo forest. At this time, the moon was already frighteningly full, as if to facilitate the movement of the moonmen, and the moon felt as if it was close at hand, much larger and brighter than usual.
At midnight, a strong dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sky above everyone, and if you barely open your eyes to observe, you will see a strange cloud floating above, and on the cloud stands a group of golden moon people, of course, in the eyes of the people on the earth, it should be the moon immortals.
Faced with this incomprehensible and strange scene, the soldiers sent by the emperor all stepped back one by one. Only a few soldiers were brave enough to draw their bows and arrows to shoot down the immortals, but the shafts of the arrows all changed direction and fell lightly to the ground like weightless feathers.
In the middle of all the immortals, Bayi Yonglin said to Penglai Mountain Huiye: "You have been in the world for a long time, and your body is stained with the filth of the people on the earth, so take some medicine first." ”
The emissary of the month next to him didn't mean to object when he heard this, after all, the "filth" on the ground was really loud for them moon people. On the moon, there is even a clear rule that everyone is not allowed to touch the filth on the ground, and violators will be severely punished.
The rules of the Moon Capital are very strict, you must know that even Kaguya was going to be executed at that time, but because she knocked the medicine into the best Penglai medicine in the medicine, and became an immortal body, the death penalty was meaningless to her.
As a last resort, the Moon Capital banished him to Earth.
On the other hand, the mastery of the Eight Meanings Yonglin's medical skills is well known in the Moon Capital, and the Moon Messengers naturally have no doubts about this.
"I understand."
Taking the potion bottle handed by Bayi Yonglin, Penglai Shan Huiye pretended to swallow the potion with his cuffs.
"So, please hit the road."
"Can you wait? I want to write a letter. ”
The Moon Emissaries all looked at Bayi Yonglin, only to see her frowning, but fortunately she nodded in the end.
"All right, but please don't be too slow, Your Highness Princess."
"I understand."
Under everyone's gaze, Penglai Shan Kaguya returned to the boudoir where he had lived for many years as planned, took out the letter that had been prepared and put it on the table, and pressed the potion bottle on the cuff on the letter. Counting the time, when it was almost time for her to walk out of the room, she floated into the air with a sad face, and gradually disappeared from people's sight with the Moon Messengers.
When it was about the same time, a mist suddenly rolled out of the sky, which happened to obscure the path that people had to take to look at the moon, and also obscured a few small black dots in it.
"I'm sorry, for Kaguya's sake, you're going to die."
Spit out these words lightly, but she didn't see Bayi Yonglin make a move, and the moon messengers around her all fell down as if they were evil.
"When did you do it, Yonglin?"
"When it was first determined who the Moon Messenger was."
"Oh." Penglai Shan Kaguya nodded, but she quickly realized that something was wrong.
"Wait, when you were sure who the Moon Messenger was?"
"yes, what's wrong, princess?"
"No, no, no, shouldn't it be after the plan?"
"That's? From the very beginning, I was sure that Her Royal Highness would choose to flee. ”
Bayi Yonglin smiled at her.
"In the beginning?! Then what were you pretending to ask for privately? ”
"Hmm, probably to cooperate with Her Royal Highness the Princess, right?"
Tilted his head, Bayi Yonglin said that the aunt is also very cute!
"Well, it's the head of the moon!"
"Hehe~"
