24. Before Yuzao (6)

"Honey worms!"

Abe's voice appeared, interrupting our silence.

"Sunny—"

Before I finished my words, Tamamo dodged and grabbed me into the air and confronted Abe Harumi.

"Don't come here!"

I'm completely hostage!

Yes, you heard it right, I called Haruaki "Haruaki Abe" and I was mad at him!

Now, I have become a shield for the confrontation between them, and whoever strikes first must be the one who is injured!

Qingming Yufeng turned cold: "Don't be obsessed with it anymore before Yuzao!" Hurry up and hand over the Emperor's soul! ”

"Hmph, he broke my heart, don't think I'll be kind to him again!" Yuzao snorted coldly in front of me, and grabbed me and pushed it forward, "You don't care about her life or death?" ”

"You ......"

Harumi and I glanced at each other, and turned their gaze angrily to Tamamo.

"Qingming, don't forget, no matter how powerful you are, you are always a person. And I am a nine-tailed fox who has practiced for thousands of years. ”

Tamamo is full of confidence in front of him, and he doesn't take Qingming in his eyes at all. Yes, there is a reason for pride in front of Tamamo, and Harumi is still a person, an ordinary person.

"The fox demon who has practiced for thousands of years has also been defeated at the hands of the emperor?"

The corners of Qingming's mouth curled, and a sarcastic smile was raised.

Yuzao was stunned for a moment, his eyes were stagnant, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes. At this moment of lightning, Qingming quickly threw a folding fan, until it reached the front of Tamamo-

After all, he ignored my life and death......

"Ahh Qingming, you don't want to ......."

Her right hand was about to attack me and take my life, but Qingming quickly rushed to show her spirit bead before her.

As soon as the spirit bead appeared, the golden light flashed, "Ah" She was slammed back and showed her nine-tailed golden-faced fox tail, and her left hand still grabbed me and wanted to fight me back.

In such a hurry, Qingming hurriedly recited a spell, and suddenly she was hit by Qingming to her left hand, and suddenly let go of me and fled backwards.

I fell to the ground hard, and Harumi didn't care that I was catching up with Tamamo. Green and white shadows were staggered, and the golden tail swept east and west and exploded through the stone wall several places.

With a loud "boom", Tamamo was injured and stood at the end of the stone cave. The cave exploded, unobstructed, and she returned to her human form, a trickle of blood dripping from her right arm, which was bewitching and eerie.

"The Emperor sent you?"

Not to be outdone, her eyes were so sad that I felt pity.

"Yes."

"Hahahaha......"

She looked up to the sky and smiled, crazy as madness. There were tears between the eyebrows and eyes, and countless tears fell one after another. Halfway through, she finally calmed down.

"I didn't expect him to be so desperate!" She opened her mouth and said slowly, there was hatred between her eyebrows, and it gradually became clear, and between her eyebrows and eyes was a kind of unparalleled beauty and desolation, as if she had given up escaping and stood quietly in front of Qingming.

"Go back and tell him that I, Daji, resent His Majesty the Emperor, and would like to turn into a killing stone and curse Heian City and his people for the rest of my life!"

After saying a word, her mind was decided, she gritted her teeth and turned around, and a terrible long cry pierced the sky-

The last clear face in front of Tamamo in memory no longer exists......

The green shredded yarn swirled and fell, scattering hairpins all over the ground, and she gave up the chance to escape, turning into a killing stone on the spot, cursing His Majesty the Emperor and his people.

Tamamo front ......

The beautiful woman......

The kind Daji who saved me......

"Honey Worm"

Qingming walked up to me to check if I was hurt.

"You let go!"

I shook his hand away.

There is no way to vent his grief and indignation, and he turns into a grudge against him.

"Abe Haruaki, you've gone too far!"

I called him by his full name, and he was visibly stunned.

After a long time, the corners of his lips hooked up a bitter smile, and his narrow phoenix eyes were no longer clear: "Do you think that man doesn't know?" ”

"What do you mean?"

I couldn't believe it, it felt like I had been beaten in the face.

Qingming stopped explaining, became more and more bitter, and looked at me quietly.

That's right, as the supreme ruler of Heiankyo, how could he not understand Yin-Yang in this chaotic era where people and ghosts live together? He knew about Tamamo from the beginning, he brought her back to the palace, and he wanted to make her the middle palace, but he was recognized. So, he defeated her for the sake of power, and he drove her to death.

My tears were pouring down, and the truth was so glaring in front of me. It turns out that all love is no match for the word "right", which is so fragile.

"Honey worm, you ......"

Qingming took a step forward worriedly, and her eyes were unbearable.

"It turns out that you also knew everything from the beginning."

“……”

He bowed his head in silence, and there was only silence between heaven and earth.

When did he and I, who were standing across from us, start to become so strangers and so silent. The air seemed to freeze, no more breathing, no more sadness.

After a long time, I said, "I misread you, I thought that at least you would be different from them." When I was a child, my idol would be different from the people who were greedy for power in the Heian period, and I thought that you would have a light heart for the world, so it turned out to be ...... You're still on the Emperor's side. ”

Qingming's pupils suddenly widened, and he looked at me with a solemn and vaguely painful expression. I didn't see any of this, and I couldn't help but take a step back, tears blurring everything in front of me.

"So you know everything, only I'm like a fool."

Like you like a fool......

Stupid as a fool......

I cried and ran away—

"Honey worms!"

I shook off his hand and shouted with all my might:

"You let go, Haruaki Abe!"

He was visibly stunned, and his grip on my hand loosened a little.

When he lost his mind, I decisively withdrew my hand and resolutely left.

The hand was held again—

Impatient: "You let go-"

With a force, he pulled me tight and threw herself into his arms, protecting me fiercely.

"You let go!"

I struggled desperately. But in any case, he did not relax in the slightest.

"Wow-"

A mouthful of blood filled the air, and his body suddenly softened, and his weight was all pressed on me.

"What's wrong with you, Qingming?"

I panicked and quickly let him sit down. There was still a faint trace of blood on his rouge lips, his narrow eyes narrowed, and his face turned pale.

"What's wrong with you, don't scare me."

I wiped a handful of tears from my eyes, and I said I hated him for being fake. I really don't want anything to happen to him.

He weakly pushed me away: "Run, honey worm......"

"What the hell is going on!"

"Fool, don't you know that the killing stone is poisonous?"

He smiled, his lips reminiscent of the familiar pampering of a long time ago. Then, he jerked me away—

When I fell to the ground, one last smile crossed his lips.

"Qingming!"

Before I could pounce, he spread out the fan with his backhand, and the pentagram appeared, trapping him and the killing stone inside. What I can touch...... There are only enchantments.

"Sunny ......"

My tears are blurred, all blame me, blame me, it's me who is too willful. I know that the killing stone is poisonous, and those who are infected with the venom will bleed to death. But I only cared about arguing with him, ignoring this, and causing him to get hurt for me.

Seeing that the killing stone was constantly spraying, and the venom of the ink was splashing everywhere, and it could fall on him at any time, but I couldn't do anything about it. Only desperately beating the enchantment, but his enchantment ...... So strict and so dead.

"Qingming, you're going to kill yourself like this! Let me in...... Please...... Let me in......"

I cried and pleaded, no matter how I beat his barrier, I never let up. Seeing another puddle of venom fall on him, and the snow-white hunting clothes were soaked with blood, his heart was painful and anxious, and he was so anxious that tears broke out.

Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and he collapsed to the ground, the corners of his lips were chapped and white, only his eyes were still clear: "I won't let you in, no matter how much you shout, it's useless." Promise me to go to Boya and survive well. ”

"Nope! No! I shook my head desperately, big tears falling, "You died for me, how can I live alone with peace of mind." If you die, I'll pull myself to be your funeral with you! ”

He smiled, his eyes drifting, and there was not even a trace of color on his pale face. Only the lips moved weakly, evoking a sense of pride: "I saved your life, so ...... Must survive. ”

Gradually, there was no sound. His life leaked like an hourglass, and there was no longer a trace of life. Only left a beautiful face, slender thick eyebrows, narrow phoenix eyes, thin lips, and snow-like skin.

"Sunny ...... Sunny ......"

I covered myself for fear of crying. The man in the white clothes of a thousand years ago, the legendary and elegant onmyoji like a god, gave his life to me.

I always thought that human life would not be so fragile. always thought that the hero of the story would definitely live to the end, just like the legendary "immortality" theorem. But I ignored that the Onmyoji is also a human being, and no matter how powerful he is, he will inevitably be born, old, sick and die of flesh and blood.

His existence is a bright light in Heiankyo thousands of years ago; His existence is a breeze under feudal superstition; His presence is a legend in my childhood adoration.

He shouldn't have died, he was radiant, but because of my willfulness and because of my unreasonableness, he lost his life.

I can't believe what's happening right in front of me, history shouldn't be like this......

Sunny ...... How could he...... How could he die so early?

The power of the barrier was gone, just as Qingming's life was gone, leaving no trace. Seeing him fall in front of me, I scrambled over and picked him up and put him on my lap. At that moment, I forgot to flee, and forgot that the attack of the Killing Stone was still there. I only think about being with him and dying with him.

The attack of the Killing Stone continued, holding Qingming's cold body, his blood soaking my layers of clothes. The beautiful twelve clothes were stained with filth, and in the sunlight my face could no longer tell whether it was tears or blood.

It seems that only the two of us are left in heaven and earth, and it seems that only we are left to meet in Huangquan.

Holding Qingming's hand, interlocking his fingers, gazing at his handsome silhouette like a carving, the timidity in his heart is no longer there.

No matter where you are, the honey worm will be with you. Maybe you still have Boya in your heart, but ...... The honey worm has only you in its heart.

Honey worms are willing to accompany you...... Let's go to Huangquan together.

The blazing sun bakes our bodies, all the hustle and bustle seems to be gone, the world is quiet, and even the attack of the killing stone is not felt.

Consciousness fades away......

In the haze, it seemed that the voice of Yuan Boya was heard. It seems to come from a distant place, and it seems to be the call of another world......
