"Hide! Come on, drill a small hole to the right. ”

In front of me, there was another row of shadows passing by silently and quickly, like a silent movie fast-forwarding. It's so dangerous, if it weren't for the female ghost whispering a reminder, I would have to be hit by them!

It seems that this road is a passageway, and perhaps it is possible to get out by following the way they came. Get out? I began to hesitate, I had entered the ghost gate by mistake to break into this place, and even if I couldn't get out of the ghost gate, I still had to go around in circles. The outside is more open and bright, making it easier to spot.

As if seeing my hesitation, the female ghost whispered, "Do you want to continue?" ”

"Is there a way to get me out of the hell?"

"After dawn, the ghost gate will disappear, and the two worlds of yin and yang will be separated."

"I still can't get out before this, so in that case, it's better to hide here."

Move a little to the right along the cave wall to leave the passage, and since you are hiding, then hide in a place where the ghosts do not pass through, and survive the night. After dawn, the two realms will be separated, and the ghosts will not see me, so they will go to Qingming.

As the minutes ticked by, we moved forward with bated breath and a faint light ahead. The faint green light, after a hole was eeriely opened, green candles burned at intervals in this passage, and the faint green candlelight haloed a pale green circle of light, making people dizzy. The melted green wax "tick-tock" dripped down, and the echo continued to echo in the cave, and the silence was eerily silent.

"Ahh

The female ghost was pulled down by the hole, and I panicked to grab her hand, but I couldn't catch it. Luckily, her hands clung to the ground after passing through mine and didn't sink completely.

"What to do, I can't hold your hand!"

"Don't bother it, there is a difference between people and ghosts, run away by yourself!"

"No!" I was so anxious that I almost cried, I couldn't catch her at all. But what if you can't watch her being dragged down? When his hand touched it, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stretched out the branch he had just touched: "Is it okay to have a branch?" ”

"Grab it, I'll pull you up!"

Believe me, I'll get you back!" Work hard, it's so hard to pull out, don't give up, honey worm, you can!

"Run!" As soon as the female ghost came out of the ground, she pulled a branch and led me away. Behind her, the huge green worm came out of the burrow where the female ghost came out, with red eyes, and opened its bloody mouth at us. Ahead, a large green worm emerged from the hole to intercept its path.

The female ghost hurriedly said: "You go forward and go through it!" ”

"Is that okay?"

"Ghost worms are to you what I am to you, ghosts and worms only eat ghosts."

"Hold on!" As soon as I gritted my teeth, I was dead before and after, so I might as well give it a go. rushed forward, with layers of green in front of him, and the branches in his hands tightened: the female ghost was stuck outside the body of the ghost insect!

"I'm going to eat you!"

The ghost insect condescendingly stretched out its front tentacles, and saw that it was about to touch the female ghost.

I closed my eyes and passed the mantra through the branches, hoping that what Haruhi had taught me would come in handy. "Ahh The front tentacles of the ghost insects shattered one after another the second they touched the female ghost. It's time to do it now—"Run!" "I chanted the incantation and pulled the female ghost forward, unimpeded through the layers of green, and finally escaped through the body of the ghost insect.

"Damn!"

The ghost insect turned around sharply, and all the large and small ghost insects behind him emerged from the ground. The female ghost and I have fled to another dark tunnel. Looking back, in the green candlelight, they were densely parked in the air and stared at us.

"Without the ghost fire, they would die. Let's go, they won't be chasing. ”

The branch in my hand moved forward, and I was pulled forward by the branch, which was much easier. In the passage of the black hole, I can sense the existence of the female ghost because of it.

After walking in the dark for a while, my mood finally calmed down. Confused and pulled forward by the branches, it will be fine after tonight. Unfortunately, the darkness in the cave is so constant that I can't estimate the time.

Just as I was thinking about it, the branch in my hand suddenly flew backwards, and I fell to the ground. The white shadow in front of him was illusory, and the female ghost floated out.

Dangerous! Before I could shout, a row of shadows passed in front of me, and the figure of the female ghost disappeared.

"Caught, haha, go back and get the reward."

The empty hole echoed with this sentence, the female ghost she was for...... Protect me. I bowed my head sadly, if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have shown up to distract them, she wouldn't have died in vain. What a failure I am! In the end, she still couldn't save her, and she was left alone.

"Big brother, I always feel like someone."

"How could it be. I see you're crazy if you want to eat the living. ”

"Let's go slowly, maybe someone really can't tell."

"If we catch someone, we'll share the food and invite me to drink."

"No problem."

Sounds come from far and near. Not good! There were alarm bells in my heart, and I had a very bad premonition. There is no female ghost to help me, and now I don't dare to act rashly, and I am alone and at a loss.

"Wow - see, big brother, there really is someone!"

A ghostly light hit his face, dazzling. I half-opened my eyes, and they had come to me with hunger and thirst in their eyes.

"You can't escape."

"Ahh narrowly dodging the outstretched claws, he stumbled forward. The ghost behind him chased after him. In terms of speed, I'm definitely not as good as a ghost. All I can do is keep going around and let them find me and delay for a while.

"I see you!"

An eerie voice came from behind him, and his green eyes were bright in the dark.

What to do? I have no escape! This tunnel is straight! I don't want to be caught by it like this! Running before the brain reacts, my mind is blank and I don't know where to go, and I am panicking-

Hand, suddenly grabbed! With a force, I turned to the right violently, and was pressed against the wall of the cave by my side, and one hand covered me in time to make me unable to move. The heart, fluttering and beating wildly, the beating heartbeat sound was sealed in the body, suffocating my chest and shortness of breath.

A shadow swept by on the left, and the hand holding me loosened slightly, and I was finally able to catch my breath, almost suffocating. A faint scent of grass came, and a familiar white figure came. I couldn't help but whisper: "Qingming? ”

"Don't move!"

Another shadow passed by very quickly, and Qingming let go of me: "It's okay." ”

"Is it really you?"

I looked up and saw the familiar face I was so desperate for that I almost burst into tears—wasn't it a hallucination?

"You're scared, aren't you?"

Qingming smiled, and her long narrow eyes carried a familiar warmth, which gave me inexplicable peace of mind. The heart calmed down all at once. Great, in my most overwhelmed moment, Sunny ...... There you are......

In the dim light, there was a faint white light around Qingming's body, and the wide white hunting clothes had a supernatural feeling, as if an unusual force was floating. No, it was the light on Qingming's body that changed the light, and it was originally dark here!

I was surprised: "Qingming, you ......"

"You've noticed the changes in me, too. Tonight happens to be another lunar eclipse, and it is inevitable that there will be demonic energy on the body. Qingming smiled helplessly, "Let's go, Boya and I are separated, we have to find him as soon as possible." ”

Qingming's slightly drooping eyes just now smiled unnaturally, as if she was very lost. Harumi's mother, Ge Yehara, was a fox fairy who had been practicing in the Shinta Forest in Izumi Province (now Osaka) for many years, but because Harumi's father, the great chef Abe Yoshisai, was rescued, she transformed into a human and came to Yoshisai to repay her kindness and give birth to Harumi. When Qingming was five years old, he unexpectedly saw his mother's original form as a fox. Ge Ye then left his weeping young son and returned to the forest. "If you miss it, come and find it...... In the deepest part of Izumi, the Shinta Forest, Kuzuha ......" is a song that is repeatedly sung, and that is the last words of a mother to her child. After following this song, she will be able to meet her mother in the secret place of the forest again and inherit the powerful spiritual power. Qingming, who has practiced for many years, has naturally inherited half of the demon blood, and he can't become the "white fox boy" that people respect and fear like us. Is it because of this reason that he is a little sad and lonely? How can I comfort him?

As soon as the palms of my hands warmed, a pair of slender and warm hands gently covered the back of my hand and pulled my hand. Qingming led me forward, very naturally.

The pupils suddenly dilated, excited: "Qingming, you ......"

I couldn't believe that he would take my hand and he didn't hesitate! He's holding me! Is it really holding hands?

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

I stammered, joy welling up in my heart. I lowered my head to prevent him from seeing the involuntary smile on the corner of my mouth, and watched him and my hand inseparable with a smile, cheering in the bottom of my heart, secretly rejoicing, and my heart was full of mellow happiness.

"Oops, the demonic aura on our body is not good for us. In case it is discovered...... A large number of youkai will be lured over. ”

Qingming's voice suddenly became tense, and he pulled me into another cave. I just kept my head down and giggled as I watched his hand and mine for a moment, following his hand and peeking with him. Not only did he not feel dangerous, but he felt much more at ease, without the slightest fear or worry.

With Qingming by my side, I am not afraid, not confused. Even though I knew that Haruai alone would not be able to fight against the many youkai here, and no matter how good he was, he would not be able to withstand such a number, I still didn't have any worries. Even if the youkai surround us, as long as he is still around, he has nothing to worry about. By his side, no matter what happens, he will feel at ease. This is the irreplaceable feeling that Qingming brings to me. Besides, I can't even rejoice right now.

"Honey worm, why aren't you scared at all?"

On the contrary, Qingming thought it was strange.

"No, let's find Boya-sama, I'm worried about ......"

I smiled and shook my head. As long as you're with Qingming, you're fearless.

"Ahh

The cave legend came from Boya's exclamation.

"Boya!"

Unsuspecting, his hands were suddenly empty. Qingming instantly withdrew his hand and ran towards the source of the sound. I was left alone in the same place, and there was no clear figure around me.

"He's still having a fever!"

Qingming's voice seemed to float from far away, worried, anxious, and eager.

Fingertips, there is still a clear temperature.

A gust of wind blew, and the temperature on his hands disappeared in an instant.

Hands, empty ......

The heart is also empty......

The phrase "Save Lord Boya!! The words are still stuck in the throat......

I lowered my head and looked at my empty hands in disappointment, and sadness came to my heart at the same time. Don't cry! I bit my lower lip and tried not to cry.

Source Boya is more important than me......

Is it more important than me?

Why do I suddenly feel so aggrieved? He still had a fever, but ...... Sunny ...... I also...... Fever......

Close your eyes and don't let the tears fall, and say it silently in your heart:

Source Boya is more important than me......

I was left alone in the dark cave, fumbling my way forward alone, stubbornly not letting tears flow in the dark.

"Ahh He ignored me and left me to find Yuan Boya. For him, Yuan Boya is the most important, more important than me.

...... "Source Boya is important to you. ”……

...... "I...... The only thing that can't be lost...... It's you ............

I kept repeating in my mind Qingyin's words to Harumi in "Onmyoji", Harumaki's crying and confession when Gen Boya was dying, and Harumi went to protect Heiankyo for Gen Boya. I can't help but think of the later generations who defined their relationship as love, in the movie, in the fandom, they are always a couple.

Some netizens even speculated that Qingming guarded Ping'an City because of Yuan Boya. Because Gen Boya is responsible for the security of Heianjo, because Gen Boya will not be indifferent to ghosts that endanger humans, and because the survival of Heiankyo is related to the safety of Gen Boya, so Harumi, who has always been indifferent, changed his original life trajectory and was willing to protect his beloved - Gen Boya with his life. Everything he does, it's for him......

Tears unconsciously filled his eyes. I shook my head vigorously to stop myself from thinking any further, and wiped it indiscriminately, and the back of my hand was already wet. They are not like this, not like this, not ......

Qingming is not because of Yuan Boya......

How can I believe that? The true sadness in my heart has long since proved that this is true, and they have been together long before I met Qingming. They met before me, knew each other before me, and died with me before my husband, so what reason do I have to prove that it was my delusion?

Without Qingming by my side, I should be stronger. Knowing that he would not abandon Yuan Boya, he always knew that Yuan Boya was more important than me, didn't he already know it, why is he so sad at this moment?

Barely standing up, the pain in my feet was far less than the pain in my heart. I can do it alone, and I can do it without a sunny day......

I want to go out on my own, not by Qingming. Holding on to the wall, I limped and moved slowly, but no matter how I walked, I couldn't find an exit. Except for the darkness and the darkness, as if there is no end to it.
