As for how Mei Hong changed from a noble girl of the Fujiwara family in the Heian period of Japan to a Penglai immortal, Feng Longde can also understand a rough idea through the oriental ones and two settings in the outside world: her father, Fujiwara Bubi, who already has many wives and concubines and children, and four other noble children with the same prominent status proposed to a girl who was about the same age and slim as her, but they were all distressed and humiliated by the other party's problems, and that girl was either someone else, or had already drunk the Penglai immortal medicine and violated the taboo of the Moon Capital、And because of this, the moon princess of Japan who was exiled to the earth.,Mt. Horai Kaguya.。

After learning that her father was humiliated by the girl, the young girl was always hostile to Kaguya, which is the beginning of why she hated Kaguya for so long, and later, when she learned that the other party was going back to the moon, she thought about how to avenge her father. However, it's a pity that Mei Hong didn't get close to Kaguya after a lot of effort, and finally got close and let the other party escape in time, so she could only look at the moon in the night sky and be helpless.

Although he couldn't take revenge with his own hands, Mei Hong still wanted to find a way to take revenge on Kaguya in other ways, so he set his sights on the medicine pot that Kaguya left for Lieutenant General Qin Cha to transfer to the emperor before Kaguya returned to the moon, and wanted to take it for himself; For unknown reasons, he discarded the pot on the top of Mt. Fuji and left.

So, Mei Hong got her hands on the pot so easily, and drank all the liquid in it—she thought Kaguya would leave it to the Emperor. It can't be something poisonous or bad, it must be a precious potion or other good thing that is extremely cherished, since the emperor doesn't want to leave it here, then it will be convenient for her to move, and if she drinks it, it should only be good for herself, and it can be regarded as a small revenge on Kaguya.

It turns out. At that time, Mei Hong's thought was still too simple: if the medicine pot contained a really good thing, then why didn't the emperor drink it himself or collect it himself, but sent Lieutenant General Qin to lead a large group of people to throw it on the top of Mount Fuji? Even if it was a good thing, then if the emperor still did it, there must be another hidden reason.

There is no need to say much about what happened later - what was contained in this mysterious and forbidden medicine pot was the Penglai immortal medicine, but Meihong drank it and became an immortal existence like Kaguya.

The story in which Mei Hong was personally involved is obviously true, and it has also become the source of the plot of the early Japanese literary work "The Tale of Taketori": judging by the time when "The Tale of Taketori" was created. Feng Longde was shocked to find that Mei Hong's current age is conservatively estimated to be 1,300 years old

Feng Longde, who learned about these things, could more or less understand Mei Hong's feelings, and the feeling of having to stay away from his family and hometown and wander alone in the world for thousands of years would definitely make any mentally normal person shudder, and there was no need to be surprised by what Mei Hong had told before: under that kind of mental oppression, no matter how reasonable a person is, he will become abnormal for a long time.

"yes, it's good to be alive—I didn't realize that until more than a thousand years of living in a daze. Mei Hong smiled slightly. His expression softened, "When I first came to Gensokyo. I was really shocked when I saw Kaguya in the Lost Bamboo Forest, but nothing happened, I thought I would rush up and grab her by the neck and ask about all this, or something, but I laughed and laughed so much that tears came out of my eyes. ”

"Why?" Feng Longde asked, feeling that according to common sense, Mei Hong had been aggrieved for more than a thousand years. It should start tearing up the first second you put on the mask.

"When you've lived alone for more than a thousand years, you'll find how blessed you are to meet someone you know, even if she's your enemy or even the culprit behind it. Mei Hong closed her eyes. There was still that faint smile at the corner of her mouth, "My body became like this because of the Penglai immortal medicine left by Kaguya, and she originally belonged to the moon, and she finally ruthlessly abandoned her hometown, and wandered in the world for a long time like me, perhaps, this is the revenge of fate in the underworld? If this is the case, then fate itself will avenge me for me, why should I continue to dwell on this matter?" Speaking of this, Mei Hong tilted her head and shrugged her shoulders, looking a little self-deprecating," Speaking of which, in fact, Kaguya is also a person who can't help but look for a place to stay, and she always feels a little discouraged, it turns out that her bastard is still the same kind of person as me. ”

"Do you sympathize with each other?" Feng Longde rubbed his chin with his left hand and rested his right hand flat on the table, "But I occasionally heard about your situation from Huiyin, you are still fighting with Kazuya almost every day, and you are the immortal Penglai who can't die, so it is estimated that it will not be a problem to fight to the end of the world." ”

"That's right, Kaguya and I will fight each other whenever we have free time and try to kill each other with all our might. Mei Hong nodded, looking quite calm, "Although it's the same as you said, Kaguya and I are now the same kind of people, and we also have a little sympathy for each other, but I still hate Kaguya, and that guy from Yayi Yongrin, I don't like it either—if it weren't for Kaguya's humiliation and stumping my father, Or if Bayi Yonglin made Penglai Immortal Medicine, my life wouldn't have become what it is now, and whether it was me, or that bastard Kaguya, that guy from Bayi Yonglin might also want to find a way to die. ”

"After going through so many things, you should have seen a lot of things. Then why do you still want to die?" Feng Longde asked curiously, he didn't quite understand what Mei Hong wanted to express.

"Finding a way to make an immortal existence like Penglai Immortal die, this is not only the research that Yayi Yonglin is currently doing, but also the reason why Kaguya and I are fighting each other. Mei Hong waved her hand, "Kaguya and I will both want to get rid of each other, but neither of us will die until now." And even if I find a way to die, I'll continue to live for a while before I think about whether I die or not - I'm living a full day here, fighting Kaguya, talking to Huiyin, or secretly helping the human inhabitants. In this place far away from the mortal world, for me, this place is no different from the real Penglai Pure Land. ”

"While I feel that it is good to be alive, I am also looking for a way to die?" Feng Longde shook his head, he felt that his IQ was a little insufficient. "Forgive me for being stupid and not quite understanding"

"Feng Longde, I actually envy you. Looking at the bewildered Feng Longde, her sister's red eyes revealed a hint of yearning, "You and your sister, and your subordinates can live forever because of their different monster identities, but at the same time, they will die unexpectedly due to natural and man-made disasters, this is where I envy you, or you: you know that you will die." I don't know when and why, so you will cherish your life even more. And will seize the time to pursue what they want, as well as value each other, in case they leave regrets when they die, for the existence of immortality, this is a kind of happiness that will even make people jealous!"

"Probably, I was born crying loudly, and I died in the weeping of the people. It's ironic that this kind of ordinary thing is the most envied thing for the immortal. Feng Longde said after being silent for a while, he sighed, "Thank you, Sister Hong." You're willing to talk to an outsider for the first time about so many personal things, and I've figured out a lot of questions from it, thank you for retaining. ”

"Nothing to thank. Mei Hong waved her hand indifferently, "Except for Huiyin, you are the first person I will tell me about the past, because you will give me that strange sense of familiarity, and although you look cold, your heart is hot." ”

"Perhaps. Feng Longde said lightly, "After chatting for so long, what are you going to do? Let me admit that it is a Penglai immortal? A Penglai immortal who is really going to die? This joke is cold enough and not suitable for winter." ”

"It's true that you're not an immortal in Penglai, what I want to say is that you can be considered my companion in a sense, because you can feel that familiarity among the immortals of Penglai, and you also have it. Mei Hong shook her head, "Although Huiyin didn't tell me, I know very well that there is still a Penglai immortal in the world, but he has only been a few decades since he transformed from an ordinary human man to a Penglai immortal, and he lives a life that is no different from ordinary human residents, so I naturally have no qualifications to disturb the life of a fellow human who can live a peaceful and happy life, so Huiyin still thinks that I don't know that there is a Penglai immortal living in the world." ”

Feng Longde: "Sister Hong's words reminded him that there was indeed a Penglai immortal living in the world, but he had also been in the Teutonic camp for a long time recently, and he was Adolf

"Adolf" Feng Longde felt that he couldn't suppress the grievances in his heart, and he hurriedly asked Mei Hong, "Does he know or have seen you?"

"I've seen it, I happened to meet it when I went to the village to buy daily necessities, and it was because of this that I knew that there was a Penglai immortal in the village. Mei Hong nodded, "But he obviously didn't know that he was the same as me, because he didn't know how to feel that strange familiarity - he just gave me a strange look at me at the time and didn't pay any attention to it, and besides, although he would also attend the banquet at Hakurei Shrine, he only knew that I was a 'youkai', and he didn't think that he and I would be the same kind of person at all." ”

It seems that although Mei Hong knows that Adolf is an immortal in Penglai, she doesn't know that Adolf's daughter Lisa is too, and Adolf's father and daughter don't know that they are Mei Hong's kind. Feng Longde thought.

"Having said so much" Mei Hong stood up, her fiery red eyes staring at Feng Longde intently: "Feng Longde, can we be companions?"

"What?" Feng Longde felt that the topic jumped a little bit, and he almost didn't react, "Companion?"

"That's right, people who can talk to each other, laugh together, and fight with each other. Mei Hong propped up the table with her hands, looking like a tiger about to pounce, "Feng Longde, are you willing to be my companion?"

"Yes. ”

Feng Longde's short and quick answer made Mei Hong stunned, she was already mentally prepared for his refusal, but she didn't expect Feng Longde to be so refreshing: "Really?"

"Yes. Feng Longde nodded, he shrugged his shoulders: "It turns out that Hui Yin said in the past that you don't need to let me meet you, from now on to now, as long as I meet her, she will inevitably be verbose with such a sentence It is estimated that Hui Yin has also said something similar to you, right?

"Thank you. After a moment of silence, Mei Hong replied softly, and then smiled easily, "Even in Gensokyo, the only one who can be considered friends with me is Huiyin, and other youkai or humans are either wary or frightened of me, and even those who don't value these are almost impossible to communicate with me. ”

"There's nothing wrong with being a companion, whether it's a human or a monster, whether it's a deceased or a prototype, you all need to have your own friends, and no intelligent life will live alone. Feng Longde also smiled, but his face was a little stiff and looked a little reluctant.

Standing up with his hand on the bamboo table, Feng Longde solemnly stretched out his right hand to Mei Hong: "Please advise." ”

Mei Hong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and also stretched out her right hand and shook it tightly: "Please advise." (To be continued.) )
