Chapter Twenty-Four: The Speed at which Cherry Blossoms Fall
For thousands of years ago, Yayi Yongrindu and Kaguya lived in isolation in the Lost Bamboo Forest, until one day a guest from Gensokyo broke the peace.
After a thousand years, Bayi Yonglin once again came out of the lost bamboo forest and looked at the current world, and then, she was stunned.
This world called Gensokyo, a world that is known as the eternal paradise of youkai, is one no matter how you look at it, and it lives up to its name...... Ironclad fortress.
This world, named Gensokyo, has plenty of spiritual power and enough "fear" for youkai to survive, in other words, enough humans.
It connects the underworld, there is the top sky, the old hell, the other side, and even as long as the realm monster Yakumo Purple makes a move, the road to the moon can be easily opened.
In short, there is one way to any other world from Gensokyo, except for the human world outside.
Looking around, the combat power is even more amazing, all kinds of old generation of big monsters, the Tengu clan of the Monster Mountain, the ghost tribe of the old hell, as well as the flower tyrant of the Sunflower Field and the vampires of the emerging force Red Devil Pavilion.
In addition, there is even the Hades on the other side and the Grim Reaper under his command, not to mention the undead princess who is close friends with her and controls the entire underworld and its countless undead spirits.
And the last realm youkai Yakumo Murasaki and the shrine maidens of Hakurei Shrine are even more important.
One is a monster that can be compared to a god just by virtue of its own ability, and the other is the first strange thing in history that never serves a god and has no power of faith, but can surpass the gods.
So far, Yayi Yonglin has not understood what the power of the Hirori witch is, unlike the power of demons and the power of faith, but he can use this power to fight with himself.
Even if the opponent's strength is more mature, it seems not impossible to fight a close duel with yourself in the limit state.
can be five or five with the primordial gods, so what is the difference between dealing with ordinary gods and chopping melons and vegetables?
Yayi Yonglin can assert that if Yakumo Zi used this lineup to go to the moon, unless Chang'e was released or let himself help, otherwise under the premise that Yakumo Zi was dragged by Yayun Zi on a moonlit night, the history of the Moon Capital after the war would be at least five hundred years back.
Among them, even if it is taken out alone, it can definitely easily change the power of the world, what does Yakumo Purple want to do when he gathers these guys together? Go to war? And with whom?
It was really difficult for Bayi Yonglin to understand, the other party had no grudge against the Moon Capital, and it was impossible for him to gather such a force to deal with the Moon Capital.
It's not that Bayi Yonglin is conceited, but if it's really not the capital of the moon? So what else could make Yakumo so cautious?
If you want to say that the other party really cares about the world, the Grand Duke selflessly created Gensokyo for the sake of the monster public, and gathered strength just to protect himself? Ahh
A slacker who declares that she will sleep a hundred hours a day, and you expect her to spend three hundred years building a "paradise" of yokai for others to enjoy? Dream on!
Guessing from the most essential place, Yayi Yonglin used extremely malicious but also extremely real ideas to infer that if Yakumo Zi did all this for herself, then there can only be one reason!
"Before I do that, I have one thing to apologize to you."
Looking at the silent Yayun Zi, Bayi Yonglin suddenly said: "Actually, when I was in the Moon Capital, after you left the Guanghan Palace, I asked that adult about the conversation between you. ”
“......”
Yakumo's purple eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak, but the fists under the tea table were slowly clenched.
"You asked the lord a very special question."
Bayi Yonglin cooperated with a puzzled expression, she tapped the table with her fingers lightly, one at a time, very rhythmic.
After a pause, she continued: "It's about a person, or rather, a god, and no, whether it's a god or not seems to be up for debate. ”
Staring at Yakumo Zi's calm expression for a long time, abruptly, Yayi Yonglin deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Dragon God, is it called this name?" No, no matter how you look at it, what is his real name? Or is she? ”
"Interesting, isn't it?"
Bayi Yonglin's expression gradually unfolded, the originally plain smile showed signs of spreading, and the trembling corners of her mouth seemed to be trying to endure something, but the emotion erupting in her eyes was no longer controllable.
It seems that the success of the prank, as if the tension of hide and seek, or the pleasure of teasing others, it is hard to imagine that Bayi Yonglin, who has always shown her quiet side, has such a rich expression.
"The gods of Gensokyo, the gods that have only appeared in the history of Gensokyo, are the only gods that you, Yakumo Murasaki, have ever seen."
Bayi Yonglin's tone was tactful and undulating, and he deliberately learned the usual tone of Yakumo Zi, and he also learned it well.
"Is that really a god? Are you sure? If it's true? Why would you ask that adult about him or her? Is there any meaning in this? The gods of Gensokyo don't exist in Gensokyo, so it's really interesting. ”
She slowed down and continued, "You're looking for the dragon god, and you don't know where the legendary god is, at least not in Gensokyo, do you?" ”
The strange tone stopped abruptly, and Yakumo Zi's expression was covered by golden bangs and couldn't see clearly, but Yayun Yonglin still didn't look away.
Bayi Yonglin slowly put away the extra expression on his face, and after regaining his composure, he said lightly: "So, let's go back to the original part, I have only one question, what are you looking for the dragon god for?" ”
Staring intently at Yakumo Purple in front of him, Yayi Yonglin said slowly: "Is it to find him and let him continue to protect Gensokyo, or is it to use the power of Gensokyo to kill him now?" ”
The air in the tearoom suddenly became a little heavy, as if it was about to crush people, and the fluctuations in the small teacups were densely arranged in circles, and many of them were actually a little infiltrating.
“...... Now, Yonglin. ”
In this oppressive atmosphere, Yakumo Zi finally spoke, she lowered her head, and her tone was unusually gentle.
"Do you know how fast the cherry blossoms fall?"
“......”
Obviously, he didn't even meet his eyes, but just saw the other party's eyes from the reflection of the tea, and Bayi Yonglin actually felt a cold fear rising from the bottom of his heart.
She regretted it, she wasn't in such a hurry, Yakumo's smile was gentle, but she didn't feel a trace of warmth from it, and the suppressed madness was the most terrifying, because when it broke out, it would destroy everything.
"Well, we used to have a very, very, very good friend, and it's not an exaggeration to call it a close friend, but alas, she's dead."
As she spoke, Yakumo Zi's hands under the tea table made a muffled sound of broken bones, and she suddenly smiled and said, "We killed it with our own hands." ”
“!!”
Almost instantly, Yayi Yonglin bounced up from his position, took three or four steps back, took a bow and arrow, and looked uncertainly at Yakumo Zi, who was still sitting there.
"We're very, very sad, so we have to take revenge, but we're the one who killed her, and it's always a little strange to take revenge on ourselves, right?"
Yakumo Zi made a troubled expression, and didn't seem to care about Yayun Yonglin's overreaction as she continued: "So, let's decide to find another person for revenge, that person, he is also her friend. ”
"The guy who can watch his friend die in front of him is definitely not a good person," Yakumo Zi puffed out his face and complained angrily, "So, we decided to kill him and avenge our friend." ”
"His name is the dragon god."
