Chapter 55: Sister Hong's Dream
People are very cheap creatures, and Wu Ye once again understood this truth from himself.
When others put the cooked duck to their mouths, they were worried that it was poisonous, but when the duck flew away, they began to regret why they didn't eat it earlier.
Maybe Wu Ye's words didn't come from his heart, maybe he just wanted to be modest, but Bayi Yonglin didn't pay attention to it so much.
She left, very simply, with Kaguya and the two weapons of great sin, and left without even saying a word of goodbye, without giving Takeya the slightest chance to regret it.
"They're gone."
"yes."
"It's almost time for us to go, girl, right?"
Wu Ye, who had regained some physical strength, stood up, and the loss in his eyes narrowed little by little, replaced by a kind of dazedness.
Blank for the future.
"What are we going to do after that?" Takeya asked, "The story of Kaguya-hime has come to an end, what else can we do?" ”
"I don't know."
Mei Hong, who had been silent for a long time, gave such an irresponsible answer, she leaned on the tree with half of her body, and finally Wu Ye pulled it, and she barely stood up.
“...... Now, Takeya, just now, I had a dream. ”
"Huh?"
Coldly, Mei Hong suddenly provoked this strange topic, she lowered her gaze, there was a rare helplessness in her eyes, faint, like the bleak scene of autumn, the sadness of withered leaves.
"It was a dream from a long time ago, and in that dream, I was just ten years old."
Mei Hong raised her head, and a glimmer of light appeared in the sky, it was dawn.
"I didn't know what I had done, so I left home one night and woke up the next day on a strange barren mountain."
Holding a pair of distant and approaching eyes, Mei Hong said to herself: "After that, I went home, but since that day, I began to become different from everyone little by little, until the day I was sixteen years old, I found that I would no longer 'grow'." ”
"I think back to that day," Mei Hong said, "On that night six years ago, because I wanted to take revenge on the woman who tried to hurt my father, I took a medicine that she attached great importance to, and the name of the medicine was called Penglai Medicine. ”
“......”
Wu Ye looked at Mei Hong blankly, listening to the other party tell the familiar but somewhat different story, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and even became cautious with his breathing, for fear of missing something.
"I'm not going to grow old, I'm not going to die anymore, the concept of life and death disappeared from my life, and I understood this and left home."
Speaking of this, Meihong's eyes gradually brightened, and a taste of memory was held in her mouth.
"After I left home, I began to wander around, trying to learn all kinds of knowledge without knowing why, and learning all kinds of spells without knowing why, and I seemed to have forgotten many important things, even the meaning of my life."
"Until one day, I hid in the mountains, because after the secret of immortality was discovered, I began to be hunted down, and that day it rained heavily in the mountains, and I cried, cried very sadly."
"I cried for a whole day, and then I remembered the woman I had wanted to take revenge against, and the elixir of immortality that changed my life, and a strange emotion began to sprout in my heart, and then I learned that it was hatred."
"I hate the woman who disgraced my father, I hate the woman who caused me to take Penglai's medicine, and since then, hatred for that woman has become the meaning of my life."
"I tried my best to cultivate while avoiding humans, and I forgot everything in the past, leaving only hatred for that woman."
"After that, I went to a lot of places and met a lot of strange guys."
"I don't know why I care so much about Bai Ze, who is teaching among humans, and I don't even know why I went back to help her, but my body's instinct makes me feel that I should be close to her, because there are some familiar figures on her body."
"I temporarily gained a place to live with the help of Bai Ze, and I lived a seemingly peaceful life after wandering for many years, until I found the existence of that woman in a bamboo forest."
"My hatred was revived again, and I began to fight with the woman day and night, and she seemed to have forgotten many things, but fortunately, she still remembered me."
"It's sad that the only person in this world who can prove that I have ever lived is actually my enemy, and this shame has exacerbated my hatred, and since then, fighting with that woman has become my daily routine."
"It was a long time after that, and the world changed, and the establishment of Paradise brought my revenge to an end, because I met so many people."
"After that, I forgot more things, everything in the past seemed to be blurred in my memory, and I couldn't seem to remember anything but hatred."
Speaking of this, Mei Hong paused, she glanced at the sun in the distance, and it seemed to be about to rise.
"But today I remembered the things I forgot, the things I shouldn't forget."
The first rays of sunlight in the sky sprinkled on Mei Hong's body, as if bringing a certain sense of sublimation, making her whole person unreal.
Wu Ye was suddenly taken aback, because the sister red in front of him was actually gradually disappearing.
"Sister Hong, why are you ......!"
But before he could finish speaking, Takeya stopped again, for he himself had become in the same state, and he looked down at his hands that were becoming transparent, and a strange feeling of vanity came over his body.
Wu was also stunned, but Mei Hong did not react to such a phenomenon, she was still telling her "dream".
"I think back that my past was not all sad, because I had a father who was cold but occasionally smiled."
"I remembered why I would learn knowledge that had nothing to do with me while cultivating, and why I would have a familiar feeling with Bai Ze, who liked to teach."
"I think of a sister who has the same name as me, but is very vicious."
"I remembered a master who snatched my lunch the first time we met, saying that he wanted to teach me, but he was playing with me every day."
"I remembered that it was Penglai medicine that I chose to take."
"I remembered, I remembered everything...... I have already experienced everything. ”
Silent tears quietly crossed the girl's red cheeks, and the unreal body under the light dissipated little by little with the wind, the wind seemed to take away everything, but it couldn't take away the relief in her eyes.
"Takeya."
Mei Hong turned her head and looked at Wu Ye seriously, and after a long time, she suddenly smiled.
"You might think I'm crazy, but yes, that's what I really thought......."
Mei Hong frowned, a complicated smile curled into the corners of her mouth, and she said word by word: "Probably, probably before I met you, a long time ago, we were already ...... We've met. ”
