"Hmm......"

Unconsciously, Hua Fan instinctively wanted to escape from this darkness, and after trying to open her eyes, she seemed to see such a pure starry sky for the first time.

The smell of earth crossed the tip of her nose, the touch of the grass did not seem to be fake, and although there were many doubts, she could feel and be sure of one thing—

She's alive.

"Are you awake?"

It was a voice that seemed to be relieved, turned his head slightly, and from the direction from which the voice came, he could see the appearance of the voice owner clearly through the starlight fan: "Ah Long, did you save me?" ”

"Sort of," Takeya shrugged and handed the water bladder in his hand to Hua Fan, "Although I would like to celebrate now, it's a pity that there is only a barely clean river near here." ”

"Huh."

Hua Fan smiled reluctantly, took the water bladder and poured it down, the water that spread out wet her hair, and the drops of water showed the clearest light under the starlight.

"I guessed it, but I didn't expect it to be water...... Even if there is no wine, there is not even a fish in the river? ”

"Don't be so picky, hey, your body is in such a bad state, drink water honestly." Wu Ye won't admit that he didn't prepare because he didn't know how to deal with the fish he caught.

"Hey, hey." Hua Fan smirked, poured two more mouthfuls into his mouth, and casually put the water bladder aside, ignoring his accidentally wet hair and clothes, and just lay down with a big grin.

Wu also packed up his things and couldn't help but stare at Hua Fan and look at it again.

"What's wrong?" Hua Fan asked puzzled.

"No," Wu Ye shook his head and sighed a little, "Now you look like a ghost king." ”

"Have you ever seen a ghost king lying here like a dead fish?" replied angrily, and Hua Fan realized that something was wrong in his words: "Wait a minute, when will I become a ghost king?" Cuixiang wants to pick a child? ”

"Ah...... Tongue. Wu Ye was stunned, and then casually perfunctory, he almost forgot that there was no ghost clan Four Heavenly Kings in this era, and some were just ghost kings who drank and swallowed boys.

Looking away without a trace, Wu Ye asked casually, "Listen to your tone, you are very familiar with Cuixiang?" ”

Glancing at Wu Ye intentionally or unintentionally, Hua Fan said lightly: "Your tone doesn't sound like the one you just met." ”

"......" Wu Ye choked at the beginning of his words, and secretly sighed that he was still too careless: "Ahem, my personality is so self-familiar." ”

Hua Fan stared at Wu Ye for a long time, until the other party felt a little uncomfortable before slowly looking away: "It's okay to think of it as such." ”

"Actually, it's nothing," Hua Fan said with his hands behind his head and in a story-telling tone, looking at the starry sky, "I am friends with Cuixiang and have known each other for a long time. ”

"I guessed that, after all, you can call each other by name, oh yes, that red Yousan and you know each other, right?"

"There are three red?"

"Next to Miss Suika, the one with a big red horn on her head."

"You said Yongyi," Hua Fan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "If that guy knows that you actually gave her such a strange title, I don't know what she will think." ”

"Whatever she wants." Wu doesn't matter, the relationship between him and Yongyi is almost the same as each other, and no matter how bad it is, it won't be worse again.

"Yongyi and I are also friends, and that guy's straightforward personality seems to us to be her strength, but in your opinion, it may not be easy to get along with, right?"

Hua Fan guessed very accurately, Yongyi's personality is called straightforward if it sounds good, and if it is not good, it is not a brain, and he acts too irritable.

Although he heard what the other party said in person, Wu Ye still couldn't imagine that Cuixiang was an alcoholic, and he drank again for half a day, and Yongyi with a baseball bat was a bad example, as for Hua Fan...... This guy doesn't look like a ghost at all.

I didn't think these three guys would be friends at all.

"I heard, you fought with Yongyi before?"

"Huh?" Hua Fan suddenly brought up the old matter again, which made Wu Ye stunned, and then said a little curtly: "Actually, it's a misunderstanding." ”

"If you feel the need to do so, I can apologize to you on behalf of Yongyi." When Hua Fan said this, there was a stubborn seriousness in his eyes.

“...... Not really. Wu Ye really didn't expect Hua Fan's attitude towards this matter to be so formal.

Hua Fan smiled: "With Yongyi's character, it is absolutely impossible for her to bow her head to you, even if the world is turned upside down." ”

"What about you?" Wu also puzzled: "You are also a ghost, right?" ”

"yes." Hua Fan pointed to the horn on his head.

"Then you're willing to bow your head so easily?" In Wu Ye's cognition, the ghost clan is a group of people who like to flip the table at every turn, and if they apologize in a low voice, it is impossible to really turn the world upside down.

"It's all said, it's to replace Yongyi, if it's me, it's definitely not unwilling." Hua Fan smiled indifferently.

"This ...... Is there a difference? ”

"Of course there is, after all, Yongyi is one of my few friends, and it's not a big deal to bow her head for her."

The evening breeze with three points of chill blew the bangs of the Hua fan, and the pair of red eyes had already faded away from the unruly color, leaving only the loneliness written in it.

"There aren't a few left, after that war...... I don't want to lose anyone. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became a little silent, and in the quiet of the night, I couldn't even hear the insects around, and Wu also knew that he had provoked a bad topic, that is, he kept his mouth shut and didn't speak again.

"Actually, I didn't agree to participate in this war at the beginning," Hua Fan turned his head and said something else: "It's just because Suika owes Yakumo Purple a favor, so we are here." ”

"You all seem to respect Miss Cuixiang?"

"Of course, Cuixiang is the ghost king."

"Ghost King, ......" The words aroused the doubts that Wu Ye had been buried in his heart for many years: "By the way, how was the ghost king elected?" Is it more powerful than whom? ”

"The ghost clan does advocate strength, but the ghost king is different from ordinary ghosts, and strength is not the most important thing - even so, you should also know the strength of Cuixiang, and the ghosts who are more powerful than her are afraid that they no longer exist in this world."

"Sure enough." Wu also consciously made up the picture of a group of ghosts gathering together to fight in the ring.

"But since she is a king, of course she must be distinguished from ordinary ghosts, and Cuixiang has been recognized by all ghosts, so she is a unique ghost king."

"Really? Miss Cuixiang has such a high reputation? "It's hard for Wu Ye to imagine that the appearance of that drunkard in Cuixiang would be recognized by so many ghosts.

"It's not really, it's just that all the ghosts who oppose her are dead." Hua Fan coldly threw out the frightening facts.

"......" Wu Ye, who had no reason, felt a chill behind him, that drunkard young girl usually couldn't see it, was the method so brutal?

"Not what you think." Although she couldn't see Wu Ye's expression, she roughly guessed what the other party was thinking from the other party's small movements, and she added with a little dissatisfaction: "Those ghosts who oppose Cuixiang died in the war, and humans. ”

"Isn't it?!" Takeya opened his mouth wide and looked incredulous.

Even if Cuixiang is really expected, ninety-nine percent of the ghosts support her, then the remaining one percent is enough for humans, she doesn't remember any era in history when humans are so strong, the only thing she can guess is Qingming, but this guy is only a teenager now, unless Cuixiang has only recently become the king of ghosts.

But listening to Hua Fan's words, this is not the case at all.

"About two hundred years ago, the expanding Oni Clan chose to attack Kyoto in order to gain more territory, and at that time we all thought that this war would be won, but unfortunately, we lost, and it was a fiasco."

Hua Fan's tone was very desolate, as if he still remembered the tragic situation at that time: "The ghost clan besieging Kyoto is not one out of ten, if it weren't for the desperate battle of Cuixiang to let us escape, I'm afraid the ghost clan would have been removed from the monster list a long time ago, but even if a trace of vitality is preserved, the decline of the ghost clan is inevitable." ”

Wu Ye never imagined that the decline of the ghost clan was actually caused by a war with humans, and he always thought that it was done by other monsters.

"The ghost clan has never been afraid of war, and dying in battle is a natural fate for the ghost clan, but this time was different, it was not a war, but a massacre."

"Slaughter, slaughter?" Man slaughtering ghosts? Wu Ye couldn't believe this, but it was impossible for Hua Fan to tease him about this kind of thing, so he ......

"Who the hell is .....?"

"That person's name, Ah Long, you should have heard of it, no, as long as it's a monster, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know it, the Westward Archmage who is famous for retiring monsters."

Wu Ye, who was already shocked to the point of speechlessness, didn't expect that more amazing facts were still to come.

"After the Battle of Kyoto, the Oni Clan was completely defeated, but there were not many humans left who lived in it, hmph-"

Speaking of this, Hua Fan said angrily: "What archmage, that sanctimonious executioner, those stupid humans thought that our ghost clan invaded Kyoto and killed those humans, but they didn't know that killing those humans was the Westbound Archmage who they thought had retreated from the ghosts!" ”

"What do you say......"

"Aaron, do you think we have gathered such a powerful army of youkai, why don't we just attack Kyoto? Is it just because Murasaki Yakumo, who is the leader, is not allowed? Hey, not really! It's because there's 'that' in Kyoto! ”

Hua Fan's face was cold, and there was boundless anger and an undeniable fear in his eyes: "There is a cherry blossom tree in Kyoto's westward house that existed many years ago, and that is what we are really afraid of!" Because that's a real monster in the truest sense of the word! ”

"When this cherry blossom tree is in full bloom, it will kill all living beings around it, whether it is a human or a youkai, it is the same and fragile in front of it! It doesn't matter if it's strong or weak, it will give all the same death equally. ”

"It sounds ironic to call such a thing a holy thing to kill all living beings around it indiscriminately, but the executioner seems to know this, and that's why he gave it such a fitting name—"

"Westbound Demon!!"

“......”
