Chapter 40: Qingshui Hanmei

Xie Zhe repeated it softly, as if it brought back some memories, but it didn't. After all, there were so many people with the same pronunciation as this word that he must have heard it intentionally or unintentionally in the past twenty years of his life.

I have been called this countless times.

"Kisara Yue-kun..." Han Chang was confused, "I apologize in advance if I offend you. I may have remembered it wrong, but in my vague impression, I heard someone say that the ancient Kisaragi-kun was really a painter.

A woman who is proficient in both medical and poison skills. Your Kisaragi-kun's skills are not like those of holding a pen, nor are they like those of poisoning... Although it is a bit like someone who holds medicine, it is more like a boxer."

"Hahahahaha, no?"

Lord Ruyue laughed heartily, and the plum blossoms on her hairband trembled slightly. Inside the house, the fragrance of plum blossoms slowly spread, which was more real and moving than the smell of oleander that was out of season just now. Is this flower real? It probably depends on Liu Dao

The impermanent vitality remains fresh. Such a proud plant is indeed what Kisaragi-kun likes.

"Your skills are indeed great. In comparison, I am ashamed of myself."

Xie Zhe's words were sincere. He knew very well that although he had some understanding of the art of boxing and kicking, and Lord Ruyue didn't seem to be proficient in it, but he was indeed "more solid" than him. Lord Ruyue smiled and said:

"Thank you for your praise. In addition, Brother Fox's memory is indeed good. There was a woman who played the role of Kisaragi-kun before me, but she died four to five hundred years ago. Judging from what you just said, she must have known about it. Ah.

, there is no such thing as death for impermanent ghosts

Can you explain it? You can understand that she lost her mind, and according to her colleagues, she did it voluntarily. I probably have no way of guessing her thoughts. Most of my colleagues are also a little shy and don't want to mention it, so I have no idea.

Follow up. But

I didn't just take up the post after she left. It's a long story. But I can explain a little bit about physical skills and martial arts. You must have seen that, in fact, I didn't have any rules at all.

Random response

Changes happen all at once. It's just about avoiding the swords and spears, and not letting your body be separated. Other times, the beatings are real. But, it's not a big deal if you are really hit. How can a dead person die again?

?”

There is an indescribable coldness in her understated humor, perhaps not just due to her indifference to death. The impermanence of the Six Paths does not feel pain, nor does it die. This should be considered a well-known thing. Ye Lingquan after breathing fresh air

, she has recovered for a while now. She is still lying on the bench, but with difficulty

Turning his head, he glanced at Han Zhang. After learning that she was not the same person as the "Ruyue Lord" he knew, Han Zhang seemed to show a little regret, but it was fleeting. I don't know if this regret was symbolic or not.

What is the real story between him and the previous Lord Ruyue? But Ling Huan won’t ask, at least not now.

"Don't say that...it would be bad if you accidentally lose your soul."

"Hey, you're awake. Be careful not to fall off the chair."

Lord Ruyue stretched out her hand to remind. The two gentlemen turned their heads and subconsciously reached out to help Ye Lingyu, who might have fallen down. However, she was very honest. After all, her body could not recover without medicine to detoxify.

Ling Huan didn't like people always talking about "death". Yin Huan was like this for a while, and repeatedly said in the letter that it made her sleep and eat poorly. She tried to persuade her several times, but Yin Huan stopped.

She mentioned it, but she knew that her cousin had not necessarily given up the idea, but was just afraid that she would worry. So she didn't like to mention such words, and she looked so calm. This was too strange.

"It's okay, don't worry about it. Well... the situation is different for me. Listen to me, I told you a name, right?" Lord Ruyue, also known as Ru'aqi, waved his hands and said, "What do you think this is?

Nickname, after all, impermanence has no name. But that’s not the case. Before I became the impermanence of six paths, I was called this by people. Although I had no memory of all this from the beginning, only one

Some weird, vague, and unformed impressions. You said that I was a miko before, right? But I don’t even have the impression I had just now about all this. The name of this body as a miko was...

Well, I was deprived of it by the Lord of Naraku, leaving behind this name. Maybe this name gave me a too general memory, and it was of little value to that adult. I don’t know.”

"Then did you develop your skills after becoming impermanent?" Han Chang asked.

"Don't be anxious. I said that dead people will not die again - as a miko, I died very early, and my memory of 'Ah Qi' is limited because those are just memories of the body. My head is empty, but

I'm just like a walking zombie. That's why I won't feel pain even if I get hit, and I won't stop even if I exceed the limits of my limbs. Living people have a limit to everything they can do. For example, if you run too much, you will exceed your body limit.

If you lift an object beyond your ability to carry it, the skin, flesh, and meridians of your limbs will be strained and broken, and the pain before that is a reminder. The body does not allow people to do what it limits.

The range of abilities. As a dead person, how can I have such a limitation? You would probably call such a dead person a zombie... Strictly speaking, it should be the non-bone among them. Doesn’t it sound awesome?"

The three of them all opened their mouths slightly, and were surprised to hear such strange words that were well-founded but fantastic. But they all understood the metaphor of zombies. The dead people who were ordered to attack the living people could indeed burst out with the emotions they had during their lifetimes.

There is no power either.

Lord Ruyue continued: "Do you know? That oiran - the woman who I confronted before I snatched you out. Why did she go crazy? I guessed the problem at the first sight of that man."

"Dead, uh, corpse, problem...what problem?"

Ling Huan felt a little unable to keep up with Ruyue-kun. She spoke very quickly and gave a lot of information. Moreover, her head was not clear yet, and she had not understood the first half. Since everyone was dead, how could she move?

What? The second half suddenly brought back Tao Gu

Mom, her mind can't handle so many problems at once. She can only act like a child learning to talk, repeating the last words of an adult's sentence. Xie Zhe and Han Chang didn't speak. Did they understand, or were they just like themselves?

Don't understand?

"That man is dead." Kisaragi-kun said, "I know this. That man is just a corpse now. Did you see the corners of his mouth? It is the water in the body that evaporates after a person has been dead for too long

It's like a dry leaf. Even if it is soaked in water and recovered, it will inevitably leave wrinkles that are not the same as the original ones. The smile of the corpse is like this. It's not just me and him, many people dug out from ancient tombs

The same is true when the coffin is opened."

She spoke frankly in everything she said, and Ling Huan was even a little impressed.

"How did you... move? That is, after you died as a miko?"

Han Shang seemed to be very interested in this question, and Ling Huan also wanted to hear it. However, right after he opened his mouth, Xie Zhe asked another question at the same time, a more important topic that was relevant to the present:

"What is the background of Miss Tao and that man?"

Lord Ruyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and her expression was a bit stiff, but it was not intentional. If it were a corpse, her movements would sometimes appear stiff, but it would be understandable - although in some aspects she was unusually soft. Her current expression

There is a reasonable explanation for the expression that seems to be smiling. But she seems to be in a good mood all the time. Even if she keeps smiling, there is nothing wrong.

"Tell me slowly, one by one... I don't think my personal matters are important, right? It's troublesome to talk about it. But if we don't talk about it, we can't explain the relationship with the oiran."

Xie Zhe was quite surprised: "Is there a connection between the two?"

"Of course! I'll make a long story short. For various reasons that I can't figure out myself, someone wanted to revive the soul before this body, which is the witch you know, so they spent a lot of effort to create me today. Tao

The same goes for girls."

The three of them were confused. Even Zhongli Hanshang, the oldest and most knowledgeable person, showed a confused expression.

He asked slowly: "Uh... that is to say, do you want to show that you are not that witch?"

"Well... they seem to have made a mistake. But it is obvious that people cannot be resurrected, right? In fact, I have no feeling at all about the miko you are talking about. It's not that I forgot my name because I lost it, but...

...We are not the same existence at all. It's like reviving a dead body. The adult explained this to me personally. When I first woke up from this body, I was like a baby, what?

I can't remember anything. But it seemed like - according to other colleagues, like a madman. I didn't have any consciousness, I only knew how to destroy indiscriminately, yell, and said very outrageous words to the person who woke me up...

After I understood it at first, I felt that they deserved their punishment, so why did they drag me into this world without permission? But when I think about it more carefully, I realized that the other party was very pitiful, and I am afraid they did not expect such consequences."

"What you said is indeed twists and turns and wonderful. But forgive me for being stupid, I really can't imagine how your affairs could have anything to do with Miss Tao?"

"Ah, you mean Tao Zhu." Ruyue Jun turned around to get the fried medicine, and then looked for a bowl from under the counter. He kept talking, "Actually, it has nothing to do with her. I didn't come here to find her. I just happened to meet her.

Okay, let me finish it off for you. Her matter should not be handled by me. I am going to make up for a small mistake before. Do you know that there is a woman named Qi here?"

The three of them were all alert. Unknowingly, all these bits and pieces of information came together.

"Know, know..."

"It's hard not to know. Wanted notices have been posted all over the city. Her attendants are as fast as a gust of wind, and the streets and alleys are soon covered with notices. I know this, and I specially asked you to take the path."

After pouring three bowls of medicine, she picked up one bowl first and shook out a piece of crumpled paper from her arms with her other hand. Han Sheng took the paper first, and Xie Zhe went to take the medicine when he was suddenly burned. Lord Ruyue is really real.

A real corpse, even if the Impermanent Ghost can't be burned, doesn't it even have this sense? Fortunately, Han Zhang reacted quickly enough, raised his toes to catch the bowl, and put it on the table. With a "pop", the medicine

The soup only spilled a little.

He flattened the paper, and Xie Zhe came over to look at it. Even Ling Quan tried hard to raise his head. Han Sheng deliberately lowered the paper and said:

"Why are there only two people painted on it? And they are holding a piano?"

"...Why do I think she did it on purpose?"

Xie Zhe, who spoke in a low tone and with a frown, was obviously the human being who had been ignored. Although the wanted poster did not look like it, the degree of offense was really unclear whether it was a child's play or a serious attempt to treat him.

Forgot.

"Looking at the bright side, maybe I just think you are not important." Han Chang said seriously.

"I thank you."

Kisaragi-kun spread his hands: "To be honest, when I took you three out, I didn't even match you with the wanted order. It wasn't until I walked out of the brothel and saw the shikigami patrolling the streets that I realized what I was doing.

The person who summoned souls for this body in the past left behind a special crystal. After casting the spell, it can establish a special barrier, and even the six realms of impermanence cannot trace the traces of the holder."

Xie Zhe sighed: "Let me just say, how could Huangquan Twelve allow this to happen... In the end, you have become one of the impermanent ones."
