Chapter three hundred and fiftieth: long-term thinking
"I... don't think this is the best way."
Long Miao said this.
Utsuki-kun was choosing fabrics in front of the shop. When he heard this, he turned around, stopped rummaging and looked at him seriously.
"Are you talking about Kisaragi-kun?"
She asked. She was choosing some good-looking cloth to make suitable clothes for Lord Kisaragi. But she could put this matter aside for the time being. After all, it was not difficult to find some ready-made linen clothes. She turned around and continued to ask
He said:
"Do you think the proposal from Lord Bai Skeleton is not 'good' enough?"
"I can't think of a better proposal, but I vaguely feel... something's not right."
Recently, thanks to the efforts of colleagues, most of Kisaragi-kun's body has been recovered, but more of it has disappeared. There are not enough twelve people in Huangquan December, and a slight reduction in the number will be a huge pressure on others.
.Finally, after the joint discussion of several Wu Chang, it was decided to adopt Baiskeleton Master’s proposal.
That means using doll parts to make up for Kisaragi-kun's missing parts.
Regardless of whether this kind of craft can awaken Ruyue-kun's consciousness, let alone completely restore her state. This must have an element of gambling, and we don't even know what terrible things will be summoned. But the impermanent people are not stupid after all.
They would not use the grave soil and ashes of people who died in vain, but asked for the consent of "acquaintances" to take part of their relatives who died. To this end, they also tried to invite Mutsuki-kun and Rintenshi to eliminate everything
possible unclean things.
But Mutsuki-kun did not participate, or even expressed his position. Master Lintian was busy after all, and even finding his whereabouts was difficult, let alone asking for advice. I heard about a place today and rushed there along the spiritual veins.
They went elsewhere again. In the end, Wu Chang only invited some other highly respected monks and Taoist priests, and they themselves did their best to make as many preparations as possible.
The only Six Paths of Impermanence that agreed to take the risk of using this method are Maoyue Lord, Shuiwu Lord, Shenwu Lord, Shuangyue Lord, Jiyue Lord and Gaoyue Lord. Jiyue Lord and Shenwu Lord still have important things to do, and at most they are just
Helped recycle body parts.
Yes...this includes Satsuki-kun.
Is the Dead Shadow Pavilion trustworthy? It's hard to say. Lord Gaoyue didn't visit in person, but sent his subordinates. The Dead Shadow Pavilion is always so busy... maybe? At least she and her subordinates are like that
Said. And the person who was sent was none other than Zhu Tong, the youngest among the Five Poisons. What is the composition of the clay, what is the size of the fire, and how should the craftsmanship be used to shape... These questions, she carried with her to death.
The technology comes from Shadow Pavilion.
Logically speaking, she is not worthy of trust. After all, Shenying Pavilion talks about business and only thinks about ideas. It is difficult to say whether they have any malicious intentions. However, Lord Gaoyue has always been like this - distinguishing between public and private matters. In "Resurrection"
Regarding Kisaragi-kun, she seems to have expressed strong feelings about it.
Support. That’s all. Although it is almost universally known that the puppet’s skills came from the Dead Shadow Pavilion, the tragic experience of Lord Ruyue has nothing to do with the Dead Shadow Pavilion. Again, no matter what, take a gamble. If so
They can also stop whoever is trying to be clever at the first opportunity.
In addition to the six paths of impermanence, they also have helpers. Shi Wuqi, Kong Lingbei, Long Miao... they are all insiders.
Shui Wujun listened to Shi Wuqi's arrangement. After all, they were old friends for many years and even had an "employment relationship." Now, it didn't matter about money or favors, they just cooperated with each other on the level of friendship. Kong Lingbei was staring at
Zhu Tong, lest she do anything unnecessary. He
She was unwilling to do so, but Uozuki-kun entrusted him with it. Shigetsuki-kun was busy with other things, but she promised to be there when the "ceremony" started. For her, whether it was Kisaragi-kun himself or other participants,
They all hold a pivotal position in her heart.
And what about Long Miao? He followed Uoyuki-kun to the market to "relax" and prepare some "girls' things."
Then, there were those words he said at the beginning.
In the eyes of most people, Uzuki-kun is an unsullied miko. In fact, people who are familiar with her know that she also has a side similar to that of an ordinary girl. For example, she is very interested in the market - this may be the reason.
Because she could only stay in the shrine during her lifetime and could not go anywhere. Even if she
Hundreds and thousands of years have passed, and she still seems to be unsatisfied after traveling around the world. There are so many places worth stopping in this wonderful world, and people can always invent new tricks for consumption. In the process,
She has gained a lot of fun and will continue to do it if she has time in the future.
But for now, she is just sitting in the teahouse with Long Miao, chatting face to face.
Long Miao even felt that Lord Maoyue's "alone action" was intentional. They hadn't had a chance to talk quietly like this for a long time. The longer the time went by, the busier they became. Maybe it was because the world was not peaceful recently.
Or there are other reasons.
No matter what... they are still sitting here.
"I have always wanted to know what it is like to be born as a human being." Long Miao said frankly and honestly, "I am a half-demon described by humans and demons. From the day I awakened, I fell into a huge confusion.
To this day, I have never experienced such a sudden realization...
Dissipated. But my state of mind has been very different, and I am no longer obsessed with seeking answers. I only know that this question still cannot be answered. It is you and everyone who gave me the opportunity now to think about this question.
What’s the point of it all?”
"So, what do you think you are now? Do you think this matter is still important?"
Uoyuki-kun was holding the tea cup. She looked at the cup, and the feeble flowers floated silently in the cup.
"I think I can be a human and a monster at the same time, or neither. But no matter what, I will not be a simple human, nor a simple monster. This is not determined by myself...
Ranyanlai Ye Yuejun once used the ruined demon sword to peel off mortal bones. I have also had countless opportunities, countless less bloody and helpless opportunities - to transform into a complete monster. But I don't
Going to make this choice. No
It’s about how good I feel now, but I think that no matter what I do, it won’t get better. I have turned a deaf ear to those criticisms and ridicules. No one can affect me, I am myself. I also know
, I will not become a pure human after all. The process of a person becoming a monster is called demon transformation, and there is absolutely no possibility of reversing the demon transformation. I wonder if this is possible for me who was born half-demon. I can also go
Exploring, but…”
Uoyuki-kun didn't speak. She was waiting for Takimiao's statement to come to an end.
"But I will not become a human being, a pure human being. The form is not important, the important thing is the heart. This is what you and other friends have told me. But I know very well that the reason why people are human is
There are so many reasons... Once you experience the feeling of being something else, there is no going back."
"Well, that's what you think." Uoyuki-kun nodded, "It's not too bad."
Long Miao lowered his voice: "Don't you... feel disappointed? After so much effort, I am now——"
"No, how could it be?" She put down the cup and stared into Long Miao's eyes and said, "When I told them that I was willing to take you with me personally, I never said anything about making you a real person... Such words. I went there
Just say, what matters is your thoughts, and this is also true now. Aren’t the words you are saying now exactly what you are thinking? Isn’t all this worth it? "
"……Thanks."
"No need to thank you. I just... took you with me. The Six Paths of Impermanence are neither humans nor monsters, nor ghosts nor gods. Taking you with us from our perspective and standpoint must be good for you - that's what I thought at the time
.Didn’t I say before that I think you are more suitable for the Six Paths of Impermanence than me?"
Long Miao shook his heavy head and said, "Stop making such jokes. Speaking of which... what I originally wanted to tell you should be about Lord Ruyue."
"I remember. But the words you just said made me guess what you were thinking."
"Really?" Long Miao didn't realize it.
"Hmm. You must feel that if Ruyue-kun returns to her physical body from something other than her own, she will no longer be the same as she was before. Even if her consciousness returns, it will still be very different from her past self."
"Well, uh... yes, but not entirely." Long Miao tried to explain, "I think this process is not safe enough to guarantee that she is really Kisaragi-kun when she wakes up. On the one hand, I know that she is...
Countless spontaneous and scattered consciousnesses were condensed from the corpse, and their personality was slowly condensed. Now, her body has been broken up and reorganized, and mixed with impurities, she..."
Uoyuki-kun showed a helpless smile, and Takimiao could read the meaning. The flowers on her head were still very bright, but many of the petals had fallen off. The petals that fell on the table and on the ground were separated from the spiritual power.
The supply quickly withered. They just curled up and looked very pitiful.
"You talked about so many profound things, but you are worried about technical and superficial things. Does this mean that you are also worried about something else?"
"Her body is still human after all - but will it still be the same in the future? She can still be human..."
Long Miao didn't say any more.
Maoyuejun responded with silence. The shallow and gentle smile at the corner of her mouth was still there, but in Long Miao's eyes, it seemed a bit forced. He knew that he had no choice but to take this step. These upright impermanent people had no intention of doing anything.
A person wants to take this risk. But
They really have no choice. Part of Kisaragi-kun has been destroyed, and part of it is no longer in the human world. Even a small part of the human world has been buried in the belly of the beast or has reached a place that can never be recovered. It is better to say that half of it can be recovered now.
, is already a miracle.
Damn lies!
"I don't want to say those empty words... those only make you and I believe her empty words. Why are you, Master Kong Ling and Lord Bai Skeleton here? Even Lord Shuangyue traveled thousands of miles to come back... This is not just feelings
, and - to prevent accidents from happening. At the beginning of his awakening of consciousness, Lord Ruyue was also a madman who only hurt others and himself. We must prevent this tragedy from happening again."
"How to do it? Control her? Destroy her?" Long Miao was still a little excited when the part he had guessed in his mind was implemented. "Does this count... does it count as the creation of life that was prohibited by that adult? And then,
destroy?"
Uoyuki-kun did not give an answer, but she responded to the previous topic:
"Whether she is a human or not...among the six realms of impermanence, isn't there a monster?"
"Can--"
Another thing that Longmiao was worried about was about to be implemented again.
For all the evil deeds of that monster, the Lord of Naraku has never punished him.
