Needless to say how arduous the preparations were, especially when the two Liudao Wuchang were "absent from work" for a few days, which delayed things a bit. Although the rivers and lakes are still ordinary rivers and lakes, in places where the sun does not shine, people like the shade.
Things will definitely become more and more "promising". Regardless of the result now, let's quickly come to a conclusion today.
This is a depression in the mountains. The terrain is very high, but the terrain is concave and has a large area. Mizumu-kun and Uzuki-kun are standing on the edge of the high place, with steep and downward slopes on their sides. It looks like
Some dangers. Shi Wuqi, Kong Lingbei, Longmiao and others
Miss Zhu Tong is making final preparations. Shui Wujun has nothing to do but wait to see if they have anything else to do. And Uoyuki Jun will play a decisive role in this ceremony. She
Just a short break.
There are many stars tonight, but there is no moon. If there is only a moon, I am afraid it will attract things that should not come. Shui Wujun raised his head and looked at the sky, and said softly:
"This conjuring ritual—how sure are you?"
"Calling souls is really...an inappropriate term." Lord Uoyue looked slightly sideways.
"Sorry, I don't understand this very well. How should I say this?"
"It's not entirely wrong. After all, the rituals are indeed similar, but we have made many improvements. First of all, the time has been calculated, and the clothes are also newly cut. To truly summon spirits, you should use the old clothes of the deceased to attract him.
soul, but we don’t have...even
Shi Wuqi didn't leave anything commemorative. This is innocuous. If you insist on saying...it should be called 'soul summoning', right? But what we want to recall is not Lord Ruyue's soul, just awaken her.
Consciousness is just the master of the new body."
"Is this so?"
Shui Wujun understood half of it, but it was enough. She only needed to know that she stayed here to avoid accidents. At this time, she noticed a bright spot in the night sky getting closer and closer, like a star.
He fell and rushed towards him. The white star was getting closer and closer, emitting a soft light. Shui Wujun was not surprised.
"Here we come." She gently patted Utsuki-kun on the shoulder.
The two raised their heads to look at it, and it turned out to be a white Tengu. It passed over the two of them and did not land, but one of them jumped down. Needless to say, it was naturally Mr. Shuoyue who came as promised.
"Thanks for your hard work!"
The two of them came forward and looked at the dusty Lord Shuangyue. Her breathing was a little short, of course not because of the fatigue of traveling in person - but because of her nervous and anxious state of mind. The biting wind blew her face very cold, although she was not
She was cold, but her face was numb, and even her simple expressions were stiff. She asked in a hurried tone:
"How's it going? Am I late?"
"No, no, it's just the right time." Uoyue-kun took her cold-hardened hand and led her and said, "Come on, let's go there now."
The three of them went to their destination. Lord Shuoyue raised his head and glanced at the Tengu who was gradually moving away. Its figure almost completely disappeared into the night. In this deserted place, Lord Shuoyue felt an indescribable feeling.
Kind. The structure of this place and the circulation of spiritual energy are really like Xue Yangu... But she doesn't have much time to express her feelings. She only needs to know that this is an essential condition for Lord Ruyue to wake up.
She is still very busy, so busy that her feet never touch the ground. There are always too many trivial matters in the world. Compared with the objective threats of evil, the filth in the gutter cannot be ignored. But this time she must come.
, because the people involved and standing here are the most important people in her past, present and future.
When he met his old friends, Mr. Shuangyue didn't have time to express any emotion. Their time was limited, and if they missed the time, it would be hard to say what the consequences would be. Besides, their lives were like that... so long, and there would be more opportunities in the future. At the moment, all we have to do is be clear about what's ahead of us.
One thing: focus on making Lord Kisaragi successfully awaken during this soul summoning ceremony. Other than that, those trivial details are not important.
Shuangyue Jun's eyes swept over the faces of everyone present. Shi Wuqi's expression was similar to that of Mao Yue Jun. There was no worry, only calmness. But she knew that these two people were not without worries. On the contrary, they were so "in charge"
People are the most nervous. But they can suppress their emotions and focus all their attention on the event itself.
On the contrary, Long Miao's expression was exactly the same as Shui Wujun's. When Shuangyue Jun first met Shui Wujun, her confusion and worry were clearly revealed on her face. It stands to reason that a person like her would not express anything clearly.
- But that may be in the past. She is no longer the killer she was during her lifetime, and there is no need to
Always pay attention to these. What's more, this is also the person closest to her, so she can express her concerns so safely. Long Miao doesn't understand this either. He only knows that things are arranged by knowledgeable people. He
Like Mizumu-kun, this is here to control potential accidents.
Kong Lingbei was really calm and relaxed... It's not that he was indifferent, but that he couldn't realize the specific value of this matter like others. Of course he knew the importance - that was a person
The six paths are impermanent! But for him, it is difficult to express the feelings he has had with his friends to this day.
He only knows that everyone else cares about this matter, so he should care too. Looking at Uoyuki-kun alone, he may feel that this matter is still relatively certain. But he is not stupid, he sees
He could understand Long Miao's anxiety, and he also knew that it was not his turn to say nonsense like "relax".
He stood here like this, exuding an unusual majesty. Perhaps this was part of his temperament as a lord... Needless to say, it made people look a little at ease.
Zhu Tong looked very relaxed...
This monster who looks like a little girl always seems to be like this, doing everything with ease. Her temperament and performance make others forget that she is a girl - forgetting that a little girl like this usually can't do anything big. But she is like this
A relaxed attitude, as if she could really overcome any difficulty.
"Miss Zhu Tong..." Mr. Shuangyue hesitated and finally said, "How sure are you about this matter?"
"I'm not sure."
…?
What a depressing thing to say. Others didn’t say anything after hearing this. The most they could do was roll their eyes. Anyway, that’s the extent of this girl’s character. What’s more, she can come to help on behalf of the Death Shadow Pavilion and has already overcome many problems. Otherwise, there are better things to do.
Is it a choice? At this point, what can the people standing here do except choose to believe?
The ceremony is about to begin.
A gust of evening wind blew, and everyone's hair lifted slightly. After the others retreated to a suitable distance, only Utsuki-kun stepped forward and walked towards the quiet corpse in the center of the circle. She was wearing a dark-colored dress
Yes, the new clothes are similar in style to the old one, but the material is much better. They look so decent.
So...so complete.
Her missing parts have been completed. This kind of craftsmanship is something that no one except the experienced Zhu Tong can do. One of Ruyue-kun's legs, one arm, waist and abdomen, and many small places have been completed.
It was filled with soil. The larger parts can be fired and installed directly, but some details require Miss Zhu Tong to take fire prevention measures for the body, using special fire, appropriate temperature and environment, together with the clay.
deal with.
She also stayed up day and night and couldn't get a drop of water. Although this is not a difficult task for a monster, it is not easy to deal with one thing really persistently. But she still looks so relaxed and happy, which makes people feel that the atmosphere is not
It's so heavy as expected.
Before the ceremony, Uzuki-kun changed into the clothes of a shrine maiden.
Compared to the one she usually wears, the red and white miko uniform looks too plain. Her hair is tied up with paper ribbons, and the Kagura bell in her hand looks familiar to everyone present. She wears wooden clogs,
Step by step, she stepped on the dead branches and leaves, making a dull sound. She came to Lord Ruyue.
In front of me, looking at her peaceful face that had been completed, I felt a different kind of sadness in my heart. The familiar face had been restored to a very restored state, except that there were imperceptible cracks at the joints and slight light damage.
The color difference cannot be noticed even if it is slightly dark. I guess Miss Zhu Tong also tried her best.
But she did not show any emotion. She shook the Kagura bell in her hand regularly, and the bell made a rhythmic and crisp sound. Different from any previous "retrospection", this melody matched her dance and made everyone present
Everyone felt strangely peaceful. This kind of tranquility was not the soothing brought by music or spices, but a magical and overly direct, unexpected and mandatory "hypnosis".
Almost everyone present became drowsy, but had to cheer up. Before the result came, they had to witness all this with their own eyes - just in case the result was not so "soft".
Then, in accordance with the rules, each of them whispered Kisaragi-kun's name.
It’s not Cyan Xiangmei Jian Ru Yuejun.
It’s not the name that belongs to the six realms of impermanence.
It is the original name that truly belongs to the owner of this body and has not been reclaimed by that adult.
The Seventh Xiangling.
The Seventh Xiangling.
The Seventh Xiangling.
The Seventh Xiangling.
The Seventh Xiangling.
As he murmured this familiar yet unfamiliar name, something deep in Shi Wuqi's heart was about to stir. Any memory was about to come out. Could it be Lord Ruyue's name that was taken back? The sudden uneasiness made his heart feel like there was a fire.
It's burning, painful and itchy. But that place cannot be touched with just hands.
Don't think about it anymore...it's useless, don't think about it anymore.
Can't remember.
Even if you think about it, what's the use?
So stop thinking about it.
The call did not last long, but there were still many preparations for the ceremony. The burning incense floated in the mountains, extending into every gap in the grass and trees. Utsuki-kun was already very tired, but she did not stop. The stars in the sky were still there
Bright, like eyes paying close attention to everything at the moment.
Finally, the ceremony ended.
Lying there was still Kisaragi-kun with her eyes closed. Before, her expression and body were still under her control, but today, she has not shown any signs of activity for a long time. It is very simple, the spiritual power stored in her body
It was almost completely consumed. Shi Wuqi and others had tried to replenish it with other plants or small animals before, but in order to prepare for this ceremony, she had been silent for too long.
"...It should be a failure, right?"
Utsuki-kun turned around and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She managed a smile, as if she was trying to tell everyone that this was not a big deal.
But what she saw was not the disappointed expressions of everyone, but...
