"Aji, Aji... Although one arm is missing, I heard that it can be replaced with ceramics. It will be no different from my own... I know that it is not your part after all, but
There is no way, at least make it up and look more beautiful. You told me that girls should be beautiful, and I want you to always be beautiful."
"You just have to make do with it first. He also said that he has a way to give you a more powerful human arm - it also has the magical power of the ghost fairy. That girl relied on this power to make the big toy she made.
Beat it to pieces. If I can give it to you, it would be good. Aji...that troublesome woman is dead, and I have to support you on my own again."
"But it doesn't matter, you have been raising me before. At least she turned into a flower and can no longer live, and she will not give us any more sermons in the future. If you think about it this way, are you a little happy? Hmm...
…I don’t know why, I’m not happy at all. It’s not that she died beautifully, I’m just a little jealous…but she’s so powerful, you think so too, right?”
"To this day, I have no way out. I originally wanted you to be human, so it doesn't matter if I turn into a demon. But, but... even if it comes to pieces, I will do my best for you.
, I will think of a way. I will..."
The night is dark and the wind is warm. In midsummer, it is difficult to find a cool place at any time. When the white harpy raised its head, it saw another white shadow passing on the dark sky. Behind it
Chasing the rustling light spots, like locust flowers.
"I didn't know you were still alive."
Hearing this, the white harpy didn't look back in a hurry. He was still looking at the sky, and the white shadow had disappeared. But he knew that the woman standing behind him was the owner of the dog that day.
"It's not uncommon for monsters to live for eighteen hundred years. Even half-monsters can do the same."
He finally answered, and his voice was still that of a young man. But after so long, Mr. Shuangyue no longer remembered what his voice sounded like. Even when he turned his head, his young face was unfamiliar. However, his demeanor
Like his voice, there was an indescribable "oldness" to it. As a lord, he was not as heroic as Kong Lingbei. But who didn't have a cool past? Today, they all look similar.
Or maybe they all lost a lot of people, including important people.
A young man dressed in white shook out a colorful feather fan, which was made of peacock feathers.
"I did not participate in that battle," Lord Shuangyue said, "but I am aware of those things. I heard that Kong Lingbei formed an alliance with you and that's why he summoned so many people."
The young demon bird smiled lightly and said: "Yes, who would fight an unprepared battle? But who would send his men to die in vain. I know who is there, so I am willing to allocate my men."
"...It's a pity."
Lord Shuangyue didn't know what to say, so she had to confess the three most basic words that came to her mind. Naturally, she was considered Long Miao's friend. She never thought that it would end up like this. Even the body...
"No matter whether humans or monsters are born in the world, they will eventually perish one day, and my half-demon brother is no different." Cang Yu shook his head, and his tone seemed to be looking away, but he didn't seem to be. "He was originally
Promise me that when the fallen leaves return to their roots, they will return to their hometown. He said that he especially likes the locust flowers blooming here, like the down of birds and the snow in summer."
Mr. Shuangyue was a little surprised: "You..."
"We will meet from time to time, didn't you expect? Hahahaha..."
Cangyu smiled, his face was a bit mature, a bit steady, but he was completely different from the person in Mr. Shuangyue's impression. They almost never met again, and in the long four to five hundred years, she only heard his voice once or twice.
News. All kinds of people in the world and
There are too many demons, and the Six Paths of Impermanence are not all-knowing and omnipotent. They are often so busy with three or two tasks that they can't even take care of their own affairs. This time, Cangyu took the initiative to ask someone to contact Shuangyue Lord and had no other entrustment. He just wanted to
Just chat.
Do you really have nothing to entrust to her? Entrust her to do things, ask her to find someone, nothing? Shuangyue Jun thought that she might be lenient. Maybe Cang Yu was afraid that she would disappear, so she let the people who came say that nothing happened.
, just reminiscing about old times. Although they only chatted for a few words in the beginning, she had a vague feeling that this person really just... wanted to talk.
It's that simple.
But when someone dies, it is always a heavy thing.
"Do you guys see each other very often?"
"Of course there aren't that many opportunities." Cang Yu spread his hands, "You know, he has always played the role of Lord Uoyue's guard and rarely has time to act alone. We only meet once every two or three years, but we still meet each other every time.
We can chat quite well. Sometimes, we don’t see each other for five or six years.
We have seen each other once, but we have seen each other many times over the years. We both said that the other person has changed a lot...for the better, of course. He no longer struggles with his name or identity. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing, but I
It will be good to know that he is no longer confused."
"That's right."
Lord Shuangyue stiffly agreed. She thought of a lot, but in the end she couldn't say anything.
"I heard that you once had an older brother..." Cang Yu suddenly said, "Although it was a long time ago."
Mr. Shuangyue was silent for a moment.
"Well, yes."
"You are the Six Paths Impermanence. Have you ever thought about going to look for his soul?" At this point, Lord Shuangyue seemed to want to say something, but Cangyu raised her hand and interrupted her. "Don't get me wrong, I didn't ask you to do this.
It means. Death is like a lamp going out, that’s pretty much what it means. I won’t care about the dead people who are reincarnated. That’s not the case after all.”
"You also know this truth." Mr. Shuangyue breathed a sigh of relief, "Honestly, I wouldn't do this. My thoughts are probably similar to yours. Although this is the beginning of impermanence, I did think about it.
I glanced at my parents and my brother, but... in the end I felt that it was better not to see them. They were no longer the same people they were back then. What's more, if they were reincarnated as cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, what should I do and what could I do?
What? Thinking about it, it’s best for me to do nothing and watch nothing.”
"You are right. So regarding my brother, I am not going to look for traces of him. Regarding this, you can rest assured that I am not a monster who does such things for favors."
"..."
Shuangyue Jun regretted her previous "malicious speculation". She could feel that Cang Yu was so sincere. Cang Yu shook the hem of his clothes and sat directly on the soft grass. Shuang Yue Jun hesitated for a while and sat down not far from him.
Next to them, the two of them just held their legs with their own thoughts and looked up at the moon. The moon was very round, very bright, and very beautiful.
"Monsters have a much longer lifespan than humans. They may have countless children in their life, and they are not all the same parents. Don't humans with good conditions also take concubines? However, not all monsters can die in peace, and some even
Youkai of many races will die together. But broadly speaking, monsters have too many brothers and sisters, so the family connection is relatively weak. I have always been incompatible with some of my kind... You know, I will care about him. Then
It's my father
I left my only son besides myself. I didn’t care about his identity. I just felt unparalleled joy when he was still young. This joy did not fade with the years. On the contrary, when I fully understood
After that, his thoughts also changed, and he was no longer obsessed with making him one of us. Over a long period of time, I gradually realized that when I did stupid things at that time, it was not that I did not accept his human part.
He is just worried that his fellow tribesmen will not accept him."
Cangyu suddenly said a lot, and his tone was always calm, but Shuangyue Jun only felt that her throat was choked. She had lived long enough, but she still had an indelible feeling of brotherly love. This was difficult to follow.
Time has been erased, maybe it's not long enough. Sometimes she also feels that she
She has completely given up, like a completely rootless duckweed, and no longer has any feelings for her family. But she has also saved countless lives and brought one family back to perfection, which is somewhat obsessed with her.
I thought I could forget it, but I didn't. Most of the time I just didn't think about it.
When she suddenly mentioned it like this, she still felt unspeakably sour.
"But what does it matter? I can accept it." Cang Yu raised his hands, "I am now the lord of one party. Even if the others don't accept it, they won't have the chance to open their mouths. Not to mention all the monsters, at least among us
Here, power is the absolute right to speak, and every monster obeys from the bottom of his heart. I welcome him back at any time, he said, it may be difficult, he is always busy... busy with other people's affairs, his own affairs. He
As a joke, he said that he would be buried when he died."
"..."
"I'm sorry, I talked so much about myself. The main reason is that I can't find anyone to talk to about this," Cang Yu smiled again, "No one will understand. But maybe, you can understand. That's all, why not,
Tell me about you? How do you humans think about those brotherhoods? I regret telling you now. If I had seized the opportunity to chat like today, I would have understood his human side earlier.
Alright."
"I...have nothing glorious to do." Shuangyue Jun said frankly, "I regret it very much, and I still do to this day. Although people often say that regret is useless, I deeply believe it, but at the same time, I don't think anything can be changed without regret.
.I felt this way before I was alive, and I still feel this way now. He
He loved us, but I was not able to talk to him as much as a normal brother and sister, or write more letters to him when he was still alive. I was young and energetic, and I never wanted to face the same fate as my father.
But that is no longer important, I only know that he is my brother."
"Really..." Cang Yu lowered his head slightly, "I'm luckier than you. He accepted me while he was alive. However, it was also the time when he lived far beyond the human lifespan."
"Life is short no matter what." She sighed softly, "Even if the six paths are impermanent, they will die. In the vicissitudes of the world, there has never been any eternal life. Everything in the world has the destiny and right to end."
"That's right."
"I have seen and helped many brothers and sisters. Some are full of suspicion, and even have murderous intentions; there are also some who share the same hardships, life and death. I am somewhat envious of a pair of fox brothers and sisters..." Lord Shuangyue suddenly said, "Although I
Don't know them well enough, but
I heard from my colleagues that they were so close and traveled hand in hand. They had a human friend, a girl, who also risked his life for his sister. Human affection is a colorful thing. Clean and dirty are all colors.
.”
"But for human beings, turning into a monster for this reason is probably a bit twisted, right?" Cang Yu said, "My brother and Lord Uoyue lost their lives for such a person..."
Thousands of words were choked in his throat, but in the end, Lord Shuangyue said nothing.
