Chapter 51 Death and Immortality

Shen Yu still remembers the scene when she found the painting. At that time, she had just left the apartment.

She didn't expect that she had painted some paintings that she didn't even know about during her sleepwalking period. When she saw Chu Mitian in the paintings, she felt even more incredible.

What she draws must be a scene that will happen in the future. Of course, this future is not absolute. When she draws it, it also means that this is a future that may be changed.

She once committed stupid crimes out of hatred and world-weariness, using the paintings she drew as bait to deliberately lead residents to kill each other.

"Xingchen, maybe I will come to see you soon."

Shen Yu murmured to herself.

"But I want to atone as much as possible before I die."

She always believed that the death of her lover Bian Xingchen was retribution for her. But why didn't this retribution come to her? People like her didn't deserve to live at all.

"It would be great if I was the one who died that year and not Midnight. Why wasn't I the one who opened the fatal drawer in the warehouse? If that was the case, maybe I could meet the stars."

In the nine years since she left the apartment, Shen Yu has been cursed by this idea all the time. Unable to calm down, she began to calm herself down by writing novels. As a result, she unexpectedly became a popular online novelist.

.She devoted the royalties she earned to charity to alleviate her guilt and inner pain. Until... she met Kitayama Jingryu.

She doesn't know what she can do now. It can be seen from the painting that Chu Mitian is now dead and turned into an evil spirit. And she can live to this day because Chu Mitian and Chu Mitian siblings have sacrificed

It was a big sacrifice. Therefore, she decided to do whatever it took to prevent the dead Mi Tian from turning into a murderous evil spirit in the Scarlet Mission. In order not to worry Mizhen, she and Li Yin were not involved in the new Scarlet Mission.

, she decided to bear everything on her own, even if she died here, she would not hesitate. She even felt that maybe she subconsciously wanted to die here. She did not have the guts to commit suicide, so she hoped to die in the hands of evil spirits.

After all, she knew very clearly that there must be an afterlife.

Just as she was walking through another corridor, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from behind her.

"Um?"

Shen Yu's expression froze, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

She turned around with difficulty, her heart beating strongly.

What will happen behind you?

Then, she opened her eyes wide...



There is a big difference between Lun Entering the Gym and Luo Xinfu Gym.

It is said that this hall may be the oldest among the shrines. The Kitayama family shrine can be traced back to the era of Azuchi Momoyama, and the construction of the Rinner temple was almost the same time as the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate.

After the house was opened, they felt as if they had traveled to ancient Japan, especially Ming Chenyan who often watched Taiga dramas.

"This is this?" As soon as he came in, Mo Yuan noticed a samurai armor placed in the aisle. However, he knew basically nothing about the history of Japan's Warring States Period, so he couldn't tell what the origin of this samurai armor was.

"It's just an imitation." Beishan Jinghuang didn't take it seriously at all and said, "Our family has never produced any decent samurai. In other words, I have always hated our country's samurai culture."

"Do you know if your family had similar supernatural powers at that time?" Qin Ziyuan was not interested in whether Beishan Jinghuang liked samurai, "Or..."

"Probably not. At least if there is, I shouldn't know nothing about it. In fact, I think it's a miracle that our shrine can be maintained for such a long time. During the Azuchi Momoyama period, even the daimyo could eat a bowl

Rice is considered waste."

"Is it just a miracle?" Mo Yuan also noticed this sentence: "Is there no other reason?"

"I am not sure as well……"

She has never been interested in her family's history and doesn't want to know about it.

Why did she say that she didn’t like samurai culture? Maybe it’s because the family’s history left too many places advocating samurai culture. Although her grandfather, Kitayama Shinobu himself, had no trace of bushido at all, and he had no so-called loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

Thoughts, and do not want to die for the country. However, the thoughts of warrior culture have a huge impact on other people in this family.

It's really ironic. At this point, she is just like the grandfather she hates, and the opposite of the Aunt Yukieda she misses. The reason why Aunt Yukio has a soft spot for Mishima Yukio's works is largely due to this

The reason. Mishima Yukio is a scholar, and can also be said to be a samurai. He has always believed that Japan has lost the spirit of samurai culture, and instead has begun to be gradually influenced and transformed by European and American culture. Aunt Yukieda also agrees with this very much.

Real beauty is just a human fantasy. This is the sentence that impressed Aunt Xingzhi the most in her reading notes. In the ending of "The Golden Pavilion", the reason why the hero finally burned down the Golden Pavilion was precisely because of his original love for the Golden Pavilion.

The beautiful illusion of Kakuji Temple was shattered in reality. Mishima finally saw that Japan’s samurai spirit had been shattered, and finally chose to self-destruct, just like the Kinkakuji Temple that was burned by fire. Aunt Xingzhi’s notes said that because

In this way, she could not understand her father, Kitayama Shinobu, who forcibly left something that should have been destroyed in this world.

Destruction, death... A truly perfect thing should be destroyed at the most beautiful moment. Because a truly beautiful thing cannot last long. This is why Aunt Xingzhi wanted to die at that time.

But at this moment, she suddenly thought of something.

"Wait...what did Aunt Xingzhi mean by that sentence she wrote at that time?"

This soliloquy was said in Japanese, so only Ming Chenyan could fully understand it. He quickly asked: "What does that sentence mean? What is it?"

"So Aunt Xingzhi died because she wanted to escape the fate of immortality that her grandfather wanted to impose on her. Because she knew that after eating meat, she would not die. Did she want to die outside the shrine?"

Hearing these words, everyone fell into silence.

"It's so stupid." Qin Ziyuan really couldn't understand Kitayama Yuki's mentality: "If the meat is really as edible as Tang Monk's meat and you will live forever, then I will get it no matter what the price. Life is such a difficult thing

, are you still thinking about dying?"

"In other words," Dong Ning pondered for a while and then said to Beishan Jinghuang: "If you commit suicide outside the shrine, can you really die?"

"I don't quite understand, maybe."

"You can live without death by eating meat. How can such a cheap thing be done?" Yinyu didn't have any hope for this: "The apartment will never be merciful and give us such a plug-in. I know very well that this apartment will only give us cruelty.

, darkness, and death.”

On this point, everyone completely agrees with Dong Ning.

This is the essence of this apartment.

"Perhaps it just means that we will not die in this mission of Scarlet Letter, and it is only effective for this Scarlet Letter." Ming Chenyan still held on to a glimmer of hope: "My understanding is that eating meat will still remain outside the shrine.

It is possible to die, but you will not die in a shrine.”

"No." Kitayama Jinghuang shook his head and said, "I remember it very clearly. My grandfather has always emphasized one thing, that is, if you suffer from a disease that may lead to death, you must return to the shrine before then, even if you have to

Even if you die, you have to die in a shrine. So when my mother was first diagnosed with colorectal cancer, my grandfather asked her to return to Japan immediately."

"Immortality...death...inside the shrine and outside the shrine..."

Dong Ning lifted her bangs from her forehead, and a terrifying suspicion gradually began to emerge in her mind.

"Beishan Jinghuang. Let me ask you a question."

After Jing Huang heard Dong Ning's voice, he looked at her suspiciously.

Dong Ning looked at her seriously, and then asked: "When that incident happened, many servants died in your shrine. But no one in the family died?"

"No... no one died."

"Everyone in your family has eaten that meat, right?"

"No...that's right."

Dong Ning then looked at the long corridor in front of her and said: "None of those dead servants... have eaten meat, right?"
