"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 prettier. You told me that girls should be pretty, and I want you to always be good-looking."
"You make do with it first. Zhen 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. It was with this power that the girl made the big toy that Li made. Beat it to pieces, and if I can give it to you, it must 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 happier? 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 amazing, 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 monster. 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 bird demon raised its head, it saw another white shadow passing across the dark sky. Behind it are chasing spots of light, like locust flowers.
"I didn't know you were still alive."
After hearing this, the white bird demon didn't look back in a hurry. He was still looking at the sky, but 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, his voice still that of a young man. But it has been so long that Lord Shuangyue no longer remembers what his voice sounded like. Even when he turned his head, his young face was unfamiliar. However, his demeanor and voice had an indescribable "oldness" to them. As a lord, he is not as heroic as Kong Lingbei. But who hasn’t had a cool past? Today, they all look similar.
Or maybe they both 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 didn't participate in that battle," Lord Shuangyue said, "but I already know about 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."
"……Unfortunately."
Mr. Shuangyue didn't know what to say, so he had to express the three most fundamental words that came to his mind. She was naturally considered Long Miao's friend, and she never thought that it would end up like this. Even the remains...
"No matter whether humans or monsters are born in the world, they will surely perish one day, and so will my half-demon brother." Cang Yu shook his head, and his tone seemed to be looking away, but he didn't. "He promised me that he would come back to his hometown when the fallen leaves return to their roots. He said that he especially liked the locust flowers blooming here, like the down of birds and the snow in summer."
Mr. Shuangyue was a little surprised: "You..."
"We meet from time to time, didn't you expect? Hahahaha..."
Cang Yu smiled, his face looked a bit mature and steady, but he was completely different from the person in Lord Shuangyue's impression. They almost never met again, and in the long four to five hundred years, she only heard from him once or twice. There are too many people and monsters of all kinds in the world, and the six realms of impermanence are not all-knowing and omnipotent. They are often too busy with three or two tasks to even take care of their own affairs. This time, Cangyu took the initiative to ask someone to contact Shuangyue Jun and had no other entrustment. He just wanted to have a chat.
Do you really have nothing to ask of her? Ask her to do things, ask her to find someone, nothing? Shuangyue Jun thought that she might be open-minded. Maybe Cangyu was afraid that she would disappear, so she let the people who came say that there was nothing wrong and they were just catching up on 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 been playing 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 talk quite well. Sometimes, we won’t see each other once for five or six years, but over the years, we will see each other many times. We both say that the other party has changed a lot...for the better, of course. He no longer dwells on himself. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but I know he’s no longer confused, and that’s good.”
"makes sense."
Shigeyuki-kun agreed stiffly. 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."
Lord Shuangyue was silent for a moment.
"Well, there is."
"You are the Impermanence of the Six Paths. Have you ever thought about looking 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 mean to ask you to do this. Death is like a lamp going out, that's pretty much what it means. I won't care about the dead people who have been reincarnated. That's not the case after all."
"You also know this truth." Mr. Shuangyue breathed a sigh of relief. "To be honest, I wouldn't do this. My thoughts are probably similar to yours. Although this is the beginning of impermanence, I did think about going to see 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 would be 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 his clothes and sat directly on the soft grass. Lord Shuangyue hesitated for a while and sat down not far from him. The two of them just held their legs with their own thoughts and looked up at the moon. The moon is round, bright and 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 more Youkai of many races will die together. But broadly speaking, youkai 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 He is the only son left by my father besides me. I don’t care about his identity, but when I was still young, I felt unparalleled joy. This joy has not faded over the years. On the contrary, it has always been with me. After thoroughly understanding his thoughts, I also changed, and I was no longer obsessed with making him one of us. Over a long period of time, I gradually realized that it was not that I did not accept him as a human being because I did something stupid at that time. Partly, he’s just worried that his fellow tribesmen won’t accept him.”
Cangyu suddenly said a lot, and his tone was always calm, but Shuangyue Jun only felt that his throat was getting tighter. She has also lived long enough, but she still has an indelible feeling of brotherly love. This is difficult to erase over time, perhaps not long enough. Sometimes she felt that she had completely given up, like a completely rootless duckweed, and no longer had any feelings for the family. But she has also saved countless lives and brought one family back to perfection, which is somewhat of a obsession. She thought she could forget, but no, she just didn't think about it most of the time.
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 for talking 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 been able to understand 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 when I was alive, and I still feel this way now. He loved us, but I was not able to talk or write as many letters to him as ordinary siblings when he was still alive. I was young and energetic. Sheng, I have always been unwilling to face him taking the same path 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. "Even if the six paths are impermanent, you will die. There is no such thing as eternal life. Everything in the world has the destiny and right to end."
"makes sense."
"I have met and helped many brothers and sisters. There are some who are full of suspicion, and even those who have murderous intentions; there are also those who share the same hardships, life and death. I am a little envious of a pair of fox brothers and sisters..." Lord Shuangyue suddenly said, "Although I I don’t know them well enough, but I’ve heard from colleagues that they are so close and travel hand in hand. They have a human friend, a girl, who also fights for her sister with her life. Human affection is a colorful thing. Clean and dirty. Yes, they are all colors.”
"But for humans, turning into a demon for this is probably a bit twisted, right?" Cang Yu said, "My brother, and Uoyue-kun, lost their lives for such a person..."
Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, but in the end, Lord Shuangyue said nothing.
