"We finally meet each other, it's not easy..."
Watching this scene not far away, Gu Mo sighed softly without disturbing the touching moment of reunion between mother and daughter.
If it follows the normal path of fate, Tokichiro will become possessed by the bewitchment of Guoxin, and then Axiu will be stabbed in the back for being careless after defeating Tokichiro... Then the girl will die and enter the Bardo. between--
That is the boundary between this shore and the other shore, where the dead with unfulfilled obsessions will wait day after day.
Waiting for the person you want to see to arrive.
The long-dead Fuka Yoshino or Suzuka Gozen has been waiting there quietly, and the mother and daughter will meet again... She will warn Axiu of many things, and tell Axiu some secrets that she had no time to reveal. Give Axiu some guidance on what to do next, don’t be confused.
only……
That is the original destiny trajectory.
With Gu Mo's intervention, it would be a truly bizarre thing if the Guoxin layman could still succeed in causing trouble and Hidechiyo needed to die once and go to the Bardo. So until now, when she traveled back to the early days of the Heian Era, Axiu saw her mother for the first time.
Of course, there are some differences.
In the original destiny trajectory, Hidechiyo probably did not confirm this matter, but now he confirmed it immediately. After all, her control and exploration of her own bloodline, and her analysis and understanding of the essence of her own life, are far from stopping at her original destiny.
For a brother-in-law whom he has never met before and who has no concept at all in his mind, he may not be completely sure for a while.
At most, just like Otakemaru recognized Hidechiyo as a ghost, Hidechiyo may have simply regarded him as a member of his own race, without realizing that he was his brother-in-law - so when he beat him hard just now, There's not much of a sense of mercy either.
——Although I didn’t try my best, that’s because I didn’t need to go that far.
——As long as you can just kill the opponent, why waste the extra demonic power?
But when facing Suzuka Gozen, facing this aura that he had deeply remembered since his childhood, even though the era was different, the time was different, and there were slight differences, Hidechiyo, who was connected by blood, still keenly confirmed this fact, so It was so overwhelming at this moment.
It was like a dream, I was overjoyed, but I felt scared from the bottom of my heart, for fear that this was just an unreal dream.
"No wonder you insisted on bringing her with you..."
Kikyo next to her nodded slightly, and then asked with some confusion: "But what about the second young lady? Why didn't you bring her here with you? Is it because she has any resentment in her heart?"
After all, the second young lady has never seen her mother since the day she was born. She is more or less resentful and entangled with her mother for abandoning her father and daughter and choosing to leave with her sister without saying a word... We have never spent a day together, and we have never felt maternal love for a day.
Not even an impression could be left behind, and even though I searched through my memories, I could not find a figure named mother. It was hard to tell what a delicate state this complex and tangled emotion would be.
So if this guy takes this into consideration, it seems very possible.
"Ahem, this... I do have some concerns, so I don't think there is any need to drag the second lady over." Gu Mo blinked his eyes first, and then said this with a haha. In fact, he was subtly complaining in his heart. Maybe there was something wrong with him. So there are some factors, but the real point is not this.
There is no need, there is no lack of such a fighting force, and there is no need to put the second lady in the back row to gain bonds... Since the above reasons are not available, then it is not necessary to bring a light bulb as big and bright as hers. Doesn't it seem strange?
——My father-in-law has become suspicious, and he has always been very angry about this...
——If he openly brings the two sisters to meet his mother-in-law again, even he himself will find it really strange...
"You are indeed very powerful, but your brother is immortal. You cannot defeat him with force alone..."
Over there, Suzuka Gozen was talking seriously, staring into Hidechiyo's eyes, and for some reason he suddenly felt relieved about the half-demon girl in front of him. Maybe it's because he feels that the other person is of the same race and has a close aura, or maybe he finds that the other person is a legendary rare person who exudes the same light.
Of course, there may be some unexplainable reasons, but Ms. Suzuka now simply cannot imagine that possibility. She just feels that the girl in front of her makes her feel at ease and can be trusted. And she really had no other choice but to seek help from the other party.
"That's why I stopped you just now. It's unwise to fight head-on with your brother. It's very likely that you will be severely injured, but your brother will recover in an instant..."
Saying this seriously, she sighed softly and glanced at the bloody battlefield.
But now it's not bloody, but it feels clean. After all, the Sanming hurricane just blew away a layer of the land, and it was bombarded again by the extremely strong wind pressure and vacuum created by Hidechiyo's sword pressure. The shock wave plowed the ground again.
Traces of the battlefield, including broken swords, broken halberds, damaged armor, etc., were either violently blown away by the storm, or decomposed by thunder and lightning, and melted by fire and rain. Even the metal could not remain, so how could we expect traces such as pools of blood on corpses? , can you have the opportunity to stay?
Hidechiyo pursed his lips and stared at the strange yet familiar girl in front of him, feeling both happy and uncontrollably disappointed in his heart.
This emotion was so strong that she was a little confused, and she didn't care at all about her mother's taken-for-granted misunderstanding.
"Speaking of which, why don't you speak?" Ms. Suzuka withdrew her gaze and looked at the black-haired girl in front of her with some confusion. It seemed that she had said a lot without knowing it, but the other party did not react. The performance made her feel slightly embarrassed.
"...Madam, please understand that Axiu cannot speak."
A smiling voice came from behind, and she turned around subconsciously to see that the young man and the witch over there had slowly come over.
"Can't speak?" Suzuka Gozen was a little confused, but also a little confused. How could such a powerful ghost be unable to speak? Was he cursed or something? Uh, wait, what did this person just call himself?
She suddenly waved her hands in a panic: "Wait! I, I am not a lady..."
Obviously she is still an unmarried Yunying, what is this person talking about? How does she look like a lady?
"We are rare people, from the future world..."
The young man opposite smiled slightly and spoke pointedly.
"Well, it turns out that this is the case, this, this... Even so, but now, now..." Ms. Suzuka, who is still very young now, was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what the other party was referring to, and she suddenly felt a little confused. He was angry, but also dumbfounded at the same time.
However--
"Axiu, she is your daughter, madam."
The young man opposite smiled indifferently, looked at the black-haired girl over there, and casually gave out a piece of important information.
"..."
"..."
The air suddenly became quiet, and you could hear the drop of a needle. It was so quiet that your eardrums felt a slight tingling sensation.
Hidechiyo's eyes widened in disbelief.
Suzuka Gozen's eyes widened in disbelief.
The movements of mother and daughter are very similar, and their expressions are extremely similar. They are synchronized at this moment, and the two of them are almost standing together. The two girls who are very different but very similar, at this moment, the feeling revealed is... It really feels like a mother and daughter.
"How, how..."
Ms. Suzuka was stunned by such a bomb. She didn't know what kind of expression she should show. She looked blankly at the black-haired girl next to her, then subconsciously looked at the young man opposite, and then shook her hard. He shook his head, and his long silver hair, which was simply tied up, swung back and forth behind him.
Hidechiyo next to her also had a strange expression on her face, although she was indeed very disappointed just now, because the mother and daughter did not know each other, and the mother could not know her, and she recognized the other person, but could not recognize him, so While I was happy, I also felt a little bitter.
Maybe there is always some regret...
There is no way to make up for it. Once some things are in the past, they are indeed in the past. No matter how sad or heart-wrenching it is, what is irreversible is irreversible.
The girl clearly understood this cruel reality, and also understood a truth from her previous experiences of traveling through history. History cannot be changed, it should be what it should be, and what should be faced should still be faced in this way.
But……
Why?
Hidechiyo looked at Gu Mo in confusion.
…………
In the long night, the silver moon is bright and the bonfire burns quietly.
It was the village that had been massacred previously. Everyone took care of the funeral affairs in the village and rested here for the time being tonight. The main reason is that Suzuka Gozen originally felt that this matter needed long-term consideration, and she was a little too messy after being hit by the strange information just now.
In this state, you really need to take a break.
"Don't worry, you can't change history because you need to ensure the normal progress of the causal chain. As long as you understand this, there will be no problem. The world line will not change. I can confirm this..."
Facing the questions from the two witches, Gu Mo sat beside the fire with a calm expression and said this while reaching out to add firewood to the campfire.
"In history, Miss Suzuka forged the Lost Sword of Chu Ye and paid a huge price. She completely lost her guardian spirit like another self, and also lost her strength and memory... In other words, She will still forget these things in the future."
He was also able to confirm this by observing the branches of the timeline.
"Will you lose your memory? It's no wonder."
Kikyo raised her eyebrows. If this was the case, it would indeed fulfill Hidechiyo's obsession and make her career more complete without any regrets.
Glancing at the girl sitting quietly across from the bonfire, I could see that this ghost was rarely filled with joy. While she breathed a long sigh of relief, her face also showed an undisguised expression of joy, and her eyes were full of joy. It seems to be shining.
"It's just that the impact on Suzuka... Miss Suzuka was too great. She was not mentally prepared at all..."
The miko looked away and spoke softly.
"No, no, Axiu is a good boy. Miss Suzuka will definitely be very happy." Gu Mo waved his hand to comfort Hidechiyo next to him, and took out the barbecue grill from the storage space. , a rare camping trip in the wild must have some sense of atmosphere.
"Do you really think it's a happy thing to suddenly have a daughter?"
The witch glanced at him strangely. This man had really healed his scars and forgot about the pain.
"..."
"..."
"Ah hahahaha, this, this... I'll actually be happier..." Gu Mo bit the bullet and said with a guilty conscience, his eyes wandering, "Maybe I can give Miss Suzuka some advice. I’m not sure, there should be some common topics in this regard.”
