Chapter 139 139
into the night.
At the station near Otsu, a train came in and stopped.The black smoke on the roof of the carriage gradually dissipated, and passengers, men and women, got off the train with their suitcases.Most of them were business travelers, including Westerners with deep outlines, and men in cloaks and hard caps.
Yuna took Yue Yan's arm and got off the train, shivering slightly from the cold of the night.Although it was the capital of the ancient Omi Kingdom, due to the distance from the coast, there were no civilized and prosperous cities near Otsu at this time, only small towns and mountain villages.Looking from the platform, it is a mountain and night.
"Is it cold?" Seeing her shaking slightly, Yueyan took off his coat and put it on her shoulders, and said in a rather apologetic tone, "This journey has made you tired, go to rest now .I have private property here, don't worry."
What he said, Yuna was a bit imaginative - oh, a man and a woman who went on a trip alone and stayed in a room at night, and the other was a man with such outstanding looks and temperament...
Then she was assigned a single room by Yue Yan.
Yueyan's private property is a local private house called "Zhuqingzhuang". It is a fairly traditional longhouse courtyard, elegant and beautiful, surrounded by mountains and forests, deserted and lonely.She and Yueyan share a room, and they are far apart.Yue Yan also said very gentlemanly: "If you have any questions, you can talk to me directly."
Yuna: ...
"Is Yue Yan going to rest now?" Yuna asked him.
"That's not true, it's just that I need to deal with some personal matters. After all, I'm here for work." Yue Yan replied.
"Then, tonight..."
Yue Yan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said with a gentle smile: "Yuna, don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'm not the kind of man who doesn't measure himself."
Yuna: ...
Is this a gentleman? (with no expression.jpg)
The first night in Otsu passed like this.In the early morning of the next day, there was no such person as Yueyan in Zhuqing Manor, so I asked the maid, and it turned out that Yueyan had gone out to discuss business early in the morning.
Yuna: ...
You really came here to do work, Tsukihiko! !
The purpose of her traveling with Yue Yan is to see if she can get closer to this gentleman.But I didn't expect Yue Yanzhen to be so polite and restrained that he didn't do anything at night and just worked during the day.
Yuna sighed and decided to go out by herself.
Because of the cold weather near Otsu, the dresses and skirts she brought seemed out of season.Fortunately, the maids at Zhu Qing Zhuang prepared Japanese-style clothes for her to change into.
"Miss Yuna, Mr. Tsukihiko asked us to prepare these in advance." The maid with a local accent respectfully brought over a change of clothes, "Please try it."
Yuna glanced at it, and found that it was a small-sleeved kimono with Tang Feng color and kudzu leaf pattern. The color was beautiful and quite to her liking, so she nodded.
"Then please open your arms, and I will change your clothes for you."
The process of getting dressed was boring, Yuna asked casually, "Is there anything interesting nearby?"
The maid is a local, upon hearing this, her eyes lit up immediately, and she felt that her talent could be put to good use, and began to introduce some places of interest that only locals know: "
On the waterfall in the east, there is a huge stone!According to legend, it is the stone on which Yoshimisaburo Ito, a samurai from the ancient Omi Kingdom, sat on while resting!There are still many people from the ashram going to see that stone! "
The maid kept talking here and there, talking about many attractions, such as the super cheap roadside tea house selling famous food in Bando, such as the shrine that is particularly effective in seeking wealth, such as the mysterious mountain where it is said that a fox gets married on a rainy day... Etc., etc.
However, what interests Yuna the most is the so-called "Eternal Bliss Teaching".
"That sect is actually not near here, it is quite far away. It is said that it is like this by boat, carriage and walking in the mountains." The maid said mysteriously while combing her hair. Said, "That sect has few people, but the leader has the ability to redeem sinful people."
"Redemption of the guilty?"
"Well, yes." The maid said seriously, "No matter what kind of sins, troubles, sorrows and eight sufferings, as long as you talk to the leader and get the forgiveness of the leader, he can go to the paradise of bliss after death."
Yuna listened with question marks all over her head.
"Is this what you've heard?" she asked.
"Ah, of course I heard about it." The maid compared with a comb, "After all, none of us have ever paid homage to that leader!"
"Then how do you know that the leader can save the world? After all, people can only know whether they have gone to the Land of Ultimate Bliss after they die. But the dead can't tell others 'I didn't go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss at all' Yeah." Yuna asked seriously.
The maid was questioned.
"This... this..." The maid scratched her head, "If you think about it carefully, it seems to be so. But everyone said so, so I always believed it."
After the maid finished dressing Yuna, she took a look in the mirror and felt satisfied, so she put on clogs and went out for a walk.But the area around Zhuqingzhuang is surrounded by mountains and countryside, without traces of modern civilization at all. Although the air is fresh, it is also boring enough.She went to sit on the stone where Ito Yoshimisaburo had rested for a while, drank some tea, and then returned to Zhu Qing Zhuang.
At night, Yue Yan finally came back.
Yuna stood in the corridor and waited for a long time, and finally saw Yueyan in a suit jacket appearing in front of Zhu Qingzhuang's door.Even after a day out at work, he looked personable and spotless, as if he had never experienced any toil.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" He took off his hat and approached Yuna on the porch, "Sorry, I was kept by the guests for a while."
"I haven't waited for a long time." Yuna said, "Have you had dinner? The maid prepared spring tail fish, tofu miso and potato salad. They look pretty good."
Yueyan looked at her intently, and said softly: "I ate it when I was at the guest's side. It's entertainment, so I can't refuse." "It's like this again..." She muttered a little, but Not annoying, and then smiled understandingly, "Then I will enjoy it alone." Yue Yan is always like this, rarely having dinner with her, and eating very little.Despite this, he can still maintain a pretty good figure, and the muscle contour is quite obvious when wearing a shirt, which is really enviable.
"Let me watch you eat." Yue Yan said, "It's just a good time to have a glass of wine."
Yuna nodded.
She and Yueyan walked towards the room, chatting casually as they walked: "Is there one missing maid in the room? The sister named 'Zhen' who came to pick me up yesterday didn't seem to come today."
"Ah, Zhen." Yue Yan seemed to think of something, "She resigned this morning and went home, saying that her sister at home was going to give birth, and she had to go back to help take care of the child and the mother, and she will not come to work in the future."
"That's right!" Yuna said.
Yue Yan smiled lightly and nodded.
While eating dinner, she suddenly remembered the Bliss Cult of Ten Thousand Times that the maid had mentioned, and asked, "Yueyan, do you know the Bliss Cult of Ten Thousand Times?"
Yue Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know. What's wrong?"
Yuna was a little surprised: "Yueyan really knows everything. This is the first time I heard the name of this sect from the maid today!"
Her tone has just the right amount of admiration and admiration.
"Is this sect real?" she asked.
"Yes." Yue Yan nodded.
"I really want to see it." Yuna said, "I heard from the maid that the leader can save people from all their troubles."
After hearing this, Yue Yan seemed to have a headache: "It's not a fun place, it's quite boring. You won't be used to it in the mountains and wild mountains."
"...I see." Yuna's eyes were slightly disappointed.It is always unbearable for a beautiful woman to show such a sad face, not to mention that person has always been omnipotent in her heart.
——"If you can't meet her request this time, it will break her illusion of 'omnipotence'?" Others will definitely think so, and then they can't bear to refuse her request, even if the request is no longer possible. Ritual, barbaric.
Yue Yan's red pupils sank, and his tone was elegant and flat: "Although it is 'salvation', it is just the wishful thinking of the leader. As for whether it is redemption, who knows?"
Yuna pointed inwardly.
She just wanted to see what the so-called redemption looked like!Don't you think your place is called barren mountains and wild mountains?There is nothing scenic but a broken stone on which a samurai sat!
She frowned, tapped the bowl with her chopsticks, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Yueyan, what do you mean—"
"Ok?"
"You said, will we get married?"
Yue Yan was slightly taken aback.
marry……
What word is this?
In the thousands of years he has been a ghost, he has never heard such a ridiculous and innocent vocabulary.However, the beautiful woman in front of her raised this question in a serious manner, without any jokes at all.
For her, marrying herself may be a very happy thing.If she is not a ghost, maybe she will spend the rest of her life in a honey-like dream.
It's just that this dream will be punctured one day.
All I can do is to make this dream last a little longer.In this way, when he eats her, he may feel that the taste is more perfect.
Yue Yan smiled and said, "Of course, if His Excellency the Marquis is willing to part with you—"
"Meaning, we're going to be husband and wife, right?"
"of course."
"Then," Yuna stretched out her hand, grabbed Yue Yan's suit cuff, and said stubbornly, "I want to see the Wanshi Bliss Sect."
Yue Yan's body froze.After a few seconds of silence, he nodded: "Okay."
