Chapter 202 Buried Memories
Xiaoxue asked in surprise: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you need to say goodbye to Master Qingming?"
Fran smiled and urged, "No need, the timing is just right now, and if you miss it, it will be unlucky."
"Oh?" Xiaoxue pinched her fingers and calculated, then sighed after a while: "Sure enough, I'm still far away... Well then, let's go!"
"Good boy." Fulan smiled slightly and greeted: "Come with me, the passage connecting the Yin and Yang realms is here."
Xiaoxue followed Fulan all the way to a place similar to a shrine.This place is quiet and deserted, but even a half-assed Onmyoji like Xiaoxue can sense the dense barriers around and inside the shrine.
No wonder, apart from a few paper shikigami to clean such an important place, there is no powerful shikigami guarding it at all.Because there is no need at all, just these powerful barriers are enough to make more than [-]% of the invaders retreat.
At this time, Xiaoxue also realized that something was wrong. Fran who brought her here did not directly enter the shrine as she imagined, but dispelled the layers of barriers in the shrine at a very fast speed.
"Lan, this..." Xiaoxue looked at Fran with a serious expression in surprise.
"Don't talk, follow me, step on my steps, don't walk around!" Fran's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, her hands quickly pinched the seal, and she muttered words.With the sound of her footsteps, layers of barriers disappeared, and then changed forms not far behind, and quickly rebuilt.
"This..." Xiaoxue stared at the magical scene dumbfounded, and realized that Fran was cracking and dissolving the original barrier of the shrine while rebuilding the modified defensive barrier behind them.
An unbelievable thought quickly flashed through Xiaoxue's mind: "Who is she guarding against?"Are there any pursuers behind?Could it be... Could it be Lord Seimei? '
'how so? !In the end what happened? '
For a moment, Xiaoxue felt cold sweat all over her back, and couldn't help following Fulan's pace.
"Here we are, right in front." Not long after, Fran stopped to break the curse, and said to Xiaoxue, "The channel between the yin and yang worlds is a formation. When the time comes, you stand in the formation, and I will input the spirit into the formation." The force teleports you out."
Xiaoxue's eyes widened for a moment, and she asked in astonishment, "Lan, aren't you with me?"
Fulan shook her head: "There must be someone who presides over the formation and inputs spiritual power. Don't worry, take this." Fulan handed Xiaoxue a jade card engraved with a spell, and quickly explained: "When you arrive at Yang After the world, bury this jade tablet in a place full of spiritual power, this is the coordinates of my space transformation, I will go there through this coordinates, and find you, understand?"
Xiaoxue nodded ignorantly, and suddenly got excited and asked, "Lan, what happened? Master Qingming, did he..."
Fulan pushed Xiaoxue into the formation, and said: "It's too late to explain, Seimei...I don't know how to explain it to you, but his purpose is not simple. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I will find an opportunity to send you off first." leave."
Xiaoxue asked anxiously: "But, what do you do?"
Fulan activated the formation quickly, and comforted her: "I'm fine, I have my own way to escape. When you reach the Yang Realm, don't be afraid. If you encounter danger, just summon Yiqi Yizhen."
"Also, don't trust anyone!"
"Back to Izu, 'home' has the power to protect!"
Fran turned her head suddenly, and said solemnly: "He's here, go!" After saying that, Fran increased the intensity of spiritual power transmission.
The mighty surge of spiritual power interfered with Xiaoxue's vision.Her consciousness became more and more confused, and she suddenly felt a force pulling herself.She knew that it was the dizziness caused by the space transfer.
In the increasingly blurred field of vision, Xiaoxue vaguely saw a figure appearing at the door behind Fulan. She opened her mouth to remind, but found that she couldn't utter a word.
The light of the formation fell, and the girl in the middle of the formation disappeared. Fran breathed a sigh of relief, and said without looking back: "You are here."
After a long silence, a deep male voice sounded from the entrance of the shrine.
"Did you hear that day?"
Fran responded lightly, "Yes."
Qingming sighed and said, "Actually, I can explain it. But you don't want to hear it, do you?"
Fran raised her head, looked at the beam above the shrine, and asked, "Then, can you explain to me, what are you all planning?"
"Sorry..." Qingming slowly closed her eyelids, and said heavily, "Sorry, this is the only thing I can't do."
"Alas..." With a long sigh, Fran said, "Then, there is no need to explain."
She turned around, looked deeply at Seimei, and said softly: "Ibaraki reminded me, Jiuten also reminded me, everyone said you were bad, but I believe in you, I believe that you will always be a friend I can trust .”
"Seimi, but what about you? Back then, you hid the news from me. When I was concerned about your soul fusion, you hid the fact that you split from the dark side. Now, I propose to use the Well of Bone At the time, you concealed what you did to the Well of Bone Eaters. On the other hand, you secretly had an ulterior plan with those two bastards, even when I asked you, you still chose to refuse to tell. "
"Qingming, I've given you a chance, but have you given me a chance to trust you?"
Qingming looked at Fulan quietly, and asked, "So, did you send that girl away privately because you were afraid that I would hurt her? Or were you worried that I would use her to blackmail you? It turns out that I am already like this in your heart." Does despicableness exist?"
Fran asked back, "Qingming, do you dare to say that you haven't thought about it?"
Seimei was silent.
"So, I can't put my trust in you anymore, Qingming, I'm not a crazy gambler. I lost two bets, which is enough for me to get out." Fran's voice became softer and softer, as soft as a Sigh without weight.
"I understand..." Qingming turned around, stopped looking at Fran, and said to himself: "Lan Ji, I don't want to make you sad, let alone hurt you. If my existence makes you feel embarrassed , I'm sorry, I will take the initiative to leave."
"But, can you not say anything to me?"
"Just take it as, leave the last bit of dignity to my old friend..."
Fran looked at Qingming's receding back, feeling indescribably complex and indescribable, and in the end, all her emotions could only be turned into a bewildered sigh.
-------------
"What's going on? After 1000 years of tossing, you have decided to quit now? If you give up, I won't give up. Give me your body, and I will handle it."
"Shut up, don't worry about it."
"Qingming, can you stop being so cowardly? After being criticized for a few words, you quit voluntarily? Where's your thick skin?"
"Hehe, if I don't take the initiative to take a step back, I can only be treated the same as that one at that time!"
"...Now what?"
"It has nothing to do with you, don't show up in An'an, I have my own measure."
"...But according to your arrangement, the favorability is about to drop below the horizon, so I'll do it."
"Are you really so confident after being stabbed? You can't be hard on her, don't worry, don't worry..."
---------------
After lingering in the underworld for several days, I said goodbye to Ibaraki Shuten after explaining.Only then did Fran activate the space transformation, away from the underworld and the people there that made her feel complicated.
After arriving in Yang Realm, Fran realized that she was in a quiet and cool cave with winding vines.The sound of rushing water came from my ears, as if there was a waterfall next to it.The air is full of water vapor and abundant spiritual power, it is really a good place for good fortune.
Fran gently pushed aside the luxuriant vines hanging from the entrance of the cave, and walked out, the oncoming sunlight was slightly dazzling.On the grassland not far away, several lively children were chasing and playing. They noticed a woman walking out of the deep cave by the waterfall, and they scattered in fright.
"It's the spider spirit, the spider spirit has come out, run away!"
"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L L L L L L A L E N E S T T I O N
"Run, run!"
'Spider spirit? Fran froze for a moment, turned her head to look at the magnificent waterfall not far away from the mountain rock, and then looked back at the cave full of green vegetation, knowing it in her heart.
'Here... is Shizuren Waterfall in Izu? '
"Miss!" Suddenly, a voice interrupted Fran's thoughts. She looked up and saw an old man in a fisherman's costume talking to herself in English with a strange accent.
"Miss, tourists are not allowed to enter those caves casually, it's too dangerous!"
"Sorry." Fran apologized softly, "Sorry, I don't know."
The old man waved his hands again and again: "It's okay, just pay attention later. Where's your tour guide? Did you get separated from the team?"
Just as Fran was thinking about how to answer, a girl's figure quickly ran over from not far away.
"Lan! Lan!"
The girl wore a simple white dress and a beige straw hat with a wide brim, looking like a girl next door.
"Lan, you're finally here!" Xiaoxue ran over panting, and grabbed the corner of Fulan's clothes. She felt that she had indeed grasped the real thing, and she was relieved.
"Liuhua, is this lady your friend?" the old man asked curiously.
"Ah, it's Grandpa Shimada, hello!" Xiaoxue hurriedly bowed to greet her, and explained, "Yes, Lan is my friend."
The old man called Grandpa Shimada said with a smile: "Don't let your friend get lost. Although Tiancheng Mountain is a tourist attraction, some places have not been developed, which is very dangerous. Foreign tourists are very curious. It’s not good to be in danger.”
"Yes, Grandpa Shimada, I will pay attention." Xiaoxue nodded.
"Hehe, Liuhua, then you guys go play, old man, I'm going back to go fishing." The old man walked away with a cane and a smile.
Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to hold Fulan's hand, and said with emotion: "It can be regarded as coping."
Fran asked curiously, "Is that old man your elder?"
Xiaoxue scratched her cheek and explained with a smile: "Ah, there are not many local residents here. I grew up here, so many neighbors know me. That is the grandfather of the Shimada family. He is very kind. I often come to the waterfall to fish."
Fulan nodded to show her understanding, and smiled again: "So your real name is Liuhua, isn't that Snow Flower? That's why you named your code name 'Snow'..."
Xiaoxue replied briskly: "Yes, my mother said it was because there was a lot of snow in the year I was born, and the snowflakes were big and white. She had never seen such beautiful snowflakes. So, she thought I was a snow fairy The child you bring will be named Liuhua.”
"りっか (六花), a very good name, catchy and beautiful in meaning." Fran agreed.
Xiaoxue smiled embarrassedly, and suggested: "Hey, Lan, let me take you to my house, it's nearby."
"It seems that you have reconciled with your family?"
Xiaoxue explained as she walked: "After I got here, I went back to Izu. Here, I saw my mother and grandma. They were very excited when they saw me. That's when I knew that Dad wanted to find me. , I have almost traveled all over Tokyo, and they even thought that something happened to me... Seeing my mother and their tired and old appearances, I realized what family means, and I also realized how much I used to go too far..."
Fran listened quietly to Xiaoxue's rambling words, she didn't feel that it was long-winded, but a kind of warmth welled up in her heart.
'It's nice to have family waiting...'
"Here, it's here. This is our family's ancestral house." Xiaoxue pointed to a quaint house in front and said.
Seeing the house in front of her clearly, Fran's pupils suddenly shrank.
"This is...how could this be?!"
In an instant, countless clues were connected together, flashing from the bottom of Fran's heart like a revolving lantern.In a trance, a short fragment suddenly appeared in her mind:
The gentle and beautiful young woman held a little girl's hand, pointed to a quaint old house and said, "Honey, this is grandma's hometown."
The little girl asked softly: "Grandma? Is grandma the mother of mother? But I have never met grandma."
The young woman gently stroked the little girl's head, and said softly: "Because grandma passed away very early, so the baby has never seen her."
"Then mother doesn't have a mother? Mother is so pitiful..." The little girl hugged the young woman's thigh sadly.
The young woman bent down and hugged the little girl, and said softly: "Mum is not pitiful, she still has a baby."
"Speaking of which, baby and grandma are also very destined."
"Huh?" The little girl opened her eyes wide and looked at her mother curiously.
The young woman smiled softly and explained: "Grandma's name is the same as the baby's. Grandma's name is Rikka (Roman pronunciation)."
"Then why is it the same? It's obviously different." The little girl frowned, a little puzzled.
The young woman gently took the girl's hand, and gently wrote hiragana on her tender palm.
"Look, the writing is the same."
"You are all the purest white snowflakes in my mother's heart..."
The author has something to say: My life experience has basically been revealed. Those who understand Japanese should have already seen it. It’s just a word game.Shhh, don't say what you see~ I hinted at it a long time ago, Ibaraki compared Flan to a flower, but it's not a flower, but a snowflake~
