The world is restarting

Chapter 245 The Year's Bureau

It was the first time that Takihime met the famous Abe Seimei in private. When the other party looked at her, he sighed softly, "Mr.

The great Onmyoji's long-distance gaze seemed to have passed through time and space, and at that time he had already seen the bleak fate imposed on her, and there was a faint look of compassion that could be called compassion in the bottom of his clear and watery eyes.

Takihime just smiled and said that she did something wrong and she should bear it.

She hadn't known then that long hours could be the worst curse in the world.

She asked the Great Onmyoji to help her find the mermaid meat, and exiled herself out of time.She stayed in her youth forever, watching the people she knew grow old one by one, but she had to work hard to survive until the day when her father was resurrected again after a thousand years.

Just like she said to Abe Seimei, this is her sin.It was she who helped Fujiwara Junyou find his father's body, and it was she who completed most of the plans for him and killed countless innocent people.

Her father, Ping Jiangmen, has since become a legend and can no longer really die.Later, countless people will covet his power and treat him as a useful puppet.Only she will remember that the feared ghost was also a human being with a generous family and a happy family. He would laugh and put her on his shoulders, teach her to ride a horse and shoot an arrow, and say, "My Takihime is the most beautiful in the world." girl" father.

In order for her father to be able to truly rest in peace, she worked hard to live through the lonely and long years.

The prosperous Ping'an Dynasty went from its peak to decline, the Ping family was completely destroyed, the power of the former high-ranking officials began to decline, the descendants of friends opened up a new regime, and the era of the Wu family officially began.

The world changes, time goes by, fewer and fewer people still remember her, she is like a ray of exiled lonely soul, wandering in the noisy world.

Time has lost its meaning to her.One day many years later, she passed by the shore of Lake Biwa and stopped at the battlefield where Genji and Heiji fought, and accidentally ran into an old friend.

At that time, she was almost unable to bear it, and the long time turned the loneliness into poison, which penetrated into her internal organs.If it weren't for the support of her beliefs, her spirit would have collapsed and gone crazy.Under such circumstances, when she met the innocent Lord Ghost King again, she was almost so grateful that she wanted to cry.

"Huh? Aren't you the daughter of Ping Jiangmen?"

At that time, the handsome and proud ghost king hadn't changed at all compared to many years ago. Time had whittled her down to a pale and fragile piece of paper, but to this big monster, it seemed that it was just a few fuelwoods added to his flame.His aura became more and more domineering, but she seemed to have absorbed warmth and courage from it. After wiping away her tears, she bowed down to say hello.

I don't know if it was due to an old friend, but this time Shuten-douji finally gave her a look or two, and asked her why she was here.

Takihime calmly explained that she had eaten mermaid meat to survive until now, and told him her plan.

"You want to kill Ping Jiangmen completely?" Ghost King finally seemed to be a little interested after hearing her words.

Takihime shook his head, "Didn't you say that? Father died many years ago. What I'm doing now is to make up for my mistakes and hope that he can get complete peace."

"But you are almost unable to hold on anymore." The ghost king looked into her eyes sharply and pointed out, "You have to live as a human being, but you are about to become a ghost."

Takihime was silent for a moment, then whispered helplessly, "You are right, I am just an ordinary human being after all, and a thousand years is too heavy for me."

Her slender eyelashes drooped slightly, covering up the exhaustion piled up in her eyes, "I'm really...too tired..."

During the time when her voice rolled into the dust, no one spoke, and the Ghost King's gaze seemed to fall on her for a few seconds.

"Go to sleep when you're tired." He said suddenly.

Takihime looked up in surprise, and saw that the big monster had casually looked away, tapped the wine glass with his slender fingers, and a mountain rabbit squatting on the wine table next to him obediently hopped over to pour him wine.

"You have already made the arrangements that should be made, and the rest of the world has nothing to do with you. Instead of continuing to wander in the world, you might as well go to sleep. When you wake up, it's almost time."

With a flick of his pale fingertips, the glass of wine in front of him was sent out by an invisible evil spirit, and Takihime subconsciously caught it and held it in his palm.

"Drink this glass of wine."

Takihime was startled, and understood what he meant.Her fingers holding the wine glass trembled slightly, she stood up and respectfully saluted like a big monster, then lifted the wine glass to her lips gratefully.

But before she drank it, she paused for a moment, and asked her doubts in a low voice, "Why are you willing to help me? I thought that ordinary human beings like me would not be noticed by you. ..."

After she finished asking this question, she originally thought that Shuten would not answer.The big monster did not speak, and only held his chin with one hand, his gaze fell aimlessly on the distant lake, as if lost in memory.

After a long silence, he suddenly opened his mouth without warning, "I used to think that human beings, although there are a few that can be seen, are generally very boring. No matter how bright the soul is, it becomes It only takes a moment to be so ugly that it cannot be seen, just like a flower crushed into the mud and turned into a residue, it is too boring."

"But a little ghost told me that human beings are different from flowers. Flowers will not return to the branches after they wither, but human beings can always start again."

Takihime was startled, and subconsciously thought of someone.

"Do you want to make amends?" The ghost king's eyes fell on her again, "Then let me see if it is true that human beings have infinite possibilities as she said."

At that moment, the bitterness in Takihime's heart finally flooded into waves and tsunami rushing up to the embankment, a line of clear tears rolled down from under her drooping eyelashes, and two drops fell into the wine glass.Looking at her own eyes reflected in the swaying water, she actually felt relieved.

She suddenly realized that she was not really alone all the way, someone believed in her, and someone was waiting for her in the future.

As if the exhaustion and shackles in her heart were washed away by tears, she drank the glass of wine given to her calmly and peacefully, and fell asleep in the ancient battlefield, peacefully waiting for the day when she should wake up.

I don't know how much time passed after that.She heard a girl crying and was awakened unexpectedly.

After opening her eyes from a long sleep, the first thing she saw was a young girl in a scarlet kimono.

After the girl was shocked for a moment, she didn't know what she had misunderstood, and she knelt down to her in the manner of worshiping a god.

"Are you the goddess sleeping in this land?" The girl who called herself Sakuragawa Saki cried and said, "I am willing to dedicate everything I have to you. I just ask you to save my family. Please, save me." Save the Sakuragawa family, save my sister..."

The girl ate mermaid meat, but her physique couldn't bear the mermaid's strength, and she died soon.

Takihime looked at her quietly, and said softly, "Then, lend me your identity."

Ping Jiangmen was still bound in place by blood-red chains, but he stopped struggling, like a wild beast suddenly giving birth to a vague intelligence, his eyes fixed on the woman walking towards him, his mouth was broken. And indistinctly issued fine syllables.

"Taki..."

"Shomon, kill her!" Fujiwara Junyou yelled from behind, "Don't you remember your hatred? Standing in front of you is your enemy, kill her!"

The magic circle on the ground was full of red light, and the sanity in Ping Jiangmen's eyes became blurred again.

"Father," Takihime came step by step to the gigantic ghost-like figure, "I've been looking for you, don't you remember, I'm Takihime."

"Taki..."

"Yes, even if you don't remember me, you should remember your mother, right?"

She pulled out the silver hairpin from her temples with her backhand, held it flat to her side, and opened her hand lightly.A bright light floated on the surface of the silver hairpin, and a slender figure appeared in the light.

Ping Jiangmen's eyes were attracted to him, and when that figure was reflected in his eyes, his sanity seemed to become clear again.

"Biankyo..."

"Father," Takihime said softly, "Mother and I have been waiting for you for many, many years..."

"Jiangmen! That woman betrayed you!"

Fujiwara Junyou roared, "Those two women betrayed you, kill them, kill them quickly!!"

This hoarse roar was like a needle piercing Ping Jiangmen's body. His tall body trembled slightly as if he had been stabbed, and he stopped at a loss.The rich aroma of wine was carried by the wind, and the clear wine condensed in the air again, seeping into Ping Jiangmen's body like wisps of mist.

A certain slowly rotating seal was carelessly brushed by the demonic aura of the ghost king, and the first crack was overwhelmed.

Hei Shomon stared awkwardly at Kikyo who was smiling gently in the light, then turned back to look at Takihime with a sad face.

The memory fragments of Yoshimitsu Kataha began to wake up in his mind, dotted with dots, gathered into a torrent, slammed into the seal, and broke through the shackles in one fell swoop.

As if finally waking up from a big dream, the blood in Ping Jiangmen's eyes and pupils was washed away layer by layer, and he didn't know when Jinxi was and looked at the world he was in.

"Have I returned to this world again..." He let out a long sigh, and the violence and killing intent gradually faded from his brows.He looked at the person in front of him, finally only tenderness and pity remained in his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work, Takihime."

"Shomon, what are you talking about?!" Fujiwara Junyou shouted in shock, "Didn't you understand what I said? Your daughter betrayed you!"

"No, Chunyou." Ping Jiangmen finally turned his head and looked at his old friend with a sad face, "I betrayed them..."

On the other side, in the dilapidated house.

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the altar in front of him and finally the sacred tablet of Lord Taishan Prefecture, and earnestly joined his hands together to worship, "When was this prepared?"

"It was prepared by Takihime and her, I don't know, it must have been a long time."

Zetian Yazheng was writing the sacrificial oration to Lord Taishan seriously at his desk, and standing next to that "she" - a pale little girl with a doll's head, was carefully grinding for her. The one who came to deliver steamed buns to her in the middle of the night when she arrived at Sakuragawa's house.

Odasaku glanced at the child who was not human at first glance, "Is she?"

"Have you seen it before? It's the unnamed child of the Sakuragawa family."

The child raised his head slightly, and smiled timidly at him, wondering if he didn't make this expression often, it was a little stiff and weird.

It took Oda Sakunosuke a while to remember who the "unnamed child of the Sakuragawa family" was.

It is the black mud-like monster that can turn Lake Biwa into a chaotic sea.

He was silent, did not continue to talk about this issue, and instead asked, "What are you doing now?"

"Now?"

Little Lolita finally stopped writing, thought for a while, straightened up and pointed out with the pen holder, and circled the little girl beside the table by the way, then said softly, "I'm trying to find a way to send them home."
