People are dying on the pillar, and there is no misery at the beginning

Chapter 253 Extra Volume:——Wedding, Edo Ends
……

The third day since the fireworks display.

night.

Somewhere on the top of a mountain in Kii.

under a tree.

A female voice humming softly, the style is like the bell of a shrine, very beautiful.

Two figures were sitting by the tree, looking up at the bright and gorgeous starry sky through the whirling leaves.

The breeze blew, and the ends of their hair shook.

Under the tree at night, it was somewhat difficult to distinguish the faces of the two.

Can only vaguely hear the conversation between the two:
"Ganlu Temple." A male voice sounded from under the tree, as if he wanted to say something to another person.

The other person turned his head when he heard the words, straightened his waist, his long pink hair dangling faintly:

"Call me Sakuramochi." The tone seemed to be complaining.

The man looked up at Sakura Cake, with a surprised expression on his face:
"...Sakura cake."

Hearing such an answer, Sakuramochi nodded in satisfaction, and then leaned comfortably on the tree again, asking in a good mood:
"Well, what's the matter?"

"The next journey..." The male voice is saying: "We..."

Sakura cake turned her head away, but she interrupted suddenly, but not so abruptly:

"Well, I happen to also want to see this land after the war..."

"Let's go together."

Before the man could answer, Sakuramochi's tone quickened, she turned her head and said:

"But before that, you have to rest in Sagiri Mountain for a while."

"Yes, I know."

……

……

Suli Dojo.

in the hallway.

The two figures stood here facing each other.

"Komaji... Temple..."

Lianxue hung her head, blushed, stuttered nervously, calling Komaji's name intermittently.

As she spoke, she suddenly covered her face, and her voice became even quieter:
"... so difficult..."

Komaji stretched out his hand, patted Lianxue's shoulder, and comforted her:
"Lian Xue Ji." In comparison, when Komaji said this title, it seemed much more natural.

——It would have been better if he hadn't frantically dodged his eyes.

The relationship between Komaji and Lixue seems to be much closer than before.

On the other side, the people sitting and chatting with each other in the courtyard couldn't help looking this way frequently.

Zaomen Jin and others, as well as Qingzang, Huiren and others, sat around the table.

It seems that there is no one sitting at the table, only Shang Quanna who has disappeared.

"Hey, have you noticed?"

"Ah~ Ever since the fireworks display came back, the two of them have been very different~"

Sumire Zamon held her cheek, took a sip of tea, and looked at Komaji and Renyuki who were standing aside in the corridor with a smirk:
"What happened~ I'm so curious~"

Kimura also squinted his eyes, with a look of malicious intentions, and his tone was very upbeat:
"Speaking of which, Ji's palace sounds very different..."

"seem…"

The few people sitting around the table spoke and looked at each other.

Everyone's eyes rolled, and they seemed to understand something:
"Oh--"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Only Qingzang, Huiren, Cangya and their parents looked at each other with an inexplicable feeling in their hearts.

"Haha, haha, come, Mr. Cangya, have a drink..." Qingzang readily wooed Cangya, and he held a small stone wine glass and stuffed it into Cangya's hand.

"Well, haha, haha..." Cang Ye agreed helplessly. Even though his illness has been completely cured, he has never drank alcohol.

"Cough cough cough!!" Cang Ye choked up immediately.

"Hey! Don't drink too much! You smell of alcohol!" Huiren was on the side, looking at Qingzang sullenly, and lit him with his hand.

"Okay, okay." Qingzang smiled and nodded quickly, and put down the wine glass in his hand.

The atmosphere of the party at night was very cheerful.

Although no one knew exactly what happened to the two of them during the fireworks display, they all had a vague guess.

On the top of Lianxue's head—the extra, white ice crystal-like snowflake hairpin is enough evidence.

It seems that everyone's speculation is correct.

……

……

One year later.

Coincidentally, it is another year's fireworks display.

The wedding of Komaji and Lianxue was held as scheduled.

During the daytime in summer, the sun is very bright, and the sound of cicadas can be heard endlessly.

The blue sky, the sky is clear, and there is no cloud in sight.

In the open three sections.

Although it was daytime, the spacious room was still lit with lights.

As friends, everyone did not enter the third stage.

Instead, he sat outside the door and observed in the courtyard, leaving enough space for the two newcomers.

As relatives, Qing Zang, Hui Ren, Cang Ye, and Shen Hui sat in the third section.

now.

A little witch from a certain Kiriyama shrine is holding a Kagura bell and performing a solemn ceremony for the two of them:
"The great view is above, and the obedience is obedient, and Zhongzheng observes the world. Observation, washing is not recommended, there is a sense of prosperity, and it is also transformed when observing below..."

The priestess held the Kagura bell, shook it slightly, and tapped lightly in front of the two:
"[-] degrees, three gifts."

Weddings in the Edo period were not as Westernized as in later generations.

But Lianxue, the woman, also wore the "Bai Wugou" costume that represented purity.

There is a big white "cotton hat" like white gauze wrapped around the top of the head.

Komaji, who was sitting opposite Lianxue, was wearing a black and gray men's kimono, with a white pompom hanging on his chest.

Dressed in white Lianxue, she raised her head and stared at Komaji who was sitting opposite her in a daze. Her face was a little nervous, and she couldn't help but grab her clothes with her hands.

Pursing his lips, he murmured slightly:

"...like a dream..."

Komaji's ears moved slightly, he poked his head out and looked at Lianxue, wondering:

"Huh? What's wrong?"

There was some worry in her eyes, after all, Lianxue's body had not been "healed" until now.

Lianxue smiled and shook her head slightly, she looked at Komaji with a happy expression on her face:

"No, I just feel so happy."

"Marry...with Komajiden...it's really possible..."

"It's like a dream."

Komaji stared at the smiling Lianxue in a daze, he forgot how to react for a while.

At this time,

pat.

The little witch stretched out her hand and placed several small plates full of wine in front of the two of them.

"Please."

——[-] degrees.

Similar to a neon cup of wine.

Komaji was stunned for a moment, he and Lianxue looked at each other, and then quickly recovered:

"Okay, okay."

Pata, at the same time as Lianxue, picked up the plate in front of him.

……

……

Everyone sat outside the third section.

They poked their heads inward curiously.

But after a long time, no sound was heard.

until--

"oath!"

"Swear in front of the solemn shrine!"

"This time, Komaji and Lianxue are married here."

"Please be happy that there is a great god to testify for you. For the rest of your life, you must be harmonious and harmonious, and you will not run counter to the way of husband and wife. Share the family affairs and swear to work hard for the prosperity of the family."

"The 15th year of Qingchang, August 8th."

"Husband, Komaji."

"Wife, Lianxue."

……

……

"win——"

The chirping of cicadas in summer is still going on.

Mixed with the cheers of the crowd.

On a tall tree nearby.

The two figures sat here, looked down at the cheering crowd, and looked at each other.

The two smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

"Is the journey about to start the next stop?"

"No, let's rest for a while."

……

At this time.

Under the tree, someone shouted towards here:

"Mr. Kamizumi! Lord Amroji! Come down!"

"Komaji and the others have finished it, it's time for us to celebrate together!"

Shang Quannai, who was sitting on the tree, heard the words and nodded towards the person who shouted:
"Ah."

Then, he turned his head and glanced at the cherry cakes in Ganlu Temple.

The two jumped down.

……

……

I don't know how long has passed.

One summer after another slips away.

The time came gradually—one night after countless summer days.

in a dim room.

The candle flame danced slightly, casting a figure on the wall.

rustle--

There was a bamboo hat on the table, and two crows were lying in the bamboo hat, sleeping peacefully.

Shang Quannai was sitting in front of the table, he was hammering his head, writing something in the "notebook" of his watch list.

Memories are always deep.

"Komaji, Lianxue, married life is very happy."

"I vaguely remember the smiles of the two."

"Well, the two children are also very cute. They have inherited Komaji's pink eyelashes and Lianxue's flower-like pupils very well."

"Like a fairy girl."

"Oh, Purgatory and Juro often went to fight with Komaji later, but most of them ended up fighting with each other with bare hands."

"Komaji's martial power has been improving, until the peak of his prime, he was even able to draw with purgatory and Juro with real swords empty-handed, faintly suppressing."

"Great guy."

"There are also those children from the Ghost Killing Squad who later became Zhu, very stylish."

"That guy Shancun finally found his other half in the middle of his middle age, which is considered... good."

"The other pillars, except for the rock pillars, basically got married and had children."

"As for Yan Zhu, in order to study, he chose to travel west alone, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"There are also those from Ubuyashiki... With Fushi's departure, his son's ability is not bad."

"Tomioka dead warriors, when some Tomioka people survived, as an affiliated family of the Ghost Killing Squad, they have joined the Ghost Killing Squad for generations."

rustle--

The night was getting darker, but the special pen in Shang Quannai's hand didn't have any intention of stopping. He kept writing in the notebook.

The rustling recording sound continued until the second half of the night.

Shang Quannai is not re-recording these memories.

He's just rearranging, grooming.

When he wrote down these things, he never sorted them or sorted out the contents carefully.

This time, he did the work very seriously.

rustle--

Recording still continues.

"The forging knife village has developed industries on a large scale. Recently, it seems that even the sun wheel knives that can be used as guns have been forged."

"Amazing group of people."

"Ji Guoyan won, until he died of old age, it seems that he failed to defeat Yuan Yi in any way."

"Um...not right."

"Jiguoyan is better than Yuanyi in terms of life span."

"When I left, I had a crying and laughing expression on my face."

"Ji Guoyuanyi died at the age of 85."

"Jiguo Yansheng died of heart disease at the age of 93."

"It's obvious that I'm not reconciled."

……

Until—crash——

Shang Quannai turned a new page.

On it, write something completely new:

"About...Edo 1725..."

"I met a believer who claimed to be a believer in the Bliss Sect on the street."

"I saw the human child mill."

"Ignored it, secretly modified the church's teachings, and then left."

"The second of the original winding, Tong Mo, died at about...55 years old."

wow-

He turned another page.

"The end of the Edo period..."

"Near the residence of Hara Naruto, I passed the renamed Yoshihara Flower Street."

"Coincidentally, I met Jinggokuya... Hiss, is that the name?"

Shang Quannai's pen paused for a while, and then he rubbed some points.

rustle--

"Meet the brothers and sisters who were originally Shangxian Zhilu, Xiaomei and her elder brother Taro the prostitute."

"Under persuasion, I was incorporated into the Ghost Killing Squad."

"Although the siblings are not very motivated, they are still willing to perform tasks."

"The same period."

"The doctor who has been with Yushiro for more than a hundred years, Zhu Shi."

"After Zhu Shi noticed that the number of ghosts was getting smaller and smaller."

"One morning, she stood under the sun in the eyes of everyone."

"It turned into a piece, like the ashes of a butterfly, and spread out, maybe it was the reflection of the sun. The group of butterflies looked golden."

"Sorry, but not sorry."

rustle--

"Now."

"The...three hundredth year since then."

"The year is Taisho, one year."

Shang Quannai drooped his eyelids, and he wrote a few words heavily:
"I found out, the reincarnation of some people."

After writing this sentence, Shang Quannai casually put the pen on the table.

pat.

Putting away the notebook in front of him, he held out his bamboo hat and woke up the two sleeping crows.

After putting on the bamboo hat, Shang Quannai glanced sideways at a sleeping figure with long pink hair in a room not far away.

With gentle eyes, he picked up a small can of brewed wine and left the room writhing his hands and feet.

Walk in the moonlight.
