Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 373 Return, Prove, and Threat

Passing through the passage between the two worlds torn open by Tianzi Orange, the other side is the human world.

It seemed that it had rained at night, breathing the moist air with a smell of earth, Sogu turned his head, and the crack behind him had disappeared.

"Songya..."

Hongzi looked around, "This is the intersection near Kirino's house, we are really back!"

Sogu took a breath and hugged her tightly.

"came back……"

I thought it might be difficult to come back here in this life, but suddenly, the bad luck came to an end, and the heart that has been hanging can finally be let go.

Hongzi was a little out of breath from being hugged by him, but she didn't want to let go, so she hugged his waist tightly.

When she let it go again, she also noticed that the back passage had closed, "Teacher Orange..."

"Don't worry, the teacher can open the passage at any time and leave Huangquan."

"Um……"

Looking at the street lights not far away, Zong Gu took her hand, "Go to Tongye's old house first, and then I will send Hongzi home."

"it is good."

Hearing "go home", Hongzi's mind drifted away.

The two disappeared for ten days without hearing from each other, and each other's family and friends must have been extremely anxious.

"I don't know how my parents and sister are doing these days..."

She suddenly wanted to go home now.

Sogu saw her thoughts, "It's fine if I send Hongzi home first."

"No... Qian's home is closer, and I want to see her right away."

"Ah."

Walking in the familiar alley, even seeing the weeds on the ground, both of them felt very nostalgic.

Caressing the rough wooden fence, Soya confirmed again: he really came back.

buzz-

Hongzi turned on the phone, reconnected to the network, and countless messages and missed calls popped up.

She rolled down, her eyes soon became moist.

"My sister just returned to Tokyo, so she asked for leave and came back..."

"Since such a big incident happened, Sister Qingzi will definitely not be able to stay in Tokyo with peace of mind. I will send Hongzi back to see her later."

His own cell phone was running out of battery, so he had to go back and charge it to turn it on.

The two quickly returned to Tongye's old house, and it was already dark, so Soya still went to the living room to take a look.

"..."

Kirino Akane was indeed here.

She was lying on the table with her mobile phone next to her head, and she was already asleep.

Zonggu stepped lightly and walked to her side, but he didn't know how to speak to wake her up.

He knelt down and saw her haggard face, still frowning tightly in her sleep, his heart suddenly filled with infinite love.

He held her hand, "Cy."

"..."

Akane Kirino shook her body, then opened her eyes.

Looking at Soya in front of her, it was like a dream, she opened her mouth blankly, and it took nearly half a minute before she suddenly woke up.

"Songya!"

Kirino Akane rushed forward and threw him to the ground, while looking at him, her hands were carelessly stroking his face and body.

"Soya...it's really Soya...where have you been all these days!"

"Feel sorry."

Falling on the floor, Soya supported her waist, just as she raised her hand, she fell down and cried loudly on his chest.

"..."

Putting his hands on her back, Soya gently hugged her.

"I'm not leaving again."

"Woooo-"

Venting all the worries, longings and a little bit of complaint in the past ten days in tears, she sat up again and sniffled.

"Where's Hongzi? She must be with Soya too, right?"

"Cy."

"..."

She raised her head, and Hongzi was standing at the door with tears in her eyes and a complicated expression.

"Sorry... I'm back."

Getting up from Soya, Akane Kirino rushed over again, hugging Hongzi.

"Hongzi!"

The two huddled together, and Soya also got up, ready to go upstairs.

"Ling hasn't come back yet." Kirino Akane said.

"..."

Soya turned his head, "What?"

She hugged Hongzi and looked at him, "Since the day Zongya and Hongzi disappeared, Ling has never returned."

He stood blankly for a while, then said "I see", and went upstairs anyway.

Going back to his room to charge his phone, Soya just turned around when Tsukuyomi was already standing outside the door.

"I was taken back to Huangquan." He said straight to the point.

"I'm even more surprised that you can come out." Yuedu joked, but his tone didn't sound like a joke at all.

"The teacher is going to save me."

"I think so too."

Yuedu was silent for a while, and then said: "You seem to have gained a lot this time."

Zong Gu was startled, and soon realized that he was talking about the seven divine powers in his body.

"Now, Master Yueyue, do you understand why you can't sense their traces?"

"Hiding in the underworld."

"It's a pity that Da Lei escaped in the end." He regretted.

Yue Du took a deep breath and stared straight, "The world is so vast, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to find him."

Zongya deeply felt the same, but now was not the time to be emotional, so he asked him: "Has anything happened these days?"

"The whole world is looking for Ni and Xiaohong. Especially those from the Kirino family, the Yoshikawa family, and Kyoko, they are looking crazy."

Even though he had a premonition about this, Soya remained silent for a long time.

"Now that I'm back, I will explain to them one by one."

Yuedu didn't say anything more, and Zongya also wanted to send Hongzi back, and there were still some things that he planned to talk to him tomorrow.

Back downstairs, the two girls were not too hot, and they were still hugging each other, while Akane Kirino was shocked, apparently she had heard what happened to them in Huangquan from Hongzi.

"Hongzi also ate Huang Quan's food, so what should I do..."

"It's not a big problem, just lend her your amulet to wear."

She turned her head, "What about Zonggu?"

Zong Gu showed her the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu.

Holding the Gouyu to study for a while, she still wanted to hold Hongzi to continue the chat, Zonggu reminded: "Hongzi's family is still waiting for her."

"Almost forgot..."

Going back to the room to get the mahogany amulet and putting it on Hongzi, Akane Kirino picked up the phone again, "I want to tell Mom and Dad that Soya is back."

"Yeah. I'll send Hongzi back first."

"Okay." She nodded and said, "I'll come along too."

"I'm a bit hungry." Sogu rubbed his stomach, "I want to take a bath, Hongzi and I haven't bathed for ten days."

"I'm going to prepare!"

Akane Kirino immediately ran to the kitchen, came out soon, and ran to the bathroom.

"Put the hot water first..."

Sogu pulled Hongzi closer, "Let's go."

She struggled subconsciously, but before she could break free, she took the initiative to hold his hand tightly, "Yes."

Leaving Tongye's old house and walking on the road, Hongzi asked, "Is Ling missing?"

Soya also wanted to know where Asukirin had gone.

"It should be something else. If Ling goes missing, the teacher will definitely know."

"Um……"

She nodded and looked at him for a while longer.

"what happened?"

"After sending me home, will Soya still go to Sugawara-senpai later?"

"..."

Soya hesitated for a moment.

He wanted to see Kyoko immediately, but it was too late.

"Go there tomorrow."

"Oh."

"Hongzi is with me."

"..."

She pursed her lips and looked aside, not saying yes or no.

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, the stars and the moon could not be seen, and the two held hands tightly in a place where the street lights could not shine.

Touching the mahogany amulet hanging around her neck, Hongzi felt a little emotional, "Unexpectedly, Qian's amulet finally came into my hands."

"Don't lose it." Soya said, "Even if I am, I can't find you another amulet with the same effect."

"It was given to me by Akane, of course I will keep it safe... But, is it true that Zongya's Gouyu won't malfunction anymore?"

He wasn't sure.

"will not."

"That's good."

After walking for a while, the two came to Yoshikawa's house. It was already eleven o'clock in the night, and the lights inside were still on.

Hongzi pursed her lips tightly, unable to think about anything else.

Sogu took her hand, "Go."

She nodded.

"Hongzi!"

Back home, the Yoshikawa couple and Aoko, who had rushed back from Tokyo, were ecstatic after being shocked. The whole family huddled together and cried bitterly.

After the surprise of lost and found, it is natural to ask questions.

"Where did Hongzi go these days?" Mrs. Yoshikawa looked at her little daughter, feeling that she had lost a lot of weight from top to bottom.

Being hugged by her sister who was still crying, Hongko turned her head to look at the door, where Soya squatted there, stroking Alps' head.

On the way back, he told her it was up to him to explain the matter.

"Mr. Soya."

"Mrs. Yoshikawa."

He got up and stood in front of the Yoshikawa family, "I believe that you should already know that the tragedy at Hiei Pass was caused by supernatural power."

He had already read the news on Hongzi's mobile phone. The final result of the murder that happened that night was much more tragic than what he saw when he was taken away by the daughter of the underworld.

A large number of civilians were killed or injured at the ceremony, and the organization had to send a spokesperson to explain the matter to the public.

Of course, explanations belong to explanations, and a considerable number of people do not accept such a statement, thinking that such supernatural explanations are just a cover-up of the truth.

All kinds of conspiracies are rampant, and Mrs. Yoshikawa belongs to the skeptical school.

"Soya-kun works for an institution, so it's hard for me to fully believe your statement."

"However, this is the truth, and this is the reason why Hongzi and I disappeared for ten days." Sogu said, "When the evil spirits were raging, Hongzi and I were ambushed by the daughter of the underworld, accidentally fell into the underworld, and have been wandering inside Only today did I find the opportunity to come out.”

"..."

The members of Yoshikawa's family looked at each other, and seeing the complex expressions on the faces of their parents and sister, Hongzi quickly said, "What Soya said is true!"

Mrs. Yoshikawa glanced at her daughter, and said: "Mr. Soya said he can see ghosts, but whether he can really see them, and whether ghosts really exist, I can't judge. Hongzi can't see either..."

"—I can see it."

"..."

She frowned.

Even saying that she can see ghosts, Hongko is either obsessed with ghosts, or she has discussed something with Soya-kun to cover up the unexplainable disappearance of Toka... Mrs. Yoshikawa thought to herself.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang suddenly, and Mrs. Yoshikawa went to open the door, but there was a glamorous woman standing outside.

It looks familiar...

"What you want, I'll catch it for you." She looked at Zonggu inside, and suddenly said a man's voice.

Mrs. Yoshikawa suddenly remembered that this was the "special person" who borrowed from Kirino's house.

"sorry to bother you."

Zongya came over, stretched out his hand to grab, Yuedu didn't stop, turned around and left.

"..."

Seeing the two handing over "air", Mrs. Yoshikawa was a little confused.

"Now, I'm holding a ghost, or spirit body." Soya announced to the Yoshikawa family.

"..."

Is this the way to do it? Mrs. Yoshikawa understood.

She was waiting for Zongya to describe the appearance of the ghost to her vividly, and then her daughter said yes, yes, and then she saw him take out a bronze mirror from his pocket.

He handed over the bronze mirror.

Mrs. Yoshikawa took it suspiciously, and in the next second, her body shook violently, and she took several steps back. If it wasn't for her husband's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

"Feel sorry."

Sogu pulled the ghost captured by Yueyue, "What you see now is the so-called 'ghost.'"

"..."

Mrs. Yoshikawa was shocked, looking at the young woman in his hand.

His expression was dazed, his body was disorganized, his feet were missing, and he was floating in mid-air, not as scary as the ghost she imagined, but she still felt creepy when she saw it suddenly.

Putting down the bronze mirror in her hand, she couldn't see again.

Pick it up again, and the ghost is still there.

"This bronze mirror is an ancient artifact that allows ordinary people to see ghosts." Soya said, "Mr. Yoshikawa and Sister Qingzi can also try it."

Except for Hongzi, the Yoshikawa family picked up the bronze mirror in turn, and then they all showed the same reaction.

"Wow! It's really a ghost!"

"Ghosts do exist!"

Soya was not in a hurry to return the bronze mirror, but pulled the young woman's spirit into Yoshikawa's house and closed the door.

"..."

Looking at the ghost floating on the ceiling, Mrs. Yoshikawa hesitated to speak, Soya said at this moment: "Now, do you believe what I say?"

She had to believe it.

"I doubt Soya-kun's ability, I'm sorry."

He shook his head, "No need to apologize, it's a very normal thing."

"Mr. Zonggu said just now that you and Hongzi fell into the underworld...is that the underworld?"

Soya nodded, "It's the one you know, the underworld where people go after death."

"How could this be..." Mrs. Yoshikawa gasped.

"Actually, I fell into the underworld two years ago, and wandered in it until the beginning of this year before I managed to escape."

"..."

The shock of the Yoshikawa family can no longer be expressed in words, only Hongzi kept nodding while listening to him.

Looking at her, Soya was silent for a while, and then looked at Mrs. Yoshikawa again when he spoke again.

"About Huang Quan, I think you should have heard a legend."

"what……"

"The creation god Izanaki went to Huangquan to chase after his dead wife Izanami, and wanted to take her away, but Izanami said that he had eaten the food of Huangquan and had become a citizen of Huangquan country, so he could not leave."

Mrs. Yoshikawa frowned, suddenly understood, and turned to look at her daughter.

After staying in the underworld for ten days, it is impossible for her to eat nothing.

"Hongzi..."

Hongzi silently nodded.

"Hongzi, like me, has become a citizen of the Underworld." Soya said to Mrs. Yoshikawa, who was looking over, "I will be endlessly hunted down by the daughter of the Underworld in this life until we are brought back to the Underworld." middle."

"But this is not a big problem. Qian's grandma left her a mahogany amulet, and now it is given to Hongzi, which can protect her from being discovered by the daughter of the underworld."

Mrs. Yoshikawa let go of her high-pitched heart, and then noticed that he seemed to have something to say.

"Mr. Soya, do you have any other questions?"

Sogu nodded, and opened his hands again: "What flows in Hongzi and me, besides the blood, is the power of the Yellow Spring. The blood can be continuously replenished by the human hematopoietic system, but once it leaves the Yellow Spring, it cannot be regenerated. Obtain the power of the underworld."

"And now, the power of the underworld in Hongzi and I can last for about half a year. After it is exhausted, we will die."

"..."

Dizzy, Mrs. Yoshikawa swayed a few times and was supported by Hongzi.

"Mr. Soya...is everything you said true?"

"It's true, time will tell."

"Then what should I do, do I have to go back to Huangquan again?"

"This is the only way to replenish the power of the underworld."

"But..." Mrs. Yoshikawa looked at her daughter, "Can I come out again after going in?"

Soya shook his head slowly, "It's almost impossible."

"That is to say..."

"After half a year, no matter what, you will lose Hongzi: watch her die, or watch her fall into the underworld, and you will never be able to escape."

"..."

Mrs. Yoshikawa opened her mouth and looked at her daughter.

Soya continued, "Only I can change this."

"Mr. Zongya..."

"Through a certain channel, I can go back and forth between the human world and the underworld with the help of someone. This time, I stayed in the underworld for ten days because of the sudden incident and I lost contact. In fact, half A few hours ago, Hongzi and I were still trapped in the underworld, and that person suddenly appeared and rescued us."

With mood ups and downs, and receiving a lot of intelligible but incomprehensible information at once, Mrs. Yoshikawa only felt that her mind was in chaos.

"Then what to do, if that person needs money..."

"—no money needed."

Creating panic when emotionally unstable, forcing the other party to trust him, and then using this trust to seek benefits, Zong Gu found that what he is doing now is no different from a scammer.

He took a deep breath.

"Give me Hong Zi, please."

Mrs. Yoshikawa looked at him.

"I like Hongzi, and Hongzi also likes me. If she becomes my woman, I will ask that person to save her at all costs." Soya said.

She was startled.

"Soya-kun... is this a marriage proposal?"

"Do not."

The daughter beside him said, "What Soya means is to make me one of his women."

"..."

"He still likes Qian, and he doesn't intend to give up on her." Hongzi paused, "That means he wants to date Qian with me."

Mrs. Yoshikawa turned cold and looked at Soya.

"Is that what Soya-kun means?"

He nodded, "Almost."

"Do you understand what you're talking about?"

"Hongzi's time is running out, I'm threatening you."
