Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 418 The Shadow of the Past
Tee, Tee, Tee.

There was a knock on the door, Sogu looked back, and the door rang three more times.

"Fangming—"

"come in."

Nana pushed open the door, first looked at Zhao Wuling who was sitting on the bed, and then looked at him: "Do you have time?"

"It depends on what's going on with you."

Soya put down the manga and turned around, "Let's talk."

Nana pursed her lips.

"I didn't come here to play with you." She walked into the room, "I want Fang Ming to tutor me in my studies."

"Really." Soya was a little surprised, but not too surprised.It's true that Nana isn't very good at studying and doesn't like studying, but she also doesn't want to leave here after high school.

It was probably stimulated by someone or something again.

"is it okay?"

"of course."

Soya nodded, looked at her empty hands, "Where are your notes?"

"In the room." Nana said, "come to my side."

"Hmm." Soya hesitated for a moment.

"I won't eat you again!"

His hesitation made her very annoyed, obviously he didn't care about the distance between each other so much before.

Although there were factors such as growing older and him becoming more mature, she always felt that it was because of that woman, the woman who made all the boys in the orphanage obsessed.

"Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. It doesn't matter if you come or not."

"Come on." Soya got up and got out of bed, "What subject does Nana want me to tutor?"

"all."

"You have to come one by one."

"Well, let's tutor math first."

"Mathematics... I didn't bring back my notes, but it's not a big problem. Let's go."

Nana and Qianhui's room is next door, and they looked at Wuling, but they didn't intend to go there together.

Walking out of the room, Soya was about to follow Nana in when someone behind him stopped him: "Fang Ming."

He turned around, and it was Yoko who lived on the other side.

"What are you doing?"

"Teach Nana."

"Tutoring what?"

"math."

Nana came out of the room again, glanced at her, and pulled him in.

Clap, the door closed.

Yoko frowned.

"Isn't it okay to let Yoko and the others give you counseling?" Seeing that Qianhui was also in the room, Soya didn't ask Nana to open the door.

"I do not want it."

Nana turned her back to him, and spread her notes on the table, "I always feel that Yoko and Hitomi looked down on me a little after they went to the county school."

"you think too much."

"Fang Ming doesn't know anything."

Soya looked up at the sky.

"Do you still need my counseling?"

"Need." Nana sat down and asked him to sit in the middle.

Zongya dragged the chair, and Qianhui sat down on the other side, "Has it started? I want to hear it too."

Picking up Nana's notes and flipping through a few pages, he asked, "Where do I need to start tutoring?"

"Just pretend I haven't been to school."

"Hmm... Do you know the Arabic numerals?"

"..."

Nana pinched him.

"Start from the beginning." She turned the note back to the first page, "Start here."

Although not very smart, Nana did not give up taking notes, even if she didn't understand, she would write them down first.

Seeing that he didn't speak, she asked, "Is there any problem?"

"No problem, I'm just trying to figure out how to get started."

Across Zongya, Qianhui looked at her with her head: "If you start directly, Nana will definitely not understand. Fangming is so gentle."

"Shut up." Nana pursed her lips without urging her.

"If Nana can't get into high school, I'm sure I can't either. After we move out of the orphanage, let's live together." Qian Hui said again.

"..."

Soya smiled.

"It's still early. If Nana and Qianhui are really determined to go to high school, I will definitely help you."

Nana looked at him: "Really?"

Soya also raised his eyes from the notebook, looking at his important companions who grew up together.

"In the final analysis, the one who really needs to work hard is Nana. As long as you can do your best, then I will definitely do my best to help you."

"Yeah." Nana nodded heavily, "I'm going to high school, and so is Qianhui. Fang Ming will continue to tutor us until the day of the high school entrance examination."

"I promise. Get started now."

Outside.

"--what are you doing?"

"..."

Yoko shrank her head and looked back again, "Hush!"

"Yoko is eavesdropping on something." Hitomi walked over, "Is anyone in there?"

Yoko pushed her back to her room, "It's Yoshiaki. He said he would tutor Nana in math, so I'm a little concerned."

"Counseling... Is Nana finally planning to get serious, but it's just starting now, isn't it too late?"

"It was she who said before that it's okay if she doesn't pass the high school entrance exam. The big deal is to move out, but now she suddenly starts working hard... I always feel a little suspicious."

"It's a bit suspicious."

Hitomi sat on the bed, "Did Yoko hear any strange noises just now?"

"what."

She raised up a finger and wrapped it with the other hand, flicking it up and down.

"..."

Yoko blushed immediately, "Baka!"

"Don't think too much."

Hitomi picked up the manga and read it again, "Fang Ming's heart has already flown to Teacher Tachibana and refused to come back. Even if Nana took off her clothes, Fang Ming would not give her a second look."

"No, I'll still watch it... Occasionally, Fang Ming will secretly look at me if I wear a little less clothes."

"That's just out of instinct—I see, it's just this kind of delusion that keeps Yoko from giving up."

"...you shut up."

Yoko was a little melancholy, sat back on her bed and was in a daze, and didn't go to eavesdrop again.

On a weekend afternoon, time flies by.

Letting Nana and Qianhui do the problems in the book, Soya stretched his waist, and saw that the sky outside was dim, so he stood up all of a sudden.

"I'll go away."

"Oh."

Seeing the door close, Nana pursed her lips, fully aware of his so-called "go away".

"I must have gone upstairs to find Teacher Tachibana," Qian Hui said.

"Do your question."

"Ah—I can't do it. Did Nana really understand?"

"understood."

Nana calculated on the manuscript paper, "Fang Ming is much more responsible than the teachers in the school, and she speaks so carefully, is Qian Hui listening?"

"Sorry……"

Nana put down her pen, "Didn't we agree to go to high school together and stay in the orphanage?"

"Feel sorry!"

"What don't you understand, let me teach you."

"Uh-huh."

Feeling that she still has no determination, Nana said again: "As long as Qianhui doesn't give up, Fangming will help us catch up with the progress we left behind."

"Is it alright for an idiot like me?"

"A fool like Qianhui is fine."

"I see." Qian Hui sat up straight and turned the note back to the first page, "I didn't understand here."

"Fool!"

The fourth floor, the innermost room.

"..."

Soya gritted his teeth, enduring the pain from the hands clamped on both arms.

Burying his head on his chest, Tianzi Ju grabbed him, his fingertips sank deep into the flesh, and his body trembled endlessly.

After a few minutes, she fell forward as if losing strength.

"Teacher." Sogu supported her.

"..."

Moved his lips, and after a while, Tangerine Tianzi could make a sound.

"Sorry, Fang Ming..."

She stood up straight and stroked the marks on his arm, "It's like this again."

"nothing."

"It's over..." Tianzi Ju raised his head and looked into his eyes, "Thank you."

Sogu couldn't keep looking at her, so he quickly looked away.

"I will come up to accompany the teacher tomorrow."

"Great."

Tianzi Ju laughed, but his brows were still frowning, "If Fang Ming hadn't been with me like this all the time, I probably couldn't bear it long ago."

"teacher……"

She raised her hand and touched his head with some effort, "After entering middle school, Fang Ming grew taller and became more reliable."

"I... teacher!"

Seeing a tinge of red suddenly flow out from the corner of her mouth, Sogu was startled.

Tianzi Ju wiped it with his hand, and when he saw the blood on his fingertips, he smiled helplessly, "I accidentally bit my lip."

"..."

Soya took a deep breath, frowning tightly.

"It's okay." She touched his face again, "Don't sigh all the time, I'm used to it."

"I can't get used to it. I would rather let myself bear the pain for the teacher."

Ju Tianzi fell silent, seemed quite touched, and looked at him for a while.

"really?"

Soya nodded heavily.

"Can I really trust Fang Ming?"

"I would do anything for my teacher."

Ju Tianzi closed his eyes and took a long breath.

"it's time……"

"what?"

"Fang Ming." She opened her eyes, "I have something very important to tell you."

Soya looked at her.

"Don't go to bed too early tonight, I will take Fangming to a place."

"Where?"

"You'll know then."

Tianzi Ju suddenly stepped forward and hugged his waist.

"Watching Fangming grow up slowly, the teacher has waited too long for this day. I have chosen so many people over the years, and each of them will only bring me disappointment... But I believe that Fangming will not be like them. "

"..."

His heart beat faster, his breathing unconsciously became rapid, feeling her soft and warm body, Sogu didn't listen to what she said at all.

Before he had time to feel it for a while, Emperor Ju let go of him again.

"Don't let me down, Fangming."

"I promise."

"Ha ha……"

She touched his face again, "I still need to make some preparations, Fang Ming will go down first."

"it is good."

Back downstairs, Soya returned to his room and sat in a daze for a while, then remembered that Nana and Qianhui were still waiting for him.

"Why did it take so long?"

"Feel sorry."

"Forget it." Nana pushed the notebook over, "I've done all these questions, let Fang Ming take a look."

"Ah."

The teacher said that he would take him to a place at night.

Where is it?

Or is the so-called "going to a place" actually a metaphor?
"Fangming?" Nana and Qianhui both looked at him.

"..."

Soya came back to his senses, forced himself to withdraw his thoughts, and carefully looked at Nana's answer.

"The answer is right."

He drew a circle, "But the calculation method just learned is completely useless, isn't it?"

Nana looked at the notebook: "I... I'm not very proficient yet. I feel that I can calculate it this way, so..."

"It must be learned." Soya said firmly, "This is the foundation of the foundation."

"I see……"

"If you are not proficient, keep practicing until you become proficient." Soya pushed the note back, "Don't worry, there is me."

Nana nodded, "Yes!"

"Use what you just learned and do it again."

"it is good."

Soya didn't finish his tutoring until it was dark.

"Let's go eat."

"Hmm...do you want to continue tomorrow?"

"Of course. The usual time is evening tutoring, and on weekends, it can be changed to daytime, no problem."

"Uh-huh!"

Call Asagiri, Yoko, and Hitomi to have dinner together. Until the end, Tachibana Emperor did not come to the cafeteria.

Back at the residence, Sogu went upstairs to take a look, but she was not in the room.

Did you go out?

He remembered her saying to make some preparations.

Back in the room, Yoko came over and asked him something about tutoring for Nana, and then chatted about some things, and the night gradually deepened.

Lying on the bed with the light turned off, Sogu guessed when the Tachibana Emperor would come to find him, when suddenly there was a sound in the darkness.

"..."

It's Zhao Wuling.

She climbed out of bed, then climbed into his bed, and lay down with him.

She should know he's not asleep yet.

Soya turned over to face her.

She kissed.

"..."

It's been a long time since they kissed.

It started with the ignorance and impulsiveness of adolescence, but now that he has someone he likes, he can't go on like this.

He tilted his head, "Ling..."

"..."

Asking for a kiss received no response, even being rejected, Chao Wuling returned to her bed in silence.

Looking at the darkness, Soya didn't know what to say to her.

And at this moment, a third person's voice sounded in the room.

"Fang Ming, are you still awake?"

"……teacher?"

Soya was startled, and sat up at the same time as Asagiri.

Suddenly, the light was turned on, and Tianzi Ju was watching them from the window.

"..."

Soya was even more surprised.

When did she come in?

"It's time." Tianzi Orange said, "Come with me, Fangming."

"Ah...well, I see."

He looked at Wuling, and was startled again.

It was the first time he saw such a shocked and flustered expression on her face.

"teacher!"

She went over to grab Tianzi's hand, and looked back at him.

"It's okay." Tianzi Ju patted the back of her hand lightly to signal her peace of mind, leaned over and whispered: "After the end, Fang Ming will stay by Ling's side forever."

"Why is it today..."

"Fangming is ready, and I can't wait."

Chao Wuling fell silent.

"Come with me, Fang Ming."

Tangerine Emperor walked out of the room.

Changing on his clothes in a hurry, Zong Gu was about to follow him out when Chao Wuling stopped him.

"Promise to the teacher. No matter what the teacher says, promise her."

"……I will."

Leaving the room, Ju Tianzi had already gone away.

The corridor was dim, Zong Gu followed quickly, and it suddenly became darker in front of him.

"..."

After being in a trance for a while, he came back to his senses and found that he suddenly came to a place where there was nothing but desolation.

"This is where?"

Soya stood there blankly, looking around.

"Fang Ming."

The sound came from mid-air.

He raised his head and found that the Orange Emperor was floating in the air.

"teacher?!"

She flew down, took his hand, and pulled him into the air.

"Wow!"

Suddenly leaving the ground, Zongya struggled in a panic, and soon realized that he would not fall, so he stopped.

"Teacher... what's going on?"

Tianzi Ju pulled him forward and flew forward, "Does Fangming know where this is?"

Zonggu looked down, the surroundings were desolate and dead, and a majestic hall loomed in the distance.

"do not know."

"This is Huangquan."

"..."

He was probably dreaming, Soya thought.

After flying for a while, there were countless dark blue human figures in strong and sharp clothes, standing in an array, motionless.

Flying through the sky, there is a wide square, and at the end is a wide and long staircase, above which is the great hall.

Flying all the way, Tianzi Ju brought him down in front of the main hall.

"..."

As soon as he landed, Soya staggered two steps.

If it was a dream, what I just experienced would be too real.

If it's not a dream...

His attention was again attracted by the majestic palace in front of him.

Looking up, he couldn't see the top, and the strong sense of oppression made him speechless, as if he was an ant that was suddenly blown to the front of tall buildings by the wind.

The Orange Emperor stood in front of the main hall gate, looking at him with a smile.

Sogu walked over and touched the palace gate made of unknown materials.

I don't know if I can push it away.

This thought flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously exerted some force on his hands.

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the palace door actually opened a gap, and only darkness could be seen inside.

"It can really be opened..."

"Why don't you go in and have a look?" Tianzi Orange said.

"Can you?" he asked.

"of course."

She smiled, pushed the door again, and walked in first.

Soya also followed into the door.

The hall was dark, and it was almost impossible to see anything. Just after taking a few steps, he stumbled and almost fell down.

"There seems to be something on the ground..."

"Corpse."

"..."

"Over the years, I don't remember Fang Ming being the first child I have chosen."

Tangerine Tianzi walked forward in the dark, "It's just that no one can really satisfy me. Of course, I believe Fang Ming is an exception."

She stopped, and Soya also stopped, and there was a high platform in front of her.

Tall columns stand on either side, with a vacant seat in the middle.

Ju Tianzi walked up to the high platform, looked back at him, "Come up, Fangming."

He goes up.

"Sit down on the throne."

God seat?

Zongya looked at her, went over and sat down, "Teacher..."

"Fangming." Tianzi Ju came over and held his hand, "Do you still remember what you promised the teacher?"

"What?" he asked subconsciously.

"Fang Ming said, you are willing to do anything for me. Do you still count?"

"Of course it counts." Soya said immediately.

It's just that since he came to this so-called underworld, he felt that everything seemed to be covered in a thick layer of fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Teacher, what is going on?"

"I am the master of the underworld, Izanami."

Tianzi Ju touched his face, "It is the god Fang Ming recognizes, you must have heard my name."

Soya opened his mouth.

Of course he had heard of it, it was the name of the mother god in the creation myth.

"I went to this world to find a successor." She smiled, "Now, I have chosen Fang Ming."

"Replace me as the new master of the underworld. Fangming will gain eternal life, and instantly gain the power to control the entire underworld and even all the undead in the world. And I, too, can be freed from this endless pain."

Zonggu frowned, and his heart became more and more confused.

"Teacher, I don't understand what this means..."

"Fang Ming doesn't need to understand."

Tianzi Ju looked at him closely, "Didn't you promise the teacher that you would do anything for me? Now you just have to accept it."

"Next, I will find those eight children, bring them here, and let Fangming kill them. I will get divine power, so that I can ascend to the gods..."

"—Teacher Tachibana!"

Zong Gu couldn't help interrupting her, "What the hell is the teacher talking about? What kind of supernatural power, I want to kill other children?"

"Don't worry, the meaning of their existence is to be killed by Fangming. Without their divine power, Fangming can't become a god. Promise me!"

"But……"

Tang Tianzi grabbed his neck, his face was cold and his smile was gone.

"Fang Ming just needs to answer and agree."

She spoke word by word, leaving no doubt in her tone.

Zong Gu stared blankly, she was no longer the Tangerine Emperor he was familiar with.

If this was a nightmare, he only wished he could wake up immediately.

The hand around his neck became tighter and tighter. He struggled and squeezed out the last words from his throat: "I... can't accept it..."

She let go.

puff.

A sword pierced his heart from front to back, nailing him to the throne.

Letting go of the hilt, Ju Tianzi turned and left without looking at him again.

Consciousness quickly dissipated, leaving only darkness in front of his eyes, Sogu hung his head, and endless regret stirred up in his heart.

"I want to...live."

And when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a desolate and dead place, and there was nothing left in his heart.

"This is where?"

Why am I here?
Three years later, when the spiritual body transformed by that obsession came to the Netherworld Hall again and merged with the body on the throne, Sogu understood everything.

"...Back to the Light Spirit."

Since the day he fell, he has never really left Huangquan.

"—that's right."

A pair of hands stretched out from behind the throne, hugging him tightly.

"I'm sorry, the teacher was too impulsive three years ago... I didn't expect Fang Ming to come back to me in this form. It's really great."

　Five thousand and eight, rounded to six thousand characters!I've never written such a big chapter in my life, so let's treat it as a little Jiageng (.
