let's be friends

"Hey hey?"

It turned into goods again, and gave it to Yuyuko for free for a day from Yakumo Zi's hands. Rin was confused and couldn't figure it out, and Zi's broken voice came from his ears.

"The incident on New Year's Eve has had a great impact on her. We feel that Youyouzi already has the will to die. You should take advantage of this opportunity to persuade her."

She used a special technique, and only Rin could hear what she said. Although Rin really wanted to say that he would never comfort others, after another thought, he still had to try. If it didn't work, it would be a way to make her happy. , so nodded.

Turning around to look at the joyful Youyouzi, she smiled slightly: "Then let's start now. To be honest, I'm still in a daze about love and I don't know how to fall in love, but I still have a lot of theoretical knowledge. Let's talk about it today with confidence." give me."

"Suddenly we don't feel so relieved."

Thinking about the bad deeds of the idiot Rin in his daily life, Zi had a headache and pressed his fan against his head. He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Stupid Rin, get out of here, and this is just a simulation. If If something really happens, you don’t even want to touch one of my mother’s toes in this life.”

"...as if I were a pervert."

Feeling that her noble sentiments and character were greatly insulted, Rin curled her lips, stared at Zi who was slowly returning to the room for a few seconds, and then continued to cheer up Yuyuko: "Then today's plan is to go out to play, Yuyu You can go wherever you want! Even if you want to go to Dasong! With my speed, the flight is guaranteed to be on time."

Youyuko clasped his hands together, smiling all over his face, his eyes turned into crescent moons: "That's great! I've never seen the outside world before, it's great to have Rin here."

It was only yesterday that Zi and Lan jointly suppressed Yuyuko's death power and temporarily sealed it. Naturally, there will be no problems today, and with Rin's company, Yuyuko can go out with confidence.

When her father was still alive, Youyouzi was taken out of the house, but she didn't have much memory when she was a child. Her father passed away when she was a few years old, so she could only stay in this courtyard.

So when she heard that Rin was going to take her out, Yuyuko was very excited, and kept nodding her little head: "Then I have to change my clothes, Rin, wait a minute."

Not long after, Yuyuko changed into a simple kimono with the same hair color as hers and covered with cherry blossom pattern, which made Rin seem to see the amazing undead lady in the future for a moment.

Hugging Youyouzi, they jumped out of the yard, and the two of them walked side by side on the cobblestone street. Small snowflakes fell and turned into water stains on the ground. Just after New Year's Eve, the outside was extremely lively, and passers-by on the road greeted each other with smiles. .

Even during the festival, there are still street vendors who get up early and work hard to buy snacks and gadgets for the New Year. Rin took Yuyuko around the town where she lives, and bought some boiled mochi for Yuyuko to fill her stomach .

She took two bites, stared at the white dumpling in her hand strangely for a long time, and asked curiously: "How is this rice cake made, I don't seem to have eaten it before."

"Forehead……"

Thinking about it, Yaoji didn’t pay much attention when she went out to buy ingredients. After all, this kind of food was also a traditional food that was eaten during the festivals for the ancient 11 districts. Rin explained a few words, and saw her face full of happiness I ate in small bites.

"It's so delicious... It would be great if there was a world after death."

Rin heard her whispering to herself, her whole body froze, her footsteps stayed where she was, Yuyuko smiled and waved her hands: "You're just kidding, let's go and see if there is anything else to eat! I must eat enough today! "

Now that he knew that Yuyuko had already intended to die, Rin naturally wouldn't pretend that nothing happened, and loosened his frowning brows: "Well, it doesn't matter if you can't finish eating, we can take it home at night, and it's okay to put it on the table. I can eat enough!"

"good idea!"

Yuyuko happily jumped forward a few steps, turned her hands behind her back to urge Rin, and when he approached, she suddenly reached out and took Rin's hand, pursing her lips: "I heard that in love, you have to hold hands. Right?"

"Uh, there shouldn't be such a saying now, in the future..."

"Tsk, Rin is just like what Zi said, she is an idiot."

I don't want to be called an idiot by the foodie in the future...

Looking at her shining eyes seemed to be shining, obviously with a positive and joyful color, but inexplicably made Rin feel that he was about to lose this friend, and the strong anxiety in his heart made him grab Yuyuko's hand with his backhand, When she looked over strangely, she said in a deep voice: "In the world after death, not only can't eat delicious food (by mistake), but also there is nothing interesting."

"Yes...is that so?"

Yuyuko lowered her head, looked at her feet, and smiled slightly: "Okay, that's really just a joke, by the way, are there any other interesting places, Rin, won't you take me to see them?"

"Well... let's go now."

Picking up Yuyuko, Rin leaped into the air, and moved forward at a fast speed, but deliberately lowered the height so that Yuyuko could easily overlook the scene on the ground below. With his full flight, even if he went around the entire 11th district, it would cost at most seven or eight hours of time.

Yuyuko occasionally asked him to stop to enjoy the beautiful scenery of different mountains and rivers, and Rin followed suit one by one. By the evening, the two of them were flying on the sea, facing the sunset all the way forward.

This is the East China Sea, the sea area between District 11 and Da Song. When you look down, you can see large and small islands gliding in front of you. Rin wanted Yuyuko to enjoy the sea view, so he took a long way around.

Yuyuko looked a little tired after playing all day, but she still managed to blink and look at the deep blue ocean and the islands coming and going with great interest.

Suddenly, Rin's body paused, and he stayed in mid-air, looking at the small island not far away, frowning.

"Rin, what's wrong?"

"It's a little... a little strange."

The atmosphere on the island is somewhat similar to that of Huo Qing'e, but it is completely different. It has a feeling of being integrated with nature, which makes people feel at ease and comfortable. center fly away.

The island is still quite big, and there is a freshwater lake in the center, and someone built a small wooden house not far from the lake.

Suddenly there was a human residence in the deserted area nearby, which made Rin even more curious, and the followers approached, only to find an old man in a thick coir raincoat by the lake. There are many fishes in the freshwater lake due to man-made destruction, so there is nothing wrong with fishing.

The old man sitting on the bank seemed to be late, leaning leisurely on the root of the tree behind him, with a fishing rod on the side, with a messy snow-white beard, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

It was this scene of blending into the natural picture that made Rin feel that the surrounding atmosphere was stronger.

The fishing rod moved slightly, and the old man lifted the fishing rod, put the caught fish into the bamboo basket beside him, and stretched out his hand to fiddle with the hook.

The sharp-eyed Rin realized that the fishhook turned out to be a straight hook. He stood there for a while, then suddenly realized.

"So it's Taigongwang..."

Since Rin recognized the other party, he was naturally embarrassed to disturb him, and wanted to leave with Youyouzi, but he heard Taigong Wangyang's voice: "Since you are here, you are destined, since you are destined, why bother to leave?"

He looked sideways slightly: "The old man sees that the little friend's brows are faintly gloomy, while the little girl beside him is full of lifelessness, Yintang is dark and has a desire to die. I think this is why the little friend is troubled."

Rin looked at Youyuzi with a wry smile: "As expected...you..."

"Nothing!"

Youyouzi explained in a panic, sighed, and bowed to Taigongwang: "Indeed, I am troubled by this matter."

Taigongwang nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and waved to Rin and Youyouzi. Rin led Youyouzi, who was unwilling and flustered, to his side, and sat down after his gesture.

"Can I tell you something?"

Rin hesitated for a while, and thought that the person in front of him was the famous Jiang Ziya, who had extraordinary abilities and extensive knowledge. He might have a way to solve Yuyuko's problem, so he hurriedly told Yuyuko's current problem in detail.

The old man thought for a while, and the fishing rod on the side suddenly trembled, and he suddenly laughed aloud: "The fish is hooked, can you help me with this?"

Rin was a little baffled, but out of respect, he took the hook for it, took out a grouper fish, and threw it into the bamboo basket beside it.

Jiang Ziya narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and waved his sleeves, a cloud of white mist enveloped the two of them, Youyouzi was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward, but was gently pushed back a few steps by the white mist.

"Little girl, don't be impatient, the old man has a few words to say to the little friend alone."

A kind voice came from over there, which relieved Youyuko's tension a little, stepped back a few steps, and simply squatted down to count the fish in the basket.

"What advice does the senior have?"

"My little friend helped me with this favor. Naturally, I want to reciprocate, but the cycle of life and death is the number of days. How many people can resist the number of days? You can't, monsters, sages, and old men can't do it. Those who are able can do it... so death is fate, and you don't need to be too depressed, this gift, I will give it to you."

Lin learned that Yuyuko's fate could not be changed, and he was in a state of trance, subconsciously took the green stone bead in Taigongwang's hand, lowered his head and smiled wryly: "I also thought that it would be better for Yuyuko to become an undead after death, and I would also Satisfied her wish of not wanting to hurt anyone, but if the people around her leave like this, they will lose their memory, and they always feel that they will never find the person they used to be, so..."

"It's human nature." Jiang Ziya responded lightly, "The old man gave you the chanting soul beads. People have a soul to carry memories. After death, the soul will gradually dissipate and will not be taken to the underworld. Ordinary items cannot carry it. This soul, so..."

Rin understood in an instant, and she clenched the rosary beads and was overjoyed: "Thank you senior, I can't repay you, if..."

"No, the old man and the little friend are predestined, and we may meet again in the future. This is nothing, but...my little friend, your fate, if you want to break it, all lies in this world."

He talked a little bit in a daze, if he didn't know him for sure, he would be regarded as a magic stick, but he revealed from the side that Rin didn't come from this world, which made him admirable. Looking at Youyouzi who was squatting beside the bamboo basket and curiously poking the fish with his fingers, he smiled slightly: "Since I like it, I will give this basket of fish to you, little girl, and the old man should leave."

Rin quickly pulled Youyouzi up, and bowed to Taigongwang again: "Senior, walk slowly, there will be fate in the future..."

However, before he finished speaking, Jiang Ziya's figure had disappeared, and even the fishing rod was taken away, leaving only a basket of fish on the ground. Rin scratched his head and looked at the inexplicable Youyouzi: "Well... maybe All gods would prefer this tune, it’s as if you have to hang up before the other party on the phone so as not to drop the price..."

However, Yuyuko couldn't understand his metaphor at all, and picked up the bamboo basket with great interest: "Then what did the old man say to Rin before?"

"……nothing."

It’s impossible to tell Yuyuko directly and wait for you to go to the underworld. After thinking about it, Rin decided to go back and discuss with Zi. It happened that Yuyuko was also tired from shopping and had to prepare a banquet at night, so she picked up Yuyuko and went to the underworld. Ping Chengjing flew away.

I bought a lot of things at the market, almost all of which were meat that Yuyuko seldom ate. Rin carried the big tall bag, holding Yuyuko in one hand, and returned to the backyard of Xixing Temple.

At this time Yaoji had also returned, and seeing Yuyuko returning safely, he breathed a sigh of relief and helped Rin unload the ingredients.

Rin moved his body, turned his head and saw Lan who was digging a hole beside the demon cherry tree, and Yakumo Zi who was sitting on a swing beside him lazily drinking tea, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Lan...what's wrong? "

Yakumo Zi waved her hand: "This shikigami of ours doesn't have a long memory, and we just happened to find out that we were going to be a moth, so we asked her to dig a hole and bury herself."

"Okay, Lan, come on!"

Without any mercy, Rin moved closer to Yakumo Zi's ear, and told about the encounter with Tai Gongwang.

Zi hurriedly jumped off the swing, her face full of surprise: "This is a good thing, it just happened that we were still thinking about Yuyuko..."

Yuyuko happened to be cooking with Yaoji and Yakumolan who had dug a hole at this time, and Zi pulled Rin into the room and told her plan.

Her plan is to gather all her friends, and at the same time, negotiate with the onmyoji to find the most famous Abe Seimei, and jointly seal Yuyuko's death power, so that Yuyuko can at least live in peace for a few years, and then Every once in a while someone has to be found to continue the seal until Yuyuko passes away peacefully after this life.

The idea is very good, but it is quite difficult to operate. At least you can try it. As a human body, it is not necessarily a bad thing to leave peacefully and without pain. With the rosary beads, you can wait for Youyuzi to be reborn as an undead. Still the same as Yuyuko before.

"Anyway, you can try it!"

Rin and Zi discussed it carefully, and seeing that it was already 12 o'clock, they finally finalized this imperfect plan.

All the ingredients for this meeting have also been prepared, and a large table was set up next to the cherry blossom tree. Five people and demons sat together. Let's seal her together.

"...In this way, you really don't have to hurt others?"

It sounds like a good idea, but the helpers you find must be very strong and unambiguous, and the sealing is very difficult, even if you don't know Yuyuko very well, you still have some doubts about the probability, but under Zi Duofang's authority, she sees He seemed to be in a better mood, but he didn't let go of his suicidal thoughts.

But... if there is a first success, maybe Yuyuko can get rid of her death ambition, which is the only hope of Rin and Zi.

The table was full of meat and vegetables, and Yuyuko let go to eat, filling his stomach so full that he didn't forget to drink with Rin and the others. He didn't know how much he drank this night, even the Xixingji family buried it for many years. A rather high amount of wine was also taken out and drank heavily.

Rin and Zi drank a lot, and they were a little drunk. In order to prevent Yuyuko's death power from erupting, they specially controlled their drinking, and did not allow themselves to drink too much.

On the contrary, Yuyuko poured cup after cup into her stomach, and the people watching were worried, Rin and the others hurriedly surrounded Yuyuko to stop her from drinking, but saw that she was already drunk, threw the wine jar on the ground, and smiled foolishly Standing up, I staggered back uncontrollably: "Today...is my happiest day, whether it's Yaoji, Blue, Purple or Rin, it's great to have you by my side..."

Then with a "boom", they stepped on the ground and fell into the pit dug by Lan before. Everyone didn't care at first, they waited for Yuyuko to get up, and after waiting for a few minutes, they realized that something was wrong. Yaoji quickly stood up unsteadily , hurriedly ran to the pit, and saw his eldest lady lying in the pit with her eyes closed and a happy smile on her face.

Thinking that she was just drunk and fell asleep, Yaoji stretched out her hand and was about to fish out Youyuzi, only to find that... Youyuzi had no heartbeat or breathing.

"Miss?!"

The exclamation of grief made Rin and Zi wake up suddenly, and rushed over, looking at Youyouzi who was lying in the pit, he no longer had any breath of life on his body.

Zi was pale, and Rin knelt down on the ground, unable to accept the shock of Yuyuko, who had been laughing and drinking and chatting together before, died suddenly in a blink of an eye. Yuyuko's life was brought up.

However, it was already too late, and Yaoji sighed sadly and weirdly: "It's useless, Miss...died from alcohol poisoning. I was already tired today and I ate so much meat, and my liver was already overloaded." , drank so much wine, and finally fell down in the pit and was hit, and then died..."

The four looked at each other, and Rin coughed dryly: "Although it was sad and unexpected, at least Yuyuko left happily, right? Well, how long will it take for her to come back to life?"

Yakumo Zi scratched her face with her folding fan: "About a few months, a few years, a few decades, maybe two or three hundred years."

"I... it's not my fault that I dug a hole, right?" Lan was very guilty, her brain was bored, she picked up the shovel and was about to bury the hole, but Rin quickly stopped her.

Yaoji also knew that it was useless to grieve at this time, after all, Youyouzi would come back after sleeping for a while, so she could only sigh and said: "Then, let me stay here and wait for the eldest lady to be reborn."
