Tokyo gods only want priestly girls

"Aren't you a human? Are you a monster?"

The old man dodged, but his heart was full of doubts. In his opinion, the other party was obviously just a human being?

"It's a human being! Of course it is! A genuine human being who can't die at all!"

The girl bathed in fire was swaying wantonly, and the rising flames were rising like the wings of a bird of fire, burning, and the entire sealed room was burning.

"There is no peace in the three realms, just like a house on fire, filled with suffering, it's really terrifying."

The old monk recited a sutra in a low voice and walked through the door.

"Don't run away! You guy!"

The explosive flames blasted open the door, and the girl chased after him.

At this time, Jingu, who was taking a nap in the courtyard, felt that his nose was a little itchy.

"Ah sneeze!"

"what?"

Jingu opened his eyes and saw a cherry blossom.

Chapter 71 Wandering in the Underworld

"Are you awake? Did you think you would never wake up again?"

A girl in a cherry-purple kimono was squatting in front of the shrine. As soon as the shrine opened its eyes, it was surrounded by cherry blossoms.

Ok?

Although it is really cool to see a huge treasure chest when you open your eyes, why does it look like this when he just takes a nap?

The dark sky was shrouded, and if it weren't for the lack of starlight, Jingu would have thought that he slept until late at night, and the place he was lying on was no longer a wooden bench in the courtyard.

Still in the courtyard, but it doesn’t seem to be the same courtyard as before, and

The towering cherry blossom tree in front of me was in full bloom at this time. The cherry blossoms pressed over the branches, blooming into pink, purple and white flowers, with countless white light spots floating among them.

There seem to be a lot of questions, but it doesn't matter, let's just look at the beautiful girl in front of us.

"you are?"

The shrine looked up and down at the person in front of him. He had short pink hair that reached to his shoulders. His blue-purple kimono was painted with a large number of cherry spring flowers, with a large number of pure white lotus laces, tied with ribbons, and holding a hand in his hand. Small fan with handle.

He has a big heart and can hardly hide his power.

"Do you care more about who I am than where I am now?"

The girl smiled gently and unfolded a small fan to cover half of her face. The fan was painted with gorgeous patterns, various flowers, and carriages and horses.

"Things like that don't matter at all. Ignoring the beautiful girl in front of you will make you cry."

Ever since he broke the precept, Shengong felt that his lower limit had dropped another level. No, it should be said that he had grown even more.

In the past, when I saw a beautiful girl, I just thought she was pretty, and it was hard to imagine the specific things. But now, Jingu can guess the taste through these external appearances.

Those who have tasted it and those who have only seen the packaging are completely different. In short, they are even more greedy.

The girl who meant to refuse politely was amused by Jingu's slightly shameless approach, and stretched out her hand to pull something from the back of her head to her forehead.

"My little girl is just an ordinary undead, why should you care?"

The girl wears a triangular talisman on her forehead. In Yingzhou, this talisman is called "Heavenly Crown" and is one of the symbols of ghosts.

"Then first tell me where this is? And why I appear here."

After being declined repeatedly, Shengong stopped pressing and changed the topic. As long as the conversation could continue, there would definitely be a breakthrough.

"This is the permanent world. As for why you appear here, I have no idea at all." The girl looked at the shrine with a smile.

Eternal life?Is it the one who mentioned to him before, the place where gods usually exist, and the one that corresponds to the current world?

As if she had seen through the mind of the shrine, the girl smiled and explained: "There is only one in this world, but there are many in the eternal world. All residences far away from the present world are considered to be in the category of the eternal world. If I use more appropriate words here, , probably the underworld.”

The underworld...then why did he suddenly come to the underworld?How strange.

"So who are you? If you don't recruit me from the ground, I will take you back and interrogate you as a ghost that hinders the work!"

Jingu touched it and found that the rope he cut off at the beginning was still there. If the girl didn't tell her why, he would use

The rope tied the other party back, and upon hearing Jingu's words, the girl's smile became even brighter.

"The eternal world is endless. If you just use your feet to walk, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even get out of this underworld. If you don't even ask me to help you later, how can you take me back for interrogation?"

Jingu became excited when he heard this. He looks down on people, right?Isn't it just a matter of the overlapping of the inner and outer worlds? How can we conclude that he can only walk with his feet if he doesn't understand the trick?

The girl over there is still planning for the shrine how to return to the living world, walk out of the boundless underworld, break through the eight cold and eight heat hells, escape from the hands of Yama, and then cross the Santu River

Among them, he went around the shrine without listening. He lowered his head and looked around, then picked up a small stone with his toes, and then volleyed in the air.

The strong wind blew up the skirt of the girl's kimono, and the layers of lotus hems looked like flowers. However, the girl had no time to care about the possibility of being exposed, and looked up in shock at the falling stars.

Like rising fireworks, it went straight into the dark sky of the underworld, and then exploded and bloomed in the sky. There were no dazzling and gorgeous sparks, only turbulence caused by pure power.

The sky was shattered, revealing the other side of the mirror.

"How about it?"

Jingu waved his hand to wake up the sluggish girl, holding another stone in his hand.

"So, do you want to confess or not? Otherwise, I will take you back and torture you."

Seeing the stone in the hands of the shrine and the threatening look on her face, the girl immediately closed her small fan and fell to the ground with frivolous steps, showing a look on the verge of tears.

"Sir, I really don't know anything. I'm just waiting here for my father to come back. I really don't know why the adult suddenly appeared here."

He is very knowledgeable about current affairs, but he just pretends to be a bit fake. How can anyone fall down and lie down with his legs folded like this?

"Your father? Who is your father?"

Jingu asked in surprise, does the ghost still have a father?

The girl pretended to cry and showed a fragile look while saying: "My father was sent to this world by someone a few days ago. I don't know when he will come back, so I am waiting here."

"After all that, you still haven't said who your father is, and who you are?"

"My father's name is Sato Yoshikiyo, and he is the one known to the world as Master Saigyou."

"Ah la la la la! Why are you hiding? Come and fight me head on!"

Chiyo chased the old monk and shuttled back and forth in the complex manor. The wings of fire blew out countless sparks, constantly igniting things around him.

"Isn't that a little weird?"

The two people waiting outside looked at the black smoke gradually rising from the manor, and Xiangzi asked with some uncertainty.

"Um...it should be fine, right?"

Huashan Yuanchun felt a little guilty, but it should be fine. In addition to the spirit, some losses were inevitable. It was not an antique-level manor anyway.

In the manor, the fire was gradually expanding.

"You guys, you are always running away from something! Wasn't it awesome just now? Aren't you going to hang me?"

Chiyo was talking rubbish wildly, but due to his cultivation, his words were relatively poor for the time being. Apart from a few sarcastic sentences, he couldn't say any particularly unpleasant dirty words.

"Ugly, really extremely ugly. The gesture of struggling to live like this is the ugliness of human beings."

In the eyes of the old monk, Chiyo's burning body, repeatedly burning and reborn, with its bloody appearance, is a symbol of mankind's ugly desire to survive.

"What's wrong! What does life and death have to do with me?"

Chiyo couldn't catch up for a long time, so he simply burned himself to ashes and turned into a pure fire bird and flew up.

"O wandering soul, everything that lives must perish, and everything that meets must leave. Come into death with me, and sleep forever under this butterfly in the night."

The old monk stopped dodging and inserted his staff into the ground. Countless souls emerged from the ground, spinning around him, and finally transformed into flying fluorescent swallowtail butterflies, which were swept into the sweeping firebirds like moths to the flames. .

That is death, the ability to induce people into eternal sleep, bring the living to death, and take away all life.

Chapter 72 The end of immortality

Die die die die die!

What's the point of living in such pain?

If you are hungry, you can make offal soup from your own internal organs, because at least it will not look like a human body and you can barely satisfy your hunger.

If you are cold, you will burn yourself, and your blood and flesh will be burned to ashes, and you will no longer feel the cold.

You have to learn to tolerate pain. Your feet are constantly undergoing wear and tear and rebirth. The body that has been punctured can also recover quickly. The pain will be cured as long as the affected area is cut off. The body is burning all the time. As time goes by, you will gradually get used to it. .

lonely, lonely...lonely

Die die die die die!

After death, everything will no longer matter. Eternal sleep is eternal silence. The living will perish. All joy will end and mourning will come. Heaven and humans are like the five days of decline.

From the perspective of the old monk, the firebird gradually withered, gradually revealing its burning human form, and the dim light swallowtail butterflies kept sinking into it, each one of which could easily lure mortals to the road to hell.

All that is indestructible is destroyed from within, and nothing can save a man who wants to die.

She seems to be dying too. When the flame goes out, the girl in front of her will enjoy silence and escape from this ugly life and enter a beautiful death. But

"Those who cannot die. The souls of the dead who have forgotten to become Buddhas cannot give birth to new life. Human beings who cannot die cannot know the noisy underworld."

Chiyo murmured in a low voice. Although he kept calling for eternal sleep, eternal sleep, it was the other person who was always wandering in the world. He could never become a Buddha and reach the other shore and become a new life.

[Note: The Japanese way of becoming a Buddha also means that the ghost has fulfilled its wish and gone to reincarnation with satisfaction. 】

As for Chiyo herself?People who cannot die, even if they want to give up and sink themselves to the bottom of the sea, they will only fall endlessly, falling, never reaching the end, never being able to go to the underworld, declaring the end of their lives.

The living must perish. If death is the proof of living, would she who cannot die have ceased to be alive long ago?

Under the puzzled gaze of the old monk, Chiyo lit up the entire manor with flames, and the soaring firebird swept the old monk into his arms.

"Life and death begin in darkness, and death and death end in darkness."

This was once a Chinese poem written by Kobo Daishi Kukai to express his confusion about the reincarnation of life and death. Now it comes from the mouth of an immortal man. I don’t know what kind of interpretation it has.

The firebird's song was gentle and long, and the entire manor was ignited in its tail feathers. The two people outside the manor stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths open. The firebird swayed into the air, scattering feathers of fire.

"It's you, the Phoenix's Idou! It's you! I've seen you! I've seen you before! The Immortal Boy of the Sin Slayer Temple! Fujiwara!"
