The Girl and Her Sword [Comprehensive + Sword III]

That is a story that happened in the distant past, or in a world that does not exist now.

In a world of one person, have you ever wanted to meet someone?

That's it.

Because of this, those two people, no, it should be said that a knife and a girl met.

The midsummer afternoon was very quiet, he sat beside that person, looking at the sky quietly.The blue sky was beautiful and the sun was so strong that it was just right for him to hide in the shadows.But theoretically speaking, he was not allowed to see this scene, even sitting on the porch like now, staring at the sky in a daze, it was thanks to that person——

"I'm in a daze again." A lazy voice came from beside him, and the person woke up.

"Yeah." He turned his face and nodded, "Are you awake?"

"Hmm...well." The man said, rubbing his eyes, he was wearing a pure black bathrobe casually, and there was a knife beside his shoulder more casually - his body.

The sword spirit who was just born is very weak, so weak that as long as the main body is placed in the room, he can only stay in the room. Because of this, that person took him out and put him beside him.

"Haha~" The man stretched his body and yawned, his thin figure became even thinner under the bathrobe, "Speaking... cough cough," before the man finished speaking, the man coughed twice.

He looked around, ran to one side and took a cloak, compared to his figure, the cloak was too big, and it was dragged on the ground for a long time, but he still held the cloak and walked persistently When he came to that person, he silently expressed his wishes with his eyes.

"Okay, okay." The man laughed when he saw this, "Give it to me, I'll put it on properly. Ah~ so cute, my... Sanriyue."

"A Wu, be good." Sanri Yuezong, who was still a child, said with a serious face. It was not easy to put on a serious expression on his tender face. In order to match his words and deeds, his whole face was wrinkled. stand up.

"Hahaha..." Seeing this, Ruan Qingwu couldn't help laughing, poked his face, and said. "I'll be with you until...."

"..." Because the body is not yet fully developed, the young Dao Ling can't speak a complete long sentence, so he can only continue to look at her with silent eyes.

"Ah~" Ruan Qingwu evoked a teasing smile, propped her chin, and poked Sanriyue's face with a little baby fat, "Want me to listen to you, or want to know more about me, How about saying the full sentence first?"

Feeling that she was underestimated, San Riyue turned her face angrily, not happy.

"Ha~" Ruan Qingwu couldn't help it, and laughed, "Hey, it's okay, I will wait. Wait until the day you can speak to me fluently."

- So, grow up.To grow up quickly before she gets old.

Human life is short, the father who created himself once said so, and she is not a human with a long life.It seems that I have been hurt, as if I have paid something to get myself.

Time is short.

Although it is very long for myself.However--

Fingertips that are too cold for humans, a face that is too pale for humans, and a body that is too thin for humans.

The Lord loves her, there is not much time left.

At least until then, grow into something she can rely on——

"Ah Wu!" The boy in hunting clothes came to her side cheerfully, "I've grown up ~ look." He stood still in front of Ruan Qingwu, stretched out his arms and spun around.

"Not bad~" Ruan Qingwu looked him up and down, nodded and said, then she touched the boy's head and smiled, "Is it because of me? It's so cute, come on~"

Maybe, at that time, looking at her little self reflected in her gentle eyes, maybe at that time...

A seed called love has been planted in my heart.

"I..." Sanriyue grabbed her hand and said eagerly, "I will grow up, I will grow up to the point where I can stand side by side with you, so, so Ah Wu... .” Can you wait for me?

"Yeah." Ruan Qingwu was slightly startled, then narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'll wait for you, don't worry."

Cherry blossoms.

I don't know when, a gust of wind blew, and the petals of the cherry blossoms floated over and landed on her shoulders.

So beautiful.

Thinking about it now, maybe it was at that time that I would have a soft spot for cherry blossoms.

"Ah, the cherry blossoms are blooming." Ruan Qingwu also noticed, she turned her head and saw the cherry blossoms blooming outside the wall. "Haha, by the way, my mother used to like cherry blossoms very much," she said nostalgicly, "I made a cherry blossom tree in full bloom by myself, but I started to struggle with whether it is true or not... Haha, now that I think about it, I can think about it." Questions like this are also kind of fun.”

"What kind of person is Ah Wu's mother?" asked the boy San Riyue.

"What kind of person..." Ruan Qingwu thought for a while, then said, "He is a very talented and weird person."

"Ah Wu..." San Riyue looked at her expression lost in memory, spread her hands, and the wind blew the petals onto her hands.

The lord's mother seems to be a very interesting person, but I never understood it.

Not only that, before the Lord explained everything about the Lord himself, he couldn't even imagine what kind of life the Lord lived before.

"Haha, that's because you're too young." Ruan Qingwu laughed, and his eyes became deep, "Once you live long enough, long enough, until you don't want to live anymore... At that time, like me Even if you don’t need me to tell you about the life of this kind of person, you can probably guess it.”

At that time, Sanriyue didn't understand the meaning of her words, but felt inexplicably sad.

"Why are you sad?" Ruan Qingwu was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Because I always feel that Ah Wu is going to leave me." San Riyue frowned, "I don't want to do this."

"Even if you say that..." Ruan Qingwu said helplessly, "But people will be separated sooner or later."

"I'm not a human, I'm a knife." San Riyue corrected.

"Hey~~" Ruan Qingwu pulled his face with a smirk and said, "Well, then, do you want to be by my side as a knife, or as a human being?"

"I..." Sanriyue was speechless for a while.

"Okay, wait for you to think about this question before answering me." Seeing this, Ruan Qingwu smiled again, "Whenever you have the answer, come and tell me."

Spring to autumn.

Before he knew it, he had turned into a young man.

"I seldom see your smile recently," Ruan Qingwu joked, "

However, Qingwu's health is getting worse and worse.

"Ah Wu." San Riyue looked at her body that was getting thinner day by day, and felt as if a stone was pressed in her heart, so heavy that she couldn't even breathe...

No, I'm not human, why do I subconsciously want to breathe?Sanriyue thought in surprise.However, it is indeed different from before.

These hands became slender and powerful, no longer the way they couldn't even grasp the cloak, they became able to hug her easily.

No longer ignorant, no longer powerless—

However, when he met her, he was still as helpless as ever.

You can bring her medicine, you can add clothes to her, and take care of her daily life, but even so——

Ruan Qingwu was still losing weight day by day.

"Give up." Ruan Qingwu saw what he was thinking, smiled slightly, and said, "I already knew that my time is numbered."

Time has not wrinkled her face, left no marks on her body, except for that white hair, there seems to be nothing that can prove that time is really passing, passing in these days when she is with herself.

life.

What kind of life is a human being?

"They are both fragile and powerful, selfless and greedy, beautiful and ugly... In short, they are existences that cannot be summed up in one word."

In early autumn, on a clear moonlit night, she was sitting on the promenade as usual, holding a shallow wine cup, and her eyebrows were vaguely the same as when she first saw her in Sanriyue.

"Just like the Lord?" San Riyue knelt quietly beside her, looked at her quietly, and said.

"Haha, I'm not." Ruan Qingwu smiled, the bright moon and the clear breeze, the lush orchids and bamboos, and a few budding epiphyllums were quietly silent around them, but San Riyue hardly noticed these, he looked deeply With Ruan Qingwu.

The moonlight is beautiful.

However, it was very illusory, so unreal that he felt that as soon as he looked away, Ruan Qingwu would disappear like a beautiful and short-lived dream.

"From life to death, from death to life," Ruan Qingwu said slowly, she looked at the sky with distant eyes, as if she was not admiring the moon, but looking at something else through the moon.

"Ah Wu..." Sanriyue paused, trying to reach out to her, but stopped again.

"I'm a coward." Ruan Qingwu said with a sneer, "Although I don't know the meaning of living, I just don't want to die...so much so that I have become the person I am now. "She touched her still smooth skin and smiled wryly. "But even so, I still have to thank you." She looked at Sankaiyue. Even though the years passed, the vicissitudes and tranquility of a hundred years had accumulated in those double pupils, and they were no longer clear and bright as when they were young. However, every time Sankaiyue looked at her, , still feel incredibly beautiful.

"Thank me?" Sanriyue was stunned for a moment. Could it be that in order to get herself, did the Lord give anything important?

"I have gone through hardships and dangers all my life, fighting with people and fighting against the sky. There are many hardships that are not humanly understandable." Ruan Qingwu looked away and looked at Yuanyue and said, "What I want is just a chance to live. I have been running all the way , can't stay, those who want to kill me can't kill me, those who want to love me can't see me, traveling in a foreign land, alone... But even so, I want to live until the world has long forgotten me The existence of me, people who remembered me fell into the ground when I didn't realize it, but I was still alive, I didn't want to die, haha, what a joke, only escape and lost life, what kind of life is it... Cough, cough, cough..." She coughed violently.

my lord.

my lord.

Sanriyue has been silently calling her in her heart.

After getting acquainted with human affairs, he understood the relationship between himself and Qingwu, but for some reason, he had an intuition that he shouldn't replace Awu with the master, so although he still called Qingwu Awu in his mouth, he always felt like this in his heart Silently calling her.

I am just a knife.He said to himself in his heart, as long as he serves the master's things.

however--

All excuses and reasons are just fig leafs created to hide the secret desire in his heart.

"So, what happened?" He looked at Ruan Qingwu, who was coughing uncontrollably, and said anxiously, "What happened back then? In order to get me, Ah Wu paid again... um..." The words continued Before finishing speaking, he silenced his voice.

Am I dreaming?

The Lord will hold me in his arms and kiss me like a lover.

The slender hands fixed the back of the head, and I followed her strength and half-folded into her arms. The orchid fragrance on her body was the same as imagined, as well as the smell of medicine left over from years of drinking medicine.

Although the action was tough, the kiss that fell on the lips was as gentle as moonlight.

Ahh... Your lord, you are indeed such a gentle and strong person.Sanriyue thought, and quietly opened her eyes again.

And Ruan Qingwu was also looking at him with a pityful smile in his eyes.

Are you laughing?

So, can I think that the Lord also has the same mood as me?

"Heh." Ruan Qingwu looked at him tenderly. "You can do whatever you want."

Neither admitted nor denied, as ambiguous as moonlight.

However, San Riyue took it as her admission and was full of joy.

Floating like a dream, several spring and autumn.

Even if you live by counting your fingers, time still flies by.

"Summer is here." He heard Ruan Qingwu say this in a day that was getting shorter and shorter.

"Ah? Yes." San Riyue was stunned for a moment and said.

"What were we doing last year?" Ruan Qingwu asked.

"Are you looking at the lotus?" San Riyue thought for a while and said.

"Where are the stars?"

"seen it already."

"Where's the moon?"

"I've seen it too."

"Ah...then let's go see the fireflies." Ruan Qingwu clapped his hands together and said.

"You want to go out?" Sanriyue said in surprise.

"Is it not possible?" Ruan Qingwu said with a slight smile. "After staying in the house for a long time, it's interesting to have a change of scenery."

"Okay." Sanriyue nodded, "Where are we going?"

"Go to any place where there are fireflies." Ruan Qingwu said.

"Okay." Sanriyue nodded, and the matter was decided in this way.

In the dark night, the stars and the moon are shining brightly, reflecting the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, the water is shimmering, the grass is green, and there are many mountains and mountains in the distance, creating a sense of tranquility.

"The mountains here are not comparable to my hometown after all," Ruan Qingwu said with a sigh.

"How?" Trinity asked.

"Peaks are solitary for beauty, and water is precipitous for turbulence," Ruan Qingwu said. "Isolation is high, turbulence is dangerous, and these two cannot be obtained without mountains."

"Is that so?" San Riyue thought for a while and said, "I can't imagine what that would be like."

"Ha," Ruan Qingwu laughed, "If you hadn't been there, how could you imagine such a scene out of thin air."

"It's all because Ah Wu didn't take me there." San Riyue blinked, pretending to be relaxed and smiling.

"Ha. The mountains are high and the roads are far away," Ruan Qingwu sighed with distant eyes, "I'm away from home, when will I be able to go back as I wish?"

"The fireflies haven't come yet." Sanriyue didn't want to continue talking about this, so she changed the subject.

"That's right," Ruan Qingwu said, "It seems to be too bright tonight, and it's not suitable for watching fireflies."

"Then shall we go back?" Sanriyue asked.

"It doesn't matter." Ruan Qingwu shook her head, the night wind came, her clothes fluttered, and she looked like a fairy, making San Riyue feel that if she didn't catch her, she could only watch her go away and was helpless.

"You're worried," Ruan Qingwu saw what he was thinking, and smiled, "Since half a year ago, when my body deteriorated more completely, you have never stopped worrying about me."

"I don't want to lose my lord." San Riyue bit her lip and said.

"Everyone has to face loss." Ruan Qingwu looked at San Riyue helplessly and said.

"But I'm not a human, I'm a knife, and I don't want to lose you." San Riyue retorted.

"You are too attached to me." Ruan Qingwu shook his head, "Life is not endless, and I will eventually reach the end."

"Will I do it too?" Sanriyue was stunned for a moment and asked.

"You won't." Ruan Qingwu said, "You will directly return to the space between heaven and earth."

"Then I don't want it, and I don't want you to go." San Riyue replied.

"Life is alive, no matter people or objects," Ruan Qingwu said slowly, "just like the moon has its ups and downs, it will lose and gain. Persevering people are often hurt by time and messed with by fate. Therefore," She sighed and said to San Riyue, "Let's let go of your attachment."

"So, you who want me to let go of my attachment so much, is it also an attachment?" San Riyue asked rhetorically.

"Ha," Ruan Qingwu shook her head, this time it was her who changed the subject, "Look, fireflies have appeared."

"Where?" Sanriyue asked in surprise.

"There." Ruan Qingwu said, pointing to a bush.

"No." San Riyue looked at the dark mass and said.

"I said yes." Ruan Qingwu said solemnly, "Look again."

Sanriyue continued to stare, and sure enough, within a short while, fireflies flew out of the grass one by one, flying more and more, like a river full of stars.

"My lord, can I come out with you like this tomorrow?" Seeing this beautiful scenery, San Riyue couldn't help but say.

"It's up to you, let's go back now." Ruan Qingwu was noncommittal, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay." Full of anticipation for the next day, San Riyue and Ruan Qingwu returned to their small courtyard.

However, the next day never came again.

Are there really gods and Buddhas in the world?

If anything, my prayers...
