【Ghost White】Shirazawa's Secret

——"Yan Mo Dawang."

——"What's the matter, Ghost Lantern?"

——"Ghosts and gods...how do they reincarnate?"

——"Huh? Why do you ask such a question?"

——"It's nothing, please continue to work hard today."

It has been more than a year since I came back from Kunlun.

Ghost Lantern has never felt such a difficult time.

It stands to reason that for these gods and demons who are thousands of years old, a decade or so is just a snap of the fingers, but he has the illusion that days are like years.

Although he didn't meet Bai Ze every now and then, he always looked forward to it, but now he doesn't even know how to face the beast if it really comes back.

It was as if a hole had been opened in my heart, with shallow scabs forming on it. As long as I heard the name of auspicious omen, the scar would be torn open again, revealing the fuzzy flesh and blood that hadn't healed inside.It probably broke out a few times, and no one in hell dared to mention the Chinese medicine doctor who once lived in Taoyuan Township in front of him.

Bliss Full Moon is organized under the care of Ms. Akuko and Momotaro, it seems that there is never a shortage of anyone, and no one is needed anymore.

"Master Ghost Lantern!" From a distance, Xiao Bai ran over happily, put down the book in his hand, and stroked the white dog's head.

"We are going to Taoyuan Township to help Momotaro! Do you want to go together?" Xiaobai asked innocently, wagging his tail.

"Hey! Are you an idiot? Master Ghost Lantern hasn't been to Taoyuan Township for more than a year." Liu Linan next to him hurriedly covered its mouth and reprimanded it in a low voice.

"That's right, Lord Ghost Lantern hates Taoyuan Township the most, you guy, you still don't know how to read words and expressions." Seeing Yan Mo's assistant turn dark, Kakisuke also complained.

"How can I help?" Although he was unhappy, he still asked.

"Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. Momotaro said that the tradition of the Bliss full moon is to clean up the old and usher in the new! In the evening, everyone will have dumplings and hot pot together!" Breaking free from Liuli Nan's wings, Xiaobai rushed to answer.

"Xiaobai!!!" The pheasant and the monkey were dumbfounded. This stupid dog said so many things about stepping on thunder at one time. Although the assistant officer will not do anything to animals, he will inevitably be assigned some hard work in the future.

Seeing the dark clouds on Ghost Lamp's face, he pondered for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll go with you."

For some reason, he agreed.

As soon as he stepped into Taoyuan Township, he regretted it a little.

The reason why I have been avoiding coming here is that I am afraid of being touched by the scenery, and finally I smell the peach blossoms and the faint smell of the old waterfall. The scab in my heart seems to be torn open, and blood is bubbling out.

Pushing open the door of the Bliss Full Moon, the divine beast in white was still smiling and saying welcome to Mimi in a trance, but only Momotaro was standing in front of a row of cabinets wearing an apron and holding a feather duster.

"Hey? Master Ghost Lantern! Why are you here!?" Momotaro was taken aback.

Since a long time ago, the lord no longer came to pick up the medicine ordered by himself, and either sent someone to pick it up or sent someone to deliver it.He could only see the busy second-in-command of Yan Modian only when he went to Hell, but he was a little caught off guard by his sudden visit today.

"I'm sorry! I don't know if you're ready for coming. The living room hasn't been cleaned yet, and there's too much dust. Please go to the back room to rest first." Momotaro pointed to Bai Ze's room, and he carefully didn't mention the long-lost The name of the boss, so as not to offend the other party.

"I don't care if I take the liberty to visit, so please don't bother me." Ghost Lantern walked into the bedroom without evasion.

The room is clean, it is not difficult to see that Momotaro has always kept the house tidy.Compared with my own dormitory, there are very few things in this space, and the decoration is extremely simple.

His attention was drawn to a stack of crumpled papers on the bedside table.

This stack of things is obviously out of place with the whole room. The old paper is yellow, with Chinese characters written with a brush on it, and there are traces of friction and dust on the paper.

Probably it was once forgotten by Tuanqi in a corner that he never paid attention to when cleaning by himself in the past, but when it was cleaned by others, it was turned out.Momotaro didn't know Chinese characters very well, didn't know if it was useful, and didn't dare to throw it away casually, so he had to put it on the bedside like this.

Gui Deng was curious, picked up one and glanced at it, instantly as if struck by lightning.

On the paper is a small seal script, and the crooked words are "There are Huang Ting bottles and wine in the case, and all the fates are forgotten." In the lower right corner, a child is drawn with a unique painting method—if I hadn't seen Bai Ze's Painting, Ghost Lamp will never admit it, that is clearly the human kid himself.

He glanced at each piece of paper quickly.

The fonts and ink colors are different. Judging from the details, these things were definitely not written overnight, and some of the earlier hieroglyphs could not even be recognized by ghost lamps.

Most of the content is poetry, some have rhymes, some don't. He doesn't know much about Chinese literature, so he can't determine whether it is a quotation or an original one.

But even if you don't understand the background of the poem, people with a discerning eye can still see that the words of these things are full of love, and Zhang Zhang is filled with longing.

His fingers lightly touched these flimsy pages, and stopped at the most distinctive one.

The piece of paper was a bit stiff and wrinkled more than others. There were circles of tiny salt stains on it, and the ink color was a little blurred. There was a dark mass next to it. If you carefully distinguish it, it might be a small plant. Physalis.

"Jun buried the spring in the mud and bones, and I sent the world full of snow..." Ghost Lantern silently read the words on the paper, his body seemed to be pierced.

White pig, you liar.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ghost Lantern immediately bid farewell to Momotaro, Akuko, Xiaobai, Kakisuke, and Liu Linan, and left Taoyuan Township.

"Look, you still made that lord angry." The figure in the kimono gradually disappeared on the horizon, and Kakisuke was a little dejected.

"I don't think so." Dr. Rabbit, who had been silent all this time, was thoughtful, "Maybe Lord Ghost Lantern is in a good mood."

Originally planning to leave for Kunlun directly, the Assistant Officer of Yan Modian, who calmed down a little, first went to the real world to buy a pair of rings, and picked some of the best-colored and clearest eyeballs from the snapdragons and tied them into a bouquet.

After everything was ready, he changed into a brand new kimono, and then set off solemnly.

Once you know what the other person wants, you will never let go.If you don't like rough kidnapping, give him a courteous marriage proposal.Understand what that person is worried about, so that he has no worries.

When passing through the sky above China, Ghost Lantern looked down and saw countless fireworks rising.

Is it New Years?His mood was also driven by the lively atmosphere, and he quickened his pace, just wanting to see the thoughtful person who had been watching for thousands of years sooner.

Probably because of the festival, the turbidity of this world even spread to Kunlun.Standing at the door of the house that he had visited once, the ghost lamp raised his hand, and the moment he was about to knock on the door, he heard a conversation between two divine beasts in the room.

"Uuuuuuuuuu, Xiezhi, he kicked me again...it hurts..."

"I told you that you should not eat such a spicy hot pot if you are about to give birth. If you don't listen, you deserve it!"

"You still talk sarcasticly! This is your son, okay?"

The hand knocking on the door stopped in mid-air, Gui Deng felt that his chest was constricted and he couldn't breathe. He retracted his arms tremblingly, but the voice in the room continued.

"...he...he kicked harder...you...you have to think of a way...I... woo..." Bai Ze's cry was heart-wrenching, but at this moment, it was like a knife, each word stabbing at Gui Deng's heart .The snapdragon bouquet in his hand fell to the ground and made a faint sound, which was covered by the loud singing and dancing on the TV in the house.

"Then what should I do? Help you massage?" Xie Zhi replied, followed by the sound of pulling out the chair and walking around.

The ghost lamp came to the window and observed the situation in the room through the gap.

In the warm light, two shadows, one black and one white, dressed in similar Hanfu, leaned together like a pair of Bi people.

The white one is the mythical beast in his heart.I saw Bai Ze's face remained the same, the corners of his eyes were still bright red, and the corners of his lips were still angry, but his abdomen was swollen high, as if he was pregnant at full term.

The black one is the guy he hates the most. ——Also, the father of the child in Bai Ze's womb.

The sleepy-looking Ruishou leaned on his partner, resting his waist with his hands, as if he couldn't support the weight of his body. The caring object next to him rubbed his stomach while supporting his shoulders to support him.

Ghost Lamp just stared at the unaware two people in the room expressionlessly, his chest seemed to be hollowed out, and all his strength flowed away from there.He didn't need air, and he didn't need to breathe, but his body felt a suffocation-like feeling.

He took out the box of the pair of rings from his bosom, threw it into the grass beside him, took another deep look at Bai Ze, and left Kunlun.

Maybe that guy loved him deeply, but fate is fleeting.Miss it before you notice it, and lose it after you notice it.Probably, this is the so-called fate.

A wall separates him from the happy family of three inside. He who is blocked outside, he who never knows what it means to be embarrassed, and he who believes that hard work will succeed, feels like a joke.

What can be met but cannot be sought, what is desired cannot be expected.

Ghost Lantern smoothed his sleeves, and remembered a waka that he had read:

Sunrise and sunset today,

Today flowers bloom and sunset.

Sunset and sunrise today,

Today's flowers are not yesterday's flowers.

"You'd better stop rubbing, the more you rub, the more uncomfortable it will be... woo..." Bai Ze pushed away Xie Zhi's hand, panting heavily while lying on the table, the child in his stomach was very strange tonight, it was so noisy for no reason.

"After all, that guy in your family hates me so much, it's normal for this little guy to hate me." Xiezhi sat back in his seat helplessly, "Don't say that he is really scary, now that I think about that look at that time My hair is still standing on end. Can't you find another reason to refuse? Thanks to you, I don't even dare to go to Japan."

"Aren't I in a hurry." Bai Ze circled his round belly with his hands, and the restless fetus slowly calmed down, "What's more, you didn't tell me about the Sansheng Stone at that time. Personality, if I don’t refuse, I will definitely be tied back.”

"How long do you think it will be?" Xiezhi stretched out his hand to touch Bai Ze's abdomen, and as expected, he was kicked in the palm by the little guy inside.

"Well... It should be recently, he is getting more and more active, and I can't hold on if he doesn't come out." Bai Ze frowned in pain, and gave the man a dissatisfied look.

The pregnancy period of the divine beast is uncertain, and it is usually possible for several decades or even hundreds of years.But the ghost lamp has human genes, and the fetus also has the blood of human ghosts. It has been nearly two years and has been fully developed.

"So, after a while, you'll be able to do that thing?" Xiezhi took a sip of tea and relaxed back on the chair.The days of being a babysitter are finally coming to an end, and he just begs this useless old man to clean up the troubles and messes he caused, and stop involving him in inexplicable relationships.Recently there are some gossips in China's heavenly world, Xiezhi feels bitter and can't tell, so he simply stays in Kunlun with Bai Ze.

"Well, I can go to Yuelao when my spiritual power recovers." The beast raised his head from the table, saw the other party's posture and lowered his face, "Hey! Everything you think in your heart is written on your face! Don't act like that. If you want to release the expression of being so happy, you won’t be able to wait for a minute, and you’re not the only one.”

Not wanting to fuss too much with pregnant people, the man in black just pouted, "It's not bad for a year or two, so what if you tell him, I'll be happy, you can do whatever you like, that guy You must be more careful and considerate than me, and you don't have to suffer so much."

"I... don't want to take risks..." Of course Bai Ze knew that whether it was for himself or the fetus in his womb, being accompanied by ghosts and gods was more beneficial than Xiezhi, the most yang beast, but he didn't know that the Sansheng Stone had something It didn't work, so he wasn't going to show his cards until his name was engraved.

After the ghost lamp left that day, Xiezhi told him what he had heard.The names of ordinary couples can be engraved by Yuelao, but the identities of gods and ghosts are too special, and the fate of immortal beasts is too heavy. His level is higher than that of Shangxian, so he can only go there in person.

The divine beast with a ghost fetus is too yin, and its spiritual power is damaged. It needs to wait until the body recovers. It took more than a year to come and go.During this period, Xiezhi also asked him if it was okay to just leave the ghost lamp on and not explain.Bai Ze pondered for a long time, thinking that it would not be a year or two to be an enemy with that ghost, even if he might be tempted by the other party because of a one-night stand, he would not become depressed after being rejected.Although it would be troublesome to explain later, the uncooked rice had already been cooked at that time, and the evil spirit probably couldn't change the result.

"Come, come! Let's continue eating hot pot!" After he recovered a little, Bai Ze picked up his chopsticks again with a smile on his face, "This is the bottom of the hot pot with brains, it's delicious!"

"Huh? You actually put that kind of thing in it! You're the only one who likes to eat it!!!"

He is just a guy whose scar heals and forgets the pain, I hope there will be no twists and turns, Xiezhi thought quietly.

——"Yan Mo, about the reincarnation I mentioned to you last time..."

——"Ghost Lantern Lord, have you really thought it through?"

——"Well, now Tanggua and Eggplant can stand alone, even if I'm not here, hell can still work well."

——"No, I'm referring to you, Ghost Lamp-kun. What do you think?"

- "..."

——"I'm just a little tired... I need a thorough rest..."
