Time passed, countless days and nights passed, but Zhiyao did not return to the future as expected.
It is now 1920, the 12th year since he came here.
This year, Bai Ju was 18 years old.
Because Bai Ju was often taken care of by the heroes of Yangyan Village, she gradually got rid of the situation of being unwelcome in the village. Then, thanks to Zhiyao's careful care and companionship, Bai Ju did not go to the neighboring Rishang Mountain to be a pillar, but grew up healthily.
Finally, last year, when she was 17 years old, she got her wish and became Zhiyao's wife.
Nowadays, Zhiyao has his own house in Yangyan Village, and Baiju lives with him. In addition, there is another person living with him.
A black-haired girl who was born a year later than Baiju and is now 17 years old.
Every time.
That’s right, Fengshi is also Zhiyao’s wife. She married him on the same day as Baiju. Also, like Baiju, Fengshi did not go to Rishang Mountain to be a pillar.
Eight years ago, a village in Katase was hit by an unprecedented mountain flood. After the disaster, Feng Shi, who lost all his relatives, was sent to Higashin Mountain.
Having been closely monitoring Fengshi's arrival, Zhiyao immediately began to approach him. He leveraged his fame and prestige, connections to the Matsumoto family, a considerable sum of money, and even underhanded tactics to finally secure Fengshi's hand. Since then, Fengshi has lived with him and has become close friends with Baiju.
Then some time ago, Zhiyao secretly planned and completed the second thing.
Simply put, it is to let the three shrine maidens, Mizugo Inori, Mizugo Shomi, and Mizugo Hiraho, pay attention to a woman named Kururugi Shino who came to the mountains to commit suicide.
The request is to stop her from committing suicide.
If she insisted on dying, she should at least get all the information about her brother, Kurumi Miyazawa, before she died.
This obviously violated the rules that they could only watch but not interfere, and could not disclose the watched content to irrelevant people. However, when Zhiyao told them what was about to happen, they wavered and collectively decided to make an exception.
Later, Zhiyao wrote a love letter in the name of Shino, luring Suzuki Miyazo to go up the mountain in the future.
Later, when Kururugi Miyazo appeared, Zhiyao provoked him by saying that he would reveal his secret to the world. Then, when he took out a knife to kill him, he was immediately attacked by the guards of the Matsumoto family who were lying in ambush nearby and hacked to death. Not even his body was left intact.
The above two things are both out of Zhiyao's selfish desire, and what he is going to do next is something that has been planned for a long time.
"Brother Sikong, let's go." Bai Ju held Zhiyao's arm, looking like a little bird.
"Sister Baiju..." Fengshi said helplessly, "I've told you so many times that after you get married, you can't continue to call me brother. You have to either call me by my name or husband, or just call me dear like me."
"I'm used to it and I can't change it." Baiju stuck out her tongue playfully.
After checking their belongings one by one, the three of them went out, greeting the villagers from time to time on the way.
The destination of this trip is Rishang Mountain.
Although not affiliated with the shrine, Shiragiku and Fengshi, possessing spiritual power as vast as the ocean, would still regularly visit there to receive training from the shrine maidens, primarily honing their vision and aiming for mastery of both vision and control, while also learning some of the techniques of other shrine maidens. Of course, they only trained and were not candidates for Pillar status. In exchange for this, Zhiyao would regularly pay a certain amount of money or food.
In addition, because they always appeared in pairs on both sides of Zhiyao, over time, the people of Yangyan Village and Rishang Mountain privately gave them a title - the black and white witches beside the hero.
Black, Fengshi; white, white chrysanthemum.
Because of this, they are always the center of attention wherever they go. With Zhiyao added in, it is like a magnet falling into a pile of iron sand, automatically attracting everyone's attention.
……
At the entrance of Yangyan Village, Zhiyao's old friend Matsumoto Sosuke was already waiting there.
Ever since learning about Kururugi Miyazo's affairs, Matsumoto Sosuke began to send more guards to secretly protect the priestesses of Mount Higami. And on this important day, he personally led more than ten elite guards to escort Zhiyao and the other two.
"Sir Sikong, everything is ready."
"Oh, how could I be so worthy that Lord Matsumoto could escort me personally?" Zhiyao said jokingly.
"Thank you, Lord Matsumoto." Fengshi and Baiju said in unison.
At this time, a young man wearing glasses came over.
"Please, Lord Sikong, please allow me to come along," Aso Kunihiko pleaded respectfully. "Today is an important day, and I hope to use my camera to record this historic moment."
Zhiyao glanced at him, nodded silently, and then notified the crowd to set off.
At the back of the crowd, Kunihiko Aso stared at Feng Shi's back and let out a sigh that only he could hear.
He likes Fengshi and falls in love with her at first sight, but Fengshi is extremely cold to him.
At the beginning, she could communicate with him normally. However, since she accidentally touched his fingers one time, Fengshi began to distance herself from him and avoid him intentionally or unintentionally. After this happened many times, Aso knew what he meant.
Later, when she learned from others that Fengshi was already married and her husband was Zhiyao, she gave up the idea of coveting her.
Unconsciously, Aso's gaze shifted to Zhiyao next to him, and his mood gradually became subtle. Little did he know that Zhiyao's mood was equally subtle.
Zhiyao rarely interacts with Kunihiko Aso. It’s not that she dislikes him or is wary of him, but mainly because she feels awkward in his presence.
The reason lies with Fengshi and Baiju.
These two women originally had a special relationship with Kunihiko Aso, but now they have both become his wives, and Kunihiko Aso has become an outsider.
It's not that I'm sorry, because Aso and them were never going to be together.
Anyway...anyway it just feels awkward.
In this way, the group came from Yangyan Mountain to Rishang Mountain. When they arrived at the main gate of Youzhi Palace, Kuangnu and Jienu, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly came to greet them.
"Oh, Lord Sikong, Lord Matsumoto, good evening to both of you." Ms. Kuang greeted them respectfully.
"We have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come this way." Jie Nu smiled and took the initiative to lead the way.
Led by the two old ladies, everyone came to the lower level of the Ghost Palace, took a wooden boat to the Water Palace, and finally traveled all the way to the deepest part of the Water Palace.
In front of us is the source of the Night Spring, a pool surrounded by natural stones. There is a gap opposite the entrance of the pool. Placed in the middle of the gap is the coffin of the current Dazhu.
Ms. Kuang once said that the Great Pillar was about to collapse.
Knowing that the witch was suffering unimaginable pain, Zhiyao took out the Chu Yeshi sword and walked to the coffin without stopping.
"I'll set you free now."
While talking to himself, Zhiyao stabbed the tip of Chu Yeshi's sword into the gap in the coffin cover, breaking the seal. Then, Zhiyao opened the cover and released the large pillar inside.
The next moment, the originally calm surface began to produce visible ripples.
Night Spring is about to erupt.
In an instant, Bai Ju and Feng Shi stretched out their hands at the same time to suppress him.
As the water surface returned to calm, Yaoboji jumped into the pool and swam in the water at an extremely fast speed.
Under Yaoboji's purification, the dark pool water gradually became clearer and clearer, and Zhiyao could even faintly see the vague outline of the Yellow Springs Gate underwater.
Thinking that the time was ripe, Zhiyao pointed at the outline of the Yellow Springs Gate and instructed Fengshi and Baiju to change their target. Fengshi and Baiju received the order and immediately applied their spiritual power to the gate to close it.
But this is only temporary.
After a pause, Zhiyao took out the items in the bag and threw them to Yaoboji underwater.
After receiving the items, Yaoboji immediately placed the different items at corresponding positions around the door according to the structural diagram of the formation in her mind.
Gradually, a dazzling light began to appear at the bottom of the water. Yaoboji quickly returned to Zhiyao's side. At the same time, ten thin ice butterflies scattered across the water surface, vibrating their wings at maximum power, emitting a cold air visible to the naked eye.
Soon, as the cold air covered the entire horizontal surface, the water below began to freeze, and soon it was frozen into a solid block of ice from the surface to the bottom.
Seeing this, Fengshi and Baiju stopped exerting their strength and began to observe and wait carefully.
Half an hour passed and everything was fine.
An hour passed, the bottom was still bright, and nothing unusual happened.
Finally, Fengshi and Baiju added two additional layers of seals around the pool as a precaution. At this point, the gate to the underworld on Rishang Mountain was completely closed.
Everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts at this moment.
Fengshi and Baiju high-fived, Aso Kunihiko took photos everywhere, Kuangnu Yui talked with the soul of Dazhu, but for some reason, Zhiyao, who was originally smiling happily, suddenly froze, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and then two lines of tears slid silently down her cheeks.
When he returned home, Zhiyao still looked melancholy and unhappy. The two wives, who noticed something was wrong, looked at him and only then did they understand the reason for his behavior.
————The husband fulfilled his long-cherished wish, but could no longer fulfill the promise he had made.
They looked at each other, and in an instant, the two people who were in sync with each other came up with an idea at the same time.
But he didn't say it.
Because they both agreed that such matters should be raised by the parties themselves.
That night, Zhiyao continued to stare at the ceiling, unable to sleep all night. The next morning, he finally made up his mind and said to the two of them solemnly, "I have something to discuss with you."
"Let's go to Himuro's residence, right?" Feng Shi smiled.
"Tell me, when are you planning to leave?" Bai Ju winked cunningly.
Zhiyao was stunned and at a loss for a moment.
……
After many twists and turns, one night half a month later, the three of them successfully arrived at their destination. Looking at the familiar house in front of them, Zhiyao suddenly felt a sour feeling in his nose.
[I'm back, Wuhui, and I'll definitely save you this time]
Zhiyao muttered to himself, then he opened the door and stepped into the entrance first.
Everything in front of him was extremely familiar. Even though he hadn't been there for many years, he still remembered it clearly. Even the sour smell in the air was refreshing. The Bingshi Mansion was still the dangerous haunted house, but Zhiyao was calm and not nervous at all.
It’s not scary, it’s really not scary, because the lost love is inside.
I walked all the way from the entrance to the fireside room, and was just pressing the hand mirror through the mouth of the stone lion model according to my memory when I heard a noise from the door behind me.
The three of them turned around at the same time, and then Zhiyao was surprised and delighted.
"Kirie-chan!"
Excited, Zhiyao walked quickly forward with a smile on his face, but Xiao Wuhui just looked at him quietly, with a confused look on her face.
"It would take a very long time to read it," Zhiyao said, "so I'll tell you the story and you can use your eyes to determine if it's real or fake."
Next, Zhiyao introduced herself, briefly explained the situation, and told Wuhui about her fate. After listening to her, little Wuhui sighed meaningfully.
"Sikong."
Zhiyao picked her up.
"baby."
"Sikong, I believe what you say. Since you've experienced it once, you should know what my long-cherished wish is, right?"
"I will seal the Yellow Springs Gate, but you cannot sacrifice yourself."
"But...atonement..."
"I don't want to lose you again, so either you agree, or I leave now, and then you will never have the chance to fulfill your long-cherished wish."
Xiao Wuhui then stopped talking.
Under the leadership of Xiao Wuhui, everyone broke through various seals and locks along the way and came to the place where the evil Wuhui was.
Seeing Xiao Wuhui bringing a living person to find her, the evil Wuhui was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth rose.
"You've come just in time. It's a good opportunity for you three to feel my pain."
However, she miscalculated, the person in front of her was no ordinary person.
Any one of Fengshi and Baiju could compete with her, but now both of them attacked her at the same time, and she was completely unable to move with just the simplest restraint technique.
"Roar————" The evil spirits behind him roared unwillingly.
"Let go... of me..." The evil Kirie gritted her teeth angrily.
Hearing this, Zhiyao walked over leisurely, with ten thin ice butterflies floating around him. When he came to the evil Wuhui, he pushed aside the long hair that covered his face.
"I am going to kill you……"
Zhiyao turned a deaf ear to the words and looked at the pretty face in front of him that he had missed for a long time, and gently placed his hands on it.
"Wu Hui, long time no see."
"asshole……"
"This isn't your true self. The real you is gentle, kind, and considerate. You occasionally like to tease me, but you care about me from the bottom of your heart. You forbade me from going to the Abyss because you were worried about my health... Once, I was separated from you due to force majeure. Twelve years have passed in a flash. Now we meet again in this time and space. I want to say that this time I will never break my promise and will definitely free you from pain and fate."
After saying that, Zhiyao looked at the evil spirits on Wuhui's body. He did not have a fierce look on his face like he did twelve years ago. He just looked at them calmly. However, for some reason, the evil spirits felt panic from the bottom of their hearts.
"You all, go to hell." Zhiyao said softly.
