Has the conscience of the winery been cleaned up today?

After getting the information he needed, Gin left Ibaraki who was still struggling with the word "like" he said casually, locked the door, and drove to him and Jiu Tun with Butterfly who had just killed the poison for him. location.

The location given by Ibaraki looks like a park on the map, but this exists within the scope of human vision.Across the boundary between the human world and another world, there is a monster mountain that is not recorded in human literature but is very famous in the sun——Baiyun Monster Mountain.

In fact, this mountain had no name at first, but after Shuten and Ibaraki came here to live in seclusion, the former just picked up this name casually for the sake of convenience.Ibaraki has always regarded Shuten's words as a standard, even if it is just to give the mountain a name, so the name has been passed down from his mouth, and it has been used to this day.

The park was some distance away from Mihua Town, and Gin had to drive for more than an hour to reach the destination.Park the car, gin will pin the butterfly that has become a brooch to the neckline, and stride into the park.

The park in the morning is usually a stage for the elderly, and there are very few people of Gin's age who will appear in the park at this point.Fortunately, there are not many people. After all, the weather is too cold. Compared with going out and blowing cold wind to call it exercise, most people choose to stay at home and blow on the heating and cover the quilt.

Passing through the frozen artificial lake, Gin came under a bare tree, raised his hand and patted the tree trunk three times, the scenery around him changed instantly, and the beautiful and peaceful park scenery disappeared, replaced by a steep and unconventional mountain .

The winter in the human world is not connected with the Monster Mountain. It seems that it is still in autumn. There are fiery red maple trees all over the mountains and plains. The colors are bright and bright, like groups of burning flames.

There are often little monsters that have not yet transformed around, and those who are a little bit more courageous will stop and observe Qin Jiu, an outsider. Dare to probe, three or five leaned together tremblingly to keep warm.

Gin followed Ibaraki's description all the way up the mountainside, and saw a small courtyard with blue bricks and wooden beams in the bamboo forest near the stream.There was a maple tree planted in the yard, the red leaves on the branches were like fire, shining brightly, and other objects were covered with a layer of dull dust.

The butterfly turned into a prototype and flew into the yard, circled the maple tree twice, and suddenly expressed emotion: "I didn't expect that irritable Ibaraki-douji to be so generous."

Pushing open the wooden door that was concealed, the gin circled around the front and back of the house, and finally stopped under the maple tree like a butterfly.

I don't know if Shuten and Ibaraki really don't care about the residence or they just like this style. Gray and black make up most of the huge courtyard, and the only bright color is the maple tree.The dazzling red on the tree sets off the gloomy and bleak colors in other places, and the two sides are clearly separated, which is strange and harmonious.

"What do you mean?" Attracted by the warm red, Qin Jiu couldn't help reaching out to touch a drooping maple leaf, and asked casually.

The butterfly fluttered its wings and landed on Gin's shoulder: "Have you forgotten? Ibaraki Doji likes Shuten Doji, but Shuten has a crush on another monster, so he finds a place with a maple forest to live in seclusion, I planted a maple tree in my own yard. Shuten is so infatuated with the sunshine, Ibaraki Doji doesn't mind, and has been sleeping here for hundreds of years, what is it? "

Butterfly's words seem to make sense at first, but Gin always feels that this is not the case.

"Butterfly, don't you think this tree is a little too... dazzling?" Sliding his fingertips from the maple leaves to the trunk, Gin lightly pressed the rough and cracked bark under his palm, a kind of illusory trembling faintly "Check it out."

"it is good."

The butterfly flew up lightly, and slowly landed beside Gin's palm, and the scattered blue fireflies intertwined into translucent chains to wrap around the maple tree.

At the moment when the chains were closed, Qin Jiu heard a heartbeat, which was steady and even, but weak and distant, as if floating from a very far away place, unable to distinguish the direction, and did not know whether it was the sound of the heart beating at the moment.

Shuten lying upstairs in the dairy has no heartbeat.

Before he could react, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and the mountains, waters, and maple tree courtyards all melted into the sudden starlight, replaced by stars, sun, and moon, and the vast universe.

Gin and Butterfly maintained a posture of reaching out to build a tree, and the other maintained a posture of leaning their bodies, confused by this sudden change.

Gin was the first to come back to his senses after a long period of wind and rain, grabbed the butterfly back to his shoulder, and took out the lighter - the knife was placed on the milk shop's anti-Ibaraki - to ignite the flame of God.

Golden flames rose against the wind, and a cluster of small flames burned up the universe around them.The sun, moon and stars, which were still full of depth just now, are like posters turned into ashes, one after another, revealing the truth hidden underneath...or the illusion that is better disguised.

Falling back to the ground from the void, Qin Jiu staggered, then stood firm, looked around, and saw a vast and deep forest in front of him.

The moonlight above the head is like washing, and under the cold light, everything in the world and even the floating dust in the air are clearly visible, while in the dark where the light does not shine, there are many shadows, strange and inexplicable.

"Is this a reality or an illusion?" Qin Jiu stood cautiously on the spot, tapping the butterfly on his shoulder with his fingers.

Butterfly seemed to realize it at this time, and quickly turned on the scanning function: "This is not reality, nor is it an illusion, this is... a dream."

Before the words fell, a slight sound of footsteps sounded from behind Qin Jiu, stepping on dead branches and leaves, making a crisp cracking sound, approaching step by step.

Hearing the noise, Gin's first reaction was to hide and check the situation.But he thought about it, this is just a dream, no matter what happens, it is not real, instead of hiding, it is better to face it openly, maybe you can find more things.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiu took back the steps he had taken, and turned to face the direction of the sound of footsteps.

In the moonlit place, a figure walked slowly.

It was a young woman, dressed in a red maiden costume, holding a bow and arrow, with a cool and noble temperament, beautiful and clear.

Her expression was calm, and there was a tinge of blood under her feet, as if she had just experienced a fierce battle, and her whole body exuded a murderous aura.

Seeing the gin and wine, the woman didn't move her mind, she put an arrow on her bow like a conditioned reflex, the tip of the arrow swirled with a breeze, opened a barrier of clarifying spiritual power, and flew flying with a sharp arrow, piercing a line of moonlight.

A sharp arrow came through the air, and Qin Jiu did not dodge or dodge, wanting to see if the arrow would fall on him.

Just at the critical moment, the long arrow approached in front of him, the spiritual power was as sharp as a knife, and Qin Jiu could even feel a sting on his face.However, the arrow brushed past his shoulder, took away the butterfly squatting on his shoulder, and nailed it to the tree behind him.

Waiting for the rabbit's gin: "..."

Honest Butterfly: ? ? ?

"Evil and evil, vulnerable." The woman lowered her hands, treated everything indifferently, her eyes flicked over the gin, as if looking at an ant praying mantis, "Go back, this is not the place you should come."

After finishing speaking, she lifted her foot and walked in another direction, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Qin Jiu froze for several seconds before remembering to check on the situation of the butterfly.At that time, the butterfly was firmly nailed to the tree trunk by the arrow, and after several struggles, it was suppressed by the spiritual power attached to the arrow, and could not move at all.

Fortunately, the spiritual power didn't hurt anyone, Qin Jiu raised his hand and easily pulled out the arrow, and the butterfly fell to his palm, and it took him a while to recover his ability to move.

"Are you okay?" Seeing the butterfly's tentacles trembling like an electric shock, Gin Jiu asked with a smile.

"No, nothing, my information processing core was affected by the power contained in that arrow, and it will recover soon." Butterfly said, the last bit of spiritual power's influence on it just disappeared, and it flapped its wings and flew away Get up and fall back on Gin's shoulders.

This time it switched shoulders.

Seeing that it was fine, Qin Jiu stopped talking and looked at the arrow left by the woman.

This arrow is an ordinary wooden arrow, only sharpened. The only special thing is the spiritual power attached to it by the woman, which is magnificent, cold and cold, full of clarity and righteousness.

If it is said that the evil spirit gives people a strange and gloomy feeling, then the spiritual power on this arrow is completely the opposite of the evil spirit, allowing people with evil intentions to see it and give birth to a little light from the bottom of their hearts.

Just as Qin Jiu was thinking, the arrow in his hand suddenly shattered and scattered into the sky, sweeping away the dream scene like a whisk.Opening his eyes again, Qin Jiu looked around and found that he was back in the yard on Baiyun Mountain, with the dazzling red maple tree still in front of him.

It's just that compared to before, there is an extra wooden arrow on the tree, just inserted in the position where the butterfly was nailed to the tree.

Gin didn't feel anything yet, so Butterfly shivered first.

"Oh my god, was that really a dream just now?" It couldn't help but began to doubt its own judgment.

"Let's treat it as a dream." Gin didn't think too much about it. He reached out and pulled out the arrow. His fingertips caressed the body of the arrow, stained with long-dried blood, "Check."

Butterfly quickly flew forward to scan, and quickly got the result: "It's the blood of Shuten-douji."

Gin raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Butterfly tapped its tentacles vigorously: "Sure! I can't go wrong with this simple sample comparison!"

"That's weird." Gin was a little tired standing, saw a chair next to him, strolled over and sat down, "If the blood on the arrow belongs to Shuten-douji, it means that the dream just now has something to do with him, or it is simply his. .But even though that witch is powerful, can she really put him in a deep sleep for 500 years with one arrow?"

What's even more strange is that there is no wound on Jiu Tun's body.

"Also, how did this dream survive? Why didn't Ibaraki Doji trigger it before?" Gin raised his head to look at the leafy maple trees, his eyes were deep and far away, thoughtful, "These maple trees really and Is it related to Shuten-douji's unrequited love?"

Or there are other secrets.

……

"What kind of maple tree? Where did the maple tree come from on Baiyun Mountain?" Ibaraki was dumbfounded by Gin's question. No."

"Didn't Shuten-douji plant the tree in the yard on purpose?" Butterfly couldn't believe it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would my best friend do such a silly thing?" Ibaraki asked even more in disbelief.

Jiu Tun was still asleep.

Gin was expressionless: "I just said how could he be so generous."

Is it true that Ibaraki is a philanthropist if you let the person you like live in an environment where you will think of your rival anytime, anywhere?
