Ring

"It's so good." Jiang Zeyue smiled with relief.She took Wei Shenzhi's hand, and stroked his palm a few times with her fair fingers.Wei Shenzhi withdrew his hand, but saw two white plum blossoms in the palm of his left hand.Those patterns are not complicated, but lifelike.

"These are two monsters who still have a contract with me. One is Date Masamune's sword, named Masamune Tokuzane; the other is Sugawara Michizane's bowstring, named Michizane Anyu."

"When you are at the end of your life, you can call them to help you. But you have to remember that the contract I transferred to you is only valid once. Both Masamune Tokuzane and Dozen Anyu are famous and powerful fusangshen, you It will definitely come in handy when we get them."

"..."

Fu Sangshen is a monster transformed into a utensil, and most of them were once cherished by the master and then abandoned... Cough, for example, Master Qin Gu.They prayed to Tsukiyomi, who is in charge of the night, and turned into monsters. Some were looking for their former masters, while others...

It's for revenge on society! !

Wei Shenzhi immediately recalled the elective courses on Japanese mythology he had learned in college, and couldn't help but feel a little bit pained—how did he know that he would one day become the master of Fusangshen, so he pestered Fusangshen to harass and even persecute human beings What happened to me as a joke; but now this thing really happened to me...

Sure enough, Jiang Zeyue smiled and said: "Zhengzong Zhuzhan hates those who throw away weapons at will. If he sees that you don't take care of your sword..." Her eyes aimed at his heart...

"He'll take your heart out."

He clearly knew that the other party's gaze was harmless, but Wei Shenzhi still felt pain in his heart.

"An Gong has a very good temper. It's just that if he really gets angry, he will be more unscrupulous than Zhu Zhan."

Wei Shenzhi said: "Of course I will cherish them." When Jiang Zeyue smiled and nodded and returned to Wei Siyun, Wei Shenzhi looked at Wei Siyun with complicated eyes and said, "Grandma, you keep telling me that The day you rescued me was just a loss of cultivation..."

"You don't have to think that I made sacrifices for you." Wei Siyun brushed back his snow-white long hair.Wei Shenzhi hasn't looked at her carefully for a long time - her wrinkles are better than a few years ago, and her waist is not as straight as before.She is like an old tree. During the time he was growing up, she had grown so much unconsciously.

This knowledge made Wei Shenzhi almost count on his nose.Wei Siyun stepped forward and reached out to stroke his hair.Her figure was even more stooped than before, and she could only touch the top of his hair on tiptoe.Probably because this action was too exhausting, Wei Siyun moved his skinny fingers to his cheeks, and stroked them delicately.

"Lu's Changsheng once said that if the Wei family relies on Taoism to build a family, all descendants will be blessed with little luck, and your 'death' was originally a catastrophe in your life. Your catastrophe was caused by the Wei family. A lifespan of dozens of years can save your life, so it’s not a loss-making business.”

"Dozens of years?!" Wei Shenzhi was shocked, "Grandma, how could you do this!"

"Silly boy, don't blame yourself too much, I've lived in this world for too long." Wei Siyun smiled and wiped away his tears, "Miss Jiang, she... only has more than ten years. And my time is about the same. If I can go to Huangquan with her, I will have no regrets in this life."

"grandmother……"

Wei Shenzhi suddenly knelt down and tightened his grip on Wei Siyun's thin waist, with such force that it seemed as if his bones would be broken.He buried his head in her waist, trembling all over.He didn't make any sound, but Wei Siyun could feel a warmth gradually rising around her waist, and then it was cold again, and her clothes were wet with water.

Edgar walked over in silence.He bent down and patted Wei Shenzhi's shoulder lightly.However, Wei Shenzhi hugged Wei Siyun even tighter, and he gritted his teeth hard to prevent himself from making any sound.

"You have surpassed Miss Jiang and completed the test of becoming a teacher. From today on, I will officially entrust you with the position of the Patriarch of the Wei family. You don't have to shoulder any responsibilities to strengthen the Wei family, but don't forget the annual Come back here during the Ching Ming Festival, and offer incense to the ancestors of the Wei family."

Wei Shenzhi nodded, but still hugged Wei Siyun's waist.

Wei Siyun patted his head lovingly, but there was still nostalgia and reluctance in his eyes.In the end, she took Wei Shenzhi's right hand and put it in Edgar's left hand.

"His parents passed away, and his uncle had a deep enmity with him. His cousin is too young to be self-reliant, so I will hand him over to you."

"Ms. Wei..." Edgar looked at her with complicated eyes, "Are you leaving?"

"Well. I want to leave this square inch with Miss Jiang, and go to the outside world to have a look." Wei Siyun showed a faint smile, "This is probably the last time we meet. If that day , when you and Shenzhi can no longer get any news about me, you can set up my tablet on the Wei family's ancestral hall."

"..." Edgar frowned.He turned his face and sighed, "I thought...you would go to the Blood Race with us."

"I don't want to have anything to do with you vampires anymore." Wei Siyun joked with a smile, "I've had enough of you alone. If it wasn't for Shenzhi, I would definitely seal you in a spell, plus Countless engravings will prevent you from escaping at the end of the world."

Edgar sighed again.It took him a lot of effort to persuade Wei Shenzhi, but Wei Siyun spoke again:

"Just now, Shenzhi promised Miss Jiang to restore the Zhuzi Zheng. The Zhuzi Zheng was cut off by a long black knife. If you bring it back to the blood clan, there may be a way to repair it."

Hearing this, Edgar glanced at Master Qin Gu, who happened to be looking at him too.If it weren't for the too sad atmosphere of the scene, this scene would be quite funny-the descendant of Countess Elizabeth of Hungary and the piano of Emperor Keigyoko of Japan? !

This weird sense of disobedience made Edgar feel a little irritable.The two couldn't speak the same language, so he had to smile at each other, hoping that this friendly sign could be recognized by the other party.Master Qin Gu also responded with a smile, and even leaned slightly and bowed.

"Hello, my name is Edgar Flanders Bathory. Nice to meet you." He tried his best to form this sentence in broken Chinese.

Qin Guzhu smiled slightly: "Zhuzi Yuezheng."

That weird string of Japanese pronunciation played in Edgar's mind like a string of sound waves, and he remembered the pronunciation of the last word of the other party's name—but it's really rude to call the other party that way directly!

He's a little confused now, replaying the last syllable of the other party's name over and over again in his mind, and finally repeating it so many times that it deviates from the original pronunciation.Fortunately, Wei Shenzhi came back to his senses at this time: "Edgar, take Chikushi and go."

Because the other party has turned into a human form, Wei Shenzhi naturally cannot continue to call him Qin.Japanese people are used to calling people they just met by their surnames, so Chikushi should be okay, right?

This is simply Edgar's life-saving straw.After he exchanged a few words with Qin Guzhu, Jiang Zeyue also said something to Wei Siyun.After she finished speaking, Wei Siyun patted Wei Shenzhi on the shoulder and said:

"Be careful, we should go."

"Leave now...? Won't you stay for a while?"

"No, be careful. If I stay for a day, you will suffer for a day, and I will leave your life eventually." Wei Siyun said, "Birth, old age, sickness, death, separation of love and hatred, these are things that human beings must go through. Even the Wei family Her master, Lu's longevity, cannot escape death in the end, because she is a mortal after all."

After a pause, she continued: "But you are different. A blood pact has been imprinted on your soul. As long as Edgar does not die, you will live forever. Human beings will end their suffering because of death; and you will have a near-eternal life, but relatively, you have to get used to the pain of parting. For example..."

She looked at Master Qin Gu beside her, "Do you know what era Emperor Jing Xing was from?"

Wei Shenzhi shook his head, he knew nothing about Japanese history.

"Emperor Jingxing is the No.12 emperor of Japan. According to records, his birthday is said to be in 13 BC."

Seeing Wei Shenzhi's eyes widen, Wei Siyun continued: "His records are incomplete, and his life history is too old to be verified. It is said that he got the Zhuzi Zheng when he was 20 years old. Can you imagine... Master Qin, how many years has he been waiting?"

"He waited for a full 2000 years."

"Although I hate him for hurting Miss Jiang, I really sympathize with him. He cultivated into a demon in the Heian era. When he has a pair of walking legs and can go to see Emperor Jing Xing, this world has long been There is no trace of his existence anymore." Wei Siyun smiled, "And now that you have eternal life, do you think... If you repeat his mistakes and wallow in the pain of losing your loved ones, I will Is it safe to go?"

Wei Shenzhi didn't speak anymore.And Wei Siyun held his left hand, spread his five fingers, and the two snow-white plum blossoms came into view:

"Date Masamune's sword and Sugawara Michizane's bow." Wei Siyun smiled, "The master is dead, what's the point of cultivating to become a demon? I still can't understand the loyalty of the Japanese nation. And these fusangshen , It’s really more than a bitter feeling.”

"Oh?" Jiang Zeyue's voice came from behind her, seeming to be smiling, "Si Yun, you don't understand me?"

"No, I don't understand you." Wei Siyun also laughed, "But... I admire you."

........................

Wei Siyun left.

Together with Jiang Zeyue.

Just that night.

Wei Shenzhi never understood that she devoted her entire life to the Wei family, and even used her own spiritual power to build the Nine Palaces and Bagua Formation, separating the Wei family's ancestral house from the long river of time forever. .No matter how the outside world changes, skyscrapers rise from the ground, towering buildings block the sunlight in the sky, and this place has always maintained the appearance of the Republic of China 23.

But she walked so resolutely, as if what she left was not the family business she worked so hard for, but the cage that imprisoned her for the rest of her life.

Later, Wei Shenzhi thought, maybe she wanted to leave a long time ago.

However, considering Jiang Zeyue's situation, she had no choice but to stay here.

........................

After Wei Siyun left, Wei Shenzhi stayed in the Wei family's ancestral house for a long time, looking at the old black and white photo in his room every day.The grandmother was so beautiful when she was young, even though the photo has been washed yellow by time, her face is still intact.She held Wei Xichao in her arms, and Lu Ran stood beside her.It's just that Lu Ran's expression has become more and more blurred, and his appearance can no longer be distinguished.

Edgar couldn't bear to watch him look at the old photos alone every day.Finally one day, when Wei Shenzhi was fascinated by the photos, he snatched them away and stuffed them into the drawer angrily!

In contrast, Wei Shenzhi's expression was very calm.He didn't snatch the photo, just sat on the recliner, letting the sun pour down through the window and hit his face.He looked at Edgar quietly: “I thought you would tear it up.”

Edgar looked unhappy: "Of course I won't, although I really want to."

"What to do, I can't make up my mind to tear it up." Wei Shenzhi said, "However, I always feel that the bond between Miss Jiang Ze and grandma may be deeper than that of my grandfather."

Edgar was a little surprised: "Have you been thinking about this these days?"

"That's right." Wei Shenzhi smiled quietly, "However, it's good to keep this photo. After all, this is a thought my grandma left for me."

As he spoke, he pulled out the photo and carefully put it into the pocket of his gown.His slender fingers caressed the hilt of the long sword, and Wei Shenzhi smiled with emotion: "I never thought that one day, I would be dressed like this."

"Then have you ever thought about being stalked by a vampire one day?"

"Of course not." Wei Shenzhi stretched out his hand and touched his face, "Take the Zhu Zizheng, let's go."

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Well, all right."

"Not saying goodbye to Jingjing and the others?"

"No need." Wei Shenzhi said, "I will leave them eventually. If that's the case, let them gradually... forget about me."
