Chapter 81 The Cliff
Chapter 81 The Cliff
Ibaraki's injury gradually healed, and so did Jiuten. When Ibaraki was recovering from his injury, Jiuten often came to visit him, but the content of the two ghosts' conversations only involved the passage of time, everything about Dajiangshan.Never mentioning Hongye and the future, so the atmosphere between the two ghosts gradually became less awkward.
Every time Jiu Tun came to visit him, he would bring wine with him.The two drank while looking back at the past.He looked at Ibaraki's face, listened to Ibaraki's words, but inexplicably recalled the meaning of an old couple, and then realized how terrible this thought was, and drove it out of his mind.
After that, Ibaraki finally recovered from his injury.The first thing he did after recovering from his injury was to look at Shuten with his red eyes, which were full of fighting spirit.
Jiu Tun laughed: "So you still want to fight with me to determine your final intention?" This time he did not shirk, and the two made an appointment to have their first battle after recovering from the injury next to the cliff of Dajiang Mountain.
The sound of the wind is hunting, Jiu Tun's red hair is like blood, standing on the cliff full of gravel and wind and sand.Ibaraki arrived as promised.The red gold eyes meet the blood red, and the battle is imminent.
The purple waves of Hellfire erupted, and the red wine shot out. Both sides tried their best and spared no effort.Even in the end, I forgot why I had to fight so desperately in the first place.
I don't remember the specific scene of the battle anymore, I only remember that the weapon was sacrificed, the blood and killing intent spurted out together, and in the end the body was covered with deep bone openings, and the smell of blood spread in the air.It began to rain in the sky, and the raindrops neutralized the color of the blood, flowing on the ground, entangled into marble-like patterns.
Jiu Tun sacrificed the divine wine in the rain, and the liquid shot out has become a sharp weapon for killing ghosts.In the rain and fog, the details of Ibaraki's face and body could no longer be seen clearly, and the hazy moisture spread up, but out of fighting instinct, he could keenly capture every movement of Ibaraki, according to the understanding of him from hundreds of years of fighting , to guess the possibility of his next move.
When Ibaraki fights, he never does too many fancy moves, he is always fast, ruthless, steady, and accurate, pursuing one-shot kills, with an almost substantive killing intent covering his body, keeping away from strangers and dead spirits disturb.That murderous intent deprived him of his original characteristics. When Shuten thought of him, his thoughts would involuntarily spread.
Even so, such Ibaraki is very charming.
During the battle, he habitually narrowed his red-gold eyes slightly, and the red-gold pupils shrank under the white of the black eyes. Sometimes when Shuten thinks of that little action, he thinks of a creature called a cat raised by humans.Under the sun, they would also constrict their pupils like that, swimming with a fighting spirit, wanting to get closer and caress but fully aware of the danger of the other party.
Dangerous yet charming.
Ibaraki's sharp ghost hand cut over, Shuten sideways avoided, and guessed his next move.Ibaraki's eyes narrowed slightly again, Jiu Tun jumped up and slashed down.Ibaraki accepted it with one arm, blood spurted out of his mouth.
Jiu Tun grabbed his throat, looked at him full of killing intent, narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that this Ibaraki really wanted to kill him?Just for a moment, Ibaraki turned against the guest and broke free from the shackles to kill Jiuten, but Jiuten dodged it, but Ibaraki almost desperately exerted his strength on this opportunity and fell off the edge of the cliff.
Without hesitation, Jiu Tun also jumped down.
The effect of gravity caused the two to land rapidly, but in the wind, they felt like flying again.
Ibaraki looked at Shuten who jumped down, smiled slightly, and coughed up a big mouthful of blood.
The rain is still lingering and gentle.
Some sense of familiarity, some pictures, some fantasies of the last millennium, some things that have happened before, quickly flashed through my mind.
This has happened several times, hasn't it?
We've fought like this several times, haven't we?
Every time I fall off a cliff, you follow, don't you?
Ibaraki, I chase you, you chase the wind, and the wind flies.
If killing each other is our fate, then I am willing to endure this fate forever.
After that battle, Ibaraki fell asleep for a long time and did not wake up for seven days.Jiu Tun went to sniff every day, and when he got the evidence that he was still alive, a huge stone fell from his heart, but another huge stone was lifted.
When will you wake up?
After waking up, when you fell off the cliff, what images flashed through your mind?
From dawn to dusk, from dusk to night, all the mysteries are entangled in my mind, like a ball of wool under a cat's paw, never clear.
Only in this kind of time can I hold Ibaraki's remaining left hand without psychological burden, without having to meet his surprised eyes and puzzled expression.Hold, just hold.The skin-to-skin touch, temperature, and slightly spreading heat quietly spread along the subcutaneous tissue, flow in blood vessels, pass through muscles, bones, and all barriers, like a distant journey, and finally spread to the heart.
It was something Ibaraki would never do to him when he was sober, to put his other hand on Ibaraki's chest.The room was extremely quiet, and Ibaraki's heartbeat could be heard along the palm of his hand.
If the body of every monster or ghost is a world, with the endless years as the background, the heart is the lonely back in the world.Heart and hand, hand and heart, the sound of beating, close your eyes, you can feel the meaning of each other's existence.
Shuten lowered his head, closed his eyes and touched his forehead to Ibaraki's. The slightly cold touch was like an electric current, piercing through the soul rapidly.
A long time ago, were we the same?
You lie here, I hold your hand and listen to the sound of your life and heartbeat.Can you feel me in your sleep, can you also... as I do, with the same feelings?
Ibaraki...
On the seventh day, the sun shone through the panes, casting shadows seriously on the ground one by one with regularity, and Ibaraki finally woke up.As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Jiu Tun who was guarding by the bed, his chin resting on his right hand, his eyes were gently closed, like a dream but not a dream.
For seven days, he kept dreaming, dreaming about things that happened in the past few thousand years, and recalling all the endings of the past... But even so, he must fight Jiu Tun for the final battle, in the ring of the upcoming ghost king election superior.
"My friend Shuten, I have to tell you something." Ibaraki said, piercing the brief silence.
Shuten opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at Ibaraki, the joy in his eyes was more than surprise.
"Ibaraki, I also have something to ask you." Jiu Tun said, "When we fell off the cliff, we all felt images of something that happened in the past. I don't think it's a coincidence, let alone a hallucination. How did it happen? I always feel that you should know better, and your deep sleep this time is too long..."
It is true that Ibaraki was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, but sleeping for seven days was too unusual.
"My friend, what I want to tell you is exactly this. I saw the past in my sleep. I don't know if my friend has heard of the reincarnation formation. Like the created formation, the world is also in reincarnation. We have been fighting because of this, and only when my friend kills me can the world get out of reincarnation." Ibaraki said, and then he explained the ins and outs of the whole thing to Jiu Tun in detail, Jiu Tun didn't believe it at first, but then As Ibaraki cites more and more facts, he has no choice but to believe them.
"You mean, if I want to break the cycle, I can only kill you in the end?" Jiu Tun said.
"Yes, my friend."
"What if killing itself is part of reincarnation?"
Ibaraki's expression was slightly startled, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Shuten had never seen such a smile from him before.
"Then... let's kill it." Ibaraki said, looking at Shuten with red eyes.
What I remember, I can also feel, the touch of foreheads against each other, and the sound of each other's hearts beating.
