But unfortunately, Nanxing rejected her.
"I can't drink today."
Nanxing touched Ibuki Suika's head and comforted her softly.
He was in a hurry to get on the road.
It is important to complete the tasks from the young rich woman, but the truly important thing is to find medicine that can heal Kikyo's soul injuries.
Nanxing was afraid that something might happen if he delayed, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment.
……
After a while.
The flame went out.
The originally beautiful girl also disappeared.
Only ashes were left on the ground as proof of the girl's existence.
Looking at the ashes, Nanxing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
——He didn't kill the girl, but the girl died because of him.
In any case, he felt bad.
"Oh, just die."
"But don't become a vengeful ghost."
"You must go to the underworld in a good way and be reborn into a good family."
"When the time comes, just report Kikyo's name, and the people below won't make things difficult for you."
Nanxing said goodbye to the girl with a serious face.
Before leaving, he used Wood Release to make a coffin for her and put her ashes in it.
He also used earth tunnel to build a tomb. There was no name on the long tombstone, only two big characters:
"Chastity."
She is truly chaste.
After seeing this girl again, Nanxing realized that those chaste women in ancient times who died for their chastity were not empty talk.
“It’s really a pity.”
At the very end, Nanxing sighed softly.
A young girl in her prime died just like that.
Not even a single piece of information was left.
I don’t know how anxious her family will be when they can’t find her?
"Ugh."
Nanxing let out a light breath, letting go of the turbidity and melancholy in his heart.
He's not one to dwell on the past.
Since the tragedy has already happened, he won't dwell on it too much.
"gone."
He turned and faced the rising sun.
The bright sunshine shone on him, bringing him new hope.
Just...wait a minute.
Nanxing, who was just about to move forward, suddenly froze.
Because he saw something extremely discordant:
Who is that girl standing in the sunshine?
Her face, and that naked, flat body... Why did he feel like he had seen them somewhere before?
And those red eyes and long white hair...
"???"
Confused Nanxing looked up at the girl, not daring to even blink.
And when the girl walked slowly towards him with her heavy shoulders, his heart was in his throat.
A terrifying thought arose in Nanxing's mind:
"She is……"
"ghost?"
……
The girl walked slowly towards Nanxing.
But she did not stop in front of him as Nanxing expected.
Instead, she came to her own grave and stared at the two big words on the tombstone with her beautiful red eyes.
"Chastity."
She suddenly smiled.
It was a mocking laugh with no kindness at all.
It was as if I had seen some huge joke.
"You are worthy of being called a chaste hero?"
She pointed at the grave in front of her and cursed mercilessly.
Her voice was very loud and her saliva was flying everywhere. If you didn't know, you might think she was cursing her mortal enemy.
But Nanxing became even more confused.
"She's scolding...herself?"
Hey!
This is really like a knife cutting your butt - it really opens your eyes.
There was more to Nanxing's mind:
"You...you...wu..."
The girl, who had just been pointing at the tombstone and cursing, suddenly hugged the tombstone and started crying.
She cried so emotionally, as if she was crying for her loved ones.
But... isn't the person buried inside you yourself?
Cry at your own grave?
"Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more of them."
Nanxing thought silently in his heart.
But on the surface, nothing moved.
He was like a wooden man, silently observing everything in front of him and trying to analyze the mental journey of the girl in front of him.
And finally, five minutes later.
Maybe I was tired of crying, or maybe I had run out of tears.
The girl no longer cried or laughed.
She stood up from the ground and placed her right hand on the tombstone.
"boom."
A burst of energy.
The blazing flames burned the stone tablet.
In a short while, the two eye-catching characters were burned into a blur.
And after that, she bit one of her fingers.
With deep red blood, he wrote a name on the black stone tablet that had been burned by the flames:
"Fujiwara...Mehong?"
Chapter 37 Cursed Fire, Fujiwara no Moko
Fujiwara no Momoko.
This was a name Nanxing had never heard of.
But he could feel the value of this name.
——The key point is the surname [Fujiwara].
You know, in ancient Japan, ordinary people were not qualified to have surnames.
For example, Platycodon, for example, Maple.
They only have a first name, no last name.
In this era, only the truly dignitaries and royal relatives are qualified to have a surname.
Among these dignitaries and royal relatives, four families are the most prominent:
Fujiwara clan, Genji clan, Taira clan, and Tachibana clan.
People call it "Fujiwara no Hiratachi".
The great figures from these four families have been in power since the Asuka period, which is more than a thousand years ago.
The Fujiwara clan was ranked first among the four great nobles. During their heyday, they used their relatives to interfere in government affairs and did whatever they wanted. They had two queens and four daughters and three concubines. The Crown Princess was established, and the young emperor lived in her house. The positions of regent, chancellor, prime minister, and left and right ministers were all monopolized by the Fujiwara clan.
At that time, the Fujiwara clan had the final say in Japan.
Later, the Fujiwara clan declined, and the Genji and Hei clans rose to power, ushering in the shogunate era.
In order to follow the trend, the Fujiwara family also split into the Konoe, Matsudono and Kujo families, which were later further divided into the Konoe, Takasuka, Kujo, Nijo and Ichijo families, collectively known as the "Five Regent Families".
From then on, except in official documents, the members of the branch families no longer referred to themselves as "Fujiwara", but only used their family names and surnames.
Therefore, in this era, it is basically impossible to find members of the Fujiwara clan.
"But this girl is!"
"What is her identity?"
"The legitimate daughter of the Fujiwara clan?"
"No wonder she is so chaste. She would self-immolate if someone looked at her body."
"It's just that this mouth is a bit too poisonous."
Nanxing looked at the girl who called herself "Fujiwara no Mokou" and imagined in his mind a feudal dynasty ethical drama of "a family that has been secluded for a thousand years, the eldest daughter of the family is stranded outside and can't even afford clothes to wear."
And it was at this time:
"Hey you."
Fujiwara no Mokou, who had just finished crying at his grave, suddenly came to his side.
He was on high alert, thinking that this strange girl was going to attack him again.
However, what Nanxing never expected was.
This time, Fujiwara Mohong was also naked. But she was no longer angry because her body was seen by Nanxing:
"Thank you."
She reached out her hand, pulled up two strands of hair, and used her waist-length hair to cover the parts that she was more concerned about.
Then, he showed a very reluctant, but truly heartfelt, grateful smile to Nanxing:
"Although I really want to kill you now."
"But you are a good man."
