Chapter 271 Ghost Night Walk
All the demons gathered on the Yingxiang Mountain, toasting each other. At the final moment of revelry, Kitsaigong said, "Since we are having so much fun, why don't we go to the sky for a tour and have a night parade of one hundred demons?"
"It's a good idea, but it's not an easy task to make all the monsters fly." Sasayuri held a wine glass in one hand and stared at the white-haired fox who used his people as flying vehicles to avoid being conscripted.
"Simple, of course it's simple. Don't we still have Tai Shang Yu?" Hu Zhaigong turned his head and looked at the man in black clothes who was sitting upright. His half-drunk eyes were hazy, and his smile was full of charm.
Mo Ran's expression remained unchanged. When outsiders were present, he would still give some face to the fox. So, he waved his hand and set up a floating formation, allowing the little demons who were not strong enough to fly to have enough fun.
"Thank you, Lord Taisho!" After standing up, Kitsusai Palace bowed and walked slowly to the center of the banquet. With a turn of her jade hand, she summoned the imperial coins out of thin air.
If it were placed in the neighboring country Liyue, this kind of thing would be called a banner after some modification, and would generally be black in color. However, Inazuma's side uses white cloth because they believe that the holy color can better enable the priestess to guide power and perform magic.
I saw Hu Zhaigong dancing in the center with the imperial coin in one hand. His dance was not stunning, nor was it unique enough to catch a glimpse of beauty. It was just a dance that he performed casually while being drunk.
The sleepy Yaeko, who was lying on the shoulder of a man in black, couldn't take his eyes off the dance after seeing it.
During the dance, the fox palace chanted a spell: "By confession, the soul-calming white, please allow me to pray and lead the lantern back home. I fear the power of the gods and feel extremely terrified."
With the instigation of Kitsusai Palace, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons reached an unprecedented scale. All the monsters were flying in the sky, strange lights were appearing, and the scene was weird and terrifying.
The Eightfold Son of God, who was lying on the shoulder of a man dressed in black, stretched out his two front paws to applaud, and his tail was wagging behind him, looking extremely happy.
"Hahaha, Son of God, stop standing here and watching. We can't let other monsters steal the limelight!" You Lezhai grabbed the pink-haired fox, jumped high into the sky, and somersaulted around there.
Tengu Sasa Yuri and the demon girl Miyu Chiyo, one demon holds a bow, showing Tengu archery skills, and the other demon dances with a sword. There is tenderness in their firmness, and the two are well-combined, which is pleasing to the eye.
In the Naruto-no-Murakami Shrine, Mo Ran sat alone, raising his cup to the bright moon. He drank without getting drunk. The grand and noisy scene in the sky seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Come to think of it, after he came to Inazuma, what was his purpose and did he ever make any sacrifices?
Cultivating two thunder gods seemed to be just a whim, but later they became close family members and were inseparable.
Everything he had experienced along the way seemed to be far from his original intention. After surviving to the present world in Liyue, he thought he could go back, but he was expressly forbidden to do so.
So after this Inazuma trip, can we go back, or will there be another stop, and another, and when will it end? This seems to be an unknown.
He didn't blame the system, because it was impossible to get power without paying a price, but he wanted to know why it restricted himself and then seemed to let go in the end.
"What are you thinking about? You look so sad!" Hu Zhaigong came to sit next to him with a pot of wine in his hand, his fox ears wagging wantonly.
"Nothing, just feeling sentimental about the present moment." Mo Ran held his chin with one hand and yawned deeply.
Kitsaigong twisted his waist and lay on the ground, staring at the man in black with his sparse eyes, and asked, "Why don't you go play together?"
"This is your Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. Why should I get involved?" Mo Ran waved his hand, his eyes half closed.
"What's ours and what's yours?" Hu Zhaigong picked up the half-man-high wine pot and drank it all in one gulp. He waved his arm and said firmly, "I'm hosting a banquet, and you are not allowed to come with excitement and leave disappointed..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huzai Palace lay straight on the ground, with a strong smell of alcohol on her body, enough to cover the evil spirit. God knows how much she had drunk.
Mo Ran glanced at the white-haired fox, raised his hand and used a wind element to send her back to her room. He seemed to be complaining about the Fox Palace, but also said in a strange way: "If you can't drink, don't drink. In the end, the people around you will be in trouble!"
The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons lasted until the early morning. When the monsters returned to Yingxiang Mountain, Mo Ran had already left.
As for where to go, the world is big and there are many places to go, but he is a home-loving person. When it gets late, he wants to go home and stay in his room to take a nap.
In the castle tower, Mo Ran's room was dark, and because it was very late, there was no need to turn on the lights.
Walking to the bed, Mo Ran looked down at the open quilt and said, "Get up."
"Well, brother is back. It's so late!" Lei Dianying rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking like he was still sleepy.
"What is my brother going to do?" Lei Dianying pretended not to know and held the quilt tightly with both hands, as if there was a secret in it that could not be told.
"Do I need to tell you what to do?" Mo Ran turned his head to look at the door, then looked at Lei Dianying who was lying on the bed with a pitiful look on his face. His meaning was obvious.
Lei Dianying seemed to understand and said slowly, "Brother doesn't even close the door when he enters the room. He is so open. But Ying doesn't think it's okay. Can brother help Ying close the door?"
"Do you want me to do it and throw it out for you?" Mo Ran raised his eyebrows, put his hands in his sleeves, and waited for the next step.
"Don't!" Lei Dianying shouted loudly, and then quickly said in a muffled voice: "Brother, don't be so heartless~ I have never slept with you since I was born in the film industry. Let's sleep together tonight, okay!"
Mo Ran took a few steps back and sat down on the spot, with an expression that said, "Either you get out or I sleep on the floor tonight."
"Oh, brother, get up quickly. The cold ground is not good for your health. If anything happens, Ying is afraid that sister will blame Ying again, and then Ying will have no choice but to come to see brother every night!" Lei Dianying felt more and more pitiful as he spoke, and he even used the hand that had just wiped his mouth to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Mo Ran sighed and rubbed his temples. His spirit of decline was instantly shattered by Lei Dianying's disturbance.
"You should just tell me what's going on. A demon god who is almost two thousand years old should stop imitating the plots in light novels."
Lei Dianying stuck out his tongue, and returned to his normal tone, saying: "We are all demon gods, so why do we care about age, hehehe."
The purple-haired girl threw back the quilt and ran off the bed. She was indeed dressed perfectly, with all the accessories on her purple dress intact. There was no trace of the delicate look she had just put on.
Kneeling with his legs together, Lei Dianying looked at the man in black clothes beside him. After studying him for a while, his nose twitched slightly, and he asked in surprise: "Brother, have you been drinking?"
"I drank, what's wrong?" Mo Ran asked puzzledly. It's not like he had drunk alcohol before, so why was there such a fuss?
Lei Dianying smiled and said, "I am worried about you. If something happens to your brother outside, such as falling or getting hurt, your sister and I will be very worried!"
"Am I your brother or your son? Why are you worried so much?" Mo Ran said this but he was laughing in his heart. It is better to have someone care about you than no one at all.
Lei Dianying grinned, revealing two small fangs. Although her body was no longer that of a girl, her thinking and style seemed to have not changed.
"It's because my brother always leaves without saying goodbye. I'm preparing for a rainy day to prevent it from happening again in the future."
"It's just once, right? How can it be called love all the time?"
"Once there is a chance of a second time, after this time, my brother will definitely not behave himself, so we need to be on guard closely!"
"Yes, yes, what the general said is correct."
“It feels so perfunctory.”
"Then what else can I say?"
"Ahem, I am extremely grateful to you, General, who is both intelligent and beautiful, and has unparalleled strength and both moral integrity. You are one in a million in the world. Your teachings are like a divine touch to my head, which has opened my eyes..."
Lei's vivid interpretation of the film made him look like a person whose body and mind were manipulated. He said many words against his will. His look and tone of worship were like those of a person who truly worships himself.
"After talking for so long, Ying, aren't you going to get down to business?" Mo Ran interrupted.
"That's not important. It's just that the book says that most of the things people say before going to sleep are the most sincere, so I wanted to ask, what do you think eternity is like?"
"In my eyes... eternity?" Mo Ran held his chin with both hands and smiled, "I didn't expect Ying to think about such profound things. It's really rare."
"I also studied hard, but it's not as easy to see as my sister's." Lei Dianying's pink fist landed lightly on the arm of the man in black, with an expression on his face as if he wanted to bite someone.
Mo Ran smiled and said, "As for eternity, I think that passing it down from generation to generation and keeping the flame burning forever is eternity."
"But won't things change like this?" Lei Dianying's idea of eternity is to keep time at a certain moment forever.
The desire for this eternal idea was particularly strong in the more than a thousand years after Mo Ran's departure. Especially when he traveled to the other six countries and found no trace of him, the desire was so strong that this was the only thought left in his mind.
However, after Mo Ran came back, her obsession with this idea decreased a lot, and she also wanted to open her heart and ask others about their opinions on eternity.
Mo Ran was the last person she asked, and Lei Dian was the first person she asked. The changes in these hundred years were indeed significant, but they were also similar. For example, the two answers spanning a hundred years were almost the same.
Lei Yingdian murmured to himself, "My sister believes that eternity is driven by wishes. When a wish is fulfilled, a new wish will be born, and it will reach an eternity endlessly."
"My brother believes in the inheritance of human generations. Why is the eternity in my heart different?"
Mo Ran explained slowly: "In this world, no material existence can achieve true eternity, but spiritual thoughts are different, they can exist forever."
"The original people of Inazuma are not the same as the people now, but they have the same blood and the same heart to build their homeland and support their motherland. Isn't that the same?"
"Of course, Ying doesn't need to change anything because of this. Every living being is an independent individual with different thoughts. As long as this thought does not harm other people, there is no problem!"
Lei Dianying was slightly surprised, his eyes shining, as if he had successfully grasped something, and he said to himself: "Yes, eternity is not unchanging. It is not because of all this that eternity is needed, but because of the existence of eternity, all this exists."
"I understand, I understand!"
