Chapter 27 Section five

"It's right there." Ru Shui stopped and stretched his fingers forward. "Wow..." Boya standing beside Rushui couldn't help crying out. That is a beautiful cherry tree. Two tall cherry tree trees are full of cherry blossoms.The branches seem to be unable to bear the dense cherry blossoms and droop.Even though there was no wind, the petals kept falling from the branches. All around seems to be only the place under the cherry blossom trees, where the clear air is frozen. Under the two cherry trees, there is a small thatched cottage. The three of them walked forward slowly, and soon, an old lady walked out quietly from the thatched cottage.

She was wearing a gorgeous silk singlet, the hem of which was rustling on the ground. The three stopped, and the old woman also stopped. Qingming took two steps forward before stopping, and the old woman knelt down on the spot as if welcoming her guests. Elderly woman with makeup on her face.His cheeks were painted with white powder, and his lips were painted with vermilion. Under the cherry blossoms, Seimei faced the old woman. "Are you Mr. Abe Seimei..." the old woman said quietly. "What's your name?" "That was a hundred years ago. There is such a waka in "Ancient and Modern Waka Collection"...'The spring rain and cherry blossoms fade, and the face is no longer worried'... The author of this waka is me."

"So, you are the one..." "There once was a girl named Ono Komachi, and the face of that girl a hundred years later was exactly me." "Why does Komachi-sama appear in such a place?" "After a hundred years, Komachi died under these two cherry trees..." "Why does Komachi-sama's soul reside in this world?" "I still can't close my eyes and become a Buddha..." "Why can't I close my eyes and become a Buddha?" "Women, you are really sinful and shameless, please laugh at me..." The old woman Komachi stood up slowly, and sang in a low voice while getting up from her side:

Komachi sang and sang, raised her little hand, and began to sing and dance slowly. From her little hand, the petals of the cherry blossoms fluttered around silently. "I'm like duckweed floating on the water. Woohoo, my hair used to be as bright and charming as a kingfisher, like willow silk swaying in the wind. My voice is like the melodious song of a yellow warbler..." "Sigh, I was too arrogant in the past, but because of this, I am even more beautiful, and I have won the hearts of many men..." The old woman Komachi danced, and the wrinkles on her face disappeared, turning into a young and beautiful girl.

I got taller... My waist is also straight... Cherry blossom petals fell on her body soundlessly. "I also made a promise to a high-ranking official with my body, reciting poems all day long, and living a very comfortable life. However, that was only for a while..." Komachi stopped dancing. "Alas, the clouds are changeable. The human heart is like the wings of a butterfly fluttering in the wind. It changes color anytime, anywhere and momentarily. How can youth and beauty stay alone forever? Everyone will grow old, and of course I will lose my beauty , while losing their beauty, men will also leave by themselves. Alas, for women, what else in this world is more sad than any man's disdain..."

Komachi's face slowly changed back to that of an old woman. The petals are still falling continuously on her face and white hair. "And as long as I live older, unconsciously, even some lowly women in the world will despise me and call me sloppy. Not only do I make a fool of myself in front of everyone, but I also make people laugh and say, 'That's the old Ono Komachi' .One day after another like this, I am also old, reduced to a hundred-year-old woman, and finally died here. This is exactly who I am.” "..." "Once again, once again, let everyone applaud my beauty and praise that I am worthy of being Komachi. Even if it is just a one-night dream, I want to lose my soul in the arms of a man again. It is this kind of desire that prevents me from becoming a Buddha. ah."

Speaking of this, Komachi suddenly changed color, looking up at the sky.Her appearance had changed. "Wahhahaha!" Komachi laughed in a male voice. "Oh, oh, oh oh! Komachi, oh, oh, my love, what are you talking about? What are you kidding? Am I not by your side? Let me seduce you. I will Suck your dry tits!" Komachi shook his head from side to side. Wow! Wow! The long hair also flicked back and forth, whipping Komachi's cheeks. "Let me tempt you! A hundred years, no, a thousand years, no, ten thousand years, whether you pass away or reincarnated, I will praise your wrinkled face in the future. I will also suck your A mouth with three yellow teeth left. I will not abandon you, I will never abandon you..."

Komachi, who made a male voice, clenched his few remaining teeth tightly. "Who are you?" Seimei asked the other party, Komachi still replied in a male voice: "You don't know me? I am the man who courted Komachi for ninety-nine nights, but died of lovesickness on the hundredth night. I am known as Major General Fukakusa..." "Ninety-nine nights?" "You do not know?" "have no idea……" "I fell in love with this woman and once sent her a love letter. But no matter how many love letters I sent, I never got a response. Although there are many men who are infatuated with Komachi, no one can compare to me, the fourth-rank major general in Fukakusa, who loves Komachi. Affectionately paid."

"..." "No, there was only one time when I received a teasing response from Komachi, asking me to woo her for a hundred nights. She said that as long as I go to her place to woo her every night, rain or shine, on the hundredth night, I will be willing to give my body. I I courted for ninety-nine nights as promised, but unexpectedly died on the hundredth night. It is a lifelong regret. It is this kind of resentment that makes me unable to rest in peace, so I possessed this Komachi." "This man possessed me, causing me to lose my safe place to live..." "Yes, since that's the case, I swear that I will turn into a vexed dog and possess this woman. Even if I beat her with a stick, I will never leave."

"What a miserable gesture!" Komachi uttered male and female voices alternately, and danced slowly again. crazy. The eyes of the old woman Komachi have lost their reason.Although crazy, but still singing and dancing. The cherry blossom tree swayed loudly, and the petals were flying all over the sky. Komachi dances among the cherry blossom petals. "Qingming..." Boya opened his mouth, but Qingming remained silent. "It was I who possessed this woman and killed her. After killing her, I will never leave her..." "you are lying." "What did I lie about?"

"Who said that as long as I continue to offer branches and husks to the small temple, if someone who can solve the riddle of the branches appears one day, you will leave me." "I said." "Then why don't you leave?" "How is it possible to leave? I know you love that monk, who wants to leave this rotten woman? I plan to be infatuated with you to the end, thousands of years, ten thousand years, forever and ever. Komachi, no matter what happens in this world, your beauty will be lost , my deep affection for you remains unchanged. Ah, I am trying my best to love you! I love you, a rotten woman..." "ungrateful!" "Wa hahaha!" "ungrateful!" "Wahhahaha! It's so fun, Komachi..." Tears welled up in the old woman's eyes.I don't know if it's the man's or the woman's tears. Cherry blossoms boomed in the sky. The petals of the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky swirled fiercely, and Komachi was dancing under the petals. Dance and cry. Komachi's forehead made a pop, pop sound, and the curved rhino horn broke through the forehead flesh and protruded. "Hehehehe..." "Wa hahaha……" The laughter of the two resounded in the petals. The cherry blossoms boomed. "Qingming!" Boya yelled, with tears streaming down his eyes. "Seimei! What's wrong with you? Why? Why are you standing by..." Seimei remained silent. The female ghost laughs and dances wildly among the cherry blossom petals flying in the sky. "Qingming!" Boya wailed, "What's wrong with you? With your strength, can't you help her..." Qingming looked at the wildly dancing female ghost and slowly shook her head. "I can't help..." "You can't help..." "It can't be saved." Qingming said, "Not only I can't save them, but anyone else can't save these two people." "why?" "It can't be saved, Boya..." Qingming's voice seemed to be full of deep love. "Qingming, I..." "Bo Ya, I'm sorry, I also have times when I'm at a loss." Seimei replied as if he was biting a fire between his teeth. Under the vortex of cherry blossom petals flying all over the sky, nothing can be seen. I can only feel that the female ghost is still dancing.
