I, enter the zero world, change the ending

Even the simplest-looking talismans needed to be charged with spirit stones for at least half a month beforehand. The rest, such as arrows, lanterns, exorcism coins, etc., required even more complicated and lengthy processes.

When the page turned to the last page, Shuiyun sighed with regret.

"That's it, Mr. Sikong."

She was very pleased and satisfied to see Zhiyao so anxious because of her.

"How can we just leave it like this!" Zhiyao gritted her teeth, anxiously, "Think of another way!"

"Isn't there no solution?"

"Since there isn't one, then..." Zhiyao subconsciously glanced towards the door and lowered her voice, "Let's run away now. There are no guards on the mountain, so we can easily escape."

After Zhiyao finished speaking, he began to put on his clothes. When he had packed all his belongings and was about to leave, Shuiyun dodged his outstretched hand.

"Escaped, and then what?"

"Then you don't have to die and can escape from this damn place completely." Zhiyao was confused.

"But I have nowhere to go outside the mountains."

"Why not? Don't you have parents and a sister?"

"In my heart, they have long been dead. After I turned six, this place became my only home." Shui Yun looked at Zhi Yao with burning eyes and paused. "Mr. Sikong, if I leave with you, will you be willing to take me with you from now on?"

There was no need to ask about this kind of thing. Zhiyao answered as a matter of course: "Of course I'll take you with me."

"Will you marry me in the future?"

Zhiyao opened her mouth, unsure how to respond. Seeing this, Shuiyun changed the question: "Are you willing to stay in this time and space forever?"

Zhiyao still didn't reply, so Shuiyun asked the third question: "If you go back, can you take me with you?"

The answers to the first two were unwillingness, and the answer to the second one was that he was not sure. After a short silence, Zhiyao silently looked away.

Then, Shui Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, I'd better stay."

"If you stay, you will..."

Shui Yun pressed his lips. "This is the fate of the Crow Priestess. Besides, if I really run away like this, how can I be worthy of those predecessors who have dedicated their lives to this world? I'm afraid I will live with guilt for the rest of my life."

This is indeed quite selfish. Zhiyao was speechless. Selfishly, he hoped that Shuiyun would be alive, but he did not have the ability to give an explanation to the previous and future witches.

Shui Yun: "If... I mean if, if I can't go back in the future... Mr. Sikong, are you willing to come back and sign a soul contract with me?"

The answer is of course no, Zhiyao turned her eyes away.

Shui Yun had expected this and smiled: "That's right. We've only known each other for two days. If it were me, I wouldn't agree to it either."

"Shui Yun, I have to go back no matter what."

"I know, I know. Then please fulfill my other wish." After saying that, Shuiyun opened her clothes, and Zhiyao couldn't help but be stunned.

When the clothes were pulled down to his chest, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly stopped it.

"Don't!"

"What's wrong? You don't need to be responsible." Shui Yun was puzzled. "I just want to give the most precious thing to the person I love at the end of my life. Or do you think this is indecent and hate me?"

Zhiyao turned away in embarrassment: "Of course not, because..."

Because I will have to go back later, and Shuiyun will have to stay here and suffer. I have experienced what it feels like to have my body contaminated by Yequan, so I can't leave with peace of mind after finishing the job, leaving Shuiyun to suffer alone.

This is very unfair. We should be true to our conscience.

The idea was transmitted to Shuiyun's mind through touch and sight. Immediately, Shuiyun stared at Zhiyao thoughtfully. After a moment, she put her clothes back on. Her tone was relieved but also regretful: "Mr. Sikong, you are so gentle. I think I didn't like the wrong person."

Zhiyao touched her hair embarrassedly.

There was silence for a moment.

Shui Yun: "Can I stay here tonight? I want to be with you for the rest of the time."

Zhiyao: "Okay, I won't sleep tonight."

Shui Yun: "There's no need to do this. Just sleep when you're tired."

Zhiyao: "No, I'll accompany you for the rest of the time."

They sat down against the wall one after another. Shuiyun snuggled into Zhiyao's arms and closed her eyes to look at him. After a long time, she finally knew everything about Zhiyao.

Unconsciously, the sky turned from pitch black to azure blue. Shuiyun noticed this through the dark window, took Zhiyao's hand, and stood up first.

"Come on, go somewhere with me."

The two of them came all the way to the Abyss of Qi, the place where they first met.

At this moment, the sky has changed from azure to light blue.

"The sun will be coming out soon." Shui Yun pointed to the distant skyline. "When I was in charge of the late night shift, I would come here every morning to watch the sunrise."

As soon as he finished speaking, the morning sun rose in the distance. Zhiyao glanced at the girl and saw that her eyes were full of longing.

Soon, the sun rose completely, and the wish to watch the sunrise was fulfilled. Shuiyun took Zhiyao's hand again.

"Okay, let's go."

Now we are going to the Palace of Ghost.

When passing by the Katashiro Shrine, Shuiyun stopped and looked at the building with reluctance, which had been there since the day she came here.

She had passed by here countless times over the years, and now was the last time.

Walking along the backyard all the way to the main gate of the Youzhi Palace, Shui Yun pushed the door open and saw that all the priestesses were in the main hall. Not only did the priestesses in charge of the second half of the night not go to bed, but even the young priestesses got up early.

"Shui Yun." The witch from the Abyss of Xi last night came in front of her.

"What are you..."

"Isn't it customary to come and see you off?"

"That's right." Shui Yun smiled.

"You are not the last one. We will come to see you one after another in the future." Another witch came over, and then the other witches began to gather here.

Zhiyao looked at Shuiyun's colleagues and thought to herself that she was not alone, and then she smiled with relief.

Suddenly, sobbing sounds were heard from the crowd, and then sadness spread among the crowd like an unstoppable plague. The sobbing sounds came one after another. Zhiyao felt depressed when she heard it. She turned her back and bit her lower lip, trying her best to control her emotions.

The crying gradually stopped only when two priests arrived.

"Go change your clothes, Shuiyun," Yume said.

The two followed Jie Nu to the dressing room, and Zhi Yao waited outside. Not long after, when Shui Yun came out, Zhi Yao saw that she was wearing a white wedding gown.

Now she looks more beautiful than ever.

"The painter has arrived." said Ms. Kuang.

When she heard the painter, Zhiyao thought of the portraits of the shrine maidens at the entrance of the house where she had made her connection.

He really wanted to ask if there were no cameras, but then he thought that maybe cameras were not yet popular, at least not in such a rural area. The real use of cameras here would probably have to wait until Kunihiko Aso grew up and returned from studying abroad.

While I was thinking about these things, a strong voice came to my ears.

"Master Sikong, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Zhiyao looked closely and saw that it was an elderly man with white hair.

"Do you know me?" Zhiyao was confused and looked at the old man carefully.

"My name is Ken Akasaka, and I live in Yangyan Village. I had the honor of meeting you in the village a few days ago."

"Oh, no wonder."

"I have been the painter here for decades. If you go to the House of Marriage, you will see my work at the entrance."

"So those were drawn by you. Well, since you are an old hand, please draw Shuiyun more beautifully, otherwise I won't let you off." Zhiyao rubbed his hands and joked.

The painting took nearly an hour. After the work was completed, Shuiyun and Zhiyao expressed their satisfaction, especially Zhiyao. He felt that the degree of restoration was almost close to that of a camera, and he felt that the old man was really good.

Everything is ready, all that's left is to go to the Water Palace.

Before leaving, Shuiyun called Jie Nu to her side and whispered something to her. After Jie Nu heard it, her face was full of surprise.

"Are you sure...you want to do this?" Yui Nu's expression was complicated.

"That's good. I already have someone in my heart. Even if I can't form a soul bond with him, I don't want to be disturbed by other men. Lady Yui, please."

Helplessly, Jie Nu glanced at Zhi Yao and nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at the pool on the basement floor, Shui Yun, still wearing her wedding dress, was the first to step onto the wooden boat. She thought it was almost time to say goodbye, but when she turned around, she saw Zhiyao getting on the boat.

"I also need to go."

Shuiyun didn't say anything, but held Zhiyao's hand with joy.

At dawn, two wooden boats were sailing on the surface of the Other Shore Lake. As the boats docked at the pier of the Water Palace, the four continued to move towards the main hall. Then, when the door of the main hall was pushed open, Shui Yun finally ushered in the end of her life.

The brand new coffin was placed in the middle of the main hall, with Kuangnu and Jienu standing on either side of the coffin.

After calming herself, Shuiyun slowly walked towards the coffin. Her expression was blank, and she no longer had any attachment to anything in this world. Beside her, Zhiyao followed closely, and just as Shuiyun was about to step into the coffin, she pulled her back.

He wanted to say something to her, his heart was full of words, but he couldn't say anything.

Shui Yun looked at him steadily and pulled her hand away.

"Mr. Sikong."

"Well."

"I'm glad to have met you in the last two days of my life. Finally... goodbye."

The lid of the coffin slowly closed. In an instant, Zhiyao felt his vision blurred and his nose couldn't help but feel sore. He bit his lower lip tightly, and tears were about to well up in his eyes.

He once came to Rishang Mountain in order to find a way to go back, and then met Shuiyun. Looking back, Shuiyun has always been by his side since he came to Rishang Mountain, but before he found a way to go back, Shuiyun left him first.

Without Shuiyun, he suddenly felt that everything here was extremely strange, and he couldn't even find the meaning of staying in this place.

On the way back, Zhiyao was absent-minded and in a daze. After returning to Katashiro Shrine from the Water Palace, he packed his luggage as quickly as possible and left the sad place of Rishang Mountain.

I don’t know what to do next, let’s go back to Yangyan Village first.

It took him a long time to finally arrive at Yangyan Village. When he arrived at the village entrance, he saw young Kunihiko Aso in the distance.

Their eyes met, and the next moment, Kunihiko Aso quickly ran towards them.

"Brother Sikong..."

Young Kunihiko Aso looked anxious.

"Baiju...Baiju fell down!"

Chapter 130: [Bai Ju has a fever]

Today, as usual, little Kunihiko Aso went out after breakfast, preparing to go to the village up the mountain to play with his friends. When he entered the village, he saw the little girl with white hair.

The two were facing each other at that time, and Aso suddenly remembered that she was Bai Ju that Zhiyao mentioned.

As the distance gradually shortened, Aso discovered that the girl's extremely white face was covered with large blushes, and she was gasping for breath.

Just as the two passed each other, Baiju suddenly fell to the ground. Aso hurried forward to check and found that Baiju had her eyes closed and was unconscious.

"Bai Ju has fallen down!" He shouted anxiously and asked for help from the surrounding villagers.

The villagers turned a deaf ear to it.

Even though she was favored by the hero of Yangyan Village, Baiju's treatment in the village did not improve much. In the eyes of most villagers, she was still an unlucky existence like a tumor. Only the people of the Matsumoto family and her parents treated her better than before.

No one was willing to lend a helping hand, and Aso was extremely anxious. Fortunately, a servant of the Matsumoto family passed by and Shiragiku was finally sent home.

Afterwards, Aso came out of Baiju's house, thinking about notifying Zhiyao quickly, and then he saw Zhiyao appear at the entrance of the village.

"Baiju has fallen!"

When Zhiyao heard what Aso Kunihiko said and saw the anxious look on his face, his body shook for a moment, and his listless eyes regained their luster.

Without having time to ask about the situation, he rushed to Bai Ju's house.

The door of Bai Ju's house was not closed tightly, so he pushed it open and rushed in, almost colliding with Bai Ju's mother.
