"... Thinking like this, I become more and more scared. Everyone must have known about my weakness earlier. Yes, they knew it from the first moment they met me."
As she said that, the lady boss smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Substitute? Stop joking! Saving souls who have nowhere to go? You take yourself too seriously! I am the one who is saved!"
Tears fell one by one from the landlady's face, dripping down her cheeks and onto the ground.
"Everyone has supported me since a long time ago and was worried about me being alone...even if it turned out to be like this, you have always...always been by my side. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, everyone!" The lady boss's tears never stopped, "Also... Thank you all so much!”
"No...don't cry," TAGOSAKU unexpectedly slowly reached out his hand and gently stroked the boss lady's cheek, mixed with the voices of countless spirits, "Ayan/boss lady, don't cry, I/we...are always here for you. Around…”
As soon as he finished speaking, TAGOSAKU began to glow with a dazzling green light. At the same time, TAGASAKU's body surface began to crack. The previously inhaled spirits ran out one by one through the cracks in TAGOSAKU's body and stopped in the air.
"That's..." Xin Baji looked at the spiritual bodies that were still slightly glowing in mid-air in disbelief, "The avatars who were sucked in before have all become Buddhas..."
"The boss lady is not alone, everyone... everyone is in the boss lady's heart...always...always."
These spirits who were about to become Buddhas stayed in mid-air, and all of them looked at the proprietress with gentle expressions.
The landlady raised her head and watched with some reluctance and relief as the spirits turned into beams of light and flew high into the sky before disappearing. She was silent for a long time.
Gintoki and the others just stood behind the proprietress and quietly watched this scene of Buddhahood Sale, which was like a supermarket promotion.
TAGOSAKU, who lost all his spirit, also gradually shrank in size, and finally became the size of a normal human, and his appearance was no longer as vicious as before. Instead, he turned into a middle-aged man with a soft expression and a somewhat thin look.
"Ayan, I'm sorry." The boss, whose body was also glowing slightly, had an apologetic smile on his face.
"No." The landlady looked at her husband and shook her head gently.
The boss, who felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter, and might fly into the air in the next moment, looked at the landlady tenderly: "Ayan, it seems that I have reached the end of my life, but don't be sad, don't Feeling lonely. Because... it was agreed upon."
After saying that, the boss transformed into a green light and slowly rose into the air.
But at this touching moment, a certain Jiang, who was sleeping wrapped in a quilt under the eaves, sneezed because of the cold.
Ah Qiu!
The frightened boss who had just ascended into the air immediately disappeared on the spot.
Everyone:…
"It's great, I finally became a Buddha, my husband and everyone." The landlady looked at the sky that had returned to its original state with a sentimental look.
"Wait a minute! The others won't say anything, but your husband just now obviously didn't become a Buddha, right?!" Gintoki quickly argued, "He was obviously scared and disappeared just now, right?! He was killed by that fool Did a sneeze frighten you into disappearing?!"
"No, he became a Buddha." The landlady shook her head.
"No, he has completely disappeared!"
"No, he just became a Buddha."
"No, just disappear from this world completely!"
…
While the two were arguing, Jiang Cheng rubbed his eyes and sat up. After yawning, he looked at the landlady and asked, "Are you ready for midnight snack? Auntie."
The landlady who was arguing with Gintoki stopped, and then suddenly burst into laughter, holding her stomach and laughing so hard that she burst into tears.
"Is there anything funny?" Jiang Cheng asked doubtfully.
"No, no," the landlady stopped laughing, waved her hand and said, "Nothing, midnight snack will be ready soon. If you feel cold, go into the room and wait."
"Okay." Jiang Cheng sighed, then stood up, grabbed the quilt, opened the door and walked in.
But just after Jiang Cheng walked into the house and closed the door, the corners of his mouth raised slightly...
…
The next day, early in the morning.
The entrance of Xianwangxiang Hotel. The landlady stood outside the door and was bidding farewell to Gintoki and his party.
"This is all I can do," the landlady stood in front of Gintoki and the others with her hands folded, "continue to rub the bones' backs."
"Manage the hotel by yourself?" Xin Bajiao's expression showed a hint of unbearability.
"We are not alone, everyone is in my heart." The boss lady pointed to her chest with a smile, then folded her hands again and continued, "This time I have to start doing the work of saving others seriously, and also In order to repay my kindness, if you cannot become a Buddha, remember to come and play. I promise that you will ascend to heaven in no time."
Before the landlady could finish speaking, Gintoki turned his head and walked down the stairs. He raised his hand slightly and muttered disdainfully: "Hey, I don't want an old woman to wipe my back."
Immediately afterwards, Shinpachi, Miao and Kagura said hello and followed Gintoki at the same time.
"Miss Yue Yong, aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for Jiang Chengsang?" Xin Baji suddenly noticed something, turned his head and looked at Yue Yong who was leaning in front of the gate with a cigarette in his mouth and asked doubtfully.
"Ah," Yue Yong nodded slightly, glancing into the door slightly, "That idiot just seemed to have gone to the toilet."
"Speaking of which, Jiang Chengsang is the only one who really came for vacation this time." Xin Baji said with some emotion, then stretched out his hand and waved, "Then let's go first, Miss Yueyong."
Yue Yong nodded slightly.
However, no one noticed that when Shinpachi talked about Jiang Cheng, Gintoki curled his lips in displeasure...
…
"I'm really relaxed this time~" Jiang Cheng stretched and stepped out of the gate of Xianwang Township, then grinned, "Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you again this time. I wanted to help, but I didn’t expect that I would just rest after arriving.”
"Welcome to come again next time, Jiang Chengjun." The proprietress covered her face and smiled.
"That's it..." Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "Then come here again next year."
Hearing the sound, the expression on the landlady's face froze instantly.
Seeing the embarrassed look on the landlady's face, Yue Yong pulled Jiang Cheng up and walked down the mountain without looking back, but at the end she didn't forget to say, "Thank you for the hospitality."
"Auntie, see you next year!" Jiang Cheng, who was dragged behind by Yue Yong, had tears of emotion in his eyes and waved to the landlady reluctantly.
…
On the other side, Gintoki and the others were walking not far in front of Jiang Cheng and the others.
"I always feel a little lonely, boss lady," Xin Bajia, who lowered his head and felt a little disappointed along the way, couldn't help but said, "Is it really okay?"
"You won't be lonely." Gintoki chuckled softly and replied casually...
…
"Hey, let's stop this a little bit." Yue Yong walked halfway up the mountain, stopped, and let go of Jiang Cheng, "If you keep pretending like this, be careful I'll throw you down from here."
"Yueyue, what are you talking about?" Jiang Cheng stood up and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Before you say this, your legs should not tremble to be credible." Yue Yong snorted, looking at Jiang Cheng's slightly trembling legs and the big dark circles on Jiang Cheng's face with disdain.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Jiang Cheng scratched the back of his head and then explained to himself, "The dark circles under my eyes are because I didn't sleep yesterday, and the shivering is just because the weather was too cold."
"Do you think I'm as stupid as them?" Yue Yong said disdainfully, then turned and left first, "Forget it, I don't want to know why. I'm leaving first."
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Cheng quickly raised his hand to stop him, "So can you help me?"
Yue Yong turned around with a speechless expression, "Do you want me to kick you down directly?"
"If it really doesn't work, you can! But please be gentle!" Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, then turned his back and faced the cliff, "Come on! Be gentle!"
Yue Yong walked over expressionlessly, but to Jiang Cheng's surprise, Yue Yong did not lift her feet, but stretched out his hand and put his arm on her shoulders.
"Yue..." Jiang Cheng looked in disbelief at Yue Yong, who was helping him walk down the mountain step by step.
"Shut up. If you say anything unnecessary, I will really throw it away." Yue Yong said lightly, but then added, "Thank you for your hard work, although I don't know the specific reason."
"It seems that it is really difficult to hide some things from you, Yueyue," Jiang Cheng smiled, then looked behind him with some feeling, and said softly, "As for the reason, it's probably just an agreement. Something.”
"Idiot," Yue Yong spat lightly, "I'm not the only one who saw it. I believe that man must have discovered something as well."
"This kind of thing doesn't matter anymore. I have believed in you from the beginning to the end. You can definitely do this kind of thing." After saying that, Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist. "Gintoki is different from me. This kind of thing Leave it to him to do better than me."
"Is that why you gave him the person you planned to save? And if that man knew that he was being used..." Yue Yong glanced at Jiang Cheng and reminded him in a calm tone, "Your purpose is absolutely You’ll be in trouble.”
Jiang Cheng quickly argued: "Use? Don't say it so harshly. Even without me, Gintoki would have done it. Moreover, I also helped at that critical moment. I was scared to death but persisted." Scalp is here to help!”
Yue Yong hummed softly but had no words.
-Dividing line-
Three years ago, that was the first time Ling met Jiang Cheng.
When Ling heard from the landlady that this man had no psychic vision, he became curious about Jiang Cheng.
[Are you really invisible?]Ling thought so.
Ling circled around Jiang Cheng who was eating and drinking, and from time to time he would stretch out his hand and put it in front of Jiang Cheng and shake it back and forth.
However, Jiang Cheng showed no reaction at all, as if he really couldn't see the spirit. Seeing this, Ling's curiosity gradually subsided, and for a period of time afterwards, Ling rarely had contact with Jiang Cheng.
After that, Ling heard from some guests and staff that some evil spirits disappeared permanently because of Jiang Cheng, and the curiosity that had just faded gradually began to rise again.
"Can you see it?" Ling took the trouble to surround Jiang Cheng all day and night, like a child, coming up to ask from time to time.
In the end, Jiang Cheng couldn't hold it back and shouted frantically in a space with only two people: "How many times?! Why do you keep wandering around me like a fly?" ,Why?!"
"Can you see it?!" Ling said in surprise.
[Oh no! I couldn't hold it back for a moment...] Jiang Cheng secretly thought something was wrong, but then pretended to be alright, looking here and there, muttering: "That's weird, was I talking in my sleep just now?"
"You can definitely see it! Absolutely!"
"I'm still very sleepy, let's sleep a little longer..."
"Hey you!!"
…
Afterwards, Ling and Jiang Chengcheng got in touch, and Ling also knew the truth. This man was not invisible to the spirit at all, but just pretending not to be able to see the spirit.
"Come with me and save this hotel and the proprietress!"
While saying this, Ling reached out to Jiang Cheng for the first time.
"I'm sorry," Jiang Cheng raised his head and smiled awkwardly, "Although I also want to save this place like a devil's cave with you, but now is not a good time no matter how you look at it."
"Why? If it's you who can cause harm to spiritual bodies, you can definitely..."
Jiang Cheng shook his head slightly, "Have you ever heard of a saying? People who are confused themselves cannot save others. I am still looking for something, something called the answer."
Ling was puzzled, but he still saw a special emotion in Jiang Cheng's eyes, like sadness, confusion, pain...
"But, don't worry," Jiang Cheng smiled softly, and then stretched out his little finger, "When I find the answer, I will definitely come back here again, whether it is this hotel or that aunt, all of them are handed over to me. Give it to me. This is a promise..."
The next day.
Ling and the landlady stood at the door, watching Jiang Cheng leave...
Unknowingly, three years passed, and when Ling saw this man again, there were many more people around him.
"Are we going to start?" Ling found Jiang Cheng on the first night when Jiang Cheng and others moved in.
"Ah, but it seems there is no need for me to come. There is an annoying guy here too." Jiang Cheng smiled and looked at Ling, "That silver-haired guy will definitely do something. Come with him, Ling .”
At Jiang Cheng's suggestion, Ling instigated Gintoki, but their first action ended in failure. Ling was imprisoned, as was Gintoki.
When she saw Jiang Cheng tearing apart the talisman in the room and slowly leaving after opening the door, Ling followed him without hesitation.
"Go find that man, he will never give up easily." Jiang Cheng just smiled and said lightly, "And he will never fail."
Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the result was just as Jiang Cheng said, he successfully saved the hotel and the proprietress...
-Dividing line-
The landlady who had just said goodbye to Gintoki's group and Jiangcheng's group turned around and walked towards the hotel a little lonely. However, after taking only two steps, the landlady suddenly noticed something and stopped instantly.
"Ling!" The landlady looked at Ling leaning in front of the door with his hands folded in surprise, "Why are you still here? Why haven't you become a Buddha?"
"I'm still a little obsessed with this world," Ling stood up straight and looked at the landlady, "But don't worry, I didn't come back because I was worried about the landlady. It's because there are men who want to rub his back."
After hearing this, the landlady and Ling laughed in unison.
[Madam Boss, it’s not just you and the boss who made the promise. ] Lingxin thought, then looked at the road leading to the foot of the mountain, hiding his face again and smiling...
[That's great, Lord Jiang Cheng, there is no confusion in his eyes anymore... ]
