Chapter 166 Divine Envoy——Xiao Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel, After the exorcists left, the few customers who had been there were completely gone. The waiters immediately became free and sat together on the chairs in the courtyard to chat. "That guest came back this morning covered in blood, with a torn bathrobe and a knife hanging around his waist. I was shocked. I thought he was a ronin swordsman from some sword and halberd movie." "Ah Zhan, you pushed the dining cart to his room later. What did you see? Can you tell me?" The waiter known as A Zhan became angry when he thought about this. "What can I see? All I know is that the customer is tall, handsome, good at eating, and very picky. I pushed the dining cart for a long time and didn't even give him a small tip." "How bold! How dare you slander Lord Higashino behind his back - woohoo!" While they were chatting, a young man with a moon haircut suddenly emerged from the wall of the courtyard near the forest. He was wearing some simple and shabby Wu clothes. He looked like the farmers in the black and white photos in the history textbooks. He looked a little rough, with his eyes wide open and angry. He held up a tree branch and shouted that he wanted to beat several waiters.
What's going on? Are you playing COSPLAY? Or are you filming tiktak to tease people? Several waiters were stunned for a second. "Santaro!" "Stop talking!" A young man poked his head out from behind the courtyard wall, covered his mouth and pushed him down. There seemed to be several people behind the courtyard wall, and there was vague movement of struggle. This young man is dressed normally, with white short-sleeves, ordinary appearance, and very polite speech. He smiled and asked: "Does Mr. Higashino live here?" "Mr. Higashino, who is that?" The other two waiters looked at each other. "That's the guest you asked about." Amasaru explained that he heard the conversation between the customer and a beautiful girl wearing a high-end kimono while delivering the meal, and learned his last name. As he said that, he looked at the young man lying on the wall: "He seems to have taken a tour bus to Taolin with other guests. He should be there by now." "So that's it, I'm sorry to bother you, thank you!" The young man nodded gratefully and disappeared behind the courtyard wall. "Azhan, isn't this bad? You do it without the guest's consent." A waiter frowned, disapproving of his way of casually disclosing the guest's private whereabouts. "Hey, what can I do?" Ah Zhan smiled, stretched and didn't care much. "Anyway, I don't plan to work here for long. When my salary is paid this month, I will go to Tokyo to make a living. It's not interesting to be a waiter all the time. I want to go to a wider world!" At this moment, several people suddenly heard the sound of conversation behind the courtyard wall. "Mofuyu, Master Higashino has already gone to Taolin."
"Shall we go back too? We need to prepare a ceremony to open the gate to the fairyland. If we run faster, we might be able to catch up with Uncle Wulang and the others." "Um." Momofuyu and Santaro Tanuki discussed for a while and prepared to go to Taolin immediately. The three waiters were sitting on chairs, listening to the vague whispers behind the courtyard wall, and looked at each other. They couldn't be thieves, right? They quietly walked over, jumped up and clawed at the courtyard wall to look out, but they saw three ridiculously large civet cats and a smaller civet cat not far away running into the forest together. Where are people? The three of them looked at each other in astonishment. Fairyland, Dong Yeyu pushed the unconscious farmer's civet cat lying on the ground outside the bushes, purred, rolled a few times, and lay down on the dirt road. Jinguji and the others didn't show up. As long as Tanigoro and the others came back in the evening, they could show up in a big way. What if the frightened farmer recognized him? I just asked some normal questions about Xianxiang. I may or may not explain the reasons for doing so. This is the authority of the great monster. Higashino Yu then quietly came to the place where the Hiiragi sisters of Jinguji Temple were hiding - behind a big rock. Look at them. "Miss Jinguji, what are you going to do?" According to the self-proclaimed tanuki monster just now, if an ordinary tanuki wants to leave the fairyland, it must first notify the elders in the tanuki village, and then bring a lantern to the village shrine to worship the gods. Light the lantern with the help of the sacred candle that never goes out in the worship hall, and follow the lantern's guidance along the main road - the same main road you saw when you came here - to the end of the white mist. Jinguji Hiiragi pondered for two seconds: "First follow what the tanuki monster said and send Kaori and the others out." Although Kaori Shiori's talent is very useful, this fairyland is quite strange, and no one knows what will happen next. It will only become more and more dangerous if you continue to stay here. "A very sensible approach, but I'm thinking-" Higashino Yu said and looked up at Jinguji Hiiragi: "How about Miss Jinguji also go together? I will see you off." "Miss Kaori and Miss Shiori need protection in the outside world. At present, we don't know whether there is a problem with Uda Hideki himself or with the entire Uda family as a local snake. Therefore, the outside world may not be safe." "After you get out, I will escort you all the way to Inzai City Station until you get on the Shinkansen to Tokyo. Uda Hideki probably wouldn't have thought that someone could leave Sengo so quickly, but to be on the safe side, you'd better dress up in disguise. " "As for Mr. Jinguji and the others, Mr. Higashino and I will do our best to rescue them." Hearing this, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami looked at the fox with some surprise. She had been talking nonsense before, but now she had to admit that the fox's arrangement was indeed the safest. The girl pondered. She had no time to think in a hurry before, but now, questions popped up one after another.
Why did Ueda Hideki betray? Is he related to the frequent disappearance of tourists in Momogo Town? Is he in league with demons? What about the Ueda family? There is still a lot of information to be filled in, but Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami subconsciously feels that this incident may be much more serious than imagined. "Can you do it alone?" she asked. Dong Yeyu thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "I don't know." "The raccoon cat monsters have worshipped six big monsters and are preparing to fight the demons that are causing trouble in the fairyland. It is estimated that it will be either tonight or tomorrow." "For the time being, I don't know whether the demons to be dealt with are those in the white fog, but since the raccoon cats can invite seven big monsters at once, I think they should not be those demons with low cultivation." "When the fight starts, no one knows what the result will be." After he finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent for a while. Kaori and Shiori on the side heard that it would be very dangerous here, and raised their little heads, "Ayu, don't you want to go with me?" "If I leave, what will happen to Mr. Jinguji and the others? Even if they are not attacked by demons, they may get lost in the fairyland, and someone needs to tell them how to leave." "And I have made an appointment with the raccoon cats to help them kill demons with the other six big demons. Male foxes are upright and cannot break their promises." When Kaori and Shiori heard this, they thought that their parents were now in danger of life and death, and they really needed someone to find rescue, so they fell silent. But it's so dangerous here, what if the big fox Ayu is killed if he stays here? The two girls felt a little annoyed and guilty, and then they remembered that Dongye Yu was still missing, so they asked. "What about Dongye Nisan?" You two have a conscience and still know me. Dongye Yu smiled proudly and boasted. "Master Dongye should be looking for other demon hunters. He has a high level of cultivation and super powerful magic weapons. Even gods may be embarrassed in front of him. Don't worry about him." "Dongye Nisan is so powerful?" Kaori and Shiori looked at their cousin in surprise. Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami remembered what he had seen and heard in the house of the old lady named Sakurada Wakako before, and nodded. "Tung Ye's inheritance should come from Shenzhou. It is said that some of the ancestors of Shenzhou practitioners served as immortal officials in the Shenzhou God Realm, and some outstanding descendants will receive gifts from their ancestors." "Immortal officials?" "You can understand it as gods." "Did Dong Ye Nissan receive gifts from gods?!" "You can understand it that way." The two little girls were in awe and felt relieved when they heard this. Is there really a heaven?
Tung Ye Yu was a little surprised when he heard it, but thinking that there are Takama-ga-hara and Kunitsu God on the island country, it is not uncommon for Shenzhou to have a heaven. "Okay, time waits for no one, wait a while." Tung Ye Yu and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami then discussed for a while what to do next. Tung Ye Yu wanted to steal the lantern himself, but was rejected by Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami on the grounds that he could not become smaller and the target was too big to attract attention. In the end, it was decided that Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami would steal the lantern to borrow the divine fire. Higashino Yu and Kaori Shiori, two people and one fox, hid outside to respond. If everything went well, they would follow the original plan. If there was an emergency, Higashino Yu would jump out directly! After the discussion, the three climbed onto the big fox's back again, and Higashino Yu carried them all the way and sneaked directly to the shrine in Tanuki Village. According to the raccoon cat monster, Elder Tanuki was the priest of the shrine. He was usually in the shrine during the day, and the lanterns used to leave the fairyland were also in the shrine. The four arrived at the woods behind Tanuki Village Shrine. The shrine here is also called Hishizawa Shrine, and the water god of Hishizawa should also be enshrined. It was the time for spring plowing, and there was only Tanuki in the shrine. Higashino Yu hid in the woods and observed the old raccoon cat wearing hunting clothes and sweeping the floor with a broom not far away. This was a rather old raccoon cat, with white eyebrows hanging on both sides of his cheeks and thick and long beard on his face, like Santa Claus, with withered and gray hair all over his body, hunched over, and slow in movement. However, his cultivation is much higher than that of ordinary raccoons. Of course, it is just the difference between a mosquito and a larger mosquito. Dong Ye Yu looked for a while, felt safe, and said in a low voice. "That should be Tanuki, I will attract his attention, Miss Jinguji, you go get the lantern." "Well, be careful." Jinguji Hiiragi nodded, put a talisman that can restrain the breath on himself and Dong Ye Yu, bent his body, and sneaked towards the shrine quietly. Dong Ye Yu carried Kaori and Shiori to the other side and knocked hard on the shrine wall. Tanuki looked at the worship hall in surprise when he heard the movement, and was silent for a while, just as if he had just distinguished the source of the sound, and his eyes that seemed to be closed opened a little wider, and raised his head to look in the direction of the sound. "Who is it?" He said, putting the broom next to the railing of the worship hall and walking towards Dong Ye Yu. The shrine is not big. After searching for a while, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami found a pile of well-placed lanterns in a small house not far from the worship hall. The shape is a traditional Japanese lantern, covered with a layer of red paper, with the Chinese characters "貉" written on it. There is a white candle in the lantern, which looks like the kind that is wholesaled from a country store. After getting the lantern, the girl sneaked into the worship hall as nimbly and quietly as a cat. There was nothing in the worship hall, only a large red candle burning quietly in the center, the bright light illuminated the worship hall, and the solidified candle tears almost completely submerged the base. This should be it. She didn't intend to waste time, climbed over the railing of the main entrance of the worship hall, and went to borrow a light with the lantern.
"A mouse actually ran in." The voice from behind made Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's body stiffen slightly, like the voice of a young man. At first glance, it sounded very elegant and gentle, even if he said this, he only looked slightly distressed. Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami put down the lantern, held Kunimitsu Nyudo Isshin tightly in one hand, and turned his head to look. A man was standing in the corridor outside the worship hall. He was tall and slender, with a feminine and handsome appearance. He was wearing the attire of a divine messenger. His upper body was a white large-sleeved kimono that symbolized holiness, and his lower body was a gray crotch. A powerful sword was hung on his waist. He looked in another direction and frowned: "There are so many rats, and there is also a wild fox? The fairyland is really getting more and more corrupt." His tone was like the distress of ordinary people cleaning at home and suddenly found cockroaches. Then he looked at Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, his expression was like looking at an ant, and his voice was indifferent. "I am the divine messenger of the seat of the water god of Hishizawa, Shino. Mortals, you are in league with demons, trespassing into the fairyland, and offending the gods. Do you know your crime?" Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami loosened his hand holding the sword and explained seriously. "We are demon hunters sent by the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Science to Momogo Town to exorcise demons. We were attacked by villains and mistakenly entered the fairyland. We did not break in intentionally." "That monster is the shikigami of one of the demon hunters, not a demon." After saying that, he asked again: "Since you are the messenger of the Lord Hishizawa Mizukami, you have great magical powers. You can understand the whole story with a little investigation. Can you help us kill the demon and capture the traitor?" "When the mission is completed, we will return to Tokyo and ask officials from the Ministry of Religion, Culture, and Science to report the merits to you at Izumo Taisha." As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the man in front of her, her hands were placed in a position where she could draw her sword at any time, and her defense in her heart was not relaxed at all. The man in front of her who claimed to be a messenger of God had unfathomable cultivation, and the sense of oppression given by ordinary big monsters was much stronger. And this messenger of God seemed to have bad intentions. The messenger of God who called himself Shino seemed to be unable to hear the words of Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami. He sighed and gently rubbed his fingers on the handle of the knife. "Offending the gods is a capital crime." He said, holding the hilt of the knife, looking at the girl: "Kneel down, I may let you, an ant, live a little longer." Seeing this, Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami's expression became serious, pursed his lips slightly, slowly drew his knife, and posed in the middle section. "I won't surrender." Shino nodded, and was about to draw his knife to kill the girl in front of him. At this moment, he suddenly turned his face slightly and looked to the left with some surprise-the big fox had stood a few meters away from him without knowing when. Another all-nighter, alas, the work and rest feel normal, and my eyes can't open anymore. I'll ask Brother Meng for some monthly tickets. See you in the evening.
