Hanasari cast a spell, a spell for communication.
"Who is disturbing my peace...!!! "Konzai Palace", you are back?"
Chapter 99: Five Hundred Treasures
Fox Palace.
This is a person's name.
Five hundred years ago, everyone in Inazuma knew this name.
She is the "friend" of General Raiden, the "chief priest" of Narukami Taisha Shrine, and the "fox fairy" of the Hakuchen bloodline.
And what about yourself?
"My name is, Hanasari."
"I am Kitsuzai Palace, but Kitsuzai Palace is not me."
Hanasari knew very well that she was a part of the Kosai Palace. But she could not fully represent the Kosai Palace. The missing memory was enough to prove this.
In my memory, I have the name of the monster in front of me. It is called Gobazo, a raccoon cat monster. Five hundred years later, this tribe is one of the few that is still thriving today.
"What do you mean by this? If you are not Kitsunesai, who else could you be? Stinky fox, don't think I can't recognize you just because you changed your name!" Gobazo did not acknowledge what Hanasari said.
That fox was cunning to begin with. I was free at first, but it was because of the other party's design that I had to become a part of the Inazuma system.
"Five hundred years ago, when darkness covered the sky, she took the lead and was finally swallowed up by the filth." Hanasari calmly told the truth about the past.
Five hundred years ago, when the gods went to a distant battlefield, the enemy attacked the entire Inazuma. A fox named Kitsusaigumi used the trivial condition of "you can eat as much fried tofu as you want" to let the fox with little experience inherit the position of the chief priest of Narujin Taisha Shrine. He immediately took over the castle tower in place of his friend and protected Inazuma until he died in battle.
There is such a memory in Hua Sanli.
Gobazo fell silent for a long time, and its voice continued to be transmitted through some means: "Then, Hanasari, what are you?"
"Her memory was born with the power of filth."
"Is that so? As expected... that fox."
Silence was born between the two. Gohyukura was a friend of Kitsukosaigū, and Hanasari was the continuation of Kitsukosaigū. The name "Kitsukosaigū" was the bridge that maintained the conversation between the two. But this bridge has been broken.
Gobazo had a premonition, but he would rather keep himself in a dream. He didn't want to believe it, but Hanasari's arrival broke his dream. How could he not see what Hanasari was? He couldn't feel Baichen's blood at all. Instead, he felt hatred and filth.
It was like the feeling I had once had when facing the power of the gods.
Gobazo has a complicated opinion about Kitsunayagiya. Because that fox always overpowers him in everything. He always loses to that fox.
Thinking back now, Gobazo didn't hate the life back then. Even though he was given a certain position, at least everyone could happily discuss the Hundred Tales together on the mountain and in the Narukami Taisha Shrine, and they could freely fly into the sky, blocking the moon to create a "moonless night" and complete the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" that belonged to everyone.
What now?
Not to mention the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons", even monsters were rarely seen during the years when they were sealed here.
If it were in the past, knowing that he was sealed here, those monsters would definitely come to laugh at him. But in the end, no one came.
"Now, how many years have passed...is everyone gone? Then who is the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine now?" asked Gobazo.
"It's the Eightfold Son of God." Li Mo said.
"Ah, Yae Shinko? The little fox who liked to lie on people's shoulders back then can now stand on his own?" Even if he didn't speak with his mouth, one could hear Gobazo's loneliness.
Hanasari stood there, just standing there.
Given her identity, it was not appropriate for her to disturb Gobazo's memory. Hundreds of years had passed, and the once powerful monster clan was now in pieces. In the long time, too many things had been buried.
"Lord Gobazo, I want to know if you have ever taken anything out of the Heavenly Fox statue." Li Mo stepped forward and said.
He broke Gobazo's recollection and brought him back to reality.
Those who stop at the past cannot move towards the future.
Gobazo said, "I did get something... What do you want to do with it?"
"Perform the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura," Hanasari continued, "That is my responsibility."
"I see. I can leave it to you... Hanasari, right? I have something to tell you. It's about her."
Gobazo was delivering the message: "Once upon a time, before leaving, Kitsai-guni told me a lot of things. I don't remember most of them, but I still remember one thing. It's about the ghost tribe.
Once upon a time, the Blue Oni and the Red Oni were separated, one wandered in the wild, and the other integrated into the human race. But she said that she would bring the Blue Oni back sooner or later. This was her promise to Torachiyo. Can I leave this to you, Hanasari? "
Gohyukang understood the essence of Hanasara's existence and what Hanasara's life value is now.
It wants to add weight to this person's life.
"I see. I'll do it. Thank you."
"You're welcome. If possible, please help me take care of Master Ji's little raccoons. They just escaped the seal some time ago.
That's right, part of the reason. I used a spell to hide that place. Hanasari, you should be able to break that spell.
That's it, I want to take a good rest for a while."
Connection, interrupted.
Gobazo is sealed, and the huge raccoon statue in front of him is a manifestation of the seal. The communication between the two sides is carried out through magic.
Hanasari said, "Let's go to the barrier first. I have some ideas on the magic."
"Ah."
Li Mo followed Hua Sanli. If she hadn't followed him, she would probably need to seek the help of Wu Bai Zang. After all, it was it that cast the spell.
The barrier was located on the eastern coastline. Hanasari had memories of this.
"Mr. Li Mo, do you have many doubts?"
"I have doubts." Li Mo answered firmly.
It is true that he has many memories of the past, but human memory, although not like fish memory, which only lasts seven seconds, is always vague about distant memories.
He could no longer remember all the information.
"Please allow me to ponder the words carefully. I will tell you in detail once the barrier here is purified."
"I see."
Hanasari had already broken the spell left by Gohyukō, and he was familiar with the subsequent decryption and purification process. The fallen warrior born from filth was no match for him.
The third barrier was purified. Li Mo walked out of the cave and looked at Hua Sanli who was standing on the coast and looking at the sea.
"Is it solved? Mr. Li Mo, the fourth barrier is over at Kamisato House. Let's talk while we walk." Hanasari suggested.
Chapter 100: The tacit understanding between the two
"Master Kitsusai, you must have heard this name many times."
"Yes."
He had heard this name from the village chief of Konda Village, from the shrine maiden of Narujin Taisha Shrine, and from the raccoon demon in the forest.
Li Mo was not quite sure what kind of person this "Hu Zhai Gong" was. But he thought that as a friend of General Lei Dian, he must be an extraordinary person.
"Lady Hu Zhaigong is an important figure. She and the two Thunder Generals are good friends. By the way, Lord Li Mo may not know that we have not one but two Thunder Generals. One is named Zhen, who is in charge of civil governance, and the other is named Ying, who is in charge of war."
In the flower scattered, there are the memories of the fox palace. Even if the memory is incomplete, she can find a lot of useful information from it. For example, the information she is telling Li Mo now.
But she didn't see any "so that's how it is" expression in Li Mo's eyes. The man who was traveling with her looked more like he should take it for granted. It seemed that he already knew the secret that General Lei Dian had two men.
"You know?"
"Yes. I also know that my elder sister, Raiden Shin, is dead. Now the only general in the castle tower is Raiden Kadashi."
"So... is that so? No wonder Filth appears as a laggard." Hanasari whispered.
She understood why it was like this. I guess... on the road of exploring "eternity", General Raiden must also be troubled.
After a pause, Hanasari continued, "Let's get back to the point. Lady Kitsunayori is a very capable person. But in the disaster hundreds of years ago, Lady Kitsunayori replaced General Raiden and led the people of Inazuma to fight against the dark disaster. She fought to the end until she was exhausted and swallowed by the dark filth.
Because the memory and obsession of Master Kitsai-gū were very strong, he used the power of filth. I was born like this... In essence, I am no different from those fallen warriors. Therefore, I cannot complete the purification. "
This is why Hanasari cannot enter the barrier. When the barrier is unfolded, it means the beginning of purification. If she follows in, she will also be affected.
The memory of the Kitsai Palace, a new life form born from filth. It is Miss Hanasari in front of us.
"Do you look alike to Kitsaigong?"
"Actually, they don't look alike. Lady Kitsune-sai-gu, her hair is white, and she likes to show her fox ears. She and I are probably both fond of wearing masks."
Hua Sanli said.
Li Mo said: "Mask? Actually, I also have a fox mask. It was given to me by my teacher."
He took out a mask from his equipment. The fox masks made by Urokodaki-sensei were all different. For example, Li Mo's was different from Tomioka Giyuu's and Makomo's.
If you must say, Li Mo's fox mask has similarities with the mask worn by Hua Sanli.
Hanasari also discovered something: "From the appearance, they are very similar. Secondly... I can feel the blessing from the mask."
"He is my teacher in swordsmanship. I am from another world, Hanasari, do you know?"
"I have a vague feeling, but I'm not sure." Hanasari said, "In Lady Kitsusai's memory, she once saw a traveler from another world named 'Alice'. So she is not unfamiliar with the other world."
Alice.
Li Mo frowned and thought about it, and felt that the name was very familiar.
"That lady, according to her own statement, is an elf. Her ears are pointy, but the rest of her appearance is unmistakably human."
"Elves, I know what it is."
Li Mo thought about it.
Isn't Alice Klee's mother? A dangerous person who went to Liyue and asked Zhongli to be her guide (escort).
Did she come to Inazuma many years ago?
"We have arrived at the Sky Fox statue. Sir Li Mo, would you like to take a rest for a while?"
"Then wait until I have lunch. Hanasari, can't you eat?" Li Mo took out rice balls and a water bottle from the inventory.
It was noon now. It was time for lunch. With yesterday's lesson in mind, he brought some rice balls from the Chaimen family when he went out in the morning.
He remembered that he had once offered to share the rice ball, but Hanasari refused.
