Chapter 502: Fighting the Eye Hunting Order
"Wait, wait... Are you saying... you are also a demon god?"
Paimeng scratched his head, his mind was a little confused for a moment, and he could only ask Liu Bai this.
"I am not a demon, so I did not participate in the demon war."
Liu Bai shook his head and answered Paimeng's question.
"I don't want to bring the hatred from the Demon War to the present. Otherwise, it will bring great disaster to the people today, just like when Osel attacked Liyue. So I don't plan to meet that Thunder General."
Then Liu Bai explained why he didn't go to Ming Shen Island with them.
"So that's how it is... No wonder I met you at Bayun Island. Are you here to commemorate your sister?"
After listening to Liu Bai's explanation, Ying and the others suddenly realized what was going on. Paimeng nodded and said this.
Ying also remembered Liu Bai's reaction when he saw the huge snake head when he went to the head of the snake god that day.
"Yes, I go back to Inazuma every once in a while to pay tribute to her. The reason we met in Liyue before was because I needed to return to Inazuma from there."
Liu Bai nodded and continued speaking.
For a moment, she began to believe what she said.
"But I think it's better to overturn the Eye Hunting Order. You must work hard on your return to Ming Shen Island and don't let everyone down, Traveler."
Liu Bai turned around and looked at Ying, raised a hand and placed it on her shoulder to admonish her.
"I will."
Ying nodded seriously in response.
"Then go ahead, but don't forget to practice well. I'll set a goal for you. The next time we meet, you must defeat me once."
"If you accomplish your goal, I will teach you the moves for your first awakening."
Liu Bai nodded with satisfaction, withdrew his hand, and spoke to Ying, Krevi and the others before leaving.
……
Just like that, Ying and the others explained the matter to Coral Palace Xinhai and set off back to Ming Shen Island.
Liu Bai also returned to Wanglong Village and came to where he lived.
Since Ying and the others have returned to Mingshen Island, there is no need for him to maintain Liu Bai's state.
"and many more!"
Just as Liu Bai was about to return to her original form, Nashida immediately stopped her.
Under Liu Bai's puzzled gaze, Nashida came closer, stood on tiptoe and grabbed Liu Bai's chest with both hands.
"There's no need for you to change back in a short time, so let me touch you a few more times~"
Nashida stuck out her tongue and said with a smirk.
Although she is also a girl, Liu Bai's reaction is very cute and she likes it very much.
After Nashida had enough of touching, Liu Bai, who was lying on the bed, finally stopped his transformation.
"Wu...girl, we should go back too."
Liu Bai, who had transformed back, picked up Nashida and sat up from the bed.
"Well, let's go."
Nashida nodded, then turned over from Liu Bai and got off the bed.
Liu Bai also got out of bed, took Nashida's hand and activated the earth vein transmitter.
"Didi, your fried tofu ramen is ready, please enjoy...?"
The next moment, the rice cooker made by Nashida was summoned by Liu Bai. It opened its lid to reveal the steaming ramen inside.
However, after seeing Liu Bai and Nashida in front of it, it obviously crashed for a moment.
"Hmm? Did you lend the rice cooker to someone?"
Seeing that Liu Bai summoned the rice cooker and it had already cooked the noodles, Nashida asked in confusion.
"..."
"Oh! I left it at Narukami Taisha Shrine when I was learning from the God of Cooking last time!"
Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, then he spoke with sudden enlightenment.
In order to be able to use the pot to cook rice smoothly, Liu Bai turned it off, but later Liu Bai was blown away from the kitchen by the explosion.
Since this pot was made by the God of Wisdom, it is quite durable and was not damaged in the explosion.
But Liu Bai had long forgotten its existence.
"Hmm... so the ramen in the pot was cooked by the miko of Narukami Taisha?"
After hearing Liu Bai's explanation, Nashida understood why there was noodles in the pot.
"It's come to this, girl, let's eat noodles."
"Okay~"
So, the two of them pulled the rice cooker to the dining table and started enjoying the steaming hot fried tofu ramen without any hesitation.
……
Just like that, Ying, Paimon and the others who went to Kaiji Island for the [Eye Hunting Ceremony] of the 100th Eye of God, as well as Liu Bai who went to hunt them down, returned to Ming Shen Island.
Because the noise of the Orobas explosion was so loud that even General Raiden was attracted, the execution of the Eye Hunting Order was temporarily put aside, so Ying and the others returned to Ming Shen Island easily and rushed to Ying Xiangshan to keep the appointment as soon as possible.
I had seen this pink-haired priest, Yae Kamiko, before when I fulfilled Kamisato Ayaka's three wishes.
But they really didn't expect that this Yae Godchild, as the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine and a follower of General Raiden, actually wanted to overturn the Eye Hunting Order.
"Haha, little guy, you don't understand. How can there be a prince who has existed for 500 years in this world?"
In response to Ying and the others' doubts, Yae Shinko, who was standing under the sacred cherry tree, spoke with his back to the crowd.
"...Are you really planning a rebellion? Is it too late for us to run away now, Traveler?"
Hearing what Yae Shinto said, Paimon immediately leaned over to Ying's ear and whispered.
"I was just joking, look how scared you are."
Yae Shinko turned around, covered her mouth with the back of her hand and chuckled.
"It's just that someone asked me to do something, don't think too much about it."
Then Yae Shinko explained, but she didn't say who it was, which made Ying and the others even more confused.
Yae Shinko had wanted to overturn the Eye Hunting Order before, but ever since Liu Bai came to Inazuma, Ying no longer hid from him, and the Eye Hunting Order no longer mattered to him.
But Zhen did not agree with the Eye Hunting Order, and it was not convenient for her to show up in front of Ying and the others, so she could only leave the matter to the Eightfold God Son.
Then Yae Shenzi explained the relationship between Ying and General Raiden to Ying and the others.
Only then did they realize that the Thunder General they saw that day was actually a puppet, and the real Thunder General was in a place called [One Heart Pure Land], which was the place where Ying was pulled in to fight.
Afterwards, in order to give Ying the power to fight against Ying, Yae Shenzi specially prepared an [Anti-Thunder General Special Training] for her.
The special training is also very simple. Yae Shinko uses a mechanism to reproduce the moves of General Raiden, while Ying has to avoid these moves.
After all, it is not realistic to directly confront General Thunder with force, so it is better to learn more about rolling and dodging.
……
"Master Kitchen God, I failed in my duty. The little yellow-haired girl ran too fast and I couldn't catch up with her."
After returning to Mingjin Island, Liu Bai went to the castle tower to report his situation to General Raiden.
"No problem, sit down and have some tea. The general is busy in retreat now and has no time to care about these things."
Zhen chuckled and invited Liu Bai.
Hearing Zhen's words, Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, but he still honestly sat down opposite Zhen, picked up the tea that Zhen had brewed and took a sip.
"You should have just returned from Haizhi Island. How much do you know about the previous explosion?"
After Liu Bai sat down and drank a sip of tea, Zhen began to ask.
The explosion was so loud that she had been paying attention to it.
Although the explosion was over for a long time, everything at the scene was almost completely destroyed and it was hard to tell what was going on.
That place was originally near the head of the snake god, so it was normal to have some crystallized bone marrow remaining.
After all, what is surprising is that after the big explosion, the remaining evil gods of Orobas basically disappeared, allowing the Bayun Island, which had been severely affected, to return to its original state.
It is precisely because of this that the shogunate army called it the Orobas Explosion and suspected that the explosion was caused by Orobas's corpse.
"I know a little bit. The little yellow-haired boy went over there to fight, and after he won, my system exploded."
Liu Bai nodded and explained to Xiang Zhen the cause of the explosion.
But in Zhen's ears, this sentence sounded a little different.
"I know a little bit. The little yellow-haired boy went over there to fight, and after he won, he suddenly exploded."
Although the content is different, the content is not wrong.
"I see... Is that the place where the evil eyes are produced?"
Zhen nodded and asked again.
She shouldn't have known these things, but there had been some noises coming from Kaiji Island recently, and some Fatui had been captured. If she sent someone to investigate, she would be able to find out what had happened.
She was also quite angry about the Fatui experimenting with the Evil Eye on Kaijima. After all, Kaijima was also part of Inazuma.
However, she also knew that the Fatui were divided into twelve executives, and that different executives had completely different working styles. Those people were obviously subordinate to the [Doctor], so although she was angry, this matter had nothing to do with the [Delusion] in front of her.
"OK."
Liu Bai nodded, holding the teacup in both hands.
"They actually left this kind of self-destructive backup plan in the Evil Eye Factory. Fortunately, the traveler was not injured."
After getting Liu Bai's confirmation, Zhen attributed the huge explosion to the self-destruction program of the Evil Eye Factory, and said it with a little relief.
After all, that traveler is a very important existence, both to Inazuma and to Teyvat.
Her death was no less than the destruction of the future of Teyvat.
"That was all thanks to an older sister who saved them."
Liu Bai felt a little proud as he explained it this way without revealing his identity.
"big sister?"
After hearing Liu Bai's words, Zhen was slightly confused and thought about the information he had obtained from Haizhi Island.
The only one who can do this is the mysterious Liu Bai who came from nowhere, right?
This person's existence is like a mystery. I have never heard of her and cannot find out more information about her. I only know that she seems to come from Liyue like the traveler.
"Well, never mind. Anyway, the traveler is already making preparations. Maybe you can see her in the castle tower in a few days. Don't miss her then."
"After all, whether it's a Kage or a general, their expressions must be very cute when they are defeated."
As he said this, he raised his hand, covered his mouth with his sleeve and chuckled.
……
Just as Zhen guessed, after Ying successfully passed the special training against the Thunder General, he also began to make more preparations under the arrangement of Yae Shenzi.
Since the goal was to overthrow the Eye Hunter Order, and the main driving force behind the Eye Hunter Order were Tenryo Buggyo and Kanjo Buggyo of the Three Buggyo, they decided to find some evidence to prove Tenryo Buggyo's rebellion.
In addition to this, it is also necessary to instigate a person who is in charge of the affairs of heaven.
That person is Kujo Sara. She is loyal to General Lei Dian. As long as she can prove that Tianling is deceiving the emperor, Kujo Sara will naturally ask the head of the family for an explanation.
So under the arrangement of Yae Shinko, Ying and the others came to the Guardian Forest and met a little girl disguised as an Indomitable Raccoon.
"Ah... I'm so sleepy..."
The little girl named Zaoyou was woken up.
"Um... it's, it's you, Zao Zao You didn't say anything bad about you!"
After Zaoyou opened her eyes, she saw Yae Shinko standing next to Ying and the others, and immediately squatted on the ground with her hands covering her head.
Ever since Liu Bai disguised himself as her and broke into the Naruto Shrine last year, making Yae Kamiko in a state of embarrassment, Yae Kamiko would tease Zaoyou whenever she was angry, causing Zaoyou to almost suffer from psychological trauma.
"Hmm? You're saying bad things about me again, you little brat."
"But don't be afraid. I am not a petty-minded fox."
Hearing what Zaoyou said, Yae Shinko crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, but still waved her hands pretending to be generous.
“Hmm… Could this be the [professional] that Miss Yae mentioned?”
Looking at Zaoyou who was squatting on the ground and shivering with his hands on his head, Paimon asked Yae Shinko with some confusion.
"Hehe, this person is a member of the [End of the Series], and although he looks cute, he is a genuine [Ninja]."
Faced with Paimon's doubts, Yae Shinko explained Zaoyou's identity to Ying and the others.
Ninja is a kind of character who is very famous in Inazuma, almost on par with samurai, but is rarely seen, as if it does not exist at all, and usually only appears in various novels.
After all, ninjas are different from glorious samurai. They do all kinds of dirty and shameful work, such as assassination and infiltration, so it is better not to expose themselves in front of others.
"Ninja?"
Paimon and the others looked at each other.
When we found Zaoyou just now, she was disguised as a round raccoon dog, and she couldn't be seen as a human at all, which was in line with the ability of a ninja.
After finding Zaoyou, the next thing to do is to ask Zaoyou to infiltrate Tianling Fengxing and find out the official document that Tianling Fengxing gave to General Lei Dian, so as to prove the crime of Tianling Fengxing deceiving the emperor.
Once confirmed, Tenryo Bugyo would have to give an explanation to General Raiden for the number of casualties in the battle between the shogunate army and the rebels.
Similarly, by using this method, General Lei Dian could realize the harm caused by the Eye Hunting Order, which would make it possible for her to consider revoking the Eye Hunting Order.
If that doesn't work, then it's time for Ying to show the results of her special training against the Thunder General.
"If I am caught... please come and save me..."
Before Zaoyou set out to infiltrate the Tianling Bugyo, she couldn't help but grab Ying's sleeve and look at her pitifully.
Only after Ying nodded did Zaoyou muster up the courage.
Before this, Ying and her friends had asked Xiaogong to customize a huge firework. By lighting the firework, they attracted the attention of all the guards and created the best opportunity for Zaoyou to sneak in.
