Ying didn't answer immediately, but accompanied Paimon to a roadside stall to buy snacks such as dumplings and milk, and then spoke slowly.
"The castle tower was created by the aftermath of the battle between the priest and the general. I don't know much, but I roughly know that the collision between the two of them using the "Unthinking Sword" destroyed the entire castle tower."
Ying said slowly. Then he took a bite of the kebab in his hand. As the spirit behind him, Youlezai fell silent.
Priest, general, fight? ! ! !
There was someone who actually dared to fight the general and survived in the end.
Being able to make the general use "No Thought" must be at the level of a death fight! Being able to survive a death fight under the general's hands.
The image of that unknown priest in Youlezhai's mind was elevated to a higher level. As for the Liyue people? With such powerful strength, who would care that he was a Liyue person?
"Where is that priest?"
"He should be at Narukami-taisha. Some time ago, I saw him handling official business from the Three Magistrates."
"What? The general gave him even such a right?"
By challenging the general, can you get the general's important task?
Youlezai suddenly became curious about what had happened to Inazuma during this period, and the little girl he possessed seemed to know everything.
So it asked.
Ying said, "Then, let's talk while we walk to Yingxiang Mountain?"
'it is good. '
The leisure time was over, Ying stopped Paimon from continuing to wander around, and instead took her towards Yingxiang Mountain.
During this time, Ying asked Youlezhai if he wanted to speed up. Other monsters needed to return to Yingxiang Mountain to recuperate, but Youlezhai didn't need it? Its answer was no.
It had long since cancelled its possession, but it was still bound in Ying's body. They had no choice but to keep it like this and see if the mysterious priest could solve the problem - of course, except for Youlezai, everyone else unconditionally believed that the priest could solve it.
Then, Ying set out from Inazuma Castle without stopping. Unlike those monsters who could walk in a straight line, Ying still had to borrow the road from Konda Village. However, the speed was much faster than before.
The road from Inazuma Castle to Yingxiang Mountain is now a key protected area of the Tianling Fengxing. Even the reforms carried out by the Tianling Fengxing some time ago did not affect this.
When at Kamisato's residence, Ying made a special visit, but was informed that Kamisato's siblings were not there, so he had no choice but to go up the mountain with Paimon.
Chapter 462: Outside the Shrine
Walking in the corridor in front of Naruto-no-Murakami Shrine, Ying's steps seemed very light. The purpose of walking here was to get rid of the Yurakusai on his body. Although according to exploration, it is possible to use props to make Yurakusai fall into a state where his eyes are black and he has no reaction to the outside world. But, it is still on his body, isn't it?
When troubles are about to be solved, people are always happy.
To enter the Narujin Taisha Shrine, one needs the permission of the shrine maiden Inashiro Hotaru. The shrine maiden guarding the entrance of the Narujin Taisha Shrine is like a gate god. Even if a big shot wants to meet the general, he must submit an application through her.
Ying is not a big shot, but she is very familiar with the powerful people in Narukami Taisha.
"Ah, it's the traveler. What brings you to Narukami Taisha again? If it's not necessary, I have to deny your application."
Paimeng was immediately surprised and said, "Hey, Miss Daocheng, what do you mean by necessary? Can't we just go in directly? We could have done it before."
Previously, it refers to the time when the general lived in Mingjin Taisha after the end of the Eye Hunting Order. At that time, ordinary worshippers could not enter the shrine, and Ying was allowed to enter with the permission of the priest.
After Daocheng Yingmei shook her head to indicate that facial recognition was not an option, Ying asked, "Can't we apply for it?"
Inashiro Hotaru showed the shrine in an awkward position: "It's not that I can't... but even I can't easily enter. Traveler, you can look over there. In fact, at this time, most of the shrine maidens of Narujin Taisha Shrine are asked not to stay inside the shrine for the time being."
"Huh?" The first to speak was Paimon. The white mascot looked in the direction Inashiro Hotaru pointed and saw quite a few priestesses.
Ying had seen those witches now, but she didn't think too much about it at that time. Now that she knew the reason, she was curious.
What is the reason that makes these priestesses have to come out? Priest, what are the Son of God doing?
"Then, Traveler, what should we do? We must deal with the matter of Youlezhai, right?" Paimon said nervously.
Ying looked at Daocheng Yingmei and said, "Is there no other way? We have an urgent matter."
"Yes, yes, we have an urgent matter. It is a commission given to us by the Son of God." Paimon explained hurriedly.
Daocheng Yingmei fell into thought: "Palace Master, didn't you tell us anything? Hmm... it was the priest who gave us something."
She took out a thousand paper cranes from her sleeve and said, "This is the communication tool given by the priest. There are three in total. He asked me not to use it unless it is urgent. Traveler, do you think your business is important?"
Before Ying could speak, Paimeng nodded quickly: "Very important, very important. This involves the lives and property of travelers."
"Paimon, don't be so exaggerated. But the matter is indeed very important." Ying said.
Daocheng Yingmei nodded to show that she understood, and then released a thousand paper cranes, whispered a few words on them, and started them randomly.
The white paper crane changed from static to dynamic, from a dead object to a living thing. It flapped its wings and flew up.
The target of the flight was naturally the interior of the shrine.
Taking advantage of the gap, Ying asked: "Excuse me, did anything happen inside the shrine?"
"Nothing serious happened. Maybe a lot of monsters came back two days ago." Considering the close relationship between Ying and the priest, Daocheng Yingmei gave a detailed explanation.
The story begins when Yae Miko returns to the shrine after a long absence. About half a day after she returns, a large number of monsters arrive at Yingxiang Mountain. If the priest had not come down the mountain with the general's order, those monsters might even have clashed with the warriors stationed on Yingxiang Mountain.
Later, the priestesses were explained that those monsters were memories left behind by monsters that died in battles in the past, and there was no need to panic.
In this regard, Daocheng Yingmei also complained that for contemporary shrine maidens, what they encounter on a daily basis is the pollution of demonic power. Monster? This term is limited to raccoon cats. As for other monsters, they are really unfamiliar and almost all exist in textbooks. The sudden appearance of so many monsters has a great impact on the thinking of shrine maidens.
——Everyone knows that the vast majority of Inazuma monsters died in battle one after another.
As Daocheng Yingmei explained, Ying kept nodding, and Paimon kept asking questions, even if the questions were superficial, Daocheng Yingmei would always answer them one by one.
What Paimon didn't know was that the way Inashiro Hotaru looked at her had changed, perhaps from the way she looked at an adult to the way she looked at a child?
Ying shook her head and was not going to tell Paimon this.
She calmed down and asked Youlezhai: "Why have you been silent?"
I don’t need to speak with my mouth, but ask questions through my thoughts. This is a skill I have only mastered in the past two days. It doesn’t require me to talk to myself in such a stupid way, which is quite good.
"I just don't know what to say. I've changed so much along the way... I didn't notice it before, but I noticed it now. Inazuma is not the Inazuma I remember."
'Youlezhai, don't be too sad.'
"I'm not very sad, I'm just sighing. Even the God of Thunder can fall, what else can I say?"
General Raiden was originally a pair of twin demon gods, but one of them died five hundred years ago.
Ying understood You Le Zhai's thoughts.
If even a powerful demon god can fall, is there anything else worth being surprised about in this world?
Ying and Paimon didn't have to wait long. After the thousand paper cranes flew in, a masked witch appeared.
That is, a shikigami belonging to the priest.
"Let her be."
A male voice came out of the miko shikigami. It was Li Mo's voice. "Hina, when the paper cranes run out, they will be replenished automatically."
"Hiramei understands." Daocheng Yingmei bowed slightly.
"Is that priest deeply loved by the priestesses? Isn't that little girl Miko the chief priest?"
"Yes, the Son of God is the chief priest. But in many cases, the Son of God does not take care of things, and it is the priests who handle it."
"That little girl is too lazy, isn't she? She would never be like this when Master Kitsai was here."
Kitsunasaigumi, the name of the previous chief priest of Narujin Taisha Shrine, died in battle five hundred years ago.
Ying learned about it from the priest by chance. She could never forget the complicated look in the priest's eyes when she mentioned "Koxai Palace".
Following the shrine maiden shikigami, he walked in. When he entered the courtyard in front of the sacred cherry tree, Ying understood why Daocheng Yingmei could not enter easily.
The small square is filled with all kinds of figures. They have many differences, but one thing in common - they are all monsters.
The monsters were all bound by invisible objects, and at first glance, they looked like they were being captured.
"Ah, Ying, you're finally here. It's just right, the only thing missing is the Yulezhai on you." said the priest standing in the center.
"Should I tell you to run away now?"
Before Ying could say anything, Youlezai said in her mind.
Chapter 463: Beginning
The word "monster" is both realistic and distant to the people of Inazuma. The only monsters active in Inazuma now are the raccoons. Most of the monsters died on the battlefield five hundred years ago.
Not to mention the priestess, even for Li Mo, a priest, the monster he has seen the most is this guy, the Son of God.
However, knowing that the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" will always appear, it is natural that we will see a large number of monsters.
It was the day after the Son of God returned, and the monsters returned to the Naruto Shrine one after another. With Li Mo's advance orders, the monsters would not clash with the stationed soldiers.
However, the first thing the monsters did after returning was not anything else but to pay homage to General Thunder. These monsters came back at different times, so you could see them saluting the general like an assembly line.
Probably something like, "Hello, General." "Stand up."
After returning to the shrine, Li Mo did not get involved, but stood in the corner of the shrine and watched the monsters.
These monsters are formed from the memories remaining in the sacred cherry tree. Strictly speaking, they are spiritual beings.
Flowing in multiple worlds, learning the mysteries of multiple worlds. Li Mo, who used the "pseudo-simulated star creation map-mysterious base" to integrate these mysteries, can identify them as undead.
The undead in the Type-Moon world refer to the ghosts left behind after a person dies, but they are just an aggregation of memories and recorded information from the past.
If those monsters are undead...
"What are you thinking about, little guy?"
"Nothing, Shenzi, shouldn't you be over there?"
"It's so boring over there. Really, these monsters were rude and rude to the general when they were alive. But after death, they became well-behaved and behaved. It's disgusting."
Li Mo listened to what Yae Shenzi said and shook his head, "It's not that serious."
The monsters in the historical books were not particular about small matters. They often did not care about etiquette in front of the generals, and the generals did not care either. However, that was far from the so-called rudeness and unreasonableness described by the Son of God.
One after another, the monsters whose memories were leaked because the roots of the sacred cherry tree were attacked by the beast hounds came to the Narukami Taisha Shrine.
Their essence is no different from the humans that Li Mo found when he was clearing out the beast hounds. It's just that their strength in life was stronger than that of humans, so they can last longer.
But it is like water without a source and a tree without roots. It can last longer by relying on accumulation. But, in time, it will wither.
After Ying dealt with the monsters, the monsters chose to recuperate and accumulate strength in order to prepare for the upcoming "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons".
