I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 246 There will be no pie in the sky

“You can repay their descendants 60 years from now, and it will be the same,” she said.

Dong Yeyu smiled and said, "This is indeed a way of repaying a favor, but maybe I can convince the gods, but I can't convince myself."

If I have achieved success in my spiritual practice sixty years later, how should I face those benefactors?
By then, I will go to visit those familiar people and see them lying on their sickbeds in old age, recalling the bitter past with a dull look on their faces, waiting for death with all the regrets, big and small, they have experienced in the past sixty years.
What's the point of repaying their kindness to their descendants?

It's just a matter of closing the fold after the sheep have been lost, the person is already gone.

Higashino Yu felt guilty and ashamed just thinking about it, let alone if he hid in the shrine, what would happen to Asumimi, Jinguji, Arima, Imagawa and others, his close friends?
Unconsciously, I have formed bonds with many people and am no longer the wild fox that used to wander around and go wherever it wants.

Shuten-doji and the demons under his command are all wicked as festering wickedness, and are all beasts without morals or righteousness. Eating a human alive is just a piece of cake for them. When the time comes, I will hide in the shrine, and they will not be able to do anything to me, so they will definitely torture those who are close to me to vent their anger.

Chun Yuan was silent for a few seconds after hearing this.

Dong Ye Yu couldn't see her expression behind the mask, but he could feel her gaze. At the same time, there was a huge pressure like real pressure pressing on his head.

For a moment, the entire Ayasezaka seemed to be quiet, with only the rustling sound of the treetops in the night wind remaining.

After a long time, she saw Dong Yeyu remained silent and unshakable, and whispered softly: "This is probably why He chose you."

"Who? Inaho-hime-no-Mikoto? Come to think of it, I haven't even seen Him yet."

Dong Ye Yu naturally knew that Chun Yuan’s repeated help to him could not be just because they were both fox demons. It was probably because of the instructions of the great god Inari. Could it be that this god was excited to see the prey and wanted to make him his messenger?
"When you choose to become Gozen Inari, you will be able to meet Him."

Chun Yuan pulled out a unique talisman from his sleeves. The talisman itself was made up of smoky white auspicious clouds, and it seemed to have no substance. Golden divine words appeared from time to time in the auspicious clouds.

"This talisman is a life-saving treasure given to me by Princess Inaho in her early years. It can shrink the earth into an inch and make the world seem like a distant place. If you are surrounded by demons outside, you can use this talisman to return to the shrine."

Is there such a treasure scroll? Dong Yeyu walked over and observed it for a few seconds, the golden light of the treasure scroll reflected in his eyes.

"I am so sorry. Ahem, I am so ashamed. I have troubled you every time. I will never forget your kindness. If I can survive this disaster, I will definitely repay you in the future. If I unfortunately die in the hands of the monster, I will work like a cow or a horse in the next life and repay you with a favor."

Dong Ye Yu said this and was about to reach out his hand.

Chun Yuan dodged him with the talisman in hand and said seriously, "You only have one chance to be willful. After using this talisman, you must stay at the shrine and serve Princess Inaho. Even after becoming the Imperial Inari, you cannot leave your post at will. Do you agree?"

I knew there would be no free lunch in the world. Dong Yeyu's heart skipped a beat. As he listened to her, he had a sense of déjà vu of the maids selling their bodies in ancient times.

Isn't this exactly the same as what happened to Taodong when she fell into Youkuofang?

The only difference is that the sacred money is replaced with precious scrolls.

"Isn't it possible to repay a favor by working like a slave?" Dong Ye Yu asked tentatively.

Haruhara shook his head: "Your becoming Gozen Inari is a way of repaying Inaho-hime-no-Mikoto. Although Inaho-hime-no-Mikoto has a high status among the Kunitsu gods, she is very short of manpower."

"But I'm just a small wild fox. If you're short of manpower, why doesn't Inaho-hime-no-Mikoto go and recruit and subdue those big monsters?"

Dongye Yu was puzzled. If he wanted to help a god of Inahohime's level, he would have to at least become a Four-Tails like Chunyuan, that is, achieve the realm of Yangshen Zhenren.

Even if the Shangqing Lingbao Dongxuan Sutra is complete, I estimate that I will have to practice for a hundred or eighty years before I have the chance to transform my Yin spirit into pure Yang.

There is no way. Although the spiritual energy of this world is slowly recovering, it is still too little now. There is only a little purple energy every morning. If you want to transform the Yin God into pure Yang with this little purple energy, it will take at least a hundred years.

Either take drugs, or, not to mention ginseng fruit or peaches, at least get treasures like the fire dates that the old man of longevity can eat.

Of course, Taishang Laojun's Nine-Turn Golden Pill can also work. After taking the golden pill, the Yin Spirit will be transformed into pure Yang immediately.

"He has taken a liking to you since the first time he saw you. I didn't understand the meaning at first, but I just thought that God had his own considerations."

Chun Yuan said this and glanced at Dong Yeyu: "But now I probably understand why He likes you."

She muttered to herself, then placed the treasure scroll in front of Dong Yeyu. The slowly flickering divine text illuminated the fox mask on her face. The fox eyes outlined by colored lines had both the majesty of a god and the cunning of a fox. The laziness in her voice faded away, leaving only determination: "How?"

Higashino Yu looked at the pair of eyes drawn with simple lines, and felt as if he had become Fox Romash Hellscream, facing the temptation of Huerdan.

Agree, this is the fate of the fox.

Dong Ye Yu was a little hesitant. He was cultivating the way of immortality. If he became a messenger of God, that would be too far off the mark. Besides, he could not leave his post without permission. What was the difference between that and going to work?

If I have been practicing cultivation but still have to go to work as a worker, then wouldn’t my practice be in vain?
But the demons in Dajiangshan are indeed
After thinking carefully for ten minutes, Dong Yeyu nodded: "Okay."

After all, it is not necessary to join Gozen Inari myself, but after using this treasure scroll, there is no way out.

You can first keep this treasure scroll as a life-saving magic weapon, and then go to talk to Yuanjun about it. As long as you don't use this treasure scroll, it is equivalent to obtaining a life-saving item at no cost. You will get an extra life for free, which is still very cost-effective.

If in the end those demons are as strong as monsters and I cannot defeat them even if I try my best, I can only use this treasure scroll. As for tomorrow, Jinguji and the others, let them all come to the shrine to become shrine maidens.

Seeing that he agreed, Chun Yuan did not ask him to swear an oath. For practitioners, the price of breaking an oath is usually too high to bear. In the least, the practice will come to an end, and in the worst case, one will suffer a calamity and die.

She didn't seem to be afraid that the fox in front of her would go back on his word, and casually placed the treasure scroll in his palm: "Take care of yourself."

Just as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew past, ruffling Dong Yeyu's hair. The guard forest swayed in the dark night, and the wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the palace jingled.

Chun Yuan's figure disappeared, leaving only the mysterious treasure scroll lying quietly in Dong Yeyu's palm as proof of his presence. Dong Yeyu squatted on the stone step behind the torii and studied it for a while. It was as light as a ball of cotton, and it felt like touching clouds and mist when he reached out to touch it. It was cool. He put it into his dantian and used his magic power to warm it up and practice, so that he could trigger the treasure scroll as quickly as possible to escape in times of crisis.

Are you dead, Shuten-doji? You made me sign half of the contract to sell my body. When I become an immortal, I will drag your mother out of the underworld and expose her to the sun for a full 180 days!

And your father, the Nine-Headed Dragon, right? Wait, I will kick you off the throne, and don't even think about keeping your nine heads, I will chop them all off for you!
Higashino Yu cursed viciously in his heart, Shuten-doji is a demon, his parents are also unclean, kill them all!
After sulking for a while, Dongye Yu came to the long-dead Ling Zhao, silently took off the human skin from the fox demon, and picked up the skin from the beautiful girl's head, pieced it together and folded it up. He planned to ask Grandma Tomoko for some needle and thread tomorrow to seal it up and take it to Taoxiang for a memorial service and burial.

Although we don't know who she is or what her name is, it's pitiful that even after her death, this fox demon is still carrying her skin around and she can't rest in peace.

As for this fox demon, I'll take it to the demon market in Taoxiang tomorrow and sell it, which can be considered as making good use of waste.

After Dong Ye Yu dealt with the scene, considering that it was not easy to bring remains such as the corpse of a demon and the skin of a beautiful girl into the divine realm, he simply placed them next to a small pavilion not far from the torii gate, and took out the leaves that Taodong gave to him for the raccoon cat clan to use for transformation from the space of the gratitude system, and placed them on the fox demon to cast a spell.

The hideous corpse instantly transformed into a ferocious dog with an iron chain and a shrine collar, curled up beside the pavilion and fast asleep.

Anyway, I will set off after practicing tomorrow morning. With the illusion here, I am not afraid of being seen by anyone.

After doing all this, Higashino Yu turned and walked into the torii gate.

The night breeze after the rain in the forest is cool and has a unique freshness. The dark clouds are torn into pieces by the strong wind and drift away. The moonlight is like a jade plate after being washed by the rain. Tokyo has never been so quiet.

As Higashino Yu was strolling along the approach to the shrine, he suddenly thought of a question.

What if Yuanjun also wants to be his messenger in exchange for magic weapons?
Dong Yeyu thought for two seconds and couldn't think of a solution. Anyway, if you have a magic weapon, then I definitely want it. As for who to work for,
talk later.

There will always be a way when you reach the mountain, and there will always be a way when you reach the bridge. They can't possibly cut me in half, can they?
The sky was just beginning to turn pale, and Dong Ye Yu, who was lying on the tatami, felt that the purple air between heaven and earth was about to arrive, so he ended his night practice and exhaled a stream of white air from his mouth and nose, which lingered for a long time.

I opened my phone and checked the time. It was almost five o'clock. It always gets light early in the summer.

So he got up, made his bedding, and left the room.

At this time, the outside world was still shrouded in a deep blue twilight, and the town forest was filled with the chirping of birds and insects, but the lights in Iori's room were already on.

An old lady in kimono walked out of the room and went to the kitchen, apparently to prepare breakfast. Old man Iori put on the priest's court robe, a black gauze hat on his head, and a jade tablet in his hand. He walked along the corridor towards the shrine. On the way, he saw Higashino Yu coming out of the room and nodded with a smile.

"Did Ayu sleep well last night? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Thanks to you, it feels like home."

Dong Yeyu was quite moved when he saw that the old man was really going to hold a divine sacrifice for him immediately. He smiled and nodded, then explained: "Practicing in the morning is very helpful for cultivation. It can absorb the essence of the sun and achieve the purpose of harmonizing yin and yang."

Dong Yeyu's words seemed to make old man Iori fall into memories. He looked at Dong Yeyu's stunned expression, and came back to his senses after a few seconds. He smiled apologetically: "Back then, Yuzi's father also practiced hard day and night. He is the most talented successor of the Iori family in recent generations. It's a pity."

When he said this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, unwilling to say anything more. He pointed to the shrine and said, "I'm going to the shrine to prepare for the demon-repelling prayer ceremony. I won't disturb you from practicing, Ayu."

Shrine festivals are divided into regular large festivals, temporary large festivals, regular medium festivals, and regular small festivals. Temporary large festivals such as the Exorcism and Prayer Festival require a lot of preparation, not only to prepare offerings to the gods, but also to organize the performance of Kagura.

Dong Yeyu replied: "I will come to help you prepare after I finish my training."

Iori Tadamichi nodded and strode away in his priest's court robes.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Dong Yeyu came to Yuzi's room. The light in her room was on, and it seemed that she was awake, so he knocked on the door: "Yuzi, are you ready?"

Although the meridians and spiritual orifices on half of Yuzi's body were badly damaged, it did not affect his daily use of purple energy to cleanse his soul, so morning practice was still necessary.

"Enough."

Yu Zi's hazy voice came from the room, as if she was still not fully awake. She answered in a daze. Soon, the rustling sound of clothes was heard, followed by footsteps.

Wow!

The shoji door of the room was opened, and Miko was wearing a white dress with the sash hanging on her shoulders. Her lovely white shoulders and delicate collarbones were shining with a breathtaking luster under the light in the room, which made people dazzled in a trance.

However, the slightly curly and thick burgundy hair that looked like the hair of a little lion, and the pouting mouth that seemed to be complaining about the pain of getting up early, the childishness of a junior high school student restrained the budding youthful charm.

She didn't have a cane, and her white feet were bare. One hand was leaning against the shoji door, and with the other hand she was rubbing her sleepy eyes, and she whispered, "Good morning, Tono Nissan."

"Let's go. Do you remember the method I taught you a few days ago? Do you practice it every day?"

"Yes, but at the beginning, you can only see those light gods, but you can't catch them."

The two of them moved two small chairs and walked one after the other in the corridor of Iori's house, chatting about some things related to training, and came to a nice place on Ayasezaka.

It is located on a hillside not far behind the Iori family's courtyard, facing the place where the sun rises, overlooking Tokyo with a wide view. Moreover, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the shrine is far more abundant than that in the outside world. Even in Tokyo, it is a very suitable place for cultivation.

"Use your mind to catch it, not just imagine it. The process is like imagining that you catch the light and then put it into the air."

Dong Yeyu put away two folding chairs and sat down next to her, trying to describe the process of refining purple energy in easy-to-understand words.

As Yu Zi listened, her eyes fell on the handsome and bright face of the young man in front of her. Suddenly, she started to have wild thoughts in her mind: Could it be A Yu?
"Don't be distracted." Higashino Yu noticed that Yuko's eyes were gradually losing focus and becoming dull, so he tapped the girl's head with his fingers.

"Yoko wasn't distracted, she was thinking." Yoko covered her head and spoke softly, trying to argue seriously.
