I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 307 Weird things
After coming out of the castle tower, the staff closed the main gate inside the castle tower, and the world in front of eyes suddenly dimmed, leaving only sporadic dim lights. However, since the castle tower is located at a relatively high altitude - after all, it is the castle of the ancient lord, it is basically the highest place in the area, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, you can see the night view of Fukuchiyama City from the Tongmen sentry post, with bright lights, night life, and stars in the summer night.

The view is quite good.

"These are all the attractions of the castle tower. Would you like to visit it for a while longer?"

"No, no, I'll leave now. Thank you for your hard work." Dong Ye Yu bowed slightly.

"Then I'll lock the door."

The staff member nodded, locked the door at the back, with a blank expression on his face, and did not look very happy - he had already got off work, and was about to have a big drink with his colleagues at the izakaya, but his boss called him back, and no one could be happy.

I don’t know if Takahashi and the others are still at Komachiya if I rush over now.

As he thought about this, he became extremely anxious. He immediately turned around and prepared to send away these kids from rich families who came from nowhere so that he could go back and continue drinking.

Turning around, the man in the high-end suit came towards me.

"I'm really sorry to bother you by asking you to come all the way here. This is a small gift from my young lady. Please accept it." He said, handing a beautifully packaged small bag to the staff.

The staff member was stunned for a second, took the gift, and looked inside. It was a gift box containing a high-end fountain pen.

Oh! It's Parker Century!
Be a particular person!

Although it is not as out of reach as other luxury goods, it is enough to buy half a month's salary. I would occasionally go to the mall to take a look at it, but I couldn't bear to buy it.

I didn't expect that I could get a Parker Century for free by working overtime for half an hour after canceling a drinking party. It was a pleasant surprise and my dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.

"You are so polite. I am so embarrassed to say this."

He showed a bright smile on his face, and bowed to the man repeatedly to express his gratitude while holding the bag. Then he looked at the blonde girl who was wearing a school uniform and looked to be of foreign descent and bowed to express his gratitude.

The girl glanced over and nodded slightly. The color of her eyes was like polar blue ice, and she had an unattainable temperament that made ordinary people feel ashamed.

If you find it, just be happy. Dong Yeyu glanced at it and saw that it was Miss Moon Witch. If it were him, just giving a little tip would be enough.

After coming out of the castle tower, Arima Tadayoshi stood at the entrance of the bronze gate sentry post. He stood at the top of the stairs and looked out at Fukuchiyama City with a confused look on his face. The difference between the Fukuchiyama in front of him and the Fukuchiyama in his memory was so great that it made him despair.

He thought of the historical relics on display in the castle tower and the introduction below, among which there were traces of himself. Could it be that he had really been dead for many years?

Higashino Yu used his mobile phone to search for other historical sites remaining in Fukuchiyama City.

"If it's not this place, there are four other scenic spots left in Fukuchiyama. Let's go through them one by one."

Then, he smiled at the man who was both the driver and the guide and said, "We'd like to trouble Mr. Shida to accompany us."

"It's okay. It's my job." Ryohei Sugida replied with a smile. Several people walked down the stairs, ready to go to the next ruins scenic area.

“This is the last ancient monument.”

Ryohei Sugida introduced while standing in the dry landscape garden of the mansion.

This used to be the villa of the Lord of Fukuchiyama Castle, but after several twists and turns, the daimyo actually had no descendants - in ancient times, it was actually very normal to have no descendants. Not to mention the daimyo of island countries, even the royal families of China often had to pass the throne to other relatives because of the extinction of their descendants.

The villa fell into the hands of a businessman.

At the end of the last century, the merchant's family fell into decline, and his descendants were unable to afford the renovation of the house and the annual taxes, so they sold the house to a collector.

The collector simply renovated it and opened it to the public as a private museum.

He had thought that seeing the city lord who had betrayed the normal school end up without an heir might help him fulfill his wish. After coming here and learning about the changes in history, the old man did feel relieved, but it seemed that he still had an obsession that he could not shake off.

But once again he accepted the fact that he was dead.

I don’t know how many times I have accepted death. It seems like there is something wrong with Shifan’s memory.

Higashino Yu, Asumi Sanae, and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami briefly visited the small private museum, and when they saw that Shihan seemed to be thinking about leaving, they walked out of the mansion together.

When Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami saw that Arima Tadayasu's soul was still there, he knew that his goal had not been achieved. He looked at Higashino Yu and asked softly, "What should we do now?"

Dong Ye Yu was also a little confused. He had already walked around the city and there should be no place he had missed. Could it be in the mountains?
Ryohei Sugida drove over to a parking lot in the distance and asked, "Miss, do you want to go back to the mountains to continue your group study? Or do you want to stay in the city first?"

Asumi saw Sanae looking at Higashino Yu when she heard that.

Dong Yeyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back."

After all, it was a study camp organized by the school. If people knew that Sanae and the other two went out late at night, it would damage their reputation.

After that, since there were no outsiders around, Dong Yeyu looked at Arima Tadayasu and bowed slightly: "It seems that there is no place you want to go in Fukuchiyama City. It is late tonight. I will take you to the mountains tomorrow night. Please go back to the sword box to rest first."

"Thank you for your hard work, Dongye-kun."

Arima Tadayasu returned the gift, then turned into a white light and returned to the sword case slung over Higashino Yu's shoulder.

Ryohei Sugida, who was sitting in the car, looked at the scene in astonishment. Is this a ghost?
He thought of what his sister had said to him before, 'If Dong Ye-kun were here, something strange might happen. Don't make a fuss and don't embarrass our family.'

No, you call this something weird?
At twelve o'clock late in the night, Dong Yeyu and others took a bus back to the hotel.

The class teacher, Oura Ryuji, received their news in advance and was waiting at the hotel gate. When he saw a car approaching, he quickly looked around and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw three students getting out of the car.

There have been some rumors about this boy Higashino Yu and his classmate Asumi from Class A, and now he is very close to his classmate Jinguji from Class F. If he gets pregnant out of his youth, even if he didn't approve of the leave, he would still be held jointly responsible as the class teacher.

Apart from anything else, at least he could no longer stay in Tachibana High School. He might even be forced to become a teacher in the countryside, where he would never be able to hold his head up high again.

Fortunately, I'm back.

Thinking this, he hurried to meet him.

"Please be careful on the road." Asumi Sanae whispered to Sugida Ryohei.

Ryohei Sugida nodded, said goodbye to Higashino Yu and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami, then stepped on the accelerator and the car sped out towards Tianshui Town.

Having just seen a ghost, he didn't want to drive at night. The town was not far away anyway, so he could just stay there for the night and go back during the day.

"Is everything okay?" Oura Ryuji pulled Higashino Yu to one side and asked Higashino Yu meaningfully, winking at him as he spoke.

I'm wondering what you're thinking about.

Middle-aged man with a shabby face. Dong Yeyu understood instantly and was a little speechless, but he still explained seriously: "It's okay, we originally wanted to visit the scenic spots in the city, but we didn't expect that we were stuck in traffic and delayed some time."

Traffic jam? Haha.

As a person who has experienced this, Oura Ryuji naturally doesn't believe it. However, although Higashino-kun has occasionally been a little out of line this semester, he is generally a very calm and decent person. He would not do something like two-timing and getting someone pregnant.

"I'm glad you're alright. I believe in Higashino-kun. Go back to your room and get some rest. Tomorrow morning at 8:30, classes will officially start. Ahem, it's a joint study camp. Your final exam results will be announced then, and your scholarships will be distributed as well."

After saying this, he patted Dong Yeyu's arm, turned and walked towards the hotel.

Scholarship? Don't I have to go back to school to apply and wait a while?

This was a pleasant surprise. Higashino Yu was calculating how much money he could earn, and came to Asumi Sanae and Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami.

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't solve the problem in the end and made you make this trip for nothing."

Asumi Sanae rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you, Sir Knight, really feel sorry for this, please don't just apologize."

“It cancels out.”

"What was offset?" Asumi saw Sanae was puzzled at first, then stunned, as if she remembered something. She stared at Higashino Yu with wide eyes, and her fair and rosy cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"abnormal!"

She kicked Dong Yeyu lightly on the calf, then ran back to the hotel.

Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami also pursed her lips, and her delicate little ears were all red.

She lowered her eyebrows and asked calmly, "What are you going to do next? The old man's spirit seems to have..."

Dong Yeyu hesitated for two seconds and said, "I plan to investigate Fuchi Mountain. I will find some time tomorrow to ask the monsters in the mountain. Maybe I can find something."

"If there's anything I can help you with, please speak up."

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who would rather save face than suffer. By the way, about the information about Oeyama."

Dong Ye Yu rubbed his hands and looked at the girl somewhat embarrassedly - it was indeed a bit strange to tell others about instigating someone's daughter to secretly read the family's secrets.

"There has been some progress, but the information is very mixed and disorganized. I will sort it out and give it to you after I return from this joint study camp."

Wow, is it so efficient? Dong Yeyu thought he would have to wait for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would already be at the stage of sorting out the information.

"I owe you a big favor now."

"Please don't say that." Jinguji Hiiragi Kagami said seriously: "I owe you more favors."

Dong Yeyu waved his hand: "We are good friends who have been together for quite some time, don't take it to heart."

Jinguji Hiiragi pursed her red lips slightly: "Then don't say you owe me a favor."

"My, my, but I still want to thank you, Hiiragi Jing." Higashino Yu just thanked her, and then said goodbye to her briefly, and then they each went back to their rooms.

Dong Yeyu swiped his card and pushed open the door. The room was dark and the curtains were drawn, but the windows were not closed. Gusts of night wind fluttered the curtains, and the silver-gray moonlight shone in. The atmosphere was quite quiet and peaceful.

Take a few steps inside.

At this time, Arima Norimune and the others had already fallen asleep. There were four rows of beds in the Japanese-style room. Imagawa Kashiwagi and Shimada Chiita were lying on the beds, while Arima Norimune was sleeping in a very poor posture, lying on his back with his legs spread out, and the quilt thrown to the side.

But since it's summer, it's probably nothing to worry about.

Dongye Yu tiptoed across their bed and came to the window. He closed the shoji door to create a small space and turned on the desk lamp. The warm yellow light immediately blocked out the moonlight and night outside the window.

Dong Ye Yu sat on the chair and began to practice tonight, while also being alert to any demons that might appear around him.

It has been several months since I entered the Yin Shen realm. I gradually have a sense of security. Looking inward, I find that most of the magic power in my dantian that was originally as thick as fog has condensed and turned into a large lake.

It was probably because I stayed in the stage of refining essence into qi for too long - after all, it takes a normal human being a hundred days to build a foundation, but I spent more than ten years on it.

It was as if his foundation had been tamped by a tamping machine. Most of the accumulation that should have been made in the Yin Shen realm had already been made during the foundation-building period. Therefore, once he entered the Yin Shen realm, his cultivation speed could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

At this rate, it would take less than a year to reach the state of Yin Shen perfection, which is much faster than expected when I first started to refine Qi and transform into Shen.

At that time, based on my own cultivation speed when I was building my foundation, it would take a decade to perfect the Yin God. Looking back now, this judgment is a bit conservative.

Of course, it is not only because of the solid foundation, but another important factor is that the spiritual energy of the world is recovering rapidly.

In just three months, the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth has increased several times compared to before, and the quality of the sun's essence and the moon's essence is also increasing visibly to the naked eye.

The most obvious thing is the progress of his Yin God transforming into pure Yang.

It was originally thought that it might take a thousand years to transform the Yin Spirit into pure Yang. At the current speed, it will probably only take three hundred years to do it. If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes more abundant, the speed may be even faster.

However, this is only in theory. There seems to be a threshold that is difficult to cross from Yin God to Yang God. This threshold is like a sieve that filters out most practitioners. It is probably not enough to accumulate hard work.

The next day, Dong Yeyu calculated that it was almost sunrise so he stopped practicing and began to wait. The sky soon turned pale, and then he sensed thousands of purple air coming from the east.

Dong Ye Yu quickly held his breath and concentrated, picking up one of them and observing for a moment. Sure enough, the solar essence contained in the purple air today was a little more than yesterday. The increase was difficult to detect, but it could still be felt if observed carefully.

If other practitioners felt such changes, they would surely become more excited.

Dong Ye Yu thought about it and began to refine the purple energy.

He had been collecting and refining purple energy for many years and was already familiar with the process. He quickly refined the purple energy and felt refreshed, as if his understanding of the world had advanced a step further.

He stretched and pushed open the shoji door. Arima Norimune and the other two were still sleeping soundly.

"Is it six o'clock already?" Higashino Yu looked at the time, went to wash up first, then returned to the room and pushed Arima Norimune, ready to wake them up and have breakfast together, and then start today's study.

"Hey, Arima, time to wake up."

After pushing him twice, he didn't wake up. Higashino Yu frowned and pushed Imagawa Kashiwagi and Shimada Tomo, but they still didn't wake up no matter how hard he pushed. It was as if they were in a deep sleep.

It's broken. Something seems to have happened.
