Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

"We don't have the people they need in our team this time, so it's likely that they will attack this cable car directly." Taiyi warned, "Xian, you'd better cover yourself completely under the cloak."

"Yeah! I get it. You don't have to worry about me." Xin Tiao Qian patted her backpack and replied, "Auntie will protect me too."

It can be seen that she has a very good relationship with Aunt Shimabukuro.

When the cable car stopped at the Yugong-mae station, Taichi and Akane Shinjo both got off the cable car with grim expressions.

They couldn't remember how many evil spirits they had been surrounded by along the way.

The evil spirits on the mountain at night are not only extremely ferocious, but also behave violently and disorderly.

Several times, his appearance reminded Taichi and Akane Shinjo of horror movies they had seen before.

"Tsk, these guys really seem to have lost their rationality." Mordred stretched his arms and sighed, "Even though so many of their companions were killed in one go, they showed no intention of retreating."

Taiyi didn't say much, just turned on the flashlight and shone the light on the map.

"Go up, pass through a place called Jigu, and then pass through the Great Disaster Realm, and you will reach the Other Shore Lake." Taiyi tapped the location of the Other Shore Lake on the map, "This is the land that suppresses Yequan and isolates the hidden world and the present world."

"I'm ready and can go at any time." Akane Shinjo, who also held a flashlight in her hand and shone the light ahead, nodded naturally and said.

She had changed her shoes into rain boots.

Although it is not as convenient for walking as previous shoes, it is more suitable for wading.

At this time, the sun was rising over the mountain at night, and at some point it began to drizzle.

When the flashlight shone forward, Taiyi's hand suddenly shook.

A young woman in white wedding attire was standing within the range of the beam of light and looking over here.

It looks like coming to welcome guests.

"She is..." Taiyi was about to turn around to remind his companions, but he found that he was the only one standing there.

Mordred, Minamoto no Raikou, and Akane Shinjo are missing.

Even trying to contact Mordred, Minamoto no Raikou and X through mental conference was unsuccessful.

I reached into my pocket and tried to touch my phone...but there was nothing in my pocket.

"I'm so sorry." The White Wife walked in front of Taiyi with small steps and bowed slightly. "Because I was mostly distracted by the things I had to do during the day, I didn't notice your presence."

"Your name is... Master Taichi, right?"

"When a little girl meets the world, Kurosawa meets the world."

Even though she was wearing a white wedding gown, her face, which was still plainly made up, suddenly broke into a gentle smile.

The corners of his eyebrows were also curved due to his smile.

But Taiyi only felt a tingling sensation in his heart.

As soon as I got off the car, I met with the big boss alone.

Moreover, the other party used some unknown method to isolate himself from other people.

Taiyi suddenly felt unsure and wanted to curse.

The Shadow Mage of Gouri!

Chapter 52: Shadow Mage, you have done so many bad things!

"How did you do it?" Taiyi forced himself to calm down and looked at Kurosawa Fengshi and asked, "It's easy to separate me from my companions, but it's difficult to lose contact with them."

"Master Taiichi must have misunderstood something." Kurosawa Fengshi shook his head slightly and replied, "You have never been separated from your companions, nor have you lost contact with them."

"It's just that you are in a 'dream' and you don't realize it for the moment."

"In a dream? You mean, I'm dreaming now?" Taiyi looked at Kurosawa Fengshi in surprise and asked.

"That's right." Kurosawa Fengshi nodded and replied, "The moment you saw my existence, I had already brought you into your dream."

"It's just a thousand years in a dream, and only a moment in the real world, so you haven't been awakened by your companions yet." Kurosawa Fengshi continued to explain, and after discovering that Taichi was trying to wake him up from the dream by violent means, he persuaded him, "Although it is a dream, it is a lucid dream. The five senses are still connected, so you can still feel the pain."

"You can do this while my companions are protecting me?" Taiyi asked Kurosawa Fengye with some surprise.

"I don't know if it was because of my attire or because the difference between me and other spirits was too obvious, but you all lost consciousness for a moment when you saw me." Kurosawa Fengshi explained, "The woman who looked like a former general was the first to come to her senses and killed my consciousness with a single blow. This happened in reality."

"If the you that I saw was killed, then what about you who is communicating with me in my dream now?" Taiyi asked in confusion, looking at Kurosawa Fengye who did not show any hostility towards him.

"It's another consciousness." Kurosawa Fengshi answered every question, "In the beginning, there were two of my consciousnesses standing there."

"The moment you fell asleep, I followed you in, and the other one was killed."

"To make me fall asleep?" Taiyi became more and more confused.

"Yes, just to allow Lord Taiichi to enter your dream." Kurosawa Fengye replied.

"why?"

"Because Yequan told me that you are the most suitable person for a secret marriage with me." Kurosawa Fengshi replied with a smile.

"...Huh?" Taiyi had a dazed look on his face.

"In fact, I almost couldn't hold on any longer." Kurosawa Fengye suddenly changed the subject, "It was probably more than ten years ago? Or was it several decades ago? I can't remember clearly, but at that time my spirit was shattered by all kinds of 'pain of death', and even my rationality couldn't be maintained for too long."

"But just when I was about to choose a successor before I lost all my rationality, the inhuman being who called himself the 'Shadow Mage' came to me."

"He used some power I don't understand to separate my 'love heart' and 'twisted heart'."

"I think his original intention was to try to gain Night Spring's power by controlling me, but for some reason, when my whole self was split, Night Spring made up for the missing part of me and the other side."

“It didn’t turn out well for him.”

"Both parts of my strength have made substantial leaps, so much so that the shadow mage can't affect me."

“But at the same time, it also had a bad impact on the situation on Rishang Mountain.”

"Part of me wants to escape from my duties and let the night spring flow into the real world."

"The other part is to continue to uphold our duties and suppress Yequan into seclusion."

“So, there started to be a dispute between the two parts of me.”

"Are you the one who continues to perform his duties?" Taiyi suddenly interrupted Kurosawa Fengye and asked.

"That's right." Kurosawa Fengshi nodded and replied, "That's why I brought you into my dream, hoping to get your promise to have a secret marriage with you."

"Why me?" Taiyi continued to ask.

"I don't know either, but Yequan told me that you are the most suitable person for my secret marriage." Hei Ze Feng Shi replied, "I believe in Yequan."

"You are the witch who suppresses Yequan and prevents him from transitioning between the secluded and present worlds? And now you tell me that you believe in Yequan?" Taiyi had an expression that said 'I'm a little confused'.

"Yequan cannot communicate." Kurosawa Fengshi shook his head and explained, "What I mean by trusting Yequan is that I believe in the warnings given to me by the Yequan that makes up for me."

"It's a warning that it's eager to merge with you... or to say, it wants to return to your body as soon as possible." Kurosawa Fengye also looked confused.

"...I suddenly have a guess." Taichi swallowed and looked at Kurosawa Fengshi, "You are not the combination of the separated 'Twisted Heart' and Yequan, right?"

The smile on Kurosawa Fuyo's face disappeared.

"Your speculation is completely correct." Kurosawa Fengshi nodded expressionlessly and replied, "I have a twisted heart, a twisted heart that wants to continue to fulfill the duties of a miko and a human pillar. The part of Yequan complements my rationality, so I look like I can communicate."

"And Renmuxin...she desperately wants to escape from her duties and go find the man that Kurosawa Aise once loved."

"I have tried several times to get Ren Muxin to complete the 'ghost marriage', to fulfill her wish in a different way, so that the two of us can be reunited and become the complete Kurosawa Aise... but that bastard ruined my plans every time and caused the person who participated in the 'ghost marriage' to die."

"So, she was suppressed by me in the center of the other side of the lake earlier."

"But for some reason, the more I suppress her, the stronger her resistance becomes. To be honest, I can no longer control her."

"So, finding a successor to the Jin-Haku, or finding someone who can help me complete my ghost marriage more smoothly, is what I am focusing on now."

"Although the means were a bit rough, you, the Redeemer, still set foot on Rishang Mountain at night."

"Is your target me? Not those candidates for the human pillar?" Taichi looked at Kurosawa Fengye in surprise and asked.

Kurosawa Fengshi shook his head slightly.

"Although there are some with good qualifications among them...but none of them are capable of taking on the responsibility of becoming my successor."

"At best, I can take on the responsibility of the center pillar."

Taiyi nodded thoughtfully.

"But why didn't you intercept me after I climbed the mountain during the day? Instead, you took the trouble to wait for me to climb the mountain at night?"

"During the day, I use all my strength to suppress my love, so I can't spare any energy." Kurosawa Fengshi explained, "But at night, when I go to the Hijo Mountain, my strength will surge, so I can spare some energy to communicate with you."

"Let me stop the explanation here, Master Taiyi. Could you please follow me to the house of marriage and complete the ceremony of ghost marriage?" Kurosawa Fengshi asked Taiyi with his cold eyes fixed on him.

But at this moment, Taiyi wanted to know something else.

From whom did Shadow Mage get the Night Spring Water?

Also, will the ability of Love Heart also increase dramatically at night?

Chapter 53: The ritual of a secret marriage is not important

A secret marriage is impossible.

No matter from which era's perspective, this thing is unlucky.

Although Taiyi repeatedly assured that he had already come up with a solution to the problem that Kurosawa Fengye was currently worried about, the other party didn't believe him.

She is obsessed with feudal superstition and wants to have a ghost marriage with Taiyi.

Taiyi refused to obey, so he turned around and ran, trying to find a way to wake himself up from the 'dream'.

As a result, after running a few steps, he found himself inexplicably in a fairly familiar house.

That is to say, there is a coffin missing next to it, otherwise the scene would be a complete replica.

A home for bonding, a room for bonding.

It is the room where Hinasaki Crimson is found.

And Taichi's clothes also turned into a traditional Japanese wedding dress.

"Isn't this my dream?" Taiyi asked in surprise, looking at Kurosawa Fengye who suddenly appeared in a kneeling position on the mat.

"When did I say this was your dream?" Kurosawa Fengshi asked back, "I just said you were dreaming, but I never said this dream was yours."

"On the contrary, you were brought into my dream." Kurosawa Fengshi suddenly changed his name, "After all, I am not stupid. I knew that you had a entanglement with the three warriors who were also spirits but appeared in materialized forms that I could not understand, but I still entered your dream without permission."

"In my dream, it is naturally my home court." Kurosawa Fengshi gently waved his sleeves, indicating the cushion beside him, "So, please sit down."

Taiyi just blinked his eyes and found that his position had changed again.

"Can't we discuss it again?" Taiyi asked Kurosawa Fengye with a frown.

"When did you have the illusion that 'distorted will can be resolved through negotiation'?" Kurosawa Fengye put on a false smile.

The ghost of a familiar old lady, Yume, suddenly appears.

In front of Taichi and Kurosawa Fengye each appeared a small wine glass filled with half a cup of Yequan water.

"Although the whole process is very complicated, this is a dream after all, so it can be simplified appropriately. As long as the ceremony is completed smoothly, it will be fine." Kurosawa Fengshi picked up the small wine glass and slightly tilted his head to look at Taiyi, "I hope you can understand the situation."

"You are the one who is ignorant! Evil spirit!" A holy light suddenly appeared from Taiyi's head. "If we hadn't noticed that the Master's consciousness had been intercepted, we would never have thought that you would dare to force the Master into this illusion."

Joan of Arc appeared between Taichi and Kurosawa Fuyo, waving a flagpole, and swept towards Kurosawa Fuyo.

"Tsk!" Kurosawa Fengshi's face changed, and his figure disappeared before the flag spear swept him.

"How did you get in here?" Kurosawa Fengshi appeared on the other side of Taiyi, and put a hand on Taiyi's shoulder and stared at Jeanne and questioned, "You were obviously not invited by me."

At this time, the night spring water in the two small wine glasses had disappeared.

Taiyi even noticed a strange feeling in his throat, as if some liquid had just slid through it.

"I'm not someone who can enter here without an invitation." Jeanne glared at Kurosawa Fengshi sternly, "I advise you to leave the Master's side."

"Jeanne, although time is a bit tight, this is not the time to procrastinate." Taiyi suddenly said, "Let's transform."

Otherwise, with all of my abilities blocked, I would not be able to escape the control of this illusion's big boss, Kurosawa Fengshi.

"Jeanne d'Arc——!" Taiyi deliberately used French to call Jeanne d'Arc's name this time.

"What--!" Kurosawa Fengye was just about to use a more powerful control technique on Taichi, but before he could do anything, he was burned by the golden flames that suddenly rose from Taichi's body and was forced to retreat back repeatedly.
