Although Hu Zhaigong was saddened by the passing of his friend, he had anticipated this day.
However, I’m afraid I won’t be in the mood to play during the upcoming summer festival.
On the other hand, after talking to his friend, Hibiki Asase was able to vent a lot of his depression.
Lin Ye asked her to have a good sleep, and then left with Lingshanfang.
Walking along the circular corridor of the shrine, Lin Ye saw Kitsunayagiya standing under a withered cherry tree.
"How is Xiaoxiang doing?" Hu Zhaigong asked calmly.
When Lin Ye heard Hu Zhaigong's voice, he recalled the conversation he had with Hu Zhaigong a few days ago. The old man's wife didn't have much time left, and Hu Zhaigong said it calmly and objectively, as if he was not moved by life and death.
Now that her friend from Huzhai Palace has passed away, her voice remains calm.
But at this moment, without the mask covering her, Lin Ye saw that there was no smile on her face and all her emotions were restrained.
"Already asleep."
"Ah."
"..."
Lingshanfang was able to read people's expressions very rarely, and her intuition told her that Kitsusai Palace had something to say to Linye. She muttered that she was going to find Chiyo and left.
Only Linye and Huzhai Palace are left.
"I plan to send Xiao Xiang back to Qinglai Island tomorrow."
Lin Ye nodded.
“…During the summer festival, accompany me to a place.” Kitsaigong said again.
"…it is good."
Lin Ye didn't ask where.
Hu Zhaigong turned and left, and before leaving he took a deep look at Lin Ye.
He is still very young.
Kitsunesai remembered that Haruka was probably the only human friend she had left decades ago.
Over the past thousands of years, many people have left.
Haruka's death was a blow to Kitsai-gumi, making her realize that the life spans of humans and youkai are not comparable.
"Traveling Inazuma, the Shrine Priest Fell in Love with Me", if she wants to try, the ending may be like the end of the story.
The next day, Asase Hibiki packed her luggage and was about to set off. She turned back and waved to Lord Saigū, Hayashino, Master, Lady Chiyo, and Lady Kamiko.
When Lin Ye saw Asase Hibiki's figure gradually disappearing on the mountain path, he couldn't help but speak.
"Asase Hibiki is going back to Qinglai Island alone. The journey is long. Does he really not need an escort?"
Hu Zhaigong didn't say anything, she turned to look at Lingshanfang.
As a result, everyone's attention was focused on Lingshanfang.
"Why are you looking at me? Of course I feel bad for my apprentice. Don't worry, I have my own arrangements... Haha."
Suddenly, Lingshanfang realized why Kombumaru had been so attentive to him yesterday and couldn't help but click his tongue.
……
Asase Hibiki looked at the kelp maru sitting on the stone in surprise.
"Junior brother? Why are you here?"
"Call my name, Takamine. I was forced by that old woman to become her apprentice." Kombumaru jumped off the stone and walked to Asase Hibiki's side.
"As for why I'm here... well, that ugly woman was worried about you and insisted that I follow her."
Kombumaru said this and noticed that Asase Hibiki's eyes were a little red.
"…Alas, your martial arts are so weak. I have already learned the archery that the old woman taught you. Forget it. I'm bored on the road, so I'll teach you. By the way, I'll protect you as my senior sister."
After Kombumaru finished speaking, he forcefully took Asase Hibiki's luggage in his hands, and without waiting for her to say anything, he went down the mountain first.
Asase Hibiki was stunned for a moment, looked at Kombumaru's back, and suddenly smiled, very lightly.
"Thank you."
Asase Hibiki whispered.
Chapter 518 Winwin~
At the end of August, summer festivals were held as usual in various parts of Inazuma, and many deserted mountains and fields became lively.
If you want to have a better viewing experience, it is better to climb the mountain and stand on the edge of the cliff to look out.
The wide field of vision allows you to have a panoramic view of the fireworks blooming in the night sky.
At the same time, this is also a tradition. As an outsider, Lin Ye is not clear about its specific origin.
For those heading to Kagemukaiyama to attend the summer festival, they just need to be prepared and wait until the sun is about to set and arrive at the venue at dusk.
The Narujin Taisha Shrine is exceptionally busy on this day. On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure the final preparations together with the shrine magistrate and the Kagemukai Tengu, and occasionally review and approve the business licenses of the small vendors who are sent to it. Every year, some people forget to apply and make up for it as the festival approaches.
On the other hand, Narukami-sama will participate in the summer festival with the priest at Narukami Taisha Shrine, which is a matter of pride and honor for every shrine maiden.
In the afternoon, Lady Narukami arrived at the shrine with several maids.
At the celebration banquet, the three heads of the magistrate families and the clan leaders of each monster will serve Lord Ming Shen together, and they must be present.
However, the summer festival is a holiday for relaxation and vacation, and Lady Narukami has stipulated that on this day, the heads of the families do not need to leave their families and come to celebrate with her.
Otherwise it would be another team building event.
The room in the Fox Palace.
Hu Zhaigong and Lei Dianzhen sat opposite each other, enjoying this rare leisure time. In less than an hour, the summer festival would begin.
"It's really difficult for you." Lei Dianzhen said.
A good friend passed away recently, but he was still responsible for a festive occasion that brought joy to people. The scene brought back sad memories and only added to my grief.
Lei Dian really remembered that the "little shrine maiden" from Qinglai Shrine loved to go to Kitsaigushi to participate in the summer festival while she was training at Mingjin Taisha Shrine.
"It's my job."
"Despite this, I still want to say to you, thank you for your hard work over the years." Lei Dianzhen said in a gentle voice.
First there was Kitsaigu Shrine and then there was Mingshentai Shrine.
The ruler of a country not only needs to use terrifying military force to clear out the kings and suppress rebellions, but also needs to have attainments in the three major areas of politics, economy, and culture.
After all, Inazuma is primarily human, so Raiden Shin established three magistrates to assist her in governing the country.
At the same time, one cannot gain while the other loses, and the Tengu clan of Yingxiangshan is allowed to take charge of part of the military power, and the Narukami Taisha is responsible for areas related to national cultural beliefs.
Raiden Machika Kitsaurus became the chief priest for her. Kitsaurus originally liked to run in the wilds of white foxes, as free as most monsters, but now he is forced to be bound in the shrine.
"It's not hard, just a little boring." Hu Zhaigong responded to Lei Dianzhen's condolences. She lowered her head and played with her pipe, but she didn't light it in front of her good friend.
"You can also consider retiring and moving to Inazuma Castle. Ying is too obsessed with studying martial arts and seems dull. It would be easier for you to guide her if you are by her side."
"Ying is not dull. As her sister, you know her better than I do." Kitsusai Palace shook her head.
"……yes."
"As for the position of palace chief, isn't this little fellow Son of God your successor?" Lei Dianzhen continued.
"This also takes time. Although she has the potential, she is too naughty and willful."
"How long do you think it will take?"
"Ask me?"
"After all, you are the chief priest, and you have more experience than me. Everyone in the world believes that the gods are omnipotent and omniscient, but things like sword-forging techniques and various martial arts all come from the kage. According to her evaluation, I am really unqualified in this area."
When Lei Dianzhen mentioned his lovely Yingbao, a slight smile appeared on his face.
"The Son of God's method of transforming into a human has not yet been successfully practiced, and her temperament also needs to be tempered." said Hu Zhaigong.
"Weren't you like this before?"
"I've had times like this, too." Hu Zhaigong said with some nostalgia.
"I know that Shen Zi is actually inferior and dull. Haha, she is very talented. What she lacks is a test. If you put her in a high-pressure environment, I believe she will grow faster."
"Are you willing to do so?" Lei Dianzhen asked.
"What's the use of me being reluctant or not? She will definitely come to you and cry, saying that I am an old woman who is cruel and ruthless and can even hurt a little fox. The key is for you to speak up." Hu Zhaigong glanced at Lei Dianzhen and lowered his head again.
Lei Dianzhen smiled but said nothing.
"It's okay to take your time." Kitsusai Palace said softly, "We monsters have a long lifespan. After so many years, I have the patience to wait for the Son of God to grow up little by little."
"However, it's best not to exceed 500 years. Even I will feel worn out by time by that day. Come to think of it, I'm not young anymore."
"Your Highness," Kitsaigong looked up at Raidenjin, her sudden smile blooming like a flower, "Fortunately, you are a god, for eternity."
Fortunately, I am just a passer-by in the end, as far as the movie of Raiden Zhenlei is concerned. Kitsuzai Palace thought.
Having experienced so many farewells, Huzai Palace's heart has shown signs of wear and tear. She has never asked for immortality, but has complex thoughts and looks forward to the day when she will be seen off.
Lei Dian was really smart and perceptive. She noticed the negativity and emptiness in her friend's thoughts, and she sighed in her heart.
"Gods are not eternal. They are just the vision of the Inagi people. You fought alongside me and experienced the Demon God War. How could you not know the nature of the Demon God? Although they are the darlings of the world, they are just stronger creatures."
Even those high-ranking officials cannot surpass it, let alone the next level of demons.
"Yes, gods can also be killed by time." Hu Zhaigong said with emotion.
"Because of your words, I can be charged with the crime of treason and disrespect for the gods and misleading the people. My people will cry." Lei Dianzhen said half-jokingly.
The Eternal General of Thunder is here to promise his people a permanent paradise.
People die from one generation to another, and the legacy is passed down from one generation to the next. They cannot see the scenery a hundred years later, but they can allow future generations to witness it. In this infinite world of inheritance, the General is the witness and leader, and they are the followers and believers.
Kitsusai-miya is unfazed by Raiden's real "threat" and asks a question that shakes her faith.
"Really, do you believe in [eternity]?"
"..."
Raiden didn't answer this question, but turned his head to look outside. The cherry blossoms had already withered.
"So, Ying is not dull, right?" Kitsaigong smiled and said.
Lei is the eternal god who has always been with his people. For this reason, he has shaved off the messy delusions of the secular world, pursued a world of pure land, cut off all noise, so that his judgment would not be biased, and faced the essence of silence.
This is the "eternity" that Lei's movies recognize.
[Silence] is motionless and will not change. It remains the same forever.
During this period, Raiden Zhen had not yet experienced the departure of her beloved people such as Zhen and Hushaigong, nor had she witnessed the destruction of her country that was running at full speed. She was still seeking on the path of [eternity]. Her obsession with martial arts was also a means of calming her mind, similar to Hushaigong carefully combing his tail every day.
"Speaking of which, where is Ying?" Hu Zhaigong talked about Ying, but didn't see her, so he asked.
"Go find that young man." Lei Dianzhen said helplessly.
Ying and Linye discussed with each other for many days and gained some insights. Although they were insignificant, the insights they gained were enough to surprise Ying, who was trapped in shackles.
Later, Lin Ye left Inazuma City, and Ying felt melancholy every day and had withdrawal symptoms.
This time, Ying went to the Naruto-taisha Shrine with his sister to attend the summer festival, and he couldn't wait to find Lin Ye to practice with him.
"Can you guess it, or is it really her?"
"Alas." Lei Dianzhen sighed.
"It's a holiday, but you still won't relax."
"For Ying, sparring with others is also a form of relaxation." Kitsusaigong said with a smile.
Lei Dianzhen stole a glance at Hu Zhaigong and finally smiled. The corners of her mouth raised and she continued to confide in Hu Zhaigong.
The child Ying was unwilling to sleep with me, saying that he was no longer a child.
In her sister's eyes, Yingbao is still a baby.
After hearing this, Kitsaigong expressed sympathy for Ying for having a severe sister complex. Although Lei Dian Zhen behaved reserved and dignified in the presence of outsiders, she could not control the urge to love her sister fiercely, especially when they were alone together as sisters.
Is desire scary?
