Shui Yun couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at Zhiyao in disbelief. Zhiyao gave her a knowing look.

Who wouldn't like a young and beautiful girl compared to an old woman, especially since they know each other.

After thinking for a moment, Ms. Kuang nodded silently.

"In that case, let's do as Mr. Sikong wishes."

After saying that, Ms. Kuang walked towards the main gate of Youzhi Palace alone. When she reached the door, she turned around secretly and looked at the two people in the distance with her peripheral vision, her eyes were intriguing.

the other side.

"Shui Yun!"

"Well, what's wrong, Mr. Sikong?"

"You didn't expect that we would meet again so soon, did you? Huh." Zhiyao rubbed his nose comfortably.

"Yes, what are you going to do next? Are you sure you want to stay here for a while?"

Zhiyao wasn't sure how to answer, so after a moment's thought, she said, "I should be at Rishang Mountain today, and I'll definitely be there tonight. Of course, I might have to go back to Yangyan Village during the day."

"Why go back there?"

"Go back and say hello to Matsumoto Sosuke. He was kind enough to let me stay the night."

Chapter 119: [Little Thoughts]

Although she was told to be a tour guide, Shuiyun was actually not very clear about what she was supposed to do specifically. She only knew that it meant leading guests around.

Seeing Zhiyao silent and looking at him with a smile, he pointed to the door of Youzhi Palace.

"How about... I take you inside for a tour?" While pointing, Shui Yun asked Zhiyao for her opinion, although she had lived in this place for more than ten years and felt that there was nothing worth seeing.

"Okay."

Zhiyao agreed happily, and Shuiyun immediately went to the front to lead the way.

"Please follow me." Shui Yun said as she opened the main door. Behind the door was a narrow courtyard, and in front of the courtyard was the entrance to the main hall.

"This way." Shui Yun pushed open the door leading to the main hall again. As soon as the door was opened this time, Zhi Yao saw several children sitting quietly in front of them with their backs to this side.

"Are there any children here?" Looking at Shuiyun, Zhiyao asked with a little curiosity.

"They are young witches."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyao tiptoed behind the children and looked at their faces from above.

He noticed that the children had their eyes closed, so he turned around and asked Shuiyun who was following him in a low voice.

"What are they doing?"

"Meditation is one of the courses for the witch's training." Shui Yun also lowered her voice because she didn't want the children to be distracted.

Seeing Zhiyao spread her palms forward, Shuiyun immediately understood what she meant and took her to a nearby place. "Meditation is a way for beginners to stimulate and train their spiritual power. When their spiritual power reaches a certain level, then they can go outside to see for themselves."

"I see." Zhiyao nodded as if realizing something, then asked knowingly, "You definitely don't need it, right?"

"Of course, I am the Witch of the Crows, so I don't need it anymore."

"So you usually just watch it?"

"That's it at night. During the day, I have to do other things, like cleaning, cooking, washing clothes and so on."

Zhiyao was a little surprised that they had to do all this. He thought that there were special people to do such things, and the priestesses only needed to watch.

Speaking of cooking, Zhiyao subconsciously held her stomach.

I haven't eaten anything this morning.

However, before he could bring up the matter, Shui Yun already knew it.

"I'll get you something to eat. Please wait here for a moment."

Shui Yun left quickly after she finished speaking. Zhi Yao had nothing to do for the time being, and her gaze unconsciously returned to the group of children. During this period, perhaps because they noticed their gazes, three little girls gradually opened their eyes and looked over here.

Noticing this, Zhiyao walked over with a quiet smile.

"What's your name?" He put his hand on the head of a little girl in the middle.

The little girl blinked blankly a few times.

"Flat fire."

The name sounded familiar, Zhiyao rolled his eyes and asked the two people next to him.

"what about you?"

"Brother, my name is Qi."

"My name is Xiaoya."

After he finished speaking, Zhiyao gradually remembered as he dug deeper into the information about Rishang Mountain in his mind.

Aren’t these three the shrine maidens from the same generation as Feng Shi? On the day Feng Shi entered Daishu’s coffin, they were patrolling on the mountain and met Kururugi Miyazo.

Thinking that these three lovely little girls would be brutally murdered in a dozen years, Zhiyao suddenly realized that compassion slowly emerged in his eyes.

"What's wrong, brother?" Pinghuo tilted his head, his face full of curiosity.

Suddenly coming back to her senses, Zhiyao quickly put back her smile and gently rubbed Zhehuo's head, "Ah, nothing. By the way... do you know a kid named Fengshi?"

The three of Pinghuo looked at each other and shook their heads.

Fengshi would have to wait a few years until Baiju became a pillar before coming to the mountain. Zhiyao certainly knew about this.

Just asking casually.

Someone came over here, Zhiyao looked over and saw that it was Shuiyun who came back with a plate in her hand, and there were two round pastries on the plate.

"Mr. Sikong, I've brought breakfast. Come and eat." Shuiyun handed the plate to Zhiyao and at the same time instructed the three people of Zhehuo in a serious tone, "Practice well and don't be distracted. Do you hear me?"

The three people from Pinghuo closed their eyes obediently. Zhiyao smiled awkwardly, rubbed the heads of the three people in turn, and then walked away.

It seemed that they could be introduced to Bai Ju as friends. By chance, Zhiyao had this idea.

Just write it down for now.

Behind, Shuiyun followed silently, staring at the plate in Zhiyao's hand, and kept urging him to eat quickly.

When Zhiyao finally picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"How does it taste?" Shui Yun asked in a soft voice, her voice like the buzzing of a mosquito flying around.

"It's fine." Zhiyao responded casually.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Shui Yun suddenly lowered her head and her cheeks became slightly hot.

The snacks on the plate were made by her yesterday. Now she let the hungry Zhiyao eat them and they received good reviews. She couldn't stop feeling happy.

As the second piece of dessert was swallowed, Zhiyao handed the plate back to Shuiyun and said casually: "Come to think of it, I thought you were all nocturnal and that you must be asleep at this time."

"No, although most people seeking death come at night, we actually have different hours. Some of us are responsible for the first half of the night and some for the second half."

"Are you just wandering around by yourselves? Aren't there any patrolling guards to protect your safety?" Zhiyao frowned when he thought about what would happen in the future.

"No, there has never been a case of a miko being attacked before."

Just because it didn’t happen before doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future. At this moment, Zhiyao suddenly wanted to tell Shuiyun about that future event.

On second thought, it seemed that telling her would be of little use. Someone like her, who carries so much pain in her body, might have already seen through the world and might respond with an indifferent attitude, thinking that everyone is destined to die anyway.

So in the end, Zhiyao decided to let Matsumoto Sosuke do it.

"Let's go, Mr. Sikong, I'll take you to visit other places."

Under Shui Yun's leadership, the two of them traveled through most parts of the You Palace. When they returned to the main hall from the door on the other side, Shui Yun decided to take people to the top of the mountain to visit places like Ji Valley, Dahuo Realm, and Xingdai Ao Society.

Time flies, and about an hour later, the two stood side by side at the end of their journey, on the shore of the other side of the lake.

"That's the Water Palace, right?" Looking into the distance, Zhiyao pointed at the building on the water.

"Yeah." Shui Yun replied, but there was a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

That place is her final destination. In a few days, she will go there to enter the second stage and bid farewell to this world forever.

Before, she believed that this was her fate and there had never been any ripples in her heart, but now, she suddenly had some little ideas.

It’s not that she wants to escape and survive. After all, so many predecessors have sacrificed their lives and whole lives. She can’t be so selfish. But under this premise, she hopes that the ceremony can be postponed, at least until Zhiyao leaves.

At least while Zhiyao was still here, she hoped to spend as much time with him as possible.

As she thought this, her gaze slowly moved to Zhiyao's profile. Just as she was about to get closer, she saw Zhiyao take a few steps forward, the toes of her shoes pressing into the moist mud on the shore.

"Deep below the Water Palace is the Gate to the Underworld."

Listening to Zhiyao's monologue, Shuiyun followed him and said with emotion, "Mr. Sikong, you know so much."

Being suddenly praised, Zhiyao smiled brightly and asked mysteriously, "Well, do you want to know what I'm planning?"

"I do." Shui Yun said without hesitation.

As for the specific content, she did not intend to read it, but wanted to hear Zhiyao say it with her own ears.

"You didn't look at me, did you?" Zhiyao asked.

"No." Shui Yun answered truthfully, "I won't read it without your permission."

What an honest girl! Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh, and then turned his gaze back to the Water Palace over there, "I want to go there. Maybe that place can trigger the conditions to return to the future."

After hearing that Zhiyao was leaving, Shuiyun felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and then she heard the part that Zhiyao had not finished saying.

"Because someone is waiting for me in the future, I have to go back."

Someone is waiting for me, so I have to go back. Who could that person be? My parents?

Shui Yun couldn't help but be curious about his resolute tone, and then asked nonchalantly, "Who is that person? Can you tell me?"

"It's my wife, Himuro Kirie."

It was like a bolt from the blue, and Shui Yun was stunned.

"You... have a wife?"

"What? Don't I deserve to have a wife?" Zhiyao sneered and rolled his eyes.

In an instant, a strong sense of loss accumulated in Shuiyun's heart.

Of course she knew that it was impossible for them to be together.

Because she was a priestess of the Nuya clan with not much time left, she had never thought about establishing a relationship. She felt that as long as they could stay together for the rest of their time, it would be enough. However, after learning that Zhiyao had a wife, she began to feel uncontrollably depressed and uncomfortable.

It is true that Zhiyao will definitely have a wife in the future, at least... at least in the future, that will happen after her death.

Now that she is still alive, Zhiyao already has it, so what is she now and what is her position.

"What kind of woman is Himuro Kirie?" Shui Yun calmly asked, suppressing the discomfort in her heart.

"Strictly speaking, she shouldn't be human." Zhiyao looked behind him, and after confirming that there was no one around, he whispered into Shuiyun's ear, "Wuhui is dead. I'm telling you this secret, but remember not to tell anyone."

Her eyes suddenly widened, and Shuiyun looked at Zhiyao in disbelief, even wanting to take action.

What does dead person mean? Does it refer to ghost marriage, like the custom of this mountain?

Is this person in such a hurry to go back, is he going to have a ghost marriage with a dead person?

Wait, if that's the case, does it mean that I'm not completely at a disadvantage? A dead me has no advantage over a living woman. That's based on the premise that Zhiyao is unwilling to give up her life.

Now that Zhiyao doesn't mind giving up her life, the starting line for herself and Wuhui is actually the same.

Suddenly a gust of spring breeze blew, and the seedling of hope broke through the ground in the girl's heart. Under her expressionless face, the corners of her mouth curled up sweetly.

She still had a chance, she thought, as long as this man couldn't go back, there was a possibility that he would become her groom.

Chapter 120: [Return to Yangyan Village]

Thinking it was time to get down to business, Zhiyao invited Shuiyun: "I'm going back to Yangyan Village first. How about you? Do you want to come with me?"

Unfortunately, she couldn't leave Rishang Mountain.
