I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"I'll wait for you in Youzhi Palace." Shui Yun said, "A witch can't leave this mountain. This is the rule."

Seeing this, Zhiyao stopped insisting and waved goodbye to Shuiyun.

An hour later, Zhiyao returned to the Matsumoto family in Yangyan Village and asked the servant about the location of Matsumoto Sosuke, and then went straight to where he was.

"Well, Mr. Sikong, you're back." Seeing Zhiyao coming, Matsumoto Sosuke stopped writing and said, "I heard from the servant this morning that you didn't come back last night."

"I encountered some problems over there, which delayed me for quite some time." Zhiyao scratched his head, walked straight to the table and sat down, and got straight to the point. "There's something I hope Matsumoto-sama can help with, about the Higashin Mountain next door."

Seeing Zhiyao's serious expression, Matsumoto Sosuke nodded slightly.

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Regarding the security issues at Rishang Mountain."

Zhiyao directly expressed his wish to send more guards to protect the shrine maiden. After hearing this, Matsumoto Sosuke twirled his beard.

"Excuse me, was there an attack on the miko over there last night?"

"Not really." Zhiyao answered truthfully.

He originally wanted to say yes, but decided to tell the truth because he didn't want to lie.

"If that's the case, then why..."

After a moment's thought, Zhiyao decided to reveal her true identity first, and tentatively asked, "If I tell you that something like this will happen in the future, would you believe me, Matsumoto-sama?" Seeing that Matsumoto Sosuke didn't respond, she continued, "Matsumoto-sama, I might as well tell you the truth. I'm not from this time and space. I'm from the future, decades from now."

For a moment, a hint of surprise flashed across Matsumoto Sosuke's eyes.

If someone else said this, he would first assume that they were talking nonsense until they produced evidence.

However, it was Zhiyao who said this, and no matter how unbelievable it was, he instinctively tended to believe part of it.

"I have no reason to deceive Master Matsumoto. If Master Matsumoto has any doubts, you can come with me to Mt. Hijo and let the miko there use Kanto to verify the truth of my words."

Since the other party had taken the initiative to make such a suggestion, Matsumoto Sosuke couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "I am willing to believe your words." He paused again and said, "In other words, the miko will be attacked in the future, right?"

"Yes, and not just one witch, but all of them." Zhiyao answered solemnly, and at the same time explained the consequences and the interests involved.

The disaster will cause the night spring to flow back into the human world, the whole mountain will be shrouded in the breath of the ordinary world, and the souls of the dead will roam all over the mountain.

The fire at the city gate will affect everyone in the pond. By that time, Yangyan Mountain, which is adjacent to Rishang Mountain, will definitely not be unaffected. This place will no longer be suitable for living, and the entire Yangyan Village must be relocated.

There was another moment of silence, and a solemn atmosphere gradually spread in the room.

Finally, the silence was broken by Matsumoto Sosuke's voice.

"I understand. I will arrange this matter as soon as possible."

Zhiyao finally felt relieved and smiled brightly, "Thank you, Master Matsumoto. I am very grateful that you trust me."

"Ahaha, because Lord Sikong really has no reason to deceive me, and you still have the guardian spirit of the mermaid." Matsumoto Sosuke also responded with a hearty laugh.

Hearing this, Zhiyao inadvertently remembered the story Yumozuo told last night, and asked with a little concern: "What happened to Yaoboji?"

"My parents told me the legend about the guardian mermaid spirit." Matsumoto Sosuke lit a cigarette for himself and then told the story passed down from his ancestors in the smoke.

What this person said was almost exactly the same as what Tamamo said. Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh, and his gratitude and favorability towards Wuming reached a peak again.

He thought that the woman had helped him so much both in the future and in the past, and he must express his gratitude when he returned.

It’s decided. I’ll give her a hug and a kiss when the time comes.

After thinking about it again, he changed his mind because there was a high probability that he would get beaten.

Ah Xiu, who has a good temper, might give it a try.

The important matter had been resolved. Zhiyao stood up and bowed slightly. "Then I'll take my leave first, Master Matsumoto. Someone is waiting for me at Higashiyama."

Matsumoto Sosuke originally wanted him to finish his lunch before leaving, but when he heard that someone was waiting, he stopped trying to keep him and sent him to the door of the mansion. Finally, he told Zhiyao that the room would be reserved for him and he could just move in if he came back at night.

On the way out of the village, when passing by Baiju's house, Zhiyao suddenly remembered that he had not seen Baiju today.

Where did the little girl go?

He was confused and kept looking around, wondering if he had gone to play with Aso because he couldn't find him.

Well, if that's the case, wouldn't that be just what I wish for?

"Haha, who cares."

With a wry smile, Zhiyao continued to move out of the village alone.

……

When Zhiyao returned to Youzhi Palace again, he did not see Shuiyun in the main hall. He only saw another witch supervising the children who were practicing.

"Where is Shuiyun? Where is she?" Zhiyao asked straight to the point.

The witch looked him up and down for a while, then asked, "Sir, what do you want to talk to Shuiyun about?"

"I made an appointment with her to meet here. Don't worry, I'm not a suspicious person, and Ms. Kuang knows me."

Hearing Zhiyao say this, the witch immediately let down her guard and replied, "She is in the kitchen."

Nodding, Zhiyao hurried over there. When she arrived, she saw Shuiyun holding a large box of chopped vegetable leaves, ready to pour them into the pot.

"Hey, cooking?"

Shui Yun turned her head towards him, her face filled with joy. "Mr. Sikong, you're back."

"Well, things have been settled over there."

"In that case, let's have lunch here today."

"Okay, you go and rest over there first, I'll cook." Zhiyao went up to get the big shovel next to her without saying anything, but when she was about to touch it, the shovel was taken away by Shuiyun.

"How can that be? You're the guest, so let me cook."

"I want to try cooking a big pot of rice." Zhiyao said.

"But..." Shui Yun hesitated to speak.

I want you to eat the food I cook, that’s the latter part, she was too embarrassed to say it.

"Just let me do it anyway."

Seeing the girl's firm attitude, Zhiyao suddenly felt bored and stepped aside obediently.

Except for a few fire-averse guards, the rest of the members of Youzhi Palace were all women, and they all ate in one place. Since they were strangers and male, Zhiyao could sense someone looking at him from time to time. As the number of times increased, he gradually began to feel awkward, so he finished his meal and left as quickly as possible.

After dinner, Shuiyun and several colleagues were washing dishes in the kitchen. Zhiyao had nothing to do, so he walked back and forth in circles in the corridor. As he was walking, he saw Zhehuo and the other two walking towards him.

"Flat fire."

Zhiyao hurried over and held the little girl's head.

"Brother, good afternoon." Pinghuo smiled shyly, his face as white as a rosy peach.

"Are you tired of practicing?" Zhiyao rubbed him gently.

"Fortunately."

At this time, someone came out of the kitchen and stood behind Zhiyao. Zhiyao, noticing someone behind him, subconsciously turned around and saw that it was Shuiyun.

"Any candy?"

Looking at Pinghuo and then at Zhiyao, Shuiyun understood immediately and replied with some regret: "No."

If not, there is nothing we can do, Zhiyao smiled helplessly.

"Mr. Sikong, have you decided what to do this afternoon?" Shui Yun changed the subject. "As long as you don't leave this mountain, I can go anywhere with you."

"Sure." Zhiyao agreed readily, "I want to go to the Water Palace, you lead the way."

Shui Yun suddenly said with a hint of embarrassment: "That place... I'm sorry, I can't take you there, because with my current status, I don't have the qualifications to enter that place."

"Who has it, Miss Kuang?"

"Yes, there will be no restrictions if the High Priest says so."

Thinking of the face of the old woman in black, Zhiyao's eyes flashed with helplessness.

"Okay, let's go find her now."

Ms. Kuang did not show up during the previous meal, and the two of them analyzed that she was not in the Palace of Ghost, so they began to ask other witches. After learning that the old woman was making coffins on the top of the mountain, they immediately went there without stopping.

Twenty minutes later, the two arrived.

Seeing Zhiyao and Shuiyun appear at the same time, Kuang Nu walked towards them slowly with a kind smile on her face.

But Zhiyao's attention was focused on the mirror in her hand.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Huo Jinyang Mirror, a thing with incredible power that can temporarily make people lose consciousness and mind.

Both are mirror-type artifacts. I wonder which one is more powerful, this thing or Himuro's divine mirror.

"Oh, why are you two here?"

Ms. Kuang's voice sounded, and Zhiyao's attention was called back.

"Lady Kuang, Mr. Sikong..."

Shui Yun was about to explain, but her voice was drowned out by Zhi Yao, "I want to go to the Water Palace. Shui Yun said that she doesn't have the qualifications to go there, so she came to ask for help from Mother-in-law Kuang, hehe."

Ms. Kuang shook her head slowly, her smile still on her face. "I'm sorry, but that's the only place Mr. Sikong can't enter." Then she added, "That place is of great significance. I hope Mr. Sikong will understand."

Although the rejection was expected, Zhiyao was not discouraged at all. He then took out the Chu Yeshi sword from his arms and showed the amber blade to Kuangnu.

"Mother-in-law Kuang, do you know what this is?"

Ms. Kuang came over to take a look, then stepped back and signaled Yi Yao with her eyes to speak directly.

Seeing this, Zhiyao pressed the tip of the blade with the tip of his index finger and began to explain: "This is the divine weapon Chu Yeshi Sword, my personal weapon. In addition, I have to tell you one more thing. I am inhabited by two kinds of gods."

Zhiyao deliberately used the word "God" here, because Ms. Kuang herself is a clergyman, and he felt that this would be effective in exerting pressure.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yaoboji and Bobingdie appeared on both sides of his body at the same time, and the effect was naturally immediate. Kuang Nu's eyes immediately widened slightly.

Chapter 121: [The Way Back Home]

Mermaids are creatures that only exist in mythology, and the butterflies next to them are much larger than ordinary butterflies. Moreover, both of them appeared out of thin air as if by magic.

Therefore, in Ms. Kuang's opinion, Zhiyao was not exaggerating.

The other party's reaction was satisfactory, so Zhiyao continued: "Mrs. Kuang, I said I was from the future, right? Now I want to tell you that in the future I also work at the shrine and serve as an exorcist."

"Exorcist?" Shui Yun was curious.

"I'll tell you in detail later." Zhiyao smiled at her and turned her gaze back to Kuang Nu. "I know what you're worried about, mother-in-law, and I also know what that place is used for. But you can rest assured, because I will never touch Dazhu's coffin. I went there mainly to try to touch the Yellow Springs Gate to see if I can trigger time travel, that's all."

At this point, Ms. Kuang understood Zhiyao's intention, but she still did not intend to agree.

The reason was that she didn't know what would happen after the Yellow Springs Gate was touched, and she was worried that touching it rashly would loosen the seal, so she didn't dare to take the risk.

If that happens, we will face unimaginable catastrophic consequences.

Accountability?

The disaster has already happened, so is there any point?

After careful consideration, Ms. Kuang finally shook her head and politely declined, "Mr. Sikong is indeed no ordinary person. We have no intention of offending you. However, regarding this matter... please forgive me for refusing. I am truly sorry."

After revealing his true identity but still being rejected, Zhiyao's face fell and he rolled his eyes in boredom.

"It's really going to be fine. Even if something does happen, Babai will help to deal with it. She is a water deity, so a mere Night Spring is no problem for her."

As soon as she finished her promise, Yaoboji immediately responded by condensing a floating water droplet in her palm.

However, Ms. Kuang remained indifferent, so Zhiyao had to find another way.

"If you're still hesitant, I can only ask Matsumoto Sosuke to help intercede."

Hearing the name of the head of the Matsumoto family, Ms. Kuang raised her eyebrows and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Sikong, do you know Mr. Matsumoto?"

"More than just knowing him, I stayed at his house a few days ago and have a pretty good relationship with him. By the way, I'll tell you that I'm his most honored guest, and he also hailed me as a hero of Yangyan Village."

Ms. Kuang suddenly didn't care much, "What exactly happened? I hope Mr. Sikong can explain it in detail."

He lit a cigarette and took a puff. Then, Zhiyao told him what happened a few days ago, and Shuiyun put her hand on his shoulder to observe.

When Zhiyao finished speaking.

"Every word he said is true, Lady Kuang." Shui Yun helped to provide evidence.

At this point, Ms. Kuang bowed slightly and saluted, her tone becoming more humble: "So you are the hero, our lord. We are so disrespectful."
