November 4th, eleven o'clock in the morning

"Huh~" This is the third mochi that Chong ran away, the more mochi you go to the depths of Baiyulou, although it is harmless, but the whole is blocked in the middle of the road like the ball, it is indeed a little troublesome, by the way, I don't know if I can catch one back when I go, I just heard that Peng also likes the ball recently, so send him one

Later, he really gave a friend anonymously, but I don't know why, and the next day the friend asked for leave, because he was in a severe coma

Chong looked up at the towering ancient tree not far away, countless white lights were slowly flowing into its branches and leaves, but it didn't seem to last long, judging from the length and flow rate, the white light would disappear completely in another ten minutes

Speaking of which, why am I running here? Oh yes, I'm TM lost again!

A moment later

"It's really magnificent" Although I knew it from a few hundred meters away, I still had to marvel at why the ancient tree in front of it was so strong, this kind of ancient tree that has a lifespan of almost five or six hundred years can no longer be seen in the outside world

“？” Just as he was standing in front of the tree, not knowing what to do, he suddenly saw a woman with nine tails behind her back standing on the back of the tree, not knowing what she was doing

"Although Lord Zi asked me to find an opportunity to dig up the roots of the Westbound Demon, it is difficult to do" She muttered softly, "According to my estimate, the roots of the Westbound Demon are more than five zhang long, no, to be more precise, there are five zhang and three feet deep, and then there are three hundred and seventy-six skeletons buried under the Westward Demon, if you want to dig out the roots without avoiding the bones + not causing the tree to fall + not being discovered, first take the tree cover as the center point"

"It's a good scholar, it's just digging a tree, and it's actually going to build a coordinate axis, and it's not like this to show off if you're good at mathematics, physics and chemistry."

“？” The woman turned her head, and then showed a relieved smile, "It turned out to be Your Excellency."

"Yakumo Murasaki's Shikigami" The last time she came to inform herself about Yakumo Murasaki's hibernation, she was the one who didn't report her name

"Yes, I'm the Shikigami of Purple Adult, Yakumo Blue" Yakumo Blue bowed and said, "It's the second time we met, and your complexion is still so good"

"Like-minded" almost said the same as above

"That's right, Lord Purple has something to give you" Yakumo Blue suddenly turned around, and then hurriedly turned around, "I'm sorry, but can you please avoid it, Orange, that kid is playful, I'm worried that it will break, so I'll keep it close to you"

"Brush" Chong immediately turned his head, and then directly blindfolded

The sound of clothes rubbing against the "sand" came from behind

"Alright, please turn around," Yakumo's voice came from behind

“？” Chong took the jade she handed over, and then looked at it, the jade was transparent all over, but as soon as it was in his hand, it turned blue and blue, and there was a faint line of small words in the jade, and there was a crisp ticking sound from it when he touched it, and there was a small six-pointed star on the surface

"There are, divine thoughts, no delusion, reincarnation, jade psychic will reach the whole body, human psychic will reach the six realms" Yakumo Blue said with a smile, "This is one of the three Japanese artifacts - the prototype of the eight-foot Qiongqu jade, not a counterfeit that inherits its name"

“！！” Chong looked at the magatama in his hand in disbelief, prototype?! A real treasure?!

"Ah, Lord Purple wants me to sue you, humans can't fully play the role of an artifact, and besides, this jade hasn't been opened, I'm afraid it's one in ten in terms of ability" Yakumo Blue reminded "And it will have a certain burden on the body, so please be careful when using it"

"For me?" Chong asked in disbelief

"Of course, Purple-sama is very grateful for what you have done, and this thing is not very useful to Purple-sama, after all, there is no time in Gensokyo, and this concept exists" Yakumo Lan said, "Besides, this was originally left by your mother, and now it is also returned to its original owner."

"Grateful" Chong put Magatama in his leather jacket

"You're welcome," Yakumo Lan bowed and said, "You don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, please rest assured that you will leave it to me"

Chong nodded, then turned around and left

"Ah, it's not for you to go back, Lord Purple hopes that you can enter the White Jade Building" Yakumo Lan hurriedly shouted, "Lord Purple will come to you later, saying that she needs to explain about the bottle of medicine"

"Understood," Chong walked towards the attic next to the Westbound Demon

"Lan, when did I even explain this to you" After Chong's figure became more and more blurred, a gap opened next to Yakumo Blue

"I'm so sorry, but I think Purple-sama needs you" Yakumo Blue bent over to apologize "After all, he was too strong in Gensokyo, and the potion on his body should have been left for you by that adult, I was also at the place to remember"

"Don't meddle in the future," Yakumo Zi could only reluctantly admonish, "You are very smart, and you have a share of the credit for maintaining the status quo in Gensokyo now."

Yakumo Lan didn't interject because she knew there was a follow-up

"But there are some things that you can't say, such as what happened to him just now" Yakumo Zifu opened his mouth "Blue, you are my Shikigami, and you are the only youkai who has inherited the surname of Yakumo, although I don't want to say that, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this is the highest honor"

"Of course, I have always kept this kindness of Lord Purple in my heart," Yakumo Lan said respectfully, and the nine tails behind him also swayed gently

"Forget it, I won't say anything more" Yakumo Zi sighed, "It seems that the Westward Demon can't be dug up, I just probed with the gap, the roots of the Westward Demon are as hard as steel, and it extends in all directions, unless it is a fire to burn it clean, otherwise it is difficult to hurt half an inch with ordinary techniques"

"Blue, come back after confirming that Yuyuko doesn't have the intention of continuing, Orange seems to be dissatisfied with the fact that you took away her task, and now she is making trouble in the study" Purple said helplessly "I won't take the child, you better hurry up"

"Orange, kid, yes, I'll rush back right away," Yakumo bowed with a wry smile

"Hmm" Yakumo nodded, then closed the gap

(Fortunately, there are thoughts other than rationality) Yakumo Zi thought like this (I've been worried about whether Lan will become another item because the responsibility he bears is too big and too heavy, it seems that I am overthinking)

(As long as the orange kid is around, blue will never be the perfect strategist)

"The next thing is to convince Lord Yuyuko" Yakumo Lan turned around, "According to the current situation, the realm of the underworld is already unstable, if you blindly absorb the spring and attract the heavenly people, it will be difficult to clean up, it seems that you can only persuade first, and then think of other ways after not listening"

Five minutes later

"Ah, it's blue, didn't Purple come over in person" Yuyuko tilted her head and asked after landing on the ground, "Still hibernating?" ”

"Yes, Purple-sama hates going out in winter, you know," Yakumo Blue said, "So I'm sent down to help Yuyuko-sama, you help."

"I'm not here to help, but to be a lobbyist" Yuyuko smiled "Blue, if Purple wants to help, she won't come to you, whether it's Ibuki or Yuka, or even Xingxiong, they're much better than you, ah, of course, I don't mean that you're too weak, but because you're only suitable for the end, but not for the beginning."

"Youyuko-sama is right, Lord Purple wants me to dispel your idea of wanting the Westward Demon to bloom" Yakumo Lan admitted very dryly, pretending to be stupid at this time is definitely the next policy

"Why are you all like this" Yuyuko looked up at the westward demon and muttered to herself, "It's just a cherry blossom, what's in the way of her, I think when I left all the family business of the Xixing Temple family to help her, Purple didn't rely on me for everything"

"Lan, let me ask you, is there something strange buried under the Westward Demon" Yuyuko turned around and said, "Purple can easily see through the roots of the Westward Demon with her ability to play with the realm, then you must also know, sue me, is there something buried underneath"

"I'm sorry, Murasaki-sama warned me that this secret is more important than my life," Yakumo Lan apologized, "Even if it's Yuyuko-sama, you can't tell Sù"

"Yes, Purple said so," Yuyuko said coldly, "Butterfly Pattern Gun!" ”

The spear made of butterflies collided with a strange gossip array when it was first shot, and was then shattered by it

"Yuyuko-sama, I'm not a Shikigami for fighting, so please don't do this" Yakumo Lansu squeezed his hand lightly, and then put away the gossip map with a wave of his long sleeves

"Blue, I've heard that the more tails a fox has, the smarter it becomes, and the more beautiful it becomes," Yuyuko said softly, "Are the nine tails behind you just for decoration?"

"I don't know about you, but I know Purple, the Shikami she received must be powerful, I heard that there are people in the world who call you the strongest demon beast" Hundreds of dead butterflies fluttered down on Yuyuko's body

"This is too much," Yakumo Lan said respectfully, "I'm still very weak compared to you, Yuyuko-sama."

"Blue, the fox's words can't be trusted" Yuyuko stretched out her soft wattle, and then opened the folding fan again, "In books, foxes can be compared to the demon girls of the country of calamity, sometimes even women can't stand their crispy bones"

"Foxes are also divided into good and evil, although they are indeed a little lewd in their bones. Sex, but when it's an innocent woman" Yakumo Blue said with an unchanged expression "Please trust me"

Yuyuko was silent for a while, and then returned to her usual smiling appearance, "Okay~ I believe that Lan Sauce is okay, if the Westward Demon doesn't bloom, it won't bloom, anyway, the most important thing in the White Jade Building is the cherry blossoms and the undead."

"Thank you," Yakumo Lan bowed respectfully, "Then I'll go back, I'm sorry for your trouble, please go to the inner room to rest"

"Ah, that's very polite, then please come with Purple at noon, I'm going to have a banquet in the main hall" Yuyuko said, "It's no problem to ask her to send me an invitation"

"Of course, Purple-sama will be very happy" Yakumo Blue bowed again, and then the cherry blossoms rolled up, and Yakumo Blue disappeared in place in an instant

"It's really a strategist" Yuyuko sighed slightly, "Purple is cunning enough, but it turns out that her Shikijin is even more cunning than her, really"

"Although I'm not qualified to talk about them," Yuyuko waved her folding fan, and then returned Harundo to Gensokyo little by little

"Ah, the mutation has failed~" I couldn't hear whether I was happy or annoyed, and the sigh of emotion resounded in the empty white jade building

postscript

He looked up at the point of light that was rapidly extending across Gensokyo, and kowtowed slightly

(Things haven't been done) a female voice from nowhere said gently

"Sha" He didn't speak, but took out a pen and paper from his arms, and then quickly wrote something

(I didn't plan to do it in the first place.)

(Then you still promise him)

(Entrusted by friends, you can't help but come)

(He's your friend?) Just an annoying, or rather disgusting guy, right?)

(Maybe, but if you promise, you're coming)

(Hmph, whatever you want)

(Don't be angry, I didn't do anything extraneous)

(If you do, I'll never pay attention to you in the future, besides, what does he want you to do?) How disgusting it is to cut down the biggest cherry blossom tree and disguise it as Chongdo! ）

(Homo sapiens thing, I don't want to understand)

(Hmm)

(Then again, Sakura Naomi, do you want to watch it with me?) ）

(Well, of course it depends)

He put down the pen and paper in his hand and sat cross-legged

(Speaking of which, "Shadow" seems to have been here once not long ago.)

(What the old saying is half-baked, come on)

He nodded, and then continued to look in the direction of Bai Yulou, even though he was already blind in his eyes, as long as she could see

"Whew~" The weird demon wind blew, and it was a common thing in the white jade building

"Whew~" The wind seems to be a little louder, and it seems that winter is about to pass

The "whew" wind is about to stop, because spring has arrived

A slight "click" sounded

"Boom!" The next moment, the hundred resentful spirits hidden in the wind were cut in two

He stood up, then lifted the long knife at his waist, which was one meter six long

(The wind stopped) he wrote another line and let it scatter into the air (I should have gone too)

"See you then," someone in the wind responded, and then the breeze blew up the paper, and the words behind it were reflected in the eyes of those in the shadows

(If you dare to touch my knife next time)

(Kill them!) ）
