Chapter Ninety-Four: The Goddess (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
Behind the old man, the two men who had supported him in front of him stood with grim faces. Across from him stood a young man who looked to be in his twenties, looking a little nervous.
The old man in red still half-closed his eyes, watching the tea leaves rise and fall in the teacup, and only put them down for a long time, and said slowly: "Apprentice, do you have something to say?" ”
The young man was slightly stunned, and hurriedly helped the old man refill the tea, then squatted down and said cautiously: "Master, we live on the border of Kyushu, aren't we...... Isn't it safe? "In his mind, not long ago, he was in conflict with the people of Kyushu in the secret realm, and now he is so blatantly staying on the other party's territory, which is really too awkward.
The old man picked up the lid of the cup, gently brushed the floating tea leaves, and sighed lightly: "You have been in the secret realm for too long, don't bring out the habits inside." In the secret realm, we and Kyushu are naturally fighting each other, but have you ever seen me make a move? Have you seen those guys over there? Everyone has their own scruples. In the secret realm, it is normal to have conflicts in private, but when you leave the secret realm, you must not do it again, which is already the default rule of the high-level leaders of the two parties. You must know that whether it is us or Kyushu, although each has its own plans, there is no reason to fight each other. ”
After taking a sip of tea, the old man said again: "We must be safer on the territory of Kyushu." Now outside, there must be people from Kyushu, both for surveillance and protection. It is impossible for the two sides to go to war in an all-out way, otherwise, let those guys in the West take advantage of it? It's good for you to remember one thing, it's the same thing in the secret realm, but on the outside we and Kyushu are partners on the surface, understand? ”
"It was in vain that he didn't turn the corner for a while." The young man smiled embarrassedly, "Also, the goddess ...... there."
"What? Are you interested in that little girl? The wrinkles on the old man's face were slightly squeezed together, and there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.
The young man shook his head again and again: "Master, how is that possible!" It's just that the goddess she ...... We haven't been able to find out her identity, and now she is missing, is it really okay? ”
The old man drank all the tea in his hand, and after a long time, he said: "Her identity, there is no need to check it at all." As for what she is going to do, she doesn't have to care. Do you know that the priesthood of the Asama priestess existed long before the end of the law? I don't know how many years have passed until now. ”
"Huh?" It was the first time for the young man to hear such a secret, and he was a little surprised.
The old man said with some amusement: "At present, there are accurate records, and there are more than 30 goddesses in total. Did you know that nearly half of them are not from our Sakurajima? ”
The young man's mouth was already open, and he looked a little shocked. As a priestess with an extremely important position in Sakurajima Shinto, nearly half of them are not from Sakurajima? This news is too shocking.
The old man nodded: "Yes, there are nearly ten of them, and they are from Kyushu." This news, very weighty, right? ”
"Master, are they...... Why, the ......" young man's face was very confused, and he didn't know how to say it for a while.
The old man knocked on the table, and the young man immediately understood, and helped him refill the water. The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "You want to ask, why can someone who is not from Sakurajima be a goddess?" You know, the position of Asama goddess, as long as you sit on it, no matter what your background is, there is no possibility of betrayal. This priesthood is equivalent to a contract, and it is very stable. ”
"Deed of Sale?" The young man swallowed.
"Don't talk nonsense!" The old man's expression became a little serious, "Especially when there are outsiders, remember not to say such things." Asama Goddess, when it comes to identity, I am not below Master and me, remember to maintain respect, understand? Is this the goddess a little weird, but it's all in the past, and now her only identity is the goddess of Asama, remember? ”
The young man hurriedly nodded yes. The old man coughed and wanted to say something more, but an abnormal red appeared on his face, and a trace of blood came out of the corner of his mouth. The young man was a little panicked and hurriedly said, "Master! ”
The old man waved his hand: "It's okay, I was a little reckless when I was inside, and I was injured by a group of ghost kings." It's just a minor injury, and it's not a big deal. ”
The young man proposed, "So let's stay here for two days?" There is just the protection of the people of Kyushu, and it is very safe to think of it. ”
"No, we'll go back tomorrow." The old man shook his head, a sneer appeared on his face, and his tone was a little embarrassed, "If I stay here for too long, I don't know what will happen when I go back." Those people may not take me as a great elder in their eyes, you know, it is our fine tradition......
……
Mu Fan's side. The fox pulled the bell Yunqi, and the three of them slipped out of the room together, presumably to eavesdrop. It didn't take long to hear a scream from the fox outside, and when Mu Fan walked out of the door, he saw that the fox was being twisted by his mother's ears and begging for mercy. Yun Qi, on the other hand, stood beside him a little embarrassed, blinking her eyes. As for the kitten, seeing that the situation is not good, I don't know where to go.
Mu Fan laughed dryly, feeling that it was really not the right time for him to come out. Fortunately, the fox's mother saved her some face, but after twisting the fox's ears hard, she nodded to Mu Fan and Yun Qi, and turned around and entered the room.
The fox hissed and covered his ears and barked twice, and then grabbed the bell that slipped back again at some point: "Little Bell, you traitor, how can we be found if you don't meow?" ”
The bell meowed innocently, got out of the fox's arms with a thud, and hid behind Mu Fan: "The bell didn't meow messily, just now it was the fox sister you stepped on my foot and meowed......"
The fox naturally didn't admit it, so there was another burst of chickens and dogs.
In the middle of the night, the fox held the bell intimately and went back to his room to rest.
In the afternoon of the next day, Mu Fan and the others took a plane back to Minghai. The fox's parents did not go back together, on the one hand, there are still some follow-up things to be solved here, such as the Yang family's side, which cannot be separated for the time being; On the other hand, the fox's mother thinks that the scenery here in the East Island is good, and claims to spend her honeymoon here to find the feeling of first love that year.
The holiday has passed, and the school is just starting on this day, but today I can't catch up with it, so I can only skip a day of class. Before getting on the plane, Mu Fan had already called Yu Qinghou and asked him to help him take a day off. Hou Ye agreed repeatedly, and also told Mu Fan mysteriously, saying that the quantum mechanics teacher who originally taught them had been transferred, and according to the information, the new transfer was a young female teacher - Hou Ye had all kinds of fantasies about it by the way, and Mu Fan was unceremoniously attacked: to be able to serve as a professional teacher in college, no matter how young he is, it is estimated that he is about thirty, and the beautiful teacher or something, I can't help but think too much. Hearing this, Hou Ye, whose dream was broken, was very unhappy, and threatened to use facts to shut up Mu Fan.
