Chapter 67: In the Shadows
"Yesterday, the matter of going to the West Heavenly Palace for an apprenticeship asked by the king, the Nine Fatsuka family has agreed. Although there is no precedent, this is the request of the 'king'. Just go to daylight on the right day, that's what it says. β
When the family members were dancing in the square dance in the park, Yang Xi was talking about things with Yuri Wanli at the Seven Heroes Shrine.
The shrine is very quiet no matter what time of year it comes, because it is a heavy spiritual place, and few people know about it, so in order to prevent the information here from leaking, the official history compilation committee has always done a good job of secrecy.
Therefore, only some residents of the neighborhood come here to pay their respects.
Although this shrine is sometimes used for spiritual practice.
Therefore, it is also very suitable for conversation.
But for Yang Xi, it's the same everywhere, as long as he doesn't want others to know
Received a good education when he was young, and Yuri Wanya behaved like a Nadeshiko of Yamato.
"Thank you very much for using your power for my sister Xiaoguang. As an older sister, I would like to express my gratitude. β
"Thank you for it, you don't have to, no matter how you say that Xiaoguang is also my sister, isn't it a natural thing for my brother to help my sister? It feels strange that you say thank you like that. β
"Yes, I see."
No matter how amiable Yang Xi was, in front of him, Wanli Gu always had a special sense of tension.
Of course, this kind of nervousness and fear have no chance, but the kind that inexplicably worries that you are not good enough to do well and let the other party down.
"Then, Xiaoguang's matter can come to an end. It's a lot easier for you, too. β
"Yes."
"Yuri, have you decided on the day of the apprenticeship?"
Although I don't know what kind of plan Saya Gongxin has when she came up with this idea, Yang Xi still decided that it would be better to be careful. I always feel like something big is going to happen lately.
"Hmm. This weekend happens to be three consecutive days off, and that's when it was. β
"Yuri will go with you then, right?"
"Of course, I'm also the child's sister!"
Yuri wondered why the king would ask such a question.
"So. As a sister of Xiaoguang, you can accompany you, and as an elder brother, I should also be with you. And my woman. They are all Xiaoguang's sisters."
Yang Xi's words didn't come out, but Wanli Gu Yuli already knew what he wanted to say.
"Well, isn't it a bit bad to have so many people go together?"
"Oh, yes, either everyone goes, or everyone doesn't go, it's not a good phenomenon to have disagreements! Moreover, Yuri, are you relieved to let Xiaoguang go to such a far place alone? Anyway, as an older brother, I don't feel at ease, and I must go. β
"I, I see. So. Wang, do you need extra notice over there? β
"There's no need. We're just going to accompany Xiaoguang, and she's the protagonist. β
After sitting in silence for a while, Wanli Gu Yuri finally couldn't help but say, "Wang, what should you do when you go to the West Heaven Palace, right?" β
"Well, a little bit of an investigation into something. Also, I heard that the area around this palace is also a famous sightseeing spot, so there are many places to enjoy it, right? The opportunity is just right, let's go shopping together. β
How much of this sentence is true and how much is false, Wan Li Gu Yuli is not clear, but she can still sense Yang Xi's ulterior motives.
Only hopefully. Don't make too much of a fuss.
At this moment, Yang Xi suddenly frowned, and before Wanli Gu Yuli could ask, he disappeared in an instant.
Look at the empty seats. Yuri walked over and reached out to touch it, and he could still feel his body temperature.
"What are you planning, king?"
Nikko National Park is extensive, and not just Tochigi Prefecture. Up to Gunma and Fukushima.
But when it comes to Nikko, it's Toshogu Shrine. Two barren mountain shrines. Mt. Nikko of Rinnoji Temple and the area of Oku-Nikko. Not to mention the likes of Nantai Mountain, Chuzenji Lake, and Battlefield Plains.
Nishitengu Shrine is a shrine built at a certain corner of Nikko Mountain.
Compared to the gorgeous Toshogu Shrine and the Futarasan Shrine near the west. It is divided from the general pedestrian area which is a sightseeing spot. A sanctuary of tranquility.
within this territory. Mikihiko Kuhotsuka, who is dressed as a priest, is talking on the phone with his mobile phone.
"So the king is here too? Of course, very welcome. Uh-huh. Uh-huh, please say hello to Miss Koko for me."
Teenagers and girls were listening. It's Lu Yinghua and Ansheira.
"It's really amazing, the tone of that speech, I can't see that my sister is manipulating it at all."
"Of course. I'm the one at the top of all the witches. β
The boy shrugged, and the girl replied boredly.
She looked at Kugatsuka like a doll tired of playing.
"It's just that the trouble is that not only the witch who is the key, but even Yang Xi, the 'king' of this country, is here."
"What's the trouble? I feel a lot more relaxed, don't forget, Master's original instructions were to hand you over to the king for safekeeping. And the fact that he's here makes it a lot easier for me, at least I don't have to take the time to visit him. β
"Why didn't you come sooner if you were visiting?"
"It's not because my sister came to Japan and disrupted the original plan!"
"Don't you know what it means to have a plan that can't keep up with change? I happened to meet the next young master of the Jiufa Tsuka family, where do I need the help of the king who doesn't know the details! And I'm running out of time, and you're not unaware! If we delay your master's affairs, do you think we will avoid punishment even if we do what she tells us? β
The boy and girl seem to be born with incompatibility, and they have started a new round of bickering.
The young man, who originally wanted to quarrel with the girl, heard the words "Master" and "Punishment", as if he thought of something terrible, and his body trembled and remained silent.
The mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no fault does not work for the young Lu Yinghua's master, Luo Hao and Luo Cuilian.
Because this woman is an extremely narcissistic guy, her self-centered personality is simply freewheeling, and she will beat him up if she is the only personal disciple who is slightly unsatisfactory.
Of course, a meal of flesh and skin is inevitable. In severe cases, you will have to lie in bed for several days before you can move.
The reason why Lu Yinghua is hostile to powerful and beautiful women is that his master Luo Hao is the culprit!
The boy's silence made the girl arrogant, and her attitude became more arrogant.
"Besides, do we need to seek the help of a little imp who has only been killing gods for a few months? I'm even John. Pluto. Smith dares to compete, this kind of imp can be easily defeated. β
John. Pluto. Smith, whose real name is Annie. Charlton, Campione, USA. Although she has always been active as a man, she is actually a big beauty. At the same time, he is also the sworn enemy of the god ancestor Ann Sheila's sorcerist association in the United States, "Lord of the Flies".
I really couldn't stand her attitude, and at the evil eye and the sharp-edged witch, Lu Yinghua sneered.
"Sister have you forgotten that the little ghost in your mouth has defeated the European Sword King and the old man of Woban one after another, and fought with my master for more than ten days until he was exhausted. Even so, my master was not lightly injured. In the face of a man with such great achievements and is considered the strongest king in the world, you actually look down on him so much. Reasons for my sister's failure in Los Angeles. I finally got it. β
"You guy."
"My sister didn't understand how troublesome 'Wang' was. Those people have nothing to do with experience. When they kill the gods and take away their power, they are already incomprehensible. Although my sister and I are masters, the weakest 'king' is also stronger than us. β
Lu Yinghua said darkly about the Godslayer.
"Techniques and spells, stratagems and traps. This kind of stuff doesn't work for them. I'm probably stronger than six of the eight 'kings', and my level of martial arts is higher, but I don't dare to compete head-to-head. Those people, no matter who the opponent is. Definitely the 'winner'. No matter how talented they are, or if they have a hundred years of cultivation, they can't match them at all. That's why they are called kings. β
Age 14 years. During this period, there were teenagers who spent ten years with Master. Said very heavily.
"The king and the king are the best. We just need to do our job. β
"Are you going to be called, your master?"
The most fierce, extremely martial, undefeated and in a situation of defeat.
Anshera asked, and Lu Yinghua nodded.
"To be called. Because of our own initiative, we did not greet the king in advance, which led to a great deviation in our plans, and we might even become enemies, so we must persuade her to death, and respectfully welcome her arrival. Anyway, she will come over when she meets Shenjun, what's wrong with coming over earlier, anyway, that's what I think. β
Thinking of Master's arrogance and unreasonableness, the young and vigorous young man sighed.
"Otherwise, if we fail, we don't know what kind of torture we're going to suffer β we can't even think about it. I have to be dragged out by the master again, and I will be hit hard by a few blows."
The realm of life and immortality - the secluded world.
Liliana, who is the eighth Campione, is separated from Ena Seichoin, who is forced to enter, and Tsumiko Poison Island, who takes the initiative to come in. Obviously, the time difference is only a short moment, but after coming to the secluded world, no trace of the other party can be found anyway.
It feels like someone has been deliberately separated.
The netherworld is a world in which the spiritual order is higher than the physical body, and the spiritual body is higher than the material body.
Even if the great knight, who is at the pinnacle of mankind, comes here, he will be physically uncomfortable, and a long period of stagnation will invite death.
But none of these three women are ordinary people.
Liliana not only has the protective body of the divine beast, but also usurps the power of the god and obtains the qualification equal to the god.
In the secluded world, there is no discomfort.
Qingqiu Yuan Ena is a sΓ©ance, and she will not have any accidents if she can borrow the power of the Tiancong Cloud Sword, and even her strength will increase.
Not to mention Poison Island Tsuneko, she has already gained the godhead recognized by heaven and earth, and she is a god walking on land, how can the secluded world stop her steps.
Lily is now in a mountain of nowhere.
After being swallowed up by the suspicious darkness, when you come back to your senses, you will find this place.
The smell of dirt and trees is strong. And there is a trickling stream next to it.
If the weather is nice, it's a good place to hike. But the weather is not beautiful, and it is raining now. The bean-sized raindrops slapped down on the body.
Although as a Campione, the Nether World does not cause her harm, but her physical condition has been very bad since the beginning.
Intense vomiting, chills, headache. Invaded by all kinds of discomfort, she couldn't help but worry about whether she caught a cold.
Does Campione catch a cold? It's ridiculous!
With a nervous mood, I looked around. The water in the nearby stream became very muddy. The flow rate is also very sharp. I think it's the rain that increases the amount of water. Judging from the flow of the creek, this is a rather remote deep mountain forest.
Liliana, who saw a hut in the upper reaches, began to move that way.
Although I think the hut built next to the river in the heavy rain seems dangerous, it is better to have a place to shelter from the rain than outside.
This is a small, simple makeshift house that can be insulated from electricity, gas, and running water.
The sliding door to the entrance was open, and Liliana glanced inside.
The old man, who resembles the owner of the hut, sits cross-legged in front of the classical pit hearth.
He is estimated to be over 180 centimeters tall and has a very large body. Because he was wearing only a rough kimono, he looked energetic and did not correspond to his age. It seems that very powerful muscles can probably knock out a strong person with one punch.
The old man's expression was also very quirky and stubborn, which matched his physique very well.
"Come in, Liliana. I'm sorry to call you over all of a sudden. β
He was named without warning.
At this point, Lily already understood his body.
Because, the body full of strength for the sake of fighting has already given him the answer.
The old man in front of him is God.
"My shrine maiden has caused you trouble, but bear with me a little longer, I let her do this because of my reasons."
Liliana didn't answer, but looked at him coldly, "Who are you?" What kind of god?! β
The old man replied with a hideous smile, obviously cold, but it gave people a wonderful feeling of kindness.
"I'm the man who is called the quick man. Hawkers, it doesn't matter if you call me an old man or an uncle, whatever you like. Don't call me grandpa, though. To be called by this gauze-like name, it's enough to have that bastard kid of Ena. β
"So, old man, if I'm not mistaken, your real target isn't me, right?"
"That's true, but if you come and do you, you'll still be able to get my purpose across? As soon as he said that, he arrived! β
At this time, a strong wind lifted the roof.
Liliana barely stood on her feet and looked at the sky. The rain had stopped, and a huge crack appeared in the sky. Through that crack, you can see the sky of the human world.
"What a rough and barbaric way!"
The old man laughed heartily. (To be continued......)
