When Jiang Bai woke up, the sun had already come out, and the coffin next to him had been opened, and people didn't know where to go, but Hu Tao obviously hadn't gotten up yet.

Jiang Bai leaned over Hu Tao's coffin, leaned his ear on it and listened for a while, the breathing inside was steady, and he obviously hadn't woken up yet.

Jiang Bai waved his hand, and half of the coffin lid disappeared, revealing the fragrant walnuts sleeping inside.

Hu Tao's sleeping position was unstable, the pillow that was supposed to be pillowing her head appeared in her arms, and the quilt was kicked into the corner of the coffin, as if because she was not sleeping comfortably, she turned over with the pillow in her arms, revealing her snow-white waist.

Jiang Bai's head rested on the edge of the coffin to watch her sleep, and he couldn't help but reach out and poke her face.

The sleeping hall master is so cute

"Don't make a fuss." Hu Tao muttered unconsciously and turned over again.

Jiang Bai scratched a dog's tail grass next to her and tickled her, "Hall Master, get up." ”

"Ahh

Hu Tao sneezed and sat up in a daze with a pillow.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, "What time is it?"

"I don't know, it should be eight o'clock."

Jiang Bai set up a hut for her to change her clothes, "Hall Master, you get up first, I'll go get breakfast." ”

Hu Tao nodded, yawned, fell asleep again.

It's still early, and I'll go to bed again.

Jiang Bai went with her, took out the noodles from Sanqingling and began to cook.

A bucket stepped on the dew on the blades of grass and came out of the woods, holding a bird's nest in his hand.

He proudly showed the bird's nest full of eggs, "Ah Bai, you're up, I found a lot of birds' eggs, you can add food!" ”

The corners of Jiang Bai's mouth twitched, "Are you having trouble with bird eggs?" ”

Since the last time the bird poop fell out of his mouth, Ichito couldn't get along with the bird.

"I wanted to catch some rabbits, but these rabbit pheasants ran fast, and I finally found one, but it disappeared after a while."

In order not to return empty-handed, he had to go up the tree to dig the bird's nest.

"Give it to me, just add an egg to the noodles."

Just as a few of them finished their breakfast and were about to continue their research on the abandoned shrine, Sora and Paimon came in the sun.

"Jiang Bai, Hu Tao!" Seeing them, Paimon waved excitedly.

Jiang Bai was a little surprised, "Yo, have you finished checking elsewhere?" ”

"Nope!"

Paimon briefly talked about what happened yesterday,

"Yesterday I went to a place and met a shrine maiden who purified the filth of a sacred cherry tree. But she's gone after purification, let's come here, and then we'll come over. ”

"This shrine maiden is really elusive." Jiang Bai sighed with emotion.

This Miss Kazari is obviously a busy person, and she can also go on two lines.

"By the way, who is he?" Paimon pointed to Ichito.

They had met this person once when they were looking for Jiang Bai, but they had only seen it, and they didn't know it.

"How can you fly and talk?" Ichito looked at her curiously, and reached out and tugged at the small cloak behind her.

"I'm not a little bit, I'm Paimon!" Paimon's cheeks puffed out.

"Paimon, yes, listen up, Uncle Ben's name is Arataki Itto, and he's the boss of the Arataki faction! Ah Bai is my little brother, Master Hu, and now he is my boss."

Paimon scratched his head in confusion, "You're the boss, and Hu Tao is also the boss, why are there so many bosses?"

Kong looked at Jiang Bai with dead fish eyes, "Xiao Jiang, also ask me to listen to the boss." ”

"If you also want to be my boss, it's not impossible for me to call you the third boss."

Also the three bosses! Is that still the boss!

Empty rolled his eyes, not wanting to deal with this guy who is all over the world.

"My name is Sora, and I'm a traveler who is currently traveling in Inazuma." Sora introduced himself to Ichito.

"I've seen you on a wanted post!"

Sora was a little embarrassed, and his wanted warrants were really plastered all over Inazuma.

"Don't worry about these little things, let's go and have a look inside that shrine." Sora changed the topic and walked towards the shrine.

Coming to the deserted shrine, the figure of Kazari finally reappeared.

Kazari took a few people to a Sky Fox statue, "The town is in this Sky Fox statue, and it takes [pardon] to break the seal and get the town thing." ”

"Pardon?" Hu Tao pulled out the book he found yesterday.

"There is indeed a record of the pardon on it, but the specific content is not written, so do you want us to find the pardon?"

"Don't bother, I just do."

Kazari stood in front of the statue and spoke softly:

"Naruto God forgiveness, Baichen bloodline, fried tofu come quickly!"

After the pardon was spoken, the carved patterns on the statue bloomed, and the town floated out of it.

Hu Tao handed the book to Hanazari, "This should be a more important book for you, you can keep it." ”

Kazari didn't take it, "It's also hard to return it to the Narukami Taisha." ”

"Can't I give it to you?"

"Truth be told, I'm not really a shrine maiden, I'm just a memory that has been left behind."

"Huh?" Hearing this, several people were confused.

"Back then, Kitsunaya Palace died to protect Narujin Island, and the memory was preserved and absorbed by the sacred cherry blossoms. And I am the filth condensed from the memories of the Fox Palace. ”

"What!"

Jiang Bai looked left and right, and saw no signs of filth on her body at all.

Hu Tao is not too strange, over the years, I have seen a lot of strange things.

"No wonder, you rely on the roots of the sacred cherry tree to exist, that's why you are so elusive."

"Doesn't that mean that you too belong to the filth that needs to be purified?" Paimon's face furrowed, a little unhappy.

It's only been a short time since they've known each other, but she's already treated her as a friend.

If you want to purify your friends, you will inevitably be unhappy.

"Yes, when the final purification is done, I will also leave." Kazari's tone was calm.

For her, that's what existential means.

"Can you not purify it?" Paimon couldn't bear it.

Kazari shook her head slightly, looking at the sacred cherry tree at the top of Mt. Kage.

"No, once too much filth accumulates, the sacred cherry tree will wither. In my memory, the sacred cherry tree withered hundreds of years ago, and I don't remember exactly how it was restored, but I know that someone performed a great purification."

"At least there have been hundreds of years of purification, it seems that the situation of the Divine Sakura Tree is not optimistic" Jiang Bai immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, isn't Yae Miko here? Can't she do the purification? ”

With Yae Miko's character, it is impossible to have such a big omission.

Speaking of Yae Miko, Kazari's tone was obviously much softer.

"At that time, Inazuma's situation was very critical, and Kitsunaya Palace tricked her into taking over the Narukami Shrine at that time, and many things did not have time to be explained."
