Hanamaru Shrine under construction

Chapter 262

"what happened?"

Yimulian's voice interrupted Xianyu's contemplation, she came back to her senses, shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, I thought of something."

Putting away the brush, Xianyu put down the calligraphy he had practiced for two pages, turned over and jumped out of the window, trotted to sit next to the god.

Under the east window porch of the study is the river in God’s Realm. You can touch the fish swimming in the water by lying on the floor. Picking up the small fish with his claws, seeing the red carps running around, Xianyu said: "I remember, there used to be no living things in the river." When I was young, I often played with Fenglong in the water, but I didn't see any fish Swimming around, if you want to eat grilled fish, you have to go to the freshwater river outside to catch it.

"Well, Guangzhong said, it's better to keep it here." Yimulian explained.

It's better to keep it here.Xianyu silently added on Guangzhong's behalf.

Xianyu was right in thinking, Guangzhong really wanted to say that it is more delicious to be raised in the realm of the gods, but seeing Lord Fengshen's appearance of Guangfeng Jiyue, the latter one was swallowed alive.After receiving the consent of the master of the realm of the gods, besides Guangzhong, everyone also brought back fresh fish, shrimps and shellfish one after another. Under the nourishment of spiritual energy, they were fat and strong, delicious and juicy.

Yimulian didn't know what his own witch was thinking. Seeing the kitten fishing half of its body hanging below, he reached out and hugged it, which had almost fallen into the water. Looking at the river rippled by the fish, he said: " It's really good, and the river is full of life." The bleakness and loneliness of the God's Domain has been completely replaced by the vitality brought by everyone.

Xianyu nodded, her eyes were attracted by the things on the hands and clothes of the gods, she said: "Master Lian, this guy has lost his hair."

At this time, the god's clothes had already been covered with a layer of wool, and a large layer of wool could be rubbed off with a light swipe.Xianyu stretched out her hand to stroke the cat that was held in Yimulian's arms, and her palm was immediately covered with fine hair. She shook her hand and said, "Do they shed hair every day?"

"It's moulting." Yimulian shook his head and said.God's Domain has experienced winter before, and it has only recently turned into spring. The cats naturally have to replace the thick fluff that grew before.He combed down the cat's back, and then scraped out a few tufts of hair, and put them aside in a ball.

Seeing this, Xianyu muttered, "Using your hands won't help much, it would be great if you had a cat comb."

"...Cat comb?" Yimulian stopped the ball of hair.

"It's the kind of rake with fine teeth, the teeth are shorter, and it has a handle, which can scrape the hair down." Xian Yu gestured with both hands, seeing the god opposite her with confused eyes, she got up and said, "I'll draw it for you." She opened the window and went back to the study room, flipped back with a pen and paper under Ge Xian's stare, lay down on the floor with her hips pouted, and drew, "That's the shape."

"I understand." Yimulian picked up the blueprint and stood up, saying: "This is not difficult to make, I will choose the materials." For the forging god, forging itself is not as difficult as selecting materials, after all All he collects are minerals for forging artifacts, which is obviously not something that a cat can bear.

Xian Yu waved her hand and watched the god leave. After his aura disappeared from the realm of the gods, she put away her smile and leaned against the window with her arms around her knees and continued to be in a daze.Mustache walked up to her with a water glass in his hand, and made tea slowly. He glanced at Xianyu, but put the tea beside her without making a sound.

With her mouth buried behind her small arms, Xianyu's voice was muffled, and she said, "Brother, do you know Yuan Yi's family?"

"Hachimantaro." Higakiri held the cup, blew on the floating leaves, and said: "I know, he is the grandson of Yoshinobu, and he is very good as a samurai. He stabilized Genji's military power in the north and was called Tianxia The first warrior of martial arts, he was sought after by later generations as a model of Bushido."

"As expected of Uncle Lai Xin's grandson." Xian Yu suddenly laughed.

"He's probably at the foot of the mountain." Mustache said.

"Hmm..." Xianyu said sullenly.

"If you want to meet, go and meet, there is no need to worry. I have been hesitating and missed the opportunity, but I never forget it." Mustache drank the tea in his hand and added: "If you change your mind, just Come back immediately." In any case, she was not without a way out.

"Yeah!" Xianyu stood up and left the God's Domain impatiently. Obviously, she really wanted to see the child, but she just lacked a pusher.

At this time, the sun had just risen in the east outside of Shenyu, and the air was still humid and cold at night. Xianyu ran out of the shrine against the wind, his long sleeves swaying, and the hair on both sides of his bangs was blown up.The residents at the foot of the mountain had finished worshiping and left. Those who walked on the path of worship were mostly believers from the city or from other places. There were not many people, and Xianyu hurried all the way without bumping into others.

Minamoto's family, who was expelled by Yuan Zhencheng, did not dare to block the gate of the gods. After leaving the torii gate, they went to camp in the mountains.Yuan Zhencheng didn't retreat because of his departure, she still stood there, waiting with her gun in hand.Hearing the sound of messy footsteps coming from behind, he opened his half-closed eyes, and his cloudy vision instantly became clear. From time to time, a voice rang in my ear: "Could you please let me go?"

Her voice was the same as before.

Ji Jun...

Yuan Zhencheng recited silently, he pulled off the bamboo hat tremblingly, took back the pads, turned around and knelt down and said, "Yuan Zhencheng, I have seen Master Yu Ji." This kneeling was very heavy, and his knees fell on the stone steps There was an obvious sound, but it still couldn't make the samurai's body shake half a bit.

The familiar name successfully made Xianyu stop. She turned her head, only to see the figure kneeling on the ground with her head hanging, and the gray sideburns exposed under the hat.What Xianyu wanted to say was blocked back, she looked ahead, then turned her head back, walked up to Yuan Zhencheng and said, "Zhencheng, long time no see, stand up quickly."

Yuan Zhencheng didn't get up, but still kept his kneeling posture. He covered his eyes and pursed his lower lip, trying to make his voice sound more natural. I'll ask my subordinates to bring it to you." He raised his head, revealing the wrinkled face of a stranger who had been destroyed by the years, and he clearly saw in her pupils a self that even he felt strange to himself.This face... is old and ugly, and it also successfully tore the false appearance that Fu Sangshen, Qingming, and Baoxian tried their best to maintain in front of Xianyu.

Ji Jun, 40 years have passed.

Everyone is old, only you are still the same.

Xianyu took a deep breath in disbelief, in her memory, Zhencheng was still that handsome young man with high spirits.But in a blink of an eye, he became the strange appearance he is now, no trace of the past can be found no matter his face or voice, that immature face with baby fat was replaced by a skinny and vicissitudes old man.

Yuan Zhencheng is only over 50 years old this year, but his face is as old as ever. He has been guarding the foot of this mountain for 40 years, and has never moved in the wind and rain. He guards the people he serves and obeys the orders of the lord , From a young man to guarding his temples with white hair, he finally guarded his Ji Jun.

Xianyu clutched his clothes tightly with both hands, and did not speak for a long time.Yuan Zhencheng bowed his head, paused word by word, and said clearly: "Master Raikou has erased you from the family tree before going. From then on, you are no longer Genji's Ji-kun, not the daughter of Genji's patriarch, but Iga Myoshin." You are forbidden to set foot in Kyoto for another hundred years, and you are forbidden... to contact the descendants of Genji." After speaking, he closed his eyes and waited, but after waiting for a long time, he did not hear from her. Zhencheng clenched his fists and said again: " Yuji-sama, you have nothing to do with Genji. After all...you are no longer human."

"..."

Warm water drops fell from above and hit Yuan Zhencheng's hand. He heard heavy breathing, but when he looked up, he only saw her back fleeing in a panic.

The fabric of Xianyu's sleeves brushed against Zhencheng's cheeks, he looked at the long path, suddenly stretched out his hands to cover half of his face and lowered his head.This time, he didn't bear it any longer, and let the tears flow through his fingers, venting his suppressed emotions for a long time, but crying and crying, he suddenly laughed again, even he himself didn't know why it happened.Perhaps it was because of the joy of seeing her again, or because of the moment she stopped when she heard her name, regardless of Master Yi's plea...

As long as this is enough.

Ji Jun... I'm sorry, I know you will be in pain, but you still have to do this.

After Raikou-sama leaves, you who have lost your loved ones can't help but look for familiar traces on Genji's body, and you will take care of the blood left by your family.But these people in Genji, they don't know you, they have their own family members, they don't care about your family affection, what they need is the care of Myokami Miko.Generation after generation, you, who are immortal, will be more and more closely connected with this family, but for these people, you are just a tool to bring benefits.

For the first time, they will appreciate your help, but soon, these will become a matter of course for Genji girls.

Go ahead... cut it off.

From now on, you are just a priestess of the gods.

Fear erodes reason, Xianyu doesn't care to say goodbye to Zhencheng, only knows to run away.On the steps of the approach, there was a family with their children who came to worship. This warm scene made Xianyu retreat. She left the steps and got halfway into the forest.

Behind the trees on both sides of the mountain road was unpruned vegetation. As soon as Xianyu left, he stepped on the empty grass and fell on the messy weeds, his palms were full of green juice.

Swinging a knife, he cut off the weeds blocking the way, and Mustache, who had been following behind, came out. He squatted in front of her and said, "I've said it all, and I'll come back immediately if I change my mind. Did Ji Jun get lost on the way? He smiled and patted her head, and said, "Hey, I found you."

Xian Yu raised her face, her hair was wrapped with grass blades, she bit her lower lip, and threw herself into Mustache's open arms.

"I... I don't have a father anymore..."

Mustache stretched out his hand to hug her, walked out of the grass, and said:

"It's okay, there's brother."
