Chapter 1132: What Happened That Year, the Strange One, the Country Collapsed

The next day, the Rongcai Festival opened.

Everyone enjoys the festival for a while.

Jiang Yi took Barbara, Noelle, Hu Tao, Shen He, Klee and other partners to play the "Moon Chapter and Star Sentence" game for shooting pictures, the "Machine Chess Story" from Liyue, the "Flower Shadow Jade Courtyard" game for arranging flowers, and the "Lone Sword Competition" game for fighting and sparring...

He encountered a human warrior who was enchanted with a secret technique and could release sword energy, a terrifying ninja dog, and Taromaru, the owner of the Mokuro Tea House.

He has many different techniques, can become even angrier, and can create many phantom bodies. He is the strongest warrior in this event.

Paimon discovered for the first time: "So I can't beat a dog?"

Let alone Taromaru, Paimon might not be able to defeat any of the guard ninja dogs currently being trained in Hime Village. Jiang Yi snorted twice.

There are already A, B, C, and D Onmyoji classes and Ninja Dog classes in Himi Village, and Paimon is the kind of waste material that even Class D won't accept.

The happy time ended when Maple Leaf came back.

The decline of the Inazuma "Five Thunderbolts" was very rapid. In just a few decades, three of them encountered various misfortunes and eventually disappeared completely.

Some people speculated that these misfortunes were actually the result of someone's secret manipulation, someone wanted to exterminate the "Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning". For everyone, that person was a character similar to "Black Lord" in the story of the Five Songs Fairy.

Fortunately, the Five Legends of Thunder and Lightning were not completely destroyed.

However, because they were not completely wiped out, many Inazuma people do not believe those alarmist rumors.

Fengyuan Manye, who found out something about the old servant, said, "My great-grandfather was once ordered to make an important divine sword according to an ancient forging diagram."

"The failure of sword forging that year was ultimately attributed to 'lack of skills'."

"At the deadline for delivering the swords, the swordsmiths who were unable to forge the swords fled in fear of being punished. The Kaedehara family and the shrine magistrate launched an investigation and pursued the swordsmiths."

Maple Leaf narrated the original incident in just a few words.

Kamisato Ayaka nodded. There were quite a few doubts. The swordsmiths who forged the sword were all experienced and should not have been unable to complete the divine sword.

"Maple's great-grandfather and the head of the Kamisato family caught up with the craftsmen on the beach. They encountered fierce resistance from the other side and failed to stop the defectors from leaving by boat. The head of the Kamisato family was old and was injured by the defectors. He died shortly after returning."

Jiang Yi held Kamisato Ayaka's hand.

Because the head of the family passed away suddenly, the Kamisato family was leaderless, and there were villains who took the opportunity to make trouble, so even the generation of Kamisato's father could not restore its former reputation.

And now the story of the red man of Wugexian seems to imply that the failure was because the "forging diagram" of the weapon had been tampered with like a collection of poems.

Failure is not due to skill.

"I went to find the map last night." Kamisato Ayaka took out the weapon map that had been kept in the company.

"Although the atlas is well preserved, it looks like it is at least three or four hundred years old." A voice suddenly appeared.

"Wendy?" Paimon was surprised. "Why are you here?"

"Wherever there is a story, there is me!" Wendy still reeked of alcohol, but when she walked over, the wind blew away the alcohol smell.

Jiang Yi looked at the drunkard.

The task of tasting the difference between Inazuma wine and Mond wine should obviously be left to him, the "wine taster"!

He recalled having done this job once or twice.

Barbara helped conjure up a ball of water and wet the map: "Some words are indeed blurred. This map has indeed been tampered with."

"That's really too much." Noel was a little angry. The unknown person caused five families to suffer disaster at once.

"Once the culprit is caught, we will take revenge together." Jiang Yi comforted.

In my mind, there are images of two familiar people.

"Isn't it too late?" Ying said what everyone was thinking, "It's been so long."

"It's okay. Even if you die, your sins will not be eliminated!" Jiang Yi's words made Paimeng think of the Eternal Spirit.

Well! Nothing to say.

"Even the order of life and death cannot escape Jiang Yi's law of retribution?" Hu Tao's eyes widened. This was too much. He was talking about things that disrupted the order of life and death in front of me.

Okay, add me in.

Pull them back and send them away, and the order of life and death will be restored!

Fengyuan Manye smiled and said, "Thank you, everyone. However, we have finally found the opponent. If the opponent is an old monster who has lived for a long time, I always feel that it would be too easy for him to be killed directly. If the opponent is a soul, it would be too easy for him to be brought back."

"Wow! Everyone is saying terrible things." Paimon felt that he could hold a moment of silence in advance for the person who was not sure whether he was alive or dead.

Although Barbara is kind, after learning the story of the Five Thunder Tales last night, she did not have the heart to soften for the unknown person. After all, that would be too unfair to Kamisato Ayaka and Kaedehara Manye.

"When my grandfather was young, he proposed to my great-grandfather many times that he wanted to revive the sword, but he was scolded by my great-grandfather for overestimating his own abilities." Fengyuan Manye had heard from the old servant that his grandfather once went to the shrine to get the map and reforged the sword, but failed again.

"Coincidentally, Manye talked to me on the way here." Albedo suddenly said, "Your great-grandfather once said this to your grandfather! 'You can't find the secret, and you deserve to disappear from the world.' Your grandfather was so angry that he left Inazuma directly."

"Yes." Fengyuan Manye nodded. This incident caused his grandfather to be unable to see his great-grandfather for the last time.

"If that statement is true, then I suspect...your great-grandfather at that time might have known that the failure was caused by someone's obstruction. Shouldn't the correct statement be 'You are not capable enough'? Why is it such a strange sentence now?" Albedo spoke, and everyone pondered.

"Indeed!" Fengyuan Manye said, "It seems that I have to go to the Tenryo Bugyo again. After I was wanted, the last old house left in my family was confiscated by the Tenryo Bugyo. There are some old things in it, and there may be clues."

"Then let's contact Kujo Sara!" Whenever Jiang Yi met a friend, he would give him a jade slip. Now it was very quick to contact people.

"I have met Kujo Sara before, and she seemed to want to apologize, but to me, everyone had their own beliefs and difficulties about what happened back then." Kaedehara Manye understood very well.

"Okay, Kujo Sara said he would bring people to let you enter the warehouse and return the items to you." Jiang Yi relayed.

"No, let her help sell them. The money will be used to help the poor." Fengyuan Manye was open-minded and believed in Kujo Sara's integrity. "I don't need those things anymore."

Everyone came to Tenryo Bugyo and met Kujo Sara who came to meet Kaedehara Manye in person.

"Manye, if there are any old books about steel smelting and knife forging processes among those old things, can you sell them to me? I plan to send them to Feimu Village." Jiang Yi was discussing with the two.

"Of course! I remember that there were indeed these books in it, as well as some books on plant and flower arrangement. After my great-grandfather stopped forging swords, he developed a hobby of growing potted plants. But most of those treasures were given away to others when he was seriously ill." Kaedehara Manye looked at Kujo Sara.

"Just discuss it." Kujo Sara didn't care.

"Is the price of being a god to consider the people all the time?" Paimon looked at Jiang Yi who was adding more foundation to the Feimu Village.

"And... ahem!" She realized that with so many people around, she couldn't expose Wendy's identity.

"You want to say it's me, right?" Wendy whispered in Paimon's ear, "I obviously left many secrets of wine and poetry for my people!"

"Then your people won't be able to recognize you at all, right!" Paimon rolled his eyes.

Look at Barbara, she still doesn’t know that Wendy is the god of wind.

Over there, some people went in to accompany Wan Ye in the search.

Found the item quickly.

Shen He held up a pile of boxes: "Man Ye said, these are the books you want!"

"We found the sword that Manye used to practice swordsmanship when he was a child." Kurumi held up an ordinary unsharpened katana with Manye's name engraved on it crookedly.

"My grandfather smashed my great-grandfather's favorite potted plant. Under the dead potted plant, there were some yellowed notes." Fengyuan Manye brought the potted plant that my great-grandfather had left in his will, instructing my grandfather not to throw away.

"Make it visible with water!" Use the same method to process the paper and get the handwriting.

"This is my great-grandfather's diary. It says that they didn't meet any knife makers at the seaside, but only met a 'strange man' who claimed to be the mastermind behind the scenes."

In Inazuma, a person who likes strange things refers to someone who wears strange clothes.

Fengyuan Manye continued, "The strange man claimed that he had been waiting for everyone for a long time, and threatened to destroy the Five Lightning Masters. His skills were far beyond the reach of ordinary people. In just a moment, he defeated the head of the Kamisato family and the many accompanying samurai brought by my great-grandfather."

"The head of the Kamisato family was seriously injured, but my great-grandfather was lucky enough to escape death because his hat on the top of his head was hit by a lightning."

"He could have killed my great-grandfather, but when he saw what he looked like, he stopped and asked him what his connection was with 'Niwa'."

Everyone was confused: "Niyu?"

Fengyuan Manye replied: "That was my great-grandfather's father's old surname."

"My great-grandfather was originally from a branch of the Fengyuan family. After his father disappeared, he was adopted by the main Fengyuan family."

"After listening to my great-grandfather's answer, the curious man was silent for a long time before he said, 'Tell her my name is 'Guobeng'.' Then he turned and left..."

"This she..." People from Mondstadt and Liyue were puzzled.

"It's Ying!" Zhen said in Jiang Yi's mind, "Tsk tsk, the country is collapsing?"

"He almost did part of it!" Jiang Yi replied.

So the two stopped talking.

Later, the head of the Kamisato family and the great-grandfather learned the truth about the tampering of the map, but in order to protect their descendants from being sought for revenge or encountering unexpected events when seeking revenge, and at the same time to avoid being falsely accused of having a connection with the criminals.

The two people who escaped death concealed the matter.

After all, that person was able to tamper with the general's drawings and fight against many people alone, so his identity must be extremely unusual.

"Let's go teach Ying a lesson!" Zhen suddenly had an idea.

"..." Jiang Yi was quiet for a moment, "You're the first one?"

Although it sounds a bit strange that he wants to teach Ying a lesson when this matter obviously has nothing to do with General Lei Dian.

But... Jiang Yi did not refute.

He actually wanted to see how Zhen would teach Ying a lesson.
