Chapter 865 The mysterious man and the witch meet

"You are... the person who seems very kind on the surface." The woman asked doubtfully. This person gave her a feeling of nostalgia.

"Ah, long time no see. You're still so ruthless to me..." The man smiled bitterly at the masked witch who appeared in front of him, "...No. Who are you?"

He became alert, then relaxed. "With this kind of aura, is it time for the 'Great Purification' again?..."

He muttered to himself as he sensed the foul smell.

"I am... my name is 'Hana Sanri'." The witch began.

"Hana Sanli?" Paimeng was full of surprise.

"Is it the same person?" Ying asked solemnly.

The memories here are clearly very old. According to the "Essentials of the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura", it is at least sixty years, or more than sixty years, but Hanasakura's voice is still very young.

She continued to listen.

"...No need to say more. I understand." The man said after taking a look, "I thought she was back. So that's what happened."

"What's going on?" Paimon hated this kind of riddle man.

"Yeah. Nothing much. Miss Hanasari, nice to meet you." The man was polite and his tone was gentle.

"I... I remembered. About 'Sakura'. About you. About Raiden." The witch suddenly said.

The man heard this and teased, "Hmm. Ah, that's not right. Maybe the young man in front of you is actually the transformed one of 'Gohyukura'. After all, you haven't seen me in person, right, Miss Hanasari?"

Jiang Yi looked at the man with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The witch said, "From what I remember, it doesn't make much difference."

Man: “Eh! That’s too much—”

The man recalled something funny and responded.

The thoughts and memories within this earth fox statue end.

Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng continued to search.

On each statue, they saw the man and the witch communicating with each other, or the witch alone, or the man alone talking to himself.

"This is... my former... No, not mine. It's her former territory." The witch said strange words.

"...Yeah, it's decided. I won't deal with her this time. Anyway, it's not my job, and she's not a monster like Luowusha that will scream and attack me." The man seemed to be ready to take action, but then he gave up the killing intention and sighed: "I'm tired today. I thought I met a friend I would never see again. This feeling is really tiring..."

The history contained here is undoubtedly very interesting.

In Jiang Yi's heart, the width of the long river of history continues to widen. From Mondstadt to the snowy mountains, from Liyue to Inazuma, the heavy and ancient history is rushing through time.

In his eyes, the witch said goodbye to the man indifferently, and the man listened to her emotionless words with a wry smile.

"In the morning there are beautiful women boasting about their careers, but in the evening they become bones rotting in the suburbs." The witch left.

Jiang Yi couldn't stand listening to this kind of poetry, it was too sad.

"It would be so nice to stay with Linghua." He sighed helplessly.

The man in her eyes also sighed: "What a bummer! For me, it was a 'half' touching reunion. No, it felt more like a quarter? Ah, you're leaving just like that? What a disgusting guy..."

Ying and Pai listened to the Riddler inside telling riddles with expressionless faces.

Later, there was finally a clue.

After a certain "she" left, the Inazuma monster Gobazo seemed to be causing trouble everywhere with his clansmen.

The man, who had originally planned to turn a blind eye to the other party staying quietly in the Guardian Forest, made up his mind to go and deal with the monster.

The shrine maiden lamented, "The shrine has lost its master and its worshippers, and has become dilapidated in such a short time..." and mentioned a key.

Ying and Paimon remembered the key, which seemed to have been taken by them.

The man looked at the witch with a bit of disappointment as she left. "If I want to take in a disciple someday, I must find a pretty big sister with a cheerful personality. Yeah. That's it."

Pai Meng suddenly glanced at him and inexplicably felt that this person and Jiang Yi were of the same kind. He did not consider a boy as his disciple, but considered an older sister.

"Then, what about the third sentence... ah, yes. This one is good - 'Fried tofu, come quickly'!" The man laughed, "Since this is her territory, it is the land of Bai Chen's lineage. Let's use this one."

The content of the third sentence in the Yanling format can be freely expressed.

"It seems that I can use this method of Word Spirit to match my Hundred Craftsmen and Hundred Ghosts." Jiang Yi had an idea, "The Immortal's Decree... the magic and Word Spirit derived from me..."

He suddenly smiled and made a note of the matter of compiling the spell of words and spirits.

In this way, the ghosts will have more means and power to protect themselves.

"The third sentence is this?" Paimon was surprised. "Hmm! It's really catchy! Very tasteful!"

Ying looked at Paimeng speechlessly. Is he really tasteful? It seems that this is the case for foodies.

"Okay, I know all three sentences." Paimon put his hands on his hips, "I was already done for. There won't be anyone in the world who knows this kind of random spell. I didn't expect the mirror given by the miko of Narukami Taisha Shrine to be so powerful. We can finally do what Hanasanari asked us to do."

"But we still have to be careful." Ying said, "There's something strange about this flower scattered."

"Indeed!" Paimon nodded, "Especially after seeing these scenes."

"Before in Konda Village, she used a power unknown to us to follow us and observe us secretly... She said she was concerned about my actions and whether I could heal the 'tree roots'." Ying said, "I suspect she is still following us..."

"Uh~!" Paimon shuddered and hid between Jiang Yi and Ying. "Come to think of it, she did appear like a ghost. She suddenly appeared after we solved the barrier of Konda Village."

"She also said that due to some physical condition, she couldn't go with us, nor could she complete the destruction and purification of the barrier. She hoped that we could help her destroy other barriers."

"But they said we can rendezvous!" Paimeng said, "Jiang Yi, do you think we have someone behind us now? Our safety is in your hands. After all, Ying is a cute girl, right?"

"Paimon, that's weird." Ying complained, "I'm not scared!"

Jiang Yi said calmly, "Yes! Someone has been following us!"

"Ah?" Paimon was startled. "Really?"

She looked around but saw no one.

"Look at the shadow of the tree, suddenly a fox mask appears, look at the statue, suddenly another fox mask appears..." At night, everything is dim and looks eerie, especially this kind of abandoned shrine. Jiang Yi tells the ghost story in a flat tone, "The next second, it's right in front of you."

“Stop talking, stop talking…” Paimon felt his hair stand on end. “If you keep talking, I’ll…”

"You peed your pants!" A voice scared Paimon so much that he flew up.

"Yandora!" Paimon reacted and became angry when he saw Yandora who suddenly spoke.

Ying and Jiang Yi watched the two people quarreling. In the silent night, the sound could be heard from far away, startling the crows.

"She said..." Ying looked at Jiang Yi.

"The cherry blossoms on the east and west coasts bloom at different speeds. The flowers on the southern and northern branches bloom and fall at different times. But everything on this island is under the shade of her... the 'divine cherry blossoms'."

"There are still flower petals falling like snow on this island. I will definitely be lucky enough to see you again."

"It seems that you know how she acts?" she asked.

"Yes!" Jiang Yi said, "Get ready and go meet her!"

Come to the sealed town.

"Envoy of Mingshen, bloodline of Baichen, fried tofu, come quickly!" Ying recited the correct words to break the seal.

The talisman here is a wooden stick with a bunch of white paper hanging on the top, which is the actual coin stick used in the shrine maiden ritual.

According to the clues, use the key to open the door and enter an underground cave.

Jiang Yi looked at Ying, put in the talisman, and started to decrypt it.

The filth under the roots of the tree condensed into a monster called "Fallen Warrior". This monster is a terrifying phantom condensed from the warrior's soul, memory, and other ominous forces.

Although it is in human form, it is not a human.

The power of purification emerged from Ying's body, destroying the black and red "Fallen Warrior".

Jiang Yi absorbed a breath of air, held it in his hand, and watched it enter his body and be embraced by the power of the dark universe.

"Thank you for your hard work, two of you. No! Three of you, a lot of you!"

A voice suddenly appeared, and a masked fox witch stood in the cave.

"It appears as expected!" Ying held the sword.

Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi and put his hands on his hips: "No! Why are you following us again? Why don't you come and say hello?"

"I'm really sorry. Some things should be called 'habits'." Hanasari said.

"Hello!" Jiang Yi greeted.

"Hello!" Hanasari responded politely.

Paimeng suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become strange. It must be because Jiang Yi had eaten too many small breads, which made her feel that Jiang Yi's attitude towards every girl except her was too nice.

No matter what kind of magical species the other party is.

……

The scene was quiet for a moment.
