Chapter 866: Show off, strange dishes, alive

Hanasari didn't care about Paimon's strange look and said, "The barrier here has been successfully broken. The progress of the 'Great Purification' has been advanced a little. Thank you very much."

"The previous observations were all to see if you could successfully solve the puzzle and heal the new tree roots, so... please forgive me if I have offended you."

She had a hint of a smile on her face.

"I am loyal to the land of Narukami Island, not the Magistrate's Office. Everything I do is for the land of Narukami Island, so the barrier must be broken. You don't need to be too defensive against me."

Hanasari explained that when she was in Konda Village, she had heard rumors of conflicts between some travelers and the magistrates.

"And I was not wrong about you." She looked at Ying, "You are indeed intelligent, and you have the qualifications for 'purification'. Both prayers were confirmed."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Hearing the other party say this, Paimon felt embarrassed.

"I'm sorry for my bad attitude before." She chuckled.

"Can I ask you something? What exactly is 'Shinzakura Great Purification'? And purification? And I can't understand the book 'Shinzakura Great Purification Essentials' at all. And Miss Daocheng said that the specific method of the ceremony has been lost... How did you know about it?" Paimon asked.

What was lost was not only the ritual, but also the words that had previously broken the seal. With the disappearance of the bloodline of "Weishen", they have also become unknown.

If it weren't for the "memorial mirror", this would be an impossible task.

"Daocheng? The Daocheng you are talking about is the shrine maiden named Miri?" asked Hanasari.

"The name seems to be Yingmei." Paimon replied.

"That's right. After all, it's been so long..." A strong wave of emotions appeared in Hanasari, "Ah... well... after all, it's been so long..."

Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the ominous aura rising and falling from the other person.

"It's understandable. It's understandable. After all, so much time has passed. I'm not angry. Yes, it's my memory that is angry on its own." Hanasari's chest heaved.

Paimon was a little scared. Why did this masked witch suddenly get angry?

Hanasari took a moment to calm down, "Oh! The other question you asked, "Shinzakura Daifu Yaolue"... Can't people nowadays understand it? It's clearly written in the common written language..."

"Oh! She's the only one who doesn't understand." Jiang Yi spoke up, disassociating himself from the matter.

"Hey!" Paimon put his hands on his hips, "Why are you scolding me again?"

"Is there?" Jiang Yi was puzzled. He was not stating a fact.

Ying held his forehead with his hand. Why was Jiang Yi teasing Paimeng again?

"I understand it too, Paimon!" Ying put her hand down and said subconsciously.

Paimon suffered a critical hit.

"Paimeng is illiterate. He should learn from Yandora and read more!" Yandora suggested seriously.

Paimon suffered a second severe blow.

There is no love in this world. Destroy it!

"Haha!" Hua Sanli looked at the other people's playfulness, "Since some people don't understand, then I will explain it."

"Wait!" Paimon quickly accepted the fact that she was the most illiterate person in the room. The strange focus made her ask, "Before I explain, I want to ask, you said people nowadays, so, how old are you? I saw you in the 'memorial mirror' before."

"Paimon..." Ying looked down at Paimon speechlessly.

You are such a smartass asking a girl her age.

really……

Hanasari took a step back and said, "T-This kind of question is really rude!"

Paimon always realizes things too late when he does something wrong.

Cover your mouth in embarrassment.

Another sentence that came out of his mouth without thinking. Jiang Yi smiled and shook his head. He never changes after repeated admonitions! There is no hope.

"...In short, the Shinzakura Daifu is a ritual of 'purification'." Hanasari said, "The lightning cherry blossoms of Narukami Island can absorb the filth in the earth. But over time, the filth will accumulate."

She looked at the roots of the thunder cherry tree in the cave.

"If too much accumulates, the lightning cherry trees may wither. Therefore, every once in a while, we need to perform a 'small purification' on the roots of the lightning cherry trees scattered in five places on Mingjin Island and set up a barrier. In this way, we can give them the power of 'leaving filth'."

All around, the rich earth energy caused bright purple glowing plants to grow on the ground, and crystal butterflies with lightning elements flew by.

Hanasari explained the specific ceremony: "When the filth in the barrier accumulates enough, it is necessary to perform the 'great purification'. When performing the 'great purification', you need to obtain the talisman and break the barrier of the tree roots."

Paimon asked, "So, those samurai-like monsters are..."

"That is the embodiment of filth. It was forced out of the tree roots by the talisman and condensed into this form." Hanasari said, "I just didn't expect that it would appear in this form now... before..."

"Ah, what I mean is..." She changed the topic awkwardly, "According to records, in the past, some filth would turn into things like trains, dog gods, black jade, Umibozu, and straw raincoats. And not all of them were harmful to people. For example, Tofu Monk..."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of excitement in her tone.

Jiang Yi glanced at the evil spirit in his body, and used a barrier to separate and force out the ominous filth that was invisible and integrated into the roots of trees and even all things. He then broke the barrier and allowed it to condense into a solid entity for purification.

It is indeed a brilliant method.

I use alchemy to separate the filth, condense the filth into a solid entity, and transform it into the harmless ghost Yinmo Luogui. It is similar to the other ghosts in terms of function.

These monsters mentioned in Hanasara seem interesting. Should we incorporate our own ideas into them and create our own?

Paimon felt dizzy: "Fire...fire what? Tofu? What are those?"

Hanasari was surprised and looked at them in disbelief: "Oh, people nowadays don't know about these monsters anymore."

There is always a fox tail that is raised, a foxy smell of the Eightfold God's Son. Just now, he was paying attention to his age and unnaturally pushed the things he experienced into records. Now, he is talking about the present again. Jiang Yi spread his hands: "I have heard of it."

Ying, Paimeng: "..."

Please don't show off your knowledge in this way.

Where does the desire to show off and compare come from?

That’s great to know!

Ying and Paimeng both put their hands on their hips and looked at Jiang Yi, everything was said without words.

Jiang Yi: “…”

What's going on with the looks between you two?

"Fortunately, Yandora is not a human..." Yandora comforted herself, "However, you must study hard and not lose face for Jiang Yi. Otherwise, you will become Paimeng who knows nothing."

Without Paimon's knowledge, Yandola "gently" stepped on Paimon's foot again.

"All the filth turned into vicious fallen warriors... Is it related to Inazuma's recent events? Or is it something that happened in the past?" Hanasari thought to herself, "The filth is related to the memories and thoughts of the creatures that flowed into the earth. There is also a connection!"

"...Well, if we don't perform the 'big and small purification' and it withers...what will happen?" Paimon was a little curious.

Hanasari replied, "As I recall... No, according to records, the Thunder Sakura almost withered a few hundred years ago."

Here it comes again, meaningless insistence on age. Jiang Yi stared at Hua Sanli.

"At that time, monsters were rampant. Even the sea turned black. The Leiying tried very hard to absorb the evil aura, and in the end almost all of them withered and died." Hanasari said this and suddenly fell silent.

Ying asked, "What happened next?"

Hanasari looked at her memories and said, "What happened afterwards... I don't really know. I'm really sorry."

She said: "From the results, it seems that the problem has been solved. There are still people who have performed the 'Great Purification'."

Speaking of the "Great Purification", Yingcai began to think that two of the five places had been unlocked, so should he move on to the next location?

In order...

"By the way, you guys must be tired and hungry after going through so much. I've prepared some dishes, I hope you don't mind..."

Hua Sanli raised her hand and brought out a table full of delicious food.

Jiang Yi's eyes fluctuated.

"Wow!" Paimon sniffed his nose and touched his stomach. "Hehe, actually we went there for a meal before, but after going through this ceremony and exercising, I am a little hungry again."

"Then I won't be polite." Paimon happily looked at the "delicious-looking" meal. Although the shrine maiden was wearing a mask and looked mysterious, as long as she was invited to eat, she would be the best shrine maiden sister in all the Inazuma!

Paimon never holds a grudge. Even Jiang Yi, who often scares her, was the most handsome guy in Teyvat when he invited her to dinner.

"Well, please enjoy your meal..." Hanasari stood aside.

Ying didn't feel very hungry, but it would be nice to eat a little.

"Don't you want to eat?" Ying looked at Jiang Yi.

"It's delicious!" Paimeng glanced at Jiang Yi. She wanted to quickly pick up her chopsticks and eat her fill before Jiang Yi, this monster with a huge appetite, joined in.

"Then... take two bites!" Jiang Yi took two bites casually.

The more Ying eats, the worse it feels.

Paimon happily booked the entire place by himself.

"Strange..." Paimon fell into deep thought after finishing his meal, "I ate so much, why don't I feel full?"

"How awkward!" Ying looked at Hua Sanli.

"There must be something fishy about the food Jiang Yi doesn't eat!" Paimon's IQ was online, "Tell me! Miss Masked Witch, did you poison us?"

Okay, the IQ is only half online.

"How could I do such a thing to you three!" Hanasari expressed slander.

"Then why did Jiang Yi only eat two bites?" Paimeng put his hands on his hips. "There is nothing in the world that he can't eat. If he doesn't eat it, there must be something wrong with it."

Black lines appeared on Jiang Yi's forehead. Is he praising me or insulting me?

"And when I think about it carefully, even though I ate happily just now, now I feel like I didn't eat anything." Paimon touched his stomach, which didn't feel full, and an idea suddenly occurred to him, "It seems like Jiang Yi did this to me one day?"

"Really? Why don't I have any impression of it?" Jiang Yi dared to guarantee that he had never done it, including how to study "How did Paimon suddenly disappear? Does he really have multiple stomachs? Does the star cloak on his body have power? If he takes off the pink crown on his head and puts it on his own head, will he awaken his spatial ability? What kind of magical species does Paimon belong to? Does he have many special studies on toxic resistance?" Everything is still in the plan.

So, I feel that that sentence must be an attack of Paimon's "paranoia".

"Ugh!" Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi, "Why do I suddenly feel so creepy!"

"..." Jiang Yi smiled kindly, "It's an illusion!"

The only research he did was probably... Would an angry Paimon transform?

"...witchcraft?" Ying thought for a moment and said.

Hanasari nodded, "You seem to have a very sensitive taste bud for weird things."

She admitted without hesitation: "Anyway, please don't worry. This dish is made using the magic I stole from the demon raccoon clan. It will definitely not do any harm to you two. Well, generally speaking."

"Generally speaking...?" Ying widened her eyes. Didn't this indicate that there was something wrong?

No, Jiang Yi ate them all.

What am I afraid of.

He definitely wouldn't just watch a cute girl die without helping her...right?

Ying calmed down.

“???” Hua Sanli felt that Ying’s transformation was too fast. Where were your previous concerns and fears?

"The reason why I invited you to eat such suspicious... delicious food is, of course, to heal the remaining 'tree roots'. Not for any other purpose." Hanasari explained in a suspicious tone.

"In the Guardian Forest, there are hidden guardian objects and tree roots that need to be purified. And deep in the Guardian Forest, there seems to be an old friend."

She was uncertain: "Because it happened a long time ago. I'm not sure if he still remembers me. Or, if he hates me. He can't move freely, and can't communicate with others. After eating this, I can communicate with him."

"That's how it is!" Paimon believed it.

Ying felt that this was all a scam. She didn’t realize it just now, but this witch is a bit sinister!

At this moment, Jiang Yi felt that this witch was so vivid.

Gradually overlapping with the memories in the game.

So……

Would she be willing to live?

Words that no one can understand are whispered in my heart.
