Chapter 871: The Secret of Blood and Spirituality, Friendship

Ying talked about Gobazo who was still very energetic after turning into stone.

Hua Sanli listened and nodded.

Now I understand why Gohyukang was sealed.

"Generally speaking, as long as the demon raccoons are not too extreme, we won't send people to suppress them." She said, "After all, although the demon raccoons are naughty, they are kind and simple-minded, just like children."

"But if you dare to steal the talisman needed for the Great Purification, you will definitely be punished."

Hanasari recalls past memories.

"From what you said, since it was the 'Three Shadow Actor Group', it was most likely done by Yuishen... a Yin-Yang master in the past."

"Only Shen Qing's introduction!" Jiang Yi said, "I have heard of it."

Ying and Paimeng stood with their hands on their hips. Was Jiang Yi going to show off his knowledge again?

"Your words..." Hua Sanli looked at the talisman on Jiang Yi's waist, "Are there any immortals over there who remember him? Or maybe you heard about it from Inazuma."

"What do you mean?" Paimon asked puzzledly.

"Koshin Harunosuke, one of the 'Three Shadow Actor', once left for Liyue to study Taoism. Of course... I don't know the details." Hanasari said.

"Oh! If that's the case, Jiang Yi and he might be brothers?" Paimeng scratched his head.

"You really are..." Hua Sanli glanced at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi nodded.

The flowers are scattered and everything becomes clear.

After seeing Jiang Yi mention Koshin Harunosuke, Paimon lost interest in communicating and immediately asked, "By the way, Miss Masked Miko, are you Gobazo's fox friend? He said he doesn't know you, he only knows the 'stinky fox'. What is your fox mask...?"

She then realized that Hanasanri's mask seemed not to be just a ground fox mask, but a more noble white fox mask.

"...You really flatter me too much." Hua Sanli smiled bitterly, "He is talking about the daughter of Baichen bloodline, who is called 'Hu Zhai Gong' by people. In the past, she was regarded as a fairy fox for worshipping gods in some places."

"Konsai Palace?" Paimon and Ying felt that they had heard of it. It was in Konda Village.

"Both the Sky Fox and the Earth Fox were once her messengers. After she left, the Sky Fox and the Earth Fox turned into stone statues to conserve their strength, waiting for her return so that they could once again stroll with her in the grass fields of the White Fox Field." Hanasari had said this before, and now she spoke in more detail.

"The foxes walking on Narukami Island today, because she is gone, have less blood and spirituality than the foxes back then."

Jiang Yi fell into deep thought after hearing this.

He discovered a long time ago why the fairies of Liyue and the demons of Inazuma had become extremely rare compared to history.

It seems that these strange beings are becoming increasingly difficult to be born.

Even if they are born, they will be weaker than before.

Those terrifying elemental creatures and demons that once existed in the world have not appeared any more recently.

Liyue calls the future "the era of humans", which seems to make sense.

The world and heaven of Teyvat seem to be entering a turning point.

In the white fox clan, can the death of a fairy fox really affect the bloodline and spirituality of the entire clan? Is there also the influence of heaven and earth in this?

Disruption of the order of heaven.

The immortal way has the luck of the immortal family. Do fox immortals also have the luck of their clan? Luck, bloodline, spirituality, strength, etc. are all tied to one person, and life and death affect the entire clan.

Or maybe the power of one person can lead to the sublimation of the tribe, but after his death, the tribe will degenerate.

Inazuma called the earth veins the spirit veins, and he seemed to have heard another explanation somewhere: "Ordinary foxes stop talking and lose their magic power as the spirit veins of their clan become thinner."

This seems to be the text about Inazuma Fox in the game.

Many things in Teyvat cannot seem to be explained solely by elemental power, or in other words, spiritual veins are a combination of earth veins, elemental power, luck, and so on.

If we look at history, the entire spiritual vein of Teyvat is thin, so the essence is hard to find and the devil is hard to emerge.

Jiang Yi felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

What follows is not a “weak law” or a “last law”.

Clearly from various traces, the power of elements and ancient power are rebounding, such as the elemental dragon, the silver-white ancient tree...

“It seems that there is nothing incongruous in viewing the decline as the wear and tear of the entire ethnic group and the entire world?” Jiang Yi discovered that the unfounded sense of crisis behind him was still chasing him even after he became half a god.

and also……

The forest was once guarded by many monsters. Although the spiritual veins are still there, it has become extremely quiet and there are hardly any monsters to be seen. There are only statues of raccoon monsters.

Liyue’s former immortals, such as the Emperors, Gods, and Yakshas, were also turned into statues.

Jiang Yi suddenly lost the mood to appreciate the girl's beauty.

"Gobazo said 'the winner hasn't been decided yet'..." Ying began.

"That thing is like this. Do you know that Gobazo's full name is 'Hidden God Baoshengsi Zheng Gobazo'?" Hua Sanli's voice brought Jiang Yi back to his senses.

"Although Gobazo is dull and mischievous, he is also loyal and kind. Therefore, from a long time ago, 'Konosaigū' wanted to lead him onto the right path."

Hidden gods, children who appear in the evening, play until late, or play hide-and-seek, monsters.

To preserve life is to protect the reproduction of life.

Si Zheng was the person who supervised the drinking ceremony or host-guest banquet in ancient times.

"In order to make him obey the control of Lord Thunder God, Kitsusai Palace plotted against Gozo and Lord Thunder God, and managed to have Gozo appointed as 'Hosei Sizheng' to manage the Antai of the Zhenshu Forest."

"So, when the sky and the earth became dark, Kitsusai-gū was worried that Gohyukō would stand up and fight against an absolutely powerful enemy in order to protect the forest, and die as a result."

The emotions in the flowers became richer, revealing a hint of nostalgia.

"So, I deliberately challenged him with the game of hide-and-seek that the demon raccoon is good at..."

It's clearly just a memory, but those words seem to be ringing in my ears.

"Look, you stinky fox, I will never lose to you when it comes to playing hide-and-seek."

"Oh, is that so? Then you should just hide away."

"The Guardian Forest is our territory. You will never find it."

"I don't believe it. Listen carefully, you must hide well. Don't let anyone find you..."

This memory that does not belong to me has made me laugh and feel sad on my own.

Hanasari is not annoying.

"'Gohyukura, I must... no matter what happens, it's all my trick to lure you in. Don't be fooled and don't show up.' She said."

"'Of course, you stinky fox. This time I will definitely defeat you and make you admit defeat sincerely.' Gobazo said. And so, this endless competition began."

Hanasari felt that her face was too filthy to be seen by others, and there must be too complicated emotions revealed.

Ying and Paimon quieted down.

This is a touching friendship.

Jiang Yi's thoughts were blocked.

What is in front of me is Hanasari, not Kitsai Palace.

"In the morning there is a beauty who boasts about her career, but in the evening she becomes a pile of bones and rots in the countryside."

These words that Hua Sanli said in the past are even more sad.

Listening to history, feeling time, so close.

Everyone's story is as small as dust in the universe, but the sand of time is as heavy as a mountain, shining immortally.

I seem to be too sentimental. Jiang Yi laughed at himself. Nothing is perfect in the world. There are only joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, just like the moon waxing and waning. Isn't this common sense?

There's just a bit of unwillingness and fear in my heart that I look at others as I look at myself.

"...So, Gobazo is still waiting for the fox to go back and find him, right?" Ying said.

"According to the story you heard from Gobazo, it should be like this..." Hanasari nodded, "After waiting for a while, Gobazo felt something was wrong and started making a scene everywhere. In order to lure out Kitsaigu, he even stole the talisman."

Hanasari looked into the distance; the cliff blocked her view of the Guardian Forest.

"He didn't know that this was an item needed for the 'God's Sakura Purification', but thought that this comb was very important to the Kitsai Palace. Later, it was sealed in stone by the God of the Universe."

Ying asked again: "What about Huzhai Palace?"

Hanasari was silent for a moment: "... swallowed by darkness. Finally, after the darkness was slain, it returned to the land of Narukami along with the mud."

Ying asked: "Then who are you?"

Paimon waited curiously for the other party's answer.

Hanasari said, "Me? As you can see, I am Hanasari, but I am just a shrine maiden who hopes to use your power to exorcise evil spirits."

Her tone was flat and seemed a little dull.

Ying frowned, feeling that the other party was still speaking insincerely, "That's not the question."

Paimon nodded: "Mask... Miss Hanasari, I found it strange before. You know a lot of stories about the past that most people don't know. You even know the magic of the raccoon and can make a raccoon cat."

“I don’t know much about current events,” she said. “It’s like I’m someone who came here from hundreds of years ago…”

Hanasari faced their inquiries in silence.

"We've seen someone similar to you with the same name in our memories before..." Paimon became wise.

"So..." Ying decided to let Paimon give the answer.

"Actually, you are just like Gobazo, a demon raccoon that was sealed hundreds of years ago!" Paimon said firmly.

"..."Ying was full of question marks.

"..." Jiang Yi felt that it was stupid to have high hopes for Paimon.

Hua Sanli didn't know whether to feel relieved or shocked and angry.

"No, it's not like that..." She subconsciously waved her hand to deny Paimon's answer.

"Hmm?" Paimon felt that according to reasoning, this should be the truth.

Why did Yandora stick her head out again, looking like you are an idiot.

"I..." Hanasari revealed a little to avoid Paimon's misunderstanding, "I inherited her memory. But for other things, please forgive me. Now is not the time to talk about it."

She turned around. "I promised you before in that cave. When the time comes, I will tell you everything."

Paimon was helpless and looked at Ying: "What should I do? I think I messed up again."

"I believe her. That's it." Ying said.

Paimon nodded and decided to agree with Ying's attitude.

"Thank you for your understanding." Hua Sanli said, "Then, we will say goodbye here for the time being."

Ying and Paimon waved goodbye.

"I am leaving you alone, my heart is drifting with the white clouds."

"I will pray for you at the well in Konda Village, at the roots of the Thunder Sakura tree that you successfully purified."

"When all five roots are purified, please come to me there."

Hanasari was ready to disappear.

Suddenly I heard Jiang Yi's words.

"Since we have met, why should we leave each other?"
