Chapter 878 Fox Mask, White Star Ring

Shenlifu.

In the courtyard, Jiang Yi told Kamisato Ayaka the entire process of the "Shinzakura Great Purification", and in the process filled in the incomplete "Shinzakura Great Purification Summary".

Ying and Paimon took a rest at Kamisato's house, and went excitedly to receive the community magistrate title and Narukami Taisha reward that Kamisato Ayaka had applied for them.

“In the eternal kingdom, even things that are short-lived should be eternal.” Jiang Yi put down his pen and finished the last part of “The Essentials of the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura” with a smile.

"If you have some free time, I'll take you to the bottom of Yingxiang Mountain."

“The dead cherry blossoms come back to life, the scorched earth turns green, the sun hits the tree roots, bringing the fragrance of earth and grass… It is the beauty of spring blossoming after the dead and cold night.”

He was not in a hurry to send the photos taken with the camera to Yu Linghua. Such a beautiful scenery would be more amazing only by seeing it in person.

Looking at the photos in advance actually makes it less interesting.

"Hmm!" Kamisato Ayaka showed her longing, "I actually regret not participating in the Divine Sakura Purification with you guys."

"When Miss Hanasari obtains a body, introduce her to me!"

It's great that the newborn girl who was the result of the longing and memory of Master Hu Zhaigong can stay in the world because of Jiang Yi! All the regrets and injustices have a perfect ending.

"Of course!" Jiang Yi closed the "Summary of the Divine Sakura Purification" with the ink already dried and nodded.

"By the way, I have to go to Inazuma Castle, so I can't accompany you for the time being." He hesitated.

"I'm not the kind of girl who just clings to others. If you have your own things to do, just do them!" Kamisato Ayaka chuckled, "Besides, I have a lot of things to do too."

"Then before leaving..." Jiang Yi looked at Linghua with a smile.

"Huh? You...why are you looking at me like that again..." Kamisato Ayaka's ears felt hot, and she turned her head slightly, and immediately understood Jiang Yi's thoughts.

"Just... just for a moment..."

Under the gaze that broke through the ice crystals, she helplessly clenched her closed dance fan and raised her pretty face with trembling eyelashes.

There's really... nothing I can do.

Jiang Yi put his arms around him, leaned forward and lowered his head.

This is too long.

It was as if the fire of desire was slightly satisfied, or as if a spark had been ignited and buried within the body, seemingly extinguished but in fact remaining, becoming an increasingly fierce heat.

"Ding".

The wind chimes are crisp.

Jiang Yi ate a popsicle and walked in the bustling Inazuma City.

All the way to Hanamizaka.

It’s not that I’m looking for Xiao Palace.

But when I got here, I still said hello to Xiao Gong's parents.

I learned from Uncle Ryunosuke that Naganohara Fireworks Shop received a large number of orders from the leader of the fleet from Liyue, and Xiaogong went to look for materials. I don't know when he will be back.

"Beidou?" Jiang Yi looked around the street. Beidou and Manye came to Inazuma City and seemed to have not left yet. It was very likely that there was a chance to meet them.

He didn't take the initiative to look for it. Today, his main goal in coming here was...

"Hello there!"

"Can you help me create a magical instrument that carries the thoughts of the people in the past according to this diagram?"

Jiang Yi came to the "Tianmu Blacksmith Shop" and took out a map.

"You are..." The owner of Tianmu Blacksmith Shop, who was originally hunched over with his hands behind his back watching his apprentice Ah Chuang hammering the sword steel, now raised his old face with gray hair and eyebrows.

"That day, the one who came with Xiao Gong..."

"See you on a moonlit night, Lord God!"

Jiang Yi's reputation spread throughout Inazuma, and Tianmu Shiwu recognized him at a glance.

"No need to call me that, I'm just a customer." Jiang Yi shook his head.

"Then I'll call you my guest." Tianmu Fifteen stretched out his wrinkled hand, "Can you show me the atlas?"

"Sure!" Jiang Yi handed it over.

This map comes from Hua Sanli's memory.

In other words, the memory of Kitsusai Palace in Hanasari's memory.

The memory was revealed and a magical instrument atlas was written called "Ring of White Star".

"I have prepared the embryo of the magic weapon from the North Continent, the amethyst block ore that only exists on the Inazuma Islands, and the white iron block ore that contains the memory of the battle..."

"If possible, I hope it can be expedited!"

Jiang Yi spoke.

For him, digging treasure from the earth veins was easy. The raw materials and ores that were hard to come by were just things he could pick up casually, including Mora.

"The Ring of Baichen..." Tianmu Fifteen sighed, "It's the magic weapon of the Baichen clan!"

"Yes!" He nodded. "Our 'Tenmoku Ryu' is one of Inazuma's 'Five Thunder Traditions'. We will definitely not disappoint our guests."

"Thank you very much." Jiang Yi bowed.

The Five Transmissions of Thunder and Lightning, passed down to General Raiden, is the most profound forging school in Inazuma. If it is handed over to the "Tenmoku Blacksmith Shop", there is no need to worry about the quality of the magic weapon.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Although the ancestor of all immortals, Emperor Yanwang, is a master of weapon forging, and Jiang Yi's immortal inheritance also contains some knowledge of forging immortal weapons, the "Ring of White Star" is Inazuma's magic weapon after all, and the techniques required are slightly different.

So, he decided to entrust it to someone else.

After handing over the materials and deposit, Jiang Yi headed towards the White Fox Field.

In his hand he held a white fox mask.

It was the one that Hanasari had worn before.

"Have you really decided to use this as your main body?" Jiang Yi asked at last. "Although this is indeed the best in terms of adaptability, but... we can change the plan and look for other options."

"That's it! I don't want to forget my origins and deny my past." Hua Sanli's voice sounded in Jiang Yi's mind.

"Well then..." Jiang Yi came to a patch of grass in the White Fox Wilderness, "I'll start."

After waiting for Hua Sanli's response, he took out a set of ritual items from the cave. It was the altar used by the Liyue immortals and alchemists.

On the altar, the white fox's face is placed in the middle.

On the left, there are three faces of celestial foxes with pointed chins, and on the right, there are three faces of earthly foxes with rounded chins.

It contains the memory of the Inazuma Festival and is an ancient fox mask that Jiang Yi carefully selected from the community officials to match the mysterious white fox mask that serves as the main body.

Many fox masks were lined up in a row.

Although the base color is all white, the eyebrows and eyes painted on the fox faces are of different colors, and even the expressions are different.

The face of the white fox is red and happy.

The faces of the celestial fox are the orange angry fox, the blue sad fox, and the cyan fearful fox.

The faces of the Earth Fox are the yellow Love Fox, the green Evil Fox, and the purple Lust Fox.

In Inazuma there is a kind of Tsukumogami monster called "Menreiki".

The Inazuma people believe that all things have spirits, so they believe that...the masks that can be worn by people themselves contain some kind of spiritual power.

If an old mask is left for a long time, it will gradually turn into a Tsukumogami.

It is just an ordinary mask during the day, but at night it will run out of the wall and move silently.

In Inazuma, there are several types of masks that are most typical and integrated into daily life, including fox masks, ghost masks, masks of evil generals, masks of Prajna, masks of wrongful death... They appear in festivals, the shogunate, and prisons.

The new bodies chosen by Jiang Yi and Hua Sanli are the bodies of monsters based on the "Menreiki" of the Hundred Ghosts.

Only the fox mask is used. If it becomes a monster, the race can be called "Thousand Fox Faces". It is neither a fox nor a human, but a fox with a thousand changing faces. It combines the seven emotions of the human world: "joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire" as its spirit, the scarlet cherry as its soul, and the monster power as its body. It is called "Hana Sanli".

Jiang Yi used the Xuanhuang True Qi and divine power to refine the seven fox masks, making their material strong and rich in the power of divine favor.

The mortal face is transformed into a divine face.

The talisman pen is held in the hand, with bits of lightning and wind elements mixed with the scarlet cherry flowers to form talismans and spells, which are engraved inside the seven fox masks. This is enchantment, which grants the power of the elements.

On the altar, the Dharma flag was fluttering, and seven fox masks flew into the air, surrounding Jiang Yi.

The expressions above became vivid, like laughing, crying, angry, happy, loving, sad... gradually overlapping together, as if turning into a single fox face with constantly changing expressions.

"The spirit has seven emotions, and the fox sheds its body to become an immortal."

"The wind and thunder obey the call, and the red cherry blossoms become souls."

"Here was created - One Hundred Demons, One Thousand Fox Masks, and Hanasakuri!"

"Under the order of heaven, you are protected by me, you will not enter the cycle of elements, you will not return to the earth veins, your consciousness... will be immortal because of me."

Jiang Yi attached his own laws to it and wrote down Hua Sanli's real name on a talisman, so that his blessing could always spread to Hua Sanli's body and soul through Taoist magic, so that she would not be absorbed by the earth veins of Teyvat.

There was a sound of muffled thunder in the sky and the wind started to blow.

The flowers and plants in the White Fox Field leaned towards the altar in worship. Countless scarlet cherry blossoms came from afar, forming a whirlwind of scarlet petals that surrounded the entire altar.

There were also red cherry blossoms flowing out of Jiang Yi's body, flying towards the sky. That was Hanasari's consciousness and Kitsuzai Palace's memory.

The two streams of cherry blossoms merged, and the eyes of the Thousand Fox Mask suddenly opened, revealing a pair of golden fox pupils.

The cherry blossoms gathered behind the fox mask and gradually condensed into a human shape.

Gathering three thousand red cherries and summoning ten miles of wind and thunder, a woman in white wearing a thousand fox masks stood in front of Jiang Yi.

The golden pupils on the fox face closed, and the mask split into seven. After circling along the Wind, Thunder and Crimson Sakura, it gradually dissipated in the hands of the woman in white.

Her eyes slowly opened, black and white clearly, as she looked at the White Fox Field under the sun.

Her short black hair flutters in the wind, and her fair face is clean and refreshing. She is not particularly beautiful, but very attractive.

Perhaps, at first glance, one can even come up with words like ordinary and common.

But in terms of appearance, she meets the standards of being a priestess of God and is much better than ordinary people.

"Everyone loves beauty." Jiang Yi looked at Hua Sanli, who was dressed in white, and said, "Can you tell me why you chose this appearance?"

"Master Jiang Yi, you are curious indeed." Hua Sanli chuckled. This was the first time Jiang Yi saw this masked witch smile. "Because this is me."

"In Kitsusai-kun's memory... Kitsusai-kun once performed with a demon girl with a face as beautiful as the moon in front of the emperor, and applauded her sword dance. I hope her beauty, bravery and demeanor can be praised by people thousands of years later."

"While blessing, Master Kitsai said in his heart, 'When I think of the beauty of that girl who makes me feel ashamed, I can't help but want to cover my current appearance with a mask...'"

Hanasari said this, putting her hands behind her back, hiding her hands in her neatly drooped sleeves, just like she did when she was the masked shrine maiden before.

"Wanting beauty... is something that belongs to the Lord Kitsusai Palace, and I am just a small flower scattered." She bowed slightly, "As long as I have a face that can be shown to others, I will be satisfied."

"Master Jiang Yi, you can order me around as you please from now on!"

"I was given new life by you, so I am also your follower, a priestess serving you, the god!"

"After all, apart from being a miko, I don't know much about other things."

Hanasari is obviously not a fox, but when she smiles she looks like a fox.

The face of a thousand foxes, the body of a demon with the human heart of a fox.

"Whatever you want!" Jiang Yi put away the altar. "It's been a long time since you last saw the human world. Come with me to see this Inazuma! I'll take you wherever you want to go."
