It was already the second day when I returned to the stone statue of Five Hundred Treasures.
As he was about to get closer, Jiang Bai suddenly hesitated.
How was he going to tell Gobaizang that the stinky fox he was waiting for was already dead?
It was easy for him to say it when he was in front of Yae Shenzi, but when he was almost in front of Gohakuzo, he couldn't say it anymore.
"Um, Hall Master, how about we go to Kontian Village first, and then come back here after checking the town property there?"
"Why, can't you speak?"
Hu Tao is more experienced in this kind of thing.
After all, the Hall of Rebirth is the place closest to death, and ever since the Ye Luo Guigen business was established, the family members have to be informed of the death and sent relics from time to time. The grief of the family members there is not a lot at all.
Jiang Bai sighed, "Yes."
This is a bit different from reporting the death to a client's family.
Wubaizo is still waiting in the stone statue, just for a hope.
Nowadays, it is really difficult to break this hope.
His shoulders slumped and he was dejected, "Let's go to Konta Village first, let me take my time."
Hutao stood on tiptoes and touched his head, "Then let's go to Kontian Village."
Kontian Village is leisurely and peaceful.
Houses of various sizes are scattered on both sides of the road, and from time to time you can see vegetable gardens enclosed near the houses.
Further away, there are large tracts of land. These fields have not yet reached harvest time, and the wheat ears on them are still green.
"It should be here."
Jiang Bai came to the location given by Yae Shenzi and came to a stone statue on the edge of a field.
This is a huge stone statue of a fox. The big fox is sitting on a high platform, and there are several round little foxes beside him.
"Hey, there's a person over there. Judging from her outfit, she looks a bit like the shrine maiden from Narukami Taisha Shrine."
Jiang Bai felt a little strange.
Aren't there witches here? Why do we need them to come and check the treasure?
"Miss Witch." Jiang Bai walked over and shouted softly.
The miko lady turned her head, but what she saw was not a human face, but a fox mask.
"Huh? Are you a shrine maiden?"
The miko lady nodded softly, "Yes. What's the matter?"
"Miko Yae asked me to come over and check the treasure."
Upon hearing Yae Shenzi, the masked miko's expression changed a bit and she stepped aside.
"This is the statue of Tianhu. There is indeed a treasure inside, but only those who are appreciated by [Thunder], have courage and cherish friendship can take it out."
"So complicated." Jiang Bai walked to the statue and boasted shamelessly, "No wonder you asked me to come, isn't this how you describe me?"
Hutao stood aside, lost in thought.
Does being slashed by the God of Thunder count as being appreciated by [Thunder]?
Jiang Bai wrapped his arm with thunder elements, reached directly into the statue, and took out the artifact.
Jiang Bai picked up the town object and looked through it. "It still looks in good condition. It shouldn't be damaged, right? Should I put it back and check it?"
Jiang Bai looked at Miss Witch with a questioning look.
"Not only that, there are some things I need your help with."
Hearing this, Jiang Bai's mouth twitched.
"I knew that what Yae Shenzi asked to do was definitely not that simple."
The miko lady smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Hana Sanri."
"In this Konta Village, there is a barrier. This ending has been around for a long time, and you still need to enter the barrier to check."
What else can Jiang Bai say? Keep going.
"Okay, okay, where is the barrier?"
"Please come with me." As soon as Hua Sanli finished her words, she disappeared.
Jiang Bai and Hu Tao both opened their eyes.
How to follow this!
"Master, did you see clearly how she left?"
"No."
Hu Tao shook her head. In her sight, the miko named Hua Sanli disappeared in a flash.
There was no choice but to go to the village to find it.
In the village.
Ito, with a loud voice, led the members of the Arataki faction to the courtyard of the ghost mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law, I'm here to see you!"
Hearing the sound of a fight, Granny Ghost walked out of the house on crutches.
Yidou was the child she had brought up since childhood, and she treated him completely as her grandson.
Looking at the tall and strong Yidou, Granny Ghost smiled.
"I've grown taller again, but I'm still too thin. I need to eat more."
Ichidou rolled up his sleeves and exposed his biceps, "I ate two big bowls of ramen in one meal! I'm not thin at all!"
"Okay, okay, neither thin nor thin. Come in and sit down quickly. I bought your favorite candies at the market last time and kept them. I'm just waiting for you to come back and eat them."
“I’m already a big kid, I’ll be laughed at if I eat sweets again.”
"Last time I heard that you were fighting for sweets with children, but you became a big kid here with your mother-in-law?"
"That's right, boss, you even ate lollipops yesterday!"
"Yes! You lost a lollipop yesterday, and you were still angry for a long time."
With a few words each, several of the younger brothers demolished the Yidou platform completely.
One Dou punched each other, "Go, go, stop worrying about the boss's affairs! Take out the things I brought!"
"It has been raining a lot recently, and the clothes are not easy to dry. I bought some new clothes for you, mother-in-law. The price of food in the city has become much cheaper. I bought a lot of food back, and some barley. Mother-in-law, what are you talking about?" No, remember to cook it longer."
Several people walked into the house, picking out things and chattering.
Only with Granny Ghost, the leader of the Arataki sect who has always been unknown, can he be serious and sensible.
Several younger brothers also started to work, cleaning, repairing the yard, weeding the vegetable garden, fetching water, and cooking.
These things must be done every time you come.
Looking at these hard-working and sensible children, Grandma Gui never stopped smiling.
"Mother-in-law, the weather is nice today, I will take out the sheets and quilts to dry them in the sun."
"good"
Yidu came to the yard with a lollipop in his mouth, carrying flyers and quilts, and carefully hung them on the bamboo poles.
"A fight!"
Jiang Bai, who came to Kuntian Village to look for flowers, saw the new friend he had always said he wanted to introduce to Hu Tao.
"A Bai!" Yi Dou's eyes lit up, and he jumped out of the yard with a push of his hands.
"Where are you going? Yesterday I took Yuantai and the others to the city to inquire about you, but I found nothing."
"I am not in the city during this time." Jiang Bai pointed to Hutao next to him with both hands, "Dangdangdangdang! Let me introduce to you, this is my hall leader Hutao."
"This is the hall master you have been talking about." Yidou looked surprised.
I often hear him talk, but today I can really see him in person.
"Our hall master is gentle, beautiful, generous, kind, lively and cheerful. Unique in the world!" Jiang Bai used a lot of complimentary words to praise, which made Hutao feel a little embarrassed.
"It's not that exaggerated." Hutao glared at him coquettishly, telling him to calm down.
