It was already the second day since I returned to the stone statue of Gobaizang.
As they were about to get closer, Jiang Hong suddenly hesitated.
How could he tell Wubaizang that the stinky fox he had been waiting for had died a long time ago?
It was not easy for him to say it in front of Yae Shenzi, but he couldn't say it anymore when he was in front of Gohakuzo.
"Um, Hall Master, please, why don't we go to Kontian Village first, and then go back there after checking the town property there?"
"Why, can't you speak?"
For that kind of thing, Hutao has much more experience.
After all, the Hall of the Past is the closest place to death, and since the establishment of the Ye Luo Guigen business, the family members have been asked to report death news and leave the relics from time to time. The grief of the family members there is not much at all.
Jiang Hong sighed, "No."
That's a little different from reporting death news to a client's family.
Wubai Zangzhiming is waiting in the stone statue, but it is just a hope.
If you try to break that hope now, it's really hard to get rid of it.
His shoulders slumped and he looked downcast, "Let's go to Kontian Village first and let him take his 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.
Farther away, there are large tracts of land. Those fields are not yet ready for harvest, but the wheat ears at the top are still very green.
"Should it be there?"
Jiang Hong arrived at the location given by Yae Shenzi and came to a stone statue on the edge of a field.
It was a huge stone statue of a fox. The big fox was walking on a high platform, and there were a few round little foxes beside it.
"Hey, there is a person there. Looking at her dress, she looks a bit like the shrine maiden from Narukami Taisha Shrine."
Jiang Hong felt a little strange.
Then there are witches here, why do you ask them to come and inspect the town property?
"Miss Witch." Jiang Hong walked over and called softly.
The miko lady turned her head, and what she saw was not a human face, but a fox mask.
"Hmm? Am I a shrine maiden?"
The miko lady nodded softly, "No. What's the matter?"
"Yae Shenzi asked him to come over and inspect the Yidong Zhenwu."
Upon hearing Yae Shenzi, the masked miko's expression changed a little and she stepped aside.
"There is indeed a treasure inside the statue of Tianhu, but it needs to be appreciated by [Thunder], and only those with courage and cherishing friendship can take it out."
"So complicated." Jiang Hong walked up to the statue and boasted shamelessly, "No wonder I asked him to come, then wouldn't that describe him?"
Hutao stood aside, lost in thought.
Does being slashed by the God of Thunder count as being appreciated by [Thunder]?
Jiang Hong wrapped her legs and arms with thunder elements, reached directly into the statue, and took out the artifact.
Jiang Hong picked up the treasure and looked through it. "It looks like it's not in good condition. It shouldn't be damaged, right? If you put it back, it will be considered as inspected."
Jiang Hong looked at Miss Witch with a questioning look.
"That's it. There are a lot of things you need our help with."
Hearing those words, Jiang Hong's mouth twitched.
"He knew that what Yae Shenzi did was absolutely wrong and not that simple."
The miko lady smiled and said, "I'll introduce him to you. His name is Hua Sanli."
"In that Konta Village, there is a barrier. The ending has been around for a long time, and it is very necessary to enter the barrier to check."
What can Jiang Hong say? Keep going.
"Okay, okay, where is the barrier?"
"Please follow him." As soon as Hua Sanli finished speaking, he disappeared.
Jiang Hong and Hu Tao both widened their eyes.
How can I follow you?
"Master, can I see clearly how she left?"
"No."
Hu Tao shook her head. In her sight, the witch named Hua Sanli disappeared in a flash.
If there is no other way, the two of them can go to the village to look for it.
In the village.
Yidou, who had a loud voice, led the members of Huangyin Sect to the courtyard of Ghost Granny.
"Mother-in-law, he came to see me!"
Hearing the sound of a fight, Granny Ghost walked out of the house on crutches.
As a child she has brought up since childhood, she cannot treat him as a grandson at all.
Looking at the tall and strong Yidou, Granny Ghost smiled.
"I've grown taller again, but I'm too thin. Please eat more."
Yidou rolled up his sleeves and exposed his biceps, "Can he eat two big bowls of ramen in one meal? He's not thin at all!"
"Okay, okay, not too thin, not too thin. Come inside quickly. I bought some candies that I ate in the market. I kept them and waited for me to come back to eat them."
"He is already a grown-up child. If he continues to eat sweets, he will be laughed at."
"I heard that I competed with children to eat candy, but I became a big child at my mother-in-law's house?"
"No, no, boss, I really ate lollipops yesterday!"
"No! I lost a lollipop yesterday and I was very 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, let's stop worrying about the boss's affairs! Get the things he brought out quickly!"
"There has been a lot of rain in the Near East, and the clothes are not easy to dry. He bought some new clothes for my mother-in-law. The price of food in the city has become much cheaper. He also bought a lot of food, including some barley. My mother-in-law is in awe.
No, remember to cook it longer."
Several people walked into the house, picking out things and chatting away.
Only Gui Granny, the leader of the Huangyin sect who has always been out of tune, is serious and sensible.
Several younger brothers also started to work, cleaning, repairing the yard, weeding the vegetable garden, fetching water, and cooking.
Those things must be done every time you come.
Looking at those hard-working and sensible children, Granny Ghost never stopped smiling.
"Mother-in-law, if the weather is nice tomorrow, he 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 pole.
"A fight!"
Jiang Hong, who came to Gontian Village to look for Hua Sanli, saw the new friend he had been asking to introduce to Hu Tao.
"Ah Hong!" Yi Dou's eyes lit up, and he jumped out of the yard with a push of his legs.
"Where am I going? Yesterday he took Yuanta and the others in the city to inquire about me. It turned out that he didn't hear anything."
"He was not in the city during that time." Jiang Hong pointed to Hutao next to her with her legs, "Dang-dang-dang! He introduced me to something, so let's deny his hall leader Hutao."
"Then it's the hall master I've always talked about." Yi Dou looked surprised.
I often hear him talking about whether he will see a real person tomorrow.
"Their hall leader is gentle, beautiful, generous, kind, lively and cheerful. Unique in the world!" Jiang Hong 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.
