This is a strange event that is happening right in front of you, so close at hand. You can't remain indifferent.
But Tachibana Masamune and Ginpei were a little confused.
"What did you see?"
Tachibana Masamune glanced at the crazy passerby, and then explained as if he understood something.
"Brother Lu Jian, are you talking about this kind of lunatic? In some areas of Hedao, there are indeed such people. They don't know what they saw and fell into madness. They speak words that others cannot understand."
"Yes, what is this disaster witch? The witch is holy and flawless, how can she bring disaster? This person dares to blaspheme the witch. The island followers should arrest him!"
Yinpei was quite indignant. He seemed to admire the miko, the Son of God, very much.
Hongye said nothing, looking more like observing Lu Jian than observing the madman.
"No, didn't you see that he was hit so hard that all his bones were broken? He actually stood up like this. Is there no problem?"
As soon as Lu Tan finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the problem in a world where even he had to be a complainer seemed a bit big.
"Yes, he just fell down, minor injuries, minor injuries."
Tachibana Zhengzong looked serious, and if he later told Lu Jian that this was a trick game, then Lu Jian would probably award him a statuette.
"Master Lu Kan, there is no need to make a fuss, we have to trust the miko-sama at the shrine on Utashima!"
Yin Ping, another statuette winner, also advised.
After Tachibana Masamune came to the island to maintain law and order, he came to take away the lunatic who was still talking about the evil witches, and then they set off again and arrived at Anxinyuan.
This magnificent house was once used as a book school and examination room. The living conditions were fine except for the bedding being a little damp due to long-term sea breeze.
After assigning rooms, they planned to meet up in the evening and go to the island's tavern for dinner, while Lu Tran planned to hang out in the yard.
"There is no mention of the disappearance until now. Has it not happened yet? Will Ginpei, Tachibana Masamune, and Momiji disappear later?"
Lu Tan dispersed his thoughts and walked to a courtyard where there was a guard wearing a blue hunting suit.
"The area ahead is prohibited, please go back."
Na Dao Fengxing said.
"I heard before that someone disappeared during the poetry festival?"
Lu Jian got straight to the point.
He observed carefully as he spoke and saw Na Dao's expression change and quickly become serious again.
"Where did you hear that no one is missing? Guests can come and go freely. Maybe someone left early."
"You mean someone is missing?"
Lu Jian caught the hint in the other party's words.
"This...I didn't say that."
The island leader was a little embarrassed.
"But the poetry festival hasn't even started yet, why did they leave?"
Lu Tan pursues him relentlessly.
"This...I'm sorry!"
Dao Fengxing was forced to look embarrassed by Lu Tan, but unexpectedly he suddenly bent down and bowed to apologize.
"?"
Lu Tan thought that it would be useless for you to apologize to me, why not tell me the real situation directly, and continued to speak.
"Just raise your head and tell me the information about the missing person. I know that person well and I'm very worried about him."
Using the speaking skills he learned from Drizzt, Lu Tian made nonsense without conscience.
It really takes courage to lie with a straight face. It is very difficult for someone like Lu Jian to do it. His biggest shortcoming in life is that he is too honest.
"......sorry!"
Brother Dao Fengxing couldn't hold back a word for a long time, so he bent down and bowed again.
"I don't need you to apologize, can you just answer the question for me?"
Lu Tan helped Dao Fengxing's brother up and asked again.
"......sorry!"
Dao Mingxing bowed and apologized again, as if he had become a ruthless repeater.
"Am I the repeater or are you the repeater..."
Lu Tan muttered and suddenly felt like there was someone behind him.
He turned his head and saw only a bright red foot walking quickly in the corner of the yard. He could only vaguely see a red skirt, white socks, and clogs.
Lu Tan walked out of the yard and saw Hongye looking at him next to him.
"It's useless for you to ask him. The word spirit has already taken effect and he won't answer your question."
This woman wears a red and white kimono with arrow feather patterns, a blue hem, long boots, and a bow in her hair. She is lively and lively in terms of dress, but her face lacks a delicate expression and is slightly gloomy.
.
"Yan Ling?"
Lu Tan heard another new word.
"In Hedao, language is both power and restraint. The islanders will swear an oath to the lord and swear allegiance. Any words or deeds that are harmful to the lord cannot be done fundamentally."
Hongye gently pushed her long hanging hair behind her ears and explained.
"I heard from Yinping that you are taciturn, but it doesn't look like you?"
Lu Tan looked up and down the red leaves. From his point of view, she was indeed a beauty, but compared to those delicate and delicate flowers, she was a bit more heroic.
Moreover, Hongye's fingers and tiger's mouth have a certain amount of calluses from wear and tear. This is obviously a woman who knows some martial arts.
"There is nothing to talk about when you are with people who only know flowers, birds, romance and moon."
Hong Ye glanced at Lu Tan, then turned around.
"Don't you want to know the news about the missing person? Come with me."
Lu Tan followed him honestly, and it was a blessing to have local people leading the way.
"Are you also here for the missing people?"
They passed through a courtyard that should have been filled with birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, but the vegetation here was a little bleak, and the flowers were still in bud and unwilling to show themselves, giving the courtyard a sense of decay.
"Not entirely. The missing people are just phenomena. I'm here for the essence."
Hongye strode forward, as if he knew Anxinyuan well.
"Utashima was shrouded in uncertainty a month ago, and the local Wajima Shrine immediately started purification work. Since the poetry festival was approaching, many people were worried about whether the poetry festival could be held as scheduled. Some artists even announced that they would not participate in this poetry festival.
But a week ago, Wajima Shrine in Utashima announced that the pollution was completely under control."
She said as she walked.
"Two days ago, a painter named Wan Ye disappeared on Utashima. He only left a messy note in his room. The general meaning was that he went to find the troubled witch."
"Miko? What does this word mean?"
Lu Tran saw Hongye walking into a secluded hut. He hesitated for a moment and used the ultrasound of [Last Words] to check. There was no one else inside.
"You know Kamiko-sama, you are the chief priest of Wajima Taisha Shrine, the shrine maiden who leads all the shrine maidens, and the spokesperson of Wajima Grand Shrine walking on the earth."
"That's right."
Lu Tan followed him and walked in. On the table in the room were several pieces of clothing, a picture frame covered with black cloth, and a note.
"But the Son of God was not selected from the beginning. Instead, many candidate mikos went through numerous tests, screenings, and eliminations before they were finally determined."
Hong Ye picked up the note and handed it to Lu Jian.
"And it is said that the eliminated shrine maidens, those who have been favored by the gods but ultimately missed them, may become disaster shrine maidens."
"In some parts of Japan, the misfortune witch has become a kind of belief."
When Lu Tan heard this, he looked at the note. The handwriting on it was messy, and some scrawled words could be vaguely distinguished.
"...I see it, I see it...Light of my life, fire of my desire, my soul, my sin, forgive me...
..."
