Chapter 355 Everything Has Its Own Meaning
What's interesting is that what I'm doing now seems to be quite similar to what Harunosuke Yuugami said.
If the current Yae no Miko did indeed adopt Harunosuke's idea, then according to the later Yae no Miko, the Divine Cherry Tree could no longer withstand any more defilement, and it's likely that the five purification points would no longer be able to deliver more miasma to the miasma tumor within the Shadow Mountain Cavity.
By pouring wine over oneself, one can activate and absorb past memories into oneself, and then bring them all to the miasma, thus completing the greatest purification in nearly five hundred years.
However, I'm afraid I'll still need to discuss with everyone when I get back how to proceed.
"After I left, did anything happen to everyone in Inazuma?"
However, after taking a sip of sake, Harunosuke Kami asked a question that seemed both intentional and unintentional.
Xu Ning gave an awkward laugh.
"It should be... nothing serious, right? Now that your Thor is back, what could possibly be wrong?"
Shinobu stared into Xu Ning's eyes for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.
"Sometimes I really feel like you're from another time and space, seemingly out of place in this world..."
"Master Ling Shan Fang has sealed himself away and is no longer seen in this world; Ah Xiang has gone to Qing Lai to fight off the thunderstorm; Chang Zheng has joined the shogunate and is quelling rebellions everywhere... Even I, in Liyue, have received news of these things, but you, who have been in Inazuma all this time, seem to know nothing. And Lord Yu Yu..."
At this point, Harunosuke Yuugami's expression darkened slightly. "...Anyway, thank you!"
Xu Ning also paused for a moment, "It's just that I'm too weak to change more things."
Harunosuke smiled bitterly, “I feel the same way. But this time I’ve come back, I’m never leaving again. I will use all the knowledge I have gained in this life to train an armed force for Inazuma that is strong enough to withstand any risks, and I will never let such a tragedy happen again.”
After exchanging a few more words, the two got up together and headed towards Narukami Taisha Shrine.
Seeing the newly renovated and completely transformed shrine, Harunosuke Ueshima sighed deeply.
After paying homage to the sacred cherry tree, Xu Ning called over Yae the little fox and Inashiro Miri. The four of them carefully reviewed the method brought by Yuugami Harunosuke and made many additions and suggestions to the details.
Inashiro Miri meticulously recorded the methods they discussed, then sighed, "It's simply unbelievable that they could come up with such a method. However, apart from Lord Yae no Miko, I'm afraid none of those present could hold out until that day."
Harunosuke Yukami shook his head slightly and said, "That's not necessarily true. But what you said has reminded me that there must be no oversights in our future plans. Since we can't leave anything behind, we must leave more behind."
Upon hearing Harunosuke Yuugami's words, Xu Ning felt a slight stirring in his heart, sensing that something had been vaguely confirmed, but he dared not be 100% certain.
That night, only Harunosuke stayed overnight at Narukami Taisha.
Inashiro Miri had prepared a guest room for the two of them, but neither of them showed any intention of going back to their room to sleep.
The two sat under the sacred cherry tree, leaning against the cherry blossoms, drinking wine and chatting casually.
"This time when I went to Liyue, I witnessed the greatness of this country for the first time. Whether it was demon gods, immortals, sorcerers, soldiers, or even ordinary people, they all carried a will in their blood that I could not understand."
“I don’t know how this will came about. I’ve tried to find it in various historical documents, supernatural tales, and even everyday operas and storytelling, but I haven’t found it. It’s as if that thing has been there from the beginning and has been passed down through generations.”
Harunosuke glanced at Xu Ning and said, "I saw that thing on you too. Although you brought it with you, it doesn't belong to Inazuma."
“I want to build something like this in Inazuma, and pass it down, and I hope that it will be remembered and never forgotten, whether it takes ten, a hundred, or a thousand years.”
Xu Ning took a sip of his drink and sighed, "You've chosen an exceptionally difficult path."
Harunosuke Yukami smiled and said, "When I came here, I told that person these words, and he said the same thing as you."
Xu Ning smiled. He suddenly realized that whenever Yuijin Seinosuke mentioned the person he found in Liyue, he always referred to him as "that person" and never mentioned his name or any other characteristics.
"I haven't asked you yet, does the person you met in Liyue have a name? I don't know if I know them or not."
Xu Ning finally couldn't help but ask.
Yujin Seinosuke shook his head slightly, looked at Xu Ning seriously and said, "I think you shouldn't know him. Moreover, from what I've observed, he seems to be a nobody in Liyue. He's not a demon god, nor does he belong to the immortals. In fact, no one knows him except me..."
Xu Ning murmured, "This is quite a strange person. No wonder I've never heard of him before. What are you planning to do next?"
"First, find a place near Shadow Mountain, build a hermitage, recruit many martial artists, and pass on what I have learned..."
Before Harunobu could finish speaking, Xu Ning immediately interrupted him.
"Everything else is fine, but this recruitment of martial artists is something I think you should personally and strictly oversee, observing their words and actions. Those with ulterior motives should be expelled as soon as possible."
Harunosuke Yukami nodded. "Of course."
Although Yuijin Seinosuke believed his own words without a doubt, Xu Ning knew that in the future, both Doki's swordsmanship legacy and Yuijin Seinosuke's Yin-Yang Bureau would eventually become a scourge.
Perhaps I could ask the little fox Yae to keep an eye on things; that might reduce some trouble in the future.
In the following days, Harunosuke Kogami found an open space near the waterfall at the foot of Mount Kagehira, built a hut, and began to teach students publicly.
Xu Ning did not go to see Yuishin Harunosuke's Yin-Yang Bureau. The news that Inashiro Miri had received from the believers in the past few days was enough to give him a headache.
The tanuki started causing trouble again.
At first, it wasn't really a big problem.
Goyakuzo sent out all his little tanuki, who were skilled in transformation, to search for the "stinky fox's" whereabouts. The result was nothing more than many villages on Narukami Island suddenly having a large population.
As for a farmer who returned home after a day's work and was suddenly found sitting in the main room with his father, who had been buried the day before, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.
Or perhaps it was someone who, after a long day of work, returned home to find that his newlywed wife had suddenly turned into two, and was so overjoyed that his legs went weak.
Or the stew suddenly turned into potato soup, etc. These are minor matters. Although they caused considerable trouble for the villagers and the shogunate's allies, they were still within an acceptable range.
However, as more and more information was gathered, Gosho seemed to become increasingly irritable, and the situation quickly escalated.
First, the shrine commemorating the Fox Temple at the foot of the mountain was attacked, and even the talisman placed there by the Narukami Taisha was stolen.
Now, Gosho is enraged, shouting that if the "stinky fox" doesn't show up soon, he will smash all the celestial fox statues on Narukami Island.
Looking at the anxious Master Ji standing in the center of the guest room, Xu Ning sighed, "I'll try to persuade him again."
Upon hearing the news, Harunosuke Yuugami, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, smiled and said, "Someone once told me that everything is predestined and has its own meaning. I didn't understand before, but now I finally do."
"Why don't I try to persuade them?"
