"You mean, I'm not free?"
Fujiwara no Mokou muttered softly.
She released her flames, as if she wanted to prove to Nanxing how free and easy she was.
however--
"You are free, of course."
"But I guess we're tied together, aren't we?"
He continued to smile.
The red light spot in the [Highest Sky] suddenly jumped.
Fujiwara no Mokou seemed very satisfied with this statement.
But on the outside, she still showed a look of disdain.
"cut--"
"What do you mean tied together? It makes you sound like two dogs."
"It's disgusting!"
……
The exploration begins.
But before leaving the village, Nanxing encountered difficulties.
——They need to confirm a target first.
But the question is, if they knew where the "secret" was hidden, why were they still hesitating here?
We have already reached our destination!
"Kikyo doesn't know either."
Nanxing asked Kikyo.
But, unfortunately.
At Platycodon's level, she is still unable to access these hidden powers.
She knew about the existence of Yagi Eirin because of the legend passed down from generation to generation by the shrine maidens - it was a backup plan that Yagi Eirin left for the shrine maidens.
"How about asking Bayi Yonglin?"
Nanxing suggested so.
As the saying goes, an old person in the family is like a treasure.
An old...baby like Bayei Eirin, who has lived for who knows how many years, should know something that others don’t.
"But Shikoku is so far away..."
Fujiwara no Mokou was somewhat reluctant.
She just came back from Shikoku. Are we going to let her go back again?
Didn't she make this trip in vain?
"What should I do?"
Nanxing and Fujiwara no Mokou argued endlessly.
Ibuki Suika was drinking and watching the fun.
However, that was at this time.
"Shinano..."
sudden.
The little Yan Mo who usually doesn't like to talk, opened his mouth:
"Shinano Province."
"There is God over there."
Chapter 126: Fujiwara no Mokou: Tachibana also did it
Shinano Province.
This is a country surrounded by mountains.
The terrain is complex, with many mountains and rivers, so there are many worships of mountain gods in Shinano.
If you are looking for God, this is a good starting point.
At the same time, there is another very important reason why Nanxing chose Shinano:
It’s close to Musashi Province!
It borders Musashi Province through the Kanto Mountains. If you choose to take a straight line, it only takes three or four days to reach the border of Shinano Province.
"Okay, then let's go to Shinano Province."
Nanxing made a decision.
At the same time, he secretly glanced at the little Yama.
Now Yan Mo Ai has returned to her usual indifference, as if everything in the world has nothing to do with her.
But at the same time, Nanxing had reason to believe that there must be a big problem in a place where the three-no Lolita who never liked to talk would take the initiative to speak.
"If I'm right."
"That country should be her hometown, right?"
……
The journey begins.
Nanxing and others headed towards Shinano Province.
Some interesting things happened on the way - for example, an evil spirit lurking in the forest smelled the aroma of wine and ran to Ibuki Suika to steal her wine gourd.
Then everyone saw how terrible this ghost Lolita, who drank every day and seemed to have drunk herself to death, was when she got angry.
"I let you grab it, I let you grab it, I let you grab it!"
The angry Ibuki Suika directly activated her ability of [Dense and Sparse], and made herself hundreds of times bigger, becoming a giant ghost lolita who was fifty meters tall.
She stretched out two fingers, pinched the unfortunate evil ghost, and smashed four or five mountains in a row. These calmed down the anger in her heart a little, and she returned to her previous heartless self.
From then on, no one (mainly Fujiwara no Moko) dared to look down on her anymore.
In addition, Yanma Ai also has her moments of glory.
She is the Yama appointed by Nanxing himself - although there is no official organization in hell, she can still play a basic role in saving the souls of the dead.
On the way to Shinano Province, Nanxing and his companions encountered a ghost den full of wronged souls, which looked like an ancient battlefield.
The resentment of nearly a thousand people entangled together with those white bones, and turned into a legendary monster: [Wild Skeleton].
This is a giant monster that has the strength of a high-level monster since birth. If left alone for a period of time, it will evolve into a huge disaster.
Fortunately, Yanma Ai discovered its existence in time and successfully saved it with the stick of repentance in her hand.
There is actually not much to say about this result.
Is there any specialization in the art industry?
No matter how young Yan Mo is, he is still Yan Mo. He has a special bonus against this kind of undead monster.
But what is really worth mentioning is that the process of her saving the giant skeleton monster... was really a bit horrific.
Nan Xing didn't know what kind of resentment could make this cute little girl do such a thing as breaking the bones one by one to forcibly exorcise the monster.
He only knew that Yan Mo'ai's behavior did not release the resentment in his heart, but instead made it even deeper.
——The increasingly fierce red light in her eyes is proof of this.
"Although she has tried very hard to control herself, as she is getting closer and closer to the place of origin, is it possible that she can no longer control her emotions as perfectly as before?"
Nanxing thought silently in his heart.
At the same time, when he looked up, he saw the gradually flattening mountains and a beautiful lake.
He knew that they had arrived at Shinano Province.
……
Shinano Province was a relatively conservative country.
Nanxing felt this immediately when he stepped into those villages.
"sorry."
"do not know."
"Please ask somewhere else."
how to say.
If you just listen to these answers, it is actually normal.
Because they really don't know anything about God.
——How could these country folk know about such a secret matter?
But at the same time, if combined with the attitude of these villagers who are "alert and keep people at a distance".
Nanxing could clearly feel that this matter was far from as simple as it seemed.
"Their guard is just too high."

In front of a lake, Nanxing and Fujiwara Momoko were resting and discussing what they had seen and heard on the way.
"I have never heard of a village that refused to let me in to rest after I revealed my identity as an exorcist."
"But the villagers in this country seemed to have agreed not to let us in."
Nanxing narrowed his eyes and analyzed carefully.
He felt that there must be something fishy going on.
- For example, these villages are actually controlled by some powerful monster, so exorcists are not allowed to enter to investigate.
But at the same time, Fujiwara no Mokou, who has always been unlearned, gave an explanation from another perspective:
... ........ .......
"Is it because this is a landlocked country?"
"Anyway, this place has always been surrounded by mountains, and has always been a place that refuses to submit to the king's rule."
"Since my time, people here have been very clingy and known for being 'xenophobic'."
Fujiwara no Moko gave a reason that sounds ridiculous but is actually quite convincing.
This made Nanxing look at her with some admiration.
"Do, do what?"
"Looking at me that weird look?"
"Can't I know these things?"
Looking at Nanxing's strange eyes, Fujiwara Mohong seemed very uncomfortable.
But in the end, she was the first to be defeated.
"Ok."
"In fact, since my time, Shinano Province has been our family's sphere of influence."
Three thousand generations of Inukai in the county.
She was the wife of Fujiwara no Fuhito, the stepmother of Fujiwara no Mokou, and also the representative of the local forces of Shinano Province.
Her union with Fujiwara no Fuhito was not just a union of free love; it was also an exchange of power and politics.
Since the Heian period, the Fujiwara clan and their retainers have been in charge of Shinano-no-Kami since the 1940s. Their rule over this place lasted until the shogunate era.
