After straying into the infinite game

Chapter 40 White Fox

Obviously, Yumi Asakyo just fed the praying white fox for a long time without achieving any currying effect, and the praying white fox will still stand up when it is time to protect the witch.

The white fox raised its head, so that people could see clearly what was hidden under the white fox's fluffy fur. On the white fox's neck, hung a dumb bell.The bell is tied with a knotted rope, and a slightly ridiculous bow is also tied.

At the moment when the bell was exposed, all the inhuman features of Yumi Asakyo disappeared, the long hair soaked in water became dry and smooth again, the water stains on the clothes disappeared, and the blue-gray face changed again Fluffy—she was an ordinary girl again.

Obviously, Asagi Yumi, who is a water ghost, is afraid of praying for the white fox.

"Let's talk about Chinese characters..." Akiko Yamahara said casually, and the black cat in the girl's arms jumped out impatiently and squatted on the corridor.

"Qianqing, I think it should refer to Qingxi. I have to say, it is a very beautiful surname." Hao Yun said sincerely, this is the explanation she made in her own capacity, not what the witch Yamahara Akiko deliberately learned Jiezi.

"It should be said that you are indeed Mr. Yamahara, he is very unique..." Yumi Asakyo made a bow, "Thank you, sir."

Her eyes also took a look at the face of the praying white fox. The white fox squatted in front of Akiko Yamahara, licked his front paws, and did not move.Yumi Asakyo let out a sigh of relief, and trotted away.

The praying white fox obviously didn't want to talk to Hao Yun, and looked at Hao Yun with ice-blue fox eyes-no matter how it felt or looked, it didn't look like an ordinary fox, on the contrary, it was too human.

Asukahara opened the sliding paper door, saw Akiko Yamahara, and shouted, "Master Yamahara! Elder sister Hua Zhizi said that you got up late this morning, and you already missed the morning class."

Hao Yun turned his head, and a familiar subtitle popped up beside the girl, which was the girl's profile.

[Ashihara, the second daughter of the Asuka family, is eight years old. She is studying at the Sanshin Shrine with her older sister Asuka, and she is expected to become the next shrine maiden. 】

It was someone Akiko Yamahara knew.She lowered her head, and the praying white fox who was lying there was squatting in front of her.

Hao Yun said: "My cat ran away."

Apparently, Akiko Yamahara's schedule has already been arranged. If there is no accident, this honorable and only shrine maiden 24 in the shrine of the mountain god will be under surveillance and arrangements.As long as there are game characters present, Nan Huaping, who is a black cat, cannot communicate with Hao Yun through [The Oath of the Nightingale]. There are too many restrictions... and Nan Huaping cannot be confined to a cat's body forever.

"It's Hara, what's the matter?" Yamahara Akiko said.

Asukahara took Yamahara Akiko's hand, "Master Yamahara actually wants to escape the decoration of the knotted rope! It's too much. If I hadn't seen Akiko, I don't know where Sister Huazhizi left you!"

Hao Yun turned her head, and she seemed to see a black cat flashing by, casting her own reflection on the paper sliding door.Hao Yun frowned slightly.

This girl named Asukahara came to ask her to weave knots together. Many things in the mountain god sacrifice need to be prepared by the witch herself. Asahihara expressed her understanding that Mr. Yamahara’s sudden amnesia would not be able to do it, and began to guide Miyamahara hand in hand. Akiko.

I don't know if it's a deliberate arrangement of the task, but it's obvious that the witch Yamahara Akiko has to spend the whole day on the damn rope.

However, Hao Yun also put his heart into it, and immediately understood the simplest weaving method of praying for blessings and gods—the knotted ropes would be carried on the hands of all the underage children in the family.

Of course, these bracelets have to go through a priestess' washing first.When Hao Yun asked Ming Yueyuan, Ming Riyuan also hesitated for a moment.

"I don't know, maybe it has the meaning of longevity and the retreat of evil spirits?"

Chiyo, Asuka, and Asaki.It is the largest of the three clans living at the foot of the mountain. They have a long history and honored officials. The three families have been married for generations. They originated from a big family in the past. They have the same family [Yanyuan], and the members of the clan are more or less related. With reason.

Hao Yun weaved the knot carefully, chatting with Asuka one after another.

The second daughter of Tomorrow's family has nothing to say about the Miko she admires. In her view, it is an extremely honorable thing for her to assist the Miko to prepare the ropes for the sacrifice.Although there are also children of the Chiyo family and the shallow relatives in the Shanshen Shrine, the relationship between Yamahara Akiko and their Tomorrow family is particularly close.

The number of knots is limited and has a time limit.Asukahara, who was reminded by his father to curry favor with Akiko Yamahara, watched Akiko as she was weaving knots.

It has to be said that Hao Yun's ability to learn is terrifying, and the knots she wove with the identity of "Yamahara Akiko" are quite different from Asukahara's. In Asuka's words, the knots she wove are just a It's just a decoration that can't be used on the countertop.

"so?"

"Akiko is the name of a fox. Master Yamahara told me this in secret." Asahihara did not shy away from the name of the previous shrine maiden. She was too young. Ten years before the execution of the previous shrine maiden Akiko Yamahara, She is not yet born.

"The fox will only respond if it is called this name. I discovered this recently," Asukahara smiled and helped Akiko Yamahara comb the silk thread, "I asked the uncle of the guardian of the ancestral hall, and the white fox has guarded the mountain god's ancestral hall for more than ten years. It's been a year... Uncle said he didn't know, but the white fox would only respond if it was called this name."

"Do you know what the name means?"

"It's a little old-fashioned. If there are girls with this name, they will be laughed at by other children in the clan, right?" Asahihara said.

Hao Yun finished the knotted bracelet. Although Asukahara insisted that the bracelets woven by the witches were different from the ones they wove, Hao Yun still didn't find anything special about the weaving.

"Yuan, come here, this is for you."

"No, I can't ask for it!" Asahihara waved his hand and hurriedly refused, "You can't ask for the witch's bracelet before the sacrifice. If you wear the bracelet in advance, you will break the rules of the mountain god, and you will be punished by the brat!"

kid?

"What kind of brat?"

"I'm not sure." Asahihara said, "But the adults say that there will be little ghosts haunting the mountains. You need to offer incense regularly and worship the mountain gods to ensure safety."

There are indeed ghosts, not to mention monsters that can perfectly hide themselves like Yumi Asaki, there are countless ghosts with inhuman characteristics, but they hide themselves because they are afraid of the sun in the daytime Shape... If you really want to say, monsters like little ghosts gather in groups in this ancestral hall, full of yin and smoke, but the outside of the ancestral hall is clean.

Akiko Yamahara's health is not very good. This is what Hao Yun learned from Akiko Yamahara's memory. This witch has been weak and sick since she was a child, and it is also related to her long-term immersion in a room full of yin.

There is also a water ghost at the level of Yumi Xiangqianqing, let alone the ability to move freely in the daytime and its own strength, it can perfectly disguise itself as an ordinary person, and the disguise is perfect... This is Hao Yun There is nothing you can't do with your body.

Not long ago, Asukahara told her that there were no girls in the Asakyo family generation, so there were no candidates who could become witches. The Asakyo family was very troubled by this.

As for the name [Asakyo Yumi].Asukahara said that he has never heard of it, is there a child in the clan or that adult's heir with this name?

Hao Yun didn't know.

"Why can't it be called White Fox Zhangzi? The white fox is a beast in the mountain god ancestral hall. Although I don't know why I haven't been close to adults, adults still like white foxes very much!" Asuka watched as Yamahara wrapped the first finished product His hand and mouth opened, but he still didn't say the words of persuasion.

The white fox's name is Zhang Zi.This is the name that White Fox himself admits.

"It's because it's called Zhangzi. And the name Zhangzi is a taboo." Hao Yun, who is Akiko Yamahara, copied Chiyo Hanako's words without hesitation, but slightly modified it, "This is the name of the previous witch. .”

"Eh?"

Asuka wanted to ask something else, but the paper sliding door was knocked lightly, and then opened.

A girl with the same face as Asukahara stood at the door, and a character profile popped up next to her. The girl was the eldest daughter of the Asuka family, Asuka.

[Asuka, daughter of Asuka's parents, eight years old, and her younger sister Asuka are studying at the Sanshen Shrine together, and are expected to become the next witch. 】

Even the brief introductions are almost the same... You really deserve to be twins.

"You're pestering my lord again, Hara." Compared with the cheerful and lively Asuka, Asuka looked a bit younger and older. She made a bow to Akiko Yamahara and said, "My lord, it's time for lunch. Hara, come over."

Asuka stood up reluctantly, and made a bow to Akiko Yamahara.

The servant belonging to Tomorrow's family put away the scattered silk ribbons, then quickly cleaned up all the scattered debris, and brought over the lunch—as long as the Miko wanted to be, no one could restrain her, except to leave the mountain god shrine.

"Master Yamahara, my younger sister is not very sensible, her mind is impure." Asuka pulled her younger sister and looked at Hao Yun vigilantly. Obviously, she had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, "My lord is busy for the sacrifice of the mountain god. No. You can talk nonsense about anything, and you still accept it as an adult, Yuan! Apologize to the adult."

Asuka, who was holding his head by Asuka, apologized in a low voice, and was dragged away.

The moment the servant closed the paper sliding door, the black cat got in, and there was no one else, and Nan Huaping could speak.

"How long can they live?" Hao Yun asked the sisters of Tomorrow's family. She looked down, and there was fresh sashimi in the lunch dish. She took a slice, thinking whether feeding Nan Huaping would die .

"There are still five days left, just like you." Nan Huaping said, "I can't catch up with that white fox. He is very familiar with the terrain here, and in the neon culture, there are also examples of foxes turning people into demons." Not uncommon. I think he should be an important person, not an ordinary fox."

"I found out that this fox's name is Zhang Zi." Hao Yundao, "Maybe we can start with his master, after all, the previous witch was named Zhang Zi Yamahara."

"Sacrificing the mountain god is obviously an important node in the game. As for the death of the witch on her 16th birthday, I feel like the day of the sacrifice is the day of the birthday." Hao Yun didn't move the food on the table, "We can't Judging when the death of the shrine maiden began. If it was really a sudden death, then no matter what, there will be grievances left—so the previous shrine maiden, the deceased shrine maiden Akiko Yamahara, is very important.”

"The concentration of ghosts in this ancestral hall is too dense. It's not normal."

"Indeed, but I have to trouble you." Hao Yun said apologetically, "The schedule of the head maiden is too full. I don't have any other time to spare. I can't be absent at critical times, except at night."

"Trouble me."

There are only 40 chapters in a blink of an eye, and the last one is over at this time.

Sure enough, only when I first started writing did I have motivation.
