Original God's Dark Priest

With the intense preparations of Narukami Taisha Shrine, Shabubo, Tenryobo, and the people of Inazuma Castle, the day of the festival quietly arrived.

The focus of summer festivals is at night, while the daytime is generally used for creating atmosphere and inviting friends to make appointments to go with them.

Because this summer festival has not been held with such grandeur for many years, the atmosphere has long been no longer brewing, and people are eagerly looking forward to the official festival in the evening.

It has been two days since Keli came to Inazuma. Under the leadership of Safiir, she also happily visited Inazuma City. Tonight is the official festival. Safiir brought Keli here early in the morning. Arrive at the small warehouse.

Summer festivals require wearing yukata and kimonos. This is Inazuma's tradition. As foreigners, Keli and Safir could have chosen their own clothes, but Keli said that she wanted to wear them, so Safir helped. She ordered a suitable yukata and kimono.

Of course, she also ordered one for herself and Ying and Paimon. Ogura's production capacity is very limited. Fortunately, she, Ying and Paimon had ordered their clothes in advance, and only needed to order one more piece. Just Keli's clothes will do.

And today is the time to pick up clothes. Entering the small warehouse, a woman with pink hair, wearing a blue yukata with an orange flower pattern, greeted her.

"Ah, Teacher Su Jin, welcome!" The pink-haired shop owner smiled and greeted Safire.

Safir also smiled when he saw the visitor: "Mio, I'm here to pick up clothes. Have you finished the clothes you customized last time?"

The shopkeeper, who was called Mio, immediately stretched out his left hand and guided the two of them into the shop: "Of course it's done. The business entrusted by Teacher Su Jin is of the highest importance to me."

This was not the first time for Keli to meet this shop owner. She blinked and followed Safiir, and also called out: "Good morning, Sister Ogura Mio."

"Good morning, Keli!" Ogura Mio rubbed Keli's head. She liked this child very much, so she took extra care when sewing clothes for her.

Entering the house, a very complex aroma lingers on the tip of the nose. Because Teyvat's dyes are generally made from flowers of various colors, different fabrics have corresponding aromas.

A large amount of the fabrics in Xiaocangwu are imported from Liyue. Although the production technology of Liyue fabrics is not known to the outside world, most people know that the fabrics are made of silk woven with neon flowers.

It is soft and smooth and also has the fragrance of neon flowers. It is the best material. This kind of fabric accounts for a large proportion in the small warehouse, so the smell of neon flowers in this house is also the most prominent.

Safir smelled this familiar smell and couldn't help but think of the clothes she wore during the Hai Lantern Festival. The clothes had actually been made for a while, but they still exuded a faint floral fragrance. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of it. She smiled consciously, she actually liked that style quite a bit.

"It's here. It's cut from Liyue silk according to your wishes. The dyeing does not use the conventional carrot dye, but the more precious Luo Luo Mei dye produced in Mondstadt. The golden four-leaf clover on it is made of The gold thread was embroidered stitch by stitch, but it took a lot of effort." Mio Ogura claimed credit while showing off her work.

After listening to her words, Safire chuckled: "Okay, okay, I know you worked hard." As she said that, she took out a heavy mora bag and placed it on the counter, "This is the reward, any more will be considered a tip. "

Ogura Mio smiled even more happily when she heard this. Teacher Su Jin is good at everything. The best thing is that he is generous. Every time he makes clothes here, he will give more. Stores like them like this kind of customers the most, although sometimes they have strict requirements. She is very harsh, but she is also really generous when giving money. It is not in vain that she has worked so hard to create a work that even she can't put down.

Keli's eyes widened when she saw this yukata. She already liked the red color scheme, plus the four-leaf clover embroidered with gold thread on it. She even hid some gadgets in her pockets for the convenience of the yukata. There are also small pockets on the inside. She really likes this piece of clothing.

"What a beautiful dress!" Keli was brought here by Safiir to have her body measurements measured, so she naturally knew that it was specially made for her. "Thank you, Sister Safiir, thank you Sister Ogura Mio!"

Ogura Mio smiled. Customer satisfaction was the greatest compliment to her. Being able to receive this thank you from Kelly was more satisfying to her than Mora.

Keli's clothes were delivered, and then came Safir's clothes. Different from Keli's fiery red yukata, Safir chose sea blue material and embellished it with red maple, which is a quite satisfactory style.

Yingying and Xiao Paimon also chose relatively common styles. Yingying is bright yellow and Xiao Paimon is silvery white. They are both very common yukata styles.

After getting the yukata, Saphire left the small warehouse with little Paimon and returned to the wooden leak tea room. He put the yukata here so that he could change it at night and then go out directly.

After waiting for a while in the Mu Le Teahouse, Ying and Little Paimon came running over. Even on a day like today, these two treasures did not forget to wander around. Somehow, they ran to the deserted sea and interacted with the constant mechanism there. There was a battle with the array, and the result was as expected. Ying easily solved the iron problem.

Then I discovered the secret realm over there: Qianmen Xuzhou.

"You're talking about the secret realm over there in the deserted sea?" Safier didn't expect that Ying would be interested there. "What, do you want to put the secret realm over there into a pot?"

Ying and little Paimon nodded together. Ying put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "I just went in and took a look. There were a few sea chaos ghosts hiding inside. They have been solved. And they don't know where the secret realm here comes from. , it can basically be regarded as a secret realm without an owner.”

"Hmm..." Safire pinched the center of his eyebrows. Qianmenxuzhou, this secret realm is different from her Huaqing secret palace. She can have the final say in Huaqing. After all, it is her own thing, but Qianmenxuzhou Zhou is not.

Strictly speaking, it is not an unowned secret realm. It is nicknamed Tengu Annex, which actually means the Tengu's residence.

Safire thought about it and still felt that he shouldn't touch other people's things: "If you really want to touch that place, I think you can ask Ying and Shanluo for their opinions."

"Eh?" Ying was a little confused, "Is there any secret there?"

"It can't be called a secret. It should be said that it is a place with a strong symbolic meaning. It has been so long and I don't know if anyone still remembers that place. You guys should go find Ying. You still have to ask about this matter. She and Huzhai Palace." Safire sighed. She was not a rice wife and didn't think she could get involved.

With her mind full of questions, Ying went to the castle tower. It just so happened that both the Foxsai Palace and the Yao Shenzi were there. Seeing the Fox Sai Palace, Ying felt a little more relaxed. It didn't require an extra trip, which was really good.

"Hey, isn't this Ying? Why are you here?" Among the three, the one who has the closest relationship with Ying is Yae Shenzi, so she took the lead in saying hello.

Ying walked to the three of them and sat down casually with a smile on his face, and said hello: "Son of God, Fox Zhai Palace, Ying, hello."

"The traveler came here specifically. Is there anything important to say?" Ying knew that this yellow-haired girl must have visited the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. She was very similar to Saphire, and they were of the same origin.

Huzhai Palace also showed an inquiring look, but the next second, her expression became a little stiff.

"It's like this. I discovered an uninhabited secret place called Qianmen Xuzhou." Ying said his discovery very honestly.

Ying's eyes also narrowed slightly: "Qianmen Xuzhou..."

When Ying saw the expressions on her and Hu Zhai Palace's faces, he knew there must be a story, so he told them what Safiir said: "I planned to use that secret realm to expand the Chensong Pot, but Safiir said that it was more commemorative. Let me ask for your opinion.”

Hu Zhai Palace raised his eyebrows: "Lord Safire is really unfathomable. He actually knows the story of Qianmen Xuzhou. She was not in this world at that time, right?"

Ying nodded: "She died in the middle of the Demon God War and only came back in the past ten years. Moreover, she is still the Demon God of Liyue. Logically speaking, she should have no way of knowing what is going on here."

"What on earth is going on?" Little Paimon scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, very curious.

Huzhai Palace sighed: "You just said, Unowned Secret Realm, right?"

Ying nodded honestly.

"Actually, Qianmen Xuzhou has an owner. Its other name is Tengu Villa. And its owner is called Lingshanbo. This name may be unfamiliar to you, but you should have heard of the three shadow warriors. How about the title of 'Group'? The shadow here refers to the shadow tengu Lingshanbo." Huzhai Palace calmed down and said.

Ying immediately sat up straight: "The trio of shadow warriors!" She had heard this title more than once.

Yae Kamiko also cheered up slightly. She was considered a junior monster in Inazuma. She didn't know much about things in the past, but now she can understand it.

Foxsai Palace's narration continues: "Well, it seems you also know them, Oyu Nagamasa, Harunosuke, and Asara Hibiki. The three of them once studied under Lingzenbo. They are called the three shadow warriors Group.

There is also a servant in Lingshanfang. You may also know him. He is called Kirigiri Kaoling. Later, when the dark disaster occurred, he served as the general's cavalry and faced the dark army. "

"Kirikiri Takayama, is that Kirigiri, right?" Little Paimon remembered the nursery rhyme, "Oteta Arataki, Yin no Iwazo, Nagasaki Kitain, Kirigiri Takayama!"

Foxsai Palace nodded: "This is Kirigiri Takarine, he is quite famous. Unfortunately, with the disaster, the trio of shadow warriors and Kirigiri Takarine were not spared, and suffered The experience of disaster.

After that, probably..." At this point, Hu Zhaigong closed her mouth and her eyes turned red. She couldn't continue.

Ying held Fox Zhai Palace's cold hand, comforted him, and then added: "One of them, Harunosuke, traveled across the ocean and learned some of the Liyue Immortal Techniques. Then he created his own Onmyoji Technique, organized the people to fight back, and gave It brought hope to desperate civilians at the time.

But at that time, I was disheartened because of my sister's departure and did not stand up immediately, causing them to endure too many hardships. Similarly, it was also because of my weakness that Huzhai Palace was at the forefront. , eventually fell.

This incident was a huge blow to Lingshanfang. Since then, she has entered Qianmen Xuzhou alone and has never appeared again. Counting the time, hundreds of years have passed and this secret realm has sunk to the bottom of the sea. Lingshan The shop also disappeared. It's all because of my vulnerability, it's my sin. "

"Ying, don't say such things." Huzhai Palace shook his head, "Really leaving will be a big blow to everyone. This is not your fault alone. You are the God of Thunder of Ina Wife, but Ina Wife is The rice wife of all of us. It is also our responsibility to protect the rice wife. No one is qualified to kidnap you or accuse you, you have done a good job."

Ying lowered his head and was in a very low mood: "Don't comfort me. Some things are just wrong if they are wrong. This cannot be solved by just admitting your mistakes. You don't need to worry about me. I must take over the responsibility of my sister and protect my wife." I understand everything in my heart.”

Looking at the scene in front of her, Ying felt a little pain in her heart. Too many things happened in the past. Huzhai Palace and Ying just briefly talked about Qianmen Xuzhou, but she understood that what happened in the past was absolutely It was not something that could be explained clearly in a few words. There was huge trauma in their hearts. At this moment, she suddenly understood what wear and tear meant.

"I remember Teacher Su Jin told me that repentance does not mean atonement, and redemption does not mean forgiveness. We must bear the mistakes of the past and take heavier and heavier steps towards the future. One day, those who pursue beauty will eventually see each other. The sun is shining brightly." Yae Shenzi forced out a smile, "Kage, you and I, now that Foxai Palace is back, we are getting better and better, aren't we?"

Looking into Yae Shenzi's eyes, Kage felt a little pity. The person she felt most sorry for in this world was this old friend. Back then, she desperately hid in the Pure Land. God knows how she survived this long time when she was left alone. for hundreds of years, but now, she stood up and firmly supported herself.

Perhaps, Pink Fox has never been disdainful, but has just learned to hide his inner weakness with a cynical attitude. She is still the gentle and innocent little fox she was before, just like before.

"Begging for others' forgiveness is the stupidest behavior. The real atonement is to create greater value and then shut everyone's mouths." Safire looked at the statue with thousands of hands and hundreds of eyes in front of him, his thoughts racing.

Behind her, Ayato Kamisato stood quietly with a smile on his face: "It sounds like there is a hurdle in your heart that you can't overcome?"

Safire turned around and looked at the man with the most profound knowledge in Inazuma City, with crooked eyes: "Who knows, maybe it's a hurdle, or maybe it's just an obsession?"

"Miss Anmu is a transparent person, and there are not many things that can leave you with obsession." Kamisato Ayato also looked at the tall statue, "Only those with a cautious temperament will be cautious about everything, and Anmu Miss, you are not such a person"

Looking at Kamisato Ayato who was standing upright, Safir clicked his tongue and said, "How does Mr. Shabo view 'dirty things'?"

"What's my opinion? Well... it should be considered something that you want to avoid as much as possible, but you have to do it." Ayato Kamisato's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, "Whether it's a conspiracy or a means, I don't recommend it. To be honest, I am just a brother who wants my sister to live a happy life. I don’t have any extraordinary abilities, and sometimes I have to choose to get my hands dirty.”

"In order to protect, did you choose self-sacrifice?" Safire chuckled, "If possible, I really want to find a perfect plan. If this world were a fairy tale, then there wouldn't be so many Sacrificed?"

"You know, that's impossible. Fairy tales only exist in children's dreams. People like us who have been abandoned by fairy tales can only do our best to protect children's dreams." Ayato Kamisato said quietly , Safir also nodded slightly.

"Light a bright light in the dark night, keep fear away from children, and keep warm nights from being long." Safire murmured, and then made up his mind.

"Then let's start. Another way to use 'Nibelungen'. Collecting a hundred eyes of God. Ayato and the festival are our best opportunities. Are you willing to give up the reputation of your society? What if you fail? , but there is no way out." Safire said softly.

Ayato's relaxed tone responded to her.

"Of course, we have already stepped into the storm. Even if our feet are covered with dry bones, there is only one way forward, right?"
