Original God's Dark Priest

"I'm sorry to bother you two. This child has a bad temper. I hope I didn't disturb you." Zhen Zhen had a gentle smile on his face and bowed slightly to Ying and little Paimeng.

Ying bowed to Zhen somewhat at a loss, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Little Paimon was also a little confused, but she still organized her words and said, "Um... um... why is Lord Thunder God here?"

"Hehe... Aren't you guys familiar with Ying? Just call me Zhen just like you call her." Zhen looked at the duo of travelers in front of him, as if he saw his past self.

I remember a long time ago, when there was no Son of God yet, Nagi Yuri was still a little Tengu, and Kitsune Saigū... was about the same age as Paimon.

At that time, she had not thought about becoming a god or anything like that. In the blink of an eye, so much time has passed and the world has changed.

Without dwelling on memories for too long, Zhen ignored Shuanghua's unhappy expression, reached out and rubbed the other's head, then said: "I am training this child."

"Practice?" Xiao Pai was confused. "With his strength, does he still need to practice? He can already be an executive officer..."

Zhen shook his head and explained, "Practice is never just about strength, or rather, strength is the most unimportant thing. The most important thing is to cultivate the mind.

He made a mistake and went astray when he was young. He wasted half his life but gained nothing. He spent hundreds of years in a daze and didn't even know who he was. I think someone must show him a way, or he can find the answer he wants. "

“I don’t quite understand.” The little guy had a simple mind and shook his head, trying to understand, but it was difficult.

Ying looked thoughtful, glanced at Shuanghua who looked unhappy, and asked tentatively: "Did Saphir ask you to do this?"

"No. No one asked me to do that. Or rather, that kid Safir..." Zhen thought for a moment, and nodded vigorously as if to confirm what he said, "That kid is equally confused. They are all people struggling in the world. It's hard to save themselves, so how can they save others?"

Shuanghua shook her head vigorously, shook off Zhen's hand, and then said: "Don't treat me like a child!"

After saying that, he frowned and looked at Zhen, who was smiling indifferently: "I didn't come to you just to let you say these things, I want to know..."

"The original sword manuals have been lost. Didn't you destroy part of them yourself?" Zhen said calmly, "That was Ying's hundreds of years of hard work, but it was burned. Xiaohua, don't you feel any guilt at all?"

"I just want to recover, as long as I can recover..." Shuanghua breathed heavily. This was the quickest way he could think of. In fact, it stood to reason that finding Ying would be the most appropriate person, but he and Ying just couldn't coexist peacefully, so he had to find Zhen.

Unexpectedly, Zhen did not tell him the sword manual, but took him to Feimu Village, Wuxiang Blade Gorge, and Qinglai Island.

They walked through one place after another where Ying had fought, saw the relics she had left behind, and finally returned here.

Zhen lowered his eyes and said softly, "Xiaohua, along the way, can't you really see her determination, her sword intent, and her past?

What you call compensation should never be a few sword manuals. The sword manuals of the past are no longer suitable for today's Inazuma. What you need to do is far beyond what the sword manuals can compensate for."

"I..." Shuanghua was silent. He had indeed thought about this issue and really wanted to find someone to discuss it calmly. Unfortunately, ordinary people could not reach this level and did not know the inside story.

As for Ying, he had no way of talking to the other party, so it had been delayed until now.

Now that Zhen mentioned this topic, he really wanted to know what Zhen thought about it.

Zhen shook his head and uttered only a few words: "A broken mirror cannot be mended. Only creation can resist destruction."

After saying this, she stopped looking at Shuanghua and looked at Ying: "You came to Inazuma this time for the courage test, right? Judging from the way you look, you should have played a round. How do you feel?"

"Don't mention it. I was severely tortured. It was really infuriating!" Little Paimeng got angry whenever he mentioned this and wanted to complain.

Ying nodded and said, "I was tricked by that Saphir guy and suffered a lot of losses. Then there was a ghost girl who came from nowhere, holding a knife and slashing at everyone she saw. It was so scary."

"Ghost girl?" Zhen's hand hidden in her sleeve trembled slightly. For a moment, she wondered if it could be Chiyo, but soon, this guess was rejected. Chiyo was already dead and there was no way she would appear again.

Then, this so-called ghost girl was probably disguised by someone else. As for who was impersonating her, there was no need to think about it. The two auras hiding in the forest not far away could not be hidden at all.

There was no one else except Ying.

I can really guess why Ying is like this. The Test of Courage is meant to test one's courage. People like Ying will not be scared by the environment here or the despicable means of ordinary people.

The reason for choosing to pretend to be someone else is to conceal one's own identity. If Dalala appeared as the God of Thunder, it would not be called a test of courage, but an audience ceremony.

"Forget it, as long as she has fun." Zhen thought so and muttered softly.

Little Paimon vaguely heard what she said, but couldn't hear it clearly: "Huh? What did you say just now?"

"Nothing. I just remembered an old friend." He just answered perfunctorily and said no more.

The atmosphere was a little silent. Little Paimon thought for a moment, took out two bottles of dango milk and handed them over: "Oh, here's the dango milk we just got, let me share some with you!"

"Oh?" Zhen took the Tuanzi milk and chuckled, "Isn't this the drink Ying mentioned before? Okay, I'll take it."

She took a bottle and gave it to Shuanghua, then her expression became a little more serious: "Actually, after coming here, I can feel a familiar atmosphere. It makes me miss it.

You just said that Saphir was here too, I guess she came here just for this aura."

He really knew the monster that Safir was looking for. Now that the other party has appeared, it is normal for Safir to rush over.

Little Paimon and Ying couldn't quite understand. Little Paimon touched his chin, not understanding: "Familiar smell?"

Zhen nodded, turned around and pointed not far away: "Have you been to the beach below?"

"Beach? Not yet. We just came to participate in the game." Ying shook her head. They had not left the Guardian Forest yet and had no idea what was happening outside.

Zhen nodded and suggested, "Well, I suggest you go take a look, and it's best to take that guy with you, because the person she is looking for should be there.

When we passed by there just now, we saw an open space on the beach with familiar-looking games set out on it.

I took a quick look and saw that it was to control a paddle ball suspended in the air and hit the pre-arranged element blocks. I saw it was called "Akitsu Game", which was somewhat similar to a game we played before called "Akitsu Feather Game".

"Akitsu Yuxi? What is that?" Little Paimon was very curious and asked.

Shin explained tirelessly, "It was a popular game at festivals, where a ball was hit against a target with a badminton board." At this point, she smiled unconsciously, "Come to think of it, I'm a master of Akitsu badminton. If there's a chance, we can have a competition."

"Huh?" Little Paimon was surprised. In her opinion, Ying was a very serious person. As Ying's sister, she should be more strict. After all, she could tame Scaramucci, who even Ying had no good way to deal with. But now it seems that this is not the case.

Zhen clenched his right fist and showed his strength: "What? Don't you believe it?"

"No, no, I just feel a little...contrast?" Little Paimeng thought for a long time and uttered this word.

Hearing the word "contrast", Zhen burst out laughing: "You don't think I'm as wooden as Ying, do you? But forgive me, I can't be so serious. Well... or rather, she is so wooden, most people can't do it, right?"

Ying looked at the vivid Zhen in front of her and suddenly had an inexplicable feeling. Although they were both old monsters who had lived for thousands of years, Zhongli and Ying just felt a little cold, giving people a cold and hard impression.

But Wendy and Zhen are completely different, they are much more vivid and don't seem to have been changed by time.

As for Pal, she gives people the greatest feeling of intelligence, just like Nashida when she grows up, and is also the god closest to her imagination.

"Alas... In the past, when the demons were still around, Inazuma's nights were much more lively than they are now." Zhen sighed, looking at the starry sky above his head, as if reminiscing about the past, "The demons would often hold celebrations, get together to drink, laugh, and improvise..."

Little Paimon imagined the scene at that time and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Will I be able to eat delicious food openly and often?"

"Of course! The monsters named their celebration the 'Mikawa Flower Festival'. I even dragged Ying to participate, but she's not good at talking and is a bit taciturn at the festival. She would feel embarrassed when other people talk to her." A smile appeared on Zhen's face.

She paused as she was talking, then continued, "Come to think of it, you've never seen Ying drunk, right? You must try it if you have a chance, it will be very interesting."

"Well! We must give it a try!" Little Paimon was immediately eager to try.

Ying quickly dispelled her friend's dangerous thoughts: "Little Paimon! If Inazuma is killed, the coupon from Kurumi will be useless!"

"Hmm..." Little Paimon suddenly sobered up and immediately shook his head, "Forget it, let's just go play that game. Drinking and such is really too dangerous."

Seeing that the little guy had calmed down, Zhen didn't continue to play tricks, but nodded and said: "In this case, let's go to the beach and try it. It's good to be able to play the old games even though we can't see the old times. But I just saw that it's still under repair, and I don't know if it's repaired now."

"Then let's go and take a look. Zhen, see you later. And Shuanghua, goodbye." Little Paimon took Ying and said goodbye to the two of them.

Zhen nodded at them, and when he saw them leave, he also left with Shuanghua.

"You came back specially, not just to see them, right?" Shuanghua asked as they walked.

Zhen curled his lips and said noncommittally: "Who knows? Maybe I will change my route just because I want to see someone?"

"Forget it, anything is fine. I have nowhere to go now anyway, and I have plenty of time." Shuanghua curled her lips and said nothing more.

Zhen looked at him, chuckled and shook his head: "You, it would be better if your personality was a little more lovely."

"I've told you I'm not a child." Shuanghua was extremely angry, but she had no way to deal with Zhen, so she had to endure it.

In the woods, the first round of the test of courage ended. Saphir changed into his own clothes, while Ying remained the same without changing his clothes.

"It seems like I just said some incredible information..." Saphir said with a hesitant look on his face.

Ying's expression froze for a moment, then he nodded: "So? What do you want to do?"

"Let's have a drink together when you have time." Safir grinned and showed his big teeth.

Ying took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "That information is outdated. Even if I drink too much now and fall into a coma, the general will take over my body to ensure that nothing out of control will happen."

Shadow's method was extremely clever, and he successfully avoided being caught in the act of being drunk.

Safir was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard this, but he still kept staring at the other person's chest.

Ying felt frightened by her lustful gaze, and couldn't help but cover his face with his hand and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Safir confessed like a straightforward child: "I was thinking... after you get drunk, how can I enter the Pure Land of One Mind?"

"What are you doing there?" Ying frowned, but met Saphir's ambiguous gaze. The little girl also raised her eyebrows, and it was self-evident what she wanted to express.

Ying was suddenly at a loss for words, and after thinking for a moment, he explained, "One Heart Pure Land is my consciousness space, and the entrance is not here..."

"Where is that?" Saphir blinked, then looked down...

"Bang!" "Hiss..."

On the other side, Ying and Paimon, who were preparing to return home, met Arata Ichito.

Brother Douzi was still immersed in the scary game and couldn't extricate himself. He urged Ying to hide with him, preparing to ambush them halfway and scare the people who followed.

"Shh... It should be around here." Arata Ichito lowered his voice, "Hurry, hurry, come and hide with me!"

Little Paimeng had been scared all day, and now she could finally scare people. She was eager to try: "Come on, Yidou, how are you going to scare them?"

"Of course, we should wait for them to come over, then we jump out from here together and shout loudly at the same time to scare them!" Arawaki Ito thought his idea was great.

Little Paimon was speechless: "What a...such a childish method."

This is nothing compared to the methods that Safir used to torture them.

Ying squatted silently on the side. She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but move a little further away from Arakaki Ichido.

Arata Ichito didn't take it seriously and explained, "Don't underestimate me, although the method is a little simple, I have already calculated their psychology.

Those guys must be walking back slowly while muttering "It's so boring" and "Let's go back quickly".

They are now completely defenseless, and the light here is dim. If three living people suddenly jump out from the bushes, they will definitely be scared.

We should run away before they can react and then ambush them at the next place!"

"Well, I'm the cook, and this is beet." Ying didn't want to say anything anymore, so she agreed.

Hearing footsteps, Aratake Ichito became excited: "Shh... Did you hear that? Someone is coming, it must be my brothers.

I'll count to three and we'll jump out together, three...two...one!"

“Ahhhhh!” “Wow!” “Hey ya!”

Three people jumped out together, yelling in different ways, and then...

Ying blinked, looked at the three people in front of him, and then looked at Saphir who had a big bag on his head: "Did you arrange this?"

Saphir looked at the three idiots in front of him, walked up slowly, and gave each of them a blow on the head, not even sparing little Paimon: "Who are you insulting? Who would be so scared!"
