Chapter 312: Fox Immortal?
Chapter 312: Fox Immortal?
The Thousand Spirits Shadow Festival has ended, and Inazuma's troupes are preparing to return to Inazuma.
Jiang Xun expressed his desire to take advantage of the ride.
Speaking of Zhen and Ying, I haven't seen them for a long time. While they were going back to Inazuma, Jiang Xun happened to go back with them.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Ruoli was very unhappy. Jiang Xun went to Inazuma to play alone, while she was called back to Liyue by Gui Zhong. However, Jiang Xun had no choice but to make her suffer for the time being.
"Inazuma? Well, actually I am also interested in Inazuma culture."
"In that case, Ms. Funina, would you like to go to Inazuma with us?"
Seeing that Funina expressed her desire to go to Inazuma, Kamisato Ayato immediately invited her, saying that this was a good opportunity to promote exchanges between the two countries, and as the head of the Kamisato family, he naturally had to seize this opportunity.
Unexpectedly, Funina shook her head and refused, "Oh, what a pity. Although I really want to go to Inazuma, there is a play that I am interested in going to be performed in a few days. I don't want to miss it, so let's go to it next time."
Very good, this answer is very Funina.
However, Jiang Xun always felt that she refused because she thought going out was too troublesome.
"Well, goodbye..."
After saying goodbye to Inazuma and his group, Jiang Xun and his companions boarded the return boat.
When the ship sailed out of Fontaine's waters and reached the sea, the water became turbulent.
But overall the sky was clear and there were no maritime accidents.
"Speaking of sea adventures, let me tell you a story."
Seeing that the journey was too quiet, Xiao Gong wanted to liven up the atmosphere and took the initiative to suggest.
"Oh, tell me?"
"When I was a child, I heard the adults in my family say that because of the Eye Hunting Order, the adults used to go fishing secretly at night. But every time they went fishing, they could see some mysterious black shadows moving on the sea. As soon as they got close, those black shadows disappeared."
"Oh? Are you hallucinating?"
Kamisato Ayato touched his chin and asked curiously.
"Hey, don't be impatient, just listen to me."
"At first, they all thought so, so after seeing it so often, the fishermen were no longer afraid. But later, news of fishermen disappearing in the sea would come from time to time."
"The disappearance of the fishermen was reported to the Tenryo Bugyo, but even when the Tenryo Bugyo took action, no one was found. It is also said that many soldiers disappeared at sea."
"You will never be able to imagine what will happen next!"
Having said this, Xiao Gong actually stopped talking and started to keep the secret.
"I guess it was the General who took action?"
Kamisato Ayaka guessed.
"That's not right, Linghua!"
"So...fishing is prohibited in that sea area?"
"What Ayato said is not true either."
Then Xiao Gong turned his gaze to Jiang Xun.
"Well, I don't know!"
Jiang Xun decisively said that he didn't know. He really couldn't guess how the story would develop, because according to the information revealed by Xiao Gong's story, everything started well but ended badly, with no connection.
"Oh, that's really boring. Well, I'll tell you then."
Xiao Gong then cleared his throat and said, "Later, the group of people and soldiers who disappeared on the sea all appeared on the beach along the coast. According to them, they saw a figure with a fox tail in their blurred vision. It was that person who sent them back."
"So it's Yae Miyaji?"
Kamisato Ayaka nodded and said thoughtfully.
"No, Yae Miyaji once came out to clarify that she had never rescued anyone at sea."
"I can prove this. Even if Yaejinko is bored, she will never go for a stroll on the sea. She will only stay in the Meishin Taisha Shrine, eating fried tofu and reading light novels."
While Jiang Xun was explaining, he did not forget to discredit the scumbag fox.
“And then what?”
"Then, it was left unresolved. The fishermen were afraid to go out to sea to fish at night because of this incident, and the general did not make any statement, so the incident was gradually forgotten."
"Well, that's an interesting story."
"Brother is right."
The Kamisato siblings nodded one after another. With their family background, these kinds of stories spread privately by street citizens had never happened to them. This was the first time they had heard of them.
"Is that right? Hehe, I remember it very clearly. I heard that the fishermen who were rescued worshiped the sea every day, and kept saying thank you to the fox fairy."
"If there is a chance, I would also like to meet that fox fairy."
Xiao Gong has a look of longing on her face, which shows that this story has had a profound impact on her. She must have been deeply influenced by it since she was a child.
"Fox Immortal?"
Jiang Xun didn't pay too much attention to this. There were many monsters in Inazuma, but they either hid somewhere and didn't come out, or stayed in the barrier they created.
Maybe it was some monster that had some good intentions.
"Look at that!"
Xiao Gong suddenly stood up, pointed forward, and said, "I heard that the fishermen disappeared near there."
A few people stood up and looked in that direction, and found nothing but sea water.
But Jiang Xun felt something was wrong, there was the aura of a barrier ahead.
"Actually, I suggest that we take a detour."
Jiang Xun's sudden words aroused doubts from the others.
“Is there anything wrong with this route?”
Jiang Xun wanted to explain, but he stopped because at the current speed of the boat, it was too late even to turn.
The huge ship rushed forward, carrying the passengers on board and sinking into a transparent film.
After entering the film, everything around them changed. The original sea water disappeared, and instead they came to a port.
Seeing this, several people looked around vigilantly.
"Find a place to stop the boat first, and everyone must be careful!"
Kamisato Ayato said seriously.
Following his command, the ship slowly approached the shore, and then a large number of guards got off the ship first to investigate the danger, followed by Jiang Xun and others.
"It seems that there is no danger for the time being..."
“Don’t take it lightly!”
Kamisato Ayato reminded.
"Yes, brother!"
"Jiang Xun, where are you going?"
The three people from Xiao Palace were still looking around vigilantly, but Jiang Xun was walking forward on his own, not afraid of the danger that might be lurking in the dark.
"Everyone, relax, this place is not as dangerous as you think."
Jiang Xun led the way, bypassing countless bamboo forests that blocked the view, and a huge market appeared in front of everyone.
"Everyone, have you heard of the Monster Market?"
