Konoha: From the time Kuring dispatched generals to control Nine Tails

Chapter 144 White Fox Shrine
The home of the red leaves is a shrine located in the red maple forest of Mt. Oe.

If you go upstream along the stream, you can see a light red torii gate that has been faded by the wind and rain, facing the mountain road when the three of them came in the middle of the night.

Standing under the torii gate, Ziye keenly felt that the texture under her feet was somewhat different from before.

When I cut open the fallen leaves, I found that it was a whole bluestone slab.

Look back.

It was only then that Ziye discovered that the mountain road that Hongye took them through was actually a stone road paved with bluestones, several meters wide.

It's just that because no one has taken care of it for many years, this bluestone road is covered by thick fallen leaves, which is only faintly visible.

Now that Ziye was paying attention, he naturally saw a winding mountain road among the fallen leaves everywhere.

Although I haven't seen the scale of the shrine yet, just looking at the long mountain road paved with bluestone slabs, Ziye guessed that the shrine is definitely not small, at least it was a well-known big shrine back then.

Such a bluestone road can be paved in such a mountain forest.

Not to mention anything else, just the collection and transportation of these bluestones is a huge expense, not to mention that Dajiangshan is still a place where monsters are rumored to be haunted.

Can survive in this kind of place, and the incense is at its peak, how can the shrine itself have no strength?
After passing the Qingshi Mountain Road, there are one after another densely packed torii gates behind. The further you go, the brighter the color of the torii gates is, which proves that the age of the torii gates is also more recent.

Arriving at the last torii gate, it is brightly colored and red, as if it has just been erected.

After walking out of the torii, when the front of the shrine appeared in front of Ziye, everything in front of him really confirmed his conjecture.

The majestic and towering white wall stretches horizontally for an unknown number of miles, hidden in the red maple forest in the mountains.

Facing the torii is a pair of white fox statues sitting proudly.

Unlike other foxes that always give people a sense of cunning, this pair of white fox statues will only give people a sense of righteousness and fairy air no matter from which angle they look.

"What shrine is this?"

Ziye asked curiously.

"This is the White Fox Shrine. A few decades ago, it was also a well-known shrine around Kyoto, even as famous as Bajiao Temple in the northwest of Kyoto."

Speaking of the shrine, Hongye suddenly became energetic, and while leading the way, introduced it to the three of Ziye.

Just talking and talking, Hongye stopped talking, and blindly led the way in front.

Of course, even if she didn't say anything, Ziye could still guess a thing or two.

The White Fox Shrine was so powerful back then, but now it has become so deserted, with only the monster Hongye entrenched here, obviously something bad happened.

It is normal for Hongye not to want to bring up sad things.

After walking through the White Fox Shrine for a while, they turned around a huge red maple tree, and the red leaves led the three of them into a guest room.

This is an independent courtyard with independent rooms on three sides, which can be freely chosen by the three of them.

Unlike the mountain roads outside that were buried by fallen leaves, although these rooms have been unoccupied for many years, and some corners have been damaged, they are much better than the dusty floors and cobweb-stitched windows that Ziye imagined.

Obviously someone is taking care of it from time to time.

Midnight went around and found that not only these few houses were like this, but every house was like this.

"The three rest here for a while, Hongye will go and make some food for the three."

After Hongye finished speaking, she turned and left.

Zilai also looked at the slender back of the red leaves, drooling and smirking foolishly, still talking nonsense:

"Hey, that's great, she's beautiful and so gentle... Hey..."

Hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help but clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he wanted to go up to Zilaiye to wake up his mind if he couldn't breathe.

Seeing this, Ziye hurried forward, grabbed her hands, and stopped her.

Good guy, if this Tsunade punched the unprepared Jiraiya who was still a nympho with an angry punch, he would probably be half disabled, if not dead.

Midnight stopped Tsunade, pushed Jiraiya twice, woke him up from the delusion of the child's name, and told his discovery.

Although Tsunade and Jiraiya don't know what a monster is, both of them are contractors of the three holy lands of psychic beasts, and they have a certain understanding of natural energy, and they can also feel this faint aura permeating Hongye's body. Weird natural energy.

In Jiraiya's words:
Momiji gave him the same feeling as Fukasaku and Shima, two immortals, which other ninjas did not have, very kind.

and many more……

Zilai also suddenly recalled.

Like the two immortals Fukasaku and Shima?
Those are two green frogs!
Jilai also thought about Hongye's beautiful face and slender figure, and also thought about the body appearance of Fukasaku and Shima's two big frogs, and the terrifying insect cooking.

Instantly woke up a lot.

Although there are still many differences between the celestial psychic beast and the monster in the traditional sense, Ziye did not correct Jiraiya's mistake at this time, and it is obviously best to wake him up.

The reason why Ziye and the others didn't capture Hongye directly was not because of pity for fragrance and jade.

Instead, he suddenly entered a different world, and many situations were unclear, so it was not good to act rashly, lest it would lead to other crises.

And in theory.

Ziye had already completed the system tasks, so he should have absolute control over the "Hundred Ghosts at Night", but when he wanted to manipulate the catalog, find Xianglin and the other three, or leave directly, he was rejected.

Therefore, Zi Ye guessed that what he is facing now should be the "Hundred Ghosts at Night" identification test.

Only after passing the test can one fully control the "Hundred Ghosts at Night".

Since it was the Lord Recognition Ceremony, Ziye guessed where he had landed, and the problems he faced shouldn't be so straightforward.

If Momiji were just an evil youkai, then the puzzle would be a little too simple.

Therefore, how to act after midnight depends on what kind of behavior Hongye will do.

If she is kind and not a banshee who seduces passers-by and eats her flesh and blood, Ziye wants to have a frank and honest talk with her.

If she is evil, then the five thunders will be under the law.

Midnight can also let her know everything and talk endlessly.

……

The small temple is located in the courtyard of the Ji family.

Hualing quickly crossed the road paved with white stones, instead of going through the main entrance, she climbed over a low courtyard wall and bypassed the guards.

She had noticed it before.

There are indeed not many guards and maids in Yuji's family in the small temple, and most of them are concentrated in the inner courtyard. Only a few doors in the outer courtyard are guarded by guards.

As long as you go around them, you can leave without anyone noticing.

At this moment, Hua Ling showed the qualities of a professional spy ninja.

Observation, analysis, and action are all top-notch.

All the way to the last courtyard wall, Hua Ling didn't attract anyone's attention.
