Hanamaru Shrine under construction

Sitting with his daughter on one side and his younger brother on the other, Laiguang, who was caught in the middle, brightened up, and the cursed depression was swept away.Although it was not the first time for Xianyu to dine with others, it was the first time for Xianyu to sit directly on the table without being covered by the imperial curtain. This kind of thing must be against the rules in the eyes of the wet nurse, but she couldn't change Raikou's decision.Different from the usual simple style, in order to welcome Lai Xin, the banquet menu is unprecedentedly luxurious, and the tableware is lined up in a row, which is completely formulated according to the highest rules.

Laiguang and Lai Xin haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they have a lot to say, and Xianyu couldn't get in the way of those family-related business, so he concentrated on studying the food on the plate.It was inconvenient for the maids to listen to the family's business, so they put down the food and left in a hurry. Soon there were only Xianyu, Laiguang, and Lai Xin left in the room.

Xu was to take care of the only woman at the table, the kitchen specially prepared soft and glutinous Ji rice for Ji Jun, but Xianyu couldn't understand the thoughtfulness of the back kitchen, so he threw the tired Ji rice aside first, and then He turned his head and pulled the nearby rice over.

Neither Lai Xin nor Lai Guang himself noticed that the sharp rice that was supposed to be provided to the hostess was missing.

In addition to rice, there are also seafood such as sea cucumbers and shrimps on the plate. To Xianyu's surprise, poultry jerky, which was rarely seen in the past, also appeared on the table.Xianyu first picked up some steamed abalone and grilled chicken legs to eat, and finally hesitantly looked at the large slices of raw food, not only carp, salmon, snapper and other fish fillets, but even pheasants were raw. Fortunately, during this time She is also used to raw food. When the first chopsticks are clamped, the second and third chopsticks will rise naturally, dip these raw fish slices in vinegar wine seasoning and suffocate them in one mouthful.

After the dishes were almost eaten, Xianyu rubbed his belly and focused his attention on the exquisitely placed Tang fruits. These snacks all had literary and fresh names, such as plum branches, guixin, and Tuanxi...Although Xianyu couldn't remember into the brain, but can swallow them all in the stomach.After eating the snacks, Xianyu wiped his mouth contentedly, and while drinking the soup, he grabbed dried fruits and gnawed on them.

In other words, there are still a lot of dishes on the table.Eat some more, eat a little more, it should be fine...

Many men forget to eat as soon as they drink, especially if they chatter, meals that can be completed in 30 minutes will be delayed until midnight. Although it is a bad eating habit, it is turned into a tradition by this group of people.Fortunately, both Laikou and Laixin are extremely self-disciplined warriors. Considering that they will be on duty the next day, they will not drink too much alcohol, and the two are mostly talking.

"Brother, do you know about the snake god that appeared out of nowhere?" Lai Xin asked, remembering the several bad human sacrifices he encountered on the road.When he came back, he had already reported this matter to His Majesty, but the Emperor did not say anything, but had a strange expression.

"I know." Lai Guang obviously knew more than Lai Xin. When he mentioned this matter, he said with a gloomy expression, "This matter is not that simple. Don't make it public. Master Daoist has decided otherwise."

Lai Xin knew his elder brother very well, seeing Lai Guang's face, he asked in surprise, "Is someone from Genji involved?"

Glancing at him, Lai Guang nodded and said, "The Huangbie family is involved."

(Note that because this article was written earlier, it is contrary to the plot in the later stage of the game, so the plot and Orochi are set to be semi-original.)

"This is impossible, we are the descendants of Tianjin God, how can we believe in that kind of messy god..." Lai Xin couldn't believe it.

"The so-called snake god is the Yamata no Orochi who was killed by Suzhan Mingzun, but he didn't really die, he was only sealed in the gap between Yin and Yang. This ancient desolate god is far more powerful than ordinary gods , It is almost impossible to completely solve him. Fortunately, during the thousands of years of being sealed, he did not take the initiative to provoke humans."

"Then why..." Lai Xin was puzzled.

Speaking of this, Laiguang's expression became even more gloomy, and said, "A group of greedy idiots found him and offered sacrifices voluntarily for convenience. They told the emperor that the seal of Yamata no Orochi was broken, and the blood sacrifice of God of Tianjin was needed to re-seal it. Therefore, from generation to generation in the royal family, royal women have been reduced to sacrificial witches. In fact, this kind of statement is not at all deliberate, but the interests of onmyojis are connected and no one is willing to expose it."

"Those guys are fools, right? If the sacrifice continues for a long time, it will no longer be a rumor but a fact that Yamata no Orochi broke through the seal and reappeared in the world!" If the Qi snake really came out, the elder brother must be the first to fight.

"That's right, maybe Yamata no Orochi's initial transaction with humans was just a whim, but now he has indeed noticed that sacrificing the priestess can really bring him back to the world." Laiguang guessed.

"Then... does the emperor know?"

"I didn't know it before, but now I know it. After all, the current ruler is the Fujiwara family of the Kamibetsu clan." Laiguang said with deep meaning.

In the newly compiled surname record compiled in the early Heian period, 1182 surnames were divided into three categories-Huangbie, Shenbie, and Zhufan.

After Emperor Jimmu, all the clans of the royal family, such as Genji, Heira, and Abe, belong to this category.The gods are the ethnic groups that arose in the age of mythology, and the descendants of the gods who came down with the descendants of the gods, such as the Fujiwara clan, the Owari clan, and the Musashi clan.And Zhufan is the surname of immigrants, including immigrants from China, North Korea and other countries.

Michijo Fujiwara, a descendant of the God of Tianjin, believes that believing in Yamata no Orochi is an insult to his own blood.With his support, the onmyojis also had the confidence to tell the truth, and exposed the truth about the so-called sacrificial royal daughter in one go.

The emperor, who learned the truth, fainted in the early morning on the spot, and it took three days to recover.

Although the emperor is very afraid of ghosts and ghosts, he is a good person. He has been suppressed by Mr. Fujiwara. Facing the pressure of the other surnames, he is hardened. He said, "Gao Tianyuan entrusted us with the world. Supreme glory. What you have done is actually forgetting your ancestors."

So far, no one has mentioned Yamata no Orochi on the surface, but driven by profit, the sacrifice has never been really cut off.Because it involved too much, even the emperor was helpless, unable to completely eliminate it.

Talking about such a topic is a bit heavy, and Brother Laiguang and Lai Xin fell silent for a while.The only sound left in the room was the sound of Xianyu gnawing on a peach.Lai Guang finally remembered his daughter. He looked back at her and gnawed on a big peach, and said, "You can't grow tall just by eating fruit. Come on, have some food..." His voice stopped abruptly, and he found the tableware in front of him It was empty, and there were only a few fruits left on the plate.

Lai Guang scratched his face, a little skeptical about life, what about... food? !He picked up his bowl and found that the rice was gone.

After hearing about Yamata no Orochi, Lai Xin poured himself a bottle of wine in a sulky mood, and now he was a little bit over the top, and said, "Let's eat it up after chatting, and just ask someone to come to another table."

"That's it." Lai Guang called for more food.

"Father, eat mine." Xianyu handed his Ji rice to Lai Guang with a guilty conscience.

"Okay...!" Laiguang, who was flattered by his daughter's concern, picked up the bowl.

The maids who were already guarding the door obeyed the order to enter the room, and they were a little surprised to see the empty plates in the room. When they saw Raikou's empty bowl and a small pile of fruit stones next to him, his expression was full of surprise. some disdain.Mr. Lai Guang is too careless. He just eats for himself and doesn't leave it for his brothers and children. He even grabs Ji's rice. Poor Ji Jun can only eat fruit.

Lai Xin picked up two mouthfuls of rice, but he didn't think there was any food. He suddenly remembered something, put down the bowl and said, "Come here! Send these boxes to Ji Jun's house." Almost choked, Lai Xin smiled and said, "It's full of gadgets, we men don't need it, Xiaoyu just accept it." Boys from the Wu family began to exchange real knives when they were five years old, so they can't be given away. These.

"Then accept it." Lai Guang replied for Xian Yu.

Seeing what they said, Xianyu stopped being polite.

When the food plate was filled with food again, Xianyu didn't eat too much, and just dipped a bit of each, which was just the amount for an ordinary princess.After drinking and eating, Lai Guang, who will be on duty tomorrow, reluctantly bid farewell to his younger brother, and dragged his exhausted body back to the bedroom. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of his feet exploding, and the ensuing There's a bad smell coming...

"..."

Raikou, be patient, this is my daughter's dog!

...

Back in the bedroom, Xianyu crushed the steamed meat brought from the banquet and fed it to the dog general. She was worried that the puppy would not be able to eat the food, but as a monster, it has a surprisingly good appetite. Even the meat at the bottom of the bowl The soup is also licked clean.Foxnosuke showed a kind smile of his old father beside him, and took the initiative to walk over to circle up the puppy and help him lick his hair.

"..." To be honest, Xianyu is really skeptical at the moment, that General Inu is the son of Fox.

After the puppy was full, he played with Foxnosuke, biting its tail fiercely to practice hunting skills.Seeing the bald and messy hair on the tail, Hu Zhizhu felt pained and happy, and he had to praise the little guy for a good job.

While Foxanosuke was playing with the puppy, Xianyu washed his hands and took off the newly acquired Taidao and short sword from the knife holder.After receiving the lessons from the previous few times, she dared not put the knife on a high place, but placed it flat on the ground, and then covered her hand to input spiritual power.

This time there was no accident. When the petals condensed by divine power scattered, two figures, one big and one small, appeared in front of Xianyu.

The tall man has a handsome appearance, one of his eyes is blocked, and his sharp demeanor when he is silent gives Xianyu the illusion that the other party may be very cold, but soon, the smile on his lips makes him His whole body softened.Although it is a Japanese sword, he has the temperament of a western gentleman. He said, "I am Mitsutada Candlestick Kiri, a knife that can cut through bronze candlesticks."

This way of naming is really familiar and makes the scalp tingle, Xianyu thought.

After finishing his opening lines, Candlestick Cut Guangzhong began to complain first, saying, "...Well, it really isn't handsome enough."

After hearing this, Xianyu persuaded, "It's okay, there are still people called razors, don't you feel comforted thinking about it?"

Candlestick Kiri was stunned for a moment before realizing she was talking about Mustache Kiri.

The short knife was slowly moved out from behind the long legs. This was a very thin, delicate and cute boy. He grabbed his hem awkwardly and said, "I am the five tigers retreating..." The gods all looked over, thinking about what they had said earlier, he hurriedly explained, "That...hasn't actually been repulsed."

Seeing the little tigers at his feet, Xianyu jumped up and said first, "Oh, I understand, after all, fat tigers are so cute!!"
