Chapter 73: Page 73

... .... 0

——It should be said that she is worthy of being the leader of contemporary shrine maidens, for she has foresight.

In comparison, Fujiwara no Mokou, who only knew how to eat meatballs from beginning to end, was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

"I've already left my mark on her."

"Let's go and see what's going on with that girl."

……

Kikyo's magic of finding people is reliable.

At the same time, the girl didn't seem to have any intention of hiding her tracks.

Nanxing and others followed the traces left by the Shikigami and headed west.

After walking for about two hours, we had already walked out of the narrow area of ​​"Kyoto" and arrived at the nearby mountains and forests.

A mountain road covered with fallen leaves appeared in front of Nanxing and others.

They walked forward curiously, and after a while they saw a dilapidated temple.

The temple's plaque has long become dilapidated after years of wind and rain.

The writing can only be discerned by its rough outline.

【Shoji Temple】.

The big eater girl was sitting on the steps inside the temple, staring at the sunset in the sky in a daze, as if she was waiting for someone.

She heard footsteps outside the door and looked up in surprise.

But when she saw the face of the person who came, the surprise on her face quickly turned into confusion.

"You are……"

"Ah, I remembered!"

"It's the knife-selling guy who almost beat me."

"Why, you're not convinced? Do you want to compete with me again?"

Chapter 87: Saigyouji Yuyuko

Nanxing was naturally not convinced by the match just now.

After all, that was the first time he had failed in a mission since he traveled through time.

Moreover, the price of failure was the lovely Hinata-chan.

But if he were to compete with the girl in front of him again... he absolutely didn't want to do it.

At this moment, looking at the excitement on the girl's face, Nanxing understood it too.

In the previous game, he even resorted to such despicable means as "cheating".

But the girl in front of him had not yet used her full strength.

——Look at her flat belly without any undulations.

One can't help but wonder if her stomach leads to another dimension.

But then again.

"Why does this girl live in the temple?"

"Is this her home?"

Nanxing felt a little strange.

I turned my head subconsciously and glanced at Kikyo.

She found nothing of note in the temple.

This is a very ordinary temple that looks like no one has visited it for a long time.

——Temple like this are very common in Kyoto and are not worth making a fuss about.

It is said that there are more than 1,400 temples of various sizes in the entire city of Kyoto (in a broad sense).

"But the name Shojiji Temple... I seem to have heard it somewhere."

Kikyo thought with a frown.

At the same time, Fujiwara no Mokou, who had no idea what "being distant" meant, had become good friends with the girl who called herself "Saigyouji Yuyuko", and they could talk about anything.

"Youyouzi, you are amazing. How on earth do you manage to eat so much?"

"No, it's nothing special... I just ate two bites."

"Is this your home? Why do you live in a temple?"

"Um……"

"Wow, this cherry tree is so big!"

Looking at the treetops that seemed to be piercing the sky, Fujiwara no Mokou let out a cry of surprise.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard for her to imagine that there was such a huge cherry tree in the world.

At the same time, what made her feel even more unbelievable was.

This cherry tree has grown so big, but it hasn't transformed into a monster yet!

"This is a rare thing indeed."

She patted the trunk of the cherry tree and exclaimed in amazement.

At the same time, I was also looking at the cherry tree.

Kikyo, who had been frowning and troubled by the name "Shojiji", suddenly had an idea.

She finally remembered where this Shengji Temple was!

"I wish to die under the flowers in spring, when the moon is full on the fifteenth day of February."

This is a very famous Japanese poem.

From a famous singer in the late Heian period.

In later generations, he was even revered as the "Singing Saint".

His name is Sato Yoshikiyo.

But what is better known to the world is his Buddhist name.

【Master Journey to the West】.

And now, the big eater girl in front of her calls herself "Saigyouji Yuyuko".

Right, everything is right.

"You are the descendant of the wizard who traveled to the west!"

Kikyo made a reasonable guess.

But to her surprise, after hearing the name "Master Saigyo", Saigyoji Yuyuko did not show any special expression on her face.

"probably."

She shook her head and spoke very calmly.

They are neither proud of their ancestors nor have any other special attitude.

This may be normal.

After all, three hundred years have passed since Sato Yoshikiyo's death.

For human beings, this world is too long, so that only a name remains to be passed down to future generations.

And the cherry tree in front of you is said to have been planted by Master Xixing himself.

【Westward Cherry Blossoms】

……

Let’s not talk about the communication between Nanxing and others and Saigyouji Yuyuko for now.

Meanwhile, on the remote island of Shikoku.

A battle that took place in a hidden corner, unknown to the world, has just come to an end.

The loser of the battle was the famous youkai sage, Yakumo Yukari.

——She was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, nailed to the bamboo, and then hung upside down by the bent bamboo. The bright red blood slowly flowed from the wound, and she looked extremely miserable.

But what is strange is that.

Even though she was in such a miserable state, her face still showed a smile as if she was a winner.

"Sure enough...I found it!"

"You, you...are hiding here..."

Looking at the figure slowly walking out from the depths of the bamboo forest, Yakumo Yukari did not hide her excitement.

And Bayi Yonglin frowned.

to be frank.

She knew that sooner or later she would have to deal with this "Monster Sage".

——There is a destiny connection between the two of them... 0

But it definitely shouldn't be now.

“It was brought forward.”

"Sure enough, is it because of this moon?"

She looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.

After more than a month of stability, the moon created by Nanxing has gradually stabilized. Its existence has completely overlapped with the real moon.

Faced with such a moon, even a god from the Moon God lineage might find it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

But Yakumo Yukari can be sure that the moon above must be fake!

"The two moons in the sky before... were your masterpiece, right?"

"I'm curious, what exactly do you want to do?"

Yakumo Yukari asked tentatively.

This made Bayi Eirin very unhappy.

You know, Yakumo Yukari was clearly the intruder.

But now, she has taken the initiative and played the role of "questioner".

However, Bayi Yonglin is not a pushover either.

"Do you still have time to care about me now?"

She sneered, directly avoided the topic and started a new one.

"What do you mean?"

Yakumo Yukari was stunned, not knowing what Yakumo Eirin was up to.

And this time, Bayi Eirin did not act as a riddler anymore.

She waved her hand gently, and with the help of the penetrating moonlight, the scene near Kyoto was presented to Yakumo Yukari.

Looking at the city in front of her, Yakumo Yukari was stunned.

She had lived in Kyoto for more than four hundred years and was naturally very familiar with the city.

But, I don't know why.

The Kyoto City shown by Yagi Eirin gave her an indescribable feeling of weirdness.
