The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 245 Your Wish
Good fortune and disaster have always been interdependent. The high danger of the evil spirit determines that it is not an energy that obediently follows human commands. On the contrary, if you are accidentally caught by it, the eruption of disaster will instantly engulf the entire Taling Sand.

What's more... Ying glanced in the direction of Taliangsha and sighed in his heart.

She could sense that there was a problem with the smelting plant of Tatiana sand. If it was not dealt with in time, the people of Daozi would have to endure even more suffering.

Ying retracted his gaze and turned to Chen Tianfeng. Before he could speak, he saw his slightly surprised look and frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

Why are you looking at her like that?

"Nothing, no, I should say it's very good."

Chen Tianfeng shook his head and smiled: "Eat half of the evil spirit, right? That's easy, just leave it to me. I've never eaten it before, so let me try it to see what it tastes like."

The growth of gods often only takes a moment.

After hiding in the pure land of Isshin and avoiding the shadow for five hundred years, he finally turned his attention to Inazuma, began to face the problems facing Inazuma, and tried to take the first step.

This is a great thing, worth celebrating by eating half a piece of Suishen.

"Um, two of you?"

Hua Sanli looked at Chen Tianfeng and Ying, who seemed to have forgotten her existence and were concentrating on chatting privately, and whispered, "It was all a misunderstanding just now. If there is nothing else, can you let me leave?"

"No hurry, I have something to ask you."

Chen Tianfeng seemed to have just remembered that there was a third person here. He turned his gaze and asked in Hua Sanli's wary eyes: "What's your name?"

"You can call me Hanasari."

"Nice name. What are you?"

"The shrine maiden of Narukami Taisha..." Hanasari glanced at the expressions of the two people, and seeing that they did not believe it at all, she said helplessly: "Well, I was born into the filth of the earth veins by accident."

"What is your purpose for coming here?" Chen Tianfeng continued to ask.

"..."

Hanasari was silent for a few seconds, then moved closer to Ying, as if she felt more confident and secure this way: "To find the destined person."

Ying looked at Hanasari, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart became stronger and stronger. She frowned and said, "What destined person?"

"A person who can purify filth and is appreciated by Lei."

"Purify the filth? You want to kill yourself?"

"…Your Excellency may think so."

Hanasari nodded slightly and said, "As you know, the Thunder Sakura tree symbolizes the eternal watch of the Thunder God, and has the power to exorcise evil and purify the earth veins. But the roots that channel pollution will be eroded over time, and the polluted parts will gradually form tumors. If left unattended, not only will the sacred cherry be damaged, but Inazuma will also face disaster."

"It's amazing that filth would want to be purified."

Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze resting on Hanasakuri's white fox mask, and suddenly asked: "Why do you always wear a mask?"

"…For some reasons that are inconvenient to talk about, please don't worry about it, sir."

"You give me a familiar feeling, have we met somewhere before?"

"Your Excellency is mistaken. You are the General of Inazuma, and I am the filth flowing in the earth veins. How could I have met you before?"

"Then take off your mask and let me see your face."

The shadow chased after him relentlessly, and the familiar feeling grew stronger, with a certain name tumbling in his chest, ready to come out.

Hanasari turned her eyes away and said, "I'm sorry, General. People like me are filthy, and our appearance was complete when we were born, so there is nothing under the mask - the mask is my face."

"Do you think I am Gobozo, telling such crude and childish lies?"

Ying was suddenly stunned, looking at Hanasari, his eyes widened little by little, and the familiar name was finally blurted out: "Konzai Palace... Are you Kitsuzai Palace?!"

Gohyukura is a famous giant raccoon demon in Inazuma. He has a simple mind like a child - the kind that is lively and naughty.

What Kitsukosaiguni liked most was to coax it with childish lies. Every time, Gobazo would be foolishly fooled and it would take a long time for him to react. He would angrily shout "I will never forgive that fox woman again". But the next time Kitsukosaiguni went to find it, they would quickly make peace with each other as if they had completely forgotten what they had said not long ago.

The last time Kitsukosaiguni used this to trick Gohyuko was five hundred years ago. At that time, the dark disaster suddenly came, and Kitsukosaiguni went to stop it. Before leaving, she was worried that the big demon raccoon who couldn't fight would be affected by the disaster, so she found it and said she wanted to play hide-and-seek with it. She asked Gohyuko to hide as soon as possible and not be easily found by her.

The raccoon clan is the best at hiding, but Kitsaigong can always see through Gobazo's disguise. This game of hide-and-seek was Gobazo's first win, and also the last time he defeated Kitsaigong.

Hua Sanli lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly under the mask, and said softly: "General, you are wrong."

She is not Kitsukosaiguni, although she inherited Kitsukosaiguni's memories.

Kitsunayagiya is the chief priest of Narujin Taisha Shrine, a true family member, a close friend of Kage, and the one who gave everything for Inazuma. But she is just filth, filth condensed from Kitsunayagiya's memories.

"..."

Ying's purple eyes lit up, and she tried to find out the essence of Hua Sanli again without giving up. The answer was obvious. She clenched and unclenched her hands, and was silent for a long time. She took a deep breath and said, "Can you tell me your story?"

"My story is boring..."

Hua Sanli raised her head and met Ying's gaze. Seeing the nostalgia and sadness flowing in her purple eyes, she could not say no. She sighed in her heart, moved away from Chen Tianfeng and moved closer to Ying: "But if you want to listen, I won't refuse."

Chen Tianfeng: “…”

Chen Tianfeng pretended that he didn't notice Hua Sanli's little action.

Hanasari was silent for a few seconds, as if thinking about how to tell her short life story. Gradually, she came up with an idea, and her cherry lips slightly opened under the mask, her tone was extremely gentle.

A confused birth, a helpless wandering, the contradiction and separation between the "self" in memory and the reality, the pain of not knowing who you are, and the final enlightenment awakened by that gentle memory.

Hanasari spoke softly, telling the god in front of her about the birth and growth of the being named Hanasari, and finally smiled and said, "This is everything I have, General."

Ying was silent for a long time, until the moon was slanting, and then he exhaled softly: "You want to perform the Divine Sakura Purification, right?"

"Well, this is my duty." Hua Sanli nodded.

"I understand." Ying pursed her lips and said, "I will help you."

Hanasari blinked her eyes and smiled in surprise: "I thought you would stop me."

"It's your wish."

Ying looked away, not looking at her: "It is not reasonable for me to take it away."

"Thank you."

Hanasari looked at Ying and for some reason wanted to hug her at this moment.

She raised her arm slightly, then quickly stopped and put it down before Ying turned his gaze back: "Then I'll trouble you, General, to help me find my destined person."
