"Don't get lost this time, Kumbu Maru."

The night drowned everything, and the relationship between the two was completely lost.

The two have become eternal memories of each other.

"Later, Qian Laixiang left Narugami Taisha, and unexpectedly got acquainted with the former owner of the sunken ship."

"Ako Domeki Zaemon who has the title of 'Immortal Ghost'."

Jiang Mu touched the rotten shipwreck in front of him.

"The Ako Domeki is very similar to the Konbumaru back then. Qian Naixiang once lost the Konbumaru, and she decided to protect the Domeki no matter what."

"She chose to betray the general and become an enemy of the shogunate, and she disappeared afterwards."

"And the talking cat was raised by Qian Lai, who has been waiting for Qian Lai in the shrine for hundreds of years."

"Let's go, Manyo, to Asara Shrine." Jiang Mu didn't choose to visit Qinglai Maru.

"Okay." Fengyuan Wanye nodded, and didn't ask Jiang Mu how he knew such a story.

"Hmm..." Jiang Mu stretched again.

"Wan Ye, do you think Ling Hua will agree if I confess my love to you?" Jiang Mu asked suddenly with a red face and a beating heart.

"Hmm...huh?" Fengbara Manyo was stunned.

Is this something I can listen to without paying?

The idea that took root in his heart not long ago sprouted at this moment.

"So, you were so angry that night because your date with Miss Shenli was interrupted?" There was a flame of gossip in the usually calm maple red eyes.

The corner of Jiang Mu's mouth twitched, that night might be the regret of my life...

"Yes." Jiang Mu nodded with a blushing face.

Damn, I blush a bubble teapot?

"Then, are you planning to confess your love to Ms. Kamisato at the celebration banquet?" Fengbara Manyo asked again.

"Huh? Is this obvious?" Jiang Mu was taken aback.

"Well, you should be planning to return to Liyue, so you dragged me to Qinglai Island before your body fully recovered. Thinking about it this way, it's easy to guess." Fengbara Wanye smiled slightly.

"...So, do you think she will agree?" Jiang Mu dragged the question back, suddenly becoming nervous for some reason.

"I think..." Fengbara Manyo deliberately elongated her voice.

Really, who can say no to gossip from a good friend?

"Well...I think..."

Jiang Mu's heartbeat almost stopped.

"Well, I think she will agree." Fengyuan Wanye saw Jiang Mu's gradually ugly face, and didn't continue to tease him.

"Why, why?" Jiang Mu was insanely happy when he heard Fengyuan Manyo's words.

"It's easy to guess, she has light in her eyes when she looks at you." Fengbara Manyo recalled the scene of meeting the two in the White Fox Field that night.

"Huh? Tell me quickly and carefully..."

……

While talking, the two came to the Shrine of Asana.

In the shrine at this moment, there is no cash box, no painted horse stand, no stone statue of the sleeping child, and there is no cat in the cloud in the sky.

There are just a lot of kittens guarding the withered cherry trees, spending their boring time here.

"Who are you?" Neko asked when he saw Jiang Mu and Fengbara Manyo walking towards it.

"Hello, Master Nezi, we are people visiting the shrine." Jiang Mu greeted it.

"How do you know the name of the servant's family?" The sleeping child was startled.

"Uh, uh, I heard that, after all, you may be the only one who can talk like you, Quan Tiwat." Jiang Mu scratched his head.

"It turns out that this is the case. You are the first human beings who have come here in so many years." Sleeper nodded very humanely.

"My lord, do you want more people to come to the shrine?" Jiang Mu's voice was full of temptation.

"Can you get more people to visit the shrine?"

"That's really great. When there are more people visiting the shrine, Ah Xiang will definitely come back!"

Hearing the word "A Xiang", Jiang Mu and Fengyuan Manyo's eyes were a little complicated.

For some reason, Jiang Mu, who originally planned to ask the sleeping son about Qian Laixiang, suddenly didn't want to ask.

He turned around and looked at the kittens here. I don't know how many generations it is?

By the way, there is one of them called Kumbu Maru.

"Manyo, take the things out."

Fengbara Manyo took out a cash box, an ema stand, and a pot.

The pot contained the "Vital Meow Rice" that I consulted with Anna Kinami.

"My lord, if you have these two things, the shrine will come."

"Also, this pot is what I prepared for the kittens."

"Meow?"

"You are really a good person, I thank you very much."

Jiang Mu smiled, put the cash box in front of the shrine, and then put the ema stand in the east of the shrine.

Kaedehara Manyo was holding a pot to feed the kittens.

After these things were done, the two began to help clean the shrine again, which took a lot of effort.

Their behavior really touched Jingzi, and Jingzi expressed his gratitude and firmly believed that Ah Xiang would be very happy when he came back.

Jiang Mu didn't know whether he should tell it the truth.

Qian Laixiang gave it a life with no end in sight, and let it wait here for a hundred years. Is this luck or curse?

Jiang Mu and Fengyuan Wanye stayed here for a while, and it could be seen that no one had been here for a long time, and Neko talked a lot, telling what every kitten here had done in the past few days.

The two of them saw that the sun was setting, and it might be risky to go back at night, so they simply stayed here for one night and went back early the next morning.

Chapter 29

"Then goodbye, Mr. Sleeper!" Jiang Mu waved his hands to bid farewell to Sleeper, the purple bracelet under the sleeve of his left hand was exposed

"Goodbye." Fengbara Manyo said very succinctly.

"Wait a minute!" Just as the two were about to turn around, Zongzi suddenly yelled.

"What's the matter, my lord?" Jiang Mu asked.

"You... do you know Ah Xiang?" Jingzi's voice lost his composure.

Jiang Mu was a little confused.

"I don't know the Ah Xiang you mentioned." He really didn't know him.

"But what happened to the bracelet on your hand?" Sleeper was a little excited.

"Bracelet?" Jiang Mu raised his left hand.

"This is my family's ancestral saber, my teacher's once."

"Oh yes, my teacher has a nickname called 'Kumbu Wan'."

Qian Laixiang must have told the sleeping child about Wuqi Gaoling.

"Is that so..." Zongzi's tone became a little disappointed.

"Ru, come with the slave's house." After saying that, the sleeping son jumped off, and then started to run.

Jiang Mu and Fengyuan Manyo followed behind it, and the two of them and the cat came to the hillside behind the huge cherry blossom tree.

Neko stopped next to another cherry blossom tree, and next to it was a stone with a rope tied on it and a cat's claw ema carved on it.

"Ru come and push the stone away." Sleeping child pointed to the stone.

Jiang Mu complied.

"Dig out the soil under the stone." Sleeper said again.

Despite his doubts, Jiang Mu still took the fog cutter and started digging.

Wuqie never imagined in his life that he would play the role of a shovel even after he had advanced to become a godcut.

After digging about half a meter deep, Jiang Mu felt that Wuqie touched something, he retracted Wuqie, and took out the soft soil with his hands.

There was an exquisite wooden box, which seemed to have been buried in the soil for a long time, but for some reason there was no sign of decay.

"Ru, take the box away." Seeing this familiar and distant box, Sleeper recalled the past.

This box was buried the day before Ah Xiang left, and she put a string of bracelets in it.

"Nezi, after I leave, if you see someone coming to the shrine with the same bracelet as it, you bring him here and let him take the bracelet away."

At that time, Jingzi, who could not speak, nodded seriously, and vowed to complete this task.

"This is the box left by Ah Xiang, she asked me to give it to you." Nezi explained to the confused Jiang Mu.

Hearing this, Jiang Mu took out the box and opened it lightly, only to see a string of bracelets lying quietly inside, almost exactly the same as the Wuqie bracelets.

He stretched out his left hand and touched the bracelet inside the box.

Jiang Mu's heart began to beat wildly, not because he got the Feilei Zhixian Vibration, a weapon that was not inferior to Wuqie, but because he thought of a possibility.

"Don't forget, who taught you to put your consciousness on objects." The voice of Yae Shenzi echoed in my ears.

Yae Shenzi knows this trick, and the previous Shenzi Hu Zhaigong may also do this trick.

Qian Laixiang knew that Kumbu Maru was killed by her own hands, and the one she left Feilei waiting for could not be Wuqie Gaoling, but only the person holding Wukie.

"Manye, Neko, wait for me for a moment." Jiang Mu closed his eyes.

The familiar dizziness came, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a simple log cabin.

After the war with Ying, the log cabin in the fog cutting space also became without cracks.

It was exactly the same as the cabin in front of me.

Jiang Mu walked to the wooden house, and gently pushed open the wooden door.

There was no sound of the rope being tightened, and no danger was sensed, only a shrine maiden in a shrine costume sitting there quietly.

The maiden turned around slowly, she was not as old as Kirikiri Takarei, she was about 50 or [-] years old.

Qian Laixiang raised her head and looked at Jiang Mu, but she was a little scared when she wanted to speak.

Jiang Mu grinned and saluted her.

"Junior Jiang Mu."

"Master, Fog Cut Gaoling!"

"Jiang Mu, I've seen my wife."

Qian Laixiang stared at Jiang Mu in a daze, two lines of clear tears flowed from her cloudy eyes.

Before leaving, she enshrined her consciousness in the Feilei bracelet with the method Master Huzhai Palace taught her, just to make a bet with herself, just like that guy who is addicted to gambling.

Betting on eternal loneliness, betting that the consciousness of Kumbu Wan will remain in Wuqie, betting that Wuqie will be brought here by future generations.

Fortunately, she is not like that idiot who always loses bets.

Fortunately, she won the bet.

500 years ago, fate asked Kumbu Maru to teach her archery, which made them farewell forever.

Today, 500 years later, maybe fate and conscience discovered it and allowed them to meet again.

……

Jiang Mu opened his eyes, only ten seconds had passed outside.
