Chapter 11: Daughter of the Tengu

Asase Hibiki followed his gaze, and it was a large area of simple wooden buildings, and a branch shrine was located on the mountainside.

The water vapor behind was filled, and a small waterfall flowing in the depths of the forest could be vaguely seen.

"This is?"

The little shrine maiden looked around uneasily, even though she knew in her heart that the Mount Aocang area should be very safe, she still couldn't stop thinking wildly.

Hearing Luo Li touched her little head soothingly and replied: "Tengu station of Mount Aocang."

It's interesting to say that the future great shrine maiden who dared to solve the Seirai Island barrier alone to fight against the Shogunate is now so timid.

He took the initiative to hold Asase Hibiki's slender little hand and stepped into the outer periphery of the Tengu station.

Asase Hibiki looked around curiously, so this is the mysterious Tengu clan station!

The mountain road leading to the interior of the station is engraved with many spells and barriers, all to prevent lost people from breaking in, used for expulsion.

However, the moment the two stepped into the station, a dark stream of light suddenly flashed across the sky.

The next moment, a figure appeared directly in front of the two.

"Tengu station, idlers retreat!"

The cold female voice was like a spirit bird chirping, with the cold expulsion of the reclusive person towards the two.

Asase Hibiki tightened her grip on Hearing Hearing Luo Li hand, hiding behind him and curiously sizing up the visitor.

That was a beautiful girl with pitch-black wings on her back, wearing a red-nosed and red-faced Tengu mask on the side of her head, holding a sword and a bow, stepping on high-heeled wooden clogs, with a cold and arrogant expression.

But the next moment, the expression on that face melted like ice and snow, becoming vivid and bright.

Asase Hibiki's eyes blurred, and she saw the Tengu girl flapping her wings, coming to Hearing Luo Li in the blink of an eye, her eyes mixed with unconcealable surprise.

"Teacher?!"

Hearing Luo Li smiled slightly, examining the girl who was standing tall and graceful: "Long time no see, little Mitsuyo."

"It's really Teacher! Teacher, you haven't been here for a long time, why did you suddenly think of visiting today?"

The Tengu girl, who was cold and arrogant in front of outsiders, now showed a completely different diligence and closeness.

Since she was a child, she worshipped Hearing Luo Li as her teacher, learning archery, swordsmanship, and many spells. Over the years, she worshipped and loved this teacher who was perfect in every way.

"Entrusted by Saiguu to look after the shrine, thinking that since I'm here, I'll visit the Great Tengu and see how my cute disciple is doing now."

"Is it just by the way?" Mitsuyo was a little disappointed.

Since she grew up and parted from her teacher, she had been looking forward to the moment of meeting again, but the teacher seemed to have forgotten herself.

If it weren't for the Tengu clan choosing to live in seclusion, she would have been unable to help but take the initiative to go to Inazuma City.

Scraping the girl's upturned exquisite nose, Hearing Luo Li laughed: "Just kidding, don't tell me you're sulking?"

"Not at all."

She was too happy to be happy, Mitsuyo quickly threw away the little grievance, took the initiative to hold Hearing Hearing Luo Li arm and headed to the Tengu station.

"Go up quickly, Mother will be very happy to know that Teacher is here!"

The cold goddess posture collapsed instantly, and Mitsuyo was no longer as awe-inspiring as when she expelled idlers before.

So Asase Hibiki followed into the mysterious Tengu clan in a daze.

However, after entering the station, Hearing Luo Li couldn't help but frown slightly.

Looking at the place, there were empty houses everywhere, and only occasionally could he see sparse clansmen.

Seeing Mitsuyo holding a handsome young man in blue-black finery, everyone was stunned.

"Didn't expect that even the Tengu clan bloodline has begun to thin out." Hearing Luo Li whispered secretly.

In fact, not only Tengu, but also Oni, Bake-danuki, and the Hakushin clan have gradually declined.

At the beginning, monsters were numerous, and the grand occasion of dominating the world was gone.

At most, only on moonless nights, when the hundred ghosts walk at night, can they miss the past.

Finally, the three entered the branch shrine and walked towards the place where the Great Tengu lived in the deepest part.

Soon they reached their destination.

Unexpectedly, outside the place where the Great Tengu lived, a human boy was kneeling here, and even if he saw someone coming, he didn't ask, like a statue facing the branch shrine.

Hearing Luo Li glanced at it casually, and before entering the branch shrine alone, he handed Asase Hibiki to Mitsuyo.

"Teacher, you must remember to leave time to accompany me later!"

"Okay."

Watching the teacher wave and walk into the branch shrine where Mother lived, Mitsuyo then looked at the little shrine maiden who was four or five years younger than herself in terms of appearance.

"What is your name?"

Because the person who gave her a sense of security left, Asase Hibiki, who was in the monster's nest, was a little scared, and said stammeringly: "Just call me Hibiki."

"Hibiki?" Mitsuyo tilted her head and showed a friendly smile: "Go, I'll take you to a good place. As a reward, tell me about Teacher during this time, how about it?"

"Ah? Eh?"

Before she could react, Asase Hibiki was pulled away.

It's over, today is the first time meeting, she doesn't know anything about Lord Hearing Hearing Luo Li deeds at all, how should she muddle through later?

On the other side, stepping into the branch shrine, the Great Tengu—Reizenbou, who led the Tengu clan in this generation, appeared in front of Hearing Luo Li.

Seemingly knowing that a distinguished guest was visiting, a pot of steaming clear tea was placed on the table in front of her.

"The time is just right, it seems that the ability of spiritual vision is still there, but I don't know if my tea art has declined after not brewing it for so many years."

The Great Tengu smiled, retracted her pitch-black wings, and took the initiative to pour tea for him.

There were only a handful of people in all of Inazuma who were qualified to have her personally welcome them.

And Hearing Luo Li came to sit opposite her quite casually and asked directly: "A bit familiar, who is the boy outside?"

"Just a mortal who came to study."

He understood this.

Since the Archon War, some humans have received the favor of gods and obtained Visions, and can use extraordinary powers.

But these lucky ones are as rare as phoenix feathers when magnified to the entire group, so people who long for cultivation have to put their ideas on other paths.

If it is a person from Inazuma, they will seek learning from the Tengu of Mount Aocang.

If it is Liyue, they will devoutly rush to Jueyun Karst, hoping to find a wisp of ethereal immortal fate.

Although the probability of success is very small, these people are still endless. After all, Visions are really uncontrollable, and only cultivation can rely on perseverance and effort to do it.

The Great Tengu sighed: "Kneeling for three days, looking at him, he won't leave without reaching his goal."

"Perseverance, what's his name?"

Being able to have such perseverance, even Hearing Luo Li became interested.

"Mikoshi Nagamasa."

"..."

Good guy, this is really a coincidence.

No wonder he looked a bit familiar, it turned out to be the teenage version of Nagamasa.

Asase Hibiki, Mikoshi Nagamasa, it seems that the three actors of Mount Aocang are gathered together, just missing one. ===== CHAPTER 13 =====
