Under Chu Xiaotian's gaze, a vague shadow gradually became clear in the shrine. It seemed to be a kind of beast, and it was crawling there.
The picture gradually becomes clearer.
It turned out to be a nine-tailed fox covered in snow, with a beautiful crimson color in the snow-white hair. It closed its eyes and slept there quietly.
There really is...
Chu Xiaotian blinked.
Ji Yeling was also startled after seeing Chu Xiaotian's golden eyes, and quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
The golden color in Chu Xiaotian's eyes disappeared. He did not answer Ji Yeling's words, but turned his head to look at Inagaki Shinoa.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
Inagaki Shinoa and Himeno Suzu looked at each other, both very confused.
Back to the yard.
Ji Yeling couldn't help but asked: "What's going on?"
Chu Xiaotian said: "There is a fox in that shrine."
"ha?"
Ji Yeling looked at the boy blankly.
Even Inagaki Shinoa was stunned, but she was much calmer. She asked: "Mr. Chu, did you say there is a fox in my shrine?"
"Yes."
Chu Xiaotian nodded.
Ji Yeling came back to her senses, and she quickly asked: "Then why can't I see it?"
In response, Chu Xiaotian said: "Even your eldest sister can't see it."
This sentence left Ji Yeling speechless. After all, she was not up to the level of her eldest sister, and on this occasion, she had no reason not to believe what Chu Xiaotian said.
If it were the former Chu Xiaotian, he would not be able to detect the beast in the shrine. In his opinion, the nine-tailed fox should be similar to the bull beast. In this case, he should not be able to see it before
of.
At least he had to be in the same state he was in during the first battle with the Fujino family, and after staying at the Himeno family for a few days, his state was already better than when he was in Kyushu.
In this state, he could just barely see.
However, it is not so much that the level of the nine-tailed fox is too high. For example, it is because he is not in the same realm as the one where the nine-tailed fox is sleeping, and now he can already see that realm.
Chu Xiaotian asked: "Do you have any clues?"
Inagaki Shinoa fell into deep thought. After a moment, she seemed to think of something. She said, "I only heard my father mention it, but I don't know much about it."
"Tell me."
Inagaki Shinoma said: "The god enshrined in our shrine is an earth god, whose surname is unknown, but for hundreds of years our Inagaki family has only worshiped this god."
Chu Xiaotian and Ji Yeling were both waiting for the next step.
"If the fox Chu Jun mentioned really exists, maybe..."
Here is what Inagaki Shinomaa said.
And Chu Xiaotian said: "That fox may be the earth god you worship."
"It's possible."
Inagaki Shinoa's mood was a little strange at the moment. This matter was very unbelievable, but if the earth god really existed, it should be a good thing.
"I'll go there again later."
Because there are too many people now, it would be difficult to deal with any accidents.
After all, the fox is a god worshiped by the Inagaki family, and may be able to communicate. He is also very interested in the existence of this beast, so he wants to negotiate.
As for the bull beast in Arakawa...
I don’t know what the temperament of that beast is. If I disturb it at will, something might happen. After all, it is a lonely cow, and its temper may not be very good.
The foxes here have been living with humans for hundreds of years, so there must be no problems.
Chu Xiaotian looked at Ji Yeling and asked, "What time will roll call be tonight?"
Ji Yeling thought for a while and said: "Ten o'clock."
It's only after six o'clock now.
The shrine will not be closed, but by nine o'clock there will probably not be many people there.
So, Chu Xiaotian and Ji Yeling were waiting here for the arrival of nine o'clock.
Ding.
There is information sent over.
【Did you sneak out to play?】
It turned out to be a message from Yoko.
Chu Xiaotian typed a reply: [I came out with Ishida and the others]
【Ishida and the others are back!】
Seeing this message, Chu Xiaotian's face froze, and then he replied bravely: [Well, we were scattered by a lot of people before and got lost!]
【Then are you and Himeno together? 】
【yes】
[Ha, it’s true, I sneak around to play with other girls every time!]
Seeing this sentence, Chu Xiaotian was speechless. He turned his head and glanced at Ji Yeling who was playing with his mobile phone, and didn't know how to reply.
But at this moment, Yoko sent another message.
【Come back quickly! We are gathering to play games!】
【what game?】
【Truth or Dare or Game of Kings!】
Chu Xiaotian was silent for a while, and then replied: [If I have time to go back]
【Then you have to hurry up!】
【Um】
So the conversation ended.
This shrine does not have as strong spiritual power as the Himeno family, so according to Chu Xiaotian's judgment, this is only a small part of the Inagaki family, and the real Inagaki family should still be behind this courtyard.
This shrine has been closely connected with the Inagaki family for five hundred years, and the reason why the Inagaki family can become a ghost-slaying family may be in this shrine.
Maybe it's because of the fox.
If the source lies in the fox, then did he miss anything else when he was at the Himeno family? There is no shrine there, but there may not be strange beasts like foxes and bull beasts.
Chu Xiaotian always felt that he was about to understand the origin of the ghost slayer.
Because of that curiosity, he stayed here and decided to find out.
There are not many interesting things that can make him so motivated.
So, it soon arrived at nine o'clock.
Originally, there were people there even at this time, but Inagaki Shinoa also took some actions out of curiosity and guided people to the foot of the mountain in a very gentle way.
So now, they are the only ones in Inagaki Shrine.
"Chu Jun."
"Um."
The three of them arrived in front of the shrine again.
Chu Xiaotian did not intend to let the two of them see the fox. It would be effortless to see it by himself, but if he wanted to lend his power to others, the transition of spiritual power would be very labor-intensive.
Buzz.
Chu Xiaotian's golden eyes became stronger this time. He stared into the shrine, staring at the red nine-tailed fox in the snow.
At this time, the nine-tailed fox slowly opened his eyes. They were a pair of brown-yellow eyes that were as flawless and beautiful as gems. At the same time, the glow oozing out of them had an inexplicable sense of pressure.
"Humanity...?"
Chu Xiaotian also said at this time: "Hello, I have something a little bit I want to talk to you about."
The two girls on the side were also very surprised when they heard the young man speak.
Is this the right conversation?
But they couldn't see anything.
The nine-tailed fox lay there quietly looking at the human boy. One fox and the other looked at each other for a long time. In the end, it did not open its mouth, but a sound came out.
"You are disturbing us."
There was dissatisfaction in that voice.
And just when Chu Xiaotian was about to apologize, a ray of light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and his pupils widened.
