There was nothing special worth taking, so after changing into a set of mountaineering clothes and taking a few military daggers, Li Jing was ready to go to Mount Fuji and wait there in advance.
"Luckily, Neon is not that big, so I can get back in half a day. If I were in the country, it would be very embarrassing to waste time."
Li Jing muttered to himself, packed up everything, and left quietly through the window.
Mount Fuji is about 80 kilometers east of Sakura City. With this distance, Li Jing can still reach Mount Fuji overnight with his own ability, but it will consume a lot of energy.
Although it is more convenient to take a car, Li Jing still thinks it is better to hide in order to conceal his identity and prevent the Japanese forces from discovering his identity in the future.
After a night of arduous journey, they finally arrived at the foot of Mount Fuji. Surrounded by mist and in silence, Li Jing came to this active volcano covered with snow all year round.
Li Jing originally thought that there should be a dense forest on Mount Fuji, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
But it doesn't matter.
Li Jing looked at the time and found that there were only fourteen hours left before the spiritual energy would revive!
Fourteen hours later, I will seize the Emperor Berry and become a trend-setter in the first year of the revival of spiritual energy!
Avoiding the ticket office, Li Jing went up the mountain from the area that was not open to tourists, avoiding the heavy crowds, and looked from afar at the shrine located between the cherry trees and snow-capped mountains.
Of course, Li Jing definitely didn't do this to get the tickets for free; everything he did was to cover up his tracks.
"Sengen Shrine."
Li Jing murmured. He was very familiar with this shrine that overlooked the entire Mount Fuji.
The original owner of the Imperial Berry was a priest of the Sengen Shrine, so the Sengen Shrine is Li Jing's competitor.
"I don't know where the imperial berries appear, I can only keep an eye on the Sengen Shrine, and I can always find the imperial berries."
Li Jing said to himself: "First, I have to sneak into the Sengen Shrine, follow the priest, and use his "protagonist" aura to gain benefits."
"The image cannot be related to my current image. I just happened to borrow the Onmyoji from Onmyoji before, so it doesn't matter if I borrow it again."
"A Yin Yang Master from the Great Yin Yang Ryo came to the Sengen Shrine... Tsk, wait, why do I look like a villain?"
At this point, Li Jing's thoughts came to an abrupt end. Next, he had to make some preparations.
......
"Sorry, this is a non-tourist area, please leave."
Inside the Sengen Shrine, a shrine maiden with her long hair tied up with white sandalwood paper, wearing a white robe, an undergarment, and red hakama, as well as white tabi and red-studded straw sandals, looked at the handsome Onmyoji in front of her and spoke.
The handsome Yin-Yang master in the large hunting robe looked at the witch in front of him, smiled and said, "Little girl, don't rush to send people away. Maybe there is something else?"
The white-robed shrine maiden's eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something, and she immediately said in a cold voice, "Are you here to challenge another shrine?"
No, are all your shrines so wild now?
The Yin Yang Master was obviously stunned for a moment, then he said, "I am Kyogoku Qiong, a disciple of Tsuchimikado Shinto. I came here this time because I want to see the old priest for something else."
"Kyogoku Qiong, Tsuchimikado?"
The white-robed shrine maiden murmured, her small eyes filled with great doubts: "I thought Tsuchimikado Shinto was all legends and ghost stories."
The Onmyoji named Kyogoku Qiong took a deep breath and waved his hand. Immediately, a cool and refreshing air lingered around the white-robed priestess. Ice crystal butterflies danced in the wind, and beams of fantastic and gorgeous ice-blue light bloomed.
“This…this is…”
The witch in white was extremely shocked by the scene before her. Her mouth opened slightly, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak: "You...you are..."
"Shhh."
Kyogoku Qiong smiled slightly, and then said: "Can you take me to see the priest who is in charge of this place now?"
"Of course, this way please!"
As the shrine maiden's voice rang out, Kyogoku Qion followed the shrine maiden into the depths of the Sengen Shrine.
The deity enshrined at Sengen Shrine is Konohana no Sakuyahime, also known as Konohana Sakuyahime, the goddess of cherry blossoms, who appears in front of people as a charming beauty.
But now Kyogoku Qiong is in an upright position and is not afraid of any attacks from the God of Cherry Blossoms.
In other words, it is even a question whether this God of Cherry Blossoms exists.
After passing through the Yongyu Pond, the white-robed shrine maiden brought Kyogoku Qiong to the final destination. The white-robed shrine maiden said, "Master Kyogoku Qiong, please wait for a moment. Although you are a distinguished guest from Tsuchimikado Shinto, you still need to inform us before you come here rashly."
"Of course, please let the witch know."
Kyogoku Qiong conjured up a Yin-Yang fan from somewhere, and gently fiddled with it, watching the white-robed priestess leave with a smile.
Kyogoku Qion was very confident. He was sure that the old priest of Sengen Shrine would definitely meet him.
As expected, before long, the white-robed shrine maiden hurriedly opened the shoji door and walked out of the house, apologizing to Kyogoku Qiong:
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Your Excellency the Priest, please come in and discuss this in detail."
"Miss Miko is still too polite."
Kyogoku Qion tried his best to put on a friendly look, and after he finished speaking, he followed the white-robed shrine maiden into the main building of the Sengen Shrine.
After pushing open the shoji door, what came into Kyogoku Qiong's eyes was a wooden house full of ancient charm, with strange yet familiar patterns carved on the left and right, and a unique neon style.
Sitting on the cushion in the main seat was an old priest who looked very old.
The old priest combed his hair very carefully, without a trace of disorder, and the silver-like white hairs were clearly visible among the black hair.
In the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark brown eyes seemed to be quietly telling the vicissitudes of life, but the spirited meaning in them made people dare not underestimate it.
Seeing that the old priest in charge of the Asama Shrine did not speak, Kyogoku Qiong took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Asama, I believe that this miko has already explained my origins. This time, I came here for some more important matters."
"A matter concerning the critical survival of the Sengen Shrine."
"Please go ahead."
The old priest sat upright, looking dignified without getting angry: "Master Kyogoku is a disciple of Tsuchimikado Shinto, so he must know some unknown secrets."
"There is a terrible evil demon sealed at the bottom of Mount Fuji. The seal has loosened a little recently, and the evil spirit is leaking out. It may transform into something and scatter in the corners of Mount Fuji."
"This thing could be a fruit, or it could be an artifact... If you find something similar, please do not touch it. Please be sure to inform me. I will do my best to re-seal it!"
