After exiting the south gate, Zhao Hanyun and his group saw stone niches for memorial tablets, located on three sides of the gate, especially at the entrance, where there was a row of them.
Overlord took the lead, followed by Yuan Jingyi. The man and the tiger rushed straight towards the stone niche facing south and north, with the direct target being the position in the middle.
Zhao Hanyun saw that the tablet in the middle was inscribed with the names of the gods of the Five Mountains, Five Towns, Five Lingshan Mountains, Four Seas, and Four Rivers, and on both sides were the names of the gods of mountains and rivers. Yuan Jingyi and Overlord's target was the stone niche of Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak, among the Five Mountains.
Under Zhao Hanyun's gaze, the man and the tiger rushed to the stone niche and stared at each other, determined to fight if the other dared to move. The tension between the two quickly dissipated, and Yuan Jingyi slapped the Overlord on the head and said viciously, "Stupid tiger, we're outside now, be careful or I'll cut you!"
The Overlord was about to cry when he turned around to look at the little round ball Zhao Hanyun who was watching the show nearby, then glanced at Yuan Jingyi who was about to hit him. He retracted his claws, thinking that he really couldn't beat this girl! Humph, a good tiger doesn't fight a bad girl. This time you got the advantage! The Overlord shook his head and walked over to Zhao Hanyun, looking at her with a greedy face. It was obvious that he wanted food.
Zhao Hanyun took out a small gourd from his pocket and motioned for Ba Wang to sit down: "Come, open your mouth." He poured the contents of the gourd into Ba Wang's wide-open mouth and closed it.
"Aunt, how's the search going?" While Zhao Hanyun was serving the greedy tiger Ba Wang, Yuan Jingyi was groping in front of the stone niche. She didn't know what was going on. Zhao Hanyun looked very anxious.
Yuan Jingyi didn't turn around, just quietly groping there, and didn't answer Zhao Hanyun's question. She waved one hand behind her, indicating that Zhao Hanyun should pay attention to his surroundings and not let others see him. Although this matter could be solved by Old Man Yuan's words if he was caught, it would still be embarrassing. Wait, there seems to be something! Yuan Jingyi felt something in her hand, a cold metal object, quite large. She tried to pull it with her hand, but it was stuck tightly.
"Girl, if there is no one here, why don't you come and help!" Yuan Jingyi was sweating all over, but still couldn't take the thing out, so she hurriedly called Zhao Hanyun for help.
Zhao Hanyun looked around and made sure that no one was around. He then told Xiao Yuanqiu and Ba Wang to remind them immediately if anyone was around. Then he walked to Yuan Jingyi and reached in.
"Did you find it?" Yuan Jingyi pulled with one hand and saw that Zhao Hanyun had been groping around her for a long time without any movement, so she asked anxiously.
"Aunt, try to take this thing out in the opposite direction. Be sure to be gentle!" Zhao Hanyun groped along the direction of the thing and found that Yuan Jingyi pulled it in the wrong direction, so it was stuck there.
"Oh!" Yuan Jingyi obeyed obediently and did not recommend her apprentice to criticize her there. She thought that she would get back at him one day anyway, so there was no rush!
As Yuan Jingyi's fingers twitched, a rectangular box was slowly pulled out. The slender box was made of an unknown metal and was engraved with some strange patterns. As Yuan Jingyi pulled it out, it emitted a faint glow in the morning light.
"Let's go quickly and go back to check." Not long after Yuan Jingyi got the things, she heard footsteps coming. She glanced at the things in her hand, then looked at the door that was farther away, and handed the things to Zhao Hanyun. The little round ball squatting next to her said: "Put it away for me."
Just as Xiao Yuanqiu hid the things, a few young people came in from outside, talking and laughing, with backpacks on their backs. They were a little surprised to see Zhao Hanyun and the others standing there: "It turns out we are not the first ones, there are people who arrived earlier than us!"
The first person to speak was a young girl. Just as she was about to say something, she was stopped by a young man behind her. Under Zhao Hanyun's gaze, the young man came to Yuan Jingyi respectfully and said, "Hello, Aunt Jing!"
The word "Auntie Jing" shocked Zhao Hanyun. Yuan Jingyi was called "Auntie" by Zhao Hanyun because she became his master. Zou Li was of the same generation as Yuan Jingyi. He had hardly seen Yuan Jingyi interact with others in the two days since he came to Kyoto. So, seeing someone who was not much younger than Yuan Jingyi calling her "Auntie", he was quite surprised!
"It's the kid from the Zhang family!" Yuan Jingyi said calmly: "I just got up early and went out for a walk. Your friend is really..." The last few words "nosy" were not uttered, but Yuan Jingyi's expression said it all.
The young man in front of her said somewhat awkwardly, "Aunt Jing, Xiaojie didn't mean it. She was just curious."
"Your friend has nothing to do with me. It's just that this is Kyoto, so you should think before you speak. Today is my turn, and who knows who you'll meet next time!" Yuan Jingyi said as she left the door with Zhao Hanyun, ignoring the group. As they walked away, she added, "Ba Wang, why don't you leave? There are no beauties to see."
