Liyue Taoist of the original god

After finishing his appeal, Kamisato Ayaka took Ouyang, Shen He and Beidou off the boat.

Woof woof!

The wild dogs wandering on the pier barked at the four people who had disembarked.

Ouyang ignored it.

Finally disembarked!

Finally!

He couldn't wait to have a big meal, so he held Shen He's hand and walked faster than Ayaka Kamisato who was supposed to lead the way.

Miss Ayaka Kamisato, who has a good education, will not be rude and do not understand her responsibilities.

But when she wanted to catch up, Beidou stopped her with his hand.

"Don't go, let's just follow behind. That's good too."

As the saying goes, if there are three people, there will always be a bachelor.

Beidou, who had been forced to eat dog food many times these days, thought it would be better not to let her disturb him.

Besides, there are four of us now.

The road is only so wide, so it would be too ostentatious for four people to walk abreast.

Beidou thinks the current "distribution" is quite good.

But Kamisato Ayaka, who puts responsibility first in her heart, obviously hasn't realized the meaning of Hokuto's words.

In her view, she represents the society.

Since I am in charge of the reception this time, I naturally have to do a good job.

Moreover, I had agreed to be a "hostage" before, and I shouldn't be like this either due to emotion or reason.

She glanced at Beidou unexpectedly and said in confusion: "I am a guide now, does this seem bad?"

"It's okay, he won't mind this."

After Beidou finished speaking, he saw that Kamisato Ayaka was still puzzled and explained: "Actually, when I came to Inazuma this time, apart from those things, Ouyang also wanted to accompany Shen He to play out."

"If you stepped forward to act as a guide, wouldn't you just disturb the atmosphere between them as a couple?"

Huh?!

Couple?!

Awakened, Kamisato Ayaka turned her head and looked forward.

Ouyang, who had already walked out of the dock, was smiling and talking to Shen He.

The two held hands tightly together.

That intimate look indeed made them look like lovers.

Kamisato Ayaka, who was honored as "Princess White Heron", had a trace of confusion in her eyes.

She never thought that one day she would be regarded as a "superfluous" person.

Ouyang didn't know what the two people walking behind were talking about. He was discussing food with Shen He at the moment.

"The best restaurant in Inazuma is probably Wuyouting, but Wuyouting is in the direction of the main city of Narukami Island. There should be no branches on this outlying island. So we can only find a random restaurant to try the taste first."

"But when Inazuma is not locked down, the outlying islands serve as a transit point for trade from other countries. There should be many interesting objects. We can look around, and you can buy them if you like them."

Ouyang was talking nonstop here, while Shen He was just listening.

Seeing him finish, Shen He asked curiously: "Didn't you say you've never been to Dao Wife before? Why does it seem so familiar?"

Ouyang Wenyan explained: "Qixing's authority can see a lot of things. As long as it's not too secret, you can still read simple information like this."

This is not a quibble. Apart from the game content that can be used as a reference, this information is indeed something that Qixing can read at will.

However, Inazuma has been locked up in the country for five years, and a lot of relevant information has not been updated for many years.

The two of them talked, and after walking up the long steps, they finally arrived at the business district.

The commercial area here is very large, with a large square.

After stepping onto the last step, the first thing that catches the eye is naturally the maple tree in the center of the square.

Because it's too conspicuous.

This maple tree is very tall, but it is not late autumn yet, and the leaves falling in the wind are not bright red yet, which lacks some artistic conception.

The branches of the maple tree were hung with colorful ribbons used by the people to pray for blessings.

Ouyang, who was about to take Shen He to take a look, heard shouts coming from the shop on the left.

"Guest, do you need to come and see the goods of Chu Yu Trading Company? We guarantee that they are all top quality!"

The familiar accent made him stop unconsciously.

Turning around, he saw a woman waving towards him.

Liyue people?

Out of curiosity, Ouyang led Shen He to the door of Chu Yu Trading Company and asked, "Hello, are you from Liyue?"

"Hello, looking at your clothes, you must be from Liyue, right? My name is Qiuyue, and I am also from Liyue!"

The clerk Qiuyue greeted enthusiastically: "It's really rare. I see you are coming from the direction of the pier. Did you accidentally drift here?"

Ouyang replied: "No, we came by boat."

After listening to Ouyang's words, surprise flashed in Qiuyue's eyes: "Really? Since the lockdown, I have always heard that there are ships in Liyue that come to the outlying islands from time to time. Are you the ones on that fleet?"

"That's right."

It is rare to meet people from Liyue in a foreign country. Ouyang doesn't mind chatting: "What does your business sell here?"

Qiuyue looked very enthusiastic: "It's just some ores and jewelry and jades, but since you are coming from Liyue, you naturally don't need the Liyue ores."

At this point, Qiuyue saw that there was no one around, so she got closer and whispered: "Sir, I think you can get in and out of Daoji. I wonder if you can help me bring some goods?"

"Dao Zhi has been locked up in the country for five years. I have no more Liyue ore here, and it is a bit difficult to do business."

"Now I can only collect some ore from Inazuma's country to sell every day. Life is very difficult."

Ouch...you asked Liyue Qixing to smuggle it for you, how brave are you?!

Ouyang just smiled without answering.

Although he doesn't care about the family business, he knows the general situation.

The Daozu lock country here, to put it simply, refers to everyone who is in Daozu, not only the people of Daozu, but also the foreign businessmen stranded in Daozu.

These people will have no problem doing domestic trade in Inazuma.

But if someone wants to leave with the goods, any goods collected by the fleeing person will be considered smuggling.

Merchants who sell goods to fleeing people will naturally be implicated.

The reason why the family is able to do business here is of course using some tricks.

First of all, all trade is by barter, and secondly and most importantly, it is conducted in a manner that avoids customs.

After all, as long as you are not caught, it cannot be called smuggling.

At this moment, Beidou came over from behind and said: "Qiuyue? It seems that your business is good. You have opened the store at the intersection?"

Hehe, it seems that the store owner lied.

Hearing what Beidou said, Ouyang instantly understood that what the store owner just said was basically a lie.

I just don't know for what purpose.

But, he doesn't care about this, it's not like we're doing business with him anyway.

On the other side, Qiuyue's face was unnaturally embarrassed for a moment.

She looked at Beidou and Ouyang, and then said enthusiastically: "It turns out to be Captain Beidou, where is it? I, Chu Yu Trading Company, took a sip of soup under your care."

She originally thought that there was a new fleet using the Inazuma route, and she wanted to expand some purchase channels.

But it turned out to be almost self-defeating.

Qiuyue put a warm smile on her face again, and said diligently: "I haven't seen you for a few months. Where is sister Xue Lian? I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss her very much."

Um?

Ouyang glanced at Qiuyue in confusion, then turned to look at Beidou, the meaning in his eyes was very clear - what's going on?

Upon seeing this, Beidou came to Ouyang, put his head in his ear and whispered in his ear: "This person's name is Qiuyue, the owner of Daozhi branch of Chuyu Trading Company. In recent years, he has basically collected ores from your family and resold them here."

"Xue Lian and I have talked to her and met her several times, so we know her."

After saying that, Beidou pointed at Ouyang and said to Qiuyue: "This is Xue Lian's family. This time I came to Dao Wife to find Xue Lian and go home. Haven't you seen her in the past few months?"

"No." Qiuyue shook her head, "It's strange to say that after Sister Xue Lian came to Daozhi before, she could always be seen coming here every few days, but a few months ago, I started to visit her again.

I haven’t seen her. I thought she went back to Liyue."

"Then has she said before where she wants to go?" This time the questioner was Kamisato Ayaka who followed.

She came to Qiuyue and said politely: "Hello, I am Kamisato Ayaka, the social minister of the Kamisato family. This time I want to help Mr. Ouyang find his family. So please think carefully about that person.

Was there anything unusual about Xue Lian before she disappeared?"

"For example, where do you want to go, or if there are other unknown people looking for her."

Looking at the beautiful young lady in front of her, Qiuyue was excited: "It turns out to be Miss Kamisato! I have always heard rumors about you, but this is the first time I have seen you in person!"

"You don't have to be so polite." Kamisato Ayaka was a little shy, but still tried to get things back on track, "Please answer the question just now, it is very important to us."

"...I'm sorry, I can't be of much help. I really can't remember what happened a few months ago." Qiu Yu shook her head and replied regretfully.

"Forget it, but thank you." Ouyang said, and prepared to leave.

The four of them walked out of the store.

After this incident, Ouyang looked at the square where there were almost no tourists, and his original intention of strolling around was gone.

Kamisato Ayato asked from the side: "Mr. Ouyang, how about we go to the hotel to stay first, and then I can send someone to appraise the envoy to get the pass. In this way, we can also go to the main city of Inazuma as soon as possible, which is also the Tenryo envoy.

location."

Pass?!

Ouyang was suddenly reminded.

He almost forgot that Dao's wife was currently locked up in the country and needed a pass to leave the island.

But forget about the hotel.

He turned around and asked Beidou: "Didn't you say that Xue Lian bought a house here? Go and have a look."

"Okay." Beidou agreed.

She looked around and took the lead in walking ahead.

The four of them walked in a dull manner on a street that was not lively at all.

As Ouyang walked and looked around, he found that Dao's wife, at least on this outlying island, was really lifeless.

Especially after walking through the square just now, there were no tourists at all.

The bosses or salesmen in each store were already yawning idly.

The professional fake smile was no longer on his face, leaving only numbness and calmness.

However, the situation got slightly better after turning a corner.

He discovered that this should be a snack street.

There are many pushcart-style dining carts on both sides of the street.

Although there is almost no hawking, at least there are tourists here.

Although the scattered ones can't compare with Feiyunpo in the night market, they look much more comfortable.

Traveling with crowds of people is very annoying.

But a situation like this with not many tourists is what Ouyang feels most comfortable with.

"Mom, can I buy some bird eggs to bake?"

When passing by, Ouyang heard and saw a young man begging his mother to buy food.

Smelling some aroma, Ouyang continued on his way without stopping.

But as he walked, he realized something was wrong.

He turned to look at Kamisato Ayaka, who had been silent beside him, and asked: "Why are there mothers and children on your Inazuma Street? Are all the men going to work?"

There are not many tourists on the street, but they are all young mothers with two or three children shopping.

Very occasionally, I saw an old man taking care of his children, but I didn't see an adult male.

Even the vendors selling snacks from the food cart are women. This situation is simply unreasonable.

"...This is because the war at Yaoji Island is not over yet, and many adult men in Inazuma have gone there."

Kamisato Ayaka's tone was a little low, and she continued to explain: "And the impact of war is far more than that. Battles always cause casualties, so it is inevitable that children in many families have lost their fathers, and even both parents.

Lost."

"The Inazuma Shogunate can only take in a limited number of children. Fortunately, many mothers will adopt one or two out of sympathy."

Damn, there is not a single man in the society. If it weren’t for the presence of God, I would feel like I’m falling apart every minute.

Ouyang stopped talking, mainly because he didn't know what to say.

I followed Beidou and soon passed this snack street.

After another turn, I walked down the stairs and looked around. I saw a small village here.

Judging from the fishing nets hanging out in the yards of every household, it seems they are all engaged in the fishing industry.

Along the way, Ouyang felt that there were really few people.

Except for a few children playing, there were no other people in the village.

Not many families even have smoke rising from their chimneys.

I thought Xue Lian would buy the house here, but Beidou did not stop, but walked away from the village and walked to the other side.

Passing through a small path surrounded by several earth slopes, there is a courtyard located near the sea.

Typical Inazuma style, but it seems that weeds have grown back in the yard because no one has taken care of it.

Beidou turned around, pointed to the yard and said, "This is it."

"Why did she think of buying it here in the first place?" Ouyang asked strangely.

This place is far away from the crowd. Didn't she, a weak woman, buy it here to find opportunities for caring people?

Seeing Ouyang asking, Beidou was also a little helpless: "I persuaded her at first, but she must buy it here. She said it can be cleaner, and she doesn't want me to send people to follow her. There is nothing I can do."

Well...

Hearing Beidou say this, Ouyang suddenly understood.

I'm afraid it's not convenient to meet anyone, right?

He naturally thought of the warrior who had died in the royal duel.

Just like this, Ouyang suddenly became interested in Wanye's friend.

Obviously, this person seems to be a bit intolerant of others, right?

Thinking that there was nothing he could do, Ouyang opened the courtyard door and walked in.

On the right hand side of the door is the kitchen, and on the left is the utility room. The room facing the courtyard door is used for living.

His spiritual consciousness swept over it, and all the details of the entire courtyard were clearly visible.

It is indeed an ordinary yard that has been uninhabited for a long time.

Squeak——

Open the door to your home.

Dust is floating in the air, and a thick layer has accumulated on the tables and chairs in the living room.

Seeing this, Ouyang waved his hand and summoned a ray of light.

The light enveloped the entire courtyard and quickly disappeared.

Also disappearing at the same time are the weeds in the yard and the dust in the house.

The whole yard has a new look.

At the same time, on the other side of the island.

At the appointment meeting, Shinsuke Hiiragi opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him and asked: "Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true. My subordinates saw with their own eyes that Thomas, the housekeeper of the Society, escorted more than a dozen prisoners to the Society's stronghold on an outlying island."

"Have you seen how many people were escorted?"

"Eleven!"

Did one die in the conflict?

Shinsuke Hiiragi waved his subordinates to retreat.

After the room became quiet again, he squinted in thought and calculated the gains and losses.

The intervention of the society is not an accident.

Nowadays, the three major sects, the self-assessment sect and the Tianling sect, have joined forces and have almost squeezed the society sect out of the center of power.

Now that there was such an opportunity, he didn't think the social leaders would not intervene.

But in this case, the losses on my side will be a bit big...

Shinsuke Hiiragi's face twitched, obviously feeling real pain.

He opened his eyes again and looked out the window, his eyes firm again.

No!

For the family!

Any sacrifice is worth it!
