Chapter 223 Xiao Yae

At night, the moon and stars are rare.

"Brother Shiyuan, can we really achieve immortality by eating Tang Sanzang's flesh?" A childish voice sounded in Lu Shiyuan's ears.

A chubby little girl with pink hair rested her arms on Lu Shiyuan's shoulders, resting her little head on her arms, and asked curiously.

"Who knows? After all, no one has ever eaten Tang Sanzang's flesh. But it should be fake. Maybe it's a rumor spread by a goblin." Lu Shiyuan sat on a bench in the shrine and said with a smile, "Besides, do you think human flesh is really delicious?"

"It's not delicious! It definitely isn't delicious!" The little girl just thought about it for a moment and shook her head repeatedly.

"So, follow your sister Saigong, practice well and strive to reach the "Mingjie" as soon as possible, and you can achieve immortality. Don't think about those crooked ways." Lu Shiyuan took this opportunity to bring up some great principles and correct Xiao Yazhong's three views.

"Yes! I will practice hard!" Yaye nodded seriously and took Lu Shiyuan's warning deeply into his heart.

A week has passed since Yae Shinko came to Mingjin Taisha. During this week, Lu Shiyuan spent his time training in martial arts and playing with little Yae Shinko.

This child was not at the Naruto-Ohana Shrine for the first time, but it was her first time seeing Lu Shiyuan. She was shy and at first she walked around the wall when she saw Lu Shiyuan.

Lu Shiyuan felt that this would not work. He was very interested in this future palace chief, so he used fish tofu to lure her. Sure enough, after just a little trick, the young and naive Yae Shinto took the bait and was willing to talk to him.

Before long, the two became good friends. During this time, Lu Shiyuan discovered that Yae Shinko loved listening to stories, so he told her his favorite modified version of Journey to the West.

So, little Yae Shinko would pester him every day whenever he had free time.

After Hu Zhaigong discovered this, he quickly reminded Lu Shiyuan not to teach the Son of God bad things.

Although the latter felt that the little girl might learn bad things if she stayed with Kitsai Palace, he was tactful enough not to say this out loud.

Therefore, in order to prove that he was not a bad person, he would instill some great truths into the little Yae Shen Zi from time to time, and it has been very effective so far.

However, this girl, Yae Shinko, is still quite cunning by nature, and it will take time to change. For example...

"Brother Shi Yuan, practicing in the "Zhengjie" is so hard. There are so many rules and regulations to abide by. Lord Saigong is merciless. I have become thinner due to hunger these days." The little girl touched her belly and said pitifully.

Although she didn't ask for food explicitly, her coquettish tone still made Lu Shiyuan feel sympathetic.

While playing with Yae Shinko, Lu Shiyuan also heard her talk a lot about the practice of the shrine maidens.

There are four levels of practice for a shrine maiden, from low to high: "straight", "righteous", "bright" and "pure".

Even though Xiao Yaye is only at the second level, her talent is already very impressive for her to be able to reach this level at her age.

Most shrine maidens would spend many years at the first level. Even at Narukami Taisha, there were only a handful of great shrine maidens who reached the "full level". Even Asase Hibiki had only just touched the threshold of the "full level".

After all, "full rank" means "acting as a priest", which is an extraordinary position. The talent of the Eightfold God Child can be imagined.

As for the "Mingjie", there are even fewer shrine maidens who can reach this level. None of the shrine maidens of this generation have reached this level, except for Yae Kamiko. Asase Hibiki is the most promising one of this generation.

"Jingjie" is actually an honorary title that only the chief priest of Narujin Taisha Shrine has. It is the exclusive title of the contemporary chief priest Kitsunasaigumi.

If Kitsusai-gu resigns, the next chief priest will need to be selected from the most virtuous priestess at present. In time, Yae-sama will surely become a strong contender for the next chief priest. And the facts five hundred years later also proved this point.

"So, if I feed Xiao Yaye, who is a pure level seed, will it ruin her practice? Wouldn't it be equivalent to harming her?" Lu Shiyuan changed his mind and didn't dare to feed her anything carelessly.

He thought for a moment and said, "Son of God, please stay here and don't move. I will be back soon."

Yae Shenzi blinked, thinking that Lu Shiyuan was going to get him something delicious, and nodded repeatedly: "Brother Shiyuan, please come back soon!"

Lu Shiyuan carried the little girl to the bench, then stood up and left.

He wandered around the shrine and found Kitsune Saigū who was directing the priestesses to prepare a banquet. He stopped her and asked, "Saigū, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Hu Zhaigong asked curiously, with one hand on his slender waist and the other twirling his pipe. His silver fox ears trembled slightly.

"That's right, Yae Shenzi doesn't have enough food to eat, and she's begging me for help out of hunger. Can I give her something to eat?" Lu Shiyuan asked in a low voice, "If it affects her practice, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"That's it." Hu Zhaigong nodded in understanding and chuckled, "I guessed that she would not be able to hold back these few days, and it turned out to be true."

"Do you know?" Lu Shiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a guess emerged in his mind.

"Because, I went through the same thing." Hu Zhaigong frankly expressed what Lu Shiyuan was thinking.

She said mysteriously: "Shi Yuan, I will tell you a secret that only I, a Pure Level, know."

"Why are we suddenly talking about secrets?" Lu Shiyuan was very surprised, but still listened carefully.

"The so-called practice of a miko is actually a very idealistic thing. For example, at the regular level, little Yae wants to eat more, right? Let her eat without worry.

However, after eating, she must use self-hypnosis to convince herself that she has not eaten anything, so that it will not affect her practice.

But remember, don’t eat too much, because if you are too full, it will be difficult to hypnotize yourself.”

Lu Shiyuan was stunned after hearing this. Although spiritual practice is idealistic, it doesn’t have to be this idealistic!
He couldn't help but ask: "Why does "Jingjie" know this kind of thing?"

"Hehe, of course, the "Pure Stage" doesn't need to know this." Husaigong laughed, "This is the truth I summed up during my hard practice. You have to teach it to Xiao Yazhong. Don't tell her that I said this. I still have to maintain my dignity as a teacher."

"You." Lu Shiyuan shook his head helplessly, "You always use your cleverness on trivial things."

"But it's interesting, isn't it?" asked Kitsaigong.

"Oh, yes, yes." Lu Shiyuan nodded perfunctorily. When he was about to leave to feed the Eightfold Divine Child, he was stopped by Kitsaigong again.

"Wait, don't rush to feed her." The fox-eared girl pointed her pipe at the open-air banquet that was about to be set up, and said happily, "Tonight is destined to be a moonless night, when a hundred demons are parading at night. You are my friend, and the Son of God is also a demon. Why don't we have a drink and chat tonight?"

"I think it's only a matter of time before little Yae learns bad things by following you!" Lu Shiyuan finally spoke the truth!
