Although Lu Sheng had already felt that this Yae Goddess was a little strange, he thought that the strangeness was just abnormal behavior, not that she was a completely different person. After all, from the outside, there was nothing wrong with her.
The problem that Linghua thinks is that this Eightfold Son of God is simply a fake.
This is also the key reason why Linghua decided to assassinate Yae Shinto.
After this close contact, Linghua was 90% sure that the Yae Goddess of Narukami Taisha was a fake.
As the shrine's magistrate, Kamisato is in charge of the Inazuma festival activities and ceremonial entertainments, and often has to deal with the Narukami Taisha Shrine. Therefore, he has many opportunities to meet Yae Kamiko and has some understanding of her.
"In fact, I started to suspect it a long time ago. Ever since Yae Kamiko went to see Suzuka Gozen, everything has changed. Although her appearance has not changed, many things are different from the previous Yae."
"A person's personality may change, but behavior is difficult to change, especially when it comes to diet."
"You may not know that our chief priest is a foodie and particularly loves juicy fried tofu. However, fried tofu has never appeared on the menu of the Yae Goddess in the shrine."
"Also, Inazuma used to have a publishing house called Yaedo, which was a place that specialized in selling and publishing light novels. The reason why it was called Yaedo was because Yaedo loved to read light novels. In order to be able to read different novels every day, she founded Yaedo and took on the position of editor-in-chief. This love is not something that ordinary people can understand."
"But the one now, let alone the light novel, hasn't even read the book. Just imagine that after a person's personality changes, will even the hobbies and food that he once loved the most change?"
Kamisato Ayaka provided a series of evidence, all of which were quite shocking.
Lu Sheng didn't know all this when he first arrived, but he was very clear about Yae Shinko's preferences. The charm of this fox was unquestionable. Even though it was not very strong, he immediately took it home and filled it with resources when it first appeared.
Because of this understanding, he knew how obsessed Yae Kamiko was with fried tofu and how much she loved reading light novels with melodramatic plots.
What Linghua said is absolutely right. A person's character may change because of the surrounding environment, but what is engraved in their bones can never be changed.
If these are all true, then it can be 100% certain that the Yae Miko in the shrine today is a fake.
But who is the imposter? Why did she do this? Where is the real Yae God? Who has the Heart of God now?
Lu Sheng suddenly realized what Linghua meant by saying this to him.
Looking for a tool person?
"You want me to help you check?"
Seeing that her little thoughts were exposed, Linghua lowered her head in embarrassment and uttered "hmm" in a very low voice.
"We are all wanted criminals. As for Zaoyou, fighting is not her strong point, so..."
"Okay, I'll go check it out." Lu Sheng agreed readily, but he never works for nothing. When helping others, there must be give and take, and this is his principle.
"But I also need you to help me check something."
Linghua looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I want to know the whereabouts of Inazuma's Faintheads."
"The Fatui? Why are you asking about them?"
The last time Linghua heard news about the Fatui was when Zaoyou brought it back. She said that a female Fatui had sneaked onto the island and was caught. It seemed that she was an important person, an executive.
At the beginning, there was an executive officer named Sanbing, who was directly captured by the three generals under the Kanpaku.
But as far as she knew, the Kanpaku did not kill them, for unknown reasons.
Why did Tie Niu inquire about the information of the Fatui? Could he also be a Fatui?
It doesn't look like it at all.
After some hesitation, Linghua agreed to Lu Sheng's conditions.
"Okay, I'll let Zaoyou investigate. I hope we can both get the information we want."
Lu Sheng nodded and left with satisfaction.
If you want to get the real answer, you have to start with the people closest to Yae Shinko.
There are so many shrine maidens in the shrine, it's impossible that all of them are impersonators.
Whether it is true or false, you will know it by asking.
The first person Lu Sheng targeted was the shrine maiden named Inashiro Hotaru, who was responsible for drawing and interpreting the lots for those who prayed for blessings. She was an old employee of the Naruto-taisha Shrine and the person who knew Yaeguchi best.
After the last assassination, Kagemukai Mountain was temporarily closed and not open to the public. Only a few shrine maidens were left in the Narugami Taisha Shrine, playing with each other.
Lu Sheng squatted on the roof of the shrine and observed secretly, and confirmed that Yae Miko was not in the shrine at the moment.
She must be busy dealing with the affairs of the Kanjo Bugyo and has no time to come back.
The target this time, Inashiro Hotaru, appeared in his sight. Lu Sheng put on a mask and his figure flashed in the air.
In a flash, Daocheng Yingmei, who was cleaning, was suddenly taken to a small dark room.
She wanted to scream in panic, but her mouth was covered by a strong hand, so she couldn't make a sound.
"Shh~ If you want to live, be quiet."
Feeling a cold and sharp object touching her lower abdomen, Daocheng Yingmei was so scared that tears could not stop falling and she nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, I'm not a murderer. I just want to ask you two questions. Just answer them truthfully."
Daocheng Yingmei continued to nod.
"My question is very simple. What is your Lord's favorite food? What is his favorite light novel?"
After hearing these two questions, Daocheng Yingmei's frightened expression became more confused.
That's it?
What kind of question was that? She thought he was going to ask about some secret of the shrine!
Could it be that someone who wanted to get in through the back door came here specifically to inquire about the priest's preferences and give him gifts in return?
Lu Sheng slowly loosened his hand, Daocheng Yingmei took a deep breath, and blurted out without hesitation: "Our palace chief loves to eat fried tofu, and his favorite novel is "I Got Reincarnated as the Eightfold Palace Chief."
She actually answered it. It seems that Daocheng Yingmei has not been replaced by anyone.
"Great, now I have another question."
Daocheng Yingmei's tears started to flow again. Will this ever end?
Lu Sheng then asked, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with your Lord Gong Si recently?"
Daocheng Yingmei's eyes moved left and right as she recalled carefully.
If there was something wrong, she did notice it.
But those things are nothing, Yae Miyaji is a very complicated and fickle person.
Others have thousands of faces, but Yae Gongsi is different. She has thousands of faces.
"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since Miyagi-sama has talked to me about the content of light novels. In the past, when she was bored, she would always pull us to share her latest novels and tell us about the weird plots in them."
"Maybe there's more work to do after Kanpaku took office, so Yae-no-miya has become much more indifferent. He has been shutting himself in his room and only comes out during festivals."
Lu Sheng asked again: "How long has it been since she last had fried tofu?"
This made Daocheng Yingmei stunned.
"Fried tofu... Gong Si used to eat it every day... but recently... maybe his taste has changed, I haven't eaten it for a long time."
This time Lu Sheng got a definite answer. Kamisato Ayaka's suspicion was correct. The Yae Goddess in the shrine now must be a fake.
Facing Inashiro Hotaru, the shrine maiden who was closest to Yae Miko, he asked directly, "Do you think your chief priest is someone else pretending to be him?"
"How is it possible? I have been with Gong Si for more than ten years. Whether it is his appearance, voice, or walking posture, I can identify him at a glance. There is absolutely no possibility of this. Besides, who in the entire Inazuma community has the guts to pretend to be Gong Si?"
Inashiro Hotaru directly rejected this possibility. She believed in her own eyes and ears, and believed that no one in the world would dare to impersonate Yae Miyabi.
Lu Sheng chuckled, "Then why don't you think about it carefully in light of my previous question?"
"Hiss... It's really strange when you say that... No, no! This is impossible! But... Oh my! I really can't tell the difference!"
The possibility and the impossibility were mixed together in Daocheng Yingmei's mind, like a ball of wool tangled by a cat.
"Think about it again, what is the most abnormal thing your palace chief has done recently?"
"The most abnormal? Hmm..." Daocheng Yingmei's thoughts went back to more than a month ago, and a fragment that fit the description of "most abnormal" suddenly popped up in her memory.
"That's right! After the chief priest went to meet the kanpaku, she suddenly brought back a strange-looking stone that day. She said it was a killing stone and that there was an extremely terrible evil hidden inside it! After all of us priestesses performed a grand purification ceremony under the sacred cherry blossoms, we pressed the stone into the big town at the bottom of the Yingxiang Mountain."
"Lady Gongsi looked very nervous that day. It was the most serious expression I have ever seen her in my life. I guess that killing stone must be very scary!"
Killing Stone? Isn't that the stone that Tamamonomae turned into after his death?
Wait! Tamamonomae?
The legendary demon kings, Tengu, Otakemaru, Tamamonomae, Shuten-doji...
Since two of them have already appeared in Inazuma, it means that the other two are likely to exist as well.
Could it be that... this Yae Goddess is Tamamonomae in disguise?
Both are extremely powerful vixen, and it is indeed very easy to play them.
What about the original Yae God? Did he die and turn into stone?
Well... there is indeed a big problem with this Kanpaku. First, he deceived the Thunder God with some unknown method, and then he designed a plan to harm Yae Shinto.
Just to rule Inazuma for one person?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Judging from all the signs, Suzuka Gozen doesn't seem to be a person of this era. In other words, she is most likely a demon from outer space.
If that's true, then the Heart of God has most likely been taken by her.
Lu Sheng suddenly felt murderous intent in his heart, and he would definitely not let her go!
The Devil from Beyond will not allow the existence of another Devil from Beyond.
No matter whether she is a good person or a bad person, no matter how she wants to change the world, anyone who stands in her way must die.
"Where is the stone?"
Daocheng Yingmei hurriedly shook her head, "What do you want to do? It's very dangerous there! It's a place to suppress evil spirits! Since the last purification ceremony, the priest has strictly prohibited anyone from entering there!"
Lu Sheng put the knife across her neck and said in a cold tone, "Ask again, where is the stone?"
"Gu~" Under the threat of death, Daocheng Yingmei could only answer honestly: "There is a cave at the bottom of Yingxiang Mountain. Inside is a big town that suppresses evil spirits. The stone is placed in the center of the big town. Please don't kill me! I have told you everything I know!"
"I won't kill you, but to prevent you from lying to me, I'll send you to a good place first, so you can wait quietly for a while."
After saying that, Lu Sheng grabbed Daocheng Yingmei and stuffed her into the Chen Ge pot.
Inside the cave, Paimeng was eating hotpot in the sun when suddenly a witch fell from the sky and landed in front of her.
The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds.
"Let's eat... together?"
Outside the Chen Ge Hu, Lu Sheng had already arrived at the bottom of Yingxiang Mountain.
What Daocheng Yingmei was talking about should be the place where the sacred cherry blossoms were purified.
The atmosphere here is extremely depressing, with several twisted fox statues scattered around.
Walking forward, you can see a torii built in a cave, and in front of it is the big town that Daocheng Yingmei mentioned.
Many stone pillars formed a strange shape, and were covered with densely packed white talisman papers.
The closer you get, the more you can feel an unsettling force pressing down on your body, as if some force is trying its best to stop the intruder.
How could Lu Sheng endure such humiliation? He took out a Shukaku Spear and threw it hard, smashing a stone pillar.
The force came to an abrupt halt.
He walked in with his chest held high and his head held high, and at a glance he saw the Killing Stone that Daocheng Yingmei had mentioned, which was placed in the center of the town.
It was a stone that was vaguely shaped like a fox, about half a meter high, and its appearance was no different from that of ordinary stones, except that its color was a little black.
However, Lu Sheng could feel a flow of energy inside the stone, and the dead object seemed to be given life.
He couldn't help but walk forward and wanted to touch the killing stone with his hands.
call out!
Suddenly, a string of poisonous stingers flew towards Lu Sheng's head.
Lu Sheng quickly retracted his hand, drew his sword and blew out a wall of wind to block the sneak attack.
When he looked up, he saw a woman with a charming face and no clothes hanging on the ceiling of the cave, staring at him with an extremely longing look.
The woman had a pair of bat-like wings on her back and a mouth full of sharp teeth. She was undoubtedly a monster.
"Chiliu~"
