"What a big sacred cherry tree."

Bai Qiyun sighed subconsciously.

This sacred cherry tree should be the largest one he has seen since coming to Inazuma.

Even if you look from far away at the foot of the mountain, you can vaguely see the shadow of this sacred cherry tree.

The shrine is the same as elsewhere on Narukami Island. There is a dwarf ginkgo tree planted next to the sacred cherry tree.

Bai Qiyun, who has traveled to Qinglai Island, naturally knows that this should be the symbol of the God of Steel who once managed Inazuma together with the God of Thunder.

The two trees depend on each other and depend on each other for growth, just like the gods of old.

"Are you two here to visit the shrine?"

Perhaps because the two of them had been standing in the vestibule for a long time, a kind-faced miko came forward.

"Ah...well, I'm a tourist from Liyue. I heard that Narukami Grand Shrine is very famous, so I came here to have a look."

What Bai Qiyun said was indeed his true thoughts, but he had already reached this point when a sudden idea popped into his mind.

"Well, I heard that the Palace Secretary of Narukami Taisha Shrine has a very high status. It would be great if I were lucky enough to meet her."

Hearing this, the shrine maiden glanced at Kamisato Ayaka beside the boy and nodded slightly.

If Bai Qiyun was just a commoner, it would be quite difficult to meet the palace minister of the shrine.

After all, the priest of a shrine is the Shinto leader of a country. Unlike the priest of Asara Shrine who comes to visit him on his own initiative, Yae Kamiko is a woman who often disappears.

If you want to see her, you must either be involved in something that interests her, or you must be in a respected position.

If you don't have these two points, you can only meet with the palace minister through the official channels of the shrine.

And it just so happened that this Yaegongji was not very enthusiastic about his work.

Except for the annual blessing ceremony for the Inami people, Yae Shenzi rarely appears in front of the public.

People almost only hear his name but never see him.

Fortunately, Bai Qiyun did not come alone this time.

Whether she is the eldest lady of the society, or the 'Princess White Heron' who has evolved into a symbol of Inazato culture, Kamisato Ayaka is definitely the person who is qualified to bring a friend to meet the palace minister.

Sometimes identity is such a useful thing.

"I understand. I'm going to see if the Palace Secretary is still at the shrine. After all, our Palace Secretary often goes out. Please forgive me if he is not here."

The shrine maiden didn't say, 'Ask the lord of the palace for his opinion.' Instead, she said, 'See if the lord of the palace is at the shrine.' This was a very clever wording.

Although Kamisato Ayaka has an outstanding status, if Yaeguji just doesn't want to see her, then the miko can say that Yaeguji is not at the shrine to politely refuse the two of them, and it won't hurt the harmony.

Bai Qiyun naturally quickly understood the true meaning of the witch's words, and waved his hands indifferently.

"please."

After receiving the guest's approval, the miko hurriedly walked towards the back courtyard of the shrine.

The shrine covers a huge area, and it can be said that the entire top of the mountain is occupied by Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Its size is even larger than the Kamisato Garden at the foot of the mountain.

Among them, Yae Kamiko, as the priest of the shrine, lives in the deepest part of the back courtyard of the shrine, even further away from the front courtyard than the huge sacred cherry tree.

After all, the sacred cherry tree is for tourists to worship, and Yae Kamiko doesn't want people to come close to his residence.

Without the guidance of the shrine maiden, Bai Qiyun followed Kamisato Ayaka and wandered around the shrine.

"Crunch~"

The overall structure of the shrine is suspended in wood. Directly under the shrine's front courtyard is a pool, with wooden floors connecting all parts of the courtyard.

When the two people's footsteps landed on it, it instantly emitted a squeaking and shaking sound, which made people feel sad.

“It feels like there aren’t many people.”

Bai Qiyun looked around with curiosity, only to find that there were very few people coming to worship at Inazuma's most famous shrine.

If the lack of tourists can be explained by the difficulty of climbing the mountain, then it is difficult to explain the fact that there are not even five or six shrine maidens in sight.

You must know that the shrine maidens of Narukami Taisha Shrine are selected every few years. Although it is not overcrowded, it should never be so deserted.

Unless something happened at the shrine and they were all transferred down the mountain.

By the way, Kano Nana also said that she is going to take a vacation recently. Could it be because of this incident?

Bai Qiyun derived the correct conclusion through a wrong process. I really don't know whether he is lucky or not.

"Yeah, I remember there weren't so few people here when I was a kid."

Kamisato Ayaka stretched out her hand to take a piece of cherry blossom, put it in her hand and looked at it slowly.

The cherry blossoms came into the girl's eyes, and the girl's face was reflected in the pool at her feet.

She stood on the bridge and looked at the scenery, but she didn't know that she also became the scenery in the eyes of others.

During the boring inspection process, Bai Qiyun's eyes swept across a fox lying in the corner of the vestibule.

It was the one that escaped from his hands before.

"Hey, little guy, let's see where you run away this time."

Bai Qiyun dodged and captured the fox demon again.

After realizing it, the little guy shook it in the young man's hand, and then started struggling violently.

But obviously, it also knows that this is in vain.

After struggling twice symbolically, he stopped moving.

Anyway, this is the base camp of the shrine, so the human in front of me doesn’t dare to do anything too extreme. If you like Genshin Impact, Spear Still, please collect it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Genshin Impact, Spear Still Search and Read Novel Network updates at a full speed
