Fukuda Hideo curiously asked, "Master, please tell me, what is he doing?"
Inoue Kyoko did not directly answer his question but instead asked, "How much do you know about the legends surrounding the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror in Japanese folklore?"
Fukuda Hideo replied, "I've heard a bit about it. It is said that the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror was originally an Ancient Divine Artifact from Huaxia. The mirror's greatest feature is its ability to traverse time and space. During the An Shi Rebellion, Yang Guifei was forced to flee to Japan, and Tang Xuanzong, in order to meet with his beloved consort again in the future, bestowed this mirror upon her so she could cross over to the Tang Dynasty every night for secret meetings. However, after Yang Guifei's death, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror became unknown!"
"That's just a legend. If the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror really existed, why would Tang Xuanzong give it to Yang Guifei? He could keep it for himself and cross over to Japan to meet her!" Fukuda Hideo added.
Inoue Kyoko laughed and said, "Who is Tang Xuanzong? A person of high status; how could he casually cross over to another country for secret meetings with a woman? What if others found out? How would they view him then?"
Fukuda Hideo was taken aback and asked, "Are you implying that the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror actually exists?"
"Indeed!"
Inoue Kyoko suddenly changed the topic and said, "I have always been living in seclusion in the mountains practicing Ninjutsu. I rarely come down from the mountains and certainly do not show myself easily in the world. Do you know why I chose to accompany you here?"
"This..." Fukuda Hideo expressed his confusion.
Inoue Kyoko coldly smiled and said, "Because I am very interested in this Xiao Yun. I want to meet him in person and see what he is made of!"
As she spoke, her thoughts jumped around rapidly.
Her scattered way of thinking and speaking often left Fukuda Hideo struggling to keep up.
After hearing Inoue Kyoko's words, Fukuda Hideo snorted coldly and said, "Isn't he just a person? Why does Master say he is made of some special material?"
Inoue Kyoko sighed softly and changed the topic:
"After learning that Xiao Yun came to Japan to search for the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror, I looked up information related to the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror."
"Did you know that the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror is very spiritual? It has a blood oath function."
"After Tang Xuanzong bestowed this Heavenly Mechanism Mirror to Yang Guifei, she once pricked her finger and dripped her blood onto the mirror's surface, ensuring that it would not leave her side."
"However, there is also a Heavenly Mechanism Pearl on the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror. Only when the mirror and pearl are united can the function of time travel be realized. Once blood is dripped onto it, the pearl will bond tightly and will not separate easily."
"But later, after Yang Guifei died, the blood she dripped on the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror became ineffective, causing the pearl to separate. From then on, both the mirror and pearl were lost to the world, their whereabouts unknown."
At this point, Inoue Kyoko said, "But Fukuda Hideo, do you know that the Calming Pearl that Xiao Yun took from the seabed is actually the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl?"
"Master, how do you know this?" Fukuda Hideo asked in surprise.
Inoue Kyoko replied, "Although Yang Guifei is an ancient figure, the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror accompanied her for many years, and the aura surrounding her still lingers. Just now, when I saw Xiao Yun paying homage to Yang Guifei, the aura he emitted contained a breath that merged with Yang Guifei's aura. That is a breath only the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl possesses!"
"Once these two auras merge, the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl will no longer be connected to Yang Guifei and will belong to Xiao Yun. The Heavenly Mechanism Mirror and Heavenly Mechanism Pearl have a characteristic: they can connect across mountains but not across water. This means that as long as the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror is in my Empire of Japan, the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl cannot reach Huaxia and will remain on my Great Japan land. How did Xiao Yun obtain the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl upon arriving in Japan? Clearly, that calming pearl is indeed the Heavenly Mechanism Pearl!" Inoue Kyoko analyzed.
Then she continued, "Fukuda Hideo, do you know that those women cultivating under Winter Melon Lazy Person who practice Xuanwu Water God have formed Water God Pearls within them after years of cultivation? These are not something ordinary people can easily take. Yet when Xiao Yun arrived, he effortlessly seized those Water God Pearls. Do you think he is just an ordinary person?"
Hearing Inoue Kyoko's words, Fukuda Hideo stammered, "So Master means that this Xiao has quite impressive skills?"
"Indeed. If you two were to fight, you would be no match for him. However, if he encounters me, that would be his misfortune!" Inoue Kyoko laughed proudly.
Hideo Fukuda let out a sigh of relief upon hearing her words and said, "Master, that's great! Why don't we take action now while we have the chance?"
Kyoko Inoue glanced over at Yang Guifei's Tomb and noticed that Xiao Yun had already risen from in front of the grave. She said, "No, we can't. It seems that Daoxiang Zhenyuan has a special relationship with Xiao Yun. We can't confront Xiao Yun in front of the Governor!"
Hideo Fukuda felt anxious inside, wishing he could rush forward and fight Xiao Yun right away...
Meanwhile, Daoxiang Zhenyuan saw Xiao Yun standing up from Yang Guifei's grave and asked with a smile, "Yunfeng-kun, have you finished paying your respects?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yun replied with a smile.
Daoxiang Zhenyuan then said, "So can we start our brotherhood ceremony in front of Yang Guifei's Tomb?"
Seeing his eager demeanor, Xiao Yun found Daoxiang Zhenyuan even more endearing and replied, "Sure!"
At that moment, Hiraiko Inaka came from the temple with two incense sticks and handed them to her father and Xiao Yun.
The two immediately lit the incense and placed it in front of Yang Guifei's grave.
Daoxiang Zhenyuan took Xiao Yun's hand, and they both knelt before the grave. Daoxiang Zhenyuan proclaimed loudly, "Today, I and Yunfeng-kun become sworn brothers. I ask the noble lady to be our witness. From now on, we shall share blessings and hardships together. We do not seek to be born in the same year or month, but we wish to die in the same year or month!"
Afterward, they bowed three times on the ground.
This brotherhood ceremony was quite simple and might seem childish in today's world, but to Daoxiang Zhenyuan, it felt very solemn.
Once the ceremony was complete, Daoxiang Zhenyuan stood up while still holding Xiao Yun's hand and said with a smile, "From now on, I will call you Brother Xiao Yun. Is that alright?"
"Alright, Rice Fragrance Brother!" Xiao Yun laughed.
Upon hearing Xiao Yun's words, Daoxiang Zhenyuan was so excited that he burst into laughter and called his children over, saying, "Quick, call him uncle!"
Inaka Hiraiko didn't hesitate; she walked up to Xiao Yun, gracefully bowed, and said, "Hello, Uncle!"
Damn!
Xiao Yun was almost knocked out by her greeting.
Thinking back to the night of passion he had with Inaka Hiraiko, she had suddenly become his niece.
People from Island Nation really are peculiar; they can do anything.
"Hahaha... now I, Daoxiang Zhenyuan, have a Huaxia Brother!" Daoxiang Zhenyuan raised his arms and laughed towards the sky.
Inoue Kyoko, who was lurking in the shadows, was taken aback by the scene before her and murmured, "What kind of trick is Daoxiang Zhenyuan playing? How did he become brothers with this Xiao Yun guy?"
Fukuda Hideo was also anxious and said, "Master, what should we do?"
