Left with no other choice, the traveler decided to go back to Sumida and bring her the wooden reed flute.
This time it was a success. The wooden reed flute was still in the traveler's backpack, and Sumida finally got his hands on it.
However, she was somewhat disappointed, feeling that it was too relaxed and lacked a sense of destiny; the subject matter was insufficient.
By asking travelers about their experiences at Tsurukan, Sumida gained some understanding.
The previous wooden reed flute disappeared because it was a fake 'ghost wooden reed flute'.
This time, the traveler brought back actual artifacts that were buried there.
Now he felt a sense of destiny. Sumida was very happy, feeling that he would soon become a contracted author with Yaedo. What pen name should he choose then? How about Kurotsuchi?
Although the wooden reed flute was found, Sumida's request was not over, because she gave the traveler a new request: to investigate Tsurugashi.
The traveler never refuses anyone; if you pay, I'll do the task for you. Besides, the traveler himself was also a little curious, so he naturally accepted this new commission.
After accepting the commission, the traveler went to find Afu, wanting to understand the relationship between Afu and Heguan.
However, Afu did not want to mention this, saying that it had nothing to do with travelers.
The traveler said that this was what Sumida wanted to know.
[A-Fu: "Okay."]
Immediately, Afu began to tell the traveler about his family, saying that their ancestors came from Hakkan.
The case is now solved. It turns out that Afu from Heguan was his ancestor. Although they were both named Afu, they were not the same person.
It wasn't a ghost, and Ichidou breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Sumida didn't know Afu's true identity.
It wasn't that Afu wanted to keep it a secret, it's just that Sumida never asked. If Sumida had asked, he would definitely have answered.
Afu told travelers that his ancestors settled on Qinglai Island after leaving Heguan.
Later, the Thunderbird died on Qinglai Island, which was no longer habitable, so they moved to Shenwuzuka.
While living in Kannazuka, he worked part-time in Futabasa, but ended up getting caught up in the professor's mischief. Disappointed and unaware of the truth, he left and went to Narukami Island.
Readers couldn't help but give a thumbs up, saying, "What an amazing family!"
Inazuma's family has encountered a series of unfortunate events, and yet they survived all of them. Amazing! A-Fu, you really are a superhero, and so is your whole family.
Leaving Crane View, Crane View was destroyed by Thunder Bird; leaving Qinglai Island, the seal on Thunder Bird was broken; leaving Godless Tomb, Tasha Sand was ruined. I don't know whether to call your family a lucky star or a jinx.
Hey, I have a suggestion. Let Shen He give you the red rope later, and let Shen He rest for a while. Your family is truly a cursed family!
Let Shen He cosplay as the white-haired Nakano Miku; you guys are the real Lone Star Calamity.
The traveler asked Afu curiously why his ancestors left Heguan.
Readers are probably thinking: You didn't read any of the previous content!
Afu tells the traveler that because the Thunderbird has taken a liking to a child, the priest is going to sacrifice the child to the Thunderbird.
His ancestor couldn't accept it, so he left. He wanted to take the children with him, but the other party didn't agree, so he voluntarily stayed behind.
This matter was already mentioned in Zuo Shi's previous words; the traveler did not read the question carefully.
Ah Fu's words became the final straw for the readers. Oh no, our prediction has come true!
This isn't a festival, it's clearly a memorial service!
Afu also told travelers that the current state of Heguan is likely due to a large-scale geological anomaly caused by the rampant destruction by the Thunderbirds.
The Thunderbird's powerful lightning was even seen by its ancestors, who lived far away on Qinglai Island.
Such terrifying power was killed by Thor's arrow, which only highlighted how terrifying Thor was.
The ley line anomaly that Afu mentioned refers to the memories that should have existed in the ley lines, but have now all ended up in the 'present world'.
But unlike the memories they had before, they couldn't communicate, had no thoughts, and could only repeat what they had done before.
Time there cycles through that day: festival—anger—thunderstorm—destruction, and so on, in an endless cycle.
The only exception is Aryu, who doesn't seem to be in the loop, and he is the only 'memory' that can be communicated.
In fact, Aryu had no way to communicate with other 'memories'. He could only watch, wait, and witness again and again in this predetermined cycle, repeating this cycle for thousands of years.
So, if possible, the traveler also wants to help Aru.
Afu remained indifferent to the traveler's 'passionate' behavior, showing no inclination to offer assistance.
However, if it were Lord Sumida, he would probably say, "If we could break the cycle of the Sea of Fog, we could end that 'history'."
The traveler echoed A-Fu's words, saying, "It's worth writing about!"
[A-Fu said expressionlessly, "That's hilarious."]
Ah Fu said this with a blank expression. Whether he laughed himself to death or not is unknown, but the readers were definitely laughing their heads off.
You two were chirping crickets in the ink field behind my back, and I must say, you did a pretty good job imitating them.
Finally, the traveler went to the Crane View again, but this time he did not encounter Aru at the gate and had to search further in.
The 'memories' encountered along the way are still saying the same things they said when they first met, and they will only continue to cycle like this.
The traveler suddenly had a bold idea: since they said the perch was important, what if they destroyed it?
That's how little geniuses are; the first solution they think of is to use 'muscle'.
My super brain tells me that this is the time to use my super muscles!

Chapter 323 The Charming Thunderbird
The travelers destroyed all the perches in an attempt to stop the festival.
However, when they arrived at the festival site, it was already blood red, and the whole place was filled with terrifying thunderstorms, which scared the traveler and Paimon so much that they were immediately soaked.
After running away from Heguan, he became a little worried about Aru. Although it was impossible for Aru to be in any danger, he still decided to go back and look for her.
After finding Aru, Aru's attitude was a bit strange; he seemed to be blaming the traveler for destroying the perch.
He told the traveler that the festival must have gone wrong, which is why it turned out this way. It was because of this accident that he woke up, but no one else could see him.
Everyone in Heguan kept repeating what happened on the day of the festival, and even Kapachili was nowhere to be seen.
So he wanted to complete the festival properly, because he felt that as long as the festival was completed, everyone could see him again and live a good life.
But he couldn't do it after trying, so he had to ask the traveler for help. Now the traveler has destroyed the perch, and Capachelli will be angry.
At this point, Aru was having some mental issues, and the traveler couldn't communicate with her, so he had to leave to avoid the thunderstorm.
After explaining her experience to Sumida, Sumida roughly understood the difference in Tsurukan, and then she began to think about the 'setting' of the novel.
[Sumida: "It could be written like this... 'The tragedy of Tsurugashi ultimately stemmed from a misunderstanding.'"]
She only wanted to write something elegant and profound, but little did she know that her words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
[“For example, the priest and Aruru thought that Thunderbird favored Aruru because it wanted to make a special offering, but Thunderbird actually just liked Aruru.”]
That's why readers don't know the specifics yet; otherwise, they would all wonder, "Do novelists all have a bit of prophecy about them?"
Or did you all go off to write novels, just as you predicted? Anyway, there's definitely something going on between you two!
Did the god who writes novels and the god of prophecy get drunk one night, causing you two to have to "get together"?
After reading the book, Mona exclaimed that she understood it; the secret was in writing the novel!
Let's get started! I'll have Amy, who loves reading novels, give me her feedback.
In the story, Sumida also learns about Afu's identity from the traveler, goes to find Afu together, and then tells him about the outline of his novel.
After listening, Afu commented that it wasn't as good as the stories that Sumida had told before, which were written by others.
[Sumida: "H-They really don't hold back..."]
Afu quickly apologized, but his apology only hurt Sumida more.
The traveler, not wanting to witness their "lovey-dovey display," continued on to Heguan to complete his commission.
After she left, Mo Tian and A Fu were still chatting. Mo Tian was curious whether A Fu, being from He Guan, might know how to make wooden reed flutes.
Guess what? He actually does!
Sumida has become a clown; he wasted a lot of money hiring people to look for the wooden reed flute but still couldn't find it.
It turned out that the person who could make wooden reed flutes was right next to her, but she never asked.
Afu also told Sumida that giving a handmade wooden reed flute to someone of the opposite sex is a form of marriage proposal.
This statement is quite suggestive; he means that he can't give you the wooden reed flute he made, otherwise it would be a marriage proposal.
However, Sumida didn't realize that she was preoccupied with the novel and thought the 'setting' was good, so she planned to write it into the novel.
Lin Qiu: Let me clarify, this is how we novelists are.
The legendary traveler and Paimon once again set foot on Crane View, this faithful land.
When the travelers arrived at Heguan, they found that Afu was also there, and even arrived earlier than them, clearly waiting for them.
I told you he was Superman!
With his conceptual abilities, if Sumida asked him to go to Sky Island, he could probably take you there.
Ahem, putting aside the jokes, Afu isn't here to do 'his master's task' this time; he's here entirely on his own initiative to help.
Although he came on his own initiative, he still asked for Sumida's opinion before coming. Sumida naturally supported him and said a lot of pretentious, artsy things.
The 'setting' she mentioned, for example: the thunderstorms in Heguan are so violent now, it may be a manifestation of the Thunderbird's will, and maybe this time we can encounter the 'Will of the Thunderbird'.
Readers didn't care about this far-fetched idea, after all, Sumida had already come up with too many outrageous ideas.
The Thunderbird Capachelli was killed by the General many years ago, and even its remaining power was resealed. What will it have left?
Let's not talk about her anymore. The current situation at Heguan is indeed a bit bad. It's probably because travelers have damaged the perches. Heguan is slightly different from before, and it's more dangerous now.
However, danger can also be an opportunity, and this time there may truly be a chance to break the cycle.
The only problem is that Aru was very angry yesterday because they destroyed the perch, and it's unclear whether she'll still want to see them now.
The three of them searched for Aru together in several places in Crane View where there was no thunder, and the traveler used the Thunderbird's feather at the Bewitching Beach.
The power of the feather summoned a group of monsters. After defeating the monsters, another feather appeared. This feather was a remnant of the past, and the will of the Thunderbird resided within it.
The illustration shows the Thunderbird Capachelli, its feathers radiating a purple glow, which is very beautiful. My sister said that purple has a more elegant feel to it.
It hovered in the sky, its eyes able to see through the mist, watching over all the creatures on the island, listening to their 'songs'—songs it had grown tired of.
When Capachelli returned to its den, it heard a different tune.
Unlike the 'singing' of other animals, this voice is exceptionally beautiful... I quite like it. Who is it?
The image disappeared and reverted to text; the traveler only gleaned this information from the feather before it flew away.
The readers were dumbfounded. No, buddy? He really has the will of the Thunderbird? Was Sumida right? Do you novelists have some influence on this?
I'm starting to wonder if "My Fox Fairy Chief" is also a prophecy, and whether the future general will really turn out like that.
The three travelers in the story continue their search for Aru, this time arriving at the Oina seaside.
As they searched, they chatted and suddenly realized that if they had just looked for Ah-Fu when they left the island, they would have left the island immediately.
A-Fu affirmed that bypassing the magistrates would be easy, but he would only help if he had a letter of introduction from Ms. Sumida.
But how can I get to know Sumida if I don't leave the island? And what's the point of looking for Afu if I leave the island?
The traveler, not wanting to get bogged down in this 'philosophical' question, opted to use his 'muscle' to solve the problem instead.
After defeating the monster, you'll find another elegant feather; touch it.
The illustrations were inserted so thickly they filled the pages. The image depicted a strange thing that was too far away to see clearly, but all that was clear was that it had fallen from the sky into Heguan.
