Genuine Hermit Statue仙人像（本物）

Xiaohei stopped by again.

This time, she asked me to find a taixi doll for her. Know what that is? "Taixi" is a form of breath control,

and a "taixi doll" lets you to talk to anyone who has been holding their breath for an extended period of time.

I do think a statue of a taixi hermit could get the job done just as well.

Luckily for her, I've a fairly solid idea where I might find such a statue. It's a long ways from here, though.

And so, I beg the timeless question, "Where did Xiaohei learn about THIS?!"

Did Xiaohei mention a hermit statue? I think the onmyoji told her about it. What I want to know is... How did she get in touch with that onmyoji in the first place?

You're the only one going, but don't worry! My ancestor is waiting for you on the other side. You'll definitely make it back. As for the hermit statue... When it comes to small items like that, who knows where it landed. Go look for it once you're there. Ready to go? Of course you are! It's like a TV show, and now, you're the star making history! Which means... woah... That means that, at this very moment, I'm making history too! RE-KI-SHIIIII!

Oh! That hermit statue is a taixi doll! If you hold that up to the wooden monk, you'll be able to speak with him!

Surprised by my appearance, eh?

I may not look it, but I descended from eighteen generations of Ghostmasters, and am at His Majesty's loyal service.

I take it you're the one who dropped this statue that my apprentice found.

You'll have to forgive the guy. He never means to cause trouble.

... I hate to admit this, but a ghost that I'd raised did manage to escape my supervision recently.

Now, I'm scrambling to track it down before the Divine Path ritual starts.

It was on one of my apprentice's searches that he found your statue.

This hermit statue is brimming with spiritual energy. I wouldn't blame anyone for taking it. Again, pardon my apprentice. I'm relieved you came to carry out the Divine Beast's will. Tell me if you sense any malice in the City. I want to keep the ghost under control until the ritual.

I heard the lady-in-waiting is safe? ... Wait a sec, don't gimme that face!

Is this about the hermit statue? Listen, I'm not the one who swapped yours out with a fake, got it?

All I did was give you whatever statue my apprentice first handed to me! How would I know you dropped a taixi doll?

... Sorry. There's no way that counterfeit statue'll revive your monk like you want it to.

But we can't have these kinda problems on the day of the Divine Path ritual. We're counting on you to conduct it!
