In the depths of the Lost Bamboo Forest, in front of the Eternal Pavilion, a towering tree appeared at some point.

This makes the Eternal Pavilion, which was originally hidden deep by the bamboo forest, easy to find.

Reisen Yuzukain looked up at the tree helplessly, and Emperor Inaba, who was standing behind her, was maliciously pestle an axe about the size of her body.

When Gu Ming Dijue arrived, he happened to see this scene.

……

……

"Lord Ryujin, come down, Lord Yonglin, please come in as a guest. ”

Reisen grabbed the emperor who was about to move with the axe, and looked up at the girl on the tree, and asked loudly again.

"No, I will wait here for the return of the predestined one. ”

The white dragon sat cross-legged on a tree with one hand on his cheek.

"Her Royal Highness went out a few days ago, and I don't know when she will be back. ”

"She's not coming back, I'm just waiting. ”

"Lord Yonglin said, it's the same if you're waiting in the pavilion. ”

"It's different, I want to be more sincere. ”

"But, however, no one said that you had to wait in the tree to be ......," the rabbit youkai Rezusen racked his brains to improve his eloquence and tried to convince the other party.

"I said it with sincerity rather than courtesy. I don't think she's a rigid person, and she won't care about such a small section. ”

"However, Eirin-sama said that I would like to invite you in. ”

"I'm not here to visit the Eight Meanings, but to give her trouble, I'm embarrassed to go in, I'm going to wait here. ”

"But ......"

"If you want to drive me away, you will come out in person, if not, don't waste your lips and tongues. ”

Reizen was about to say something more when he suddenly paused.

Several people looked into the depths of the bamboo forest at the same time.

"Hi, good morning, guys. ”

……

……

The moment he heard this voice, Emperor Inaba, who was still eyeing the dragon god a moment ago, jumped up.

Ignoring the axe at hand, he slipped behind Reisen and buried his head in Reizen's short skirt.

Reisen was also taken aback by the reaction of the Inhama Monster, who seemed to be not afraid of heaven and earth, and didn't have time to think about it, he turned slightly and bowed in the direction that Gu Ming Jijue was coming from.

While searching for the impression of a girl with light purple hair in his mind, he secretly patted the head of Emperor Inaba behind him, trying to drive her out of her skirt.

This person is a little familiar and seems to ......

"Big monster Jue, I have heard Yingji mention you many times. ”

Ryujin's opening made Reisen aware of the visitor, and he did have a relationship with the New Year's Eve Festival at Hakurei Shrine a few months ago.

"The dragon god, I have been famous for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen it. ”

"Gu Ming Dijue, I don't like you. ”

"Well, I won't stay long," he turned to Reizen, "You just said that Mt. Penglai Kaguya is not here?"

"Yes, His Highness left a few days ago, and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Gu Ming Dijue nodded. When I looked up, I saw that the dragon god on the tree was looking at me.

"She's not lying. ”

"It's all right, I'll wait. ”

"That being the case, gone. ”

"Wait a minute, Jue Youkai, I want to ask you something. ”

Gu Ming Dijue stopped and didn't look back.

"Do you know why my sweetheart has fallen here?"

"I don't know Kaguya well, I don't know each other, but I have some festivals. ”

"Then do you know who she has a lot of dealings with, and with whom she resents her?"

Gu Ming Dijue did not speak.

"Do you know if she has anyone to care about, and where is she now?"

Gu Mingdijue sighed.

"If I don't want to, I won't be in my ears," he said with his right hand, tapping the earphones around his neck, "I don't have to knock those two rabbits on the side, I'm not interested in their voices." ”

"It's boring. The white dragon said no more.

"Goodbye, lovely Miss Reisen. ”

Before Gu Ming Dijue left, he suddenly turned around and waved goodbye to Lingxian.

"Ahh......h

Unexpectedly, the big youkai would suddenly talk to him, and Reizen responded with a slight stammer.

……

……

He used the name of a human Ogura chestnut to send a letterhead to the youkai Suzusen.,I thought about it all the way when I came.、In the end, I still didn't make up my mind to apologize.。

It's not that I'm cowardly, but that talking about this matter will only embarrass Miss Lingxian, and there is no need to mention it in many people.

As for the purpose of the white dragon and what happened here before, it was naturally clear to him, after all...... Can't read minds, just excuses.

This pair of headphones that isolate mind-reading is not always effective.

It can be a fig leaf for those who are afraid, even if they make a fool of themselves, they will feel a little more at ease.

Kakuyokai can expose other people's lies, and they can also easily hide their own truth.

I learned interesting stories from the white dragon, but it had nothing to do with the purpose of my trip.

After leaving the Eternal Pavilion, head in the direction of the Magical Forest.

……

……

Outside the human village, in a dilapidated and abandoned shack, there is a wooden house that is still in good condition.

When Gu Ming Dijue pushed the door in, Mo Ming was sitting at the table, crossing Erlang's legs, making pastries in her hands that she had never seen before.

"I thought you had many habits different from the humans here. ”

"It turned out to be Miss Xiaowu, unexpectedly. Mo Ming stopped what she was doing, and her face was happy, not like a fake.

"Who told you Little Five?" Gu Ming Dijue frowned, "Forget it, why are you here?"

"I was going to look for you, but Marisa told me that the passage to the old hell was cut off and that I couldn't take me there, but luckily you found it, and now you can be saved. ”

"I'm asking you, why are you here?"

"Hey, you're not ......," Mo Ming said, casting his gaze on the eye on Gu Ming Dijue's chest.

The eyes seemed to perceive the gaze and glanced away.

Gu Mingdijue clicked on the hanging headphones: "I can't hear what you're thinking now." ”

"Huh, that's a ......."

Mo Ming silently recited some slightly disrespectful pictures in his heart, and seeing that Gu Mingdi's face remained unchanged, he suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "It's rude, I'm trying to avoid the enemy, and I'm afraid of affecting others, so I have to stay here temporarily." ”

"Hiding from the enemy?" Gu Ming felt that he had realized in his heart, it must be the dragon god.

"Exactly. ”

"Is it considered to be the enemy who has come to the door now?"

Mo Ming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled flatteringly: "How can it, the little five people act above board, and they will never disdain to do anything to me, an ordinary human who has no power, even if I take the initiative to go to your mansion, won't it leave me a place." ”

He doesn't seem to remember being hung upside down at all.

"I know you have a grudge on your mind, but I'm not going to explain anything. ”

"It's definitely a misunderstanding, you see, I'm ......"

Mo Ming sneered, interrupted by Gu Ming Dijue.

"Did Miss Alice ever mention my message to you?"

"Alice, haven't you talked about it, what's the matter?" Mo Ming's face became more serious, showing some doubts.

Gu Ming felt relieved, nodded and said, "I told her that if I meet you, please help relay a commission." ”

"Yes...... What?"

"Please help me find my sister, Gu Ming Love. ”

"Your sister is lost again?"

"Hmm. ”

"No, it shouldn't be this. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Because you were in the Earth Spirit Temple earlier, you rejected my request for help. Although I think that if there is real trouble, you should have helped, but I was actually taken away by Alice - so you will feel sorry for it. ”

"No way. ”

"Even if you didn't, you wouldn't ask me to resolve the incident at this point. ”

"Maybe it's not an order and you can benefit from it......?

Mo Ming didn't plan to listen to it: "I was going to take advantage of your apology...... I was investigating Alice's disappearance, and my first thought was to ask you for help. After all, the ability to read minds is too convenient for investigation, but unfortunately the old hell is not passable, and it is a surprise to meet here. ”

"Alice is really missing?"

"You'll help, won't you?"

"It's not because of some bullshit apologies. ”

"Understand, how did you find this remote place?"

"I went to the Forest of Magic first. ”

"You found Marisa?"

"Every living thing has a word...... Speaking of which, you're quite popular with those little goblins. ”

"Oh, the elves told me where I went?"

"No, they've hidden your whereabouts. ”

Mo Ming glanced at the headphones on Gu Mingdijue's neck.

"Don't worry, I said that if I don't read my mind now, I won't read it. ”

"It makes sense, a big monster, you must do what you say. ”

Gu Ming felt that he waited at the door for a long time, but he didn't see Mo Ming open his mouth, "Please come in", so he slapped the door casually, and the whole house seemed to tremble.

"Be careful, this isn't my house. ”

"This place is extremely yin, and there will be human beings who will die here with hatred, but you have the courage to settle here. ”

The pastry in Mo Ming's hand paused for a moment: "It's really fake, don't scare me." ”

Seeing that Mo Ming was deflated, Gu Ming couldn't help laughing, walked to the not very spacious room, found a seat in the corner and knelt down.

"I was invited here by Aqiu to know the owner of this house. ”

"Well, she was a very cheerful girl when she was alive, and she wouldn't do anything to humans. ”

"Once the deceased turns into evil spirits, they will no longer be bound by life, and I am in charge of the resentful spirits in the Earth Spirit Temple, and I know better than you. ”

Mo Ming stopped what he was doing.

"Just kidding, how did you investigate Alice's disappearance?"

"Alice probably left Gensokyo on her own initiative. She left letterheads for everyone she knew...... Including you. But it wasn't given to me, so I suspect her departure had something to do with me. ”

Mo Ming continued to wrap the dough without raising his head:

"You don't have to look at me like that, it's not like I'm narcissistic. After all, she had an acquaintance with Alice, and she was going to leave Gensokyo for a long time, and she planned to write a letter to someone she had a friend to leave a memory, and she shouldn't have my share. ”

"So it's because of you? Did you say something excessive? Or did you reject her because you chose Mt. Penglai?"

As he spoke, Gu Ming felt that his right hand touched the earphones and nodded gently.

"It's not clear why you brought Kaguya up, but I don't have any impression of that...... Also, can I trouble you to stop reading minds? ”

Gu Mingdijue nodded: "Since Alice left voluntarily, I have no reason to go to the bottom of it." ”

"But maybe it's me, I don't want to be a nuisance to someone else without knowing it. ”

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Please, I owe you a favor. You should want to ask Alice in person, right?"

"What about the letter she wrote?"

"She was taken away by her senior, Miss Shenqi. ”

"Shenqi?" Gu Ming Dijue frowned, the name seemed familiar.

As he spoke, the window of the wooden house was windless, and a glowing bird landed on the table, turning into a delicate letterhead.

Mo Ming looked at her hands full of flour.

"Read it for me. ”

Gu Mingdijue sighed, got up and walked, and opened the letterhead.

"Alice is not in the Demon Realm. ”

"Where is the Demon Realm?...... Forget it, what else is written?"

"It's gone. ”

"No, how is it possible?" Mo Ming stood up and leaned over to look at it, and really only wrote one sentence.

"Well, what's next?"

"I miscalculated, I was going to ask Shenqi for questioning, but I only got a letter, and I didn't know how to contact her...... Isn't she concerned about the disappearance of her junior?"

After all, Alice's stay in Gensokyo may not end well. ”

"What do you mean?"

"For example, when encountering people who are unlucky. ”

“…… There is some truth to this. Mo Ming slowly sat back.

"Not going to look for Alice anymore?"

"No, I'm still looking for it. ”

"Before I came, I went to the Eternal Pavilion. ”

"Huh?"

"I met the White Dragon over there. ”

"White Dragon?"

"Ryujin. ”

"Oh. ”

"Miss Kaguya didn't return to the Eternal Pavilion. ”

“……”

"One thing I've always wondered is, how did you get so much charm?"

"There are two sides to everything, and I have a lot of complaints myself. ”

"Tell me?"

"For example, I offended the dragon god with Kaguya, and the dragon god saw Kaguya as a close friend, but he regarded me as an enemy, and for another example, I offended you with Alice, and you saw Alice as a close friend and me as an enemy...... Why, just because I'm not as good-looking as them?"

"Snort......," Gu Mingdi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Perhaps, you can try to change into a woman, and I can also consider seeing you as a close friend." ”

"No need. Mo Ming patted the flour on his hands and began to sort out the bits and pieces on the board.

"I just wanted to ask, what kind of pastry are you doing?"

"Make dumplings. ”

"What's that?"

"You want to eat together?"

"I'm not interested, you're going to wait here?"

"No, I'm just going to ask you, do you have a mystery?"

"What's that?"

"'Mystery,' come and say outside. ”

Mo Ming got up and patted it, and walked outside the wooden house.

"What is the 'Upanishn'?"

Gu Ming Dijue followed.

"That's the kind of ...... A very powerful ultimate, a special move that is usually saved until the last moment in a fight to reverse the situation. ”

"I've never been defeated since I entered the Old Hell...... Tsk, except that time. ”

"That time doesn't count, it's me who cheats. In short, it's a special skill, you should have all of them as big monsters of your level, right?"

"No," Gu Ming shook his head, then thought for a moment, "You mean...... Spell cards?"

Mo Ming snapped his fingers: "That's right, did you have it when you went out?"

Gu Mingdijue was eager to try: "For you?"

"Stop, can you use it against the air?"

Gu Ming Dijue shook his head: "My spell card is for living beings, and you are the only one in front of me. ”

"Tsk, that's a bit tricky......"

"What are you going to do?"

"Do me a favor. ”

Mo Ming picked up a stone on the ground at random and weighed it. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"By the way, you can send out a barrage, right?"

"Barrage?"

"It's the kind of biubiu-that, which I'm occasionally used by Reimu to smash my head.、It's like it's condensed through spiritual power or some kind of messy method......"

"Yes, how?"

"Like this, you know the 'water drifting' of human beings, right?" Mo Ming took out two crumpled pieces of paper from his coat pocket, patted them roughly smooth, and then squatted down on the spot, "Wait a minute, you will shoot a barrage from the center of these two magic arrays, treat the horizon as the surface of the water, and hit it as fast as possible, let's see how strong it is." ”

"Listen, you must pass through these two magic arrays, it is best to use the fastest speed, in principle, use ......"

"Bang-" Before the words fell, a change protruded.

There was a muffled sound of hitting the ground, and then a rift more than twenty meters long was drawn on the ground before it stopped, and the Magic Forest not far away was startled by a crowd of birds.

"It's ...... How powerful can the barrage be?" Mo Ming touched his head, which stood on his neck intact.

Gu Ming glanced at Mo Ming and did not answer. The person asking the question should be himself, right?

I saw Mo Ming take a deep breath, and Gu Ming Dijue, who was standing on the side, blocked his ears.

"Eight ———— clouds ———— blue ————"

"I'm looking for you. ”

There was a moment of silence.

"Mr. Mo Ming, why is this so?" a voice came from behind him.

Turning around, the moment the gap closed, Yakumo Lan's graceful figure walked out of it.

"It's not easy to find you, so I'll leave a contact information next time. ”

Once, Mo Ming pretended to have a headache at the shrine and easily got in touch with Yakumo Zi - because the shrine had been under surveillance at that time, it was also convenient to get in touch.

It's just that recently, Yakumo Purple has been busy with all things in the outside world, and after taking over internal affairs, Yakumo Blue has become much more low-key.

Before the Jue Youkai came here, Mo Ming had shouted the names of Yakumo Purple and Yakumo Blue into the air for a long time, but there was no response.

As a last resort, I had to use my strength to break the trick - I learned from Reimu that there are many monitoring techniques arranged in the Great Enchantment, and once there is an explosive force in a certain place, it will definitely attract the attention of the Yakumo family.

If you want to pretend that you don't know, you really can't say it.

"It's not a big deal, please eat dumplings. ”

Yayun Lan smiled bitterly when she heard this: "I'm afraid that Xingshi will ask for guilt." ”

"That's why I can't pretend I can't hear even when I shout?"

"Forgiveness is one, really, shamelessly facing Mr. ”

"The past is gone, and there has been no irreparable fault, so I will not pursue it, I ask you, where has Alice gone?"

"Miss Alice uses a very secret magic, and I judged it to be indestructive, so I didn't look into it further. ”

"That is to say......"

Yakumo Lan nodded: "The concubine doesn't know where Miss Alice has gone." ”

Not good news.

Mo Ming continued to ask: "Bayi Yonglin said that you took care of Reimu at the shrine, have you ever met Alice?"

"Yes. ”

"What did she say?"

Miss Alice asked about Miss Reimu. ”

Mo Ming nodded, thought for a while, and continued to ask, "Has she ever asked me about my situation?"

"Speaking of which...... There is such a thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

Miss Alice mentioned that she had been to the Samtogawa River. ”

Mo Ming snapped his fingers, the key message.

Sideways shrugged his shoulders to Gu Mingdijue, and pretended to whisper: "Look, this is a big man, he will never take the initiative to explain things to you, but he also doesn't disdain to lie, provided that you have to ask the point, otherwise she will pretend to be stupid there." ”

Yayun Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The concubine body has already known that she was wrong. ”

"If you know that you are wrong, you should come out as soon as I call you, instead of waiting for me to use violence, it's not good for this barrage to hit the flowers and plants?

Gu Ming Dijue on the side tapped the earphones with his right hand, and his eyes wandered over the two of them.

Yakumo Lan bowed deeply.

"Three things, first, send me and Miss Satoru to Santuchuan together. ”

"Wait, I don't think I promised......"

"Please!" Mo Ming turned to the Jue Monster, clasped his hands together, and became solemn and sincere.

Gu Ming Jijue remained silent.

"Please!"

"Because it's Alice. ”

"Understood!"

"You owe me too. ”

"No problem," he turned to Yakumo Blue again and bundled his second finger, "Take the dumplings on the table in the house to the shrine and eat with Reimu for lunch." ”

"Okay. ”

Yakumo Lan came out shortly after entering the house, still empty-handed, thinking that he had been put into the gap.

"Third, help me secretly investigate the immortal named 'Ibaraki Kafan' in the shrine, and observe what her intentions are, what her three views are, what her attitude is towards humans, and what is her attitude towards youkai?"

"Lord Mo Ming, Lord Ibaraki and Lord Purple are both sages......

"Since you are a sage, why haven't you shown up in the past? It's about Reimu, be careful, beware of the dark lights, I trust you and help me with this. ”

“…… Yes, sir. ”

"Then, without further ado, send us to Santu River first. ”

"Okay. "The gap opened.

Mo Ming was about to set foot when he suddenly stopped.

"Suddenly I remembered one more thing. Mo Ming frowned.

"What?"

"I remember that you took care of Reimu at the shrine not long ago, and when you were cleaning, did you see a fist-sized doll...... The clothes were similar to the ones I was wearing, and maybe a little torn. ”

"I've never seen it. ”

"I see. ”

There are countless other worlds that transcend the scale of time, but they are theoretically impossible to reach, and it is even more impossible to pinpoint the one where they once were......

But it's not impossible, Reimu has done it. It's unclear what she did, but it's most likely related to the faded ribbon she brought to her grave.

Yakumo Purple has also done it, but the ability of this monster sage is unpredictable, and it is really difficult to guess.

I've spent my life studying space magic, and I've long known a lot about it.

If you want to orient yourself to that world, the most important thing is the medium.

The stand-in doll that had a connection with herself was most likely taken back by Alice.

The biggest problem is that if he is still in Sweetnes and Alice has a way to get here, he is now in Gensokyo......

If you use your own puppet, who is it for?

I hope Santuchuan and his entourage can give an answer, and the worst plan may be to take a huge risk and return to that world again.

The worried Mo Ming pulled Gu Ming Dijue into the gap.
