Inugotsu took a box from the room and placed it in front of Kenya.

"Half a moon ago, the Shikigami of the Great Sage of Yakumo came to Mt. Youkai with a certain box and delivered it to the Great Tengu-sama......

At noon, at Marisa's house, Inugotsu calmly recounts this past.

"Yakumo is one of the sages who founded Gensokyo...... And then the most important and powerful of them all...... It's just that she hasn't walked around the world for several years, so this time I saw Shikigami who came on her behalf...... We were also very surprised by this. 」

Youkai Mountain, Gensokyo, Great Sage, Great Tengu, and then ...... Yakumo.

One after another, the names that are interesting and impossible to ignore spit out from Inugo's mouth and appear in front of Kenya's eyes, and he can feel that a corner of this world is slowly opening up to him...... But he also knew that this was not the point now, so he just nodded and motioned for Inu to continue.

"She commissioned us to hand over this box dozens of days later...... That is, the messenger of Dragon Palace City, which will descend on the earth tomorrow, and finally be brought to the heavenly realm by her. 」

"Why did you let Yokai Mountain, not Hakurei's shrine maiden or herself, do it herself?"

Marisa, who was cross-legged by Jiro, suddenly looked up and asked Inugo.

"Take 10,000 steps back...... Whether it's a relationship or an identity, no matter how you think about it, it's all Hakurei's shrine maidens who are more reliable than you, right?"

In the face of Marisa's incomprehensible and aggressive tone, Inugotsu was not angry, shook his head and said.

"No, since the Great Barrier was opened, there was only one path in the human world that could lead from the ground to the Heavenly Realm—that was the only sea of Xuanyun that connected Dragon Palace City to the earth. And our monster mountain is the only place in the world, and it is also the closest to the sea of Xuanyun. Anyone who wants to approach the Xuanyun Sea must pass by the guards of the Monster Mountain, and the same is true for those who descend from the Heavenly Realm to the human world. 」

Jian Ya was a little surprised, "Heavenly Realm...... Is that where the immortals live?"

Inugo looked at Kenya and nodded.

"Yes...... Accuracy is not an immortal, but a celestial. The Celestial Realm is a place where celestial beings live, and only human beings who have given up their seven passions and six desires and achieved success in their cultivation can go to the Celestial Realm to become celestial beings. Legend has it that once you become a celestial, you will live forever and have an almost infinite lifespan...... But so far, whether I have traveled from the human world to the heavenly realm or from the heavenly realm...... It's become a kind of thing that only exists in legends, and the last time there is a record of the appearance of an envoy from Ryugu Castle was when Gensokyo was just established. 」

Immortals, celestials, dragon palace envoys, and Gensokyo.

Kenya carefully reflected on Inu's words and exhaled a long breath.

It's not a moment of excitement, it's not a moment of shock, it's not envy of the so-called infinite lifespan, but the words of the dog go away, which really makes Jian Ya's heart fascinated.

Fascinated、It seems to have fallen into a juvenile fantasy that has never been before。

What unfolded in front of his eyes was such a bright, wonderful, and intoxicating picture.

Full of the throbbing heart of the teenager, shouting-

- I want to see, I want to see, I want to hear, and I want to feel and challenge.

Heaven and man are a way of living, and a swordsman is also a way of living.

This is also living, living is oneself.

I want to go and experience this way of living differently from myself for a while.

When I think that there are so many ways to live in the world, Jian Ya's heart shakes, and he really yearns for it.

Inugotsu didn't interrupt Kenya's thoughts.

She knew that it was the first time she heard about such a huge world—those human beings who were different from outsiders and the world they saw in the eyes of ordinary people, and they would be shocked by her heart, but what she didn't know was that the human being sitting in front of her was thinking about how to climb those peaks with all her might, to take a look, to meet those different ways of living, to meet for a while, whether it was you who were free or free, or who was at ease with me?

……

……

Two white wolf tengu walked silently through the depths of the miasma-covered forest with heavy rain.

Miasma is a kind of filth unique to the Forest of Magic, and in contrast to the aura that is beneficial to cultivation in the world and scattered in the air, the miasma will not drift into the air, it will only sink to the ground. Miasma and aura are the two extremes of the development of things, and they are also a trajectory of yin and yang in the world.

Miasma is not as helpful as Reiki is for cultivation, and for most living beings, it is a fierce poison and poison that cannot be avoided. However, it is a rich fertilizer for plants, and unlike organisms that die slowly in miasma, plants grow more and more in miasma.

This place is in the center of all Gensokyo—and it's also the closest place to the dragon veins of this land. This is the source of all aura, and at the same time the birthplace of miasma.

One of the biggest characteristics of the trees in the depths of the Magic Forest is that they are huge, growing to a height of more than five meters after more than ten years, and they will also absorb and block the spread of miasma while blocking the sky and the sun from above.

Legend has it that it was at the beginning of Gensokyo's establishment that the Great Barrier unfolded. According to a certain formation, the Great Sage of Yakumo planted these trees in the center of Gensokyo, which led to today's forest.

The place where the two white wolf tengu were at this moment was the deepest part of the forest, and their feet walking on the damp earth did not make any sound, and the only sound in the air was the sound of rain hitting the leaves.

Even so, the movements of the two white wolf tengu were very cautious, covering their mouths and noses, and constantly looking around.

The white wolf tengu, who was looking for the dog, was divided into two units.

Some of them went down the mountain and along the river to look for traces of Inu-yo-tsuki, while the other party came to this place to follow the traces of the enemies who attacked Inu-Tatsuki according to the revelation of the shrine maiden of Moriya Shrine.

With the speed of the white wolf tengu, as well as the complex environment and natural miasma of this forest. As long as they distance themselves and hold their breath, except for the few who ignore the miasma and poison, they can chase down the white wolf tengu who has excellent lung capacity and runs away with all his strength in this environment.

Suddenly, a figure with a black hood suddenly fell straight above the two white wolf tengus, her iron fist pointed straight at the temple of one of them.

Although the trunk of the Enchanted Forest is thick and tall, the branches are no different from ordinary trees. But this man actually climbed to the top of the tree, hid in the leaves and wind and rain at the top, and avoided the miasma on the ground!?

At this moment, it rolled down, and it was as light as a small drop of water falling on the leaves, without the slightest sound, until it was close to the top of the heads of the two white wolf tengus, and the two tengu felt the strange wind and chill, and turned around suddenly.

Only at the moment of turning, one of the tengu saw the ever-expanding fist in his eyes, and he didn't have time to make any movements. The protruding part of the knuckles of the fist had already struck his temple, instantly cutting off the blood supply response to his brain, so that the horse chopping knife that he had been carrying in his hand as easily as a feather had just swung it, and it had already lost the strength to continue to go up, and slipped from his hand in a dejected manner.

A white wolf tengu fell to the ground.

The distance of five or six meters did not seem to have any effect on the man's next movement, not even the dirt under his feet did not splash a bit!

It was also at the moment when his partner fell that the other white wolf tengu threw the big sword in his hand with a resolute and powerful force without hesitation.

As long as the other party avoids the big knife and the moment his body stops, with the speed of the white wolf tengu on the ground, he can pull away from the distance of more than 100 meters, escape from here, and tell his partner that she is here!

However, what he didn't expect was that this black figure had no intention of avoiding the broadsword at all, and just rushed towards Tengu simply and straightly.

Immediately after, clench your fist.

At this moment, the rain is still falling in the Forest of Magic. It's just that in the midst of such a fragment, the raindrops seem to be falling at an unusually slow speed, like crystal clear pearls.

Everything was like slow motion, the flying blade only moved more than a meter in the air, and the plump pearl cut by the blade and the splash of water had already hit the fist!

There was a crisp snap, and the fist didn't shy away from it, allowing it to collide with the blade, and then smashed into the white wolf tengu's chest.

The White Wolf Tengu felt like he had hit a real mountain.

He heard the sound of bones in his chest shattering.

He found that his body was actually pushed backwards by the other party and hit the trees, and even his feet were dragged out of two furrows on the ground, and the suffocation and severe pain in this moment made his chest and arms unable to exert strength, and then he could only watch the opponent's fist fall on his forehead.

……

……

There was a loud bang.

A huge tree suddenly fell.

As the rain poured down from the fallen tree, the man simply reached out and wordlessly helped the unconscious white wolf Tengu to his unconscious companion, who was also unconscious.

After doing all this, she clenched her fists. Look at the trees falling—the exposed distance.

The iron fist of the blades collided, and not even a drop of blood was shed.

And in the distance - in the distance where the cooking fog rises.

It's the direction of Marisa's house in the fog and rain.
