Chapter 132: Serendipity
The Lake of Fog seems to be an isolated world, the lake is full of white fog reflecting the morning sun, but the land around the lake is very warm, which makes Kenya feel very wonderful.
Kanako Yasaka once mentioned that Gensokyo rarely has volcanoes, and even if they do, they are dead. The few of them are also occupied by tengus, and if you can find geothermal energy in the land around them, it means that this place is very close to Mt. Yokai.
According to Kamishirasawa Huiyin, after passing through the beast path is the Lake of Mist, and beyond that is the Nameless Hill, and further ahead of the Nameless Hill is their final destination.
Kenya didn't understand what the words Sun Flower Field meant in Gensokyo, and he was always looking forward to what it would look like there.
Now Iki is changing the dressing for his wounds, and he has no ability to move himself, so he has to wait quietly while doing what he has to do and not causing trouble to others.
Sitting on a large rock, looking at the small fish swimming in the clear water, after a moment of silence, Kenya asked.
"How can I defeat the Great Youkai?"
This is a very direct question, and it is also a very ignorant question.
The power of the Great Yokai is obvious to all, and the strength of different Great Yokai varies depending on the type of Yokai and the years of experience.
How can there be an answer to such a thing?
If this question can be answered, then Mizuki Ihime, who can repel the Eight Tengu, must be the best candidate.
Jian Ya knew very well that he would inevitably encounter one mountain peak after another on the road to challenge the strong, and he had already realized it, but he had been vaguely touching a threshold, but there was no progress, and now because of the oppression of Jiukong Xun, there was a very heavy pressure in his heart, so he subconsciously asked.
Mianyue Yiji looked at him and whispered, "Sir should think about it for himself. 」
Kenya put his hand into the cool lake water, scared away a few small fish, and said after thinking for a moment.
"I thought strength and experience were important things, but now I find that confidence is what I need the most, and I have to believe that I can beat him...... They. 」
In this regard, Kenya's experience is indeed unusual, thanks to the Eight Meanings Kenya, he was born with superhuman swordsmanship and talent.
The existence of the Budu Imperial Soul allowed him to cross the threshold of the years, and he could directly control a large amount of spiritual power.
But now that he looks at the big monster that can't be defeated no matter what, his desire to become stronger is even stronger.
However, looking at the fish swimming freely in the clear water, looking at the fish that were scared away by him in the distance and still seemed overwhelmed, he knew very well what he was missing the most now.
In the Eternal Pavilion, he promised Huiyin and Yonglin the same, but that was just a way to force himself, not that he really had confidence, who would have real confidence in the face of an enemy with a body like iron, a strange power like a mountain, and faster than the wind?
The road seems to have come to an end.
For the first time, Kenya became confused about his kendo.
Mianyue Yiji fastened her bandage, followed his gaze into the lake, and said, "Isn't the gentleman confident?"
"I always thought I was an ordinary person, and even after I realized that I wasn't ordinary, I still did what I wanted to do. You know what? A few days ago, I was just a trainee teacher in the dojo, and now I'm a great swordsman who can be hunted down by a group of monsters. 」
Kenya looked at her gaze and said seriously.
"A lot of people are looking forward to my performance, and both Huiyin and Meihong trust me, but my self-confidence is getting weaker and weaker, because I can't see my future path in the face of such strength. 」
Mianyue Yiji's eyelashes trembled slightly, not knowing what to say.
"I've always resisted the Eight Meanings Sword Ya, resisted that possibility. Even swordsmanship I tried my best to follow my own path, but in the end, I still had his imprint in the eyes of everyone. The thought that I would go down that path no matter what, I felt that the world was really boring. 」
She looked at Jian Ya and sighed.
"Sir must not know how strong he is now. 」
Kenya wiped the water from his hand on the green shirt on his chest and laughed at himself, "A little stronger than the students in the dojo?"
Yi Ji shook her head and said, "Sir is only one step away from seeing through the obstacles of knowledge, if you break through, you can attain the status of an arhat, and your status is far superior to that of a monster. 」
Kenya stared at her face, completely speechless in shock.
"Now there are so many causes and effects and possibilities that I can't tell what he will become when he sees through the obstacles, maybe it's a celestial, maybe it's a god or a Buddha, maybe it's a monster......
Mianyue Yiji looked at him and sighed and said.
"Suffering, sorrow and joy never coincide, if you can see through it, you are a saint. Sir is so powerful now. 」
Jian Ya said incredulously, "According to what you say, am I not going to become a god?"
Mianyue Yiji looked at her and nodded, then frowned and added seriously, "Of course, among the gods I know, there is no one as weak as Mr. 」
The big monster is not untouchable, and he is a swordsman who is about to become a god?
If you say Yasaka Kanako, it makes sense that Suwako is a god, but a guy like himself who can't even do arithmetic problems, how can he look like a god?
Probably thinking of a young man who had been defeated by her in the past, her expression was slightly stunned, and she looked at Jian Ya and asked.
"Now, sir, do you have any faith? 」
Kenya woke up, patted his leg and smiled.
"The thought that in the future I will be respectfully offered to the Shrine Maiden of Hakurei, and that Huiyin will frame my failing scroll as a miracle, fills me with confidence. 」
Mianyue Yiji didn't expect his confidence to come from this, so he couldn't help but be silent, and said softly after a while.
"In addition to faith, we also need chance. When I was a child, I received a letter written by my teacher himself, and I read it in the middle of the night to break through my karma, hoping that my husband would soon come to his senses. 」
Kenya remembered the smoke above the world and nodded.
However, this kind of thing can't be forced, not to mention that Jian Ya felt a power in the dark, urging him to go to the Sun Flower Field quickly.
Just as he picked up the water of the Lake of Mists and wanted to drink it before heading for the Sun Flower Field, an old voice came.
"If I were you, I wouldn't drink the water here. 」
Following the voice, there was a stone with an old man on it.
And the old man.
Dressed in a green shirt.
