Chapter 36: A shrine maiden who visits the shrine
A sea of green trees, the mountain path leading to the shrine is a splendid view, the spring flowers are just blooming, the short season makes these beauties that have been silent for a year soon die again, and the scorching summer temperature is the life-saving charm of these life, making them turn into the process of decay.
Hakurei Shrine on the mountain, there is no electricity, and there is no refrigerator from the outside world, if the stored food is not disposed of properly, it will soon be **, so it will be a bit wasteful.
The eaves cast a cool shadow, and the shrine maiden of Hakurei sat in the wooden corridor in front of the torii, looking out at the colorful world below, drinking tea and thinking so, with the plate of small round biscuits still sitting next to her. No one came to the banquet today.,A few days ago, the shrine was cleaned up by those who came here to find the lively youkai made a mess.,She knew that she had done useless work again.,Today I simply sat in front of the torii gate.,Enjoy the scenery down the mountain again.ă
"Gensokyo today is really a peaceful day. Reimu picked up a biscuit, took a bite of it, and stretched out comfortably.
In the distance, she saw two black dots in the sky gradually approaching, and as the distance shortened, the figure of the person who came gradually became clear.
Swallowing the remaining half of the biscuit in his hand, he looked down at the plate of delicate snacks, the tempting taste of cream faintly entered his nose, Reimu sighed and drank the tea in disappointment.
"Good morning, Hakurei Reimu!" Youmu, who was holding Fujiwara Ki in one hand, fell from the air in front of the doorpost and said hello from afar.
"Good morning, Miss Half-Spirit of the Underworld, and that strange human. Reimu said hello weakly, without any intention of getting up.
Letting go of Fujiwara, who was a little unwell because of the speed, Youmu stood in the open space between the doorpost and the torii gate, looking a little embarrassed. Today's Hakurei Reimu is still the same as the one that is, the same red and white witch costume, the new fabric is bright and bright, and I can't see the hole that Yuyuko made last time, and I think the witch should have changed again. After saying hello to Hakuri Reimu, the other party's reaction was a little flat, and the unfamiliar tone didn't sound very welcoming to him, which made Youmu not know what to do.
After Fujiwara Kiri, who was tossed by the demon dream and kept tumbling in his stomach, he finally found himself, and saw that the simple demon dream was a little helpless, so he carried the gifts, and Fujiwara Ki put them on the table in front of the shrine maiden.
However, when she received a gift that looked more delicate, the shrine maiden's expression was still so cold. Fujiwara Ki scratched his head, slapped his face in a sudden realization, then took a few steps back, stood in front of the money box directly in front of the shrine, took out ten copper coins, and put them in.
After the copper coins fell, they clanged against the wooden boards, some of which kept rolling on them, making gurgling sounds, as if the wooden boards under the money box were shoddy hollow wood, and the original faint rolling sound could be heard clearly in this quiet environment.
The wind stopped, the rustling trees silenced the noise in the background, and the scene seemed as if the sea of trees in front of Hakurei Shrine had completely disappeared, leaving only the gurgling cash box in the center of the world.
"Aha, it turned out to be the soul demon dream of the Xixing Temple family, and you, a human being, are you called, well, Fujiwara Ki, are you? Would you like a cup of tea?" Hakuri Reimu, who was originally sitting in the corridor, stood up enthusiastically, ran to the room and took out two teacups, and poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them.
Pulled by the courteous Hakuri Reimu to sit in the shadow under the eaves, Hakuri Reimu took the initiative to hand over the teacup and stuffed it into the hands of the two, and then asked with a smile: "What are you two doing here today, are you here to worship? In addition, I can also pray part-time, well, it is also possible to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits." â
Youmeng put down his sword and took the teacup handed by Bo Li Reimu, but he didn't have the heart to drink tea, ignored Reimu's warm greeting, and said straight to the point: "I'm here to convey a message for Teacher Huiyin." After a pause, Youmeng looked at Hakuri Reimu seriously, "There have been two small night walks of the hundred ghosts in the human world, and she wants to entrust Hakuri Reimu to help you deal with it." â
"Aha, aren't you here to worship, haha......", hearing Youmeng slowly finish talking about the things in the world, after laughing a few times, her smile gradually receded, her brows furrowed deeply, and her face became gloomy.
Holding the teacup tightly and taking a sip of tea, the Witch of Hakurei lowered her head and silently did not speak, and after a while, she exhaled and said in a deep voice: "I know, I will go." â
Youmu and Fujiwara Ki were both startled by the shrine maiden who got serious, and in order not to make the other party's mood worse, their voices couldn't help but be a little quieter. To be honest, the serious Bo Li Reimu does have a powerful aura, and the demon dream of the fellow cultivator can feel the bottomless spiritual power in the other party's body agitated, and the terrifying aura suppresses it faintly makes the demon dream a little uneasy.
The two guests gradually stopped talking, and Reimu stood up with the imperial coin beside him in his hand, looking at the two of them, "Well, is there anything else besides this?"
Naturally, there is still something to do, Fujiwara Ji secretly praised Reimu's way of treating people, and stood up solemnly.
Seeing Fujiwara's appearance, Hakurei Reimu moved back half a step with one foot, her brow furrowed slightly, and her fingertips ran across the wooden branch at the end of the imperial coin.
Standing in front of Reimu, Fujiwara Kiki said earnestly to Reimu, who was one forehead shorter than him, "Hello, Hakurei Shrine Maiden, I would like to ask you about cultivation. â
"Cultivation?" Hakuri Reimu, who was originally nervous, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, tilted her head and asked, and the huge bow at the ends of her hair also tilted to the side with her movements.
"Yes, because when I was practicing, I didn't know what was going on, there was an internal breath in the dantian, and the demon dream said that this is the power of Taoism, so there is no way to guide me, let me ask you to see if I can gain something. â
Shook the imperial coin, Reimu's left toe tiptoed on the ground a few times, as if thinking about what Fujiwara Ki said, pursed her mouth, her hand was on Fujiwara's shoulder, and her slender fingers pressed a few places under the shoulder bone, Fujiwara only felt half of his body numb, and he was almost unsteady on his feet, but
"It's a qi storage zĂ i, but why should I teach you?" Hakuri Reimu clapped her hands and sat back in her original position, she didn't promise Fujiwara Nori, but she didn't directly refuse, it seems that this matter is not without a little hope.
"Uh......" Reimu's words asked Fujiwara Nori, the other party really has no obligation to teach herself, and what can she bring in return?
"Shall I pay for my tuition?" Fujiwara Ki thought about it, isn't Hakurei Reimu obsessed with money, and if he uses his tuition to ask for advice, he should just meet the other party's preferences.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who is greedy for money?" Reimu sneered, looking at Fujiwara with mocking eyes.
"Isn't it? Fujiwara Nori muttered in his heart, although Hakurei Reimu has a great obsession with stuffing the cash box, but I haven't seen her take the initiative to ask for money with the money box, is it because she has done too much before, and it has no effect? Fujiwara Ki made the most malicious guess in his heart. But this kind of thing,Hakurei witch is a little disciplined.,Fujiwara Ki thinks about it.,I also think she shouldn't have done this.,So the witch who is greedy for money or something.,It's just my own imagination.ă
Fujiwara Ki thought about it seriously for a while, and said all the conditions that he could do, Hakuri Reimu lightly clapped his fingers on the table, and after a while, he said: "That's it, it's a banquet in a few days, if you stay to help, I'll teach you in the next few days, but the amount of guidance depends on your hard work." â
It's a banquet in a few days, and if you want to keep yourself, it's to find a coolie, Fujiwara Ki immediately understood what the other party was going to do, but compared to the things he learned, it was obvious that he earned it. But Bai Yulou is going to hold a banquet in a few days, although Yuyuko's reason for celebrating the addition of new members to Bai Yulou is not credible, but he must be present that day, so I'm afraid I won't be able to promise Hakuri Reimu.
Fujiwara Ki wanted to refuse this condition, but Youmeng agreed for him, "If it's only for a few days, it's okay, but I'm going to take him back to the White Jade Tower once in four days, okay?"
"Ha, it's so troublesome, then it's better to leave nothing at all. Hakurei Reimu was a little embarrassed, but still didn't directly refuse this matter, "I don't want to do a lot of things, really, why do you have to hold a banquet here with me." â
Reimu supported her head with two hands, hung weakly on the table, and buried her sideburns tied with red bands in her ears in front of her, and the girl's joy, anger and sorrow were all presented on her face: "Okay, I'll work a little harder then." â
"Well, okay, thanks. Since Reimu could agree to this condition, Fujiwara Ki thanked him happily.
Reimu was left on this condition.,Youmu wants to talk to Yuyuko-sama.,So after chatting for a while, I got up and said goodbye.,It seems that Fujiwara Kimi has been living in Hakurei Shrine by himself for the past few days to practice--It's not been a few days.,Fujiwara Ki has changed places again.ă
After Youmeng left, Hakuri Reimu looked at Fujiwara Ki with a smile, grabbed the imperial coin, and was also ready to go out, before leaving, Reimu advised: "Remember to help me clean up those things in the backyard, you can see the backyard bypassing the torii, I hope I can see your results when I come back." â
After saying that, Reimu flew, most of the girls in Gensokyo can fly, just like Youmeng who practices swordsmanship, although her speed in the air is not as fast as the ground, but after all, she can fly, which makes Fujiwara Ji, who can't get rid of gravity yet, particularly envious. Reimu in the air soon crossed the vermilion doorpost of the shrine, and in the distance, Reimu realized something, turned around and shouted, "Don't run into my room to peek at anything while I'm not there." â
"You think everyone is the kind of person who doesn't have a discipline, I'm not a voyeur. Originally, Fujiwara was ready to go to the backyard to see what task Reimu assigned him, but when he heard Reimu's words, he suddenly became angry and complained depressedly.
But Reimu flew away without looking back after shouting, and she didn't hear a word of Fujiwara's complaints, but Fujiwara Ki's words were completely mistaken except for the first half of the sentence that could hit the nail on the head.
The owner of the Hakurei Shrine is gone.,Fujiwara Ki is also going to start getting down to business.,Since you want to help her deal with these body jobs.,Let's be pragmatic.,The backyard is.,Is it behind the torii......
