Chapter 18: Hakurei Shrine
Walking through the animal worship path, Ouyang came to the atrium of Hakurei Shrine, where a kagura performance is now taking place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
It wasn't Reimu who performed on the atrium stage, but the pink-haired masked girl. Her Kagura dance is less solemn than Reimu, more spiritual, and feels closer to human.
Qin Xin, this is the name of the pink-haired girl.
It is said that it was originally a mask spirit, and it is one of the examples of props growing into youkai, and it is the same as the Ninety-Nine Sisters and Horikawa Thunder Drum, who are accompanists.
Almost all the humans who came to worship stopped in front of the stage and watched Qin Xin's dance. Neither the residents of the original Kinkai nor the outsiders who entered Gensokyo, had never seen much of a real Kagura dance.
In the crowd, there were two unique beings, wearing big windbreakers and hats, standing on both sides of the stage and admiring Qin Xin's dance.
Maybe ordinary people can't feel their existence, they all deliberately let their sense of existence be lowered, so that others can't notice them, but in Ouyang's eyes, they are unusually conspicuous.
"Holy White Lotus and the Son of God? Sure enough, as said in the news, they pay attention to Qin Xin very much, just like parents. ”
After taking a look at them and recognizing these two unusually conspicuous Buddhist and Taoist sect leaders, Ouyang lost interest in them. Anyway, these two are now in the state of fool parents, and Qin Xin is no different from the daughters of the two of them at all.
In the atrium of Hakurei Shrine, there is a map of Gensokyo set up by Yakumo Murasaki, which dynamically shows the state of the entire Gensokyo, sealed in a large ball. The ball floats in the air, and below it is a Japanese-style garden pond that occupies most of the garden area, and there is a wooden bridge built over the pond for people to pass through, and you can see carp swimming in the pond when you walk on the bridge.
"Ahh
After not visiting Hakurei Shrine for a while, Ouyang found that the wishing pond he had last seen had been converted into a Japanese-style garden pond with some carp stocked inside.
"It's a pity, I wanted to throw some coins down." Retracting the coin in his hand, Ouyang walked across the wooden bridge.
As soon as he stepped off the wooden bridge, a plain white little hand reached out in front of Ouyang.
Reimu, dressed in a gold-trimmed and gorgeous red and white shrine maiden costume, is standing on the edge of the bridge, wearing a shrine maiden costume for Kagura dance that is only worn at the annual festival.
"Lingqiao experience fee 100." With his eyes half-open and his spirit slightly tired, Lingmeng charged Ouyang to him.
Hearing Lingmeng's words, Ouyang looked back and didn't find a sign with a notice for bridge tolls.
"Don't look at it, the special service during the festival should have been written into the notice."
"Oh." Ouyang was a little speechless and took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to Lingmeng.
However, Lingmeng took back the hundred-dollar bill that Ouyang handed over, and handed his other hand to Ouyang.
"Bring it!"
“…… What to bring? Ouyang didn't understand, didn't he just give the bridge toll.
Lingmeng stared at Ouyang, approached Ouyang and whispered, "I heard it all just now, you want to throw a coin into the wishing pool!" Since you want to flip a coin, I can also satisfy you. I'll pick it up anyway, so just throw it at me. ”
Hearing Lingmeng say this, Ouyang remembered that it seemed that the previous wishing pool would be clean every day, and thought it was the special design of the wishing pool, but he didn't expect that it was Lingmeng who picked up all the coins.
"Well, the wishing fountain is gone, so it's free."
"Uh-huh!!" Ouyang's words drew a glaring glare from Reimu.
"For such a small amount of money, it is not enough! Okay, good, I'll give. Seeing that Reimeng was showing signs of anger, Ouyang immediately took out the coin he had prepared earlier and handed it over to Reimeng.
So Reimu immediately turned his anger into joy, and led Ouyang to the main hall of the shrine with a smile.
The main hall of the shrine is a cash box with a large copper bell and a string on top of it, which allows you to ring the bell for worship. Next to the cash box stands a notice board indicating the price of the rattle.
"Yo! Brother Ouyang, you were also blackmailed by Reimeng! Sitting in the hallway on the side of the shrine, Marisa greeted Ouyang.
"Marisa, you're there too." Seeing Marisa, Ouyang didn't plan to ring the bell, and walked directly towards Marisa's position.
Reimu didn't stop Ouyang's actions either, anyway, she had already succeeded in blackmailing a sum of money, and now she was waiting for the next unlucky guy to go on the bridge.
"What's going on with this?" Pointing to the pool that stretched across the atrium like a river, Ouyang asked Marisa.
"Well, it's said that it's because Yakumo Purple really can't stand it and Reimu goes to the Wishing Pool every night to pick up coins, so she changed the Wishing Pool to this. There is also a carp that eats metal inside, and if a coin is dropped, it will be eaten by the carp. For this, Reimu seems to have gone to the Lost House to find Yakumo Purple to settle accounts. Hearing Ouyang's question, Marisa talked eloquently, compared to Ouyang, Marisa and Reimu have a closer relationship.
Hearing Marisa's narration, Ouyang remembered that Reimu still had the setting of a poor witch. I didn't think Reimu was greedy for money before, but now I feel that Reimu is developing more and more in that direction.
After talking for a while, Marisa noticed the overcoat Ouyang was wearing.
"Huh? Isn't this the clothes Alice made by that guy? I didn't expect it to be for you, I really can't see it! ”
Pushing Ouyang with her elbow, Marisa bent her eyes and asked Ouyang, "Brother Ouyang, when did you hook up with Alice?" I live near Alice, why don't you know? Could it be ...... You were in the midst of Alice's coming? ”
Just hearing Marisa say that the blood was made by Alice, Ouyang was a little stunned. Isn't this what Yonglin paid herself? How could it involve Alice again. Then he reacted, I'm afraid this is the battle life fiber made by Yonglin, and then handed it to Alice to sew into clothes.
“…… This was given to me by Dr. Yonglin to treat my illness. Pulling the clothes off his body, Ouyang replied with a smile, "As far as I can guess, Alice should accept some orders for custom-made clothes." If you go, you'll definitely get a better outfit. ”
"Yes. Go back and try it and ask Alice for a dress. Marisa flicked her worn-out clothes and said happily.
"But when you talk about illness, what is it?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just ......"
Ouyang will then tell Marisa what happened to him. Because of the rapid increase in ability, he is unable to maintain his human form, and he needs to suppress his ability and use auxiliary items to maintain his human form.
After listening to Ouyang's narration, Marisa suddenly realized, "No wonder when I saw you at the Eternal Pavilion that day, you became a slime!?" ”
"Huh? Were you there that day? Have you stolen everything to the Forever Pavilion? ”
"It's rude for you to say that! I'm not stealing, I'm borrowing, a magician, can I say stealing? I went to the Forever Pavilion that day to get custom-made materials, materials for food magic. ”
"So, Marisa, your sacrificial magic is complete?"
Waving her hand, Marisa smiled, "Not yet, the materials and magic array are ready, but they are just about to be implemented in the end." But I'm waiting for Reimu, and Patsy said that my physical development hasn't stopped yet, and I'll wait until my body is no longer developing before performing the sacrificial magic. ”
Looking at Reimu, Ouyang's eyes turned blood-red, which was his ability to act on the eye area to increase perception. In the field of vision, most of Reimu's body has turned golden, and there are golden points of light in the sky that continue to merge into Reimu's body.
"The apotheosis of Reimu is almost complete? It's not that the Shrine Maiden of Hakurei has ...... all her life."
Marisa patted Ouyang on the shoulder and said, "When did you turn this old calendar?" The faith accumulated by generations of Hakurei shrine maidens is now all in Reimu's body, and ah, with the expansion of Gensokyo, Reimu is able to gain more faith. Wait and see, Reimu will definitely become the god of Hakurei before she dies, DA☆ZE! ”
“…… Are you going to wait until you become an old woman yourself before you do the sacrificial magic? ”
"How is that possible!" Tapping his hand on Ouyang's chest, Marisa replied in a cheerful voice, "I definitely want to keep myself as a young and invincible beautiful girl!" ”
