Chapter 17: Blood
To get to Hakurei Shrine from the earth, you must pass through the Shrine Trail, a masonry trail. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the past, because there were always youkai wandering around the animal path, humans rarely visited Hakurei Shrine. Now, when all Gensokyoto is entering the carnival of the festival, the residents of the human world are also coming to Hakurei Shrine to pay their respects, led by outsiders.
Because of this, the human beings in the human world began to understand the secret of this animal worship path.
When night comes, the weak yokai who live on the shrine path start to set up stalls on the shrine trail to sell things that the yokai find interesting, and these yokai shops attract many other yokai, so even if the weak yokai don't attack humans, the youkai who are attracted to it may be able to do something to humans who travel at night.
It's just that now that humans have become an important part of Gensokyo, there are fewer and fewer incidents of youkai attacking humans, and they no longer need to devour humans to survive, and humans are no longer their necessary rations. Therefore, even if humans come to worship the beast path at night, they will basically not encounter danger.
Besides, the weak youkai basically only come out at night to set up their stalls, and you won't encounter them when you come to Hakurei Shrine during the day.
Most of the goods sold by youkai are only of interest to youkai, and those things that are strange and incomprehensible to humans are useless. But there are also things in these stores that are suitable for humans.
Misty Lorela, the Night Sparrow Youkai, is one of the weaker youkai who lives near the Shrine Path.
Misty may be unknown in the human world, but she is famous in the world of youkai. Misty runs a mobile barbecue stall selling grilled eels in the Shrine Trail, and has won many loyal customers for her unique barbecue skills.
It is said that the reason why Misty opened a barbecue stall was that when she was preyed on by a ghost, she recommended an eight-eyed eel to replace her, but the other party commented that the eight-eyed eel was not delicious, and she was eventually bitten, and there were comments that there were too many small broken bones in the night sparrow. Misty didn't care much about her own evaluation, but she couldn't be satisfied with her evaluation of the eight-eyed eel anyway.
The eight-eyed eel is Misia's favorite food, and in order to prove the deliciousness of the eight-eyed eel, Misty opened this barbecue stand on the animal path. At first, when Misia had not mastered the barbecue method, she couldn't even eat the eight-eyed eel she made, but she still worked hard to improve her skills, and finally made a very delicious grilled eight-eyed eel.
At first, Misia's barbecue stall only sold roasted eel, but as the number of customers increased, the simple dishes could no longer meet the needs of customers, and Misty began to sell other varieties of barbecued food. Now, after the cataclysm, Misia's menu is no longer limited to barbecued food, but also sells a variety of other types of food, and can be made with ingredients provided by customers, and her mobile barbecue stand has been fixed into a restaurant with more than a dozen seats.
Late night finch canteen.
This is the name of the restaurant that Misty now runs, a small restaurant located next to the Adoration Trail that is only open at night. During the day, when you pass by the animal worship path, you can see a small restaurant looming in the forest.
Mistya's daily routine now consists of buying raw materials during the day and preparing them for use at night. Her main suppliers are the god sisters of Senba Mountain, as well as her own fishing traps, and she occasionally comes to the world to buy some seasonings.
It is said that an outsider approached Misty through a kappa and prepared to breed the eight-eyed eels in captivity, so that Misty would no longer have to make her own fishing traps to catch the wild eight-eyed eels.
After seeing the wooden house in the forest on the animal path, Ouyang approached at the request of the blood, saw the finch canteen that was closed and closed for customers, and gave some explanations to the blood.
Today, during the festival season, many human residents visit Hakurei Shrine during the daytime. Ouyang was no exception, even if he didn't have such customs in his previous life, he now learned almost as well as the inhabitants of the human world.
Ouyang was wearing a trench coat with black and red as the main color, the pattern under the collar was like two yellow eyes, and the lines on the hem formed a large open mouth, which looked like a human face with an open mouth from the front, of course, it was abstract.
Before the Great Sacrifice, Ouyang had received blood from Ling Xian, which was a very good reward mentioned when he purified Yonglin's blood last time, and now it was worn by Ouyang.
The clothes woven from the fibers of battle life were named divine clothes by Yonglin. There is a soul lodged in Ouyang's divine robe, or the divine robe has generated a soul since the day of its birth.
Blood.
This is the name of the divine clothes, and it is also the name of the soul of the divine clothes, and it is also the name of Ouyang for it.
Yonglin gave Ouyang such a special dress not just to help Ouyang dress up, although Ouyang did become more handsome after wearing it. According to the characteristics of combat life fibers, it can strengthen the functions of the human body, so that the human body can reach the limit state of the human body, and greatly strengthen the ability of human beings.
Maybe the ability to strengthen bodily functions is useful for other outsiders, but for Ouyang, as long as he enters the state of blood cocoon, his body will immediately become non-human, and his bodily functions are not at all comparable to human limits. It's just that every time he enters the blood cocoon, Ouyang's ability will improve again, that is, "deterioration of his condition".
In fact, Ouyang's "illness" is not a real illness, it's just that Ouyang's consciousness can't keep up with the growth of ability, and when the growth of ability slows down in the later stage, and the ability can be controlled after spiritual growth.
But, not now.
Blood can strengthen Ouyang's combat ability in the human state, allowing Ouyang to exert combat power similar to the state of blood cocoon. Of course, this is not the main role of blood, or it is not the most important role for Ouyang.
According to Yonglin, as long as Ouyang wears blood on his body, he can maintain his human state and strengthen the concept of humanity. It has a stable effect on Ouyang's "disease" and is an auxiliary medical product that can be effective for a long time.
And the blood itself has the ability to deform, it can be turned into any style of top, although the black and red color scheme cannot be changed, but being able to change the style has made Ouyang very satisfied.
In the first few days, Ouyang was still very unaccustomed to the clothes on his body and could speak, and he was a little worried about the eyes of others, but fortunately, the blood could only talk to Ouyang alone, and not let others hear, which made Ouyang feel a lot more relieved.
After a few days of adaptation, Ouyang had become accustomed to the blood following him, and began to replenish the knowledge of Gensokyo for the blood, mainly history and various character relationships. Although many of the character relationships that Ouyang knows are from Gensokyo fanfic creations and Wenwen News Supplements, there is a lot of false information in them, at least for this Gensokyo, but there is still some real information.
In other words, is it really normal for a news newspaper to have a supplement?
Anyway, at least the information Ouyang learned when he came to Gensokyo was enough for Blood to explain most of the things in Gensokyo.
[Now, Ah Chuan, how about we try the eight-eyed eel at night? 】
"Okay, if you don't say it, I forgot, I've never tasted the legendary roasted eight-eyed eel from Gensokyo. Come tonight. ”
Blood can absorb Ouyang's blood to experience Ouyang's feelings, so when Ouyang eats, blood can also be tasted. Ouyang now has a lot of blood and qi, enough for him to squander.
