If you think that the meaning of life is only to experience a lifetime, Penglai Elixir is just a common poison - although it is an incurable poison. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yes, this sentence is probably the reason why I remember this ordinary day of decades ago in great detail...... Is that so?

Even if I don't talk about the nearly 100 years since I became a witch, during the period when I lost my parents and studied magic alone in a small mansion until I became a witch, I never seriously considered the meaning and proper meaning of life...... And after death, there is the next life, the next ......

I don't know about this, so my life seems incomparably precious, this is the logic of ordinary people, and it is also the way of thinking that I have always adhered to, even if I learned the truth of life from Purple, I haven't thought carefully and updated my point of view, it's not that I can't figure it out, but I'm too lazy to think, the peaceful atmosphere of Gensokyo makes people unconsciously throw away a lot of things that should be thought about.

So, do I still think that this life is precious? After much deliberation, in the end I still hold on to my original idea, that is, whether there is a previous life or the next, this life must be cherished, and it makes no sense to pin hope on the next life or to miss the experience of the previous life - if I can miss it - because the previous life and the next life are viewed in the whole of life, and they are no different from this life, and the previous life also has its previous life and the next life, so if you do not cherish this life, it is equivalent to being abandoned by people in every life. It's no different from abandoning life as a whole.

Although I casually stick to my point of view, I cannot deny that there is some truth in the doctrines of some sects, such as the traditional Buddhist practice of cultivating the afterlife, which is very suitable for my perception at the moment, just like what I said to Kanako: If it is only for the sake of passing through one life, why should we do it again.

It is precisely for the sake of lifelong practice that I should cherish and implement my practice path, and the content of my so-called practice policy is nothing more than studying what interests me and being lazy from time to time.

It's also a boring thing to think about and argue about such a repetitive thing in life, and it's only when it's boring that it has enough meaning to think about, so it's necessary for me to continue my memories at this point.

His Royal Highness took a sip of the tea bowl and continued, "I seem to have said something that seems to make sense but is extremely stupid. ”

"What's that?"

"Life is not static," Kaguya said, "but the moonmen have spent millions of years in near-static conditions, which is an ironic reality." ”

"Well...... "I haven't been to the moon capital, and I don't know who the so-called moon people are, so I don't dare to make a judgment, but looking at the reality that the moon people still have a group of moon rabbit soldiers, I said, "You can't say it's completely still, right?" At least they know how to train an army that is not very reliable, but it is also a regular army. ”

"It's just a custom that has been passed down from time immemorial, not a sign of a sense of crisis," Kaguya said, "but it's a small blessing that a group of pets have learned to use weapons left over from the Earth era, and that the rabble hasn't been wiped out." ”

I don't know who or which group Princess Kaguya refers to, and I don't have much interest in knowing, because war is all boring after all, "Speaking of which, isn't the Moon Rabbit a Moon Man?" ”

"It's the most popular pet breed among the moonmen."

"It's too casual to let pets go to war."

"But there are very few moonmen, and since the change of the earth, the number of moonmen has remained stationary, and there has been almost no growth for millions of years."

But a group of moon rabbit pets has been bred, "From the words of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I feel as if it is a static society like an ideal country, and everyone is carefree." ”

"Basically."

"Whether such a society is good or not, it seems that there are opinions of opinion."

"Yes, but the Venerable One seems to be very satisfied when he sees him on a moonlit night."

"Ah......h

Although she has been away from the moon capital for a thousand years, Her Royal Highness still seems to think of herself as a member of the moon people, and she says, "But I don't like that kind of society. ”

"Is that so? Gensokyo doesn't seem to be more self-motivated than the moon today, and there are not necessarily more changes per unit of time than the month. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's better than the smoky outside world." Princess Kaguya dodged my question without taking it lightly.

Probably because the favorability has not been brushed enough, saving a Moon Rabbit soldier is not enough for Princess Kaguya to know everything about me, so if I am interested in Kaguya's affairs, I should also take some time to increase the level of communication with Her Royal Highness to a certain amount in order to satisfy my curiosity, "Regarding the Moon Capital people, does the so-called static refer to a single Moon Man or the entire Moon Capital society?" ”

"Both," said the princess, "for most of the lunarians, who have grown tired of thinking, it is an accessible attitude to life, but for a few heretics, like me, it is an intolerable circumstance. ”

"From a normal point of view, how could Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is an immortal Penglai people, not be able to endure the environment of the Yuedu people."

"These are two different things," Kaguya shook his finger in denial, "Surviving in a changing environment is also a very important experience for Penglai people, and people don't change, just because the social environment shouldn't change." And both of these sides maintain an eeriely static Moon Capital society, and perhaps Miss Alice will need to experience it for a while before she understands the unpleasant atmosphere I feel, and I, for millions of years. ”

"Is Dr. Yonglin like Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"I have to ask Yonglin."

It turns out that Princess Kaguya has maintained the status quo for millions of years? Compared with the millennium of Miss Fujiwara's beautiful time, there really is no reason to boast or complain.

"I feel a lot younger in an instant......" I said with some frustration.

"A million years don't mean more than a day," Princess Kaguya said, "and it's the experience that matters." ”

"It's funny that this comes from the mouth of a princess who lives in the bamboo forest all year round," I said, "but considering that Her Royal Highness is a thousand years old, it's not so incredible." ”

"Hmph."

My preliminary conclusion is that Princess Kaguya is an anomalous contradictory person, who likes to change but is content with the status quo within a certain time scale, and can even be said to be lazy and abnormal, which may be the after-effect of breaking free from the moonman lifestyle.
