Chapter 42: There is no one in this world
"Adventures through the ages?" A smile appeared on Kanako's serious face, "Well, if this path of cultivation can be followed, it will indeed be a precedent for the ages, and it will not only mean a lot to me, but it will also be a great event for Suwako, Kagiyama Hinata, Aki Xiangzi, Akishizuha sisters, and all the gods and spirits to come out of obscurity and face this ever-changing world."

"Where's Sanae?" Did the Autumn sisters turn out to be gods? Hina Kagiyama seems to be the ribbon girl in Marisa's mouth?
"Of course, it makes more sense for Sanae," said Kanako, "if the deification of human beings is a process of understanding the world, and the cultivation to a new realm—which is the path I am exploring at the moment—may be a process of rediscovering oneself, which may be more important to Sanae, as Miss Alice thinks." ”
"It seems that I am not only a witness at this moment, but also an auxiliary pioneer? I feel very honored. ”
"Haha, you're welcome," Kanako waved her hand, the wind was still, I looked up at the sky, I couldn't feel much "movement" except for the starlight, "Miss Alice, let's start now." ”
"Oh," I replied hurriedly, "that, how?" ”
"Take off your clothes." Kanako's expression was serious, without any hint of playfulness and obscenity.
When I finally took off the chest cloth, let the white cloth fall to the ground naturally, and then looked up, I saw that the gods were standing naked in front of me.
It was only after I took off my clothes that I felt the majesty of the gods, who were about half a head taller than me, and the difference in this half of the head gave me some oppression, but it did not aggravate the tension. Beneath my feet were glowing red runes, surrounded by the silence of the night, and I raised my head slightly to face the gods.
Perhaps the role of the talisman has gradually taken effect, and in short, I have completely calmed down.
"Very good," Gao Miao but straight to the bottom of his heart, as if above the nine heavens and like rising from his heart, Kanako's words are mysterious and charming, "Please close your eyes." ”
"Okay." I did as I was told, closed my eyes, and when my senses disappeared, I felt as if I had returned to the boundless realm of the mind, and everything became ambiguous.
The touch of the body is like a point of light in the dark night, distant and eye-catching, a spiritual light for the lost mind in the void, but I lazily do not want to pursue it surrounded by the gods.
And then, is it a sound or an invisible mind?
"Human beings—all beings who are born with intellect," is Kanako expressing her feelings in a way that speaks? "Born out of nothing, overcoming the threat of the environment, surviving, spontaneously opening your eyes, looking at this small but boundless world, gaining experience, having questions, taking it for granted, looking back at the world with the answers, learning that mistakes or proving true, sorrow or joy, becoming wiser, more ignorant, more curious, from looking down to looking around, looking up, looking up at the vast starry sky, capturing years, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of years until the first brilliance, asking about the universe, asking about yourself, and then, The Mind re-examines itself. ”
This is a summary of history from the point of view of the will.
"Magicians, witches, and people are here and there, the splendor of the outside and the spiritual light shining in the heart, in the end, converge into 'me'."
I couldn't help but say: "The eye of the magician, the eye of exploration, born from man, returned to man, since the beginning of the fetus, the power of nature creates a complete life, its closed eyes, urgently need to appreciate the ever-changing world, open its eyes for the first time in crying, the breeze is the spirit of nature, caress a little spiritual light of the newborn, bring the mysterious first greeting, waving hands, starting from the hazy tears, to welcome the lifelong hatred." ”
"Magician, was he born?" Kanako asked.
"Not born, but born, the joy of exploration is only for the eye of exploration, the confusion of exploration is only presented for the eye of exploration, and the eye of exploration illuminates the dark world." I say.
"Not bad."
"Curiosity is the initial motivation, the motivation to keep moving forward, the only motivation, the magician is like a baby, anxious, but gentle, trying to understand the world in an instant, but repeatedly stumbling, for an immobile arrow, for a falling apple, for the sun that rises in the east and sets in the west, for the time that never goes back, for the 'me' who sees those, I use the gaze given by nature to reflect the grandeur of nature."
"This is true of humans, of youkai, and of gods," Kanako became distant and elusive again, "curiosity is the driving force, the desire/desire, and the sincere vow, the gods intervene in people, the gods get rid of people, and the gods become humans." ”
"Simple people?"
"Innocent people."
In fact, as Miss Kanako told me before, I don't have to say a word, this alternative ritual will enlighten, operate, and end on its own, and Miss Kanako is realizing what it means to be human, confirming all her opinions throughout the ages, and I am just a trigger, whether I speak or not, everything at this time can be said to have little to do with me, but the effect of realization is mutual, Kanako is expressing her feelings, and I can't help but force my desire to speak.
So I said, "The magician observes the outside, observes the self, observes everything, sets everything, studies everything, and each magician has a unique setting, the world of eternal living fire, the world where all things arise from water, the world where appearances change and the constancy of reason, the world where there is a God, the world of the seven elements, the world where no one can guess, this is a mystery that everyone wants to guess but does not have to guess." ”
"If it's just for the sake of passing through a lifetime, why should people guess." Kanako said.
"If it's just to go through a lifetime, why should we come again, wash away the mixed desires, and look forward to eternal appreciation?"
"Man is like this, whether he is moving or still, speculating or letting go, living or dying, according to the covenant of nature, he is here in his own way."
"Originating from nature, breaking free from nature."
Scattered thoughts are continuous but incoherent, and Kanako seems to be close to distant in this mysterious realm of the mind, and there seems to be nothing.
"Why is Miss Alice obsessed with creating a consciousness?"
"Consciousness is also a mystery, a mystery that anyone can guess, anyone can get one or more answers, and this mystery in turn raises all riddles, so I'm interested in it, I'm interested in myself, and everyone should be interested in themselves."
"Is that true, it's also an irrefutable train of thought," Kanako said, "Then do you know the underworld?" ”
"Of course, but I don't know about the underworld."
"The underworld is a created world, and there are different opinions about who created it, but there is no doubt that it was a man who created it, not the constancy of nature - if man is classified as nature, it is still nature - the underworld is a world that contains consciousness, very similar to the realm of idealism that we see, but the underworld is like the mundane, which not only contains consciousness, but also contains things outside consciousness."
"Why?"
"The creator of the underworld hopes to use the underworld as a transition, so that the reincarnated life can look back and awaken to the gains of a lifetime after the end of one life, and if this gain is brought into the next life, the confusion of sentient beings will eventually be reduced, so the underworld has everything in the mundane, but it no longer has an exact body."
"But in my opinion, for thousands of years, people in the world have turned and gone without counting, except for the accumulation of knowledge, the confusion has not diminished, thinking has not been taken seriously, and the underworld does not seem to have played much role."
"Yes, less confusion is always filled with more confusion, which is a contradictory cycle that is difficult to extricate from. But in any case, the creator of the underworld made a grand vow. ”
"I think that the underworld may be a complete world created based on a realm of idealism similar to that that of Miss Kanako."
"Yes or no, it doesn't matter."
"By the way, why did you mention the underworld?"
"It's a whole world that holds consciousness, don't you think it will help your research?"
"Ah, probably, thanks for the reminder."
"You don't have to say thank you, I'm thanking you."
Kanako reminded me that I could open my eyes, and when I opened them, the red light on the ground faded, the wind blew again, and thin clouds drifted into the distance, and bright stars scattered over us in the night.
I picked up the shrine maiden clothes on the ground, put them on my body one by one, and when I finished equipping them, I saw that Kanako was already standing next to her in a red dress and a black dress, and it was very fast to take it off or put it on, I thought.
"I don't see how much Miss Kanako has changed." I say.
"When you plant an introduction, change is not in an instant, it's a gradual process."
"Will it make a difference when Miss Kanako becomes a person completely?"
"If you just look at the surface, it won't."
Judging from the darkness of the day, when the time was almost over, I said, "It was your ceremony, but I said more, and I think that it will be beneficial for me to come to the ceremony, so I will not say more if I thank you." If nothing else, I'll go home. ”
The logic of the words in the ceremony is not rigorous, but the words and sentences that come out of the two people's perceptions are piled up, meaningful or meaningless, understandable or not, and there is no need to think deeply about the situation where there are only two people present, she and me. So I'm not going to linger any longer, and I'm going to take my leave.
"Okay, be careful on the road," Kanako said, "I think Miss Alice is almost exhausted, and I'm pretty much the same, so how about you stay at Moriya Shrine tonight?" ”
"Forget it, Pacy is still at Hakurei Shrine, and she may need to be taken care of tomorrow, and it won't take much effort to fly back."
"If you insist, all right."
I waved my hand and flew towards Hakurei Shrine.
