Whether it is Yingli politics and beauty, or the only god, the tragedy or comedy of the evolution of human history can not only be reflected in the observable self of human beings, but also in the places that human beings cannot discover, but according to the principle of "what is not observed is about non-existence", this event itself has little meaning to human beings, but it is of great significance to gods and monsters.

"The message of this is meaningful," Kanako said as if jokingly, "that it tells everyone how precious freedom is." ”

Miss Kanako's words were an irrefutable truth, but they sounded harsh to me, "Please stop making fun of me and Marisa." ”

"I'm not ridiculing you, what I'm trying to say is that even if the only God can't face up to himself in terms of human nature, no matter how high-end the way of existence is, it can't be free, and the unfree will can't be regarded as the complete will."

"......" It instantly reminded me of Shanghai, and the situation in Shanghai is exactly what Ms. Kanako said, and I have always been committed to making Shanghai acquire the ability to truly know itself, so I have a clearer understanding of what Ms. Kanako said.

"I have a vague conclusion," I continued, "no matter who you are, whether you are of race, occupation, or what you think, the path of cultivation can be roughly regarded as a process of discovering yourself, facing yourself, understanding the external world, and then re-understanding yourself." ”

"It's a very self-centered concept at first glance, but it's pretty much the same."

That's pretty much the end of the formal conversation, but to tell you the truth, in this day and age when entertainment is almost the essence of Gensokyo's daily life and even the inner spiritual foundation, it's rare to talk about a topic that is closely related to one's own or other people's secrets, and even the exchange of experiences and questions about the study of magic envoys between me and Patchy rarely involves our personal spiritual realm, except for the relevant ones in the worldly topics, which often contain some lifestyle issues, Compared to talking about practice, it doesn't go deep into the spiritual level of the individual – the depths of the soul.

Although this is not the first time that I have had a conversation with Miss Kanako, Pacy and I had talked about spiritual practice several times years or even decades ago, but I was too young to be aware of many issues and could not talk about them, and because my personality was slightly different from that of me today, my several discussions with Patchy did not lead to many meaningful conclusions. As for whether this in-depth conversation with Kanako is more meaningful than ever? It takes time to reach a final conclusion.

"Does Miss Alice usually prefer black tea or ordinary non-fermented tea water?"

"I personally don't care much about this, it mainly depends on the environment, for example, if you are a guest in the Red Devil Pavilion, it is natural to drink black tea with the host to be in line with etiquette, and it doesn't matter if you are at home."

"Where's the shrine?"

"Because it's all inventory left by Reimu, it's basically a very ordinary tea."

"Oops, because I have always maintained the identity of a god, it is not convenient to visit the Hakurei Shrine as an official visitor."

"Isn't it okay to direct the work as a human being?"

"The time has not come, the time has not come." Miss Kanako said perfunctorily.

"What more time do you need?"

"I'm referring to Suwako, in short, not in a hurry, not in a hurry."

"By the way, when Hakurei Shrine usually holds banquets, don't you and Suwako-chan often attend?"

"It was the gods who attended the banquet, not ordinary guests, and even if there was no difference in performance, but the root cause of the problem was not solved, it was still the same sentence, and there was no hurry. Perhaps the mutation caused by Alice, which is not an anomaly, will be a small opportunity. ”

Is it okay to suddenly become so laid-back?

"No problem." Miss Kanako said as if she was succumbing.

"Can I still ask any more gossip about the gods?"

"Of course, it's rare that someone wants to hear it, and the person who wants to hear it is a cute shrine maiden, so that's even better."

My hands stiffened for a moment as I held the teacup, "Please stop using clichés." ”

"Aha, is that so?"

"I want to ask if the relationship between the gods is related to the legend or is that what it is? For example, in some stories, it is recorded that the Yasaka sword god and the name of the temple are husband and wife? ”

"So, word of mouth stories are always spread in categories and ways that people at the time could understand, in fact, the Yasaka Sword Traitor and the Kengomi are the same individual in the sense of personality, and the Kenyu Thunder God and the Kengomi are the same individual in a sense."

"Huh?"

"In ancient times, the gods blindly pursued faith without knowing what they were, where they came from, and where they were going, and it was the norm for humans to fight each other in the name of faith, but in fact, the source of various stories came from these intricate wars of different sizes."

Kanako said with some self-deprecation, "The power of the wind god is naturally embodied in the wind, which is an intuitive and simple understanding of human beings and a fact, but at that time, human beings did not quite understand that thunder and rain were also phenomena derived from the wind, so when a force other than the wind god appeared on the battlefield - thunder - the human association diverged, although I don't know what the first narrator to narrate the story thought, but the story gradually evolved into the one recorded by the ancients." Historical story', at first, it was the construction of the thunder god defeated and subdued the wind god Jianming Fangjin, and the power of the thunder defeated the wind - but on the real battlefield, it was the power of the wind and thunder that defeated and expelled the hostile unknown gods, and then, the construction of the name of the god evolved and differentiated into two godheads due to local political needs, the Yasaka sword god and the construction of the name of the godhead, these two godheads became husband and wife under the deliberate arrangement of human beings, which is completely unreasonable from the chronological point of view, but it doesn't hurt to look at it as a story. ”

I nodded in agreement with Kanako-sama's words, and continued, "If both wind and thunder had been revealed at the beginning of the battle as a god in the battlefield, humans probably wouldn't have such associations. ”

"Ah, that's what you're trying to do with your enemies. Throughout history, it has been common for the personality of the same god to divide into several godheads, but conversely, it has also been common for several human beings to understand the personality of a god to belong to the same godhead worshipped by humans. ”

"How can such a complex situation happen, is it the helplessness of humans or gods?"

"The complication here stems from the limitations of human cognition, the fact that human beings usually regard the object of worship as a unity of personality and godhead, because human beings do not know when the gods exist in the world and when they begin to be worshipped, and human cognitive expectations will divide the idols they have established in the past as well as the personality when they need to make a differentiation of the godhead, so in this case there is no fact 'birth' of a new god, but the same god has accepted a new faith that is different from the past."

"So the reverse is actually a legacy of historical acts such as religious mergers?"

"Yes, the merger of idols, i.e., godheads, does not and cannot merge the existing gods and goddesses as well, and this is what leads to the reverse situation in which several godheads belong to the same godhead worshipped by man."

"It's obviously an existence that has no basis in the concept of magicians, but it's also complicated to such an extent." I said, "There are many contradictions in the gods that don't have a human meaning, but they give birth to personalities, that is, gods like Miss Kanako, and they can't be straightened out." ”

"As long as it is a living entity with self-awareness, it is not something that can be summarized in a few words."

I thought about another aspect: "What is the explanation for the fact that Miss Kanako is the god of storms, thunder, and thunder and the god of the mountains in the human account, but in the book of Aqiu, she is described as the ability to create?" ”

"Miss Alice, can you understand the meaning of the word 'dry' itself?"

"Generally refers to the heaven in the concept of heaven and earth in the simple materialism, right? To explain it more specifically, the first hexagram in the I Ching hexagram is 'Qian', but I don't know much about Eastern philosophy and can only understand it to this extent. ”

"Basically, 'heaven' in a broad sense represents the entire universe beyond the earth, the planet we live in, and if the ability to create a dry degree is to create the universe, it is beyond the power of a few gods alone, and there is no way to start it."

ps: It's all ...... It's all the words of one family, and half of the words can't be true, so you just laugh at it......
