October 3rd, 8 p.m

“”

The two looked at each other speechlessly

"Ahem" The shrine maiden couldn't stand the silence at first, so she slowly spoke, "Don't blame me, I didn't expect those tengu to even have an inaccurate weather forecast now."

"Hmm," Chong could only nod silently to signal that he understood

He didn't expect that Tiangong would not be beautiful at that time, there was a sudden rainstorm on the way they came, she panicked for a moment and did not control the strength of the flying technique, she could only watch herself fall under the tree, if it wasn't for a tengu who happened to pass by and kindly supported herself, I am afraid that it would be inevitable that she would not be able to get out of bed for a few days

"And I'm going to change my clothes, do you want to change them," she began, and now both of them looked wet, and it was really not easy to talk

"No, grateful," Chong decisively refused

"Don't worry, I also have men's clothes here, and my body is close to you," she said, "It's gratuitous, and I'm not so greedy for money that I even want this kind of money."

"So grateful" Chong nodded, he didn't care much about the image, but the other party was a shrine maiden, and he was embarrassed to talk to the other party like this, plus there were guns and medicine on the inside of his clothes, it would be very troublesome once he was soaked

"Then wait," she turned and walked towards the shrine room, "it may take a long time, and when you are thirsty, you can make a pot of tea, and the tea leaves are in the third drawer."

Chong took the opportunity to look around, the scale was not large, but it was stuffed with a bunch of strange ornaments, most of them were small things, and the rest had some charms and ceramics, among which there were glasses from the outside world, but they were broken, and the valuables like imperial coins and wind flags were not seen, and they were probably collected in the house

Chong glanced at the door number that was placed in the corner, and from the large and small repair marks on it, he could see that it was very old, but he had never heard of it at all

(Could it be a shrine from five or six hundred years ago?) Chong thought silently, but then put this thought on the back of his mind, impossible, if it was really a shrine five or six hundred years ago, then now it should be a shrine full of incense, and the witch in it should also be at the level of a god of the present, how could it be so shabby

Chong just lowered his head and thought silently, guessing the "origin" was a good way for him to pass the time, although it might take a little longer

What she saw when she came out was such a scene, Chong's brows were furrowed, her eyes were misty, and the fingers of her right hand were unconsciously tapping the floor with a strange rhythm, not even knowing that she had come out

Hakuri Reimu complained in her heart, and then decided to sit down and wait for him after some hesitation, after all, she still knew the most basic politeness

“？” Chong suddenly woke up, and his eyelids lifted to look this way

"What are you thinking" she said lightly, and then handed him the clothes in her hand, "If you want to wear it, it's better to hurry, the rain in Gensokyo is not as good as the outside world, although it falls shortly, but the humidity is very heavy, if you don't drive away the cold in time, you will suffer from rheumatism"

"Gratitude" Chong stood up and walked outside the shrine

"No, just go to the back room, there is a temporary shrine for worship, just cover up the statue," she stopped, "It's still raining outside"

"Your name?" Chong asked

"Reimu Hakurei, you can call me Hakurei, or a shrine maiden," she said, "your name."

"Chong, just call it that," Chong said, and then flashed into the back room

"Chong is a good name," Reimu glanced inside and muttered to himself, "The heart of the worshipper should be worshipped, and the heart of the protector of the god is like glass, if it is calculated by age, it seems to be right"

"Forget it, I just need to take care of the monsters, and leave this kind of thing to Purple to solve" Reimu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea

"Weird, when did you make the tea?" Reimu was surprised when she picked up the teacup and said, "Did I drink tea when I went out?" ”

"There are so many wonders today"

Ten minutes later

"I walked out of the back room slowly, and the ancient robe on my body always felt very uncomfortable

"It fits perfectly," Reimu said, glancing at him, "If I can, I'm going to start talking to you."

"Understood" Chong slowly walked beside her, and then squatted down a few meters away from her

"You're too restrained" Reimu frowned, "I'm not a mountain ghost, why be afraid"

"The habit he developed before" he had a strange sense of awe for the witch because of the teaching of words and deeds since childhood.,If it's in public.,If you're alone, he'll hardly take the initiative to speak.,I have to say that this character and "see a woman with a good figure will take a detour" and "spend too much money",It's not a good characteristic.,But there's no way.,The previous self was too stupid.,The good and the bad have been learned.,Now you can't change it.

"Yes, I understand" Reimu nodded, "Then you'll be fine, I'll try to finish everything when the rain stops"

"First of all, let's start with the place you are most interested in," Reimu poured another cup of tea, "I should have told you on the way here, this is Gensokyo"

"The Great Enchantment that does not exist in the present world, the outside world should explain it like this" Reimu took a sip of hot tea, and then frowned, "It's cold"

"That's how you understand, a secluded space where time flows normally, but space is chaotic and dangerous," Reimu stood up and walked to the locker to open the third drawer

"There is a connection between here and the outside world, people from the outside can come in, but people from the inside can't go out, except for a few people with superior strength" Reimu re-brewed a pot of tea

"Generally speaking, the way to come in is to find the Hakurei Shrine that is stored in the outside world, and then visit it once," Reimu sped up his tone while waiting for the tea to boil, "but there are also some unlucky people who have unintentionally touched the edge of the barrier and are pulled in by the barrier itself"

"I have two questions about what I said just now, one: how big is the space itself, and two: what is the barrier itself" Chong interrupted, although he was not very polite, but he really couldn't help it

"I can't find a standard to measure Gensokyo, so I tell you, Hakurei Shrine is the door, and the Forest of Magic is the center, and there is a difference of thousands of miles between the two, and there is a separate space in the enchantment" Reimu thought for a while and replied, "As for the question of what the enchantment itself is, I don't know, if it was the ancestor, I might know, but she is no longer there."

"I don't know if you can understand the following words, if you don't understand, I recommend you to go to the world to find the barnyard field, and she will explain it to you."

"Xenodimension, that's what magicians call this place," Reimu said word by word

"Huh" Chong immediately stood up, his face was surprised, he naturally understood what this noun symbolized

The world is a whole, and the space that is independently divided in this whole is called a dimension, the human world is a dimension, hell is a dimension, and heaven is also a dimension, but in addition, there are not those known kingdoms, but other worlds that do not exist in reality, such as the dream world, which is a strange country that some specific people will dream of in their sleep, you can

The magicians' spatial prowess is unrivaled, both scientific and mysterious, and they were the first to prove the existence of the dream world, and found a deeper existence, called the "root".

They speculated that the dimension was not divided in advance, but artificially divided it, and created creatures from it, and they had boldly experimented with separating a space from the present world, and then they made the rules, although they did not succeed, but they proved their conjecture, because the divided space is indeed empty, and this also proves that space can be divided, and that realm is called a different dimension by them

Maybe no one understands the reason why he is excited, it is because the order in the different dimension is very chaotic, not to mention whether people can survive in it, it is very difficult to create a different dimension, but Hakuri Reimu said that the area here is as high as thousands of miles, and there are other spaces in it, plus this is the same ecological environment as the outside world

This is a miracle, it is impossible, unless you are an archmage, and you are proficient in space magic, and you have to prepare for hundreds of years before breaking the order of time and space and the inhibition of the world, it will never be possible, and the time it takes alone is enough to drive people crazy

"Looks like you get it" Unlike Chong, who was rarely surprised, Reimu was very calm, and so were the other people who lived here

For them, it is enough to be alive

“…… And then it's mostly youkai who live here?" Chong took a few deep breaths and sat down again, this place was not as simple as he thought

"Well, about four-fifths of them are youkai, and humans can only live in the human world, and it is said that they were brought into Gensokyo by accident" Reimu poured the boiling hot water into the teapot and stirred it gently, "As long as they don't go out at night, someone will naturally protect them, such as me"

"How many hundred years have you lived here?" Chong asked

"No, I'm a human, I'm only sixteen or seventeen years old now" Reimu said lightly, "According to the regulations inside, the Hakurei shrine maiden is the one who coordinates the balance between monsters and humans, so this name is passed down from generation to generation, of course, there are some shrine maidens whose names are not called Reimu, and some simply don't have names"

"Then you are"

"I can't remember clearly, let's not say there are more than twenty generations" Reimu touched the teapot, "It's so hot!" ”

"Staying here all the time?"

"No, sometimes I have to go to the outside world to repair the entrance, as I said, the enchantment itself will also bring people in, I want to prevent this from happening" Reimu glanced at Chong, "After all, if you come in, you can't get out"

"I have to go out" Chong said lightly, but his eyes were resolute "I have to go out"

"Okay, I'll teach you a way" Reimu put the teapot down, and then pointed to the front of the shrine, "Go down from here and you'll see a forest, it's called the Forest of Magic, you go and bring back three kinds of grass in it, "Eternal Night", "Spring Snow" and "Red Mist", their colors are white, blue and red, they can't fall to the ground after uprooting, they can't enter the water, as long as you can bring them over, I can help you open a gap at the edge of the barrier"

"That's it?" Chong asked

"That's it, I have the rest of the "Earth Spirit" and "Wind God" here, but you better be careful, it is full of monsters that have not grown into human form, and they want to attack. The hope is very strong" Lingmeng said lightly, "Don't ask me why I don't pick it myself, these grasses will wither as soon as they perceive the demonic power and spiritual power, and I have the rest here"

"He didn't finish picking what was left of a man before, so he died"

"Understood" Chong nodded, and walked straight out of the shrine

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to remind you, this matter is very important," Reimu's voice came from behind, and she stopped, only to feel her voice grow more and more ethereal

-- When he looked closely, he realized that he was already in darkness

"There's one person you run aside! The farther you run, the better! ”

"Click" blood-red eyes opened, and countless touches. The hand stretched out from it, and he sank deeper and deeper

Different from this scene, a young woman is standing in the middle of her eyes with an umbrella, her eyes smiling, and her demeanor is varied

"Her name is"

"My name is "Gentle Seduction." A voice of confusion rang out

"The Sage of Youkai - Yakumo Murasaki"

Note 1: The universal main culprit Yakumo Zi appeared, and he was going to use someone else's, but he couldn't find a second one

Note 2: There's nothing to complain about the name of the herb.,The original name of the mutation was taken by Reimu.,According to the cultural level of Reimeng.,This elegant name must have been heard from other places.,By the way,The name of the herb is the mutation plot I want to write.
