Chapter 11 Xianglin Hall

At the end of the battle, Reimu and Marisa also saw the power of the Emperor, which was definitely not simple.

With this strength, as long as you don't provoke some difficult big monsters in Gensokyo, you should be able to live a better life.

"If you want to challenge it next time, I'll definitely accept it. However, it only doesn't interfere with my daily life. ”

The Emperor smiled and nodded, unequivocally agreeing to Marisa's request for a rematch.

"That's it, then I'm going to go back and study the tactics well, and I'll see you next time~"

Even the boyish Marisa blushed a little, and made an excuse to say that she got on a broom and flew away.

"Marisa is really hot. Well, I'm going back to cleaning up the fallen leaves. ”

Reimu sighed and didn't say anything to hold back.

"Then I'll take my leave."

The emperor understood the meaning of Reimon as soon as he heard it, and he didn't follow back, so he said goodbye to her directly.

After saying goodbye to Reimu, the emperor was also confused for a while, where should he go next?

"I knew that I should have asked Reimu just now."

Sighing in frustration, the emperor also knew that Dao Reimu did not welcome him, so naturally he would not go to the shrine to disturb her again.

Forget it, it's a big deal to identify one direction and keep going.

Although the overall distribution of Gensokyo is not clear. Even the people in the human world have never been impressed, because they will probably never leave that town and the surrounding places for the rest of their lives.

To go out and walk like the Emperor is a very stupid move in the eyes of the people in the world. In the words of the outside world, it is the act of death.

Looking at the direction, he was coming from the west, and the emperor decided to walk along the road from the shrine to the south, hoping to find something good.

It's noon, and most of the yokai are resting in the woods, except for a few daytime yokai, and there are hardly any human figures on the road.

I don't know if it's the emperor's luck, or if these little monsters are not hungry, they bumped into more than a dozen monsters on the road, and none of them planned to use the emperor to fight the tooth sacrifice.

At the moment, though, his good fortune seemed to run out.

A monster that had clearly failed to change stood in his way.

Gensokyo's monsters aren't all beautiful humanoids, most of them are the ones in front of you.

A large ape-like face, with thick body hair, limbs as thick as tree trunks, and a long tongue full of barbs stuck out of its grinning mouth. It's an ugly creature that doesn't look human, a pure-bred youkai who takes pride in the image of a monster and despises humans so it doesn't change into a human form.

This kind of youkai is the most abundant in Gensokyo.

"Hahaha, I wanted to hunt in the periphery of the world, but I didn't expect to be lucky, and I met one on the way. The outsider with fine skin and tender meat is just giving you Uncle Shantong a tooth sacrifice. ”

The fishy air flow erupted from his mouth with the words of the mountain boy, and the emperor who was still more than ten meters away frowned.

Although he didn't want to cause slaughter at will, it didn't mean that he could tolerate others stepping on his head, and besides, the goods in front of him were going to make the emperor snack on the spot.

"Cut, chopped. Still thinking about how this journey was so peaceful, I thought those people in the world were a bit exaggerated. Sure enough, there is still some garbage on the road that will pop out on its own. But, crumbs, weigh me and weigh myself! ”

Covering his mouth and nose, the emperor scolded and said.

The other party's tone was too unbearable, and the emperor was not ready to give him another chance to speak, and talking to this kind of rampage would only lower his style.

"What do you say......"

Enraged by the Emperor's words, the mountain boy was about to get angry, but found that the human on the other side who he had taken as a snack lightly stepped on the ground.

Suddenly, the mountain boy felt a little bad. He thought about how a person who dared to wander alone and had nothing to do so could be a weak person. He was too confident and contemptuous of humans as creatures, so he rushed up to him without thinking about it when he first found a lone person outside.

"Poof!"

Three thorns burst out from the foot of the mountain boy, and in an instant, the mountain boy was skewered. The blood of the stalls dripped down the feet of the mountain boy, and the earth was dyed red with blood in an instant.

"How could it be ......"

With blood foaming in his mouth, the mountain boy's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and struggled to spit out a few words.

As a mountain spirit, the mountain boy couldn't believe that he had been defeated by the power of the earth.

But by the time he was angry and wanted to fight back, he had no strength to move. It can only be hung in the air, waiting to be dried like bacon, or turned into food for other youkai.

"Disgusting brute!"

Holding his breath, he quickly bypassed the mountain boy, and walked a long way before the emperor took a breath and scolded in disgust.

At the same time, the emperor also deeply understood that this world is really a paradise for monsters and a hell for humans.

Just when you go out, you will encounter a man-eating monster, and if your strength is not good, you can't even leave a corpse when you die. It's no wonder that people in the world would rather live so hard than go outside.

On the road after that, the emperor was a little more vigilant. Who knows if there will be any monsters in the road who like to ambush and sneak attack, although they are not afraid, they don't want to be troubled.

Fortunately, maybe it was the previous killing that decisively woke up the surrounding monsters, letting them know that the Emperor Dao was not a soft persimmon to bully, and the road after that became very peaceful, and none of the monsters jumped out and shouted that they wanted to eat the Emperor as a snack.

The three-meter-wide roadside trees are longing, and a pair of cold and cruel eyes are revealed from time to time between the green leaves swaying in the wind, or various colors of hair.

The farther away from the human world, the more the emperor found that the number of monsters in the woods by the roadside increased, and the overall number of monsters was no less than that of the people in the human world. When I came out of the human world, I only saw a monster from a long distance on the side of the road, but now I can see the shadows of many monsters on almost both sides.

Walking on the road, the emperor has to be prepared at all times, there are so many monsters around him, if he hugs him, the god governor will have to be in a hurry for a while.

"Hey, there will be a family here, too?"

After walking for a long time, the emperor felt a little thirsty because he had eaten a lot of dog meat before, and wondered if he should find a place to drink some tea.

It was at this time that he noticed that at the end of the path, a house appeared among the shadows of the trees.

Although it appears in this kind of place, the style of the house is not unusual, just like an ordinary house in the world, a simple and solid wooden house.

Pitfall?

The first thought that crossed the Emperor's mind was deep doubt.

How could ordinary people live in such a dangerous environment, and most of the people who could live here were also skilled guys like Alice.

However, there are not too many "masters" outside, but I haven't seen a few in the world.

The Emperor has another guess, if it is not a human, then there must be a ghost!

According to Japanese legend, there are large mansions located in remote places, and there are yokai that pretend to be humans to deceive travelers, and only after the travelers have rested will they turn back into the form of yokai and eat the humans who strayed into them.

This kind of legend is not uncommon in Japan.

In Japan, for example, people used to believe that after 100 years of use, something would become a yokai. Even the old house will become a spirit, and the monster that has become a spirit will eat people.

Therefore, it was common for people in ancient Japan to throw away old things that had been used for a long time.

After a moment of silence, the Emperor took a step towards the house.

Regardless of whether there is danger there, whether it is a monster or not, it is not a big deal to go and see it.

If you're lucky, you might be able to beg for a cup of tea.

Xianglin Hall.

It seems that after hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the moss has already climbed to the roof corners, the wooden planks have long been old and faded, and the original bright vermilion characters have become dull due to the loss of time and fading.

However, because of this, it seems more simple and stable, revealing the taste of long-standing vicissitudes, and all gains and losses are in it.

The main entrance of the house called "Xianglin Hall" is wide open, and it is full of all kinds of messy things, and it seems to be a shop that is open to the public.

However, the shopkeeper was nowhere to be seen.

"Xianglintang, it looks good. There is no shortage of popularity, and it shouldn't be a monster's illusion. ”

After looking at the door for a while, the Emperor raised his feet and stepped in.

"Anyone? If it's not human, please answer as well. ”

The audacious Emperor was not at all worried that his words would anger others, and shouted in the shop.

Before someone answered, the emperor was not polite, and looked directly in the store, observing the goods here.

The store is very crowded, and the only place to stay is this aisle, with a counter in front of it, and all kinds of dusty goods on both sides. Judging by the extent of the dust accumulation, one can almost imagine what a lazy guy the owner is.

There are also a variety of products, so it can be said that this is a general store that sells everything. However, the emperor didn't know what the use of the big stone and the rotten iron sheet was, and the display screen with a hole in the middle was actually put out as a commodity.

Behind the counter, there is a curtain, and the shopkeeper must be inside.

After all, the door is wide open but no one is looking, and although you can guess from the dust on the goods, how unpopular it is, it is not enough to leave the goods outside waiting for someone to steal them.

"Who's coming~?"

A hand lifted the curtain, and a head appeared.

The young man with short white hair and a suspicious face walked out of the back room, and it seemed that even he was wondering that there would really be guests in this place.

Shouldn't you have made up your mind in the first place to open a store like this?

The emperor couldn't help but complain.

It seems that it should be human, but it doesn't seem to be a pure human being, so it's no wonder that the store is located in such a remote place.

After observing it, the emperor smiled knowingly.

"You're the owner of Xianglintang, I didn't expect there to be a store in this kind of place."
