Chapter 9: The Shrine at Night
As night fell, Aoba lay flat on the bed and began to practice every day.
Although the relationship between the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is too scarce, which makes it much more difficult to cultivate, for an existence like Aoba who has a thousand years of experience in his previous life, no matter how rare the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is, he can still find a way to cultivate, at most it will be slower.
So Aoba devoured the heaven and earth with the same greed as devouring heaven and earth, devouring the surrounding heaven and earth vitality, and synthesized the true yuan in his body.
After these days of hard cultivation, the true element in the body finally has a certain concentration, and with the silent shattering of some boundary in Aoba's body, the true element flocked to Aoba's brain and began to communicate with the original spirit.
The reason why Aoba was able to be reincarnated was because in his previous life, the powerful Genshin carried memories and supernatural powers, wandering between heaven and earth until he possessed this body that was still in the embryonic stage, thus completing the reincarnation.
But because this body is too young, it can't withstand the impact of the huge memory in the Yuan Shen at all, so the Yuan Shen can only temporarily seal itself, until the body's brain is fully developed and can withstand the memory in the Yuan Shen, and the Yuan Shen is unsealed, so that Aoba recovered the memory of his previous life a few days ago.
And after a few days of cultivation, Aoba's true essence has also recovered to a certain strength, and only then can it communicate with the original spirit to feed the original god.
At this point, with the assistance of the original god, Aoba's cultivation can be regarded as truly beginning to progress day by day.
Although Aoba relied on the experience of his previous life to cultivate very quickly, there was still a long difference between having the assistance of the Yuan Shen and not having the assistance of the Yuan God.
At the same time, along with Aoba's communication with the original god, the original god who was nourished by the true yuan finally began to recover some magical powers.
For example, the first awakened supernatural power, Tianyantong.
Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, obviously not opening his eyes, Aoba can see everything around him clearly, which is different from the observation with the naked eye, and it is also different from the "seeing" formed by the scan of the surroundings by the true element in the body and fed back into his mind.
It's more like standing at a higher angle, observing the world, looking down at everything from the sky.
Feeling the wonderful, but already familiar perspective in his previous life, Aoba slowly opened his eyes, and the naked eye and the heavenly eye were perfectly coordinated.
Standing in front of the window and scanning the night view of Tokyo is different from what Aoba has seen before, as if you have started a game like a third-person perspective, you can look at the night view of Tokyo from all directions, making Tokyo look more and more gorgeous.
Coupled with the naked eye observation of the first-person perspective, the two perspectives exist at the same time, and fortunately, Aoba had experience in his previous life, otherwise he really couldn't adapt to it for a while.
"Interesting, let's go out for a walk!" Looking at this different urban scenery from his usual eyes, Aoba became curious.
Although he has a thousand-year memory of his previous life, the green leaves of this life are not a simple continuation of his previous life, but a sixteen-year-old juvenile heart in this life, and a new self after combining with the thousand-year-old life of his previous life.
Although the proportion of thousands of years in his previous life was too large, he was closer to himself in his previous life, but the youthful nature of this life occasionally affected Aoba, making him do something consistent with his identity on a whim.
In this way, Aoba changed into civilian clothes and went downstairs, and walked out of Ruyuezhuang through the small door that was specially opened next to the used bookstore on the first floor to facilitate access, and walked in the alley, and always maintained the open state of the eye of the sky, looking down from the sky, and the surrounding grass and trees were in his eyes. He realized that it was a novelty for him in this life, but in his previous life, he was a familiar way of observing and strolling through the streets of Tokyo.
As I walked, suddenly, from the perspective of the eye of the sky, a special light came out from a shrine not far away.
It was the light unique to the spirit, and the one that emitted the light was a shrine, so Aoba was immediately interested.
"Spirits? It's interesting to be able to maintain its own existence in the era of the end of the law without dissipating! Muttering to himself, Aoba walked in the direction of the shrine and soon came to the foot of a somewhat remote mountain.
The stone steps meander to the top of the hill and disappear into the darkness of the night.
If you were an ordinary person, I am afraid that you would lose the courage to continue moving forward when you come here, but this naturally does not frighten Aoba, and even the pitch-black dense forest, under the gaze of Aoba's heavenly eyes, flashes with brighter and brighter spiritual light, illuminating everything in the forest very clearly.
Obviously, this place used to be full of abundant spiritual power all year round, although now the main body of that spiritual power has curled up in the shrine to survive, and even erased its own traces so as not to be discovered, but it still can't hide the exploration of Aoba Tianyan!
"It's getting more and more interesting." A smile appeared on Aoba's face as he stepped up the stone steps.
As you walked up the winding stone steps, you soon reached a hill that was not very high, and you came to the torii gate at the entrance of the shrine.
Lanterns are hung on both sides of the torii gate, and there are lights that illuminate the shrine even though they are not dazzling.
Looking at the various buildings that are obviously well maintained, it is clear that this shrine is running well, at least the income is enough to be self-sufficient, and there is no dilapidated scene.
In this way, Aoba walked past the torii gate, and then crossed the hut where amulets and other items were sold, and at this time there were no shrine maidens, and came to the main hall of the shrine.
Looking at the money box in front of him and the thick rope with a bell tied to the top of the box, Aoba obviously had no intention of visiting.
And at this moment, on the side of the main hall, a girl wearing a witch costume, appeared there, and happened to see Aoba's figure, and suddenly her eyes lit up, obviously she was treating Aoba as an ordinary person to worship, although this time was a little strange, but the witch didn't think much about it.
So she walked briskly towards Aoba, ready to entertain this guest, maybe she could sell the amulet later.
Just as the witch was moving, suddenly, a whirlwind rolled around her, and a huge fox phantom appeared behind the shrine maiden.
"Stop Nanami and don't go near this man, he's dangerous." The huge fox bared its teeth and stared at Aoba in menace.
"Lord Yubai? How did you show up? Who the hell is this person? The shrine maiden, who was about to get close to Aoba, suddenly took a step back, looked at Aoba with a vigilant face, and even picked up a broom next to her, and put on a kendo posture to defend herself, and it can be seen from the posture that the shrine maiden is still a kendo master.
"I don't know who it is, but he gives me the feeling of danger, damn it, I didn't even notice it earlier." The huge fox phantom said very unpleasantly.
"Hey, I don't mean anything to you! It's just that when I passed by here, I noticed the breath of the fox, so I came up to take a look. Aoba shrugged and said with a friendly expression.
