Chapter 103: Young Thoughts
The side hall is the place where Hakurei Shrine entertains guests, and it is said to be a temple here, but it is actually just a slightly larger room, and in the middle of the room there is a square table for tea, and the ground is covered with tatami mats, and it is very quiet to clean. Cabinets and shelves were placed all around, and the innermost wall opened a door to the inner room, which was covered by a long red and white curtain.
The shrine maiden Hakuri Reimu sat opposite Bai Yan and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"I'll see... A hundred coppers, right? β
As she spoke, a white light appeared in her waving hand, enveloping the tea in front of Bai Yan and disappearing.
Before Bai Yan could understand what was happening, Bo Li Reimu said lightly: "Drink." β
Bai Yan drank it as he said, the hot tea flowed into his abdomen, and he suddenly felt comfortable, as if the pores of his whole body were opened.
System Prompt: You have drunk [Boli Tea], and the strength in your body has been refined to a certain extent.
Bai Yan's eyes widened, and he immediately felt that the flow of Geng Qi in his body was becoming more and more rounded.
Seeing his surprised look, her face remained unchanged, and she asked, "What's the improvement?" β
"The flow of qi is a little more mellowed." Bai Yan replied truthfully, he knew the truth of not being greedy, so he took back what he subconsciously wanted to ask.
Seeing his expression, the corners of her mouth hooked up a little: "This tea is only useful for the first cup, and the promotion to you is also random, so don't think about whether there is any more." β
"Yes." Bai Yan nodded.
"Hmm... The gas of heptongjin. You're Gengjin, why haven't I seen you? β
Bai Yan didn't understand what Hakuri Reimu's words meant.
Hakuri Reimu stared at Bai Yan and finally sighed.
"Forget it."
There was an incomprehensible silence in her tone.
She said lightly: "The Gengjin Qi in your body is still very mixed and not pure, it is obviously not innate, but an acquired comprehension or organic fate. For the sake of your hard work to come to worship, I will give you half a month to go to the tree behind the shrine to visit the enlightenment, as for whether you can realize it or not, it has nothing to do with me. β
System prompt: You have found the task [Boli's Reminder], please choose whether to accept it or not. Reply in language.
It turns out that the shrine mission has a follow-up.,No wonder the previous Nabong mission didn't give a reward.γ
Bai Yan quickly calculated, there was nothing that had to be done recently, and he was going to look around. But since Hakuri Reimu, who is the only shrine maiden, has given herself a chance to become stronger, why not?
He replied, "Yes, I know." β
System Prompt: You have accepted the quest [Bori's Tips].
γHighlights of Hakureiγ
The shrine maiden Hakurei Reimu requires you to comprehend the method of refining your power within a time limit of fifteen days.
There is no penalty for failure, and there is a chance to trigger other tasks if successful.
Cut-off time: 7:5 calendar days later.
This quest is clearly the second in the Hakurei shrine quest chain, if it fails. The quest chain is broken, and if it succeeds, the next quest chain can be opened.
Although Bai Yan didn't know the true meaning and status of the Hakurei Shrine in Gensokyo, it didn't prevent him from knowing the importance of the Hakurei Shrine, after all, it was the "only" shrine, the only thing, and it would never be bad.
So this task, it is better to succeed.
Bai Yan read the task description again and thought silently.
"Then you'll be staying at the shrine for a few days, and I remember there's still a bed." Hakuri Reimu pointed in a certain direction, "I'll have someone take you there later." β
Bai Yan nodded. Agreed, and then set the offline point in the shrine.
The witch took out a few pieces of fairy shells from the cabinet on the side, put them on a plate and handed them to Bai Yan, but Bai Yan didn't eat anything unusual this time, this is just an ordinary fairy shell.
Bo Li Reimu sat opposite Bai Yan, drinking tea and eating senbei in the same way, but her eyes were no longer on Bai Yan, but seemed a little distant, as if she was missing something.
Bai Yan's extraordinary insight can clearly feel the deep emotions in the heart of the girl in front of him.
Sadness. Depression, loneliness, loneliness...
This emotion has been experienced by Bai Yan before. Empathy.
Once again, he couldn't help but ask himself, is this really a game? Is this Gensokyo really virtual?
Why are the emotions of all NPCs so real, and even the real human beings don't want to and don't want to show their true feelings, why do these virtual game characters do it?
Bai Yan is very sensitive to feelings, does not mention others, and only tastes his warmth and coldness in the past 20 years. That's why I'm confused.
Whether it is the cold and fairy-like Hakurei Reimu, or the cute orange, or the eccentric Inhata Wei, or even the self-police member Sato who met when hunting the Nightmare Spider before, regardless of their strength and strength, the sincere emotions they exuded made Bai Yan think so.
A plate of senbei was eaten little by little with tea, and the room was very quiet, and Bo Li Reimu was thinking about things, and Bai Yan didn't speak.
"Okay, you sit here and wait, I'll have someone take you there."
Hakuri Reimu stood up, said a word to Bai Yan lightly, cleaned up the table, and walked to the inner room with the plate.
As soon as she opened the curtain, she seemed to remember something, and looked back at Bai Yan.
Bai Yan suddenly felt that the emotions in her heart had changed. The feeling of sadness before has disappeared without a trace, and it has returned to the clouds and breeze.
At this time, there was a hint of a wise smile on her fairy-like face.
"Since you live at a shrine, don't forget to worship and worship every day."
After speaking, Hakuri Reimu walked into the inner room with a cup and saucer, leaving Bai Yan alone in the side hall crying and laughing.
He began to wonder if he was delusional just now, staying for fifteen days is a full fifteen-day offering, and it is really wrong to think too well of this money-greedy witch!
Bo Li Reimu has been away for a long time and no one has come, Bai Yan can bear to wait, look through his state, count the items in the inventory, use the Gengjin Qi to moisten the green knife, or try to think about extracting the pure Gengjin Qi, anyway, there are many things to do, and it won't be boring.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and Bai Yan's gaze naturally fell to the door.
Looking at the shadow reflected on the wooden door, it was a woman.
The other person knocked lightly on the wooden door.
"Please come in."
Two wooden doors were gently removed.
It's already night, and the Hakurei Shrine is located on a high place, where the moonlight naturally favors it, and the gurgling light follows the doorframe, outlining the hazy silhouette of a woman.
Bai Yan raised his head unconsciously.
The girl in the black dress took advantage of the cold moonlight, barefoot and dusty. Like an elf in the dark night, his dark eyes are as clear as a mirror, and his shoulder-length black hair flutters lightly with the night breeze, not like a person here.
The wind is like a god. The moon is a bone, like a pebble, crashing into Bai Yan's calm heart lake.
Bai Yan, who has always been cold and rarely moved by external objects, and is also very immune to women's beauty, is inexplicably at a loss at the moment.
The woman in the beautiful black dress looks like a crystal clear. Although it is not dazzling, it has a unique temperament that is lonely and cold and indescribable, so that Bai Yan's eyes cannot be taken away at all.
So far, he has seen many beautiful girls, the gentle woman Gu Qingwan, the fairy Isu, the assassin Zhang Hatshui, the physician Yakushiji Suwen, the vampire Heathcliff, and the cat demon Orange and Qi Lan of the Phantom Company, all of whom have their own styles. Even if it is to see such a bell and earth spirit like Hakuri Reimu. A girl full of fairy energy, he didn't have such a big reaction.
Bai Yan was stunned, stood up, his teeth gnawed at his lower lip, and the thumbs and forefingers of both hands rubbed slightly, which was one of the few nervous movements he made.
The girl looked at him and frowned a little, expressing her doubts.
The vernacular words that should have asked something came to his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, and looked at the girl's clear eyes for a moment. He could only bite the bullet and speak.
"Hello."
"yes, okay."
Her voice was as strong as a mountain stream.
"Are you a gamer or..."
"It's a player."
"Oh, oh."
Bai Yan secretly scolded himself for being stupid, why did he mess up. Just look at the map.
He finally calmed down and said, "My name is Bai Yanfei. β
"Lu Xishen."
"Lu..."Bai Yan hesitated slightly.
"Lu Xishen." The girl whispered.
"That's... Miss Luk. β
"Lu Xishen." The girl repeated it again.
It seems that this girl is determined to call her that.
"Lu Xishen, um... Hakurei Shrine Maiden asked you to take me to see the room, didn't she? β
"Yes."
"I'm sorry for you."
"Nope." Lu Xishen said softly.
Bai Yan couldn't hear any emotion from the girl's words, she just said that. Explain such a thing to the other person softly.
"Let's go."
The girl said no more, turned around, and walked slowly forward, like a dark butterfly.
Bai Yan quickly followed her footsteps, walked nearly a hundred steps, turned three or two corners, and a simple hut appeared in front of Bai Yan.
Bai Yan followed Lu Xishen in.
There was not much space in the room, a table, two chairs, a variety of shelves, and a bunk bed in the corner, neither of which was too big to fit the size of an adult.
Lu Xishen turned around and said softly, "I slept down after I came the day before yesterday." β
It means to let Bai Yan sleep on the top bunk.
Do you share a room? Bai Yan frowned slightly, the guest rooms in this shrine are good or bad, if you don't have to sleep for a while at night, it's better to stay in the training ground.
In Gensokyo, players also need a certain amount of sleep to replenish their energy and stamina. It doesn't have to be much, every Gensokyo day only needs to sleep for two hours. Of course, players won't be mentally tired if they stay up late, because your body is still sleeping. However, starting at 7 o'clock the next morning, you will gain a negative status of [Lack of Energy], which will cause you to lose all stats, including buffs, by a quarter for half a day. And if you sleep more than six hours in the game, you can even get a [Full of Energy] buff status, which will give you a one-tenth bonus of the full state boost for half a day.
This point has been complained by many players on the phantom sky.,For the setting of "sleep in sleep",Players are naturally wonderful.,But anyway, the fantasy company's love for players to complain has become the norm.,Gradually, no players mention this stubble.,But every night I guarantee that I can sleep for about two hours to maintain the normal state of the next day.γ
"Okay, I'll sleep on it."
"So, good night, Bai Yanfei."
Lu Xishen said softly and walked out of the hut.
The three words "Bai Yanfei", she bit it very clearly, Bai Yanfei heard it clearly, and felt it clearly.
When she called out her name, her chest and heart did flutter vigorously.
Seeing Lu Xishen's cold back leave, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
His mind was a little complicated.
For some reason, the moment he saw Lu Xishen, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
She's really beautiful.
I heard every word she said clearly, remembered it clearly, I became nervous, and every word I said had to be considered, completely without my usual coldness.
Distraught.
According to the old turtle, this is something that he has never been exposed to... In love?
Just kidding...
The matter of love has never existed in Bai Yan's mind, and in the first twenty years of Bai Yan's life, except for the desire to fly, it is a blank, and it may always be blank. When I was in school, I also saw others fall in love, grinding their ears and temples, you and me, he didn't see it, but he was not touched in his heart, and he still went his own way.
Wu Yinhe had made fun of him about this before, and it was basically like this.
Wu Yinhe: "Is Spicy Chicken Lao Bai still a single dog this year?" β
Bai Yan: "Aren't you also in love, what do you say I do?" βγ
Wu Yinhe: "Doesn't this live with you, can't you let go of chasing with your hands and feet?" β
Bai Yan: "I'll go through the moving procedures for you tomorrow." β
Wu Yinhe: "Ahem, cough, cough-"
It looks like I've choked on a mouthful of water.
Bai Yan: "Wu Dashao, your conditions are not bad, and you are not like me, I still want to ask why you don't fall in love?" β
Wu Yinhe, Zhengse: "I can't talk about love that is not responsible for the other party." β
Bai Yan, thumb: "What a decent gentleman!" β
Wu Yinhe smiled: "Thank you for the compliment." β
Bai Yan was disgusted: "Oh, you go, what qualifications does a sixteen-year-old guy who looks at Gongkou Ben Relish have to say such things." β
Wu Yinhe flipped the table: "Lao Bai, why are you talking about this at this time?!" Didn't you watch it with me? Also, aren't you discussing your singleness, why did the topic turn to me again? β
White words, smiles.
β¦
When they were young students, the mutual losses of Xiaobai and Wu's mother usually ended in the defeat of the latter.
This kind of topic continues to the end, and it is always the two people who play Tai Chi with each other and talk about it elsewhere, but in fact avoid talking about it.
Bai Yan himself has a number, he resists this reality, subconsciously refuses to associate with others, the possibility of falling in love with someone is very low, probably he will never fall in love or get married in this life, and there should be no woman who can look at him as "willing to fall". After all, no one can understand what he wants, what he is pursuing, except for himself.
And the only confidant, Wu Yinhe, he also has his own long-cherished wishes, dreams, and persistence, and his mind is always not in this regard, otherwise with his superior conditions in all aspects and his tolerant character, it is not a problem to fall in love at all.
That's the same weight as my dream of flying... A dream.
Bai Yan shook his head fiercely.
It's all before the appearance of the fantasy Sky Wars.
Coming to this fantasy town, Bai Yan's dream of flying came true, and he no longer refused to interact with people and collide with others, after all, this is a fantasy land, Bai Yan is here, and he has been released by "Bai Yanfei", and he is changing a little bit. And Lao Wu's dream, perhaps... It can also be achieved.
So, what about love, will there also be a love of your own?
"Lu Xishen."
Bai Yan read these three words softly, and in his heart yearning for the sky, a little boyish thought sprouted.
