507 Don't use the hidden dragon

"Purple told you about the situation, right?"
"Yes, I already know. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
The carriage temporarily stopped near the big banyan tree, and Qin En, Bo Li Chu and the blonde woman looked at each other under the banyan tree, she looked at Qin En with an unclear gaze and said, "I've heard of you." β
"Heard of me?"
"Yes, Ah Zi occasionally comes here and tells me about Gensokyo, the legendary story of an ordinary man who has nothing and bravely enters the Red Devil Pavilion alone for his adopted daughter. β
Qin En grinned, as if he had a toothache, bared his teeth, smacked his lips, and didn't react much.
"Oh, it looks like you're not the same as you say. β
"What's different?"
"I heard Ah Zi say that you are a man who likes to be praised and complimented by others. After a pause, she continued: "It seems that there is a difference between rumors and truth. β
Actually, the rumors are not wrong. Qin En still had a good impression of her when he heard her describe herself like that. But that wasn't enough to make Qin En dance in ecstasy.
"Let's introduce yourself formally. My name is Tsuolin and I'm the manager here, the race ...... It's Lin."
β...... Yee...... Lin?"
The story of the unicorn, how could Qin En not be familiar with it?
Although the times have long changed, the myths of the ancestors have never only stayed at the level of word of mouth, even the descendants of Yan and Huang in a foreign country can hear those desirable myths and stories from their parents.
The unicorn is a traditional auspicious beast in ancient Chinese Han myths and legends.
It is an auspicious treasure that integrates the dragon's head, antlers, lion's eye, tiger's back, bear's waist, snake scales, horseshoe, and oxtail, and is a decoration on the public court from ancient times to the present, and is also a symbol of nobility.
ββWhere the unicorn haunts, there must be auspiciousness.
The girl in front of her, who is sitting cross-legged under the banyan tree and caressing the qin (erhu), is the embodiment of the unicorn.
The girl smiled bitterly: "Can you not call it that? I am a female, and calling me Qilin directly is like saying that I am a yin and yang person." β
The ancients called the male unicorn and the female unicorn. Although unicorn and unicorn are the collective name of the race, this is a name made up by humans after all, and the opinion of this race has never been consulted.
"Lin?"
"That's it, correspondingly, I'll call you Qin En. β
The one named Yin Yuelin happily bends the corners of his mouth and gently pulls the erhu, making a somewhat monotonous, boring melody.
For the time being, it's OK to call the guest, no matter how you say that the other party is also the manager here, respecting the other party's culture and respecting other people's opinions is a good way to resolve conflicts and understand each other.
Even if it's a personality, it shouldn't be played at this time.
"Ah Zi has already told me about you. β
Yan Yuelin stood up, and Qin En saw that she was sitting directly on the ground, and surprisingly, her clothes were not covered with dust because of this.
"Leaving you alone for the time being, how about I, the manager, take you around?"
"Yes. β
The first generation of Bo Li replied in place of Qin En.
However, Qin En had no intention of objecting.
Xian Yuelin summoned a few handsome young men and girls, gave some instructions, and asked them to lead Hu Tao and the others to the accommodation that had been arranged.
Qin En and the first generation followed Yin Yuelin for a walk around the village.
When she led the way in front, Qin En observed the position of her buttocks, it was the same, clean and clean, according to Qin En's invention of the [Gensokyo Master Style] summary, this girl of Yue Lin should belong to the type that is not easy to mess with.
Just as Qin En was summing up, Yin Yuelin suddenly stopped, looked at Qin En teasingly, and said, "You like the shape of my hips very much?"
"I don't think it's bad...... Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, ??"
By the time you realize you've said the wrong thing, it's too late!
Habitual quick talk and quick tongue is not good at all!
"What an age-appropriate worker. β
"I didn't mean to say it, ahh!!!h
Yan Yuelin's half-joking mockery made Qin En extremely embarrassed, watching the lively teenagers and girls whispering in Qin En's direction, and occasionally a few words of laughter that were not light or light, made him want to run away.
..................
..................
Fortunately, the point is up.
After getting permission from Yin Yuelin, Qin En began to observe the nearby environment with a telescope.
The tactical telescope from the outside world saw the undulating mountains of Gensokyo, and a large area of trees and jungles obscured the path, although he remembered the direction when he came, but in this way, Qin En couldn't find a way out at all.
Although it was inconspicuous on the way up, when I stood in the village and looked down, I realized that it was in a certain mountain, and it was not at all conspicuous among the surrounding mountains and small peaks.
If it weren't for the first generation of Boli to guide the way, it would be impossible for outsiders to find here.
"This is somewhere in Gensokkyo - I don't mean to hide it, but because there really isn't any obvious sign here, and the village doesn't have any name because we don't think it's troublesome, fog village, mountain forest village...... Call it whatever you want. β
The tour guide Yin Yuelin is not very responsible for explaining, the words she describes and the attitude of the residents in her mouth always give people the impression of perfunctory, and she can't even afford to be named, and she is also a group of strange guys, Gensokyo really has never lacked this kind of personality.
"Don't walk around when you're fine, it's easy to get lost, it's a few hundred meters away from the village and it's a white fog...... The environment here is very similar to that there, and these fogs are natural barriers, natural barriers to prevent outsiders from entering. β
It's a natural, naturally formed forbidden place in Gensokyo.
Qin En doesn't like the environment of the Lost Bamboo Forest, which is always damp, and this environment is very unfriendly to the human body, and it is easy to cause all kinds of worrying diseases.
As if reading Qin En's worries, Yin Yuelin interjected: "This fog can be controlled from the inside out, and when the weather is good, the sun can also penetrate in, so you don't have to worry about not seeing the sun." β
The environment is somewhat similar to the Lost Bamboo Forest, not much different.
But this also brought some questions to Qin En.
It is easy to understand that the Forever Pavilion is in the Lost Bamboo Forest, after all, they are aliens, and it is still necessary to set up some defenses to prevent the earthlings from interfering.
But why is this village hidden?
"Sure enough, you're curious about this, too. β
Yan Yuelin was no easier to deal with than the big monsters Qin En had seen before, and his careful thoughts, even the slightest change in his demeanor, would be seen and interpreted by her.
This is another article of [Gensokyo Master Style]: powerful monsters, older monsters, can't be judged by appearance, they can always guess the profound meaning from your eyes and smile, almost to the level of neurosis.
"I'll explain it to you later, when you've decided to live here permanently. β
Jian Yuelin sold a pass.
That's all for the time being.
The villagers here also give people a very special impression, the adults in the village look at Qin En from a distance, and the children also stand far away, looking not kind at all, and the way of doing things at a distance from outsiders seems to be no different from the people in the people.
However, from their bodies, Qin En did not feel the numbness and self-abandonment of the group of peasant women in the world.
They have a unique spirit, looking at Qin En without that kind of insensitive fear and timidity, when they saw Yin Yuelin leading Qin En and the others to hang out, these villagers greeted the three of them in a friendly manner.
It's not the kind of boring trash talk like "Hello big sister", "Oh, you're still busy", "It's really hard" after the turtles see the leader. Yan Yuelin was also very indifferent, and she didn't see the aura that seemed to be that of village cadres and township elders going to the countryside.
Qin En could feel the difference between them, and they looked at Yin Yuelin's gaze without any fear, as if they were getting along as equals.
"They are all residents here, they are all equal, they have no special rights and status. β
If you look at me, I'll give you a smile and a nod - Qin En, who was following behind Yin Yuelin, was only noticed by a few curious eyes, and he turned his eyes away after a few glances as a rare animal, this atmosphere is really like the outside world.
β...... It seems that all the characters who live here are sweeping monks," Qin En, who took the scenes into his eyes, muttered to himself.
They weren't afraid of outsiders, and Qin En wasn't ostracized, which was a relief, and when he first stepped in, he thought he had arrived at the place where Yakumo Zi was exiled to criminals.
At the entrance to the village and in all corners of the village, you can see four or five strange trees that are densely grown, strangely shaped, and tall and strong. Although Qin En is not a botanist, he can also tell that these things are not special varieties of plants that can be seen in the outside of Gensokyo. There are several small treehouses built in the middle of several trees, but the dense foliage in the shape of drops makes the treehouses very inconspicuous, and when you look up from under the trees, you can vaguely feel the gaze inside, and it is obvious that it is a sentry to protect the village.
Yan Yuelin didn't take Qin En and the others too closely, and stood far away and explained to the two: "Those are all sentry posts that protect the village and monitor the situation nearby, don't disturb them if it's okay, if you want to meet, you will have a chance in the future." β
"Lin. β
The white-haired old man in a green and white kimono appeared in Qin En's field of vision, and when he saw his face, a familiar aura that he couldn't name made him a little stunned.
"The new accommodation has been arranged. β
"Okay, I'll take them there. β
Yan Yuelin didn't take special care of Qin En, but chatted with the old man in a few words, and the old man nodded and left after passing the letter.
It wasn't until this old man called the soul demon left that Qin En felt that something was wrong: for some reason, the moment he saw him, Qin En suddenly had a sense of immediacy as if he had seen him somewhere!
"Alright, come with me and show you where you live. β
The accommodation arranged by Yin Yuelin is not too far away, and a small village does not look big at all, it is nothing more than a matter of taking one or two more steps.
The carriages have been arranged in the exclusive stables, and several Japanese-style mansions are where Qin En and the others will live in the future, and the things that should be used are piled up in the courtyard.
"These houses are yours, everything that should be there, how to use it, how to arrange it, I won't dictate it. β
"If you have any additional needs in the future, just tell me, if you can arrange it, I will arrange it for you, if you can't arrange it, you will live there, this village has no such thing as a title deed, don't make people angry. β
The nominal manager of this village did not abandon the complicated rules nor gave Qin En and the others a disappointment, let alone show too much enthusiasm, as if he was interested in being a tour guide and said something that he didn't have, and it is estimated that he also hid a lot of private goods, as if he had said something, and it seemed that he didn't say anything at all, and after doing this, he left here, leaving here: "There is a banquet in the evening, remember to participate." And he walked away.
"Who the hell is she?"
This kind of overly casual action makes people scratch their heads.
"Don't worry about those words, let's do our best. β
And the first generation of Boli is simple to the extreme.
"Qin En, what are you still doing there, hurry up and help!"
On the other side, Hu Tao began to urge, and Qin En had no choice but to pick up the broom and help clean up in the room.
This is the first step in his new life, and it seems that there have been many changes compared to before, but nothing seems to have changed.
Why exactly was this village founded?
What do the inhabitants of this place do?
What does the attitude of the moon represent?
Is it a simple seclusion that they live here? Or is there some other profound reason?
Why did Yakumo Zi so easily agree to Qin En, a subordinate who was a little dissatisfied with her, to settle in this place?
Was it total exile and renunciation, or did she think she couldn't make any waves here?
I don't know, after sweeping with a broom for a long time, he couldn't sweep away the dust on the answers, and he blamed Yue Yuelin's ambiguous attitude, leaving only a bunch of paste and mysteries in his mind.
"Is this probably the start of a new life?" Qin En thought about it for a while, and began to ask the others what their plans were.
"I'm staying here for the time being, anyway, I used to be idle in the Dream Hall...... You ask this, why don't you clean up for me! Hey, don't run!"
Hu Tao, who was wearing an apron and cleaning the garbage in the room, said angrily, in this regard, Qin En could only throw the broom to her, and then in her roar, the soles of her feet were oiled and slipped away.
"I'm going to start a barbecue restaurant here again, and the villagers here will like it! β
Mistia really has a heart for entrepreneurship, and this night sparrow is always a guy who can't be idle.
"Misia, can you please don't add bug-related dishes to your menu this time, I feel so uncomfortable every time you make that kind of food. β
"Naligru, you have to help me prepare other ingredients, if the ingredients can't keep up, I can only use your own clan as a menu to make up the numbers!"
"Whew, how so. β
The discussion between Liglu and Mistya was so positive and enthusiastic, and Qin En looked at the discussion between the two in a trance, as if he had returned to the way he saw them when he first came to Gensokyo.
Maybe... In the future, when everyone goes to the outside world, this night finch girl and the insect girl who controls the insects will be easier to integrate into the outside society and become an economic strong woman than other girls in Gensokyo.
He was extremely sure of this, just the motivation of these two people, as long as they hid their racial characteristics and superpowers, as long as they were in a normal and peaceful country, they would bloom with colors that many Gensokyo monsters could not have.
"There are a lot of books still there, and I plan to continue to open a bookstore here, Suzuna-an, which will never be closed. β
The attitude of the mother and daughter is also almost the same, although they lack the drive to start a new business like Misty and Liglu, they are not inferior to them, and the mother and daughter who have been displaced with Qin En and others have never given up their hopes.
"Where to live is not to live, where is not idle, but to go from one boring place to another. β
The shadow wolf, who was carrying things with a group of clumsy little wolf cubs, pouted and replied nonchalantly, just like the life they had before when they didn't care about anything, and the current change was just another similar dynamic for them.
There is no reference value.
"It's boring, but Uncle Qin is here!"
"Yes, yes, I knew you would answer ......"
Expected answer.
Usami Hasuko's attitude is both reassuring and worrying, and it's not too young to be old, and it's not good to always pester her uncle, if you don't do it well, it may develop into a dangerous situation in the future, which must be paid attention to.
As for Rosalyn, Qin En doesn't plan to see her for the time being, she is still immersed in grief after losing her lover, and her new life in Gensokyo in the future is estimated to be without her part, and after the incident, Qin En is afraid that she will have to find a way to send her to the outside world.
The outside world is her real world, and perhaps with the help of Hakuri Reimu, she will be able to forget the grief of Gao Chong's disappearance (death).
"Hatsudai, what about you?"
"I've lived here before, I'm just coming back to this place. β
Bo Li Chu slowly raised his head and asked, "Qin En, what do you want to do?"
"Dig me a cellar first. β
Qin En deliberately raised his head, not looking at Hu Tao and the others, looking at the sky with resentful expressions-
"I think there are some interesting things that I designed for the Kalaya of Penglai Mountain, and I plan to make them. β
"Didn't you decide to go into self-imposed exile?"
"Heh, I'm just going to take a break. A combination of work and rest, a combination of work and rest!"
Regarding Hu Tao's question, Qin En scoffed.
Qin En has never been disheartened.
On the way, he thought a lot, such as leaving Gensokyo to survive in the outside world, or not asking about the world.
But, there are no eggs under the nest?
[Sooner or later, we will meet again]
The tall woman who appeared in the memory of the Earth Demon Man, and the words she didn't finish always echoed in Qin En's mind like a magic spell.
Her figure, her strength, her strength, how could people forget it so easily? That golden light still pierced Qin En's nerves!
"It's just the beginning. β
