I really didn't expect that I would come to the outside world because of an accident.

Looking at the town in the distance, I was once again sure I wasn't mistaken.

Now where I'm supposed to be.,It's the "Seeking to Hear the History".,Another Hakurei shrine outside Gensokyo!

However, this place is really remote enough.

The bottom of the mountain is deserted as far as the eye can see, and the nearest farmlands are also several kilometers away.

So when I turned around and saw the crumbling shrine that I don't know how many years it could last, I wasn't too surprised.

When this shrine was intact, it must have been similar to the Hakurei Shrine in Gensokyo! The roof was covered with fallen leaves, and there were holes everywhere, and many places were in dilapidation. The most important object in front of the shrine is also missing, and I don't know if it was taken by someone nearby, or because it was too old, it had long since decayed into ashes.

The ground was overgrown with dwarf weeds, and it looked like no one had been here for a long time.

What a miserable sight.

Sure enough, no matter what it is, it can't stand the washing of time!

I sighed a lot, and I thought about my own question again.

It's hard to come out once, and it seems a bit too wasteful to go back like this!

It's better to do something.

"Go ahead. ”

I raised my hands, and hundreds of miniature versions of the Far Star One rushed out of the cuffs, then scattered and flew in all directions.

These little things can help me collect a piece of information about this world, and when I come back next time, I can recycle them.

"Next ......"

I looked at the town.

There's still a lot of time, so why don't you go to the city over there?

Soon, I was able to plan my next step.

Before you go, though, there's one more thing that must be done.

I felt the situation nearby, and the aura of the mountain had almost dissipated, but surprisingly, in the woods behind the shrine, there seemed to be a place where the aura was still very strong.

"Just choose there. ”

In a flash, my figure disappeared from the spot.

Looking at the pond in front of me, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, I couldn't imagine that in the outside world, there was such a place with such a full aura!

The water in the pond is a faint green, and there are many aquatic plants growing on the shore, and there are traces of trampling in many places, and it seems that animals often visit this place.

I looked around, and finally selected six large trees at the same distance, and began to carve a very complex magic circle on the trees.

Once each magic array is engraved, it disappears immediately, and nothing unusual is visible from the outside of the tree.

"Let's test it!"

I looked up at the sky, and it was just right to borrow her power.

Taking out a piece of colored crystal, I walked towards the center of the pond......

"Buzz. ”

The silver aura swirled, shrinking smaller and smaller, until it turned back into its original crystal.

It's just that now it's a little smaller than it was at the beginning.

It seems that each space crystal can only activate the "Piercing Gate" five times at most! It's a little less than expected, but it doesn't matter, I still have a lot of space crystals!

"Hmm!"

I did so many moves on it, and the guy hiding under the water finally had a reaction.

Actually, I noticed it at first, but at the time I thought it was just an ordinary animal. After all, the aura of this pond is so abundant, it is not uncommon for it to attract something special.

But as the other person's momentum increased dramatically, I realized that I had made a mistake.

If the original underwater thing was only equivalent to an ordinary human, now it is a big youkai.

And it's still improving.

The white waves rolled, and a strange thing emerged from the water and slowly floated.

"What is this?"

When I look at it horizontally and vertically, I think it looks like the shell of a big turtle.

The shell gradually rose up, and when it reached the level of my head, it stopped, and was steadily suspended in mid-air.

"Oh...... Oooh!"

Four short, pillar-like feet protrude from both sides of the tortoise's shell, and finally the head.

Sure enough, it was a turtle.

"Good afternoon! ”

The old turtle, with a beard on its chin, twisted its neck, as if stretching.

"Hello, old sir. ”

Outwardly, it's clear that he's a lot older than me, so I shouldn't have a problem calling it that.

"Oh, you don't seem to be surprised by the old man, is it because you have already discovered the old man's savings?"

The turtle asked, probing its head and staring at me.

"So to speak. ”

I smiled and didn't deny it. In fact, even if I didn't notice it, I wouldn't be surprised when I saw it.

After all, I've seen a lot of weirder things than that.

"Well, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself! The old man's name is Xuanye. I'm getting older, and my memory is much worse!"

"My name is Dongfang Yao. ”

"Dongfang Yao, could it be that you came from the continent on the other side of the sea?"

"It's not. ”

I shook my head, and there seemed to be something interesting coming out of the turtle's mouth!

"Isn't it? ”

Xuan Ye nodded and did not pursue the matter further.

"I almost forgot to ask, young man, what are you doing here?"

When the "Boundary Crossing Gate" was activated just now, the flow of aura around it suddenly accelerated many times, and it woke up from its sleep.

"Just a small test. Is this where you live, sir?"

"That's right, the old man has lived in this pond since a long time ago. ”

"Oh, in that case, I'd better change places. ”

Since this is someone else's territory, there is no choice but to change it.

"It's okay, young man. If you really need this place, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't destroy it. ”

Xuan Ye grinned, and he smiled.

Although I don't understand what this person is trying to do, the accelerated flow of aura is good for it and all the creatures here.

"Thanksgiving. ”

I hurriedly bent down to thank you, but I didn't expect the other party to be so reasonable.

"Hehehe, no thanks. ”

Xuan Ye nodded slightly, this human being, like the witch of the Hakurei Shrine, also made it very appreciative.

Well, I haven't been back for many years, and I don't know how that little girl is doing now?

It should be, without herself staring at her, she may be even less motivated.

The sun shone through the trees, and Xuan Ye only felt warm all over his body, and he began to become drowsy again.

"When someone came, the old man hid first. ”

If it is known to humans from the outside world, it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Goodbye. ”

"Hehehe, since that guy hasn't been here in the past few years, it's been a long time since I've had such a pleasant conversation with someone. ”

Xuan Ye's body sank into the water little by little, and the water surface returned to calm, and it was quiet again.

"Hmmm......"

I pinched my chin, and I had some doubts in my heart, the purple that Xuan Ye said just now, I don't know if it is Yakumo purple? If so, then it means that it is also from Gensokyo.

But why is it here?

There are a lot of questions, but unfortunately no one can answer them for the time being.

There was a sound of a tree branch breaking, and someone was coming towards it......

"It's so hot! it's going to heat me to death. ”

Usa saw Renko walking lightly and lightly on the approach road with the heat waves, and felt like she was about to suffer from heat stroke.

"Please, don't scream, okay? If you shout like that, you'll only make yourself feel hotter. ”

Maalubelli stopped, turned and said dissatisfied.

It's just that at this time, she was already hot and sweating profusely.

"No way, it's really hot!"

If it weren't for the fact that the stone slab under his feet was too hot, Usa would have decided to sit down and not leave.

"I said, Melly, why did you come here at such a time?

At this time, the best thing to do is to stay in an air-conditioned room, read a book, or take a nap.

How can there be someone like them, who runs under the scorching sun to this place where birds don't, and climbs the mountain, it's just to find their own guilt.

"Of course I know it's better to come in the fall, but don't forget that we are all still students, and we still have to go to school at that time, where can we have time!"

Maelupelle replied that this was not the reason why she was in a hurry, and she didn't understand the real reason, but she just didn't want to continue to delay this matter that had been decided a long time ago.

"Alright, this is the first outdoor event of our 'Secret Seal Club' of the Girls, so you can get some energy! ”

"Alas, what a nuisance. ”

Obviously, her words didn't make Usami Renzi cheer up, and the other party still looked sluggish.

Seeing her companion like this, Maalubelli felt that it would be better to find a topic to divert her attention.

"Lianzi, do you know what 'Shenyin' is?"

"Kamikure, do you mean a story like Taro Urashima?"

"Well, actually, I've heard that something has happened in this place, and it's even more peculiar than Taro Urashima's. ”

"Tell me what kind of story is it?"

Usa saw that Renko's spirits were lifted, and she was intrigued by her partner's words.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly. ”

Maailubelli swallowed a mouthful of phlegm and moistened her throat.

"Legend has it that once upon a time there was a human village here, but one day, all of a sudden, the village disappeared, along with the inhabitants. There was not a trace of it, as if the village had never existed. ”

"Really?"

Usa felt a little unbelievable when she saw Renzi, and it was still understandable that one or two people were gone, and the entire village had disappeared, which was too exaggerated!

"I'm not sure. However, rumors have it that people often go missing in the vicinity of this place, and that's true. ”

"It's weird. ”

"That's right!"

Under the exposure of the scorching sun, the heads of the two members of the secret sealing group were smoking, and they finally reached the end of the approach.

"It's finally here! I'm exhausted. ”

Usa saw Renko sit on the ground with a non-ceasing ass, gasping violently. Although Maalubelli didn't do what she did, she also held her thighs with her hands, wiping her sweat and panting for breath.

After resting for a long time, the two of them felt a little better.

"Melly, you're busy coming to see you, can't this be it?"

Usa couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the dilapidated shrine in front of him.

"Well, it should be, right?"

Maa Lubelli was speechless for a moment, it was disappointing to wonder that the shrine was now in such a dilapidated state.

"It's been a trip for nothing!"

Usa couldn't help but wail when he saw Renzi, and he came to this sparsely populated place with great difficulty, but he didn't expect to see this kind of thing.

After calling for a long time, she found that her companion did not echo her, but stared blankly at the woods next to the shrine.

"What's wrong with you? ”

"There, there's something there. ”

Maalubelli muttered.

She didn't know what was in the woods, and she had a wonderful feeling.

"I'll take a look. ”

After she finished speaking, she pulled her legs and ran there.

"Well, Melly is waiting for me!"

Usa was startled when he saw Renzi, so he hurriedly got up and chased after him.

Following that feeling, Maalubelli rushed all the way into the dense bushes, and after running for I don't know how long, she only felt that her eyes lit up, and those pesky vines suddenly disappeared from her side.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the black-clothed young man standing by the pond, Maalubelli was stunned for a moment.
