Chapter 4: Hirori and the Shrine Maiden

Wu is also an extremely rare pure human in the god generation, but rare does not mean that there is none, such as the witch in front of him-

"So, what is a shrine maiden, don't call me by that strange way, can't you call me by my name?"

Another guy who is almost identical to Reimu, claiming to be Hakurei, as far as the current Takeya is concerned, even if this face can add a lot of credibility to him, he will not easily choose to agree.

"I came out to see it because I heard the troublesome commotion...... Can we treat each other as if we haven't seen each other? ”

Looking at Takeya's silent expression, the girl who called herself Bo Li shrugged helplessly: "Okay, it seems that it can't be done simply." ”

"You...... Not a believer? "Compared to lifeless believers, Bo Li's personality is too lively, that's why Wu Ye asked such a question.

"Even if I say no, you won't let me go, will you? The gods are like this, and this is really troublesome. ”

Scratching her head, Bo Li showed an extremely humane wry smile, and in the next second, bursts of spiritual power dispersed, and the spiritual power gushing out of her body circulated and converged in her hands, turning into the shape of a red and white intertwined ball.

The name and appearance may be fake, but the power is real, it will never deceive, it will not be wrong, that is-

"Bo Li, Yin Yang Jade ......" Wu Ye recognized the Yin Yang Jade in Bo Li's hand at a glance.

And Bo Li's movements were also stunned, and she looked at Takeya in surprise: "No, is it a god with the ability to predict?" I just gave it the name yesterday, and you would know it? ”

As he spoke, his cheeks turned crimson, and he thought he might feel ashamed to name him after him.

“......”

Looks like that's right.

Takeya let down the guard in his heart, and his tense nerves finally had a chance to relax, he took off his threatening eyes and said to Bo Li: "Please wait, Ling...... Miss Borei, actually, I'm also human. ”

“...... Yes? ”

.....

......

I thought it would be very troublesome to explain, but I didn't expect Bo Li's character to belong to the extremely big one, and a simple three or two sentences made her believe it.

Not only that, but she was told that she came from a village where many humans gathered, and she decided to take Takeya there..... And Miss Yonglin.

Although this is a bit inappropriate for Wu Ya, is it really okay to trust others so easily? He didn't talk about it, Yonglin was a real god.

"But you can't just let her go, can you? She was so badly injured that she would die if she was left in the wilderness. ”

After simply bandaging Yonglin's wounds, Bo Li's body burst out with a strong sense of responsibility that was completely different from Reimu's, calling it a one-sided discipline was too one-sided, it was already a saint-level characteristic.

"You're still ...... Pretty kind? ”

"Huh? Why interrogative sentences? ”

After the joke, Wu also looked at Miss Yonglin, who had a weak breath, and was embarrassed to trouble Bo Li with a girl, so he could only be responsible for carrying Yonglin and following Bo Li into the depths of the woods.

On the way, Bo Li looked back at Takeya curiously: "I'm still surprised to say that there are still lonely humans wandering outside." ”

Wu didn't explain anything, and opened the topic and asked, "I should say that I am surprised, there are countries ruled by gods everywhere, and you can actually hide under their noses, it's amazing." ”

It would be an accident to say that it was just Hakurei, but it would be strange if a group of humans who were not believers or monsters gathered together, and those gods could turn a blind eye.

"It's thanks to my friend."

Bo Li is very talkative and has nothing to hide from him: "Originally, it was impossible for a group of people like us to escape the eyes of the gods, so she came up with a solution. ”

"What's the solution?"

"It's a disguise," Hakuri smiled sheepishly, "although we are human, we are disguised as believers." ”

Wu also opened his mouth: "This is really a bold idea, it's easy to say, but it must be not easy to implement, right?" ”

"Actually, it's not too difficult."

Bo Li smiled awkwardly, these methods were all thought up by her friends, and now that she is showing off with Wu like this, she always has a feeling of weakness.

"We just pretend that we have a god to serve, and then we gather together as believers, you see, aren't there many gods who are weak themselves? In addition, the location we chose was also very remote, so there would be no great gods to pay attention to us. ”

"That's right."

Wu Ye nodded clearly: "Is your dress as a witch also for disguise?" ”

"So, what exactly is a shrine maiden?" Hakuri asked distressedly, "You've been saying a lot of things I don't understand since just now. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Calculating the time of the god generation, there is a cognitive gap between the two of them for about four thousand years, and it's not surprising that there are some incomprehensible things in communication, but even the witch doesn't know it's too strange, right?

Although he thought so, Wu Ye still explained Bo Li's confusion: "Hmm-how to say it, the so-called shrine maiden is a person who serves the gods, collects beliefs for the gods, is responsible for daily sacrifices, and prays...... Believers. ”

The conscience of heaven and earth,When he said this, Takeya's mind had always been based on the green hair of Shouya Shrine.,What kind of virtue is that witch in his own shrine, he is embarrassed to say.。

"I see." Borei's eyes lit up, and she nodded thoughtfully, falling into deep thought.

"Hirori?" Seeing that the other party was in a daze and almost hit his head on the tree, Wu also stopped the other party worriedly.

"Uh, it's okay, sorry, a little distracted." Bo Li waved her hand again and again, indicating that there was no problem.

At this time, they had already walked out of the dense forest and came to a slightly wider plain, but the density of spiritual power in the air here was not high, and there was a faint uncomfortable aura wandering.

Seeing Takeya frowning, Bo Li's face showed an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, the atmosphere here is very bad, right?" ”

"Indeed....... But there's no way around it. After a little thought, Wu also guessed the reason why the other party would choose such a stronghold, after all, only such a desolate and dilapidated place, and even a little ominous, would not arouse the interest of those gods.

"There are often dead souls wandering around, and those who seem to have a soft spot for this place, and we are almost there, just ahead."

After a hasty explanation, Hakurei took Takeya across the plain.

Along the way, the surrounding scenery gradually changed, and the withered yellow weeds of the wilderness were gradually replaced by a shocking red, like blood, like fire, like in full swing.

As if we had reached the end of the world, the flowers on the other side of the mountains and fields were full of sinking tranquility, the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects had stopped, and even time seemed to have stopped its steps.

At the front of the road, there was a lonely hill, and as she stepped up the decaying stone staircase, the sound of the river seemed to be heard on both sides, and when she looked up, the old torii gate stood at the end of the stone staircase.

The sound of children's laughter sounded in their ears, the sun set on the dilapidated old wooden houses, and the night was about to fall, and the children who lit the bonfires were holding hands and singing old songs.

The familiar feeling brought by the unfamiliar picture, Wu Ye only felt that he was being pushed, and when he saw that it was Bo Li, she woke up Wu Ye, who had fallen into a stupor, and led him into the picturesque world.

Inadvertently, a wisp of breeze drifted by, and the flowers on the other side of the mountain that bloomed quietly at the foot of the mountain swayed, like a blood-colored torrent, submerging the way home......
