575 Shrine Maiden and Gensokyo, it was just a small dream

: Christmas Eve was sent in advance, a 6,000-word long chapter, two in one.

After chatting with Youxiang for almost half an hour, Lin Luo followed him intact, but when he came out, his nose and face were already blue and swollen, because he basically told everything about the divine war, including that confession, of course, so the annoyed and angry Queen Youxiang beat him up, and he didn't have to fight back, although even if he fought back, he couldn't beat him.

From this, we can see that the teachings of the revolutionary martyrs are very correct...... Confess leniently, sit in prison, resist strictly, and go home for the New Year.

"Really, is it necessary to hit so hard......" Lin Luo complained in a low voice as he walked, and at the same time performed a "face changing technique", and finally brought the pig's head three back.

Complaining is complaining, but Lin Luo's mood is inversely proportional to the expression on his face. With the domineering power of Queen Yuxiang and the spirit that cannot be provoked, if you are really angry, it is definitely not as simple as beating up, but directly blasting out the double-barreled magic cannon. But she is only punishing a small punishment now, although the unhappiness in her heart is definitely inevitable, but the bigger reason is to find a step down...... To put it bluntly, is it to make a petty character, or is it tsundere?

Lin Luo is not the kind of emotionally dull man in the harem anime, he is used to seeing countless love scenes in the anime and game world, and he can still guess a thing or two about Feng Jian Yuxiang's thoughts, of course, he will not say anything now, nor will he promise anything, everything will be left for later.

"Laughing so lasciviously, did you encounter anything good?" At this time, Lin Luo suddenly heard a girl's voice from above, looked up, and saw Yakumo Zi sitting in her gap, holding a folding fan in her right hand, and holding a large wine bowl in her right hand and smiling at herself with bad intentions.

"I don't remember ever laughing, and it was a lewd laugh." Lin Luo was powerless to complain.

"Isn't it?" In a flash, Yakumo Zi had already come to Lin Luo's side, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile, "I remember that I just saw that someone and someone were doing something somewhere, isn't that a good thing?" ”

"Hey, hey, can you stop talking so warmly, Mosaic doesn't fight like you." Lin Luo almost rushed to the street, and said these words from Zi Ma's mouth, the innocent thing between him and Youxiang was afraid that it was going to be wrapped in a layer of yellow, and it was a very secretive kind.

"But then again, you're really idle, not going to drink with your drinking buddies, and actually coming to spy on me." Lin Luo rolled his eyes and indirectly expressed his dissatisfaction.

However, Yakumo Zi didn't care at all, or directly ignored Lin Luo's dissatisfaction, and said: "I'm not the only one who is idle, Cui Xiang and the paparazzi were also with me just now." ”

"I'll rely on ......" Lin Luo almost vomited blood, the three voyeurs were together, and Zi Ma saw the matter between herself and Youxiang again, so the result is self-explanatory. Cui Xiang is not a big mouth, it may be nothing to be seen by her, but the paparazzi is different, with her dedication and ability to reverse black and white, she will definitely make her own affairs into big news, and I am afraid that she will have another scandal at that time.

No way! Lin Luo felt that he couldn't sit still, and he had to train her before the paparazzi made the news, otherwise his good reputation would be in danger, but as soon as he raised his foot, Yakumo Zi stood in front of him.

"Why are you in such a hurry, let's have a drink with me first." Yakumo Zi took out a wine glass from the gap, containing half a bowl of wine, and handed it to Lin Luo.

"I've got something serious to do, and I'm not free right now." Lin Luo walked around her and walked forward.

"What's the matter?" Yakumo's purple gap moved, and it blocked in front of him again.

“…… You're knowingly asking. Lin Luo was speechless, he could see that Zi Ma's pure heart was here to trouble him, and it was estimated that the paparazzi would be so powerful to evade his perception, and eighty percent of them were also playing tricks.

"Don't worry, there will be no scandal or anything, as long as you agree to drink with me." Yakumo Zi smiled, her tone full of temptation and a taste that could not be refused.

...... "Well, he guessed right, the mastermind is this purple mother."

Looking at Zi Ma's posture, Lin Luo knew that it was probably impossible for him to leave, anyway, it was not a matter of minutes for the paparazzi to make a news newspaper, so it was better to get this Zi Ma done first.

Thinking of this, Lin Luo no longer refused, and simply took the wine glass and raised his head to take a few sips.

Seeing that Lin Luo drank so crisply and refreshingly, Yakumo Zi laughed again, and then said an incomparably thunderous word, "By the way, this bowl of wine is Reimeng's, and she also drank half a bowl, and there may be her saliva in it." ”

Burst!

Lin Luo sprayed directly, almost choking half to death.

"I said, what the hell do you want to do?" He looked at Yakumo Zi with a bitter face, and I have to say that Zi Ma is indeed a unique monster, capable of others, and I am afraid that only she can say such sharp words.

"I didn't want to do anything, I just told you." Yakumo shrugged as if nothing had happened.

“…… Okay, let's not go around in circles, you just say, what's the matter with me? Lin Luo knew that Zi Ma made a special trip to intercept him, and he would definitely not just drink alcohol, if he wanted to find a drinking friend, where could he not find it, could he come to toss himself.

Yakumo Zi glanced at him, smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and suddenly went up in the gap.

What the? Lin Luo felt a little inexplicable, although Zi Ma was laughing just now, there seemed to be something hidden in her eyes, quite a kind of "big brother" before he died...... Could it be that the time limit for Zi Ma has arrived?

With mixed feelings, Lin Luo soared day by day...... Oh no, it's Feitian.

Yakumo Zi sat on the gap, Lin Luo stood next to him, the two of them were at least a thousand meters away from the ground at the moment, looking down, the Hakurei Shrine was very lively, drinking and chasing, each of them was immersed in the happiness of the banquet...... It's like a paradise in Gensokyo.

"I've lived in Gensokyo for a long time...... Well, to be precise, I was here before Gensokyo. Yakumo Zi looked straight ahead, looking at the sky and earth of Gensokyo, and the happy smile on his face gradually faded, and there was only a faint chuckle as if he was remembering, as if talking to himself.

"At first, Gensokyo was just a small area hidden deep in the mountains as a village far away from humans, but with the development of human technology, humans are no longer afraid of the night and youkai, and youkai have lost the faith necessary for survival, so this Gensokyo is born. In this era when mankind has forgotten the horror of demons and monsters, this is the only place that is a sacred place for monsters......"

Lin Luo understands this, with the rapid development of science and technology, the outside world has reached the near future era, creatures like monsters and demons, the vast majority of people do not believe in their existence, and without the fear of humans, monsters will not be able to survive in the outside world, which is also the reason why the great enchantment of Gensokyo will be established.

The Great Enchantment was jointly established by Yakumo Murasaki and the first Hakurei Shrine Maiden, the first Hakurei Shrine Maiden has long since died, although it is rumored that she has defeated Yakumo Murasaki, but after all, she is only a human being, and no matter how strong she is, she will have the end of her life. If you want to say who loves Gensokyo the most in Gensokyo, there is no second person except Yakumo Zi, but what Lin Luo doesn't understand is what she means by saying this, is it just to remember the past?

Lin Luo was puzzled in his heart, and Yakumo Zi continued: "Reimu is a very competent witch, although she is usually very lazy, but her ability is really very good, and when it comes to the critical time, she will work hard for Gensokyo." Ever since she took the place of the previous generation of dead shrine maidens to protect Gensokyo, Gensokyo has been safe, but some things are useless no matter how good their abilities are, and they will still come when the time comes. ”

Lin Luo could hear that there seemed to be a trace of worry and uneasiness in Yakumo Zi's tone, which made him feel a little nervous at the same time as he was surprised, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" ”

Yakumo Zi turned his head, and the eyes that seemed to be able to see the past and the future, and recognize fantasy and reality, shot directly on Lin Luo's face, and where the eyes intersected, he said in a condensed voice: "Death." ”

"Huh?!" Lin Luo's heart sudden, and he was also shocked by Yakumo Zi's words, "Death? ”

The corners of Yakumo's mouth curled into a sarcastic smile, "Isn't it?" The life of human beings is only a few decades, even if they live longer, they are only more than a hundred years at most, although in this Gensokyo can slow down the aging of people, but as long as it is still a human being, a hundred years and two hundred years have passed, and one day there will be death, no matter how powerful the force is, it can't be stopped, and you know what? As long as you are a Hakurei shrine maiden, you will never live long, sixty years is a limit, and none of the past generations of Gensokyo's shrine maidens have lived past sixty years old. ”

Sixty years is a limit, and Lin Luo has heard of this setting before, and originally thought it was just a rumor, but listening to Yakumo Zi's current tone, it should be true...... Reimu Hakurei won't live to be sixty years old!

But Reimu is not yet twenty years old, so it seems too early to worry about the limit. What's more, Reimu is now possessed by the Heart of the World and is blessed with a more mysterious power, which Yakumo Purple is also clear, so isn't her worry a bit worrying?

For Zi Ma suddenly becoming so sentimental, Lin Luo felt very disobedient, as if it was not the senior sister who had a severed head, but Hei Changzhi, and the melancholy was not Spring but the big cute god, it would definitely feel weird. But then again...... Headless Black Nagastraight Persona, Nagato Yuki's melancholy, if you accept such a setting, it may also be interesting.

Unconsciously, Lin Luo began to be imaginative, but his mouth asked, "How many generations are there in the Boli witch?" ”

Yakumo Zi didn't hide it either, and blurted out, "Twelve generations." ”

"This ......" Lin Luo frowned, he now somewhat understood Yakumo's worries.

It has been almost 500 years since Gensokyo built the Hakurei Great Enchantment, but there are twelve generations of Hakurei shrine maidens, which means that there are several generations of shrine maidens who have not even lived to be sixty years old? Sixty years old may not be a short life for ordinary humans, but in this Gensokyo, compared to those youkai who live for thousands of years or more, it is simply a flash in the pan, and not all shrine maidens can live to be sixty years old.

It's like some flowers that only live for one day, and although for the flowers themselves, their day is a long life, but for humans who are obsessed with the beauty of the flower, a day is very short. From sunrise to sunset, it was fleeting, and I couldn't accurately grasp when the flower would pass away, so I was in a state of panic.

"Actually, there is another thing, the longer the Great Barrier is established, the shorter the lifespan of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden......" Yakumo Purple suddenly sighed, looked up into the distance and said again, "Take the ancestor witch as an example, she died before she even lived to be thirty years old, and when she passed away, she was no different from a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, I can still remember what she told me before she died." ”

The first witch is not yet thirty years old, which is indeed surprising enough, but Reimu is possessed by the heart of the world, Lin Luo doesn't believe that she will have a short life, at this moment what he cares more about is what the ancestor Wu said, Yakumo Zi put it so solemnly, it shouldn't be an ordinary word.

"What?"

Hearing Lin Luo ask, Yakumo Zi seemed to imitate the tone of the ancestor and said, "Well, Reimu must be able to protect Gensokyo instead of me...... After saying this, she left with a smile. ”

Lin Luo was slightly stunned, this doesn't seem to be of great significance, right?

"By the way, I think Reimu seems to have picked it up, right?" He suddenly remembered that according to Marisa, Reimu was an abandoned baby.

Yakumo Zi nodded, "She is an outcast, and the ancestors will be cultivated as the next generation of witches after picking her up, in fact, I was a little against it at the time, although Reimu was born with strong spiritual power, and has a strong fighting instinct, but it is too far behind any generation of witches before her, and I can see from the first glance that her character is not suitable for being a Hakurei witch." ”

"The ancestors are stronger than Reimu?" Lin Luo was taken aback, in his opinion, Reimu was already quite strong...... Especially if you can turn into a ghost witch, it's not much better than a super Saiyan.

"Of course." Yakumo Zi smiled slightly, in an unquestioning tone, "Even without the ability of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, the ancestors can be ranked among the strongest in Gensokyo." Take the ancestor Hakurei shrine maiden as an example, although her spiritual power is not as good as Reimu, but her invincible physical skills, even if you have to retreat even if you see Yuka, the ten Reimu are not her opponents combined, she is known as the wonderful culling witch in paradise. ”

"Wonderful culling witch ......" Rao is Lin Luo couldn't help but be dumbfounded, his physical skills actually surpassed Fengjian Yuxiang, it was really perverted to the extreme. If what Yakumo said is true, then the legend that the first generation has defeated her is probably also true, or every generation of witches before Reimu is the strongest in Gensokyo.

It seems that Lingmeng Chengguan still needs to practice more, otherwise it is really not as good as so many predecessors.

"So, are you still satisfied with the current Reimu?" Lin Luoluo asked with interest.

"What do you say?" Yakumo Zi didn't answer the rhetorical question, it was obvious that the expression on her face should be satisfied, "I won't let the shrine maiden leave Gensokyo no matter what, no one can do it!" ”

This seemed to be her self-determination, but it was more like it was said to Lin Luo. Then, without waiting for Lin Luo to speak, Yakumo Zi sighed again, "But Reimu is only a human after all, and sooner or later there will be a day of death, and this is the only thing I can't stop." ”

"So what?"

"So I have to prepare as soon as possible and find someone who can take her place before Reimu dies."

Although there is nothing wrong with Yakumo's approach, she also said that death cannot be stopped, and in order for Gensokyo to continue to exist, it is necessary to find people, because Gensokyo cannot live without a Hakurei shrine maiden. Moreover, none of the ancestors lived past the age of thirty, so it is difficult to imagine how long Reimu will live......

But Lin Luo was still a little uncomfortable when he heard it, not only Reimu, but also the witches of the past generations, they protected Gensokyo, but no one could protect them, as if they were just props that existed for Gensokyo...... This kind of fate is also a bit sad.

"Pathetic?" Yakumo seemed to know what he was thinking, and looked back at him.

"Well, that's what I thought." Lin Luo did not hide the thoughts in his heart.

"But that's the price."

“…… Reimu, I don't think I'll die early. ”

"Hmph, who knows." Yakumo Zi was noncommittal, and then frowned, "But it's really not easy to find a witch who can replace Reimu......" As she spoke, her gaze looked at Lin Luo again.

"Wait! What are you looking at me for? Lin Luo was startled, "I can't be a Boli witch!" ”

"You're thinking too much." Yakumo Zi unceremoniously killed Lin Luo's illusion, which made him somewhat relieved, but the other party's next sentence made him worry again.

I saw Yakumo Zi supporting his chin with both hands, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a strange smile, "However, I suddenly thought of a good idea, since I can't find the ideal person, then make one by myself...... If you combine the mystery of Gensokyo with your mystery, what do you think will happen? ”

"What do you mean?" Lin Luo immediately frowned and asked, Mystery and mystery combined? He faintly smelled of conspiracy.

"Well, don't care, it's just an inconsequential little thing, but it should be a good thing for you." Yakumo Zi didn't seem to reveal what he meant, and waved his hand, signaling Lin Luo to feel at ease.

Can Lin Luo feel at ease? No, such a move made him even more uneasy, "Wait, you're not going to have some bad ideas again, are you?" "With Zi Ma's black belly, if he has any ideas, he will definitely not believe that it is a good thing.

"How is it possible, I'm really doing something good this time." Yakumo Zi looked innocent.

"Then I'll give you back...... How can it be! Lin Luo glanced at her, and suddenly he remembered something, took out the Heart of Space from the Book of Contracts, and stretched out to Yayun Zi, "By the way, do you want this?" ”

He wants to seduce Zi Ma, there is no doubt about this, after all, Zi Ma's strength is there, if he gets her, maybe Gensokyo will be done directly, and more importantly, ...... If Zi Ma is the host and then signs her, then no matter what bad ideas she makes, she can know about it, and with Zi Ma's ability, the fit between the heart of space should be above eighty.

Yakumo Zi opened his eyes and looked at it for a while, then a chuckle flashed on his face, and with a snap, the fan was closed in the palm of his hand, his body was close to Lin Luo, and the scorching breath spewed on Lin Luo's face, and he said in a seductive voice, "You, do you want me to be your mer?" ”

“…… Well, I was wrong. "Sure enough, hitting the idea on Zi Ma was wrong from the beginning.

…… The banquet at the Hakurei Shrine continues, and Lin Luo and Yakumo Zi once again blended into the lively atmosphere of the banquet after they separated, although Yakumo Zi's words made him care a lot, but it shouldn't be a big deal except for pranks, the problem is her level of pranks.

Yakumo Purple was still sitting in the gap at a height of a thousand meters, drinking wine while looking at the entire Gensokyo, whether it was the banquet below or the scenery in the distance, all reflected in her eyes.

More than 500 years ago, everything in Gensokyo was in her heart.

Looking at it, Yakumo suddenly closed her eyes, and the first scene appeared in her memory......

"Did you know it would end like this?" It was just when the Hakurei Great Barrier had just been completed, and Yakumo was sitting by the fire, the sky was drizzling, and her golden hair was covering her eyes, but it couldn't hide the sadness on her face.

"We borrowed power from the dragon god, and this is the price." Sitting with her was a white-clad and black-haired shrine maiden, whose beautiful and gentle face reflected in the flickering firelight.

"If you want to disappear one, wouldn't it be more beneficial for you to destroy me, a monster, by the way?"

"Because...... You have lived longer than I have, you love this land more than I do, I can see every one of your fiery and lonely dreams. Yakumo, please be strong, even if my life is gone, my spirit is intertwined with your dreams, and it will continue forever. Now I will set off and go to another battlefield, please, and only you, I will entrust everything in Gensokyo to you, as my eyes, my hands ......" After saying this, the young and beautiful shrine maiden had turned into a little spark and disappeared in front of Yakumo Murasaki.

The foundation of Gensokyo's establishment is the power of the dragon god, and the price of making a wish to the dragon god is life, and a life must disappear between Yakumo Murasaki and the first Hakurei shrine maiden.

For a shrine maiden who has disappeared for more than five hundred years, no matter how familiar the face once was, it will become blurred with the passage of time, and that is something that no force can stop, but ...... Only that sentence has always remained in Yakumo Zi's heart.

"Then, you'll see Gensokyo's dreams."

…… Opening his eyes from the memory, I don't know when, Yakumo Zi's eyes already had a little bit of crystal tears, but there was a faint sad smile like nostalgia on his face, he picked up the wine glass, spilled the wine inside into the land, looked up at the sky, and reflected all the scenery into his dream.

"Ah, now do you see my dream? Is there a more beautiful land than when you left, and I will continue to guard it, and you and I will ...... forever."

The wine fell to the earth and sank into the ground...... To the first shrine maiden!
