People in hell, boss four seasons

The dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground have not been cleaned up for an unknown period of time. Wen Yao stepped on the soil covered with fallen leaves and made a "russling" sound.

The ruined scene continued from the foot of the mountain to the end of the path, and Wen Yao continued to walk deep into the monster mountain.

"It looks like we've arrived at our destination."

From the map, this place should be a gentle slope, but before Wen Yao's eyes, there is still the same repeated scene as before. If it is just an ordinary person, it is really easy to be deceived by the scene in front of them, and then think that there is an error in the map. It is no wonder that few people find this deserted village again.

Repeated scenery can easily lead ordinary people into confusion, which is why people often get lost in the mountain of monsters. On the side of the road, you can see a broken corner of rotting clothes in the mud, which should be humans who have lost their way in the mountain.

The Tale of Tono, which was included in the Hida family, once recorded a story about "a person with no intention of breaking into this place unintentionally", but in the end, when the woman wanted to bring someone back here to look for it, she couldn't find the way.

This also makes the Lost House even more mysterious among people.

"Obviously we have reached our destination, but we still can't get the point, and we can only sit in the mountains..."

For humans, exposing corpses to the wilderness is really not a good ending.

Feeling compassionate, Wen Yao piled the surrounding soil into a mound where the bones were.

The surrounding scene began to become blurred, and the mist surrounding the whole body could be vaguely seen. The muddy path turned into a long ancient step, and a red torii gate stood at the end, which should be the entrance of the village.

Wen Yao raised his eyebrows, the completely unintentional move was the key to enter the enchantment, which made Wen Yao a little surprised by Yakumo Zi's design.

The village is surrounded by fences, and only the torii gates are left for people to pass through. The marble stairs still maintain their original appearance under the erosion of years, and there are crisp sounds accompanied by Wen Yao's footsteps.

Walking to the highest point, looking in through the torii gate, it is indeed a wide flat land as described on the map.

The village obviously has a certain scale, but it is dilapidated because no one has lived in it for a long time. Most of the brick and tile houses can't even see the complete appearance. The collapsed scene is the main theme of the village.

On the side of the mountain is a large piece of wasteland, with a rushing stream flowing through it. It should have had a good harvest in the past, but now there are only large areas of weeds spreading and crawling in it.

The only road that can be regarded as complete is the road from the torii gate at the entrance of the village to the village. Except that it is covered with a thick layer of dust, there is no serious damage.

Continue to walk towards the center of the village. Along the way, you can see the general layout of the village. Occasionally, you can hear subtle running sounds around, and the calls of wild cats are very clear in the quiet atmosphere.

It doesn't look like I'm looking in the wrong place.

Wen Yao continued to walk forward calmly.

Sharp screams came from all directions, it was the group of cats swearing to Wen Yao, who was the intruder, that they had the right to occupy this deserted village.

The purpose of Wen Yao's coming here was not to declare war on the cats, so he stopped cooperatively.

"Human, what are you doing here?"

Chapter 71 First Visit to Yakumo Residence

"Human, what are you doing here?"

Wearing a green hat with lotus leaves, which is the usual style of the Yakumo family, revealing short brown hair and brown-black cat ears, a golden earring hangs on the left ear, and dark brown pupils are piercing.

A red dress with golden strokes, a white bow tie on the chest, and two brown and black tails protruding from behind, aiming to leave a touch of white at the tip.

Perhaps the completely animalized Two-tailed Cat does have a certain lethality. Although she has tried her best to make a majestic appearance, the young girl-like Cheng in front of her really makes Wen Yao feel no fear.

Shikigami is a very magical existence. It is not a race, but a means to obtain higher abilities by relying on ghosts and gods. Since Orange is enslaved by Yakumo Lan, who is also a shikigami, Orange's ability is even With the blessing of shikigami state, it will not be too strong.

In Yakumolan's words, although she is already a cat demon with a human form, she actually only looks very smart, and her real IQ is probably a little stronger than that of Cirno.

The name Qi Lunuo, Wen Yao heard this name when he visited Teacher Huiyin's temple house with Master Siji, it is said that it is a goblin who can't count to two digits, so it looks like the orange in front of him I probably wouldn't be smart enough to go anywhere.

Wen Yao blushed slightly.

"I am the god of death from hell, entrusted by Master Four Seasons to visit Lord Youkai Sage."

If it was normal, Wen Yao might still be interested in teasing this little kitten, but now that he has something important to do, Wen Yao temporarily put his mind to rest and honestly declared his name.

Naturally, he didn't believe that Yakumo Zi needed Orange to report, and his every move had already been watched in the gaps when he entered Gensokyo.

Rather than saying that he was waiting for Cheng to inform him, it would be better to say that he was waiting for Yakumo Zi's permission.

"Cheng, bring brother Wen in."

The gap opened a gap in front of Wen Yao that could accommodate an adult. In the deep darkness, the scarlet eyes released the deepest malice in the world, as if there were countless hideous monsters lurking.

Even though he has seen her more than once, Wen Yao still subconsciously feels an unspeakable discomfort.

It is purely physical nausea, not fear caused by fear. There is no invincible rule in the Great Barrier, and Yakumo Zi's power is far from reaching the level of the goddess of hell in Wen Yao's view. , an object that can be knocked down, but because he doesn't want to break the rules of Gensokyo, he doesn't intend to fight with it.

The state of Gensokyo's world is in a very awkward position. Although there are many abilities that can be called bug levels, they cannot achieve higher strength due to certain restrictions. It seems that the rules of this world deliberately limit the development of monster abilities. Wen Yao can't explain the reason.

Calmly and calmly following Orange across the boundary between the gap and the present world, it was as if all the light was completely swallowed by the darkness, leaving only two strange tones of dark red and pure black around.

This is Wen Yao's opportunity to observe the environment inside the gap so closely.

The light stops here, and the darkness breeds weirdness. Wen Yao can't tell the composition of those bloody red eyes densely distributed everywhere.

It is not so inconceivable for a person with a weak will to lose himself in the gap, or go crazy directly. Such a weird environment is indeed depressing, but for Wen Yao, who can survive the direct gaze of the ancient gods, this environment cannot shake his mind.

If it was in another world, Yakumo Zi might still have the possibility of becoming an "ancient god".

Of course, this is only in Wen Yao's mind. After all, the ancient gods he has seen are all indescribable existences, Yakumo Zi's crime is not limited to this.

It's hard to feel the passage of time in the gap, and I don't know how long I have been with Cheng, but in just a split second, my eyes suddenly brighten up.

This is the interior of Yakumo Residence.

The tidy hall was spotless, Yakumo Zi was lying sideways on the soft cushion at the moment, with a lazy expression.

The existence of Yakumo Mansion is very strange. Wen Yao can't accurately sense the exact location of his existence, but it is roughly certain that it is located at the junction of Gensokyo and the outside world. It probably uses some kind of superposition effect of space, Wen Yao guessed in his heart.

The location of the mansion is changing all the time. If Wen Yao does not go directly to this place through the gap between the monster and the sage, it will probably take Wen Yao more than double the time to figure out part of the clues of the Yakumo mansion, perhaps the location of the Yakumo mansion. There has been no change in real life, but it is much more difficult to make the unchanged house show different positions at all times than the application of space rules on the ordinary level.

"Brother, is there anything going on this time?"

Yakumo Zi didn't want to accept the fact that Wen Yao came to her door to bother her personally, but let's listen to what Wen Yao will say. If she pays the corresponding price, she, the monster sage, doesn't mind. Loosen your muscles and bones.

I've been sleeping a lot lately, so it's time to be active.

"It's about the Hiida family..."

Every paragraph of "Fantasy Township Origin" will be required to be sent to Zi Yakumo for review. Patriarch Painida is indeed a very important existence to Zi Yakumo.

Wen Yao's narration has aroused Yakumo Zi's concern. As for the fact that the Hirada family may threaten the harmony of Gensokyo and monsters, Yakumo Zi will naturally not let such a thing continue to ferment.

Control any dangerous factors at the first time, this is what the monster sage has always been doing.

In fact, there are not a few reincarnations who have invaded Gensokyo over the years, but most of them have already received their lunch boxes without even seeing the true face of Gensokyo. For those souls and humans who suddenly appeared in Gensokyo without warning, Yakumo Zi always has the mentality that he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

"What do you want me to do?"

Yakumo Zi can even be regarded as ignorant of soul-level problems. The power of the realm cannot be blessed with soul-related problems, and she has no way to solve the problem of the incomplete soul of Patriarch Painida.

"I don't need Miss Zi to do anything, just provide me with Miss 'Watermelon''s current location..."

Wen Yao thought for a moment, then continued.

"If you don't mind, when I'm busy, I'll try my best to keep Painida Aqiu safe..."

After saying the above paragraph, Wen Yao took out a squarely folded spell card from the pocket of his jacket.

"I think the value of this spell card should be my reward."

Chapter 72 Conditions that cannot be refused

What is Yokai Sage's favorite?

The answer may be many.

But if you want to pick one of them as a gift for a visit.

This in itself is a false proposition.

Possessing the ability of gaps and realms, Zi Yakumo rarely has something that he cannot get, and such a gift loses its original meaning.

Then you might as well change your mind.

What do monster sages need most?

Needs often mean that it is difficult to complete and collect, and as one of the defenders of this Gensokyo, what Miss Zi lacks most is the means to strengthen Hakurei's Great Barrier.

Even if he sacrificed most of his energy to maintain the operation of the Great Barrier, even to the point where 24 hours a day could be split into 25 hours of rest, the fragility of the Great Barrier is still an unavoidable topic.

The spell card rules only have a rough prototype, and there is still a long time before the actual implementation of the spell card rules. Before the formal implementation of the spell card rules, how to maximize the stability of the enchantment is the problem Yakumo Zi should think about.

"What is the effect of this spell card?"

Rock Talisman [Immaculate as Gold Soup] is the name of this spell card, which is the ability that Wen Yao copied from a certain retired god.

Although the laws of the two worlds are different, there are rocks in the end, but here I prefer to use soil to refer to it, but in that world, this talisman has a more famous name, 【Hundred No Taboo】

This is a condition Yakumo Zi absolutely cannot refuse.

"The ability to strengthen the barrier, of course, if Miss Zi feels that she will still be in danger in Gensokyo, it is not impossible to use it for self-defense, but strengthening the barrier is my original intention, since I have already planned to settle here, I also don't hope that one day this enchantment will break a big hole."

The experience in the gap did not have any adverse effects on Wen Yao's spirit.

What a strange man.

Miss Zi thought so.

Possessing the ability to surpass herself, but willing to exchange her trust at a more expensive price, such an attitude has made Yakumozi change a lot in front of the Death God under Yan Moyu.

Let's just say he's a trustworthy guy.

If the previous words were just teasing, then now she really has the idea of ​​marrying Yakumo Lan, um... maybe Orange is more suitable, Yakumo Zi is a little distressed, either she is too old or too young, Yakumo's family can't find a girl who meets the requirements of Lori.

However, these thoughts only stayed in Yakumo Zi's mind for a short time, and she was not "frenzied" to the point where she really married her shikigami.

"For Cuixiang, you should go to the Hakurei Shrine. She said she would go there to visit the Hakurei Miko."

Leaving from the old capital naturally intends to start a new life in Gensokyo. Even the Oni King who lived in Gensokyo for a period of time cannot escape the control of the shrine maiden. Originally, he sneaked around the seal and escaped, so it is better to show his face in front of Hakurei Miko.

"As for the matter of the Hida family, I have agreed... However, regarding the matter of Hida Aqiu, you should have a better candidate than me."

Although the gap can monitor all corners of Gensokyo at all times, but with such a large monitoring area, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. It is impossible for Yakumo Zi to be free enough to stare at the gap every day, even if he is distracted occasionally. Observing the noteworthy places in Gensokyo from time to time is enough to exhaust the youkai sage who uses all his demon power to maintain the operation of the Great Barrier.

"Hinida Ami, Kamishirasawa Huiyin, and Shemei Maruwen are all good friends. Suzunaan's family has always been friends with the Hida Patriarch. This generation seems to be a little girl named Motou Kosuzu, and the reincarnated Ah. Qiu is almost a few years old, Ling Nai'an is a bit weird, and it may be helpful in the future, I don't know..."

Zi Yakumo frowned at the weirdness that she, who had absolute control over Gensokyo, hadn't noticed. She didn't dare to take it lightly.

Gensokyo is still very fragile. If the other party really has bad intentions for Gensokyo, it is better to be prepared.

Youkai sage spends very little time going out, but he is very clear about the internal changes in Gensokyo and the friendship between the characters.

Some of them were learned from Yakumo Lan or Orange, and most of them were peeped through the gaps.

Yakumo Zi rubbed her forehead tiredly, getting up in the middle of the day really didn't fit her schedule, it seemed that the afternoon rest time should be extended appropriately.

"If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Originally, he came here because of the Hida family's affairs, and knowing the possible whereabouts of Ibuki Suika, and also got Yakumo Zi's promise, Wen Yao didn't intend to continue bothering.

It can be seen that my visit disturbed Miss Zi's work and rest. If it wasn't because this matter was really important, I think the treatment I received would be even worse.

"Lan, help me send brother Wen Yao off."

She is going to continue to rest.

Hearing his master's call, the nine-tailed fox, who was cleaning the inner room wrapped in an apron, hurried out.

She arched her body in front of Yakumo Zi before turning her body to Wen Yao's direction.

"Lord Wen Yao, please go this way."

The direction of Yakumolan's finger opens a gap. In order to facilitate her shikigami to assist her in managing the Great Barrier, Yakumolan also has the right to use the gap.

This time it was completely different from the feeling of entering Yakumo Mansion before. Wen Yao had already appeared in the middle of the animal path just as he was walking in and out.

"Sent me directly to the foot of the Hakurei Shrine, which fits my ideas very well."

Go find Suika Ibuki for help first, and check Lumia's situation by the way.

According to Gilgamesh, the monsters in that world seem to be closely related to the human evils he is familiar with. At that time, he can try to take Rumia with him, and it is best to solve the hidden dangers of the shrine once and for all.

It was not the first time that he had walked through this mountain path, and the monster hidden in the bushes had completely lost interest in Wen Yao, and instead retreated automatically as if seeing a plague god, and the rustling noises quickly disappeared on the mountain path.

Wen Yao walked safely to the flat ground on the top of the mountain, and the familiar torii gates and shrines appeared in Wen Yao's eyes.

Hakurei Miko, who had nothing to do, was sitting at the tea table drinking the tea that had been brewed several times as before, and the energetic little Reimu was pulling Rumia to play in the courtyard, as if "one, two, three, Wooden Man" game.

Wen Yao quickly found the main target he was looking for on this trip.

"I really think of the shrine as my own home..."
