The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Shou, Moriya Shrine?"

Upon hearing this familiar name, Wu Ye's smile suddenly froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something since the last change. Sure enough, he was right, he was actually waiting for him here.

"What's the matter, Wu Ye-kun?"

Looking at Wu Ye whose expression suddenly became completely different, Wen Wen asked strangely:

"Could it be because of that shrine?"

"Uh, okay, okay."

"Hey, what's going on? Are you an acquaintance?"

"Well"

Seeing the light of the paparazzi's soul, ahem, journalist's soul, burst out in Wenwen's eyes, Wu Ye's dangerous nerves immediately issued an early warning.

He has a 20,000% probability of believing that if he confesses here that in fact when he was in the outside world, he accidentally blew away the house of the lost shrine, and also had a fight with the opposite party, Wenwen would definitely not be indifferent.

As expected, the next day there would be some weird article about humans provoking gods, etc., appearing in the "Bunwen Shimbun" report, and then he would definitely be dead!

At least the other party was out of shape when they were in the outside world, and they also had Remilia's help at that time, but once the starting points on both sides of Gensokyo become the same, they will definitely be the one who will be defeated.

He had just witnessed the power of gods not long ago.

"Ah? Wu Ye-jun, why don't you speak?"

"Uh, ah, actually."

No, I have to come up with a topic that can bypass the other party, at least without attracting Wenwen's attention. What should I do? Here it is!

"Ahem."

Wu Ye stopped and coughed twice, pretending to be serious, and then said in a very calm tone:

"Ah, Miss Wenwen, you are talking about Moriya Shrine. Well, I am very familiar with it. When I was outside, I was friends with the gods and miko there who met frequently."

"Hey, this is the first time I've heard of it."

"Well, that's it. We are very good friends, so good that if we just pass by our house, we will definitely go in and be our guests."

Takeru didn't feel any shame and kept talking. If lying really made him grow a nose, his nose might have pierced the moon:

"So let's go another way. We don't have much time today. Although I also want to meet Miss Sanae and the others, I really don't have enough time today."

"So this is ah."

After all, Wenwen was not an insider. Although Wu Ye's statement was a bit strange, there was still more or less nothing wrong with it, and she had no need to doubt it.

"But if you don't follow the monster mountain, you will have to go around in a big circle from the other side."

"Uh, I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss Wenwen."

"It's okay, it's okay~"

Wenwen didn't mind these things. No matter how far away she was, it wasn't a problem at her speed. Even if she had to bring an extra warrior, maintaining a speed that humans could bear was a trivial matter.

Seeing that Wenwen had completely lost interest in his relationship with the lost shrine, Takeru breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously:

"Is the Santu River far away?"

"It should be considered quite far. After all, it is the boundary that separates the living and the dead."

After hearing Wenwen's explanation, Wu Ye joked:

"It's so far away. I thought the Santu River must be right on the edge of the underworld."

"Huh? Why do you think so?"

This time, Wenwen was surprised. She looked at Wuye in confusion:

"The other side of the Santu River and the underworld are completely in two different directions."

"Uh, is it so far away? I always thought that since ghosts, undead and the like are wandering in the underworld and the Santu River, they should be very close to each other."

"Well didn't the miko tell you anything?"

Wenwen's expression looked a little troubled. It seemed that the difference between the two people's worldviews was still a bit big. No, it should be said that Wuya still had too little understanding of the truth.

"How should I put it? Although the underworld and Santu River are both places where the undead gather, the concepts are different. The underworld is just a place where souls temporarily stay."

"For the time being, do you mean reincarnation in the underworld?"

"That's right, normal souls should go directly through the Zhongyou Road and then reach the Santu River to wait for the God of Death to send them to the other side. The King of Hell will then decide where to go after his judgment."

Seeing the curiosity in Wuye's eyes, Wenwen was happy to give him some knowledge, so he continued:

"After death, human beings will pass through the Zhongyou way, cross the Santu River, and then accept the judgment of the King of Hell. They will go to hell, underworld, etc. according to the severity of their sins. The underworld is where the sinless deceased becomes a Buddha or becomes a Buddha. The world where I stayed in a ghost state before reincarnation.”

"It turns out there is such a classification."

"This existed a long time ago, but the underworld is not as safe as it used to be."

"Hey, why? Isn't there Miss Yuyuko in charge?"

"Haha, it's just because of the undead princess that she's 'dangerous'."

Wenwen said with a half-smile:

"In her case, she would take action at will to leave the undead soul she likes in the underworld forever. In the case of the princess, isn't she such a willful person?"

"Well"

Takeru hadn't thought about this at all. After all, that person seemed to be such a gentle type. Even though they met in battle, Takeya could still feel the other's peaceful personality that didn't like fighting.

"Well, just remember this, Takeya. Maybe you will meet again after a while."

"after a while?"

"Won't Takeru die in a few decades? You are a human being."

".Thank you for reminding me."

Although youkai's sense of time is far beyond that of humans, it is still difficult to accept that decades of time are not taken seriously.

If we take Yakumo Murasaki as a simple example, it would be to the extent that if she had a good sleep, she would be able to offer incense to Reimu and him when she wakes up.

The so-called gap between monsters and humans is so huge.

"Okay, we're done talking. It's time for us to set off, right?"

As Wen Wen looked at Wu Ye, he nodded slightly, and the other person's hands still wrapped around his waist to pick him up. The amazing softness behind his back made Wu Ye's thoughts wander. In order not to be embarrassed, he hurriedly I found some topics:

"Wen, Miss Wenwen, speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, if we don't go through the Monster Mountain, how are we going to get around it?"

"Huh? This is very simple."

Flying into the sky with Wu Ye, watching the ground beneath his feet gradually recede, Wenwen first confirmed that the surrounding wind force was acceptable to humans, and then said:

"If you don't want to go to the Monster Mountain, then go through the path of second thoughts."

"The way to think again?"

"Ah, that's a road next to Wuyuan Tomb. It goes around the Lost Bamboo Forest and then passes through the Sunflower Field."

"The sun, the flower field?"

After catching an important word in Wenwen's words, Wu Ye asked again cautiously in order to confirm that he understood correctly:

"Are you talking about the Sun Flower Field, where the rumored tyrant of flowers lives?"

"right."

After listening to Wenwen's answer without any hesitation, Wu Ye stared at him in silence for three seconds——

"Miss Wenwen, I'm suddenly no longer interested in Santu River. How about we turn around and go back?"
