The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Your Majesty, do you smoke?"

"Need not."

"Your Majesty, do you want me to fan you?"

"Need not.!"

"Your Majesty, do you want me to buy you some wine?"

"No! Don't call me a king, call me a queen, cough cough, shut up!"

Rao Yiyouxiang's composure can't bear Wu Ye's attention, it's not that there's something about this guy's movements that makes her uncomfortable, but the contrast between the front and the back is so big that it's hard for her to adapt.

At this time, Wu Ye and You Xiang had left the Sun Flower Field and came to the Way of Rethinking in front of the Tomb of No Fate.

Holding a parasol in one hand, You Xiang looked extremely elegant, and she wasn't tired or embarrassed at all because of the previous two wars. No, it wasn't a big war at all, it was just a one-sided massacre.

Just a while ago, Wen Wen, who had just brought "reinforcements", left with "reinforcements", not for other reasons, but Kazami Yuka's strength is unmatched.

Sanae really isn't weak, but Youxiang is too strong, and Wu has only felt the same feeling from two other people, one is Yakumo Zi, and the other is Yayi Eirin.

However, although Yakumo Zi is powerful, she remains mysterious all the time. Even Wu Ye has never seen her seriously. She often pretends to be tender and cute, cough cough cough!

As for Yayi Yonglin, although she is also overwhelmingly powerful, her fighting style is somewhat similar to Reimu's. Although she will show her strong side, she will not simply crush her with overwhelming force. Like to do it step by step.

But Kazami Yuka was completely different from the two of them, she didn't have the slightest idea of ​​holding back or preserving her strength, she came up to crush the opponent with extremely domineering strength, that's how Sanae lost.

When Yuxiang released the magic cannon, Wu Ye was taken aback. It was a scene very similar to Yayi Yonglin's "Tianwan "The Heaven and Earth in the Pot"".

It's just that Yuxiang is too cruel in terms of density and the launch of ghosts and animals. If Wenwen didn't make a move at the end, Wuye might be able to meet Sanae again in Santuhe in a while.

Although Wenwen didn't make many shots before, and was scared away by Youxiang twice, her speed really surprised Wu Ye, and even Youxiang praised her in disguise afterwards——

"In terms of escape speed, she is definitely the number one in Gensokyo."

In short, after dealing with Sanae who accidentally came to seek revenge, Wu Ye and You Xiang moved towards the Santu River together, but because of Wu Ye's relationship, they stopped halfway.

"It's surprisingly easy to talk."

After glancing vaguely, he quietly squatted on the side of the road enjoying the fragrance of wild flowers, Wu Ye murmured to himself.

Previously, Wen Wen had learned about the route from the Sun Flower Field to the Santu River, and Wu Ye, out of curiosity, made You Xiang stop for a while on the road of rethinking.

"There's nothing here."

Wu Ye looked at the endless plains and this bare road with some disappointment:

"It obviously has such a special name, but it turns out to be an ordinary road."

"Is it ordinary? This should be the most special road for humans, right?"

"Eh?"

Takeru, who didn't expect Youxiang to actually talk to him, was a little stunned, but the other party didn't care and slowly explained to him:

"This is the place with the thinnest barrier in Gensokyo. Do you know the Tomb of Fate in front of it?"

"Ah, um, I've heard of it. It's said to be a grove used for suicide."

"That's right."

Youxiang, who was squatting on the ground, gently touched the wild flowers on the roadside and continued without raising her head:

"That's the cemetery for the undestined. There are often undestined people from the outside who accidentally enter here because of suicide. Look forward, do you see the sea of ​​red flowers?"

"That is."

Looking up, Wu Ye was surprised to find that the flowers blooming in the sea of ​​flowers were actually the types he was familiar with:

"Higanbana?"

"Yes, that is the real Higanbana, a beacon for the dead and a deadly poison for the living."

While gently pulling out the nearby weeds for the wildflowers, Youxiang continued:

"When humans who want to commit suicide pass by there, they will have weird hallucinations and unpleasant feelings because of the inhalation of flower poison, and then surge out the courage to live again. At this time, they will turn back because they want to live again. , so the road in front of the Tomb of No Chance is called the 'Path of Second Thoughts'."

"That's right."

Wu Ye felt a little melancholy, he didn't expect such a deep meaning in this sparse and ordinary path, but before he sighed for a long time, Youxiang's mocking laughter came:

"It's just that, because wild humans from the outside world can often be encountered here, many monsters will deliberately ambush here. Most of the humans who want to turn back are eaten by them. It's rare to want to live again, but they are actually killed. It’s really miserable if you eat it.”

"."

Seeing you smiling so happily, it seems those guys are indeed miserable.

Takeru's mouth twitched as he looked at the faint smile on Youxiang's face. Originally, he always felt that this was the only remaining tenderness of the tyrant, but now it seemed that he was obviously overthinking it.

"Well, now that your curiosity has been satisfied, let's continue walking."

"Um."

Wu Ye nodded and followed Yuxiang's footsteps towards the direction of Wuyuan Tomb.

"If you pass through here, you will find the Way of the Middle Way in front of you, and the Santu River will be behind you."

"It's finally here."

Looking back on the troubled journey along the way, Wu Ya is finally reaching his destination.

Wuyuan Tomb is a forest independent of the wilderness. The bare branches add a bit of desolation to this oasis in the desert.

It was still a sunny day outside, but the forest seemed to be covered with a layer of darkness, gloomy and cold. The tree trunks were obviously clean gray-white, but the soil on the ground was as dark as a poisonous swamp.

An uncomfortable sense of dissonance was the first feeling that Wu Ye felt when he walked in here.

Youxiang's footsteps in front of her didn't pause at all. She seemed completely unaffected. Yes, she was a big monster after all, so she wouldn't be deterred by this abnormality.

Realizing that he was lagging behind, Takeru quickly quickened his pace to catch up with Youxiang, but at this moment, a familiar murmur suddenly came to his ears:

"Beautiful cherry blossoms."

"who?!"

Suddenly hearing a third person's voice in this strange place, Wu Ye felt that his body temperature was rapidly dropping, but just when he turned his head following the sound, something strange happened.

"This, this is."

The bare tree trunks in the Misfortune Tomb are covered with purple cherry blossoms, like a dream, and the falling petals have a hint of mysterious beauty, which is fascinating.

"Beautiful cherry blossoms."

"She" is repeating the same words, and everything around her is clearly visible, except for "her" who looks like a blurred photo with only a rough outline, abruptly embedded in this wonderful scene. among the beautiful scenery.

Before he could speak, Wu Ye found inexplicably that his throat could no longer make a sound, and his heartbeat was accelerating at a terrifying rate. Looking at the cherry blossom forest, the scattered cherry blossoms seemed to be crying.

"Beautiful cherry blossoms."

"She" still said the same thing, but the tone was more sad than before.

A vague voice came towards him, still murmuring the same words. At that moment, Wu Ye clearly felt that his body was gradually dying. The moisture slipped from his face, and he reached out to brush away the purple seepage from the corners of his eyes. blood.

His feet could no longer support him standing, and Wu Ye weakly knelt on the ground. From the corner of his eye, he saw the owner of the voice approaching him step by step. With each step closer, "her" figure became clearer.

"Beautiful cherry blossoms. Beautiful cherry blossoms"

The same words are repeated mechanically, but the poignant beauty in the tone is getting stronger every time, like a dry lake, like withered leaves.

Finally, "she" walked up to Takeya. She was so beautiful in a kimono, with her long bangs covering her expression. She leaned down and gently touched Takeya's head with her cold hands. raised fingertips.

"Beautiful cherry blossoms."

Saying the same words, she stretched out her hand to pick up a cherry blossom that was still in the air. After the cherry-colored petals were completely stained with the black color of death and turned into ashes and flew away in the wind, she sighed with regret and desolation. :

"Such beautiful cherry blossoms. Are you right?"

With blood dripping from the corner of her eyes, she whispered his name——

"Takeru?"

".!"

Panting heavily with his mouth wide open, the imminent death was dispelled by the fresh air again. After returning to his senses, Wu just subconsciously covered his chest. "She", the cherry blossom forest, and the Tomb of No Destiny all disappeared before his eyes. Some are just the familiar ceiling
