The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Tsk, I knew that Marisa would definitely cause me trouble! Sure enough, the next time the mutation happens, it's right to get rid of her first."

"I'll talk about this later, let's help, Reimu."

"Hey, I got it."

After receiving the exact news of Marisa's accident from Patchouli, Takeya naturally had no time to argue with him anymore, so he dragged Reimu and got ready to set off immediately.

"Hey, aren't you in a bad mood and very annoyed? Why do you feel refreshed now?"

Even in the end, Kaguya didn't intend to let Takeya go, and insisted on disgusting him.

"That kind of thing will wait until I bring Marisa back!"

Although there is an element of anger involved in it, this is roughly how Takeru thinks about it now. The sudden incident of resentful spirits in the outside world does worry him, but now Marisa's matters take priority!

"Let's go! Reimu!"

"Takeya, you bastard, don't steal all your cool lines!"

Cursing, Reimu lifted up the flightless Takeya from behind, used his spiritual power to lift his body up into the sky instantly, and in less than a few seconds, the two of them disappeared from Kaguya's eyes.

"Be careful along the way~"

Holding a strange white handkerchief to say goodbye to the two, the smile on Kaguya's face was indescribably subtle.

"Huh-haha, it really feels so cool to fly at full speed."

Takeya, who was carried into the sky by Reimu, felt a kind of pure "coolness" for the first time.

The strong wind blowing against his face scattered Wu Ye's hair, but he surprisingly didn't feel disgusted by it. On the contrary, he felt that the comfort of this journey swept away all his previous depression.

It's just that Wu was happy, but Lingmeng suffered.

"It's so noisy, shut up Takeya, why are you so noisy today? Throw you down!"

Reimu, who was extremely depressed by Takeya's strange screams, couldn't help complaining that when she dragged Takeya flying before, he was either too scared to move or too scared to even open his eyes. Then he would be like this now. Be spirited.

In fact, not to mention that Reimu didn't know the various reasons, even Takeya probably couldn't notice it for a while. As far as he was concerned, it was just because he suddenly felt that the feeling of flying was a bit novel.

The real reason is that Wu Ye's monster power is subtly changing his body.

With enhanced adaptability, there is naturally no reason to be frightened.

However, Reimu's threat is still very real. Based on Takeya's understanding of her, if she is really unhappy, she will definitely throw Takeya down and beat him to a pulp.

Wu Ye, who had been excited for a while, also thought of this, so he silently restrained the blood that called mountains, rivers and seas in his heart.

"Reimu, how long until we arrive?"

The dry journey is very boring, so Wu Ye took the initiative to find some topics in order not to let himself suffer:

"Do you know where the wind cave that Paqiuli mentioned just now is?"

"The wind cave she said refers to the fantasy wind cave, a dirty cave, but it is the only passage on the ground that can lead to the old hell."

The journey is boring, and Lingmeng is also happy to give Wu Ye some knowledge to relieve boredom:

"Do you know the old hell?"

"I heard that it is the ruins of hell, right? The hell before the relocation."

"That's right."

Reimu nodded. In fact, she didn't know much about these things. Most of them were heard from her elders, but it was more than enough to explain Takeya's doubts:

"In the past, the other shore and hell were separate. The King of Hell judged the dead souls in the Hall of Rights and Wrong on the other shore, and only the guilty ones were sent to hell. However, something happened later, and the other shore and hell were merged. Together."

"Something happened? What happened?"

"The former hell, which is now the old hell, finally collapsed because of the impact of a large number of souls."

Reimu described the earth-shattering event that year in a calm tone:

"It was probably around a thousand years ago. No one can tell the specific time. There seemed to be a big war on the ground. A large number of dead souls were unwilling to accept the trial. Those who were not completely dead wanted to return again. So they flood into hell and make trouble in this world.”

"Huh? Is this still possible?"

Wu Ye asked in surprise. In his memory, the undead were floating around like clouds, existing without desires or pursuits.

"You think too easily about the undead, Wu Ye."

Reimu naturally saw Takeya's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but said helplessly:

"The souls of ordinary people, or souls that have been dead for a long time, may indeed become as harmless as you think, but some souls are different."

"Some souls? Could it be, monster's?"

"This answer is half correct. The correct term should be 'the soul of the strong'."

Reimu said seriously, it was hard to imagine that such a lazy, money-grubbing miko would show such an expression. It seemed that this story was even more unusual than Yuya expected.

"I also occasionally heard them say that the thousand-year war is not just between monsters and monsters, there are also many humans mixed in."

"Humanity?"

Wu Ye was stunned, no matter what, he would never have thought that he could still get along with them humans after saying this.

It's not surprising that he would think so. After all, except for special circumstances, the only human he has seen so far who can barely be called a strong person is Marisa.

Hakurei Miko and Penglai people, when these special people are not counted, he really doesn't know how the rest of ordinary humans should fight monsters.

"You underestimate humans too much, Takeya."

Reimu sighed and said:

"The human beings at that time were different from those now. I don't know how many of the legends you know are true and how many are false, but the human beings in history are not as miserable as you imagine."

Seeing Wu Ye's suspicious gaze, Lingmeng said in a deep voice:

"Taoist priests, onmyojis, and exorcists, as far as I know, all of these have really existed in history. Otherwise, why do you think Zi spent so much effort to build Gensokyo? Can a guy with a wooden stick force the monster to give in?"

"All right."

Wu also knew that his thinking was too simple. It seems that the legends are not all false, but because there is no way to obtain evidence, most people probably sneer at them.

"Then it's the ghosts and human souls that collapse hell?"

"That's right, because the dead are all powerful souls, before they are completely transformed into undead, their ability to make trouble is not worse than before."

Even thinking about it feels troublesome, Reimu said calmly:

"So hell was easily collapsed by them. Although those guys in hell suppressed it with all their strength, the dilapidated hell could no longer be repaired, so they abandoned the original hell and built a new one on the other side. hell."

"Then that rundown hell became the old hell that is now."

"right."

"Is there anything else in the old hell? Death?"

"How can it be."

Reimu rolled his eyes and Takeya said:

"Since the old hell has been abandoned, of course there will no longer be a god of death to guard it. I am not familiar with the old hell, but I guess there are probably some resentful spirits left there that were not judged and were transformed from the undead."

"That's it."

So the wraiths that appeared on the ground and the outside world came from the old hell? Listening to Reimu's words, Takeru was thoughtful.
