Gensokyo is a wonderful place.

Ling also enters it sometimes. Although she created that world, there are still many interesting and strange things happening every day.

God created the world, but he is not omniscient and omnipotent. Otherwise, God, who knows everything, would become the most pitiful person in the world. There are no surprises and no expectations.

To be precise, the secret realm called "Takamagahara" already existed, and Ling kneaded it into a new world just like kneading clay. She was not the creator, she was just a porter of nature.

Then we set up the earth's crystal wall layer as an anchor point to prevent the secret realm from further disintegrating.

Essentially, it is the same thing as the private secret realm where Reiya's Laurel Tree is located, except that this place is larger and more open, with an area no less than the entire Tokyo metropolitan area, approximately nearly 10,000 square kilometers.

If we look at the ancient history of island countries, many countries were not that big. It is no wonder that during the Warring States Period, many disputes between countries were jokingly called fighting between neighboring villages.

This kind of Gensokyo was a proper ‘big country’ in ancient times, bigger than Izumo Country.

So even though many monsters have come in groups these days, the land of Gensokyo still looks empty. Monsters are not used to living next to each other, and they all have their own territories.

The vegetation is lush and the scenery is beautiful. Walking on the land of Gensokyo, you can see many wonderful sights.

There are 'ghosts' with horns on their heads, 'ghosts' who are obsessed and unable to die, and more importantly, there are all kinds of monsters with strange shapes. In this land, it seems that everything can become a monster, not just

Various plants, animals, pots and pans, and even simple natural phenomena such as rain, thunder, and valley echoes will give birth to their own consciousness.

Ling walked among them without changing her appearance. She was a little human girl. She looked normal, but no monster dared to look down upon her.

Everyone knows that there are no human beings in Gensokyo except for the miko who guards the gate, but any image of a woman or a child is not easy to mess with, and if the two overlap and encounter a 'little girl', it is simply the highest level of danger.

.

Yakumo Murasaki is like this, the new miko Reimu is like this, and the big fairy in the flower field is also like this on a sunny day.

Monsters, humans, elves, maybe a god will pop up next time? In Gensokyo, things like 'little girls' really scare monsters to death.

Therefore, along the way Lingya met, the monsters he met were all polite, even to the point of being overly respectful.

She has nothing to do but listen to stories.

The stories of monsters are different from the stories in human history. Although they sometimes describe the same thing, they have very different truths. Neither of them is false, but they both happened in the past.

This kind of contradiction is very attractive.

At this time, the person talking to Lingya was a coquettish monster who could not distinguish between men and women. For monsters, gender is not necessary or a fixed label.

His name is Momiji Kari, and he was born in the "Sixth Heaven Demonic Powers". Legend has it that he was originally a concubine of Gensuke Kei. Later, he rebelled against the nobles and was wiped out. After joining the Six Paths and being reincarnated, he acquired a male body and took the pseudonym Oda Nobunaga.<

/p>

As we all know, Minamoto Suiki is Minamoto Yorimitsu's grandfather, so, from a certain perspective, Oda Nobunaga is Minamoto Yorimitsu's grandmother?

There may have been twists and turns of experience, there may have been soul-stirring love, intrigues, and epic cruel wars, but now, for Momiji, identity, name, and gender are no longer important. All that matters is the maple leaf in Gensokyo.

Lin, I only have the wine in my hand.

"That guy Niutou was deceived. This wine is not a good one." Hongye Shou smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, "Or am I being deceived by him? He drank the good wine himself and used this dirty wine to fool me?

”

"How about you go out to buy wine by yourself next time?" Ling also suggested, "Refuse to let the middlemen make the difference. Anyway, Reimu's fee is only 5,000 yuan per trip."

Most monsters are not short of money. Even if they don't steal, they still have many means that humans don't have.

The five thousand yuan that the Minotaur Monster paid casually before has now become the fixed charging standard of Hakurei Shrine.

Reimu put the offering box at the entrance of the shrine hall, holding the money box every day while waiting to receive money. She didn't like banknotes, and preferred the sound of a thousand 5-yuan copper plates clanging and falling.

Hongye Shou waved his hand, "I won't go, I won't go. I don't want to bear the stale smell outside anymore. It's still clean here. Even the maple forest is cleaner than outside."

He lay lazily under the maple tree. He was free and easy as a man, but also enchanting as a woman.

Maple Grove was originally a monster in Maple Grove. The phrase "Frost leaves are as red as flowers in February" was loved by the people of the island thousands of years ago, so Maple Grove became a belief, and the monster was born out of the wish of all living beings.

One night a thousand years ago, a monster wandering in the maple forest got acquainted with Yuan Jingji, who "stopped and loved the maple forest at night", and they enjoyed the red maples together.

Momiji Kari fell in love with Gensukeki at first sight, so the originally genderless monster transformed into a woman and married him as his concubine. "Sitting in love" became another word with the same pronunciation, and the story began.

"My story is over, why don't you leave?" After finishing the remaining wine, Hong Yeqiu raised the empty cup and made a gesture of serving tea as a farewell.

"Is that all? I want to hear something else." Ling also sat on another stone without any thought of getting up.

"What else can there be? Just... there are many, what do you want to hear?"

What made Hong Yekari change his mind was the wine bottle that Lingya took out. The crystal clear wine bottle, with the viscous liquid inside hanging on the wall, looked like it had been stored for a long time.

Although I don’t know where she got it from, monsters always have some special abilities.

"I have wine, as long as you have a story. Just tell me anything interesting."

Hongyekari licked his lips and took the bottle without any resistance.

He unscrewed the cap of the wine bottle, and the strong aroma of the wine spread through the maple forest and lasted for a long time. This was undoubtedly a good wine, and Hongye Karihei had only seen it.

Ling also frowned slightly. She didn't like the smell, it was a bit pungent. But for drinkers, it was the most attractive scent.

"Where did you buy this wine? Next time the calf head goes out, I must let him buy this."

"I don't know, it's from my cellar."

There is no label on the wine bottle. It should be a private wine brewed by a certain winery and given to her father. Ling doesn't know the quality of the wine, but she thinks that ordinary wine would not be stored there. It is in the same wine cellar.

The stores are filled with luxury wines that cost tens of thousands of dollars, not in Japanese yen, but in U.S. dollars.

No matter how expensive the price is, it is not as useful as a bottle of medical alcohol here in Lingye. At least alcohol can also disinfect.

It's a good deal to exchange stories for wine. Hong Yeqiu poured himself a glass, took a sip, and then let out a big breath.

"Story, let me think about it. Do you know the Wu Clan?"

"Witch? Is it a wizard?"

The first thing Lingya thought of was Harry Potter. After all, in the past world, this was so famous.

"No, witches are not human beings. They are even older than monsters. They are legends spread in the Tang Dynasty."

"You should know about the Tang Dynasty, right? It is the country across the sea. It is no longer called by this name, but we are still used to calling it the Tang Dynasty."

Of course Ling also knows about the Tang Dynasty, a country that no one has ever seen but will always be in their memory.

"When all nations came to court, that was the place that everyone in the world longed for. It was prosperous and powerful. The legend of the Wu Clan came from there."

Legend has it that witches are the descendants of the God of Creation, Gonggong, Zhurong, Dijiang, Jumang, and Zhujiuyin. Each of them has the ability to climb mountains, catch the moon, and catch the stars and the sun.

"Is this the story of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?"

"Do you know "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"?" Hongye Shou was a little surprised. He thought the girl was a local monster. Could it be that she was also from the Tang Dynasty?

Those names were indeed the creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. But one day, they all disappeared and died.

"Why?"

"No one knows why, the Wu tribe suddenly died and became extinct. Just like the dinosaurs became extinct."

"Do you still know about dinosaurs?" Ling was also a little surprised.

"Hey, as you say, I'm not illiterate. When I was in the human world, I still went to college."

He has been reincarnated several times, and he has lived as a monster and as a human several times. Even now, he still has the identity of a human in the human world. However, he is no longer careless and alone.

It seems like this in every life, like a curse. Some people say that he is the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, but Hongye Shou himself doesn’t know.

Now he is just tired.

"You said you would join reincarnation. Didn't you go to the sea of ​​souls during reincarnation?"

"What is the soul? The sea?"

Ling also stared at this fish that slipped through the net for a long time. Didn't she come to her place to report drinking Meng Po soup?

Forget it, I thought he could tell stories, and if he missed it, he would miss the Internet cafe.

Hongye Shou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He was relieved when the girl looked away.

At this time, he heard the girl utter a sentence clearly:

"When the day comes when you no longer want to remember the past, tell me."

What does this mean? Is it really the one he understands? Hongye Shou is unable to determine the identity of the other party.

"Who are you?"

"Izanami."

"Ahem!" Hongye Shou choked on his nose with a sip of wine.

"I lied to you."

She is not Izanami, Izanami is just a vest of hers.

"This kind of joke is not funny at all." Hongye Shou said, "You will be punished if you pretend to be a god."

But he knew that his hunch was correct. This was indeed a big boss he couldn't afford to offend. Otherwise, ordinary monsters pretending to be gods would have suffered retribution long ago in Gensokyo, a place where gods are everywhere. How could it be so easy?
