My Opinion in Gensokyo

Maple Village, more than a month later, late autumn.

The climate of early autumn is also gradually disappearing, replaced by the late autumn season with a bit of cold north wind, the world on the ground is even more barren and desolate, in the mountains and forests, the yellowed large forests are completely dry, losing the last trace of vitality, One piece after another fell on the desolate and barren land with the cold and biting north wind, and the large pieces of weeds on the ground were completely turned into khaki withered grass, and there was no more tenacity and resilience.

The activities of the beasts in the forest are also much less, and winter is coming soon, and the beasts in the forest are reducing their activities as much as possible to preserve their energy, so that they can have enough energy to survive the freezing winter.

The beasts in the mountains and forests have reduced their activities, and so have the people living in the village. Since late autumn, the villagers of Maple Village are also more cautiously preparing for the winter. Straw and straw are spread on the roof to thicken the roof, and every beam in the house is carefully inspected. If there is a crack in any of the beams, the pillar will be removed. A new, strong beam was substituted, and grain and dry firewood were also necessary.

In this Warring States Period, the coming severe winter was also a major reason for taking the lives of the people living on this land. The suddenly cold climate would freeze to death the people who lacked food and clothing, and the heavy snow was more likely to kill the villagers. Their houses collapsed, and the snow in winter may block the roads connecting villages, and isolate the villages from the outside world in winter.

The people in Fengzhi Village are also very aware of the dangers brought about by the severe winter. In this era, it is not easy for people living in small villages like Fengzhi Village to spend the winter safely. However, despite the protection of the Miko, the villagers of Maple Village are still cautious about the coming winter, just like they did in the past.

Maple Village, Shrine.

The priestess with a cold expression was still wearing the priestess costume of the white dress and the red skirt, and the long black hair like a waterfall was tied with platycodon flowers tied with white sandalwood paper. She held a broom and carefully cleaned the cobwebs and dust on the corner of the shrine.

The end-of-autumn festival will be held soon, so the shrine will naturally have to be thoroughly cleaned, and it is also just when cleaning the shrine to check whether the structure of the shrine is still stable.

Kikyo was using a broom to sweep away the cobwebs and dust in the corners of the beams. Naturally, Shangyang would inevitably be caught again, and he was also wiping the altars and altars in the shrine with a dishcloth indifferently.

More than a month ago, after Shangyang casually dealt with the Raksha ghost Kansuke who wanted to rob Fengzhi Village, it seemed that the robbers who wanted to rob Fengzhi Village disappeared too much for no reason. Recently, there have been no bandits and robbers coming to the maple village, and the monsters living in the nearby forests rarely try to enter the maple village.

In the past month or so, apart from going out with Kikyo to help expel some little monsters and cure some diseases in the surrounding villages, Shangyang is still helping the people in Maple Village. Of course, Some tiring business sheep also tried to instigate a dog demon who also lived in the village to do it.

Anyway, the people in this village are also accustomed to the existence of a certain dog demon in a big red fire rat fur that haunts the village. The reason for the Shang Yang is that it has always been in the shrine, and the appearance of the Shang Yang is not any different from that of a human being. , plus Kikyo doesn’t know why, and he didn’t specifically explain to the villagers why the Shang sheep are also inhuman and heterogeneous. Most of the villagers always think that the Shang sheep were rescued by the witch last winter. Follow the servants of Miko-sama.

As for a dog monster, at the beginning, for Inuyasha who appeared in the village, the people in the village were indeed a little afraid that he would harm the people in the village, but Kikyo also explained to the people in the village that Inuyasha is not an evil monster , not hurting anyone, the people in the village gradually let go of their worries, and after that, unknowingly, they established a good relationship with the children in the village, and because Shangyang's many aggressive generals and After instigating and helping the people in the village to help a lot, the people in the village also accepted Inuyasha. When the people in the village were busy, the adults even took the initiative to let the children go to Inuyasha to play.

Just like now, the younger sister Xiaofeng who was supposed to clean the shrine with Sister Kikyo was let go by Kikyo because of the help of Shangyang, and went with a group of children in the village and the straw that basically sleeps in the village now. Inuyasha in the pile went to play together.

"Huh...it's almost there." After cleaning the last corner of the altar, Shangyang put the tablecloth away, moved his arm a little, turned his face and asked casually, "This should be no problem. gone?"

"Thank you." Hearing this, Kikyo also put down the broom in his hand, and thanked Shangyang softly, "Thank you for your help."

"It's okay, after all, this is where I live too," Shangyang replied casually, looking at the interior of the shrine that he and Kikyo had cleaned up, "It would be nice if I could clean it up for you."

Having said that, Shang Yang paused for a while, looked at the maiden with a calm expression as usual, thought for a while, and spoke casually.

"Well, Kikyo, if it's not my business, I'll go to the village first."

"In the village?" Hearing Shang Yang's words, Kikyo showed a slightly puzzled expression, but was soon relieved, "To find Inuyasha?"

"Ah, I have nothing to talk to him about." Shang Yang shrugged and explained with his eyes half-opened, "I feel that he has been degrading a bit during this period, and I can't just watch him change from a dog monster to a dog monster like this." .”

Hearing Shang Yang's explanation, the placid Kikyo also showed a sudden expression. She knew what Shang Yang was talking about. Hun Zhiyu's attention, he who used to be elusive, now sleeps in the straw pile in the village almost every day, as if he is about to hibernate.

I still have to go and see if it is a genetic mutation of a dog monster that suddenly changed from a canine animal that does not need to hibernate into another animal that needs to hibernate...

Seeing Kikyo's understanding expression, Shang Yang nodded slightly, turned around and walked outside the shrine, waving his hands casually.

"Then I'll go around the village first~"

Hearing these words, Kikyo, who had regained his normal expression, nodded slightly.

However, when she watched Shang Yang walk out of the shrine, down the stone steps, and completely disappeared from her sight, the witch was slightly relieved, and her originally calm and indifferent expression also appeared a little weak.

Holding on to the wooden pillar in the shrine, Kikyo frowned slightly. Of course she understood her own physical condition, just not showing any flaws in front of others, it would take a lot of effort. Although the weakening of spiritual power is not very serious, But just relying on the current physical condition, I can't do more things...

According to this situation, after winter, my own strength may not be enough to purify the jade of the four souls...

ps: Today’s update time is a bit later than yesterday. In other words, I’ve been thinking about maintaining a stable update time in the future, and it’s almost the same around noon~

As I said before, I still recommend that you put the latest chapters aside and watch them together, it will be more enjoyable.Of course, this is just my personal suggestion, please decide for yourself.

As always, please give a recommendation ticket to support~
