Lost Narrative Poetry

There seemed to be no one in Moriya Shrine. Whether it was the two gods or Sanae Dongfengya, no one knew where they had gone.

Xia Ran pressed the switch of the telepathy ability, switching from passive mode to active mode, and the range instantly expanded.

This psychic ability combined with the former "Aura Whisper" dragon roar allows him to detect all energy reactions, psychic fluctuations, and biomagnetic fields in the range... and so on.

In passive mode, the consumption of mental power is almost negligible, but the range and precision will be much smaller, which is probably to capture fluctuations within a hundred meters, although it is enough in normal times.

In the active mode, it is like the dragon's roar ability that continuously uses spiritual whispers. It is more useful than mental scanning. Not only the range is instantly expanded and increased, but also the level of precision is greatly improved. Almost no disturbance can be hidden. Xia Ran's perception...

Of course, the mental energy consumed will also be doubled accordingly, although it is still nothing to him currently.

"Why aren't you here? Where have you gone? Even Sanae isn't at home..." She sighed to herself. Xia Ran reached out and tapped her forehead, suddenly feeling even more distressed.

No matter how strong his memory was, it would be useless for things like drinking and fragmentation, because he didn't know what happened at the time, so how could he expect to know everything about it afterwards? But just because she couldn't think of anything, Xia Ran felt terrified.

——What exactly did you do?

——What's going on? !

I wanted to ask Saber about it, but I remembered that when I sent Yukinoshita and others back the night before for insurance, I asked Saber to go with them, and now they are still with Yukinoshita.

He subconsciously wanted to take advantage of this moment to escape, but after thinking about it, he decisively gave up the worst option. If he really did something he shouldn't have done, then such behavior would probably add fuel to the fire. The oily kind.

Moreover, although Xia Ran was a little on tenterhooks, she still had a certain degree of confidence in her heart. After all, at his spiritual level, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the spiritual platform is as transparent as a mirror. It is just a simple application to avoid seeing or hearing, and to avoid danger. You don't need combat intuition to do it.

Because of this, Xia Ran didn't notice any special premonition at all, so he firmly believed that he was definitely not in any trouble.

So he absolutely couldn't just run away, otherwise what was no problem would turn into a problem... He simply calmed down and slowly flipped through the pile of land deed documents in front of him.

Whether it's a temple or a shrine, it seems that the people who can do this in Japan are all wealthy people. Even in big cities where land is at a premium, they can occupy a large piece of private land... This is not the most exaggerated thing.

It is said that even the ownership of Mount Fuji belongs to the Sengen Shrine there. That is truly terrifying.

Moriya Shrine has not reached that point, but it is not bad in itself. After all, both gods once ruled ancient kingdoms. After thousands of years of accumulation, even if they have never deliberately spent any thought on this aspect, they can still accumulate it. A huge fortune.

Even from Xia Ran's point of view, it is a very huge amount of wealth. After all, the accumulation of Moriya Shrine does not mean that there is only this Moriya Shrine, but there are many other zero-to-zero total assets.

But why are these things placed in front of me?

Looking at the various asset certificates, property rights documents, land deeds and other things piled up like a hill in front of him, and looking at several open boxes next to him, Xia Ran knew that this was definitely not a misunderstanding.

It was clearly an act of specifically moving out all the family assets and putting them in front of him.

And there are only three people in this shrine who can do such a thing. Considering that Sanae has always been very gentle, I guess he is a good boy who would not do such inexplicable things rashly.

So the question becomes, what are the two gods doing? Although these assets are meaningless at all, what troubles them is the issue of faith, not material wealth...

Well, could it be that because you really plan to move into Gensokyo, these things need to be given up, so why not give them all to yourself? Xia Ran thought about it carefully and found that this was the most likely possibility.

But before he could think too much, he heard the noise coming from outside.

——Boom!

There seemed to be the sound of water coming from the pool in front of the shrine, as if someone was using a long-handled wooden spoon to clean their hands.

Xia Ran suddenly frowned slightly, because in his perception, there was nothing at all in the Shuishui House, and the water surface of the pool was calm, as if the sounds he heard were all hallucinations.

It was silent for a while.

--Ding.

But in front of the shrine's worship hall that tilted up on both sides of the roof, there was a clear and clear sound of coins hitting the bottom of the donation box with wooden lattice, as if someone had thrown change into it.

Although in Xia Ran's perception, there was still nothing there, he had vaguely understood something. Someone was worshiping at this shrine on the other side of the world.

Sure enough, after the sound of clapping, the thick hemp rope hanging in the worship hall was shaken twice, causing the wind chimes on the hemp rope to ring. It seemed that a series of worship procedures were completed.

At that moment, Dongfeng Gu Sanae's aura appeared in the worship hall, and it felt like it suddenly appeared without any warning.

She just let go of the hemp rope, breathed out gently, then looked around, and called in a low voice as if she was unsure -

"Classmate Xia Ran?"

"..."

"..."

"……I'm here."

The magician sighed as he thought about it, and responded immediately.

The blue-and-white miko lady immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran into the main hall. After seeing the magician's figure, she clenched her little fists with joy: "It's really successful. Sure enough, you can return to this place like this." It’s over.”

"Did you just come from Gensokyo?" Xia Ran asked calmly.

He probably knew what was going on. Moriya Shrine might have moved into Gensokyo, but at the same time it was still in the outside world. It's like the existence of Hakurei Shrine, but what the outside world sees is different from what it sees in Gensokyo.

The side he is currently on is the outside of the realm of the shrine, while the Moriya Shrine located in Gensokyo is the inner realm.

——In other words, it is indeed Zi’s handiwork, right?

"Yes, the current shrine is divided into front and back. The front is the shrine from the outside world, and the back is the shrine that moved into the Monster Mountain..." Sanae Dongfengya nodded excitedly, completely losing his previous disappointment and emotion. .

After all, the current situation is obvious, and Xia Ran can't even see this problem.

He could only smile: "Congratulations, Sanae-san... But can I ask, what are these?"

"This is what I agreed to give to you before. It is an asset in the name of the shrine." Dongfeng Gu Sanae glanced at the various land deed documents piled up in front of him, and then said this indifferently. It seems that this kind of thing Can you all see that?

"Well... let me put it another way, why are these things given to me?"

The promised reward? When did you agree? Xia Ran sighed, feeling as if he had been plotted against.

Dongfengya Sanae looked at him strangely, and then burst into laughter: "It seems that Xia Ran, you really don't remember. It was at yesterday's banquet that Suwako-sama told you personally. , Kanako also agreed..."

"Why exactly? I really had no memory at all..." The magician sighed again. Is this simply taking advantage of others' danger? !

"Because the monster sage said that if you were responsible for guarding Moriya Shrine in the outside world, then she could make the inner and outer realms of Moriya Shrine correspond to the outside world and Gensokyo respectively, so Kanako and the others..."

Dongfeng Gu Sanae laughed dryly and said very quietly.

"..."

"..."

So there is really no way to survive. Even if they are playing tricks, can they use a more serious style instead of such a childish plan... Xia Ran reached out to cover her face, and suddenly felt that life was so special. Such emptiness.

The two gods are indeed considering moving the shrine into Gensokyo to solve the imminent problem of faith, but they probably don't want to ruin their precious daughter's final daily life. If there is a solution that has both ends, they won't Will hesitate.

Moreover, the price they need to pay is not worth mentioning at all. After all, if they don’t give away all the property from the outside world, they can only throw it away directly. Anyway, they can’t bring it into Gensokyo...

And that’s not all—

Because according to the information Xia Ran learned from Yakumo Murasaki's memory, Moriya Shrine moved into Gensokyo and played an important role in checking and balancing the Youkai Mountain. The two gods probably also hope to win over in this matter. He had such a helper to gain an advantage, so he agreed.

After all, if Xia Ran inexplicably takes over an outside shrine, and the shrine itself is partially located in Gensokyo, how different is it from him also settling in Gensokyo?

At least in the eyes of the people in Gensokyo, he is a member of Moriya Shrine, just like everyone knows that the magician and Remilia are not affiliated at all, but they still tacitly agree that the Sage of the Seven Lights already belongs to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Camp forces.

Besides, Xia Ran himself couldn't really stand by and watch, if the two gods really needed help.

So for Moriya Shrine, it was a powerful helper, but for Yakumo Murasaki, she indirectly achieved her goal and tied Xia Ran to the chariot in Gensokyo... No wonder The two sides hit it off and worked together.

In such a short time, Xia Ran had sorted out the situation and the information he had, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Classmate Xia Ran, you don't seem happy?"

Sanae Dongfengya asked cautiously. The innocent and simple girl didn't think too much. She could only see the first floor, thinking that her two gods loved her and wanted to use this method to enter and leave Gensokyo.

But even if she only saw the first layer, she still noticed that Xia Ran was dumbfounded, so she hesitated for a moment, but then made up her mind. After all, she was a kind and gentle girl, and she was not willing to let her Willful and forcing others.

"Actually, if you don't like it, I can..."

"No, that's it. I'm not unhappy." Xia Ran shook his head directly. In fact, the problem wasn't too big, and there was no need for him to be obedient when he got an advantage.

"But, you didn't seem happy just now..." Dongfeng Gu Sanae was uneasy.

"That's because I was scared just now..." Xia Ran said seriously.

"What scared you?"

"I thought I married Moriya Shrine out of nowhere." Looking at the pile of various land deed documents in front of him, the magician was silent for a moment and replied.
