The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

"Anyway, sit down first."

The Xiandai Miko sat down by herself, and then motioned for Wu Ye to sit on the chair next to her.

After Takeya and Elliot sat down, the Daidai Miko said, "Speaking of which, Takeya, you have asked this question before, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"The power of Hakurei Miko."

Wu Ye no longer dared to think about it with just a few words, for fear of missing something.

"In Gensokyo, Hakurei Miko is invincible-this is what Zi said, and it is also a conclusion proved by the fact that countless youkai have been defeated."

The previous priestess shook the beer can in her hand, and her expression didn't seem much complacent: "The fact is the same. I can tell you clearly that in Gensokyo, the Hakurei priestess is 'invincible'."

"...I know that," Wu Ye paused, and said, "You can tell by Reimu's appearance, Hakurei Miko is so strong, it's almost like cheating."

"Cheating..." Chewing these two words in her mouth, the expression of the ancestor priestess seemed a little inexplicable.

"what happened?"

"No, this is because I suddenly felt that even though Wu Ye stayed a little longer, you are actually quite discerning."

"..."

Wu Ye's face is a bit dark, are you complimenting me or hurting me?

"Cheating, this is indeed a very suitable description."

The ancient priestess raised her head and took a sip of wine, her eyes were calm and scary: "As you said, the power of Hakuli priestesses comes from cheating."

"Ah?" Wu Ye was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand what the previous witches meant.

"If you think about it carefully, don't you understand? That kind of power is simply impossible to rely on cultivation, let alone, have you seen any Hakurei priestess who has practiced?"

"..."

This is true, at least Wu Ye has never seen Lingmeng practice before, she spends almost all her time on Saiqian's obsession with Saiqian and drinking tea and eating dumplings...

"Since this is the case, where does Hakurei Miko's power come from? Is that what you want to ask?" Looking at Takeya who was silent, the former Miko smiled and said, "Don't you already know the answer? ? Of course it's cheating."

Wu Ye looked at the former priestess, still did not speak, but put on a posture of listening. The former priestess was drinking alone, and I don't know whether it was because of the light beer or her good drinking capacity. There was no sign of a blush on the head.

"A long time ago, no, not too long ago, in the era when monsters had not yet faded out of the human world, there was such a person whose name was no longer known, and people only called her by the name of the shrine she represented .”

"Because she is a priestess belonging to the Hakurei Shrine, people call her the Hakurei Miko."

"The life of a witch is an extremely ordinary life. The shrine she lives in is so small that she is the only person in this shrine."

"The daily job of the witch is to undertake the commission of the pilgrims. Some ask for demon removal, and some ask for the extermination of monsters. In short, as long as the witch can do it, she will do it."

"Even if she walks out of the shrine, no one will know her. Even if she has been cured several times, no one will remember her. Her life is small, ordinary, boring, and nobody cares about her—it should be like this .”

"However, at the end of her life, the witch made a great achievement that several generations, even tens of hundreds of generations, could not achieve."

"At the cost of her own life, she used her soul as the cornerstone to build the world called Paradise—the original appearance of Gensokyo."

"The Hakurei barrier that separates Gensokyo as 'uncommon knowledge' from the real world—this is the great achievement of the original Hakurei Miko."

"In the short and ordinary life of the first generation of priestesses, this is the only thing that can be called insurmountable greatness - that's what I thought a long time ago."

The voice of the ancient priestess paused, she lowered her head, and her shadow slanted to the side, like the scattered dandelions, a sense of hesitation of not knowing where to go.

"Isn't it like this?" The long silence made Wu also at a loss, and he couldn't help but said: "The great enchantment created by that ancient priestess who sacrificed her life, our words... seem to be other than the word 'very powerful' , and there is nothing else to say?"

"Is it great? Ah, indeed, it's great."

The first-generation priestess nodded, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little unclear: "She is indeed very powerful, it is better to say that the first-generation adult is simply unreasonable, and it is because of her 'gift' that the reputation of the Hakurei priestess can continue to this day. .”

"...a gift?"

"Didn't I say that? The power of the Hakuli Miko is obtained by cheating, and the person who helped us cheat is the ancient Miko. This power is inherited from her."

"is it?"

It's not that Wu has never thought about this, it's just that he has never confirmed it because there is no way to prove it.

If the power of the previous shrine maidens can be explained by their extraordinary talents, then there is no reason for Reimu, who just inherited the power of Hakurei shrine maidens, to be so powerful.

But if there is a inheritance, then all doubts can be solved. There are many examples of power stored in objects and passed down. Isn't that how those so-called treasures come from?

If you think about it this way, is it Yin Yang Jade or Yubi?Could it be the maiden costume?

"Ha ha."

Probably aware of what Takeya was thinking, the laughter from the previous priestess was dark and very penetrating.

"You seem to be thinking too much, Takeya, I have made it very clear. The power of Hakurei Miko is 'inherited from the ancestors of Miko'."

"Well?"

"Don't you understand? Let me put it another way."

The former priestess looked down at Wu Ye's right hand, and suddenly said: "Wu Ye, you got the power of a big monster on your body from other monsters, right?"

"Uh, yes."

"How does it feel?"
