Me, online dating and sharing boyfriend

"So why are you clinging to me for no reason?"

Even after a hundred years, Lin's guilt had not subsided. He reached out and pinched her cold little head, put the clothes on the table into the box, and prepared to ask Tengu to deliver these gifts to the demon world.

The next day, Rin first said hello to his wife Kaguya, sent a text message as a message to Yukari who had been sleeping for a month, and then left Gensokyo and flew to the island in the East China Sea that he used as his old place.

The island was shrouded in layers of fog again, just like the scene of the first encounter with Taigong Wang. According to my memory, I found the inland lake. An old man wearing a straw raincoat and a gray goatee was fishing by the lake.

"My friend, you really did keep your promise. I am very relieved to see you again after a hundred years."

"Greetings, Senior Taigong Wang."

Tai Gong Wang held the fishing rod in one hand and smoothed his beard: "My friend, it seems that you have made great progress. I can feel that the aura on your body is purer."

Lin brought out a small stool and sat next to him, telling him in detail how he had discovered the peculiar nature of "qi" and how he had tested it, and how he had now become completely proficient in it. Taigong Wang listened very attentively.

After Lin finished speaking, he remained silent for a while, until the fish that he had caught with the straight hook ran away again. Then he sighed and said, "It's a bit unexpected. This is probably the mysterious part. Now that it has come to this, have you ever understood the way of heaven?"

The Heavenly Dao he mentioned, to use a more fashionable term, is actually the rules of the world. Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I did have some insights in the Demon Realm before, but unfortunately I have no clue after that. The experience only made me understand my own strength."

"It's almost there... it's almost there. I still say that it's fate that we can meet. We will meet many times in the future. Although I myself have not yet reached the level of entering the Heavenly Dao, I can already get a glimpse of it. I called you here to help you."

"..."

After being stunned for a few seconds, Lin's face was full of surprise: "Old senior, what you mean is that you are willing to help me understand it?"

Tai Gong Wang smiled and stroked his beard: "Didn't I tell you that I have only glimpsed a little bit. It is a little difficult to fully comprehend it, but it is still possible for you to touch it a little. As long as there is a guide, I believe you will soon be able to understand its essence. The God of the Demon Realm is right. Just talking will not let you enter it. My method still has some hope of success."

"Thank you so much, without further ado! I hope you can help me, sir!"

"It is a long process. I hope you can stick to your faith and not confuse your mind."

……

Just like Tai Gong Wang said, this is a long process. Sometimes Lin felt that he was a piece of stone, exposed to the wind and sun, experiencing the passage of time and vicissitudes of life. It seemed that tens of thousands of years had passed. He could hear nothing and see nothing, and could only sense that his small body was constantly changing its residence and shape.

Sometimes, it's like turning into a leaf, sprouting, growing leaves, and finally falling into the mud, experiencing a short life.

Or it could be a butterfly, a fish, a wild beast living in the mountains, a giant shark in the sea, everything, it senses almost everything that can be sensed by all things, and senses the direction of the entire world.

It was as if it was an extremely long time from the formation of a planet to its destruction. Lin couldn't even remember why it turned out like this, who he was, or what he was going to do, until he saw the colorful lines weaving into living beings at a very fast speed, weaving out the voices, appearances and smiles of his relatives, lovers, and friends. The impressions accumulated in his mind bit by bit, and finally exploded. With the sound of his heart beating violently, he suddenly woke up, took a deep breath, and felt like he had a strange dream, very long and as if only a short moment had passed and nothing had happened.

"world……"

Lin suddenly realized that the world...isn't it just like a series of gears that influence each other to support the operation of the entire machine?

Gears can be living things or nature. Once each gear changes, it will produce completely different changes and give rise to other gears. Countless and completely incalculable gears constitute the big machine of the world, and it is constantly expanding and changing because of the changes.

But no matter how large the group of gears is, there is only one that can lead the direction of the world and change the speed and branch direction, and that is the origin of the world. This is why what Lin gets after conquering a world is gears. This is also a simulation description of the system.

Of course, this is just a simple metaphor. Even if you understand the world, you cannot fully describe it in words.

In short, to continue with the metaphor, the reason why Rin was able to conquer those simple worlds was because the most important gears connected to the origin gears were directly "disassembled" by him, or in other words, the direction of the overall world was destroyed, so that he could obtain the origin from them.

This is only limited to the world with simple rules. In a slightly more complex world with specific and complete rules that has evolved for a long time, it is extremely difficult to obtain the origin.

However... the world he was trapped in before he crossed over, which was similar to the interface between the game and reality, was actually very simple. There were not many gears and branches at all, and it was easy to destroy. Rin was somewhat sure about this.

Coming back from his thoughts, Lin looked around and was shocked to find that he had been sitting on the river bank, wearing a straw raincoat, while Taigong Wang had fallen asleep beside him.

He shook his head, took out his cell phone to check the time, and was suddenly shocked.

"It's already... 1880!? Damn, I'm going to be considered a missing person this time."

His exclamation woke Tai Gong Wang up, and he looked at him with a happy expression: "Not bad, not bad, my friend really succeeded."

Lin was touched by this mentor-like role and the kindness of protecting him for two hundred years, and his eyes almost turned red: "Senior, I don't need words to thank you for your kindness. I..."

"Needless to say, I have made this good connection, and maybe I won't have to face disasters in the future. But you... have been able to maintain your youthful nature after going through so many vicissitudes of life, which is the most precious thing."

Lin scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and saw him continue to look at her, nodding with satisfaction: "In our Taoist words, your current state has just entered the state of returning to nature. Compared to the first time I met you, that weird and cold temperament has disappeared, and you look no different from an ordinary person."

"That's good too."

"Well, after more than two hundred years, I am also tired. It is time to have a good rest. I don't know when we will meet again. I hope everything goes well, my friend."

He waved his sleeves and left with a smile. Lin sat on the river bank in a daze, and suddenly felt that perhaps the luckiest thing in his life was to meet a suitable and competent teacher and a guide.

Chapter 94: Back then, Hakurei Miko didn’t have to show her armpits

The time has come to 1880. From Rin's arrangement of the fragments of memories of past reincarnations, it can be discovered that it has only been a few years since the establishment of the Second Gensokyo, including the War with the Dragon God.

The problem is, right now he and the Dragon God are master and servant, and apart from the indecent photo incident, their relationship is pretty good. They should be more than willing to fight each other, and then this world would be much safer.

Another point is that the reason why Rin is not worried at all about the collapsing game world after such a long time is mainly because he knows that he will be fine in the future, and obviously he can get through this time safely.

Taigong Wang has left, and there is nothing worth lingering here. At this time, the outside world has entered the Meiji Restoration era of scientific civilization. The science of the whole world is developing rapidly, and there is almost no place for monsters to live. The only places that are not affected are Yuedu, the underworld, hell, and heaven. Because of the constant wars, hell must be quite prosperous.

Time was running out, and Rin had no time to experiment with what she had learned or to try to find a way into this world, so she quickly flew towards Gensokyo.

As time goes by, what we see along the way is the earth-shaking progress and changes in human civilization... To be honest, it is still far inferior to the technological progress in Gensokyo Moon City and the Demon World. After all, one is mysterious black technology, and the other is gradual and serious science.

The first place Rin returned to was the abandoned shrine where she could enter the fantasy, and she was shocked to find that the shrine had been renovated and looked as if someone was living there.

Sensing the presence of a special barrier, Rin stopped at the foot of the Tottori Stairs. The barrier with faint ripples in front of her was only there to prevent the malicious intrusion of demons and monsters, and it did not have any malicious intent. Rin passed through the barrier and walked along the stone steps towards the shrine.

However, before he reached Tottori, he saw a girl in red and white clothes standing on the steps, staring at him closely.

The clothes the other person was wearing looked very similar to the shrine maiden costume of a certain Reimu. The difference was that compared to that weird armpit-exposing outfit, this one was a lot more dignified.

She looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, in her prime, with long lavender hair, a tuft of hair on the side tied together with a hair accessory. Just by looking at her appearance, she actually looked somewhat like Reimu Hakurei.

"...The first Hakurei Miko?"

Lin searched his memory and figured out the other person's identity. He was no longer so alert and instead looked at the girl curiously.

Upon discovering that Rin was just an "ordinary" human, the other party let down his guard, bowed slightly to Rin, and smiled like a spring breeze. His clean and clear smile felt like sunshine.

"Welcome, this is the Hakurei Shrine. Are you here to pray or to exorcise demons?"

Rin walked up to him and could see her bright eyes that matched her hair color. The girl in front of him was so gentle, which was completely different from Reimu, which aroused his curiosity.

Rin looked around, finally looking at the stone surrounding the talisman, which was planted with trees.

"You said this is the Hakurei Shrine?" Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a deep meaning, "I remember that this place was an abandoned place before. There should be no shrine or anything like that, right?"

The girl was slightly stunned, but her smile didn't fade: "Since it's already abandoned, what's the problem with me repairing the shrine here?"

"Well...what's your name?"

"It's rude to ask a girl's name right after you meet her, even if she's handsome, right?"

If Rin had not reached a certain realm at this moment, she would not be able to see through his abilities at all and would completely regard him as an ordinary human being. A human being without abilities is the main reason why Hakurei Miko has time to chat.

As he was talking, Rin had already arrived in front of the stone at the entrance to Gensokyo. Just as he stretched out his hand to feel whether the divine power connecting Gensokyo to the outside world still existed, he heard the girl exclaim.

"Wait! Um...don't move! Be careful of the hidden spirit!"

Lin's arm was pulled down by her, and he turned his head to look at the witch and asked curiously: "Kamikakushi?"

The girl nodded seriously: "There are strange energy fluctuations in here... Oh, so you may not understand it very well. Just think that once you are sucked in, there will be many monsters and demons that will eat you up!"

"Then, as a miko, why don't you solve this hidden danger?"

She had been looking at a gentle and kind smile, but she suddenly became silly, her face flushed, she reached out and pinched a bunch of her hair that was tied up, and turned her head away: "Well... I don't know how dangerous it is in there, and... Actually... I just became a witch, I may not be able to win... I still plan to gain experience for a few years, um, slay demons and monsters!"

"He's a trainee."

The airflow from Lin's body poured out, and the gentle force slowly pushed the girl a few meters away from his body. While the witch was stunned, he stretched out his hand and touched the stone. After guiding the air in, the talismans tied around the stone that had not responded for many years moved automatically without wind, and blue light burst out.

"Well, I'll see you soon, Hakurei Miko. I hope to know your name by then."

After leaving these words, Rin was immediately surrounded by blue light and disappeared in front of the girl.

The silly girl was left scratching her face, feeling as if she had met an important person, and slowly approached the stone that had returned to calm.

Returning to Gensokyo, Rin had no time to get excited before he discovered that the power of the virtual and real realm surrounding her was showing signs of weakening again. He was startled and his body disappeared into the air.

After a few quick steps, he arrived at the Human World, and discovered that both the development zone and the residential and agricultural areas were extremely prosperous. At the same time, he could see the security corps, which had expanded several times in number, patrolling back and forth. Leading the group was his old friend Meihong, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Without even having time to say hello, Rin flew towards the Yakumo family again. When he arrived at the location of the Yakumo family in his memory, he found that the original courtyard had changed a lot. Not only did it look dilapidated, but it had also become a gathering place for wild cats.

"Home for the Lost?"

The building looked very much like the draft he had drawn. Rin nodded, sensing that there was actually a barrier inside the Lost House, so he leaned over and rushed towards the barrier. After penetrating it, his vision darkened, and the familiar courtyard proved that he had arrived at the real Yakumo Residence.

It felt like someone had broken through the barrier, and the first person to appear was Yakumo Aoi. After being a shikigami for many years, she finally gained the basic ability to use the gaps, and could freely deploy gaps in Gensokyo to complete her patrol work.

When she found out that the person coming was Rin, Yakumo Lan's face lit up with joy and she exclaimed, "Rin-sama! You are still alive... No, no! You can actually come back here."

"..."

Although he could understand her excited and incoherent mood, Lin still felt a little uncomfortable. He tried his best to ignore Lan's curse and asked curiously, "Where is Sister Zi?"

"Master Zi..."

Lan sighed, "Because the barrier is unstable, Lord Zi is working hard to maintain the barrier. He has not rested for a hundred years and is in the center of the barrier."

Lin was slightly startled, and quickly asked: "I discovered this problem when I came back, so why did the barrier suddenly become unstable?"

Obviously, as the administrator who took charge of Gensokyo during the purple hibernation period, Yakumo Aoi knew the inside story. She welcomed Rin into the house, served her a cup of tea, and then slowly told her the story.

Originally, there was no problem with the barrier between the virtual and the real at the beginning, but about a hundred years ago, the world changed drastically and science and civilization were in a period of conflict. Because of the barrier between the virtual and the real, it was easy for monsters to enter and exit, and even it was not difficult for Onmyoji from the outside world to come in. There were also humans from the outside world who often strayed in, causing Gensokyo to be eroded by the common sense of human civilization. The power of the gods began to weaken, and the barrier became very unstable. Yakumo Yukari stepped forward as the administrator and began to repair the barrier of Gensokyo with Yorihime. So far, it has survived a hundred years.

"I see……"

Rin touched his chin and finally understood why Gensokyo had to be rebuilt a second time. In his memory, the re-building of Gensokyo was related to the Hakurei Miko, so the focus was on the Miko guarding the gate of Gensokyo.

"Speaking of which, Rin-sama is getting stronger and stronger. Before, there would be some movement when entering the barrier of Gensokyo, but now..."

"Lan, I'm going to look for Sister Zi...Huh? What's wrong?"

"It's okay. It's probably a human who strayed in. No one has been here for decades. Just leave it to me."

As he said that, Lan Chaolin bowed apologetically, opened the gap and was about to crawl in.

Rin thought about it and wondered if the only person at the gate of Gensokyo was the Hakurei Miko. Could this girl have followed him in?

Thinking of this, he quickly followed Lan and stepped into the gap.

"Lord Rin?"

Lan's face was full of questions, while he opened the gap from the other end and slowly floated down. Lin was already familiar with the structure of the gap, so he took the lead and looked at the purple-haired girl on the ground, looking around curiously.

Sensing movement in mid-air, the girl stepped back a few steps cautiously. A talisman appeared in her hand. She looked up at Lin with a dull look in her eyes. After a long moment, she pointed her finger in disbelief: "You...you are a monster?"

"Human like you."

Facing a real little girl in her teens, Lin inexplicably felt that he was several hundred years old and could be considered a senior in any way. A sense of superiority... or perhaps a feeling of taking advantage of one's age lingered for a long time.

With the curious Yakumo Aoi behind him, Rin floated to the ground and pointed at the talisman in the hand of the Hakurei Miko: "If you don't believe me, why don't you try to hit me with it?"

"If you are not a monster, why are you here? And..."

Hakurei Miko looked at the pleasant scenery around her and said, "Where exactly is this place?"

"It's a long story, from a long, long time ago... Forget it, Lan, why don't you explain it to her?"

Yakumo Ai's tail was raised high, proving that she was very alert to the girl who broke in. When she heard Rin's order, she couldn't help but wonder: "Rin-sama, human priestesses are enemies of monsters, why..."

Rin wanted to imitate Taigong Wang and put on an unfathomable smile, but in the end she couldn't help but pick up the old habit, scratched her face and looked a little silly: "Because she is destined to be with our Gensokyo. Anyway, hurry up, I still have to look for Sister Murasaki and Kaguya."

The master's husband is half the master, and since Yakumo Aoi already trusted Rin, she did not doubt him and nodded, then began to explain to the Hakurei Miko.

She was a talkative person to begin with, and when she started talking she talked about probability and coordination. Lin estimated that it would take at least an hour or two to explain the whole thing, so he could use that time to go find his girlfriend.

One was telling a story and the other was telling a story, both were in a state of fascination and didn't even react to Lin's farewell.

The center of the Gensokyo barrier is the former site of Gensokyo Academy. Rin sensed a familiar aura before she even got close, and quickly accelerated into the library.

At a glance, he saw that his second wife Yakumo Yukari and his second sister-in-law Watatsuki Yoriki were on both sides of his statue, and they were immersed in their own meditation world. The aura of the two people intertwined and merged together, presenting a faint purple light that penetrated the roof.

Their faces looked somewhat exhausted. When they noticed someone, they opened their eyes with great effort. When they saw Rin for the first time, they thought they were dreaming.

"Hey, Sister Zi, Yiji, you've worked hard."

"cold?!"

At the same time, she exclaimed, and Yakumo Yukari's originally pale face instantly regained its spirits: "You ungrateful man, how could you not be dead yet?"

"..."
