Starting to Practice Swordsmanship from the Rural Area of the Second Dimension (1-323).

Summary

General Cheng, having increased his agility, realizes he can only sense vibrations rather than hear voices directly. He converses with Cong Yu, who struggles to understand his explanation. Despite her childlike demeanor, she is a deity of the shrine, which surprises General Cheng. Their interaction reveals Cong Yu's concern over his ability to see her, as many have encountered filth but not her. After a brief exchange of compliments, Cong Yu feels flattered but embarrassed. General Cheng decides to sleep rather than pursue a vengeful spirit, reflecting on the events of the day. The next morning, he prepares to leave the shrine, dismissing concerns about lingering dangers. Later, he investigates an old book about a curse spirit linked to resentments from the Warring States period. He suspects the shrine's lockdown is due to spiritual impurities rather than wild beasts, prompting him to seek more information on the curse spirit independently.
