I’m a Witch In Dongying

Maybe there were other gods enshrined by humans a long time ago, but because of the age, even with the long lifespan of the big monster, they have already died. The relevant history has also been wiped out by the wind and sand in the long-term change.

The Rain Master continued: "For thousands of years, there have been countless monsters and humans who wanted to explore this question, but no one knew the real answer.

So you don't have to dig too deep into this issue.

You just need to know that this place is far wider than the present world. This place has existed since ancient times, even before the human group has officially appeared.

All the evil things that have been recorded, unrecorded, or even never appeared in human history and exist purely in the imagination can find their prototypes here.

And all the gods who have existed, died and have not died in the mythology also sleep here...

Here is the beginning of everything and the end of everything.

Even the earliest group of gods only used this place to lock in the monsters and evil things that once existed in the world.

The time when this action took place was about 1,400 years ago in the Asuka era. At that time, the capital of Dongying was not even in Kyoto, but in Fujiwara-kyo in Nara Prefecture. "

Of course, this action was not done all at once, but continued for decades.

The so-called "locking in" is not the kind of arrest in the normal sense, and then lock it up.

Even with the power of the gods, it is impossible to capture all the eight million demons. If it can be done, it would be better to end the war directly on the physical level.

Therefore, the method used by the gods actually relies on the "Gate of Yellow Springs".

——Just like when the breath of the "inner world" is released through the "door", it will form "yin rich spots" everywhere in the world, so the gods can also rely on their own great power to release a lot of these breaths in the world. The place is peeled off in pieces and gathered to the other side of the "door", which fundamentally cuts off the possibility of a large number of monsters forming.

The process is not easy.

Because those monsters can't wait to die, the goals of the two sides are contradictory, and the battle can only break out.

And this kind of stripping is actually very rough. In addition to monsters, there will be large tracts of villages and human beings, which will be gathered into the "middle world" together, and most of them will be killed by monsters in the first few decades. die, and the rest will gradually die out over the next few hundred years.

Maybe there are still a small number of survivors in very few places, just like the description in "Peach Blossom Spring", but the proportion is very small.

As far as Dongying is concerned, a large number of gods including Izanagi and Izanami have consumed a lot of power.

Most of them fell into a long slumber shortly after the "stripping" was completed.

Only a small number of them still maintain their relationship with the present world. For example, Amaterasu and Susanoo occasionally appear at the shrine dedicated to them, or convey the "oracle" to their priests and priestesses, but the number of appearances is also Fewer and fewer, and in the past few hundred years, it will almost never show up.

However, the gods still made some plans for their future after all.

And many of them have the habit of holding groups, such as Izanagi.

Although it is impossible to travel freely in and out of the "inner world", if the scope is limited to the "inner world", it is still possible to open up a place to sleep with the residual strength.

For example, the "Tao Tianyuan" mentioned in "The Chronicle of Ancient Events" was created by a group of gods such as Izanagi and Amaterasu.

Similar is the "land of yellow spring" opened up by Izanami and Tsukiyomi...

Well, it is estimated that the couple may have separated because of emotional discord, and they have also divided the custody of the two children.

The remaining one, Susanoo, went out on his own and went it alone.

According to the records of "The Chronicle of Ancient Events", this guy helped human beings to kill the eight-headed snake, married Qida Tianji, and later lived in the country of Izumo, and gave birth to several sons.

The "Heavenly Demons" and "Heavenly Demons" in Hundred Ghosts Night Walk are also inextricably linked with Susanoo.

——By the way, the Izumo country is actually the present Eastern Honshu.

——So according to the mythology, Susanoo didn't seem to stay in the "inner world" in the end, but returned to the present world.

As for why this guy no longer appears, it is unknown. There may be other changes, or it may be that he changed **** in the long-term battle, figured it out, and then went out to experience life like an old monster.

Leave this exception aside.

Most of the gods no longer return to the world. In addition to the fact that most of the individuals have too much power consumption and have to fall into a deep sleep, there is another very important reason, which is the problem of power consumption.

For these high-ranking gods and big monsters, returning from the "inner world" to the present world is a very power-intensive thing, even much more than ordinary little ghosts and monsters.

If it was in its prime, it would be fine to say, but most of the gods and monsters who are now in a state of half-dead do not have the ability to return to the world at will.

In layman's terms, it can be understood as the percentage of blood deduction in the game, the stronger the strength, the more deductions...

There are only a few special methods that can reduce or even exempt this consumption——

For example, the power flowing in the blood of the Baishui family.

There are also high-level Fushen gods like "Cloud Outside Mirror", who can travel between Yin and Yang at almost no cost.

And these kinds of powers are coveted by even the gods, and there is no clear explanation for the reasons for their formation, it can only be attributed to a special mutation.

Even if you look at the history of thousands of years in the past, there are only a handful of humans and gods who can do this.

...

After the threat of monsters weakened, humans began to have more time to devote to the development of the technology tree.

In addition, after the cultivation method is gradually completed, the average level of human practitioners is also rising. Although the great onmyoji like Abe Seimei, who can use his own strength to rival the great monsters, has appeared in thousands of years. There are so few, but the chances of the next-level practitioners appearing are still relatively high, and a few will appear from time to time.

If they cooperate properly with each other, they can also deal with or conquer high-level monsters.

As for the "Dharma Apocalypse Era" caused by the fact that a large amount of aura was also enclosed in the "inner world", as well as the modern technology and hot weapons that have only appeared and emerged in the past few hundred years, it is another matter.

By the way.

What many religions call "reincarnation" actually exists, and it is a mechanism that exists in the "inner world".

Powerful gods or big monsters can interfere with them through their own power. For example, Izanami is in charge of a part of the power of "reincarnation" and becomes the master of the "land of yellow spring" in mythology, while the "Sixth Heaven Demon King" Through subjective interference in reincarnation, he was reincarnated in the Warring States Period in the form of Oda Nobunaga.

But the mechanism of reincarnation itself was not created by any of them.

Therefore, the essential problem of the "inner world" is actually the same as "the origin of the universe".

It is too deep and distant, even if the answer is known, it is meaningless.

"I understand."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded, thinking at a high speed, and then slowly asked: "Then...the white lotus on Lantern Mountain, and the black mud, what's going on?"

Bai Shuiqiu already knew something about the origin of the black mud.

The body of that thing may be an evil thing similar to the red mist or the "Yamagata Monster", but because of some mutations, it merged with the existence of "The Gate of Yellow Springs", so it became extremely difficult to deal with.

However, Bai Shuiqiu knew almost nothing about Bai Lian's details. She had long wanted to ask Yu Shishen in person, and now she finally got the opportunity.

The Rain Master paused for a moment before opening his mouth again: "Black mud is a kind of evil, and its body is transformed by deep resentment. Although the "Gate of Yellow Spring" can prevent humans or monsters from inside and outside the door from attacking Passing on the opposite side does not prevent the passage of resentment, hostility, and murderous thoughts. Even this feature itself is what the gods want. As long as the "Gate of Yellow Springs" is turned into a one-way passage, then the resentment and hostility of human society will be reduced. Absorbed into the "middle world", to avoid too many monsters from appearing, and then reopen the door from this world.

And black mud is an unexpected exception.

It was formed outside the "Gate of Yellow Springs", but due to some coincidences, it merged with the "Gate of Yellow Springs" in a strange manner, and it was still condensed under the constant sacrifice of those human believers. There is a little bit of inferior "godhead".

It can be said that it has the characteristics of gods, resentment aggregates, and the "door" itself at the same time, but apart from resentment aggregates, each of the rest is mixed and impure. In the eyes of real gods or big monsters, It's just a "pseudo-god" who has stolen some of the power of the gods, and the real person is not in the stream.

The power of this thing is not weak, but it is not that strong. With these shikigami around you now, if you really have to deal with it, you have a good chance of winning.

But Bailian... This thing is very dangerous to humans. "

Chapter 809 The last request (two in one)

"He is not an ordinary evil, but one of the oldest gods ever, who just turned his back on mankind for some reason.

Compared with other gods and big monsters, his most frightening ability is immortality. Even if his body or even his soul is destroyed, he can come back after a period of time, as if there is no way to kill him, and he It can also arbitrarily seize and devour the bodies of other humans, monsters and gods, and even godheads.

That thing is something that even many big monsters are not willing to provoke easily.

Once entangled, it will cause endless trouble.

In the battle that broke out between the **** and the big monster a long time ago, He was also seriously injured, and even only a remnant was left, but because of his powerful ability, he did not fall asleep or sleep because of it. To die, but to always look for the opportunity to occupy the body of others and return to the present world.

If it weren't for His power not fully recovered, I am afraid that as early as seventy years ago, He would have occupied Sana's body and returned to the human world. "

Bai Shuiqiu's heart froze when he heard "Seize the body".

really……

This ability is probably what Bai Lian fears the most.

If the judgment is correct...

Shirasu Sana's practice of burning flesh and soul and turning it into a "human talisman" in the past is not only because only such means can suppress the black mud and the "Gate of Yellow Springs".

More because, if she doesn't take the initiative to burn out her body, then the white lotus will occupy her body and return to the world.

Unlike the rain **** who has a dragon body, the body of the white lotus has been destroyed, or it is simply a **** of the spiritual system from the beginning, and needs a physical body to carry itself in order to walk freely in this world.

The Baishui people, who are born with the power of yin and yang in their blood, are the most suitable host.

——That is, what the Rain Master said, the power of blood flowing in the Baishui clan is the power that even the gods covet.

Once the latter succeeds, the resulting result is likely to be far worse than the soul flying away...

"Then, what does Ashiya Doman have to do with it?"

Bai Shuiqiu slowly frowned: "When I was in the "Inner World", I once heard those from the Jiuju faction say that Ashiya Doman once left a note, saying that the white lotus is a very important thing and involves longevity The mystery of immortality, so the people of Jiuju's faction will find a way to find him...

Could it be that Ashiya Doman discovered Bailian after entering the "inner world", and had contact with him and even formed a cooperative relationship. By promising to help him resurrect, in exchange for the latter's immortal power, he lived more than 600 years old?

Forehead……

I don’t know if you’ve heard this name before, Ashiya Road is full of an onmyoji from the Heian era, a very powerful one, and his strength may be second only to Abe Seimei…”

This last explanation is actually a bit redundant.

Because in the Heian period a thousand years ago, the Yamanaka Shrine has not been destroyed, and the rain **** is not weak to this level, and still maintains some connections with the world——

Therefore, after the collapse of the Yamanaka Shrine, it was possible to rescue some of the instruments and inheritance.

For this practitioner who has been among the best in the entire Eastern Ying history for thousands of years, the Rain Master has obviously heard something.

However, the tone of the Rain Master's response did not sound easy: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, the situation should be similar to what you said. If I guessed correctly...

The human named Ashiya Doman probably wanted to use the white lotus to spy on the power of the gods, and even deprived the godhead by devouring the white lotus and placed it on himself, so as to gain eternal life.

But in the end, it failed to do so, but instead was swallowed by Bailian and became the bait for the latter to regain his strength.

Without this heavy factor, Bai Lian's recovery speed might not be so fast.

And the child of Sana seventy years ago...

It will not die in a place like Lantern Mountain.

When I met that child, I had vaguely foreseen the coming of bad luck, and lent some of my divine power to Sana, trying to change her destiny.

It's a pity that I didn't expect that this accident was actually related to the white lotus that had disappeared from the world for thousands of years, and it would come so quickly. "

When he said the last sentence, Yu Shishen shook his head and sighed, as if he was very sorry for the death of Baishui Sana.

If the latter hadn't died, the incense of Tianmu Shrine would never have declined so fast. In that case, maybe the Dragon God wouldn't need to sleep here for so long, and be weak to this level.

From another point of view, it was precisely because the incense at Tianmu Shrine was not very prosperous at that time, so the rain **** in this space could not communicate with the world in real time, which was also one of the reasons for the final tragedy.

After a pause, the Rain Master said softly: "Actually, unlike many human imaginations, although the lives of gods and monsters are long, they are not immortal in the true sense.

Even powerful monsters often have reached their twilight years after surviving for thousands of years. Unless there is a special chance, they will slowly age and die with the passage of time.

A large number of gods and big monsters fell asleep, and part of the reason was to slow down the process and make the day of the end come later.

Although the characteristics of white lotus are particularly special, it may not be really eternal.

Perhaps He contacted and cooperated with Ashiya Doman four hundred years ago, in order to find a way out for himself before certain changes came. "

Bai Shuiqiu lightly pursed his lips, a little unexpectedly saying that.

But the information she had obtained from Ayaka Onishi and the others could already be linked together.

It seemed that Doman Ashiya four hundred years ago had indeed cultivated various techniques to the limit that humans could achieve, but his life extended by constantly changing his body had finally come to an end.

Under the circumstance that spells and life were already at a bottleneck, he had to take a new approach to try to break through, but he accidentally got rid of it, but ended his life that was too long ahead of schedule.

And this guy left the content about "white lotus" in his notes, probably not to encourage his disciples and grandchildren to explore the "law of the gate of yellow spring" and the "mystery of eternal life", the real intention is probably to leave a trick In order to leave a trace of possibility of survival in the event of an accident, so that the younger generation can save him, or borrow the younger generation's body to resurrect.

This kind of intention is in line with the image of Ashiya Doman, an old-fashioned onmyoji who is cunning and ruthless.

It's a pity that this intention was too obscure, and was not understood in time by the following generations of Jiuju's disciples.

When they finished studying the spells that Ashiya Michiman left behind, they really noticed the "white lotus" and took the time to find the latter, it was three hundred years after Ashiya Michiman left without saying goodbye. If the latter was really swallowed by the white lotus, it would have been cold for so many years.

A moment of silence.

After Bai Shuiqiu digested the information he got from Yu Shishen, he asked another thing that had always puzzled him: "I still have the last... No, it's the penultimate question, you know this Is there a "system" that has been in me over time? "

long silence.

Finally, when Bai Shuiqiu even thought that the Rain Master might not respond, the Dragon God nodded: "Of course I know."
