Quadruple split

Tengu is a very high-level monster. It first appeared in the "Book of Mountains and Seas·Western Mountains". The description of this creature in the book is - Three hundred miles to the west, it is called Yinshan Mountain. The water from the turbid bath comes out and flows south to Fanze. Among them, there are many beasts, called Tengu. Its shape is like a raccoon with a white head, and its sound is like a pomegranate, which can ward off evil.

To put it simply, this thing is a lucky beast with a white cat head. The familiar "Tengu Eclipses the Moon" refers to this Tengu, and it was never the roaring Tengu raised by Erlang Shen.

However, although this creature first appeared in Shan Hai Jing, its popularity in Japan is much higher than that in our local area. There is a more mainstream saying that the concept of 'Tengu' was spread by Chinese merchants in the Edo period. It was introduced into Japan, and because it also means a sky star (meteor), it was greatly distorted and demonized by the Japanese who were in awe of meteors at that time, and eventually evolved into the "Tengu" in Japanese legend today.

To this day, in the more orthodox records there, this kind of humanoid creature called Tengu has wings on its back and often appears as a red face with a long nose. The origin of the once popular term "神影" is It means that a child was taken away by a tengu and then hidden.

Now that I think about it, it was probably just the families who had lost their children in that era trying to comfort themselves.

All in all, in Japanese myths and legends, Tengu has always had a rather transcendent status and fashionable value, and has even developed a lot of derivatives, such as Crow Tengu, Big Tengu, etc., and now, it has become similar to [ Yuki Onna] and [Kappa] are international monsters of the same status.

In the Onmyoji industry, Tengu is also a high-level shikigami.

Then some people may want to say, wasn't the Tengu thing spread from us in ancient times and was blackmailed? How come he has become a real shikigami? Teacher Wutong, you are not too rigorous in telling stories!

Hey, just listen to what I’m telling you——

First of all, it is true that the concept of Tengu was passed from our side. Before those businessmen who like to talk nonsense came to Japan to do business, it did not exist in the concept of the Japanese people. But the problem is that the concept of Onmyoji also It passed from our side.

You know, as the mainstay of the "other world" in Japan, the profession of Onmyoji first came from our side, and before they followed the locals and became "Onmyoji", they always regarded themselves as [spiritual mediums] in China. .

The reason why we want to seek development overseas is mainly because the domestic situation in the "other world" is too complicated. The living space of psychics is severely squeezed by marginalized people, people with supernatural powers, etc. In the end, many psychic families even It's hard for ordinary people to make a living even if they give up their wealth to perform exorcisms and dances for ordinary people, so they have to move away from home under the pressure of life.

It is true that they are people with various magical abilities, but no matter how magical their abilities are, they can spread evil spirits and summon ghosts and gods by raising their arms, and they cannot live by drinking the northwest wind. If they do illegal activities... they can't do it. If you don't say anything, even if you can show off your face and take action, if an ordinary person steals money or robs something, the most he will do is get caught and put in a police station. If a 'talented stranger' dares to do such a thing, he will be beaten up by his peers. Damn, if you are lucky enough to be issued a wanted order, 100 credit limit (the common currency of the other world, the real-time exchange rate with RMB at this moment is 1:77), you can make all kinds of people with great supernatural powers but not very good at raising them. His own boss turned into a demon, and those people generally acted lightly and not harshly.

All in all, what is more disillusioning is that those so-called talented people, regardless of their various weird abilities, are actually not as good as the vast majority of ordinary people.

So at that time, there were a group of people who couldn't stand the crazy environment in China and decided to leave their country to make a living. At that time, several large families of psychics chose to go to Japan to open up wasteland. Later, He became the "Onmyoji" in modern Japan.

By the way, the Gu family and the Yi family were two psychic families who had a very close relationship at first, so even if the Gu family eventually left Japan and the Yi family that stayed in China gradually weakened, the two parties still maintained contact, and the Yi family The reason why they were able to tie the knot was that the two families had decided on a marriage for the two of them. As for the process... I won't mention it for now. The result can be seen just by looking at Idong, so there is no need to elaborate.

All in all, although with the development and localization, differences have gradually emerged between Onmyoji and psychics, in the final analysis, both parties still have the same origin, and they also have similar uses of 'spirits', such as Yi Dong's 'Original Ghost' is actually a kind of shikigami, while Gu Xiaole's 'Body Possession' comes from some of the techniques in the realm of super-spiritual bodies in the orthodox psychic secrets.

In addition to the similarities, the differences between the two sides have become increasingly obvious. The mainstream psychics in China still mainly deal with "ghosts" as in the past, but the onmyojis in Japan, although there are many supernatural stories there, , but the population was not enough to form an independent underworld or underworld, so it was difficult to continue playing ghosts, so they looked for another way and started thinking about 'demon' and 'weird'.

I still remember that not long ago, the father of the Ji sisters had just popularized the concepts of the four major alien species to Mo Tan.

Mainly formed by people's thoughts or obsessions after death - ghosts, representing ghosts: black and white, impermanence.

Demons are troublesome and unfriendly creatures from another plane, representing monsters: demons and succubi.

Including but not limited to fruits, vegetables, animals, washing machines and other things, after becoming spirits, they are collectively called - demons, representing monsters: spider spirit, white bone spirit, pipa spirit.

Formed by people's fabricated or imaginary trends of thought, they are magical species that do not really exist but come to reality from the world of consciousness - monsters, representing monsters: Kirin, Shenlong, Taotie, and Flying Spaghetti.

Due to geographical reasons in Japan, both ghosts and demons are very limited. Even if there are two or three kittens occasionally, they are not of much use. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to psychics who are extremely dependent on aliens like 'ghosts'.

But as the saying goes, there is no end to the road. Although this small place in the eyes of the spiritual mediums at that time did not have any ghost resources, it did have a relatively dense number of 'demon'. Not only that, because of the small but concentrated ideological trend. , as long as some people are willing to believe in something made up, that thing may become a real 'weird'.

In the same trend of thought, psychics found that monsters that had to be believed by at least tens of millions of people in their hometown could materialize directly, but here only tens of millions of people believed in them, and they could directly materialize.

As a result, they who turned from mediums to onmyojis also changed their focus from 'ghosts' and 'psychics' to 'monsters' and 'controllers'.

And one of the answers in this regard is-Shikigami.

To sum up, the 'Tengu', who has been revered by countless people there since ancient times, is a very ideal shikigami.

Of course, Gu Xiaole's shikigami 'Tengu' (husband No. 22) is not a guy with a red face, a big beard, and a big nose, who is not pretty at all, but a guy with a 'red face, long nose,' The mask with a big beard and a big nose is actually a handsome black-winged guy with flowing silver hair and a handsome face. His strength is completely worthy of that handsome face. After turning into a super spirit and being used by Gu Xiaole to "possess and fit", he directly It made its owner's physical fitness rise several levels, not only providing him with the ability to fly, but also giving Gu Xiaole very powerful physical combat abilities.

However, the mutated monster [Takayamamon] summoned by Sakaki is also frighteningly powerful. This giant beast has never revealed its full form and has been hidden underground most of the time. In the past few minutes, it has launched no less than twenty rounds of high-level magic. , and finally even sprayed a large piece of [Gravity Technique] in the three-meter-high airspace centered on himself in one breath, almost pushing Gu Xiaole back to the ground.

But in the end, the girl who had acquired some of the Great Tengu's abilities and combat experience was still slightly better. Not only was she not pushed back to the extremely dangerous land, she also took the opportunity to lock the opponent's position, and with a sudden wave of her hand, she temporarily turned into a feather fan [Black [Hina·Zhanshiluejie] directly used a burst of irresistible evil wind to 'dig' out the huge monster that was integrated with the giant rock.

After Sakaki immediately took back [Longshan Beast], he did not continue to summon it. Instead, he smiled at Gu Xiaole, who slowly landed and separated from the big tengu: "You are worthy of Miss Xiaole, who is on the top of the list of combat power. It really lives up to its name.”

When neither of them tried their best, Sakaki was defeated in all three battles. Whether it was Lihuang, Dazhen or Longshan, they were easily defeated by Gu Xiaole and her shikigami. Not only that, the latter also greeted him while always Maintaining the suppression of Musashi, Little Thorn Wolf, Azhi, Amao and others shows how unfathomable his strength is.

"Uncle, you are so polite. Your friends seem very unhappy."

Gu Xiaole, who was leaning on the big tengu, smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it really okay to deliberately suppress their strength like this?"

Sakaki smiled nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter."

"What do you say now?"

Gu Xiaole did not continue to meddle in his own business to defend Sakaki's summoned beasts. He just looked at the group of four not far away who had almost lost all the space to move: "Those four can't hold on any longer. Do you need me to stop?"

Sakaki shook his head gently, waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. I believe they will gain a lot this time. After all, the opportunity to train with an exceptional powerhouse like Miss Xiaole is simply rare."

"That's true."

Gu Xiaole was not polite, and happily accepted this compliment which was not flattering, and then waved his hand with a smile: "Then we are destined to meet again. I wonder if we can meet in the audition or the main competition."

Sakaki shrugged and said sincerely: "I hope not."

Click——

The next moment, with a sound that sounded like a mirror shattering, Gu Xiaole slowly unfolded the [Hei Chu·Zhi Shi Lu Jue] in his hand and waved it out seemingly lightly, directly destroying this ghostland together with the Rockets. 'Everyone brushed it off' together.

[Your teammate: Azhi, died in battle]

[Your teammate: Amao, died in battle]

[Your teammate: Little Thorn Wolf, has been killed]

[Your teammate: Shinto Musashi and Fujiwara Genshin, died in battle]

[You have been killed]

[In view of this simulated battle, all members of the temporary team "Fire Sword Team" were killed and cannot enter the spectator mode. The mission "Haunted Church" automatically failed when all teams were wiped out and returned to the public space after five seconds]

'What a monster...'

Sakaki, whose vision went dark after being pronounced dead by the system, sighed in his heart. Then, even without waiting for the system countdown to end, he voluntarily chose to return to the public space. He needed to make a tactical summary for the four of them as soon as possible, and then make a summary of the generals in the main game. The Four Heavenly Kings, who formed a team with him, called over to analyze the intelligence.

As the mainstay of Joban Studio, Mr. Sakaki is always so busy during working hours.

On the other side, the temporary team "Haunted Church" also returned to Yi Dong's personal room. Except for Gu Xiaole, the expressions of the other three people were a little dazed.

Mo Tan was actually a little better. Yi Dong and Yu Chen both had a feeling of 'Is this the end? ! ’ It’s like a movie that has just finished the foreshadowing and has two scenes, slamming the ending in the audience’s face, and then the ending credits roll at lightning speed. In short, it’s very strange.

"Otherwise? You don't really think that Uncle Sakaki will have a good fight with me, do you?"

Gu Xiaole squinted at Yi Dong who was complaining a lot, shook his head and said: "Impossible. I am a professional who serves results. It is absolutely impossible for me to expose my strength in this kind of simulated battle without any benefit, let alone someone like me. The opponent who could easily pose a threat to him in the main match has no time to hide his weakness, so how can he let you enjoy watching it?"

Yidong sighed and said helplessly: "So, sometimes I really sympathize with those professional players. A good game has turned into work and business. It makes me tired just thinking about it."

"Everything is tiring when it becomes work, but at least I am tired from playing."

Mo Tan smiled and said, "You, a second-generation rich man, may sympathize with others. Even common people like me can't envy you."

Gu Xiaole immediately clapped his hands and suggested: "Then Tanjiang, why don't you just marry into our Gu family? Let me tell you, our family also has industry in the country. Although my uncle is a rich man, our family's background is very important." It’s much deeper. I’m sure you’ll live a more playful life than this kid. As for me, I have a lot of husbands, so I’m not short of a three-dimensional person like you. As long as Yuchen doesn’t mind…”

"I'm very mind."

Yuchen interrupted Gu Xiaole's nonsense with a smile, and said sweetly: "I'll tell Sister Xiaole later when I don't mind."

"also."

Gu Xiaole nodded happily and said with a smile: "Then it's settled."

"Yeah, well, that's it."
