Shizuhisa moved very quickly. It only took her a moment to reappear in front of Hikari.
However, the news that she brought with her came as a surprise to Chi.
"Gods?"
"Yeah …."
Shizuhisa nodded slightly.
"I've asked the Ghost race. They said that the God of Tianjin is about to descend to this world and awaken the Amaterasu God to rule the world again …."
"Well, after the Ghost Eye King, it's the Amaterasu. They're all so troublesome …."
Hikari shook his head helplessly.
"By the way, what's going on with this Amaterasu? Are any of you familiar with Japanese mythology? "
Hikari asked as she looked at the people in front of her. She had no interest in Japanese mythology. She only knew a few names from mobile games.
"Uh …. I'm not very familiar with this kind of story …."
Hidaka Crimson shook her head a little embarrassedly. Nowadays, female high school students would never read the Book of Ancient Events. In fact, even in China, it was okay to read Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West, but it was another matter to read the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
"I'm not interested in the history of this kind of island country."
She didn't even care about the mythology of her own country, so why would she care about the mythology of an island country on the other side of the world?
"Shizuhisa, I'll leave it to you."
"Understood … Speak."
Shizuhisa was a Horned Dragon who had lived in Japan for hundreds of years. She had a lot of knowledge in this regard, so she nodded and told the whole story.
According to the records of Japan's Kojiki, after the world was formed, there were five gods, known as the Gods of Tianjin. After that, there were twelve generations of gods. These were the earliest recorded gods in Japan. At that time, the land was not yet formed, so the gods ordered Izanagi and Izanami to reinforce the land.
Then the two gods descended to the earth, built the country, and gave birth to the gods — well, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were the Japanese version of Adam and Eve.
There was a short story about these two gods. When Izanami gave birth to Vulcan, she was burned by Vulcan and died. Izanagi, who missed his beloved wife, chased his wife's soul all the way to the Yellow Springs, hoping that she would follow him back. In the end, Izanami decided to follow her husband back to the modern world. However, there was a condition. Before returning to the modern world, Izanami could not look back at his wife.
It turned out that the more you were told not to do something, the more you would want to do it. In short, Izanagi had broken his promise. Before he returned to the modern world, he could not help but look back at his wife, only to see Izanami's rotten, swollen, and maggot-ridden face. Izanagi was so scared that he immediately ran away, while Izanami chased after him desperately. Finally, Izanagi returned to the real world. In order to avoid his wife, who had turned into a ghost, from chasing after him, he pushed a stone to block the road to Yogi-hirasaka.
Izanami, on the other hand, cursed Izanami to kill a thousand of Izanagi's countrymen every day, but Izanami replied that if she did that, he would give birth to a thousand and five hundred babies every day ….
What the f * ck is this arithmetic?
After that, Izanagi gave birth to three children: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo.
He ordered Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to manage Takamagahara and the Country of Darkness respectively, while Susanoo stayed in the human world.
Just like how the mountains and rivers in Chinese legends could become spirits, there were also naturally born mountain gods in Japanese mythology. They were the Kunotsu Gods. After that, just like in the legends, Susanoo, who left Takamagahara, slew the Yamata no Orochi (he was quite famous), married the daughter of the local Kunotsu God, and became the ruler of the human world.
Amaterasu wanted to rule the human world, so he led the Tianjin gods to attack the human world in an attempt to conquer the Kunotsu Gods. Although Susanoo was the Tianjin God, he was already married and belonged to the Kunotsu Gods. Facing Amaterasu's attack, Susanoo led the Kunotsu Gods to fight back.
The result could be said to be a lose-lose. Amaterasu hid in Sky Iwado out of fear of Susanoo, while Susanoo was outnumbered and eventually died. Although the Kunotsu Gods were defeated in the end, the Tianjin God was also greatly injured.
"I see."
After listening to Shizuhisa's narration, Dushi finally understood what was going on between the Tianjin God and the Kunotsu Gods. To put it bluntly, it was similar to the conflict between the Chan Religion and the Jie Religion in The Investiture of the Gods. If the Chan Religion won, they would be the gods and deities, while if the Jie Religion lost, they would be monsters and ghosts …. The winner takes all, and the loser is the villain.
"In other words, those guys are planning to awaken Amaterasu hiding in Sky Iwado and rule the world again? They sure are ambitious. "
Frankly speaking, if this was any other place, Dushi wouldn't have bothered with these things at all. But this was his territory — if anyone dared to cause trouble, be it the Tianjin God or the God of Creation, they would all die!
"Yes, according to the Ghost Race, Amaterasu's Sky Iwado is sealed in Gotakano …."
"I see."
Hearing this, Dushi immediately figured out the whole thing. It was obvious, just as he had sensed before, that behind this series of events was the same thing — the resurrection of Amaterasu.
According to Shizuhisa, the Tianjin God wanted to resurrect Amaterasu, so Mount Koya must have fallen into their hands. Considering what Sanako said before, that monk was probably in danger on Mount Koya. Not only that, according to the Ghost Race, the Tianjin Gods were hunting down all those who would hinder their grand plan, including Psionic Ability users. In fact, the previous eyeball monster incident was caused by a Tianjin God — no wonder he would use this to deal with those Psionic Ability users.
Under this background, it was easy to understand why Mei Xi was attacked. There must be many defeated Gods and Demons sealed in the World of Gods and Demons, but if they wanted to rebel and seize power, they would definitely attack the prison and release the prisoners. As a guard, it was not surprising that Mei Xi was targeted by the Tianjin God.
After figuring out everything, the next step was ….
"Let's just leave Japan."
The Black Mist Branch decisively wanted to slip away.
"There are too many things to do here. Let's just find another place to stay. What Tianjin Divine Kingdom or Jin God? If they want to fight, let them. What does it have to do with us?"
"Should we leave? But what about the people here? "
Crimson obviously did not want to leave her home, and she was also worried that the Tianjin Gods would attack her friends. Just now, Crimson specifically called Heizawa Ren, Asou Kaito, and Fang Xili, and learned that they had not been attacked yet. But just in case, Crimson still advised them to be vigilant.
"No, it's not that troublesome."
However, Dushi shook his head decisively.
"It's very simple. Their goal is to resurrect Amaterasu, so we just need to kill Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, and then kill those Tianjin Gods who came out to cause trouble. The rest of the idiots will naturally retreat obediently."
"Uh …."
Hearing Dushi's words, Crimson's expression was a little complicated. After all, she was also Japanese and had heard of these myths and legends. In Crimson's ears, Dushi's words sounded like he wanted to kill the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West …. It was really awkward.
Fortunately, she did not follow Dushi for so long in vain. Besides, Crimson was a person who grew up in a modern society, so her fear of the gods was not as deep as that of the people in the past. Although she felt a little awkward, she quickly adjusted herself.
"So, what are we going to do?"
"You guys stay in the office. I'll be back soon …. If you encounter anything, inform me immediately. Muji, you're responsible for investigating the surroundings. If you find Xiwei, bring her back."
After giving a few instructions, Yu's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
The situation was urgent, so it was better to deal with it as soon as possible.
When Dushi arrived at the foot of Mount Koya, night had already fallen. The whole mountain was quiet. Only the lights on the roadside illuminated the empty cable car. The stairs extended all the way to the mountain gate.
"Uh …. Speaking of which, where is Mount Koya?"
Dushi looked at the mountain temple in front of her with a dumbfounded expression. She had only seen the name "Mount Koya" in manga, but she was not very clear where Mount Koya was referring to. Although she could use spiritual energy to investigate, it was still difficult to find any traces of those guys, perhaps because the other party had also set up a barrier.
Should I find someone to lead the way?
Just as Dushi was looking left and right, trying to find someone to lead the way, she saw a monk wearing a bamboo hat running stealthily from a path not far away. As he ran, he kept looking back, as if he was guarding against something.
I might as well let him lead the way.
With that thought, Dushi's figure flashed and appeared in front of the monk, blocking his way.
"Hey!"
"Ahhh!!"
Seeing someone suddenly appear in front of him, the monk was startled. He hurriedly stopped and stared at her vigilantly. But soon, after seeing the person in front of him clearly, the monk breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, I was wondering who it was. So it's Miss Kasugano."
As he spoke, the monk took off his bamboo hat and revealed his face. Dushi raised her eyebrows when she saw the face that she was not very familiar with.
"You are …."
"It's me, it's me, Takigawa Faso. We've met a few times."
"Oh …. So it's you.
Hearing this, Ji Yunshu nodded and remembered.
"What are you doing in Mount Koya? Miss Kasugano? "
While asking, Takigawa Faso looked behind him vigilantly.
"To tell you the truth, Mount Koya is not very peaceful right now. Something very serious seems to have happened …."
"Miss Masako said that you haven't contacted her recently, so she asked me to come and take a look. Besides, I have something to do here …. Do you know how to get to Mount Koya?"
"You're going to Mount Koya?"
Takigawa Faso's face suddenly fell.
"I don't think so. Mount Koya feels strange right now. Something big seems to have happened. If you go to Mount Koya …. "
"Of course I know what happened there. In fact, that's why I'm here …. Are you going to take me there? Or should I just smash the door? "
"…. I'll take you there. Let's go this way."
Takigawa Faso sighed helplessly, then turned around and took Dushi back the way he had just run.
"It wasn't easy for me to get out, and now I have to go back …."
While grumbling, Takigawa Faso told Si about his experience. It turned out that not long ago, he suddenly received a message from his master in Mount Koya, telling him not to go back to Mount Koya no matter what happened. This puzzled Takigawa Faso. After all, he usually did not go back to Mount Koya, so it was unnecessary for his master to send him this message. But in turn, this made him more and more puzzled, so he came back to the mountain to see the situation.
"… When I came back, I found that the whole Mount Koya had changed. My master disappeared for some reason, and several other people I knew had also disappeared. However, when I asked the people around me, they seemed to have never existed. Not only that, I could also feel that the monk soldiers seemed to be monitoring me. I felt something was wrong, so I found an opportunity to escape from their surveillance and escaped."
Takigawa Faso looked at Dushi doubtfully.
"Speaking of which, what exactly happened?"
"You'll know soon enough."
Dushi stopped and looked at the monastery gate in the valley in front of her.
"Is this the place?"
"This is the place."
"Very good …."
Dushi nodded slightly. She stretched out her right hand. The next moment, a scroll appeared in her hand. She pulled the scroll open and threw it up!
Investiture of the Gods, rise!
Then, Dushi took a deep breath.
"Gods of Tianjin, come out and die!"
