Chapter 440: Extra: Do not publicize family scandals
Maybe it's a story from another universe.
…………
…
The mountain road is steep and rugged.
Towering trees can be seen everywhere, and when the sun shines directly, it directly presents a lush and lush scenery.
It's just that the terrifying roars that resound through the mountains and forests from time to time, which are not like human howls, break the tranquility of this quiet scenery, destroying some of the atmosphere, making this scenery no longer suitable for spring outings, but more
There was a faint smell of blood.
"Since ancient times, people have regarded steep mountains or mountain roads as the dividing line between humans and monsters..."
Walking on the rugged mountain path, the young man in white clothes and black hair gently waved the green branches in his hands. He had just broken them off the roadside casually, and he was just as casual as breaking off the branches.
With careless movements, he killed one after another of the attacking monsters.
"...Once upon a time, both sides established impregnable gates in order to prevent the other party from invading, but this also made the gap between humans and demons deeper and deeper."
The roar stopped abruptly.
It was like when a piece of audio was playing, someone suddenly pressed the pause button.
Those strong and burly ghosts originally thought that a fresh feast of human flesh was coming to their door. When they smelled the scent brought by Shanlan, they roared happily and roared out from their hiding places in the mountains and forests.
Special effects that carry stench or the smell of blood, or even fire, frost and other attribute energy.
It looks menacing and unstoppable——
Then he was whipped to the head with a whip, which turned into bursts of black smoke and melted into the air. It was as clean and neat as the soldiers in the lawn mowing game. No matter how many times or how fierce it was, it was meaningless. It was just
A unit of measurement that highlights the character's martial prowess and embellishes the battle scene...
Even because death came so suddenly and unprepared, these demons and ghosts did not react at all and were sent away before they knew what happened.
"This place can be regarded as a microcosm of that chaotic era. The origin of Suzuka Mountain Road can be traced back to the early Heian period. A very tragic battle between humans and monsters took place here. The entire village was directly razed, and the army could not come.
Killed cleanly..."
Gu Mo didn't care about these little episodes. After all, unless these guys exploded with something, even if it was just junk material, then it would be worth taking a second look at them.
Otherwise, I would be embarrassed and would not bother to pay attention to the specific situation of these mobs. After all, for a senior player, who has time to remember how many pieces of bread he has eaten... ah no, remember.
How many monsters have you killed?
This is completely unreasonable. Even if there are statistics in the game, they probably won't care about it... Players are often astonishingly indifferent to this aspect.
"But fortunately, this evil disaster did not spread in the end and was contained in time. Moreover, there was a woman who worked for it from beginning to end. After the problem was successfully solved, people dedicated this place to her in order to commemorate her achievements.
It’s all about naming…”
Gu Mo just continued to talk to himself, introducing them to the scene and story information this time. At the same time, he waved the green branches in his hands and casually smashed another one, completely unaware of the danger or anything wrong.
The figure who rushed over happily to die.
At first glance, the figure looks like a human, but if you look closely, you will find that it is actually a big rat with the size of a human, but it only moves upright and is dressed like a human.
Wearing a monk's cassock robe from nowhere, with Buddhist beads hanging around his neck.
——This is an iron rat.
——It is said that a monk who died with resentment turned into a giant rat demon...
This statement seems to be quite credible, because the appearance characteristics look quite distinct. However, this kind of monster is relatively rare, and it is not easy to deal with. Because even an ordinary mouse can inexplicably grow to the size of an adult.
The size is already scary enough.
Not to mention a monster with extraordinary power.
Terrifying muscle density, sharp iron claws that cut through iron like mud, serrated tails with hair that looks like hardened spikes, coupled with the fact that they are often demons turned into monks who are well-behaved and have mastered some spells... Overall
Speaking of it, it is indeed a relatively difficult monster to deal with——
Of course, this is just more difficult than the average person.
As for under that soft green branch, all monsters and ghosts are naturally treated equally. There is no discrimination, so there is no special attack bonus, but it is infused with amazing magic power and is based on the law of flying with great force to save all living beings equally.
, it is as simple to use as pressing the left button to delete the enemy,
Kikyo and Hidechiyo, who were behind Gu Mo, watched silently, feeling accustomed to this.
Anyway, there was this guy who was doing his job to clear the way ahead, so they basically didn't need to do anything. Although the attacks by monsters and ghosts along the way, in their opinion, they were nothing more than mosquito bites.
, don’t take it to heart at all.
"If Suzuka Mountain Road is named after this... it should refer to the deeds of Suzuka Gozen. I have also heard of her name, but I didn't expect it to exist in this world."
The witch wearing white clothes and scarlet hakama raised her eyes calmly and spoke softly. She stared at the beautiful mountain peaks in front of her. As she got closer and closer, she felt the extraordinaryness here. The rich spiritual energy gave birth to creation.
It is a beautiful place with auras everywhere among the mountains and rivers.
Of course, not everything was good. There was something hidden behind it that made her with a sharp and powerful spiritual sense unable to help but raise her brows.
"There are indeed many similar mirror universes, and we have been to quite a few..." Gu Mo, who was walking in front, nodded, fully agreeing with this.
Just like parallel time and space, the history of the mirror universe is always similar and identical. He is also a little curious whether the earliest time and space flowed from the same singular point, and similar universes all started with the same reference time and space.
The template is expanded.
From the current point of view, it may be very possible, but he has not yet reached that level where he can explore the secrets of the universe and touch the deepest mysteries. Therefore, he can only make guesses first, based on the observed phenomena.
To guess the principle behind it.
"There should be some discrepancies. In my impression, Suzuka Gozen is also a goddess...just like Kamikuya." The miko thought about it for a moment and said thoughtfully.
The example she mentioned was of course the original goddess Kuye, not the fake monster god Kuye later, but the real goddess Kuye.
"Goddess...there is indeed a saying that Suzuka Gozen is considered to be a goddess who lives at the foot of the mountain. This is the record in this book." Gu Mo nodded lightly, and then took out a book from his sleeve.
The ancient manuscripts, the version of the story he was reading now, had exactly this statement.
…………
"The demon Otakemaru is raging, and the people of Ise are living in dire straits."
"Thunder and fire from the sky made the 30,000 troops miserable, and the general was unable to attack the ghosts and gods for a long time."
"At this time, a woman descended from the sky to Mount Suzuka."
——The second volume of "Tamura Soko".
…………
Turning over the ancient manuscript in his hand casually, Gu Mo shrugged noncommittally:
"But just think of it as a plane deviation value. Anyway, in this world, Suzuka Gozen is not a goddess, but a ghost girl. This is a certain fact."
While saying this casually, he glanced at the black-haired girl over there.
Speaking of which, is the story recorded here the story of Hidechiyo's mother Suzuka Gozen, or is it simply Hidechiyo's own story?
The black-haired girl, also wearing a miko costume, was frowning slightly over there, looking at the abnormality of the weapon in her hand.
She didn't know that the name someone was discussing was actually her mother Shen Yoshino, so she just held the Chuha Yamaru in her hand. She felt that the ghost-killing weapon was buzzing and trembling.
, making bursts of sword sounds, as if reacting to something in the distance.
Actually——
The group of people appeared here because of Chuha Yamaru's guidance.
As early as after taking control of the entire Warring States Period, Gu Mo had already dug deep into the ground to find Chuye Yazhong, got another part of the broken Chuye Yamaru from the contemporary leader "Wu Ming", and combined it with Hidechiyo's knife
Together, they restored this ancient magic weapon.
It’s just that I was too busy before, and I didn’t have time to spare until now to prepare to deal with the story about the third DLC——
Travel back to the early Heian period and see the beginning of the creation of Chuha Yamaru.
It is also the beginning of the battle between humans and ghosts.
Well, to put it simply, it’s a story about helping Axiu go back in time to save her mother-in-law, and beating her brother-in-law violently at the same time... Because it is ultimately a matter of your own family, and the family scandal cannot be made public, so it is not easy to send out your subordinates for this kind of thing.
The legion went to enforce the law across time and space and took care of it on our behalf.
That's why they now appear in the depths of this steep mountain. Mount Suzuka, located at the junction of the former Ise Kingdom and Omi Kingdom, has been filled with many legends since ancient times.
Especially among all kinds of ghost stories, its status is actually a well-known heavyweight, because it involves Otakemaru, one of Japan's three major metamorphosis...
I just don’t know for some reason, whether the name is too masculine and not easy to be feminine, so under the impact of information from later generations——
Compared to the "Lord of Oeyama" Shuten Doji and "Golden-haired White-faced Nine-Tailed" Tamamo Mae, who were originally on the same level, this Mr. Otakemaru has gradually become less famous and feels somewhat unknown in comparison.
The sense of presence is relatively low.
"That thing should be right in front..."
The miko glanced at Chuha Yamaru calmly and spoke softly.
She could sense that there was a deserted village in front of her, and the source of the resonance with this magical weapon that seemed to be made of spiritual stones was located in it.
"Let's go and take a look..."
Gu Mo smiled casually and was about to take the lead in walking forward.
Just at this time, an extremely fast black shadow roared from the distant mountain peaks, like a falcon swooping down to catch its prey, coming fiercely and fiercely.
"Um?"
The black-haired girl, who was holding the radiant Chuha Yamaru and walking forward in the direction of the resonance, saw this scene and immediately frowned. She gently shook her hand and turned her wrist, and then handed it out with a straight knife!
It seems simple and unremarkable, but in fact, the sword technique is extremely fast, without any unnecessary movements, and hits the opponent's weak point almost exactly. It has the most exquisite skills, but also has overwhelming speed and power.
, the cutting line formed by the intertwined sword blades is a sure kill.
Blood splatters!
The black shadow was cut down by her sword and nailed to the ground.
"Crow Tengu..."
After a casual glance, Gu Mo shrugged, "But this one is too ugly, incomparable to the ones I know... Well, wait, Axiu, let me take a picture first."
Just in time to take it back to scare Wenwen.
