"Don't go there, outsider. You don't belong here, you don't belong in the dreamland of the Great Immortal Peach God, at least not yet. If you come into contact with the body of the dream and phantom without a soul, reality will invade and the dream will restart. What will happen specifically?
, I think you should have tried it yesterday."
The tone of the girl in black robe was still cold and cold. The lantern in her hand creaked and swayed in the night. The weak light reflected on the ground, but only cast a haze that was thicker than the night.
"you……"
Kamiyakawa held the boy-kiri, glanced at the black-robed girl, and then looked at the little Yata bird on the river bank a little further away.
The Yata Bird, after being comforted by the Great Immortal Peach God, has now fallen into the latter's arms and cried loudly.
And between the girl in black robe and Xiao Yatatiao——
A similar gloomy look.
There are also two pairs of eye-catching jet black wings growing on the back.
Although their faces could not be seen clearly under the cover of black hoods, the visible part of their skin was pale and bloodless, like white paper.
The girl in black robe in front of me looks like a Yatatiao who is a few sizes too big just from the appearance.
Kamiyagawa: "Yatatori?"
"Um."
The girl in black robe did not deny it, her black hood moved slightly.
She is indeed a Yata bird.
Kamiya already knows that the dream he is currently in is probably just a replay of the recurring events on the day of the "Millennium Celebration" in Chikushi Castle.
The little Yata bird on the river bank a little further away is just a projection in this dream.
The real owner is the one who has grown up in front of me.
Unlike other people in the dream, the aura given to Kamiya River by the big Yata bird feels more tangible.
Then there is reason to suspect that, like the others in Kamiya, she may exist in the form of a "physical body" directly in this dream where reality and fiction overlap.
Considering that the "Millennium Celebration" probably happened tens of millions of years ago.
So the Yata bird, who is a human grass, should have lived for a very long time and has an extremely long lifespan.
This can be verified by the aura of sadness she carries.
Judging from this aura, Kamiyagawa speculated that Yata Bird should be an A-level god.
The energy in Yatagora's body is different from Mary's, but somewhat similar to Ibaraki Doji's.
It is estimated that it has not contained the bones of gods and has transformed into a god purely by relying on the practice and experience over a long period of time.
Kamiyakawa continued to look at the big Yata bird openly, and at the same time said: "The 'soulless dream and phantom body' you are talking about, are you referring to the childhood you over there?"
"Yes." Yata Bird nodded, "There is also the Peach Immortal over there, because he is not actually here, and some other people in the city."
"other?"
"For example, Grandma Huai. There are also the three children around Yuji, excluding Yuji. Their phantom bodies have no souls attached to them. The dream we are in is after the Millennium Celebration of Tsukushi City.
It started in the fifth year. When the dream appeared, Granny Huai had already passed away, and her soul was extradited by me, so she did not come in. As for the other three children..."
Kamiyakawa quickly thought of something: "Last night, those three filthy humanoids possessed by the power of underworld came into the dream from the gap of reality. I defeated them... So, they are those three children?"
"yes."
"So, except you, all the human grass in Tsukushi City have been eroded by the underworld?"
"Except for me and Master Tao Xian. As for the others..." Yata Bird's tone was even darker, but also revealed a deep numbness:
"In fact, they are already dead. They all died in the fifth year after the Millennium Celebration. But they are not really dead, nor are they alive. Their corpses are in the sober reality, infected by the power of the underworld.
Below, they are filthy and rotten. Their dying souls are captured and dragged by this dream. They struggle in endless reincarnations and cannot find relief."
"Yangquan invaded Apokihara, right?"
"……right."
In fact, after knowing that the "Millennium Celebration" in Chikushi Castle was just a dream, Kamiyagawa had already anticipated the situation here.
You must know that according to the course of the real timeline, over a long period of time, the underworld forces had several divine battles with the Gao Tianyuan forces.
They even invaded Haiguo, Santuchuan, Ainu and other places for a time.
The last outbreak occurred at the end of the Heian period, when the Takamagahara side was led by Abe Seimei.
It now appears that in the fifth year after the Millennium Celebration of Chikushi Castle, the underworld forces broke through or bypassed the seal of Senyinshi for the first time, and then launched a direct attack on Apokihara nearby.
This place is too far from Gaotianyuan and too close to Huangquan.
One can imagine what the outcome will be.
Seeing that Yatatori answered all questions, Kamiya simply continued to ask: "Apoqihara is too close to Huangquan, haven't the people here thought about leaving?"
"I've thought about it." Yatagora's tone remained calm, and the syllables slipping out of her lips and teeth seemed to be contaminated with death, "The Great Immortal Peach God governs Apoqihara and wants to lead everyone to escape countless times.
But it can’t be done.”
"On Apoqiyuan, there is a barrier that traps human grass."
The keen Kamiya River can roughly guess the reason why the humans and grass here are unable to leave Apokihara.
"Yes, Izanagi also left a barrier seal here before leaving Apoqihara. He used this place as the second barrier to block the underworld." Yatatori's tone finally wavered.
This matter was only learned about two years after the "Millennium Celebration" actually happened, after the relationship between the Yata Bird and the Great Immortal Peach God became closer.
The kind-hearted Momosen also said that this incident was not Izanagi's fault.
He said that Izanagi blocked Apokihara out of desperation and as an expedient move to further ensure that the restless Huangquan would not cause harm to the world.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for the Great Immortal Peach God, he did not leave with Izanagi.
He originally had the opportunity to leave, but he chose to stay and protect the people here instead of Izanagi.
Moreover, the Great Immortal Peach God always believed that Izanagi would find a way to completely eradicate Huangquan.
Believe that He will come back again to save this place.
I don’t know what experiences the Daisen Peach God had with Izanagi. Perhaps it’s because the Daisen Peach God was really created by Izanagi as recorded in the myth.
In short, what is certain is that He has a paranoid longing for Izanagi that is almost admiration.
But the fact is that Izanagi never came back again.
After living for a long time, Yatatiao can be sure that Apoqihara has been completely abandoned by Takamagahara.
Those high-altitude gods trapped Tsukushi Castle and Hyuga Castle together with the underworld.
They don't care at all about the life and death of the humans here.
Yata Bird: "Outsiders, I have answered all your questions. Now, it's up to me to ask you."
"Yeah, that's reasonable. Just ask."
"Where did you come from, and why did you come to this god-forsaken land?"
"I'm here to find material related to Izanagi. Maybe the Great Immortal Peach God has what I want. As for where I come from, I hope you can calm down first and listen to me - I come from Takamagahara
Come……"
"oh."
The pale knuckles of Yata Bird holding the long-handled scythe were obviously a little tighter.
"It's not the Takamagahara you remember." Kamiya continued to explain while paying attention to Yata bird's behavior:
"You should know that the dreams on Apoqiyuan have lasted for thousands of years, and the outside world has undergone tremendous changes. During such a long period of time, several divine battles broke out between Huangquan and Gao Tianyuan, and the gods were withered.
, even Izanagi has disappeared.”
"And I, in the beginning, was just an ordinary person who inherited the legacy of Takamagahara. The current new Takamagahara was established by me, and has no much connection with the old god Takamagahara. Please understand the Takamagahara that I represent as an emerging force.
.As for the suffering in Apoqiyuan, it was not caused by me."
Kamiyagawa directly expressed his position and cut himself off from Izanagi.
He didn't choose to lie to Yatatori because he felt that this A-level god was someone he could win over.
Maybe I can get her help in escaping from the dream of the Great Immortal Peach God.
If the seeds of lies are planted when there is no trust between the two parties, a huge gap may be created in the future, which is not conducive to the continued development of a good relationship.
Moreover, the new Gaotian that he leads is a new force that is different from the old Gaotian.
Kamiyagawa: "Izanagi abandoned Apokihara. But I am different from those old gods. Now that I am here, I will do my best to save this place."
"But there's nothing left to save here."
Yatatori shook her head. Although her eyes were obscured by the hood, she could feel that she was looking at Kamiyagawa again:
"I can see that your natural lifespan is extremely long, and perhaps it will be even longer in the future than it is now. But the beginning of your life has been very short, as if it only lasted a moment. What happened in Apoqiyuan really has nothing to do with you.
.”
Hearing what Yatatori said, Kamiyagawa felt relieved.
very good!
She is sensible.
Although it looks cold, it is unexpectedly gentle.
This is the truth. Kamiyagawa died after surviving in this world for more than twenty years. Every wrong has its own debtor, and he cannot bear the blame left by the old gods thousands of years ago.
In this way, Kamiya continued to talk to Yata Bird: "You just said, 'a dream and phantom body without a soul'. So, many of the humans here have souls, right? But I didn't see them.
the difference between.”
"All bodies are part of the dream. There is really no difference. However, those with souls will have some reactions because of the appearance of you, an outsider."
"reaction?"
"Yes. You have already come into contact with many people here. Sakura, Oakji, etc. Their souls were originally trapped in dreams, and they would only follow the established route and do exactly the same things day after day. But
When you come into contact with them, they may deviate from their original dream activities."
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"I can't tell. But it's best not to come into contact with this kind of phantom body again."
"Why?"
"Because the more contact they have with beings that are not in dreams, the more likely they are to wake up. They will remember everything, their own death, and the endless cycle of celebrations."
As Yata Bird said this, he turned and looked towards the farther river bank, where the celebration crowd gathered.
"Can you see and hear?" she asked.
Kamiyagawa also looked in that direction.
I saw the crowds gathering together in a bustling manner, and the colorful lights flowing on the river.
I could hear their laughter and laughter flying everywhere in the night wind.
Lively, peaceful and joyful.
What he saw and heard was such a beautiful scene.
However, Yata Bird could not feel the joyful atmosphere in such a festive scene.
She had seen this scene before her countless times, and now she could only feel numbness and sadness.
"All souls trapped in dreams are in pain, with no peace or relief. They are caught in the whirlpool of dream reincarnation, crying hysterically, struggling for help. Even if they are still immersed in sweet dreams, the sounds are getting louder and louder day by day.
Louder every day.”
"If the souls trapped here were fully conscious, they would only suffer more."
"I've tried it many times...many times."
Because of Yatagora's ability and her sensitivity to souls, she can feel more, and she can feel things hidden under the lively and joyful surface that Kamiyagawa cannot appreciate at a glance -
The Apoqi River is dotted with river lanterns, shining brightly into a colorful strip of light.
The Apoqi River faded away and became dim, and the river water rolled into a whirlpool cage that could never be broken out of.
The people are laughing.
The people were crying and begging.
This cycle goes on and on, never ending.
…
Kamiya River looked away from the distant bank.
"You just said that there is no hope of salvation here, right?"
"right."
"But I think there are still people here who can be saved."
"for example?"
"Such as you."
Kamiya felt that it was best to make eye contact with Yata Bird when saying this.
Unfortunately, the brim of the other party's hood is too low, so this simple act of communicating with one's soul cannot be realized.
"You mean...me?"
But Yata Bird was still a little surprised, as his thick black robe swayed slightly in the night wind.
"You are also trapped in a dream, aren't you? In the afternoon, I heard Granny Huai say that the Yata bird will be practiced by the dead and will give the souls the final peace. I can feel that you want to end the dream here.
Reincarnation.”
"You just said that to get out of trouble, right?"
"Maybe so."
Kamiya is still calm and calm in wooing Yata Bird:
"I forgot to mention just now, one of my shikigami is the master of the Santu River in the underworld. You can extradite the souls of the dead, and she controls the underworld. I think you two should talk about it, maybe even the dream reincarnation here
It's over, you two can also give the fallen souls here a destination."
