After passing through the dark crack passage, the surrounding space began to twist and turbulent. After a while, it returned to calm.
Kamiyagawa felt the hot sunlight shining directly on his face, which was a little dazzling.
Obviously, he had successfully left Takamagahara and arrived at the hidden area corresponding to the dark crevice passage.
He quickly narrowed his eyes and began to look around.
This hidden area is different from what we expected. At first glance, we don’t feel that there is any danger.
At this time, the Kamiya River is in a dense mountain forest. Within sight, tall trees stand tall and tall, with intertwined branches and leaves intertwined into a huge green network. High-altitude sunlight shines through the dense canopy of trees, casting variegated light and shadow.
Like fine golden satin, gently spreading and swaying on the moist land.
The air is filled with the fresh smell of earth and leaves.
"There's some sunshine here."
In the ordinary world, there will occasionally be areas that are more "on earth". For example, in Iyo Matsuyama, which is now controlled by the forces of Kamiya, the environment is not much different from here.
Of course, there are still essential differences between the new Yinri area and Iyo Matsuyama.
In this dense mountain forest, within the visual range of the Divine Valley, you can see the outlines of many abandoned buildings.
Pale broken walls are scattered irregularly among the vast greenery, like the broken bones of a giant, half covered by mud and half exposed in the forest.
Some are still standing, while others are leaning over. Traces of wind and rain erosion along with cracks and moss cover the ruins of these buildings.
Obviously, there was once a gathering of intelligent creatures in this place, and it was quite large.
Kamiya continued to observe the surroundings, and he could hear the chirping of birds and the long chirping of cicadas resounding deep in the forest.
"Are there any birds in this place?"
In some special areas in the ordinary world, there are creatures other than monsters and ghosts.
For example, there are fishes in the country of the sea.
Although the fish in the sea kingdom look completely different from the fish in reality, those fish cannot be classified as "monsters".
The fish in the Sea Kingdom are currently being exploited as "luxury" food resources by the forces of Shingatahara.
"If there are indeed non-youkai birds in this new hidden area, they should also be developed into food resources. It will just enrich the food types for the people of Gaotian Kaitan, which is good."
After all, Kamiyagawa is the leader of the New High Amahara forces, and he never forgets to conduct resource surveys wherever he goes.
And he also considerately cares about whether his people are eating well.
He really...
Please say thank you, Lord Kamiya.
Although the monsters under Kamiyagawa's rule do not have much dietary needs, according to the research reports submitted by Ishime in the past, the sales of drinks and food as "non-essential luxuries" at Paradise Market have always been very good.
of.
If we can further expand the types of food, it should be no problem to increase the total consumption within some forces.
Consumption is the endogenous driving force for economic growth!
As a leader, Kamiyagawa certainly hopes that the Kaitan people in Takamagahara should work hard and create value during working hours; and spend money and consume products during off-duty time.
Only in this way can the economy within the power operate smoothly!
"Where are we?"
While Kamiya was still looking at the surrounding environment with great interest, Yata bird's toneless voice sounded from behind him.
After pinching the last ball of [Xunyin Peach Blossom], the black crevice passage was officially fixed on Takamagahara.
Of course, the "free combat power" Yatadori who accepted the request can also follow through the passage.
"Here..."
Kamiya took out his cell phone.
Just like entering the other two Hidden Areas, "Kaitan Monogatari" points out the current location——
[The special map has been opened, Yinli·Fengweiyuan·Thousands of Autumns and Five Hundred Autumns·Shui Sui Country!]
It simply announced the name of the location, but did not give a task delegation.
"Kaitan Monogatari" is probably really running out of things to do.
"It seems that we have arrived at Weiyuan." Considering that Yata Bird, who has been trapped in the dream of the Great Peach Immortal God for a long time, may not have a special understanding of the development of myths in later generations, Kamiyagawa added an additional sentence, "The Kingdom of the Land."
Fengweiyuan·Thousands of Autumns Last Five Hundred Autumns·Shuisui Country.
This very long and difficult-to-pronounce name is the full name of the "lower realm of Weiyuan" where the God of Kunitsu and all kinds of human grass once lived.
However, in a broad sense, "Ashihara Lower Realm" should include the entire Japan in the present world, as well as most of the permanent areas. The current area obviously does not have such a broad meaning.
Kamiya estimates that this Yinli area is likely to be the core territory of the Kingdom of God built by the former great king, similar to the location of the capital.
Let's pick out the characters from the full name and call this place "Mizuho Country".
This will facilitate conceptual differentiation during subsequent internal communications.
"The last hidden area connected to Takamagahara is Ashihara Mizuho Country... This is really a place where people won't have too many surprises." Kamiyagawa thought this way.
Yes.
Even though he knew his current location, he didn't feel surprised at all.
Referring to the myth, this is the core area for the "national creation" of the great king, and it is also the main stage for the "national concession" in the subsequent "The Arrival of the Heavenly Son" event.
The Great Lord, who symbolizes civilization and enlightenment, and two famous martial gods - Takemikata God and Takemori God, all left mythical deeds here.
In the event of "The Arrival of the Heavenly Son", Amaterasu, the great god who coveted Awebara, sent the "Kenyu Raijin", one of the strongest representatives of force among the Tianjin gods, to the lower realm to subjugate Awebara.
This move met with strong resistance from the strongest god of war among the Kunitsu gods, "Tengo Naokagami".
A deadly fight broke out between the two warrior gods in heaven and earth.
The ending ended with Jianyu Lei Shen winning, Weiyuan completely surrendering to Gao Tianyuan, and accepting the subsequent descendant "Qiong Qiongchu Zun" to take over the rule.
Such a major mythical event happened. Even if the current Shuisui Country is just a ruin, it must be full of dangers deep inside.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But at this point, Kamiya felt a little confused again.
Speaking of which, there are three hidden worlds connected to Takamagahara, and the latter two have enough cards. The Kingdom of the Sea, one of the divine residences, and the land god kingdom Awehara and Mizuho. They are connected to Takamagahara as if it were natural.
Can't fault anything.
But, why is Fu Sangxiang connected to Gao Tianyuan?
That "Gensokyo" where the weak fusangjins gather is pretty ordinary no matter how you think about it, right?
It always feels weird...
This doubt could not be answered for the time being, so Kamiyagawa focused his attention on his eyes again.
In their current "point of origin", the existence of the god can be seen.
Just like the situation in Fu Sangxiang and Sea Country.
This is good. At least I have something to rely on when exploring Ashihara Mizuho Country.
"Yatadori, we have to explore this place." Kamiya said this, and took out a Takamagahara pass token and handed it to Yatagata, "If you encounter a situation where you have to retreat, you must use the Kamiguchi and Takamagahara pass token in time.
The cards leave here. What to do specifically, you have already tried it before."
The authority of the Aragami of Kamiya River is "Lord of the World". If the great king who symbolizes civilization and enlightenment has any legacy left in Mizuho Country, it will be very suitable for his personal reinforcement.
As for Jian Yu Lei Shen.
This god is the god of thunder, the god of swords, and one of the four gods who once held the Ten Obi Yubara.
It is impossible to say that Kamiyagawa is not interested in Takemikado Raijin.
However, according to mythology, Takemikan Raijin won the victory in Weihara, completed the mission assigned by Amaterasu, and then returned to Takamagahara.
The chances of finding His legacy here are relatively slim.
"As you wish."
The Dark Goddess who extradited the deceased raised her hand to take the pass token from Takamagahara, and gave a concise and concise reply to Kamiyagawa.
After that, she still stood there holding the scythe in the cold light, with the black hood covering her face so that no expression could be seen clearly. The solemn robe covered her graceful figure. There was no wind, but it made people feel
The visual impression is not gentle, but as heavy as a silent grave.
…
Summoning a little old man to lead the way to explore the Shuisui Country, Kamiyagawa and Yatatori followed closely behind.
There is no real road under your feet. There are piles of fallen leaves, stones and soil in the mountain forest. From time to time, there are unexpected tree roots and slimy moss. It is uneven and difficult for ordinary people to walk, but the whole line of the Divine Valley is like this.
Walking on flat ground, very calm.
Even considering that Yatagata only knew a little about the myths and legends of later generations, Kamiya paid attention to the surrounding situation while rushing on the road, and at one time or another, he talked to Yatagata about the popular science content about the myths of Mizuho Country, Ashihara.
While helping Yatagata understand the situation here, he is also briefly sorting out the mythological knowledge he knows.
"...In this way, Tiansun Qiongqiongjuzun took over the position of the Lord of the Kingdom and became the ruler of the lower realm of Weiyuan. He was also the spokesperson of the Gao Tianyuan forces led by Amaterasu in the lower realm at that time."
"And in my impression, Qiongqiongchuzun is the first god to die naturally in mythology. He died at the end of his life. After his death, his descendants..."
Among the gods of Takamagahara, Yatatori is the sober-minded and taciturn type.
Staying with her is a little boring.
But it was still obvious that she was listening to the Kamiyagawa science popularization very seriously along the way.
When he heard this, even the taciturn Yatatori couldn't help but ask: "A god who died naturally? Since he is a god, why did he die naturally?"
"Well, there are many opinions on this within the folklore community, and they all have different opinions. According to the professor teaching in Dongdali, this part symbolically represents the transformation of 'from god to human'. Qiongqiongchuzun
Obtaining the kingdom of God means that He changed from a god to a human being. The era of gods is coming to an end, and the illusory myths and legends are beginning to show initial signs of connecting with actual human history. Myths are transitioning to history."
"But, this is wrong." Yata Bird shook his head.
"Well, this is just the interpretation of myths by human society. Treat myths as symbolic historical biography and culture in the development process of human civilization, and connect them with history. Of course, if gods really exist, this perspective of interpreting myths
That’s not very accurate.”
"So? Why did Qiongqiongchuzun die of natural causes?"
Yatatori continued to ask.
Very good, very inquiring spirit.
"Myths are human records after all, and there may be considerable discrepancies between them and the facts. Maybe Qiongqiongchu Zun is not dead at all. Of course, it is also possible. This is just my personal opinion... Maybe Qiongqiongchuzun's divinity is far away.
Not as good as the Great Lord. Replacing the Great Lord and becoming the godhead of the entire Weiyuan will bring great losses to Qiongqiongchuzun. Maybe he did not die of natural causes, but died of such accumulated consumption over time."
"In this way, it can indeed be explained."
As for Kamiya's personal explanation, Yatatori seems to be more accepting of it.
This magical bird girl is still the same as when we first met her. Although she is clear-headed, she also looks a bit... dull due to her rigidity?
Kamiyagawa continued to tell the myth of the Mizuho Kingdom: "After the death of Qiongqiong Chuzun, his heirs took over Weiyuan. Like Qiongqiong Chuzun, the subsequent lords of Weiyuan Kingdom also suffered from illness and death, and they were probably the inherited divine generation.
Not as good as a generation ago.”
"Until Hikobashi Shomu, the leader of Weiyuan Kingdom married Yu Yiyuan and gave birth to Emperor Jinmu. Emperor Jinmu is regarded as the first person to establish the first generation of Yamato dynasty. Oh, speaking of it, in mythology
In the story, the establishment of the Yamato Imperial Court has something to do with you, Yatagora."
"Is it related to me?" Yata bird was confused again.
Kamiya's curiosity was aroused several times, intentionally or unintentionally, and she talked a lot more.
Isn’t this boring?
"Yes. It is said that Emperor Kammu established the Yamato court under the guidance of Yatagata." Kamiyagawa further explained.
Yata Bird paused in her steps and raised her head slightly. Although her expression was still invisible, she seemed to be thinking seriously about something. After being so blank for a few seconds, she shook her head solemnly: "I have never guided any divine martial arts.
Emperor."
"I know you didn't."
Kamiyagawa shrugged.
You have not always been trapped in the dream of the Great Peach Fairy God, and I have seen all your experiences from childhood to adulthood in that dream.
It’s like watching you grow up.
Not to mention, you eventually got out of trouble with me.
"As I said again, myths are not facts. There are many fabrications, rumors or beautifications in them. Perhaps Emperor Jimmu left such a legend about the guidance of the goddess just to enhance the legitimacy of his rule."
"It's also possible that he was guided by other Yata birds? If there were other Yata birds in this world."
"It's also possible."
"Abba! Abba!"
While Kamiya and Yatatori were talking, the little old man in front suddenly gave a warning.
Kamiyagawa could understand the meaning of the scout's shouts.
The current situation is not that some enemy has appeared.
But a little far ahead, the little old man sensed something noteworthy.
