"Grandpa, who are these three people, why haven't I heard of them?"

Mai Katsuhei took a breath, "The story starts more than five thousand years ago......

Legend has it that a powerful race descended on the earth where we live, and this race was called the Old Gods.

The ancient gods were generous and kind, they descended on the Nine Shadows Continent, and later integrated into the mortal world, making the mortal world civilized.

Later, the race vanished, as they had become completely fused with the human bloodline.

At that time, there were two kinds of exercises circulating on the Nine Shadows Continent, one was called the Immortal Method, and the other was called the Demon Technique. Immortal cultivators improve slowly, but their minds are clear, while demon cultivators improve extremely quickly, but they often go mad.

It wasn't until Jiuyou came to the era ruled by the Yellow Emperor that things changed. The Yellow Emperor forbade the tribes to practice demonic skills so as not to bring disaster to the people.

He fought everywhere and killed the great demon at that time, Chiyou, with the Xuanyuan Sword.

From then on, on the Nine Shadows Continent, everyone who cultivated demons was in danger. Among them, there is a tribe called "Sun and Moon Tribe", and the patriarch Di Jun has two wives, Xi He and Chang Xi.

Emperor Jun realized the truth of the change of yin and yang from the ancient god Fuxi, and he himself created two sets of exercises that complement each other, and they are commensurate with the sun and the moon.

According to legend, Xi and Xiu Ri are the "Mother of the Sun", and Chang Xi Xiu Yue is the "Moon Mother", but the Moon Cultivator is actually a demon cultivator. For the sake of the safety of the tribe, Di Jun collectively moved to the east of Jiuyou, which is here.

Di Jun himself is a cultivator of the sun and the moon, and he teaches immortal magic skills here.

The story of the three noble sons is actually representative of the three major schools of practice. Amaterasu represents the sun cultivators, with the sun as the totem, and our national flag is also a "sun", while the moon cultivators naturally use the moon as a totem, and the moon reading represents this genre.

Susanoo is a double cultivator, and he is also the most powerful of the three.

Among the common people, there are very few people who can achieve double cultivation, and there is such a person as Susanoo in history, and he is also the most talented person.

He was ostracized by the Sun and the Moon, and was eventually banished to the seaside, where he lived alone.

One day, he noticed a pair of chopsticks floating from the sea.

Susanoo realizes that there are other people living by the sea. He searched in the direction where the chopsticks were floating, and finally, he saw an old couple who were crying around a girl.

Susanoo stepped forward to ask, and only then did he know that the two old men had eight daughters. However, every year they have to be eaten by the eight big snakes, and now, seeing that it is the turn of the last, the old couple and their daughter are so anxious that they can't stop crying.

The Great Snake is a demon with eyes like red lanterns, eight heads and eight tails, and a body length of more than eight valleys.

The daughter of the old couple is called Ki Inada Hime, and she is a beautiful woman. Susanoo was impressed by the beauty of Ki Inadahime. After receiving the promise of marrying Ki Inadahime, Susanoo is determined to subdue the Great Snake and eliminate the harm of the people.

He asked the old couple to make eight gates out of a fence and place eight barrels of liquor in front of the gate to seduce the snake.

When the wine was arranged, he opened the lid of the barrel, and in a few moments, the Eight Snakes came. When its eight heads had drunk all the fragrant wine, it lay drunk on the ground.

Susanoo took the opportunity to draw his iron sword and wanted to kill the Yaki Orochi. However, he found that the snake's skin was as hard as steel, and the iron sword had been broken, but it still could not leave any traces on the snake's skin.

Only then did Susanoo realize that the Yaki Orochi might bring disaster to the world. Even if it was so powerful, it still couldn't hurt it in the slightest, and if it crawled inland, it would be a mess.

Susanoo thought of Emperor Jun, who taught the world the method of cultivation, maybe only a god could kill the Yaqi Orochi.

He finally found Dijun, who was in his twilight years, and told him about the situation of the Yaqi Orochi.

The three of them followed Susanoo to the beach and saw the Yaki Orochi.

The moment they saw the serpent, a monstrous hatred rose in the hearts of the three gods. Emperor Jun tells Susanoo that the great snake is an enemy outside the sky, the greatest enemy of the ancient gods.

Moreover, looking at the appearance of the big snake, it is almost to the point of ascending, presumably it is going to lie dormant here and secretly fly to the heavenly realm.

Emperor Jun tells Susanoo that he will turn into a sword and let him use it to slay the Yaki Orochi. And Xihe will turn into a mirror to fix the body of the big snake, and Chang Xi will turn into a piece of jade to fix the soul of the big snake, so that it will be foolproof.

Susanoo did as Emperor Jun instructed, only to see that the three of them emitted endless brilliance, and finally turned into three weapons.

The mirror shone on the Yaqi Orochi from a distance, and the Orochi really didn't move. And when the crescent-shaped jade was suspended on the top of the big snake's head, the big snake's eyes also became dull.

Without a moment's hesitation, Susanoo picked up his sword and cut off eight heads of the serpent.

Yaki Orochi is dead, but Susanoo discovers that the three of them have never changed back into human form. Only then did he realize that the three gods were dead.

Susanoo was so sad that he built an ancestral hall for the three gods, preserved their "remains", and worshipped them for generations.

In order to prevent outsiders from coveting these three artifacts, he did not write the names of the gods on the spirit tablets. Instead, a sun, a moon, and a sword were drawn.

Later, Susanoo married Ki Inadahime, and they went incognito, and their descendants changed their surnames to 'Mai'......"

After Mai Katsuhei finished telling this story, Mai Miku on the side was already dumbfounded, and she stared at the three spirit cards on the top for a long time and couldn't talk to herself.

"But, grandpa, what does this story have to do with me?"

Mai Katsuhei continued: "The three boxes behind the spirit tablets are three 'empty boxes', and Susanoo told future generations that only those who cultivate the sun and the moon can master these three artifacts. My people have never understood what the dual cultivation of the sun and the moon means, and whenever they open the three boxes, they can't see anything inside, but they can really feel that there are three items inside.

It wasn't until today that I saw your strength that I understood that maybe this was the so-called dual cultivation of the sun and the moon. You said that you have awakened, and I think that this awakening should be the blood of the ancestors.

Over the years, I have traveled around the world, and I have seen some connections in the myths and histories of various countries. The identities of Izanagi and Izanami are very similar to Fuxi and Nuwa of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. I speculate that this is also the original Emperor Jun's desire to spread the story of the ancient gods to us.

Jiuyou is a magical country, and I was looking for the story of Di Jun there, but I could only see some of them from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The ancient mythology of the Nine Shadows is full of three emperors and five emperors, but there is little mention of Emperor Jun.

Later, I went to Western countries and found that their myths and stories are also full of light and darkness. All the stories seem to start with the gods and then describe how the gods created humanity.

And now, I already have a guess. At the beginning, the ancient gods wanted to spread the culture of the gods to the world, so all countries had similar myths and stories, and the ancient gods were divided into black and white. For so many years, it has been the bright side that has led the world, and even the Japanese flag has the sun painted on it. It's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong in this black-and-white dispute, maybe only when the real enemy appears, will everyone be united!"

Mai Miku heard this, and suddenly thought of the "doomsday" that Ji Tianci said.

Could there really be any enemies?

"Grandpa, I want to see those three artifacts. ”
