Chapter 2: The Evil God of Rebellion
Thinking of a rotting corpse buried under his bed, Fujiwara Ki's face became worse and worse, and in order not to let Ah Qiu see his discomfort, he drank a few sips of tea in a row, and the light aroma circulated on the tip of his tongue before he expelled the disgusting feeling in his mind.
Shaking his head, Fujiwara asked, "Didn't Miss Aqiu say that those youkai didn't disappear?" β
"Well, there are a lot of things involved, so I'll mention the most critical ones. β
"Mr. Fujiwara, how do you think youkai were born?"
"I don't know the specifics, but it seems that there are more mountain spirits, last time I heard Huiyin in the human world, they said, the birth of monsters is due to legends, like tengu These monsters, in ancient mythology, began to circulate, because they are remembered and feared, because of the condensation of too many beliefs, it will reflect the monster with this name. β
"It's worthy of Teacher Huiyin. Ah Qiu admired, the identity of Huiyin's teacher Bai Ze, the divine beast, she can be said to be a knowledgeable scholar who corrects history, and she will naturally have an understanding of some wild history.
"Teacher Huiyin, they are indeed right, many ancient monsters, such as the ancient monsters of the hundred ghosts at night, were basically born at that time. β
Ah Qiu nodded, and Fujiwara continued: "But there are others, such as vampires and undead, these may be due to some changes in the physique due to the first embrace or obsession before death, similar to some orcs and long-lived tree spirits, which may be produced by some conditions of the day after tomorrow." β
"What Mr. Fujiwara said is basically the same, but have you ever considered that it is some human factors, such as Zashiki Boy. β
"Are you saying that because you can't afford to raise your children, you run them to death under a stone mill, and when the bodies are found, you borrow the legend of Zashiki Boy to exonerate yourself?"
"Do you know these dirty things?" Ah Qiu's expression was a little reluctant, "these superstitious practices are still being practiced by people today, and although the barnyard family is trying to separate the legend of Zashiki Boy from this bad custom, some tragedies are still unavoidable. β
It turns out that the book of the barnyard family compiling yokai also has these noble meanings, and Fujiwara Ki can't help but be in awe of this kind girl. Compared with Ah Qiu, he is too selfish to be alone.
"Still don't talk about this unpleasant thing. Ah Qiu squeezed out a heavy smile at Fujiwara Nori, and pretended to be relaxed, "But nowadays outsiders often bring some advanced ideas, and the world has slowly learned new ideas, at least now it is much better than before, so life is always developing in a good direction." β
"Just talking about the existence of youkai, to put it simply, before the opening of the Boli Great Enchantment, these youkai will naturally disappear if they are forgotten, but in Gensokyo, as long as the youkai are still conscious, they will not die again, only those youkai who deny their own value, will not even be able to maintain their form because of disqualification. β
"And what about the corpses of those youkai?"
If these youkai don't disappear so easily, where did these corpses come from?
"Mr. Fujiwara, have you heard that rumor lately?" Miss Aqiu buried her head, purple bangs covering her eyes, and her voice was soft, like an ethereal ghost wandering in her ears.
"Miss Aqiu, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel like something big is going to happen, and I feel powerless about myself who has nothing to do. β
"What the hell is going on?" Fujiwara slammed the table, and the muffled sound of the tuk made the glass ripple slightly.
"You really don't hear what's going on outside the window. Ah Qiu sighed, "After the corpses of the monsters appeared, a legend of the god Hizu Ayaya began to appear in the world. β
At the mention of the Hijin Aya God, Ah Qiu showed a contemptuous smile: "I am afraid that it is not an orthodox god who is so eager to promote his own existence." β
"Among the ancient gods, the god of calamity is the god of goodness, the desolate soul under Susanoo, and the god Naobi is the soul of Amaterasu, and the so-called Oya and the great calamity are both gods made of the filth of the world, so the direct name is not to tell people that he is the existence of the god of the gods. β
"Does this have anything to do with the god? But how did the monster's corpse come about? β
Isn't there a rule set by Yakumo Purple in the human world, and youkai are not allowed to harm people in the human world, but there is no such restriction outside, so under normal circumstances, there will be no monsters in the human world.
"This matter is a little strange because of this, and that realm monster didn't make any reminders to me, so this matter should not be within the scope of her constraints. Ah Qiu clutched the cup, obviously a little angry, "If the monster sage can't restrain it, then this troublemaker is not a monster, but a real god." β
"Gods?"
When Fujiwara Ki heard this word, what came to mind was the more famous gods such as Amaterasu and Uga's Imperial Soul, but the Japanese god of calamity didn't know much, and he only had a slight impression of the god of calamity.
Shouldn't these gods just be stored in legends? Now Gensokyo only has a shrine called Hakuri, and it is not even clear whether the gods in it exist or not, and the other gods should not have disappeared into this land before Gensokyo was established.
The things that can be hidden in Gensokyo are forgotten or disappeared in the outside world, just like the crested ibis, which has become extinct in the outside world, and has only appeared in large numbers in Gensokyo in recent years.
But this is indeed a fact, there is a god of calamity in the world, and a god in anger, and now the villagers want to atone for their sins, and begin to worship the god who only knows the name, and even his grace is not clear, if it is a cautious god, this is just fueling his strength, and in the end, Cheng DΓΉ will be more ruthless. β
"Is this already a mess? How many people have corpses in their homes besides me?"
"Well, from what is known, it seems that 14 families have found the corpses of these monsters, and although the barnyard family has some prestige in the world, it can't interfere with all of them. Ah Qiu recalled the news he heard recently, "These are all bodies that have been found, and there are many that have not been found, and I don't know where to hide, after all, the guard is the old man's business, and I don't know very well." β
"And who's in charge of this?"
It's better to know that someone is responsible than to track it down yourself.
"It was originally handed over to the guards, but their ability is no longer enough to deal with it, so Mei Hong is in charge of this matter. β
"Fujiwara sister red?"
A girl, although she is from Penglai, let that girl who looks a little childish deal with these filth, can any of the men in Gensokyo beat him?
Fujiwara seems to have himself included.
