"These are illusions, not real people. It is the use of a certain power to preserve what really happened in the past at a certain time in the form of images, and then play it on a loop. To put it simply, it is similar to a play on the stage. It's just that you don't need to use real people to act. ”

Cheng Li withdrew his palm from the phantom of one of the girls. Then, with great certainty, he spoke his judgment. In fact, to put it more simply, these girls are actually "holograms". In the research institute where Cheng Li grew up, this is just a very simple technology, and no one will make a fuss about it.

Of course, due to the different levels of scientific and technological development. So in this world, holographic image technology is still unimaginable technology. If it were an ordinary fool and a foolish woman, it would inevitably be thought that it was some kind of immortal spell, and he had already knelt down and bowed his head feverishly.

Limited to the growth environment, the Demon Saint Horror naturally has never seen any holographic image technology. But surely he will not be in awe of these foolish men and women, or even worship them because of it.

After listening to Cheng Li's explanation, although the Demon Saint still felt unimaginable, it was not incomprehensible. He nodded and said, "Although the original spirit can detect the right path, unless you are really there, then it is really difficult to tell whether these girls are real illusions." ”

After a pause, the Demon Saint looked carefully at the phantoms of those girls again, and said in a condensed voice: "Hmm...... Judging by the clothes of these young girls, they should belong to the era that was not officially established a long time ago, when the Fuso Yamato Imperial Court had not yet been officially established. Legend has it that the Three Artifacts were born in this era. ”

Cheng Li said thoughtfully: "We don't know who it is that arranges this place like this. However, the reason why the environment of the past has been preserved here must be of great significance. Keep going and explore a little more. ”

The Demon Saint said, "Okay." When I entered this place just now, I vaguely noticed that there was a village in the northeast. Let's go over there. ”

Cheng Li naturally had no objection. At that moment, the two walked side by side, walking briskly to the northeast. However, after half a pillar of incense, they had already arrived at the village they had found before.

It's a very simple, very simple village. There is almost no difference from the Fuso villages that can be seen everywhere in reality. If anything, in the middle of the village, an old couple is sitting on the ground with a young woman in their arms and crying. The girl, on the contrary, was quite calm, and in turn comforted the old couple softly. It seems that they should be a relationship between parents and daughters.

The old couple and the girl's family of three spoke Fusang, of course. But it is still different from the Fusang language that is commonly used today, and it sounds more accented and obscure. Not to mention that Cheng Li didn't understand, even the Demon Sage, who had already mastered the Fusang language, had to frown, listen attentively, and finally half-understand and half-guess, before listening to the conversation of this family of three.

"Hmm...... The two old couples are indeed the parents of this woman. The woman's name was Ki Inada Hime, and she had seven other sisters. But there's a monster around here, called Yaki. This monster eats a woman every year. So I ate and ate, and now there is only one Qi Rice Field Ji left. It's now the eighth year, and Yachi is going to eat the last strange rice field Ji again. So they're crying. ”

Cheng Li was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "This thing sounds, why is it so familiar......?" Ah, by the way, isn't this the origin of the first of the three artifacts in Fuso mythology, the Kusanagi Sword?"

The Demon Saint said in a condensed voice, "Not bad. According to mythology, it wasn't long before a samurai heard the cry and asked the old couple what was going on.

This samurai, named Susazun, was the younger brother of Amaterasu, who ruled Takamagahara, and was expelled by Amaterasu because of his wanton misdeeds that disturbed the peace of Takamagahara, and he could only live in the mortal world.

Susazun, who wanders everywhere, happens to meet the family of Qi Rice Field. Because he was attracted by the beauty of Ki Inadahime, Susazun took a righteous action and killed the monster Yaki. Then in Yachi's corpse, a divine sword was found, and that was the Kusanagi sword. Susazun presented the Kusanagi sword to Amaterasu, and then Amaterasu gave the Kusanagi sword together with the eight-foot Qiong Gotama and the Yagashi Mirror, and gave it to Emperor Jimmu, the first ancestor of the Fuso Imperial Family, and became the three artifacts that symbolized the power of the Fuso Emperor. ”

Cheng Li said thoughtfully: "After all, myths are just myths, and there are a lot of fictional elements mixed in them, so they can't be completely taken seriously. But there must be a deep meaning to this scene here. We might as well wait and see what gets better. ”

The Demon Saint also agreed. The two of them didn't step forward, just stood quietly aside, waiting patiently. Fortunately, they don't have to wait too long. At most, after a stick of incense, a dusty warrior strode over. At the waist of this samurai, he also wore a sword with a very simple shape.

According to Fuso mythology, this sword is also an extraordinary thing, and it is said that it was forged by the father of the Fuso gods, "Izanagi". It's called "Ten Fist Sword". When Izanami, the mother of the gods, gave birth to the god of fire, she was burned to death by the fire of the god of fire. The Father of the Gods was furious and swung his ten-fist sword and slew the god of fire.

After that, the father of the gods went to the land of Yellow Springs to question the mother of the gods, holding a ten-fist sword in his hand. But because the shape of the Mother of the Gods after her death was so terrifying, the father of the gods was frightened and fled immediately. Finally, the two husbands and wives broke up completely.

After returning to the earthly world, the Father of the Gods cleansed his body in the river water in order to remove the impurities from his body. The father of the gods cleansed his left eye and gave birth to Amaterasu, who represents the sun. The right eye was cleaned, and the moon reading representing the moon was born. Finally, the nose is cleaned, and Susason, who represents the sea, is born. The "Ten Fist Sword" of the Father of the Gods was given to Susazun from then on.

As if a myth and legend were reappearing before his eyes, Susazun heard the cry and went to inquire about it. The old couple then told them all about their troubles. Susazun saw the beauty of Ki Inadahime and was impressed. He made a request that if he surrendered to Yachi, he would marry Ki Inada Ji to him. The old couple actually had no choice at all, so they had to agree.

So Susazun asked the old couple and the Kipada family to hide, and he prepared eight barrels of spirits, put them in the open space in the village, and then hid them in the shadows and waited quietly.

Before you know it, night falls, and the earth goes dark. At this moment, a strong and fishy wind suddenly blew, whistling and roaring, covering the sky and making people shudder.

The earth rumbled and shook, and it was getting closer. In the depths of the night, there were even more blazing red dots like lanterns. Immediately afterward, a huge monster like a mountain, dragging eight long tails and eight vicious heads at the same time, creeped in the darkness. The so-called blazing red dots are the sixteen eyes on the eight heads of this monster!

Witnessing such a huge monster with his own eyes, in an instant, Cheng Li and the Demon Saint, who were standing on the side and truly watching from the wall, suddenly felt a tremor all over their bodies. The two looked at each other and blurted out, "This is not right! This is not a simple illusion." The Great Snake ...... It's true, right here!"
