Chapter 125: Antecedents
About a hundred years ago, a Western passenger ship was shipwrecked and sent to the sea near Sifang City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Something dark happened on this ship, because of the long wandering and the shortage of food, the living relied on the corpses of the dead for their survival.
During this dark and helpless time, some men and women who were in the midst of their physical youth discovered something.
It turns out that in their excesses, those vampire nobles are not the kind of vampire nobles who suck human blood in that sense, but the vampire nobles in the literal sense.
By sucking on human flesh, these people have become more and more pale and sickly, and they have some powers that humans should not have.
As they gain power, these cannibalistic vampires see themselves as Western aristocrats and restrain themselves in the way they remember.
After landing, these vampire nobles were taken to Sifang City by the Onmyoji of Sifang City for questioning.
These vampires became the leaders of the caravans and the intermediaries between the city and the western world, and they were not willing to risk returning to the west, but wanted to obtain the same status as themselves and the servants of the same status, and these people were treated well under the cover of language barriers and Western nobility.
However, it is not only these humans who have turned into vampires on the ship, but also a group of humans who have not gained full power, as well as ordinary people.
These humans did not acquire a handsome appearance, and both men and women were still the same as the previous peasant figures, and the white-skinned, breasted, and slender waist women who had become vampires were fundamentally different people.
The former is mostly middle-aged and elderly, while the latter is not cared about.
The half-finished vampires are seen as evil creatures, and after being safe, the two sides begin a long struggle under the leadership of their respective leaders.
The struggle between the two sides shifted from the ground to the underground, and the losing side was not due to lack of strength, but because the rules of the game were broken and eliminated by the people of Shikata Castle, and the body was suppressed at Honganji.
The more evil things that were suppressed in the temple, the more beneficial it was to practice, and a few decades ago Honganji Temple was a very prosperous temple, not the dilapidated one-person temple it is today, and they had the confidence to do that kind of dangerous thing at that time.
The losing side was the real vampire at the time, and during the period when the vampire leader was sealed, the half-finished products gradually became real vampires by continuing to do the things on the ship and constantly enjoying their own kind from the West.
They continue to draw strength from ordinary people and become nobles in the true sense of the word.
During this time, the vampires also planted oak trees in the West to overcome the constraints imposed on them by the Four Directions.
In this world, it is difficult for species in different regions to survive in other areas, and there is a kind of insect called "soil-producing insects" in some lands.
The insect is muddy in the ground and changes to the shape of smoke on the surface.
Each land has its own unique origin, and the soil will be brought together by the same taste. Because they live together on this land, all plants are parasitic about a small amount of soil, and then insects enter from the mouth, and the animals also parasitize the soil.
Wherever it is, it will be slightly affected by the soil, and once the host leaves the land, it will completely lose its strength and will have to return to the place where it was born.
Also, they are protected for life and excluded from the soil produced elsewhere.
The newborn vampires have become lackeys of the Quadrant City by being bound by the soil, and the oak trees brought back from the west can alleviate the influence of the soil, although only slightly restrained, but there is no better way.
In order to prevent the insect master from discovering that the influence of the soil here has weakened, whenever the insect master comes, these people will make trouble in the area far away from the Sifang City.
After the insect master Gingu appeared in Hananoji Town, they attacked Hanoji Town, trying to leave the insect master there to solve the mystery, but the insect master was chased away by the local guardians......
So they made trouble around, so that the nearby ghost envoys could not take the time to deal with the ghosts, and asked the insect master to gradually move forward in the direction of their trouble, but I don't know why, no big thing happened......
Fortunately, in the end, the person in charge personally went into battle, and it was easy to take the insect master to another place.
Later, the insect master did not approach Sifang City, and he was ready to leave this place.
But he didn't leave long before he came back, and it turned out that the insect master had an troublesome friend here who called the insect master back because of some boring things.
It just so happened that the vampires were about to borrow the power of the Shikigami Three-Tailed Cat of the ancestors of Sifang City to make trouble, and if they wanted to rescue the sealed vampire leader, they needed the power of the original vampire leader.
In order to divert the power of Sifang City, and because they knew about Tian Zhongqiu, these vampires prepared to open the knife in Tian Zhongqiu!
However, a passing SSR planned all the plans with a wave of his hand.
After confirming that there was no danger, a new round of planning began, starting with Tanakaku!
The vampires have a plan, and they have been planning for more than a hundred years.
There is a prophecy on the side of the Quartet, and the prophecy is: Let them toss, it will be good for us.
You're busy with you, I'll take a look and don't speak.
"What a troublesome story." Tian Zhongqiu was very helpless after the ins and outs of the Enma were clarified.
Originally, Tian Chukai saw this series of events as a Western invasion, and even thought that the people of the Haruno family were enemies, but he didn't expect things to be like this.
Kaori said with some regret: "Is there a lack of some people worth talking about?" It's too boring to just say that, but it's much more interesting if there are some strategist samurai who are running around to accomplish this plan. ā
"Yes, but there's no need to say." Enma returns.
Kaori nodded, looked at Tian Zhongqiu and said solemnly: "Sir, eliminating these troubles is just a matter of a knife for Zaixia, and I came to listen to Mr. under the order of Miss, if Mr. has orders, Kaori is duty-bound." ā
If these things are handed over to Kaori to deal with, it's really just a matter of a knife, not to mention anything else, just the two books in Kaori's hands are not something that ordinary youkai can resist.
In addition to the Shikijin Illustrated Guide, Kaori also has the Imperial Soul Illustrated Guide, and the various monsters in the Imperial Soul Illustrated Book are trickier than some of the youkai inside, and these things are all Kaori's collectibles.
Tian Zhongqiu hadn't seen Kaori make a move, so he said with great interest at this time: "Kaori, are you a swordsman?" ā
"No, it's just a sword." As Kaori spoke, she looked at the wooden knife beside her and said with a smile.
"And what do you do when you usually fight youkai?" Tanaka wanted to know what Kaori's profession was, and it didn't look like a shrine maiden.
"It's very simple, it's to use the sword in your hand to cut off the lives of those monsters." Kaori replied calmly and naturally.
"Kaori, how old are you?" Tian Zhongqiu is not envious of each other, nor is he jealous, the gap is too big.
"Six years older than Mr."
Hearing this answer, Tian Zhongqiu was a little incredulous, "In just these years, can you have such a powerful ability?" ā
"Mr. misunderstood, only a small part of the skills in the lower are cultivated in the lower grades, and the rest are the abilities that are only possessed in order to protect the young lady." Kaori didn't know how to explain this to Tian Chuqiu, so she looked at Enma and asked the other party to give Tian Chuqiu an explanation that Tian Chuqiu could understand.
"A brave man who has the power of the gods." Enma was concise and to the point, always able to speak clearly.
Kaori knew that Tian Zhongqiu was under a lot of pressure on Enma, and after Enma finished explaining, she said to Enma, "Lord Enma, please go back." ā
After the disappearance of the Enma, Tian Zhongqiu felt a burst of relief, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he said, "This matter will trouble Kaori you." ā
The battle has nothing to do with Tian Chu, and the battle that Tian Chuo can omit still wants to omit, this kind of thing is a matter of a knife for Kaori.
However, Tanaka remembered that Kagura had said that the next time he went to her, he would die in battle, and it didn't seem like this incident.
In a hundred years of life, Tian Zhongqiu felt that he should be indispensable in the future and would encounter battles, so he didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, and before he died, no one knew if he would encounter battles.
"Yes, I will complete what you have told me as soon as possible, sir." Kaori came over to help Tian Chuqiu deal with some things that Tian Chuqiu couldn't do, and the real thing to do has been dealt with is to talk to Tian Chuchu about some Kagura things.
"By the way, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you for." Tian Zhongqiu temporarily sounded another thing, sat down and put himself in a correct posture, and said solemnly: "Kaori, I want Hanekawa to drink light wine in the insect banquet, do you think it's okay to do this?" ā
"I don't know much about this, but I heard that the insect banquet is the statement of the insect masters, and I don't know the specifics, about the insects, including the next and my master, I don't know much, in this kind of thing, it's not good to express any opinions." Kaori said apologetically.
Tanaka thought that Kaori and Kagura should know everything, but at this time he felt very strange, "Don't you know about insects either?" ā
"We can see a small number of insects, that part of the insects are the insects that the insect master sees, and there is a part of the insects that the insect master can't see, we live here, so the eyes can't see through our own abilities, and only see the world that blends with our rules." Kaori frowned, when it came to explaining those things in detail, Kaori didn't know how to explain them, and couldn't describe the rules in precise words, because the rules were inherently unspeakable.
Enma can say it because she is an Enma, and it is impossible to describe it if she were a human.
"Forget it, about this kind of mysterious thing, I'd better find a professional." Tian Zhongqiu was still ready to invite Yingu to come over to help, but because of Kaori's words, Tian Zhongqiu was still very worried about Hanekawa's affairs, so he said, "Kaori, don't you predict?" Can you help me make a prophecy about Hanekawa and help me predict the future of Hanekawa? ā
I've always heard about prophecy, and now Tian Zhongqiu wants to witness this kind of thing for himself.
At present, only three people are known to know divination, and the prophecies obtained by these three people are correct, so Tian Zhongqiu is superstitious.
In this place, there are strange things everywhere, and only believing in technology is a manifestation of superstition and ignorance.
"Divination takes time, and I am not particularly proficient in divination, but I only understand it by watching and listening more when I follow Miss, so if Mr. really wants to do divination, there is a saying that I must tell Mr. in advance that there is no guarantee that the results of divination will be unchangeable." Kaori very solemnly explained her situation to Tian Zhongqiu, some things can not be 100% certain, especially Tian Zhongqiu's situation is relatively special, and cannot be treated with a general situation.
"I understand this, I'm just trying to feel at ease, if there is anything bad, I can also make preparations in advance, so that I can decide whether to let Hanekawa participate in the insect feast." Tanaka's picture is a peace of mind.
Kaori thought for a moment and asked, "Will anything happen if you participate in the insect feast that Mr. said?" ā
"Yes, according to Yingu, those who drink light wine at the insect feast will become worms."
Worm is a collective term for some strange existences by human beings, and in the eyes of insect masters and mountain masters, the boundaries of insects are very wide, and there is no edge in sight.
"Why be a worm?" Kaori felt that it was a little unnecessary for Tian Qiu to do these things, but maybe the other party had something that he didn't think of, and Kaori was very interested in unknown things, so she also took the initiative to ask at this time.
Why be a bug? There are many answers to this question, and there are reasons for this, in addition to strength.
Tian Zhongqiu thought for a while and said: "The main thing is that I feel that there is a human next to me, the impact on the other party is not good, in fact, to be honest, I can't be called a human anymore, although there is still a human appearance, but I often live with pseudo-kudzu and monsters, and there are some weird powers on my body, and the environment I am in is a light vein area that is very easy to produce monsters and insects, and there is a glowing soul in the ...... of the sleeping place, I don't mean that these things are bad, I actually like the current environment very much, But I also know that I shouldn't be a human before I know it. ā
"I can keep myself because I am special, and although Hanekawa is also a little special, I feel that if she lives with me, it is easy to be affected."
"This influence does not refer to personality and cognition, I have a lot of confidence in Hanekawa, Hanekawa has a very strong willpower, I don't need to worry, I am mainly worried about Hanekawa's physical condition."
"The power around me is all power that is beneficial to youkai, and I don't think this power is a good thing for Hanekawa, and I want to provide Hanekawa with a good body so that it can always be with me."
