The Yaki Orochi is a giant snake in Japanese mythology. According to www.biquge.info the "Kojiki" and the "Nihon Shoki", the Yaki Orochi is described as a giant monster with eight heads and eight tails.

So the whole body is divided into eight forks, which is the origin of the name.

It is also recorded that the eight-fold snake is the Xiangliu in Chinese legends.

The nine-headed Xiangyanagihara, because after being cut off by the gods with a sword, is also eight-headed, and the same as the Eight Snakes, the similarity between the two is extremely high, and it is believed that the Eight Snakes are the Chinese legends of Xiang Liu, a variant after being spread to Japan.

Coupled with the confusion about the origins of the Japanese race, Zheng Hao believes that the latter theory is extremely credible, because he found an unformed snake head in the middle of eight complete snake heads.

Each of the eight complete snake heads is two stories tall and has fine scales and rows of bone spurs, while the unformed head has no scales and only a membrane of flesh.

It seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and gray mist erupted from the nostrils covering the scale armor, Zheng Hao stared at the slightly trembling flesh membrane, and it was a little difficult to choose for a while.

This is an ancient creature that has been inherited from ancient times, and it is a true divine beast-level existence, and there must be rare treasures in its body.

Zheng Hao hadn't gathered the Five Elements Origin Crystals yet, and if he rashly hunted the Baqi Snake, it was so huge that it would be difficult to kill it with one blow.

In case Zheng Hao is trapped in this strange space, many variables will have to be added.

"It's a pity to go back empty-handed in Baoshan."

In the face of the mountain-like beast, Zheng Hao was not sure of victory, and decided to spare its life for the time being.

Zheng Hao entered this strange space and consumed thirteen yuan of consciousness energy, and when he went out, he had to consume the same amount of consciousness energy, even if the scavenged fire crystal contained more than thirteen thousand crystal energy.

Zheng Hao felt that he was still a little loss.

There was no benefit to take, Zheng Hao planned to go out and scavenge some more fire crystals to fill the storage space.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a gap cracked silently behind Zheng Hao, and a flash of silver light pierced his chest.

Mosses and vines crowd the bluestone-paved mountain road, which is lined with frenzied cedar trees that turn the road into a tunnel.

The giant wooden tunnel was dimly lit, and knee-deep moss, vines, and vegetation gave rise to countless large insects and crustaceans, many of which were highly poisonous.

The old monk with a thin face and short stature was dressed in a sackcloth monk's robe, walking slowly from the mountain path, his clogs fell, and the alienated insects around him took refuge.

At the end of the giant wood tunnel, the mahogany archway is also occupied by vines that snake like snakes, and it is impossible to see its original face.

Behind the archway, there is the place where the old monks practice, Asama Shrine.

In the past, the shrine was full of tourists and monks, and it was overgrown with weeds and like ruins.

Since the change of the blood moon, the monks in the shrine have withdrawn to Tokyo City, leaving the old monk alone to hold on, but today people have come one after another.

"Uncle Tai, Leren has been waiting for a long time."

The old monk raised his eyelids, and his gaze fell on the silver-white hilt of the sword on the waist of Le Ren, who was dressed in traditional Japanese clothes, and a dry voice sounded.

"You've finally taken this step, and you'll regret it."

Emperor Mingjie's younger brother, Prince Rakuhito, took out an object from his bosom and showed it, and he said confidently: "As a descendant of Amaterasu, Rakuhito has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

In Le Ren's hand is a piece of strange-shaped jade, which is crystal clear, like a crescent moon.

Prince Rakuhito is the commander of the new Tokyo City Defense and has a high position, and he appeared alone at Mt. Fuji Asama Shrine, starting from Zheng Hao's departure from the palace.

Yuzo Miyamoto returned to his home near the palace, where he locked himself in his room, tears streaming down his eyes.

Yuzo Miyamoto looked at the photos on the wall, as if he saw the earnest expressions of his father and grandfather, and encouraged him to give everything to Japan.

"I'm useless, I've betrayed the emperor's trust and ruined the family's honor, and only blood can wash it away."

Yuzo Miyamoto remembered the broken and mutilated corpses of his brothers, and the humiliating scene of the emperor bowing his head in front of Zheng Hao, he pulled out the short knife he carried with him.

"Is a real samurai so cowardly? You don't deserve the Miyamoto family name. ”

As soon as the cold blade in Miyamoto's hand was pressed against his neck, a man's voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"Prince Lehito!"

He saw the man's face clearly and exclaimed, "Why are you here?" ”

"More than half of the royal guards have been lost, and I, as the commander of the city defense, can I not ask why?"

Prince Rakuhito looked at Yuzo Miyamoto with contempt and asked, "This is the explanation you gave me?" An explanation for the Great Japanese Empire? ”

"I'm sorry! My faults are willing to be washed away with blood! ”

"Coward! The people of China show off their might in the Great Japanese Imperial Palace, this is a shame that has not been seen for a thousand years, and it is not a pity for you to die! ”

"Yuzo Miyamoto is willing to accept any punishment!" Yuzo Miyamoto threw his short knife on the ground and fell to his knees in front of Prince Rakuhito with a pop.

"Very well, you have disgraced the royal family, and you must make amends." Prince Rakuhito attached himself to Yuzo Miyamoto's ear and whispered his plan.

"How can this be? The Emperor is orthodox! ”

Yuzo Miyamoto exclaimed, his face pale and his eyes blank, and he muttered, "We will be the sinners of Japan through the ages." ”

In the Imperial Palace, in a secret room, Emperor Mingjie kneel on a pu tan wrapped in bright yellow silk, and the table in front of him is dedicated to the tablets of the emperors of the past dynasties.

"Ming Jie is useless, I hope that the ancestors of the past generations will bless Japan, so that the demonic man will be trapped in the fire cave of Mt. Fuji and will never be able to turn over."

Emperor Ming Ji miscalculated Zheng Hao's strength, not only lost most of the guards by his cronies, but also caused the fall of Abe Shinmei, the chief onmyoji and great god of the imperial family.

But in the face of Zheng Hao's terrifying heterochromatic vertical pupils and strong strength, Emperor Mingjie disregarded the face of the imperial family and made all kinds of compromises.

He didn't expect Zheng Hao to be interested in the fire crystal hidden by Miyamoto Yuzang, and asked about the source.

Emperor Mingjie was both angry and glad when he learned of Zheng Hao's intentions.

The fire crystal comes from the Mt. Fuji Fire Cave, a royal secret place, and it is extremely dangerous, and only the blood of the emperor who has mastered the three artifacts can enter and exit freely.

"It's better to go and never return, the lovely Miss Yumei is mine again."

Emperor Meijie was thinking about something good when the door suddenly opened, and someone broke into the room.

This room is dedicated to the emperors of Japan, and it is the most secret place in the Imperial Palace, and no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the current emperor.

"Leren? Who let you in? Miyamoto! Kick him out. ”

Emperor Ming Jie looked at Yuzo Miyamoto behind his younger brother, and he was shocked and secretly pressed the alarm button that Pu Tan had covered.

Emperor Mingjie's small movements were fully watched by Prince Rakuhito, and he laughed and said, "Dear brother, Yuzo Miyamoto appeared here with me, don't you still understand the situation?" ”

Emperor Meijie pressed the siren, but no guards came, so he glared at Yuzo Miyamoto and asked sharply.

"Miyamoto! You betrayed me, do you want to bring shame on the Miyamoto family? ”

"It's the shame that he continues to be loyal to you, you shit."

Prince Lehito looked at Yuzo Miyamoto, who bowed his head and was silent, he stepped forward and picked up Emperor Mingjie's collar, and said with a cruel smile: "Brother, for the sake of the Empress and the lovely Princess Yuko, you'd better hand over the key to the secret box of the three artifacts immediately." ”

"You are rebellious, and you will become traitors through the ages."

Emperor Mingjie's face turned red when he was strangled, and he trembled when he heard that his younger brother actually threatened him with his wife and daughter.

Although it is rumored that the three artifacts of the Japanese imperial family, the sword, mirror, and seal, have been secretly hidden in the inner garden of the imperial palace, sealed in a stone box that only the bloodline of the imperial family knows.

"Yaga!"

Seeing that his brother was still pretending to be the emperor's majesty, Prince Lehito became impatient, and raised his hand to have two big mouths, which made Emperor Mingjie's nose bleed.

"I'm making friends, I'm making friends."

Emperor Ming Jie has been pampered since he was born, and he immediately gave in to the treatment he received.

Prince Rakuhito got the three artifacts and immediately rushed to Mt. Fuji Asama Shrine to wait for the old monk who had just returned from the top of the mountain.

Asama Shrine has been presided over by members of the imperial family for generations, and holds Japan's greatest secrets.

"Tiancong Cloud Sword, I haven't seen it for many years, and Emperor Hirohito had just ascended the throne at that time."

The legendary Japanese Excalibur is two feet seven inches long, with a blade that resembles the blade of an iris and a thick central part of the sword.

The grip is about eight inches thick, with many links that are not smooth, like the vertebrae of an animal, and the whole body is silvery.

The old monk experienced the accession to the throne of Emperor Hirohito before World War II, and was at least 100 years old.

Although he is old, he has not been affected by the blood moon energy and has transformed into a zombie, which shows the peculiarity.

"Uncle Tai, please help Le Ren to defend the majesty of the royal family!"

The old monk saw that Le Ren was holding the Tiancong Cloud Sword and the crescent-like eight-foot Qionggou Jade, with a resolute face, so he took the bronze Linghua Eight Mirror handed by Le Ren.

"Since His Royal Highness Le Ren can obtain the three artifacts and is willing to fight for the royal family, why should the old monk regret this body?"

The old monk is a member of the imperial family after all, and even if Zheng Hao enters the Mt. Fuji Fire Cave through the will of the current emperor, he still has dissent.

The old monk led Prince Leren into the shrine, opened a secret room in the backyard, and an obsidian stone platform with strange runes engraved appeared in front of the two.

He put the Eight Mirrors against the center of his eyebrows, and said to Prince Leren, who was standing on the stone platform, "Your Highness is preparing to enter the secret realm, please be careful. ”

"The Tiancong Cloud Sword is an existence capable of slashing the Yaqi Great Snake, how can he resist me as an ordinary man." Prince Leren had a look of ambition.

Prince Rakuhito now has the three artifacts of the Japanese imperial family and has begun to assert himself as the emperor.

The old monk frowned, but didn't say anything.

The old monk had seen the power of the Tiancong Cloud Sword, and the eight-foot Qiong Goyu could provide Le Ren with the energy to drive the Divine Sword, and he infused the energy of consciousness into the Eight Mirror in the center of his eyebrows.

As the old monk input the energy of consciousness, light and shadow appeared on the originally green and faint mirror, and Le Ren actually saw Zheng Hao and the mountain-like giant beast.

"Your Highness, after killing the enemy, you must cut off the ninth head of the Yaqi Great Snake, otherwise the ancient divine beast will awaken and no one will be able to subdue it."

"I see."

Le Ren was a little dissatisfied with the old monk still calling himself His Highness, and he deliberately accentuated his tone and said, "Uncle Tai can send me into the secret realm." ”
