"Oops, it's been seen," Seeing Shang Yang and Jue see their intentions, Yakumo Zi naturally covered his smile with a fan, "That's right, completely separating common sense from extraordinary knowledge, this is our plan." ”

"That's right," at this time, Xia Na also took over, and didn't seem to be surprised at all by the monster sage's words, but asked calmly, "However, we still have to ask your reason, youkai sage." ”

"Well, if the reason and reason are the reasons," Yakumo Zi said slowly without care, "Everyone in the hot spring village also knows." ”

"The world in this era is different from that of a thousand years ago."

"It's the same as Jue said, we, the ancient monsters, are different from the monsters of this Warring States era."

"Thousands of years ago, the gods, monsters, walking in the world at will, no one restricted, and there is no distinction between the upper and lower concepts, the so-called master of the monsters, is just an unrealistic name, to be precise, whether it is the monster business sheep of the sky, or the monster of the human heart, or as the monster of the realm, although we are all the same as the lord of the monster, but we have never had a fixed night walk of a hundred ghosts, our night walk of a hundred ghosts, is all the monsters living in this land."

Although there was a trace of memory, the sage of the monster still spoke slowly.

"But now, a thousand years later, it's different."

Accompanied by the gentle tone of the sage of the monster, the changes of history and the changes of the human world, in this thousand-year-old hot spring village, gradually spread out a picture scroll

"The development of gods and Buddha culture, Shintoism, Buddhism, along with the legend of gods and Buddhas, the fear and awe of mortals who are becoming more and more populous have also been dragged into the world one after another from the illusion of extraordinary knowledge, and more and more monsters are no longer born from all things in the world, but from the fear of people, the essence of monsters is covered, the realm of monsters themselves is ignored, and the growth of demon power no longer relies on their own thousands of years of cultivation, but to absorb the fear of people,' Fear', fear has become the most important means for these warring gobies to settle down. ”

"For thousands of years, the youkai who have relied more and more on the power of 'fear' have also been slowly influenced by mortals, and the culture of mortals has also become the culture of youkai, and the habits and systems of mortals in this land have also appeared among youkai."

"Wandering in this land, the monsters who live in no fixed place gradually have a sense of territory, the monsters begin to settle in a specific place, the monsters with powerful demons begin to rule the places it can control, and the method of gathering monsters to form a hundred ghosts to form a hundred ghosts gradually disappears, and the monsters with strong demon power begin to learn the appearance of mortals, and drink demon wine with the monsters who are willing to follow them, forming a master-slave relationship similar to that of mortal lords and subordinates, and the monsters who command a hundred ghosts become' The head of the house, the following youkai become the 'retainers', the Hyakki Nocturnal becomes a specific force, the yokai of the same race become the 'clan', and the powerful yokai who lead the group are called the general of the clan, and the Hyakki Nocturnal composed of different yokai is called the group, and the leader of the yokai who dominates the 'group' is also called the general general. ”

"The demon wolf clan, the Tono family in the northeast, the feathered fox in Kyoto, the ocelot clan on the leopard cat lord's side, the eighty-eight ghosts of Shikoku nocturnal, the remnants of the Western Demon Moth, and the Western Country Dog General Dou Tooth King who was defeated by you hundreds of years ago."

With Yakumo's narration, on the map spread out by the monster sage, the names of the monster forces written in ink-colored handwriting also appeared one after another in the corresponding places on the map, and after a while, the names of many forces appeared on the map, occupying almost all the land on the map.

"These large and small forces have divided the monsters into local monster forces, attacking each other, just like the mortals in this land who have been caught in the war for more than a hundred years."

"This is the status quo of the monsters of this era, Shang Yangjun, everyone in the hot spring village, the balance between monsters and mortals has disappeared hundreds of years ago, and the current balance status quo is just an illusion of the water moon mirror flower."

"The youkai who are relying more and more on fear, and who are becoming more and more like mortals themselves, have gradually lost their independence from mortals, and the scales have tilted, and the two that should be balanced by each other, youkai, are already dependent on the fear of the people of this land."

"In this way, even youkai will become unable to survive without mortals."

Speaking of this, Yakumo Zi paused slightly, and the conversation suddenly changed.

"In the past, we went to many other places in this world and saw many things, but in this long wandering, we found on the continent on the other side of the sea, and in the Western European countries in the far west, that the human beings there have slowly gotten rid of the fear of gods and Buddhas, and even began to doubt the thoughts of gods and Buddhas."

"This is an extremely dangerous situation for the gods and monsters who now rely on faith, and whether it is us or you, you can see, this is the history that human society will inevitably usher in, in the past, mortals relied on believing in gods, and fearing monsters, to gain comfort in their hearts and the courage to live, then, one day, without relying on faith, mortals can live."

"The era of disappearance of faith will surely come, and the sceptical ideas that sprouted in the Central Plains and Europe will one day, hundreds of years later, turn into the wind of history and blow on this land."

"At that time, it was a world where it would be difficult for gods and monsters to survive."

Accompanied by these words with a little emotion, the monster sage also slowly said the next sentence.

"When that era comes, it is still possible for the yokai, as well as the inhuman things that are not very knowledgeable, to live in the same way as they have been for thousands of years, and this is the true meaning of the yokai expansion plan, and the town of yokai."

When Yakumo's words fell, on the map that was spread out, the deep mountains that were rarely inhabited and shrouded in vast fog all year round were pointed out by the sage of Yokumo, and only jackals, poisonous snakes, and flocks of birds lived in the deep mountains, showing the words "Yokai Town".

And after listening to Yakumo Zi's words, Shang Yang smiled indifferently and said slowly.

"Hundreds of years later, before the arrival of an era when people doubt the existence of extraordinary knowledge and make it difficult for gods and monsters to survive, we will completely separate the land of extraordinary knowledge from the human world, abandon the balance that can continue for hundreds of years in this era, and once again establish a balance between common sense and extraordinary knowledge on a larger level."

"It's really the best way available."

And speaking of this, Shang Yang also seemed to be completely unimpressed and said lightly.

"However, if this plan is carried out, not only will there be many youkai, but even the youkai of the underworld will have some objections."

Hearing the young man's words, which seemed to have some deep meaning, the sage of the monster once again showed a playful smile and smiled.

"So, Shang Yangjun, what is your opinion?"

"No problem," nodding slightly, Shang Yang naturally agreed with Yakumo Zi's plan, and said casually, "Then be it." ”

"There's something that needs to change, though."

As he spoke, Shang Yang raised his hand and casually pointed to the unfolded map.

With Shang Yang's actions, the four words "Monster Township" on the map became three words.

Gensokyo.

"That's fine."
