In 741 AD, the twenty-ninth year of the opening of Tang Xuanzong, and the thirteenth year of Emperor Shengwu of the eleventh district

Yamanaka Yoshino

For more than 40 years, Shang Yang has been very familiar with every grass and tree in the Yoshino Mountains, but the difference is that for so long, Shang Yang has not had a change in his mentality at all, or more clearly, the monster does not have the melancholy of human beings about the passage of time.

Immortality is not only the longevity of life, but also the longevity of mentality is also a part of longevity.

However, the current Shang Yang is not a novice to the Asuka era, and has lived in this era for so long, although he still lives a life similar to that of his previous life, but it has undoubtedly marked Shang Yang with the label of this era.

In other words, are you a fan of ancient anime......

Ahem, it's ruined the atmosphere again, all in all, as long as you look at Shang Yangjun's current appearance, you can probably make this clear.

Shang Yang's current style most of the time is a modern casual dress cut from white satin, although it is a casual wear style, the top part has a seal script, bamboo leaves, flames and other patterns, and there is a gray-white windbreaker outside, the hem of the clothes is below the knee, and the back is embroidered with a big green lotus with cyan silk thread.

Unlike the long hair that is customary in this era, Shang Yang is still a hairstyle that is neither long nor short, and it is no different from modern times, but it seems that because of being a monster or some other reasons, over the years, some parts of Shang Yang's original black hair have begun to become a little gray.

Over the years, Shang Yang has not been staying in Yoshino Mountain, he has gone to look around the 11th District, and has encountered a lot of monsters, but I don't know if it is because the humans in this land have not systematically feared the monsters, and can only rely on their own instinct to cultivate demon power.

During this period, Shang Yang even went to the underworld realm, which is located underground, that is, hell.

Hell is inhabited by all kinds of ghosts, but these ghosts have not yet developed the concept of "ghosts", they just instinctively gather together.

Although the Yamas began to organize the establishment of a mechanism for judging souls, that is, the prototype of the underworld, they were not as perfect as the later legends, and some legendary places still existed, such as the Santu River.

To put it simply, with the development of the culture of this island nation, the inhuman aliens have also taken on a starting state.

"I see, the key is mythology."

Not only in District 11, but also after going out to the world with Love and Kaguya in the past few decades, Shang Yang touched his chin and came to the conclusion.

Monsters, not to mention that inhuman intelligent creatures have a long history of existence, and their history can even be chased to billions of years ago, but they are only lives with some innate abilities, even if there are occasionally powerful creatures that have mastered the ability, it is only a flash in the pan, among the thousands of biological races of the earth, monsters, is a natural phenomenon that occasionally appears, such as animals that become monsters by chance, such as fox monsters, dog monsters, and plants that become monsters unconsciously, For example, tree monsters, flower monsters, or dead things that have gained wisdom and become monsters, such as stone monsters, and some life generated in natural phenomena, such as wind monsters, flame monsters. But they are not the protagonists of the evolution of life, and the kind of aliens that cannot be produced do not have the population base to become the ruler of the earth, but since the emergence of intelligent and fast-reproducing humans, they have become different.

Humans observed various anomalies with anomalous powers, feared, worshipped, and pondered their origins, and the myth was born.

Human beings have made up myths for them based on the characteristics of the aliens they have observed, and the myths themselves are the concepts of power, and the aliens with "position" in the myths are truly separated from the "natural phenomena".

To put it simply, the relationship is that human beings have seen inhuman intellectual aliens, and in order to explain their existence, human beings have fabricated myths based on their appearance and displayed power, and mythology itself is a concept, and the inhuman intellectual aliens as the prototype of myths have thus acquired a "place" in mythology and have been blessed by the concept of mythology.

Humanity and the powerful inhuman intelligence that has existed as a myth of mankind since then are a perfect two-way thing.

Therefore, whether it is gods, ghosts, or monsters, they are all "natural phenomena" that existed hundreds of millions of years before humans, until human beings were born, and after recognizing their existence, they fabricated myths, so that these creatures that originally existed in the gods gained the "position" in the myth and became the "mythical species".

When more and more myths are born, there will be more and more "positions", and more and more inhuman things will be separated from "natural phenomena" and become gods, devils, and monsters.

Human beings gain a sense of security from myths and take on the role of concocting new myths, and non-human things gain their place from myths, gain faith from humans, and assume the role of giving hope, fear, and giving to humans according to myths, which is the "symbiosis" relationship between human beings and gods and demons, a perfect and balanced state of the two rituals.

Mythology is really an incredible thing, obviously the power of words, but it has the power to affect the real world, Shang Yang has lived in Mt. Yoshino for a long time, and in recent years, he has also felt some unnamed power pouring in from the outside world from time to time, after Shang Yang's visit, he found that among the residents here, maybe some residents have inadvertently seen themselves, so there are rudimentary myths and legends such as "Humanoid Monsters in Yoshino Mountain", because it is such a simple myth, neither the power of Shang Yang is written, nor is it widely circulated, Therefore, Shang Yang only felt very little "faith".

However, this is also a big discovery for Shang Yang, at least this phenomenon fully supports his judgment.

As he walked, Shang Yang returned to his mountain villa on Mt. Yoshino.

After the bamboo building in another place was deserted due to the establishment of the hot spring village, Shang Yang had razed it out decades ago, and he was not in the habit of living in an empty apartment.

Back at home, unsurprisingly, early in the morning, Ai and Kaguya were playing games with their controllers together.

For decades, love and Kaguya have not changed at all, needless to say, love is already a monster, she has no feeling for the passage of time at all, Kaguya is a Penglai person, I don't know if I feel about time, but this guy is estimated to be like this for thousands of years.

Thirty years ago, the costume magic drama "Taketori Returns to the Moon" co-starred by these three guys has spread the legend of Taketori Monogatari throughout half of the eleventh wards, although the final ending is not very good, but in Nara's generation, there is a small ending such as "Kaguya Hime finally returned to the ground, and returned to the moon forever after sending off Taketori and Taketori's mother-in-law".

Of course, as for what the real ending is, Shang Yang, Kaguya, and Ai laugh without saying a word.

And this has nothing to do with our story, our story is a happy and pure love drama, not a costume mythological drama.

The Yamato Imperial Court moved the capital from Fujiwara-kyo to Heijo-kyo thirty years earlier, and the Asuka period ended and the Nara period officially began. Fujiwara did not wait to die of illness at home before moving the capital, although the posthumous honor, but the Fujiwara family has long lost most of the right to speak on the government, but with the relationship between Emperor Seimu is Fujiwara Palace, although the Fujiwara clan is broken, it will still not be cleaned up in the short term.

The original Fujiwara Kyo because of the official relocation of the capital,The people went to the new Heijokyo with the royal family and nobles,There is no suppression of the gloomy and corrupt atmosphere from the ground soon occupies the ruins of the entire Fujiwara Kyo,The south city gate has officially become a Rashomon connecting the hell world,Soon,The ghost clans from the underground lived in the ruins of Fujiwarakyō,In the decades after that,,There are many monsters who have migrated to this human waste capital,The original capital,Now officially became a different city belonging to ghosts and monsters,Even during the day, The ruins of the capital are still eerie.

But Shang Yang and Ai and Kaguya think it's good, the three of them came to visit the night market of ghosts and monsters at night, with the development of people in District 11, the monsters have gradually begun to have their own myths, the night market, all kinds of ghosts are setting up stalls to sell, compared to the world is also a little more lively.

Speaking of the Fujiwara clan, there is a very interesting plot, thirty years ago, Kabaya Ji returned to the moon, leaving a secret medicine called "Penglai Medicine", which is said to give people great strength and immortal life, Taketori Weng dedicated it to the current god at that time, Emperor Bunmu, the current god may not want to take risks, anyway, the current god will become a high-ranking ancestral god after death, or for other reasons, in short, the current god Emperor Wenmu did not eat the medicine of Penglai, Instead, he ordered Tsukiwakasa to take the medicine pot containing the medicine of Horai to the volcano of Suruga Province and burn it, but the matter failed in progress, and the messenger of the present god fell to his death under the cliff, and the medicine pot containing the medicine of Horai was also missing, and the minister in the capital, Fujiwara Fubi, died of illness, and a daughter of the Fujiwara family disappeared.

In recent years, Shang Yang has concentrated all his spirit on the cultivation of the power of the two instruments and the Yuan Shen Qinglian, Shang Yang's Yuan Shen Qinglian has become more and more powerful, and the operation of the power of the two instruments has become more and more profound, but Shang Yang always feels that the power of the two instruments is missing a key point, if you don't know where this key point is, the power of the two instruments will not advance into the Cheng dù of the big monster for a thousand years.

Scratching his head, Shang Yang put these aside first, and then thought about it.

Recently, I heard that the plague in all parts of District 11 is very strict, and it is really a tragedy, and it just so happens that the conditions we have been waiting for a long time are ripe, otherwise go out of the house?

Thinking like this, Shang Yang immediately thought back to the current situation slightly, well, it is completely feasible.

Thinking of this, Shang Yang casually greeted Ai and Kaguya.

"Love, princess, let's go out from tomorrow."

"Huh?!" Kaguya didn't look back, his eyes were glued to the screen, and he casually asked, "Where are you going?" ”

At least turn around and ask......

Sighing, Shang Yang replied.

"If you go to Tang Kingdom, you will probably have to live for a while."

"Well, it's okay with the concubine," Kaguya said without looking back, "Love you?" ”

"Hmm~" Ai nodded lightly, also staring at the game screen, pressing on the controller non-stop.

Shang Yang thinks,Love has become like this,It's definitely not his fault.,It's definitely Kaguya's fault.,In the first few years of Kaguya and Ai's acquaintance,Love was just a quiet girl who liked to take a bath and read books.,Now it's almost as good as Kaguya.,Although this setting is not bad.,But I always feel like something collapsed all of a sudden!

I often have no three, and occasionally sell cute Enma love!

The next day

"I said, what's going on...... Shang Yang got up early in the morning, and when he saw a package the size of two people in the main hall, he fell into a state of shock.

"The concubine body and the luggage of love~" Kaguya looked at Shang Yang strangely and said as a matter of course.

"That's too much...... Shang Yang retorted a little speechlessly.

"No more, no more," Kaguya waved his hand casually, "Originally, the concubine wanted to stuff the concubine's bed into it, but Ai let the concubine go back." ”

"I said, princess, do you still have a problem with the bed......" sighed helplessly, Shang Yang complained about Kaguya, then looked around, and asked strangely, "Where is the love?" ”

"Love to prepare food on the way," Kaguya replied casually, then turned to look at Shang Yang and asked, "By the way, the concubine hasn't asked us how to go, Shang Yang, how are we going to go to the Tang Kingdom of Gaotianyuan?" It won't be flying, just say in advance, fly half of your concubine. ”

"What about love?!" Shang Yang asked rhetorically.

"Peace of mind," Kaguya said with a wave of her hand, unconcerned, "the concubine will carry love on her back." ”

"That means you're both pressing on me, aren't you?" The corners of Shang Yang's eyes twitched, "Princess, aren't you afraid that one won't be able to hold on, and all three of us will smash into the sea?" Okay, okay, this time I went by boat, although I didn't fly so fast, but I was traveling by sea, by the way, princess, do you have seasickness? ”

"I don't know, it shouldn't be," Kaguya tapped the corner of his mouth with his index finger and said with some uncertainty, "The concubine is from Penglai, so she should be able to adapt to any discomfort and rule it out." ”

"It's okay to be seasick," Shang Yang's eyes rolled, and he thought about it, "If you are seasick princess by then, we will smash you with a hand knife, wake up and smash it once, and when you get there, you won't smash it, what do you think, princess?" ”

"Die ......"

District 11. Fukuoka

Back in this era, Fukuoka was an important port for trade in the 11 wards, and the wharves were bustling with large ships coming in and leaving the port.

"It's a lively sight," said Kaguya, who was wearing a hat and ordinary linen clothes, and looked around with some curiosity.

"Princess, this way," Shang Yang carried a small package on his back, the big excessive package was taken into his private space, this is used to hide people's eyes, he held the little hand of love in one hand, and saw that Kaguya was a little far away from him, and hurriedly pulled Ai a few steps forward and grabbed Kaguya's arm and pulled her to a large merchant ship parked in the port.

"Ahla, Shang Yang, are you concerned about the concubine?" Kaguya looked at Shang Yang who was holding her arm, covered her mouth and smiled, pulled out her arm, and stretched out a white and flawless jade hand to Shang Yang, "Allow you to be rude once." ”

"Yes, yes~" Shang Yang helplessly grabbed Kaguya's hand and pulled the two girls towards the big merchant ship he chose.

Seeing Shang Yang naturally holding her, Kaguya smiled mischievously at Ai and made a "V" gesture with his other hand.

Seeing Kaguya's appearance, Ai shook his head helplessly, and the hand that held Shang Yang's hand was also a little harder.

PS: Next is the Jianzhen Dongdu chapter, which is preparing for the moon war and afterward, it won't be very long, and as soon as these chapters pass, it will officially enter the big monster chapter.

And it's not boring to see me writing this type of text at all, right~yes~(hehehe.)

In the end, I still ask for favorites and recommendations~

Ah, there is also a group ~ a few more people to play ~ there are cute things in the group, you can bully ~ (laughs.)
