Bypassing the village, Liu Xing and Dogo Aige came directly to the big tree.

As a mythical creature, the task of communicating with those eight-eyed crows was naturally entrusted to Dogo Ig.

"So, what's the crow's call?"

Dogo Aige touched the back of his head, and said helplessly: "Although I and the eight-eyed crows are both mythical creatures, but the mythical creatures in this world are not a family, how do I know how these eight-eyed crows communicate?" ”

Having said that, Dogo Iger still tried to "quack" at those eight-eyed crows twice... Although it sounds more like a goose call.

So the eight-eyed crows in the tree ignored Dogo Egg, and the angry Dogo Ig couldn't help but kick the big tree, and as a result, these eight-eyed crows flew in fright.

However, these eight-eyed crows all fly in one direction.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xing immediately thought of a possibility - the eight-eyed crows were "going home"!

Liu Xing patted Dogo Egger on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's follow this group of eight-eyed crows to find their boss." ”

Sure enough, these eight-eyed crows have been flying in one direction, and the terrain in this direction is a mountain forest, which does seem to be the real habitat of the eight-eyed crows.

However, because this is an ancient mountain forest, it is very inconvenient to move in this kind of undeveloped deep mountain forest, and the field of vision will be greatly limited, so Liu Xing and Dogo Aige quickly lost those eight-eyed crows, and then got a little lost in the mountain forest.

Because this mountain forest is full of weeds and trees, you can't see any difference if you look around.

So Liu Xing looked at Dogo Aige with a little headache, pointed to the big tree in front of him and said, "Dogo Aige should be able to climb trees, so you can climb the tree now to see where we are, and if you can, determine the location of those eight-eyed crows." ”

Dogo Aig nodded, and immediately transformed into a deep diver, using his sharp claws to quickly climb to the top of the tree.

After staying on the top of the tree for a while, Dogo Aige jumped down directly and said: "Our current position should be halfway up this mountain, and that group of eight-eyed crows is now hovering on the top of the mountain, if nothing else, it is their old nest, but then again, Liu Xing, do we really want to go to their old nest?" What if they don't reason with us? ”

"Cold salad."

Liu Xing shook his head and said, "For us, the only thing we can do now is to go to the bosses of those eight-eyed crows to talk about the situation here, and see if they know how to get out of here, after all, we still know too little about this world of poetry and songs, and it is too difficult to get out of here by groping on our own." ”

Liu Xing said as he walked in the direction of the top of the mountain.

Seeing this, Dogo Iger didn't say much, but continued to maintain his deep diver form to cope with the battle that might occur at any time.

I have to say that climbing the mountain is too tiring.

When Liu Xing saw the group of eight-eyed crows again, he already felt that his feet were sore and he was out of breath.

So before officially approaching the eight-eyed crows' lair, Liu Xing beckoned Dogo Iger to sit down and rest, and by the way, he finally commanded Dogo Egger a few words.

"Dogo Egg, after we enter the eight-eyed crow's lair later, if we can meet the boss of the eight-eyed crow, and it is willing to talk to us, then you can shut up for me, you are not allowed to say half a word, and the most important thing is that you are not allowed to touch anything for me, lest people turn against us!"

Looking at Liu Xing with a serious face, Dogo Aige nodded hurriedly, patted his chest and said: "Liu Xing, don't worry, since you have said so now, then I will definitely be honestly your bodyguard, but in case the opposite side lifts the table, will we fight or run?" ”

"Of course it's running, this is people's home field." Liu Xing glanced at Dogo Iger and said: "Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, aren't we looking for death when we fight with others here?" Therefore, as long as we see that the situation is not good, we will directly make 36 plans, and go to the top, and don't think about being tough with them, because we will definitely suffer in the end. ”

After a few more words of instruction to Dogo Aiger, Liu Xing saw that he was almost rested, so he continued to set off with Dogo Aiger, and came to the place where the eight-eyed crows were circling - outside a huge cave.

Liu Xing took a look at the cave and found that the cave should have been dug out by hand, and he didn't know if the cave would return to its original state at a certain point in time.

At this moment, a handsome young man dressed in a black robe suddenly walked out of the cave.

He looks like an Asian.

Obviously, this is definitely not an NPC in the world of poetry and songs, after all, Liu Xingsi thought about it and thought about it, and he didn't think of a few poems and songs related to caves, except for "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring".

However, when it comes to "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", Liu Xing suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the "Peach Blossom Spring" in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" is actually a fragment of poems and songs that fell in the cave, but the opening and leaving conditions of this fragment are relatively simple, so the villagers and fishermen entered it so easily; Then, after the fisherman left, the villagers probably thought that the fisherman would reveal the location of their group, so they sent someone to take the fragment to another place, so that the fisherman and the local Taishou could no longer find the "Peach Blossom Spring".

Well, well-reasoned and convincing.

At this time, the young man nodded towards Liu Xing and Dogo Aiger, and said, "Where did you two come from?" ”

Liu Xing frowned, he didn't expect this young man to ask such a difficult question as soon as he came.

These are the legendary philosophical questions.

Liu Xing thought for a moment and said, "We are from the twenty-first century. ”

Now it was the young man's turn to look confused, and it was clear that he didn't know what the twenty-first century meant.

Therefore, seeing this situation, Liu Xing knew that this young man had been in the world of poetry and poetry for many years, after all, Asians had come into contact with the unit of "century" in the last few hundred years.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask, "When did you enter here?" ”

The young man thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I should have entered here in the first year of the Yuan Turtle." ”

The first year of the motoi?

Liu Xing remembered that this was an era name during the Warring States period of the island country, and the shogun at that time was still Ashikaga Yoshiaki... The reason why Liu Xing remembers these is because Liu Xing played "Nobunaga's Ambition" in the real world some time ago, in which the year name of the current time will be displayed every year during the cutscene, so Liu Xing often saw the Yuan Turtle xx year when he played the early script.

In this way, this young man has been in this world of poetry and poetry for five or six hundred years.

However, judging from his appearance, Liu Xing has not yet seen what kind of mythical creature he is, after all, this young man's appearance has no distinctive features.

Of course, judging by the fact that he was not stressed against Dogo Iger in the form of a deep diver, he should be very good at what he could do with a deep diver and himself, a "mythical creature whose identity has not yet been revealed".

So Liu Xing knew that he couldn't coerce him.

"Then we will enter this world five or six hundred years after you." Liu Xing said seriously.

The young man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Sure enough, there is no time in the mountains, but I didn't expect that five or six hundred years would pass so quickly... Is the current island country still ruled by the shogun? ”

Liu Xing thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, the shogunate has been overthrown for more than a hundred years, and now the island country is controlled by the prime minister and the cabinet. ”

"I see, I knew that even if the shogunate was gone, the emperor would not be able to return to power." The young man sighed and said with a smile: "It seems that it was the right choice for me to leave the royal family back then. ”

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be related to the royal family of the island country.

Looking at Liu Xing and Dogo Aiger, who were a little confused, the young man said with a smile: "I almost forgot to introduce myself, I am the Eight Crows." ”

Eight crows?!

Liu Xing looked at the young man in front of him with a surprised expression, he didn't expect it to be so big.

In the myths and legends of the island nation, Yagaya is one of the spokesmen of Amaterasu, somewhat similar to Hermes in Greek mythology, who specializes in serving as a bridge of communication between gods and humans, and once led the way for Emperor Jimmu under the orders of Amaterasu.

The image of the Eight Crows is a huge crow with three legs, which is obviously a reference to the three-legged golden crow in Chinese mythology.

However, the island country is a country that pays great attention to "localization", so many foreign cultures will be changed after entering the island country, so the eight crows and the three-legged golden crow are very different in other aspects except for the similar image.

But in any case, the Eight Ravens are also considered to be the subordinates of the ancient gods, and they are a notch higher than other mythical creatures.

"Hehe, don't think too highly of me, although I used to work for the old gods in the legend, but in reality I am not a subordinate of the old gods." Yagaya suddenly sighed and said, "I believe you should also know that the emperor of the island country forcibly claimed that he was a descendant of Amaterasu, one of the ancient gods of the island country, in order to put gold on his face, and arranged all the famous ancient gods in the island country to form the so-called island country myth, and then described me as a subordinate of Amaterasu. ”

"And I was originally just an ordinary black spirit, and I was a friend of the first emperor of the island country, because I once helped him deal with a snake demon together, so when he put gold on his face, he didn't forget to turn me from a crow into a crow, which is a little ridiculous to think about; But I have to say that his luck is really good, not only did those ancient gods not get angry because of his random arrangement, but also successfully fooled those ordinary people who really regarded him as a descendant of the ancient gods. ”

As mentioned earlier, island countries like to change foreign cultures, so the "crow" and "crow" in the island country form two concepts, of which the "crow" is relatively positive, because the crow is a carrion creature, so the crow often appears around the dying or the dead, and stares directly at the "food" in front of them, but the ancient island people believe that the crow is to protect the deceased from becoming a resentful spirit, and is exceedingly for the deceased, so the "crow" has become the preferred element of the god pattern of many island shrines.

But "Wu" is different, because "Wu" is a resentful spirit formed after the death of a crow, simply put, it is a kind of monster, so "Wu" and "Crow" can be said to be the same person has a different life, one is worshipped, and the other is spurned.

Therefore, Liu Xing can also understand why Ya Ya Wu is now having a self-deprecating expression, because it was originally an ordinary little monster, but now it has been inexplicably "washed" into a messenger of the gods, which is indeed a very wonderful thing.

At this time, Dogo Aige on the side finally couldn't help it, "In this way, you have always lived with the royal family of the island country, so why did you leave the royal family of the island country in the first year of Yuangui to enter this world of poetry and songs?" ”

After being silent for a moment, the Eight Ravens suddenly said with a wry smile: "At the beginning, I was still a little scared when I learned that I was arranged by that guy to be a divine envoy, for fear that those ancient gods would harm the pond fish when they punished that guy, so I can be said to be in a panic during that time; However, after a while, I found that not only did the old gods not come to me to trouble, but I also continued to grow stronger because of the offerings of ordinary humans, after all, as a spirit body, the easiest and fastest way for me to become stronger is to obtain the power of faith. ”

"And at this time, that guy also came to me to discuss, saying that he wanted me to cooperate with his performance, so I became the patron saint of the royal family of the island country, and from time to time I would follow that guy to do tours to ensure his status in the eyes of ordinary people, but I also gained great power because of this, which made me start to become a little inflated, and really regarded myself as the messenger of the ancient gods... No, I should say that I felt like an old god at that time. ”

"Because that guy and I were superficial friends who used each other, so later the royal family of the island country became weaker and weaker, and I just wanted to ensure that they could survive under the shogunate and continue to stay there to do my big dreams; However, after the Battle of Barrel Sagama, I suddenly found that the daimyo of the island nation had the support of mythical creatures behind them, and even the support of the old rulers, and I realized that the situation was not good, especially when I was sure that my strength was not even comparable to those powerful mythical creatures, and I had no choice but to flee because I was afraid that I would be buried for the royal family of the island country. ”
