In the vast ocean formed by thick clouds, the sun rises and shines, spewing an infinite amount of light and heat.

And the gale high above the sea of clouds was so violent that it almost turned into a visible substance.

But it was restrained within a certain range by some invisible and terrible might, and the storm did not spread wantonly, nor did it impact, directly tearing apart this boundless and boundless sea of clouds.

Obviously in the void of nothing, the huge land like a mountain is like a floating island, wrapped in a chaotic storm, and suspended steadily above the sea of clouds.

It is a huge "mountain" turned upside down, with the steep and irregular part of the mountain pointing vertically downwards and the flat land facing upwards.

Outside, a sea of golden clouds illuminated by the brilliant sun, but inside the floating island, there was a dull and unobscure haze, after all, the huge storm system visible to the naked eye would also obscure the sun.

- So inside the gray floating island, it's like a small world of its own.

The most central part of the land is a castle, and it is a flat castle, that is, a castle built on the plain. The main feature is that the castle walls were used as the basic facilities for defense, and the residence of the lord of the castle was fortified.

Since this kind of castle is located on a flat plain, it is relatively simple to expand the castle town and cultivate the land, so it is easy to form a relatively developed metropolis......

Of course, it is a metropolis on an ancient level.

However, the current ancient city has lost all its vitality, like an empty dead city. Under the gray and gloomy sky, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and the streets were empty and deserted.

The inhabitants of the city are like the villagers of the villages scattered around the floating island, not that all of them have died and the chickens and dogs have not been left behind.

- It's just that they were really scared and didn't dare to go out.

Even those samurai, nobles and the like, who were relatively knowledgeable and decent people, were just hiding at home and trembling in fear at this time, unable to understand what was going on at all.

As for the peasants who have been facing the loess all their lives with their backs to the sky, it is even more impossible to accept the reality that they suddenly "go to the sky".

Although there has always been nothing scary to kill them, as long as they don't mess around with the edge of the map themselves...... No, it won't be too much of a problem if it falls or is swept away by a storm.

However, if this continues, they themselves will not be frightened into insanity, and they will definitely gradually come to an end due to the collapse of the production system.

After all, even if there are no active risk factors that threaten their survival, they themselves still have to eat, and it is impossible for people to survive on photosynthesis......

Taking a step back, even if humans had really evolved such an ability, there would not be enough sunlight to supply them in this floating island that was almost closed, and the sunlight was blocked by the outer solid storm!

……

……

And in the city of the floating island, in a dark space where I don't know the exact location.

A huge cobweb spreads out, weaving and spreading through the darkness.

In the center of the web, it was not a spider that lurked, but the head of a human man...... That's right, it's scary, there's only a single head, and it's not body tissue attached to the bottom of the head, but a lot of spider silk.

The head has long hair like seaweed, and the ends of the hair hang down to the chest, and he looks very handsome, and if he has a full body, he should be a beautiful man.

However, this is the young city lord who belongs to the city of people, and the appearance of the yin knife is seen by people, that is to say...... The current essence of this head is actually a half-demon that occupies the body of the Yin Knife.

Naraku.

But it's surprising enough that he has only one head left, but he's not dead......

Of course, it doesn't seem like it's possible to say how nourishing life is, otherwise there wouldn't be only one head left, and it seems that Naraku is quietly in the center of the cobweb, with her eyes closed, as if she hasn't woken up from her slumber.

His expression twitched from time to time, and then became visibly distorted and hideous, as if he was in a sleep and was suffering a great deal of pain.

The spider's web glowed with strange light, one after another, starting from the skull in the very center, spreading in all directions, flashing and flashing as if it were some special lantern effect.

And it wasn't just the special energy that illuminated Naraku's head, but also a shrine that stood quietly in front of his skull.

The shrine is a one-man tall standing stone, the surface has been treated to a certain extent, and it is inscribed with various mystical symbols, and the surrounding ground spreads a series of pitch-black chains, tightly fastened to the base of the standing stone......

Each chain looks pitch black and heavy, seemingly indistinguishable, but if you look closely, you will see that their surface is also engraved with dense occult symbols.

And the chains stretched all the way to the depths of the darkness, maybe the other end was actually connected to the nodes of the huge cobweb, and it was constantly absorbing those energies.

Most notably, the surface of the standing stone seems to have been deliberately splattered with mottled blood stains of unknown whom, and although it has been dimmed and solidified, it exudes a terrifying aura.

The thing enshrined in the shrine is even more conspicuous, a small piece of pink crystal, but the darkness of the interior seems to be a jade block that can swallow all the light in the world.

The fragments of multiple pieces of the Four Souls Jade were combined to condense into a piece of jade.

It was also glowing with a faint bright purple glow, and the frequency was the same as the frequency of the flashes of light on the spider web, as if it was simultaneously absorbing something, and as if it was releasing something.

I don't know how long it has been, but the blood stains on the shrine have become more and more dim, as if they have been gradually absorbed by the standing stones, and slowly disappear without a trace.

At the same time, the changes that appeared were that whether it was the light shining on the spider webs or the bright purple light blooming from the jade blocks of the Four Souls Jade, the frequency was getting higher and brighter.

Eventually, in a bloom that shines enough to banish all darkness—

The human man's head on the web seemed to let out a low cry of pain, and his entire handsome face was completely distorted, but that didn't change what was happening.

This huge evil half-demon formed by combining the pathetic human obsession with the killing intent of the monster that defies humanity has unimaginable demonic power in itself, but the latent human heart prevents him from achieving absolute power.

But the existence of a power that he cannot fully grasp is beyond doubt.

At this moment, the power possessed by the existence of Naraku is that the person who laid it down, or the truly ruthless earthly gods, is forcibly extracted through this strange ritual.

The huge demonic power that was extracted, in the continuous shining light, was a cloud of mist, which didn't look thin, but the density was not much higher.

The "mist" was slowly compressed by the power filled with light, and after reaching a certain level, it became solidified, and the jade block on the shrine except for the jade of the four souls was releasing light, and the blood that had been absorbed before seemed to be released at this time.

A trace of bright red blood was mixed into the "mist", and seeped into the most fundamental and essential "spirit" that was conceived by the power of the jade of the four souls, as far as life is concerned.

Then, as if the "spirit" was rapidly becoming powerful and materializing, the complete life form was being shaped.

That's right, little by little, from the soul to the body, the process of creation is completely revealed in the void.

It is a pity that no third person can be present with his own sober will, and clearly observe this terrible and sophisticated creation:

Skin, flesh, bones, internal organs...... And so on, from the inside out, incomparably fine and gradually formed, incomparably delicate growth.

Eventually, the light suddenly vanished, and everything returned to darkness.

And at the end of a certain direction, with a "click", it seems that a door opens at this time, allowing the light from outside to shine in.

It can be clearly seen that a naked woman is sitting on the ground in front of the shrine in a daze, her white carcass directly exposed to the cold air, showing a concave and convex curve.

Although her eyes were still confused like a new life, her fiery eyes and slightly pointed ears showed her inhuman identity.

Da Da Da ~~

The sound of crisp and light footsteps, like a machine-like accurate step, came from outside the door to the woman's side.

In a daze, the woman, who also showed a sense of enchantment, subconsciously raised her head and looked over.

She found that it was a petite girl with an expressionless face, white hair, white clothes, and plain white body.

The petite girl with a plain white body held a mirror, came to the bewitching woman, looked at the latter calmly, and then said a sentence in a faint voice-

"Kagura, the Lord wants to see you."

……

……

Legend has it that one day, a beautiful goddess came to bathe in a hot spring......

emmmmm, it's such a cheesy beginning anyway, this is the beginning of the story.

After all, among the legends and stories that Mo Chen himself knew, there were two examples, the Weaver Girl and the Seven Fairies, who had to take a bath as soon as they got out, as if the living conditions in the sky were so difficult.

And they were all met by the man who was destined to be killed, and the clothes they took off were also stolen, and the subsequent development was even more unsophisticated, so that many people would confuse the two stories.

For similar storylines, you can also refer to Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy......

Anyway, the next story is all right, that is, sparks sparked between the two, and a singable and crying romance unfolded, and finally touched the world.

In ancient times, when there was no such thing as copyright, there were many short stories around the world with similar synopsis. Even this land has a similar storyline, and it's true.

That is, the Celestial Maiden went to bathe in the hot spring, and the man who happened to encounter this sudden incident quietly took away the clothes hanging on the branches......

Then the goddess went helplessly to look for it, intentionally or unintentionally sparked with the man, and then staged a poignant and moving love story -

Think too much.

In fact, it was actually the Heavenly Maiden who had stolen the feather coat who was furious, and searched all the way to not only kill the disrespectful guy, but also kill all the other innocent people in the village.

At this moment, from the beginning of a bedtime fairy tale, the jump has changed to a bloody and terrifying painting style.

"But...... What does this have to do with Taketori Monogatari? ”

The witch who rode the Dead Soul Worm against the wind, after quietly listening to Mo Chen's explanation next to her, couldn't help frowning slightly and asked.

She knew the legend of Taketori Monogatari, but she hadn't heard of what the other party said, although it was normal, after all, transportation and information transmission were inconvenient in this era.

However, Kikyo really can't connect that bloody version of the legend of the Celestial Maiden with the Tale of Taketori.

"Because of the five treasures, the power of that celestial maiden is deeply related to the five treasures that circulate in the Tale of Taketori...... The pearl of the dragon's head, the jade branch of Penglai, the stone bowl of the Buddha, the son of the swallow Amber and the fire rat Qiu. ”

Riding on the back of the demon horse Yan Hoof, Mo Chen explained.

"These five treasures will be able to break her seal, and if she retrieves the Heavenly Feather Cloak, she will be able to resurrect completely."
