Chapter 31: Secrets

"Mage, do you know the Heavenly Realm? And where did those immortals, demon kings, and ancient gods go? ”

In this world, there was a heavenly realm, and there were demon kings and Gu Immortals who existed in the past, but this was a long time ago......

In the Heian period, the big monster was almost the ceiling, and the mystery was fading day by day, and from then on the speed would get faster and faster.

In the later generations, it was almost the Heian period on the island side, and it was also the last afterglow of the god period of other civilizations, after which all kinds of mysterious forces disappeared like a dive.

"Oh? Are you interested in the Age of Mythology? ”

Ashiya Michiman uses the term "mythological age" to refer to these ancient supernatural civilizations.

Lin Zhengyang was overjoyed.

"Yes, later generations called this era the Heian era, thinking that it was the last return of the gods, but after I experienced it myself, I only felt ......"

"Think it's just the ruins of the gods, right?"

Michiman Ashiya interrupted him.

"You're right...... We're just prisoners in the desert. ”

The old man sighed for a while, remembering something.

"I don't know about the East, the celestial realm of this island country has long fallen, scattered fragments will occasionally be found, the gods and immortals born a long time ago have disappeared, and their civilization has also disappeared...... Here are abandoned, we are just abandoned, only prisoners who can only stay here. ”

"Whether it's magic or yin-yang art, these things that have only appeared for a few hundred years are actually rediscovered on the ruins, so there are so many mistakes and omissions......"

Michiman Ashiya seems to know something.

"Your so-called Gu Immortal is actually not the same thing as the current Immortal."

"As far as human beings are concerned, immortals mean immortality, and as for supernatural powers, they are all secondary, in fact, these immortals now, including the immortals on the Tang side, are all like this."

"Ancient gods and ancient immortals are actually the same thing......"

As they spoke, the scene around them kept changing.

Ashiya Michiman beckoned him to follow.

After a few steps, we left Kyoto and came to an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city.

Cracked ceilings, leaky walls, reeds popping up everywhere.

The rudimentary walls were originally a layer of muddy water painted on the outside of reeds, perhaps with some white ash, but now they were blurry and indistinguishable.

The air was filled with the smell of decay mixed with mud and the smell of moth-eaten insects.

It seems that the former god was an unpopular god such as a god of misfortune or a god of poverty, and it is hard to imagine that it is so dilapidated and still in the vicinity of bustling Kyoto.

"We're talking here, and I've made a pact with people that I can't stay in Kyoto for a long time, lest people say that I'm Ashiya Michiman and can't afford to lose."

Spread out his legs, Ashiya Michiman sat on the dirt floor very unfiguratively.

Even in such a filthy place, he treated it as normal, like a mud leg.

This is unimaginable for other Onmyoji......

No wonder Daoman is not welcomed...... This is Shengsheng relying on one person to lower the overall style of the circle of onmyoji......

"Judging from the few ruins I explored when I was young, the so-called ancient gods and Gu Immortals cannot be the current human beings, at least the difference in height is huge."

A reed on the ground was slapped by Dao Man and turned into a palm-sized skeleton, and then quickly grew larger, breaking the broken temple.

Three or four times the height of ordinary people, this skeleton must have been a giant in its lifetime.

"This is the Titan I've ever seen, a guard dug out of the ruins, and this is just one of them, and the only thing that can move."

"The ruins are full of these giant skeletons, the more powerful they are, the more gigantic they are, they are called giant gods...... He is a soldier of the Old Gods. ”

"They...... Who are their opponents? ”

"I don't know, there is no corpse left, nothing, maybe it was taken away, the old gods must have cleaned the battlefield when they left, and there were no corpses of the ancient gods left."

"Yin-Yang art originated from the Yin-Yang Five Elements Doctrine, combined with the local elf worship, and developed it, and it has not been more than a thousand years now, but do you know the origin of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Doctrine?"

Lin Zhengyang smiled:

"Originated in the Tang Kingdom, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, before and after the contention of a hundred schools...... Earlier, it can be traced back to the gossip of Fuxi, the origin of human civilization in the two rivers...... Is there a problem with this? ”

"No problem, that's true...... However, how did Fuxi create gossip? ”

"Legend has it that Longma Negative River Tuluo Book came out, and Fuxi evolved the Bagua Diagram ......"

"You, letter?"

Master Daoman said word by word.

What does this mean?

Is there a problem?

Fuxi was born a saint, and there was a dragon horse carrying the Hetuluo book, isn't it a legendary thing?

Since they are all legends, how can anyone believe it or not?

"It has been passed down since ancient times, presumably...... Not necessarily without cause. Perhaps, something similar has happened, right? Maybe it wasn't sent by Ryoma, but someone taught it......"

The more he said, the more Lin Zhengyang felt that it was possible.

“…… Someone or something else taught the book of Hetuluo...... No, even Hetuluo may just be a synonym...... The mythological era has evolved from generation to generation, and it may have been that Fu Xi had learned secret knowledge from a certain existence, and it was likely to be a non-human existence, otherwise there was no need to use the Ryoma negative diagram to imply that the identity of that existence was not directly explained. ”

"This makes sense, the accumulation of knowledge is in order, there is no Hetuluo book, there is no gossip, there is no Book of Changes, then the first person who imparts knowledge cannot be human beings in the period of ignorance, so to speak...... Is it the ancient gods, or some other civilization that preceded mankind? ”

Lin Zhengyang consciously found the truth.

Although there is no evidence of this.

"I don't know, it's just speculation...... According to what you said, we live on a single star, and humans and yokai are the indigenous species born here, and those great gods may be from other stars. ”

"But why did they disappear? And, this terrible change in the Earth of the future? Could there be any connection? ”

"If you can find a living ancient god giant, it may explain your doubts, but unfortunately, no one has ever seen anything like that, and these fragments that appear are just ruins in the corners of the heavenly realm, and there is not much useful stuff."

"This question can only be answered by you descendants."

Lin Zhengyang's figure began to become transparent.

Ashiya Michiman raised his eyebrows and observed curiously:

"Are you going back?"

Lin Zhengyang was looking down at his gradually transparent hands, and he could already see behind him through his body.

"Looks like so......"

Lin Zhengyang smiled bitterly and said:

"It's a shame, I still have a lot to do......

"I really hope that I can talk to you again, ......"

Before the words were finished, the man was gone.

Ashiya Michiman closed his eyes and felt the changes in the world with his heart, and the changes in his spiritual power when he disappeared......

In the middle of the night, he opened his eyes and found nothing.

He wasn't disappointed, but his eyes seemed to see a dragon with something shiny, and it was a burning curiosity.

"Years, this is the mystery of time! A miracle that Yin-Yang cannot reach! It really exists! ”

"Old man's descendants, we will definitely meet again, in the future you mentioned......"
