Chapter 58: Origin
"Huh? Are you the head of the barnyard family?" said Yami's eyes widened slightly, it was too much for him to expect, and he originally thought it was the daughter of the head of the family.
The Human Realm is the largest human gathering place in the [Frontier Land Far from the Humans in the Eastern Country], and it is also the core of the defense against the Oni Clan.
Master Sanzang also told Yejian that the barnyard family is a famous family in the world, and he thought that this must be the kind of elite training camp, an ancient family and other places, and the head of the family is either an onmyoji wearing a magic robe or a samurai hero or something, which is completely beyond expectations......
"Yes, I'm the head of the family~ Since I was introduced by Master Sanzang, call me Ah Li" Looking at Ye Mi's surprised look, Ah Li said with a smile.
Being able to successfully enter the current barnyard field without causing an alarm already shows that something must have been sent in by one of the five people.
"Yami, the unlucky guy who was thrown in for some reason......" Sitting on the mat, Yami also introduced himself......
"Poof, unlucky bastard~" Yemi's introduction made Ali laugh out loud, and her youthful expression showed joy.
“…… Did Master Sanzang tell you anything else" Covering his mouth and suppressing a smile, Ah Li sat at the table, holding a book in his hand and smiled.
"Let me come here to find the head of the house, let's say hello first, that's probably it," Yami said, recalling when Sanzang left.
"Hmm...... Then let's wait for Master Sanzang to come back and make it clear," Ah Li clasped his hands together on his chest and smiled, although there were some guesses, it was better to wait for them to come back.
"Would you mind resting here? Master Sanzang should not be back soon, and if you are bored, you can also wander around the courtyard at will."
"I'll just stay here" Ye Jian replied casually, almost half of the yard has been walked, but there is still someone here.
The room gradually fell silent, only the sound of brushes remained, and Yami also took the time to look around the room, which was thick compared to the other rooms.
The ordinary room is more like a small library, and not far from the door is where Ah Li is, with a simple table and cushions.
And directly opposite the table is also the place where Ye Mi is currently looking, and there are bookshelves with a lot of books scattered on them.
"......" stood up and came to the bookshelf, and Yami quietly looked at the books on it, from daily life, historical knowledge to monster-related and so on, the number is actually not too much, there are only a dozen bookshelves in total, but in this era it is quite a foundation.
Among them, there are the most rare books on the shelf related to youkai, and Yami can understand why, there are many books related to youkai on the table in front of Arie.
"Is Ali interested in youkai?" Sitting back on the mat, Yami looked at the book in Ali's hand and asked with interest.
The Taigong-level heroes may not be able to see the depth of their strength when they see it at night, but Ah Li can still be sure that she doesn't have any strength, just like an ordinary girl.
"Well, I'm interested," Ali nodded her little head, holding a book in one hand and recording something with the other.
“…… It's so strange...... "Night saw unconsciously read, it's rare for normal girls to like monsters at this age, right?
"Yami, you know the relationship between humans and youkai, right?" Placing the book beside him, Ali suddenly said very seriously.
"Well, hostile relations, many monsters feed on humans, and humans also have a profession dedicated to expelling monsters" can already explain a lot from the previous scene.
"Not only that, except for a few people, most of the humans and youkai have reached the point of immortality," Ali said calmly.
"Even the most eloquent human beings will be frightened and unable to say a word when they see the monsters, and the onmyoji, the samurai, there is only one choice to destroy the monsters when they see them."
"Actually, some casualties are unnecessary, and there are many types of yokai, and some just like to play pranks and don't pose a serious threat to humans."
"But youkai are too mysterious for ordinary people, and they don't have a chance to understand it, which makes the rumors more and more serious, and most people have the impression that youkai are like ghosts."
“…… So, "If youkai and humans as a whole are hostile, then it's normal for humans to misunderstand youkai no matter how much they misunderstand."
“…… Did you know that less than one-third of the casualties between youkai and humans are man-eating youkai every year?"
"Most casualties are due to humanity's ignorance of yokai"
"For example, being frightened by goblins, permanently lost in the forest, mistakenly turning a peaceful youkai into a man-eating monster, taking the initiative to attack and trying to fight for a chance to survive, all kinds of accidents cause more casualties than man-eating monsters"
In a place like the Heavens of the World, the chance of being attacked by the man-eating monsters guarded by Haojie is not high, and most of the casualties exist outside the village.
After all, humans can't only live in the village, and many of the needs come from outside the village, which is the source of the casualties, and the number of casualties is just as Ali said, the proportion of man-eating monsters is limited......
“…… There's no way around it, it's too difficult for people at the bottom to learn about youkai."
The foundation of humans and monsters is too far apart, and for some low-level humans, monsters can even be regarded as legendary creatures, and the difference in strength is destined to be impossible to understand.
"Unless...... There is a book that records the characteristics of all yokai, and it will be popular......"
Before Ye Jian finished speaking, Ah Li had already lowered his head, took out a few pages of paper with a slightly red face and handed them to him, with neat writing on them.
"It may be a bit overwhelming, but I've always wanted to write a book that records the knowledge of yokai......"
"......" looked at Ah Li in a little surprise, even if he had limited contact with youkai, Yejian also understood that the knowledge of youkai was not enough to have books, I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I had confirmed, and many records were wrong.
On the first page of the paper are written two words, origination
This is a place feared by humans, a paradise for youkai, and at some point it began to be called "the frontier of the eastern country".
Youkai can't remember the past accurately, and you can't see the truth here.
Because of this, if you don't know the reality of youkai, you can only be afraid.
If you can better understand the abilities of youkai and take corresponding countermeasures, avoid dangerous places, and get to know humans who are good at relieving youkai, then you can live without trembling.
In order to ensure the safety of human life, we, the barnyard family, have written down the eye-catching yokai, and this is the origin of everything.
