Chapter 234: Sightseeing
Kagome's first day in this world was very boring and laid-back, and the exact news of Goofy, as well as a delicious breakfast that she had never eaten before, eased her nerves.
So Kagome, who finally came to the Warring States period five hundred years ago, had the idea of sightseeing, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of the miracle that she came to the Warring States Period?
But Kagome's desire for sightseeing was soon overshadowed by the ignorance of the villagers and the backward village.
Along the way, all the villagers she met respected her, which is easy to say, but what kind of trouble did they bow down to her like a god, and she didn't die.
Those villagers are not only dressed up with a primitive local atmosphere, but even their faces are the kind of villagers who are accustomed to hardships, which makes people have no intention of watching at all.
Most of the houses were wooden huts and thatched houses, and she wondered how these people had survived the harsh winter, but in this case, Granny Kaede's pure wooden house was definitely the best house in the entire village.
Most of the farming tools in the hands of the villagers who get up early are made of wood, which is made of stone, and there is a kind of Stone Age rush.
When she asked them curiously why they didn't use iron kitchen utensils, the villagers looked at her like monsters, and then said, "It's not cost-effective to use precious iron to know farm tools, and if you have so much iron, you might as well use them to make kitchen knives and arrowheads, and I have only heard of iron to make farm tools." ”
Hearing this, Kagome couldn't bear to look at it, is this still the Yamato nation she heard about? That is to say, the primitive tribes all have people who believe it.
Coupled with whether or not the bare-ass kids who ran away, all of these knocked Kagome's mood to the bottom, and there was no need to think about it, these bare-ass kids must not be able to wear clothes, which can be seen from the fact that the villagers who went to the fields with farm tools were wearing only a crotch cloth.
As for why she dressed like this, Kagome, who had experience being despised by the villagers, approached Granny Kaede and asked, only to find out that in order to avoid damage to her clothes, she would only wear the patched clothes after the farm work was done. Really new clothes are only worn on major holidays.
Poverty has reached such a point that she doesn't know what to say to Kagome, and she has already thought of the heroes in the history books who are all yellow-skinned, hehe.
All of this hit Kagome's mind hard. I can only find Goofy to make small talk.,As for Inuyasha, it doesn't seem to be bad.,But always avoiding her.,It's very awkward.。
Goofy saw all of this in his eyes, and the reason why Inuyasha was awkward was not because Kagome was wearing a shrine maiden costume. It's very similar to Kikyo when he's not talking.,This makes Inuyasha, who has always regarded Kikyo as a lover, how awkward.。
"Now, Heavenly Master Sang from China, since you are so powerful, why haven't I seen an introduction about you in the textbook?" This is exactly where Kagome wondered, such a powerful Heavenly Master who can also know the past and future should have a well-known name.
"Call me Goofy, the Celestial Master doesn't sound used to it." Goofy felt a little unaccustomed, and when he thought about it, he felt his past failures. has traveled through several worlds, but he has not left a past that truly belongs to him, and the most famous title should be the vain death of Yama in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, but it is his god incarnation, not strictly his own.
"But it's called Gao Fei, my Chinese pronunciation is not standard, and I feel very awkward." Hearing Kagome say this, Gao Fei also felt that Kagome's Chinese pronunciation was a little strange, and it sounded really uncomfortable.
"That's true, then you can call me Heavenly Master." Goofy didn't object to Kagome's title this time. It's just a name, and it doesn't have much impact.
"This is normal, the end of the yokai era represents the rise of science, do you think science can prove the existence of ghosts?"
After Goofy said this. Kagome also sensed the contradiction, those monsters are so powerful, it is impossible not to leave a basis in history, but in the modern era she lives, there is no such thing as monsters at all, and the only thing closely related to these is probably the summer grotesque.
"Youkai are so powerful. Why is the Yokai era over? Kagome had something new to figure out.
"About this, I have to mention the difference between Japanese monsters and our Chinese monsters, in our Huaxia, the real monsters are the kind of self-cultivation formed, without relying on any means to survive, such monsters are very powerful, but unfortunately they were almost destroyed by Taoist priests."
"You Japanese yokai are the complete opposite of our yokai, and most of them come from human fear."
Hearing Goofy's novel statement, Kagome was a little puzzled.
"You've heard of the eight million gods in Japan, and the mountains, rivers, plants, and trees are all gods. That's not wrong in itself, but you Japan have distorted the concept. ”
"Faith can make gods, fear can naturally give birth to demons, these monsters who live on fear for their own survival, naturally have to bring fear to humans in turn, what is more terrifying than attacking humans and eating people, so there will be the advent of this terrifying monster era."
Hearing Goofy dissect the formation of youkai, Kagome also knew the reason why youkai were rampant in this era, was this self-inflicted?
"Then why is the yokai era over, isn't it okay to keep it like this?" Kagome asked curiously, is this true, with the power of youkai has been attacking humans to create fear, can't it always exist, then why did the yokai era end?
"There is one word that has to be mentioned about this, that is, the aura of heaven and earth, you must know that the existence of monsters does not only require fear, otherwise your ghost movies that continue to appear in Japan will not let ghosts everywhere?"
Hearing this, Kagome thought of Sadako and Ga Coconut, and couldn't help but shudder, fortunately this is not the case, otherwise how terrible it would be if these inexplicable ghosts appeared in reality.
"You're saying that youkai still need heaven and earth aura to survive?" Kagome shook off the fear in her head and guessed the key point that Goofy had said.
"That's right, all along, the aura of heaven and earth has been decreasing, just like those villagers you see, they can't even eat, but they can pull a strong bow and fight monsters, this is the benefit of heaven and earth aura. If you don't have enough to eat and exercise like this in modern times, the only end is malnutrition and death, do you understand? ”
Goofy explained the gap between ancient and modern, giving Kagome an intuitive understanding.
"With the advancement of science and technology, especially the emergence of muskets, the combat ability of human beings has begun to become stronger, and some non-powerful monsters can be eliminated by virtue of humans themselves, which slowly leads to the loss of human fear of monsters."
"The lack of heaven and earth aura has caused some of the most powerful monsters to create a world completely isolated from the human world, hiding there and surviving."
"Those low-level yokai who live on fear disappeared in large numbers because humans no longer fear yokai, and when the concept of yokai disappeared from humans, yokai could not exist, and finally led to the end of the yokai era."
Hearing Goofy's statement, Kagome nodded happily, if the youkai always existed, it would be extremely bad, and no one wanted to live a precarious life.
Kagome, who got the answer, left satisfied, and the original question had been forgotten by the other party.
Why didn't I leave my name in Japan? That's because I'm not from this world at all. (To be continued.) )
