"The god Anui has been in peace for a long time. The origins of our ancestors were at the same time as the Shinto gods in the Honshu region, but they did not develop as rapidly as the Shinto gods, and they were at a disadvantage for a long time when compared to the two. ”

The ruined temple of Rebunka was bathed in the sunlight of the mutilated sun, and the body of Ausikp, who was hunched over in front of Kamiya, was illuminated by the sunlight and looked holy.

At Kamiya's request, she narrates the old story of the Anui mythological system.

"After the several battles that broke out between the Shinto Sect Takamagahara, and the Huangquan Kingdom, although the gods of Kamui knew about it, they did not participate in it."

"The divine war between Gao Tianyuan and Huangquan Kingdom? Can you elaborate on that? Kamiyagawa asked.

"Kamiya-sama doesn't know?"

"I ...... On the Shinto side, now that the gods have withered and died, I can only be regarded as the inheritor of the legacy of the old Shinto gods, and I don't know anything about the past. Kamiya chose to explain honestly.

Yausikpu looked up and thought about it, and then seemed to accept this statement: "I only rose to prominence in the land of Kamui later, and I don't know much about the past, especially the things on the Shinto side, so I can only tell you roughly what I know. ”

"Well, you say."

"As far as I know, the first divine war between Gao Tianyuan and Huangquan Kingdom took place in the ancient century. At that time, there were many old Shinto gods who originally belonged to Takamagahara who stood on the side of Huangquan Kingdom, and when the god war stopped, both sides suffered heavy losses and fell many gods. ”

"The gods who originally belonged to Takamagahara are on the side of the Yellow Spring?" Kamiya was slightly surprised to hear this information.

"Yes, the most representative is one of the three noble sons, Suzhan Mingzun. In addition, there is also the dragon god Dark Silt and Beauty. Ausikp nodded.

Suzhan Mingzun, that is, Susanoo.

One of the three main gods of the highest status in Shintoism.

Legend has it that when Izanagi returned from the country of Yellow Springs, he thought that his beloved wife Izanami had been corrupted and completely degenerated by Yellow Springs, and that Yellow Springs was too ugly and filthy, and the first thing he did when he came out was to cleanse himself.

He performed the ritual of purification in Apoqihara, and in the process of bathing, the clothes and dirt that he washed off turned into gods large and small.

The three main gods of the later period, the three noble sons of Shinto, were also born in this ceremony.

The god that Izanagi transforms when he washes the dirt in his left eye is the god of Amaterasu; The god who turns into the right eye when he washes his right eye is the moon reading life; The god who transforms when washing his nose is the god of riot and destruction, Susanoo.

When the third noble son was born, Izanagi was very happy.

He asked the three nobles to divide the divine residence, and handed over the god artifact Yasaka Qiongquyu to Amaterasu, so that Amaterasu could govern the most important core god residence, Takamagahara.

He also ordered the moon to read his life and govern the country of night.

Send the broken Tail Feather Zhang, give the order Susanoo, and order him to govern the ocean.

Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi each governed the land according to Izanagi's instructions.

Only Susanoo did not manage the sea he was ordained, but only cried bitterly in the face of the sea, until his beard grew to the length of eight fists, and he still couldn't stop crying when it dragged to his chest. There is a great momentum to cry the green mountains and the ocean.

And Susanoo's crying voice is like a summer fly buzzing everywhere, and all kinds of disasters are born together.

The son's uncompetitive appearance naturally aroused Izanagi's anger.

But when he asked Susanoo why he didn't do what he was told to govern the country, Susanoo simply replied, "I miss my mother and I want to go to Huangquan Country, the land of my deceased mother, so I cry." ”

Izanagi's experience at the Yellow Springs was enough for him to be traumatized. Hearing Susanoo say this, of course, he was furious.

Later, Susanoo was directly expelled.

In addition, in the chronicle of Japanese mythology, Susanukino's male personality is fickle, sometimes fierce, but sometimes heroic. Although there are deeds of killing the Yaqi Orochi, more often than not, they are destroyed everywhere in the shrine.

For example, after being expelled from the shrine by his father.

He planned to go to Huangquan to find his mother, and before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to his sister Amaterasu, who lived in Takamagahara.

But when you walk, the mountains and rivers and the earth are shaken, and Amaterasu is alarmed. Amaterasu thought that his younger brother was going to invade Takamagahara and was fully armed and ready to fight. When Susanoo arrived, he explained his intentions, but Amaterasu was still a little skeptical.

Two great gods...... As evidenced by the birth of children, a total of five males and three females were born to eight gods.

The specific birth process is to clean each other's two artifacts given to each other by the Father.

Amaterasu washed off his younger brother's ten-fist sword with three goddesses, the three goddesses of the later famous sect.

Susa washed off his sister Magatama with five male gods.

According to the contract before they gave birth, Magatama gave birth to a strong male god, indicating that Amaterasu has a strong offensive psychology at the moment.

And the birth of a weak goddess on Susa's sword indicates that he has no plans for Takamagahara on this trip.

Amaterasu is at a loss, so he shows his trust in his younger brother.

After that, Susa lived in Takamagahara for a while, and because he won the duel with his sister's son, he got a little carried away. Every day, he made trouble everywhere, made the fields that had been reclaimed with great difficulty desolate, threw the gods into the spinning huts, and on the temple, causing all the miasma.

The gods of Takamagahara felt that there was nothing they could do about this noble son's brutal atrocities, and they felt extremely troubled.

At first, Amaterasu was able to accommodate his own Oudoudou in a relaxed mood.

However, Susanoo is too obedient and willful, too unreasonable. Amaterasu, who was seriously hurt in the heart, was furious, and hid in the Teniwa family in anger and did not come out.

This is the matter of the Onitsuka Goddess Dance of the Tenden Girl of their Juqiong Shrine Belief in Kagura.

In addition, there is a record of Susanoo killing Okotsubimai, the god of food, in mythology.

"Hmmm......"

Kamiyagawa seriously recalled the myths he had read, the records of Susanoo's life, although the myths he saw were all human records, and it was unclear whether there was another hidden story behind it.

But combined with his various deeds, on the whole, Susanoo will side with his mother in the first god war...... Unexpected, but reasonable.

As for the dragon god mentioned by Yausikp, the god Dark Silt and the god of Beauty.

Kamiyagawa also knew the name of this god.

The Japanese dragon god was born from the blood of the god of fire, Kaguto, and was one of several gods who incarnated from the corpse of Kaguto after Izanagi swung his ten-fist sword Tenno Oyu Zhang to kill Kaguto.

Kinship-wise, the dragon god is the child of the god of fire.

My father was killed by my grandfather, and as a grandson, I probably inherited my grandfather's disgust for my father, and I don't think I will get any good face in the shrine.

After that, the god war will take refuge on the grandmother's side, which seems to be a matter of course.

"So Gao Tianyuan's side is not monolithic, after the outbreak of the Divine War, it is estimated that many gods will fall to Huangquan's side for various reasons." Kamiya guessed this from what Ausikp had said.

It's no wonder that the gods will fight fiercely until the gods wither.

Originally.

The gods of Shinto are almost exclusively born of Izanagi and Izanami, or their descendants.

The war between the two broken supreme gods is a matter of choice for the other gods similar to "who are you going to go with after Mom and Dad divorce".

It's reasonable to help anyone.

"So, the god war started around the little that happened between Izanagi and the Izanami family." Kamiya thought again.

However, when you think about creation myths around the world, many of them can't get around this.

Like Greek mythology, in the final analysis, it is also the little in Zeus's house.

"But then again, if they hadn't caused the people to wither, I wouldn't have been able to rise as a reserve of ghosts and gods. Moreover, the myths that circulate are all recorded by human beings, and perhaps there are secrets behind the events that are not well known. ”

……

It is true that Yausikep did not know much about the old things of Shintoism, and after roughly telling everything he knew, he returned to Anui's side:

"After the end of the Fourth Divine War of Shintoism, the gods withered. Old Shinto gods began to invade the dwellings of the surrounding gods and plunder the faith. It was also at that time that the land of Kamui in Anui began to be lost. ”

With the words of the Spider Mother God, Kamiya generally has a more specific understanding of the strength of the Shinto side and the Anui side.

The Shinto side is still very strong.

The divine war was fought until the dog's brain was beaten, but the withered Shinto old gods could still snatch back blood from the surrounding small faiths, such as Anui.

Yausikp: "And I am the new god who rose after the land of Kamui fell into disarray. After I became a god, most of the gods on this land have fallen. After that, it was the Huangquan gods, including the village demon gods, who carried the power of Huangquan to invade and plunder on a large scale, and even devoured the original sun gods. ”

"In the fight against the invasion of the Yellow Springs, that is, the Plague of Lightlessness, Acheng Thor, and his son, the heroic god Ainurakir, fell or disappeared one after another, and the entire land of Kamui was devastated."

"As for me, it was the opportunity to severely damage the village demon god before Ainurakr disappeared, so that this Yin God was forced to sleep with me in the temple. I don't know what happened after that. I only know that the power of the follow-up Huangquan seems to have been sealed for some reason. ”

After that, Kamiyagawa and his party arrived in Kamuyi.

Completely awakened the Huangquan Thunder God and the Spider Mother God, who were restricted by each other, and successfully retreated from the Yin Thunder God when the Yin Thunder God was not in a good state.

"Has the power of Huangquan been sealed?" Kamiyagawa pondered for a while, and then asked, "So, how much do you know about other things in Huangquan Kingdom?" ”

The spider mother god just shook her head: "The yin gods of Huangquan are in a very strange state. Many years after Kamuyi had been plundered by the Shinto religion, the god of Acheng Thunder and the Ainurakr at one point endured humiliation and vowed to join the Shinto gods in the future against the Yellow Springs. Maybe behind the Huangquan Yin God, there is some ulterior secret. ”

The god Anui had been sucked by the old Shinto gods, and it stands to reason that he should be hostile to Shintoism.

They will be forced to unite with Shintoism, which shows that the problem of Huangquan is very large.

There may really be some secrets behind the Yellow Springs that have not yet been known, otherwise it will not be enough to make the Anui gods and the Shinto sects that oppressed them share the same hatred.

Kamiyagawa learned something from Awusikpu that he couldn't know from human records and mythology. After looking at the spider Shenwei in front of him, he only felt that her expression was getting weaker and weaker, her face was pale, and her eyes, including those compound eyes, were empty and godless.

Syllable!

The Utengu, who had been hovering low in the air, flew down and almost slipped and knelt in front of Yausikp: "Mother Goddess! ”

The tengu boy looked eager and worried.

"Ah, Utengu." Awusikpu cheered up and smiled weakly at his god, "Child, you are doing well. ”

"Mother Goddess, you, your divine power is dissipating?"

Utengu stood up and hurriedly grabbed one of Ausikp's hands.

"I'm fine. The sun god is no longer there, and it's not that simple to make the sun rise again on this land, isn't it? The Spider Mother Goddess's smile faded a little, and then she looked at Kamiya River on the side, "Kamiya-sama, can I ask you something?" ”

"Ah...... You said. ”

"Utengu is a good boy, can you take care of him?"

"Mother Goddess?" Utengu couldn't help but interrupt his mother goddess's words.

His eyes under the white mask shimmered wet, like a puppy about to be abandoned by his owner.

Mother Goddess This is ...... Don't do it yourself?

"Listen to me, Utengu, kid." Ausikp raised his hand and gently touched the top of Utengu's head.

"But, Mother Goddess, you ......"

"I'm fine. You see, I'm weak, I can't do anything now. Staying in the temple and barely keeping the sun rising and setting to keep the land of Kamui running normally would take a lot of my energy. You're a kid with a lot of potential, you're a piece of jade. If you follow me, you will only do nothing and limit your growth. I want you to become a great god who can protect Kamui, you need better training, you need better people to lead. ”

"Hmm......"

The Utengu bowed his head in a muffled voice and stopped talking.

Then, Yawusikpu looked at Kamiyagawa with soft eyes: "Kamiya-sama, can you accept this request?" Although it is my personal selfishness, it is a very capricious request. ”

Kamiyagawa roughly understood.

The Spider Mother Goddess is not in a good state right now, and there is no sun god on the land of Kamui, so it seems that she intends to devote all her energy to maintaining the operation of the crippled sun in the future, and has no time to worry about anything else.

In this case, Yausikpu hopes that he can get better experience from Kanwu Tengu to follow him.

"Is that really okay?"

Kamiyagawa looked at the somewhat stubborn Tengu boy, and then at the glamorous spider girl in front of him.

What's going on with this atmosphere of orphans?

"Kamiya-sama, Huangquan is your enemy, right?" Yausikp asked.

"Hmm."

Judging from the current situation, as the heir to the legacy of the old Shinto gods, Kamiyagawa is undoubtedly on the opposite side of the Yellow Spring.

So there's no doubt about that, probably from the day he loaded the weird tale game.

"Yellow Springs is also an enemy of Anui, if this child can follow you and assist you in fighting Yellow Springs, like today. It is the best reward for the land that raised him. I can see that he will develop better by following you. I'm sure he can help you a lot with you. ”

"If he wants to."

Kamiya finally nodded.

Since Ausikp has spoken so.

Moreover, he himself is really optimistic about Utengu.

This is a tengu!

The advantage of his own race is there, and the growth ceiling is very high, so if he raises it well, maybe he will have a chance to inherit the relics of the Great Youkai Taitengu or something?

If I can raise a big tengu, then I'm not terrible?

Also, as Yausikp said, Yellow Springs is everyone's common enemy.

As a child who grew up on the land of Kamyi, Utengu can contribute to the fight against the Yellow Springs under Kamiya's men, which is also a kind of reward for the homeland that has been devastated by the Yellow Springs.
