"Don't go over, outsider. You don't belong here, you don't belong to the dream realm of the Great Immortal Peach God, at least not yet. If you come into contact with a soulless dream illusion body, it will cause reality to invade and the dream to restart. What exactly will happen, I think you should have tried it yesterday. ”

The black-robed girl's voice was still cold and cold, and the lantern in her hand squeaked and swayed in the night, and the faint light reflected on the ground, but only cast a haze thicker than the night.

"You ......"

Kamiyagawa held the boy cut, glanced at the black-robed girl again, and then looked at the little Yachiko bird on the river bank a little farther away.

On the side of the Eight Birds, after being appeased by the Great Immortal Peach God, he has now thrown himself into the latter's arms and is crying.

And between the black-robed girl and the little eight birds-

A gloomy outfit with a similar style.

There are also two pairs of eye-catching jet-black wings growing on the back.

Although under the cover of the black hood, it is impossible to see their respective faces, but the part of the skin that can be glimpsed when exposed is a pale texture without blood, like white paper.

The black-robed girl in front of her, judging from her appearance alone, feels like a bird that is a few sizes bigger.

Kamiyagawa: "Yachikatori? ”

"Hmm."

The black-robed girl didn't deny it, and her black hood moved slightly.

She's a Hachiko indeed, yes.

Kamiya already knew that the dream he was in now was probably just a repetition of the events that had been circulating on the day of the "Millennium Celebration" in Tsukushi City.

And the little eight-bird on the riverbank a little farther away is just a projection in this dream.

That is the one who has grown up in front of him.

Unlike the others in the dream, Ohachi's breath to Kamiyagawa feels a little more tangible.

Then there is reason to suspect that she, like Kamiya and others, may exist directly in this dream of overlapping reality in the form of a "physical body".

Consider that the "Millennium Celebration" probably happened thousands of years ago.

Then the eight-bird bird, which is a human grass, should have lived a very long time, and its life span is extremely long.

This can be verified by the sad aura she carries.

Judging by this breath, Kamiyagawa speculated that Yatashi should be an A-class god.

The qi on Yachitori's body is different from that of Mary, but it is somewhat similar to that of Ibaraki Boy.

It is estimated that it has not contained the bones of gods, and it is the type that has transformed into a god purely by relying on the cultivation experience of a long time.

Kamiyagawa continued to look at the big eight birds generously, and at the same time spoke: "When you say 'soulless dream illusion shell', do you mean you when you were a child over there?" ”

"Yes." Yachinia nodded, "And the peach fairy over there, because he wasn't actually here, and some of the other people in the city." ”

"Other?"

"For example, Granny Huai. There are also the three children around Oak Er, not including Oak Two. There are no souls attached to their phantom shells. The dream we are in began five years after the millennium celebration in Tsukushi City. When the dream appeared, Granny Huai had already passed away, and her soul had been extradited by me, so she didn't come in. As for the other three children......"

Kamiyagawa quickly thought of something: "Last night, I entered the dream from the gap in reality, and those three filthy human forms were attached to the power of the Yellow Spring. I dismissed them...... So, they're the three kids? ”

"Yes."

"So, the grass in Tsukushi City, except for you, has been eroded by the Yellow Spring?"

"It's except for me and Momosen-sama's deities. As for the others......" Hachikatori's tone was even darker, but with a deep numbness:

"In fact, they are dead, five years after the millennium celebrations. But they are not really dead, nor are they alive. Their corpses were in a sober reality, infected by the power of the Yellow Springs, filthy and rotten. Their dying souls were captured and dragged by this dream. Struggling in endless reincarnation, there is no liberation. ”

"Huangquan invaded Apogihara, right?"

“…… Right. ”

In fact, after knowing that the "Millennium Festival" in Tsukushi City was just a dream, Kamiyagawa had already expected the situation here.

You must know that according to the course of the real timeline, for a long period of time, the Huangquan forces had several divine wars with the Gao Tianyuan forces.

It even invaded Haiguo, Santuchuan, Ainu and other places at one time.

And the timing of the last outbreak was the end of the Heian period, and the Takamagahara side was dominated by Abe Haruaki.

Now it seems that in the fifth year after the millennium celebration of Tsukushi City, the Huangquan forces broke through or bypassed the seal of the Thousand Primition Stone for the first time, and then directly launched an attack on Apo Qiyuan nearby.

This place is too far away from the High Heaven Plain, and too close to the Yellow Spring.

You can imagine what the ending will be.

Seeing that the eight birds had to answer all questions, Kamiya simply continued to ask: "Apo Qiyuan is too close to Huangquan, haven't the people and grass here thought about leaving?" ”

"I've thought about it." Yachitori's tone still didn't have any waves, and the syllables themselves slipped out of her lips and teeth as if they were contaminated with death, "The Great Immortal Peach God governs Apo Qiyuan, and has tried to lead everyone to escape countless times, but he can't. ”

"On the Apoqi Plain, there is an enchantment that traps people and grass."

The keen Kamiya River can roughly guess the reason why the people and grasses here can't get away from Apogihara.

"Yes, before Izanagi left Apogihara, he also left an enchantment seal here, and he used this place as a second barrier to block the Yellow Spring." Yachitori's tone finally fluctuated slightly.

This incident was only learned about two years after the "Millennium Celebration" actually happened, and the relationship between Yatazaka and the Great Immortal Peach God became close.

And the generous Momoken also said that this incident was not Izanagi's fault.

He said that Izanagi's blockade of Apogihara was only a matter of urgency, in order to further ensure that the restless Yellow Springs would not be a matter of expediency for the world.

As for the god of the Great Sen, he did not leave Izanagi.

He had the opportunity to leave, but he chose to stay and take the place of Izanagi to protect the people of the place.

Moreover, Daisen Momojin always believed that Izanagi would find a way to eradicate the Yellow Springs once and for all.

Believe that He will come back again to save the land.

I don't know what Daisen Momojin experienced with Izanagi. Perhaps it's because the god Daisen Peach was really created by Izanagi as recorded in mythology.

In short, it is certain that he had a paranoid longing for Izanagi that bordered on admiration.

But the truth is that Izanagi never returned.

After living for a long time, Yachitori can be sure that Apogihara has been completely abandoned by Takamagahara.

Those high gods, they trapped Tsukushi City and Hyuga City with Yellow Springs.

They don't care if they live or die here.

Yachi: "Outsider, I've answered all of your questions. Next, it's up to me to ask you. ”

"Uh-huh, that's reasonable, just ask."

"Where did you come from, and why did you come to this God-forsaken land?"

"I'm here to find the main materials related to Izanagi, maybe the Daisen Peach God has what I want. As for where I came from, I hope you can calm down first and listen to me - I am from ...... heaven."

"Oh."

The pale knuckles of the long-handled scythe were visibly tightened.

"It's not the Takamagahara, you remember." Kamiya continued to explain while noticing Yachitori's behavior:

"You should know that the dream realm on the Apoqi Plains has lasted for thousands of years, and the outside world has changed dramatically. In such a long period of time, several divine wars broke out between Huangquan and Takamagahara, and the gods withered, and even Izanagi was nowhere to be found. ”

"And I, at first, was just an ordinary person who inherited the legacy of Takamagahara. The current New Takamagahara, which was formed by me, has little connection with the old god Takamagahara. Please understand that Takamagahara, which I represent, as an emerging force. As for the suffering in the Apoqi plain, it was not caused by me. ”

Kamiyagawa directly stated his position and cut himself off from Izanagi.

He didn't choose to lie to Yagatori because he felt that this A-class god was a target to be wooed.

Maybe in the matter of getting rid of the dream realm of the Great Immortal Peach God, you can get her help.

If the seeds of lies are planted without any trust between the two sides, then I am afraid that a huge gap will be created in the future, which is not conducive to the sustainable development of good relations.

Moreover, the new High Heaven led by himself was originally a new force different from the old High Heaven.

Kamiyagawa: "Izanagi abandoned Apogihara. And I'm different from the old gods, since I'm here, then I'll do everything I can to save here. ”

"But there's nothing left to save here."

Yachitori shook her head, her eyes obscured by the hood, but she could feel that she was looking at Kamiyagawa again:

"I can see that your natural lifespan is extremely long, and maybe even longer in the future than it is now. But the beginning of your life is very short, as if it is only for a moment. The things on Apoqihara really have nothing to do with you. ”

Hearing Yachito's words, Kamiyagawa was a lot more relieved.

Very good!

She's sensible.

Although it looks cold, it's unexpectedly gentle.

That's the truth, Kamiyagawa survived to death, that is, he lived in this world for more than twenty years. There is a debtor and a master, and he can't carry the pot left by the old gods thousands of years ago.

In this way, Kamiya continued to talk to Yachito: "You just said, 'Dream Illusion Shell without a Soul'. So, a lot of grass here has a soul, right? But I don't see the difference between them. ”

"All the shells are part of the dream, and there's really no difference. However, those who have souls, they will react somewhat to the presence of you, an outsider. ”

"Reaction?"

"Yes. You've been exposed to a lot of people here. Sakura, Oak II and so on. Their souls were originally trapped in dreams, and would only follow a set route, doing exactly the same thing day after day. But when you come into contact with them, they may deviate from the original dream trajectory. ”

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"I can't tell. But preferably, don't come into contact with this kind of illusion shell again. ”

"Why?"

"Because the more they come into contact with beings that are not part of the dream, the more likely they are to come awake. They will think of everything, of their own death, of the endless cycle of celebrations. ”

As he spoke, Yachika turned to look farther along the riverbank, where the celebratory crowd gathered.

"Can you see and hear?" She asked.

Kamiyagawa also looked in that direction.

I saw the crowd bustling together, and saw the river lights flowing colorfully on the river.

Hear their laughter and laughter, fluttering around with the night breeze.

Lively, peaceful, joyful.

What he saw and heard was such a beautiful scene.

However, in such a celebratory scene, the eight birds could not feel the cheerful atmosphere.

She had seen this scene in front of her countless times, and now she could only feel numbness and sadness.

"All souls trapped in dreams are miserable, have no peace, no liberation. They were caught in the whirlpool of dream reincarnation, crying hysterically and struggling for help. Even if they are still immersed in sweet dreams, the sound is getting louder and louder every day. ”

"If the souls trapped here are fully awake, they will only suffer more."

"I've tried it many times...... Many times. ”

Because of Yachi's ability, because of her sensitivity to the soul. So that she can feel more, she can feel hidden under the surface of excitement and joy, those things that Kamiyagawa can't experience at a glance-

The Apoqi River is covered with river lanterns, which flow into a colorful ribbon of light.

The Apoqi River is bleak, and the river is rolled into a whirlpool cage that will never break free.

The grass is laughing.

The weeds are crying and pleading.

And so on and so forth, and so on, never ends.

……

Kamiya River retracted its gaze from the river bank in the distance.

"You said there was no salvation here, did you?"

"Yes."

"But I think there are still people here who can be saved."

"For example?"

"Like you."

Kamiya thinks that it is best to look at Yachito when he says this.

It's a pity that the brim of the other party's hood is pressed too low to be realized by this simple act of communicating the heart.

"You say...... Me? ”

But the eight birds were still a little surprised, and the thick black robe swayed slightly in the night wind.

"You're trapped in your dreams, aren't you? In the afternoon, I heard Granny Huai say that the Eight Birds will be practiced by the dead, and will give the soul of the dead the last peace. I can feel that you want to put an end to the dream cycle here. ”

"You're just saying that to get out of trouble, aren't you?"

"Maybe."

Kamiya is still calm, calmly wooing Yachini:

"I forgot to mention just now that one of my Shikigami is the master of the Santu River in the underworld. You can extradite the revenant, and she controls Hades. I think you two should talk about it, maybe even if the dream cycle here ends, you two can give the souls who have sunk here a home. ”
