There is Shiyue Mountain.
Why is it called Moon Eclipse Mountain? Nowadays, people can no longer remember it. They can only reluctantly pull out an allusion about Tengu Eclipse Moon. However, Jiao Mo told them that in the past, when viewed from a certain angle, Shiyue Mountain looked like a tengu with its mouth open. When the moon sets, the moon just sinks slowly along the "kiss", as if it is being swallowed into the belly. Because the great rift valley where the Tengu once slept is in the center of Eclipse Mountain. To this day, people don’t know how this rift valley was formed. It looks like the work of an ax that split the mountain, or it was split open by invisible hands. The cracks are neat. But another thousand years have passed, and the wind has polished its edges and rain has taken away its dust. Its shape has changed much compared to when Kanna-kun saw it that year.
Even the crack in the center has undergone tremendous changes.
"Back then, there was a monster who wanted to harm us. He used the Mountain Gathering Technique to bring the two halves of the mountain together."
Kanna-kun pointed at Shizuki Mountain not far away and said lightly.
"There is such a bold and reckless monster," Xie Zhe showed a surprised look, "And the technique of gathering mountains... has been lost for a long time now. I don't know what it was like back then."
"It's also a complicated spell. The monster is very cunning and knows that even mountains can't trap us all. Unfortunately, we were chased away by the huge tengu... It's really embarrassing to think about it now. The purpose of the monster He wanted to reduce our number as much as possible, and it turned out to be what he wanted. One friend sacrificed himself to lure away the Tengu. The other friend was the Impermanence of Six Paths, and designed to make us escape from death. We carry four important magic weapons with us. Weapons, the monster wants them."
"Huh? What was Wu Chang at that time?" Wenying tilted her head and asked, "So it turns out that at that time there was the Underworld Twelve Months... Who was Wu Chang who had great supernatural powers?"
There was no expression on Kanna-kun's hat. He said calmly: "I said, she is dead. She let herself stay in the painting forever."
"In her paintings, all the people drawn in the paintings will never come back again." Jiaomo added.
"...I seem to have heard something. Is he the original Kisaragi-kun?"
Xie Zhe asked this question, but no one answered. However, he probably guessed the answer from Jiao Mo's heavy expression. Until now, few people know her story. She is a doctor, a poisoner, a killer who kills people without blood, and the impermanence of six paths that saves the people. Xie Zhe was lucky. He was still able to hear some past events from Mutue-kun, some fragments of history that had been forgotten by people. In comparison, Han Chang and Wenying both had blank faces, which made it clear that they knew nothing about this. Probably because he didn’t want to talk about this topic anymore, Shen Wujun turned to Jiao Mo and said:
"Speaking of which, the monster did it deliberately when I fell off the cliff. I have long figured out that he didn't want to take the risk himself, so he deliberately pushed me down by tricking me."
"Otherwise, we might not have met." Jiao Mo said jokingly, "I really should have thanked him in person. Unfortunately, he had already been burned to death by the flames of Kalingbinga."
Kanna-kun suddenly sneered: "Hmph... You don't have to regret it. That guy was reincarnated as a human in this life. This makes me feel strange. Logically speaking, he doesn't have the qualifications. Most likely, it was the one from the Death Shadow Pavilion who used it. It doesn’t matter, what did the adult say? His sins have not been washed away - another disaster."
Xie Zhe didn't know why Shen Wujun said the words "ye" and "you". Is there anyone else who shouldn't be an adult in this world? It may be that he is overthinking it and it is better not to ask. If it is necessary to speak, Kanna-kun will do it.
"Is there such a saying?" Wenying blinked, "If you do too many evil things, you can't be reincarnated as an adult?"
Her brother explained to her: "Well, that's true. The years and distances between the six paths vary greatly. Sometimes you only go on another path for a while, and when you return to the world, you may be thousands of miles away from the starting point. This is the six paths. The principle of spiritual veins. Some evil people have suffered in hell for tens of millions or billions of years. They may be reincarnated in other realms for only a few days. Isn't there an old saying that goes, 'One day in the sky, one year in the earth' '? Although the correspondence is not accurate enough, the truth is this. It is also said that there are eighteen levels of hell. Although I don't know if there are any tortures that people often talk about, the so-called time calculation for each level is also It’s different. Sinners with too serious evil karma will be tortured for a long time in hell, and then go to other realms to experience. Those with slightly lighter karma will directly enter the hungry ghost realm, animal realm, and Shura realm, and be washed away according to the severity of their sins. Only then can the soul return to the human realm. There are also those who have accumulated virtue and done good deeds throughout their lives, and can be reincarnated into the heavenly realm."
"You know quite a lot." Kanna-kun glanced at him, "And what you said is true."
"Master taught me well." Han Chang said with a wry smile.
"Has anyone ever come back from hell?" His sister, who was eager for knowledge, asked again, "The common sayings about going up the knife mountain and going down the oil pan are all made up by humans, right? What does the real hell look like? As a person, Impermanence Ghost, you must know that, right?"
"Why are you so interested in these messy things..." Han Chang looked at her with a somewhat complicated look.
"Oh, I'm just curious."
Kanna-kun, who was resting, was retying the straps on his legs. He tied the knot skillfully and said:
"Having said that, everything is not groundless. There are still many people in the world who have strayed into the hell realm through various extraordinary ways and returned to the world with their memories. The Hundred Skeleton Lord I know is One. He strayed into the hell realm, where he spent a terrible time... and developed a pair of extraordinary eyes."
"Ah! We have met before," Han Chang nodded repeatedly, "The sword I have now was generously gifted to me by him. However, he seems to be missing an eye... Oh, I also promised to give him a capable eye. I almost forgot about the eyes."
"That's his own private matter."
Kanna-kun patted his legs, stood up straight again, and waved his hand, gesturing for them to follow. They were already very close to the foot of Eclipse Mountain, and there were several villages scattered here and there. When Kanna-kun was not Kanna-kun, there were not so many people here.
"Hey, wait!" Wenying seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Didn't it mean that Shiyue Mountain was used by a monster to gather the mountain, and the two halves of the mountain were merged together? Why is it that what we know now is still Where are the two parts?”
Kanna-kun tilted his face, as if he was thinking about something. Probably, I was thinking whether it was necessary to explain. In the end, he decided to be a good person and go to the end to satisfy the curiosity of this fox demon girl who had never seen the world.
"I said before that my partner was trapped there. Before we knew it, he tamed the ancestor of the Tengu and established a blood contract without even knowing it. The Tengu took him to break through the closing mountains and the rift valley Reappeared. Of course, this rift can no longer be compared with the previous ones. Coupled with the erosion of time, the two halves of the mountain now look more like two independent peaks."
"It turns out it's him!" Several people exclaimed.
"It seems that he is a descendant of the Wanqi family?" Hanshang recalled.
"He doesn't like those two words."
Kanna-kun suddenly said in a stern tone. All the seriousness before seemed so subdued in comparison, and now he was getting serious. He paused, as if he didn't know why he had such a big reaction. So he took a deep breath and returned to his previous tone. Only this time, several people could clearly hear a bit of sadness.
"He has a name."
Jiao Mo was speechless for a moment. She had expected this scene when the unflattering last name was spoken. Although she has never personally experienced Kanna-kun's subsequent adventures, the Southern Kingdom is such a big place, and it is not difficult for the Sharks who lived in the same era as him to get the freshest and most authentic information. In addition to natural creatures, there are white clouds that see everything. They turn into drizzle and fall on the earth, merge into rivers, and meet the sea, conveying the most authentic stories to their ears.
"Oh, it's so late..." Jiao Mo looked up at the yellow sky, "The sun has gone to the west, we should find a place to rest. Speaking of which, Mr. Shuangyue, you are really slow..."
When she said this, she reminded a few people. Indeed, several days have passed since Kanna-kun sent the letter. Although they had tried their best to follow ordinary spiritual veins, thousands of years had passed, and the towns and roads had undergone unusual changes, as had the geology and spiritual structure. Even if Kanna-kun remembers the path back then, his experience is not enough to apply it now. Rather, he had worked very hard to reach his destination so quickly. If Shigetsuki-kun is coming, he must be riding a tengu, so he won't spend so long on the road like them.
"Maybe they're already here?" Han Chang comforted them, "They just haven't found us yet."
"She didn't come." Kanna-kun said bluntly, "Our Huang Quan Ling has opened up its maximum perception, but it has never resonated. I'm afraid she still has some work to deal with... Thinking of the worst, that adult is not letting go Come here."
"how so……"
"This kind of preparation must also be done."
Late summer is creeping in, but it’s still dizzyingly hot in the South. They walked all day and were naturally sweating profusely. But after Kanna-kun said these words, their hearts felt cold and they could no longer feel the sweat on their bodies. The few people continued to walk, Kanna-kun looked at the villages getting closer and closer, and said:
"These are probably people who moved from other places. Before, the foot of Shiyue Mountain didn't seem to be so prosperous."
"Then...do people here welcome you?" Jiao Mo asked.
"I don't know. I won't live with you anymore, please." He stretched as he walked. This lazy look seems not to care about anything, but also seems to be able to handle everything with ease. "I'll go find out more tonight..."
He suddenly stopped briefly, but only for a moment, and then he walked forward normally. Jiao Mo noticed this detail and asked Shen Wujun if he had thought of something.
"Nothing special, just thinking of an old friend...that you met."
"I have seen?"
"Yeah. The first time I met him was also the first time I came to Moon Moon Mountain. It wasn't the time when I was killed, it was earlier."
"You mean..."
"Yeah. I just remembered that I almost pulled out his knife in the deep sea."
"Almost?" Jiao Mo exclaimed, "You almost became Lord Shuangyue!"
"It's nothing to be surprised about... Now it seems that we have reached the same destination through different paths."
They spoke words that the three people could not understand and walked about alone. The three of them looked at each other, and what came to their minds was the face of the woman who could summon the Tengu.
