Gu Mo learned a little about the news these days.

Of course, this does not mean surfing the Internet through a mobile phone. This era does not support such a fast and convenient function. He just called the enthusiastic waitress and asked carefully. The other party answered all questions and wished he could contact her. He was told all about his family and address, which allowed him to confirm the full moon phenomenon that had occurred a few days ago.

It's not false information, and there is no need for those junior high school students to lie about this kind of thing... After all, who are they acting for?

Generally speaking, one night not long ago, people were very surprised to find that a full moon appeared in the sky, and the moonlight was bright and clear... A full moon is naturally not unusual, but the day was wrong that day, and this moon phase should not have occurred. That's right.

Such a thing naturally caused an uproar. After all, it was a completely incomprehensible phenomenon.

However, in order to appease the public, various countries have also sent experts to spread rumors. Oh no, they have sent experts to refute rumors. They quoted various data, charts, and astronomical theories that seemed to come from unknown sources. What they said was very authoritative, but ordinary people would not listen to it. The endorsement by a prominent figure in the scientific community whom I had never heard of finally did not cause too much commotion.

And it was the same after that. The full moon appeared for several nights in succession, and then returned to normal, which seemed to be in line with the official joint statement.

Although people are still talking about such astronomical wonders, and the popularity of the topic these days has always been high, but for the two people who have just come to this era, they are completely unaware... After all, the nights they have experienced, It was already after the full moon vision subsided.

Moreover, they did not pay attention to current affairs hot spots, and they did not even have any interaction with people of this era. Naturally, they were completely unaware of it. If they hadn't happened to meet them, they probably wouldn't have known about it when they went back.

--this era……

——An ancient demon is resurrecting...

Gu Mo basically confirmed his guess, and explained it to Kikyo straightforwardly. Anyway, his current character is a foul future person, and there are no prohibitions. He already knows a lot of things, so naturally he doesn't need to What scruples are there?

The main reason is that the fierce woman is too cruel.

Thinking carefully about the abilities she possessed, Gu Mo felt like he was numb. In a sense, just because the disaster she caused could be solved in the original plot, does not mean that it can be done now... She was the protagonist five hundred years ago. In this modern world, it seems that the truly powerful people, such as gods, Buddhas and monsters, have long since left the world.

Therefore, no one might be able to control this fierce woman, so naturally he would not dare to let her down.

…………

It didn't take long.

Gu Mo had already briefly stated his guess, indicating that this was a sign that Shen Jiuye was about to return to the human world.

"Kamijiuye?" Kikyo pondered for a moment, and then gently shook her head. "I have no impression of the monster you mentioned. And isn't this Tsukuyomi-san's mortal name? How could it be a monster?"

Huh? Doesn't the witch actually know this too?

This was slightly beyond Gu Mo's expectation. After all, after getting along with each other during this period, his impression of Kikyo was that of a knowledgeable and professional master of mysticism, although it was limited to what he had seen in this land and what a witch should master. Knowledge--

She was able to explain to Gu Mo the knowledge of talismans and the profound secrets of Onmyoji, but she couldn't quite understand the magic on the mask, nor could she decipher the complete secrets contained in Rune.

This is also a matter of course.

And it’s not that you can’t see anything at all. After all, one method can solve all methods. After the skill level of mystical knowledge reaches a sufficient level, you can always understand some special features, even if you have never been exposed to the mysterious system. , and can also interpret some of the broken meanings.

Just as Gu Mo's onmyoji and spells are inherited knowledge from another world, there are deviations and differences from this world to some extent, but Kikyo can still understand it well, and she can more or less understand it in a way that she has never done before. After being exposed to the Nordic system, I can interpret the meaning of some mantras.

Although it was just fragmented and fragmented, it was not of much help, but it did prove that the miko's mysterious knowledge was rich and astonishing.

She is so knowledgeable, not to mention knowledgeable. She seems to know almost all the customs and legends in this land. No matter what Gu Mo wants to consult, Platycodon Encyclopedia will easily answer him. doubts.

So now that he heard that Kikyo didn't know about Kami Jiuye, he was naturally a little surprised. This is not a little minion, but a very powerful big monster...

etc……

"Kamijiuye" seems to be the name of the goddess. As for the real name of this big monster itself, there is no way to find out. Moreover, the time period when this big monster was active as "Kamikuya" and then sealed away seemed to be later than Naraku's birth.

That is, relative to the timeline of the Warring States Period, it was less than fifty years ago...

At that time, the miko had already died, so it was understandable that she didn't know anything about it.

After clearing the doubts in his mind, Gu Mo reached out and touched his nose. Facing the puzzled eyes of Platycodon grandiflorum, he started to explain: "Have you heard that the goddess in the sky came to bathe in the hot spring in the world, but was accidentally killed by an ordinary person in the world? He stole the clothes and then staged a series of dog...ahem, epic love stories?"

"...heard it."

Kikyo raised her eyebrows. Regardless of whether this kind of story is true or not, it is indeed widely circulated. But what does this have to do with what the other party said about Kami Kuye?

"Well, the beginning of the story is similar. According to legend, a villager stole the goddess's feather coat, thinking that she would marry him... Then the goddess who discovered that the feather coat was stolen followed the traces and found her way to the village. , guess what happened next?”

Gu Mo pretended to be mysterious and let it go.

However, the miko didn't take this trick, and just said calmly: "Did the goddess take action?"

"...That's right, she just slaughtered the whole village." Gu Mo twitched the corners of his lips, but it was normal for Kikyo to guess it. After all, she had laid the groundwork before, so of course she knew that what she was going to say was about a monster. , rather than a real goddess. In this case, it is impossible to expect her to think in a romantic direction.

Although, this kind of thing is actually not romantic at all——

Regardless of whether an ordinary man steals the clothes of the goddess of heaven and forces the goddess of heaven to marry him...

Or maybe the goddess discovered that the feather coat was stolen and came directly to massacre the village...

Platycodon grandiflorum also gently lowered her long eyelashes, and she was noncommittal about Gu Mo confirming her suspicion. It was not surprising to guess this. Legends cannot be trusted in the first place, not to mention that according to this person, the goddess in the story seems to be A monster.

"What happened next?" she asked softly.

"Later, a passing mage happened to be passing by and sealed her..." Gu Mo thought for a moment and replied.

In fact, the mage who sealed Shen Jiuye happened to be the grandfather of Master Maitreya. From this point of view, he was still a very powerful mage... After all, even if Shen Jiuye had just swallowed the goddess at that time, he might have struggled with the power of the goddess, and He didn't find Tiannu Hagoromo either, and she was indeed a very fierce demon.

Regardless of whether it was a strategy or something, being able to successfully seal away Kami Kuye single-handedly at that time proved that Maitreya's grandfather's magic power was profound.

That was quite a good result... The miko nodded thoughtfully, and then asked calmly: "Then is the Kami Kuye you are talking about a goddess or a demon?"

"In a sense, it's all..."

Gu Mo spread his hands: "It is a monster like Naraku, who can devour the power of others. He found an opportunity to devour the goddess who came to the world, and obtained the immortal body of the goddess. After obtaining the identity of the goddess, she still wants to continue to have the goddess. The treasure, but while she was fighting and devouring it with the goddess, Yuyi had been stolen by the villagers..."

It is precisely because of this that the following series of things happened.

"So Shen Jiuye is the name of the goddess herself?"

Kikyo frowned slightly.

"Probably so, do you know something about Platycodon?" Gu Mo wasn't too sure, but that's probably what happened.

"I just read "Kojiki" and heard of this name..." the shrine maiden said softly, with a strange light flashing in her eyes, "It is said that Tsukiyomi Lord was expelled to the border of Takamagahara, and then demoted to the lower world. It’s for He Yingji…”

Glancing at Gu Mo's expression, she added lightly:

"Or Princess Kaguya, maybe people will be more impressed by this name. Heyingji is the old name of Princess Kaguya."

"That's it, then I probably know..." The young man looked a little weird, but he didn't say anything, but nodded, "You continue."

All he knew was the common version of "The Tale of Bamboo". At most, he was just a rider, and he subconsciously thought that Kaguya was Tsukiyomi's daughter... But now, the miko told him that Kaguya was actually Tsukiye. See the pseudonym that was demoted to the lower realm?

"He Yingji wanted to return to heaven. She first took five treasures, namely: Penglai Jade Branch, Fire Rat Fur, Dragon Head Jade, Yan's Son Anbei, and the Bowl in front of the Buddha. Then she got the Feather Clothes of Heaven, and then she ascended to heaven. God..." The witch said softly, Gu Mo nodded repeatedly from across the table, and simply lay on the table and listened.

The miko seemed to be remembering something, and softly read out the ancient records she had read——

"However, the great sun in the sky has not yet calmed down, and I don't want to see it, so I chase it into the wilderness of night, making the light in the palm of my hand dark..."

"Tsukiyomi Zun thought of his sister and created a human form, which resembles the Amaterasu Great Sun Shu Zun. However, his hair color is silver-gray, like the moon. The name is: Shen Jiuye, which is also the mortal name of Yue Yuzun..."

"Over time, the human form became alive, and after stealing Yue Duzun's divine body, there was no trace of it..."

"..."

"..."

The sun shines in from the window. As time goes by, the angle of the sun gradually changes.

Soft and warm sunlight shone in from the window, and the atmosphere in the cafe was relatively quiet. Only the whispers of the witches were heard. This atmosphere was inexplicably reassuring, and he even felt a little drowsy. It seems that he wants to fall asleep like this.

However, the miko's whispers didn't last long before she stopped. Her eyes calmly looked at the young man lying across the table.

"I already understand the general situation..." Gu Mo straightened up again and nodded, but still looked a little lazy, just pretending to think, "In other words, Shen Jiuye may have been made by Yue Ye Jianzun. A humanoid figure who later had his own ideas and ran away with the bucket?"
