Chapter 38 Fighting the Orochi Alone
Although Yamata no Orochi adheres to the principle of "picking up the soft persimmons", it ultimately underestimated the strength of human practitioners, so it was not all smooth sailing in Japan because it encountered resistance from the Japanese aborigines.
Japan originally had its aboriginal people, namely the "Jomon people" and the "Yayyo people". They were a branch of the ancient ancestors and belonged to a relatively weak race. After being expelled by the powerful race, they were linked by fate. Due to the situation, they joined forces to move together on the way. As a result, they moved all the way to the sea, and finally moved to a relatively remote seaside. From then on, the two tribes lived in peace and thrived here. Some lucky people happened to land on Yingzhou Island, one of the three overseas sacred mountains, and lived and multiplied in this fairyland.
Later, the great calamity of heaven and earth came, the war between the lich and the demons, the ancient world was shattered, and a fragment fell from Yingzhou, and a small number of "Jomon people" and "Yayyo people" who lived on this fragment also landed in the human world. After all, they were ancient ancestors, and they still had some magical powers. Although they could not compare with the witch clan that ruled the earth, they tried their best and still preserved some clan members in this disaster.
However, because there were too few members of the two tribes, in order to maintain the continuation of the race, racial stereotypes were abandoned. After the sacrifices were made to heaven and earth, the two tribes practiced intermarriage. As a result, a miracle happened. I don’t know why. It may be that the bloodlines of the two groups are more compatible, or it may be that heaven has blessed them, or it may be that their luck has not run out after all. Through intermarriage, their fertility has been greatly enhanced. The number of members within the clan has also increased significantly.
However, in the balance of heaven, there are gains and losses. Although the population has greatly increased, the people born from the mixed blood are no longer "Jomon people" or "Yayyo people", but a brand new race. Although this race's physique and lifespan are not as good as those of its ancestors, it has inherited the talents of the "Jomon people" in weaving ropes for sacrifices and driving ghosts and gods, and the "Yayo people" in casting "barriers" that can hide themselves and trap enemies—— Milo method" talent, the overall strength has been enhanced. (If Yunlong had not appeared, this ability should have been the prototype of Onmyoji.)
Because this is a brand new race, the people of the two tribes based their characteristics of "short stature, good appearance, and obedient voice" and their unknown origins (I don't know why intermarriage will produce such magical changes), so Call them "Japanese people".
After the emergence of the two tribes, they gradually took over the power of the tribe with their stronger comprehensive ability than their ancestors, and finally annexed (or can be said to be integrated with) the two tribes. However, their ambitions were also aroused, and then they began to conquer Japan and its Activities around. After endless years of development and conquest, its power once spread all over Japan (Japan before the Battle of the Gods and the Broken World was hundreds of times larger than it is now). Its strength reached its peak, with eight million tribesmen, and its spiritual core was the Holy Land. Gao Tianyuan", known as the "Eight Million Gods of Gao Tianyuan".
However, prosperity must inevitably decline. This is the way of heaven. After the glory, the Japanese people also went downhill. After the Battle of Fengshen, the world was broken, the aura of heaven and earth was reduced, and it could no longer support the survival of such a large population, and it was surrounded by the vast sea. The Chinese mainland has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It has countless masters and hermits. It is also the preaching place of major sects and talented people, and it does not allow others to get involved. However, there is not enough land in the sea, and there are many ferocious monsters and powerful magic beasts. Immortals are hidden in it. Although the Japanese have a large population, they lack top masters. The highest cultivation level is only at the level of immortals, so the Japanese cannot develop here.
The harsh external environment and the decay of the lives of the internal tribesmen gradually weakened the originally prosperous Japanese people. Their hearts were scattered, their population decreased year by year, and their cultivation level continued to decline. Finally, thousands of years ago, they encountered the Japanese who came from the demon world. The Yamata no Orochi attacked and suffered a devastating disaster.
Yamata no Orochi was so accomplished that even when the Japanese were at their peak, there was no one who could compete with him, let alone after they were greatly weakened. However, even a broken ship has its flaws. After all, the Japanese people were once powerful, and they have some strength after many years of savings. Yamata no Orochi wants to snatch and absorb Japan's spiritual veins, and it will undoubtedly take away their lifeblood. How can there be no reason to fight to the death?
As a result, after a great battle, the Japanese were defeated and all the masters were killed; Yamata no Orochi was also seriously injured under the attacks of several Japanese artifacts that were desperately used by several Japanese masters. Yamata no Orochi was born in the demon world and was used to seeing bloodshed; he was also of the bloodline of ancient monsters, so he was naturally cruel, cruel and ruthless.
After it was injured, in order to eliminate the root cause, it actually suppressed the injury and forcibly used its natal magical power "Swallow Heaven and Earth" to devour all the Japanese people. However, the forced use of this magical power made it even more injured, and even the Japanese spiritual veins had no time to absorb it. , I found a place to retreat to recover from my injuries, and this place is now at the bottom of Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji is a volcano, with magma flowing at the bottom and connecting to the center of the earth. The fire energy is extremely abundant. Regardless of attributes, in terms of spiritual power alone, it is ranked first in Japan. Yamata no Orochi also has the attribute of fire, so he chose to retreat here to heal his injuries. However, because his injuries were so serious, this retreat lasted for tens of thousands of years. Then thousands of years ago, Xu Fu, a warlock from the Qin Empire, brought three thousand boys and girls overseas to search for the elixir of immortality. They discovered the Japanese island, and because their ship was damaged and could not return, they stayed here and multiplied. So far, the Japanese nation has been formed. (Of course, there are other details behind this, which will be discussed later.)
At this time, at the bottom of Mount Fuji, there was a cave where Yamata no Orochi was.
Yun Canghai looked at Yamata no Orochi, his originally calm face was a little solemn, but there was still a hint of excitement. He said to Jianzhen: "Brother Xian, I didn't expect that there would be such a giant monster in this overseas barbarian place. Look, Just when he is sleeping, the aura exuding from his body is so powerful that it makes me feel oppressive, which shows his high strength."
He looked at Jianzhen's calm face and said: "In terms of understanding, my eldest brother may be a little behind you; but in terms of strength, of course I won't give in, and I will do my job! Look, it hasn't moved yet, but I estimate that outside we The 'Three Realms and Eight Directions Vajra Embryo Barrier' cast by it has been sensed by it, and I'm afraid it will wake up soon.
I will deal with it first in a moment, and you and the disciples will sweep the formation for me. If I can't do it, then come together. This time, no matter what, this source of evil must be eradicated or sealed! I mean, you know? "
When Jianzhen saw Yun Canghai speaking to him with such a firm look and tone for the first time, he couldn't help but feel excited. He knew that Yun Canghai had the body of a dragon and a snake, and also belonged to the demon clan. He also guessed that the reason why Yun Canghai wanted to take the lead was because he had never encountered such a powerful demon, and it was also a snake demon. This inspired him to be competitive. heart of.
However, judging from the momentum of this demon, it seems that it is not something Yun Canghai can handle alone. Jianzhen is worried that Yun Canghai will be seriously injured in this battle and endanger his life. "Forget it," Jianzhen thought, "if we really come to a critical moment, we must take action immediately no matter what, and join forces with Brother Yun to fight against the enemy."
He didn't know that Yun Canghai was actually just a clone of Yun Long. Even if it was lost, it would not cause fundamental damage to the main body. Therefore, Yun Canghai was not afraid of death at all, but was excited to fight against such a powerful opponent.
