Although in real history, the so-called Dajiangshanzhong were just a group of bandits who owned the Dajiangshan and occasionally entered the city to plunder. However, in the Eastern Kingdom, which has a rich culture of ghost stories, people just like to mythologise the rulers, and then Demonize the ruler’s enemies.
For example, Tu Zi is a native living in the mountains, and Liang Miansu Nuo is a local hero who once resisted the government. Later, even some celebrities killed bandits and bandits, and in order to brag about their achievements, they labeled those bandits "ghosts". "The name is used to demonstrate martial arts.
And because the person who killed Shuten Doji was a famous person like Minamoto Yorimitsu, his status naturally increased. After all, if he wanted to brag about someone, the most direct and euphemistic way was to brag about the person he defeated.
In addition, the story of Shuten-Dōji who was "beheaded after getting drunk" obviously has shadows of the story of Yamata-no-Orochi being beheaded by Susanoo no Mikoto. Therefore, the legend of Shuten-Dōji is also connected with Yamata-no-Orochi and has a Characteristics of "Son of Yamata".
At this moment, Shuten Doji used wine as a matchmaker and legends as bait, and took advantage of the special time of the Midsummer Night Festival itself to awaken the innate ghost story of Yamata no Orochi.
Logically speaking, the "Yama-no-Orochi" that was killed in the legend should not appear as an innate monster, because it is actually "dead" in people's minds.
But in recent years, in countless comics, games, and film and television works of Dongguo, Yamata no Orochi has appeared again and again, with various identities, various forms, and various reasons, from legend to legend. recovery.
In this process, people who accepted the invasion of Eastern culture began to subconsciously add many characteristics to this evil god, including "the ability to be resurrected."
And at this moment, at the scene of the Midsummer Night Festival ceremony with the most abundant tags, with the attention of countless people and the extremely special atmosphere, Hyakumonogatari showed their biggest trump card.
The remaining [labels], [elements] and [knowledge] of the previously dead Hyakumonogatari, and even the fire of kaidan that dissipated after the story was told, failed to be integrated into the kaidan, began to gather rapidly and merged. Among the eight ferocious snake heads.
The seventy or so Muzai who had not yet recounted the ghost story recited the passage about the Yamata-no-Orochi in "The Kojiki" in unison, and then gradually became inconsistent. Some people started to talk about Toro Chi in Orochi Musou, and some people mentioned it. There are evil spirits in the Heian capital, and there are also legends about the power of the serpent called the collective negative consciousness of the earth...
The giant snake with eight heads and eight tails was originally born by absorbing the characteristics of the snake-slaying myth of that great Western country. It symbolized the evil god of water that took away the harvest (Ki Inada-hime), but it became a symbol of Eastern culture. With the spread of acg culture, it has also been attached with all kinds of incredible things, as if it is not strong enough to be called Yamata no Orochi.
Powerful strength, terrifying regeneration ability, poisonous blood, these iconic features have been reduced to mere appearances, and all kinds of elements that are synonymous with evil are filling its flesh and blood.
The more complicated and powerful the ghost story is, the more difficult it is to appear, but once it appears, all knowledge about him will become the skeleton that supports its existence.
In today's cultural circle of Blue Star, among the more developed countries, how many of them have never played Dongguo's games, watched Dongguo's animations, or read Dongguo's novels? As a frequent visitor to acg culture, how many people can recognize the existence of Yamata no Orochi?
The candles were extinguished one after another, and each of Wu's bodies turned into snake scales, merging with the giant snake with eight heads and eight tails.
The blazing fire of kaidan was like rekindling a great sun under the night sky. Even over the Takamagahara spread out in front of Tamamo, the sunlight that represented the power of Amaterasu could not help but be dimmed.
The rivers of putrid and poisonous blood washed away this divine realm, turning the originally exotic divine residence into a strange and strange demonic realm.
Dozens of candles that had not yet been lit have all turned into nutrients for Yamata no Orochi. This Midsummer Night Festival seems to have failed. However, Midsummer Night is not over yet. Before July, every day can be Midsummer Night.
In other words, Yamata no Orochi is the result of Hyakumonogatari tonight!
On the scroll floating in mid-air, in the picture of countless ghosts marching, the phantom of a giant snake with eight heads and eight tails appeared behind the ghosts, turning into the background of the scroll that recorded thousands of ghost stories. The most gigantic ghost statue in the painting "Hundred Ghosts at Night".
"Use different settings to squeeze the original setting of Xiantian Kaitan, and then carry out body snatching... can you still play like this?"
Looking at the large ball of strange fire that seemed to be made up of countless flames intertwined but not belonging to each other, Feng Xue instantly saw through the actual principle of this thing. At the same time, he also realized that Dongguo’s large number of cute and girly things The behavior of humanization and personification is probably not just to promote strange stories, but also to prepare for such "seize".
The spirit cannot resist the innate ghost talk, so let the innate ghost talk not be innate enough...
"Hyakumonogatari didn't do nothing..." Feng Xue in the cockpit took a deep breath. As he adjusted his inner breath, he once again transformed into the indescribable and grotesque thing, heading towards the still absorbing [Consciousness] The Yamata no Orochi swung out the Heavenly Demon Fist.
The giant beast with eight heads and eight tails collided with the demon with hundreds of arms and hundreds of legs in an extremely primitive way, but the splashing wind pressure had nothing to blow away.
Tamamo Mae, who had been sutured with a killing stone, had completed the delaying mission. The nine tails wrapped around the few surviving cadres such as Hyakome Oni, and rushed towards the castle tower in the distance.
Seeing this, Feng Xue pressed down with her fingertips, and a button located in the control arm was triggered. Immediately, a disc with a diameter of about thirty centimeters fell off from the wrist of the world. Under the sky where the sun and moon shine together, It made a graceful arc and flew towards the nine-tailed fox running wildly.
Yamata no Orochi had no intention of intercepting this hidden weapon. Instead, taking advantage of Feng Xue's distraction, he waved his tail that looked like flesh and blood was rotting away, and struck it hard on the machine body, which was nearly a hundred meters away. Under the influence of his terrifying size, even in a world with [armor] elements, it would be unbearable.
The interior of the softly lit cockpit has begun to flash red. Most of the patterns representing the body's status on the screen have been red. Various words representing damage have popped up from the monitor of the recording computer one after another. At this moment, the live broadcast room has already Barrages rarely appeared, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath, waiting for the outcome of this confrontation.
The flying disk accurately hit the nine-tailed demon fox. The miserable cry and the torn flesh and blood seemed to announce the death of this demon fox, which was among the top five most popular demons in the Eastern Kingdom.
However, the fire of weird stories that was still burning denied such an idea. As a fluffy and soft golden fox tail fell from the sky, the previous flight of flesh and blood seemed to have turned into an illusion. Only eight tails remained in front of Tamamo as if time had passed. It seemed that he was back to the state before he was hit. He waved his tail and rolled up the rocks to block it behind him, while leaving towards the castle tower at a faster speed.
At this time, Feng Xue had no room to pursue any more. The world, which was undergoing a sixteen-move attack from the Yamata no Orochi, could not withstand the explosive bombardment and exploded into a handful of fireworks amidst bursts of sparks.
Absolutely, there are always people who say that the currency is collapsing when the numbers are high, and that the combat power is unbalanced when the output is large. It’s simply ridiculous.
At the beginning of this book, I was saying that the setting is beyond the sky, the special attack sun god is only ranked third in energy level, how can I talk about the collapse of combat power?
For humans, there may be nothing wrong with this. The Yan Kingdom is now the most powerful country in the world, so powerful that no other country combined can defeat it, but this is only for humans.
But for Kaitan, the combat power is not unbalanced, because any Kaitan who has a house in the Tower of Babel can find a world and develop targeted development for a few years to develop a "block-breaking martial arts". "Sir, times have changed." Weird stories such as "A gun is fast from seven steps away, and a gun is accurate and fast within seven steps" can be used by martial arts masters immediately.
Originally, the information age was a turning point for ghost stories. The protagonist also had various favorable conditions. In an era when information and media were highly developed, he created several ghost stories specifically for Hyakumonogatari. It was equivalent to learning the dragon slaying technique in order to slay the dragon. He took the Dragon Slaying Sword, wore the Dragon Slaying Armor, and even built a whole set of Dragon Slaying Arms. If he still can't push it, then his combat power has collapsed, right?
In other words, if you still feel that your combat power has collapsed, that is completely ignoring the changes of the times.
In the era of cold weapons, the Mongolian cavalry once swept across the Eurasian continent, but now, a machine gun company can suppress them without lifting their heads. The strongest in the old era was easily crushed. Can you say that this is a collapse of combat power? This is called the victory of technology, right?
In the same way, the media has been underdeveloped for decades, and Hyakumonogatari has suppressed the development of other ghost stories in Infinite City by relying on its quantity and monopoly. However, with the advancement of science and technology, it is inevitable to be surpassed.
