Blue and White Society - Chapter 620
[Chapter 610 The Real Weirdness]
After a series of questioning by Yesha to Ibaraki, he finally figured out the truth about the demon world and Hyakki Yako.
The so-called ghost clan refers to robbers and bandits, sloppy clothes and blood on their bodies, who jump out at night screaming strangely to kill people and steal goods. In this era, they are ghosts.
Enjoys the prestige, has a weird image, kills and eats people, and has some ability to call a demon.
Similarly, those who do not kill and eat people are called gods.
Of course, this kind of god is only a small god. The great gods and some weird existences are all metaphysically linked to natural phenomena and only exist in concepts.
In short, it has become a common practice for all objects that are difficult for ordinary people to accept to be labeled as demons and ghosts.
This aspect is ignorant and superstitious. After all, cannibalism is not a joke. Those robbers really have human hearts like ghosts. The villagers are also poor, so what can they grab?
At least Shuten-douji and his gang are really killing people and eating meat, which is enough to shock ordinary people.
On the other hand, yin and yang arts were introduced to Fusang, but they were not aware of their severity, and were used by many people as theoretical support, and then operated into the current situation.
The reason why Onmyoji has such a great power of interpretation is naturally because the emperor himself is a god, and the court’s inaction.
The Heian era was a period of cultural comfort, and the ministers were greedy for pleasure, and they didn’t care about the poor areas. It was too troublesome to exterminate the ghost clan.
If they are human beings, then the people naturally need the court to exterminate them, but if they are ghosts, the court does not need to send troops…
The onmyoji said that pedestrians here are often killed because of evil spirits, so I just have to do it.
Gong Qing thought how good this is, so he was naturally willing to believe in Onmyoji.
When Onmyoji solved several ‘evil ghost incidents’, it naturally intensified.
One or two generations passed, the young people grew up, and the older generation died, and the entire Heian capital completely believed in them.
Over the years, he has been extremely superstitious, and has to divination for good and bad every day.
Onmyoji naturally cannot deal with large groups of evil spirits, but they can cooperate with evil spirits by appeasement.
A samurai kills a man and brings back his head, while an onmyoji kills a ghost with his mouth and some money.
Even if that bandit commits crimes in the same place again, he can say that my boy broke the gourd and let him escape the seal, and I will catch him again.
Anyway, there is something to say.
Abe Seimei said that all ghosts and gods gave him face, which is true, he is equivalent to “the general manager of the green forests of all corners of the country, eight mountains and nine villages”.
It’s a bit of a big brother who takes the lead. On the surface, he is an official, but in fact he has close contacts with heroes from all walks of life.
There are always ghosts and gods who come to visit him blatantly, and he is quite face-saving. He knows more and more ‘friends’, and he enjoys both black and white dishes.
After hundreds of years of operation, superstition has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In Abe Seimei’s generation, from the emperor down to Li Shu, they all believe in it.
That’s why he gained such a great reputation, and even made a scene in the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts.
The so-called Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night means that this group of ghosts couldn’t hold back anymore and insisted on coming to Luojing to make a fuss.
Walking at night is just walking at night, just killing and looting some civilians and untouchables.
His White Fox Lord will come forward to preside over the situation at that time. It is enough to restrain the demons and drive away all the ghosts, so as to preserve the Gongqing’s residential area.
Only then did a group of bandits and robbers make a scene in the capital, and the imperial court didn’t move a single soldier!
It can be seen how well Abe Seimei’s operation is. Gong Qing has completely believed that these catastrophes are all ghosts, and Abe Seimei can maintain the situation and protect them by himself.
It has to be said that the Onmyoji created a kind of order, order robbery, told them the bottom line of the court, taught them how not to arouse the real anger of the court, and mutually benefited each other.
It can be said that whoever the onmyoji says will be unlucky will really be unlucky… Whoever says that he will bump into ghosts will really hit ghosts…
However, it is also true that Abe Seimei said that Shuten Doji was rebellious.
Although the two parties are still in contact, Shuten-douji is so famous that Abe Seimei is no longer taken seriously.
Abe Seimei contacted the bandits from all parties and could no longer suppress Shuten Doji.
In the world of demons and ghosts, a single family dominates, Jiu Tun also loses face more and more, and acts more and more unscrupulously.
So much so that it caused the army to crusade Shuten Doji before.
However, if Shuten-douji is wiped out by the army, the reputation of their Onmyoji will be greatly damaged. Therefore, Abe Seimei had better sell Shuten-douji, instead of conspiring to make a wave of Sakata Kintoki, but also gave it to Sakata. Golden time is a way out.
Jiu Tuntong and his group are familiar with everything in Dajiangshan, such as ghost springs, demon fires, and falling rocks, all they need to do is prepare in advance.
The poisonous miasma will appear in a specific time period, as long as it is introduced to a specific place.
The theory of moving mountains is even more exaggerated. It is just that the original road was blocked, and the army lost its way in the mountains during the detour, and finally came out along the river.
However, after selling such a big benefit, Shuten-douji is still ambitious, but he is willing to help him with some small favors, such as the matter of Ibaraki and Watanabe, and others still go their own way, and even make actions to massacre the village.
He seems to know that as long as he hangs in such a nonchalant manner and does not turn his face completely, Abe Seimei will definitely help him when the army is dispatched.
This time, Abe also told Shuten-doji about the crusade against Shuten, so Ibaraki-doji approached in a girl’s disguise and assassinated Yesha.
It doesn’t matter if the assassination fails, there are only twelve people, and Jiu Tun has three hundred people, so he is not afraid at all.
It’s just that Ibaraki didn’t expect that his escape technique was cracked and he was captured alive on the spot.
Tsuna Watanabe didn’t know many things here, but when I heard Ibaraki Doji say it in detail, he was surprised and speechless.
“Why are you surprised? Don’t you know that they are not ghosts?” Yesha asked.
“Unexpectedly…” Watanabe Tsuna looked at Ibaraki Doji blankly, and it took a long time to say that he really believed in ghosts in the world, but these ghosts were not as powerful as he thought.
“I’m convinced…”
Yesha knew that the thinking of the people here was completely different from his.
They would rather believe that ghosts and gods can be killed by themselves than believe that the other party is not a ghost and god…
I would rather believe that my sword is powerful, or that my blood is powerful, or that I have the blessing of gods.
Even if he was used by Abe Seimei before, Watanabe Tsuna only reduced his fear of some ghosts, rather than becoming atheist.
Until now, after hearing all the truth from Ibaraki-douji, it was a blow to the head, and the world view collapsed.
“The deep-rooted culture makes them regard everything as monsters and ghosts. After all, their ruler is also a god.” Mo Poor said.
“That’s right, if Tsuna Watanabe believes that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, he would have asked me why I can summon food.”
Ye Sha said in his heart, and then asked: “Chief, this Jiu Tun is a bandit, I don’t need to look for him, do I?”
Mo Poor has already understood the situation in this world. Even a ‘super monster’ like Shuten Doji is just a blood-drinking person, so this is basically just an ordinary world.
Of course, this does not prove that there is no containment, the world is so big, who knows where the containment will pop out.
Mo Poor said, “Go out and look at the sky.”
Yesha didn’t know why, but he did it anyway.
He stood in the village, looked up at the sky, and waited for a long time without any movement.
“Chief, what are you doing?”
“Don’t worry, just wait.” Mo Poor seemed busy.
Yesha stood there stupidly watching, Watanabe Tsuna didn’t know what to do, and the villagers didn’t know what the mountain god was going to do.
He stood for half an hour, his body was sore, and Mo Poor’s voice came back: “Head up!”
Yesha quickly straightened his neck, and there was a bang, and a rocket suddenly appeared under the clouds!
It was a pocket-sized rocket, not as tall as he had seen it on TV, and it didn’t have any numbers or words on it.
Even the shape is rather strange, square, more like a cigarette case.
When it appeared, it was already in the state of flame spurt, and it suddenly appeared in the air, as if it was crooked because of the substandard launch, as if it was about to crash.
“Ah!” Not only Yesha screamed, everyone shouted in horror.
Such a fire-breathing monster appeared in the sky, and everyone couldn’t help but shout.
“It’s about to crash!” Yesha said anxiously.
Mo Poor said calmly: “Don’t worry, this is cutting-edge technology. The intelligent program inside can calibrate the route according to the earth’s magnetic field, and can also analyze various data independently. It is an unmanned low-Earth orbit spacecraft.”
Sure enough, the spacecraft soon stopped shaking and rose steadily, getting higher and smaller, breaking through the clouds and making it invisible.
It will automatically enter low-earth orbit, become an artificial satellite, and orbit the earth.
“It can circle the earth three times a day, and it’s none of your business for now, so what should you do.” Mo Poor said.
Yesha didn’t need to go to Shuten-douji, Watanabe Tsuna was also very happy, and he could do business with Ibaraki-douji, so he escorted people back to Kyoto.
Mo Poor stopped paying attention to him for the time being and went to rest.
This is an ordinary world. You can check it with ordinary detectors and slowly determine whether there are any contained objects in other continents. You don’t have to worry about any gods and ghosts.
The unmanned spacecraft will automatically take pictures of satellites. When he wakes up, he can shoot the game character into the machine to check the data, and then he can view and record the information in the “electronic carrier of another world” on the earth. Need that machine to send back.
I saw him and the people in the research department checking the earth satellite map of that world.
After only two glances, everyone exclaimed.
“How? What about the mainland?” A researcher asked in confusion.
Mo Poor was also dumbfounded. Satellite pictures showed that this ‘Earth’ was almost entirely ocean. Except for the two poles, there was only one big island on the ocean, which was Fusang.
Australia is gone, Africa is gone, America is gone.
There is no Eurasian continent that should exist, and there is only one island left!
“what’s the situation?”
“It’s impossible! The people of Fusang know that there is a mainland on the other side of the sea, and there is also the Celestial Dynasty.”
The researchers were dumbfounded, what’s going on?
People in this world all know that there is a celestial dynasty overseas, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com But they looked at the satellite, there is no!
Mo Poor was extremely surprised. He thought it was an ordinary ancient world, but he didn’t expect to find such a big weirdness all of a sudden.
Is this caused by the containment?
Or is this the way the world is?
If this is the case, why do the local Fusang people think that there is a mainland on the other side of the sea?
So many cultures of yin and yang came from there.
Now the picture shows that there is only the sea over there?
Why?
Did everything sink except Fusang?
“It doesn’t make sense. If it sinks, the island won’t be affected at all, and what’s the matter with the tide? It’s too normal. Without land, the water level is wrong. This is not the earth!” A researcher said immediately.
Mo Qiong said that it was right, either the abnormality caused by the containment deleted other continents, or this planet was originally like this, and the reason why it was so normal was that there was some possibility of man-made correction.
“How do we determine which possibility this is?” Mo Poor said.
When this happened for the first time, they thought they had seen through the truth of the monster, but they didn’t expect it to be unimportant, the whole planet is the biggest weirdness.
“If there is only this civilized society, then there are containment objects related to human beings, and they will appear there.”
“Add two poles at most. If Fusang and two poles have other containment objects, then this situation may be caused by another containment object. Conversely, if Fusang still can’t find the containment object, it proves that this world is originally like this !” said the researcher.
Mo Qiong pondered: “Could it be man-made? Otherwise, there is no way to explain the local people’s acquisition of ‘culture from the mainland’.”
“Mo Poor, launch an unmanned lunar lander! We want to see the moon!” said the researcher.
