Chapter 1283 Signing a Contract with Humans, Tengu’s Choice
Although the original image of Tengu originated from China, after being introduced to the island country, it has evolved greatly over a long period of time.
But considering the source, Tengu does come from Chinese mythology.
If there must be a so-called bloodline atavism, it would be the transformation of the Tengu from its current appearance to the appearance of the Tengu in Chinese mythology.
However, in the Chinese mythology system, Tengu does not seem to be famous. If there is something impressive about it, it is probably "Tengu Eclipses the Moon".
It sounds powerful, but for mythology, it doesn't seem to be much.
Rumors say that Erlang Shen Yang Jian's Roaring Heavenly Dog is also a Heavenly Dog, but I don't know if this is the case.
There is still too little information that can be learned based on his identity. Although it has devoured the memories of many people, there is still only a very small part about that country, especially in terms of history. Apart from those that have been compiled and revised, Basically can't find anything useful.
"I have no idea."
Tengu shook his head. He could only sense that there was something he needed in that place, but what he needed and why he needed it, he had no answer.
"If nothing else, that should be it."
Shuten Doji shook his head and looked at the Tengu with a bit of envy.
Although Tengu is not well-known in China, and its status in the Chinese mythology system is not high, far from being comparable to Kunpeng, it is undoubtedly much more powerful than Shuten Doji in the island country's mythology system. .
If the thing that attracts Tengu can really make him return to his ancestors and become a Tengu in the Chinese mythological system, then both his strength and potential will definitely increase greatly, and he will definitely surpass him.
It's really a pity, why does he have no direct relationship with the Chinese mythology system.
We have already learned so much from it, so why not refer to some more prototypes?
After sighing, Shuten Doji said calmly to the Tengu.
"If you're not in a hurry, I suggest you wait."
"China is different from an island country, and it is different from any other country in the world."
"I don't know where in China the thing that attracts you is, whether it is in the city or in the wild; but China will never let a first-sequence level mutated beast break into their country."
"If you break in unexpectedly, you are likely to die."
"You have just stepped into the boundary of the first sequence. In a battle of the same level, you have no advantage."
"Not to mention that China's first sequence is basically blessed by God-given things."
The power of China has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of every country in the world. It is the only country that can preserve all cities after the spiritual energy is revived.
Although some cities were destroyed due to the beast tide, those cities were also picked up again after the beast tide. Compared with the difficulties faced by various countries around the world in facing mutated creatures, China clearly had an absolute advantage in this war.
There are dozens of first-sequence level superpowers. Only the sword god Sakura Ming in the entire island country has a god-given gift. Basically every first-sequence level in China has one, and they were also the first to form a spiritual energy bureau. Even a country that combines supernatural powers and technology.
In terms of strength, China today has surpassed the lighthouse.
Perhaps the lighthouse also has a similar number of first-sequence level superpowers, but only a few are actually used by the lighthouse. Most of them dominate the land and establish their own bases.
Of course, according to the information from the minds of the people he swallowed, the real lighthouse is actually still peaceful, and the living standard has not only not declined compared to before the spiritual energy was revived, but has even become more superior because of the special abilities brought by the supernatural powers.
war? Mutant creature? die?
These things are just the experiences of the civilians on the periphery. For those elites and those standing at the top of the lighthouse, no matter how the world changes, it will not affect their safety.
But even if the lighthouse is still strong, it is obvious that protecting the elite is a helpless choice because the strength is not enough to protect everyone.
If they had the ability to shelter, they would certainly not choose to protect only a small number of people.
Although China also failed to achieve it, they have done the best they can. From these two, we can see the difference between the two countries.
If the thing the Tengu needs is in the lighthouse, he will not dissuade the Tengu, because he knows that with the strength of the Tengu, there is no threat at the lighthouse as long as he does not enter the inner circle where the elites are.
But unfortunately, what Tengu needs is in China.
Because of the tragedy that happened in Huaxia Haicheng, Huaxia attaches great importance to the safety of coastal cities. Basically, it has all kinds of new weapons, and even has more powerful formations like Yin Yang magic.
Even the mutated sea beasts at the first sequence level can compete with it for a short time.
As time passed, China's support almost arrived.
As for flying there, it may be possible in other countries, but in China, it is very difficult.
He didn't know the specific reason, but in the memories of those he devoured, there were Chinese cities' "no air" rules. In these memories, there had never been a situation where humans in a certain Chinese city were attacked by mutated flying beasts.
Maybe it's some kind of formation.
Just like Onmyoji, in Shuten Doji's eyes, formations are similar. If they have deep enough knowledge, they can do whatever they want.
Just like him, the onmyoji Ampere Seimei is a legendary figure in the mythology of the island nation.
Therefore, in Shuten Doji's eyes, the current Tengu's trip to China is basically a narrow escape from death. It is difficult for him to imagine how he can get what he wants.
"I remember that there are contracts and the ability to control beasts among humans, just like shikigami."
The Tengu was silent for a while, and then gave Shuten Doji an answer that made his eyes widen.
"You want to be a human shikigami?"
This is no joke. You must know that in the myths and legends of the island country, Tengu has never become a human shikigami.
They have a high status in the world of monsters and are the apex existence of monsters. In some places, they are even worshiped by humans for peace and good luck.
He actually chose to become a human shikigami for the sake of a mysterious feeling. He couldn't believe that this was what a tengu would do.
"If I can get that thing, I won't object to signing a contract with a human and becoming his shikigami."
"But the premise is that it won't affect my potential."
In myths and legends, there is not much enmity between Tengu and humans. Some legends describe plots of Tengu helping humans solve difficulties, teaching skills or giving guidance, and some legends describe the harm and threats caused by Tengu to humans.
But this is just a matter of different personalities among different Tengu. Just like humans have good and evil qualities, there are also those in the Tengu race who are friendly to humans or have malicious intentions.
He is the middle man among them. He doesn't have much goodwill or malice toward humans, so he doesn't resist becoming a strong human shikigami.
That is to sign a contract with the other party, or become the other party's beast.
He doesn't like fighting, and he neither agrees nor opposes Shuten-douji's attempt to recreate the legendary Hyakki Night Walk. The reason why he has always been with Shuten-douji is just because he has been like this since he was born, and he is used to it.
Now that he has something he wants to do, he will naturally not stay here anymore.
"Since it's your choice"
Shuten Doji looked at the Tengu deeply, then shook his head slightly.
"Be careful on the road."
Tengu had already talked about it to this extent, even saying the words of becoming a human shikigami. Even though he was still reluctant to let Tengu go to China, he didn't know how to dissuade him.
Of course, it is not that he is reluctant to let his friend go away. In the Youkai's heart, although the emotion of friendship exists, there is no deep friendship between him and the Tengu.
He simply felt sorry for the lack of a strong person in his plan of "Hundred Ghosts at Night".
But now the island country is no longer what it used to be, and its belief in mythology has hit rock bottom. It is still unknown whether there will be any more monsters coming.
The Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts has also become a fantasy about the future.
Whether or not the Tengu should be kept is not that important here.
What's more, even if Tengu becomes a shikigami of a human in China, after the last life-saving grace, if he wants to ask him to help with something, he will definitely not refuse.
As for the humans he has contracted with, there is no possibility of rejecting them. After all, the only people he will make enemies are the people of this country.
But these are all things that happen later. Everything is based on the Tengu reaching a contract with a strong man in China and becoming a shikigami of a certain strong man. As a price, he helps him find the treasure that can transform his bloodline and let him complete the transformation of his bloodline. on the basis of.
If he is injured or even killed by a powerful mutant creature in the sky or ocean before he reaches China, then what he is thinking about now is meaningless.
Although the strength of the first sequence is powerful, there is no shortage of mutated creatures of the first sequence in the ocean and sky, and even the terrifying existence of Kunpeng, who is extremely powerful, was born.
If Tengu is unlucky and encounters a first-sequence-level mutated creature on its way to China, there will be nothing more to say.
"Ok, I know."
"I think there should be no problem."
In response to Shuten-douji's reminder, Tengu nodded, and then after saying hello to Shuten-douji, he spread his wings and flew in the direction of China.
The feeling of calling in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. If it wasn't for the control of reason, and he wanted to say goodbye to Shuten Doji, he might have flown to China immediately the moment he broke through the first sequence.
"Tengu"
Shuten Doji looked at the retreating figure and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He just picked up the sake gourd at hand and drank the wine in big gulps.
Speaking of which, he had almost drunk the wine turned from the corpses of humans and mutated creatures that he hunted before, and it was time for him to hunt some more.
But as for humans, we can only give up for the time being.
With only a small number of survivors, Luo Shui Sanxian and Ling regarded each one of them as the future of this country. If he dared to hunt, they would dare to hunt him all over the island country.
Not for ordering wine.
Even if they want to brew, they will have to wait until they develop and the number of people increases; but with the speed of human reproduction, it will probably take a long time.
Therefore, it is better to hunt those mutated sea beasts, since they are numerous and weak anyway.
Late at night, the moon hangs high in the sky. The moonlight shines through the clouds and gently shines on the earth, covering everything in a light silver gauze.
In the night sky, the stars shine with faint light, and complement each other with the moon, forming a beautiful and quiet picture. The breeze blows, and the leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound, as if nature is whispering, and this tranquility The night complements each other.
Yecheng, a third-tier small town before the revival of the Chinese spiritual energy, maintained absolute peace due to the existence of the mountain god Li Chuan after the revival of the spiritual energy.
God is not a word that can be called casually in this era. Often only extremely powerful humans will be called gods.
Like the three gods of the island country and the thunder god of the lighthouse, they are all the first in their respective countries, possessing terrifying strength that ordinary people cannot imagine.
But in China, not everyone can have the title "god", even those in the first rank.
Even Qin Tian, Huo Yu, and Chen Bing, who were as famous as Bai Di at the beginning, only had the title of "Emperor".
Why?
Because China has a real god!
A god of nature who has truly stepped into the realm of gods, wields power, controls all natural phenomena, and is almost omnipotent!
They have a real god, and they have witnessed the visions of heaven and earth caused by this god when he stepped into the realm of gods, and they have also enjoyed the benefits these visions have brought to them.
Under such circumstances, if you are not strong enough to be recognized by everyone, no one will call you "God".
Li Chuan was awarded the title of "Mountain God" under such almost impossible conditions. Although there was an element of his supernatural power in it, it also showed his strength.
If Li Chuan, who was under the first and second spiritual energy tides, had to be in Yecheng to have the strength of the first sequence, then now, his strength has exceeded the limit of the first sequence.
The tide of spiritual energy, the strengthening of [natural authority], and the breakthrough of the realm of gods are not only enjoyed by humans and mutant creatures, but also by everything in nature, including mountains, rivers, and oceans, and even what they receive The benefits are far greater than those of humans and mutated creatures.
As a mountain god integrated with the Yecheng Mountains, Li Chuan's strength naturally became stronger because of the gifts he received from the mountains, but he rarely showed it.
