Chapter 621 The Real Weirdness

After a series of interrogations by Yesha to Ibaraki, the truth about the demon world and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons was finally revealed.

The so-called demon tribe refers to robbers and bandits who are dressed in rags and have blood on their bodies. They jump out at night with strange cries to kill and rob. In this era, this is a demon.

Those who enjoy a reputation, have a strange image, kill and eat people, and have some abilities are called demons. Similarly, those who do not kill and eat people are called gods.

Of course, this kind of god is only a small god. The big gods and some strange existences are all metaphysically linked to natural phenomena and exist only in concepts.

In short, all objects that ordinary people cannot accept are given the title of demons and ghosts, which has become a routine.

On the one hand, people's minds are ignorant and superstitious. After all, eating people is really not a joke. Those robbers are really like demons. The villagers are poor, so what can they rob? At least Shuten Doji and his gang are really killing people and eating meat, which is enough to shock ordinary people.

On the other hand, Yin-Yang magic was spread to Fuso, and it was used as a theoretical support by many people, and then operated into the current situation.

The reason why the Yin-Yang master has such a great right of interpretation is naturally because the emperor himself is a god and the court does nothing.

The Heian period was a period of cultural comfort. The nobles were greedy for pleasure and did not care about the poor areas. It was too troublesome to eliminate the ghosts.

If they were said to be human, then the people would naturally need the court to eliminate them, but if they were said to be ghosts, the court would not have to send troops...

The Yin-Yang master said that pedestrians here were often killed because of evil ghosts, and I would just do it.

The nobles thought how good it was, and naturally they were willing to believe the Yin-Yang master.

After the Yin-Yang master solved several "evil ghost incidents", it naturally became more and more serious. After one or two generations, the young people grew up and the old generation died, and the people of Heian-kyo had completely believed in them. Over the years, they were extremely superstitious and had to tell fortunes every day.

The Yin-Yang master naturally had no ability to deal with large groups of evil ghosts, but they could cooperate with the evil ghosts by means of appeasement.

Samurai killed people and brought back heads, but the Yin-Yang master killed ghosts with just a mouth and some money. Even if the bandit committed evil again in the same place, he could say that my boy broke the gourd and let him escape the seal, and I would catch him again. Anyway, there are many explanations.

Abe Haruaki said that all the ghosts and gods gave him face, which was true. He was equivalent to the "chief of the green forest in the five lakes, four seas, eight mountains and nine villages".

He was a bit like a leader. On the surface, he was an official, but in fact, he had close contacts with heroes from all sides.

There were always ghosts and gods who came to visit him blatantly, and he also gave face. He knew more and more "friends", and he was popular in both the black and white worlds. The ghost world called him the White Fox Lord.

After hundreds of years of operation, superstition has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. By the time of Abe Haruaki's generation, from the emperor to the common people, they all believed it.

So he had such a big name, and even caused a hundred ghosts to parade at night.

The so-called hundred ghosts parade at night was that these ghosts could not be suppressed and had to come to Luojing to make trouble.

Just travel at night, just kill and rob some civilians and low-class people.

When the time comes, he, the White Fox Lord, will come forward to preside over the situation. He will restrain the demons and repel the ghosts to protect the residential area of ​​the nobles. That will be enough. The nobles will naturally continue to believe and support him, and they will not care about the lives of the low-class people.

This is why a group of bandits and robbers made a riot in Kyoto, and the court did not move a single soldier!

It can be seen how well Abe Haruaki operated. The nobles have completely believed that these disasters are all ghosts, and Abe Haruaki can maintain the situation and save them alone.

It has to be said that the Onmyojis have created a kind of order, orderly robbery, told them the bottom line of the court, taught them how not to arouse the real anger of the court, and mutually benefited.

It can be said that whoever the Onmyoji says is unlucky will really be unlucky... whoever says he will encounter a ghost will really encounter a ghost...

However, Abe Haruaki said that Shuten-doji is unruly, which is also true.

Although the two sides are still in contact, because Shuten Douji is so famous, Abe Haruaki no longer takes him seriously.

Abe Haruaki has been unable to suppress Shuten Douji by contacting various bandits. The demon world has become a monopoly, and Shuten has been increasingly unwilling to give him face and acting more recklessly.

So much so that the army had previously attacked Shuten Douji.

However, if Shuten Douji was wiped out by the army, the reputation of their Onmyoji would be greatly damaged, so in that matter, Abe Haruaki still sold Shuten Douji out, conspired with him to trap Sakata Kintoki, but also gave Sakata Kintoki a way out.

Shuten Douji and his gang are familiar with everything in Oeyama, such as ghost springs, demon fires, and falling rocks, and they only need to prepare in advance. Poisonous miasma will appear at a specific time period, and they only need to be introduced to a specific location.

The saying of moving the mountain is even more exaggerated. It's just that the original road was blocked, and the army got lost in the mountains when taking a detour, and finally walked out along the river.

However, despite such a huge benefit, Shuten-doji was still ambitious. He was only willing to help him with some small favors, such as the affairs of Ibaraki and Watanabe. He still did his own thing and even massacred the village.

He seemed to know that as long as he kept hanging on and didn't turn his face completely, Abe Haruaki would definitely help him when the army was dispatched.

This time, Abe also told Shuten-doji about the attack on Shuten, so Ibaraki-doji approached in female clothing and assassinated Yesha.

It didn't matter if the assassination failed, there were only twelve people, and Shuten had three hundred people, so he was not afraid at all.

But Ibaraki didn't expect that his escape technique was cracked and he was captured alive on the spot.

Watanabe Tsuna didn't know many things here. Hearing Ibaraki Doji explain everything in detail, he was surprised and speechless.

"Why are you surprised? Don't you know that they are not demons?" Ye Sha asked.

"Surprisingly..." Watanabe Tsuna looked at Ibaraki Doji blankly, and it took him a long time to say that he really believed that there were ghosts in the world, but these ghosts were not as powerful as he thought.

"I'm convinced..."

Ye Sha knew that the people here thought completely differently from him.

They would rather believe that ghosts and gods can be killed by themselves than believe that the other party is not a ghost or god...

I would rather believe that my sword is powerful, or my bloodline is powerful, or I have the blessing of gods.

Even though he was used by Abe Seimei before, Watanabe Tsuna only became less afraid of some ghosts, rather than becoming atheistic.

It was only at this moment, after listening to Ibaraki Doji telling all the truth, that he was given a wake-up call and his worldview collapsed.

"The deep-rooted culture makes them regard everything as monsters, ghosts and gods. After all, their ruler is also a god." Mo Qiong said.

"That's right. If Tsuna Watanabe believed 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 asked: "Chief, this Jiutun is a bandit. I don't need to go find him, right?"

Mo Qiong has already understood the situation in this world. Even a 'super demon' like Shuten Doji is just a person who drinks blood. So this is basically just an ordinary world.

Of course, this does not prove that there are no contained objects. The world is so big, and the world knows where the contained objects have popped up.

Mo Qiong said, "Go out and look at the sky."

Ye Sha didn't know why, but he still did it.

He stood in the village, looked up at the sky, and waited for a long time, but nothing happened.

"Chief, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry, just wait." Mo Qiong seemed to be busy.

Ye Sha stood there stupidly and watched, 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, and his body was sore. Only then did Mo Qiong's voice come to mind again: "Keep your head high!"

Ye Sha quickly raised his neck and saw a roar, and a rocket suddenly appeared under the clouds!

This was a pocket-sized rocket, not as tall as he saw on TV, and there were no numbers or words on it.

Even the shape is weird, square and square, more like a cigarette box.

When it appeared, it was already in flames. It suddenly appeared in the air, as if it was about to crash due to irregular launch.

"Ah!" Not only Ye Sha screamed, but everyone shouted in fear.

When such a fire-breathing monster appeared in the sky, everyone couldn't help but scream.

"It's going to crash!" Ye Sha said anxiously.

Mo Qiong 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 steadily rose into the sky, getting higher and smaller, breaking through the clouds and out of sight.

It will automatically enter low-Earth orbit, become an artificial satellite, and orbit the earth.

"It can circle the earth three times in one day. It has nothing to do with you for now. You can do whatever you want." Mo Qiong said.

Yesha didn't have to go to Shuten-douji, Watanabe Tsuna was also very happy, and Ibaraki-douji could be on the mission, so he escorted the people back to Kyoto.

Mo Qiong 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 contained objects in other continents. There is no need to worry about any gods, gods, and ghosts.

The unmanned spacecraft will automatically take satellite pictures. After he wakes up, he can shoot the game character into the machine to view the data. The information in the 'electronic carrier of another world' can be viewed and recorded on the earth. That machine needs to be sent back.

I saw him and the people from the research department checking the satellite map of the earth of that world.

After just two glances, everyone exclaimed.

"How is that possible? Where is the mainland?" a researcher asked confusedly.

Mo Qiong was also stunned. 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, there is only one island left!

"what's the situation?"

"This is impossible! The Fusang people obviously know that there is a continent on the other side of the sea, and there is also a Celestial Empire."

The researchers were dumbfounded. What happened? People in this world all know that there is a Chinese dynasty overseas, but when they look at it from the satellite, there is no such thing!

Mo Qiong was extremely surprised. He thought it was just an ordinary ancient world, but he didn't expect to suddenly discover such a big weirdness.

Is this caused by the containment object? Or is this the way the world is? If this is the case, why do the local Fuso people think that there is a continent on the other side of the sea? Where did so much onmyoji culture come from?

Now the picture shows that there is only the sea over there? Why? Did everything except Fuso sink?

"It doesn't make sense. If it sinks, it's impossible that the island will not be affected at all. And what's going on with the tide? It's too normal. There is no land, and the water level is wrong. This is not the earth!" A researcher said immediately.

Mo Qiong thought that was right. Either the abnormality caused by the containment deleted other continents, or this planet was originally like this. The reason why it is so normal is that there may be some kind of artificial modification.

"How can we determine which possibility it is?" Mo Qiong said.

This happened for the first time when they crossed over. They thought they had seen through the truth of the monster, but they didn't expect that this was not important. The whole planet was the biggest weirdness.

"If there is only this civilized society, if there are other containments related to humans, they will appear there."

"At most, add the two poles. If other containments appear in Fusang and the two poles, then this situation may be caused by another containment. On the contrary, if Fusang can never find the containment, it proves that this world is originally like this!" said the researcher.

Mo Qiong thought: "Could it be man-made? Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the locals get the 'culture from the mainland'."

"Mo Qiong, launch the unmanned lunar rover! We want to see the moon!" said the researcher.

...

P.S.: Sorry. There is no moon.
