But there is actually a big difference.
The former is to save the seriously injured, while the latter is to cross the line, which Ling always feels is against the law.
As for what law it is, it is probably the law of the universe, or Lingye’s own law for himself.
When you are in the human world, don't touch the authority of the gods too much. Otherwise, is she really Oshima Reiya? Or is she Gaia?
After hanging up the phone, Ling didn't talk much about the satellite. These things could be put aside for the time being.
"Tian Xiegui, have you heard of the Snow Man?"
Lingye asked the empty study, and the next second Tianxiegui appeared in the corner of the study.
"Miss, which snow man are you talking about?"
"Why, there are several more snow men?"
"Is such that."
The ghosts and monsters born out of these folk legends are often restricted by region. Different places have different legends, all pointing to the same name.
Like "The Snow Girl", it is so popular that although there were many different versions in the beginning, they were all merged together in the end.
The Snow Man is not that well-known. It is just a rural legend, with different versions in different places, and there has never been a unified version.
Therefore, there is no unified image of the monster named Snowman, and the Snowmen in different places are completely different monsters.
"If you are in Hokkaido, a snowman is a spirit that lives in the legendary snow country. If you meet a snowman, just give him some food and he will help you carry the gifts. It doesn't matter if you don't give him anything, he won't attack you."
"In Kyushu, the legend about the Snowman comes from China. You know, Nagasaki in Kyushu has been a trading port since the Edo period, and all kinds of folklore and legends have been influenced by foreign countries. In Kyushu, the Snowman is also a kind creature. When people are lost in the snow and are dying of the cold, he will come out to block the snow and wind for them, and then disappear after the snow and wind pass."
Generally speaking, the Snow Man has a relatively positive image in legends in various places.
“What about in Nagano?”
"Nagano?" Tian Xiegui was stunned for a moment, his expression became not so good, "Nagano's snowman... that's not a snowman, it's an evil creature."
"Evil thing?"
The evil things that people usually refer to are monsters, but Tianxiegui himself is a monster, so what are the evil things that monsters refer to?
"Back then, let me think, it was about five hundred years ago. Nagano was not called this name at that time. I remember it was 'Shinano Province'. Shinano suffered a snowstorm, a very serious snowstorm. You know, it was the Warring States Period, and the Ogasawara clan and the Murakami clan were fighting frequently. Later, the Takeda family from Kai came to fight for the right to speak on this land. The people were already short of food and clothing, and the young and strong were all pulled to fight, leaving only the old and weak."
"During the snowstorm, some people froze to death, some starved to death. No one could be saved in such a natural disaster. The grass roots were buried by the snow, and even a bite of tree bark could not be found. Village after village died. So out of despair and resentment, a vengeful spirit was born, and that was the Snow Man."
The Snow Man is not the vengeful spirit of a certain person, but the vengeful spirit of countless people who died in a natural disaster during an era, died in the snow disaster, died in the war.
"It has hated humans and all living things since its birth. Wherever the snow man passes, even we ghosts have to avoid him. But he should have been suppressed back then."
"By whom?"
"Of course it's a god, Asama-no-kami. Apart from Asama-no-kami, who else can subdue such an evil creature? An ordinary mountain god or land god? No, the snow man is too strong. He froze the people in village after village into ice. Mountain god temples and land god temples were destroyed everywhere, almost sweeping across the entire Shinano."
It is Asama Okami again, the god of Mount Fuji. This god was very busy in the past. But it is not surprising. Nagano Prefecture is located at the foot of Mount Fuji. Judging from the scope, it is indeed within the jurisdiction of Asama Okami.
Moreover, as the mountain god of Mount Fuji, the sacred mountain of the island country, in ancient China, his status was probably similar to that of the Emperor Dongyue of Mount Tai, where emperors often liked to go to offer sacrifices to the gods.
"What kind of god is Asama-no-Okami?"
"Sakuya-hime, her magic power is extremely strong. Apart from Sankiko, there is probably no god in Takamagahara who is more powerful than her." Amayaki said, and suddenly laughed slyly, "Moreover, what is most praised is her beauty, which is even more beautiful than the stars in the sky. Many gods have pursued her... ah, of course, she is not as beautiful as you."
Ling was stunned for a moment by the superfluous second half of the sentence. After she came to her senses, she laughed in anger.
"The second half of the sentence is superfluous. I don't like such hypocritical compliments."
Ling also considered herself an ordinary girl, and she would never compare herself to a god. Moreover, she was only ten years old, she had no figure, and her eyebrows and eyes had not yet grown. At most, she could be described as cute, but how could she be called "beautiful"?
Do you really think she can't look in the mirror?
Tianxiegui nodded in agreement.
But, whether she likes to hear it or not is her business, and the more polite the better. But if she doesn't say it herself, that's Tian Xiegui's own business.
Goddesses are all like that. They say they don't compare, but who knows what they think. Anyone who believes them is a fool.
Tianxiegui is not stupid, he is very smart.
Chapter 281 Nexus Phantom
People around Lake Nojiri were in panic.
A village was turned into a dead place, but the TAC team didn't even find the enemy. No one knew if they would be the next one.
The TAC team issued an evacuation order, and people from surrounding villages rushed out of their homes.
Most people did not go to the nearest shelter. No one could guarantee whether the shelter built underground could block the freezing cold.
Everyone knows that hot air rises and cold air falls. Maybe it will be colder if you hide underground.
Everyone dragged their families to farther places, such as Fukui, Yamanashi, Shizuoka, and some even drove to Tokyo overnight.
At the same time, the Eagle and Airo were patrolling the air non-stop, but they never found any enemy.
"There are no monsters, no movement at all." The mountain wind blew up the snow, and the bad weather made the vision on the plane dim. Noriko kept staring at the radar on the Eagle, but also found nothing.
"But the weather is not right." The speaker was Mu Kaji. In order to provide technical support as soon as possible, he also boarded the Eagle this time.
"Please look at this. This is the weather map of Nagano Prefecture twelve hours ago. The weather is clear. It is impossible for such a large area of dark clouds to gather in half a day."
The gathering and dispersion of clouds follow the laws of nature; there is no reason for them to appear suddenly.
"And this cloud is very complex, with strong energy in it, which interfered with our instruments."
"You mean, this cloud is a monster?"
"No, I mean, the monster may have the ability to manipulate the weather. In this case, we are patrolling under this dark cloud, and our every move is under the enemy's eyes."
Captain Long thought for a moment.
"Are there any stun grenades on the Eagle?"
"Yes. But Captain, using stun grenades here may cause an avalanche!"
It's not possible, but certain. The snow in the snowy mountains is so thick that you can't even speak loudly. The slightest sound can cause an avalanche, let alone a stun bomb like this.
That is a special weapon that can kill people with just the volume of the weapon.
"It's okay. The mountain has been evacuated."
Even if there is a big avalanche, at most it will collapse some houses. Such losses are acceptable.
The Eagle's weapon platform switched to stun grenades, and a round, oddly shaped bomb fell, freely falling from the sky into the valley.
After a fuse delay of about twenty seconds, the stun grenade exploded just before hitting the ground, and a huge sound wave swept across the valley.
It was several times louder than thunder. Fortunately, the speeds of the Eagle and Airo were both above the speed of sound, so the sound waves did not catch up with the planes, otherwise the huge waves would have been enough to disintegrate the planes in mid-air.
Even as far away as Tokyo, the thunder could be heard.
"I say, Kiji, next time when you make weapons, you can consider making them less powerful." Yoshimura said with lingering fear as he looked at the snow-capped mountains that looked like galloping horses and cascading waterfalls.
Although I knew there would be an avalanche, I didn't expect it to be so complete. The entire snow mountain seemed to be boiling.
But at the same time, the huge monster hidden under the snow was indeed exposed.
"It's a monster! A monster has appeared!"
It was a monster whose appearance was hard to describe. Its blood-red or even glowing red eyes were particularly eye-catching. Its body was blue-green with white fur. Its head looked like a spider, and a bit like a monkey. It had two pairs of curved hooks on its shoulders, which were not sure whether they were weapons or accessories.
At first glance, it looks a bit like a monster in mythology, but also has the strange features of an alien creature.
At the foot of the mountain, Lingye and Tianxiegui also saw this scene.
Just now, a stun grenade exploded in the mountain stream. Fortunately, the speed of light is faster than that of sound. Before the sound wave hit, she saw the exploding mountains in advance and roughly realized what happened, so she quickly took Tian Xiegui and hid in the secret realm.
A minute later, when she came out of the secret realm, the ground she was standing on had completely changed. The land had turned into a snowy field, a vast expanse of white.
Ling was also stepping into the void, with a thin layer of light curtain under her feet.
Because the original snow was no longer suitable for standing. The avalanche that slid down from the top of the mountain covered the snow six or seven meters thick, and the layers of snow waves were like mud and rock flows, still rushing.
Snow foam was flying in the air, covering the sky and the sun, and nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
"It was so dangerous. The weapons of the TAC team were really weird. I almost got killed."
Tianxiegui agreed with the first half of the sentence. Human beings’ weapons today are indeed strange.
If you say it's amazing, hitting the super beast is like setting off fireworks; but if you say it's not amazing, the endless stream of creative ideas are breathtaking.
However, Tianxiegui did not comment on the second half of the sentence.
Almost exploded?
Who is it?
A roar was heard from the collapsing snow mountain.
"That's the Snowman?"
Facing Lingye's question, Tian Xiegui didn't know whether to nod or not. It should indeed be a snowman, but how could a snowman be so big?
"Probably, but it has changed so much that I can't recognize it."
In the past, the Snow Man would attach himself to humans, but this time the Snow Man is attached to an alien creature, so of course it is different. Now it is a real monster.
The battle between the TAC team and the monster has begun. The Eagle dropped incendiary bombs. After the ammunition exploded, the thermite attached to the monster's fur and burned fiercely. Even the blizzard in the mountain stream could not extinguish the flames.
"Is the snowman afraid of fire?"
Tian Xiegui shook his head.
Although it is common sense that ice and snow are afraid of high temperatures, the Snow Man is not a monster in common sense. The war disaster coincided with a heavy snow disaster, and countless people died as a result. He was born out of despair. He is the embodiment of the curse and a phenomenon.
Sure enough, after the thermite burned out, the snow mountain was charred, but the monster remained normal, even its snow-white hair was not burnt.
"The Snow Man is not afraid of such fire. Fires that burn ordinary things have no effect on him. What he fears is the fire of humanity."
"Humane fire?"
"That was what happened to the great god Asama back then. At that time, the war had ended and the world was at peace. During the celebration of a good year, the great shrine held a grand festival with the faith of thousands of believers. The great god used this to seal away the evil."
Tianxie Guidao is a thousand-year-old monster. The biggest advantage of living a long life is that he knows a lot.
The good harvest in Daqing is the time of heaven, the divine domain of Asama Okami is the geographical advantage, and the peace in the world and the well-being of the people are the harmony of people.
With the right time, right place and right people, the evil spirit surrendered and was suppressed underground.
But that’s not the case now.
