Chapter 705: Stepping into the Myth
Hachiman Great Bodhisattva, Hachiman God, is the god of war, the god of bows and arrows, and the patron saint of the military family.
This kind of priesthood is all powerful gods. In other words, ordinary demons and monsters are no match for Hachiman. Otherwise, how could he become a war god? Otherwise, how could he become the god of bows and arrows? Otherwise, how could he become a guardian god?
But so far, Hikigaya Hachiman has not shown any ability to fight.
Of course, beneath the surface lies a modern high school student who is powerless and cannot be beaten.
but……
Hikigaya tapped the manuscript in his hand. It was a thin piece of paper, but it contained hundreds of words. When he wanted to know the answer to a question, the words would automatically sort and give him the answer he wanted.
Therefore, he was able to give the answer immediately. He had read the story script written by Li Mo, but that did not mean he could remember all the details.
I looked at the manuscript, which described how to answer. Obviously, Li Mo had anticipated this question. Are you a prophet? How can you imagine all kinds of questions?
Complaints aside, Hikigaya said, "Even as a war god, there are opponents I cannot defeat. When Takama-ga-hara was still there, there were many who could suppress me, defeat me, and kill me. The demon god sealed there was originally an enemy of Takama-ga-hara."
"Wait, wait. Why are you talking about Takama-ga-hara?"
Hikigaya said nothing, letting Sentai think about it. In fact, he was also reading the background of the story about Takamagahara. There was no background about this in the previous story. It seemed that Li Mo had added to it.
But, what does it mean that the Age of Gods disappeared?
Seeing that the profession has a term, I understand it literally. The Age of Gods is the age of gods, but why did the age of gods recede? Considering Li Mo's experience, maybe he experienced it in other worlds?
Xiantai's words undoubtedly distracted everyone's attention. This island was already mysterious, and if it was also related to the legendary Takama-ga-hara, could ordinary people like them really be involved?
Hikigaya Hachiman didn't give them much time to think or ask for time, and said, "Let's go somewhere else. It's not safe here anymore."
He immediately turned around and left, but this time he did not turn around and disappear. Instead, he moved forward step by step.
He didn't even ask if the others wanted to follow. He was just so casual.
In fact, because it is a projection method, Hikigaya Hachiman can see the perspective behind him and see those people following him. Until now, he is the only one who reveals good intentions and knows all the information. In the game, he is an important NPC. If he doesn't move with the important NPC, is he going to find those monsters?
Is there any way to upgrade by killing monsters in reality?
About half an hour later, the group trekked through mountains and rivers to the edge of the forest. They saw a grassland with lush green grass, which was very suitable for raising horses. Turning around, they could see the desert on the other side. Under the scorching sun, it gave people an illusion of heat.
But everyone was stuck here. Because there were huge monsters everywhere, these monsters were called "door gods" and were incredibly powerful. However, there were many strong people who could kill such monsters one-on-one, such as Huamei Wan and Shiyuan.
however……
"There are too many of them." Even as a blind man, Shi Yuan could clearly sense that there were many monsters belonging to the gate gods. It seemed that they were all gathered in the border area, as if they had been secretly controlled by someone, like an insurmountable wall.
"It will be very troublesome to break through. People may die." Huameiwan said.
As a ninja, he could get through easily, but he couldn't guarantee it for others.
At this time, the old monk-like Hachiman Bodhisattva said, "Follow me."
He took a step forward, calmly. But then there seemed to be the sound of a bow and arrow leaving the string, and invisible arrows flew out. Among the people present, only Shi Yuan, who was blind, could see clearly that it was the full picture of the attack - arrows filled with waves.
The others also felt it, vaguely seeing the air being distorted. Then, even those who were not so observant knew what was happening. The heads of those gate gods were pierced by invisible arrows. The powerful attack instantly blew up their heads, and bright red liquid came out of them, and then they fell one by one.
Trees were crushed, dust was stirred up, and suddenly a gap appeared in the wall formed by the door gods.
Hachiman Great Bodhisattva is the god of bows and arrows.
This information flashed through Xiantai's mind. He had indeed witnessed what the God of Bows and Arrows was.
It was as if there were dozens of extremely powerful archers drawing their bows and shooting arrows, knocking down the door gods one by one. Their strength and accuracy were both terrifying.
Shi Yuan also saw this scene. He followed the monk's footsteps and left the forest and crossed the border. However, he was shocked by this scene.
The previous question has been answered.
Hachiman Daibutsu, or Hachiman God, still retains great power.
The crowd followed Hachiman Bodhisattva and moved forward from the forest into the grassland, from the grassland into the desert, and moved forward all the way in the desert.
Yellow sand filled the sky. Although it was clearly inside the island, a strong wind suddenly appeared, blowing up the gravel on the ground and hitting the cheeks. No one present was spoiled and could accept the harsh environment.
When the huge storm wall appeared in front of everyone, it meant that this short forced march had come to an end.
Hachiman looked at everyone and said, "The fact that you have come here proves that you are qualified to know everything."
He walked into the Stormwall.
Everyone looked at the wall in front of them. This wall was made entirely of a storm. And what was a storm?
It's a natural disaster.
Wind is an invisible thing. When a breeze in spring blows on your face, it is pleasant. But when thousands of breezes gather together, it becomes a storm.
Storms can cause tsunamis, blow up century-old trees, destroy houses, overturn farmland, and even blow people up high into the air, and then drop them to the ground with a thud, turning them into meat paste.
Human life is so fragile under the wrath of nature.
But in front of us, there is a wall made of storms.
How exaggerated?!
Is this something that can exist? Isn't this something that only appears in myths?
"What kind of island have we entered..." Xiantai said in shock. Being well versed in religion, he knew that controlling natural disasters was the power of God.
After seeing the wall built by the storm, Xiantai completely understood that they had entered a myth.
"It's time for you to come in." A small gap appeared in the storm barrier, and Hachiman God stood there waiting for them.
Chapter 706: The Great Okuni God
Penglai is the most central area of the island.
Compared to the prosperity of Yingzhou and the polarization of Fangzhang, Penglai is full of traces of human activities, with buildings everywhere.
The celestial beings and Taoists are active here. There is a difference in status between the two, but in essence, they are all seekers of the Tao.
Compared to the original novel, the treatment of the Taoist priests is much better. In the original novel, the protagonists got a perfect ending at the end. The male protagonist of the white-haired husband found his wife. The female protagonist, Sakichi, and the important female supporting role, Gang, became supporters of the couple Huameiwan and Yui.
In other words, even though Sakiri and Hanamimaru have been through so much, she is still obsessed with the couple's relationship. In other words, Sakiri is a pure love warrior!
The same goes for the lever.
The pure love warrior will kill the minotaur in seconds. A guy who is in the underground palace and is used to the movements of the dragon and snake body has such a messy thought.
However, this person's attention is now generally on controlling the puppet clone on the pyramid and interacting with Yukinoshita and others, and occasionally checking for omissions for Hikigaya Hachiman.
——I originally wanted to see Hikigaya Hachiman's embarrassment. But when he got into it, the serious temperament he showed was quite handsome.
That's all beside the point.
Li Mo's remaining attention was focused on the situation in Penglai, because today, there were many more guests in Penglai.
The first batch of guests were Wei Shan and Liu Langtai. Needless to say, Liu Langtai looked like a little giant and his mind was completely undeveloped. He was just like a baby and only knew how to eat and sleep. This was exactly what the Taoists could satisfy. And Wei Shan, since he walked out of the underground palace yesterday, he felt like he was walking on cotton.
When Li Mo met Wei Shan, he wanted to know how strong he was. Because anyone who has read the comics would have this feeling, as the first person to try the Ittoryu of Yamada Asaemon, he should be ranked first in strength, but at the beginning he was killed instantly by Rokurota. Please note, it was killed instantly.
If that were the case, it would be fine. But later on, Yamada Asaemon Shu, who was the second, had a lot of scenes and amazing performances. Shuxian was not as indifferent as Shihe, but admired Weishan very much. As a result, the better Shuxian performed later, the higher Weishan was praised.
Hence, there is debate. Hence, there is curiosity. So many people like to discuss the combat power of characters across works, let alone those in the same work?
After seeing him up close, Li Mo knew what kind of strength Wei Shan had. He had a certain strength. He just lacked a reference - if he were to compare with the immortal, Wei Shan would probably only be able to hold on for a while.
Now, a new reference has arrived. That is the new guest.
This group of new guests came in two batches. The first group was Shihe alone, and the second group was Yazue Diaobei and Denzuo.
The second batch needs no introduction. Yaza Takubei played a lot of roles in the original work. He was the first guy Lian had seen in hundreds of years who suppressed the flower in the "hole" with his own will. As for Denzu...he died in the early stage. As the supervisor of the mountain man Ruhai and even the disciple of Shiyuan, his death became the lubricant between the two and the reason for their change.
Of course, he wouldn't pay too much attention to these two people, what he was paying attention to was Shihe.
Yamada Asaemon tries the third place in Ittoryu - Juhe.
Shihe is an uncle. Why do I say that? Because he always has a scruffy beard and does whatever he wants. If we were to talk about who among Yamada Asaemon is the most troublesome for the head of the family, it would definitely be Shihe.
After Wei Shan became the first, he was the one who had a headache.
"I didn't expect that even you, Shihe, would be caught here."
Penglai is huge, with countless rooms. The tall palace is the residence of the celestial beings, but there are also many shorter buildings that are the residences of the Taoists. And in these residences, there are extra rooms. So, they become guest rooms.
The guest rooms became a gathering place for outsiders.
Wei Shan looked at Shi He who was lying on the ground eating fruit and couldn't help but sigh.
He knew Shihe's ability, so he asked this question. If it came to fighting ability, maybe Shuxian could be compared with Shihe, but if factors other than fighting were taken into consideration, then Shihe was definitely stronger than Shuxian. His ability was too versatile.
If it weren't for his lazy personality, he might not have taken the first seat.
"Because of the strange ocean current. I was planning to have a good sleep on the way back, but when I opened my eyes, I saw the beach. I came back inexplicably." Shihe said.
Wei Shan held his forehead, and his understanding of Shi He's laziness went beyond a certain level, so he sighed and said, "It's normal for you to be sent back by the ocean current when you are not at the helm."
"Wei Shan, but I can be sure. Before going to bed, the direction of the ocean current will be enough to take me back to the ship." Shihe said.
Wei Shan didn't care about this kind of address, Shi He was just like that. Besides, he was old among the Yamada Asaemon, so he could be so casual.
Instead, he cares more about the message in the other person's words.
Shihe's ability is very special, and its expression can probably be summed up in one word: precognition.
When faced with troublesome things, he always knew that his attempts would have consequences. The same was true when fighting. This angle would cut off someone's neck, and this angle would make the blood gushing out not look good... He could always find the most perfect way to deal with it. Because he could see what the future would be like if he did that.
He said that the ocean current was able to send him back, which must have meant that he had seen such a future.
"Then why did you return to the island?"
"The answer is simple. The ocean currents around the island are being controlled. I looked behind me and found that it was the sea monsters on the seabed that were controlling the ocean currents. As long as we kill those sea monsters, we can go back easily. But..."
Shi He scratched his waist and said, "When I arrived at the island, I felt like I was being stared at by a ferocious beast. I had a premonition that if I left the beach at that time, I might die."
One hundred percent death. If that was all, Shi He would not be surprised. But his ability did not give a detailed account of the entire process, as if the middle part was blacked out.
Never had such an experience.
So when the celestial being came, Shi He chose to surrender, because he couldn't beat him. The celestial being's terrifying recovery ability made it extremely difficult to beat him in the future he saw. To win, he had to fight hundreds or thousands of times, and as a lazy person, that was torture.
It's more like this for Shiyuan, that rough guy.
So he came here.
