Chapter 73 The truth of the world (?)
Gao Banlongji, who was sitting by the fire, frantically recalled the relevant mythological knowledge in his mind, trying to guess the identity of the strong man in front of him, so as to gain the upper hand in the subsequent communication.
Thinking of the wine vessel that the other party always kept in his hand, Gao Ban Longji decided to start from there first.
If we talk about gods related to wine, the first ones that come to mind are the three orthodox wine gods: Omononushi, Konohanasakiyahime-no-Mikoto, and Ōyamakagami.
First, we eliminate Konohana Sakuya Hime-no-Mikoto, who is a female god.
Is it Dashanzha God? Impossible! Dashanzha God is the patron saint of Kyoto. This is the area of Tokyo. The probability of him appearing is too low!
So it is very likely to be Omononushi God?
The god Omononushi, who is enshrined at Miwa Shrine, used rice brewing technology to brew the prototype of Japanese sake.
Wait, it could also be the mythical alcoholic!
The more Gao Banlongji thought about it, the more confused he became. He was unable to extract any useful information from the scarce data.
As for the name "Yu Laogong", Takaoka Ryuji identified it as a pure pseudonym at a glance.
Because these three words are all used to express noble status.
"Yu" means respect, while "lao" and "gong" are respectful titles for wise elders and noble people in ancient times respectively.
As if he could see that Takaoka Ryuji was worried, Mr. Yu knocked on the floor to attract his attention and comforted him casually.
"Don't overthink it, young man! It doesn't matter who I am!"
Takashi Ryuji looked at the other person's eyes in astonishment. He didn't expect that his thoughts would be seen through by the other person in an instant.
He placed his hands on his knees, bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
"Thank you for your advice! Lord Yu! I have a question..."
Takasaka Ryuji quickly sorted out his thoughts. There were too many suspicious points around him at this moment, but the two most important things for him must be to leave this place and to find out the news about Ryomen Sukuna!
"Just say it."
"Thank you very much! I would like to ask you for your advice! Is this the legendary Yellow Spring?"
Mr. Yu drank the wine in his hand.
"No, this is the underworld!"
"The netherworld is one of the layers of the world created by the two goddesses when they were bored."
"It is also a lawless area in the middle of the world, and the residents are all old guys like me who have nothing to do!"
"Excuse me, can you tell me more about the mezzanine of the world?"
Hearing the new term, Gao Ban Long Er perked up and dared not miss any information.
You must know that the person in front of you is most likely a real god, and any information he reveals is priceless!
Mr. Yu kept looking at Gaoban Ryuji. After a while, when Gaoban Ryuji was a little uneasy, he finally chose to speak.
"Since you are a little fellow from the human world, it is fate that we meet. Let me tell you the truth about the world."
"I'd like to hear more about it!"
"As most myths record, this world was once divided into the legendary realm of gods, the human world, and the underworld of the dead."
Mr. Yu looked out the window through the wooden house as if he was pointing at something.
"Until one day, due to unknown reasons, the spiritual power of the human world began to flow into the void. Since the three realms are connected, the loss of spiritual power in the human world will inevitably affect the other two realms. After discussion, the gods decided to cut off the human world!"
"Due to the limited resources of the three realms, the gods decided to abandon those who are not strong enough to stay in the human world. Of course, there are also those who are powerful but voluntarily stay in the human world."
"The abandoned guy knew that he could not adapt to the weakening human world, so he found the legendary monster sage."
"The original form of the Yokai Sage is a realm Yokai born from the concept of space. Thanks to her racial innate ability to understand space, she worked together with legendary fairies and other space masters to successfully find a new way out and made it public."
"That is to create a world sandwich between the human world and the other two worlds, so as to absorb the resources needed to maintain the two worlds."
"The world layers of [Gensokyo], [Hall of Valor], [Avalon], etc. came into being."
"Then the emergence of the World Interlayer Theory attracted the attention of a large number of gods. They used this theory to create a large number of secret realms. On the one hand, they helped their followers, and on the other hand, they used it as a prelude to their return to the human world one day."
"The Twin Goddesses also created the underworld based on this theory."
After a moment of silence, Takashi Ryuji decided to ask the question he had always had. From what he had observed at the meeting, the priest did not seem to know more.
If this history really existed, the shrine, which has been passed down to this day, should have relevant information.
"Then why is there no relevant information passed down around the world?"
"Nothing is difficult for the [Book of Years]."
"years……"
Just as Takaoba Ryuji was about to continue asking, he saw Mr. Yu shaking his head and realized that he was being a bit abrupt. There must be a reason why the other party didn't want to continue talking.
"I'm so sorry! Thank you so much for your guidance!"
"This is nothing, just some common sense that everyone knows!"
"Then may I ask both sides..."
Before he finished asking, he saw Mr. Yu put the wine cup on the ground, waiting for the wine to calm down, and then he brushed his hand across the cup.
The image of Tetsuya Yamagami gradually emerged from the wine.
Gao Ban Long Er looked at this "divine" technique, his eyes widened, and looked at Yu Lao Gong in disbelief.
What is the principle behind this?
But Mr. Yu came straight to the point.
"I understand your concerns. I can tell you directly that you have been targeted by that guy."
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the opponent's first choice, and this little flame devil is the second choice. If you don't quickly get rid of his backup, you will sooner or later become the host of the opponent's possession!"
Flame Imp...what a crude way of naming...
“Why am I the first pick?”
"Although the Flame Imp has obtained many fingers, he actively collected them for the sake of power!"
"You are different. You have attracted the attention of Ryoumen Sukuna because of your cultivation talent. In his eyes, the little flame ghost is just a springboard to restore strength. The real target is you!"
Hearing this, Gao Ban Longji widened his eyes and suddenly recalled the scene of that day.
Indeed, that finger followed him all the way home in an unknown way, and actively attacked and entered his body at night!
He really looks anxious!
On the contrary, the finger in the prison video was very quiet facing Yamagami Tetsuya!
Is that so? It all makes sense now!
Thinking that he might be possessed by another's body at any time, Gao Ban Longji felt a strong sense of crisis and couldn't help feeling anxious.
"My Lord! Is there any solution?"
“Too impatient!”
"Um?"
Mr. Yu picked up a bottle of wine from the side and drank it himself, repeating what he had just said.
"Too impatient, young man!"
As if seeing Takaoka Ryuji's concerns, Mr. Yu stood up, took out a double-edged sword from the cabinet behind him and placed it in front of Takaoka Ryuji.
"If you are willing to believe me, then use this sword to pierce the flame imp's body, and all your troubles will be solved!"
Gao Banlongji looked at the sword in front of him with a serious expression.
Is this asking him to take the initiative to find Yamagami Tetsuya for a fight to the death?
