Yin Zhu didn't know much about ancient myths, so she could only give examples of "famous mythical beasts" such as the nine-tailed fox, the bluebird, and the Bai Ze.
The second category is Taoist mythology and Buddhist mythology. Among them, "Journey to the West" and "Investiture of the Gods" are works that reasonably blend the two. Buddhism has the Western Paradise, and Taoism has the Nine Heavens of Lingxiao. The two systems occasionally have disputes, but most of the time they do not interfere with each other.
Yin Zhu naturally gave the foreign friends a brief introduction to traditional mythological figures such as "Sun Wukong", "Nezha" and "Erlang Shen". Although these Chinese gods have been adapted into films and television series many times, this only proves their popularity.
It would be even better if film and television companies didn't always have them dating.
The third category is the "modern mythology" of the Dragon Kingdom. Online authors recreate myths from ancient times to the present, establishing a "primordial world" and reshaping the structure and power system of traditional Chinese mythological novels.
However, when it came to these kinds of things, Jennifer, who felt she couldn't remember any of them, lay on the bed in despair: "There are too many of them. I think I'd rather just die."
Having anticipated this situation, Yin Zhu comforted her, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. After all, the key is the rules. The rules might distort what we know from the past, so our actions now should focus more on the rules themselves, rather than those myths."
Myths do have some reference value, but completely believing your own preconceived notions will only lead you into another misconception.
After all, the myth of the One Star is just an unspeakable overlay on the myth of the Blue Star, and may not be completely identical.
Moreover, even on Earth, the same myth can be interpreted and viewed differently. For example, the Christian classic "Lilith" has both male-dominated and female-dominated interpretations.
"Then do I still need to tell you the myths of our Lavender Country?" Jennifer propped herself up, looking at them innocently, then lay back down weakly, defiantly raising her fist and stretching her arm out towards the ceiling.
“Okay, I admit, I don’t know much about the ancient myths of the Lavender Country. My family are Christians, and I’ve only read the Bible.”
This was exactly what Yin Zhu had expected.
After all, the religion with the most followers and the widest spread in the world is Christianity, which is known as the number one religion, with believers all over the New World and the Old World.
"Me too, my family practices Buddhism."
Solomon raised his hand and weakly explained, "The vast majority of people in our country are Buddhists, with a small number of followers of Sacred Bulls and Green Pagans. However, in our legends, there are also demons and vampires..."
He gave a few simple examples, then chuckled, scratching his head, "I hope this helps."
In the end, only one Chosen One of the Pantheon was left who did not show up.
"When I was a kid, I watched an animated series based on the mythology of the Pantheon. But all I remember is that Thor was a womanizer, which made his wife very angry." Yin Zhu pinched his chin and tried hard to recall, but all he could think of were a few boys in Saint Seiya armor bravely storming the Twelve Palaces.
...As expected of the Japanese nation, which can turn any subject into an anime.
Hirano San seemed to have thought of the same scene as well, and looked at Yin Zhu's somewhat headache-inducing expression with a half-smile: "What's wrong? Zhu, do you seem to have thought of something strange?"
"It's nothing, let's leave it at that for our main plan." Yin Zhu didn't want to be too distracted by this, so she shifted her focus back to the instance: "Let's set a countdown. We'll meet here in five days. No matter what happens, we need to try our best to get into the inner city. He won't let us waste too much time."
“Okay,” the three replied in unison.
Since the weather wasn't cold, and there was only one bed in the room, the three people, except for Hirano San, all slept on the floor.
As for why Hirano San sleeps in the bed?
Because she was a minor, the youngest person present, both Yin Zhu and Jennifer chose to let her sleep alone, and Solomon naturally had no objections. Of course, even if he did have any objections, Jennifer's fists would silence him.
Time always flies when you're asleep.
The next morning, she vaguely heard the sound of a door being pushed open and closed. Hirano Sane's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally opened her eyes.
What comes into view is the old ceiling and the empty room.
The other three had already left the room, some going to work, others going out to perform, leaving only Hirano Sane in the poor man's apartment.
She raised her left arm, looked at the benevolent spirit tablet on the back of her hand, gently tapped it a few times with her right hand, then turned her back to the camera so that the audience could not see the name and balance displayed inside.
B-01-0001.
Balance: Venacoin.
After locking up her benevolent spirit, Hirano Shan glanced at the Venus coins that Yin Zhu had placed on her bedside table. There were about forty of them—money she had earned from tutoring yesterday, which she was told to use to buy food or pay rent.
"……Fool."
