1028 That year, there was no Gensokyo. That year, they were all still young.
Times, this is a very popular word, but it is also a profound word. Basically it refers to a time period, and this time period can be long or short. It can be as short as ten years or decades, such as boyhood or youth, or as long as tens of thousands of years, such as the Jurassic Era ¡These are well-known times.
Of course, there is another era, and that is the near-future era that Gensokyo currently lives in.
Speaking of Gensokyo, in fact, it didn¡¯t exist at the beginning. Before it was isolated from the human world, people called it ¡°the border land far away from the human world in the Eastern Kingdom.¡± Because there are many monsters living in this place, those who accidentally enter this place will be caught and eaten by the monsters. Therefore, people are afraid of this place, and ordinary people dare not approach it at all.
Of course, there are also some people who live in Gensokyo in order to ward off monsters, such as shrine maidens.
Then, as time passed, the number of humans increased dramatically due to the development of civilization. The sage of monsters believed that if the number of humans continued to increase, the balance of Gensokyo would collapse, so he established a "realm of illusion and reality" to attract Monsters from the outside world come to Gensokyo to bring it into balance.
However, because most of the monsters have moved into Gensokyo, there are very few monsters living in human society, and they have been in seclusion for a long time. Coupled with the realm of illusion and reality, these are directly connected. This has led to With the advancement of scientific and technological civilization, human beings have developed in a very extreme way towards the material aspect, and gradually began to doubt spiritual civilization, and then added non-scientific things as superstitions and rejected them. Over time, people no longer Believe in the existence of demons, ghosts, and of course gods.
Whether they are monsters or gods, they are very powerful and can do many things that humans cannot do. However, they must rely on humans to survive in human society, because they have one thing in common they need human faith!
The difference is that the faith of gods is the respect of human beings, while the faith of monsters is the fear of human beings. But if they want to obtain this kind of faith, they must have a prerequisite - believe!
People believe in the existence of gods, so they respect them; people believe in the existence of monsters, so they feel fear. However, if people don't believe in their existence, how can they have other emotions?
Take ghosts for example. Their purpose of existence is to rob and destroy human society. If people are afraid of them, they will be happy to do so. But if people do not believe in their existence and are not afraid of them, then they will You will lose interest and become lazy.
There are also gods. Without human faith, not only will their power become weaker, but their existence will even disappear Countless abandoned shrines are the best evidence.
In such a society, there is no room for monsters and gods to survive.
So, under the guidance of the Yokai Sage, the remaining monsters also began to go to Gensokyo, because there were still humans who believed in the existence of monsters, and the gods only appeared in Gensokyo, because only there they could obtain human beliefs.
Then, the great monster sage in Gensokyo and the human witch built a powerful barrier to completely isolate Gensokyo from the outside world, allowing most monsters and a few humans to live quietly there. From then on, Human society will never hear or see stories about Gensokyo again.
This is the first cooperation between monsters and humans, because they both know that the balance of Gensokyo is necessary. Monsters must eat people to achieve the balance of monsters, and humans must defeat monsters to achieve the balance of mankind. As long as this is the case, the monsters of Gensokyo will Only with humans can we survive As time goes by, monsters no longer often prey on humans in Gensokyo, and some monsters even have friendly exchanges with humans.
Of course, some monsters will still eat people, and humans will regularly exterminate monsters.
The above is the history of the development of Gensokyo, which can be called the Gensokyo era. Then before Gensokyo developed, when there were not even monsters and sages, what kind of era should we call it?
If you have to say it, you have to go back to a long, long time ago. The leaders of society were not humans, but were entrenched by a large number of demons and ghosts. That was the era of demons dancing!
When Qiqi fought against Reverse Karma, although she had done some tricks before the battle, which would not endanger the safety of the entire world, because of her unreserved fighting, the aftermath still affected the space she was in. It caused huge damage countless space cracks, dimensional fluctuations and time and space gaps were born.
Then Qiqi died, and his body turned into Mars to form a book of contract, and then entered a time gap., and the end of this time gap is the era when the demons danced wildly.
¡¡
In a quiet dense forest, a fire was rising on the grass, and rabbits were roasting on it. Next to the fire sat two girls. They looked to be only about 60 years old, wearing simple cloth, and one had beautiful golden blouse. The other one has light green short hair. Although the clothes look rustic and seem to be living a very miserable life, they cannot hide their natural beauty.
After a while, when the rabbit meat on the fire rack began to smell, the green-haired girl cheered and reached out to grab the roasted rabbit, regardless of the fire still burning.
"Be careful, there's still fire." The blonde girl reminded quickly.
"What does it matter? This little fire can't hurt me anyway." The green-haired girl said nonchalantly, but in the end she retracted her hand and put out the fire first before pulling out the roast rabbit's thigh.
"Well, it's delicious." The green-haired girl eagerly took a bite and exclaimed in admiration, but then she didn't know what to think of. She frowned and said angrily, "Those guys actually said that I was Herbivore, it¡¯s really disgusting, I obviously know how to eat meat, okay!¡±
The blond girl chuckled and said, "Isn't that what they mean by herbivore."
"No matter what they mean, if you take it literally, don't herbivorous people just eat grass? How could I eat grass with these idiots with diminishing IQs!" the green-haired girl said with disdain.
The blonde girl smiled again, "Are you still angry about this? It's been so long?"
"I'm not angry, I'm just annoyed. As you know, those guys claim to be geniuses and always act arrogant towards others. They are born two hundred and fifty!" the green-haired girl said bitterly.
The blonde girl sighed helplessly, "You are just angry."
The green-haired girl suddenly choked, and then waved her hands vigorously, "Forget it, let's not mention this. Anyway, it's a bunch of people who defeated me. It's not worth my anger. Let's talk about something happy."
The blonde girl asked: "What's the happy thing?"
The green-haired girl answered matter-of-factly, "You can tell me whatever makes you happy. Do you even need to ask?"
The blonde girl tilted her head and thought for a while. After a while, she asked cautiously: "I had a dream last night. In the dream, there were endless beautiful clothes to wear. I was very happy. Does this count?"
The green-haired girl pinched her chin and smashed her mouth, "Although it doesn't matter, why do I think this is completely meaningless? Also, you really like beautiful clothes, you can only dream about it."
"Of course, don't you think beautiful clothes look good?" When talking about this, the blond girl suddenly became excited.
However, the green-haired girl was quite disdainful of this. She turned away and said, "Tch, forget it. We are not shameless human women. What's the use of dressing so beautifully?"
"But, don't you know that beautiful clothes are a girl's romance?" the blonde girl asked.
"Who did you hear this from?"
"I heard it in my dream."
"You really know how to dream." The corner of the green-haired girl's mouth twitched slightly, and then said, "But I don't like romance or anything like that. If you really want to say it, I prefer those handsome clothes."
"Handsome clothes?" The blond girl was stunned.
"Hmmhuh?!" The green-haired girl nodded and was about to speak when her face suddenly changed and she jumped up from the ground. Then she grabbed the blond girl and rushed up to the big tree next to her, hiding under the lush trees. In the branches and leaves.
"What happened?" Although the blond girl was a little confused, the two of them had been together for a long time, and he knew that she probably felt something, so she quickly asked in a low voice.
The green-haired girl said in a deep voice: "I felt a powerful monster aura approaching just now. There should be other monsters coming towards us Ignore other things, let's block our aura for the time being."
"Yeah." The blonde girl responded, then closed her eyes and activated her ability. Suddenly, the breath of the two people disappeared completely, and then they hid in the tree and held their breath, motionless.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The only sound left in the whole forest was the gentle breeze blowing the leaves.
About five or six minutes later, suddenly, a footstep sounded from not far away. This sound immediately startled the two girls hiding in the tree.
"Xiao Zi, do you feel it?" The green-haired girl asked the girl next to her in as low a voice as possible, with a trace of panic and uneasiness flashing in her eyes.
Similarly, the blond girl named Xiao Zi also had a hint of fear on her face, and whispered: "I feel it, it's such a strong monster. I'm afraid the two of us can't defeat this monster together. "
"Not only is he strong, but his demonic aura is also full of violence. Be careful, stay hidden, and try not to let him find out." The green-haired girl reminded.
Xiao Zi nodded, but she was thinking in her heart, which race are the monsters with such violent aura?
This question was quickly answered. As the footsteps got closer and closer, looking down through the gaps in the branches and leaves, they finally saw the appearance of the person coming It was a huge figure over two meters tall. , the body is a human body, but there is a wolf head on the neck.
"Oops, it's a werewolf!"
Seeing each other's appearance, the two girls' expressions suddenly changed. They looked at each other at the same time and found that the other party was also full of fear like themselves.
It is well known that there are many races of monsters. The most powerful among them are the ghost race and the vampire race. The former is the king of close combat. They are extremely powerful and can move mountains and seas with every move. They have almost no ability in close combat. Any monster can rival the Oni clan. The latter is the King of the Night. As long as he stays at night, the vampire's power will be greatly enhanced, and he even has immortality. Even the ghosts will not easily fight vampires at night.
"However, although these two monsters are the most powerful, they are not the most terrifying, because vampires generally rarely appear, and they attach great importance to etiquette. They are nobles among monsters. Under normal circumstances, they will not bully the weak. The ghost tribe especially likes to drink. If you encounter them accidentally and there is no enmity between the two parties, as long as you invite the other person to drink, the ghost tribe will generously make friends with you.
So for these two races, all monsters are in awe, but will not be afraid of themprovided that you do not go against these two races.
Then there is the third monster race - werewolves, this one is the most terrifying.
Because they are not only powerful, they are the only beings that can compete with ghosts in close combat. Like vampires, their power increases at night, and the most terrifying thing is they are not as powerful as ghosts and vampires. They are easy to make friends with. They are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature. Once they come into contact with monsters of other races, as long as the opponent is not particularly strong, they will definitely rush to fight.
And werewolves especially like to bully the weak.
The only monsters that werewolves dare not provoke are vampires and ghosts, because vampires have the power to restrain them, and ghosts are not only powerful individually, but the entire race is also extremely united If you offend one ghost, it is equivalent to offending the entire ghost tribe. .
However, apart from these two races, werewolves dare to fight no matter what kind of monster they are. In addition, their methods are extremely cruel, and they are feared by almost all monsters except ghosts and vampires.
Generally speaking, when a weak monster encounters a werewolf, it is almost a dead end.
"We unexpectedly encountered a werewolf. This race is too scary. Xiao Zi, we must not relax. We must not let it discover our existence, otherwise we will be dead!" Before the werewolf got close, the green-haired girl immediately A low-pitched warning.
"I understand, Youxiang." Xiao Zi nodded heavily. In fact, without the other party saying it, he had already used his shielding ability to the limit. After all, werewolves are monsters that they absolutely cannot compete with now.
After a while, the werewolf had already walked to the tree where they were hiding. Looking at the still smoking fire and the steaming roast rabbit, the werewolf's eyes lit up, and then he suddenly raised his head.
Although the lush branches and leaves completely blocked their figures, and although Xiao Zi's ability completely blocked their breath, this sight still made them tremble with fear and almost fell from the tree.
