Zongman: A Traveling Journey Starting from the Supreme

Human beings are weak and can only seek the protection of demon gods.

And these villages at the foot of the mountain are the objects of protection of Morax, the demon god of rocks.

The land where this village gathers is called "Liyue" by people. The people led by Morax settled here, and they are the first people of Liyue.

However, Liyue's land is rich and fertile, so it is naturally impossible for the Demon God of Rock to enjoy it exclusively.

Many demon gods and their protected subjects live here, and they have not invaded each other for hundreds of years, maintaining a rare peace.

But Morax was farsighted, knowing that such peace would not last.

The current peace is only a sparsely populated land with sufficient resources.

However, if one day a natural disaster strikes, or human beings reproduce too much to cause a shortage of resources, or some kind of external force intervenes, this land will inevitably be full of wars.

"Forget it, although I have no intention of competing, but if that moment really comes, I will protect the safety of the people."

Morax thought so.

This is the contract he made with the people of Liyue. Even if the sky falls, the contract must be fulfilled.

His gaze was like a torch, and he noticed that in the village at the foot of the mountain, people from other villages came to bring their own products and were bartering, so he said thoughtfully:

"...Bartering can meet the needs of each family, but it is inefficient and unfair."

"If there is something that can serve as a general equivalent, it will be more convenient and fairer to circulate."

"...Old friend, what do you think?"

Morax asked the Dragon King Ruoda beside him.

Dragon King Ruo Tuo was silent for a moment, then said: "...Well, you are right, I see with my eyes."

For a while, the two stopped talking, and the wind that blew past was slightly embarrassing.

Dragon King Ruo Tuo is also wronged, it is only an elemental life, not a demon god, it actually has no special feelings for people.

However, signing a contract with Morax, with three chapters, made it have a heart of shelter for Morax's people.

But that's all. If you want it to understand the laws of human society's development and human culture in detail, that's impossible.

Just when the two parties were embarrassed, a gentle female voice suddenly intervened between the two, saving the embarrassment of the two.

"Morax, so you are here."

The tone of the voice was pleasantly surprised, and there was a hint of a smile.

Morax's face remained unchanged, he turned his back to the visitor, and just said: "...It's been a long time, 'Demon God of Dust'!"

"Hey, I call you Morax, but you call me 'Demon God of Dust', don't you think it's too unfamiliar?"

The owner of that voice is quite familiar.

Morax couldn't help it, so he had to turn around, with a rocky look on his face, and still said calmly: "...It's been a long time, it's finally here!"

……

Not far away, a group of beasts are watching here, counting down, there are more than a dozen of them.

"That woman called Dijun again, and every time the excuse was to ask for advice, in my opinion, this excuse is really ridiculous."

Seeing that Morax and Afterall were chatting about something, a crane spoke.

Another crane beside her asked at this time: "...Oh? What's the best idea of ​​staying in the clouds and taking advantage of the wind?"

Liu Yun took advantage of the wind to spread his wings, and said in a leisurely tone, "...there is a word among human beings that best describes the emperor at this time."

"What word?"

The immortals asked again.

As if waiting for this question, Liu Yun raised his beak in the wind and said, "...it's the emperor who doesn't understand the style!"

As soon as she finished speaking, all the birds and beasts took a step back. Seeing this, Liu Yun took advantage of the wind and said angrily: "...Could it be that what I said is wrong?"

No, you are right, you are too right, if you can speak, you should say more!

The immortals complained in their hearts.

"Okay, I'll just listen to the matter of the emperor and see it. The emperor is far-sighted and must be careless. We don't have to speculate!"

"...It's better to practice hard and complete the contract with the emperor!"

A deer played a smooth game, and the immortals listened to it, so they gave up.

……

In the Great Enchantment of Gensokyo, in a Japanese-style cottage in the gap, a beautiful woman with blond hair and purple eyes suddenly opened her beautiful eyes. She looked serious and shouted loudly: "... Lan, are you there?".

Chapter 9 The Youkai Sage of Gensokyo

In the Japanese-style hut in the gap, Yakumo Zi sensed something, she opened her amethyst-colored beautiful eyes, with a serious expression, and suddenly sat up from the tatami.

But I saw this big monster with a hot figure and a willow waist.

A head of golden hair spread out, and the thin quilt slipped down her white and tender skin, revealing a few touches of pink and white skin.

Usually, when Zi Yakumo wakes up from hibernation, she is charming, tender and sweet, with a touch of lazy style.

But this time Yakumo Zi, she had a rare serious expression, and there was imperceptible anxiety and panic in the depths of her eyes.

"Master Zi!"

Hearing Yakumo Zi's shout, a beautiful girl in Taoist robes, a strange hat, and nine tails appeared in this small bedroom.

Just judging from the girl's figure, it can be guessed that she should be the legendary nine-tailed fox.

But different from the seductive nine-tailed fox in the legend, the nine-tailed girl in front of her lacks a little charm and has more dignity.

Yakumo Lan, originally a nine-tailed monster, was tamed by a monster sage thousands of years ago, and became the opponent's shikigami, and got Yakumo's surname.

Since then, the nine-tailed fox has been serving the sage of monsters for thousands of years, and has never left him, always by his side.

Yakumo Lan, who was cooking in the kitchen, suddenly heard the master's call. She quickly dressed and came to Yakumo Zi's hibernation room.

Seeing Yakumo Zi, who was supposed to wake up in spring, suddenly woke up during hibernation.

Moreover, the other party's eyes are stern now, and his demeanor is graceful and steady, making Yakumo Lan stunned, as if seeing the demeanor of the monster sage thousands of years ago again.

How long has it been since you saw this side of Master Zi?

If you think about it carefully, it has been more than 100 years.

Ever since the Hakurei barrier was opened more than 100 years ago and Gensokyo was completely isolated from the outside world, Zi-sama seems to have completed what she should do, and has become lazy ever since.

This once all-powerful monster sage has completely turned into a monster idler since then. Simply put, he is a mess.

It's like Yakumo Zi already knew that she wanted to 'send', so she arranged it badly in advance.

But who would have thought that now, more than 100 years later, he would be able to see Master Zi's posture again.

'In this way, Master Zi should work hard and stop being a useless person. '

What Yakumo Lan was delighted with was not that Yakumo Zi suddenly lost his way and found his way back.

But since Yakumo Zi's failure, everything has been handed over to her, the shikigami.

She not only has to complete all kinds of wonderful tasks that Zi gave her, but also takes care of Zi's daily life, and repairs the big barrier when she has nothing to do.

This is still 100 years without a break, so she has to work hard and not slack off.

Compared with Yakumo Lan's work, 996 is really a blessing.

In this kind of working environment, Yakumolan was really under too much pressure and had some mental problems.

If Lord Zi could restore her demeanor of a sage back then and help her with some work matters, she would definitely cry with excitement.

"A big event happened, Lan, you come with us!"

While speaking, Yakumo Zijiao stood up, stepping on the tatami with a pair of jade feet.

Following her provocative figure, she turned around in a circle, and she wore a long purple dress with lotus leaves and lace on her body.

"Master Zi, could it be that there is a problem with the Great Barrier?"

Yakumo Lan's expression changed slightly. In her mind, the only thing that can make Master Zi so caring is the Hakurei Great Barrier.

"Something has entered Gensokyo from outside the Great Barrier."

Yakumo Zi only briefly answered Lan's question, and as she thought about it, a gap opened up behind her and Lan.

It is a place where realms intersect, and there are cute bows tied at both ends of the space crack, but the countless strange eyes in the gap make people feel fearful.

Yakumo Lan has long been used to these eyes.

She was puzzled, it was common for things outside the Great Barrier to come to Fantasy Township.

Even when the number of human beings in the world decreases, Master Zi will still hide some people.

But this time Master Zi mobilized the crowd, could it be that the thing that appeared in Gensokyo from outside the barrier was some extremely terrifying forgotten person, or a demon?

Although her heart was full of doubts, Lan didn't ask too much, she knew that she would know the answer in the next moment.

Before being swallowed by the gap, Lan was also ready to fight.

At the same time that the gap opened from the Japanese-style hut, another gap also opened in Gensokyo.

Yakumo Zi strolled out with her own shikigami, holding a parasol in her jade hand wrapped in silk gloves, and her eyes fell on the lawn under her feet.

After coming out of the gap, Lan was ready for everything, and she found that this place was not far from the Hakurei Shrine.

But she was vigilant for a long time but couldn't find the enemy, her eyes slowly fell on the jet-black paper that Master Zi picked up from the lawn.

"Master Zi, this thing..."

Just looking at the black paper, the nine tails on Lan's back were all hairy, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Yakumo Lan showed fear, and subconsciously took a step back.

After realizing that his movements were not very good, as if he had abandoned Master Zi, he quickly stood still and returned to his original position.

"As you can see, Lan...the power contained in this thing is really terrifying. Even if there is only a trace, it can make people feel the nobility of the owner who possesses this power."

Zimei Yakumo narrowed her eyes, her vigilance raised to the highest level.

It was this thing that suddenly appeared in Gensokyo that woke her up from hibernation.

"Master Zi, what the hell is this, could it be and the moon..."

Yakumolan said cautiously, her voice became quieter, as if she was too loud and would attract the attention of the owner of the black piece of paper.

"No, you look too highly at those people on the moon, they don't have such ability."

"...If this thing suddenly appeared on the moon, it is estimated that the entire lunar capital will panic."

Saying this, Yakumo Zi suddenly had a whim, thinking about throwing this thing on the moon.

But in the end, she gave up on this idea. When this thing appeared in Gensokyo, it might have some deep meaning that she couldn't understand.

"Then what is this thing?"

Yakumo Lanchi questioned, she actually roughly recognized what the symbols on the black piece of paper were, but she couldn't be sure.

"Blue, have you found it too? This is the Zoroastrian symbol 'Faravaha'."

"...But the strange thing is that the image on 'Faravaha' should be a man, but this 'Faravaha' has a female head on it."

"This thing is of great research value, let's take it back and study it first."

Hearing Yakumo Zi's words, Yakumo Lan's expression changed drastically: "...Master Zi, this thing is too dangerous."

"Ah, we know, but Lan, maybe the appearance of this thing is God's will, and it's also 'hope'!"

Yakumo Zi murmured, "...Zoroaster is the name of the ancient Greeks, more precisely, it should be called 'Zarathustra'!"

……

Xixiang left the darkness, walked out of his own palace, and headed for the arena.
