Shi Yu Qiluo turned around and walked into the crowded crowd again, listening patiently to the storyteller at the table.
Afterwards, the storyteller told some legends about the relationship between the bright moon and the Yellow Emperor, which were half true and half false and difficult to understand.
As Huangdi's teacher, Fengrao Mingyue passed on all the knowledge she knew to Huangdi Ji Lin, and often taught by example. They went to the fields together, hunted together, chopped wood together, and drew a blueprint for the future together.
No matter how great Huangdi Ji Lin was, he could not escape the laws of human nature.
After all, she was just a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love, and Fengrao Mingyue had saved her life and taught her all kinds of knowledge and martial arts.
In the moment of despair, a man who can do everything and treats her well for no reason appears, instantly making other men become insignificant.
In the eyes of Huangdi Ji Lin, among all the people in the world, only his own teacher is the most powerful person. Even the respected Chiyuan Immortal cannot compare to her teacher.
The storyteller's focus gradually shifted from the Red Kite Immortal and Fengrao Mingyue to the emotions between the Yellow Emperor Ji Lin and Fengrao Mingyue.
At this time, someone couldn't help but ask, "Feng Rao Ming Yue was so kind to the Yellow Emperor, and their relationship sounded like a natural progression. Then why have I never heard of Feng Rao Ming Yue in any of the stories about the Yellow Emperor?"
The storyteller raised the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, opened his old fan, crossed his legs and kept the secret.
"No hurry~no rush~"
"This matter must begin with the protagonist of the story, Fengrao Mingyue. However, the story happened so long ago that it is impossible to tell whether it is true or false. In addition, there is a lack of documentation, so naturally there is no way to discuss his origins."
"His martial arts are unrivaled, both ancient and modern. Where did he learn them? His profound knowledge, where did he acquire it? All of this remains a mystery."
"The only thing we know is that he always follows behind the Red Kite Immortal. Even though he is never noticed or recognized, he never changes his mind. His heart is as firm as a rock."
"Therefore, even though Huangdi Ji Lin took the initiative to express his love, Fengrao Mingyue rejected Huangdi without the slightest hesitation."
"As the saying goes, the falling flowers have feelings, but the flowing water is ruthless~"
"In order to prevent the Red Kite Immortal from misunderstanding, Feng Rao Ming Yue even requested that the Yellow Emperor delete all references to them from the historical documents of later generations. Because no matter how objective those references were, once the historians wrote them down, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see the hidden feelings between the Yellow Emperor Ji Lin and his mentor Feng Rao Ming Yue."
"Under pressure from his mentor, Emperor Huangdi Ji Lin very reluctantly erased all references to Fengrao Mingyue from history. This is why no one in later generations knew of Fengrao Mingyue."
?
Saori Tsuruyu was very confused. Wasn't what the storyteller said contradictory?
Since no one in later generations knew about the Abundant Moon, how did he know it so clearly?
After the storyteller finished, Saori Tsuruyu couldn't help but raise her hand and ask, "Since you said that Emperor Huang Ji Lin erased all references to the Abundant Moon, how did you learn these stories? Aren't these just myths you deliberately fabricated to attract attention?"
"Hahaha! Well said, well said."
When the storyteller heard Saori Tsuruyu's question, he was not angry but happy, and praised her repeatedly, as if he was waiting for her to raise this question so that the topic could continue.
The storyteller closed his fan and spoke eloquently.
"In fact, when history was erased, Huangdi Ji Lin was still a young girl just beginning to fall in love. How could one bear to let his beloved be so tarnished?"
"What girl wouldn't want the man she loves to be recognized and praised by future generations?"
"Thus, the Yan Emperor Shennong, as we are familiar with him, emerged."
"Yandi, the ancient leader of the Jiang clan, was honored as Shennong, also known as Lianshan. He tasted hundreds of herbs and taught his people how to use them to treat illnesses, earning him the title of 'Ancestor of Medicine.' He also invented slash-and-burn farming and taught his people how to reclaim wasteland and cultivate crops, earning him the title of 'God of Agriculture.' Don't you think his actions are very similar to those of Huangdi's mentor, Fengzao Mingyue?"
There was a commotion in the audience because everyone knew the legends of Huangdi and Yandi.
"Don't tell me, it seems a bit similar?"
"Yes, I think that even if the clerical skills are low, it won't cause the fame of two people to collide, right?"
It's clear to everyone.
Yandi Shennong was a man, and the most iconic story about him is the story of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. Huangdi was the leader of the human race, a woman of exceptional talent. Together, Yandi and Huangdi sealed Chiyou, the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.
The two fell in love with each other, became lovers, and finally got married.
Then according to the storyteller, isn't the story of their final happy marriage fictional?
"It seems you all already have the answer in your hearts. Indeed, just as you all thought, the Yan Emperor is the Plenty Moon. To avoid suspicion, the Yellow Emperor Ji Lin personally wrote all the records about the Yan Emperor."
"The so-called mutual affection and happy marriage are nothing more than a young girl's wishful thinking. This fact is known only to the Yellow Emperor himself. In the eyes of everyone, including Fengrao Mingyue and the Red Kite Immortal, the Yellow Emperor has someone else in his heart, and the Yan Emperor is a talented person from a certain tribe. The immortals and Fengrao Mingyue have always been arrogant and would never lower themselves to inquire into the lives of mortals. Naturally, they have no way of knowing the Yan Emperor's true identity."
Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder the love between Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor was so desirable in the legends they had heard.
It seems now.
Staying together forever, but Huangdi Ji Lin is left alone in the boudoir, living out his life in loneliness...
If what the storyteller said is true.
Huangdi Ji Lin, the ancestor of the human race, ended up like this, which is too pitiful.
Fengzao Mingyue pursued the Chiyuan Immortal, but the Chiyuan Immortal turned a blind eye to her; Huangdi Ji Lin pursued Fengzao Mingyue, but Fengzao Mingyue made all kinds of excuses.
Fate really loves to play jokes on people, turning three amazing people into this state.
The guests all lamented Fengrao Mingyue's wrong choice. She did not marry Huangdi Ji Lin, but insisted on pursuing a result that was doomed to be impossible.
The Red Kite Immortal is a peerless immortal with an indifferent temperament and no understanding of human nature. How can he compare to the Yellow Emperor Ji Lin, who was willing to tamper with the entire history of China for one person, and finally ended up dying alone, with only him in his eyes?
Fortune plays tricks on people.
Although Saori Tsuruyu felt a little emotional, her focus was still on where the storyteller learned these stories.
If it was compiled on the spur of the moment, it would be a shame not to write a novel when the logic and story are so reasonable.
This unofficial history is too wild.
"Sir, where did you know these stories?" Saori Tsuruyu was about to speak when Shigure Kirara asked the question first.
The storyteller cast his gaze upon Shigure Kirara, who was looking serious, and was a little surprised.
"Miss, do you remember the stream I mentioned before, hanging from the top of Taixu Mountain?"
"Of course I remember it clearly. Sir, you said that the Yellow Emperor Ji Lin, the Red Kite Immortal, and Feng Zao Ming Yue often went to the lake there to fish and discuss how to govern the world."
"Not bad, not bad, the girl has a good memory, that's right."
The storyteller stroked his pale beard and looked at Shigure Qiluo with satisfaction.
"If you're curious, you can go to the lake not far from the Yuanyue Inn after the hour of Xu. You might find something unexpected."
Shigure Kirara: "Sir, is that where you found the books that record these stories?"
Storyteller: "That's right. It's been so long that I've forgotten everything. I can't tell you more. If fate allows, you will get the story you want to know."
"Well, now that the story is over, it's time for me to go. The road ahead is long, everyone. We'll meet again someday."
The storyteller jumped off the table and staggered out of the inn.
Shigure Kirara was still lost in thought when she was pulled aside by Saori Tsuruyu.
"First, deliver the food in the kitchen to the guests, and then record the pattern. We will close early today and discuss what to do next." Saori Tsuruyu saw what Shigure Kirara was thinking and made a quick judgment.
"Yes." Shigure Kirara agreed.
After a busy period, Yuanyue Inn officially closed at 8:05 pm, 25 minutes earlier than usual.
Nine o'clock is the hour of Xu. After this time, everyone in the town becomes abnormal and turns into flesh and blood ghosts with unknown patterns.
As usual, Shigure Kirara and Saori Tsuru first walked around the Yuanyue Inn to check if there were any guests hiding in any corner of the inn. After checking, they confirmed that they were the only two people in the inn.
Shigure Kirara and Saori Tsuruyu sat at the table with solemn expressions.
"Captain, I know what you're thinking right now. It's very dangerous. Not to mention leaving the inn after nine o'clock, even simply going to an unknown lake is dangerous. Places with such specific properties are likely to contain strange things we're not aware of."
"We have to have someone stay in the inn to prevent ghosts from entering. If we want to go to the lake, we can only go alone, which is even more dangerous."
"We can't tell whether the story just now is true or not. There's no need to go to the lake to find the truth."
Saori Tsuruyu analyzed objectively from her own perspective.
In her opinion, as long as she did what Li Mo said, she could survive, and then wait until Li Mo woke up to deal with the supernatural events together.
As for the Ghost Festival on July 15th, preventing the flesh-and-blood ghosts from coming into contact with the human-skin forest, Li Mo will definitely have a way to solve it after he wakes up.
Shi Yu Qiluo was silent for a while. Reason told her that there was nothing wrong with following Li Mo's plan. If there were any unnecessary actions, it would probably be superfluous and bring some unnecessary trouble.
Sensibility led Shigure Kirara to the lake again.
She listened to the story of Fengyao Mingyue in its entirety and vaguely saw some unknown truths in it.
The Red Kite Immortal, the source of the weirdness, seemed to have a bit of abnormality in his brain from the very beginning, and his memory was very confused.
"Xiaoyou, doing what the gloomy man said is indeed the safest option. Do you know why?"
Shigure Kirara asked back, lowering her head and stroking the shiny strange pistol in her hand.
Before Saori Tsuruyu could answer, Shigure Kirara added, "Because the gloomy man kept the most dangerous things for himself."
"You and I both know he's very powerful. He can turn any dangerous situation into a safe one. Just like a ghost, he can't be killed."
"But if he really can't be killed and can be restarted, then why has the gloomy man always been so cautious and careful? It's completely unnecessary, isn't it? So he will die, but he's just using the power of ghosts to reasonably offset the rules that can lead to his death."
"That day, we asked him if there was any way to prevent the human-skin ghosts from coming into contact with the flesh-blood ghosts."
"His answer was: Yes, and once and for all. He didn't mention how to solve it or what would happen after it was solved."
"Xiaoyou, you should know better than me what this means. It means he's not sure of surviving. That's why we didn't discuss what happens next. Otherwise, given his personality, he would definitely tell us his plans after dealing with this strange situation."
"We are so well protected."
Shigure Qiluo put the strange pistol on her waist and glanced at her cell phone. The time displayed on it was 8:10 in the evening, and five minutes had passed.
"Everyone can die, but he can't." Shigure Qiluo said very seriously.
Saori Tsuruyu did not deny that they had always been in a very safe state. As far as Li Mo could, they would not have direct contact with the resurrected ghosts, but only did logistical work.
All the risks were left to Li Mo to face alone, and they only needed to follow behind and listen to his instructions without taking any risks at all.
"I understand, Captain. You have a more complete story than I did. There must be information that I don't know."
"Brother asked us to record the patterns and habits of the Flesh Ghosts. I'm afraid he wants to use these details to find a better way to prevent the human-skin ghosts from coming into contact with the Flesh Ghosts during the Ghost Festival. So why not go to the lake? Maybe we can find some information about the source of the strangeness and solve the problem from the root."
"I won't stop you, but before you leave, use the notebook to predict the future, although it may not be accurate."
Shigure Kirara asked in confusion, "But didn't the gloomy man say that it's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary?"
Saori Tsurugi nodded and changed the subject, "Captain, you've already made up your mind, haven't you? You'll go no matter what the notebook says. So, you're only using the notebook to get more information. Besides... the notebook won't always answer, let alone every question."
"Since I can't stop you, I can only do my best to help you so that you can come back alive."
Saori Tsuruyu always had a feeling that the notebook was more likely to be used by her brother than by herself.
Being willing to be used by her was just to set a trap for her brother.
"There's no time to lose. Let's open it and take a look. No matter what it says, I'll go to the lake and take a look."
"Ah."
Saori Tsuruyu put the notebook on the table and turned to the middle page.
However, the notebook seemed to have a life of its own and refused to be turned to the middle page. The first page pressed down on the back, exposing itself to the sight of the two people.
Saori Tsuruyu asks, "What dangers are there in the lake in this town?"
【…】
The notebook didn't answer.
Shigure Kirara: "Could it be that the way I asked the question was wrong? Or is the question too difficult?"
Saori Tsuruyu: "I don't know. Let me try another question."
"Captain, what should we pay attention to when we go to the lake? What should we do to come back alive?"
【…】
The notebook still didn't answer.
It was as if he didn't hear Saori Tsuruyu's question at all, and there was no movement at all.
Saori Tsuruyu: "Strange, has it become so obedient now?"
Shigure Kirara took a deep breath, stared at the notebook intently, and said to Saori Tsuruyu, "Let me ask something."
Then he turned the notebook around so that it was facing himself.
"My name is Shigure Kirara. I'm going to visit the lake the storyteller mentioned. Notebook, tell me what I can do to help the gloomy man so he can handle this supernatural incident and survive."
Shigure Kirara asked from another perspective.
She didn't ask herself how she would get back alive, or how she would avoid the dangers near the lake.
Instead, he sought to find a way to help Li Mo survive.
