The legend of Tiga

Chapter 1932: Resentful Mountain Spirit

boom!
There was a loud bang and sparks flew.

The blooming bud quickly burned as if it had been poured with oil. The impact of the explosion caused it to stagger backwards. Before it could stand still, the flames had spread, turning the human-shaped walking bud into a fire flower. It then collapsed to the ground, allowing itself to be burned by the flames, no longer able to struggle.

In just two or three seconds, it was burned into a pool of ashes. The burning speed was so fast that even something made of paper would be burned as fast as this.

This is obviously beyond common sense and means that it is definitely not a normal plant.

Yes, the flowers and plants on the earth, even if they were woven into human shapes, would not run away, nor would they let out a shrill scream after being hit, nor would they fall to the ground with their limbs twitching in flames.

Just as Xibi helped the three men aim their Brest pistols, the other party fell to the ground and burned rapidly. Such a strange situation made them even more stunned. They turned their heads to look in the direction of the laser, and then shouted in unison: "Chiba?"

"Ah, it's Captain Chiba!"

Nakajima Tsutomu and Koda Toshiyuki quickly stood at attention and saluted, and Kibi Gosuke also saluted, then stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

After saying this, he remembered that Makuo Kirino, who came to support them but crashed into this mountain and has not been found since then, according to his information, is currently working for the Space Adventure Team.

"I heard something very strange happened here. I happened to be on Earth, so I came to take a look." Qianye Cheng lowered the muzzle of his gun, but did not put it away. He stared at the village in front of him shrouded in thin morning mist and said, "It looks like it may be another rainbow magic realm."

"Could it be that there is also a Hilbagon in here?" Toshiyuki Koda's eyes suddenly widened. That was a terrible monster that could only be torn apart by hand. They were really lucky that they stayed there for a whole night without being attacked.

"Can you tell me about your experience last night?"

"Oh well."

Nakajima Tsutomu quickly used brief language to recount what had happened to them last night, especially emphasizing the horror and weirdness of that section of the journey so that Chiba Makoto could empathize with them.

"You mean, the patrolman named Yamada suddenly appeared, took you to his train hut, and wanted you to find me to deal with the evil spirits haunting the village."

"Yes, that's right, that's what he said."

"Well, I have a small question," Chiba Makoto asked doubtfully, "Before you left, did Village Chief Yamada wake up? Did you go to say goodbye to him? Did you ask how to leave the village? Or, do you want to know more about that place?"

"."

Kihiko Tsūsuke, Koda Toshiyuki, and Nakajima Tsutomu were all stunned, then looked at each other, and saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.

Yes, there are obviously many things that they don’t understand and many questions that they want to ask, so why did they leave in such a hurry after waking up so early in the morning without even going to see Village Chief Yamada?

Looking back now, it seems that they were unaware of this person's existence. The only thing they thought about was "leaving", and then they hurried out.

Qianye Cheng probably understood from the expressions of the three of them. He turned around and looked thoughtfully at the mountain village in front of him and the two tall mountains behind the village. He said to himself, "It seems that this place doesn't welcome outsiders."

"What do you mean by that?"

Kibi Gosuke was also looking at the mountain, and from what Chiba Makoto said, he wondered if this place was like a person and had self-awareness, otherwise where would the likes and dislikes come from?

"Ever heard of Gaia?"

"Gaia!"

There is a tendency for question marks to appear on Toshiyuki Koda's forehead.

"Are you talking about the Earth's pan-consciousness?" Nakajima Tsutomu's eyes lit up, because this was a field he knew about, and he immediately explained in a popular science way: "This is a hypothesis proposed by the scientific community, which is to regard the Earth as a whole, just like a cell, the atmosphere is the cell wall, the air is the cell fluid, the crust is the cytoplasm, and the core is the cell nucleus.

According to this theory, if the earth is regarded as a living organism, then the consciousness of the earth is the pan-consciousness composed of the consciousness of all life on earth. "

"Pan-consciousness?"

Seeing that his teammates still didn't understand, Nakajima Tsutomu thought for a moment and continued to give examples, saying, "For example, if we consider the Super Victory Team as a whole, then the Super Victory Team's pan-consciousness is the collection of our consciousnesses. If we all hate one person, then the Super Victory Team's pan-consciousness will also hate one person."

"Oh!" Koda Toshiyuki immediately understood and said, "Isn't this the faction in the game?"

"Well, it's okay if you think so." Nakajima Tsutomu grinned. He felt that although this was not very accurate, for a layman, it was enough to know this. It was not like making a nuclear bomb, so why bother with being so precise.

"So the people of this village don't welcome outsiders, so we were excluded and left in a hurry early in the morning." Kibi Kosuke also understood and immediately associated it with their experience.

If it is explained by "pan-consciousness", it is indeed more scientific than "guilt". Although "pan-consciousness" is still a theory and has not been confirmed, it is easier for people to accept.

"I'm afraid it's more than just humans."

Chiba Makoto's meaningful words made Nakajima Tsutomu's heart rise again, and he said in a trembling voice: "It can't be true."

"You can call it a collection of consciousness if you want." Qianye Cheng said as he stepped forward and said, "I'll go in and take a look. You can rest for a while and eat something. I brought some pineapple buns and put them in your Alpha."

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you." Kibi Gangsuke hurriedly caught up, and at the same time, he turned around and said, "You guys go start the Alpha and wait in the air."

Koda Toshiyuki and Nakajima Tsutomu wanted to say something else, but Chiba Makoto and the captain had already walked into the mist. Then the air seemed to be distorted and rippled like water, and then the two figures disappeared.

"This"

Such a surreal scene made Nakajima Tsutomu, a scientist, widen his eyes. It was certain now that this was another "Rainbow Magic Realm". Those in the scientific research department, especially those who specialized in space science, would definitely be very excited. After all, since the disappearance of the Rainbow Magic Realm, they had lost the most intuitive research samples and could only rely on imagination and reasoning.

"Captain, captain!"

Koda Toshiyuki called out, but the only response he got was "Sha! Sha!", which meant no signal. In other words, he couldn't contact the captain. Apparently, the mist covering the village was like a thin film that isolated space, cutting off communication.

But when they came out, the communication with the headquarters was not only unimpeded, but the signal was also extremely clear.

But now as soon as I entered, the signal was interrupted.

It seems that what Captain Chiba said about "unwelcome" is not groundless, but is very likely to be true.

With this thought in mind, looking at this mountain again, Koda Toshiyuki felt a little nervous. He quickly dragged Nakajima Tsutomu into the cockpit of the Alpha, started the engine at the fastest speed, and then flew into the sky. The captain followed Tiga, which was absolutely safe, but the two of them standing here looked like two different dishes.

Kibi Gosuke, who entered the village with Chiba Makoto, had been paying attention to WIT. When the communication signal suddenly dropped to X, he looked back and found that it was no longer the road he had taken before entering the village. Instead, it was an unfamiliar road.

Although Chiba Makoto looked confident and walked forward with big strides, Kibi Gosuke couldn't help but say, "Captain Chiba, the way we came here has changed."

"The Rainbow Magic Mirror, the witch on Halloween, and the alternate dimension created by Ahot are all like this, as if hiding the road can scare people."

Listening to Chiba Makoto's disdainful words, Kibi Gosuke wanted to say, "This can really scare ordinary people." After all, human fear comes from the darkness and the unknown.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly found myself taking the wrong road. At this moment, I was on an unfamiliar road. Even if everything on the road was normal, there were no strange sounds or things, just the association of my brain could scare me to death.

"So where are we going now?" Kibi Tsunade looked ahead and saw a winding path in the village. The width was probably only enough for a tricycle to pass through, and there was no room for a car to pass through.

The houses on both sides were also silent, and the further in you went, the more dilapidated the houses became. The overgrown weeds in the yards were taller, giving a feeling of walking into an uninhabited place.

"Go find Yamada and see if he still knows where Mr. Ida Iiryu is."

Ida Iryu!

Kihiko Kosuke had just heard this name last night.

"He really knows you, right? Is what he said true?"

"That's about right. When Chief Yamada was on patrol, he met Ida Iiryu, who was only a wisp of soul left. Because the Sukuna ghost was about to wake up, Mr. Ida Iiryu temporarily possessed Chief Yamada's body to use Chief Yamada's body to move.

Later, the Sukuna ghost was eliminated, and the village chief Yamada was old and frail, so he returned here with Mr. Ida Iiryu to guard the vengeful spirit sealed in the mountain to prevent it from coming out and causing trouble for the world. "

"It's all true." Kibi Tsunade murmured to himself. He thought it was unbelievable, but who would have thought it was true.

This is unbelievable to think about. Not only the soul of the real village chief, but also the soul of the demon hunter from the Warring States Period can survive to this day.

In this case
"It seems that the evil spirit in the mountain has broken the seal and come out."

If we think along this line of thought, we can find the source of the weirdness of this village.

Just like the Sukuna ghost, the vengeful spirit sealed in the mountain has revived, causing trouble in the area and leading to the disappearance of mountain village residents and rescue team members.

Thinking of this, Kibi Gosuke quickly asked about the whereabouts of these people.

"That's why I wanted to find Village Chief Yamada, because Mr. Iida Iiryu is the expert in this field. I hope he is still safe." Chiba Makoto's expression also became serious.

Is the village chief Yamada that Kihiko and his friends met last night really Yamada?

If so, where is Jingtian Jinglong?
Even if the vengeful spirits in the mountains revived, as long as Jingtian Jinglong was still there, even if his power was extremely weakened, he should not be unable to send out a single message.

Jingtian Jinglong is not a newcomer. He has eliminated countless monsters and demons in his life. No matter how powerful the vengeful spirits in Erdao Mountain are, they are just defeated generals to Jingtian Jinglong. There must be a way to leave and send a message.

Unless Jingtian Jinglong is no longer around, or the vengeful spirit first targets Jingtian Jinglong, Jingtian Jinglong will be crushed directly.

But this brings up another problem. The reason why a vengeful spirit is called a vengeful spirit is because it only has a breath of resentment left. It has completely lost its sanity and has no wisdom at all.

So if the vengeful spirit really did something wise, then there must be someone controlling it behind the scenes.

"It seems that this incident with the vengeful spirit may not be that simple." Chiba Makoto thought to himself.

As soon as he thought of this, Chiba Makoto stopped, and then Kibi Gosuke also stopped, because they had already left the village in front of them, and there was a large forest that opened up.

It is summer, the season when everything grows, but this endless forest is filled with dead branches and rotten leaves.

There is not a trace of green, not a single sprout to be found.

It's like a dead zone.

"This is... this is where we were last night." Kibi Tsunade recognized it immediately; they had been here last night.

But at that time, I was not surprised or puzzled why all the trees here were withered.

Qianye Cheng paused for only a moment, then continued to move forward, saying as he walked: "We are going to deal with that guy, don't block our way."

"???"

Kibi Gosuke's eyes suddenly widened. Is this person talking to him?
But it doesn't sound like it.

If you're not talking to yourself, then who are you talking to?

Is there a third person here?

Or.
not human! ! !
Thinking of this, even though it was broad daylight, Kibi Kosuke couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

What surprised Kihiko Tsunade even more was that the withered forest that seemed endless just now was now walked out of after just a dozen steps. Looking back, there were still trees standing next to each other and crowded together. Even the area he could see was not within a dozen steps, but he walked out of it anyway.

This place is really weird.

Although he really wanted to ask what that was, the railway line and the cabin where Liusu stayed last night appeared in front of him. Kibi Gosuke could only suppress all his questions for the time being and followed Chiba Makoto towards the cabin that stood alone in the wilderness.

When I walked to the front of the house, I saw the village chief Yamada sitting on the almost collapsed chair at the door, gazing at the mountains in the distance, and said, "You came too late. Mr. Jingtian discovered that it was about to wake up a few months ago, but you were not here, so Mr. Jingtian had to do it himself. He asked me to insert the sword into the seal and re-possess myself on the sword, hoping to suppress the vengeful spirit again, at least until you come back.

Unfortunately, the resentment of the vengeful spirits was too much, and soon, the resentment spread out, causing strange phenomena to occur frequently in the village, and then I couldn’t get out. At first, I just wandered around, and then I disappeared inexplicably. Now I am the only one left."
