After confirming that the swords had arrived at Honmaru safely, and the space-time passage had been closed, and Yamata no Orochi could no longer chase after him, Tao resolutely jumped off the light belt.

——Instead of being swallowed alive by this horrible and disgusting guy, she would rather fall into the unknown world.

After all, she couldn't just die now.

Thinking of this, she tried her best to maintain the last sliver of sanity, and used the little spiritual power left to support her body before landing to avoid the damage caused by falling from a high altitude.

——In the process of delaying Yaqi Orochi, she was seriously injured, and what was even more serious was that she had spent a lot of spiritual power, and her current state could not even be treated by herself.

The place where she landed seemed to be a certain forest, and the rich aura of vegetation around her made her feel very comfortable, but it was quite difficult to stand still under extreme weakness.

Moreover, the blurred vision cannot affect her perception of the evil spirit and malice around her.

Something gave off a stench, and they surrounded it while muttering "good smell" and "good smell".

——Weak gods, to monsters, are probably no different from delicacies in front of them.

Her luck, I really don't know if it is good or bad.

— Well, at least it didn't fall straight into the turbulence.

Thinking so bitterly, she gritted her teeth, and her feet turned into roots and penetrated deep into the soil to support her standing body.

"It's just an evil thing gathered by human's evil thoughts, dare to covet the gods?" She squinted her charming red eyes, raised her hand, and stretched her ten fingers quickly, directly turning into sharp branches and piercing the place. A group of evil bodies, "Die to me!!"

The clear air stretched all the way and then exploded directly.

After the screams, the monster was cleaned up, Tao shook, and the branches returned to the wide kimono sleeves, and then the whole person fell to the ground all at once.

There was the sound of footsteps approaching slowly, as if hesitating and probing for something.

Tao pressed the palm of the hand on the ground and folded it up.

——How could there still be a fish that slipped through the net... She really doesn't have any spiritual power now...

"Well, how are you, please?"

It was a girl's voice, soft and crisp, and quite nice.

"Not a demon?" Tao slightly let out a sigh of relief, she twisted her neck and took a look with some difficulty.

——It's the soul of a girl with a ponytail...

Seeing her looking at her, the ghost girl subconsciously seemed a little flustered, but soon she suddenly took a step forward and made a kneeling posture.

"Thank you very much, Lord God, for your life-saving grace. If, if possible, please let me be your divine weapon to protect you!" She lowered her head deeply and knocked her forehead on the ground, sincerely, "I, I..."

——Who is going to save you? I didn't realize you were here at all. No wonder there are monsters in this barren mountains and mountains. It turns out that there are dead spirits wandering around...

If it weren't for the strong malice of those monsters, it would be really difficult for her to find out in her current state.

Tao thought so, and was about to answer the other party with this, but before that, the hands supporting her body had lost strength, and she fell down limply, and her consciousness disappeared immediately.

Before she completely lost consciousness, she only heard the girl's exclamation.

- so noisy...

……

"How are you awake?"

……

"……Um?"

When I opened my eyes, I felt that the bright light hurt my eyes, so Tao covered it with her hand.

"Ah, it looks like I woke up, great."

—— A somewhat familiar gentle female voice

Tao squinted her eyes, removed the hand that was covering her, and looked sideways.

Kneeling at the side was a beautiful woman in a maiden costume with black hair that reached the ground. On her fair forehead was the imprint of a plum blossom.

Tao was stunned, "...Mei Yu?"

Hearing her call out her name, Mei Yu froze for a moment, a little surprised, "You know me?"

"Huh?!" Tao brushed aside the quilt and sat up, "This is——!"

Feeling dizzy for a while, almost like when waking up from a hangover, Tao hugged her head directly, feeling dizzy.

"Oh, please don't force yourself, you are seriously injured." Mei Yu hurriedly stepped forward and gently pushed her back into the bed.

Tao frowned and tried to endure for a while, finally feeling a little bit used to the weak state, and then asked with a puzzled face, "Is this the Tenjin Shrine?"

Mei Yu looked at her, nodded, then smiled and pointed to the girl who was sitting on the other side with a nervous face that Tao had ignored, "She came here behind your back~"

Tao blinked her eyes, turned her head, and sure enough, she saw the girl she saw last before she fell into a coma, "Ah...thank you."

"No, no, please don't say that!" The girl blushed suddenly, she bit her lip and lowered her head as if nervous, "Yes, you saved me first."

"..." Tao blinked again, but decided not to tell her the truth.

The girl seemed to be trying to endure something, her shoulders trembled slightly, and after a long while, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Tao with a puzzled expression in her eyes, "Master God, please give me a name, I want to be your artifact !"

Her eyes were clear with deep anticipation.

"..." Tao's expression went blank for a moment.

Then she heard Mei Yu couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, that's not bad." She hid her mouth with her sleeve and smiled, "If you don't have a magic weapon yet, I think she will definitely become a good magic weapon."

"..." Tao looked at the blushing girl, turned her head back again, closed her eyes, and answered simply and clearly, "No."

"Hey——" the girl's eyes filled with tears instantly, she lowered her head, and muttered for a long time, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry——"

After speaking, she stood up and ran out of the room quickly.

Mei Yu looked at the direction she ran out, and at the god with her eyes closed, who looked like a young girl who had fallen asleep again, and sighed.

Hearing that the girl had already left, Tao opened her eyes again. Instead of going to see Mei Yu, she asked, "What time is it now?"

Mei Yu was stunned, she looked out the window, "Looking at the sky, it should be about the same time..."

"It's not that," Tao's voice was quite calm, "the year name."

Mei Yu seemed a little surprised, but she still answered her question, "The eighth year of Kuanhong (1011)."

"..." Tao didn't speak for a moment, and after a while, she said in a low voice, "Thank you. I want to sleep a little longer."

"Okay, please rest at ease." Mei Yu nodded reasonably, and then quietly retreated.

……

——Kanhiro eight years...

Tao slowly sat up, she looked out of the window with confusion in her eyes.

Although she doesn't know all about history, she remembers this year name very well, because Seimei-sama passed away in the second year of Kanhong (1005), that is to say, the time she is now is still the Heian era.

And the closest to this point in time, the node where there is a space-time converter, is the Battle of Atsuga and Shishan (1189) that started the Kamakura period when she first took over Honmaru and asked from Candlestick Kiri. There is a difference of almost 200 years.

- 200 years...

She lowered her head, looked at the palm protruding from the wide sleeve, and then slowly clenched it.

……

A week later

"That girl, has she become an artifact of the gods?"

Tao sat under the plum tree, resting her chin in boredom and looking at the humans who came and went to the shrine to pray for blessings.

"Yes," Mei Yu nodded with a smile. She was sweeping the leaf-filled courtyard with a broom. "Ordinary human souls can easily become prey for demons. Take her to meet the father-in-law, and the father-in-law agrees to accept her."

Tao nodded and said nothing.

"It's just, why is Miss Tao unwilling to accept that child?" She asked as if she was a little puzzled, "You don't have a magic weapon, do you?"

——Gods without artifacts will have greatly reduced strength, which is quite dangerous.

Especially in Tao's current state, if there is no one to protect her, once she leaves this shrine blessed by the gods, she will be targeted by monsters in minutes.

"..." Tao was silent for a while, and then she replied in a muffled voice, "Although I don't have a magic weapon, I have many, many other weapons, such as short swords, fighting swords, tachi swords, wakizashis, and more. There is a big sword and a long spear..."

"Every one of them is not inferior to the divine weapon." Her gaze seemed to penetrate the courtyard in front of her and landed on a place far, far away, "Therefore, there is no need for me to collect any more divine weapons. ,and……"

——And if they find out, they might make a fuss again, chirping and complaining, how annoying...

But ah, she actually misses that kind of noise...

"Tomorrow," she took a deep breath, and suddenly stood up, "I am going to leave, please convey it to Lord Tianshen for me, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Eh?" Mei Yu was stunned, then frowned, and advised, "You should rest for a while, although the wound has healed, but your divine power has not recovered at all—"

Tao shook her head, "It will be too late when I recover. I can't wait that long."

The author has something to say: Hey, what I’m talking about is depolarization, it’s not the swords, it’s Tao 2333333 She just met the original owner, of course she has to leave Honmaru for a while~
