After rebirth, they all want to monopolize me

Chapter 169 I never expected it, it was her!
Jiang Li stroked his chin; he also had some knowledge of the Yamata no Orochi from Japan.

This is a common monster in many second-generation games, and it is frequently attacked and killed by players.

In the mythology of the island nation, Yamata no Orochi is a giant red-eyed serpent with eight heads and eight tails and a body as large as a mountain, which wreaks havoc on Izumo Province every year.

When Susanoo was exiled from Takamagahara to Izumo Province, he was traveling along the Hi River when he encountered an elderly couple upstream who were holding a young woman and weeping loudly.

Upon seeing this, Su Jianwu Zun couldn't help but ask the elderly couple the reason.

The elderly couple said they were descendants of the mountain god Ōyamatsumi-no-kami, and originally had eight daughters, who are the eight maidens in most of the Niyū-yū (a type of Japanese pilgrimage).

However, the first seven of them had already been eaten by a creature called Yamata no Orochi, which came from Takashi and would devour people once a year.

The elderly couple were weeping for their youngest daughter, Princess Kushinada, who was about to face the same fate.

Upon hearing this, Susanoo volunteered to subdue the approaching Yamata no Orochi, but on the condition that he would marry Kushinada-hime to him after the deed was done.

If there's only a reason, then it's even simpler.

Susanoo was attracted by the beauty of Princess Kushinada; it was simply a case of "lust at first sight."

The couple agreed when they learned that he was the younger brother of Amaterasu Omikami.

To protect Princess Kushinada, Susanoo transformed her into a comb and inserted it into his hair. He then ordered the couple to brew strong liquor, and they dug eight holes in the ground, placing barrels filled with the liquor in each hole.

Later, the Yamata no Orochi emerged from the raging sea. Upon arriving at the scene, the Yamata no Orochi smelled the aroma of wine, and each of its eight heads burrowed into one of its eight holes to drink the strong liquor. Then, it became drunk, collapsed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Susanoo brandished the "Ten-Fist Sword" and prepared to slay the Yamata no Orochi.

However, when cutting to the tail, the blade of the Totsuka Sword was chipped, and upon dissecting the tail piece by piece, it was discovered that it contained a hard and sharp sword.

This sword is the famous "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi" from the island nation.

Susanoo-no-Mikoto later gave the sword to Amaterasu-Omikami.

From then on, Susanoo married Kushinada-hime and settled in Izumo Province. They lived happily ever after, which can be considered a happy ending.

The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, later known as the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, is one of the three sacred treasures of the Japanese Imperial Family. The other two sacred treasures are the Yasakani no Magatama and the Yata no Kagami.

I've heard that the Yasakani no Magatama is kept in the Imperial Palace of Japan, the Yata no Kagami is kept in the Ise Grand Shrine, and the Ame-no-Murakumo no Tsurugi is kept in the Atsuta Grand Shrine.

However, some people say that these three are actually fakes, and the real ones may have been lost.

"That mirror is the Yata no Kagami?" Jiang Li seemed to understand something.

"No."

Chen Xueman shook her head.

"The purpose of the Yata no Kagami is to guide the light. According to legend, when Amaterasu hid in the Ama-no-Iwato cave because of Susanoo's atrocities, the gods forged this mirror and hung it on a tree to lure her out of the cave. The light reflected from the mirror attracted Amaterasu's attention and eventually brought the light back to the world."

The Amaterasu Mirror is a magical artifact of the Japanese goddess Amaterasu, used in rituals, but it represents darkness.

If the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror) can make all things disappear into nothingness, then the Amaterasu Kagami (Amaterasu Mirror) can draw out the darkness of the other side of all things.

However, both mirrors have the same function: to be used for sacrificial rites.

In fact, in island nations, there are some folk tales that say that the Yamata no Orochi is another manifestation of Amaterasu.

Legend has it that Orochi got drunk, and Susanoo killed him, but it's not that easy.

It is highly likely that Susanoo used Amaterasu to seal away Yamata no Orochi.

Since Amaterasu could seal away Yamata no Orochi.

That day, the Mirror of Heaven could naturally also release the seal on the Yamata no Orochi.

According to the Hojo family's analysis, the Amaterasu Mirror is one of the treasures that can revive the Yamata no Orochi. These past few days, I've been helping the Hojo family search for the Amaterasu Mirror, hoping to seize it and prevent the Yamata no Orochi's resurrection.

Everything was under my control. Tonight, I could break the magic array and retrieve the Amaterasu Mirror. But I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.

After saying this, Chen Xueman's tone became somewhat heavy.

"Is it really that outrageous?"

Jiang Li really didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Although spiritual energy has been revived and many things cannot be deduced by common sense, it is indeed a bit hard to digest when myths and legends are fully reflected in reality.

"So, according to Xueman, those two demons will soon summon that Yamata no Orochi?" Jiang Li asked.

"It's not that simple."

Chen Xueman gave a cold laugh.

"Those two damned things won't be able to revive the Yamata no Orochi so easily. After they obtain the Amaterasu Mirror, they still need to use the Amaterasu Mirror to find Amaterasu no Mikoto, and then use Amaterasu no Mikoto to perform a sacrifice before they can revive the Yamata no Orochi!"

Do those guys just think they have spies in the Hojo family?
They're being too optimistic!

As dawn broke, Xiang Yinlong led Ye Huo to a small courtyard.

This small courtyard is located in a rural area on the outskirts of Nagoya.

In this small courtyard, there are more than a dozen wooden stakes.

These wooden stakes were arranged like a magic circle, and a person, both male and female, was tied to each stake.

When these people saw Xiang Yinlong enter the house, they all showed fear in their eyes.

“Let’s begin,” Xiangyinlong said to Yehu.

"understood."

Although Ye Huo was very unhappy, the Amaterasu Mirror was now in his hands, and what he was doing now was indeed to awaken the king.

Since that's the case, I'll listen to him for now and wait until the king wakes up!

Night Calamity opened its hand and unleashed a wind blade.

In an instant, the wind blades severed the necks of these men and women, and blood flowed continuously from their necks. They struggled incessantly until they finally breathed their last in agony.

Blood kept flowing down, as if an invisible hand was manipulating it, eventually drawing a pattern on the ground.

Xiang Yinlong spat the mirror out of his mouth and placed it in the center.

As Xiang Yinlong chanted incantations, the blood on the ground continued to flow.

Within the Amaterasu Mirror, a blurry face gradually appeared.

Soon, the blurry face gradually became clear.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Xiang Yinlong was somewhat taken aback.

Night Calamity also quickly flew to Xiangyinlong's side to see who Amaterasu no Mikoto really was.

"I never expected it to be her!"

Ye Huo stared intently at the woman in the mirror.

The magic circle failed, and Hojo Sana's expressionless face gradually disappeared in the mirror until the mirror returned to calm.
