Although Japan is also a country with an eternal lineage and its heritage has never been broken, it was civilized late. It was still in the Paleolithic Age in 300 BC. Pay attention to the word "old".
In 300 BC, China was already in the Spring and Autumn Period, when a large country would have thousands of chariots and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. In comparison, the Japanese, who still used stone tools and knotted ropes to record events, were barbarians.
At that time, they didn't even have oracle bones, and their language was only in its rudiments. They mainly communicated through various howls and drum beats.
After 300 BC, Japan entered the Yayoi period. The name sounds like a very civilized era, right? In fact, the Yayoi civilization was a Neolithic civilization, and the people were still savages.
During the Yayoi period, people continued to cross the sea from Korea to the east, bringing with them various advanced technologies and cultures. Japan spent more than 500 years learning from them, and finally in the late Yayoi period it acquired its own language and established the country of Yamatai.
Where did Korean civilization come from? Of course it came from further west.
So from the perspective of the genealogy of civilization, Korean civilization is the son of Chinese civilization, and Yamato civilization is the son of Korean civilization, and can be considered the grandson of Chinese civilization.
Look at Korea and Japan, they both use Chinese characters. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Korea and Japan still thought it was cool to use Chinese characters. In order to highlight their knowledge, intellectuals used Chinese characters to communicate.
Later we were defeated and beaten by our grandsons, and people no longer respected us.
This tells us that to discipline our children and grandchildren, we still need a big stick to be effective. Knowledge and etiquette alone are not enough.
What’s interesting is that after Japan defeated the Qing Dynasty, it felt that it was awesome, but it did not say how awesome Yamato was. No, it said, “Yamato is the legitimate successor of China, so it’s awesome.” Therefore, Japan in the imperialist era particularly emphasized the use of Chinese characters.
The names of warships must be in Chinese characters, and the pronunciation of many ship names is different from that of everyday Chinese characters, which is to highlight the "origin".
For example, when they were going to do something big, they would raise a flag, and the words written on the flag must be Chinese characters, such as 尊X叨X.
Later, when it came to Kamikaze, the Kamikaze team members would wear headbands with the Chinese characters "必胜" on them.
So from the perspective of civilization lineage, it is just a grandson, and it has to say "I am the legitimate descendant of my grandfather" in order to gain confidence.
In short, after drinking Jeanne's wine, Masha realized that Japanese mythology was unreliable. What about the Kojiki and the Nihonshoki? When the mythological era was written, thousands or tens of thousands of years had passed. How could they still record the mythological era?
The gods who are attached to Komachi are definitely not the gods of Japan. According to the current situation, most of the gods in Japanese mythology did not exist in history and are the product of nature worship by ignorant primitive people.
The myths in this world can be divided into two categories. One is the memory of the mythological era by our ancestors, and the other is the nature worship generated by the awe of natural phenomena.
Originally, everyone thought that the root of all myths was the nature worship that arose from the ancient people's awe of natural phenomena, which is obviously wrong.
Well, since Chinese mythology is actually historical facts of the mythological era recorded by our ancestors, studying mythology can help us speculate on the direction of the country after the revival of spiritual energy.
Masha had previously concluded that humans were the "medium" created by Nuwa to efficiently transform spiritual energy into souls.
On this basis, it is very interesting to look at ancient mythology, especially the myths before Nuwa created humans.
In mythology, Nuwa herself was half human, half snake, a snake spirit, and so was her brother Fuxi.
Masha estimated that before Nuwa created humans and repaired the sky - which was actually suppressing the spiritual energy - the world was filled with all kinds of monsters that had turned into spirits due to excessive spiritual energy.
The various mythical beasts and monsters recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are probably the products of an era when spiritual energy was not suppressed.
In other words, spiritual energy does not necessarily condense into a soul, it may simply enhance the various abilities of an organism.
Or give organisms some strange characteristics.
It may even affect various objects.
As the Nine Cauldrons gradually become less effective and spiritual energy becomes abundant, it is possible that the various things recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas may reappear.
So, the question is, what changes will happen to human beings, the medium for refining spiritual energy created by Nuwa, in high-concentration spiritual energy?
Masha felt that he needed to observe it. After all, in his fairyland, the concentration of spiritual energy could be adjusted artificially, and he could stop the experiment immediately after observing slight adverse reactions.
Therefore, he needs a group of ordinary people under his command to conduct reaction tests under high concentrations of spiritual energy.
It will be too late to study countermeasures when the global spiritual energy reaches a certain level and all of humanity begins to experience adverse reactions.
Masha told all this to the League Secretary in a concise manner. When speaking, he made sure to lower his head so that the League Secretary could cover his mouth and no one could read his lips to know what he was saying.
After listening to this, the League Secretary asked back: "Don't you think you should have asked for consent first?"
"You mean, tell the senior sister all the truth? Then if she falls into the hands of the enemy, she will tell everything about her psychic ability? No, I won't do that. I won't even let the senior sister realize that she participated in this experiment. I won't whitewash my behavior. This is what evil people do. But for me, this is a necessary evil. I can be an evil person."
"Didn't you say you were of the chaotic good camp?"
"Look, you don't understand the faction system, right? This is what the Chaotic Good faction does. For the good that you believe in, you are willing to do evil things. This is Chaotic Good. That's why old DND players would say that sometimes people in the Chaotic Good faction look like the real villains."

Chapter 451: Sailboat, I like sailboat! (Update )
That night, when Xue Jianmei was about to leave the store, Masha stood in front of her.
"I told you that you have to live with me." Masha was very serious. "Now I am the focus of attention of intelligence agencies of various countries and various people with ill intentions. They must know that you are my employee. It will be dangerous if you leave me. Staying in this maid shop is safe. Because they dare not offend me too blatantly."
Xue Jianmei frowned slightly, "Is it that serious?"
Masha nodded.
Xue Jianmei: "Then I will never be able to leave you in the future? Also, my parents will be in danger, right? The parents of everyone here are in danger, right?"
“Greater China will be responsible for protecting them.”
"Then the Greater China Region should also be responsible for protecting me." Xue Jianmei smiled, "Junior brother, if you want me to stay, you should just say so."
"I want you to stay." Masha said simply.
Xue Jianmei's apple cheeks look brighter.
"Yeah." She responded softly, putting down the handbag she had just picked up.
Masha immediately put his arm around Xue Jianmei's waist and said, "Come, I'll show you around my paradise."
After saying that, Masha turned around and saw a group of girls at the food counter in the back kitchen sticking their heads out and looking over here. The moment their eyes met, they all retracted their heads and hid.
Masha held Xue Jianmei's hand and left the store through the door leading to the garage.
When I entered the corridor leading to the garage, I ran into Xiao Shi who was holding Baiquan.
As soon as Baiquan saw Masha, he yelled, "I'm very smart. Brainwashing has no effect on me! I will bite you back, bite you back!"
"I won't brainwash her. By the way, Xiao Shi, bring her along."
"Okay." Xiao Shi picked up Bai Quan with a smile, "That's great, now you can finally see all our secrets."
"Well," Xue Jianmei looked at the completely wilted Bai Quan and seemed to be moved by sympathy, "If she wants to go back, let her go back. It won't be a problem for such a young child, right?"
"No, she's very smart. If we let her come and go freely to gather intelligence, she might see something she shouldn't see. Anyway, she was originally sent by the Japanese to marry a foreign princess. If I don't let her go back now, the Japanese will be happy."
Baiquan stared at Masa and shouted in Japanese: "Devil! Devil! Daikon chicken!"
Masha was very happy: "Oh, there really is a swear word called "Big Radish Chicken". I thought it was made up in "The Ryuo's Work Is Not Done" to make the heroine cute."
As he spoke, he pulled Xue Jianmei towards the garage, and Xiao Shi followed behind, holding Bai Quan in his arms.
When Xiao Shi got serious, Bai Quan couldn't break free with his physical strength.
Bai Quan was so smart that she certainly understood this. She struggled symbolically for a few times, then kicked her legs and gave up.
Martha entered the garage immediately and was about to get in the car when she heard Bai Quan read in Japanese: "何を cherish the love and hate the love."
Masha stopped, looked back at her and asked, "Why is it Tao Qingxian's farewell poem?"
"Because I only know this sentence by heart, Bakayaloo!"
While cursing, Baiquan stretched out his legs desperately to kick Masha, but his legs were too short.
Xiao Shi: "How come you, Masha, can recognize this as Tao Qingxian's farewell poem even though you don't understand Japanese?"
"Because I have played every generation of Nobunaga's Ambition, and I like to play the Mori family or the Chosokabe family, I often trigger the Battle of Itsukushima, and I have also watched a lot of Taiga dramas related to the Battle of Itsukushima."
Baiquan: "I can understand that you like the Mori family, but it's rare to like the Chosokabe family!"
"In Nobunaga's Ambition, the family emblem of the Chosokabe family is a sailboat. I like sailboats." Masha said, "And I like sailboats because of Zheng Zhihua. He said that this little pain in the wind and rain is nothing..."
When Masha started singing, Xue Jianmei couldn't stop laughing: "Like someone for this reason, it's really very much your style, Masha."
Baiquan had an expression that said "this idiot is hopeless" and said, "Are you stupid?"
"Yes." Masha readily admitted, "By the way, I also like to use the Hojo family in Nobunaga's Ambition."
"Because there is more good land for farming?"
"No, it's because I really like the Confucian general Hojo in the Taiga drama, who drinks tea and smiles as he watches the helpless Uesugi family withdraw their troops on the tower of the Odawara castle that he built with great effort. Farming and killing the enemy is the ultimate dream of every strategy game player who loves farming!"
Baiquan looked at Masha and said, "I suddenly feel that I am a fool for trying so hard to spy on you."
"Oh, you can even use an idiom like chuxinjilu?" Masha squinted at Baiquan, "Wow, even the fourth and fifth graders here may not be able to use such a word."
Xue Jianmei suddenly said, "That's right. I went to teach my aunt's son during the summer vacation. He was in the fifth grade of elementary school. He used three idioms in his 400-word composition, and he used them all incorrectly."
Masha thought that your aunt's son might only have an IQ of 8 or 9.
Baiquan covered his mouth.
Obviously realized he was exposed.
Masha: "Don't cover your mouth. I can tell you speak Chinese very well."
——Actually, I used cheating to look at your attribute table and found out that you have extremely high intelligence.
Baiquan stuck out his tongue.
Xiao Shi: "Um, have we been standing in the garage for too long?"
"Oh, yes." Masha turned around, opened the door of the van, and gestured to Xue Jianmei to invite her in.
Xue Jianmei got into the car in confusion, and when she saw the trunk leading to the world inside the car, she was so shocked that she took a step back. Her feet were out of the car, and she missed a step and fell into Masha's arms.
"This is..." Xue Jianmei pointed at the world in the car and seemed to have lost the ability to speak for a moment.
Masha smiled and said, "I told you, my house is pretty big. Do you want to see it?"
Baiquan: "Wow, so weak, it really makes people want to protect her. Big sister, you are an expert!"
After she stopped hiding her accent, her Chinese was really fluent, and she even had a bit of Chen Zhongwu's accent.
Yes, it’s Chen Zhongwu’s accent. It seems that this little guy has been familiar with Chen Zhongwu and the others for a long time.
Xue Jianmei quickly stood up and said, "No, I was really shocked."
"I know. Come, Sister Xue, let me show you around my house."
Masha hugged Xue Jianmei and entered the world in the car.
"Your setup is interesting." Xue Jianmei looked at the mini sun. "Using this light to illuminate the solar panel, is this a play on the plot of Chinese Love Poems? 'The solar flashlight I invented can glow in the sun, and at night, I can just shine another flashlight on it to make it glow', is that right?"
——No, it's the sun.
Masha smiled and said, "There are actually some reasons for this. I will tell you when the time comes."
He glanced at the time and silently wrote it down, so that he could calculate how long to delete Sister Xue's memory later. His main goal was to let Xue Jianmei stay in a high concentration of spiritual energy to see the human body's reaction. This required Xue Jianmei to enter the fairyland. In order not to increase the risk of the fairyland's secrets being leaked, Xue Jianmei's memory must be deleted afterwards.
Then he snapped his fingers and opened the door in front of Sister Xue.

Chapter 452 Then there is only one answer (rd update)
Xue Jianmei entered the random door and gasped.
This is a very normal reaction, because after the island wonderland has gathered a large amount of spiritual energy, the already beautiful scenery is now even more beautiful and has a more fairyland-like flavor.
The blue baby's breath all over the ground, the big banyan tree emitting a faint glow, and the apple tree that inexplicably bloomed, all of these plus the silvery white beach under the sun and the waves that kept washing the beach as if they would never stop -
Now this place is a veritable wonderland.
It's just that the solar panels are an eyesore.
Xue Jianmei looked at the solar panels and couldn't help laughing. Then she turned around and asked Masha, "Where is this? An island in the South China Sea?"
"Where can such an island be found in the South China Sea? Use your knowledge of geography. How could such a small island reef, so far from the mainland, possibly accumulate sand? And a big banyan tree like this would have been blown away by a storm if it grew on such a small island."
Masha was shocked and said, Sister Xue, no wonder you had to repeat a grade.
He said something very rude, but Xue Jianmei was not annoyed at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "Yes, of course I'm not as smart as you. I think only a few people can think of so many things when they see this island for the first time."
Masha asked back, “Really?”
"Masha, you have a bad habit. You always unconsciously show your superiority. You actually know that you are smarter than ordinary people, but you always pretend that you don't know this. Then, whenever you find that others can't do it, you openly express your surprise, 'What? You can't do it?' I don't know if you do it on purpose, but this is what you usually do."
Baiquan: "Wow, big sister, you hit the nail on the head."
