Duanmu Baiyun of Konoha

Chapter 391 Konoha and Daimyo

Walking in this small town named Anduofu, Duanmu also felt very novel.He had never observed the lives of ordinary people in the Land of Fire so patiently.

In the middle of the town, Duanmu found a square.

On both sides of the square, there are six marble stone pillars on each side.

On the opposite side of the square is a temple.

Logically speaking, when encountering such a religious building, Duanmu would choose to stay away.But tonight, out of curiosity, he went to the temple to see what was going on here.

There is a plaque hanging on the temple, and the four characters of "Shenwu Temple" are written on it.

There was no one around, Duanmu pushed open the door of the temple.

By the moonlight, Duanmu looked at the furnishings in the temple.

On the front are two statues.One is Shenwu Dashen, the first daimyo of Fire Kingdom.The other one, known to Duanmu, is a contemporary daimyo.

Looking at the statue of the contemporary daimyo, Duanmu thought to himself, so this is one of the means by which the daimyo ruled the land of fire...
The moonlight shone on the two statues, and the eyes of the statues hidden in the shadows were even more sinister.

The statue is three meters high and even majestic.

At the foot of the statue, Duanmu saw fragments that had fallen over the years, and they were just clay sculptures.

Withdrawing his gaze from the statue, Duanmu walked around in the temple.

On the walls and roof of the temple, there are coherent murals.

A big ship rides the wind and waves, sailing on the boundless sea, the god of martial arts stands on the bow...
On a port, a group of people are landing.The god of martial arts is the leader, followed by many pairs of boys and girls, as well as various craftsmen.

There is a line of words written on the mural here: "In the name of seeking immortals, the Great God of Martial Arts came across the sea from the kingdom of heaven, bringing with him [-] boys and girls, and [-] craftsmen, a total of more than [-] people."

Duanmu looked at these descriptions, sure enough, it had something to do with Xu Fu Dongdu that Duanmu knew.

Subsequently, the murals began to show the miracles of the gods and warriors.

Waving to the sun, bringing fire to people.

Beckon to the earth and bring rice seeds to people.

Beckon to the mountains and bring iron ore to people.

Almighty first daimyo, almighty past daimyo...

Later, the Great God of Martial Arts came to the current position of the capital and established the Kingdom of Fire.

The murals are not over yet. Under the leadership of the God of War, the Land of Fire fights against ancient alien beasts.

In these murals, Duanmu saw a group of ancient giant beasts such as Yamata no Orochi, Penghou, and Shujiao.

Perhaps, many strange abilities in the ninja world originated from the era of Shenwu Dashen.

After Shenwu God died, his sons went to other parts of the mainland and established the Kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Wind and other countries.

It turns out that in mythology, all the countries on the mainland come from one family.

I don't know if the Great God of Martial Arts knows, but the brains of his descendants will fill the Nanhe River...

The last mural of this shrine is a picture of a meeting where the grandfather of the contemporary daimyo signed a contract with the first Hokage of Konoha Village to establish a one-village, one-country system.

"Come out!"

Duanmu shouted back, he had already sensed that another person had also come to the temple.

A figure appeared at the door, it was Dororo.

"Let's go, let's talk in another place, it makes me uncomfortable."

After all, Duanmu walked out with Dororo.

On the opposite side of the aisle square, the two sat down on chairs by the side of the road, looking at the dark temple together in a trance.

The two of them wandered in separate minds, thinking about their own affairs.

Dororo was silent for a while, and then said:

"Teacher, do you feel uncomfortable in the temple?"

"Yeah, the education I received since childhood made me very uncomfortable."

"Teacher, can you explain to me?"

"of course can."

"Teacher, what do you think about daimyo?"

Duanmu scratched his head, it was a bit difficult:

"What do you want to ask me about?"

Dororo frowned and thought: "For example, in the myth, the god of martial arts is asking for fire for human beings, but... But after our research, this is wrong!"

"you?"

Dororo said in a low voice: "Maybe... now I'm the only one left..."

Duanmu no longer bothered, everyone has a story.

Duanmu thought for a while and said:
"About the origin of the fire you mentioned, of course it is not something that human beings ask for. Flame is a natural phenomenon, and flames may appear when there is combustion and oxygen."

"Isn't the daimyo lying? Why is no one correcting these mistakes?"

Duanmu is also very difficult, trying to explain his thoughts clearly:

"Well... looking at it now, this is not a question of right or wrong, but a question about religion.

In ancient times, people could not explain many natural phenomena.

People live in endless dangers and unknowns. Facing the fear of nature and the violence of human society, people need spiritual sustenance.

This kind of spiritual sustenance is the root of religion, which is the meaning of daimyo in that era.

Daimyo used to be the bond and banner for people to unite and fight in ancient times, and it was of great significance in that era. "

Dororo didn't listen to Daimyo's good words at all, and hurriedly received:

"What about now? Does the name still have meaning?"

Duanmu has figured out Dororo's attitude, it seems that this kid is very dissatisfied with the daimyo.

"now?

Daimyo is a product of history, it occurs and develops in history.

The root of the daimyo is the ignorance and inability to face nature and violence.

It can only die naturally because of the disappearance of the root.

That is to say, when people are strong enough to rely on their own strength when facing nature and violence instead of asking for help from the gods, the daimyo will naturally lose the soil for survival.

The name is raised by people themselves, and it must be eliminated by people themselves. "

Dororo said with some excitement:

"Teacher Duanmu, have you ever seen the extravagant and brutal life of the daimyo and princes in the capital?
Can't the daimyo be wiped out as soon as possible? "

Duanmu said with some hesitation:
"From the point of view of force, daimyo are easily eliminated by ninjas.

There are many ninjas in history who were able to raze the capital of the Land of Fire to the ground.

But do you know why the ninja villages of the Five Great Nations have never done this? "

Dororo asked puzzledly:

"Why? Can't the ninja kill the daimyo and replace him? Any random ruler in the Land of Fire, even a ninja, must be better than the daimyo!"

Duanmu returned:

"Because the daimyo of the Land of Fire is not just the daimyo, but a whole set of religions.

So what if you kill the daimyo?
The temples in various places will also select new daimyos with the bloodline of Shenwu Dashen.

The history of ninja is only 1000 years, but the history of daimyo is more than 2000 years.

In the past 2000 years, the daimyo has encountered many enemies, but the daimyo still stands firm.

Although this is my first contact with daimyo's shrines today, there must be a powerful shrine system all over the Land of Fire.

Their combat strength may not be very strong, but they must have developed a set of powerful means of defending and preaching.

For more than 2000 years, these methods have been repeatedly polished and tested, and every reaction of people has been predicted and responded to, forming a strong inertia.

It is easy to kill the daimyo, but it is very difficult to solve the situation after that.

Again, the daimyo can only perish naturally.

As the boundaries of people's capabilities expand, as people conquer more and more unknowns, daimyo will naturally die out.

Force cannot solve the problem in the case of the daimyo.

On the contrary, once resorting to force, countless extremists full of violence will definitely be created.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Konoha chose to cooperate with the daimyo. "

In Duanmu's previous life, science was so advanced, and religion still had strong vitality, not to mention this ninja world.The first generation can eliminate the daimyo, but it cannot eliminate the fanaticism in the eyes of countless believers.

Dororo lowered his head in disappointment, he raised his head again, and asked doubtfully:

"Teacher Duanmu, why do you know so much when you first came into contact with the temple of the daimyo?"

Duanmu patted Dororo on the shoulder and said:
"Without diamonds, how dare you come out and be a teacher?"
