Hanamaru Shrine under construction

The fact that the people believe in false gods has attracted the attention of the imperial court. It is not surprising that after the Great Pok Festival clears away the evil energy in the world, it will take action to rectify it. But by that time, most people have already tasted the sweetness of offering sacrifices, and they must be banned It's not that easy.

People in later generations often say that one mouth is enough to make a rumor, and it is impossible to refute it. In many cases, the truth is not accepted by the public, and people prefer to speculate on the dark side.In later generations, the way to stop rumors is no longer to post rumors, but to create a hot topic mixed with rumors and reverse it, so that more people will pay attention.

False gods have been spread among the people. Even if the imperial court prohibits it, some people will do it secretly, and some people will even do the opposite. The more it is forbidden, the more they will try.Rather than a tough one-size-fits-all, it is better to spread rumors to discredit the false god, so that human beings will reject it from the bottom of their hearts.Regardless of whether it did some bad things or not, first put the blame on it, anyway, this kind of god who engages in human sacrifice is not a white lotus.

The common people in this era value food most, and children second. Since Yamata no Orochi dared to take advantage of the emptiness to snatch the faith when Chang Shishen was doing things, then swallow the price by the way.Xianyu's hand can't reach all of Japan, but it's still possible to rely on this village to lead the rhythm in Heianjing.

Xianyu did not hide his identity. After the Youchizi incident, Laiguang was exposed when he left Arashiyama.The deeds of Demon Slaying General Minamoto Raimitsu are also well-known among the common people, and people still want to believe his child.

Compared with Xianyu, this priest who appeared after the insect plague seemed quite suspicious, an outsider who promoted strange gods.What Xianyu said just now may not stand up to scrutiny, but the angry civilians need a punching bag to vent their anger.

The changed gazes of the surrounding villagers caused the priest to move back. His majesty was lost long ago when thousands of sons and grandsons were hit by stones. As he retreated, he waved his hands and said, "I am the messenger of the snake god. Don't want to live?!"

"You ordered the worms to destroy the crops, and even sacrificed their wives and daughters. You didn't intend to survive." Xianyu added fuel to the fire.As soon as she opened her mouth like this, the villagers also agreed.

"That's right, our village was originally fine, but something happened as soon as your god appeared!"

"When the crops are gone, we can grow them, but there are not many women in our village. If the mothers of the children are gone, there are no children to continue."

"The worms gnaw on the fields and don't distinguish between high and low. I heard that there is no food in the aristocratic fields. They must have a trick. Don't believe in this evil god, when the time comes, Beijing will ignore us!"

"I've heard of this snake god. It came out a while ago. At that time, there were more monsters..."

"When you say that, I also think that after the rumor of the snake god appeared in the capital, the monsters became more numerous and fiercer!"

"It's too bad, this guy, I said why my son suddenly broke his leg, he has never fallen before..."

"It must be polluted with filth. Two children drowned in the river next to the village this year!"

"Our family also..."

In fact, there are various accidents in the village every year. Of course, these cannot be caused by Yamata no Orochi, but pure coincidences.It's just that people like to blame all the crimes on the people they hate. This is also a way to shirk responsibility and relieve pressure.But now, the person who suffered the slander of Zi Xuwu has become Yamata no Orochi.

Xianyu was about to laugh when he heard it.

The priest obviously didn't have the ability to deal with this kind of situation. Once he was used to being admired, he panicked when faced with backlash. He drew his sword and said, "Stop! Whoever dares to come over, you will be punished by the snake god!"

"Since your snake god is so powerful, then drive out the insects just like me." Xianyu spread his hands.

The priest shut up immediately, the snake god really gave them some strength, but, there is no deworming!These people were originally people who sacrificed to the snake god to get benefits. They were not priests who had been educated by priests. They did not know any basic spells.

Seeing the expressions of the villagers wishing to cut him to pieces, the pseudo-priest felt a little weak. He turned his eyes and glanced at Xianyu, thinking that he couldn't deal with so many civilians, so maybe he could use this nobleman as a hostage ...

Xiwan, who followed Xianyu, was squeezed out of the crowd and couldn't get to the front at all. After all, he was neither a child who could get through his legs, nor did Xianyu have the cheekiness to jump in line.Looking at the row of heads in front of him, Keimaru was very anxious, kept wandering outside, and said, "Excuse me, please let me go, that..."

It's a pity that the voices of the villagers denouncing the false gods and priests completely overwhelmed his shouts.

On the roof of the shrine, Higaki rested his chin with one hand, watching his younger brother scrambling into the crowd.Noticing that the priest below was approaching his Ji Jun, he tilted his head slightly, picked up the tile under him and smashed it down.

Snapped!

The priest screamed while covering his hand that was hit by the tiles, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.Xianyu hurried over to pick up the Taidao, and hid aside.

Once the priest no longer had the murder weapon in his hands, the villagers became more courageous. They joined forces, men, women and children, and surrounded him with beatings to death.The priest was dizzy from the beating, and he still remembered any spells. He was beaten unconscious and didn't use the power given by Yamata no Orochi.

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop beating!" The older villager shouted loudly when he was almost out of anger.He is a more prestigious existence in the village, so everyone stopped when he called out, only a few children took the opportunity to stamp their feet again.

After stopping, the villagers tied up the false priest with ropes, and the older villager who spoke just now suggested, "Take him, call all the people in the nearby villages, and let's go to the Inari Shrine together! Dedicate this bastard to Inari God !"

"That's right, we have captured the priest of the evil god, God Inari will have mercy on us! Our crops can come back!" Everyone thought this idea was great, and they all cheered.So the priest who had been beaten to his last breath was dragged by several young and strong men and taken to the Inari Shrine as a sacrifice.

Xianyu did not intervene in the following matters, and after the villagers made a decision, she retreated to the ox cart.Seeing her coming out of the villagers safely, Keemaru said with lingering fear, "Master, please don't leave me and brother behind in future actions!"

"I'm here." Mustache waved his hand on the roof.

"Brother, it's too impolite to sit on the shrine!" Katsumaru originally thought that his brother was crowded into the crowd like himself.

Higakiri jumped down from the shrine, and said to the worship hall, "Oh, that's it, I'm so disturbing."

While the two brothers were talking, Xianyu climbed into the bullock cart again, and when the two of them stopped, she opened the curtain and said, "Let's go back, we'll wait for the news." The gods in Gaotianyuan don't care about humans life and death, but will not allow anyone to violate their authority.Besides, it's not just Inari God who offended Chang Shishen's operation.

Sitting in the car, Xianyu thought for a while, and said, "Kemaru, can I ask you to run for a while? If you meet the priests of Yamata no Orochi again, don't let them hurt the villagers."

Keimaru turned his head and glanced at Higakiri, thinking that it would be no problem to have his brother around, so he agreed.

The angry villagers didn't notice Xianyu's departure, they dispersed, planning to gather everyone to worship Inari God.The villages that had been separated from each other because of land disputes were also united at this moment. Everyone was desperate because of the destruction of crops. Now that there is a way out, they no longer care about the past.

At the same time, several snake god priests who took the opportunity to grab their faith ran into the muzzle of their guns.

"These priests are liars, don't be fooled!"

"If you say you're not a liar, you're going to drive out the worms just like our village! Look, you can't do it, can you? A false god!"

"A real god can drive away bugs!"

There was no need for the secretly guarding Kagemaru to take action, and the priests were overwhelmed by the angry villagers, so three more sacrifices were offered to Inari God.The number four is obviously unlucky, and the villagers felt that these false priests were cursing themselves, so only four people came.

Priest, we even breathe wrong!

The villagers did not go to the Inari Taisha Shrine, which is far away, but a small shrine in the village that worships the imperial cuisine. Product] I suddenly felt overwhelmed.The God of Imperial Foods does not accept human sacrifices, but in the face of the angry crowd, the head of the shrine does not know how to speak.

Unable to refuse the emotional villagers, the priest gritted his teeth and began to worship Inari.

When the voice of congratulations sounded, Inari Miko left Keizai early in the emperor's decree.She wears a dress and a crown, and cooperates with the gods and maidens to summon the gods to come——

At this moment, there are hundreds of Inari shrines in the country, all of which are full of believers.

The white bird's cry seemed to ring in his ears, and Xianyu, who was on his way home, opened the curtain of the bullock cart to look out.The sun at this time is even more dazzling than at noon, and the golden light melts into the air, even the yin is fading away.

The gods sent foxes to appear in every field, and when the incarnations of Chang Shishen reappeared, they turned into foxes to cover the crops and wiped them out.

At this moment, the big trees with only one branch left on both sides of the road stretched out new shoots, and the crops in the pastoral area broke through the ground again as if they were going backwards in time.Before the congratulatory speeches of the priestesses were over, the villagers smelled the fragrance of flowers. When they looked up, they saw green grass growing and a hundred flowers blooming.

...

There was a burst of cheers from the small Inari Shrine in Arashiyama.

"Look, God Inari has appeared! This is indeed the work of a false god!"

"It's so wicked!"

"It's better to be Inari..."

The evil god wants to sacrifice beautiful women, but Inari God only needs to sacrifice a few ugly men.
