Hanamaru Shrine under construction

The female god accompanied by the spirit fox descended to the mortal world, but the people who worshiped her lavishly before did not respond. Only the Inari priestess put away the imperial artifact and went forward to salute.After seeing her movements, the priests who assisted the gods suddenly realized and followed her in worship.

"Master Yujiajin."

The goddess turned her head, her silver-haired red eyes were unusually bright in the sunlight, she curled her mouth, without the arrogance of a god at all, she nodded and said, "Thank you, Wenzi." The fox at the foot tilted its head and rubbed against the god's feet , get a tender touch.

The Inari Priestess shook her head, she did not relax her vigilance because of the recovery of the vegetation, and asked, "Master Yuyatsu, Chang Shi Shen it..."

"I'll find it." Mikotsu didn't say much, but just made a promise to his miko.The foxes at the feet seemed to be responding to the rare anger of their masters. They swung their tails, and the fox fire splashed into the air, linking with the foxes placed all over the country to monitor all the dynamics of their protected lands.

The gods said this, which means that Gao Tianyuan did not catch the culprit Chang Shishen. It uses insects as its imperial body and can roam anywhere. place.

The God of Imperial Food Jin did not stay in Kyoto, and left after receiving the breath of the God of Eternal World that the foxes were chasing.After she left, Inari Miko, who had been calm and composed before, turned cold and ordered, "Send a message to the gods everywhere, destroy all the shrines that secretly worship the eternal gods, and send the gods to the gods for disposal." .”

"Is it necessary to do this, Master Wenzi? Master Yu Yanjin has already promised to deal with Chang Shishen..." The priest who spoke was a rare person with spiritual power.

"We have hands, feet and spiritual power, so why do we only think about relying on the gods?" Wenzi wiped the Cangdao bow that had been covered in dust during the sacrifice, and said in a calm but creepy tone, "Even if it can't be like the Imperial Food Jin To let the crops grow back like this, but to weaken the power of the eternal god and anger it to show up is something that human beings can do. Master Yujinjin is the God of Tianjin who does not need faith to maintain her life. She does not owe humans anything. She is merciful, and she takes what the gods give as her due."

She has always believed that gods like Master Yujinjin have been waiting for human beings to grow up.She is like a guardian before a baby learns to walk. Young humans can seek her help, but they have to work hard on their own instead of relying on gods for everything.

The priests and witches present looked at each other blankly, obviously they couldn't understand Wenzi's thoughts.Praying to gods and worshiping Buddha to solve problems has been a long-standing habit of human beings.

At this moment, Wenzi, who had been surrounded before, seemed to be excluded by everyone. She didn't care if others said she was strange, but just lowered her head and wiped the magic bow.At this time, a witch holding a jade string came to her side and said, "Master Wenzi, I have notified the Procuratorate for Violations to deal with the shrines that violated the regulations. His Royal Highness King Zhai and the God Official also support your decision."

"Your Highness and Uncle God actually agreed?! This kind of thing that will offend the God of the World..." There was an uproar at the scene.

The priestess who spoke before tilted her head and replied, "We don't need to wrong Lord Inari for the sake of Changse. Although we are both gods, human beings should clearly distinguish who is the god who has been protecting us. Besides, offending Changse Didn’t Prince Shotoku do such things as gods a long time ago, and the grievances between human beings and eternal gods have long been unresolved.”

Such an explanation is obviously more acceptable to everyone.

After everyone dispersed, Wen Zi said, "Qiandai, did the god uncle really say that?" It's normal for His Royal Highness Saiwang, as a maiden of Amaterasu, to not pay attention to Chang Shishen.

"He must think so." Chiyo raised her eyebrows and said solemnly.

Wenzi smiled knowingly.

……

In the swamp of the underworld, the Yamata no Orochi, which had turned back to its original shape with multiple heads and tails, was rolling and stirring in the mud. He was in a bad mood at the moment and didn't want to talk to anyone, even if Chang Shishen entered the underworld in a state of embarrassment. It didn't take away one of his mind's attention.Chang Shishen, as a god recognized by Gao Tianyuan, obviously ignored the intention of the evil god Yamata no Orochi. He entered the depths of the underworld with burns all over his body, where there was the god he was loyal to.

"My lord... my lord... help me! That woman Yu Yanjin's Fox Hunting Realm destroyed all my Yu Shen Physiques!"

The god whom Chang Shi called an adult was hiding in the shadows, unable to see his face clearly. He squatted beside Izanami's dead body, stroking her dull hair with his powerless hands, and was drawn by Chang Shi. After God called for a long time, he said, "I lent you strength to stop the Xia Ji Festival. But you only want to take revenge on human beings, and you have completely forgotten my order. Now, you still dare to come to me?" He The original order was for Chang Shishen to take action on the day of the Dagu Festival. When the insect gods with yin and evil powers are all over the world and human beings riot, he can take the opportunity to prevent Amaterasu from coming.But now, Gao Tianyuan let the imperial food come in advance, and his subsequent plans are useless.

"I, I thought it didn't matter..." Chang Shishen murmured while covering his tattered face.

The man looked up at him, and saw that Chang Shishen was half dead by Yu Xianjin, so he didn't bother to kill him.He twisted his arms and waved them in a weird way, and saw Chang Shishen, who was kneeling on the ground, suspended in the air, his whole body was thrown into the air, and flew towards the gap in the underworld.The Yamata no Orochi in the swamp raised its head, rolled up a piece of mud with its tail and threw it out, hitting Chang Shishen directly in the face, and closing the gap that opened after he left the underworld.

Yu Yanjin, who was tracking all over the world, caught the breath of Chang Shishen almost at the same time, but Chang Shishen was not stupid. After being expelled from the underworld, he flew to the sky immediately. In any case, he is also a god recognized by Gao Tianyuan. Danger is also the safest place.

In the clean room of the human world, a maiden opened her eyes. She is the priestess of Kibi Jingu, that is, the priestess of Isasha Bieming who also has the godhood of grain, and at this time, under the order of King Sai, She said, "Eternal God has appeared, above Jiyi Country."

"Master Yu Yanjin is in the underworld, you hold him first." Wen Zi hurriedly said.

"Mizu Takahikone God, please come down." It was the priestess who spoke, the god of thunder and agriculture. As soon as she finished her words, a thunderbolt descended on the sky of Kii country, directly smashing the god of the world into the world.

Chang Shishen was stunned, he knew that he was being targeted by other gods in Gaotianyuan, he cursed, but he didn't dare to fly to Gaotianyuan.At this moment of desperation, he just wanted to go home, to the country of eternal life, and never to return to the human world.

"...The previous sacrifices have not been successful, but this time it is the order of the palace, so...so Saruta Bigu, please come down!" The trembling young witch called out with all her strength, and the one she served It is the god of the sun and the road, and is also the god of rice crops Saruta Biko.But this time, her wish was answered, as if a hand was placed on the young witch's head, warming her chilly body.And Chang Shishen, who was far away in the country of Kii, lost his way under the curse of the God of the Road.

"Why, why can't I find the way to the Kingdom of Eternal World?! Where is the east... no, this is the west..." Chang Shishen was already dumbfounded.

With the help of the gods, Yu Yijin left the underworld and successfully caught up with Chang Shishen who was scurrying around like a headless fly.At the moment when he saw Inari God, the Chang Shi God, who had been so glorious before, finally collapsed and shouted, "Why don't you let me go, we are also gods, aren't we?! Humans betrayed me first, and they forbid me The world preaches, and every year there is a sacrifice to kill insects! This kind of offense, there is nothing wrong with me retaliating against them!"

"When you cheat your faith with the temptation of longevity, you are destined to receive such a result." At the same time that God Inari appeared, God Chang Shi had already been locked by the fox hunting world.

"It's because they are greedy that they will be deceived, but a group of human beings want to live forever!" Chang Shishen's contempt was obvious.

"You know very well that humans are not just like that."

Yu Yanjin remained unmoved, and pointed the bow and arrow in her hand at the crazy insect god, and her actions made Chang Shishen completely lose his mind. The divine power in his body soared, and the faith and fear gained by the insects surged from all directions. Come on, Chang Shishen laughed and said, "It is worthwhile to be buried with God Inari when you die! Come on, my believers, and contribute your spiritual power to me!" As he spoke, he turned into the form of a black butterfly, sprinkled on his flapping wings. With black scales, his aura was unprecedentedly high, but it stopped abruptly in the blink of an eye.

"?!"

Yu Yanjin, who was about to suffer from Chang Shishen's suicide, was stunned.

Chang Shishen, who didn't have enough strength to blew himself up, broke down and shouted, "How could that be?! What about my beliefs, the folks still have my believers—" He had no chance to find out the truth after all. When he tried to blew himself up, he didn't When he gained enough divine power to support him, Yu Yanjin's magic-breaking arrow had already hit his heart.The gigantic black butterfly, tens of meters in length, cracked and began to transform into star-like shattered light at the center of the shot, and finally annihilated with the body of Chang Shishen.

God Inari put away his bow and arrow, stretched out his hand to hold a little broken light, and listened to those remaining vows.

[Master Chang Shishen, this is all our food, please save my father! ]

[Master Chang Shishen, please take my life and let my wife and children survive the disease. ]

[Master Chang Shishen, please...]

……

I am an eternal god, and those who often sacrifice to me, the poor will become rich, and the elderly will still be few.

...

[fraud. ]

The last bit of brilliance in Inari's hand disappeared.

After returning to the Major General's Mansion, Xianyu raised her head and looked up at the sky, the butterflies that had been wandering outside the barrier had disappeared now, she waved her hand to remove the barrier, and explained to the warriors, "The power of Changshi God has disappeared. .” Either being sealed or dead.

Foxnosuke was a little emotional, and said, "It's a bit pitiful, Chang Shishen, because he is a bug, it is difficult to be accepted, so he can only choose to deceive to gain faith."

"It's not easy to be enshrined if you are a worm god? That's not necessarily true." Xianyu stroking the dog with one hand and the tiger with the other, said, "This kind of thing depends on the operation. Look at Inari God, who is in charge of the harvest of food. If she just came to the world At the time, I said to the villagers [I am the god who can destroy your crops], do you think she can still have her current status? Look at the insect god again, why does it position itself as a pest, as long as it says to humans to enshrine itself If it is free from pests, there will be no shortage of offerings. It clearly has divine power that is more convenient than many gods, but it insists on cheating. This is completely killing itself, and it is not pitiful at all."

"That's right." Honosuke figured it out, nodded and said, "It's wrong to lie to people."

Xianyu smiled, and reached out to hug the fox.

Speaking of which, Chang Shishen is also a god, so he won't disappear so easily...

...

Indeed, it is very difficult for God to disappear completely.

Like humans, gods also have souls. For example, the dead Izanami became the master of the underworld.Everlasting God is originally a god of eternal life. He will not die completely. He can return to the Kingdom of Everlasting in the state of soul, and be reborn on the orange flower of the immortal medicine again. He can also collect human beliefs or fears and reshape him into a god or a demon.However, with the pride of the God of Eternal World, it is absolutely impossible for him to become a monster willingly. He intends to raise his soul, which was severely injured by the imperial food, in the underworld, and then find a chance to go to the Kingdom of Eternal World.

Chang Shishen felt that he was lucky. After his soul entered the underworld, he didn't encounter ghosts, but went to a garden with only plants.He salivated at the goldfish-shaped spiritual plants fluttering in the wind all over the yard, and he could clearly feel the plump and attractive spiritual energy on them.Naturally, Chang Shishen would not let go of such a delicacy. He turned into a butterfly larva, climbed onto the largest spiritual plant, and opened his mouth to eat it.

In just over half an hour, Chang Shishen ate half of the goldfish-shaped spiritual plant. Satisfied, he burped and fell asleep on the ground.When he was awakened by a burst of unprecedented coldness and hostility, what he saw when he opened his eyes was a grimace that was a thousand times more terrifying than Yu Xianjin.

The assistant officer of King Yan Mo looked down at him coldly with a mace in his hand.

After this day, Chang Shishen became history.

The author has something to say about the nine heads of Yamata no Orochi in the modeling of Onmyoji

The Yamata no Orochi in the Japanese book and the Kojiki has eight heads and eight tails, and the ring can form a Yamata→→Because I really don’t know whether it should be a legend or a game, so it is simply blurred
