Hanamaru Shrine under construction

When it comes to angels, Xianyu's first impression is the respected old god stick in the village, and the Yaqi Orochi priest who is good at brainwashing, but when she actually saw the angels in Wuhu's mouth, she found that things were not what she thought. .Not only was he not highly respected, but he was violently treated by the villagers. When Xianyu saw him, his handsome face was still covered with bruises of various shades.

This is a remote village near the sea. Because the salinized land is not suitable for farming, the villagers have lived by the water for generations, and barely make ends meet with the meager income from fishing.Even though Japan is an island country, the fishing industry in the Heian period was not developed, and the nobles had to escape from death when they went to sea, let alone civilians.

Based on the information he inquired above, Xianyu drew a picture of poverty in his mind, and deduced with common sense that it must be a poor village, but the facts were quite different from the rumors. Not only was this village not poor, but it was also very rich.The carriage was advancing on the side close to the sea (actually, this road and Iga have no sea in terms of route, but the plot requires the sea). Xianyu who was hiding in the carriage was also covered by the stench. She opened the curtain to see When I went there, I found that there were dead fish, shrimps and crabs everywhere on the coast, and they were just left on the shore without taking care of them.

It doesn't look like it was hit by waves, but it was discarded by someone.Confused, Xianyu shrank back into the car.

Because there were not enough horses, Hirano Fujishiro, who was sitting in the car together, dug out the spices from the package organized by the wet nurse, and Maeda took out the hottori, and the two of them mixed the lotus incense and honey with hundred step incense and lit it. The stench of the air flowing into the car.Xianyu took a deep breath, squinted his eyes comfortably in the sweet aroma like Ciqiu, and said, "Thank you."

"It's good if it can come in handy." Her approval made Maeda Yi change his previous apprehension towards the strange god-inspector, and smiled.Hirano, on the other hand, thought that he could use the time to rest in the village to adjust the shock absorption system of the carriage. The bumps on the road would be more uncomfortable for the owner than riding a horse.

Although they had some adventures, this is a remote village after all, and for a long time they had no contact with the government except for paying taxes.Now suddenly a team of warriors came, and everyone in the village couldn't help being curious, and followed the carriage all the way to the village.Seeing the expensive sabers and precious horses, many people showed greedy eyes.

Xianyu did not live in the house arranged by the village head. She said that as a witch, she should go to the shrine to live in the right.Hearing this, the plump, short, middle-aged man showed a troubled expression, and said, "But my lord, that broken... that shrine has not been repaired for a long time, and there are only angels living there, not even a slave. It is more convenient than my house."

"An envoy?" Xianyu asked doubtfully, who could see the disdain on the village chief's face through the curtain.

"It's just a liar. Knowing that our village's luck is coming, I took the opportunity to run over and pretend to be a ghost. Now that I have been guessed through, I am shameless and continue to cheat at the shrine. Look noble." Before the village chief could speak, his son was already complaining to himself, with a look of hatred, as if the other party had killed his whole family.

"Don't say such things in front of the nobles in the capital." After the son finished speaking, the village chief stopped him slowly, and said with emotion, "We fished that envoy from the sea, and he did have some skills at first. But after that, the divination made mistakes one after another, and he pointed us to go to sea several times, but returned empty-handed. Thinking about it, he was just lucky and got it right a few times at first, but now his luck has run out and he has been knocked back to his original shape." After finishing speaking, he lightly resented With a snort, he rubbed his hands again and said, "Then Miko, I will arrange a room for you and all the warriors."

"No, let's go to the shrine."

After Xianyu finished speaking, Hasebe immediately turned around and walked towards the shrine, completely ignoring the village chief's call behind him.

There is a dilapidated shrine in the village itself, which is a private shrine built by the people and is not under the control of gods and officials.Later, because the village was too poor and the common people could not make ends meet, the shrine was gradually abandoned.After the appearance of the young man regarded as the envoy of the gods, the benefited villagers remembered the abandoned shrine, and they renovated it for the envoys to live in.But now, the envoy's prophecy is no longer accurate, and its status has also plummeted. People began to regret investing money in the shrine. Not only did they no longer hold sacrifices, but they often came here to vent their anger.

After getting off the carriage, Xianyu looked at the stacked torii gates on the mountain road. At this time, a group of people were going down the mountain and spit on the torii gates by the way.

The current appearance of this shrine is obviously not suitable for Ji Jun to live in.Yuan Zhencheng took the first step to lead the team to the bedroom in the backyard to tidy up the room. Seeing this, Hirano and Maeda also followed.Glancing at Yaki Hasebe who was standing by Xianyu's side every step of the way, Qingguang lowered his eyes and said, "Master, let's take a look around, you wait in the hall first."

"Everyone has had a hard time traveling, so let's set up a barrier at night and have a good rest." Xian Yu handed a few spells to him.

"Well, I'll prop up the barrier along the way." Qing Guang stuffed the charm into his clothes.

In a completely unfamiliar place, Xianyu felt uncomfortable without the person she usually relied on, so she pulled Qingguang's clothes and said, "Then come back quickly."

"I will." Although the interrogator was already a big girl, Qingguang couldn't help but patted her head.After all, the master has just left home, and his mentality is still that of a child. If the people around him are also absent-minded at this time, I am afraid that he will be even more disturbed.The little emotions that had just arisen in his heart were replaced by concern, Qingguang adjusted his mentality and said to the newcomer: "Then the master will entrust you."

"I will live up to my entrustment." Hasebu responded.

This shrine was originally refurbished for the shelter of the gods. There are no gods enshrined, and the main hall only has the traditionally placed models of the three artifacts.Xianyu walks through the approach to the worship hall, washes her hands, and prepares to go up to pay homage to Sanguizi, but just as she walks to Benpingling, she hears the girl crying.Xunsheng walked to the corridor, and saw a few young and strong men beating a girl under 10 years old. A long-haired boy in a hunting suit stood in front of her. Kicked to the ground to meet more vicious beatings.

"You're so weak and still play hero to save the beauty?"

"Don't worry, everyone. This guy won't die. No matter how badly he is injured, he will recover."

"What kind of envoy is this? It's a monster that can't be killed. You beat it slowly, and I will take this girl away."

"Don't play too hard. It's a pity to kill that one last time. I haven't reached the age to have children..."

"If you die, buy another one."

Hearing this, Xianyu couldn't bear it any longer, she went straight to the corridor and stood in front of the young man holding the girl's arm.These people are used to being arrogant on weekdays, and when they see a strange witch, they have no intention of restraining themselves, and they will attack when they come forward.Seeing this, the boy who was lying on the ground straightened up and shouted, "Hurry up..."

Pressing and cutting Hasebu expressionlessly smashed the opponent's claws with the back of the knife, and pressed forward with the knife in the sheath, making the tall and strong man lie down and eat dirt.There is no need to draw a knife for a guy of this level, but he has dealt with the garbage here, and he saw that his own god judge had left him and walked forward alone. He was about to rush over to help when he saw the Yu kicked the boy and kicked the man he was beating, and it was the place where thousands of sons and grandchildren were kicked.Seeing this scene, Hasebe's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and the crying girl was so shocked that she forgot to shed tears.

A second ago, Xianyu's image in Hasebe's heart was still a soft girl like Princess Ashi...

Those who participated in the beating of the boy were terrified by this scene. They ignored the girl and fled in a hurry. However, the shrine was already surrounded by the samurai of the Yuan family, and they were tied up again before they left the torii gate. .Xianyu didn't bother to talk to them, and said to the rescued boy and girl, "Are you all okay?"

The girl was obviously very frightened. She sniffed and didn't speak for a long time.On the contrary, the boy who had been pressed and beaten before wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Thank... thank you cough... cough cough..." He tilted his head and covered his mouth, and blood dripped from his fingers again.Seeing this scene, the rescued girl panicked and said, "My lord envoy!"

"I'm fine, I'll be fine soon." The boy calmed down his breath, and smiled at the girl with a bruised face. He turned to Xianyu and said, "I'm a guest of the shrine. I'm sorry now I can't entertain you, can you wait for a while and let me take medicine to treat this child?" He looked at the girl's bruised arm.

"Okay, I'll help you take care of her." Xianyu pulled the girl to her side. She has spells to heal wounds, but it's not suitable for girls without spiritual power.

After receiving Xianyu's promise, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the backyard without appearing to be seriously injured.Following his leaving back, Xianyu was a little puzzled. This child does have the aura of a god, but he is not completely a god. There is nothing wrong with calling him an envoy of a god, but she can't understand how such a person would being treated like this...

Just when Xianyu was in a daze, the little girl she was leading withdrew her hand. She lowered her head and whispered: "I am a slave, and I will stain your clothes..."

Dazed for a moment, Xianyu said: "Are you a filthy man?" Emperor Huanwu had abolished the apparent slavery system, but in fact the slaves still existed, and that was filthy man who was a pariah.Not only are they engaged in dirty occupations, they are used by nobles to test their knives at any time, and even ordinary people can kill them at will.

The little girl shook her head and said, "My parents are farmers, and the family is very poor. Only by selling me can I support my younger brother." It was the same last time... In fact, slaves like us don't care even if they die."

"That's not the case." Xianyu knelt down and said, "You are from a peasant family, so you can have a contract with the common people here, but they are not qualified to descend to citizenship or execute you." Fei Duo is hereditary, a slave, an immigrant, and a sinner future generations, but ordinary villagers are not eligible to replace the government to change their household registration.

The little girl was a little dazed, she couldn't understand Xianyu's words, and she didn't dare to ask, and said, "...you and Mr. Angel are good people."

"Can you tell me about the God Envoy?" Xianyu asked patiently.

"Master God Envoy is a good man, he saved this village." When mentioning the man she admired, the little girl said, regardless of the pain in her wound, "I don't know why, the prophecy would be wrong, but he is really a good man, isn't he? Liar. Because of him, the village will be rich..."

The original appearance of this village was even poorer than Xianyu had imagined.In the Heian era when the fishing industry was backward, every time I went fishing, I was shoulder to shoulder with the god of death.But no crops can be grown here, and the villagers have no courage to immigrate to other places, so they can only guard the sea and live a life of hunger and fullness.

This kind of life was maintained until the appearance of the envoy, he was picked up from the sea by the villagers, a boy with no memory.Although the young man doesn't even know his own name, he has the ability of the Son of God. He can predict the future and guide the villagers to live a prosperous life.

Since then, every time I went to sea, there were no casualties.Every time I go to sea, I can return with a full reward.

The sea became no longer scary. Under the guidance of the angel, the villagers forgot their previous life of hunger and poverty.They used the treasures obtained in the sea to live a superior life, because it was a remote village ignored by the government, and they did not have to pay high taxes.The unrestrained villagers became more indulgent, and they began to raise slaves to serve themselves like nobles.

But now that everyone is getting more and more inflated, there is a problem with the envoy who guided them before. He is no longer perfect, and his prophecy has been wrong.Although the fishing boats that go out to sea will return safely, they will return empty-handed, and people will not be able to catch a few fish when they arrive at the place designated by divination.

The original reverence for the envoys turned into disgust, and people completely forgot that it was the arrival of the envoys that gave them everything they had.Every time there was a problem with the prophecy, they would run to the shrine cursing, snatch the items in the shrine, and even lock up the envoy and starve for several days.

[There is no divine envoy at all, he is a liar, he came here only when he knew our village was going to make a fortune. ]

[You won't die if you hit like this, this is a monster...]

[We have paid for the repair of this shrine. Are you worthy of us if the prediction is wrong? !Eat and drink for free and still have a face to live! ]

The boy who was salvaged by the villagers, his only wish is to let everyone live a life without worrying about food and clothing.But he didn't understand why having wealth would change everyone's appearance.

After hearing what the little girl said, Xianyu squatted on the ground with mixed emotions.This envoy is really difficult, it must have been a math problem in my previous life.Scratching his hair, Xianyu stood up, and before he could do anything, he heard the noise again.The oracle's previous prophecy was wrong again, and the person who had just left was about to go out to sea when he noticed the wind was blowing, and now he brought people angrily to the shrine for accountability.

The envoy holding the wound medicine was surrounded by villagers holding sticks. He eagerly explained, but couldn't understand.

"What kind of envoy, do you want us to die?! The sea has changed, and you want us to go to sea!"

"It must be uneasy and kind! Aren't you an envoy of God, hurry up and let the waves stop, or I will throw you to fill the sea!"

Xianyu stood aside and watched the young man being silenced. From the dispute between the two sides, she noticed that although the prophecy had been wrong, none of the fishermen died because of it, at most they couldn't catch any fish.Even so, the young man who made a mistake in his prediction was full of guilt. He may have resentment, but among the villagers' accusations, he blamed himself the most.

Walking over to stand next to the young man who couldn't argue with anything, Xianyu looked at the villagers with fleshy faces, and said, "My lord envoy's prophecy is correct, today is indeed suitable for going to sea."

The god made the young man look at Xianyu in astonishment, and the villagers on the opposite side also looked at each other in dismay.

Without waiting for them to question, Xianyu continued: "The problem is not the prophecy of the envoy, but the behavior of one of you, which offended the gods." She pointed to one of them, which was when she first came to the shrine, A man spitting at a torii.She said: "Because of your dirty behavior, the gods changed their attention temporarily. You will not be able to catch fish, which is completely retribution."

"How is it possible, I've done this kind of thing a lot, never..." The man pointed at said with a flushed face.

"So that's why the prophecies often make mistakes." Xianyu showed a clear expression, and cursed: "If you don't believe it, just leave here, and you will get retribution immediately."

"You are a group of liars! Just leave, I don't believe in retribution!" The man was anxious under the scrutiny of the other villagers, turned around and went down the steps of the approach. In order to prove his innocence, he left in a hurry. But it seemed that it was because of this that his legs were mixed with garlic, he rushed forward fiercely, and rolled down from the top of the mountain with his head bleeding.

The few villagers who were still standing there were dumbfounded.

Is this really retribution? !

The envoy who noticed the abnormality immediately looked at Xianyu, who smiled at him and said softly:

Silly boy, those of us who spread feudal superstition must first know that God does not stick to the pan.

The author has something to say: In fact, as far as this plot is concerned, Huang's prophecy is not wrong. His long-standing wish is to let the people have enough food and clothing, and this is what he guides.

It can only be seen from the comic lines that these people want pearls the size of a fist, not ordinary gains and safety.
