Hanamaru Shrine under construction

Chapter 229

Huang stood in the courtyard, looking at the fish swimming in the pond. A naughty child dipped into the water with a net, and beat the water surface with a small bamboo pole to collect them into the net.Seeing that the red carp that got into the trap was about to be taken away, it leaped vigorously, scaring the child who picked up the net and let go. The net fell into the water again, and the fish regained its freedom.

"...the heaven and the earth and I have the nature of the same nature, each is an ear, how can it give birth to me?" Thinking of the words he got in Xianyu's dream, he repeated in a low voice. , without even realizing that someone was approaching.

"Junior brother." Bao Xian, who originally wanted to pat Huang on the shoulder, turned to pat him on the arm halfway, and he said with emotion: "Children at my age grow up so fast, they are so much taller than me in a blink of an eye."

It's ridiculous, in fact, even if a human child grows a lot, it's impossible for him to disappear for a few days.He didn't particularly suppress his form after awakening his divine power, and wanted to let the group of people get used to his real appearance quickly.

The elder brother seemed to be completely unaware of the abnormality, he pulled Huang's clothes and said: "It's growing fast, the old clothes can't be worn anymore, I still have some material here, I'll make you some new ones and put them on. You Brother Qingming used to grow fast, and his legs would hurt at night. If you are not feeling well, remember to tell me. I remember that time, I gave him a hot compress, and it seemed to be helpful... By the way, what kind of supplement did your senior sister say to take? What, I'll cook bone soup for you later."

Thinking of this, the elder brother completely forgot that he came here to explain some serious business, and his mind was full of thinking about how to find bone stew from a meat-forbidden place like Heianjing.Speaking of which, Mr. Abe Masaki used to get milk for Seimei, but the dairy farmers only pay tribute to the royal family in November every year, so it is hard to find now.

Write a letter to my junior sister to ask...

In terms of food, the senior brother still trusts the junior sister.

Hearing what bone soup to drink, Huang frowned, and said coldly: "I'm fine, I don't need to prepare any soup."

"Don't look at those bones as scary, they are delicious when stewed." Bao Xian didn't take his little brother's rare self-willedness to heart, he warned: "For things like food, don't worry about the origin and shape, as long as it is nutritious. Look at that Yuedu God, who disliked the food-preserving god for spitting out rice to make him sick, and immediately drew his sword and killed him, but in the end, didn’t he accept the corpse of the food-preserving god as an offering?” Killed by Yuedu The God of Preservation has a head that turns into a cow and a horse, millet grows from the skull, silkworm eyebrows, barnyard barnyard eyes, and rice grows on the stomach, of which wheat, soybeans and red beans are all from the yin.When the three precious sons are enshrined in the world, these grains are always on hand.

Monthly Reading·Huang: "..."

In the end, Junior Brother Huang still frowned and drank the bone soup stewed by the senior brother. He really didn't want to hear the legend of his popular science Gao Tianyuan Wang Jing Zeyue reading the gods.

After talking about the bone soup, Bao Xian remembered what he wanted to ask earlier, and said, "By the way, what did you just say could save my life?"

"Yu Ji mentioned it." Huang explained.

"Call me senior sister." After Baoxian corrected it, he nodded and said, "This is probably another word in the literature of the Song Dynasty. She likes to read the books there. It's also strange. Usually asking her to recite Japanese songs is like killing her. But I like to read those Chinese characters that boys have a headache."

"Then senior brother, do you think that's right?" Huang asked.

"If you ask me this, I can't give you an answer. For Chinese people, they grew up listening to the myths of the creation of the world by the three gods of good fortune, and the myths of Izanagi and Izanami giving birth to the land. There are many legends about it. The so-called right and wrong are all subjective. But Ye Wang said that the great spirit controlled by the Shaman King manages all the souls in this world, and the hells of various countries only have temporary Stewardship. So I think, outside of this box, there should be a lot of ignorance that we can't easily determine."

Even the high-ranking Sanguizi doesn't understand the mysteries of the great spirit. There are so many unknowns in this world, so can the destiny of one's own country really dominate all Taos?

Huang's heart was inevitably confused when he connected his confused fate when he was an envoy of the gods with the divination that he made several mistakes in succession.He felt that this human [Senior Sister] was really against him, breaking his long-standing cognition every time.

Unlike Huang, it was just a dream, Xianyu didn't take it to heart at all, she left the strange dream behind and left the bed.At this time, the little general had already got up early for morning exercises, and the dishes and chopsticks he had eaten last night were washed and put back in the kitchen.

Xianyu stretched his waist and smoothed his hair with water, while Ciqiu imitated her movement and stretched out his claws to dip in the water to scratch his fur.

After mentioning the matter of recruiting witches yesterday, Xianyu changed into the clothes of the shrine master and walked out of the shrine. The steps in the early morning were already full of people, and Yuan Zhencheng was busy maintaining order.At present, there are only 20 residents who have signed an agreement with the shrine in Yamanaka, but there are more than a dozen young girls who have applied for the job, many of whom are unfamiliar faces that Xianyu has never seen before.

When the villagers saw Xianyu arrived, they explained: "Some are the children of relatives living in other places, and they are willing to sign the contract." Not to mention the salary, even if they don't have them, they are willing to send their daughters here, which will save the family money. Big expense.

Xianyu nodded. Mikos who do chores do not have high family background requirements. Only regular priests must be immediate family members of shrine farmers.Most of these girls in front of them looked yellow and thin, severely deprived of nutrition, and their small hands were as thin as chicken feet, but they were full of traces of life.Just when Xianyu was about to open his mouth to make a choice, there was a voice of arguing suddenly from behind, and a man with a strange face was dragging the skinny girl down the steps by her hair.Seeing this, Xianyu narrowed his eyes, and Yuan Zhencheng immediately stepped forward to hold him down.

The girl who had been treated roughly just now had blood on her scalp, she hurriedly hid aside, shrugging her shoulders and trembling.And the man who was pinned to the ground said: "My lord, please forgive me! I will report... This girl fled to the shrine with filth, defiled the divine realm!"

After hearing his words, Xianyu noticed that the daughter's exposed inner calf had blood stains, and there were stains on her trousers, obviously during menstruation.Mentioning this, Xianyu's face darkened. Once girls in this era have menstruation, they are regarded as filthy. They are kicked out of their homes and live in huts that cannot even be lit. Not only commoners, but also nobles. Same.Once a woman in the family has menstruation, her husband cannot go out, let alone go to shrines and other places.

Seeing Xian Yu's silence, the rat-headed man proudly said: "She is my sister, I am killing my relatives righteously!"

"Zhencheng, throw me this thing that destroys the cleanliness of the shrine." Xianyu said coldly.

Yuan Zhencheng nodded, pulled the man's hair and dragged him down the path. After throwing him out of the torii gate, he simply removed his arms and said, "Masturbation in the shrine is a felony. You should be exiled to the shrine." Die, I will only take your arms, I am showing mercy."

The man rolled in the torii in pain, but he didn't dare to refute the samurai's words.

Although Yimulian was kind, he would never interfere with human laws, and the man didn't lose his life, so Xianyu didn't worry that he would have a bad relationship with the gods.Letting the domestic violence man pay the due price made Xianyu a little happy. She looked at the girl, saw her face was full of tears, and said, "If you just want to escape from that person, you can temporarily live in the courtyard behind the divine office." But if you really want to become a witch, you can choose to stay."

"I, can I?" the girl whispered.

"Master Miko, this is not good, it's too detrimental to the shrine..." The surrounding farmers also began to mutter.

"Whether it will pollute the shrine is not determined by humans, but by gods. Even Lord Fengshen has no opinion on my decision, and you have no right to question me. All blood basin scriptures are made by humans. Do you believe in gods or newcomers?" " Xianyu said, controlling his temper.It's not the girl's blood that's dirty, it's your ignorance.

When Xianyu was in the capital, he wanted to change this stupid way of thinking countless times, but instead he was treated like an ignorant child. They didn't even get evidence and investigate, and they convicted women.When those girls died due to freezing, sickness or dystocia during special periods, these people took the blood basin scriptures and said that it was a punishment for women to defile the earth god with menstrual blood and childbirth, and they would go to the blood basin hell to suffer after death.

It's really funny. I usually measure the value of women by having children, but it is also said that women who have too many children should go to hell if they taint blood and defile the gods.

If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't understand, Xianyu wanted to say who the hell would believe that women are filthy, so she would have convicted them for cruelly killing countless tadpoles. She took a deep breath and said: " The girls stay, and everyone else goes back." This kind of thing can't change people who have been brainwashed for a long time, but it is more effective to prove it in practice.

The farmers left suspiciously. Facing the rest of the girls, Xianyu's expression softened, and he said, "Come with me. You can choose the vacant room to the north of the shrine." It was built according to the specifications of a large shrine, and the huts hidden on both sides of the main house of the shrine can be used by handymen to live in. This is the setting of a noble manor.As for the shrine, it is still reserved for regular priests.

After watching the girls choose their own rooms, Xianyu took them to familiarize themselves with the shrine, and divided the tasks: "The county secretary will send someone to deliver the clothes later, you remember to boil water to clean your body first. I will teach you how to make them later." Guardian talismans, and paper pendant jade strings that need to be replaced from time to time." She looked at the girl in a special period, and said, "You should have a good rest first, and work after you recover."

In addition to the main hall of the shrine, only Xianyu, who is the chief priest, can set foot here. Other hand water houses, conferring places, worship halls, other palaces and treasure houses that are currently unused, as well as basic equipment such as access roads and god gates need to be cleaned by special personnel. In addition, the flowers and plants in the shrine also need to be tidied up.Xianyu was not yet familiar with the personalities of these girls, so he assigned work for the time being, and when the clothes deliverer arrived, he asked them to go back to fetch water to clean their bodies.

After everyone dispersed, Xianyu, who stayed alone in front of the other palace, breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to return to the realm of the gods, when she found that the door of the other palace was open.Because the current shrine only worships Yimulian, the main god, the other palace is idle and usually closed. She walked up the steps suspiciously and opened the door that was already ajar.At the same time, the Five Tigers Tui, Maeda and Heino in the room were also taken aback.

"Master, master!" The little daggers obviously didn't expect Xianyu to come back, and they were surprised that even the poplar tree in their hands fell to the ground.

"You are doing..." Xianyu's doubtful voice stopped abruptly when he saw the god they enshrined, because on it was his own name.She suddenly lost her words, turned her head to look at the daggers, and said, "What's going on?"

"I'm sorry, Master." Hirano bowed deeply.

"This is my decision." Maeda said with his head down.

"No, it's not...it's me..." Wu Hutui whispered, he who was originally the most introverted, stood up at this moment, his eyes were red, and the fundus of his eyes was filled with water, when he met Xianyu's gaze , said: "I'm sorry! I think... I want the master to become a god, as long as there are enough offerings, he can be a god..."

I clearly know that the master doesn't want to live for a long time, but...but I still want you to live and be with everyone all the time.

"I'm sorry...I'm...so selfish..."

"..."

Xianyu was speechless.

She was not the only one left with fear.
