The origin of the Riben Hachiman God is said to come from Hikohino Demisun, and it is generally regarded as derived from the three gods of the Emperor Oshen, the God of Bizai, and the Empress of Jingong.Guarding the country, eliminating disasters, blessing childbirth, raising children, and possessing various merits.Because it is also the patron saint of the Minamoto clan, it has also been regarded as a god of war since the Kamakura period, and there are more than 3 shrines dedicated to Hachiman God in Japan, large and small.Hachiman Bodhisattva.Since ancient times, it has been widely believed as the god of bow and arrow. Many Genji families with a long history are worshiping the Hachiman Bodhisattva.

The deity enshrined in Hachiman Shrine in Japan.Also known as Hachiman Daimyojin.According to legend, this god was originally the clan god of the local noble family in Usa, Fengqian.The earliest written record about Hachiman God is the record in the 13th "April of the ninth year of Tianping" in the "Continued Ribenji", the record of sending envoys to complain to the Ise Shrine and the Hachiman Second Palace; In March of the leap year, Jiaxu's article contains: Consecrate one copy of "Supreme King Sutra" and "Lotus Sutra" in gold characters of Hachiman Shrine, and build a three-story pagoda with one base.There are already signs of a mixture of gods and Buddhas.In December of the first year of Tianping Shengbao (749), Usa Hachiman was invited to Liyuan Palace, Pingqun County, Yamato Kingdom (Nara County), and was enshrined as a shrine (that is, the guardian of Todaiji Temple). At the same time, he was respected by the court .At the beginning of the Heian period, the mixture with Buddhism gradually deepened, and it was called Hachiman Daibodhisattva.People in the Warring States period were generally superstitious, so they believed in various gods to varying degrees, especially the Hachiman Bodhisattva, who was the most widely worshiped god.

Faith has always been an effective means of strengthening territorial rule.And Luo Shizhengliang is planning to use the Hachiman Bodhisattva to once again establish greater prestige in the hearts of the people.

On a flat land in front of Xiaomu Village, there are nearly 60 villagers gathered at this moment, and they are staring at a small high platform temporarily built of wood in front of them.The majestic Luo Shizhengliang was standing tall on the high platform, and his figure, which was originally taller than the others, looked even more mighty and extraordinary.Among the villagers below, some had eyes full of reverence, while others had eyes of surprise.Those who showed respect were the residents of Komaki Village who had witnessed Masara's heroic performance last night, and those who were full of surprise were the villagers of Onishi Village who had just gathered here.

Luo Shizhengliang slowly scanned the citizens in front of him, women and children accounted for the majority, and basically all of them were sallow and emaciated.This is his own people. Looking at the villagers in front of him, Luo Shi Zhengliang felt a sense of pride and responsibility spontaneously.

"Everyone, bandits have repeatedly invaded our homes, robbed our food, raped our wives and daughters, and slaughtered our family members. What do you think should be done?" Luo Shi Zhengliang shouted loudly.

Silence, dead silence.

"Oh? Are you willing to watch your food being robbed, your wife and daughter being raped, and your family members being slaughtered?" Luo Shi Zhengliang yelled, pointing at a few men in the crowd with a sneer on his face.Several men bowed their heads in shame.

"Or, are you willing to watch your children being slaughtered and become slaves of others?" Luo Shizhengliang changed the subject and pointed at the women in the crowd.Several women seemed to be evoked by the miserable experience, and wept softly.

"Hahaha", Luo Shizhengliang laughed, "Are you scared? Look here", Luo Shizhengliang held up the Taijian in his hand.

"Did you recognize it? That's right, this is the blade of the bandit leader. How much blood from your family has been stuck on this knife?" Luo Shizhengliang continued to shout.

As soon as the words fell, some people in the crowd below immediately stared at the blade, as if they were looking at the bandit leader himself.

"However," Luo Shi Zhengliang saw that the people below finally reacted, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Just last night, the owner of this knife not only threw it away, but also was seriously injured and fled."

"Om!", there was a sound of sao below.Although the villagers of Daxi Village heard that the new lord had defeated the bandit, they didn't know that the lord also defeated the bandit leader, the murderous demon king, and started discussing it.The villagers of Xiaomu Village, who had witnessed the whole battle, looked at their new lord with even more respect.

"Look here again," Luo Shizhengliang drew out the Tairen knife, the sharp blade gleamed in the sun, and the deep cold blade pointed directly at a hill covered with thatch beside the high platform.

Luo Shizhenliang stepped down from the high platform and came to the side of the hill. With a sword, he picked up the thatch on the hill, and suddenly revealed 12 human heads piled up in a pile.To be honest, Luo Shizhengliang is a little nauseous now, after all, it is the first time to look at so many heads so closely.

"Wow!", the crowd erupted.Everyone, including the unknowing villagers of Xiaomu Village, was really shocked.They were all shocked by the visual effect of piling up the heads.

"Did you see it?" Luo Shizhengliang endured the discomfort (although he killed several people in a row last night, it was night and the light was relatively dim, so he didn't feel any problem, but now he is facing so many heads directly, it is inevitable that there will be some pain. Not getting used to it), "This is the bandit you are afraid of. But it is so wooden in front of me".

After finishing speaking, Luo Shi Zhengliang thought to himself, "Cut off", with a sound of brushing, Luo Shi Zhengliang's figure flashed from the edge of the high platform, and the two wooden pillars with a diameter of about 10 centimeters used to support the high platform broke in response, and the high platform It lost its center of gravity at once, and it tilted and collapsed with a "bang".

"I, Roshi Masara, as your lord, according to the will of Hachiman Daibodhisattva, and as his envoy, come here to protect you." The villagers shouted loudly.

The morning sun slanted on his body, at this moment Masara Roche seemed to exude a charming radiance, giving people a sense of sacred majesty.

"Ah! God envoy-sama bless you!", Tsuda Hiromune, who had been explained in detail by Roshi Masara, hurriedly shouted behind the crowd.In fact, when Luo Shi Zhengliang found the bald man, he was worried that he would not cooperate.Unexpectedly, he was quite cooperative and even proposed to make a statue of an angel out of thatched wood.Luo Shizhengliang declined his suggestion dumbfounded, and then ran away as if running away, thinking while running, dammit, this guy wouldn't be a monk before.Well, looking at his bald, oily head, this idea is even more certain.

"Master God bless you! Lord God bless you!...", the crowd fell to their knees.

Looking at the kneeling crowd in front of him, Luo Shizheng Liang was very satisfied with the effect of this publicity.He looked up at Togo Heiji who was not far away, and nodded slightly.

Dongxiang Heiji immediately saluted to express his understanding, then walked towards the crowd, and continued to publicize the achievements of the Lord Lord in the battle last night, and explained the new territorial requirements to the citizens according to the results of the morning assessment.

"Guozhi, are you familiar with the situation in the several villages to the south?" Luo Shizhengliang turned and asked Onishi Guozhi who was following behind him.

"Yes, Your Highness, I was born near here, and I am quite familiar with the situation here, and I have exchanged food with those villages several times," Onishi Kuniji replied.

"Well, take five people, each with a bandit head, holding a long gun as a self-defense weapon, go to these villages, and tell them that we have hit the bandits hard, but the bandits will soon be massacred." Retaliation. Make it clear to them that I will grant them full citizenship and protection by force."

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand," Onishi Guozhi seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he quickly replied.After solemnly performing a retainer salute again, he turned around and carried out the order.

"Guangzong", Luo Shizhenliang looked at Tsuda Guangzong who was still excited about the performance just now and said, "How many swords and spears are there in the territory now?"

"Your Highness, 3 swords and 17 spears," Tsuda Hiromune quickly replied.

"Okay, Guangzong, gather all the young and strong men over the age of 15 to the flat ground in front of the village. Distribute these weapons according to their specialties." After a moment of pondering, Luo Shizhengliang gave an order.

"Hi!" Tsuda Hiromune took the order and left.
