Chapter 46: Counting Harvests and Discussing National Policies
These eight orbs are the natal beads of Yamata no Orochi, which are equivalent to the inner elixir of the demon clan. They contain most of the demon clan's cultivation. However, Yamata no Orochi is rather different, with eight heads and eight attributes, so it is practiced Eight Yuanzhu came out.
Ever since Yamata no Orochi swallowed the three artifacts, he has been troubled by the resistance of the three artifacts themselves. Give up, reluctant to part with the huge power of the three artifacts; keep it, the power of faith and spiritual imprints in these three artifacts form the spirit of the artifact. And very difficult to deal with. After some hard thinking, it finally came up with a method, which was to use the other person's way to give back to the other person.
So it began to spread its evil spirit to all of Japan, causing Japanese creatures to mutate and evolve. Coupled with Japan's natural flaws (souls cannot enter reincarnation, and most souls were beasts in their previous life), there were a lot of animals. Plants and even people have mutated and become monsters.
Since they all became monsters due to the demonic energy emitted by Yamata no Orochi, they are innately controlled by Yamata no Orochi, which also facilitates Yamata no Orochi to implement its plan. In the middle of the Han Dynasty in China, it controlled these demons to wreak havoc in Japan, which had developed a certain population and culture, and accepted offerings and sacrifices from the Japanese. In this way, it gained a lot of power of belief, and it also used its natal The Yuanzhu absorbed the power of these beliefs and formed a restriction in the body, consuming the power of the three artifact spirits. Because it emitted a large amount of demonic energy, the recovery speed of Yamata no Orochi was slowed down a lot.
Some people may not understand why it takes so much trouble. Couldn't it be just using mana to refine it? In fact, this view is too simple.
The power of faith is generated in the soul of every living being and belongs to the power of the soul. When a living being has emotions such as love, hate, respect, fear, etc. towards something, it can be a person, an animal, or even a stone, a sword, the sun, the moon...anything, the soul There will be a force that will act on this thing through the connection in the dark.
This power is the power of faith.
The power of faith is a kind of soul power, so it can act on the spirit, the soul, and even the soul. The great supernatural powers in ancient times discovered the role of the power of faith. Through long-term research, they created many methods that use faith. Power techniques: Taoism and demonic religions gather the power of faith to refine clones; Buddhism gathers the power of faith to condense golden bodies and relics; some alien people, such as Western religions, live in places where the aura of heaven and earth is scarce. , but also carried forward the way of faith, gathered the power of faith to condense the divine personality, created the Kingdom of God, claimed to be a god, and looked down on all living beings.
The nature of this power is very strange, similar to obsession, and it is very immune to other powers. It can only be eliminated by using the power of the same soul attribute, or by being extravagant and spending merit. Otherwise, you can only wait for it. Disappears automatically over time.
Yamata no Orochi has done many evil deeds, and has absolutely no merit, but has a lot of sinful karma, so the method of using merit to consume the power of faith is not feasible, but it is possible to use the power of faith to offset the power of faith, so Yamata no Orochi He did not hesitate to waste demon energy and delay his recovery speed, spawning thousands of demons to collect the power of faith for himself.
After Yun Canghai erased the soul imprint of Yamata no Orochi's soul, the soul remained dumb and stupid, like a puppet. Except for the soul belonging to Yamata no Orochi, which had disappeared, all other powers and memories were not missing at all. These Information is retrieved from its memory.
As for other memories, he did not absorb them, because it is best to keep his own memories and souls pure. If he absorbed other souls and memories, impurities and pollution would be produced, which would lead to an unstable mind at the least and an unstable mind at worst. It can lead to schizophrenia, obsession, and Taoist heart collapse.
"Every time comes, heaven and earth all work together to transport heroes without freedom, Yamata no Orochi, Yamata no Orochi, you have been doing evil for many years, you have not cultivated merit, your luck has dissipated, you are about to die, but you don't know it, you are greedy for things outside your body, and finally you die. The soul is destroyed. This is the hand of God’s false self to kill you. It’s a pity that since then, there has been no more alien species in the world.” Yun Canghai sighed.
"Master, you..." An Pei Qingming saw Yun Canghai sighing and couldn't help but ask, but was interrupted by Yun Canghai with a wave of his hand, "It's nothing, I just felt a little emotional after seeing the fate of Yamata no Orochi. Remember this. , in the future you must practice more merit and less karmic sins, otherwise, no matter how great your cultivation is, you will not be able to escape disaster! Yamata no Orochi is the best example!" He explained first, and then his voice became more serious, and he said Others besides Jianzhen taught him a lesson. Everyone said yes again and again, indicating that they were taught.
Yun Canghai then introduced some of the treasures left by Yamata no Orochi: These eight natal beads have different attributes, which are equivalent to eight inner elixirs, and contain most of the cultivation of Yamata no Orochi.
And that skin pouch is the stomach pouch of Yamata no Orochi. Yamata no Orochi is the descendant of the ancient monster Xiu She and Jiu Ying, and naturally inherited the abilities of both parties. It is also considered to be gifted, and it uses both talents quite well: it was born with eight songs, allowing it to master eight at the same time. With different attributes, he cultivated eight natal beads with different attributes; the swallowing power inherited from the self-cultivating snake was also improved by him and his own abilities, forming a unique skill "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" that can be performed by combining eight beads into one.
Xiu snakes, also called Ba snakes, are naturally good at swallowing. A young Ba snake the size of a chopstick can swallow an elephant. This is because they have a natural space in their bodies that can swallow the prey and slowly digest it. There is the allusion of "Ba Snake Swallows Elephant".
As a descendant of snake cultivators, Yamata no Orochi certainly has this kind of natural space in his body, and this magical power not only serves as a unique attack skill, but also has a second function, as a space magic weapon to load items. This kind of space will become larger and wider as the strength increases, and because it exists in one's own body, it is extremely safe and no one can steal it.
The internal space of Yamata no Orochi is attached to this stomach pouch, which contains various refining materials, secrets of exercises, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, magic pills and elixirs that Yamata no Orochi has collected and stored over the years... ·Wait on, the quantity is extremely huge, almost as much as the entire inventory of a major sect.
At this time, Yun Canghai and the others can be said to be developed, and they will not be short of supplies for hundreds or thousands of years in the future. However, Yun Canghai did not tell others about the amount of harvest inside, because these harvests were too huge and could easily arouse the jealousy of others. If the news spread and were known by opponents with bad intentions, they would probably arouse covetousness.
After cleaning up these things, Yun Canghai used the stomach pouch in his hand to take away the body of Yamata no Orochi. He also had another wonderful use for the soul and body left by Yamata no Orochi. Then everyone cleaned up the battlefield, captured, expelled, and killed the remaining demons, and used magic to restore the landscape of Mount Fuji to avoid geological instability, which would cause continuous volcanic eruptions in the future, and cause sin. Then meditate and adjust your breath to recover the mana consumed and the damage suffered in this battle.
After everything was done, everyone set off back to Heian-kyo, the capital of Japan at the time.
The news brought back by Yun Canghai and his party shocked the Japanese government and the public. The man behind the demonic rebellion that has plagued Japan for many years is actually the legendary Yamato no Orochi! Fortunately, the Lord God and the Holy Master Jianzhen have been eliminated, and the troubles of demons will gradually be eliminated in the future!
This kind of news was naturally announced to the world. Everyone in Japan celebrated this good news and even spent money to build many temples to worship Yun Canghai and Jianzhen. As a result, Yuncanghai and Jianzhen also gained a lot of faith. This is an unexpected surprise.
"Fortunately, this demon has been eliminated by the gods and saint masters, and our country will be much more peaceful in the future." The emperor respectfully thanked Yun Canghai and Jianzhen. The emperor of this generation was called Lingwu, and he was a mixture of Chinese and Japanese. Originally, he was boycotted by the royal family and ministers because of his impure bloodline, and was unable to ascend the throne. However, due to the strong support of Yun Canghai and Jianzhen, he finally became the new generation of Japanese emperor against all opinions, so Emperor Lingmu respected and appreciated Yun Canghai and Jianzhen very much.
"Subduing demons and ensuring peace is what we as cultivators should do. It is also our responsibility as the previous leader of the Yin Yang Sect and the protector of the country. It is our duty to do our best. Your Majesty, you only need to try your best to do your part. If you do things within your country, you will naturally be respected and loved by your subjects, and the country will prosper." Yun Canghai and Jianzhen were modest.
Then Yun Canghai added: "Also, Japan's territory is small, the land is barren, and the people are uncivilized. If you want to develop, you need to move closer to China, which is the birthplace of mainland culture and wealth. Only by integrating into it can you Only then can we ensure the strength of the country, so the national policy must be adhered to.”
"You mean, the national policy of "racial integration" formulated ten years ago?" Emperor Reimu looked embarrassed. "The ministers and the people at the bottom are naturally very willing, and they are even honored to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. But now the Tang Dynasty Looking down on our small and remote country, I have petitioned for surrender many times, but have never received a definite reply. The Tang Dynasty only asked us to pay tribute on time and ensure courtesy to the central dynasty, but it did not agree to allow us to surrender."
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. This is a saying passed down from ancient times in China. Although Han and Japanese live together and marry in Japan today, and there are even millions of mixed-race children, after all, there are still some pure If the ethnic Japanese surrendered and started a rebellion in the future, where would the country's face be? So before the racial integration is completely completed, the Tang Dynasty will naturally feel uneasy." Yun Canghai said.
"So that's the case, then I must persist. Even if it takes fifty or one hundred years, I must complete this goal. Otherwise, we will always be foreigners and will not enter the central government." Emperor Reimu He has been ostracized since he was a child because of his mixed-race status. Naturally, he does not reject the differences between Han and Japanese. Instead, he is extremely interested in racial integration. He also yearns for the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the heavenly dynasty, and the coming of all nations as his mother said. So he was extremely insistent on Yun Canghai's proposal.
"Since Your Majesty is determined to do so, we, the Onmyoji Sect and the Ritsu Sect, will naturally give our full support to help Your Majesty accomplish his great cause!" Yun Canghai and Jianzhen were both powerful promoters of this policy. Now that they saw Emperor Reimu making up his mind, they immediately express absolute support.
Walking out of the palace gate, Yun Canghai squinted at the sun in the sky, a smile gradually widened at the corner of his mouth, and finally turned into a wild laugh, "Japan, Japan? Hahahaha, soon, there will no longer be such a disgusting name as Japan. ! Hahahahaha!" The people next to him looked at him in awe and curiosity, secretly thinking that the Lord God must have had some happy event today, otherwise how could he be so happy.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that Japan's fate was decided in the palace just a moment ago, and history took a different path from then on.
