Chapter 265 The Secret Mission of the War to Exorcise Demons
It is a pity that except for a few elite disciples with Han ancestry, Onmyoji requires blood and essence to cast spells, but they cannot learn advanced qi training techniques, so most of them died from exhaustion of strength in the battle. If there is no suitable method to make up for the consumption, the longer you practice Yin-Yang, the weaker your body will be. This is why Yin-Yang is only a "skill" and not a "Tao".
After the tragic war, demons and humans divided their spheres of influence: areas suitable for human survival such as plains, farmland, and towns were owned by humans; areas with dangerous environments such as deep mountains, swamps, lakes, volcanoes, and dense forests were inhabited by demons. However, due to the complex environment of Japan, the regions suitable for the survival of monsters and the survival of humans are so intertwined that it is impossible to connect them all. Therefore, the negotiation meeting on the division of power held at the Takamagahara ruins after the war had a fierce debate between the representatives of both sides, and no one was willing to give in.
Just when the negotiations between the two parties reached a stalemate, Yun Canghai and Jian Zhen suddenly appeared together. With their overwhelming strength and prestige, they set the tone for the negotiations with an almost absolute impartiality and impartiality: demons and humans belong to the same Haizhou and should share the same fate. This land does not need to be forcibly divided. Demons can live close to humans as long as they do not harm humans; similarly, as long as humans are not afraid of or harm demons, they can also go deep into the demon's residence to engage in daily activities.
As long as the actions of both parties do not involve racial secrets or their own safety, they must not be obstructed. Violators, whether human or demon, will be severely punished!
Frightened by the strength and status of Yun Canghai and Jian Zhen, and the fact that this proposal was indeed fair and reasonable, all participants recognized or acquiesced in this proposal. Under the general framework of this tone, humans and demon forces quickly reached agreements and regulations. After three months of negotiations, humans and demon forces finally ended the bloody negotiations that would determine the future pattern of Haizhou. The "Takamagahara Contract" was made for the oath. It details the rules on how humans and monsters should get along in the future, as well as the various punishments for violating the "Takamagahara Contract".
After the "Takamagahara Contract" was made, this large-scale war involving tens of millions of humans and demons finally came to an end. Due to the importance and particularity of this war, it was known as the "Demon Exorcism War" in history.
In view of the extremely serious losses suffered by both sides in the "War to Exorcise Demons", in order to learn lessons, humans and demons each sent racial elites to form the "Haizhou Council", a huge cross-racial organization. They used relatively gentle and obscure methods instead of fierce wars. solve the arguement. Among them, Yin Yang Sect and Vinaya Sect occupy an important position.
After the "War to Exorcise Demons", perhaps they suffered too much pain, perhaps they were baptized by their thoughts, or perhaps due to other reasons. Both humans and demons have indeed restrained themselves a lot and are recuperating in silence. Peace has finally been restored in Haizhou.
It is important to mention that after the death of Yamata no Orochi, the demonic energy of Haizhou began to gradually dissipate. In addition to some inherently evil demons, many demons infected by the demonic energy also gradually returned to their former temperament and rationality and were no longer keen on attacking humans.
The huge war almost destroyed the wealth that Haizhou had accumulated for hundreds of years since the Heian Era, and the people suddenly fell into poverty. However, driven by the industrious people of China and supported by the Onmyoji and Vinaya monks of the Onmyoji Sect, as well as all walks of life in Haizhou, vigorous reconstruction work began again. During this period, the monster clan suffered heavy losses in the war, and many gentler races also participated in it and formed considerable friendships with humans. For example, the kind and timid kappa often rescues people who fall into the water; the cold and lonely snow girl protects climbers; the beautiful, charming, affectionate and intelligent fox girl; the lively, innocent and lively versatile civet cat, and other monsters are all notable examples.
These monsters play a big role in easing the relationship between humans and monsters. They change the image of monsters in the eyes of humans and become the link between humans and monsters. In the following hundred years, the relationship between humans and demons became more harmonious, and many demons and ghosts were even willing to live in human towns and receive worship from humans. There are also many demon groups who have signed contracts with Onmyoji and volunteer to fight for them.
Facts have proved the wisdom of Yun Canghai and Jian Zhen at that time. If they had not forcibly stopped this war at that time, although humans and demons would have reduced a lot of losses, they would still have had various conflicts in the near future because each other had not learned a profound lesson. Instead of falling into war due to friction and friction, relations would be eased after the war as they are now.
Only those who have felt the hurt of war will know the value of peace. Both demons and humans feel the same way about this. Yun Canghai and Jian Zhen decisively took action after the truce between the two parties and laid the foundation for the contract. It can be said that they made the best solution just right. Neither humans nor demons can deny that this is indeed a fair contract. (In the view of Yunlong, who has a deep understanding of the conflict between humans and nature in later generations, humans and demons are both part of nature. Rather than fighting each other, it is better to live in harmony. Besides, Yun Canghai is a demon race and will not be biased towards humans. Jianzhen is because his realm is too high. To the point where "all living beings are equal in my eyes", I naturally agree with Yunlong's point of view.)
Fortunately, the Haizhou people, who are fused with the Chinese ancestry of the Chinese people in China, also inherited the tolerance and generosity of the Han people and the extreme and diligent character of the original Japanese. They did not get entangled in the hatred between each other, and once they changed their ideological concepts, they became obsessed with the existence of monsters. He is very adaptable and has spawned many new professions and practitioners. This surprised Yun Canghai who was observing in the dark and sighed that his understanding of human nature was still not deep enough.
With the joint efforts of both parties and without the interruption of war, Haizhou regained its prosperity and became stronger in just fifty years. Of course, the "Haizhou Congress" also contributed a lot in this process and even played an increasing role in the later period and completely controlled Haizhou politically, economically, and militarily.
Since there was no change in the world, the land of Haizhou was still vast, so the population and the number of demons increased very quickly, especially after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, they were the first to establish contact with it. This month, under the instructions from the top officials of Yin Yang Jiao, Fujii Naoto, the third son of the current Emperor Nimu, who is also an elite disciple of Yin Yang Sect, accompanied the Yin Yang Sect missionaries across the sea and came to Songming to host a caravan to participate in the annual return visit to Haizhou. Mingsi's activities were actually secretly connecting with the hidden line in the Song Dynasty and receiving the next action plan.
The caravan walked for a long time and finally saw the tall Yangzhou City from a distance. It was almost dusk, and against the afterglow of the setting sun, the tall city wall looked down at the pedestrians like a giant.
