Jiang Bai said nothing while listening to the old man's cursing words.
He found that there weren't many stories about Orochi. The old man talked about only a few of them. He didn't know whether the history was lost or because his reign was too short, only so many of them were handed down.
This old man's beliefs are also obviously a little abnormal. He is very much like Wan Yan back then. His understanding of the Great God of the Sea is mostly based on self-beautification.
And due to differences in beliefs, he was extremely hostile to the shogunate.
Even an old man is like this. The hatred of the young people who have been influenced by the old people towards the shogunate is self-evident.
The Eye Hunting Order is just a trigger.
Jiang Bai said goodbye to the old man and continued to talk to people in the village. He found that the situation of other people in the village was similar to the old man.
Their belief in the serpent is blind and fanatical, but some people are extreme, and some people can still remain rational, but all residents of Haiji Island, without exception, hate the miners who mine crystallized bone marrow and use crystallized bone marrow to make weapons. people.
They believe that the big snake can be resurrected, and the crystallized bone marrow is the big snake's blood and the big snake's power. The act of mining is to hinder the big snake's resurrection, which is a serious blasphemy, and blasphemy makes hatred more intense.
Jiang Bai is not sure how the big snake died, but he probably died during the Demon God War. The Demon God War was not what the Demon God wanted, but he was restricted by certain rules and had to kill each other. In a fight, there must be a loser. He can't blame the God of Thunder.
From an outsider's perspective, Thor is really a very benevolent god. He not only allowed Kaijijima to control themselves, but also allowed them to retain their faith in the serpent.
And judging from the fact that Orochi died on Bayun Island, it is very likely that Orochi invaded Inazuma, which led to Thunder God killing him. In any case, Thor stood up for it.
In the evening, after talking to many people in the village, Jiang Bai came to the Coral Palace.
He was going to ask if there were any records about the history of Haiji Island.
The villagers did not tell many stories about the great snake, and there were too many embellishment elements. There was also no details about the death of the great snake.
He was really curious about the real history and wanted to see if the Coral Palace had any books recording it.
The Coral Palace is the governing body of the entire Kaiji Island. The building is quite large. In addition to the soldiers guarding it, there are also many witches.
These shrine maidens are both shrine maidens, and they also have the responsibility of handling the affairs of Kaiji Island for the living god shrine maidens, and they have a high status.
Jiang Bai didn't plan to go to Xinhai directly, so she found a witch who seemed to be free to come up and talk.
"Miss Miko, are you free now? I want to ask you something."
"My name is Luzi, just call me Luzi. Strange guest, please ask." Miss Miko's attitude was very friendly.
"Are there any books about the history of Kaiji Island? I'm very interested in the origin of Kaiji Island and the Great God of Kaiji."
"There are books, but there are no historical materials about the Coral Palace. They were all compiled by later generations."
'It was compiled by a latecomer.'
Jiang Bai can already imagine what the books compiled by latecomers will look like. Reality does not exist, most of them are fantasy.
"Why are there no historical materials circulating?" Jiang Bai felt puzzled.
Even Fendelny has murals preserved to record its history, but not on this large sea island.
"The custom of Kaiji Island is that most stories are passed down by word of mouth. If you want to know, I can tell you."
Jiang Bai has given up hope of knowing the true history of Haiji Island. The stories passed down by word of mouth may be far from the truth.
However, he was still limitedly curious about how the witch would tell this period of history, and whether she, like the villagers, turned history into self-imagination.
"We, the people of Kaiji Island, come from the abyss of the ocean and have always lived in a dark and lonely place. Two thousand years ago, the Great God of Kaiji heard our voices and took us out of the abyss to create Kaiji Island."
"Where is the abyss? Is it deep under the sea?" Jiang Bai has heard of this place several times, but he really doesn't understand where it is.
seabed? But how to live under the sea?
The miko Luko walked out of the Coral Palace, stood on the edge of the big shell supporting the Coral Palace, pointed at the bottomless and dark sea below and said:
"That's Haiyuan."
"Then below?" Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows.
He had previously felt that something was not normal down there. All the rivers and seawater on the entire island were converging down here, as if there was a huge mouth of the abyss that could only be entered and could never be filled.
He had planned to go down and have a look, but he hadn't had time to go yet.
"Yes, this is where the Great God of the Sea brought our ancestors out of the abyss. However, the entrance has long been blocked. All we can see now is just a surface of water."
"In other words, if you fall, you will fall into the sea. What will happen?"
"Yes. But it's easier to get down, but harder to get up."
Jiang Bai looked down and saw that it was indeed easier to go down than to come up. There were cliff arms all around. If you want to go up, you can only climb. If you don't have the physical strength, it's really impossible to go up.
"The Omikami established for us a country in the sea where there is no plundering, no bullying, and no one suffers from oppression. However, hunger tortured Haiming, and the fertile land was not in the sea. At that time, Narukami had unified Inazuma, and Brave and good at fighting, the people asked the great Great God to grant them happiness once again.
“The Great Royal God did not agree at first, but the poor people repeatedly requested and finally granted the people’s wishes.
"He trained the poor and weak sea people into powerful warriors, driving the boats and sea beasts. Waves and clouds, accompanied by whale songs, launched an invasion towards the Kingdom of Thunder.
"The people looked forward to the beauty of tomorrow and were brave and good at fighting. However, the Omikami was defeated by General Raiden's sword and was beheaded on Bayun Island. Kaiji Island also became the territory of Inazuma."
In Haiji Island, where there is no written history, most of the history has been lost in the long river of time. Only the story of the big snake has become richer and more vivid as it has been passed down orally from generation to generation.
What Miko Luko said was not long. Although it was still mixed with beautification, it could already provide Jiang Bai with quite a lot of information.
To sum up, it is actually very simple. The big snake brought the people of Haiyuan out of the abyss, established Haiji Island, and soon after invaded and attacked foreign countries at the request of the people, he died.
It is estimated that Orochi actually led Kaijijima for only a few years, never more than ten years.
But it was this short reign that established the faith of the people of Kaiji, which did not change even after it was merged into Inazuma's land.
Of course, it may also be the reason why General Raiden gave them a high degree of autonomy.
After listening to such a piece of history, Jiang Bai felt that General Thunder and Lightning was even more benevolent.
