Chapter 365 There Are Many People Who Are Willing
All things are animistic, all things have gods for their sustenance, and everything has gods to worship.
For example, this forest and the nearby villages and towns all believe that there is a god who comes from the blessing of the forest, and they have also established such a shrine.
Shisui took Kakashi to the core shrine. In the legend of faith, the power of faith here was gathered to create the god of 'Forest View'.
It looked like a child, with a clear sense of tranquility all over him.
Kakashi could tell that he seemed to be the incarnation of the forest, with a natural energy that seemed to come from the forest.
Kakashi also realized what was going on.
In the process of creating this god, it seemed that people's faith was also giving birth to a certain spirit in the forest. He also summoned this gestating spirit to join in the creation.
Therefore, this god is indeed the incarnation of this forest.
And after it was created.
Mori Zhijian turned his head and looked into the depths of the forest, looking a little worried.
"What's wrong?" Shisui asked.
Mori Zhijian replied: "In that direction, deep down, there is a closed village, and bad things are happening."
Shisui frowned.
"There?"
"What's there?" Kakashi asked Shisui.
"I sent an investigation team here before. It seems that there was someone responsible for registration, and something happened there."
"Is there anyone who hasn't registered yet?"
Zhisui replied: "There are still some remote and closed places. There must be closed villages deep in this forest. But now, the registration personnel sent there have not completed the registration and may have been killed."
"Unclean."
Mori Zhijian spoke.
"Unclean?" Zhisui frowned.
Impurity according to the gods.
"monster?!"
Soon, Shisui's expression changed.
He suddenly looked in that direction...
"Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop."
A man is running through the forest with a girl in his arms.
They were an investigation team that came to investigate the disappearance of the registered personnel sent out. Unexpectedly, when they passed by, they discovered that these villagers were making foolish sacrifices. Without hesitation, they rescued the girl.
But, monster.
Yes, monster.
Some of the other team members fled, and some were taken away by monsters.
But now, the monster is chasing him behind, because he took away the sacrifice, and the monster feels that he must not let him go.
He happens to be the captain of this investigation team and has the strength of a chuunin.
But the monster is too strange and difficult to deal with.
Finally, he put the girl down.
"You hide here."
he said to the girl.
The girl nodded, hugged her head, and huddled in the corner.
After taking a deep look at the girl, he turned away.
"You stupid # %&*(&%R$)..."
A lot of ugly words.
Obviously, monsters are not rational things. Although they don't quite understand what these curse words mean, they are not good words anyway.
Especially since this monster has enjoyed being worshiped and worshiped like a god, how could he be willing to accept such an insult?
O blasphemer!
Naturally, the monster thought he was a god and immediately rushed over...
After a while, just when the girl thought she was saved.
"hehe."
Weird laughter came from her head, and she trembled all over, and then raised her head with violent and uncontrollable trembling.
In front of him was a ferocious and terrifying green face.
“O son of man, as a sacrifice to me, enjoy my gifts to you.”
The ferocious claws stretched out towards the girl.
"This gift is."
Grab the girl.
"eat you!"
Ouch!
The ferocious bloody mouth grew.
There was a dizzying fishy smell coming from inside.
It makes people feel trance-like.
Um?
The girl who had closed her eyes could not feel the pain for a long time.
'never mind. ’
A very soft voice sounded from my heart.
The girl opened her eyes. The monster had disappeared. What appeared in front of her was a child not much older than him?
"you are?"
"I am Mori Zhijian."
The girl was stunned.
Then his eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Mori Zhi Jian Shen-sama?!"
This is the god who is enshrined in this generation. The girl's village is in the forest, so of course she knows the name of this god.
"Lord God!"
The girl hugged him and started crying.
And in a hidden place covered by the branches and leaves of a tree not far away, Kakashi held a small green bead in his hand. The monster that the ignorant villagers regarded as a god just now was sealed in this bead.
It has not been eliminated. Of course, Kakashi has no intention of using him as a shikigami. Shikigami has no meaning to Kakashi.
However, this monster seems to be worshiped as a god.
Kakashi realized that this matter itself was also of great research value.
If gods existed in the past... some gods were obviously transformed from monsters.
Then, in other places in this world, there will inevitably be situations where monsters accept offerings as gods.
How to solve this situation?
Those evil monsters, after becoming gods, will also do some evil things, and they will definitely be punished.
But are there any monsters that are not evil?
In other words, there is no monster with the will to harm people? What should we do if these monsters accept worship and become gods?
Later, after returning to Konoha Village, Kakashi asked the Hokage this question.
The answer of the Fifth Hokage Orochimaru was of course: "If there really is a so-called kind monster who is enshrined and became a god, then he must sign a contract with us and record his name on the 'divine book' before he can be qualified. as a legitimate deity.”
"But they don't want to?" Kakashi didn't think that these monsters, even kind monsters, were willing to accept this kind of restraint.
"Not willing?" Orochimaru said matter-of-factly: "Then drive him away and hand over the duties of god to those who are willing."
Having said this, Orochimaru looked at the 'divine book' scroll in Kakashi's hand.
"After all, there are many people who are willing to be this god. Kakashi, don't you think so?"
Silently looking at the sacred book in his hand, Kakashi nodded.
"yes."
After all, some so-called gods are actually historical figures who created great achievements in the past. After their death, they were worshiped and believed in, built shrines, and enshrined as gods.
When going to enlighten such gods, Kakashi discovered that these dead people could be recalled in the 'Pure Land'.
That is to say.
The dead can be replaced by gods.
With a little manipulation, the land gods in various places can be occupied by people who have done good things during their lifetime and have outstanding reputations in various places.
I don’t have the mental energy to write seven more chapters... I felt sick to my liver after writing four chapters.
I must have squeezed myself too hard some time ago.
Why.
