It was raining in Yae Village, and the news spread like a wind, and all outsiders who learned about it were envious, jealous and hateful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's cool to have a god covering. Everyone thought of it in unison. You must know that this drought has covered a wide area and lasted for a long time, and Yae Village is not the only village affected. Other places are still in dire straits, Yae Village is good, there are gods raining, and people are really more popular than people.

Now, the villagers of Yae Village talk about their gods the most, and they brag about them when they meet people.

"I tell you, there is a god in our village. ”

"It's true, everyone has seen it with their own eyes, at the shrine. ”

"Hundreds of youkai were scared away by the gods' words. ”

"You know the heavy rain a few days ago? It was brought by the gods of our village themselves. ”

"The gods are fooling Yae Village. ”（PS）

The villagers enjoyed the look of surprise and envy on the faces of outsiders when they heard these words. They ignored Bai Qi's indifferent attitude towards them, and made up the scene of "God and man living together in harmony and building a beautiful home together".

It is undeniable that the rain has brought Hakuki to the hearts of the people, and now, every villager in Yae Village has a sincere look of respect on their faces when they think of and mention Hakuki.

Bai Qi didn't care about this, until he found out that his demonic power was growing strangely automatically. This is unusual, his control of demonic power is superb, and every change is clear. Obviously, this growing demonic power is not under his control.

This problem has bothered him for a long time, in order to find out the truth of the matter, he stared at every trace of demonic power in his body, and when the abnormal growth appeared, he seized the opportunity to trace the root of the problem in reverse, and finally found that these demonic powers actually came from the villagers. To be exact, it comes from the awe of the villagers. When the villagers fear him, his demonic power increases.

"Is it the law of this world?"

There is a law that is prevalent in the world of high martial arts: gods and demons can increase their power through the faith of their people, and this world seems to have a similar law. In order to test his speculation, Shiraki summoned some yokai and asked about it, and then learned that the yokai in this world held a power called "fear". Youkai can increase the power of "fear" by "making humans fearful".

Bai Qi found some monsters and humans to observe, and then found that the so-called "fear" is actually demonic power. There is indeed a law in this world that elevates demonic power by making humans feel awe. However, the yokai seem to have a wrong understanding of this law, and interpret awe as fear.

This is a matter of course, how can humans respect youkai, there is no way to talk about the respect of awe, so you monsters only need to make humans fearful, there is no need for humans to respect. Bai Qi guessed that the monsters did not know the true meaning of this law, but deliberately distorted awe into fear.

For Bai Qi, this is good news, he can use this law to improve his demonic power, although this improvement is very small, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.

Of course, because the promotion is not large, Bai Qi will not deliberately do anything for the human race, so that the human race will fear him. The most important thing for him at the moment is to refine the power of time and space in his body. If you take advantage of the law, just go with the flow.

On this day, Yae Sakura was sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard of the shrine, and suddenly there was a commotion outside the shrine. A familiar voice shouted "Mikome-sama", and she looked up to see the village chief, the bear child's father, waving to her outside the torii.

The village chief brought some strangers, who were dressed very expensively and looked not ordinary people. Of course, the so-called preciousness is only relative, in fact, it is just like that, only a little better than ordinary people. The standard of living in the country is still very low.

Yae Sakura put down the broom and walked over.

"Village chief, who are these people?" she said with a puzzled look on her face.

"This is a daimyo lord from Shinano, and I heard that we have a god in Yae Village, so I came to worship and make a wish. The village chief pointed to the fat man in the crowd and said.

"Daimyo!" Yae Sakura was surprised. It was the first time she had seen such a big person. Then it occurred to her that all these changes had come from the god behind her.

The fat daimyo looked at Yae Sakura with a frown.

"You're the shrine maiden of Yae Shrine, and you're a child, can such a shrine maiden really do a good job of serving the gods?" said the obese daimyo in a distrustful tone.

Hearing this, Yaezakura, who was still in awe of the daimyo, suddenly became unhappy. The little girl couldn't control her emotions well, and said stiffly, "I'm really sorry, only my sister and I have the talent of witches in Yae Village." ”

Unexpectedly, the daimyo nodded: "I'll just say how can a little girl like you become a shrine maiden, so that's what happened." No, serving the gods is a very important thing, and I can't leave it to a little girl like you. You are ready to prepare, and after a while, I will send a few experienced and capable shrine maidens over. ”

Yae Sakura looked dazed: "What are you going to prepare?"

"I'm going to go home. "Daimyo said. "The work of serving the gods should be left to the official shrine maidens, and children like you should go home and play at home. ”

Yae Sakura was stunned for a moment: this daimyo who didn't even know her name when they met for the first time wanted to kick her out of the shrine!

Because he was the daimyo of Shinano, nominally the entire Shinano area was under his control. Actually, of course, that's not for sure.

Of course, Yae Sakura didn't agree, and when she left the shrine, she had nowhere to go.

"I'm sorry, I refuse, I grew up at the shrine, and the shrine is my home. Even if you want me to go home, I'll have to stay at the shrine. Yae Sakura said unhappily.

There is no doubt that Yae Sakura's disobedience to orders made the daimyo very dissatisfied. But this daimyo is not a fool and does not get angry. You know, this is in front of the shrine. Legend has it that Yae Shrine is home to a god, and if you make trouble here, it would be bad if you provoke the gods to get angry. He still has a plea for this god.

The fat daimyo looked at the village chief and said angrily: "You - arrange a house for her, let her move out, don't stay in the shrine and not leave." ”

Yae Sakura's nose was crooked: this daimyo was determined to drive her away.

That's right, the fat daimyo is really determined to drive her away. He wants to use the gods of Yae Shrine for his own benefit, and in order to achieve this purpose, he plans to replace the shrine maidens of Yae Shrine with his own, so it is inevitable to get rid of Yae Sakura.
