The gods are weak,

Who can save the people?

――――――――

The wooden and stone palace is not huge, but it is very different from the humble low-rise dwellings that surround it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The wood is painted in bright vermilion, the walls are painted with frescoes made of distorted colors, the bright red porcelain tiles are laid diagonally on the roof like fish scales, and the four corners are stone carvings of birds, which seem to be fleeing from the palace, but in the end they can only struggle weakly.

Under the bright sun, the whole palace exudes a bright luster, which looks luxurious and solemn.

This is the king's palace and the center of power for the whole country.

The palace gate is tall and wide, flanked by two rare monsters, with the head of a cheetah and the body of a lion, trampling on the hooves of a deer and flicking the tail of a wolf. The stone sculptures are lifelike, one monster is rushing towards the sky, while the other is staring at the earth, their expressions are hideous and strange, and people feel inexplicably frightened at the sight of them, as if they will step down from the stone seat at any moment and tear people into flesh.

They are not some mythical beasts, but two fierce and powerful monsters, who were defeated by the king, so they were imprisoned in the stone and placed in front of the door to deter all small and small things and suppress the luck of a country.

Looking through the gate, there is a crimson carpet of silk, surrounded by dazzling flames and decorated with gold and silver ornaments. In the recesses on either side of the flanks flowed pure mercury, on which floated wooden statues of various colors - symbolizing the eight million gods in the world.

In the center of the main hall there is an ornate chair, covered with a yellow robe embroidered with four flying birds, and the brown armrests are inlaid with emerald gems, which is a veritable throne, and it is the owner of this palace, the king of this country, who sits on it, Himiko!

Himiko is a young and beautiful woman with smooth black hair like a waterfall, a delicate melon seed face, bright eyes, a small mouth, and a beautiful figure. Such a beautiful girl really does not match the image of the king from ancient times to the present, but she is still wearing a noble red robe, a white jade carved bun, and her face is full of arrogance and solemnity.

She is undoubtedly a king, not just because of her bloodline, but also because she holds the power of Shinto

Himiko seemed to sit lazily, but her straight spine and jade hands that played with precious stones at random showed her courtiers the majesty of the king at all times.

"What is the form of the North?" She seemed to say nothing, but the cold voice was as cold as ice, making the three samurai below feel oppressed.

"Your Majesty, which Ezo people in the north are peaceful all year round, and there is no resistance at all, the White Bird Army has gone all the way in, and it is very smooth, so that it will not take a year for us to dominate the world!" One of the slightly younger warriors stepped forward and replied, his voice radiating with fervor.

"Good!" Himiko sneered, "But don't forget those cunning and despicable youkai! Now is the easiest time to give birth to youkai! ”

"Your Majesty, we have never forgotten the evil of monsters, and we will never despise their cunning and cruelty!" An old warrior stepped forward and said passionately, "We will never forget that tragic time not long ago, if it weren't for the king's unification of the southern kingdoms and the elimination of all ghosts, we might still be struggling in blood and fire!" The king's grace, we can only repay with our lives! ”

"The king's grace, we can only repay it with our lives!!" The other two also spoke with the old man and said excitedly.

"Okay." Himiko shouted unknowingly, and then said passionately, "War is peace, and only the raised iron hooves can step out of the flat land, go!" Conquer it! Conquer it! For the sake of great dreams, for the unity of all, for the ultimate peace, everything begins and will end with conquest. Go ahead! Go ahead! Go fight for me! We are coming to the end of this era and start a new empire! ”

A sonorous voice echoed through the room, and the eyes of the three men seemed to be ablaze, their faces flushed with excitement, and the frenzy of their souls was stirring up the blood known as Ambition.

"For the king! For the Empire! To end it all! To conquer everything! The men hammered their chests hard and swore aloud, "We will win!" Kill all the youkai! Put a new empire in your hands!! ”

"Good!" Himiko's delicate face was also smeared with a feverish blush, and she shouted vigorously, "I order!" You are going to put an end to the devastated Yayoi period and imprint the world with the name of Yamadai! That's right, our empire, he will be called Yamatai! Let all the yokai die! The earth belongs only to us humans and gods!! ”

"Obey the King's Commandment!!" The three of them answered in a deep voice.

"Go ahead!" After listening to the response of the three people, Himiko gave the order to evict the guests.

"Yes!" The three courtiers left the palace as ordered, and they were to go to the front line in the north to participate in the war of killing, replenishing their boiling blood with blood.

Himiko looked at the departing backs of the three men, and seemed to see the three trembling sinners in the future, and she suddenly smiled, and the smile was unusual, it seemed to be joyful, and it seemed to be painful.

"Wild Hope...... Himiko whispered to herself, her eyes catching a glimpse of the two monster stone statues in front of the door, they were the ones who had killed her father, but now they were dead, and she was still alive!

Her gaze was suddenly occupied by some kind of determined will, which was as indestructible as a jade, and her eyes shone brightly.

She spoke louder to herself.

"Is it cruel? No! Only killing can bring peace!! Only Iron Will Can Destroy Evil!! Happiness can only be achieved through sacrifice!! Even if my hands are stained with blood, even if I carry countless guilt on my back, so what? Am I afraid? Will I be unbearable? No!!! I will crumple this shattered territory with my own hands! ”

Himiko got up suddenly, and she walked outside the house, looking at the people of Li who were not far away, living and working in peace and contentment, working hard, and being comfortable in the sun. This can be said to be her merit.

"The world is ...... in harmony"

Himiko muttered a little distractedly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a childlike smile!

Although it comes from later generations, those physicists who have their own opinions do not agree on their own opinions, let alone Zhibei, who does not pay much attention to physics. In the end, no matter how much nonsense Zhibei said, the wine in Midoriza was firmly in the halfway position, and it didn't rise at all.

Zhibei couldn't help but think of the very reasonable Gewu Zhizhi in his previous life, many scientists have used this method to get funding year after year, write one paper after another, and win one award after another, thinking that this method must be very effective.

So Zhibei looked at the house, the trees, and the cuteness in a daze, but nothing happened, and finally Ji Hong almost thought he was crazy, and nervously grabbed his hand and asked him not to be in a daze for a day.

"Brother...... If we don't work, we won't have anything to eat!! "Zhibei was said so...... That's right, after Master Mu Qing's ascension, Zhibei really adopted Ji Hong, and he became her titular brother. Since he was temporarily unable to travel, it was only natural that he would have to work for this new home......

The simplicity of the villagers is beyond imagination, so things are going well. By the way, the Green Seat is also like most immortal weapons, it can be collected into the body, Zhibei can feel it somewhere in his chest, and since he can no longer find a way to fill the Green Seat, he simply ignores it, and Zhibei concentrates on the work of supporting his family.

As for the work of finding hungry wolves, Zhibei handed it over to Ji Hong, anyway, the little girl has to go to the forest to play, and it doesn't matter if she looks for it by the way, not to mention that there is Meng to follow, and there is no need to worry about danger.

This uneventful but joyful life lasted for five days, until that afternoon, Xihua, who accompanied the caravan to a nearby village, found Zhibei.

She brought news of the hungry wolves!

(This book is a mixture of some historical fandoms, but some historical events are brought forward, and others are postponed, so don't pay too much attention to the party if you have a reference.) In the setting, Yakumo Murasaki was born at the end of the Yayoi period in Japan, when the Yamadai Kingdom was established, and when it comes to Yamadai, you can't fail to mention Himiko (she is a shrine maiden), so I set her as the founding queen! ）
