As time went on, the number of homeless people who came to the village seemed to increase inexplicably, and I heard from them that many people were moving this way, and a large amount of land was constantly expanding outward, and I heard that this was the meaning of Prince Shotoku.

The crown prince had traveled to a powerful neighboring country, and was approached by the neighboring country, and he had gained a lot of useful knowledge, and he was working on a new direction in Japan.

So, in Japan now, a lot of migration and so on are happening all the time, and even here it has been affected, because the constant number of friends coming to this side, even if you want to ignore it, some people will continue to go north, and some people will simply settle around here, and in just four months, the people here have been full.

Moreover, there were a lot of troubles that followed, the village was repeatedly expanded, and it was already a small city in itself, and on the other side, on the hill next to it, there were bandits and the like.

And on that youkai mountain, the tengu are still entrenched there, humans dare not approach, but the name of the oni clan is much louder, they have built a city on the southern coast, there, right next to the human village, the oni will occupy a certain place, and then snatch some human children or daimyo children to lure humans to attack.

A large group of people, often attacking a ghost, occasionally there is no way to get the child back, of course, in the end, it is useless for the ghost clan to keep it, so let it go.

Ghosts don't have any real need for human flesh, so their actions are even more annoying and elusive.

For example, for a certain city lord, the death of a few people is not a thing at all, but there are constantly ghosts to harass, that is trouble, those daimyo feel a headache when they hear this, that is, they begin to have a way to exterminate ghosts, but unfortunately, at present, there is still no help, a ghost can fight against thousands of ordinary people, not to mention that there is a ghost king among them, and the number of ghosts has reached a huge number of thousands, so many ghosts, ordinary people have no way at all.

What's more, there are also some strong people who go to crusade against ghosts, and they themselves will be infected by ghosts and become new ghosts.

The biggest representative of these ghosts is the power of ghosts, and now, naturally, it is infinitely expanding.

By now, oni has become one of the most troublesome yokai in the hinterland of Japan, and the tengu is still on the edge after all, so it is not a big trouble.

These things, Bai Lian actually didn't hear about it, but the new travelers said it, of course, Bai Lian will also inquire about the news of Ming Lian, but unfortunately I haven't heard of anything.

After all, Ming Lian is just a small person, and Bai Lian doesn't expect everyone to know his name, and she continues to practice in the temple now.

Of course, there is also the practice of Buddhism, and Buddhism in Japan belongs to the kind of cultivation with hair, and the requirements here are not high, and the white lotus usually does his own thing in the temple, that is, he will go to the Hakurei Shrine to see.

The present Hakurei Shrine ...... The feeling for the white lotus is completely different from the past.

It should be said that there is a gloomy sense of dead silence now, which makes people very panicked.

It shouldn't be a place like this......

In the past, Bai Lian was very envious of the relationship between Hakuri Shrine, but now she doesn't know what to do at all.

She came to Hakurei Shrine, and at this time, it was four months after that incident, and after that, the eyes of the realm that made people were frightened had disappeared.

The three people who remained in the shrine became two people, and the body of Renko was sealed in the main hall of Hakurei Shrine, an empty place without a statue of the god.

That place really shouldn't be in a shrine to be honest.,But this shrine has a zài of real gods.,And the next thing is.,Someone wants to come to the shrine.,Apply for a shrine.。

The shrine maiden is a necessary thing for the shrine.,This is also what the white lotus mentioned.,What they believe in is the Bisha Heavenly Gate.,That's naturally not to be able to take Boli as a belief.,Of course,Just believe in Borei's existence.,That's still no problem at all.,There are actually a lot of local gods in Japan now.,Those gods have their own abilities.,Manage the water and soil of one side.,Those who were kidnapped by ghosts.,Many of them are snatched back by local gods.。

However, the gods are not omnipotent, and the gods here, Boli, bear a very huge faith, because the village below has grown from 3,000 people to nearly 10,000 people.

With a scale of nearly 10,000 people, there are several groups, and now this is the key issue.

After all, with the further expansion of the number of guards, it has also reached 500 people.

With these five hundred people, it is also possible to guard some bandits or bandits and the like in the neighboring places, and those people are not many in number, ranging from dozens to hundreds, and the key problem is trouble.

When Hakuren arrived at Hakurei Shrine, Merry was still there.

In front of the Hakurei Shrine, the flower garden carefully tended by the two young girls is ...... at this moment. It has been pulled out, and some weeds have grown in the soil.

But it's okay, whether it's Tengu or the people of Yamashita, as long as they know about what is going on here, they will come to help, although there are many contradictions between humans, but for Hakurei, basically everyone is still respectful, not to mention, the thing that this god symbolizes, that is money and power.

Could it be that there is nothing more worth pursuing than these two?

The simple villagers' daily luxury is to eat, drink, and dress warmly, of course, even such a low demand, which can only be achieved now is only one percent.

"Melly......"

In the shrine, the person was still sitting at the door, but she looked weak and didn't seem to want to do anything.

She was alone in that position, her expression a little glazed......

When I saw Bai Lian, I didn't react much, just looked at her, and then ...... Forced to smile.

It's already good, as far as Bai Lian is concerned, this is already good, because at the beginning, Merry only had a dead expression, her face was white and scary, and now she is slowly recovering a little red, but she has forever lost the happy expression of the past anytime and anywhere...... She was laughing, but she was already cold.

At the beginning, there were many people in the village who liked her and wanted to get close to her, but now they are all a little afraid of her and afraid of her.

Of course, they don't know that Melly has gained new powers, and the reason why they are afraid is just because, now Melly, is completely unkind.

"White Lotus...... Hello. ”

She responded.

The voice is also a little weak, on a hot day, the temperature is more than 30 degrees, Mei Li only wears a thin shirt, and Bai Lian herself certainly doesn't wear much, it is still short-sleeved.

"I've brought something here." What Bai Lian is holding in his hand is fish and a little wild boar, these things are actually given to the temple by others, of course, to be honest, the rules for eating meat in the temple are not so strict, but these things were originally a choice of last resort when it was extremely difficult, and now, together with the right track, naturally they will be restricted.

Of course, some of the monks have ceased to be monks, and they have returned to the countryside, where there are no examples of monks forbidding marriage and marrying, and they are not very forbidden to eat meat, but drinking alcohol is also a ban.

She also brought these things to Melly, of course, the main reason was because she didn't worry about Melly and Bori.

The relationship between these two people is awkward and strange now, and here today, she didn't see Hiroshi either.

"Where's Hirori-sama?" Bai Lian asked casually.

When Melly heard this, she smiled bitterly, and then said, "Me and Bo Li...... Quarreled ......"

"Quarreled!"

This news is really shocking, this is probably the first time in history that I have heard of such a thing as Melly and Boli arguing.

In the past, both Merry and Boli were very good-tempered people, why did this kind of quarrel occur at this time?

Bai Lian didn't understand.

And the helplessness and bitterness on Melly's face also made her even more uneasy: "Why...... ......"

Perhaps, she shouldn't ask, but she really couldn't hold back her curiosity, obviously two good people like this, they shouldn't accept this kind of treatment.

"Because ......"
