The origin of the Japanese god Hachiman is said to have originated from Hikohuo Izumi, and it is generally believed to be derived from the three gods of Emperor Ojin, Hibigami and Empress Shengong. Guarding the country, removing calamities, blessing childbirth, child rearing, and possessing various merits. Because it is also the guardian deity of the Genji clan, it has been used as a martial god since the Kamakura period, and it is a shrine dedicated to Hachimangajin, and there are more than 400 shrines in Japan, large and small. Hachiman Bodhisattva. It has been widely believed as the god of bows and arrows since ancient times, and many of the Genji families, which have a long history of this lineage, worship Hachiman Daikoto.

A deity enshrined in Hachimangu Shrine in Japan. Also known as Hachiman Daimyōjin. According to legend, this god was originally the clan god of the local wealthy clan of Usa in Bunzen. The earliest written record of Hachimanjin is the article of the Continuation of the Japanese Chronicle, Volume 12, 'April Otsumi of the 9th Year of the Tenpyo Balance', in which an envoy was sent to Ise Jingu and Hachiman Ninomiya to complain; In the same volume, the 14th volume of the "Thirteenth Year of the Balance Leap March Jiaxu" contains: "The Sutra of the Most Victorious King" and "The Lotus Sutra" in the golden characters of Hachiman Shrine, and a three-storied pagoda and a foundation. There are already signs of the blending of gods and Buddhas. In December of the first year of Tenpei Katsuho (749), the god Usa Hachiman was invited to Ishihara-gu Shrine, Heigumi County, Yamato Province (Nara Prefecture), and was enshrined as a shrine (i.e., Todaiji Town, Shoute, Mukaiyama Hachimangu Palace, and was also revered by the imperial court. At the beginning of the Heian period, he became more mixed with Buddhism and became known as the Hachiman Bodhisattva. The people of the Warring States period were generally superstitious, so they all believed in various gods to varying degrees, especially the Hachiman Bodhisattva, which was the most widely worshipped deity.

And faith has always been an effective means of strengthening territorial rule. And Luo Shi Masarashi intends to use the Hachiman Great Bodhisattva to establish greater prestige in the hearts of the people again.

On a flat ground in front of Komaki Town, nearly 60 people have gathered at the moment, and they are staring intently at a small high platform made of makeshift wood in front of them. The dignified Luo Zhengliang was standing tall on the high platform, and his figure, which was originally taller than others, looked even more powerful. Some of the townsfolk below had reverence in their eyes, while others were suspicious. The townspeople of Komaki Town, who witnessed Masayo's heroic performance last night, were full of surprise, and the townspeople of Onishi Town, who had just gathered, were full of suspicion.

Luo Zhengliang slowly glanced at the people in front of him, women and children accounted for the majority, and basically all of them were yellow and thin. This is his own people, looking at the townspeople in front of him, the pride and sense of responsibility in Roche Masara's heart arise spontaneously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say the bandits have repeatedly invaded our homes, robbed us of our food, bullied our wives and daughters, and slaughtered our families?" , Luo Zhengliang shouted at the top of his throat.

Silence, deathly silence.

"Oh!? Are you willing to watch your food being robbed, your wives and daughters being bullied, and your families being slaughtered? Luo Zhengliang pointed to several men in the crowd with a sneering face. Several men bowed their heads in shame.

"Or are you willing to watch your children being slaughtered and becoming slaves of others?" , Luo Zhengliang's words turned sharply and pointed to the women in the crowd. Several of the women wept under their breath, as if reminded of the tragic experience.

"Ha Lu haha", Luo Zheng Liang laughed, "Are you scared?" Look here", Luo Zhengliang raised a sword in his hand.

"Do you recognize it? Yes, this is the blade of the bandit leader, how much blood of your family has been glued to this knife? Luo Zhengliang continued to shout.

As soon as the words fell, some people in the crowd below immediately stared at the blade, as if they were looking at the bandit leader himself.

"But", Luo Shi Zhengliang saw that the people below finally reacted, and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Just last night, the owner of this knife not only abandoned it, but was also seriously injured and fled. ”…,

"Buzz!" , and there was a commotion below. Although the townspeople of Onishi Town heard that the new lord had defeated the bandits, they didn't know that the lord of the road had also defeated the leader of the bandits, and they immediately started talking. The townspeople of Komaki Town, who had witnessed the entire battle, looked at their new lord with even more respect.

"Look at this place again", Luo Zhengliang pulled out the Tai Blade Knife, the sharp blade glittering in the sunlight, and the cold blade pointed directly at a small hill covered with thatch next to the high platform.

Luo Zhengliang stepped down from the high platform in two steps and came to the side of the small hill, and the Taidao picked up the thatch on the small hill, revealing 12 human heads piled up in a pile at once. To be honest, the current Luo Zhengliang wants to vomit, after all, it is the first time to look at so many heads so closely.

"Wow!" , the crowd boiled. Everyone, including the unwitting residents of Komaki Town, was really shocked. They were blown away by the visual effect of piling up human heads.

"See?" , Luo Shi Zhengliang endured the discomfort (although he killed several people in a row last night, but it was night, and the light was relatively dim, so he didn't feel that there was any problem, but now he was directly facing so many heads, and it was inevitable that he would be uncomfortable), "This is the bandit you are afraid of." But in front of me it was so wooden".

After speaking, Luo's political conscience secretly thought in his heart, "cut off", and with a brush, Luo's Zhengliang's figure flashed from the edge of the high platform, and the two wooden pillars with a diameter of about 10 centimeters used to support the high platform were broken in response, and the high platform lost its center of gravity at once, and it collapsed with a "boom".

"I, Masara Rashi, as your lord, have come here as his messenger in accordance with the will of the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman, and I will protect you," Masara Rashi shouted at the townspeople in front of him, standing next to the collapsed high platform, holding his Taiblade sword aloft.

The morning sun shone obliquely on his body, and at this moment, Luo Zhengliang seemed to exude a charming brilliance, giving people a sense of divine majesty.

"Ahh God bless you! Tsuda Guangzong, who had already been explained in detail by Luo Zhengliang, hurriedly shouted behind the crowd. In fact, when Luo Zhengliang found this bald man, he was worried that he would not cooperate. Unexpectedly, he was quite cooperative, even suggesting that he would immediately make an oracle out of thatch and wood. Luo Shi Zhengliang politely rejected his suggestion with a smile, and then ran away as if he was running away, thinking as he ran, yes, this guy won't be a monk before. Well, looking at his oily bald head, this thought is even more certain.

"God bless you! God bless you! ......", the crowd fell to its knees at once.

Looking at the kneeling crowd in front of him, Luo Zhengliang was very satisfied with the publicity effect this time. He raised his eyes and looked at Togo Heiji not far away, and nodded slightly.

Togo Heiji immediately saluted in understanding, then walked over to the crowd and began to continue to publicize the lord's achievements in last night's battle, and explain the new territory requirements to the lords according to the results of the morning assessment.

"Kuniji, you're familiar with the towns to the south, right?" , Luo Shi Zhengliang turned to Onishi Kuniji who followed behind him and asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, I was born in this vicinity, and I am familiar with the situation in this vicinity, and I have exchanged grain with those townsmen a few times," replied Onishi Kuniji.

"Well, take five people, each with a bandit head, and a spear as a self-defense weapon, and go to these towns, and tell them that we have dealt a heavy blow to the bandits, but the bandits will soon retaliate on a large scale. Tell them clearly that I will give them official subject status and provide protection by force. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty understands", Onishi Kuniji seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied. After solemnly performing a retainer salute again, he turned around and carried out the order.

"Guangzong", Luo Shimasarashi looked at Tsuda Guangzong, who was still excited about the performance just now, and said, "How many swords and spears are there in the territory now?" ”

"Your Highness, 3 swords and 17 spears," Tsuda Hiromune hurriedly replied.

"Okay, Hiromune, gather all the young men over the age of 15 to the flat in front of the town. Distribute these weapons according to their specialty", after a moment's hesitation, Luo Zhengliang ordered.

"Hey!" , Tsuda Hiromune took the order and left.
