The old house of the village is not far from the entrance of the village, and it is diagonally on the left.

Hasegawa Hayato rushed to knock on the door, and instead of knocking, he hammered the door. "Knock knock", the door was hammered.

An old man's voice scolded angrily inside: "The mourner is here, and the family is not dead yet!" ”

Hasegawa Hayato immediately replied: "Uncle, you are not bad for two or three days, isn't it afraid that your old man will not hear!" This is a bit immoral, and the dead do not hear the knock at the door.

Knocking on the door is also regular, and it is normal to visit the door, and the practice is to knock three times, and then knock a few times after a short while.

The loudness of the knock on the door should be moderate, the knock is too soft for the owner of the house to hear, and too loud is disrespectful and will cause disgust. When knocking on the door, you must not punch or kick like Hayato Hasegawa. Regardless of it, just knock it out with a bang, this is a dead person in the family, and I came to the funeral to do this.

The elderly are the most taboo about this kind of unlucky thing.

The village elder is also surnamed Hasegawa, and he is the brother of Hasegawa Hayato's father, and his wife and children died early in the family, and now he is the only one who lives alone, and it is usually Hasegawa Hayato's nephew who comes to visit and take care of him.

Gao Shisheng heard the village elder inside, angrily scolding, when he heard the voice of his nephew, he kept scolding from the house, scolding to the courtyard, and when he came to the door, he opened the door and stabbed a crutch outside.

However, Hasegawa Hayato had already been on guard against his uncle, and when he heard the sound of the door, he dodged to the side in advance.

It doesn't matter if he dodges, this stick almost stabbed the head of the village in the face, but fortunately, Beizhuang Manjiro was quick and stepped forward to grab it.

The village elder looked up and saw that there were five people and one horse standing outside the house, except for the Hasegawa Hayato of the village, the four of them were all dressed in green clothes, wearing green clothes, and the waist was not dressed as a messenger of the village with a knife and a bronze medal. After carefully looking at the person in charge, he felt a little familiar, and immediately recognized that it was the newly appointed head of the village who had just been arrested and fined money in Zenkoin a few days ago.

There was no good thing for the messenger to enter the village, thinking that something had happened in the village, and he was flustered, and he hurriedly knelt down to worship, and said: "The little people are guilty!" ”

How could Gao Shisheng look at such an old man, he really knelt down for himself, hurriedly stepped forward to help, held his arms, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you really tortured me, please get up quickly." After a few more glances, I saw that he was rickety, his beard was gray, and he was not young.

"What's the matter, can you go in and talk?"

"Good, good... Hurry up, please! ”

The village elder is not a servant of the village, but he is also subject to the jurisdiction of the head of the village, and he can't refuse this request, so he hurriedly sends people to the courtyard.

The yard is not big, one left and one right, two wooden houses. A shack was set up on the edge of the thatched toilet in the corner of the courtyard to pile up some sundries, firewood and grass.

The door to the left is ajar, and it appears that the house is inhabited.

The village elder hesitated and said, "The small door is small, and there is no horse shed. Zhuang Tou still asks you to avoid reluctance to tie the horse in my shack, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please don't blame the nobles! ”

"Where, where. It's me who takes the liberty of bothering. ”

Hasegawa Hayato often came, and did not shy away from it, took the reins, led the horses into the shack, the shack was quite spacious, just enough for it to survive, but it was snoozed by the smell of the latrine on the side.

Gao Shisheng followed the village elder into the house first, and Hasegawa's four people, each carrying a bag of miscellaneous grains, also followed, and the fish rushed in.

The old family in the village is still in good condition, and there is a candle lit, although it is not a bright hall, but it is not so that the eyes are black, nothing can be seen, and there are two village elders sitting in the house, both of whom have just come to discuss how to deal with the disaster after the mudslide.

Seeing someone coming in, he was busy getting up, but Gao Shisheng waved his hand again and again to signal that he didn't need to.

Put down the table food bag, free the rain gear and put it behind the door.

The two sides sat down separately, Gao Shisheng had the highest status, and was invited by everyone to sit in the upper seat, the left hand was the deputy guest seat, led by Aoki Daizen, the thief, and the right hand host guest seat sat three village elders and Hasegawa Hayato.

Uncle Hasegawa opened his mouth and asked, "Zhuangtou, come over today...... I don't know what to tell us in the village? Seeing that the servants did not have the shackles of tying people, his heart was a little settled, and then he was afraid of the coming, so he wanted to find them to check the mouths of the people, and temporarily levy the score to ask for servitude.

Every time there is a famine, the village has to go down to the villages to levy and send conscripts to relieve the disaster, and the county is willing to send people to take charge, which must be a good thing. But there is always a priority in the disaster, and the villages with collapsed houses come first, followed by flooded farmland, then roads, and finally ditches.

If your own village is at the back, you can only find a way to save yourself, and there is a shortage of young and strong people, and only the old and weak women and children can get busy.

Therefore, even in disaster relief, villages are reluctant to provide more manpower.

Gao Shisheng saw that he was uneasy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Village elder Degao, why should you be so polite. He pointed to the two tables of miscellaneous grains placed at the door, and said: "I have seen heavy rain for several days, and I am afraid that the poor families in the villages will interrupt their cooking, so I will bring the servants of the village to the village to distribute grain. ”

"The villain first took the villagers to thank the head of the village, and the grace of the rescue......" The village elder who was sitting second on the right looked at the two tables of miscellaneous grains, and replied a little absent-mindedly.

Gao Shisheng asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Huh?"

"Why have the three village elders been talking since I entered the door, but is there any inconvenience?"

Three village elders, you look at me, I look at you, and no one wants to answer. In the end, it was Hasegawa Hayato's uncle who replied: "Zhuang Tou is sympathetic to the people's feelings, why do we feel inconvenient......... Just for the village..."

"For what's in the village?"

"Before, you were discussing the matter of raising gods in the village?"

"What kind of thing?"

"This year, the flood has not stopped, and the villain village wants to go to the Sangong Taisha to worship General Yin Liang, and ask him to temporarily suspend the soldiers and horses, stop the wind and rain, so that I can harvest the grain."

"Palace" refers to the size of the Yanxi shrine in the region, usually called the first palace, one of the palaces of the multi-command system, many sacrifices to the imperial court canonization and recognition of the upper gods, the shrine of the shrine second to the first palace is called the second palace, and the third palace is called the third palace, and a small number of orders will have four palaces and five palaces.

During the burial mound period, the people mostly believed in the gods of mountains and rivers and famous ministers and military generals, until the later Asuka period after the gods and Buddhas were combined, many gods only added Bodhisattva statues, and still maintained a long-term worship.

There are also many shrines in the country, such as the Miyake Taisha Shrine in Weiyi Township, Inasa County, which is the Ninomiya Shrine second only to the Ichinomiya Enxi Shrine.

The god of worship is the former ruler of the Ii clan, the Tadomamori deity of the ancestor of the Miyake clan (Shoji of Iiso). He was a character who traveled to Changseki Province on the orders of King Tashiren and delivered oranges (non-seasonal kazu) to the Shishima Islands of Akitsu, and was known as the god of sweets. Despite this, because the shrine looks like it is devouring a huge rock (Ebony Hat Rock) behind it, if you look closer, the walls of the shrine are cut in the shape of the giant rock, and it is also known as Iwaya Shrine.

Gao Shisheng once had the honor of going to Jingyi Valley and visited him once.

In front of Iwaya Shrine, there is also a "Ninomiya Shrine" that follows the hairpin curve in order to return to the road. The worship deity of Ninomiya Shrine is Soliangjun, the great general of the Southern Dynasty.

Sorakun came from the Nijo family, which has studied waka, so he has been familiar with waka since he was a child. In the second year of Shochu (1325), he entered the Myoken Court to inherit the traces of the Myoken Court, and in December of the second year of Gentoku (1331), he became the lord of the Tendai Seat, but in the case of Motohiro he escaped arrest and went into exile in Sanuki Province.

Later, his father, King Godaigo, successfully fell to the ground, and he was re-appointed as the lord of the Tiantai seat during the establishment of the new policy, and he was still vulgar when the new policy of construction collapsed.

In the 6th year of Shohei (the 2nd year of Kano, 1351), the Ashikaga clan temporarily conquered the Southern Dynasty and unified it for the sake of Shohei, but Nitta Yoshiko, which belonged to the Southern Dynasty, occupied Kamakura. The following year (1352), Muneyojun was appointed as the shogun of the Seiyi Shogun, intending to make a comeback in the Echigo region, but later became estranged from the Suwa and Nishina clans, who supported the Southern Dynasty, and the power of the Southern Dynasty declined significantly.

"At eight o'clock on the 18th day of November, the day before the Queen's Hundred Days, the temple sounded, and the light flew out of the rock of the earth on the Niloz. Eleven-faced Kannon Nari. Impromptu Shrine, the statue of him of the Imperial Inner Array Nibunri, the worship of Ninomiya Daimyo God "On the ninety-ninth day after his death, the talisman deity enshrined in the coffin flew out, and from the time of Ii Michimasa, the specifications for the construction of the ancestral hall sacrifice are Ninomiya Shrine.

"This is a good thing, why are you worried, could it be that there is something difficult?" Gao Shisheng sighed in his heart, manpower is poor, and such disasters can only turn to the heavens and ghosts.

The atmosphere in the room was a little dull, Hasegawa Hayato wiped the rain on his forehead with a dry cloth, and muttered and complained: "Zhuangtou, you said that this General Yin Liang's training is still over, how many times has our Yuanjiang country been flooded?" ”

Yin Liangjun, who worships in Hongo, has some relationship with Iwaya Taisha.

Yin Liangjun is the son of Zong Liangjun and also served as the general of Zhengyi.

The royal family of the Southern Dynasty as seen in the military records of "Langhe Ji" and "Shinano Palace Biography", and the grandson of Emperor Daigo. The biological father is the secretary of state of the Central Affairs Zong Liangjun, the daughter of the mother Ii Michimasa, also known as Yuan Yin Liang, the ancestor of the Go-Daigo Genji, but there are many errors and omissions in the records, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false in the past hundred years.

I was born in Toei Iyakan. In the fifth year of Tianzhu (1379), the prince announced the second product of Xu, and later served as the secretary of the military department. On August 8, the third year of Yuanzhong (1386), he was given the surname Genji, and he was a minister, and at the same time, he was appointed as the second Quanzhong Nayan, and the general of the left guard and the general of Zhengyi. In the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1392), after the unification of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he lived in seclusion in Yoshino. Inheriting his father's legacy, he moved to various parts of the Eastern Kingdom. In the 31st year of Onei (1424), he was defeated in Ogawara and committed suicide in a private house.

At that time, Jingyi Kingdom was subordinate to the Southern Dynasty, and the people in the country believed that the source Yin Liang, the heroic soul who died in the battle was incarnated as the water god of the Hamana Yuanhai, and the war horse he rode turned into the Tianlong River. Legend has it that the flooding of the far river was caused by the fact that the source Yin Liang was in the open sea, training soldiers and horses, preparing for war and preparing for the crusade against the Ashikaga clan, so many shrines were built for him privately, in order to calm the anger and seek good weather in the coming year.

Hasegawa Hayato diverted from the topic, and the other people in the room began to talk about it, some said eleven or two times, and some said seventeen or eighteen times. However, Gao Shisheng knew that what they said was not right, he had seen records when he was helping the officials of the Ministry of Governance in Junfu and sorting out the documents of the summer and autumn floods in the three states of Junyuan.

There were five great floods in the twenty-third year of astronomy, two times in the first year of Hongzhi, four times in one year of Hongzhi, and a maximum of sixteen times in the third year of Hongzhi, plus other things that could not be counted in time, I am afraid that at least more than thirty times.

No matter how many times, everyone argued and counted the number of floods, and the more they remembered, the more the room fell silent. I don't know what to think, Hasegawa Hayato muttered: "Wouldn't it be true that Yin Liangjun is a soldier and a horse is about to be trained, and he wants to bring Yin soldiers with Heishomen to subvert the world of Ashikaga Genji, right?" ”

The people around him all showed expressions of secrecy for a while. Since the Onin War, the shogunate has declined, and the shogun has been deposed and manipulated by the rulers, who have been held hostage by the rulers.

The family of three pipes and four positions has been defeated successively, Hosokawa is overhead for Miyoshi, the Spo clan was stolen by the two acting officials of Asakura and Oda, the Kyogoku family was defeated by the division of the family, the Akamatsu clan was in civil strife and strife, and the nominal possession of a country, the actual main sect was completely hollowed out by the people, and the Yamana clan was still antagonistic to uncle and nephew under the suppression of the Niko family, only Tango was one color, and Kawachi Hatakeyama was embarrassed by a country, barely surviving.

The doomed fall of the Ashikaga Muromachi shogunate, even ordinary people can see that there are many rumors of such gods and ghosts, who is the initiator? No one knows, anyway, the people of Qianshou like this set of proverbs of strange power and chaos, and all kinds of alternative sayings are spreading, and even the servants of the village are not shy about it, which shows how widely they are spread among each other in daily life.

"Hey, this statement is not right, Yuan Yin Liang and Ping Jiangmen are one Genji, one Ping, they are sworn enemies, how can they raise troops together?" This is from the point of view of the source and the opposite.

"Both of them died in the Kanto region, in case there is a sympathy between the samurai." Although Gen Yin Liang and Ping Jiangmen were also killed in the Kanto region, their positions were far apart.

"That's right, what's this, let's fight the world first!" This statement is somewhat insightful.

"Guys, let's talk to me about this god-raising thing first!" Gao Shisheng suddenly reprimanded, afraid that they would say something more unobtrusive, the Imagawa clan is the Ashikaga Shu clan, the Ashikaga Muromachi shogunate perished, can the Imagawa clan have any good end, such a rebellious remark is enough for Zhuang to arrest people and ask for guilt.

Everyone hurriedly shut up, seeing that he had no intention of pursuing it, Uncle Hasegawa glared at his nephew fiercely, and it was this trouble-making thing again!

Then he hurriedly said: "According to the proposed charter, according to the amount of money contributed by each household to share the wealth of the gods, my village is not comparable to other "famous villages", most of the households are poor, although they have exhausted everything, the money they have raised is less than 20 yuan. ”

"Sincerity is spirituality, presumably Lord Yin Liang will not blame too much." Gao Shisheng said with relief.

"What the lord said is, it's better to say that it's okay to say that I can't afford to borrow a loan, but the person who sacrifices has not been able to find it, and now it's raining heavily, I'm afraid it's too late to find it."

"What! You will sacrifice the living! Gao Shisheng was shocked when he heard this.

"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare! The person who sacrificed the villain said was talking about the priest who presided over the sacrifice. The three village elders were also frightened by Gao Shisheng's words.
