Chapter 480: History of Watatsumi Island
Listening to the old man's scolding words, Jiang Bai did not speak.
He found that there are not many deeds about the big snake, and the old man said that it was only those few things, and he didn't know if it was because the history was lost, or because the reign was too small, and there were only so many that were handed down.
This old man's belief is also obviously a little abnormal, just like the original Wanyan, and most of his cognition of the Great God of Watatsumi is out of a kind of self-beautification.
And because of the difference in beliefs, he was extremely hostile to the shogunate.
This was true of just the old people, and the hatred of the shogunate by the young people who had been nurtured by the old people was self-evident.
The Eye Hunt Order was just a fuse.
Jiang Bai said goodbye to the old man and continued to talk to people in the village, and found that the situation of other people in the village was similar to that of this old man.
Their belief in the Orochi is blind and fanatical, and some of them are extreme, while others are able to keep their sanity, but all the inhabitants of Watatsumi Island, without exception, are very disgusted with the miners who mine the crystallized bone marrow and those who use it to make weapons.
They believe that the serpent can be resurrected, and that crystallized bone marrow is the blood of the serpent, the power of the serpent, and that the act of mining is to hinder the resurrection of the serpent, which is a serious blasphemy, and the blasphemy makes the hatred more and more intense.
Jiang Bai didn't know how the big snake died, but he thought that he also died during the Demon God War, the Demon God War was not what the Demon God wanted, but they were subject to some kind of rules and had to kill each other, and there must be losers in the fight, and they couldn't complain about Thor.
From an outsider's point of view, Thor is really a rather benevolent god, not only allowing Watatsumi Island to make himself, but also allowing them to retain their faith in the Great Snake.
And judging from the fact that the Great Snake died on Yayun Island, it is very likely that the Great Snake invaded Inazuma, which led to the Thunder God beheading him, and in any case, the Thunder God was in charge.
In the evening, after talking to many people in the village, Jiang Bai came to the Coral Palace.
He was going to ask if there was any record of the history of Watatsumi Island.
There are not many stories of the big snake told by the villagers, and there are too many beautifying elements, and the death of the big snake is also unknown.
He was curious about the real history and wanted to see if there were any books on the Sango Palace.
As the governing body of the entire Watatsumi Island, the building of the Sangonomiya Palace is quite large, and in addition to the soldiers guarding it, there are many shrine maidens.
These shrine maidens are not only shrine maidens, but also have the duty of handling the affairs of Watatsumi Island for the current gods and shrine maidens, and they have a high status.
Jiang Bai didn't plan to find Xinhai directly, she found a witch who seemed to be free to talk to her.
"Miss Miko, are you free now? I would like to ask you something. ”
"My name is Ryuko, just call me Ryuko. Strange guests, excuse me. "Miss Miko's attitude is very friendly.
"Are there any books on the history of Watatsumi Island? I am very interested in the origin of Watatsumi Island and the great god of Watatsumi. ”
"There are books, but there are no historical materials in the Coral Palace, and they are all compiled by later generations."
'Compiled by the latecomers.'
Jiang Bai can already imagine what the books compiled by the later ones will look like, and the real ones do not exist, most of them are conjectures.
"Why is there no historical circulation?" Jiang Bai was puzzled.
Even Findelny has frescoes that have survived to record history, but this large Watatsumi Island does not.
"Watatsumi Island is customary, and most of the stories are passed down by word of mouth. If you want to know, I can tell you. ”
Jiang Bai no longer had any hope of knowing the true history of Watatsumi Island, and the story passed down from word of mouth to word of mouth may have been 108,000 miles away from the truth.
However, he was still limited to wonder how the witch would tell this history, and whether she would turn it into a self-imagination like the villagers.
"We, the people of Watatsumi Island, have been living in a dark and lonely place since the abyss, and two thousand years ago, the great god of Watatsumi heard our voice and brought us out of the abyss to create Watatsumi Island."
"Where the hell is Haiyuan? Deep under the sea? Jiang Bai had heard about this place several times, but he really didn't understand where it was.
Seabed? But how do you live under the sea?
The shrine maiden Rōko walked out of the Coral Palace, stood on the edge of the large shell that supported the Coral Palace, pointed to the bottomless sea below and was so dark that it was as black as ink, and said:
"That's the abyss."
"Down there?" Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows.
He had thought that it was not normal down there, and the entire rivers and seawater on Watatsumi Island had gathered below, as if a huge mouth of the abyss that could only enter and could never be filled.
He had planned to go down and have a look, but he hadn't had time to go yet.
"Yes, it was from this that the Great God of Watatsumi brought our ancestors out of the abyss, but the entrance has long been sealed, and all we can see now is a surface of water."
"In other words, if you fall into the sea, what will happen?"
"Yes. But it's easy to go down, but it's hard to come up. ”
Jiang Bai looked down, it was indeed easy to go down and difficult to come up, there were cliffs all around, if you wanted to come up, you could only climb, and you really couldn't go up without that physical strength.
"The Great Gojin has established for us a kingdom of Kaiguo without plunder, without bullying, and without suffering from oppression, but hunger torments Hemaki, and the fertile land is not in Wata, and at that time Narujin had unified Inazuma and was brave and good at fighting, and the people asked the great Great Gojin to give them happiness once again.
The Great Gojin did not agree at first, but the barren people repeatedly requested, and finally the people's wishes were granted.
"He trained the poor seafarers into strong warriors, driving boats and sea beasts. Waves and clouds, accompanied by whale songs, launched an invasion towards the land of thunder.
"The people looked forward to the better of tomorrow and fought bravely, but the Great Gojin was defeated by the Raiden shogun and was beheaded on Yakuma Island, and Watatsumi Island was returned to the Inazuma territory."
In Watatsumi Island, where there is no written history, most of the history has been lost in time, and only the story of the Great Snake has become more and more vivid through word of mouth.
The shrine maiden Luzi didn't talk for long, although it was still mixed with beautification, but it was already able to provide Jiang Bai with quite a lot of information.
In summary, it is actually very simple, that is, the Great Snake brought the people of the abyss out of the abyss, established Watatsumi Island, and it was not long before he invaded the outside world at the request of the people and died.
It is estimated that the time that Orochi will actually lead Watatsumi Island is only a few years, and it will never exceed ten years.
However, it was this short-lived reign that established the faith of the people of Watatsumi, and it did not change even after it was incorporated into the land of Inazuma.
Of course, it may also be the reason why Raiden Shogun gave them a high degree of autonomy.
After listening to such a piece of history, Jiang Bai felt that General Raiden was even more merciful.
