400 Past events of Shintoism(1/2)
"The gods of Anui have been peaceful for a long time. Our ancestors originated from the same period as the Shinto gods in the Honshu region, but their development was far less rapid than that of the Shinto gods. If we compare the two, they have been in a weak position for a long time."
The dilapidated Rebunhua Temple was bathed in the sunlight of the incomplete sun, and Yausikpu, who was leaning forward and standing in front of the Valley of Gods, was illuminated by the sunlight and looked holy.
In accordance with Kamiya's request, she recounted the past events of the Anui myth system.
"Although the gods of Kamui were aware of the several battles that broke out between Shinto Takamagahara and Huangquan Kingdom, they did not participate."
"The divine battle between Takamagahara and Huangquan Kingdom? Can you tell me more about it?" Kamiyagawa asked.
"Don't you know, Lord Kamiya?"
"I... Shintoism, the gods are now withered and extinct. I can only be regarded as the successor of the legacy of the old Shinto gods. I don't know anything about what happened before." Kamiya chose to explain truthfully.
Yausikpu raised his head and thought for a while, and then seemed to accept this statement: "I only rose to power on the land of Kamui later, and I don't know much about the past, especially the Shinto religion.
I know very little about the other side of things, so I can only tell you roughly what I know."
"Well, you say."
"As far as I know, the first divine war between Gao Tianyuan and Huangquan Kingdom took place in the ancient century. At that time, many old Shinto gods who originally belonged to Gao Tianyuan were on the side of Huang Quan Kingdom. When the divine war ceased, both sides suffered heavy losses.
, many gods have fallen."
"The gods who originally belonged to Takamagahara are on the side of Huangquan?" Kamiya was slightly surprised when he heard this information.
"Yes, the most representative one is Suzhanming Zun, one of the three noble sons. In addition, there is the Dragon God Anyujiamei God." Yausikpu nodded.
Suzhan Mingzun is the man of Susanoo.
One of the three main gods with extremely high status in Shintoism.
According to legend, when Izanagi returned from the underworld, he believed that his beloved wife Izanami had been completely corrupted by the underworld. He also believed that the underworld was too ugly and filthy, so the first thing he did when he came out was to clean himself.
He performed the purification ceremony in Apoqihara. During the bathing process, the clothes he carried with him and the dirt washed off were transformed into gods of all sizes.
The three subsequent main gods, the Mikiko of Shintoism, were also born in this ceremony.
The god Izanagi transformed into when he washed the dirt in his left eye was Amaterasu. The god he transformed into when he washed his right eye was Tsukuyomi. The god he transformed into when he washed his nose was Susanoo, the god of riots and destruction.
male.
Izanagi seemed very happy when Mikiko was born.
He asked Mikiko to divide and rule the divine residence, and handed the divine artifact Yasaka Qiongquyu to Amaterasu, and asked Amaterasu to govern the most important core divine residence, Takamagahara.
He also ordered Yue Du to govern the Kingdom of Night.
Send the broken tail feather of the sky to Susano'o, ordering him to control the ocean.
Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, each followed Izanagi's instructions to govern the country.
Only Susano-o did not govern the ocean he was entrusted with. He just cried bitterly in front of the ocean. Even when his beard grew to eight fists long and stretched to his chest, he still couldn't stop crying. The mountains will be desolated and the ocean will be wept.
Dry momentum.
And the sound of Susano'o crying was like flies buzzing everywhere in summer, and all kinds of disasters followed.
His son's unsatisfactory look naturally aroused Izanagi's anger.
But when He asked Susano'o why he didn't govern the country as instructed, Susano'o just replied: "I miss my mother and want to go to the land of my dead mother, Huangquan Kingdom, so I cry."
Izanagi's experience in the Underworld was enough to stress him out. Hearing Susano'o say this, of course he was furious.
Later, Susanoo was directly expelled.
In addition, in the chronicles of Japanese mythology, Susanoo's character is changeable. Sometimes he is violent, but sometimes he is heroic. Although there are stories of killing Yamata no Orochi, most of the time he destroys everywhere in the shrine.
For example, after being expelled from the Divine Residence by his father.
He planned to go to Huangquan to find his mother. Before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to his sister Amaterasu who lived in Takamagahara.
But when he walked, the mountains, rivers and all the lands were shaken by it, which alarmed Amaterasu. Amaterasu thought that his younger brother was going to invade Takamagahara, so he was fully armed and prepared to fight. After Susano'o arrived, he explained his intention, but Amaterasu was still a little suspicious.
The two great gods... took the birth of children as proof, and together they gave birth to five boys, three girls and eight gods.
The specific process of giving birth is to clean each other's two artifacts given to each other by God the Father.
What Amaterasu washed from his brother's Juken sword were three goddesses, which later became the famous Munakata three goddesses.
What Susana washed off her sister's magatama were five male gods.
According to the contract they made before giving birth, Magatama gave birth to a strong male god, which means that Amaterasu has a strong offensive mentality at the moment.
The birth of a weak goddess on Susanoo's sword means that he has no intention of having Takamagahara in his journey.
Amaterasu expressed his trust in his younger brother.
After that, Susanoo stayed in Takamagahara for a while, and because he won the childbirth duel with his sister, he got a little carried away. He made trouble everywhere every day, desolating the fields that he had finally cultivated, and throwing the magic horse into the spinning hut.
There was shit in the palace, making everything miserable.
The gods of Takamagahara were helpless against the noble son's brutal violence and felt extremely troubled.
At first, Amaterasu was able to accommodate his Oudou with a tolerant mood.
However, Susanoo was too perverse and willful, and was too unreasonable. Amaterasu, whose soul was seriously hurt, became so angry that he hid in Amamado and never came out.
Only then did Onizuka and the rest of the group believe in the Kagura God Dance, the goddess of heaven worshiped by Juqiong Shrine.
In addition, there is a record in the myth of Susano-o killing Otsuzu Himai, the god of food.
"Um……"
Kamiyagawa carefully thought about the records about Susanoo's life in the myths he had read. Although the myths he had seen were all human records, it was unclear whether there was any hidden story behind them.
But combined with his various deeds, overall, Susanoo will side with his mother in the first battle between gods... unexpected, but reasonable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for the dragon god Dark Silk and Beauty God mentioned by Yausikpu.
Kamiyagawa also knew the name of this god.
The Japanese Dragon God was born from the blood of Kagutsuchi, the god of fire. He was one of several gods who incarnated from Kagutsuchi's corpse after Izanagi killed Kagutsuchi with his ten-fist sword, Ten-no-Oubari.
one.
In terms of biological relationship, the Dragon God is the child of the God of Fire.
His father was beheaded by his grandfather. As a grandson, he probably inherited his grandfather's hatred towards his father, so he probably wouldn't get a good look in the Divine Residence.
It seems natural that in the future, the God War would join my grandmother.
"So the Takamagahara side is not monolithic. After the God War breaks out, it is estimated that many gods will fall to the underworld side for various reasons." Kamiya guessed following Yausikpu's words.
It’s no wonder that the war between gods was so fierce that the gods withered.
Originally.
The gods of Shintoism are basically all born from Izanagi and Izanami, or are their descendants.
The war between two estranged supreme gods is, for other gods, a decision similar to "who will you go with after your parents get divorced?"
It makes sense for anyone to help.
"So, the God War started around the trivial incident between Izanagi and Izanami's family." Kamiya thought again.
However, if you think about the creation myths from around the world, many of them cannot avoid this point.
Like Greek mythology, in the final analysis it's all about the troubles in Zeus's family.
"But having said that, if they hadn't caused the decline of the population, I wouldn't have been able to rise as a reserve force for the co-master of ghosts and gods. Moreover, the myths spread are all recorded by humans. Maybe there are unknown secrets behind the matter.
indefinite."
…
Yausikpu really didn’t know much about the old affairs of Shintoism. After roughly telling everything he knew, he returned to Anui:
"After the Fourth War of Gods in Shintoism came to an end, the gods withered. The old Shinto gods began to invade the surrounding gods' residences and plunder the faith. It was at that time that the Kamui land of Anui began to become lost."
Relying on the words of the Spider Goddess, Kamiya had a more detailed understanding of the strength of Shintoism and Anui.
Shintoism is still very strong.
The battle between the gods was so intense that the gods were beaten out of their heads, but the withered old gods of Shinto could still regain health by plundering from the surrounding small faiths, such as Anui.
Yausikpu: "And I am a new god who emerged after the land of Kamui fell into despair. After I became a god, most of the gods on this land have fallen. After that, including the demon gods of the village,
The God of the Underworld inside, brought the power of the Underworld to invade and plunder on a large scale, and even swallowed up the original Sun God."
