However, because the subsequent believers of other gods are more powerful than each other, and everyone believes in Tianjin God, the status of Okuninushi God can now be said to lag behind many gods.
Some studies also claim that the Tianjin God is an imported god, and that all the legendary three sacred artifacts were introduced from the mainland.
Kunitsu God is a local god, so it is not an exaggeration to call him a "local".
"By the way, have you heard of the legend of Awihara Kunijo?" After looking at a few people, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
"Ashihara Kunijo, I know this!" Rikka Takanashi suddenly said.
She has always been interested in these supernatural things. She naturally knows about Ashihara Kunijo, a famous battle of gods in Japanese mythology.
"Legend has it that when Okuninushi was ruling Awahara China, Amaterasu Omikami appointed Amenohiro no Horo-no-Mikoto as the ruler of Awahara China and sent Takemiya Raijin and Ame-no-Fune to take over."
"Okuninushi and his eldest son, Yae Kotoshiro-ushi, have agreed, but the second son, Takemikata-no-Mikado, still has objections."
"Takemikata is the strongest god among the Kunitsu gods. The other party swung a huge rock and smashed it at Takemikata, saying that he wanted to compete with Takemikata in strength."
"Takeru Raijin agreed to challenge Takeru Mingfangshen, but just when Takeru Mingfangshen was about to hold Takeru Raijin's hand, Takeru Raijin's hand suddenly turned into an icicle, and then into a sword, scaring Takeru Mingfangshen so much that he stepped back repeatedly."
"After that, Jianyu Thunder God did not intend to let Jianyu Mingfang Shen go. He took a step forward and grabbed the clothes on Jianyu Mingfang Shen's chest. While waving his fist, he said, 'Then I will shake your hand too!'"
"As a result, Takemiya Akata's hand was as fragile as the reeds in Awahara China, and was directly broken by Takemiya Thunder God, and the whole person fell to the ground."
"After getting up, Jianyu Mingfang Shen no longer dared to go against Jianyu Lei Shen and fled directly and quickly."
"After that, Takemiya Raijin didn't intend to let him go, and he kept following Takemiya Akatagami until Shuuhakai of Kanno Country caught up with him and planned to kill him directly."
"Under such circumstances, Takemikata could only kneel down and beg for mercy, saying that he would obey Amaterasu's orders and give up Awahara China. Only then did Takemikata let him go."
"Later, Takemikata chose to recuperate in the Suwa area, and now has become the main god of the Suwa area."
After telling the legend of Awihara Kunirou, Rikka Takanashi couldn't help but look at Hayama Kazuto with some expectation. The ahoge on her head jumped, as if she was expecting Hayama Kazuto's praise.
"There is nothing wrong with what you said, but there is one thing we need to note. The Kojiki records that the gods who took over Awahara China were Takemikami and Amano-no-funa, but the Nihonshoki records that it was Takemikami and Mutsu-nushi who took over Awahara China." said Hayama Kazuto.
"In the Nihonshoki, the role of the Ame-no-tori is that of a boatman. Because the Yae-no-koto-shiro-no ...
Opinion."
Hearing this, Rikka Takanashi nodded helplessly.
She had only read the story of Awahara Kunijo, but didn't quite understand the differences between the stories of Awahara Kunijo in different ancient Japanese books.
"Takemikaze God and Kizuno-no-Mikoto are actually Takenori Tsuchiya and Kizuno-no-Mikoto, who are now worshipped at Kasuga Taisha Shrine, that is, Kashima God and Katori God."
"In mythology, Takemikaze and Tsutsu-no-Kami seized Ashihara-China from Okuninushi. In reality, Kashima and Katori gradually replaced Okuninushi. Don't you think this is a bit of a coincidence?"
Smiling, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but blink slightly.
If it is true what Hayama Kazuto said, it is very likely that the Fujiwara clan compiled the legend of Ashihara Kunijo in order to protect the legal status of their own main god.
Originally, people thought that mythology had a long history, but now it seems that mythology is even younger than history.
Chapter 2491: I am positive towards you, but not towards us
"However, you should not think that Takemikata is weak just because Takemikata's arm was broken by Takemikata. In fact, Takemikata is one of the strongest fighters among the Kunitsu gods."
"After arriving in the Suwa region, Takemikata fought a great battle with the local god of the Suwa region, Shiya-gami, and defeated him. He then became the main god of the Suwa region."
Listening to what Yushan Kazuto said, several people couldn't help but blink. Although they had never heard of the name Xieya God, but from Yushan Kazuto's description, Takemikata God's strength seemed to be top-notch among the Kunitsu Gods.
This is indeed the case. The Okuninushi family is able to firmly maintain its dominant position in the Kunitsugami system, and their strength is certainly not to be underestimated.
However, the gap between Kunitsu God and Tianjin God is too big, and Takemikaze God is a very powerful type even among Tianjin Gods, so it is natural for him to deal with a Takemikaze God.
"In that case, this couple's national shrine should have been established before the establishment of Kasuga Taisha?" Kato Megumi said after thinking for a while.
"That's not clear. Maybe it's a shrine that has existed for a long time, or maybe it was abolished at that time and rebuilt later." Yushan Kazuto said.
Kazuto Hayama was not clear about the specific situation of Meotoo Okuni Shrine, and small shrines like this did not seem to be the type with an orderly inheritance. Perhaps even the people inside the shrine were not clear about the history of their own shrine.
Therefore, Hayama Kazuto only dared to say that the history of this shrine is longer than that of Kasuga Taisha, but it does not mean that the history of this shrine is longer than that of Kasuga Taisha.
In fact, in Japanese mythology, there are not many gods that were actually killed, and most of the gods were "recruited".
This is how many shrines’ successor and successor shrines came about: the victorious gods recruited the defeated gods, and the victorious believers also recruited the defeated believers.
Of course, there have been cases where someone has taken over someone else's business, but this situation is generally considered normal in Japan.
"Let's go in and pay our respects, then go feed the deer."
After introducing the history of the Couple Okuni Shrine, Kazuto Yuyama couldn't help but look at Umi Doma and the others and said.
A few people were still thinking about it, but after hearing Yushan Heren's voice, they nodded.
After entering the Couple Okuni Shrine and paying homage, they headed towards the parking lot.
Although Deer Crackers only cost 200 yen each, since the school provides two for free, we can't waste them.
"It smells so good!" After getting the Deer Cracker, Fujinomiya Ningzi couldn't help but say.
"The taste of whole grains." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
"Tell me, can humans eat Deer Crackers?" After looking at Yushan Kazuto, Fujinomiya Ningzi suddenly turned her eyes and said.
"Theoretically, it's edible." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren shrugged.
"As long as you can stand the taste of it."
"Such a fragrant deer senbei, the taste should not be bad." Fujinomiya Ningzi blinked and said.
"The main ingredients of Deer Crackers are rice bran and flour. You can think about it yourself." Yushan Kazuto said.
Rice bran is used in animal husbandry in many places.
Processing it into Deer Senbei is actually just a way of using rice bran, and it does not change the taste of the rice bran.
"Plus, the diet of deer is different from that of humans. There are many things that deer cannot eat. Deer senbei smells good, but it actually has no seasoning."
After listening to what Yushan Kazuto said, Fujinomiya Ningzi, who was originally eager to try, couldn't help but give up the idea.
At the same time, not far away, Miyauchi Guanghua was retching violently.
"Ah? What is that? It smells so good, but tastes so bad. Ugh~"
"I just told you not to try it, but you insisted on trying." A classmate next to Miyauchi Mitsukawa couldn't help but laugh.
"You should have spoken more firmly at that time, uh~" Miyauchi Mitsuka couldn't help but say.
"I just checked on my phone. Although deer like the taste of Deer Crackers very much, it is not considered delicious for humans." The classmate continued.
"Hey, you checked it secretly on your phone?" Upon hearing this, Miyauchi Guanghua couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at the classmate next to him.
No wonder the other party showed some signs of being eager to eat, but when it came time to really eat, he started to dissuade him.
"We must investigate! What if Deer Clams are harmful?" Upon hearing this, the other party said righteously.
"How could it be harmful? If it were harmful, why would it feed the deer so much?" Miyauchi Guanghua couldn't help but ask.
"Who knows? Humans and deer are not the same species. There are many things we can eat that deer cannot eat, so I suspect that the deer crackers that are specially made for deer cannot be eaten by humans. Isn't that normal?" the other party said.
"Then... can I eat it?" Hearing the other party's words, Miyauchi Guanghua couldn't help but become nervous.
"There's no problem with that, it's just a little unpalatable." the other party said.
Hearing this, Miyauchi Guanghua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since the Deer Crackers could be eaten, she no longer had to worry about having any problems after eating them.
……
After getting the deer senbei, Hayama Kazuto, Kato Megumi, and Fujinomiya Ningzi returned to the direction of Kasuga Taisha Shrine.
Compared to the group of deer hooligans in Nara Park who are rampant and come up to steal things when they see deer senbei
The Nara deer near Kasuga Taisha Shrine are a bit more gentle.
Although the Nara deer at Kasuga Taisha Shrine are obviously not as densely populated as those at Nara Park, Yushan and the other two prefer them.
What's more, although the number is not as large as that in Nara Park, the absolute number of deer at Kasuga Taisha Shrine is still not small.
Only when they got near the shrine did Yushan and the other two dare to take out the deer clams in their hands.
If the rogue deer in Nara Park saw the deer crackers in the hands of the three people, the deer crackers in their hands would not be preserved so well as they are now.
Seeing Yushan and the other two taking out the deer senbei, the closest Nara deer slowly walked over.
You can see that they are still a little dazed and reserved. After all, they have not yet transformed into experienced people.
"This deer is the most active. Let's reward it with a piece of deer senbei first." Looking at the Nara deer that had already walked to his side, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile and threw a piece of deer senbei to the other party.
"It's positive towards you, but not towards us." After looking at Yushan Kazuto, Fujinomiya Ningzi couldn't help but say, but there was no hesitation in her hands' movements.
On the other side, Kato Megumi did not say anything, but silently fed a piece of deer senbei to the Nara deer that was arguing with Hayama Kazuto.
Chapter 2441 Nishimiya Glass's Temporary Roommate
In carriage number 14, Doma Mei saw Isshi Iroha, the leader of Yuuki Asuna, and couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes.
If she had known that Isshiki Iroha was sitting next to Asuna Yuuki, Doma Mai would not have come to chat with Asuna Yuuki.
But now that she was already here, it would not be good to just leave, so Doma Mai had no choice but to sit down.
Looking at Tsuchima Mai who looked unhappy, Isshi Iroha couldn't help but smile slightly.
I don’t know why, but every time I see Tsuchiya Mai being unhappy or frustrated, Isshiki Caiyu feels very happy inside.
Yuuki Asuna was aware that the relationship between the two was not that good. She was originally prepared to play the role of a neutralizer, but she didn't expect that before she could say anything, Doma Mai had already sat down with gritted teeth.
Doma Mai knew that this was the carriage for Class D of the first grade after all, so it would be no problem for her to come here by herself, but she still had to be more restrained since she was in someone else's territory.
Isshiki Caiyu is not the type of person who is annoying or dislikes everyone in the class. On the contrary, Isshiki Caiyu's playful personality makes her very popular in the class.
Among the girls in the first-year class D, the most popular one is Yuuki Asuna.
Although Yui Doma enjoys considerable popularity among the entire first year class of Toyonosaki, she still has certain disadvantages when playing on the opponent's home court.
Sitting in her seat, looking at Yuuki Asuna and Isshi Iroha, Tsuchima Yui suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Doma-san, why did you come here alone? Didn't Takanashi-san and Touma-san come here?" After looking at Doma-san and finding that she didn't say a word and seemed to be unable to find any topic to talk about, Isshi Iroha took the initiative to speak.
Hearing this, Tsuchima Mai looked at Isshiki Iroha with some surprise. She didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to speak and help ease the embarrassment.
"You're talking about Sanae and Rikka. As soon as they got on the bus, they fell asleep in their seats." After thinking for a while, Tsuchima Mai spoke.
If not for this, Doma Yui would not have sent the message to Yuyama Kazuto before.
It wasn't pleasant to secretly chat with Hayama Kazuto under the watchful eyes of Toumori Sanae and Takanashi Rikka.
"Is that so? I heard that Takanashi-san and Touma-san are relatively young. They really are a bit like children!" Isshi Iroha couldn't help but smile.
Hearing this, Tsuchiya couldn't help but blink slightly.
Rikka Takanashi just looks smaller, but her actual birthday is a few months earlier than Yui Doma!
Sanae Touma is indeed younger. She is two years younger than Yui Doma and just turned fourteen this year.
But fourteen years old is definitely not too young.
"Well, she seems a bit childish usually, but she's also very cute." After thinking about it, Tsuchima Mai continued Isiroha's words.
She could tell that Isshiki Iroha didn't want the other people in their class to know about their disagreement, and Doma Yui also didn't want the news to leak out.
Therefore, the two of them quickly reached a false tacit understanding and began to talk with smiles on their faces.
……
There was a false harmony in carriage No. 14.
But in carriage number five, Nishimiya Naoko felt a little uneasy.
Sitting next to her was Ueno Naoka. Normally, when she saw her in class, Nishimiya Shoko would feel a little nervous. Now, she was sitting next to her, and in the next few days, the two would live in the same room.
Some teachers in charge will assign rooms according to the relationship between classmates, such as Kirisu Mafuyu, who does this.
However, some teachers feel that this assignment method is too troublesome, so they choose to assign students directly according to student numbers. This is the case with the teacher in charge of Class E in Grade 2.
In addition to adhering to the principle of separating boys and girls, the teachers in charge of Class E of Grade 2 basically do whatever is convenient, and student numbers are the most intuitive way of assignment.
However, student numbers are arranged according to name, except for the first grade students who just entered school. After that, the transfer students are arranged according to the time of admission.
There were only two transfer students in the first-year class E, namely Nishimiya Shoko and Ueno Naoka. Their student numbers were inevitably squeezed together. Under such circumstances, it was very normal for them to be arranged in the same room.
