Kawakami Harano respectfully sent Li Haocheng out of his yard.
After returning to the house, he heard the samurai behind him curiously say: "May I ask why your Excellency kept silent just now and didn't ask for advice?"
"Do you think Mr.
Li Haocheng didn't see what I meant?"
Kawakami Harano sighed, and said helplessly: "That bowl of tea just now was the answer Mr.
Li Haocheng gave me.
A person like him, not someone with my caliber, can Those who are retained, even the Daimyo Kujo family who is in charge of our place, may not be able to retain them.
"This" samurai was a little stunned.
In his opinion, the Hojo family, which ruled more than ten cities including Odawara Castle and served together, was already an unattainable existence.
But according to his master's wishes, he could not keep this person.
As Mr.
Li Haocheng, he couldn't help but be surprised.
On the other side, Li Haocheng, who left Kawakami Wilderness, was not in a hurry to go to Onoshan.
After all, he told the Fuso merchants on the official ship that he came to Fuso hoping to preach.
Now that he has arrived in a city, he has to show off even if he is pretending. manner.
The process of preaching is predictably difficult.
After all, there is only so much land in Fusang, and worshiping eight million gods is close to the limit.
Later, Buddhism was introduced, and it was only because the boundaries between gods and Buddhas were blurred that they flourished.
For example, the Bull-headed Heavenly King and the Hachiman Bodhisattva, the former is the product of the fusion of the local god of Fuso and the Buddhist protector, while the latter directly blurs the boundaries between Bodhisattvas and gods.
However, although the preaching process was difficult, during the days he stayed in Odawara Castle, nobles from the city would come to entertain Li Haocheng every day.
Either for themselves or for the sake of the big shots behind him, they tested Li Haocheng and asked him if he intended to stay.
Come down and serve.
These exchanges not only made Li Haocheng gradually become a man of great wisdom recognized by Odawara City, but also gradually gained the goodwill of many nobles, making it much more convenient for him to do things in the city.
In addition to this, some villagers living in the surrounding areas came to see Li Haocheng after hearing the news, hoping that he could help them get rid of some monsters and fusangshen that were entangled near the village.
Although these monsters and Fu Sangshen are low-class characters, they are still invincible to ordinary Fuso people.
Li Haocheng, who wanted to be a saint, naturally agreed.
As more and more monsters he exterminated, Li Haocheng's reputation became more and more important.
One day, he suddenly discovered that the belief in the God of the Moon was actually left in these villages. traces.
Some villagers would also speak words of blessing from the Moon God.
Although such words were only spoken verbally and could not provide any incense and wishes, they provided Li Haocheng with an idea.
He suddenly remembered the Earth Star Island Country.
A unique kind of statue of Jizo.
Although I don’t know how many incense wishes and believers are collected every day, the number of statues scattered throughout the island and abroad is enough to crush all the gods in the island country.
Li Hao was so excited that he began to declare that the God of the Moon could protect children who died in childhood, and that the God of the Moon was so merciful that he did not need to be enshrined in a shrine.
He only needed to erect a small statue half a foot high to two feet high and place it on the roadside.
Or outside the house, Then make a piece of clothing worn by the child who died young into a shawl, scarf or bib.
It is best to have the child's surname, first name, nickname or birth date written on it.
It doesn't matter if it is not used.
Put it on the statue of the god, and then regularly Just perform worship services.
This move made many parents who were sad because of the death of their children happy.
In the local Fuso mythology, there is a view that after the death of a child in infancy, it makes the parents sad.
If they are not baptized and purified by a priest, they will not be able to survive the three journeys.
Chuan went to the underworld and lingered in the river of Sai forever.
He was forced by Onizashi to build stone towers.
When he was about to finish stacking, Onizashi knocked him down with a stick, and then continued to stack them again.

It repeated like this, never ending.
At this moment, the common people in Fuso were very excited to hear that there was a god from Middle-earth who could save their children, and the price they had to pay was only a small statue of the god and a piece of rag, and the material of the statue was not even required.
At this time, there happened to be a parent whose family was average and whose child had just died, and couldn't help but come to ask Li Haocheng about his specific requirements for worshiping the statue.
Li Haocheng did not hesitate to personally carve a statue for him.
Because he followed the low-end people's route, Li Haocheng did not carve it very beautifully.
He just used the simplest method to carve out the most basic appearance.
Then cut a piece of cloth brought by the couple, make it into a shawl, write the names, nicknames and birthdays on it, put it on the statue of the god, stand it in front of their door, and instruct them how to worship.
Miraculously, not long after the statue was erected, the couple dreamed that their child was grateful to them.
They were so happy that they told their relatives and friends about the news, and went to help them carve the statue and give them instructions on how to worship.
In this way, the belief in the God of the Dark Moon began to spread around the countryside outside Odawara Castle.
Regarding Li Haocheng's actions, some nobles in Odawara Castle who were inclined to the shrine expressed their embarrassment.
On the one hand, they admired Li Haocheng's knowledge, but on the other hand, they were ordered by the shrine to not allow them to help this wise man from China preach and establish shrine.
Now that the belief in the Middle-earth god suddenly spread outside the city, these nobles who relied on the shrine themselves could not ignore it like those nobles with higher status and no good opinion of the shrine.
But Li Haocheng's actions were just a side kick, and he didn't even think about building a shrine.
According to the Fuso Shinto system, gods without shrines and temples cannot be regarded as righteous gods at all.
From this perspective, Li Haocheng's preaching seems to be considered.
Above is failure.
The most important thing is that nobles generally pay little attention to the lives of residents outside the city.
If it weren't for their special concern for Li Haocheng, they would order people to check the places he visited regularly.
Maybe, even after the entire Odawara Castle was shrouded in the belief of the God of the Dark Moon, they didn't notice anything was wrong.
But now it is not easy to expel the belief in the God of the Dark Moon.
First, Li Haocheng was still in Odawara Castle and forcibly expelled him.
That was to break up with Li Haocheng.
The dozen monsters and Fusangshen who were expelled during this period have proved that this wise man from , is also very powerful, and his swordsmanship is sought after by the warriors in the city.
Head-on confrontation, consuming his own capital, will only give other people an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Second, the belief in the God of the Dark Moon is only rooted outside the city and has no signs of spreading into the city.
The status of the people outside the city in Fusang is relatively low, just higher than the unrecognized barbarians and untouchables.
Really Let the nobles in the city spend their time destroying the statues of gods and expelling their faith.
They can't do it, and they don't want to do it.
This group of nobles lingered, worrying about this and that for a long time.
Until Li Haocheng stayed in Odawara Castle for two months and left, they did not make up their mind to expel the belief in the God of the Dark Moon.
Instead, they let the people know about the God of the Dark Moon.
Belief, with the exchanges between businessmen, gradually spread to all directions
