Walking in this small town called Andofu, Duanmu also felt very novel. He had never been so patient in observing the lives of ordinary people in the Fire Country.

Walking to the middle of the town, Duanmu discovered a square.

There are six marble columns on both sides of the square.

Opposite the square is a temple.

Logically speaking, when encountering such a religious building, Duanmu would choose to stay away from it. But tonight out of curiosity, he walked towards the temple to see what it was for.

There is a plaque hanging on the temple with four big words "Shenwu Temple" written on it.

No one was around, Duanmu pushed open the door of the temple.

With the moonlight, Duanmu looked at the decorations in the temple.

On the front are two statues. One is the great god of Shenwu, which is the first generation of the Kingdom of Fire. The other, Duanmu Zhi, is a contemporary great name.

Duanmu looked at the statue of contemporary Daming and thought to himself that this was one of the means by which Daming ruled the Kingdom of Fire...

The moonlight shone on the bodies of the two statues, and the eyes of the statue hidden in the shadow were even more gloomy.

The statue is as high as three meters and even majestic.

Duanmu saw the broken pieces that had fallen for a long time, just clay sculptures at the foot of the statue.

Withdrew his eyes looking at the statue, Duanmu walked around the temple.

There are coherent murals on the walls and roofs of the temple.

A big ship sailed through the wind and waves, sailing on the boundless sea, the great god of Shenwu stood at the bow of the ship...

A group of people were landing on a port. As the leader, Shenwu God followed him with many pairs of boys and girls, as well as various craftsmen.

There is a line of words written on the mural here: "In the name of seeking immortals, the great god of Shenwu came from the heavens and brought five hundred boys and girls, two thousand craftsmen, and more than three thousand people."

Duanmu looked at these descriptions and indeed, it had something to do with Xu Fu Dongdu, who Duanmu knew.

Then, the miracles of the God of Shenwu began to be displayed on the murals.

Waving to the sun, the spark brought to people.

Waving to the earth, bringing rice seeds to people.

Waving to the mountains, bringing iron ore to people.

The first great name of the almighty generation, the all-powerful name of the past...

Later, the great god of Shenwu reached its current position as the capital and established the Kingdom of Fire.

The mural has not ended yet. Under the leadership of the great god Shenwu, the Kingdom of Fire fights against ancient strange beasts.

In these murals, Duanmu saw a group of ancient giant beasts such as Yamata Orochi, Penghou, and Rat Jiao.

Perhaps, many strange abilities in the ninja world originated from the era of the great god of Shenwu.

After the death of the God of Shenwu, his sons went to other parts of the mainland and established the Kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Wind and other countries.

It turns out that in myth, all countries in the mainland originate from one place.

I don’t know if the great god of Shenwu knows that his descendants are going to fill the Nanhe River with brains...

The last mural of this temple is a scene where the grandfather of the contemporary Daming Dynasty signed a contract with the first Hokage of Konoha Village to establish a meeting with one village, one country system.

"Come out!"

Duanmu shouted backwards, and he had already sensed that another person had also come to the temple.

A figure appeared at the door, it turned out to be Dororo.

"Let's go, let's talk about it in another place, it makes me uncomfortable."

After saying that, Duanmu took Dororo out.

Opposite the aisle square, the two sat down on the chairs by the roadside and watched the black temple trance together.

The two of them wandered around and thought about their own affairs.

Dororo was silent for a while and spoke:

"Teacher, do you feel uncomfortable in the temple?"

"Yes, the education I received since childhood made me very uncomfortable."

"Teacher, can you please help me?"

"sure."

"Teacher, what do you think about Daming?"

Duanmu scratched his head, it was a bit difficult:

"What do you want to ask me about my opinion?"

Dororo frowned and thought: "For example, in the myth, the great god of Shenwu asked for fire for humans, but... but after our research, this is wrong!"

"you?"

Dororo said in a low voice: "Maybe...I'm the only one left now..."

Duanmu no longer asks about it, everyone has a story.

Duanmu thought about it and said:

"The origin of the fire you mentioned is certainly not something that Shenwu Daming asked for by humans. Flame is a natural phenomenon. Flames may appear if there are burning substances and oxygen."

"Isn't Daming just lying? Why isn't anyone correcting these mistakes?"

Duanmu is also in trouble, so try to explain his ideas clearly:

"Well... Now, this is a question of not right or wrong, but a question about religion.

In ancient times, many natural phenomena were not explained.

People live in endless dangers and unknowns. Facing the fear of nature and the violence of human society, people need spiritual sustenance.

This spiritual sustenance is the root of religion, which is the meaning of Daming in that era.

Daming was once the bond and flag for people to unite and fight in ancient times, and it had very important significance in that era."

Dororo didn't listen to Daming at all, so he hurriedly received:

"What about now? Does daimyo still have any meaning?"

Duanmu has figured out Dororo's attitude. It seems that this little devil is very dissatisfied with Daming.

“Now?

Daming is a product of history, it happened and developed in history.

The root cause of Daming is ignorance and incompetence in the face of nature and violence.

It can only disappear naturally because of the disappearance of its roots.

In other words, when people are strong enough to deal with nature and violence, instead of seeking help from gods, then the name will naturally have no soil for survival.

Daming is lifted up by people themselves and must be eliminated by people themselves.”

Dororo said excitedly:

"Teacher Duanmu, have you ever seen the luxurious and cruel life of Daming and the princes in the capital?

Can't you eliminate Daming as soon as possible?"

Duanmu said hesitantly:

“From the point of force, Daming is easily destroyed by ninjas.

There are many ninjas in history who can razed the country of Fire to the ground.

But do you know why the Ninja Villages in the Big Five Ninja Country never did this?”

Dororo asked in confusion:

"Why? Can't ninjas kill Daming and replace them? The Fire Kingdom will change to a ruler. Even a ninja will definitely be better than Daming!"

Duanmu returns:

"Because, the daimyo in the Kingdom of Fire is not just the daimyo, but a whole set of religions.

So what if you kill Daming?

Temples in various places will also select new names with the blood of the Great God of Divine Martial Arts.

The history of ninja is only one thousand years, but the history of Daming is more than two thousand years.

In the past two thousand years, Daming has encountered more enemies, but Daming still stands tall.

Although this is my first time in contact with the temple of Daming today, there must be a strong temple system in various parts of the Kingdom of Fire.

Their combat strength may not be very strong, but they must have developed a powerful set of methods of apology and missionary preaching.

Over the past two thousand years, these methods have been repeatedly polished and tested, and every reaction of people has been predicted and dealt with, forming a strong inertia.

Killing Daming is easy, but solving the situation afterwards is very difficult.
