Akutagawa's Life as a Savior

Minghe Town is located in Venier, a small country on the continent of Urubian. This country is neither rich nor powerful. The only saving grace is that it has joined the neighboring big country—Mingbo Republic through its rich mineral resources. Under its protection, life is much better than in previous years.

Mingbo Republic is a member of V5, one of the five most powerful countries in the world.This country's foreign style is rare and tolerant. While benefiting from the minerals of the Vernier country, it is not hesitating to give it a hand. It has built a large number of infrastructure in the Vernier country, and by the way, it has promoted its international reputation. social status.

The country of Venier, which is backed by mountains, has successfully transformed and entered the modern society with great strides. Even Minghe Town, which is far away from the capital, has benefited.

During the war hundreds of years ago, a group of people escaped the war and found this treasure land. There was no invasion by soldiers and bandits, and there was no harsh government and heavy taxes. The descendants of that group of people have multiplied happily for hundreds of years. .Until the road was built, outside information poured in, the town was brought under the control of the government, and the townspeople were no longer simple.

Up to now, after the construction of the road, the young people in Minghe Town can go out to work, and the special products of Minghe Town can also be sold to other places in large quantities.

But the real development of Minghe Town depends on the tourism industry.With a steady stream of tourists, there will be a steady stream of money flowing in, as well as a rich and superior life for the townspeople.

Minghe Town has beautiful scenery, surrounded by mountains, located in a basin, and Minghe River runs through the town.Coupled with the pleasant climate and fertile land, there are not only endless deep mountains and wild forests, but also winding waters with winding paths, colorful and splendid flower seas, and imposing waterfalls.

The unique geographical advantages can be brought into full play when there are channels for foreign exchanges. The beautiful natural scenery of Minghe Town has a good reputation in the surrounding towns. After the road was opened, people came to visit one after another.

But this only keeps Minghe Town from being too poor. What really makes Minghe Town develop and become a famous international tourist star town is not the beautiful natural scenery, nor the legendary historical experience, but the Minghe Town. The town's true specialty - a living deity unique in the world.

This special product first made Minghe Town famous all over the country, and then spread it all over the world. Every day, countless people poured into the town to worship the legendary living god, and many research teams also came here to study the mysteries of the god.

This god appeared 5 years ago. After a certain night, the teenagers who got up early to play suddenly found a strange person in the field. Clothes just seen, eyes closed, motionless.

This person has a very beautiful appearance, black hair, the tail of the hair turns white strangely, no facial features are delicate, and the skin is pure white.He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a perfect figure, undoubtedly a figure these teenagers had never seen before.

A bold boy called him a few times, but there was no response, so he pushed and shoved him a few more times. It must be the dummy that people from outside said.

A few teenagers had a dispute. Such an exquisite and real-life portrait must be worth a lot of money. Even if the clothes the portrait is wearing are taken off, it must be sold for a lot of money.

After several teenagers fought among themselves, they decided to share the money they got from selling this treasure according to their combat power.But what they didn't expect was that the weight of the treasure exceeded expectations, and even with the combined efforts of several people, it couldn't move it.

The resentful teenagers had no choice but to go home and tell their family members what they had discovered. Several young men from the family dispatched together and rushed to the place the teenagers said, lest they be seized by others.After working hard, I found that I still couldn't do anything about this portrait.

No matter how much you push, lift, bump, or even take a lever, you can't get it up.This person seems to have pissed off the group of people, so he simply took off his clothes and reported this strange thing to the mayor.

But what they didn't expect was that the clothes were helpless, no matter how hard they tried, the clothes just stayed in place, and they couldn't even pull up a pleat or change its curvature.

A wise man suddenly realized it, and said loudly: "This clothes is not made by wearing, this clothes are also carved out, and it looks like this after being colored."

Everyone sighed suddenly, since the stone statue was so heavy and hard, they had no choice but to tell the mayor about it, maybe the mayor would reward some money to spend.

In this way, the story of the portrait spread all the way, and the townspeople all came to visit this magical portrait one after another, and were amazed at the fine technique and exquisite appearance.

The mayor also came to see it, but the mayor didn't seem like these fools were ignorant, the touch and weight, where it would be a stone statue, was clearly a legendary treasure.

The mayor secretly invited acquainted experts to come to appraise it. The experts regretfully denied the possibility that the figure was a treasure, but he gave an even more astonishing conclusion: the figure seemed to be alive!

The motionlessness on the surface of the portrait makes one mistakenly think that it is a dead object, but after inspection by instruments, it can be found that the portrait has subtle but continuous breathing and pulse.

Experts have some insight, and they know some anecdotes and strange things in the world. There are strange things and people with strange energies in this world.Experts warned the mayor that this might be the legendary hunter who possessed strange powers, it was best to ignore him and let him fend for himself.

The mayor, who was very disappointed, no longer paid attention to this strange man, but the story of the portrait gradually spread.People have gradually discovered more strangeness of this portrait: no matter it is windy, rainy, or someone’s prank, this portrait always maintains its original appearance, without even a little dirt, and is always as clean as new and shining brightly sitting there.Dust must not be stained, time has not invaded.

Someone set a fire in the middle of the night when no one was around, but the portrait sitting in the fire was not damaged at all, but the flame gradually became smaller, as if absorbed by the portrait.

This incident was even more amazing. Someone tried it with a knife and a chisel, and the chisel that easily dug up the rock hit the portrait without even making a sound.Everyone gradually became afraid.

After a while, someone built a simple nest on the portrait to protect it from the sun and rain.Someone came over with a tribute, perhaps to ask for a wish, or maybe to ask for forgiveness.

In this way, the unchanging portrait changes and changes in people's minds.

The deeds of this portrait spread all over the surrounding area, and some people drove to see it. People made up many stories about this portrait, and some people bought things to worship as if they were joking.

This behavior has been circulating for a long time, and some people take it seriously.Suddenly one day, a piece of news came: this portrait is not a strange creature, but a real god who can manifest spirits!

After a couple worshiped here, the demented youngest daughter of the family recovered her sanity!

When the news came out, everyone talked about it, most of them were joking, but more and more news came gradually, that some desperate people really had miracles on their bodies after worshiping devoutly.

Everyone was skeptical, and people in the town greeted each other when they met, "Have you heard about it?" "I heard, I heard that after so-and-so in the next town worshiped the statue, his illness was really cured."

The rumors spread widely, and everyone summed up the common points of the rumors: they are all things beyond the reach of human beings, and they all firmly believe in the miracles of this god and become its followers.

So the matter got out of hand, and the news flew all over the country as if it had grown wings, and then spread to the neighboring big country-Mingbo Republic.

The big country sent a research team, and the team studied here for several months, and announced the research results after discussion: This is indeed a living existence that can fulfill wishes.

The big countries want to transport the portraits away, but they can't do it no matter what. Not only can the portraits do nothing, they can't even move their positions.The big country hollowed out the ground under the portrait, and the portrait floated in place motionless.

Whether it's the latest weapon or the most powerful force involved, the portrait is so motionless and frozen in place.

Finally, the big powers gave up after secretly conducting nuclear radiation tests.The research on wishing has also come to a conclusion: it is limited to small miracles on individuals, involving health, karma, fate, etc. Things tend to develop in a good direction in the normal definition, do not harm anyone, and do not interfere with the laws of nature.

The big country announced this conclusion, and signed an agreement with the Venier country, contracted most of the nearby land and all the infrastructure, and opened an airport directly to the town.

Minghe Town has started a fast track of rapid development, and all the townspeople have benefited from it. The income from land appreciation alone is enough to allow the whole family to live a lifetime without any worries.

The place where the portrait is located becomes the new center of the town, and the whole town expands outwards around the portrait.The soil dug away has been filled with new soil, and the old ones have entered the research institute; the once humble shack has become a magnificent temple, and outside the temple is a fragrant lotus pond; the flat fields are buried by exquisite marble. , Tall trees guard this piece of pure land like guards.

Countless people come to make a wish or visit every day. The people who really realize their wishes are very small in this huge base, but people still enjoy it and have a secret hope. Maybe I am the chosen one?

There are also devout believers who volunteer to guard here.Perhaps the purpose at the beginning was utilitarian, and devout faith should be able to receive divine grace, but after being devout, self-hypnotic people no longer care about whether miracles happen to them.

In this way, Minghe Town has become a world-renowned tourist destination. In recent years, some townspeople have publicly suggested that the name of the town be changed to Shen'en Town to thank and promote the grace of the gods.

And the story begins in this small town.
