Oeyama
The capital had become a “city of terror,” where demons proliferated.
Minamoto no Raiko asked a seer where the demons dwelled. The seer said,
“In the Oeyama mountain range, far to the north of the capital.”
Raiko and the Shitenno guardians went to Oeyama to attack the demons.
On the way, a god appeared and gave sacred sake (rice wine) to Raiko. The
god said that the sake was good for humans but poison for demons.
When they came to Oeyama, they met a weeping girl who was doing some laundry.
She had been kidnapped from the capital. The girl showed them to the demon’s
dwelling. Shutendoji was suspicious of his visitors. Raiko said that they
were traveling monks training in various mountains around Japan, and he
gave the sacred sake to Shutendoji.
After a feast and the sake, Raiko fought with the drunken demons and defeated
them. They returned to the capital in triumph.
This is the story of Oeyama. |
