"Mushishi" is an anime that is both healing and depressing. The island story in the sixth episode of the first season is really thought-provoking.

Barren land breeds ignorance.

Living gods are enshrined on the island where survival is difficult.

The Living Goddess is a poor girl, she is the daughter of the island owner.

There is a parasitic insect in the nasal cavity. During the tide, it will make people wither and age like vegetation, and a fragrant powder will be emitted from the nasal cavity.

It is rumored on the island that the fragrant powder distributed by living gods can cure diseases.

A boy who was his childhood sweetheart took advantage of the only big tide that allowed him to leave the island to seek help from a doctor.

The doctor introduced the insect master silver ancient to treat the disease. Yin Gu was accidentally involved in this conspiracy.

The owner of the island used the help of living gods to make money, and he did not hesitate to turn his own daughter into a living god.

The boy said that living gods have been born in the island owner’s family for generations.

However, this is not so-called genetic, but man-made. They create living gods as puppets to deceive the villagers.

The owner of the island infected his daughter with worms in the name of giving her flowers and turned her into a so-called living fairy.

This kind of flower looks like morning glory and has a strong fragrance. It grows in dark cliff caves and breeds insects that live and die.

The greed of the island owner’s family gave birth to living gods.

They use living gods to deceive ignorant villagers, making them willing to immerse themselves in such a scam.

This is a kind of mental brainwashing. Even if you are too hungry to eat, you still have to offer food to the living gods. When you are sick, you don’t go to the doctor, but seek help from illusory living gods.

Every time, a large number of people are killed by ignorance.

When Yingu found a cure, he saved the girl who became a living god.

But the girl who returned to normal became uneasy. She was afraid of the passage of time, and even felt that it was better to live in ignorance as a living god.

When the boy and Yingu tried to destroy the bug hole that made everyone sick. In order to prevent her father from harming the boy, the girl told everyone the truth. Later her father was beaten to death by angry villagers.

The girl felt that she had harmed her father and chose to let the parasites take over. I lived like this in confusion for the rest of my life.

At this time of parasitism, Yin Gu was already at his wits' end.

Look, you can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

She is very pathetic, but she also has an element of asking for it.

She would rather live and die like a bug, wasting away her life.

Just like Yingu said, he cured most of the people suffering from this bad disease. But there are many people like girls who are willing to remain ignorant and do not accept reality.

They do not want to be rescued, and prefer to be immersed in illusion.

The boy may have seen the reality clearly, and he also chose to give up saving his childhood sweetheart and let her live in confusion like this.

Under Yin Gu’s suggestion, the boy led the villagers to seal the insect hole that would open with the tide.

The story ends here.

This barren island may be reborn if the scam is eliminated.

Yingu said they could choose to fish.

But as the boy said, there is only one day a month where it is safe to enter and leave the island.

So no fishermen exist. Their way of survival is to farm on barren land.

Nowadays, there is no need to contribute the meager harvest to the living gods. Maybe the lives of the villagers will be improved a lot.
