Sakagami Sanchiko didn't expect Pei Ziyun to interrupt her words, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but seeing Pei Ziyun's serious face, he still lowered his head and said: "Hey, for our shrine, the most important job is to suppress evil ghosts. ”

Therefore, for a shrine, the samurai is the most important asset, and having a samurai who can kill evil spirits can make the shrine inherit and grow. ”

"The samurai have a very high status in the shrine, and even the heir of the shrine must be held by the samurai who slew the evil spirit. ”

"Samurai slay demons, and the relationship between samurai and demons is a bit complicated, and although a samurai can kill demons, they will also be chased by demons. ”

Speaking of which, she didn't think Pei Ziyun was too young, poured him a glass of sake, and said, "Yamada-kun, do you understand this?"

Pei Ziyun nodded silently: "I understand, you continue." ”

Not to mention the truth that if you stare into the abyss, you will be watched by the abyss, in fact, the front-line police and soldiers may themselves be unstable factors and need special attention and supervision.

"Hey, if you can understand, the deepest connection with evil spirits is the shrine and the blood reward inheritance, the former is the soil of the samurai, and the latter is the reward for killing the evil spirits. ”

"Yamada-kun, the shrine has 600 koku, and in fact the land ownership includes the entire mountain, and there are also offerings from the nearby town council, but the money is not very large. ”

Pei Ziyun nodded: "Offering!"

Before the Shinkawa shogunate, the power of Buddhism was twice that of Shinto, and after the Shinkawa shogunate, Shinto grew, Shinto grew, although it entered the modern era, and the separation of government and religion was realized, but with the grace, Shinto in turn doubled Buddhism.

In Toying, as soon as a child is born, it is traditional to go to a shrine to pray for blessings - the people believe in "geography", believing that people on every piece of land must go to the local shrine to ward off disasters and pray for blessings, which is the "753 Festival".

The same is true for other major events, for example, when a household is built, and after it is built, a shrine will come to drive away the disaster and pray for blessings, which has been matched with the construction company.

It's the same with getting married.

Only death does not belong to the shrine, because the traditional concept of Shinto believes that death and corpses are unclean, regardless of funeral, this is run by the temple.

Logically speaking, the basic expenses of the shrine are enough, but looking at the pomp and circumstance of the Kawa Shrine, this money is far from enough.

"Yamada-kun, it's not like we're going to put on a show at the Kawakawa Shrine, let's just take the matter of the Takamori family, if we don't have a team, we won't be able to deal with what happens after killing the demons. Sakagami Sanchiko seemed to see Pei Ziyun's thoughts, and said: "You don't want to be chased and bitten by the police and the people who don't know the truth, right? ”

Hearing this, Pei Ziyun nodded silently, thoughtfully, if this is the case, what happened makes sense, but he still frowned and asked a question: "What is the blood reward?"

"The blood reward is the reward for the samurai to solve problems and kill or exorcise evil spirits, and 1.5 billion yen is the reward of Shi Chengjun over the years, because it is obtained by killing evil ghosts, so it is blood reward. ”

"The blood reward and the evil ghost have a great karma, Shi Chengjun usually doesn't want to send it to Takamori Mako's mother and daughter, but he can't, which will directly involve Takamori Mako's mother and daughter in the evil ghost's revenge. Sakagami Michiko said softly: "Generally speaking, the Takamori mother and daughter will have a shrine to allocate funds from the believers, which is cleaner. ”

But Shi Chengjun has been self-exiled for some reason, so Gao Sen's mother and daughter have had a harder time over the years. ”

"That being the case, why did Shi Chengjun ask me to hand over 1.5 billion yen to Gao Sen's mother and daughter this time? If I hadn't killed the evil ghosts, Gao Sen's mother and daughter would probably have died!" Pei Ziyun asked as he tapped his fingers lightly on the floor.

"This should be at that time, Shi Chengjun was half deceived by evil ghosts. Sakagami Sanchiko squinted, thought about it carefully, and said with emotion: "Shi Chengjun missed Gao Sen's mother and daughter before he died, and the evil ghost distorted this thought, as long as Gao Sen's mother and daughter died, they could be together as a family." ”

"It's a common thing. ”

After saying this, both of them were silent for a while, and Pei Ziyun sighed: "Is it? It seems that it is not easy to be such a warrior." ”

"Yes, the shrine continues to train samurai, and samurai kill evil spirits, and when the samurai decline and are in decline, it is the best time for evil spirits to fight back. ”

Therefore, the shrine and the inheritance of the blood reward became the test method of the heir of the shrine, and only if the evil spirit was successfully killed could the shrine and the blood reward be inherited. ”

"Of course, this time, the two are separated - Yamada-kun, in fact, you are also entitled to half of the 1.5 billion yen. Sakagami Michiko glanced at it and said.

Pei Ziyun understood a little, Sakagami Sanchiko wanted to ask him if he had any thoughts about the "inheritance" left by Ishiwatari Makoto, but he really didn't have any ideas, and said: "If the blood reward is the reward for killing evil ghosts, isn't it natural for Ishiwatari to leave it to his wife and daughter?"

Sakagami Sanchiko smiled brightly, and she said, "If you say that, I'm relieved, the most dangerous thing about these two rituals is karma." ”

"Karma is related to evil ghosts, and the more evil ghosts you kill or come into contact with, the deeper the karma will be, and the more likely it will be that you will be hunted down by some powerful evil ghosts or even some unknown beings. ”

"The most famous thing is one thing, recorded in the collection of the Kangawa Shrine, in the history of the "white fox boy" Abe Qingming in his later years, because the karma was too deep, was besieged by several unknown strange beings, although he successfully escaped, but he was also seriously injured, which shows the horror of karma. ”

When Sakagami Sanchiko said this, his expression changed, and he smiled: "Yamada-kun, now you have passed the shrine inheritance test and become the young master of our Tsukawa Shrine. ”

As he spoke, Sakagami Sanchiko bowed respectfully and changed his name: "Yamada-like, you are now the young master of our Kangawa Shrine, if there is anything you want to know, I will definitely know everything." ”

Pei Ziyun didn't answer immediately, seeing that Pei Ziyun didn't move, as if he was in a trance, Sakagami Sanchiko said again: "If you can, please Yamada arrive at the Senkawa Shrine tomorrow, we will serve you at that time, inherit the Senkawa Shrine, and become a samurai." ”

Pei Ziyun looked at the system, and a plum quickly appeared in front of him, and quickly enlarged, changing into a data frame with a faint sense of light.

"Mission: To protect the samurai's wife and daughter (completed) out of tacit understanding. ”

Well, after solving this crisis, has this rescue mission been completed?

Pei Ziyun pressed it down, looked at it, and with the savings of the previous world, he already had six fate points, so he stood up, looked outside, and saw that the sky was already dark, and said to Sakagami Sanqianzi: "I didn't promise to be the heir of the Kawakawa Shrine." ”

"When I visited the Great Shogun History Museum, I thought that I must be like the Great General. ”

"I want to dominate the country with my wooden sword, that's my real dream. ”

Saying this, Pei Ziyun bowed, lowered his head, and said to Sakagami Sanchiko with a serious face: "I'm really sorry, I quit." ”

Shiraishi Gakukan Press

This is a relatively good publishing house in Toei, although it is not as good as Shueisha, but it is also somewhat famous, and its sales of various magazines are among the top of many publishing houses.

Especially in the past few years, the Shiraishi Gakukan Publishing House has made a big splash, and the "Tokyo Raiders" submitted by Akiyama Youichi and published by the Shiraishi Gakukan is about the story of Ryosuke Saone, who was born as a samurai, who arrived in Tokyo to study and find a job, as well as the story of struggle.

This reflects the code of conduct and philosophy of the Dongying samurai class, and discusses it at several levels such as righteousness, bravery, benevolence, courtesy, sincerity, reputation, loyalty, and self-denial, and analyzes it layer by layer, showing the spiritual power of the rise of Dongying in three dimensions.

The book was translated into Japanese, French, German, Russian, Polish, Norwegian, Bohemian, Hungarian and other languages in a short period of time.

It's just that in the past few years, the Baishi Academy Publishing House has been getting worse and worse year by year, and there have been no refreshing works, and it can only be barely supported by the previous accumulation of fame like ordinary publishing houses.

Nagano Narumi has been working for a few years, she works at the Shiraishi Academy Press, mainly responsible for the review of newcomers' manuscripts, and signing contracts with newcomer authors, although a little busy, but the salary is still very good, enough to make Nagano Narumi live comfortably, but in the past two years, with the decline in sales of the Shiraishi Academy, Nagano Narumi's treatment is not as good as before.

Nagano Narumi did not know the root cause of the decline in sales, so she had to work more seriously in the hope of discovering excellent authors and injecting new life into the Shiraishi Gakukan.

That morning, Nagano Narumi had just arrived at the publishing house when she heard someone shouting, "Nagano-san, the minister told you to go to the office!"

When Nagano Narumi heard this, she hurriedly put down her lunch box and headed for the office of the head of the publishing house.

Nagano opened the door and saw the minister, a man in his forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sipping tea, sitting on a chair and looking at the neatly laid out manuscripts on the table.

After Nagano Narumi entered the door, he bowed to the minister, who raised his head and put down the teacup and manuscript, and said to Nagano Narumi: "Your work has been hard. ”

"I read the manuscript, and the authors you have tapped this time have some potential. ”

"Especially Shinichi Yamada, he is indeed a pretty good newcomer author, and in terms of writing, there is a bit of the style of Akiyama Youichi. ”

"I'm not saying that Shinichi Yamada's style is similar to Akiyama's Youichi, but that taste. ”

Nagano Narumi didn't speak, just bowed, she actually felt the same way, and felt the potential to become a great writer.

"And it seems that Shinichi Yamada is very young, and we at Shiraishi Gakukan Publishing House have suffered many blows and difficulties, and each time we have relied on excellent authors to reinvigorate. ”

"It's the same now, if you want to be more stable, you have to keep having excellent authors to join, you go and get in touch with Yamada Shinichi, you have to be gentle, if he is not satisfied with the conditions, you can increase the weight appropriately, it is best to let him sign a contract with us directly!"

"Hey!" Nagano immediately agreed to the minister's request, which was originally Nagano's job.
