Nanako was a little sullen and muttered, "I don't want those ......"

She suddenly felt a little upset, pouted, and walked down first. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Ruhai didn't understand a little, but he felt that the child's mood was really a June day, and it became so fast - he looked quite happy just now.

From below the worship hall, other roads began to appear leading to both sides of the mountain. Hisano Hayami introduced, "Lord Kami, the west side is reserved for the Regency and the Sue Shrine, and there is also a Kagura Hall. ”

The Shrine is a place for other gods who are on good terms with the main god.,It feels like a guest room.,And the last shrine is a place for the minor gods of the main shrine.,Neither shrine is there.,It's still an empty space.。

Kaguraden is a place where shrine maidens perform kagura dances to please the gods, and they also perform in front of worshippers during sacrifices, but now that shrine maidens have not yet been recruited, it is natural that Kagura dance is not to be talked about.

Li Ruhai saw that Nanako was just walking down sullenly, as if he was not interested, so he asked, "What is in the east?"

Hisano Hayami replied, "It's a social office, and there's a workshop for making ema, fortune, amulets, and mascots. ”

Painted horses are mostly a kind of pentagonal wooden plaques carved with a horse's head on it, with colored paintings on the back, and the more particular is the manual drawing, and the worse ones are printed - the painted on the back is believed to contain divine power, which can make wishes come true, and the front is generally written by the believers themselves with wishes, expectations for the future, etc., and then hung on the painted horses to pray for blessings,

Ema usually asks for it at the social office, and of course, it has to pay for it.

The reason why Ema is called Ema is because in ancient times, when worshipping the gods, horses would be killed and sacrificed, but now of course it is impossible - it is not enough to kill all the RB horses, so I carved a horse's head on the wooden plaque.

Fortune is the lottery, from the good luck to the great evil, generally placed in the worship hall for people to draw, the price is between 100 and 1,000 yen, after the lottery believers will hang the lot on the tree, so that the auspicious will come true, the evil will turn auspicious.

At present, the construction of the shrine has not even been completed, and these have not yet had time to be made.

It wasn't interesting over there, so Li Ruhai followed Nanako and continued to walk down the approach, and soon arrived at a pavilion.

Hayami Kuno saw that Nanako's interest was not high, and even the interest of the gods was greatly reduced, and he was a little anxious, so he pointed to the pavilion and asked, "Miss Qianxue, this is a sailor's house, the spring water is very cool, it can eliminate tiredness, do you want to clean your hands and refresh yourself?"

She hopes that Nanako can be more lively, so that the gods can also feel better.

The shrine's sailor house is very large, and it can be seen that Sakurako wants many people to come and pay homage to her boyfriend (to make a little more money). The top of the pavilion is made of bamboo, it looks very elegant, in the pavilion is a huge stone plate, there is a small fountain in the middle gushing out of the cool spring water, there are seven or eight wooden ladles floating in the stone plate, and the handle is placed on the edge of the stone plate.

The sailor's house is for believers to clean their hands and mouth before worshipping, and there is a set of quiet rituals - pick up the wooden ladle with the right hand, scoop the spring water, pour water slightly to wash the left hand, pour water to wash the right hand with the left hand, then pour the water into the left palm and slightly take it into the mouth to rinse the mouth, bow the head and spit out the water, then wash the left hand again, and finally put the wooden ladle upright, let the water flow through the handle of the ladle to clean the wooden ladle.

It's a hassle to say, but it's not complicated to do, and the ritual tends to add to the shrine's sense of sacredness, and the believers will be very respectful when performing the ceremony.

Nanako had no interest in using the sailor's house, and she looked around, a little strange.

Hisano Hayami saw it and asked with a smile, "Is Miss Chiyuki looking for torii or ema hang?" Ah, I'm sorry...... Miss Chiyuki is thinking that this place is empty, isn't it? The torii gate hasn't been erected yet...... Does Chiyuki remember the torii?"

Nanako hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

Hisano Hayami kindly helped her recall: "The torii gate is the most iconic building of the shrine, as long as you see the torii, there will inevitably be a shrine - the torii gate is the entrance to the realm of the gods, and stepping into the torii gate is entering the world of the gods." Remember, there's no one in RB who doesn't know torii. ”

She bowed her head again and apologized to Li Ruhai: "Lord Kami, originally the torii was erected, but Lord Gui was not satisfied and thought that he was not worthy of you, so he went to remake it again, and it will be rebuilt soon." ”

The torii gate is a symbol of a shrine, and it is also the most important façade, Maruko wandered down and saw that the torii gate was half built, thinking that such a magnificent shrine how to make an ordinary torii, so he forced Kobayakawa Sakurako to find a construction company to change the design drawings, to change to a super-large one.

To put it bluntly, the torii gate is a wooden frame in the shape of an "open", and according to RB mythology and legend, Amaterasu, who was in charge of the sun in ancient times, hid in a cave because of something, and as a result, the sunlight disappeared. In order to make this guy come out again, people built a huge wooden frame, put a rooster on the wooden frame, and called the guy out again with the sound of the rooster crowing, and since then, this wooden frame has become a symbol of the gods.

Hearing what Hisano Hayami said, Li Ruhai pinched his brows, it sounded like the pills were mischievous - it didn't matter if he didn't help the family build, he felt that he was still dragging the progress of the project back.

Hisano Hayami asked again, "Lord Kami, the guardian beast here at torii has not yet been decided, do you have any instructions?"

Li Ruhai said strangely: "Haven't decided yet?"

He had an impression of the guardian beast, and Sakurako asked him, and when he said, "Sakurako must learn to make up her own mind," and sent Sakurako away, but that was a few days ago, so why hasn't he made up his mind now?

Hayami Hisano said with some embarrassment: "Originally, it was decided to make a stone lion, but Lord Katsura disagreed......"

The guardian beasts of the shrine are generally made of stone, and in addition to the side of the torii, there are many guards in other places, and there are various types, such as lions, foxes, toads, etc., and Sakurako felt that the lion was powerful and domineering, so she decided to use a stone lion.

Li Ruhai frowned, how can she feel that everything has the figure of the bear thing of the pill, can't she be honest for two days?

He casually asked, "What are the balls going to put on the table?"

Forget it, it's also a person who has shed blood for himself, if the request is not outrageous, then it is okay to listen to her, and it is not an important thing, just an ornament, do you really expect these guardian beasts to resist the enemy?

Hayami Hisano bowed his head and said, "Lord Gui means to use ...... Arctic fox. "Hisashi's voice is even tougher," Katsura-sama meant by the way she wore a white fox mask. ”

After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Li Ruhai would agree, so she hurriedly added: "Lord God, the white fox is a symbol of the Inari God, and many people have the impression that the white fox is equal to the Inari God. ”

As she spoke, she saw that the gods had doubts on her face, so she explained in more detail—

There are more than 80,000 RB shrines, of which at least 30,000 are Inari gods - the gods can open branches, and they are scattered to different shrines to be worshipped in the method of "dividing the gods".

The Shinto deity system is very chaotic, and although there are many shrines, there are only a few that are well-known. During the Warring States period, Hachiman Shrine was the most worshipped as the god of war, and the daimyo in various places built Hachiman Shrine to pray for the blessing of the martial god for a smooth battle, and the Hachiman Shrine should still be the most popular, almost 40,000 in number.

At the end of the Warring States period and the beginning of the Edo period, RB was basically peaceful, commercial trade flourished, and Inari as the god of commerce began to be widely worshipped, such as the main shrine of Inari Shinto in Kyoto, Fushimi Inari Shrine, which has a thousand red torii gates donated by believers, which is very spectacular.

The god of Inari is not considered a pure RB local god, in the sixth century A.D. when Buddhism was introduced to RB, RB's native natural beliefs and Buddhist systems were integrated with each other, that is, the gods and Buddhas were confused, in which RB's worship of the land and Buddhism's Ranari Ni Tian were mixed together, and became the Inari god system in charge of harvest and commerce - the characteristics of polytheism, there is always a large number of younger brothers under a big guy, among which the white fox is also one, and the white fox was originally the messenger and mount of the Rana Nitian.

The Inari God has a wide influence and many believers, such as the Katsura Maruko family and Hayami Hisano are all believers in the Inari God, but RB has a population of more than 100 million and more than 200 million believers - many people believe in multiple religions at the same time, such as getting married in the shrine, burying the temple when they die, and entering the church on Sunday, they don't feel strange at all, and the adaptability is very high, just like Hayami Hisashi, she believes in the Inari God, but this does not prevent her from believing in Li Ruhai Dashen.

Even if she became the denominator of Li Ruhai Shrine, she would probably still have respect for the other gods, and would not regard them as heretical.

Of course, Li Ruhai is the god she prayed for when she was desperate, and her belief in Li Ruhai is the most fanatical, but she will not be hostile to other gods - RB's religious outlook is very unique, with more than 200,000 religious groups and more than 6,000 and 7,000 religious dissatisfaction, but they get along with each other peacefully, they don't get together, and there is basically no pagan hostility.

RB gods are really famous, branches are all over the country, there are tens of millions of believers, and the poor are really pitiful, not to mention a shrine, there is no one in the gods, not to mention the believers, this is a wild god, worse than a ghost.

Inari God is one of the most popular gods, the white fox is the incarnation of Inari God, many people regularly go to Inari Shrine to pray for blessings are not necessary, but afraid not to give the foxes to remember, now Maruko plans to make a fox head girl body stone statue as a guardian beast, I am afraid that the people will directly recognize this place as the new branch of Inari God.

Hayami Jiuno said these things intermittently, Li Ruhai didn't expect to open a shrine and pay attention to it, if Maruko wants to get two foxes to stand at the door, he must not be able to agree - inexplicably he got together with the god of Inari, Li Ruhai didn't know her.

He thought for a moment and ordered directly: "Maruko is a little nonsense, but she is also a member of this family, and she has made meritorious contributions and shed blood, and these innocuous requests are not easy to refuse her, so don't wear any fox masks, just let her stand at the door with her face exposed!"

Hayami Hisano was stunned and asked in disbelief, "What does the god mean to put the statue of Katsura-sama here to serve as a guardian...... Whoever you want?"

Li Ruhai laughed: "Yes, Maruko will be the guardian beast of our shrine in the future." ”

Hisano Hayami choked for a long time, but she didn't dare to refute the words of the gods, but she planned to go back and beg Sakurako Kobayakawa to see if she could persuade the gods to change her mind - living people act as guardian beasts, which is really a historical precedent!
