Chapter 194: Activities
Eiji Fukuyama was informed by email on Friday night that the Sect would hold a founding celebration this Sunday. He felt a little embarrassed www.biquge.info that although the factory was in a state of semi-shutdown, the duty system had not been canceled, and this Sunday was his turn to be on duty.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked the foreman to help him transfer the shift - this is a bit risky, the staff is being laid off recently, and everyone is careful to pretend to be buried in hard work, for fear of losing their jobs, although there is nothing to be busy with - The disaster hit the factory almost devastatingly, this factory mainly produces electronic entertainment equipment, exports to dozens of countries, and now the supply of parts in the electronics industry is extremely tight, resulting in the entire factory semi-shutdown, I heard that the company and the management of the factory have gone to the east of Japan, which is the second largest supplier of parts in Japan, but so far there is no good news, I am afraid there is no harvest.
The thought of many export contracts that might not be completed on time made Eiji Fukuyama deeply worried: Won't he go bankrupt?
However, the shrine also gave him a very good impression, and he didn't want to miss the activities of the sect, especially if there was an event, there was a great chance that he could receive spiritual water, and he was starting to feel uncomfortable again in the past few days, and he was eager to have a drink, so he thought about it, and took a little risk to change the shift.
On Sunday, Eiji Fukuyama rushed to the shrine early in the morning with his wife and daughter.
As soon as they entered the shrine, a young man greeted them, tapped his left chest twice with his right fist, and led them aside with a smile, asking, "What size of clothes and shoes do you wear?"
Eiji Fukuyama had zero water: "Why do you ask this?"
The young man smiled and said, "The sect wants to distribute uniforms. He saw Eiji Fukuyama with a puzzled look on his face, "There is a dress code for clan activities, and you will have to wear a uniform for future activities...... This is a sect benefit, free of charge. ”
Eiji Fukuyama looked at the young man hesitantly, and saw that he was dressed in black, with a black jacket, black pants, and even black loafers, and a round badge on his chest, on which the two white characters "Supreme" were printed, which was very eye-catching.
Clans are common in Japan, but Eiji Fukuyama swears he has never heard of clans issuing uniforms.
Zhiori hugged Xiangcheng and whispered beside him, "This ...... Is it really free?"
She also felt that this matter was a little strange, could it be a trap?
The young man affirmed, "This lady, it's free, there won't be any charge." Then he looked at Eiji Fukuyama again and emphasized, "Sir, it's not necessary, but almost everyone wears it like this!"
"Do you all wear it like this?" Eiji Fukuyama didn't really want to change it, it was too troublesome, he thought that the whole family should dress properly, but if everyone wore it......
In Japan, there is a word called "reading the air", abbreviated as "KY", also known as KY rule, which roughly means to judge the situation according to the surrounding atmosphere, and make one's words and deeds conform to the interests of others, which is a herd behavior.
Japan itself is a country that emphasizes collectivism and conformity, and if you act and speak according to your own temperament, you are often seen as "unable to read the air."
For example, if a group of colleagues get off work and go to drink, everyone will definitely order the same first drink, whether you want to drink this kind of wine or not, it must be like this! If eight people, seven people order beer, and one person orders sake, the one who orders sake will be regarded as "unable to read the air", and will be unsociable, and a team breaker...... The point is that none of the other seven will remind him, but rejection often begins with this glass of wine.
If everyone wore uniforms, then Eiji Fukuyama felt that he couldn't be unsociable and couldn't read the air, so he reported the size of the family's clothes in detail.
Soon, the young man brought clothes, two sets per person, and hugged the little child Xiangcheng!
Koori stepped forward to thank him and took it, took it in his hand and felt the fabric, and unexpectedly found that the fabric seemed to be good. The young man completed the task, tapped his left chest twice with his right fist, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, madam, we are a collective, serve each other!"
Then, pointing in the direction of the locker room, he went back to the others.
Eiji Fukuyama led the family towards the locker room, but he was still puzzled, this is really a strange shrine and a strange clan!
Soon, the family changed into black, looked at each other, and thought it was a little funny, and Koori put the "Supreme" badge on the father and daughter, and then pinned it to her chest.
However, as they entered the widened square, the people who came and went around them were all dressed in black, and they all wore badges on their chests, and occasionally one or two people in civilian clothes also looked embarrassed, and they were glad that they did not feel that this black was ugly.
Many of the people who came and went greeted each other with a strange etiquette - two blows on the left chest with a fist.
Fukuyama Eiji felt that these people might be members of the clan, he looked carefully, they were all young men, and he looked up in the direction of the mountainside, where he could occasionally see a half-witch, thinking that the shrine gave up the foot of the mountain to the clan as a place for activities, and the shrine maidens retreated halfway up the mountainside.
However, he didn't look at it after a few glances, and instead went to receive the spiritual water benefits of the sect members first. He was standing in line there when he suddenly heard his daughter next to him shouting, "Little sister!"
Eiji Fukuyama was surprised to see a little girl about ten years old, also dressed in black, entering the square surrounded by a group of people.
The ten-year-old girl's face was tense and serious, and although she looked cute, there was a faint pressure on her small body, and there was a feeling of not being angry and arrogant - it felt very strange and uncoordinated, but no one dared to laugh, and even those who stood in her way involuntarily got out of the way.
However, Eiji Fukuyama is very familiar with this little girl, but he can't remember where he has seen it for a while.
Curious, he asked the others, "Who is this kid?"
The others didn't speak, but his daughter shouted first: "Dad, it's the young lady carved in stone!"
This reminder,Fukuyama Eijima remembered,The two stone sculptures under the torii gate are based on this little girl.,I originally thought it was a monster in a mythical story.,I didn't expect it to be a living person.。
At this time, a staff member of the clan next to him replied, "That's Lord Gui, the first envoy under the Supreme God Venerable, the leader of our sect. ”
The leader of this sect is a ten-year-old child?
Before Eiji Fukuyama could react from his shock, he saw that Katsura-sama had already ascended to the high platform on the side of the square.
The high platform was specially built for today's ceremony, and there was a small podium with a microphone on it, but to everyone's surprise in the square...... Lord Gui walked to the back of the podium, only half of his head was exposed.
Looking at this scene, Sawako's face turned blue under the high platform. When the regiment was first established, there was a shortage of experienced and capable cadres, and as a result, none of them were able to make this kind of oolong without paying attention to it -- these staff members were all recruited from nearby towns, and they were only roughly trained, and few of them were used.
Sawako repeatedly instructed her subordinates to quickly take a box and put it under the feet of Lord Katsura, but before her subordinates could find the box, there was already a loud noise on the high platform - the lower part of the podium was directly shattered and turned into debris in the sky, and the upper part flew far away to the mountainside, and it took half a minute before a muffled sound came.
The wires inside the podium were also torn off, electric sparks were flying, and the makeshift platform was shaking violently and crumbling.
In an instant, there was no sound in the square at all, and there was silence, and everyone looked at Lord Gui standing there on the high platform in a daze...... But now everyone can see her face.
Maruko kicked the podium off, then scanned the entire square and shouted, "Come to me!"
There was no microphone amplification, but her voice still spread throughout the square, but everyone was in a daze, and not a single one moved.
It was Sawako who reacted first, and rushed to the foot of the high platform with a rolling belt to set an example for everyone. Subsequently, more and more people moved, and finally all the people discharged a twisted and crooked phalanx under the high platform.
Maruko was slightly satisfied, and knocked his left chest twice, and everyone in the audience only felt that they heard two muffled thunders - everyone was alert, it didn't look like a special effect just now, and it didn't look like a dubbing now, this little girl is not simple......
Many people didn't understand what the action of Maruko meant, but it was Sawako who took the lead and knocked on his left chest to return the salute, and suddenly more and more people imitated it, and there was a "dong dong" sound.
Maruko cleared her throat and looked at the more than 2,000 people in the audience, her face was not unusual-the benefits of being born with gall and fat, and she was not afraid of the scene--she took the manuscript in her hand, glanced at it a few times, and threw it aside directly.
In the audience, Sawako almost vomited blood, she wrote for five hours, but it turned into waste paper in less than five minutes after handing over the balls.
Maruko was extremely imposing, and his voice was also very clear: "Everyone, you are all members of the Supreme Sect of the Imperial God Venerable, and I am assigned by Lord Yu Shen Venerable to lead you, I am Katsura Maruko, please take care of me!"
After bowing, Maruko continued, "Our sect only has two requirements!, first, to be loyal to Lord Goshin-zun, and Lord Goshin will also bless every believer in him!"
With the shouting of the pills, the concentration of the surrounding aura instantly increased several times, bringing some physical stimulation to the believers, positive stimulation, "Maybe many of you present have multiple beliefs, but as time goes by, you will find that the only true god in this world is Lord God-Zun...... His divine grace is like the sea, and his divine power is like hell!"
Maruko originally hoped that Li Ruhai would make a few small miracles to cooperate, but he was stopped by Zuo Hezi, so the impact would be too great, and I am afraid that the government would do it if it didn't want to.
Therefore, she will not dwell on this aspect too much, and there will be opportunities in the future.
She also said, "Lord Gojinzun wants to build an ideal society where everyone can be happy, and our clan is the first step! There are all kinds of difficulties in the world, but the power of one person is very limited, and we need more strength to overcome these difficulties!"
With Maruko's words, the staff of the sect entered the congregation and began to distribute the rules of the High Council.
"Where does this strength come from? With collective strength! We must have discipline, use discipline to unite everyone, gather the strength of all people, learn from each other's strong points, and help each other overcome difficulties! This is the second purpose of our Supreme Divine Association -- unity and mutual assistance!"
Everyone in the audience heard the ball finish speaking, and no one felt that there was something wrong and applauded.
Eiji Fukuyama also took a copy of the code, and when he opened it, he saw that the discipline requirements were still quite strict, from dressing to wearing accessories, from salutes to greetings, many of them had requirements...... But he didn't object, he didn't ask for much in life, he just participated in the activities of the sect.
What's more, everyone around is dressed the same, and it feels good to stand in a crowd like this, but just listening to those words seems to have become strong and powerful.
He also applauded vigorously, only to hear the balls on the stage smile and say loudly: "Welcome everyone to join the collective!"
Maruko jumped off the high platform, and someone else went up to start arranging today's activities in detail, including collective prayers, collective meals, collective exchanges, and all other activities, all of which were activities that required neat and tidy queues.
Maruko smiled and watched all this go on peacefully, the same uniform, the same badge, the gradually neat queue, everyone began to get acquainted with each other, she was very satisfied - she wanted to brainwash these people, but she couldn't do it blatantly, she had to take it step by step, first let this group of people adapt to collective activities and abide by discipline, and then it was to enhance the collective superiority of these people, and make them feel glorious and comfortable in this collective.
Everything has to be done slowly, wash the first batch, the first batch will take the initiative to wash the second batch, the more you wash, the more you wash, it's good!
