Chapter 642: Five Shrines

The little golden toad quietly came out of the steel secret room of the lark warehouse, and according to the order of Li Shaoyang, the master, it drilled out of the ventilation hole at the back of the warehouse. The duckweed lark's perception is very strong, so the little golden toad only has one chance to sneak into the secret room, so it is very careful when leaving.

The golden crystal that Li Shaoyang took out also distracted the lark, and when Li Shaoyang withdrew from the warehouse, the little golden toad had been waiting for him for a long time.

Li Shaoyang left the port silently, he walked out of the city, and only stopped when he got out of the city of Nagoya. The little golden toad jumped on his shoulder, and Li Shaoyang asked, "How is it?" ”

The little golden toad muttered, "I sneaked into her secret room and rummaged through the treasures of the Blood Clan, most of them are useless things, but there is one book that is very interesting. ”

It spoke, spitting out a black book.

Li Shaoyang took the book, and as soon as he touched the cover, he sighed, the hemp on the cover ...... He used the identification technique to check, and sure enough, it was the same as he thought, it turned out to be the shroud, this mysterious shroud fragment, Li Shaoyang had already gotten a lot, and he also got one from Fiona, plus this piece, it was already four pieces.

He put away the fragments of the shroud and opened the black book, only to see that the title was a strange symbol that looked like it was written in cuneiform, which was said to be the mature script of the Sumerian civilization system, the oldest civilization on earth.

Li Shaoyang began to frown, but the little golden toad smiled: "It turned out to be the text of the Wu clan, after the battle of Kyushu, the Wu clan fled westward, this should be what they left behind." ”

Witches? Li Shaoyang was surprised: "But this is obviously the treasure of the blood clan!" ”

Xiao Jin Toad said nonchalantly: "That's not simple, the so-called blood clan you are talking about must be the Wu clan who retreated after the Battle of Kyushu, even if it is not, it has a lot to do with the Wu clan." ”

Xiao Jin Toad's explanation made Li Shaoyang's heart move: "The battle of Kyushu you are talking about, is it the second divine war of the god clan?" ”

Xiao Jin Toad nodded and said: "That divine war spread all over the nine tribes, that is, Kyushu, among which the Wu clan was the largest tribe under Chi You, but they were defeated, so they fled to the source of the Yellow River, and then crossed the cold mountains to the west, and some people should have entered the two river basins." ”

Xiao Jin Toad analyzed it like this, which made Li Shaoyang grasp a little inspiration: "It is really possible to say this, the Sumerian civilization and the ancient Egyptian civilization in the two river basins are the two oldest civilizations in the world, and the textbooks say that these two civilizations directly led to the emergence of the ancient Greek civilization......"

Speaking of which, Li Shaoyang is even more sure: "The source of European civilization is the ancient Greek civilization, and the source of the blood clan was first opened in ancient Egypt, all of which shows the relationship between the Wu clan and the blood clan." He pointed to the black book and asked, "Do you know the language of the Wu people, what kind of book is this?" ”

The little golden toad muttered: "These witch talismans are not words, they have no specific meaning, if you have to explain them, they can be called the Book of Four Nights." ”

"The Book of Four Nights", the name comes from the most powerful witchcraft of the ancient witch clan, which has been passed down several times, and is also known as the "Book of Nord" in the legends of the blood clan in Europe, which is defined as the book of fate of the blood clan, the book of legends! However, Xiao Jin Toad opened it and looked at it, thinking that this book was just a record of some of the Wu people's experiences and records after they fled from Middle-earth, especially the inheritance of the Wu people.

Li Shaoyang listened for a while, and couldn't help patting his thigh: "You are right, for the blood clan, the source of the bloodline is the core power, this book has no other use, but it records the entire Wu clan, that is, the genealogy of the blood clan." You just said Cain. That's the legendary first ancestor of the Bloodline, and Lilith is also the ancestor. ”

Xiao Jin Toad interrupted him: "I'm talking about the Wu Clan, not the Blood Clan, the so-called Blood Clan you described is too weak in terms of ability, and it can't be compared with the original Wu Clan." ”

At this time, Li Shaoyang had already walked to Kansai Station in Nagoya, where the Toei Shinkansen passed, but it was located far away in the suburbs, and on both sides of the railway line, you can still see the original Showa era license plates. After waiting here for a while, Li Shaoyang got on the JR Shinkansen train, which was unexpectedly very crowded.

According to Li Shaoyang's understanding of Dongying's customs, although it is the peak tourist season at this time, why are there so many monks in the carriage......

He finally found a place to stand, surrounded by not only monks, but also many people dressed as priests, who looked like they were going to Kyoto to participate in some kind of event.

Now that the festival of the Bon Festival has passed, the blessing of mid-autumn has not yet arrived, and Li Shaoyang chatted with a monk beside him. The monks of Dongying are completely different from those of Huaguo, and even the school of "Zhenyan Shangzong", which has the strictest precepts, now gives its disciples enough freedom to practice.

Not only can the monks of Dongying move freely, eat meat and drink alcohol, and even get married and have children, and many temples and shrines have become private property, so these monks can also pass on the position of presiding to their sons...... But on another level, Dongying's Buddhism is the most tightly inherited organization.

Since the beginning of modern history, Dongei's reform of the country has penetrated into many detailed aspects, among which religion has been incorporated into the unified management, and Dongei's Buddhism has naturally merged with the emperor's Shintoism. In order to ensure the centripetal force of religion, the tradition of Dongying is that no matter what religion you believe in during your lifetime, you must believe in Buddhism after death.

Because of this, Dongying monks can be said to be one of the most enjoyable professions in the world, first of all, their income is not taxable. Secondly, the monks control more than 90% of the country's cemetery and zombie business, which is the most profitable industry. There are also monks who are said to earn on a per-minute basis. The coolest part. They can "eat meat and bring their wives", that is, they are not taboo in eating meat, and they can take their wives to practice!

Li Shaoyang and the monk only chatted for a few words and understood, it turned out that they were going to participate in the "Times Festival" in Heianjing.

Heian Kyoto was once the capital of Toei for 1,100 years and was the capital of the millennium, and if the modern Tokyo metropolitan area is the capital of Toei's modernization, then the soul of Toei people is the 1,000-year-old Heiankyo. Therefore, on October 22 every year, the "Times Festival" is held for several years to move the capital safely. It is also the biggest festival in Heian Kyoto.

The monk also introduced to Li Shaoyang: "After the Bon Festival, our major temples have received invitations from the Heiankyo Five Shrines to participate in the Times Festival. ”

Li Shaoyang calculated the time: "But today is just the beginning of September, why did you come so early." ”

The monk pursed his lips and smiled: "Well...... this" Before he could explain, there was a restless sound in the carriage in front of him.

There was a trembling feeling on the iron plates at the bottom of the carriage, and this Shinkansen train was still very old 400 series, also known as the Northern Yuzuru. Therefore, there is a compartment at the junction of the carriages, just like the interior of the old train in Huaguo, but the space is relatively wide, so Li Shaoyang saw several people in black walking in at a glance.

There are a total of four people in black, wearing seven black shirts specially made by the shrine staff, and they are still holding a black yin and yang fan in their hands, but their expressions are cold, and the four men in black are followed by two shrine female officials in white clothes and red dresses, they are holding a plate, and the plate is thick...... Brochure!

The black-clothed man in the lead picked up a brochure, handed it to a monk and bowed, "Please, our Nanxing Jade Ji Palace will ask you." ”

The man in black kept promoting the "Nanxing Yuji Palace", and Li Shaoyang also received a brochure, which not only wrote the introduction of the Nanxing Yuji Palace, but also wrote the propaganda slogan of this shrine, which was "Occupy the main position of the Southern Shrine and drive away the six shrines ruled by demons!" ”

The Liudao Shrine is the main shrine of the Liudao Temple, and Li Shaoyang immediately paid attention to it.

At this time, the monk next to him smiled at him: "Look at this, now you understand." We, the practitioners, rushed to Heian Kyoto ahead of time, and in addition to participating in the Jidai Festival, we also had to witness a war at the Heian Kyoto Shrine. It's really amazing, and this is the first time in hundreds of years that an alien shrine has challenged the five shrines of Heiankyo. ”

Under the hypnotization of Li Shaoyang's spiritual power, this monk reversed the quietness of his previous practice, and talked here eloquently, almost telling the inside story he knew.

It turns out that in Heian Castle, there are five of the most famous and authoritative shrines, and these are the five major shrines.

The five major shrines are Heian Jingu Shrine as the middle shrine, the eight-foot jade shrine in the east as Soryu, the Inari Taisha shrine in the west as the white tiger, the Kitano Tenman Shrine in the north as the Xuanwu, and the six provinces of the shrine in the south as the Suzaku. These five shrines are indeed the representatives of more than 1,000 shrines in Heian Kyoto, and the annual festival is held in the order of re-entering the central shrine from the north, east, west, and south.

The thing happened this year.,A shrine called "Nanxing Tamahime" suddenly appeared.,And the shrine was stationed not far from the Rokudo Shrine in the south.,Obviously, it's here to challenge the Rokudo Shrine.。 And the family of the Six Paths Shrine didn't react in time, and several ritual sacrifices were disrupted by the Nanxing Yuji Shrine. Now the prestige has fallen to the lowest.

The monk lowered his voice when he said this: "It is said that the priests of Nanxing Yuji Shrine found a monster in the main house of the Rokudo Shrine, so the citizens and believers around are also very nervous, in the past, the eldest son of the Rokudo Shrine family, the child called Rokudo Temple, was imprisoned because of the scandal, and there is no news until now......"

The priests of Nanxing Yuji Shrine were still handing out brochures from carriage to carriage, Li Shaoyang looked at the monks in the carriage, and couldn't help laughing, this matter suddenly became interesting.

The news that the Styx Stone appeared in the Six Shrines should be top secret, but the inside of the Xuanlong Society is not necessarily a monolith, this time Yehui sent himself to take the Styx Stone, but he didn't expect that there were these changes along the way, there must be a problem within the Xuanlong Society, and the news was sold.

There is also the Tokyo Spiritualist Society, the great rival of the Xuanlong Society, if they were laid out in Heian Kyoto in advance, then why didn't people like Yehui find out? Yehui let herself come to Heian Kyoto with an empty photo, I'm afraid it's not just for the trial.

After thinking about these things, Li Shaoyang's thoughts returned to the Six Dao Shrine. When he arrived at Karasuma Station in Heian Kyoto, he immediately found Okita Apricot and his daughter who came in advance, and in the hotel where Tian Xingli Ding, Li Shaoyang restored the disguise of the Rokudo Temple, and then changed his clothes, and then took Tian Xingli and the empty photo, and drove straight to the Rokudo Shrine.

The chaotic war between the five Shinto shrines in Heian Kyoto and the foreign shrines is about to be further complicated by his arrival.
