Chapter 39: The Legend of Atsuta Jingu

It's like glue, and it's said that the relationship between Yamada Masamura and Ah Shi is now tired of being together from morning to night, saying meaty words that make goosebumps fall all over the place, kissing the mouth from time to time, touching the chest or something, and not caring at all about Yu Yamato Duochohime walking around next to him. www.biquge.info But fortunately, there are only two of them in Yamada Masamura's mansion, otherwise this kind of thing will spread to Oda Nobunaga, and God knows what kind of anger the awakened sister will burst.

"Huh? Going to Atsuta Jingu? Yamada Masamura looked at Aichi with an excited face in confusion. Although he didn't have much feeling about festivals in his previous life, there weren't many festivals in this era, so he still remembered them more or less. But now this month, he doesn't remember what kind of festival was held at Atsuta Shrine.

"Sister Nong~ She and her brother are going to visit Amaterasu at Atsuta Shrine, how can you not go to such a fun thing?" Aichi pulled Yamada Masamura's arm and coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, just go, don't be like this~ Your head is stunned by you......" Yamada Masamura knocked Ashi's little head helplessly and muttered.

Atsuta Jingu, arguably the most famous shrine in Japan, at least for Yamada Masamura. Not because it's dedicated to Amaterasu, or because it's one of the three major shrines in Japan...... The reason why Yamada Masamura had heard of this shrine was only because Oda Nobunaga visited this shrine during the Battle of Barrel and Sasama.

Deep in the mountains and dense forests, a quaint shrine is located here. Unlike other ordinary shrines, Atsuta Jingu Shrine is dedicated to the Japanese Warrior, Gong Jinyuan, Amaterasu, Suzhan Naruson, and Miina Seeding. In addition, the legendary Celestial Cloud Sword, also known as the Kusanagi Sword, is also enshrined here. So, it's a pretty noble shrine.

It's just a pity that since the beginning of the legend, no one has seen this legendary sword that killed the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, and even its appearance has been handed down according to unreliable legends.

"Cut, I guess someone stole it, after all, it's one of the three legendary artifacts." Yamada Masamura listened to Achi's explanation, pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"Brother Overlord Maru, wait a minute, don't say such things, but you will be punished by the gods." Ah Shi persuaded in a panic, in this era, for the gods and Buddhas or something, it is quite superstitious. Belch...... Well, there's another guy who's the same as Yamada Masamura, who doesn't care about gods or anything.

"Humph! Punish? If these gods really existed, then the group of emperors, who are the descendants of the gods, would not be so down! Oda Nobunaga said disdainfully beside him.

"Master Ji!" Hearing this, Nohime glared at Oda Nobunaga viciously, and her jade-like little hand had already helped the soft flesh of her waist.

"Overlord Maru! Don't be disrespectful to the gods! Feeling the threat on his waist, Oda Nobunaga suddenly turned his head and scolded Yamada Masamura angrily. What a useless man......" Yamada Masamura muttered to Oda Nobunaga, who had lost his temperance because of fear of power, but after seeing the look in Nohime's eyes, he hurriedly threw aside the so-called temperance and sang loudly in praise of the gods.

"Humph! Wait a minute! Whoever messes around......" Nonghime snorted, tilting her head and warning the two of Yamada Masamura with a proud face, this appearance made Xiao Aichi look at it and called it a worship.

"Master Ji, why do you think your kid is a little sluggish?" Yamada Masamura looked at Nohime's proud back and muttered to Oda Nobunaga.

"You know what? It's called love! Got it? Oda Nobunaga pursed his lips and pulled out a banner that had been extremely useful for thousands of years.

Not to mention that Yamada Masamura and Oda Nobunaga were constantly discussing how to revitalize Fuzuna, and after a while, the four of them came to the door of Atsuta Jingu. At this time, a priest who looked to be 4 or 50 years old was already waiting there.

"Your Highness Oda, Mrs. Nohime, and two, please ...... here," the priest said respectfully. Although the profession of a priest is specifically responsible for serving the gods, in this theocratic society, the status is also higher than that of a local daimyo like Oda Nobunaga.

Well, after all, that's just a theoretical thing, and in fact, without the support of these daimyos, no shrine can be said to have enough to eat with all that incense money alone. It's like the high-ranking court ministers, even if they look down on local samurai and merchants, if they are willing to donate money, they will not hesitate to kneel and lick it.

Therefore, for Oda Nobunaga, the gold lord, the priest of Atsuta Shrine is very enthusiastic, constantly introducing the history of Atsuta Shrine and the awesomeness of worshipping the gods, I only hope that Oda Nobunaga will be willing to give them more money. You must know that since the beginning of the troubled times, Atsuta Jingu has hardly been renovated.

"Don't worry, Atsuta Jingu is one of the three major shrines since ancient times, and when I go back, I will have someone draw up a renovation plan, and this shrine is indeed a little dilapidated." Oda Nobunaga thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to the priest's request. Naturally, it won't be because of those gods, but although Oda Nobunaga disdains these gods, in this superstitious era, many things will be easy if there are people in these religions who help, although it takes a lot of money to renovate such shrines.

"That, is there really a Heavenly Cloud Sword enshrined here?" Seeing that this troublesome topic was finally over, Yamada Masamura hurriedly asked. He's really bored, Aichi was pulled over by Nohime to pay homage to those gods who don't match Yamada Masamura at all, and he doesn't have the slightest interest in the topic of renovating the shrine.

"Of course! Excalibur has been enshrined here for countless years! ”

"That'...... Can you open my eyes? "Yamada Masamura came to be interested, originally just asked casually, after all, no one has ever seen the real body of Tiancong Cloud Sword at all.

Seeing the hesitant look on the priest's face, Yamada Masamura hurriedly gave Oda Nobunaga a look.

"Lord Priest, I'd love to see that Excalibur too......"

Well, if the priest of Yamada Masamura can not care, then the priest of Oda Nobunaga must think carefully. No matter what era it is, it is always the uncle who pays the money.

After hesitating for a long time, the priest finally gritted his teeth and agreed. "Yes! However, His Royal Highness Oda, in the previous ugly words, the Tiancong Cloud Sword is a divine sword with its own consciousness, and it is not something that can be seen casually. Then he turned and led the way.

"Huh?" Oda Nobunaga and Yamada Masamura looked at each other suspiciously, obviously not knowing what he was talking about. "Own consciousness? Nima really thinks it's a divine sword? Yamada Masamura muttered unpleasantly in a voice that could only be heard by Oda Nobunaga. In his opinion, even if the Tiancong Cloud Sword really existed, it was just a weapon used by the ancients. And with the level of Japanese casting, that sword is probably still a bronze sword or even a stone sword.

How can this weapon arouse the interest of Yamada Masamura? He was only interested in the fame of the Tiancong Cloud Sword, another name of the Grass Pheasant Sword. After all, there are artifacts in various anime.

Turn left and right, come to a secret room, walk in, and see a simple box on an incense table in the house. The total length of the box is about 1 meter, and there are various incomprehensible patterns on it.

"The Excalibur is in a box, and if you want to watch it, you can only go alone, but only those who are destined to see it......" The priest whispered, pointing to the box.

"Huh? Have you ever seen that sword? Oda Nobunaga asked strangely.

Shaking his head, the priest said with a look of regret, "According to the records, no one has seen the true body of the Excalibur for hundreds of years. After speaking, seeing Oda Nobunaga's wonderful expression, he hurriedly added, "But I am willing to swear like Amaterasu that Excalibur is definitely in this box." ”

Pouting, Oda Nobunaga obviously didn't believe the words of the priest, but he had already sworn to Amaterasu, what else could he say? You can't say you can't believe your boring vows, can you? Oda Nobunaga dared to guarantee that if he said so, he would definitely become the enemy of all the shrines, and it would be difficult for this group of religious people to go crazy.

"Overlord Maru, do you still want to watch it?"

"Cut, since you're here, you have to take a look, maybe we're destined to be someone?" Yamada Masamura said casually, anyway, it's just to pass the boring time.

"Then I'll come first~" After speaking, Oda Nobunaga walked to the front.

Then, the priest also walked over, and after performing an incomprehensible ritual, he slowly opened the wooden box with his eyes closed.

"That's stupid...... Oda Nobunaga thought speechlessly, and then glanced into the box, which was naturally empty.

"Nothing~" Oda Nobunaga said indifferently.

"Haha~ Then look at me!" Yamada Masamura said with a laugh, and then walked over as well, but by this time, he had already begun to think about what he was going to eat for the night.

It's just that when he walked to the box, he glanced at it casually and was stunned for a moment. For he saw that in the box, a sword with a scabbard lay quietly.

About a meter in length, it is pitch black, and the scabbard is engraved with various strange patterns, as if it is a magic pattern in the magical world, or some kind of secret spell. And I don't know why, Yamada Masamura inexplicably felt a sense of danger faintly coming from this sword.

Looking at this sword strangely, Yamada Masamura couldn't tell where that inexplicable feeling came from, you must know that he had never felt this way since he crossed over.

However, Yamada Masamura had a very firm idea in his mind, and that was to get it. Well, how could Yamada Masamura, who had never disdained gods and demons, not want to get such a weird sword? Raising his head and glancing at the priest who was still tightly closed, a hint of an extremely lewd smile appeared on the corner of Yamada Masamura's mouth.
