In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the weekend.

Qin Heqing took the latest city rail back to his home in Shinza City, Saitama Prefecture-

It was a single-family villa with an area that was not too exaggerated, with two floors and eight rooms, although it was not as large as the dozen rooms in some wealthy mansions, but it was big enough for Qin Heqing, who was single and had no relatives and sisters to live with. Even if you change rooms a day and stay for a week, you can't finish it.

Therefore, in line with the idea of waste utilization, Qin Heqing transformed several of the rooms that were basically unusable into utility rooms, and various old objects moved back from the shrine warehouse were placed in a certain way to act as fillers inside.

However, most of them are ordinary things, or even items that are completely impossible to use, and only a few of them are ritual utensils that may be used during the New Year's Festival, and the family heritage that Qin Heqing turned out.

For example, a half-crippled, and the paper has been badly decayed, and even the name is vague and illegible.

It's a mess, and the devil knows what it's for.

There are also some Yin rune books and the like, which are biased towards the onmyoji to learn.

I really don't know why there are so many things in the home of a priest family that are not very related to the priest.

Could it be that the ancestor of the old Qin family still broke the four olds on the island country, overthrew the landlords and bureaucrats, and did the things of fighting the autumn wind?

It's not impossible to think about it.

After all, even this temple of his family is said to have been obtained from a certain daimyo in the Warring States period, and it is impossible to say that after a certain ancestor saw that his own background was not enough, and he could not enjoy the benefits of his own sect, he felt that his life was too 'hard' or something, so he thought about some onmyoji and the like.

After all, on the side of the island country, in terms of fame, power and influence, it is still the priest who is stronger. The so-called Onmyoji or something, in front of them is not enough to see at all, and they belong to inferior characters.

Even if there were transcendent beings such as Ampei Qingming back then, at most, they only separated the astronomy department from the priesthood and even the onmyoji system, and became the private domain of the Tuyumen family, and obtained a certain degree of status promotion, instead of leading the entire onmyoji system to completely overthrow the priest system and become an indispensable force in the Shinto system of the island country.

There's no way, the Onmyoji is so unacceptable. In comparison, even the shrine maidens are half a level higher than their rank.

Even, in many cases, the shrine maiden is a character who gives a hand to the onmyoji.

But that's just for ordinary shrine maidens, for the shrine maidens who become 'Zhu', Onmyoji can not move them, and may even be dominated by Zhu.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because Zhu is a character who can communicate with the gods, and a shrine maiden is a person who serves the gods and pleases the gods.

And what about the priests?

The priest is the person who manages the shrine and takes care of the shrine's palace.

In terms of functions, the shrine maiden is a dancer, a musician, and even a servant of the body of Bonghyun, Zhu is a saint, and the priest is a logistics manager.

Of course, in the absence of a blessing, the priest is also responsible for communicating with the gods and believers, similar to the temple blessing that exists among the elders in China.

And this is just an ordinary priest, if it is replaced by a descendant of the gods, a priest who has achieved the achievements of a god like the emperor of the island country, then it will be a cow, and a proper son of the god will come, and no one in the society will dare to disobey!

In comparison, similar to the domestic feng shui master, Mr. Yin and Yang, fortune tellers and other onmyoji grades are too low, neither can connect with the gods, nor can they give blessings, they can only take people's money and help people eliminate disasters, at most it is to change Feng Shui, find tombs or something, proper foot merchants, in addition to being very knowledgeable, and do not need to be bound by so many rules, there is really nothing to envy.

Not to mention, from time to time, there will be some so-called sorcerer characters in their center who specialize in doing bad things. It's hard to be convinced.

Hmm, the topic is a little far away, and now the eyes are back to Qin Heqing.

Qin Heqing rested for a while, then left the house with Yue'er and went to the shrine located at No. 6 Dojo 1 Town, which was less than a street away from his house.

There was nothing on the way, and there were no moths, and Qin Heqing arrived at the shrine very smoothly.

Subsequently, a shrine covering a wide area came into view of Qin Heqing.

First of all, there is a large torii gate, which is made of rocks and has a grayish color, full of the vicissitudes of history.

Then there's the signboard, Inari Shrine......

Yes, Inari Shrine, not the Great Liquor Shrine, or the Komanwang Shrine or something like that, as for the reason? Quite simply, compared to Qin Shi Huang, Inari Shrine is more in line with the religious needs of modern island people. Therefore, even the shrine opened by a descendant of the Qin clan like him had to adapt to the changes of the times, and the shrine dedicated to Qin Shi Huang and the ancestors of the Qin clan was renamed Inari and enshrined to the god Inari.

Anyway, they are all gods made up by their old Qin family, and there is no need to dwell on a name for a long time, the key is the god of sacrifice, as long as the gods are still those gods.

So Qin Heqing, who had known about this situation for a long time, didn't have any ideas, and stepped into the shrine.

Then a spacious court emerged, and in front of it was a large hall dedicated to the gods, the door of the temple was closed, except for a box for worship, and a thick hemp rope was tied to one side, and one end of the rope was tied to the beam of the front porch of the temple, and a huge brass bell was hung from the beam, and when the rope was pulled, it would make a tinkling sound.

On one side is a side-mounted house, not large, only two-thirds the size of the main hall of the shrine, and half of the direction facing the shrine has been hollowed out to form a room similar to a sales table, with rows of shelves set up in it, which can be used to make some external blocks by selling amulets and helping people solve fortune-telling activities when they are scheduled to sacrifice days or when the township group holds big activities.

The sacred tree planted in the shrine is on the opposite side of the commodity house, and because it is old enough, it has grown into a towering tree, and the body of the tree is so wide that no one wants to hug it completely.

There is a hand cleaning platform at the entrance to the shrine, and the water source used to clean hands and mouths comes from the underground spring, and I don't know how much work it took the ancestors of the Qin family to build the shrine to complete all this.

After that, there is a road, leading to the spiritual place more than ten meters away, or the cemetery, where large or small stone tombstones stand in the cemetery for the descendants of the vicinity to come to worship and worship.

This is the sorrow of small shrines, and in order to make ends meet, they have to accept some businesses that are not accepted by ordinary shrines.

For example, it becomes a cemetery and is in charge of the town spirit.

Of course, some apportionment is not ruled out.

Before the Meiji Restoration, a large number of shrines served as neighborhood committees, managing not only population registration, death cancellations, but also the minds of the people under their rule, as well as the promotion of daimyo policies.

Anyway, it's beyond imagination!

This is another reason why the shrine is enshrined.

Otherwise, just a function of sacrificing to the gods, expect any shrine to be recognized? Don't think too pretty.
