Chapter 168: I'm Okay
"I'm sleepy."
Ito Mashi yawned, patted his little face, and looked at the book in his hand with a strong spirit, it was only half past nine, and he shouldn't be sleepy.
The times are developing, and you can't just immerse yourself in the glory of your family's past.
The times are calling, Ma Shi, you have to use knowledge to create the future of the family.
"Where's my book?"
Ma Shigang lowered his head, but found that there were no ancient books in his hand.
And I don't know when I've put on the costume of a shrine maiden, and there are thick clouds under my feet.
Yes, thick clouds.
Ascension to heaven on your own?
No, with the physique of a young man, he would not die so easily, in the national physique report, it is normal for young people to stay up late.
In other words, is this the world after death?
There was no fear in Ito's heart, only curiosity, and she finally came into contact with the supernatural event she had always dreamed of.
She has no parents since she was a child, and has been raised by her grandfather, and she has heard a lot of strange rumors, and her psychological quality has become very "coarse".
"Isn't there a divine messenger to guide you?"
Ito Mashi calmly accepted her death, except for her worried grandfather, her only regret is that she can't witness more mysteries in the world, it's a pity, obviously there have been so many extraordinary events during this time.
"Kid." An ethereal, neither male nor female voice suddenly came out in the cloud world, and this voice seemed to come from another world in the distance, "What are you looking for?" ”
The sudden sound made Ito Mayo startled, the only one who can exist in this cloud world is the god Lord!
"Hello, little girl Mayo Ito." Mayo Ito's little face was still calm: "Isn't this the world after death, Lord Kamikai?" ”
"The afterlife?" The ethereal voice laughed, "How can this be the place for the dead, kid, what did you misunderstand, I'm not the god in charge of the afterlife." ”
"And who are you?" Ito Mashi is neither humble nor arrogant, this three points of humility and non-arrogance come from nature, and seven points come from her self-righteous understanding of the mystery.
"I'm a tree."
As soon as the name of the tree was spoken, the thick clouds suddenly lifted, and a towering tree suddenly appeared, running from the ground all the way to the sky, and there was no end in sight when it was raised, and white clouds and mist lingered around the trunk.
Ito, on the other hand, was being held up by a leaf.
She finally couldn't hold back the calm on her face, her mouth opened lightly, and it took a while to come back to her senses.
"Trees?"
Is there a deity called a tree?
"I am the tree that your Ito family has passed through for generations, and you should know mine."
Ito's head spun quickly, "You're Yoyogi...... Divine fir tree? ”
Next to Meiji Jingu is Yoyogi Park, which once had a towering fir tree that existed until the Edo shogunate, but then withered, was burned, and is now gone.
"The fir tree." The ethereal voice laughed, "If you call me that, think I'm the Divine Fir Tree." ”
Is this a supernatural event?
Ito Mashi didn't have Ye Gong's fear like a dragon at all, she was excited in her heart, but the expression on her face became more and more calm.
Looking at Ito Mayo's calmness, Mizuno was confused, did he find the wrong person, and Ito Shrine Maiden didn't look like she was interested in supernatural events.
The choice of Ito shrine maiden was also a choice made by Mizuno, who had seen Kiyomi Shijima and the little shrine maiden walking together in Meiji Jingu.
From the perspective of the functions of Frost Island, to be able to walk side by side with Frost Island, the little witch will definitely be able to come into contact with supernatural events, and can live in the vast courtyard next to the shrine.
"Lord Divine Fir Tree is looking for me, what's the matter?"
"With this state of mind, she is worthy of the girl I chose." The fir tree smiled cheerfully, "Child, as the heir of the Ito family, are you willing to stand up in this upcoming world of great controversy?" Shouldering the responsibility of the Ito family and protecting the world? ”
Protecting the world is a big talk, but it doesn't cost money to brag, and no one else can catch Mizuno's handle anyway.
Ito's breath became short, and she studied the classics of her family so that she could get in touch with the supernatural world.
After failing to exorcise a classmate at the age of fifteen, Ito Mashi once wondered if there was something wrong with the inheritance of magic in his family, and if his family was a family of liars.
But today she just wants to apologize to her ancestors and grandfather in the family.
It turned out that it wasn't the family that made a mistake, but the time had not yet come. This is not the time to come, and the Lord of the Divine Fir Tree will find him, and his hard work will pay off.
"I do!" Mashi Ito looked at the fir tree (Mizuno Sora) and said loudly.
…………
Priest Ito is almost 80 years old this year, but he looks very elegant on the outside.
In the quaint meeting room, Ito priest and the guest in front of him sit with each other, the other party is also a priest of a large shrine, and the Ito family has been intersecting for generations, and the two families are also related by marriage, although it is a night visit, but the other party also sent a request to visit yesterday, but unfortunately it is now using electric lights, if you talk at night, it can be more flavorful.
In front of the two of them was an elegant tea set, and a few wisps of tea were burned in the tea set.
This set of red tape can only be seen on television for ordinary people, but for people like Ito, who have been great priests for generations, they are born in the upper class of society, and only the upper class has the time and effort to study these "skills" that can reveal their status.
"Please."
"Please."
After being humble, the two picked up the tea, and after another non-nutritious compliment, the two got down to business.
"Ito-sama, you've heard about the Osaka Giant Buddha recently."
"I've heard a little."
The matter of the Osaka Giant Buddha can no longer be said to be a secret matter to ordinary people, and the Linghua wood scattered all over the place is iron-clad evidence, not to mention the upper-level figures like them, and the government also needs their identity as folklorists to give advice on the side, so who doesn't know it - the battle between Tamamo and the Bodhisattva.
"It's not optimistic." The priest groaned and continued, "After the Osaka Giant Buddha, the government's attitude towards the monks has become ambiguous, whether the monks have extraordinary power or not, even if the official next step is not to suppress us, it will affect us." ”
"Ugh."
Without further ado, both of them understood.
This kind of religious dispute does not matter to the owners of the small shrine, but the two of them are the leading figures of Shintoism, and they must have the foresight to discover the crisis from a high vantage point.
Eight million gods, can't you take with us faithful believers?
If you don't manifest your spirits, you can't let us learn the ancient tricks of using small tricks to pretend to be gods and ghosts after death, but now that science and technology have developed, the little tricks of fooling the world will not succeed at all, and no one can do it.
Just when the two upper-class people in the religious world were worried, Ito Mashi suddenly rushed to the meeting room.
"Grandpa!"
"I'm all right!!"
