Chapter 139: The Divine Palace

Meiji Jingu Shrine is a shrine located in Yoyogi, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, and is an important shrine in the island country of Shinto, dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Dowager Shōken.

Located in the heart of Tokyo, Jingu covers an area of 70 hectares and is located close to the Shinjuku business district, occupying the entire area from Yoyogi to Harajuku, making it the largest green space in central Tokyo.

Emperor Meiji is very powerful, he did two major things in his life, one is to implement the Meiji Restoration, so that the island country embarked on the road of developed capitalism, and the other is foreign aggression, hit the neighbors of the Eastern Dynasty and Goryeo, and get back a lot of money to continue to develop the island country.

How to say it, anyway, this Meiji Emperor is really a hero to the island country, and of course he is an aggressor to the Koreans, this is the so-called A bear's paw, B no arsenic.

Yuan Ye Shingo is still a pure courtman in his heart, but he will not be involved here because of his previous hatred, after all, he is not qualified to forgive others for those martyrs, and he is not qualified to go to others again.

Emperor Meiji was a very good emperor to the people of the island country, and what was he doing at that time, he was engaged in a certain campaign.

After a certain war, his hometown paid Liang 2.4 billion taels of gold, which was enough for the whole island country to eat for three years, but the people of the island country did not squander this money, but used this money to strengthen education and build a lot of buildings.

Of course, all of these buildings were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake.

Haha, thinking of this, Sono Shingo's heart is much more comfortable.

Well, comfortable...

......

Harajuku Station on the JR Yamanote Line.

As soon as I got off the platform, I saw two exits: Takeshita Exit and Omotesando Exit.

Seeing that both entrances were crowded with people, Shingo Harano had a headache to see.

He hadn't been to this place before, how did he know where to go, and there were so many people on each side.

As if sensing his headache, Kitagawa Yukino took a closer look at the sign.

"Go this way." Kitagawa Yukino pointed to the sign for Omotesando.

Ai Fukuhara asked with a strange and puzzled look: "But there are so many people on both sides, how does Senior Sister know to go this way." ”

Kitagawa Yukino walked forward, and a voice came from the front: "Omotesando means the outer pilgrimage path on the way to the shrine, so this road is the closest road to Meiji Jingu. ”

"Has Yukino ever been here?"

"No, from the book."

Well, you read a lot, and you're all right.

Walking down this road, because it was the first time of the new year, there were a lot of people who came to visit, and Kitagawa Yukino and Ai Fukuhara had never come, and they were surprised by all this, and Shingo Harano had to go to the front to shield them from the crowd.

Walk along the main road to the right for two or three minutes, cross the Jingo Bridge, and come to the entrance of Meiji Jingu.

Standing at the entrance is the first torii gate of the shrine, which looks like a capital opening letter, with a vertical in the middle.

Seeing some people taking off their hats and bowing, Genno Shingo frowned and said, "It's obviously just a door, why are there still people bowing?" ”

Kitagawa Yukino glanced at him sideways and said: "That's the respect for the gods, generally only travelers don't bow, by the way, after you go in, you have to go on both sides, don't go in the middle." ”

Hearing her explain, Shingo Harano found that there was indeed no one walking in the middle of the main road inside, but instead crowded on the road on both sides and walked forward.

I asked again why I couldn't go in the middle, and the answer Yukino gave was that the middle path was reserved for the gods, and mortals could only go on both sides.

Yuan Ye Shingo was a little speechless, how could he break so many rules of the shrine.

I didn't have so much to do when I visited Sanqing and Rulai before, and my heart is spiritual, where did I get so many restrictive things.

But of course he wouldn't risk so many island countries to really go to the middle and follow the customs, although he didn't care much about it.

The road is paved with a layer of coarse sand called jade gravel, and when you step on it, it is soft and makes a rustling sound, as if someone will make people feel calm.

Anyway, Yuan Ye Shingo didn't feel it, he only felt that the crowd was about to be out of breath, and his back was a little sweaty in the big winter.

"Isn't it a little hot with Ai-chan, why don't you take off your coat, it shouldn't catch a cold." Seeing that Ai Fukuhara's bangs were a little wet, it should be sweating and wet, and Shigo Harano said with some concern.

Listening to his words of concern, Ai Fukuhara smiled sweetly: "Well, Zhengo should take it off too, why don't I take it up." ”

Of course Shingo Harano refused, just kidding, this is the time to show my manhood, if I don't even take a coat, I'll be done with everything.

He took off his coat first, then took Ai Fukuhara's coat and rolled it up on his arm.

Suddenly I felt that my waist was poked by someone, and when I turned my head, I saw Kitagawa Yukino also took off his coat and handed it over.

"Mine, take it."

Looking at her cute and foul face with a serious face, Yuan Ye subconsciously took it.

After taking it, he felt that something was wrong, didn't I propose to take the clothes to highlight my manhood? How did you become a clothes tool man now...

Ai Fukuhara's eyes flickered a few times when she saw this scene, but there was still nothing.

She felt that she was the one who intervened between the two of them, and then cut off Shingo's beard, so she had to show her generosity, but Yu Guang kept staring at the two of them.

Forget about the general thing, if it's something else...

First of all, I used a spoon to clean my hands and mouth next to the approach, and if it weren't for the fact that the water was flowing with a bamboo pipe, I really didn't want to wash it, and I don't know how many people have used this thing...

I followed most of the people and looked at the woods on the way, and after some passage, I finally came to the main hall.

There were so many people that you had to wait in line, and you had to wait about 10 minutes to enter the shrine.

"Won't Shingo worship it?"

Looking at the Harano Shingo looking around, there was no intention of worshipping the idol at all, Fukuhara was a little puzzled.

"Well, I don't believe much of that."

Stunned for a moment, Shingo Harano explained.

"Okay, then Shingo will wait for us on the side, my senior sister and I will be back soon."

Ai Fukuhara was not dissatisfied when she saw him refusing, she knew that Shingo Harano usually didn't believe in this, so she directly took Kitagawa Xue's hand and went inside.

He agreed, but he didn't expect Kitagawa Yukino to believe in these gods and ghosts, shouldn't a rational personality like her believe in science more.

Because the gods enshrined here in the island country are generally real people, that is, the so-called heroic spirits, not as virtual and ethereal as the ones on the other side, but in the words of that side, the gods here should be incense and enlightenment.

However, Yuan Ye Shingo has no interest in the heroic spirits here, and he only comes here as a cultural attraction.
