Chapter 303: Hokkai Shrine
RB country, Maruyama, Hokkaido, Hokkaido shrine main hall.
The main hall is very vast, there are 100 meters of distance between the front and back, the ground is paved with neat bluestone slabs and bricks, and the thick sandalwood pillars should have hundreds of years, and the spread makes the hall full of fragrance.
And all kinds of shrines, incense burners, murals, etc., are ancient and exquisite.
The shrine is surrounded by four pillars dressed in strange shapes, or hideous, or strange statues of ghosts and gods.
And the statues of the gods are all covered with black cloth, which is very mysterious.
Chiyomiko was tied to a thick sacred pillar, and her long black hair hung down to cover her pale face.
On a moon-white kimono, it was already bloodstained.
"My good junior sister, how did you end up in such a field?"
"It's really cute, this innocent eyes, beautiful face, still so sassy, still so good at seducing men!"
A woman who was also dressed in a white kimono and had a flamboyant and charming appearance stood in front of Miko and stared at the latter's cold jade face.
"Why, you still think you're the high-ranking Chiyo family?"
"How dare you stare at me like that?"
"Smack!"
A heavy slap hit Chiyomiko on the cheek, and the foxy woman lifted the latter's chin, and her face flashed with deep jealousy and violence.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day!"
"Why! Why does everyone like you!"
"Master likes you, General likes you, everyone cherishes you!"
"And for countless moments, I can only hide in your shadows, watching you rise above you. ”
"I'm so unwilling, my heart hurts!"
The foxy woman's face was distorted, and she shouted sharply, venting the resentment and jealousy that had accumulated in her heart for many years.
"Well, now the retribution is coming, and I have finally waited for this day. ”
The foxy woman laughed triumphantly.
"It's just one thing, I don't understand, you don't do it with a good general concubine. ”
"Why did you go to be a Chinese man's maid, why are you so cheap!"
The fox woman asked puzzled.
"Senior sister, you don't understand, my master is a man who stands up to the sky. ”
"He loves me, he respects me, and although he is a master and servant, he loves people even more. ”
"And in our country, even if you are a princess or princess, you are still a puppet in the hands of men, at the mercy of you!"
"Don't talk about the general's concubine, even if you give me the whole world, I'd rather not want to, but be with the master!"
Chiyomiko raised her head and looked into the distance, her eyes revealing sweetness and nostalgia.
"It's ridiculous! Having said all that, what about your heavenly master?"
"Why didn't I come to save you?"
Seeing Chiyomiko's expression full of happiness, the foxy woman showed a hint of jealousy in her eyes, but then asked with a sneer.
"He's coming, he's coming!"
The inner hall of the shrine, "Ryunosuke Homune, thank you for coming to protect the Dharma for the ceremony." ”
In the center, a middle-aged bearded man wearing the robe of the Onmyoji priest bowed slightly to a middle-aged monk in a monk's robe on the other side, with a face like a crown of jade.
The middle-aged monk, that is, the Pure Land Lotus Sect, the Red Dragon Sect.
His hands were folded, his eyes lowered, and he returned the salute.
"Kamakura Divine Lord, thank you for your courtesy. ”
"Since ancient times, gods and Buddhas have not been separated, gods are Buddhas, and all gods are the protectors of my Buddha. ”
"It is also appropriate for the sect to come to protect the Dharma for the sacrificial ceremony. ”
Ryunosuke bowed his head and saluted again, and said slowly.
Hmph, the mustache was stunned, and he snorted coldly undetectably.
Shinto got its name from the fact that the shrine is the main place of worship and the center of religious activities. Because of the emphasis on the sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth and the ancestral gods, it is also called the sacrifice of Shinto. Worship the emperor's ancestral god Amaterasu, and advocate the unity of the god and the emperor and the unity of sacrifice and government.
However, before the Restoration, Shintoism did not have a strict doctrinal system and complete organization, and for a time it became a vassal of Buddhism, and sometimes the gods of Toei were recognized as the protector gods of Buddhism.
In modern RB countries, in the minds of ordinary people, most people still believe that gods and Buddhas are not separated, and many shrines are simply built in temples.
However, within Shinto, there are pro-Buddhist and anti-Buddhist sects.
Opposing views for hundreds of years have yielded no results.
Ryunosuke said grandly at this time that the Shinto gods are the protectors of the Buddha, and this tone made the Kamakura god very uncomfortable.
But Ryunosuke is the protector mage given by His Majesty, and although he is uncomfortable in his heart, he can't show it on his face.
"According to the tip, that person has destroyed the Chiyo family. ”
"Maybe they're coming here. ”
The Kamakura god turned his words and looked into the distance.
"Huaxia Xiao'er dared to break into my country alone, and he was bold. ”
"Even if he doesn't come, Benzong will go to Huaxia in person and take his dog's life. ”
Ryunosuke's jade-like face was glossy with a hint of hideousness.
"Even if he comes now, it's too late, the auspicious time has arrived!"
The Kamakura Divine Lord stood up and walked into the main hall, and the foxy woman saw the Divine Lord come in, and bowed down and stepped aside.
"Miko, you've really disappointed your teacher. Kamakura Divine Lord stepped forward, looked at Chiyomiko who was tied to the god pillar, and said slowly.
He reached out to touch Miko's cheek, but the latter turned his head away.
"You are confused, you are noble, you don't want to have a good future, you have to betray your family and country, and you recognize a Chinese boy as your master. ”
"That kid, what kind of ** soup did you pour you?"
"It's come to this, and it's too late for you to regret it. ”
Kamakura Divine Lord lowered his hand and shook his head, puzzled.
"Master, this is the last time I call you Master. ”
"The female disciples under your seat were either taken as playthings by yourself or given by you to high-ranking officials and dignitaries. ”
"Although I am a young lady of the Chiyo family, in the eyes of the men of this family and this country, I am just a high-level plaything. ”
"But what I received from my master was true love, real solace in my soul. ”
"I never regret it!"
Chiyomiko said resolutely.
"Hmph, okay, you can sacrifice it to the Yaqi god as a sacrifice to devour!"
"It just so happens that you have a special physique, and the great gods will like it. ”
Kamakura Divine Lord, a hint of cruelty on his face.
"The Sacrifice Ceremony, Begin!"
A number of onmyoji dressed in robes rushed in, holding various magic weapons, rattles, chimes and so on.
As the incense candles are lit, all kinds of ritual utensils jingle bells endlessly.
After a while, on the bluestone ground under Chiyomiko's feet, a circle of mysterious patterns automatically appeared, extending directly to the bottom of the statue in the center.
"Welcome to the great god of Yagi!"
With a wave of his hand, the Kamakura god waved his hand, and the black cloth covering the idol in the center flew away automatically.
A statue of a large snake with eight heads and eight tails, eight forks in the body, and a whole body covered with strange scales appeared in the main hall.
It is one of the ghosts and gods in the mythology of RB country, the Yaki Orochi!
