Izumo is a city in the northern part of Chugokuyama on the Japanese island of Honshu, belonging to Shimane Prefecture, and occupies an extremely important place in Japanese legends, where many gods and goddesses are said to live.

The most famous sight in Izumo is the Izumo Taisha Shrine, but there are many other ancient shrines that still retain many mythological stories and traditional worship of the gods. 1

The deity enshrined in Izumo Taisha is the main deity of a great country, known as the "No. 1 Spirit God in the Kingdom", and it is said that those who come here to worship can get a good marriage, so many good men and women come here every year to worship.

Of course, what makes Izumo special is a wonderful tradition in Japanese mythology – Kannatsuki.

Legend has it that every year in October, 8 million gods from all over the country gather in Izumo for a divine ceremony, so there are no gods in all shrines in Japan, except for the gods of Izumo Taisha Shrine, which is one of the most important aspects of Japanese folklore and mythology.

But Ye Yi and the others came to Izumo, but it was not in October, when there was no moon in the gods.

When she got off the Shinkansen, she looked up and saw that most of the ancient buildings in the distance were wrapped in a faint power of faith, and she couldn't help but sigh: "The condensation of thousands of years of faith is very impressive. ”

"It's Izumo Taisha after all."

Kyoko also sighed.

Izumo Taisha Shrine still occupies an important place in the lives of Japanese people, and a large number of good men and women come to worship at any time, as if as long as they worship here, all love and career will be smooth and smooth.

Although Ye Yi knew that this smoothness was ridiculous self-consolation.

"Shall we stop by Izumo Taisha Shrine?"

Ye Yi asked Kyoko.

Kyoko thought for a moment and said, "It's still not necessary, sooner or later, I want to love the relationship, and now I run to worship, I feel like a white lotus......"

"I didn't think you'd use such a ...... ......"

Ye Yi laughed.

Several other men laughed along.

Although they also felt that going to worship Izumo Taisha at this time might make the priests of Izumo Taisha feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

“…… In fact, those who believe in these also know that faith can make life simpler, but if you just ask faith to change your life, your life will definitely not be changed, after all, the gods also rely on their own efforts to become gods, and what it can only get through hard work, why should you take the initiative to give it to you because of your few pious visits? ”

Kyoko's self-deprecation made Ye Yi smile again and was a little helpless.

"You're right, the reality is true, but unfortunately most of them can't think about it, thinking that as long as you are pious enough when you visit the shrine, you can get it for nothing."

“…… Because getting something for nothing is the inferior nature of life. ”

After Kyoko finished laughing, a middle-aged woman dressed as a shrine maiden suddenly passed by.

"I didn't expect Kyoko-san to come to Izumo too," the woman said straight to the point, "May I ask who these are—"

"My friend," Kyoko said bluntly, "my most important friend." ”

"Friends do need to be respected," the woman smiled, "but Kyoko-sama's friends especially need to be respected. ”

“…… How do I feel that this woman is a little unkind to see you. ”

Ye Yi whispered to Kyoko - she couldn't understand Japanese, but she could understand the general meaning by sharing her thoughts with Teng Snake.

Kyoko knew that Ye Yi would ask this question, sighed, and said: "There are many contradictions between different shrine beliefs, that is, those young guys will naively think that the relationship between each shrine is like a family. ”

“…… I can probably imagine. ”

Ye Yi nodded in agreement.

In the eyes of the Japanese, the shrines scattered throughout the country are the residence of the gods who protect the land of Japan, but if you change the thinking of the Shuzhen realm, the shrines are large and small sects. The main shrine is a large sect, the small shrine is a small sect, and there are some scattered scattered scattered ones with only a few stones to worship.

It is impossible for the major sects in the cultivation realm to be friends forever, so the various shrines are also-

It's just a temporary mutual partnership.

"However, Izumo Taisha has been able to maintain its transcendent status for a long time, and it is believed that the power of the shrine maidens is also stronger than in ordinary places."

Ye Yi asked with a little interest, "When we come to Izumo Taisha this time, can we see their abilities?" ”

"I can't."

Kyoko mercilessly denied Ye Yi's hopes.

"The power of the Izumo Taisha Shrine does not depend on the shrine maidens to pass it on, so when my brother forcibly took the moon away, the relationship between the shrine maidens of Izumo Taisha and us became very delicate. They need the power of the moon to maintain the light of faith in Izumo Taisha, but they are afraid that the return of the moon will awaken the Yaki Orochi...... These women seem to be honest and simple, but in fact, they are ...... in their bones I don't want to say anything either......"

“…… I think you're already talking a lot of things, but you just can't say it directly. ”

Ye Yi hinted slightly.

Kyoko did not deny it.

The shrine maiden smiled unexpectedly.

"Miss Kyoko's friend is a wise man who sees through everything," said the shrine maiden, "and is even smarter and more talented than I expected." ”

"Everything that can be obtained by talent is the most precious thing in the world." Kyoko said, "It's because her talent is beyond the imagination of ordinary people that I must bring her to Izumo Taisha to see the world's biggest secret." ”

"The biggest secret?"

The corners of the shrine maiden's lips showed an ambiguous smile.

"Miss Kyoko, is she still suspicious of us?"

"Can't I doubt you?"

Kyoko asked the shrine maiden rhetorically: "You have turned lies into reality again and again, and you have turned reality into lies again and again, relying on the strength of Izumo Taisha, and even planning to rebel against the power of the state!" Your actions are fundamentally a denial of theocracy! ”

"Denial of theocracy?"

The shrine maiden's smile suddenly turned cold.

"Miss Kyoko, why do you think we are denying theocracy? Do you know what theocracy represents? Or - what right do you have to think that you are the spokesman of the theocracy! ”

"Just because I'm the body of the moon in this world," Kyoko said, "please don't forget that theocracy is a complex definition, but all the definitions of theocracy are interpreted by us, and the people like to hear me relegate you to ridiculous characters, no matter how much you don't like me." ”

“…… This is Izumo! ”

The shrine maiden repeated, as if such a repetition would make her feel the presence of power.

Kyoko just smiled and said, "What about Izumo?" Is the lord of the great country more noble than Amaterasu! The three noble gods are the highest level of faith in Japan, and the status of the great lord will always be under the three noble gods! Even, he's just the watchdog of the Yaki Orochi! ”

"What did you say!"
