I have to say that Nobusumi Tsuda's intuitive perception is also very keen.

"This should be an illusion, Lord Shincheng just needs not to think cranky, so as not to mess up himself...... And be careful with what you say and do. ”

The corners of Niwa Nagahide's mouth twitched slightly, and he forced himself to comfort the other party in a calm and low voice, after all, the other party is also the younger brother of his own head of the family, and the previous conflict between the sister and brother has long been alleviated.

But although he said that, in fact, even the girl herself felt furious in her heart.

Because she had just entered the temple, she also felt that there seemed to be something in the darkness that was looking at herself indifferently without the slightest human understandable emotion, and even her soul was seen thoroughly, as if there was no secret to speak of.

She could have comforted herself by saying that it was the psychological pressure of the past two days in this enemy city, coupled with the inexplicable thoughts that had occurred two days ago, that had caused her to have delusions.

Nobusumi Tsuda, who prefers to die, suddenly said such a sentence, which made her mood that had just been difficult to stabilize fluctuate again in an instant.

Both of them feel the same way? Does that mean......

"No way, there will be no gods in this world!"

Shaking his head slightly, Niwa Nagahide gently bit his lower lip with his teeth, and warned himself again and again in his heart that there are no gods and Buddhas in this world.

Since there was no past, there is no such thing now, and the same should be true in the future!

Even Uesugi Kenshin, who once considered himself a god, is said to be the most powerful name of the Warring States because he was possessed by Bishamonten, and he will not be injured by any swords, guns, or iron cannons on the battlefield, but now he has long lost the power and mystery he once had-

Because any Ji Daimyo, as long as he is not particularly poorly qualified.

So if you want to be invulnerable with armed color domineering, it is a simple thing, compared to two years ago, any Ji military general is enough to be a real horse now.

If there really is someone in this world who deserves to be called a "god", then no matter who it is, they will only choose Imagawa Yoshimoto-

The only time the lord struck down was in the war three months earlier, when she had slashed through the entire city with a single sword, and almost single-handedly suppressed the chaos and turmoil of Kyoto.

Looking back on that scene at that time, even though it was a long time ago, Niwa Nagahide couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.

It was simply a sword that only the supreme god could have chopped, and no one or city or country in the world could resist it.

However, annexation and aggression between countries cannot be decided by individual force. As long as the Imagawa lord wanted a complete country, not a ruin after it had been destroyed, then it was impossible for her to resort to violent means.

It is precisely because of this that everyone can have the opportunity to continue to play with it, and they all know that it is not a divine power.

It's just that after her armed color domineering cultivation reached the superior realm, she was really too powerful. If other people can reach that level, then even with their fists, they will have the power to flatten the mountain.

In other words, it is possible for everyone to reach that level, but it is only the earliest achievement of the Imagawa Lord, so naturally it will not feel that it is an unattainable divine power.

……

……

"The form of this temple is so strange ......"

Using the corner of his eye to look at the surrounding environment, Niwa Nagahide and Tsuda Nobusumi walked to the altar without a trace, but their hearts were even more puzzled and puzzled.

Since ancient times, most of the expressions of Shinmei dojos in this country have been shrines and temples, so it is natural to feel the novelty of this Western-style shrine of the gods.

It's just that this doesn't actually have any special symbolic meaning, Mu Xiu just thinks that a temple or shrine appears in the current steampunk city, and the painting style seems to be somewhat conflicting.

That's why he simply made a decision, so he built a Western-style temple -

It is basically made of immaculate white marble, and there are two bronze gates at the entrance, and the ceilings of the dome and portico are covered with gilded copper tiles, and the hall is wide and empty, without a single pillar.

There is a circular hole at the top of the dome, which is the only source of light in the entire temple.

However, this is not an absolute system, and when the doctrine and belief are completely spread, whether it is a temple, a temple, a shrine, an altar, a tablet, or something, it is just a form of expression.

Anyway, the region to which the faith spreads depends on the customs and habits of that region according to the local conditions.

It's just that for now, this kind of magnificent temple is still very curious, and to be honest, many people are actually attracted by this never-before-seen building - not a temple or a shrine, they are really a little curious, what kind of deity is this ** worshipped.

In addition, during this time, the Imagawa family has been sparing no effort to spread new beliefs, and outsiders can't help but enter the temple, whether it is a merchant, a poor person, or a nobleman, there is no limit, so naturally some people want to go and see it.

Niwa Nagahide also seized this opportunity not to be suspected, so he came over with Tsuda Nobusumi.

It's just—

The statue of the god in the shrine was a little unexpected, it was a statue of a god in the shape of a "boy", the whole body was cast from gold, but it was as clear as glass, as if every inch of the body had a divine glow in the refraction and flow.

With an indifferent expression, he was holding a shining golden sword in one hand and a white horse carrying the sun in the other.

This is all the mythological images, and the most prominent mythological features of the "god of war" and "god of the sun" can be expressed, but it is difficult to connect with other fields if they are not read together with the teachings.

It's just that this is also normal, for gods who "wear many hats", mythological images generally only show a part of the mythological characteristics, and it is difficult to show all the mythological characteristics.

"It seems...... It's not a big deal, is it? ”

Raising her head to look at the statue, Niwa Nagahide inexplicably felt a "chuckle" in her heart, but on the surface, she still pretended to be nothing, and whispered to Tsuda Nobusumi next to her.

She didn't feel any change in the feeling of being watched, any more clear or more blurry.

The reason why Niwa Nagahide's heart trembled inexplicably just now was entirely because the appearance of the god statue was very consistent with the figure of someone in a certain memory.

I can immediately associate it because it is really impressive.

After all, it was for this incident that Imagawa Yoshimoto went crazy and launched countless wars, large and small, and pressed Owari Province to the ground and beat him to death. If it weren't for the arrival of the wealthy Mino, Owari, who was greatly injured, would have been completely wiped out.

And speaking of which, it seems that after that, some subtle changes have taken place throughout the troubled times of the Warring States......

"It should be an illusion...... there is really no other good reason, Niwa Nagahide can only convince himself like this again, and let himself believe it as much as possible.

This kind of thing shouldn't have anything to do with it in the first place.

Just hesitated, she still discussed a few words in a low voice with Tsuda Nobusumi, and then found a way to walk to the priest in the temple, planning to inquire about the specific matters.

However, of course, no valuable clues were heard, and the priest who was wearing a gilded robe with a sun pattern on his chest was obviously a very devout and serious believer, and his attitude towards people was also very gentle and patient. It's just that he is preaching doctrine from beginning to end, retelling those exaggerated myths and legends.

The only thing is not to mention the origin of the doctrine, as if it is an absolute truth that does not need to be said since ancient times, and it is also silent to mention the reasons why the Imagawa family promoted the Reformation.

However, his natural attitude made the two helpless, and because they couldn't behave too out-of-line, they couldn't ask directly.

It only strengthened Niwa Nagahide's basic speculation - there must be something wrong behind this.

……

Mu Xiu had been watching this scene coldly, but he didn't interfere or influence anything, because this was what he wanted to see.

Human beings are very strange creatures, and they will not cherish what they get easily, so he has to let the other party find a way to find the "truth" behind it.

……

Niwa Nagahide naturally didn't know anything about this, but she always felt that what she saw and heard was a little too strange, and her intuition seemed to be warning something, which made her very uneasy.

It's just that nothing happened until the two left the temple.

So she was still relieved, thinking that it was really like that, but the impression caused by her preconceived ideas caused all kinds of unnecessary cranky thoughts, and she couldn't take it seriously.

"Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven...... What is this? Did Imagawa Yoshimoto really think that her Suruga was the kingdom of gods on earth? ”

Looking at the simple brochure in her hand, the girl frowned slightly.

At this time, probably because he had already stepped out of the scope of the square, he had long since felt the sight of being "watched", and Tsuda Nobusumi relaxed a lot.

This handsome young man immediately couldn't wait to ask his "maid", "Wan Chiyo, are we still going to come over in three days?" It is said that it was the day when the temple was actually completed...... But we didn't find anything just now, so we shouldn't have to come again, right? ”

He was very reluctant to come to this strange temple again, and he always felt that it was really uncomfortable.

“……”

“……”

"Well, that's fine, Lord Shinsumi. Anyway, it is said that the ceremony will be held late at night in three days, and there should be no one to join in the fun at that time. ”

Niwa Nagahide thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"We should take advantage of that night's opportunity to look into something more important to us...... That ritual must only be a laughing stock, and we had better not go past to be noticed. ”

Speaking of which, she couldn't help but be a little amused.

The ceremony, which should have been extravagant, was held in the middle of the night three days later, and the curfew was only temporarily open, and the public was not required to participate—she could almost have foreseen how awkward the scene would be.

The common people and civilians all need to work, and they are already exhausted at the end of the day, and who will go to participate in any sacrificial ceremony at midnight, if it is not for compulsory mobilization, there will definitely not be more than a hundred people who will go to the scene.

Therefore, to say that the sacrificial ceremony was opened at midnight was simply a failure among failures, and at that time even people who watched the excitement could not be attracted. But they deliberately set such a delicate time, and they said it well.

Could it be that he has lost his mind and thought that the so-called "Lord of Radiance" can manipulate the heavens, play with the sun, moon and stars, and turn night into day in an instant?

"If this move wasn't meant to hide something else, then I could only give it 10 points."

The girl chuckled, but didn't let her guard down.

"But, Lord Shinsumi, I'm more inclined that this is actually a trap. For example, taking advantage of the fact that other forces are interested in that religion, such a situation is set up. Most people don't want to go and see it at all, but if someone actually went to the ceremony at that time, it would be doubtful. ”

After thinking about it for a moment, she added-

"The lifting of the curfew that night may have been a trap to expose us. So, Lord Shinsumi, please be vigilant that night. ”

……

……

At the same time.

On the edge of the harbor of a port city in the distance, Mu Xiu, who was watching the launching ceremony of the first steamship with the lord of the country, raised his eyebrows, and then he turned his head and said to the black straight girl beside him very calmly:

"In terms of the joy it brings, there is no shortage of fools on this planet."
