=====================
When the Ito family returned to the shrine, two men in priests' robes were sitting and drinking tea in the shrine's big house.
Seeing the two people in the big house, the old man Ito who was about to walk into the house was stunned, and then calmly walked into the room, and walked towards the two priests who were getting up from their seats with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Takuro has been saying goodbye since eight years ago, and I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"yes, I didn't expect the two of us to see each other again in eight years." One of the two is about 1.7 meters tall, with a black and white mixed head neatly combed back, as if the oil is shiny like wax, with a kind smile, a round face full of healthy ruddy, bright eyes, and full of emotion.
"Who is this?" Old man Ito shook Takuro's hand, looked at the priest beside Takuro and asked. This person is slightly taller than Takuro, his physiognomy age looks like he is about forty years old, his spirit is short, and with the stern expression on his face, the faint majesty looks like a person in a high position.
"Kikujiro, let me introduce you, this is the chief priest of the Ise Shrine who is in charge of external relations, Liu Chiqing, and I came here this time to be entrusted by the priest Liu Chi Masa, and I came to be an introducer." Takuro turned slightly sideways, and introduced to Old Man Ito with a slightly respectful expression.
"Hello, Priest Liu Chizheng." Old man Ito let go of the hand he was holding with Takuro, and saluted Liu Chi with a straight face.
"You're welcome, Masato Ito." The majesty on Liu Chiqing's face was retracted, and he instantly changed to a warm smile, and said to Old Man Ito very respectfully.
There is also a hierarchy of priests in Japan, generally speaking, there are five levels. They are: the net level, the bright stage, the positive stage, the straight stage and the last straight order. And the old man's Kasumi rank is just one level higher than Liu Chiqing's, in Japan, especially in Shinto, a force that regards class very strictly, the old man who is a higher level has a lot of authority, even the people who came out of Ise Jingu do not dare to ignore the class gap and be arrogant.
Then under the reception of the old man, the three of them sat down as guests, and the main seat was, of course, the main lord and the old man sat in terms of rank.
After the three of them sat down, Ito Suzu on the side reloaded three cups of tea for the three of them, and quietly retreated to the lower seat with her mother Eriko and Ito Nari, and watched the three chat.
"I don't know what Priest Liu Chizheng is here......" The old man on the main seat took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and then said a little knowingly.
"That's right." Liu Chiqing put the teacup he had taken a sip of in front of him, bowed slightly to Old Man Ito, and said, "The Great Priest Natori heard that there is a kind of talisman in your family that has a miraculous healing effect on external injuries, and the Great Priest is very interested in this, so I asked the next to come and confirm it, and if it is true, we will discuss some things later." ”
Takuro on the side looked at the old man Ito who was sitting still on the main seat with a surprised expression after hearing Liu Chiqing's words, and didn't say anything, just like he said, he was just an introduction and didn't participate in other things.
The old man nodded, and his mother on the side, Hui Lizi, reached out and took out a rejuvenation charm and respectfully handed it to Liu Chiqing, and then retreated to his original position. Then I only listened to the old man and said, "This is the talisman you said, the rejuvenation talisman." ”
"Oh?" Liu Chiqing didn't expect the old man to be so happy, he was very curious and reached out to pick up the talisman in front of him, looked through it twice, and after there was no difference between it and the general yin-yang talisman or sealing talisman, he decisively gave up checking and listening carefully to the old man's explanation.
"The rejuvenation charm is a kind of talisman that specializes in the treatment of external injuries, and can play a role in hemostasis and simple treatment for some flesh wounds, muscle injuries and other ** injuries. It can also inhibit some injuries to internal organs. As for the effect, generally one such talisman can probably only treat ordinary extracutaneous knife wounds, and no matter how deep it is, it needs to be superimposed, so the rejuvenation charm is only suitable for simple treatment in emergency situations, and there is no formal treatment to be inexpensive. "Old man Ito half-truthed about the effect of the rejuvenation charm, the application environment, and the possible cost.
"That's right." Liu Chiqing nodded suddenly in realization, then took out a rib fork out of the sheath from the inside of the god's robe, raised his hand and waved the knife to cut it on the exposed arm. Immediately, a stream of blood gushed out and splattered on the ground in front of him.
A different color flashed in Itocheng's eyes, but he didn't expect this Liu Chiqing to be a ruthless person.
"How do I use this?" Liu Chiqing put the rib fork in front of him, picked up the rejuvenation charm and asked the old man, ignoring the rushing blood at all.
"Just activate it with spiritual power." The old man also had a feeling of impressment at this Liu Chiqing and said.
When Liu Chiqing heard this, the spiritual power in his body quickly came to his fingers, and he instantly activated the rejuvenation talisman in his hand and pasted it on his injured arm. I saw that in the soft green light, the wound on Liu Chiqing's arm visibly stopped the blood, and the blood coffee fell off, revealing the pink flesh under the blood coffee...... At this time, the Rejuvenation Talisman also consumed all its energy, turned into dust, and scattered all over the ground.
"It's amazing." Liu Chiqing said with an amazed face. Although there are many magical methods for healing external injuries in Ise Jingu, there is really no Rejuvenation Charm in terms of convenience and effectiveness, even if the healing effect of the Rejuvenation Charm may not be as powerful as those methods.
"Old man, is this kind of talisman unique to your family?" Liu Chiqing put away the exclamation on his face, stared at the old man with burning eyes and asked.
"Yes." The old man admitted, not at all worried that Ise Jingu might have something to do with the method of making the rejuvenation talisman. You must know that the family and the power of the shrine seem to have a subordinate relationship, but they are fundamentally a covenant-like combination, and they are mutually restricted. If Ise Jingu really did something, not to mention the reaction of other families, it would be impossible for other Jingu forces who were bent on taking the throne to agree.
"What does it cost me if I want to get this sigil?" Liu Chiqing said.
"Do you want it, or do you want it?" Old man Ito asked.
"Jingu wants." Liu Chiqing said. He is the only one who has no family, no drag, and is a person who is for the Divine Palace.
"What price can the shrine pay." The old man began to test Liu Chiqing or the bottom of the Divine Palace.
"I think the old man also knows that this talisman itself is not very valuable, so the price that our Divine Palace can provide you with is very small." Liu Chiqing is not light on the bottom, but on the value of the rejuvenation charm.
"Yes, but that's in normal times, and it's an eventful time now." Old man Ito chuckled.
"Having said that, but the rejuvenation charm is not an essential thing except for its advantages in some aspects, even if it is needed because of the current situation, it is just for the occasional need, old man, you can't think too high of it." Liu Chiqing said.
"But as far as I know, some of the advantages of the Rejuvenation Charm are indeed absolute advantages, and this advantage alone has a role that cannot be ignored in the war that may be about to explode, isn't it." The old man said, "So there is no need to say much about those imaginary ones, you still say what price the Divine Palace can give." ”
"......" Liu Chiqing frowned, groaned and said, "In terms of finances, the shrine will give the Ito family shrine a certain tilt. ”
"Not enough." The old man said with some dissatisfaction. Although the maintenance of the shrine requires money, there is no need to sell benefits for such a light reason.
"Raise the family level of the Ito family." Liu Chiqing continued.
"What's the use of playing at the family level? It's not the Warring States era now, you don't need that kind of false name, you better have something real. The old man said disdainfully.
"You can let one of your family members enter the Ise Jingu and serve as a priest." Liu Chiqing finally said. You must know that Ise Jingu is not so easy to enter, except for members of the imperial family, it can only be orphans adopted since childhood and scattered people recruited under some special circumstances can serve in the shrine, and the family forces want to arrange individuals in the Ise Jingu, the boss of the Shinto forces, it is not to think about it. However, the benefits of entering it can also be imagined, not to mention the power borrowed invisibly, and some information obtained by virtue of the convenience of being in the shrine, it is said that the Ise Jingu with some cultivation resources backed by the imperial family is not comparable to the family power.
"Really?" The old man said with some surprise.
"Yes, but accordingly, you can't provide a rejuvenation talisman to any other force except for providing us with the Divine Palace." Liu Chiqing said.
"......" The old man's expression suddenly became entangled, and after a long silence, he said helplessly, "Let's change it, I can't agree to this condition." ”
"That's what the old man said we should pay." Liu Chiqing raised his eyebrows and asked quietly.
"In addition to the financial inclination, I also want a guarantee, a guarantee that no other forces have come to trouble our Ito family since the Shrine Talisman, how about it." The old man said in a long time. Since Liu Chiqing asked himself to raise the price, it is better to ask for a guarantee directly from Ise Jingu if he makes some useless requests. After all, the Ito family is just a family, and it is still a family of three or four big cats and small cats, and it is not as good as those large forces. If you can take this opportunity to get the assurance of Ise Jingu, then you don't have to worry about the rejuvenation charm causing trouble in the future, and it can be regarded as a short end to this matter.
"I can't be the master of this, I need to ask the great priest." Liu Chiqing frowned and said.
"Yes." Old man Ito said, and then watched Liu Chiqing walk out of the big house, walked into the courtyard, and took out his mobile phone to contact the shrine in Kyoto.
