Mountain Court. basilica

The great priest was wearing a black veil this time, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, and an onmyoji below knelt on the ground and said in a low voice.

"Feng Yin Qishen is dead?" A twinkle twinkled in his eyes, and the Grand Priest asked again.

"It's really dead, and there is not a trace left, not even a trace of a remnant soul. Onmyoji replied, "When I received your order to send Shikjin to warn, it was already too late. ”

"But this son didn't kill all the ghosts and gods inside, Inhime witnessed the whole process, and it was a red light god, presumably this son has already achieved ghosts and immortals. ”

"In the end, we found traces, but we went straight to the sea, presumably back to Middle-earth. ”

"Oh, it turns out that he is already a ghost immortal, no wonder he killed Feng Yin Qishen so quickly!" Hearing this, the great priest was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It's unbelievable, we all saw the wrong eye." ”

At this time, this onmyoji couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward to ask: "Great Priest, now that the people of Middle-earth have returned to Middle-earth, are we going to eradicate the so-called Yahiro Yahime Shrine?"

The chief priest listened to the words, closed his eyes and was silent, a gust of wind blew, looking at the sky outside the hall, thin clouds like veils, the moon shone, looking at the layers of buildings below, and did not answer: "Have you found the body of Yahiro Yahime?"

"No, there is no trace of her in Fusang Prefecture, but she does have the power to go, presumably in Middle-earth. Onmyoji replied.

"Is that Taoist of Penglai Dao Palace in Shikoku really dead?"

"It's true that it's dead, and Penglai Dao Palace also sent Dao people to chase and kill, but in vain. Onmyoji replied.

"Then fulfill our agreement with him!" The great priest said with a fixed gaze, his expression was unfathomable, and when he saw the expression of the onmyoji below, he smiled and stood up, and took a few steps on the wooden plank: "Listen, according to the previous agreement, you arrange a few people to replace the original Toyokushi Shrine with Yahiro Yahime Shrine, and the original 1,500 stone shrine will also be returned to Yahiro Yahime Shrine." ”

“...... Hey!" Hearing this, the Onmyoji was stunned, and then went out of the main hall as ordered.

Looking at the disappearing back of this onmyoji, one person came out and said slowly, "What do you mean?"

The chief priest waved his hand: "It's just two shrines, and the total number of gods is only two thousand stones, not to mention the entire Fuso 100,000 shrines, even if they are insignificant in the four countries, it is just a matter of one sentence to eradicate them, but this is about Penglai and the Middle Earth Dao Palace, and only by keeping the reef can the wind and waves rise, do you say?"

The man suddenly realized and said, "Hey, I see!"

This onmyoji was puzzled, but he didn't dare to disobey, and after going out, he chose a few people and rushed to the Toyo Hidden Shrine overnight.

The road is not too far, and the next afternoon you will see the shrine in front.

At this time, it was already dusk, but the people still worshipped one after another, and one person said, "There are thousands of people visiting here every day, right?"

"There were three thousand. Onmyoji said.

A few people followed the crowd, cleaned their hands with a long-handled wooden spoon in the pool, and then went to the shrine with the ridge upturned to worship the shrine, threw a silver coin into the box with the wooden lattice, clapped their hands a few times, and prayed together.

Just at a glance, this shrine is a little bleak, this is because the original gods are not there, and then inside, I see a torrent, but it is scattered in the temple.

Several people glanced at each other and nodded, indicating that the Togakuki Shrine was indeed dead.

The sun continued to sink in the west, the sunset was all over the sky, the sky was dark, and gradually the crowd dispersed, and then a priest came out, this person was middle-aged, but with a worried look, as a priest, he could see the change of brilliance.

"We are the people of Robbie Shrine, and we brought the meaning of the Great Priest. Onmyoji said directly.

“...... I see, everyone, please come in!" said the priest, and when he got inside, everyone knelt down and sat down, and before they sat down, the priest bowed down and said, "Presumably the Divine Palace already knows and has instructions." ”

"Yes, the shrine already knows that the Toyokuki Shrine will be changed. Onmyoji said with a serious expression.

"Yes, which god is it?"

"It's Yahime Hachihiro. ”

"......" I haven't heard of this god, but by virtue of the name, it sounds like a goddess, and the priest is very puzzled.

"It's not Inhime, it's a new hime. The Onmyoji saw the look on his face and said directly.

The "......" priest was deeply puzzled, and fell to the ground, pressing his hands to the ground and saying nothing.

"Do you want to disobey Robbie Shrine's orders?" said Onmyoji in a rare stern voice.

"Don't dare, I'm so frightened, I'll follow this meaning!" said the priest, after a pause, and then said, "Do you want to make a replacement?"

If the gods can open up the cave and even the kingdom of the gods, they will not be affected by the ground, but if they can't, the palaces and even cities where the gods live on the blessed land are all made of the Yangshi Shrine on the ground, and when the Yangshi Shrine is old, the underground palace will also be dilapidated.

The people of Fuso are keenly aware of this, so they have a "replacement", that is, every few decades, all the original shrines are burned and rebuilt, of course, this also proves that the gods of Fuso are all earth-dwelling gods.

Due to the level of wealth and deity, the higher the rank, the shorter the period of isolation of the "zori", and the Ise Jingu is rebuilt every twenty years.

"No need, just replace the god card!" "Building a new shrine costs a lot, Wang Cunye ran away, and the onmyoji naturally won't pay for it, so he ordered: "Go quickly, it'll be completed tonight!"

"Compliance...... Yes!" the priest took a deep breath and finally replied, his heart very sad.

The replacement is very simple, not far from the ocean.

At this time the sea was asleep, the gentle waves crashed on the sand, and from time to time a breeze swept by, and on the beach a large group of people stood, and in front of the priest was a wooden one-foot-long boat, which had been made overnight.

Looking at the boat, God put a wooden sign on the boat, stunned for a long time, and poured warm wine into the bowl with a calm expression.

"Come, have another drink! Anyway, you once existed. As he spoke, he spilled the wine, sacrificed the wooden plaque, threw the bowl down, and then silently clasped his palms together in salute, and pushed it, only to see that the boat carried the god of abundance and concealment, and threw itself into the sea, rippling away into the distance.

No matter how small the wind and waves in the sea are, they will soon be submerged, looking up at the sky, this priest who has been worshipping all his life, tears can't help but burst out of his eyes.

But this is the Shinto of Fuso, and after the Kurokawa shogunate won the world, the god card of the founding general of the previous shogunate was also given out in this way.

After a while, everyone went back, the shrine was very simple, just a wooden plaque, there was no statue of the god in it, and there was very little incense, but this is the reason why the shrine is wooden, and it is very easy to catch fire with incense.

But at this time, the god platform was cleaned, and the table was wiped clean with a fine wet cloth, which was a sign of respect for the gods, and in the eyes of everyone, the priest put the newly made Yahiro Yahime god card on the stage.

An incense stick is lit, the incense is filled, and everyone, including the Onmyoji, makes their first pilgrimage.

With the visit, a little bit of red and golden divine light is lit up, which is the breath of the gods.

"Either way, it's all for the well-being of the neighborhood. ”

Fusang is like this, once the original gods dissipate, after a little longer, they are detected by ghosts, that is, demons are rampant, ghosts are numerous, and there is a bloody storm.

The most important thing is to be able to protect the righteous gods, deter ghosts, and not be harmed by them.

Awakening to this, the gloom in the priest's heart was swept away, and his mood suddenly brightened. In the words of the Zen scholars, this is also a kind of enlightenment.

Underworld. Hidden Ambiguity

Inhime and other female dependents, as well as sporadic samurai, have all left the city, and several female dependents are crying, and the changes in the yang world directly affect the city, and the deficit of the castle has disappeared.

"The city below will be burned down, and we will have no place to live. Inhime thought so, with a sad look.

If you lose this city, how can you survive in this demon-ridden and ghost-infested underworld?

At this moment, a golden-red light shot straight into the distance, and it fell with a "boom", only to see the Honmaru in Fuso Castle collapse violently, and Inhime closed his eyes violently, waiting for the fire to burn.

But no, I saw that after the collapse of the Honmaru, a palace was born in the middle, which was very spectacular, and in addition, there was no change in the slightest, and on the city gate, the handwriting of the original Fengyin Qicheng was revealed.

After a long time without waiting for the flames, Inhime looked around and thought, "This is a female concubine!"

"You won't be able to live outside the city, so it's better to fight than this. She suddenly summoned up her courage and rushed towards the city gate, while everyone around her closed their eyes, which would surely be reflected or even destroyed by the divine light.

But at this time, nothing changed, and Inahhime rushed in, watching as the city continued to have a trace of white air seeping out, permeating the streets and houses.

The ladies and warriors all looked at each other, and for a moment, they all shouted and rushed over.

And a few samurai who were contaminated with a thick black gas pounced, but they only heard the sound of "zizi", and suddenly screamed and screamed, and those who reacted quickly could still retreat, and those who reacted slowly suddenly turned into some black smoke and died.

In the distance, a huge gray-red palm flew in, about to stretch into it, suddenly, the palace suddenly lit up, and a divine power flew out, but it was dark gold, with indescribable majesty, and the gray-red palm touched, and suddenly the gray-red palm disappeared.

Everyone was dumbfounded, knowing that this hand was a nearby god, and they didn't want to suffer a big loss, and it took a long time for everyone to wake up and enter it again.

I saw that the inner courtyard was squeezed out, but it did not die, and the cherry blossoms continued to bloom little by little, standing under the eaves, you could see the streets and houses below, the wilderness forest on the right in the distance, the ocean on the left, there were no mountains here, there were small hills nearby, everything was the same as before

It's just that the Honmaru in the distance has changed and turned into a palace, and Inhime covers her face and can't help but splash tears.
