Chapter 54: Eight Meanings and Gods?
The Metropolitan Police Department's kendo dojo is particularly lively today.
The previously cold and empty dojo was now full of people, and everyone stared at the three long knives at the front of the dojo with burning eyes.
Three long knives of different colors were carefully placed on the delicate knife holders, and although there were no spotlights lit, they still attracted everyone's attention at the moment.
There are many people who come here, including priests and shrine maidens from the Great Shrine, onmyoji from the well-known Onmyodo family, and more police officers and swordsmen screened by the Metropolitan Police Department.
Those who can come here are either good status or superior strength.
Naturally, they knew the purpose of summoning them today, but it was precisely because of this that they were so enthusiastic.
That's extraordinary power! If you master the power of the supernatural, you will become an extraordinary!
Who dares to say that they haven't fantasized about being one of those big heroes in stories and movies, acting chivalrous and righteous, happy and revenge?
And now, as long as they can get the approval of the Exorcism Knife, they can have that qualification!
Ayako Todai stood aside and looked at this group of enthusiastic teenagers and girls with pity, these guys only thought about what they could do if they obtained extraordinary powers, and they didn't think about what they should do if they obtained extraordinary powers.
Unlike them, Ayako Todai had seen those terrible yokai and knew how much courage it took to fight them.
The war-weariness of the officers in the special section is also the reason why the ceremony of choosing the master of the exorcism knife has been carried out so quickly, if there is really no vitality to supplement the special class, maybe the police officers of the special section will form a group to rebel tomorrow.
Monsters can only be confronted head-on by transcendentals, but the two transcendents currently owned by the special class belong to the Todai Shrine, and with the Totai Mountain God as their back, they can't be called at will by the special class at all, on the contrary, they must be honestly offered, and they are more worried about their safety than themselves.
But if there is no one in front of the war with youkai, wouldn't it have to be filled with the lives of ordinary police officers?
The transcendents who belong to the Metropolitan Police Department must be in place as soon as possible!
Under the consensus of the high-level, the ceremony was fully prepared as soon as possible, and the purpose of the selection was very simple, that is, the more the merrier.
It is best to prepare ten or twenty spare tires for each demon exorcism knife, so that the previous sword owner can quickly make up for it after his heroic sacrifice.
To put it bluntly, the Metropolitan Police Department's mentality towards them is consumables, after all, they themselves are not important, what matters is the exorcism knife they hold.
As long as there is no problem with the Demon Exorcism Knife, what is the spiritual power qualification, as long as you expand the scope of searching, you can always find it.
It is precisely because of this idea that the candidates for the Demon Exorcism Sword Master have swelled from the previous dozen people to nearly a thousand.
Hundreds of people went to the test one by one, even if it only took three minutes for one person, it was obviously not a day to complete, so the ceremony lasted for several days, which meant that most of the people on the scene actually didn't need to come at all now, but even so, the candidates who were in the back of the queue all rushed over, hoping to prove their intentions to the divine sword.
"Drink!"
A young man in a priest's robe lowered his head, chanting inaudible incantations in his mouth, and under an inexplicable momentum, the robe of his whole body automatically rose up without wind.
No one knows how to get the approval of the Demon Exorcism Knife, and even if they know such a thing as 'spiritual power qualification', they don't know how to show it, so the selection rule of the Metropolitan Police Department is 'do as you like'.
Heart?
It's easy to say, but those young selectors are dumbfounded, what's the thing? Is it to communicate with the divine sword with your heart?
The first few selectors sat upright in front of the sword, trying to communicate with the sword in a 'heart-to-heart exchange'.
Of course, it didn't work, on the contrary, it looked very silly.
I don't know when a swordsman who didn't want to be stupid began to show his swordsmanship in front of the sword, which caused a little reaction from the sword, and then the selectors behind him silently began to learn.
The priest and the onmyoji read the lines, the shrine maiden danced kagura, and the police and swordsman showed their swordsmanship, which was much better than when the divine sword did not respond before.
"Hah!"
Finally finished reciting the lines, the priest burst into a shout, his hands were sealed, and his eyes looked at the divine sword expectantly.
Give some reaction, give some reaction, give some reaction, please give some reaction!
The priest prayed earnestly in his heart.
However, no, there was no reaction when the demon exorcism knife was placed on the knife holder.
"Next."
Ayako Todai sat upright in her chair and barely bothered to get up.
Because of the name of Todai and the identity of the right-hand man of the special class, she was selected as the main person in charge of this ceremony.
But now it seems that this ceremony is still not very successful, although the Metropolitan Police Department wants to recruit spare tires, but the reality is that it seems that it is difficult to find even the original match.
Hundreds of people have been screened, but there are only a few of them that can cause the reaction of the Demon Exorcism Knife, and even those who have caused the reaction of the Demon Exorcism Knife, in Todai Ayako's opinion, the Demon Removal Knife is just a lazy echo, obviously, it doesn't look down on those guys.
Because Todai Ayako used to be a shrine maiden at Todai Shrine, she was also sent to 'freewheel' by the Metropolitan Police Department, but fortunately, the Demon Exorcist didn't have much interest in her, which made her secretly relieved.
Although she likes power, she really cherishes life a little more, and the cannon fodder thing should be let others go, she is now a small leader sitting in the office.
"Ah, sure enough, Lord Divine Sword still doesn't look down on me?"
"Next."
"From the first time I saw Lord Divine Sword, I knew that I couldn't do without you, although my qualifications were ugly, but I still ......"
Obviously, this priest has some ideas, and now he wants to forcibly add drama to himself, but Todai Ayako doesn't want to care about him, there are still hundreds of people waiting behind him, don't you see that someone has already glared at him?
"Next!"
The two candidates in the back queue immediately rushed forward, picked up the chattering priest and threw it behind, and then came forward with a dog's licking face.
With the help of the crow's perspective, Yuexikong observed the situation of the kendo hall with great interest from a distance, mainly to observe which people's identities in the hall could be used.
There are a lot of Shinto families and children of the Yin-Yang Dao family, and if you want to get something, then it's naturally best to use their identities.
And those poor eggs who are fortunate enough to be targeted by Yuexikong will become the spare tire candidates for the Demon Exorcism Knife.
But to be honest, he is not very satisfied with the few spare tires he is eyeing now, these shrines dedicated to the main god of the great god are not needed by him in a short period of time, and the few gods who can be used are not the main priests in these shrines, and it seems a little unreasonable to make things happen through them.
The priest who licked the dog's face looked at Todai Ayako with an attentive face, he had done his homework and knew the relationship between this person and Todai Shrine, so he pinned his hopes on licking Totai Ayako to get the approval of the divine sword.
Ayako Todai was obviously not interested in him, but just read his name and identity hastily.
"Enshrine the Cheonan Kawara Palace, Morien Junpei, it's your turn."
Enshrine Cheonan Hawon Palace?
Eight meanings and gods?
Hearing the name of this shrine, Yuexikong's eyes lit up, and he thought of an interesting story to unfold.
