Chapter 53: The Eight Tigers of Ise

"Tell Amaterasu about the good things you did."

Ise Jingu, High Priest Fujiwara Kosuke looked indifferently at the eight sacrificial priests kneeling in front of him, his eyes filled with the anger of being disturbed.

He didn't expect that he was just lucky enough to be by Amaterasu's side for a few days, and the entire Ise Jingu was made like this by them.

One of the priests kneeling at the front raised his head quite calmly, and a glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes, which had become a little cloudy from old age.

I saw that even in the face of Fujiwara Kosuke's fierce tiger-like eyes, the elderly priest still responded unhurriedly:

"It's just some small things in the world, we didn't do it well, and it affected your service to the great gods, what a sin deserves death."

Listening to Takumi Kohara's words, Fujiwara Kosuke couldn't help but have a trace of nameless anger in his heart.

But his anger was quickly suppressed.

After all, the eight old immortals kneeling in front of him were the representatives of the eight families of Ise.

You know, there is an old saying in Ise Jingu that if you offend the gods, you will go to hell at most, and you will suffer endless torture for eternity, but if you dare to offend the eight major families of Ise, anyone who has any connection with you will be tortured inhumanely.

For this reason, there is a sentence in all the shrines in Kanto that best shows the strength and arrogance of the eight major families of Ise:

The sun in the sky is not as good as the eight tigers on the ground.

There is no way, Fujiwara Kosuke sighed secretly in his heart, although he now said that he had entered the eyes of the great god in the sky, but in the place of Toying, it is still a little wishful thinking to say that these big families who have been entrenched for many years are still a little wishful thinking.

So even if Kohara Zhuo knelt in front of him, it was just because Amaterasu-sama personally intervened about this matter, and he had to give an explanation to the one in the sky.

Because of this, it was the god who knelt down, not him, the titular high priest.

After all, in the final analysis, he Fujiwara Kosuke is just a commoner child who was selected from the shrine from school, and his background is innocent, and not marrying the eight families is an advantage in the eyes of the gods, and in the eyes of the eight families, it is a naked uncooperative attitude.

In the past two years, I have been in the shrine, there is Amaterasu in the sky, and the Eight Tiger families on the ground, alas, I am afraid that the future will be even more difficult.

Fujiwara Kosuke lamented in his heart, but he still couldn't show it on his face.

"I naturally know that Elder Gongyuan's work is not easy, but on the side of the great god, you and I are just servants serving the great god, these worldly things still have to be done well in the final analysis, and the gods can't be distracted by these trivial things, right?"

Listening to Fujiwara Hirosuke's affectionate and reasonable, and even with a hint of pleading and convincing words, Kohara Takuya didn't want to just make Fujiwara Hirosuke such an excellent scapegoat go down the steps.

"The High Priest has served the gods diligently these days, how can we bear to watch you bother with such a trivial matter? We will take care of these matters, and rest assured, we will work from both the Kanto region and the worldly side to ensure that this matter will be resolved satisfactorily. ”

Seeing that the largest pot was finally thrown out, Fujiwara Kosuke breathed a sigh of relief, he held the palm of Kohara Takuya tightly, looked at him with tears in his eyes, and then looked at the seven people behind him who were faintly headed by him, and said with deep affection:

"With Elder Kohara here, with all of you, how can our shrine not be favored by the gods, how can it not be the leader in Kanto!"

…………………………………………

Gongyuan Castle.

Gongyuan Zhuo also entered the inner courtyard with a slight pride, and looked at his contemplative father sitting in the courtyard, the real pillar of the Gongyuan family: Gongyuan Nobuhiro, and said as if he was invited:

"Father's ......"

"Get on your knees."

Before he could say a complete sentence, Nobuhiro Kohara opened his eyes slightly and looked at him and said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Takuya Kohara immediately knew that he had done something wrong, so even though he was already in his fifties, he quickly knelt down in front of his father without hesitation, completely losing his arrogance in front of Fujiwara Kosuke, but kneeling respectfully:

"Where you did something wrong, you admonished."

Seeing Takuya Kohara's attitude, Nobuhiro Kohara also lost a lot of anger, took a sip of tea, and asked:

"Let me ask you, who is in charge of Ise Jingu?"

Takuya Kohara replied without hesitation:

"Amaterasu, of course!"

"Undoubtedly?"

"That? That...... Is it our family? ”

"Think again, say more."

"It can't be Hirosuke Fujiwara's mud legs, right?"

"Think again."

"The son doesn't know, please tell the father."

"You, you, if you live for a few hundred years, you don't know as much as that Fujiwara Kosuke."

Hearing his father say that he was not as good as the mud leg that he hadn't looked up for thirty years, Takuya Kohara's face immediately changed, and he left the ground on his knees and prepared to talk to his father.

"Kneel."

Nobuhiro Gonghara said a word, and Takuya Gonghara knelt back again, but his face was still full of dissatisfaction.

"I said that you are not as good as him, are you still unconvinced?"

“……”

Gongyuan Zhuo didn't speak, but the resentment on his face was clearly visible.

"Okay, then let me ask you, why didn't you push it back when he pushed the incident you caused back to you this time? What's the matter, do you think he really can't take this responsibility? Or do you think you're the only one you have? Are you amazing? Can you fix all this? Meddlesome! ”

"My son just thinks it'......"

"Shut your mouth! You think, how did I not know you had such great ability! Let me ask you, the filthy church wants 50,000 yuan, and the few of us have negotiated it for 200,000 yuan, where do you dare to ask the cabinet for a full 2 million?! ”

Takuya Kohara knelt on the ground with his head down, not daring to say a word to his father, who was completely angry at this time.

Nobuhiro Kohara's old gas has not been exhausted, and some new gas has been added.

"Takuya Kohara, let me tell you, I'm not dead yet! I am the only one in charge of this family!

By the same token, Amaterasu Okami in the sky is not dead yet! The affairs of Ise Jingu are only counted by Him! ”

Takumi Kohara, who was kneeling on the ground, listened quietly like this, and he didn't know how much he listened.

Nobuhiro Kohara sighed faintly:

"You just be happy, if it weren't for the battle between Yaqi and the divine envoy of the Filthy Church this time, most of the people you originally planned to die would have survived, and in the end, a total of more than 500,000 people would have died, and I am afraid that not only you, but all the people in our family would have to be buried with you, and none of them would be able to escape!"

Hearing this, Gongyuan Zhuo also raised his head with some doubts.
