Chapter 128: Gibetsu Shrine

As an old empire, the national power of the Neon Nation has always been not to be underestimated.

However, since the chip war was broken by the Eagle Nation, coupled with the complete bursting of the economic bubble, the Neon Nation has been in a state of decline.

Although it still has a certain amount of influence in the international arena at present, it is not as glamorous as it used to be, far from being glamorous at its peak, and there is even a strange phenomenon of collective remembrance of the Showa era in society.

It is not difficult to guess the reason, because during that period, it was the day when all fields of the Neon Country went hand in hand and developed the most rapidly.

Kosuke Fukuda is not one of those who mourn, but he is also dissatisfied with the current state of neon society, and often expresses fierce opinions on the Internet.

It is worth mentioning that Kosuke Fukuda has just graduated from university and is currently a junior staff member of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, mainly responsible for the planning and coordination of residential housing.

His favorite thing to do every day is to sit in front of the TV with his job in his hands, listen to the news broadcast by the TV station, and express his unique opinions on it.

It was as if he was frowning at the news broadcast on the TV station.

"What are you doing," Kosuke Fukuda said in a dissatisfied tone, "I don't focus on how to improve my living standards, and I delve into some inexplicable things all day long, I really can't figure out what those big people think." ”

Fukuda Xiaoya sat next to him and pouted: "Brother, can you eat a good meal, even if you can't get used to it, you can't worry about salty radishes." ”

Kosuke Fukuda looked at his sister disapprovingly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say, watch the news, keep watching the news. Fukuda Xiaoya immediately confessed, made a gesture of sewing her mouth, and ate obediently.

However, she watched the news a few times beside her, and a little interest rose in her heart, and she couldn't help asking: "Brother, do we really want to build a Taoist temple in our city?"

The main content of the news broadcast on the television station is to select some cities to build Taoist temples and use them as pilot special zones for the promotion of Taoism.

"Well, I heard some rumors from my colleagues last week that Goryeo next door is in full swing, and our neon is about to start," Kosuke Fukuda replied sullenly, "I didn't believe it very much, but as soon as the news came out today, it was basically confirmed, alas, I guess some of them are busy." ”

As an employee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Kosuke Fukuda will inevitably bring him a huge amount of additional work for this kind of nationwide construction project.

Fukuda Xiaoya didn't pay attention to her brother's irritability, took a few mouthfuls of food, and asked out loud with a confused expression: "Is Taoism the same as Shintoism?"

"In general, these two sects are completely different concepts," because it involves work, so Kosuke Fukuda immediately had a certain understanding of Taoism after hearing the rumors before, and now in the face of his sister's inquiry, he can barely answer the right questions.

Taoism has nothing to say, it is the local sect of the Yuan Kingdom, and it is also a hot topic around the world now.

As for Shinto......

It is the product of the emperor's support in order to limit the expansion of Buddhism during the period of Buddhism's eastward expansion, advocating nature worship, ancestor worship and emperor worship, believing that no matter whether it is good, evil, beautiful or ugly, it can be called a god, and the widely spread theory of 8 million gods originates from this.

In fact, in the current Neon Country, in addition to large and small temples, the most common Zongjiao products are major shrines.

Just like the outskirts of Tianchong, there is a Gibetsu Shrine dedicated to Tsukitomizun.

In neon mythology, Izanagi is the father of the gods, and Tsukiyomi is the second son of Izanagi.

He is in charge of the realm of night and is seen by the world as the embodiment of the moon.

"If Matsudo City were to build a temple, I am afraid that only the area near the shrine would be able to free up a small amount of land, and the price of land in other areas would be too high for the government to afford. Kosuke Fukuda secretly guessed.

And that's exactly how things turned out.

After Kosuke Fukuda came to the company after breakfast, he received a notice from his superiors asking him to negotiate with Gibetsu Shrine and negotiate the land demolition in the vicinity of the shrine.

In the Neon Country, apart from the chaebol family, there is no one who is the richest person, and it is the operators of various temples and shrines.

They often own large tracts of land and invest in multiple trades, and the wealth they have accumulated over the years is definitely enough to be astonishing.

Kosuke Fukuda didn't really want to take on this errand.

Although Gibetsu Shrine is not the top shrine in the Neon Country, it is one of the best in Matsudo City and many surrounding urban areas.

Kosuke Fukuda even thinks about the problem with his toes, and he can guess that he must have a lot of connections behind it.

Want Kibetsu Shrine to spit out the meat you eat?

It's not too difficult!

"Kang Kai-san, as the youngest employee in the company, you should have the most vigorous energy, you must have the courage to face difficulties, why do you want to retreat when you encounter problems? No, this is not good. ”

Kosuke Fukuda wanted to say a few more words, but seeing his boss's very uneasy face, he finally swallowed the words and silently took the errand.

The official university crushes people to death, which is not a joke in the neon workplace.

So, like this, Kosuke Fukuda came to the door of Gibetsu Shrine in the suburbs at three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Why are there so few people?" said Kosuke Fukuda as he stood on the steps, feeling a little puzzled.

Recently, there has been a global "supernatural craze", and many young people have begun to chase after mysteries, but all temples and shrines with a little fame will unsurprisingly become popular attractions, welcoming many tourists every day.

But the Gibetsu Shrine in front of you is strangely deserted.

He took a step forward, buttoned the brass ring of the beast's head hanging on the door, and waited for a long time, but he never waited for the person who opened the door, not even a reply.

What's going on, today doesn't seem to be a special day, and it shouldn't be closed?

Take a step back, even if you don't plan to open the door, you can squeak at the same time.

Kosuke Fukuda had a disgusted look on his face.

At that moment, the door creaked open, and a thin man stepped out of it.

Kosuke Fukuda was taken aback, not because of the sudden movement, but because of the thin man's pale look, which didn't look like a ......

He then coughed to hide the surprise on his face, and showed a professional attitude: "Hello, I'm Kosuke Fukuda, a staff member of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and I came here to discuss the development of nearby land.

The thin man's face was expressionless, and after a while, a smile suddenly cracked: "Please come in." ”
