The shrine located in Kudan, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, is preparing for the Kasuga Festival.
A priest placed a golden cage on the long table, turned around and said to the other priests:
“This time, I was able to escape the natural disaster thanks to the warnings given by these divine rats.
If I hadn't discovered their abnormality, I would have died on Gunkanjima.
This is a blessing from Amaterasu, and these divine rats are messengers sent by God..."
The priest wears a golden mask with a nine-petal chrysanthemum on it, representing that he is the leader of the Nine Chrysanthemum sect in Shintoism.
In recent years, the power of the Jiujiu faction has been growing, and priests from other factions in Shintoism have to give Takeda Jiro some face.
Following Takeda Jiro's introduction, everyone's eyes fell on the golden cage.
A pink mouse bared its teeth at them.
"Let me out now! How dare you imprison His Majesty the Rat Emperor?
When my boss comes, I will kill you all!"
Unfortunately, none of these priests could understand Xiaozhi's rat-like language.
"This mouse does look quite intelligent."
"Look at the mouse at the back. It actually looks like it's wearing a vest. Hahahaha..."
"There are nine mice in total, and each one looks different. It's so interesting!"
"Ridiculous! No matter how beautiful a mouse is, it is still a mouse. How could Amaterasu send a mouse as a messenger?"
"That's right, Takeda Jiro, what are you trying to do? You rats must be a hybrid breed. You are doing this gimmick just to cover up the fact that your Jiujiu sect has been punished by heaven."
…
The priests of other factions were not as ambitious as Takeda Jiro of the Jiujiu faction. Most of them lived in seclusion in their respective shrines, and some factions even advocated not killing, so when they saw Xiaozhi's family, their reactions varied.
Takeda Jiro said in hatred: "What kind of punishment is this? It's just the evil people from the Yamaguchi-gumi who want to seize our base for smuggling.
The conspiracy blew up the underground palace, triggering a natural disaster.
All the Yamaguchi-gumi members who went to the island died on the island. If it was a punishment from heaven, Amaterasu would punish them as well."
“It was the messenger of God who saved my life and Kaizo Kyogo’s life.
I proposed to introduce the messenger of God to the believers across the country during the Spring Festival, but it was also to publicize the favor of Amaterasu to her people. "
A priest objected, "These mice may look good, but I don't see what they can do. How can they convince the believers?"
Jiro Takeda had seen with his own eyes that the local rats were obedient to Xiaozhi. If the group of rats had not happened to run into the mechanism he had set up, he would have had no chance of catching Xiaozhi.
"This pink mouse can make other mice bow down to it."
Jiro Takeda's words did not convince people, so someone asked them to catch some mice to see the effect.
Even though they have many followers, it is not easy to catch rats alive.
This was not accomplished until the next day.
Two dozen local rats were brought to the shrine.
The priests gathered again for a meeting, wanting to see the miracle.
Unfortunately, the newly caught mouse did not show any unusual reaction when it saw Xiao Zhi's family in the golden cage, except for jumping around in the cage.
Xiao Zhi looked down on Takeda Jiro as if he was a fool.
The rats on Gunkanjima worship it because it controls the fat black guy, who is the leader of the rats on Gunkanjima.
Now these mice don’t recognize it, so why should they worship it?
What if we mice were like you humans, with weak knees, kneeling all day?
The priests burst into laughter and mocked Takeda Jiro, "Takeda-kun, we know that your Jiujiu sect has been punished by heaven, but you are unwilling to accept it and refuse to disband the Jiujiu sect.
But you shouldn't come up with such an outrageous fake miracle to deceive us, right?"
Jiro Takeda frowned and thought, why didn't he kneel down?
He slapped his head and remembered that a mouse was missing, so he hurriedly asked someone to call Haizang Jingwu.
He remembered the rat that Kaizang Jingwu raised, and it was with these rats at that time.
Could it be that the rat is the real messenger of God?
Unfortunately, the person who went out to call for Kaizo Kyogo came back and said, "I don't know where Kaizo-kun has gone."
Takeda Jiro was also a ruthless man. Seeing that Xiaozhi's family was useless and made him look ridiculous, he said viciously: "Since it's not a divine mouse, burn it to death along with the rats delivered today!"
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he was shocked. He didn't want to die. He was still waiting for the boss to save him.
Xiao Zhi changed his uncooperative attitude, stood up, grabbed the edge of the cage with his two front paws, stretched his neck and squeaked at the ordinary mice outside.
The mice outside turned around and stared at it.
Then, one of the mice seemed to be suddenly awakened. It first stood up, then put its front paws together, bent its hind paws, and leaned forward to lie down.
It really looks very similar to the posture of Shinto worshipping Amaterasu.
“Squeak…”
“Squeak…”
I don't know what the mice are communicating.
The other mice hesitated for a moment and then kowtowed to Xiaozhi.
The Shinto people were stunned...
Is it really a magical rat?
Is he really a messenger of God sent by Amaterasu to the mortal world?
Takeda Jiro proudly raised his head and chest, glanced at the others, and was the first to bow to Xiao Zhi: "Welcome back, Lord God's Messenger!"
The other priests thought it was ridiculous, but they did not dare to laugh at the Lord Messenger of God anymore.
