Japan claims to have eight million gods, with more than 80,000 registered shrines alone. If wild shrines and private sacrifices are included, the number will skyrocket.
Miyanaga Shrine is very large and majestic, not one of those little-known shrines. Passing through the torii gate means they have stepped into the realm of the gods. After walking forward for a while, they saw the main hall of the shrine.
certainly.
They were not here to worship gods. Led by Miyanaga Fujian, Jiangchuan and Sakurai Tong walked towards the outer hall next to the main hall of the shrine.
Through the open wooden sliding door, one could see a middle-aged man in a gray fine cloth kimono sitting at a low table on the tatami, drinking a drink. When he heard the voice, he put down the cup in his hand.
When Miyanaga Fengjian saw the person, he immediately came over, not caring that there were outsiders present. He snuggled up to the middle-aged man and told him the purpose of his visit in a half-coquettish manner.
If I'm not mistaken, this person should be the father that Miyanaga Fuma mentioned.
The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at them, then said to Miyanaga Kazema, who had just finished explaining his purpose, "Little girl, please don't lose your manners and invite the guest in first."
Miyanaga Fuzama stuck out her tongue. She had forgotten about this because she was in a hurry to talk about something. She stood up from her father's side and began to entertain Jiangchuan Hai and Sakurai Tong.
"Thank you for your care," the middle-aged man in Wufu said as he sat down in the living room after they entered. He smiled kindly at them and said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Miyanaga Masataka, a priest of Miyanaga Shrine."
Jiang Chuan bowed politely in return, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Gong Yong. Hello, I'm... your daughter's friend Jiang Chuan Hai."
After saying that, he glanced at Miyanaga Fengjian. The relationship between the two was neither classmates nor friends as they had only known each other for one day. It would be more appropriate to describe them as teammates. But now in front of the other's father, they came to ask for help, so Jiangchuan changed his words temporarily.
Behind him, Jiang Chuan heard the dwarf introduce himself in a tinny voice, "I'm Yingjing Tong."
"Don't be so reserved, both of you," Miyanaga Masataka said politely. "My daughter came back yesterday and told me about you two. Jiang Chuan-kun is quite capable despite his age. He was able to take out the blood puppets by himself. It's truly remarkable."
"No, it's only with the help of Kazama-san that we can exorcise that monster."
It was like praise from his elders, but Jiang Chuan didn't take it to heart, as most of it was just polite talk.
but.....
Just as he was about to say a few pleasantries before getting to the point, Jiangchuan heard Miyanaga Masataka say sincerely, "I know my daughter's abilities. She simply doesn't have the talent to be an exorcist. If it weren't for these eyes, I'd rather she lived her life as an ordinary person. When she came back yesterday, she told me she'd met a good teammate. Actually, you've been teaming up to exorcise monsters for a while now, right? If it weren't for the big fuss about the blood puppet, you probably wouldn't have kept it a secret from me."
"Huh?"
Jiang Chuan was doubtful, Ying Jing Tong was puzzled, and Miyanaga Fengjian's face turned red, and he stumbled and said guiltily, "Father...Father, Father, don't say anymore."
Sakurai Tong grasped the key point. The fact that Miyanaga Kazema teamed up with them for a while was completely fictional.
Confused, she asked, "Mr. Miyanaga, how did Kazama-san describe us yesterday?"
"I think highly of Egawa-kun. He's strong, thoughtful, and a key player in the team." Miyanaga Masataka looked at the girl who had spoken and replied, "Don't be discouraged, Sakurai-kun. Although you've lost all 24 of my matches, your sincerity has convinced the team to accept you. Don't worry if you're not as strong as me. You'll grow up one day."
Wow!!
Yingjing Tong suddenly became furious. She was confused just now, but now she understood everything. Who was it that lost all 24 competitions, and who was it that begged her to join the team, saying that he would do anything as long as he had merit points?
She shouldn't have kindly agreed to let Miyanaga Kazama join the team yesterday!!
Miyanaga Fuzama's face was almost buried in the tatami. It seemed that what he had done was exposed and he was too embarrassed to see them. Jiangchuan took a look and saw that this man had swapped his experience with the dwarf in order to brag in front of his father.
He reached out and pulled back the dwarf who was about to explode, telling him not to let his impulsiveness delay the important matter. At the same time, Jiang Chuan also wanted to avoid any awkwardness in the atmosphere, so he changed the subject and directly stated the purpose of his visit. "Mr. Gong Yong, we are here to trouble you with something. May I ask if you know the name of Feng Ye Shen?"
His daughter had just told him the purpose of their visit. Miyanaga Masataka frowned slightly upon hearing the name and said, "A new god born a hundred years ago, in charge of the harvest and the night."
There are many gods in Japan, some of whom disappeared with history, while new ones were born, so Jiangchuan was not surprised.
Except for the top ones and those born naturally, the Ming gods need willpower to survive, which is simply offerings, and it is also the source of power.
He was sealed a thousand years ago, and Jiang Chuan had no reason to blame himself for having no impression of the god who was born a hundred years ago.
only.
They were not here to inquire about the background of Feng Ye Shen. Jiang Chuan wanted to know the relationship between this name and the Fox God Cult, or where he could find this new god.
Seeing the guest's intention, Miyanaga Masataka's eyes were thoughtful. He didn't directly tell the guest what he wanted. Instead, he looked at the two of them seriously and said, "Before you two want to know other information, can you listen to my story first?"
…
The story takes place more than a hundred years ago, in a village near Tokyo. The villagers' crops have been poor for several consecutive years. People want to pray for a good harvest, so they ask someone to make two life-size human-shaped statues for worship.
