"Hongyi, how many shrines are there in the island nation?"
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Xiao Chen's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he asked.
"Huh? How many shrines?"
Hong Yi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Chen.
"Master, do you know how many temples there are in China?"
"Well, there are so many, how would I know?"
Xiao Chen shook his head, but he also understood what Hong Yi meant. There are many shrines in the island country.
"How many famous shrines are there? Especially those controlled by martial arts forces."
"The famous shrines... those are the ten major shrines, but not all of them are controlled by martial arts forces. There are two or three shrines that have other functions, such as the Jingguo Shrine."
Hong Yi introduced.
"Jingguo Shrine?"
Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold. This shrine was too familiar to the Chinese!
The island country's authorities are not doing their jobs day by day, so they just go to visit the Jingguo Shrine, and then China protests...
In Xiao Chen's opinion, protesting is useless!
If he was a real man, he would just come and smash it to pieces, leaving them no place to worship!
Now that I'm here, Xiao Chen has decided that I will act like a man and go there regardless of whether the Jingguo Shrine has what he needs or not.
"right."
Red nodded slightly.
"I'm sure you all know what that place is for."
"What about the Hokkai Shrine? Is it considered one of the ten great shrines?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
“Not really.”
Hong Yi shook her head.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes brightened even more. The Beihai Shrine has a spiritual imprint, but it is not even counted as one of the top ten shrines. What would the top ten shrines be like?
He is looking forward to it!
"Apart from the shrine, are there any other places similar to the shrine?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked again.
"You mean the Shrine?"
Hong Yi asked.
"The Shrine?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Have you heard of Isshiki Shrine? It is known as the most mysterious place in the island country! There are also many shrines of successive emperors..."
Hong Yi introduced it.
Listening to Hong Yi's introduction, Xiao Chen had only one thought, that is... go, go, go everywhere!
Xiao Chen thought that if he visited all the shrines and temples, his realm would at least go up one or two levels!
When his realm is crossed, his combat power will naturally soar... By then, it will not be impossible for him to fight against a half-step innate person!
In other words, once he returns from the island country, he will have the ability to go to the Xiao family!
Who is Xiao Zhentian? If he really dares to do that, I will beat him so hard that he won’t be able to find his way home!
The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more excited he became. He wanted to tour the ten major shrines right away.
"Brother Chen, why are you going to the shrine?"
Xiaodao couldn't help it and asked curiously.
When at the Beihai Shrine, Xiao Chen seemed to be "interested" in the statue and touched it for so long that they all thought Xiao Chen was going to have a human-demon love affair!
After arriving at the Anji Shrine, Xiao Chen did the same and touched the statue.
"There is energy on the statue..."
Since they were the closest people, Xiao Chen did not hide anything and told them what he found on the statue.
"What? A spiritual mark?"
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Dao and the others were all shocked.
"Yes, but not all of them are spiritual marks. Only those like the North Sea God King can be called 'spiritual marks', and the one from Anji Shrine is just energy."
Xiao Chen nodded and said.
"Can you absorb this energy?"
Xiaodao's eyes widened.
"Of course, why else would I go to the shrine?"
Xiao Chen nodded.
"However, I can do it, but you can't. This is related to the mental method I practice... Maybe by the time we leave the island country, I will be able to fight against a half-step innate person."
“This… is awesome.”
Xiao Dao and the others were amazed. Just by absorbing it, one can increase one's strength? It's too incredible.
"Brother Chen, you are practicing the Star Absorbing Technique, right?"
Sun Wugong looked strange.
"No, it's totally different."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
Everyone chatted and came to Okamoto Shrine.
Xiao Chen and others got off the car and looked around. It seemed to be bigger than the Anji Shrine, but not as big as the Beihai Shrine.
There shouldn't be any spiritual imprint or anything like that.
But as for energy, give me some, Xiao Chen won’t mind.
"Come on, let's go in."
Xiao Chen took a few steps, then thought of something and looked at Hei Yi.
"Heiyi, see if you can bribe the staff again later."
"good."
Black nodded.
Afterwards, the group passed through the torii gate and headed straight for the temple.
In the temple, they saw another statue of a deity, and this deity... was actually a female!
"Is this the 'Okamoto River' you were talking about?"
Xiao Chen turned to look at Hong Yi and asked.
"Yes, Okamoto River."
Red nodded slightly.
"The King of Condoms... is actually a woman? It's really a long story."
Xiaodao and the others also looked strange, but after looking around, they didn't see anyone distributing free condoms.
"It seems that this is not the same thing as that Okamoto."
"Nonsense, can it be the same thing?"
"Hey, do you think Okamoto 001 is really useful?"
"Yeah, it's very useful. I've used it before. The material is different from the condoms we usually use..."
"Oh? Really?"
"It's a little hard, but it feels like I'm not wearing anything."
Listening to their conversation, Xiao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth... Damn, it's only because this great goddess Okamoto is not spiritual. If she were spiritual, she would have killed all of you!
This topic...why is it getting more and more off-topic?
Xiao Chen was too lazy to pay attention to them and instead looked at the statue above.
As for whether she is a woman or not, he doesn’t care... It doesn’t matter whether she is a man or a woman, as long as she has energy!
He looked around for a few times, thought of something, activated the 'Chaos Technique', and continued to observe.
Sure enough, when the 'Chaos Technique' is running, it is easier to see whether there is 'spirituality', that is, energy.
"Hei Yi."
Xiao Chen said to Hei Yi.
"good."
Hei Yi nodded in understanding, took out a stack of money, and walked towards the staff who were staring at them.
When he suggested that his friend get close to the statue, he was sternly refused.
"That's impossible. Goddess Okamoto can be admired from a distance, but not blasphemed up close, lest we offend her."
One of the staff members refused in all seriousness.
"It seems... we have to resort to force."
"Well, the little devil wants to be beaten, so we'll make it happen."
Xiaodao and his companions were also paying attention to the situation here. Although they only understood a little of the Japanese language, they could understand what it meant just by looking at the expressions.
Even Xiao Chen felt that he might have to take action, but Hei Yi took out a thicker stack of money from his bag and handed it over: "There are only two of you here. If you agree, then we can divide it."
Seeing the even thicker amount of money in Hei Yi's hand, the two of them looked at each other, smiled, took it, then turned to look outside, no longer looking at Xiao Chen and the others.
“…”
Xiao Chen and the others were stunned. What the hell, is this even possible?
It’s true... Money makes the world go round!
The same thing applies to the Japanese devils.
"Brother Chen, it's enough, hurry up."
Hei Yi said to Xiao Chen.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded, stepped onto the altar, and placed his right hand on the statue.
The Chaos Technique was running wildly, and energy flowed along his arms and into his body.
Xiao Chen's spirits perked up slightly. The energy of the statue was much greater than that of the statue in Anji Shrine!
It’s almost as good as the golden statue at Hokkai Shrine!
The two staff members glanced inside and were relieved when they saw that Xiao Chen did not do anything to blaspheme Goddess Okamoto.
Then, they all touched the thick banknotes in their pockets, thinking in their hearts which place to go to and which girl to play with tonight.
Xiaodao and the others ignored them and stared at Xiao Chen and the statue, trying to see something.
But that kind of energy is invisible and cannot be seen by the naked eye!
For example, air cannot be seen, but it definitely exists!
Even Xiao Chen could only feel it but couldn't see it...so they couldn't see anything.
However, someone like Li Hanhou still felt something vaguely.
He stared at the statue...it seemed that the statue had changed a little from before.
If he was spiritual just now, now he has become...dementia?
Anyway, it's just a statue, not so lifelike.
After about two minutes, Xiao Chen came down from the altar.
This time, he did not leave in a hurry, but showed a satisfied smile, and gained a lot.
"Brother Chen, no need to run?"
Xiaodao asked in a low voice.
"No, the material of this statue is good and there are no cracks."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"Oh, that's fine."
Xiaodao nodded, relieved.
"Thank you. Since you are not a martial arts force, I will not destroy your statue."
Xiao Chen looked at the statue, said something, and then looked at it a few more times.
He felt that he should bring the Zhuge brothers and sisters with him when he came to the island country this time.
If they come, they can take a look to see if these shrines have any formations arranged, such as the 'Spirit Gathering Formation', with the statue of god at the center of the formation!
In this way, it will be easier to give the statue a "spirit".
Otherwise, it would be too difficult to absorb the power of faith just by placing such a statue.
"Maybe... I should ask Zhuge Qingyang."
Xiao Chen muttered something, and his eyes lit up as he thought of something.
Although they didn't come, he could take a photo and send it to Zhuge Qingyang, asking him to help take a look.
If there really is a formation, traces of it can be seen from the photos.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen took out his cell phone and was about to take a picture.
“No photography allowed inside the temple.”
When the staff saw Xiao Chen was about to take a photo, they came over to stop him.
"Hei Yi."
Xiao Chen shouted.
"good."
Hei nodded and took out the money and handed it over.
“Just take fewer pictures.”
The staff member took the money, smiled again, did not stop him, and left.
Xiao Chen shook his head. It was true that all crows were black!
He thought that this was a characteristic of our great China, but he didn't expect that the island country also has this character!
However, these have nothing to do with him. Things that can be settled with money are not problems.
He took out his cell phone and took pictures of the temple and the statues, then left the temple and took pictures of other places.
"Brother Chen, what are you doing?"
Sun Wugong asked.
"See if there is any formation."
Xiao Chen thought about it, found a deserted place, took out a drone, controlled it to fly into the air, and took a few pictures from above.
"let's go."
