Sword Saint Priest and Lolita Priestess

"The place where Shiina was found yesterday is the core space of [Reverse Tokyo Metropolis]. It is well known that the core space of [Spirit World] is located at the same location as the anchored world space. If you leave the spirit world in the core space, you will appear in its anchored earthly position”

"And the core space of [Reverse Tokyo Metropolis] is at Hie Shrine."

"[Reverse Tokyo Metropolis] has a characteristic of the spirit world ----- wherever in [Reverse Tokyo Metropolis] you leave the spiritual world, you will appear in the current Tokyo Metropolis. Of course, I am referring to the physical body entering 【Reverse Tokyo Metropolis】, instead of entering in the form of soul fragments like those so-called players."

"In this way, I can conclude that [Reverse Tokyo Metropolis] is anchored by Hie Shrine in this world!"

"Saori, you should also know that the most important thing to grasp a spiritual world is to grasp its anchor point and the present world where the anchor point is. Hie Shrine is the most important anchor point of [Reverse Tokyo Metropolis], [Seeking Truth] And 【Old Tengu】will let it out of your grasp?"

"That means Hie Shrine is under their control?" Asakura Saori said in surprise when she heard this.

Then she showed a thoughtful expression, and said quickly: "The Hie Shrine is an old Gongbi Grand Shrine. Its status is extremely high, second only to the three major shrines. The god of the earth and growth] Dashanza God fell into a deep sleep, and the social status was just lowered, and it became today's Hie Shrine."

Yu Zhongming followed her words and continued: "The [Sanno Festival] undertaken by Hie Shrine is one of the three major festivals in the Japanese archipelago, commonly known as [Tianxia Festival]. "Pray for the safety of the citizens of the capital" is the most important ceremony to pray for a good harvest in the entire Kanto Plain, and it is also a necessary ceremony to strengthen the Great Barrier Group in Tokyo.Every year, the direct line of the royal family must host the sacrificial ceremony. "

"According to the [Kojiki], the Dashanza God enshrined in the Hie Shrine was born of the Dainian God and the god Kaliu Meidome. "

"The "Zha" in the name of the god is the name of the wooden stake used as a mark when building a house.Its god is the god who used the mountain as a stake, so it has the meaning of "the god who owns the mountain". "

"Before the second world tide, Japanese monks and Taoists did not merge and collectively be called Guangjing sect. At that time, monks were also divided into several schools just like Shinto. One of them preached the law on Mount Hiei and called itself Tiantai sect. Call it "Rijishan King Quanxian"

"According to the "Yoshida Leo Yi Inscription" cited in "The Legend of the Age of Gods" and "Collected Works of Luoshan", the Taikoo Danbo Kingdom used to be a lake, and the god of the mountain opened the shore of the lake, and the lake water flowed away, and it became a flat land .People built temples to worship the God of Dashan Zha.”

"So Dashanza God was originally the patron saint of Taikoo Danba Kingdom and Omi Kingdom, which were the territory of Guojin God at that time."

"495 years ago, the guardian of Edo at that time welcomed the God of Mount Hiei into Edo Castle, and respected him as the patron saint of Edo. Later in the Edo period, the Emperor Sun Miko lost his position, and the shogunate respected the God of Mountain. , instead of worshiping Amaterasu sitting emperor Dainichi female statue. Later, Hie Shrine welcomed the Omono Lord God who was enshrined in incense, and called it [Dabirui]. The god of Dashan Zha was called [Little Birui], and the two were collectively called [Shanwang]. Among them, Omonoshushin is another name for Okunizushin enshrined in Kanda Shrine, and Okunizushin is the leader of Kunitsu God. [Sanno Matsuri] is a festival to worship both, especially the guardian deity of Edo Castle, Oyamazagami.”

Hearing this, Asakura Saori asked strangely: "In this case, why does the [Shanno Festival] need to be held by the royal family, shouldn't it be held by the god's son and maiden?"

Yu Zhongming replied with an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth: "Of course it is to retain human beliefs and incense, so that Dashan Zeshen can't escape and recover!"

"What do you mean?" Asakura Saori thought of some possibilities.

"It's just what you think! Dashan Zhashen is a big tengu!" Yu Zhongming responded.

"[Kojiki] also records that there is a god named Hikota Saruta, with a nose seven feet long, a back more than seven feet high, a mouth and buttocks that shine, eyes like Yata mirrors and red sour sauce, and a red face. Can you imagine what?"

Saori Asakura said uncertainly, "Tengu? I know about this, and there are many voices of doubt in the academic world, but the Three Great Shrines have never admitted that His Highness Hikomei Saruta is a Tengu!"

Yu Zhongming shook his head, and explained to his miko, "They don't need to admit it. I told you that Jiufeng Ziyuan is a descendant of [Datengu], and was once [Datengu] and even the clan god of her family. And she is too The priestess of Ise Jingu Shrine is responsible for [Tamakushi Ouchi], a position that can only belong to the descendants of Saruta Hikomei --- the gods living in Takamahara must pass through [Tamakushi Ouchi] if they want to descend to divine power. It’s like Saruta Hikoomori’s guiding Tiansun to take over Ashihara China in Kojiki.”

"So [Datengu] is Saruta Hikomi."

"Someone once told me that the current [Ancient Matters] was compiled by Gao Tianyuan in order to define the positions of the gods. The position and priesthood of each god are determined in a clear book, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and cannot be changed."

"According to the clues I know, it can be inferred that thousands of years ago, Tenjin God and Kunitsu God fought in the Izumo area. Shiinezuhiko God, Dashanza God and Yuzhong family surrendered and rebelled together. Tianjin God won a big victory and swept Guojin God. After the victory , God Shiinetsuhiko was crossed the river and the bridge was demolished, the shrine maiden was slaughtered, and he had to become the evil god who ate blood sacrifices. And because Dashanza God had accumulated a lot in the first place, Amaterasu Dainichi God did not dare to provoke rashly, on the contrary, his divine power became stronger and stronger."

"495 years ago, he was welcomed into Edo Castle and became the patron saint of Edo. Later in the Edo period, he even became [Sanwang Kohiei], and he was in the limelight for a while."

"More than 100 years ago, the black ship broke through, and the shogunate returned to the emperor. After that, Edo was renamed Tokyo, and the concept of the god of the mountain and the "king of the mountain" gradually faded."

"After the start of the Second World Tide, Dashan Zeshen was inadvertently lured by the void and turned into a [big tengu] to wreak havoc in Tokyo, and was then sealed underground in Tokyo by [Ten Seals of Yin and Yang]."

"Afterwards, I edited [Kojiki] again, and wrote the part about Hikami Saruta, and forcibly added the godhead of Hikami Saruta to [Datengu], so that his authority to control the land of Kanto was lost."

"At the same time, every year [Sanno Sacrifice] is presided over by the royal family to harvest the belief of the Great Mountain God [Datengu] so that it cannot escape from the seal."

"Although there are still many speculative parts, they can already be connected together. The remaining parts only need to wait for about half an hour, and we will see the outcome."

"Half an hour?" Asakura Saori understood Yu Zhongming's meaning, but couldn't understand the meaning of this half an hour.

Yu Zhongming gulped down the tea in his cup and said with a smile: "After half an hour, after the completion of the "Regular Sacrifice Offering - Peaceful Prayer for the Guardians of the Imperial City" by Jiufeng Ziyuan, the son of the God of Dashan Zha [Datengu] , [Datengu] After absorbing the belief of this sacrifice, I will know where he is after he is unsealed and resurrected. "

"I used to think that the big tengu would be revived after unblocking, but I didn't expect that it was to restore the authority of the past. After all, there are two kinds of resurrection through the body, one is to occupy, just like today's big tengu occupies the body of the tengu who can't be killed The same, one is to give birth through the womb. Of the two, Jiufeng Ziyuan, as a woman, will not be occupied by the big tengu, the symbol of yang, and she has no obvious signs of pregnancy. So I didn’t treat her as an object of suspicion before. I thought it was the other high-ranking officials in the Hall of Souls who were following the instructions of the big tengu."

"But if she is the Miko Miko of Ootengu, who can listen to God's will anytime and anywhere, then it's a different matter."

"If my predictions are correct, the last seal of [Yin Seal] should have been broken in the Soul Pulling Hall. He deliberately left a seal so that he could unseal it on his own initiative. In this way, he can Absorb the faith of [Imperial City Grand Sacrifice] at the moment of unsealing, get rid of the body of demons and ghosts, and ascend to the throne of God again."

"Then why don't you kill Jiufeng Ziyuan now and destroy this sacrifice? Ming-jun, what are you waiting for?" Asakura Saori frowned slightly and asked suspiciously.

Yu Zhongming hesitated for a while and replied, "Because I still have some things to confirm, but I don't understand. I need to ask Ootengu."

"Ming-kun, as long as you do what you think is right, Saori, I will always support you." Asakura Saori leaned forward a little bit, covering the back of his hand with her small hand, soothing him gently: " No matter what, I'll be with you."

"Of course, my miko!"

Chapter 41 Tengu Daiichi

June 13, 6, suitable for worship/worship, sunny

6:30pm

Yuzhong Youyue sat in the command car and remained silent.

What happened within half an hour was too messy for him to keep up.

First of all, the Hyakki Hikari that ravaged the Chiyoda area disappeared in an instant.

The scourge he had seen in Qingshui Village [Black Yan Kai] appeared in Tokyo, and he beheaded the monk-clothed Tengu who was suspected of being the [Big Tengu] with a flick of his fingers.

The jade-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox turned into an 8- or 9-year-old human child, and was taken away by Misaka Naruto who later appeared in Chiyoda District.

In just half an hour, powerful disaster monsters appeared one after another.
