Looking at the exquisite statues in the side room, the Emperor of the Shrine had mixed emotions.

Some people may be in awe of clergymen like him, believing that they are favored by gods and have extraordinary qualities that ordinary people cannot imagine.

However, even though they all sat in the position of Palace Secretary, Shen Gong Zhiqin could only feel a sense of despair.

After all, they are all illusory products of human speculation...

Jingu Zhiqin is not a lazy person. After being helped by Jingu's mother-in-law, he also studied hard, and now he can be said to be erudite and knowledgeable.

The more he can learn and understand, the more he can understand the helplessness of the so-called clergy.

He doesn't know if this is the case in other countries, but the Supreme God of the Palace can guarantee that the entire so-called shrine and temple in Neon are basically nonsense...

Sigh.

I thought of the priest at Ise Shrine.

That one already belongs to the pinnacle of the clergy.

Two generations of emperors personally endorsed it, saying that the priest was extraordinary, and there were even "miracles" that were caught in the wind by various media.

So, is this the way out for your future?

To be a "liar" known to the world?

With a tangled mentality, I began to struggle internally.

If there are no more "miracles", "miracles", or endorsements from dignitaries, the position of the palace minister will probably be burned...

"Father... Lord Palace Secretary, Grandma Jingu..."

At this time, a little girl hurried over, Suzuki Mitsuki, the daughter of Jingu Zhiqin.

He is not yet qualified to inherit the Jingu surname.

Jin Gong Zhiqin's brows suddenly stood up coldly.

"What happened to Grandma Jingu!?"

"...It's the two new celebrity models. Grandma Shengong seems to be very dissatisfied. This..."

Shen Gong Zhiqin understood it instantly.

As a stubborn old mother-in-law, she most likely would not tolerate the "deviant" style of those young people.

However, if it was just such a trivial matter, Shen Gong Zhiqin was secretly relieved.

Grandma Jingu raised him as a grandson since he was a child. Even his father was raised by Grandma Jingu.

Therefore, this is not just a simple favor that pushed him to the top.

Moreover, Grandma Jingu is a well-known Taishan-level figure in the entire clergy circle.

If she was willing, even if she directly kicked open the door of Ise Shrine and said that she was the priest of this generation, no one would dare to refute, and they could only pinch their noses and put the priest's crown on the shrine's mother-in-law.

This is also the main reason why the mother-in-law of Jingu can promote Jingu to the throne.

Being highly virtuous and respected is not just a matter of words.

If something goes wrong with her, even if Shen Gongzhiqin loses a loved one, the palace minister will take the initiative to kick him down.

To put it bluntly, Grandma Jingu is the biggest supporter of Jingu Zhiqin.

but……

The people in the shrine sighed quietly.

The old man is too old after all...

Chapter 193: Fooling someone into lameness

Soon, Shen Gong Zhiqin could only run to the side of Shen Gong's mother-in-law and say all kinds of good things.

In an inner chamber of the shrine, Jingu Zhiqin looked embarrassed when he thought that the two little girls were not very good-looking, and he was about to cry.

If she is a model or a celebrity, she will be reported by the media.

If any scandal were to spread, it would not only cause damage to the reputation of the palace mother-in-law, but also make her position as palace minister even more precarious.

"Mother-in-law, you better not get angry with those young people. You also know that it is not easy to recruit witches in shrines nowadays..."

He reluctantly persuaded the squinting old man, he couldn't afford to offend this ancestor.

"Hmph! It's because of weak palace ministers like you that the shrine has fallen into despair! Show me what your own father did!?"

Facing the old man's stern scolding, Shen Gong Zhiqin could only smile bitterly along with him.

But he can't either.

He himself didn't know how his father managed the shrine. Without the endorsement of dignitaries and the media's speculation, he still managed to make the shrine famous.

This is also an important reason why Jingu Zhiqin once worshiped his father.

He determined that his father had some mysterious means.

But he had been rummaging through his old father's belongings for many years, but he had never found anything related to the occult.

Looking at the "grandson" who could only smile bitterly with the burden on his body, Grandma Jingu seemed to be even more annoyed.

She was so angry that she pointed at the palace minister's nose and cursed.

"You weak and incompetent thing! Do you really want to join forces with those politicians? Do you know... cough cough cough cough...!!!"

"Mother-in-law!? What's wrong with you, mother-in-law!?"

Seeing the mother-in-law of Shen Gong shaking with anger and even starting to cough violently, Shen Gong Zhiqin's heart tightened and he quickly expressed concern and greetings.

What he saw was a pool of blood on the dry hand covering his mouth, which was so shocking.

The emperor of the shrine was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Mother-in-law, I'm going to call the emergency number right now. You..."

"no need!"

The mother-in-law of Jingu looked at the blood stains, and was stunned for a moment. She was silent for a long time, and then sighed quietly. She saw that the emperor of Jingu was very uneasy, and then waved her hands expressionlessly.

"It's all an old problem..."

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and glanced sideways at Suzuki Mizuki, who had been standing aside from the beginning to the end, not daring to speak and could only lower his head and pretend to be dead.

"Let's go, follow up, it's time to hand over some things to you..."

With that vigorous pace, Shen Gong Zhiqin couldn't see that Shen Gong's mother-in-law was about to die just after coughing violently, so she could only put down her worries secretly.

He knew the temper of Grandma Jingu, so he couldn't persuade her, and there was nothing she could do to persuade her.

but……

something?Is it time to leave it to me?

Jin Gong Zhiqin was a little confused.

But Suzuki Mitsuki, who was next to Jingu Zhiqin, suddenly turned red.

"Father, father!"

The trembling voice woke up the confused Shen Gong Zhiqin. Looking at his daughter's slightly agitated and excited face, Shen Gong Zhiqin's heart skipped a beat.

Some kind of speculation that made my mouth dry, seemed to slowly gather the remaining sense of expectation in these years.

Is it...

After all, he had been sitting in the position of palace minister for so long. The emperor of the palace calmed down and signaled his daughter to stay here and be ready to report news at any time.

You know, for him as Gong Si Gan, Gong Si Quan, Mi Yi, Quan Mi Yi and other senior officials are not very convinced...

After that, suppressing some kind of expectation, he hurriedly followed.

Maybe what the old man wants to say is not what he thinks at all?

Shengong Zhiqin didn't expect to be too disappointed at that time.

Following behind, they passed through the courtyard. Under the clear sky, the breeze blew in the face. Occasionally, a cherry blossom petal fell, and the cherry blossoms danced with laughter, which made the witches annoyed and complaining.

Miss Ayase and Miss Kanna couldn't help but murmur.

Does the old man have such a high status?

Even the palace minister has to be one position behind?

Pass through the worship hall in front of the courtyard and arrive at the main hall at the deepest part of the shrine.

This place is generally not open to the public. If there is no big event, even clergy are not allowed to enter without permission.

Moreover, this is also the place where the Supreme Emperor of the Shrine was crowned and became a palace minister.

The old man's stooped body walked very fast, as fast as flying. Even the emperor of the palace felt a little unable to catch up.

I was paying attention to this situation with my heart beating, and I could only hear the old man's heartfelt words.

"Zhiqin, you should think about it carefully. Many times, the road can only go forward, there is no turning back, and there is no room for regret.

If you don't want to, I won't blame you. It might be a good thing to live your life honestly..."

Hearing those words that were full of profound meaning, Shen Gong Zhiqin couldn't help but hold his hands tightly on his back, and for a moment, cold sweat broke out on his palms.

He didn't know why he was so nervous and anxious.

But in this atmosphere, those whimsical conjectures that should have been given up long ago were rushing through my mind like crazy at this moment.

Let out a deep breath.

Shengong Zhiqin knew that if he did not find out the truth, he would never feel at ease in his life.

"Mother-in-law, is it true that our shrine has any secret inheritance as people say?"

Deliberately trying in a lighthearted and joking tone, the heartbeat of Shen Gong Zhiqin resounded shamefully in this quiet place.

"Ah……"

The old man smiled noncommittally, pushed the door open and walked in, taking the lead and sitting on the main seat of the hall.

In the blink of an eye, the old man's face became extremely serious, and after signaling the Shrine Master to close the door of the main hall, he shouted loudly in the somewhat dim main hall.

"Zhiqin! Kneel down!"

Before the emperor of the palace could react, the loud shout of the mother-in-law of the palace was like an echo, shaking the whole hall.

In a daze, there seemed to be some hazy white mist in front of Shen Gong Zhiqin's eyes.

Behind the tall and tall Goddess of God, there was a huge pure white figure crawling.

That holy and vast meaning turned into the most profound shock and shock in my heart.

The dim main hall was filled with endless soft light.

The Inari god in the center of the main hall is obviously becoming more solemn and solemn.

At this moment, the head of the palace prince was buzzing.

Instinctively, he knelt down in front of the shrine's mother-in-law. His hands were trembling. He wanted to prostrate himself three times, but found that he couldn't even make the gesture of worship.

His lips were trembling, and he greedily remembered the scene in front of him in his heart.

He has waited too long...

He has waited too long! !

It turned out to be true.

It turns out that everything is true! ! !

Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes involuntarily, and the Supreme King of the Shrine trembled and kowtowed his head several times.

"Unworthy disciple—Inari Daimikami's ruling palace minister—the most powerful person in the shrine, I bow before the ceremony!!!"

That heart that was filled with shock, longing, and excitement reached its peak at this moment, and was born to a higher peak.

At this moment, he unreservedly vented the grievances he had suffered over the years, as well as the doubts of others and his own doubts about himself.

He was embarrassed by his "ignorance."

I feel sorry for the ignorance and fearlessness of the world.
