Having said that, the middle-aged man who acted as a driver for a while walked in front, leading the way for everyone.
In front of the gate of Toshogu Shrine, surrounded by cedar trees on the left and right, you can see the Ichino Torii gate.
If you walk in like this, you will find Toshogu Shrine, to the right is Nikko Shan Rinnoji Temple, and deep to the left is Futarasan Shrine.
"So, Liliana, how was your stay tonight?"
"Well... I have reserved a room nearby. In order not to disturb so many people, I found a mid-level hotel nearby."
To Shirou's question, Liliana answered very competently.
The personality that likes to pay attention to details is especially suitable for this kind of affairs.
In this regard, she is the complete opposite of Erica.
"Well, that's it."
After nodding, Shirou turned his attention to the road ahead.
"Hey, Lily, I want to go to an outdoor hot spring like an open-air bath that you can enter wearing a yukata. It's convenient to serve the 'King' at night and have a happy bath together under the stars."
With a cheerful smile on her face, Erica said.
This blond girl is particularly skilled in politics, strategy, and negotiation, and can also expand her horizons to understand the economy.
But without the delicate work of general affairs, chores, and cooking, and such an economic concept, it is possible to do it, but it is estimated that it will never be done.
"The place where we stay tonight can reserve an open-air bath. Reservation is required. If the 'King' needs it, I will prepare it..."
Although Liliana was a little unhappy with Erica's idea, she also knew her position, so she asked Shirou.
Chapter 84 Trip to Xitian Palace
Under the watchful eyes of the following witches and members of the [Original History Compilation Committee], Shirou still felt slightly embarrassed to say in front of everyone that he would go to the bathhouse tonight to have fun.
"Just follow the original plan."
Hearing Shirou's words, Erica secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she showed a somewhat sad expression on the surface.
"Hey...that's it...I originally wanted to drag Liliana along."
"What!? Erica, you bastard...!!"
Liliana's face suddenly turned red with anger. She had a new understanding of this woman's shamelessness, but she felt helpless and made her very uncomfortable.
.
And Yuri Wanligu, who has a more serious personality, has become accustomed to this special relationship between them, and is too lazy to say anything to them at this moment.
While they were bickering, everyone had already arrived at the gate of the shrine.
"Everyone, this is the shrine of Xitian Temple."
Amakusa Touma introduced to the crowd.
"In that case, Wan Yuri, didn't you say that you have been to this palace before?"
Yuri nodded to Erica's words.
"Well, I came here once when I became a Priestess, but I only entered the main hall, not the ancestral temple."
Yuri pointed at the torii gate of Toshogu Shrine without hesitation.
Behind her were Princess Alice and Shirou who were looking at the building in a strange way.
"How do you feel about this place?" Shirou asked the girl standing beside him.
"Well... it's not bad, it gives people a strong ancient style."
Alice pursed her lips and smiled.
"Is that so..."
Shirou raised an eyebrow.
Nikko Toshogu Shrine is a spiritual temple built to honor the deified Tokugawa Ieyasu and Tosho Taiquan.
It is a very luxurious and gorgeous shrine that is often visited by people on school trips.
Looking at the five-story pagoda, climbing the stone steps, crossing the torii gate, and entering the worship hall through the famous Yangmingmen, the main hall, and then entering the Okusha is a regular route.
However, Yuri walked towards an unremarkable building on the way.
When it comes to Toshogu Shrine, it should be a luxurious space built with a modern amount equivalent to tens of billions of dollars.
Gives the impression of fine gold carvings, delicate objects.
But there was a small, unadorned hut.
It is very different from the five-storied pagoda and the gates that I have seen so far, but there are tourists, and it is unexpectedly a popular spot.
"I always feel that only this place is different from other places, and other places are running out of money."
For this cabin, Shirou can only give this evaluation.
"This is the stables of the gods... the building that Toshogu has the most affinity with the gods." Yuri replied.
Hearing these words, Shirou looked towards the fence outside the stable, where two horses were tied.
And on the front side wall of the building, there are carved monkey portraits from one end to the other.
There were more than a dozen monkeys with closed eyes, monkeys with closed mouths, covering their ears, sitting, looking up at the sky, and lying on their backs.
"Since ancient times, there have been rumors that monkeys can cure diseases of horses, so this horse house is full of monkeys."
Yuri said.
"West Heaven Palace is only a part of Nikko Tosho Palace. It is a sanctuary for independent worship of different species of gods. The gods worshiped by West Heaven Palace are called "Monkey Gods", the incarnation of monkeys and the protectors of dragons. I only Knowing this..."
Why do monkeys shelter dragons?
Although it is known that the prototype of "Monkey King" is taken from the Monkey King Monkey King in Journey to the West, but whether this one is genuine or not, Shirou can't judge.
"I just hope my strength won't let me down..."
After mumbling that, Shirou followed Yuri to the vast forest behind the shrine.
This is the middle area leading to Futarayama Shrine and Toshogu Shrine, and it is not noticeable, so dozens of tourists don't notice it.
Everyone followed behind Yuri, and after entering the woods for ten minutes, the direction had become blurred.
Thankfully, the entrance to the ancient shrine was eventually found.
"Welcome, we have been waiting for you for a long time."
The one who came out to greet him was Kufatsuka Mikihiko, who was wearing a priestly costume at the moment.
"We at Jiubozhong Shrine are very proud of the arrival of the 'King'. Soon the door of the temple will be opened, ready for the Lord to meet you. Please wait a little longer."
Kufatsuka Mikihiko said respectfully.
Hearing this, Shirou frowned.
"Did you just say to meet the gods?"
"Yes, we already know the purpose of your coming here. Although we want to discourage you, but think carefully, for the safety of Jiufazhong's family, it is better to do so."
"It's really interesting." Shirou couldn't help but sigh.
He just said that he wanted to come here, and has this family panicked so much?
However, this young man named Kufatsuka Mikihiko, in his gestures, was already aware of the strangeness in Shirou's eyes.
But he didn't expose it deliberately, but planned to wait for the mastermind behind the scenes to jump out and take the blame.
"Then, let that sorceress come over."
Following the words of Kufatsuka Mikihiko, it didn't take long for a petite girl in a red and white witch costume to come here.
She has short brown shoulder-length hair, and wears a red hairpin on her head. She has a slender and small figure, and her cheeks look fair and tender, as if she is still underage.
"Light?"
Seeing the person coming, Yuri immediately stepped forward.
The female miko who appeared is the younger sister of Yuri Banriya. She is only 1 year old this year.
1 is old.
As Yuri's younger sister, a trainee shrine maiden, she was brought here because she possesses the ability to ward off disasters by removing magical and magical powers.
In preparation for the meeting with the god, Wanli Guguang put on a shrine maiden's costume.
"...'King', when we meet for the first time, just call me Xiaoguang."
This young miko came to Shirou nervously, her small hands shyly folded on her lower abdomen, and bowed.
"Well, let's go."
Shirou nodded.
"Ok."
The girl immediately stood up, and then led Shirou to the temple.
"Speaking of which, 100 years ago, after the last liberation of the Divine Lord, all those connected with Xitian Palace were blown away, and this shrine was rebuilt only after that."
Amazuki Touma held a document in his hand and reported to Shilanghui.
"Let the 'God of Disobedience' that was finally sealed escape, and what's more, will the released god really come back on his own?"
Shirou was amused.
"That's right, and the reason for coming back is because the magic power gathered from the sanctuaries in various parts of Dongying has become the divine power of Dongzhao Daquan, which binds the "monkey god", even if he goes out to riot, he will only return in the end. Accept the seal here."
"No matter how many magicians gather together, they can't defeat the 'God of Disobedience'. This should be the rule of this world, right?"
Hearing this question, Amakusa Touma also seemed a little weird.
"Indeed, it shouldn't have been possible, but for some reason, it seems that this mechanism has unexpectedly succeeded because of the wisdom of the ancient magicians."
While they were talking, Yuri Banrigani also came over.
"'King', can you please take me to the 'Monkey God'?"
Yuri pleaded with a determined expression.
Chapter 85 Monkey King
"That would be very dangerous."
Shirou reminded.
"It's not okay for the 'King' to follow you at risk for the sake of my sister, while I hide in a safe place. I'm begging you."
Yuri spoke sincerely.
"That's fine, but if you don't listen to me and act on your own, you'll die."
Shirou nodded slightly, agreeing.
"Well, I see."
Yuri nodded happily, and then followed Shirou's side very obediently, like a close-fitting maid.
Amazuki Touma has no right to enter, so he can only wait outside.
Although he is a member of the [Official History Compilation Committee], he is also an unrelated person outside the Xitian Palace, so he is not qualified to go in and meet the "God of Disobedience".
At the same time that Shirou and Yuri Banriya entered the shrine, Shirou noticed the package wrapped in cloth that Banriya Yuri was holding in his arms.
"Light, what's that in your arms?"
The girl heard Shirou's question and immediately answered with a smile.
"'King', this is the 'Dragon-Slaying Sword'. "
Kuhozuka Mikihiko immediately answered. “The curse power stored in the ‘Dragon-Slaying Sword’ should be the strongest in the entire Xitian Palace. "
After hearing this, Erica reached out and took the "Dragon-Slaying Sword" from Guang's arms, held it easily in her hand, and then waved it twice.
The blond girl, who has always been with the sword, immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Apart from the power of the curse, the material of steel and the technique of forging the sword are all the best... Is this really the magic sword that has unlocked the seal of the 'Monkey God'?"
There was a hint of doubt in Erica's tone.
"I'm ashamed to say this..." Mikihiko Kuhozuka smiled awkwardly. "Although it's called the 'Dragon-Slaying Sword', it is still more symbolic than practical after all. The ancestors probably didn't think much about it and just found a samurai sword and started making it..."
