Chapter 561 Amaterasu, Game

Tokyo Daijingu Shrine is located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. The main deities enshrined are Amaterasu and Toyouke.

Amaterasu Omikami naturally refers to Amaterasu, the supreme god of Japanese Shintoism.

Toyouke-no-Okami, which is homophonic to “harvest”, is the goddess in charge of food. She is the deity enshrined in the Outer Palace of Ise Jingu Shrine.

Every year on July 7th, a Tanabata prayer festival is held at Tokyo Daijingu Shrine.

On the day of the festival, worshippers write their wishes on the Hikoboshi (Cowherd) short book or the Orihime (Weaver Girl) short book.

Then, priests and shrine maidens tie them onto small bamboo sticks and decorate them in front of the worship hall.

The Tokyo Daijingu Shrine is mentioned here because Amaterasu is enshrined here. As the most well-known deity in Japan, thousands of people rely on her. She is noble and honorable, so she is qualified to be an anchor.

I heard from the palace master there that he dreamt of the sun rising a few days ago, and that the goddess Amaterasu appeared.

Not knowing whether it is true or not, Xia Mo and Yuan Zhisheng went to visit the palace master to find out the truth.

Minamoto no Chisei is the Amaterasu of the Snake Eight Clan, and this title has been passed down from generation to generation. It is not the descendants of the White King of Japan who created “Amaterasu”, “Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto”, or “Susanoo-no-Mikoto”. These titles have existed for a long time.

Just like the myths of other regions, it is unclear who first wrote and spread them, and there are only a hundred schools of thought that flourish and contend with each other.

In fact, mythology is the final lament of the era of the destruction of civilization. In the country of Japan, in a certain reincarnation, there was an area called Takama-ga-hara, where some people who were later revered as gods lived.

The knowledge that you see and take for granted today has been accumulated bit by bit. Human civilization may have been built on the skeletons of thousands of civilizations, and their shadows of the past can be found everywhere.

Back to the topic, Xia Mo and Yuan Zhisheng went to meet the master of Tokyo Daijingu Shrine the next day. It was difficult for ordinary people to meet the master, but this did not include the shadow emperor of Tokyo.

In a guest room, Xia Mo and Yuan Zhisheng asked the palace master some questions.

The Palace Master said with certainty that Amaterasu “awoke”, especially since the talk of revival of spiritual energy has been popular recently. How can it be said that Shintoism is not a religion? If you have made it to the position of Palace Master, you have to believe in something.

God may not exist, but it is unlikely that God does not exist.

Xia Mo asked the palace master if she had any more details and whether the other party said anything about her dream about Amaterasu.

The palace master replied that he dreamed of the sun rising in the night sky, and then saw the sun set and enter the body of a young girl. The girl who was possessed must be the shrine maiden chosen by Amaterasu.

The palace master is looking for the girl.

Xia Mo and Yuan Zhisheng looked at each other and asked the Palace Master if he had seen the girl’s appearance clearly.

The palace master answered honestly that the sunlight was too bright and he couldn’t see clearly.

Xia Mo was speechless.

After leaving Tokyo Daijingu, Xia Mo talks with Yuan Zhisheng.

“Do you think the Palace Master’s statement is reliable?” Yuan Zhisheng asked.

“I don’t think he’s trying to trick us. Amaterasu might be a god of faith. Even though she’s not the same person she once was, there are still believers who worship her. This creates a connection, and it’s not surprising that the palace master received her revelation.”

“Maybe the abbot of the temple can dream of Sakyamuni.” Xia Mo spread her hands.

“Why did Amaterasu possess a young girl?” Yuan Zhisheng thought, “This is similar to the resurrection of the White King. Could it be that he didn’t possess a body but turned into a young girl and wandered around Japan?”

“Then it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. We can only hope that she will reveal herself,” Xia Mo pondered. “As far as I know, when you wake up from reincarnation, you will lose some memories. Amaterasu may be in a state of amnesia and doesn’t know that she is Amaterasu.”

After hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng said, “I don’t know what Amaterasu’s attitude is towards the country that believes in her.”

“It doesn’t matter, I will take action.”

Yuan Zhisheng shrugged. He was already a civilian employee. After all, his younger brothers and sisters were many times better than him in fighting.

Alas, I used to be the representative of the invincible and unrivaled. Yuan Zhisheng was melancholy and missed his lost youth.

Xia Mo wants to find Amaterasu, but she doesn’t know when she will find her by herself, so this task has to be left to Kaguya-hime. The girl herself is a clue, and Kaguya-hime will search for girls within a certain age range.

To put it bluntly, if Amaterasu didn’t have any special fetishes, the possessed girl would definitely be quite good-looking.

This is another batch of screening.

Even so, it is a huge number.

Then, by searching the Internet information of these girls around the time when the Palace Master had the dream, Xia Mo thought that they might be the same as herself:
“Question: If one day I travel through time and become a dragon, what should I do, friends?”

Xia Mo posted on Tieba that a certain blue platform was only launched in 11, which is this year.

Only government agencies have the authority to arbitrarily collect chat records and other information, but the powerful Kaguya can bypass the government’s firewall and do whatever she wants.

Soon, the range was reduced a lot.

Fortunately, this project was done by artificial intelligence, otherwise people would have to work overtime to the point of vomiting blood.

During the few days that Xia Mo was waiting for good news, she ate and drank as usual and did not show any signs of depression at all. Teacher Daye’s talk therapy and physical therapy were very effective and her dopamine secretion was very high.

Eri took a few days off to play this year’s Battlefield 3 with her sister Xia. They swept the battlefield and completed the game with one life.

By the way, I am looking forward to the upcoming release of “Dark Soul”. I heard that it has a brand new gameplay and high difficulty. It is worth looking forward to. As a game geek, Eri naturally doesn’t want to miss it.

Xia Mo has never played Dark Souls, but she has played Dark Souls 3. It was her first time playing a soul-like game, and she felt that sometimes the minions were harder to beat than the bosses, which made people feel red-hot. Later, after she finished the game, she could only say that she had some experience.

Xia Mo is several versions ahead of Eri, but she won’t say it. Deep down, she is looking forward to playing a two-word game with Eri one day. No, it’s a four-word game.

In short, time will not stop. Sooner or later, it will come to the year before Xia Mo traveled through time. By then, Xia Mo will no longer be a “future person” and can move towards a more unpredictable tomorrow with everyone.

The premise is that Xia Mo is still by everyone’s side.

……

Eri can’t take a few days off, she still has to go to school and be a good student.

Xia Mo drove Eri to school. This was Eri’s request, so that she could show off and let her friends at school know what a good sister she had.

The plain Bentley stopped in front of the high school gate. Eri got out from the passenger seat. Xia Mo rolled down the window to wish Eri a nice day, and naturally revealed her face. The other JKs saw a face that could make them dream of kicking out their secret crush at night.

Xia Mo’s [Queen Bee] talent is here, but as Xia Mo becomes stronger, the effects become more diverse, such as the worship of the strong.

I am timid in front of the strong, but I strike hard in front of the weak.

It refers to the charm value. The former is to protect yourself, and the latter is to charm others to work for you.
