Chapter 292 The Heaven and the Earth Are Great, but the Goddess Is the Greatest
“A great auspicious sign suddenly fell in Tokyo!”, “Snowless Tokyo – a gift from the gods”, “Emperor Meiji once again protects his people!”, “The Meiji Shrine will hold a once-in-a-century ceremony to confer the gods at 10 o’clock tonight”…
In less than half a day, news related to Meiji Jingu Shrine began to spread rapidly.
In many news reports, the priest Amami, who was in charge of external speeches at Meiji Jingu Shrine, wore a light blue priest uniform, had a decent smile on his face, and calmly responded to questions from multiple news media.
A god appeared in the Meiji Shrine. It was this god who exerted his supreme power to disperse the flying snow and prevent Tokyo from being invaded by the snow again.
At 10 o’clock tonight, the Meiji Shrine will hold an unprecedented grand ceremony to deify the gods, one for the purpose of deifying the gods, and the other for the purpose of warding off disasters and praying for blessings.
Such news quickly spread throughout Tokyo and even the whole of Japan.
Especially the believers and tourists who had previously stayed in the Meiji Shrine, they believed it firmly and began to speak out on various social media.
Soon, many famous shrines and shrines expressed their optimism and blessings for Meiji Jingu’s actions when interviewed by the media.
Some shrines even bluntly stated that Shintoism will take this as a starting point and will be revived for hundreds of years!
Some tabloid reporters also came to Tsukimi Shrine to interview.
They originally thought that Tsukimi Shrine would just send a young priest to be interviewed, but they did not expect that the Omae priest of Tsukimi Shrine would take the initiative to accept the interview.
Moreover, in front of the news media, he bluntly stated that the Meiji Shrine’s actions were tantamount to inviting a tiger into the house, which would cause endless harm.
Such remarks, which were contrary to the mainstream media’s voice, immediately attracted questions from tabloid reporters.
But after the Omaeji priest finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind a few young priests who knew nothing about anything to block the media reporters.
Only after returning to his tea room did Omiyaji breathe a sigh of relief.
He personally didn’t care about the crazy behavior of Meiji Jingu Shrine at all. In the end, it would be Meiji Jingu Shrine itself that would destroy itself.
That group of people actually wanted to enshrine the Seven Evil Lords as gods. This is simply crazy!
He even suspected that several old priests of Meiji Shrine were bewitched by the Seven Lords of Sin, which led to their irrational behavior.
Originally, he did not want to speak in front of the media, as this would be tantamount to singing a different tune from the Meiji Shrine, but the goddess specifically asked him to come forward and express his position.
There is no way, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the goddess is the biggest.
“Something’s wrong, something’s wrong…”
Daijo Miyaji drank a cup of tea, thought seriously for a while, his face changed slightly, and he immediately left the tea room and came under the osmanthus tree.
As the goddess’s cultivation improved, she no longer had to wait until night to appear, and could appear at will during the day.
At this moment, the goddess was sitting on the osmanthus tree, looking towards the direction of Meiji Shrine.
The Grand Secretary only glanced at it, then lowered his head slightly and said respectfully: “Goddess, the things you asked have been done.”
“Yes, Not Bad.”
“Goddess, you probably just simply hate the Meiji Shrine, right?”
“What do you want to say?”
“Are you going to stop the Meiji Shrine’s Consecration Ceremony tonight?”
The Grand Priest Daijo asked the question that he was most worried about. It would be fine if it was just an open question, but if they really went to the Conferred God Ceremony to cause trouble, that would be a real fallout and a fight to the death.
“Haven’t you always hoped that I would pay more attention to Shinto affairs?”
“…”
The Grand Priest was speechless for a moment, and smiled awkwardly: “But isn’t this way of caring too radical? We can take a more moderate attitude…”
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jingu Yaezakura in a cold voice, “I am a goddess. Since I was born, I must do something earth-shattering.”
“Can you try a smaller target?”
The Grand Lord tried to fight for it again.
“Can Tsukimi Shrine change its deity?”
Hearing this, the Grand Priest was instantly startled, and immediately stood up straight, solemnly stating, “Everything is up to the Goddess!”
As the night deepened, Tokyo, which was not covered by snow, was bustling in every area.
People who were almost suffocated by the heavy snow went out to play in the streets, and the lights were dim, illuminating the night sky. At Weilian Ancient Temple, Ruyi and others watched the news on TV while calling Pinggong Qianye, but no one answered the phone and they didn’t get a call back.
“Perhaps Master Liansheng didn’t bring his cell phone with him on this trip?”
Ruyi said softly, and Akechi Mitsuhide and Takeda Saburo were silent. This kind of thing was normal for Hiramiya Chiye.
“How should we deal with the matter at Meiji Jingu Shrine?”
“Go and see.”
“it is good.”
After discussion, Saburo Takeda and Mitsuhide Akechi went out, while Ruyi stayed in the temple waiting for news.
The Weilian Ancient Temple today is different from before. There is a Xiaoqing who is devoted to practicing in the backyard.
When Takeda Saburo and Akechi Mitsuhide walked out of the temple gate, they came towards Iori Fubuki, Iori Miyaji, and Inugami, who were carrying sword cases.
Iori Fubuki raised an eyebrow and glanced at the two of them, “You guys are going to Meiji Shrine?”
“I’m getting ready to go.”
After receiving a positive answer, Iori Fubuki nodded, “Then let’s go together.”
The group got into Iori Miyaji’s car together. Iori Fubuki sat in the passenger seat, while Inugami, Takeda Saburo, and Akechi Mitsuhide sat in the back seat.
“What! Meiji Jingu actually intends to enshrine the Seven Sinners as gods!”
After a brief conversation, Saburo Takeda and Mitsuhide Akechi realized the importance of tonight’s event.
They originally wanted to investigate the situation and see if the Meiji Shrine was shameless enough to take the credit for clearing up the snowstorm that should have belonged to Heimiya Chiye.
I didn’t expect it was related to the Lord of the Seven Sins!
“I think Master Liansheng will also go to Meiji Shrine tonight.”
Iori Fubuki was very sure about this, so she took the Manjusri sword and went to Meiji Shrine to wait in advance.
If Master Liansheng did not arrive in time, she would not mind doing it herself and let the Seven Sinners try the sharpness of the Manjusri Sword again.
“After all, Meiji Jingu is a famous Shinto shrine…” Takeda Saburo said hesitantly.
Iori Fubuki waved her hand and said, “Not everyone in Shintoism agrees with this.”
“We must not let the Seven Sinners succeed in becoming gods.” Iori Miyaji, who was driving, also expressed his opinion.
Saburo Takeda and Mitsuhide Akechi didn’t say anything else, and soon the car arrived at the Shibuya district where the Meiji Shrine is located.
There was a serious traffic jam on the road about 10 kilometers away from Meiji Jingu Shrine, so it was impossible to drive there and we had to walk.
“There are too many people tonight!”
After getting off the bus, Akechi Mitsuhide and others looked at the dark crowd around them and felt a little depressed.
When there are too many people, it’s hard to move freely.
If any conflict occurs, who knows how many innocent people will be affected.
“Perhaps all of this is part of the Meiji Shrine’s plan. With so many people, there are more concerns.”
Iori Fubuki also had a heavy expression on her face. She waved to Iori Miyaji who had parked his car, and when he came closer, she asked him if he could ask the government departments to evacuate the crowd near Meiji Jingu Shrine.
Iori Miyaji sighed and said, “When it comes to contacting government departments, Meiji Jingu is the boss. Our words are useless.”
Having said that, Miyaji Iori still called his friend Shinji Mikami.
“I also don’t have the right to disperse the people near the Meiji Shrine. There are higher-ups watching here, so you better be careful.”
Shinji Mikami simply replied with this and hung up the phone.
This is a warning.
Iori Miyaji pondered for a moment, put away his phone, looked at Iori Fubuki and said seriously: “Fubuki, remember not to act rashly later, wait for Master Liansheng to arrive.”
Iori Fubuki just nodded, and the group followed the crowd nearby and walked towards the Meiji Shrine.
