I just want to be in love quickly and cheaply

"Next we're going to the airport. The air tickets have already been booked. It's faster to fly directly there. There will be a car to pick you up when we get there."

After getting in the car, Ah Tianfang Meng handed over two air tickets.

"This one is from here, and this one is for the return journey. Kato-san, please check if there is any problem."

"No."

Someone took the ticket away after looking it over.

At this time, the car has already driven to Haneda Airport, where they will take a Japan Airlines plane all the way to Nagoya, and then take a bus to Ise City, and go to Ise Jingu, the most famous shrine in Japan.

At the same time, two groups of people also headed towards the apex of this ancient Japanese shrine in different ways for different purposes, the shrine dedicated to the Yata mirror, one of the three imperial artifacts.

102. Ise Grand Shrine Day Trip 1

Japan's shrine main office was established in 1946. It is a religious legal person that commands 79191 shrines across Japan, more than 2 priests (teachers), and more than 9347 million believers.

Although the purpose of the establishment of this organization is theoretically to eliminate the political influence of Shintoism, in fact, the main hall of the shrine, which once existed as a national Shinto, no matter how much it is labeled as a folk, it cannot escape the deep political influence behind it. shadow.

You must know that the predecessor of the main office of the shrine was originally called the Shrine Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and later it was upgraded to the Shinjin Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Foreign Affairs, and the president was directly concurrently held by the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Even the current main hall of the shrine is a powerful force that cannot be ignored in Japan's political and economic circles. It is not only bound by secular interests, but also has the bonus of religious belief.

The reason why Katojue agreed to Atianfangmeng's request was because he wanted to see the foundation of this religious mountain.

Atianfangmeng's grandfather has the rank of net rank, which is also the highest among the five ranks of the priesthood. If you want to have this rank, it is not enough to have the qualifications, and you need to pass the rank of all ranks. The committee's selection and verification, in contrast, the other ranks, Ming Rank, Zheng Rank, Quan Zheng Rank, and Zhi Rank, can be awarded through "trial verification" or "no trial verification".

Generally speaking, if you want to be a representative of a shrine, that is, a palace secretary (which can be understood as the god master, or the abbot of a temple), you must at least have the right to be a senior rank.

As for the clergy in the main hall of the shrine, there are more than 2 people in the whole country, of which there are only more than [-] people in the net rank, and each of them can be called a high position and weight.

Ise Shrine is a shrine located at the top of 79191 shrines in Japan. The gods enshrined in its inner palace are the supreme god Amaterasu Omikami in Japanese myths and legends. They guard the whole of Japan and are also the main hall of the shrine. Religion Status and political status are extraordinary.

On the night of Friday, May 5, a granddaughter of a net class led a young man into the most sacred palace leisurely from under the torii gate of the approach.

"Try it, the rice and vegetables here are all produced by the shrine itself, and the cooking water is also taken from the well of the upper Mii Shrine. Even the salt is homemade, and even the cooking fire is made by drilling wood. Light up."

As a local in a certain sense, A Tianfang Meng took his junior and introduced the origin of the meal in front of him by the way.

If this meal is placed in China, it can be blown up to the sky.

The cleanest food, the god's food, the spirit of craftsman, and the worship of God with faith.

However, in Mr. Kato's opinion, this meal is not enough for him, and the taste is not particularly suitable for someone's appetite.

Getting a good score is purely for free.

He looked around. This place is indeed the master of Shintoism in Japan. There is no problem with the creation of religious atmosphere, and it deeply reflects the taste of tranquility and seclusion.

At this time, Atianfangmeng also changed into a set of priestess costumes. This senior sister with a round face and always squinted her eyes wore this outfit with a bit more Buddha-like feeling-this is a bit like Shintoism. Confused, Kato Jue suspected that if she betrayed and went to Japanese Buddhism, she could set up a temple on the spot to enshrine herself and become a living female Bodhisattva.

"How does it feel here?"

After someone finished eating and drank another cup of tea, A Tian Fang Meng asked leisurely.

"From the perspective of religious holy places, it is well-deserved. From the perspective of production efficiency, I can only say that it is worthy of religion."

What Kato Jue said was already very euphemistic.

There is a tradition in Ise Jingu Shrine called Shikien Shrine. The shrine itself implements the replacement system. The inner palace and the outer palace retain two pieces of land for the shrine hall of the same size. Every 20 years, the shrine hall is rebuilt on another piece of land according to the ancient method. Then move over.

The scale of Shikinen moved to the palace is so large that the staff of Ise Shrine had to cut down trees 10 years in advance, and the demolished old palace used to be burned directly.It is said that this is done to keep the shrine clean and free from contamination.

However, from someone's point of view, it is very appropriate to toss and waste these four-character comments.

According to the specifications of Ise Jingu Shrine, the reconstruction requires large trees of a considerable age, and there are even records of thousand-year-old trees. These precious trees are cut down like this, and then burned to ashes in the fire. The degree of waste is even comparable to that of Americans. Call experts.

Of course, as a religious occasion, and it is a large religious occasion, it is normal to have such a ceremony to show one's own status.

It's just that he thinks it's a waste, and it's a pity.

While Kato Jue was communicating with A Tianfang Meng, another group of people went up the mountain. Although they were blocked at first, they were also allowed to go after the leader showed a certificate.

After this group of people went up, a woman also went up the mountain by showing her ID.

Because tomorrow Ise Shrine will hold two festivals, the Fengri Prayer Festival and the God Clothes Festival, these two performances can be said to be of great importance, and the shrine itself also has a meeting to be held on May 5th. One night, it can be said that many people did not sleep well.

The next day, the weather was fine.

This is not necessarily a good thing for the sacrificial priests. Although a sunny day has a good meaning, it is inevitable that the sun will be uncomfortable, but a cloudy day will be more comfortable.

It's just that no matter how much you complain, the festival will still be held as usual.

Fengri Jiji is a sacrifice to pray for good weather in order to obtain a good agricultural harvest. During the sacrifice, coir raincoats and bamboo hats are enshrined to the gods.

This festival is held twice a year at Ise Shrine, on May 5th and August 14th.

On the way to watch the ceremony, Jue Kato saw many interesting small objects along the way, such as windmills, wind chimes, paper balloons, etc., all related to wind, which can be regarded as an exhibition that fits the theme.

The sacrifice is divided into three parts, the night sacrifice, the blessing sacrifice, and the post sacrifice. Someone watched a solemn and kind old man leading a group of Shinto personnel to hold the sacrifice in a cumbersome and solemn manner, and then looked at leading him Visit the A Tianfang Dream.

"Ah, that's my grandpa, who looks boring, right?"

However, this senior was mercilessly evaluated by her own old man.

As a religious person, she did not show awe of religion and gods at all, and she naturally did the same for clergy, even if the other party was of pure rank, even if the other party was her grandfather.

When Mr. Kato heard this, he took an extra look at the senior.

This attitude of hers suits his taste very well, maybe it's really right this time.

103. Ise Grand Shrine Day Trip 2

In May 1948, the main office of the shrine first promulgated the "Procedures for Rituals at the Shrine" and "Regulations for the Relations of the Shrine Rituals". Further adjustments and supplements were made in the "Rules for Rituals" and "Practices for Rituals at Shrines". Since then, the ritual rules of Shintoism in Japan basically have a unified implementation standard.

Of course, this standard is not absolute. With the advancement of the times, some cities have held large-scale new sacrificial activities, with tens of thousands of people participating. These activities do not conform to the regulations, but everyone likes them very much, so I was admitted.

神道教的祭祀活动一般由七大要素构成，1.祭神；2.神职；3.禊（xì）祓（fú）；4.斋戒；5.祈祷；6.神兴仪礼；7.参拜。

Judging from the elements, the sacrifice at Ise Jingu Shrine is now being held. The so-called Shenxing Ritual is a sacred activity that makes the gods happy and joyful. The scene is lively and entertaining. Among them, Shenxing Ritual is an important act to push the sacrifice to the top, including Kagura, Festival, and God Relief.

That is, music and dance performed in front of the gods, celebrations held on the day of sacrifice, and various performances that can make the scene lively.

Amidst the singing and dancing, people's intentional or unintentional beliefs are concentrated here, and the spiritual power is condensed together.

Then, it was gently touched by someone.

The ninth other palace of Ise Jingu Shrine is called Fengri Prayer Palace, which is also the main place where Fengri Prayer Festival is held.

The god of Fengri Prayer Palace is the god of wind and rain, the senior Tsuhiko, and the senior Tobe Ming. Because the wind and rain have a great impact on agriculture, the attention of this other palace is second only to the main palace dedicated to Amaterasu.

In Shintoism, the main hall is considered to be the place where gods live, and it is the most sacred part of the shrine, and humans are forbidden to enter.

But now, in the main hall of Fengri Qi Palace, there are two people who are talking in secret.

Both parties in the secret conversation were dressed in white clothes, but one of them looked old and wore the uniform usually worn by Japanese Shinto priests, while the other wore a white coat.

"It's really good here, the most dangerous place is the safest."

The white coat looked around, looking very satisfied.

After all, no one would have thought that outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering, and someone would enter the main hall of the shrine, which is extremely sacred, and would even comment on it.

"I did such a thing, I hope the gods will not blame me."

The old man's face was sad, and he looked at the place where the divine body was set up from time to time.

"According to the legend of Shintoism, Your Excellency pulled him down from Gaotianyuan, and he was truly blessed. How can you blame it?"

"It's like this, after all, it violates the teaching."

The old man just shook his head.

"You can do it. If our plan fails, then nothing happens. For me, it is confirmed that a road will not work, and there is no loss for you. If our plan succeeds, God Taoism has a real god walking on the ground, this is the beginning of a new era, do you want anything by then?"

The white coat said bluntly.

Asking God to plan is the reason why he came here this time.

As another researcher studying that place, he has a broad perspective, casting his sights directly on the place where Japan's spiritual beliefs reside.

Tokyo's attempts have been fruitless, as if something is actively sabotaging their plan. Some people speculate that it is the Doom Slayer, while others think it is just a matter of probability.

However, he is different. He has studied abroad for many years, has a vision that is completely different from those in China, and has a broad mind, so he decided to directly come to a big one.

He is going to be the god at the Ise Shrine.

Relying on the background of the organization, his action was approved, and he contacted a cooperating person in the Ise Shrine, a pure rank.

This is a bit unexpected, but a net rank can be said to be a real big shot. With the cooperation of such a person, at least Ise Jingu will not encounter too many problems inside.

And what he chose was a day like today.

Praying for wind and sun, praying for good weather in agriculture, the meaning of this sacrifice has been very important from ancient times to the present, and its meaning has not undergone any major changes.

According to that set of theories, if people's subconscious cognition can be projected into that world, corresponding gods must have been born.

And what he has to do is to bring one of them to reality.

If it succeeds, as he said to the old priest of the net rank before, this is the beginning of a new era, and he will become the leader of the project and lead this era.

Now that the equipment has been arranged, according to the judgment, it is a good opportunity to start immediately.

There will never be that so-called Doom Slayer here. He has watched the analysis of that video many times, and the internal conclusion is that if this Doom Slayer is a subconscious projection, then his range of activities will not run out of Tokyo. Well, if that Doom Slayer is someone, then his scope will not easily run out of Tokyo, because people in Tokyo will not run out if they have nothing to do.

Anyway, it's pretty stable here.

Under the expectation of this researcher, the equipment he brought showed that people's mental ebullition reached its peak.

Before his ideal was about to come true, he unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"God descending plan, start."

Speaking softly, the researcher pressed the button.

At a slightly earlier moment, Kato Jue was strolling casually with A Tianfang Meng in this shrine.

A Tian Fang Meng said that he wanted to ask him for help, but when the time came, he didn't ask him to do anything, which made Mr. Kato feel very strange.

But it's weird, anyway, he's here to help, if A Tian Fangmeng thinks this can help, then he doesn't care, but thinks it saves trouble.

Ise Jingu was originally one of the famous tourist attractions. Today there is another big festival, and more people come to visit. Kato Jue and Atenbo Meng walked side by side in the crowd, and suddenly felt what they saw last night The serenity of the shrine has disappeared, and it has changed from a sacred residence of gods to a human fireworks market.

Of course, he didn't care about that either.

God, that's all.

It's just that as he was walking, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure from behind.

This made Kato feel alert immediately.

He was just about to go over to have a look, but he saw the figure who was limping around and disappeared in the crowd.

104. Ise Grand Shrine Day Trip 3

"Junior Kato, did you see something just now?"

A certain person stared at the place where the back disappeared, feeling a little tangled in his heart, whether he should follow up and have a look, but A Tian Fang Meng who was beside him had already noticed the performance of his playmate.

"It seems that I saw an acquaintance, but when I was still thinking about whether to go up and say hello, he had already left."

He answered matter-of-factly.

"If it's a friend, wouldn't it be enough to make a phone call to confirm?"

"I'm not that familiar either. In short, it might be better to meet that person less often."

Mr. Kato shook his head.

"That's really an interesting acquaintance, let's go for a walk."

Atian Fangmeng still commented casually, and then made the same suggestion like another French fries.

"Probably so."

Kato-sensei twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
