Two days passed by in a flash, and I came to school as usual on Monday, but except for the top students, many people were not focused on studying. Of course, these topics included love, makeup, and bullying... But the one that was mentioned the most today was
It was the Dragon God Festival that Ise Shrine suddenly announced three days ago.
After returning from the lunch break, the squad leader suddenly walked up to the podium amidst the commotion. A good-looking girl, attracted by the beauty hormone, would give some face to the troublesome male classmates.
I saw her say: "I see that everyone is discussing the Dragon God Festival this morning. Are you very interested? I also want to go, so now I want to ask how many people are willing to organize and go to see it together?"
"Would you like to visit the festival together as a class? What a great idea!"
"Together together."
This scene not only happened in Yamabuki Private High School, there were basically a large number of people going to attend the festival in the nearby cities. Although Shinto is now close to being lonely, it is no longer the prominent era when it was the national religion that controlled the faith of a country a hundred years ago, but now
It still occupies a very important position in the hearts of the people of the island country. What's more, according to the promotion on the official website of the shrine, the newly appeared Dragon God Festival has become one of the most important celebrations every year.
The urgent publicity and annual stunt of Ise Jingu attracted a large number of believers and curious young people.
........
At the same time, Shoji, who declined the invitation from his classmates to participate in the Dragon God Festival, also came one step ahead through the black shadow space to the palace where the statue of the Holy Lord's body was stored. The dark green coiled dragon statue was hung on the back of a huge chair, surrounded by
It was a white curtain that hung down to cover the face of the gods. Under the chair were sitting several shrine maidens in formal clothes, the one at the front was Oda Saori.
Miko, also known as the Son of God, is an existence that serves the gods and is similar to the spokesperson of the gods. She once stood at the top of the Shinto hierarchy. But in the end, her status was based on illusory legends. With the lofty gods not showing up for a long time, the gods used the tools.
With the continuous rise in status, the status of miko in modern times has dropped to the point where it cannot be said to be humble, but it is also on the verge of falling. There is no threshold for existence except that she must be a pure girl with physical and mental health, and she has fallen to the bottom of the Shinto food chain.
Bottom layer.
But by meeting the right person at the right time, everything seems to be back on track from Oda Saori. The status of the shrine maiden may be fundamentally changed.
While the ceremony was in full swing outside the palace, a breeze suddenly blew inside the palace with the doors and windows closed.
Was the door blown open by the wind? But no sound was heard? I was thinking of a miko kneeling in the back row, looking at the serious and pious companion in front of me and turning her head quietly.
The next moment, Oda Saori sensed something and suddenly raised her head, her big black eyes staring closely at the dragon statue on the chair. She murmured: "My lord, are you awake?"
"Saori, what are you talking about?"
"It's alive, it's alive, the statue is actually alive!"
"Shut up Yuno, please inform Grandpa and Inari Grand Priest Ryuugami-sama outside Asako-den that there are signs of waking up."
Looking at the shrine maidens who suddenly exclaimed and were afraid of the chaos, Oda Saori sighed. If she hadn't been sitting here waiting for the Dragon God to completely wake up, the others would still be useful, and they would have been given to them as soon as possible.
The companions who did not respect the gods were taught a lesson.
After giving orders to other shrine maidens with a cold face, imitating her father's teaching manner in her memory, Oda Saori turned her head. In just a moment, the expression on her face turned into one of reverence and worry.
Shoji, who was controlling the fusion of his human body with the holy master's dragon body, smiled. No wonder so many celebrities like to create characters. It turns out that this feeling of being obsessed and worshiped is really good.
The little witch didn't wait too long. After a while, when the two high priests of the headquarters threw everything to the subordinate priests and rushed out of the temple, the fusion of the bodies finally entered the final step. Almost at the same time.
The more than a thousand energy remaining in the game turned into a stream of light and was infused into the three talismans of rat, monkey and tiger.
A strong wind appeared and suddenly blew open the door of the temple. All the decorations in the temple were shaken by the strong wind. The solidified sculpture made a creaking sound, and pieces of dark green pieces like plaster peeled off from the statue.
As if it had been sleeping for a long time, the coiled sculpture slowly unfolded its body, and a giant dragon about ten meters long was coiled around the pillars in the temple.
The moment a pair of dragon eyes opened, the air around him began to become a little irritable and restless. The priests standing outside the temple, the people who came to participate in the Dragon God Festival further away, the investigation team, and the official clerks could all feel it vaguely.
The temperature of the air was steadily and slowly rising, and waves of invisible invisible heat waves surged past, heading towards the main hall where the Dragon God was advertised.
Some masters of divine tools with a high degree of mastery, whose sixth sense has been activated, can even feel that not far ahead, a violent, hot and terrifying aura that cannot be described in words is gradually awakening, that is like an endless abyss.
Fear shrouds the hearts of all divine tools. If you look at it, you will die. This is sincere advice from life.
The seal has just been broken, and the skyrocketing power still needs some time to adapt. Now is not the time to accept the anger of this world. If too much power is congested at once, it will be easy to suffer from indigestion. When Shoji came back to his senses, he thought, and temporarily disconnected
Interacting with the outside world, the fire that belonged to this world was attracted by him from all directions. He also slowly stopped being as impatient as a moth rushing to a flame. When he returned to the chair and took up residence again, the terrifying aura that pressed on everyone's heart
This gradually disappeared.
At this time, the two great priests standing outside the palace finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the short period of time when the Dragon God woke up and released his divine power, they all felt the whisper of death in their ears. Even as the two major shrines
The chief priest of the main shrine controls the most powerful divine tool in the shrine, but it cannot bring even a little sense of security. This is just the beginning of awakening. If it is the most powerful period, I can't imagine what kind of power the man in the palace is.
.
"Since you're here, come in. I didn't control myself when I woke up and inevitably caused a little noise. Is that okay?" Zhuang Sikai took the initiative and looked at the two great priests.
Although Oda Saori is the spokesperson he trained, she is still too immature now and needs the support of these two old foxes. Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Shoji has never planned to make any changes to Shinto.
If the set can be used, it will naturally be inherited. If it is not suitable, it does not matter and it will be a waste of time to make another set.
"Don't worry, sir, we will take care of it." The two great priests naturally nodded in agreement. It was expected that the Dragon God's awakening would cause commotion. Ordinary people can tell the truth or not speak to the believers. Anyway, there is
The group of online reporters gave them the lowdown. The special investigation team also said hello in advance, but whether they believe it or not is not something they can take the lead in.
