This time Kamiyagawa and Onizuka Kirihotari came to Itsukushima Shrine and had greeted them in advance.
However, Kamiya had never interacted with Itsukushima Shrine before, so this visit was considered a quite formal meeting and conversation.
In formal occasions, as prominent young representatives in the exorcism circle, the two behaved appropriately.
They are much calmer now than they were in high school.
After all, I have experienced a lot in these years.
Needless to say, God Valley not only became famous and accumulated a family fortune in this world, but also became the overlord of forces that controlled gods and ghosts in the ordinary world.
As for Onizuka, due to Granny Gu's health, the little miko who was the successor in recent years had been trying to gradually take over the affairs of Juqiong Shrine.
In addition, at the beginning of this year, the Amado Rock Incident occurred, and the "divine descending" power of the Juqiong Shrine completely disappeared. The Juqiong Shrine suddenly lost its core support, and it held the child bow and the Abe Seimei Talisman.
Onizuka, who brought back the notes, naturally had to take up the responsibility of his own shrine.
The main family of Itsukushima Shrine is the Saeki clan.
The current head of the shrine is named Akihisa Saeki. He is an old gentleman with elegant temperament and colorful clothes.
He warmly received the visiting Kamiya and Onizuka.
The three of them sat down in the tea room and chatted for a while.
As the divine son of Jujun Shrine, Onizuka Kirihota knows a lot about shrines and temples in various places. In this kind of more formal contact with local shrines, the conversation can go much smoother with her present.
Of course, Kamiyagawa himself can also express the scene beautifully.
The chat between the two parties was quite pleasant, until Mr. Saeki changed the subject with a smile:
"The disciples of Ghost and God and the son of Juqiong came to visit today, which really made Itsshima shine. I wonder if you two came to Itsukushima to relax, or... have an explanation?"
Kamiya and Onizuka looked at each other and briefly exchanged glances.
"That's it, Mr. Saeki. Juqiong Shrine wants to have some technical exchanges with other shrines in the spirit removal industry. It's mainly about the newly obtained Talisman Notes of Abe Seimei that Juqiong Shrine has acquired. I'm coming here this time.
It is an invitation to Itsukushima Shrine on behalf of Juqiong Shrine."
The little witch said this.
It was indeed more convincing for her to say this.
"Yes, I have indeed heard that Juqiong Shrine recently received an exquisite talisman note from Abe Seimei." Mr. Saeki nodded, "Of course Itsukushima Shrine does not want to miss such a precious communication opportunity, but is just afraid
I can't thank you enough for such a great kindness. I wonder if there is anything we can do for you two?"
Facing Juqiong Shrine, Mr. Saeki's attitude is still very humble.
Many architectural structures of Itsukushima Shrine have been rated as national treasures in Japan.
Moreover, there are also precious cultural relics inside the shrine, such as the "Taike Nasutra" and the "lyre used by Heijuhei."
One can imagine the extent of its financial resources, and just like this magnificent and magnificent offshore shrine, it is displayed nakedly and is particularly eye-catching.
In terms of financial resources, Juqiong Shrine is actually not inferior to Itsukushima Shrine.
However, the external appearance of Juqiong Shrine is much lower-key, and it privately invests and controls many industries in Kanagawa and even Tokyo.
Although the financial resources behind them are similar, there is a huge difference in the status of the two shrines in the spirit removal industry.
Juqiong Shrine, which is proficient in platycodon talismans and relies on "divine descent", has always been a leading force in the industry.
Although the power of "divine descending" is no longer present, and its specific process is unknown. However, there is a set of high-level talismans in the Juqiong Shrine that are directly inherited from the great onmyoji Abe Seimei. There are also rumors that the son of the God of Juqiong has
He brought a divine artifact close to him.
In addition, some changes in factions can be seen by discerning people in the industry——
Kamiyakawa, a disciple of ghosts and gods who is in the ascendant, has become the talker of a newly rising faction, with great momentum, and he has obviously begun to support Juqiong Shrine.
Therefore, the influence of Juqiong Shrine is still there.
Looking back at Itsukushima Shrine, it is indeed very successful in the tourism industry, but its presence in the spirit exorcism industry is relatively marginal.
Since its establishment, Itsukushima Shrine has been controlled by powerful people.
The powerful people who have controlled this place include——
The Taira clan in the late Heian period.
Kamiya's old acquaintance in the Sanzu River destroyed the Taira Minamoto clan.
Maori Yuanjiu, who dominated Zhongzhou during the Warring States Period.
Etc., etc.
Because it has always been under the control of the powerful, Itsukushima Shrine has not developed any decent spirit-removing skills after several iterations. Instead, its most successful one is the Gagaku performance for the entertainment of dignitaries.
Even today, the shrine’s floating gaku stage is one of a kind.
Itsukushima Shrine has been very prosperous since its development. But after all, its main function is still a place for recreation and entertainment for the powerful. Its rise and fall can be completely changed by a single thought of the Taira or Genji clan.
And when it comes to wealth, although Yoshikoji Temple in Ibaraki Prefecture is far inferior to the two shrines of Jujo and Itsukushima, it is not bad either.
But before sending Tsurumi Aoi, the temple's daughter, to Kamiyagawa's apprenticeship, Yoshikoji Temple was in serious decline in the field of exorcism.
It can only be said that some things cannot be solved by just "having money".
Kamiyagawa could tell that although Mr. Saeki kept his words calm, he was already thinking about the "learning exchange" with Juqiong Shrine, so he spoke more bluntly:
"Mr. Saeki, you know that Kaitan needs worship after becoming an Aragami. So we really need some help from Itsukushima Shrine. I hope that Itsukushima Shrine can enshrine my Aragami, just like Yoshimitsu of the Tsurumi family in Ibaraki Prefecture.
Just like a temple.”
"Same as Yoshikoji Temple?"
"Yes, same."
Kamiyagawa repeated rather firmly.
Of course Mr. Saeki knows that Yoshikoji is also a member of the Kamiya faction.
And as a result, he regained a certain voice in the spirit removal industry.
Now it seems that Yoshikoji's ability to establish a relationship with the hot ghost disciples was not entirely dependent on sending his daughter to Kamiyagawa as his apprentice.
Well, the bargaining chips on the negotiating table are now very clear——
As long as Akihisa Saeki agrees to enshrine the Arakami under Kamiyagawa, Itsukushima Shrine will have the opportunity to exchange talisman skills with the Jujun Shrine. It will also receive the support of ghost and god disciples in the spirit exorcism industry.
Both virtual and real interests exist.
It is impossible to say that you are not moved.
"If you want to build an additional temple for your Aragami..."
"No, it doesn't have to be that troublesome." Kamiya shook his head, "As long as the statue is erected somewhere in Itsukushima Shrine, it doesn't need to affect the daily operations of Itsukushima Shrine."
"In that case, Itsukushima Shrine is happy to accept your proposal." Mr. Saeki, who was kneeling across the table, said this while personally refilling the tea cups of Kamiyagawa and Onizuka Kirihotari.
He couldn't find any reason to reject this deal that was sure to make money without losing any money.
…
What Kamiyagawa wanted Itsukushima Shrine to enshrine was, of course, the transformed whale.
In addition, there are Isohime and Crabhime who are already Aragami.
The specific things to be done are also simple.
Just like Mary controls Jiguang Temple and Xiao Wu settles in Denden Palace.
Inside Itsukushima Shrine, just stand up the spirit-containing metal statue that was specially made by Sister Kaku and incorporates the hair of the whales and others.
The three little whales are the "ancestral images" of the three ocean goddesses, and they are inextricably linked to the three goddesses.
Therefore, it is most appropriate to control Itsukushima Shrine, which is dedicated to the Munakata three goddesses in this world.
Moreover, Itsukushima Shrine is a treasure trove of worldly faith due to its excellent tourism development.
As long as we capture this place, the whale's sprint to the A-level god threshold will definitely speed up a lot.
That's right.
The purpose of Kamitani River's trip to Itsukushima Shrine is to integrate the resources of the shrine in this world.
There are two successful cases of sisters Mari and Satoru taking over living shrines and temples and obtaining religious incense from them. With Kamiyagawa's character, it was only a matter of time before he took over the shrines in the living world.
Moreover, he had already thoroughly studied it before officially starting the "Integration of Living Shrine Resources" plan.
In a shrine in the real world, the faith gathered therein will eventually flow into the eternal world if it is not utilized.
For example, the Tsurumi family's Yoshikoji Temple has a Mahakala Temple in the eternal space corresponding to the temple.
However, among all the living shrines, the Denden Palace where Satoru resides is a special case.
The Electricity Palace was established only a few decades ago, and the Edison and Hertz enshrined there are indeed real people, but the so-called gods of strong electricity and weak electricity have never existed in the ordinary world.
In modern society, the IT industry is developing rapidly, and there is a group of new-age believers in the Denden Palace. As a result, the accumulated beliefs cannot be dissipated in the ordinary world, which will give birth to [Hello World] and cause riots.
This situation is really special, so the countermeasures room had no expectation that "the accumulation of beliefs would cause riots" before.
After all, normally, the invisible and intangible power of faith will not accumulate in large quantities in the real world.
In short, the large and small shrines that exist in Japan today have their own religious beliefs and are completely ready-made resource treasures!
But now, the gods in the eternal world have fallen, and the power of faith from the real world has not been well utilized at all, that is, a small part of it has been supplied to the followers of the corresponding gods.
In addition, some Aragami with relatively gentle temperaments and connections with the Countermeasures Room will also go to certain shrines and temples to gain faith.
The nature of this behavior is not much different from that of gods obeying gods.
Most of the faith is wasted after it flows into the ordinary world.
Kamiya has a kind heart and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. He really can't bear to see such a wasteful thing.
Instead of wasting it, it’s better to use it for me!
After the "Integration of Living Shrine Resources" plan was launched, the most fundamental goal was -
Completely take over the belief system of certain gods.
It would be too petty to cautiously take a piece of the existing huge belief system of gods, just like from gods.
If you want to do Kamiyagawa, then naturally you have to do something big!
Just like Mary inherited the faith of Mahakala throughout Japan.
Now not only does Yoshikoji Temple belong to Mary, believers who believe in Mahakala are essentially followers of Mary.
The belief in Mahakala has become a vest of Mary's belief.
Mahakala, the Japanese god of good fortune, is actually "Miss Mary, the goddess of good fortune who controls joy and anger."
This is also the ultimate goal of Xiaowu entering the Dendian Palace.
Her Cyber Shrine was built with the "Hello World" produced by Denden Miya as its core. When Satoru becomes a god in the future, Denden Miya's belief system will naturally be completely owned by her.
The "God of Strong Electricity" and the "God of Weak Electricity" are essentially Xiao Wu.
Now, the most real purpose of Whale, Isohime, and Crabhime settling in Itsukushima Shrine is to prepare for the three of them to completely take over the belief system of the three goddesses in the current world in the future.
Anyway, the plan for the three desolate gods of the Sea Kingdom to be promoted to gods in the future originally included the bones of the gods to accommodate the three sea goddesses.
It is most appropriate that the "Belief System of the Three Munakata Goddesses" should be inherited by them.
Of course, that's not all.
Kamiya and Onizuka visited Itsukushima Shrine today, and tomorrow they plan to go to Shiratori Shrine in Kyoto.
And will use the same method and the same interests to interact with the Shiratori Shrine.
As for the god enshrined in Shiratori Shrine, it is Takenwa Kenmei.
According to legend, Taken turned into a white bird after his death, hence the name "White Bird Shrine".
The sacred relics of Wakenmei are one of the cores of Wu Tengu’s construction of the shrine.
Wu Zun's belief system in the present world is naturally planned by Wu Tengu.
Furthermore, Kamitanigawa’s “Plan for Integrating Living Shrine Resources” has a very broad scope, and some shrines of gods have already been targeted by him, including but not limited to——
Yifu Kamo Doumei Shrine, the belief in the Great Immortal Peach God.
Enma King Shrine.
Ibuki Daimyojin Shrine.
Saruta Hikomei Shrine.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even the dark silt Kamigami God has not yet fallen. If this cursed dragon god can be killed, then his Kibune Myojin Shrine, and the corresponding
Kamiyagawa also wants to take over all the belief systems.
These shrine beliefs can be absorbed by Kamiyagawa's shikigami, and there is still the possibility of completely taking over in the future.
In short, the "Integration Plan" has a lot to do.
Moreover, there are many shrines in Japan with the same god.
Just like Wakenmei, it has a great reputation and has many stories. There are also many Takeson Wakenmei shrines that were widely believed by the samurai class in the old days. Even the largest among them, besides Shiratori Shrine, is Mitsumine Shrine.
Based on the principle that mosquito legs are also meat, Kamiyagawa wants to integrate all the available kami shrines.
In the past, when he was unknown or even just emerging, it would have been impossible to do such a thing.
But today is different from the past. The Valley of the Gods is now very influential in the spirit removal industry. No one in the serious shrines and temples will not give some face to the disciples of ghosts and gods.
However, integrating the resources of modern shrines is a huge project that is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Kamiyagawa has no such time.
That's why he needs the help of Juqiong Shrine and Onizuka.
It is most appropriate for the little witch to step in for him in this matter.
The influence of Juqiong Shrine is there, and everyone in the industry basically knows that the disciples of ghosts and gods have a close personal relationship with the son of Juqiong.
Out of personal feelings, Onizuka was willing to assist Kamiyagawa.
And Juqiong Shrine does not object to its own divine son working for Kamiya.
After all, the entire Juqiong Shrine has completely sided with Kamiya River. Everyone's interests are tied together, and anything that is beneficial to the ghost disciples is also good for Juqiong Shrine.
As for those shrines and temples listed as targets for integration...
Master Kamiya is also a decent man.
In this world, there is no need to rely on your own influence to dominate and rob the spiritual master industry.
Shrines and temples that are willing to assist him can definitely return certain benefits to others.
For example, Abe Seimei's Talisman Notes are originally shared by Kamiya River and Jujun Shrine, so he also has the power to control them.
It’s a good idea to take it out and communicate with your colleagues.
There is no need for Juqiong Shrine to teach the high-level talisman techniques without any reservation, they can definitely save a few skills.
Moreover, among the shrines that are willing to cooperate, if they have great influence and can provide more faith, they should communicate more. If they provide less faith, then they should communicate less.
This kind of thing is controllable.
If you have a lot of friends and can achieve a win-win situation through talking and trading, and thus solve the problem perfectly, why bother making enemies for yourself?
