Priest Abe slowly stood up from the futon. His calm eyes looked at the emperor's family with a look that could see through the vicissitudes of life. Finally, his eyes fell on the princess of the royal family.
The emperor pushed his daughter hard, and his face showed his displeasure. If the sacrifice failed because of the problem of his beloved son, he, the emperor, would definitely not be able to escape the involvement, and there would definitely be complaints within the royal family, and it was even possible Will make him give up the throne and pass it to his younger brother.
In fact, these four 'sacred objects' are just nonsense. They were made up by some famous Japanese supernatural legends that Louis found on the Internet. It is enough to fool these Japanese people.
"Sir, these are the items you need, the cypress from Ise Jingu Shrine, the branches from Yamadaka Jindaizakura, the snow from the top of Fuji Sacred Mountain, and the spiritual stones found from Mount Osaka according to your request."
The priest did not look back, but looked at the throne in front of him and spoke slowly.
The Prime Minister and the Emperor took a step forward, and both of them bowed respectfully and bowed deeply.
The four old men hurriedly bent forward and carefully placed the 'sacred objects' under the three artifacts. Among them, the snow on the top of Fuji Mountain was the strangest. It was placed in a small freezer.
"You are the emperor, and your daughter, Prince Aikouchi, has the purest blood. It is not true that the emperor rumored in Japan is a descendant of Amaterasu. How could Amaterasu have left a mortal bloodline? But in Japan It has been passed down for so many years, and this land has always believed in Amaterasu, making this legend become a reality."
The Japanese Prime Minister and the Emperor looked at each other, stepped forward one on the left and the other on the right, put down the wooden box with three inner and outer layers wrapped in cloth in their hands, carefully opened the cloth strips, and took out the contents of the box. come out.
Ise Jingu is the most famous and solemn shrine in Japan and can be called the spiritual pillar of the Japanese. It has not been open to foreigners in the past. It was not until the 1950s after World War II that foreigners were allowed to enter here, which is similar to Japan. Unlike other shrines, the security personnel of this shrine are all members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. From here you can see how much political significance it has to the entire Japanese people.
Next to the emperor is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. She is thin and small, as if she is malnourished.
According to the Japanese tradition of loyalty to the emperor, Japan has now been completely deceived by Louis I and has become hostile to Western civilization.
Prince Aikouchi is a Japanese royal princess. In the past, she was always criticized for being extremely fat, which resulted in mental illness and anorexia. Although she is indeed beautiful after losing weight, she also seems to have a very low self-esteem.
"Aiko, come over quickly! The priest is waiting for you."
"Then put them on the counter in front."
Afraid that Aiko's behavior would make the priest angry, the Emperor quickly said: "...Priest, I'm afraid that Aiko is not capable enough to complete this sacrifice. Do you think it is possible to replace him with someone else? Is Yoshiko's words okay?"
Ise Jingu Shrine is divided into an outer palace and an inner palace. The outer palace is dedicated to the Toyogo Goddess, while the inner palace is dedicated to Amaterasu. The average person who wants to visit Ise Jingu can only visit the outer palace. The inner palace is Only on very few festivals will certain people go to worship.
"Very well, put them under the three artifacts."
The priest's voice is hoarse like rubbing iron, which makes people's scalp numb, but the majestic solemnity also makes people revere them. Especially to the Japanese, this kind of attitude seems arrogant and meaningless because of holding power. It is in line with this nation's worship of the strong.
In front of the main palace of Ise Jingu Shrine, Priest Abe, played by Louis, is dressed in Heian period clothes, wearing a black hat and a hunter's robe. He looks like both a priest and an onmyoji, kneeling and sitting in the shrine. on the futon in front of me.
"Bring them all, Priest!"
He was as thin as a withered figure and lowered his head slightly. The feeling of being dry and withered was frightening. Although the old man looked like he was about to die, standing next to him could feel the majestic strength of his thin body. His vitality makes him look even more magical.
Of course, these three artifacts are actually fakes. It is not known whether the real three artifacts actually exist. Even if they do exist, they have long since disappeared in the long river of history. Now these so-called three artifacts are all made by later generations. , the three oldest items from today.
The priest's words made the emperor shut up. He finally got through it. He just inherited the throne not long ago, how could he give up now? Don't you see, the crown prince of England has been using it for decades, and he has not yet seen the crown prince of England. King's hope.
The four old men respectfully offered the sacred objects in their hands. These four places are very famous throughout Japan. Ise Shrine is the spiritual symbol of Japan, Jindaizakura is one of the "three giant cherry blossoms", and Mount Fuji is world-famous. , and Mount Osasan is known as the place closest to Huangquan.
This is the power of the true God. It does not require excessive display of great power. It only requires a miracle and a few words to make a nation, a country, and a civilization swear allegiance to him.
The Kusanagi sword, the eight-foot mirror and the eight-foot magatama, Japan's three famous artifacts, were all placed in front of the priest.
When the emperor saw that his daughter did not respond, he pushed his daughter's shoulder anxiously.
As the priest finished speaking, four more old men came forward. These old men were priests of other large shrines in Japan. They were ordinary people who were very interested in the method of worshiping with real extraordinary power, so they spent a lot of money. It took a lot of hard work to get this opportunity to observe on the spot.
"My dear son, my dear son..."
"... Therefore, what I need is the blood of the emperor, not the blood of the royal family. Prince Kakouchi is your brother's child. Unless you are willing to abdicate the throne to him, the only one who can sacrifice the shrine maiden is Prince Aikouchi."
"Prince Aikouchi, are you ready?"
"The utensils for worshiping Amaterasu have been prepared. It requires very complicated rituals to worship Amaterasu, but we don't need to do it now. As long as we have the blood of Amaterasu, it is enough."
"Priest, the Prime Minister and the Emperor's family have arrived."
These four locations are related to gods and demons in many places. Therefore, when Priest Abe ordered the Japanese government to search for these things, Japan's religious and occult scholars took it for granted and recorded these things in the new book. In the compiled classics.
"What about the other stuff?"
The emperor is holding the eight-foot magatama, one of the three artifacts that has been kept in the Imperial Palace of Japan, and the prime minister is holding the Kusanagi sword that he took from Atsuta Shrine not long ago. Between these two artifacts , and there is a bronze mirror, which is the eight-foot mirror preserved in Ise Jingu Shrine.
"Have you brought everything?"
If it were in the previous peaceful era, this kind of thing would be impossible, but in this era of extraordinary power, this kind of thing is really possible. The emperor's lineage, which has always been known as the descendant of Amaterasu, has been roped in by the priest in front of him. They acquired chariots and became the main force against Western civilization.
