Sanqianzi Sakagami didn't expect Pei Ziyun to interrupt her, so she couldn't help but frown slightly. However, seeing Pei Ziyun's serious face, she still lowered her head and said, "Hey, for our shrine, suppressing evil spirits is the most important job."
"So for a shrine, samurai are the most important wealth. Having a samurai who can kill evil spirits can help the shrine be passed on and grow."
"Samurai have a very high status in the shrine. Even the heir of the shrine must be a samurai who killed the evil ghost."
"Samurai kill evil ghosts, and the relationship between samurai and evil ghosts is a bit complicated. Although samurai can kill evil ghosts, they will also be chased by evil spirits."
At this point, she didn't think Pei Ziyun was too young, so she poured him a glass of sake and said, "Yamada-kun, do you understand this?"
Pei Ziyun nodded silently: "I understand, please continue."
Not to mention the fact that if you stare into the abyss, you will be stared into by the abyss, in fact, the police and soldiers on the front line may themselves be unstable factors and require special attention and supervision.
"Hey, as long as you understand, the deepest connection with evil spirits is the shrine and the inheritance of blood rewards. The former is the soil of samurai, and the latter is the reward for killing evil spirits."
"Yamada-kun, the shrine has six hundred stones. In fact, the land ownership includes the entire mountain, and there are also offerings from the nearby town association, but the money is not a lot."
Pei Ziyun nodded: "Promise!"
Before the Shinkawa shogunate, the power of Buddhism was twice that of Shinto. After the Shinkawa shogunate, Shinto became stronger. Although the separation of church and state was implemented in modern times, thanks to its blessings, Shinto was twice as powerful as Buddhism.
In Japan, as soon as a child is born, according to tradition, he needs to go to a shrine to pray for blessings - people believe in "geographical connections" and believe that people on every land must go to the local shrine to ward off disasters and pray for blessings. This is the "Shichi-Five-Three Festival".
The same goes for other major events. For example, if a house is built, after the construction is completed, a shrine will come to ward off disasters and pray for blessings. This has been matched with the construction company.
Same goes for getting married.
Only death is not under the jurisdiction of the shrine, because the traditional concept of Shinto believes that death and corpses are unclean, regardless of funerals, this is managed by the temple.
Logically speaking, this amount is enough for the basic expenses of the shrine, but looking at the grandeur of the Minkawa Shrine, this amount of money is far from enough.
"Yamada-kun, it's not that our Jingawa Shrine wants to be pompous. Just take the matter of the Takamori family as an example. Without a team, it would be impossible to deal with the aftermath of killing the evil ghost." Sakagami Sanchiko seemed to see that. After understanding Pei Ziyun's thoughts, he said: "You don't want to be chased and bitten by the police and people who don't know the truth, right? Therefore, it is necessary to earn blood rewards, and it is not enough to rely solely on the worship of believers."
After hearing this, Pei Ziyun nodded silently and thought thoughtfully. If this was the case, what happened would make sense. He still frowned and asked a question: "What is blood reward?"
"Blood reward is the reward for samurai to solve problems and kill or drive away evil spirits. 1.5 billion yen is Ishiwata-kun's reward over the years. Since it is obtained by killing evil ghosts, it is blood reward."
"Blood rewards are closely related to evil spirits. It's not that Mr. Ishiwatari doesn't want to send them to Takamori Mako and his daughter, it's just that he can't. This will directly involve Takamori Mako and his daughter in the revenge of evil spirits." Sakagami Sanchiko said softly: " Generally speaking, Gao Sen and her daughter will have a shrine that allocates funds from believers' offerings, which is cleaner."
"But Mr. Ishiwatari self-exiled for some reasons, so Gao Sen and his daughter have lived a more miserable life these years."
"In that case, why did Mr. Ishiwatari ask me to hand over 1.5 billion yen to Gao Sen and his daughter this time? If I hadn't killed the evil ghost, both Gao Sen and his daughter would have died!" Pei Ziyun asked, tapping the floor with his finger.
"It should be at that time that Mr. Ishiwata was half confused by the evil spirits." Sanqianzi Sakagami squinted his eyes, thought carefully, and said with emotion: " Mr. Ishiwata missed Gao Mori and his daughter before he died, and The evil ghost has distorted this longing, as long as Gao Sen and his daughter are dead, the family can be together."
"This is a common occurrence."
After saying this, both of them were silent for a while. Pei Ziyun sighed: "Really? It seems that it is not easy to be such a warrior."
"Yes, the shrine continues to cultivate samurai, and the samurai kill evil spirits. When the samurai decline and become inactive, it is the best time for the evil spirits to bite back."
"Therefore, the inheritance of shrines and blood rewards has become a test method for the heirs of the shrine. Only by successfully killing the evil ghost can you inherit the shrine and blood rewards."
"Of course, this time, the two are separated - Yamada-kun, in fact, you are also entitled to half of the 1.5 billion yen." Sakagami Sanzenko took a look and said.
Pei Ziyun understood a little bit. Sakagami Sanqianzi wanted to ask him if he had any thoughts about the "legacy" left by Ishiwata Makoto, but he really didn't have any thoughts. He said: "If blood reward is the reward for killing evil spirits, Isn’t it natural for Mr. Ishiwata to leave it to his wife and daughter?”
Sakagami Sanchiko's smile brightened, and she said, "If you say that, I feel relieved. The most dangerous thing about these two rituals is Karma."
"The karma is related to evil ghosts. The more evil ghosts you kill or come into contact with, the deeper the karma will be, and the more likely it is that problems will arise, and you will be hunted down by some powerful evil ghosts or even some unknown beings."
"The most famous thing is one thing. It is recorded in the book collection of Jinchuan Shrine that the "white fox master" Abe Seimei in history was besieged by several unknown strange beings in his later years due to deep connections. Although he managed to escape, he was also seriously injured. , which shows the horror of karma.”
When Sanchiko Sakagami said this, his expression changed and he smiled: "Yamada-kun, now you have passed the shrine succession test and become the young master of our Jinkawa Shrine."
After saying that, Sakagami Sanqianzi bowed respectfully and changed his title: "Yamada-kun, you are now the young master of our Jinchuan Shrine. If there is anything you want to know, I will definitely tell you."
Pei Ziyun did not answer immediately. Seeing that Pei Ziyun did not move and seemed to be in a trance, Sakagami Sanqianzi said again: "If possible, please Yamada-like arrive at Jinchuan Shrine tomorrow. We will then serve you and inherit Jinchuan Shrine." , become a samurai.”
Pei Ziyun looked at the system, and a plum tree quickly appeared in front of his eyes, and it quickly enlarged and turned into a data frame with a faint light.
"Mission: Out of the tacit understanding of the samurai, protect his wife and daughter (completed)."
Well, after solving this crisis, has this rescue mission been completed
Pei Ziyun pressed it and looked at it. Together with his savings from the previous world, he already had six destiny points. He stood up and looked outside. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he said to Sakagami Sanqianzi: "I did not agree to be the heir of Jinchuan Shrine."
"When I visited the General History Museum, I thought, I must be like the General."
"I want to dominate the country with my wooden sword. This is my real dream."
After saying this, Pei Ziyun bowed, lowered his head, and said seriously to Sakagami Sanqianzi: "I'm really sorry, I'm leaving."

Shiraishi Gakukan Publishing House
This is a relatively good publishing house in Japan. Although it is not as good as Shueisha, it is still somewhat famous. The sales volume of its various magazines ranks at the forefront of many publishing houses.
Especially in the past few years, Shiraishi Gakukan Publishing House has made a big splash. "Tokyo Strategy", submitted by Uichi Akiyama and published by Shiraishi Gakukan, discusses the story of Ryosuke Sone, who was born as a samurai, arriving in Tokyo to study and find a job, and his struggle. s story.
This reflects the code of conduct and philosophy of life of the Japanese warrior class. It is discussed at several levels such as righteousness, courage, benevolence, etiquette, sincerity, honor, loyalty, and self-denial. It is analyzed layer by layer to three-dimensionally display the spiritual power of the rise of Japan.
This book caused a great response upon its publication and was translated into Japanese, French, German, Russian, Polish, Norwegian, Bohemian, Hungarian and other languages within a short period of time. both.
It's just that in the past few years, Shiraishi Gakukan Publishing House has been getting worse year by year, and no refreshing works have appeared. It can only be like an ordinary publishing house, relying on the reputation it accumulated in the past to barely support itself.
Nagano Narumi has been working for several years. She works at Shiraishi Gakukan Publishing House. She is mainly responsible for reviewing manuscripts from new writers and signing contracts with new authors. Although she is a little busy, her salary is still very good, which is enough to make Nagano Narumi live comfortably. It has only been in the past two years. As Shiraishi Academy's sales declined, Nagano Narumi's treatment was not as good as before.
Nagano Narumi didn't know the root cause of the decline in sales, so he had to work more seriously, hoping to discover outstanding authors and inject new vitality into Shiraishi Academy.
That morning, Nagano Narumi had just arrived at the publishing house when she heard someone shouting: "Nagano-san, the minister asked you to go to the office!"
Hearing this, Nagano Narumi hurriedly put down her lunch lunch and went to the office of the publishing director.
Nagano Narumi opened the door and saw the minister. The minister was in his forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sipping tea, bent over a chair and looking through the neatly arranged manuscripts on the table.
After Nagano Narumi entered the door, she bowed to the minister. The minister raised his head, put down the teacup and manuscript, and said to Nagano Narumi, "You have worked hard."
"I've read the manuscript. Several of the authors you discovered this time have some potential."
"Especially Yamada Shinichi is indeed a pretty good new author. His writing style has some of the style of Akiyama Uichi."
"I'm not saying that Yamada Shinichi's style is similar to Akiyama Uichi, but the taste."
Nagano Narumi didn't say anything, just bowed. She actually felt the same way and felt the potential to become a great writer.
"And it seems that Yamada Shinichi is very young. Our Shiraishi Gakukan Publishing House has suffered many blows and difficulties, and we have bounced back each time by relying on excellent authors."
"It's the same now. If you want to be more stable, you have to continue to have outstanding authors join in. You should contact Yamada Nobuichi with a gentle attitude. If he is not satisfied with the conditions, you can increase the weight appropriately. It is best to let him You can sign a contract with us directly!”
"Hi!" Nagano Narumi immediately agreed to the minister's request. This was Nagano Narumi's work.
