Bird Soul: Unparalleled National Warriors at the Beginning.

Chapter 662: The Taste of Authority

"Master Palace Master, the person who came to pay homage to Kirishima Shrine this time is a chief executive of the Symbiosis Company, named Beichuan Kui."

After hearing the report from a shrine maiden, the current chief priestess of Kirishima Jingu Shrine, Usumusa Tomoko, slowly put down the sakaki branch in her hand.

"Symbiosis Company? I haven't heard of this company for a long time. It seems that the heir of that person is here to claim power.

But unfortunately, not everyone can obtain the power of authority, especially those who are not surnamed Jiuchao but rather outsiders. It is possible that they are just trying their best and think that power is so easy to obtain.

By the way, how old is this Beichuan Kui? "

"Probably seventeen or eighteen years old." the witch reported.

"Is that so? Then it's useless for him to come. What power can a young man of seventeen or eighteen have? He is probably a puppet pushed up by the old guys in the company. Although Suzuki Shinga and Yoshioka Nobuo were once loyal to Master Washiu, after so many years, it's inevitable that they want to establish themselves as kings. I want to see what this kid can do."

Bomo Zuozhizi smiled coldly.

She was old, to be sure, but she was not stupid.

How could she not know what these people in the company were thinking?

Whoever obtains the power of Eagle Nest will be able to dominate Kansai and become the strongest underworld overlord.

There is no way they didn't know this.

Therefore, the Beichuan Puppet was probably just a puppet that was pushed up, and was only responsible for being the human-shaped carrier of the power of the Eagle Nest. It was no different from Huotian Ni.

The people pushing behind the scenes are still the old guys like Suzuki Shingo.

"But the people around that young man are not simple people." The witch continued to report.

"Tell me, who are they? With Suzuki's methods, he probably used his connections to invite some famous people to help out, but I'm not sure if this will pass the test of my ears."

The corners of Bo Mozuzuo's lips raised slightly.

Back then, Washusuoyan was extremely powerful, and he could worship at the shrine with the authority of one person.

And that Beichuan Kui still needs help from others, which shows that he is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and is completely incomparable to Jiu Suo Yan.

"There is a miko from the Nana-go-Sanki family, Nana-go-Sanki Natsu, who is Kubiki's classmate."

Hearing about this family, Bo Mozu Chiko's expression changed slightly. The Shichigo Sanmu family is a very authoritative neutral family in both the black and white worlds, and its influence is not to be underestimated.

Neon has a festival named after this family. November 3th of every year is Neon's "Shichi-Go-San Festival". On this day, 5- and 3-year-old boys and 7- and -year-old girls will wear traditional Japanese dresses and go to the shrine with their parents to pray for good health and smooth development.

This festival has a long history, originating in the Heian period in the eighth century.

In other words, the Shichigosanki family was already quite prestigious in that era.

It is difficult for anyone to guess the background of such a famous family with a long history.

Moreover, the Qiwusanmu family has always been neutral, and very few of them would take action for an individual or a force. The fact that the miko from the Qiwusanmu family chose to help Beichuan Kui also shows that this person is worthy of help, rather than being a mere puppet.

"We are just classmates, what else is there?"

Bo Mozu Chiko forced herself to calm down and continued asking.

"There is also the first person on the White Dragon throne, Mr. Muku Chiaki, who seems to be here in the name of the puppet's father-in-law; and there is also a woman from the Seiwa Genji, who came to pay homage in the name of the puppet's cousin."

Hearing these two names, Ushiozumi Tomoko opened her mouth with a look of shock on her face.

The first person on the Dragon Throne is a well-known title even in the white world. All the previous leaders of the Dragon Throne and the presidents of the Mahjong Alliance are allowed to visit the shrine.

You should know that when one's mahjong skills reach a certain level, one can have a sense of heaven and communicate with gods better than a shaman, who also needs to perform various rituals.

Some gods are very arrogant. Even if the priestess tries her best, she is unwilling to even glance at them. However, these top mahjong players who have reached the pinnacle of mahjong can even communicate with the gods directly.

Therefore, no matter which shrine it is, it must be on good terms with the leader of the White Path.

As for Seiwa Genichirō, it is also an extremely noble surname in Japan. It originated from Emperor Seiwa, but with this surname, one can visit the shrine without hindrance.

"There is another girl, Fukumaru, who holds the power of the Dragon God and has a token passed down by successive Dragon Gods."

After hearing this, Bo Mozu Chiko was completely speechless.

Holding the power of the Dragon God means that the Dragon God lost this Dragon God Game, so he is the rightful heir to the power of Washinya. As the chief priest of Kirishima, he should hand over the power with both hands.

"Please invite Lord Beichuan in quickly."

Kirishima Miyaji's expression changed, and the expression on his old face became a little more flattering.

A young girl around him holds the power of the Dragon God, so how could the chief of the palace be a simple person?
What's more, he is surrounded by so many prominent families, so he is fully qualified to visit the shrine.

Even the many gods of Kirishima will surely welcome it.

"Yes."

The witch took the order and left.

Kirishima Miyaji was rubbing his hands like a fly, his heart beaming with joy.

The authority of Eagle's Nest is kept in Kirishima, and no one can use it without authorization. The power of authority is particularly special and not something that ordinary people can bear.

And now that someone is finally able to inherit the power of Eagle Nest, it is definitely a great joy for Kirishima.

You must know that the main deity of Kirishima, Tenraishi Kokuraishi Tenjin Hidakahiko Huo Qiongqiongchison, has not communicated with the shrine for decades. If this continues, Kirishima Shrine may be stripped of its title and its status will be lowered.

All shrines are either able to communicate with the Supreme Divine or enshrine supreme divine artifacts. For example, Atsuta Jingu Shrine in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, enshrines Atsuta Omikami, whose deity is the Kusanagi sword, also known as Ame Murakumo, one of the three sacred artifacts of the Japanese royal family.

Only in this way can it be called a shrine.

And the Lord God of Kirishima has not delivered any oracle in decades.

If this continues, the original Amagiri Shrine will become Kirishima Shrine, and then it will become an ordinary shrine!
If Lord Kitagawa inherits the power of Washi-no-Sho and can communicate with the Lord God through divine communication, even if it is just an oracle, Kirishima Shrine will not be downgraded.

When the palace judge was secretly delighted, he glanced in front of him and saw the girl with her clothes torn to pieces, and suddenly felt sick.

"Xia, there will be a distinguished guest coming to Kirishima. You and Lanlan, please dress up and serve the master well. If you make any mistakes, I will let you know the more severe consequences."

Ishido Kasumi's hands and feet were bound by chains, and the whip marks on her body had not yet disappeared. She raised her head and looked at Bo Mozuo Chieko: "Master Gongsi, I acted on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with Lanlan."

"Shut up!"

Bo Mozuo Chiko suddenly became crazy, "You bitch, how dare you bring that wild boy Nan Mengyan into the sacred domain of God without permission, and even have physical contact with him, defiling the temple, it's simply lawless.

That little girl Ishihu Lanlan is so bold. She knew clearly that you and Nan Mengyan were having an affair, but she still dared to cover it up and not tell me. Her crime is even more serious.

I had memorized the scent of that wild boy Nan Mengyan as early as the first time you came into contact with him. The scent is even stronger this time. You have been having an affair with him for at least a month.

Nothing can be hidden from me. Do you really think that you can hide anything just because you have learned the rituals and secrets of the witches?"

"Grandma, I secretly picked up Nan Yan and served him personally. Lan Lan didn't know about it. I also signed a contract with him. Now I am his."

Ishido Kasumi did not give in because of Urumu Satoshi's rage and remained calm and gentle.

Yes, signing a lifelong contract with Nan Yan is an unchangeable fact. After all, it is recognized by the gods, and even grandma cannot tear it up easily.

"what!"

Bo Mozuzu Chiko was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

Not only did she bring a wild man to the shrine to Yingle without permission, she also signed a contract with him.

Damn it! Hate it! Shame on you!
"Xia, it seems that you really don't take the Shrine seriously. You think that your grandmother can't do anything to you just because you signed a lifelong contract with a wild man."

Kirishima Miyaji laughed in anger, "A lifelong contract cannot be easily torn up by outsiders, but a contract can be defiled. I only need to make you another man's living Tianni, and then use the shrine maidens of other families, such as Karisukohama and Takimikazu Haru, to betroth to Nan Mengyan.

In this way, the lifelong contract you signed with Nan Mengyan is meaningless.

There's no need for me to tear it up, Nan Mengyan and you will break the contract yourself!
Do you think you can keep Nan Mengyan with this body? Men are men after all, and they won't hang themselves on a tree like you.

The so-called unity of love between you and that man is only a physical connection, without the fusion of soul and divinity, and is completely meaningless. "

This move is definitely vicious enough.

It can be said that Ushima Satoshi has achieved the position of Kirishima priestess and is very experienced in dealing with shrine maidens who are not in harmony with their bodies and minds.

In the past, there have been cases where the family's shrine maidens signed contracts with wild men without permission, but in the end they were heartbroken and tore up the contracts and accepted re-education.

"Grandma, why bother..."

After hearing this, Shi Huxia finally showed a trace of panic.

Although she and Nan Yan have a contractual relationship, if grandma uses this trick, it will definitely corrupt the holy relationship between her and Nan Yan. It is an extremely vicious method.

"Okay, get dressed and follow me."

Bo Mozu Chiko snorted coldly, "The one who came to worship this time is an extremely noble and great man. He is ten thousand times better than Nan Mengyan, the wild boy who sneaked in. You are also one of the most outstanding priestesses in the shrine who was trained by me. If you can be favored, it will be your blessing.

If you can receive the grace of this adult, you will soon forget that little bastard Nan Mengyan!"

Shihu Xia was sad, but there was nothing she could do at the moment. She could only tidy up her clothes and go to serve in a daze.

If the other party unfortunately chooses her.

Then she could only die to show her determination...

"Wow, sister, I was punished so badly."

When I saw Lanlan again, she looked pitiful.

Shi Huxia felt both upset and guilty, after all, it was she who had implicated this girl.

However, the little girl Ishido Lanlan is still cheerful: "Fortunately, the chief executive of a large company came to the shrine to worship, and we finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least grandma won't beat us again during this period.

In fact, being beaten is a small matter. Being hungry is the most uncomfortable thing. I haven’t eaten for several days.

If it weren’t for the visit of this chief, I might have continued to starve.”

After all, they are serving distinguished guests, and they cannot let the guests see that the shrine maiden is so hungry that she is dizzy, skin and bones, and even makes mistakes in the ritual movements.

So when she learned that an important person was visiting the shrine, she was allowed to have a full meal, which would at least last her for a few more days.

"I'm sorry." Shihu Xia was very sad and could only apologize repeatedly.

"It's okay, at least we are safe now."

Ishihu Lanlan clenched her fists and said, "Sister Xia, do you know who this adult is?" "No." Shihu Xia shook her head.

Instead, she hoped that the adult would ignore her.

Ishihu Xia kept her head down the whole time, only Ishihu Lanlan was looking around.

Then she saw the handsome young man surrounded by the crowd, with several elegant beauties following him. The grandmother, who had the final say in the shrine, was also nodding and fawning in front of the young man.

Wow, you are indeed a big shot out there, you are so arrogant!

Even grandma has to kowtow.

That's why, this person looks like Nan Yan.

"Sister, let me tell you a surprising discovery. This adult..."

"quiet!"

Just as Lan Lan was about to tell everyone about her great discovery, Bo Mozu Chiko's harsh words resounded throughout the room, scaring her so much that she almost bit her tongue and quickly fell silent.

"Master Kitagawa, the ceremony and integration of the power of the Washi Nest require a priestess to accompany the whole process. Every priestess of Kirishima is beautiful and charming. Look..."

Ushimozu Chiko spoke in a flattering manner.

It is clearly a sacred and elegant temple, but at this moment it inexplicably feels like a Red Mansion Club.

The reason why the palace maid was so humble was because she saw that Nan Yan was wearing a black dragon ring on his hand, which was the symbol of the prince of the underworld.

In addition, he is served by Shichigo Sangi Natsu, the leader of the White Dragon Throne and the representative of the Shichigo Sangi family, the noble Queen Seiwa, and a young girl who holds the power of the Dragon God.

At this moment, Lord Palace Administrator was completely convinced.

This Mr. Kitagawa cannot be a puppet of those old guys like Suzuki.

With so much power concentrated in one person, it is expected that even the old members of Eagle Nest will not be able to control it.

It's just a little strange that when Bo Mosachiko smelled the scent of Lord Kitagawa, she felt inexplicably similar to that of a wild boy like Nan Mengyan. No, no, no, how dare she have such an overstepping idea? How could Nan Mengyan be able to compare with Lord Kitagawa in any way?

It's just that this young boy has the same aura. Although the aura is similar, it is obvious that Lord Kitagawa's aura is thousands of times nobler than Nan Mengyan!
What a refreshing, sweet and fragrant smell.

On the other hand, a wild boy like Nan Mengyan makes people feel sick just by smelling him!
Nan Yan came here with a very clear purpose.

He saw the witch with her head lowered, and then strode forward.

Feeling someone approaching, Ishihu Xia became more and more nervous. She just hoped that the other party would not choose her. Her body only belonged to one person!

But for some reason, she suddenly felt a slight heartbeat, and the bond from the soul suddenly emerged in her mind.

In an instant, Shihu Xia suddenly raised her delicate head and looked at the young man in front of her with her beautiful eyes.

Although there had been a big change in temperament, she was 100% sure that the other person was the man with whom she had a spiritual and physical connection.

"Hiko-kun, is that you?"

She asked this in her heart.

Soon, Nan Yan gently took the other person's hand and said to Bo Mozuo Chiko in a firm and commanding tone: "I only want her."

Kirishima was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "Master Kitagawa really has a good eye. This shrine maiden is called Ishido Kasumi, she is..."

"No need to say anything, let her take me to the ancient temple where the authority is stored."

Nan Yan raised his hand slightly and interrupted the other party's speech.

"Okay, Xia, take this Lord Beichuan to the ancient palace."

She then ordered the temple to be sealed, and no one, including the priestesses in the shrine, was allowed to enter the sacred ancient temple. After all, the gods of Kirishima were enshrined in the ancient temple.

Even Usumusa Tomoko, the chief priest of Kirishima Palace, was not allowed to enter.

Watching Nan Yan holding the witch's hand and heading towards the ancient temple.

Ishido Lanlan couldn't help but whisper to herself: "This Beichuan-sama looks like Nan Yan!"

"Shut up!"

Bo Mozu Chizi shouted angrily, "What kind of person is Lord Beichuan? When he holds the power of Eagle Nest, there will be few people in this world who are more noble than him. What kind of wild boy is Nan Mengyan? Stop talking nonsense!"

Hearing this, Lan Lan could only shut up.

But there was still an idea lingering in her mind.

Lord Kitagawa and Minami Mengyan, they really look alike! .
To enter Kirishima Temple, you need to pass through many torii gates, and there are solemn Japanese-style murals on all sides.

Even though the ancient temple is seldom cleaned, it is spotless.

This place seems to be protected by divine power. The grass underfoot never withers and is evergreen all year round. It seems as if time has stood still.

In such a large space, only Nan Yan and Ishihu Xia were left.

"Master Beichuan, please follow me."

The witch had a graceful figure, and her steps were light and graceful, which made Nan Yan's heart flutter.

He couldn't help but smile slightly: "Xia, there is no one here anymore."

The witch in front paused, looked back and smiled.

Without much hesitation, she threw herself into Nan Yan's arms.

"Yanjun, I miss you so much."

She had already prepared herself to not see Nan Yan for ten, twenty, thirty years or even forever. After all, it was too difficult to hold power.

But unexpectedly, after more than ten days, Nan Yan returned to her side.

Perhaps, this is a symbol of being favored by God.

"Well, I said I would take you away."

Nan Yan stroked the witch's soft long hair, enjoying her tenderness.

"As long as I integrate the authority here, I can take you away legitimately."

"Ok, I know."

Ishido Kasumi leaned on Nan Yan's shoulder, "But do you know why grandma asked you to appoint a miko to accompany you?"

"Because I need someone to help me understand the procedures and rituals for obtaining authority?" Nan Yan guessed.

"No, authority comes with power. Even if Yanjun comes alone, as long as the authority belongs to you, it will definitely be yours. Rituals and procedures are not important."

Shihu Xia's eyes became more gentle as she stared deeply at Nan Yan.

“In fact, the more important reason is that the power of merging authority means that one needs to bear the fate of the authority’s former owner, as well as the curse of fate that comes with it.

And if a witch becomes Yanjun's Huotianni, then Huotianni will bear a large part of the curse and fate of power."

"I see."

Nan Yan's eyes lit up.

He remembered that Fukumaru Ryou had repeatedly warned him about the dangers of merging authority. Once he obtained the authority of Washi-no-Sou and went for the ultimate battle with the demon god Akagi, he would most likely die even if he defeated Akagi.

This is the destiny.

Just like Fukumaru Akira who had merged the power of the Dragon God, he had a great advantage in the Dragon God game, but in the end he still lost to the successor of Washiu Iwa, that is, him, by one move.

Destiny is something that is truly unpredictable.

After merging his powers, the possibility of him dying in the legendary night increased dramatically.

The chief priest of the shrine also knows this, so he lets the priestess take on the mission of reviving Tenni and bear the curse of power for him.

But for Xia, this may also mean that she has to shoulder an unnecessary burden of fate.

"Xia, are you scared?"

"No, I'm not afraid. What I'm more afraid of is that I'll never see you again. Compared to this, the curse of authority and fate are nothing to mention. What's more, I'm already yours."

Shihu Xia shook her head. She was very happy now.

As a living Tian Ni, it is my duty to protect Nan Yan from disasters.

"Kexia is already my personal living Tianni."

Nan Yan nodded. They had signed a lifelong contract.

"No, there is still one last and most important ritual that has not been completed."

Shi Huxia's face was as fragrant as a newly blossoming peach, with a faint rosy glow, and her gentle eyes were full of affection. Then she gently pushed Nan Yan down on the grass.

"We also need true unity."

The so-called unified love is naturally the complete fusion of spirit and God, body and body, which can be called perfect.

They are just one step away.

"This is a temple." Nan Yan couldn't help but remind.

"Under the witness of the gods, I can further verify my love for you. Isn't this a more romantic thing?"

Xia gently rubbed Nan Yan's cheek.

"Yanjun, let me serve you from now on. You just need to look at me carefully and watch me become one with you."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Nan Yan did not refuse.

What's more, this can free your hands and allow you to hold the food to your heart's content.

In the sacred temple, the two completed the final ceremony in ecstasy.
