I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 92: The King of Honnoji (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
In this world, there are exorcists, monsters, and gods. Generally speaking, the shrines and sacred areas are sacred and pure.

Unless the god himself allows it, no one, whether it is a monster or anything else, can enter the realm of the gods.

If a demon hunter dared to use magic to spy on the divine realm, it would be an offense to the gods.

Kusaka Nagamasa had heard this from his father, and the best way to avoid being watched by the exorcists was to go to the Great Shrine.

He didn't know whether Dong Ye Yu had that kind of mysterious magic, but if he did and was monitoring him, his plan would be exposed and everything would be over.

I can't help but be meticulous and careful.

As for whether he would be punished by the gods for planning a conspiracy in the shrine, he was very clear about this - no.

This is related to a major event in ancient times. It is said that at that time, gods and mortals made an agreement that what belongs to gods would belong to gods, and what belongs to mortals would belong to mortals.

Since then, legends about gods directly intervening in the mundane world have suddenly become much less common, and priests and others rarely interfere in the mundane world.

They will only take action when evil spirits are causing trouble, and on ordinary days they only do some work such as praying, salvation, and exorcism.

Blessed by gods, they are in a transcendent position. As long as they don't get themselves involved in the whirlpool of the world, the power struggles and fights among mortals have nothing to do with them.

Moreover, throughout history, whether it was vicious betrayal or some other evil tricks, many of them were carried out in shrines and temples, and no god ever intervened.

This can be testified by the King of Honnoji Burning. Akechi Mitsuhide even burned down the temple, but the gods did not intervene.

It was not yet time to get off work, and although there were many vehicles on the street, it was not crowded.

Furuya Tsunayoshi quickly drove to the Chiyoda Kanda Shrine and parked his car in the parking lot outside the shrine.

On a bright spring afternoon, many tourists and believers came in and out of Kanda Shrine.

Kanda Shrine is a large shrine. The main deity enshrined is Kanda Myojin, which is the collective name of the three pillars: Omi Takamikoto (Okuninushi), Sukunahikona (Sukunahikona), and Taira Masakado (Taira Masakado).

There are other Kunitsu gods in the shrine, and it is one of the famous shrines in Tokyo with great popularity.

The gods of the island country are different from those of Shenzhou. The gods here are roughly divided into two factions, Tianjin God and Kunizu God.

The gods of Tianjin are the gods of Takamagahara (the divine world of the island nation) and their descendants, who are called the gods of heaven.

Kunitsu God is the god of Ashihara China (i.e. the island nation of humans), and is known as the earth god.

The composition of the Kunitsu gods is very complex. Some are born gods, some are mortals or monsters who were canonized as gods, and a considerable number are foreign gods.

For example, the three gods of Fu, Lu, Shou and Wenchang all came from the Central Plains of China.

Vaisravana comes from India. In the Central Plains of China, he is known as the Northern God of Wealth and is one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Mahakala is a Hindu god who is said to be an incarnation of Shiva.

There was no harmony between Tianjin God and Kunizu God, and there was even a war between them.

Okuninushi was once the god who ruled over Awahara China. At that time, humans, gods, demons and ghosts lived together, and the gods directly controlled the human world.

But later, Amaterasu Omikami, the lord of Takamagahara, said to her son Amenohiro-no-Mikoto.

"The land of the water spikes of the thousand-autumn-long reed plains and the five-hundred-autumn-long reed plains is your land."

Then he let his son lead the gods to conquer Awahara China with great momentum.

As a result, after fighting for a long time and reaching a stalemate, they returned to Takama-ga-hara to ask for help, and Amaterasu Omikami sent Takemikaze Raijin to deal with the situation.

Takemikaze is the most powerful warrior among the gods in Tianjin. His status in Takama-ga-hara is roughly equivalent to Erlang Shen in heaven in Journey to the West.

This time, there was no more trouble. Takemikata, the god of thunder, beat Takemikata, the god of wind, the son of Okuninushi, the ruler of Kunitsu, to his knees and kowtow for mercy. Seeing that his most powerful son was defeated, Okuninushi surrendered and gave Kuniyu Tenninho his life.

After Okuninushi abdicated, his clergy duties changed and he retired to Izumo.

However, perhaps because the Tianjin gods were unwilling to leave Takamagahara, Amennin Horo-no-Mikoto did not personally rule Awajira China as Amaterasu Omikami had said, but instead let her son rule it, named Tensun.

It's quite difficult. The Emperor of Shenzhou is the Son of Heaven after all, while the Emperor of the island country is directly demoted to a grandson.

It is precisely because the Tianjin gods despise Awahara China that the Kunitsu gods still hold a considerable portion of the god positions of mountains, rivers and Heze, and Okuninushi is still the chief of the earthly gods.

It is said that a Shinto meeting is held at Izumo Taisha every year to deal with the affairs of the gods for the year, and then a banquet is held.

The two got out of the car, walked into the shrine's majestic Zuishinmon Gate, and set foot on the approach to the shrine.

Although Furuya Tsunayoshi was curious about what was going on at the shrine, he didn't rush to ask.

He just followed along, his eyes fixed on the many historical books and cultural landscapes in the shrine, as if he was here for a visit.

As they walked, they came to a secluded resting place under the shade of a tree.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and casts golden spots on several stone benches arranged in an orderly manner. Not far away there is a stone sculpture of an unknown god, and some tourists are taking photos there.

"Uncle, I sent you Dong Yeyu's information before. You should have read it, right?"

Kusaka Nagamasa spoke quietly with a calm expression in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Furuya Tsunayoshi nodded: "That Tono-san's situation is indeed very suitable for the Asumimi family, but... is there really such a person in the world?"

He had been involved in gangs in his early years and occasionally heard about exorcists, but he basically treated them as urban legends.

Later, he entered the Kusaka family through his sister's connections. Although his hard work and talent would not make him a hopeless case, he was not exposed to things that only the top management would know.

"Well, another branch of the Kusaka family is the family of demon exorcists."

Furuya Tsunayoshi took a few seconds to take it in before turning his attention to the more important things at hand.

"So, he does have a great influence on your future plans. If you leave it alone..."

"Nagamasa, what are you going to do?"

Kusaka Nagamasa glanced at him and said lightly.

"I have some preliminary ideas, but people like them are very alert, so we have to be quick and decisive."

Ever since he made the decision to get rid of Dong Ye Yu at noon, he began to think about the plan.

Since you have decided to deal with an exorcist, you must kill him with one blow and not give him a chance to breathe or hide, otherwise there will be endless trouble.

The information that Bianchuan had previously passed on was very useful, covering almost all the trajectories of Higashino Yu's life in Tokyo. The outline of a plan gradually emerged in Kusaka Nagamasa's mind.

Furuya Tsunayoshi came closer, his expression inquiring, "How do we do this?"

He was able to clean up his way from a yakuza to a respectable man today, all thanks to his sister and nephew.

Seeing that his future wealth was about to be disrupted by a high school student, he naturally couldn't bear it.

However, demon hunters, who only exist in legends for ordinary people, have never been killed. We can't just find a few gangsters to kill them with knives, right?
It is not certain who will kill whom.

Kusaka Nagamasa pondered for two seconds, "I'll have to trouble my uncle to hire some people. The initial plan requires two teams. One team will need at least two people, and they must be very skilled in shooting. Can you get a shotgun? It would be best if you can get a rifle."
