Can we trust Myōken-no-zō?

While the mental link was still intact, he asked Zi.

"I don't trust it," Tendo Kagura said calmly.

"Then why did you let him leave?" Jianzi asked curiously. Judging from Miaojianzun's attitude, he was clearly being manipulated by Tiandao Shenle.

Tendou Kagura said indifferently, "Killing him would be even more inappropriate."

Myoken-no-Mikoto is, after all, a deity who guards the spirit realm corresponding to Chiba, and he is not one to kill easily.

Seeing that she didn't believe Myōken-no-Mikoto would keep his promise, she thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and find another deity."

"No need," Tendou Kagura said calmly.

He raised his hand as he spoke.

In an instant, a great light shone forth, illuminating his entire body. Jianzi noticed that Tiandao Shenle had become transparent again, his whole body like a crystal statue, exuding a fearsome aura.

The wounds are still there, but there are far fewer of them, so it seems that the injuries have improved.

"Show yourself!" he demanded, his voice laced with righteous indignation.

Just as Jianzi was puzzled, she was surprised to find that another figure had appeared in the doorway, but she felt that he was in a disheveled state, as if he had been forcibly dragged there.

"Long time no see," Tendo Kagura said calmly, gazing ahead.

"This is..." Myoken-no-sama was surprised and confused, completely not understanding what had happened. He had only left for a short time when he heard the voice of "Appear" coming from somewhere, and he subconsciously returned.

But once he arrived here, he realized what was happening.

"It seems you are indeed a god who keeps his promises." Kagura gazed into the void and nodded slowly.

The power of liars remains effective even against invisible spirit beings.

While this method is ineffective against those of the same level, it is sufficient for Myōken-no-Mikoto.

Myoken-no-Mikoto, being a deity, quickly realized what was happening and left again in extreme frustration, knowing he would likely never have a peaceful life again.

Seeing that her mouth was agape in surprise, she didn't believe that Myoken had returned voluntarily. She remembered seeing a similar scene when she begged Tendou Kagura to save Yūria.

"What kind of ability is this?"

"Spiritualist System, Sequence 5, Liar."

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Chapter 43: That's all.

Seeing Zi blink, she knew about the mysterious methods that Tiandao Shenle had mentioned.

The Warrior and Shadow systems—Tendo Kagura had told her about those mysterious knowledge points that could help humanity unlock the mysteries of the universe.

But today was the first time she had ever heard of a spiritual healer.

"Are you the psychiatrist?"

“That’s fine.” Kagura Tendo paused for a moment, pondered silently, and then suddenly said, “Let’s go back.”

After saying that, he turned and left first.

Xiao Hua asked in surprise, "Is it over already? Jianzi, what happened?"

“We met with God…” Jianzi told Xiaohua in a soft voice what had happened. Xiaohua’s current spiritual vision could not see anything deeper.

Yuria, who was listening nearby, was somewhat dazed: "Did you see Myoken-no-Mikoto?"

"Yes, but I find those gods very strange." When she heard the pale arms reaching out from the portal, trying to pull her into the spirit world, she knew that if it weren't for the intervention of the Heavenly Dao Kagura, she would have been doomed.

Yorry Adam immediately took out his phone, searched for a moment, and quickly found the relevant information.

She looked up at Tendo Kagura, who was walking at the front. His back was as silent as a mountain. Yūria bit her lip, a look of fear flashing in her eyes, and then said to Miko:

"Myoken-no-mikoto's full name is Hokushin Myoken-no-mikoto-sei

The Chiba family built a temple to enshrine him in ancient times, which was the predecessor of Chiba Shrine. However, the name Myoken-no-Mikoto actually comes from Esoteric Buddhism and Myoken-boss, but the ancient myths and legends are extremely chaotic and inconsistent, making it difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Japan's foundation was too shallow, and it was influenced by a variety of foreign civilizations. First, it was the ancient civilization across the strait, and later it adopted Buddhism, which flourished everywhere and gave rise to many temples and shrines.

The local belief in deities was severely suppressed. Later, Buddhism proposed the concept of "local manifestations," claiming that Buddhas or Bodhisattvas are "local beings," and that the gods worshipped in Japanese Shintoism are "incarnations" or "manifestations" of Buddhas or Bodhisattvas. Furthermore, it regarded the Japanese gods as guardian deities of Buddhism.

However, this idea was ultimately suppressed by the Ise Grand Shrine during the medieval period, which established Ise Shinto in order to ensure the purity and orthodoxy of its own people.

This was also the prototype of Shintoism.

Ise Shinto, in turn, used the concept of "local deities" to claim that the gods of Japan were "local" while Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were "manifestations," a doctrine of "gods as masters and Buddhas as followers."

This information can be found online, and many scholars who study myths and folk legends have investigated the detailed historical context.

Many experts believe that this has had a profound cultural impact.

Due to her own circumstances, Yuria studied this knowledge seriously for a period of time, intending to find the real Onmyoji and Shrine Maidens in historical legends, to distinguish which were real and which were fake, and to learn magic.

But in the end she was disappointed. Even when she went to the shrine to worship and it was clearly stated in public that she could see, the priests could not understand what she was saying, and she was regarded as a strange person by many tourists.

At that time, Yuria was at a loss, but her chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) was so severe that she firmly believed that there was a mysterious untapped potential within her. Later, after learning about the Shitamachi Shrine Mother, she kept begging to become her apprentice.

In the past, she was extremely enthusiastic about these things, but now she is afraid.

She didn't know if she could be considered Miko's companion. According to Xiaohua, it was Miko who desperately begged a person named Tendou Kagura to save her, otherwise she would never have woken up.

Seeing that Zi didn't know Yulia's inner thoughts, she only felt that Yulia was obedient and quiet today, with a body size similar to that of an elementary school student, and had little presence.

However, after being honest for a while and sharing this knowledge, she did serve a purpose.

After hearing what Youliya had said, Zizi finished speaking.

She knew in her heart that if this past event really involved the gods, it was definitely a lost history that could uncover many clues about the gods of the past.

Seeing that Zi had taken two quick steps and arrived at Tendo Kagura's side, she looked at his cold and stern face, which seemed to be lost in thought. His brows were furrowed, making him appear somewhat gloomy and repressed.

Miko believed that even Kagura could hear Yūria's words.

As if she had discovered valuable information, she asked with some delight, "Kagura-kun, what do you think?"

Tendou Kagura stopped and turned to look at Kenji. His eyes were deep, and his words were as cold as a thin layer of ice.

"Exploring ancient history is pointless."

Seeing that it was as if a layer of cold water had been poured on her, she suddenly remembered that Tendou Kagura could summon Myoken-no-Mikoto at will, just like Sun Wukong summoning the local earth god in Journey to the West.

Kagura Tendou sighed softly, "You should look forward. You don't need to follow in the footsteps of the gods. The past is of no use to you."

After saying this, Tendou Kagura continued forward, then suddenly turned around and saw that Miko was still in the same place.

A hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes as he quietly said, "Come with me."

Seeing that Zi was following closely behind him, followed by Yurikawa Hana and Yuria.

The journey wasn't long, and the four of them arrived at the Endo residence.

Seeing that Zi and Xiao Hua were just visiting guests, You Liya was very reserved. She rarely entered other people's homes, let alone Tiandao Shen Le, whom she considered an unfathomable powerhouse. After arriving here, she dared not look at or touch anything, afraid of violating taboos. Who knows, there might be a pair of eyes open in some dark corner right now, secretly showing her covetousness.

"Please make yourself at home," said Kagura Tendou, his attitude becoming much more amiable once he arrived at the house, addressing Miko and the others.

"Let's have dinner here tonight." He glanced at Xiaohua and Youliya as he spoke, the latter seeming somewhat flattered.

"Oh, really?!" Yurikawa was overjoyed. She always had a big appetite and rarely ate her fill.

Strangely, after becoming a warrior, she no longer felt hungry. Even if she missed a meal or two, she would only feel a little weak, but she did not feel excessively hungry.

Especially when she activates her own special ability, her physical strength is quickly depleted, which is why she feels very hungry.

But if she really wanted to eat it, I feel like she could eat a whole cow.

Okay! Let's eat the amount for a whole cow!

Is this appropriate?

Seeing Zi, she felt a little embarrassed, but also had a strange sense of anticipation.

Kagura Tendo said softly, "It's nothing. You've been working very hard lately."

"I didn't do anything." Miko shook her head silently. She felt that Tendo Kagura was the one who had done the most and carried the heaviest burden, but she couldn't help much.

"Take a break."

Kagura Tendo enters the kitchen to see what can be made from the ingredients.

"Let me help." Jianzi also got up and followed him into the kitchen.

Tendou Kagura did not refuse.

In the living room, Yuri Kawana, who was originally as cheerful as a ray of sunshine, looked momentarily downcast when she saw Miko enter the kitchen.

"Xiao Hua, are you alright?" Yuria asked Baihechuan Hua.

I noticed that the flame manifested in her life aura was very weak.

"If I can see that my daughter is happy, I can give her up!" Xiao Hua's tone was filled with the grief of a victim, just like seeing his wife nestled in someone else's arms.

Yulia was immediately shocked by Xiaohua's generous and tragic demeanor.

"I remember... you two were just best friends, right?"

Could it be that these two extremely close friends have developed a relationship beyond friendship?

Baihe Chuanhua was stunned for a moment, then the flame of life was rekindled. He scratched his head and said, "Then it's alright."

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Chapter Forty-Four: No Place for Me Anymore

Kagura Tendo is making a cream stew. Miko is peeling potatoes and radishes, while Kagura is simmering butter and milk. He is a very good cook and acts in an orderly manner.

Seeing that Zi's initial nervousness had gradually subsided, it was as if she no longer needed to worry about those strange things.

She carefully chopped the potatoes and carrots into small pieces, then peeled the onion. Her slender fingers tore off the outer skin, and she sensed a sense of tranquility. A faint smile appeared on her lips.

It was a joy that came from nowhere, a joy that emanated from the heart, making her smile subtly, though it wasn't overt.

"This probably isn't enough for Hua to eat." Jianzi looked at the stainless steel stew pot, which was probably enough for six people. The thick yellow broth was boiling and already emitting a fragrant aroma.

Tendou Kagura coats the pork chops with batter and deep-fries them.

Japanese cuisine tends to be mild, and they love to boil ingredients, including green peppers and onions. This is somewhat different from his eating habits, so Kagura Tendo has never made any strongly flavored dishes, lest Suzuka not like them.

He calmly flipped the pork chopsticks with long chopsticks. He was tall and slender with a well-proportioned figure. Standing in front of the stove, his arms were thin but never wavered, giving people a strong and powerful feeling. His handsome features were truly better than many movie stars.
