However, his act of leading the clergy to escape would not have been a big deal if no miracle had occurred. But since the miracle had obviously worked, he was no longer fit to continue serving as the chief priest of Sengen Taisha Shrine.
A priest who cannot be firm in his own beliefs and chooses life over beliefs will certainly not be able to convince the public.
"Pass the order to start the festival. Sengen Taisha Shrine will welcome a new chief priest."
The current chief priest said to the acting chief priest beside him. The acting chief priest is the deputy chief priest, who is the substitute when the chief priest is absent and the second most important person in the shrine system.
If nothing unexpected happens, the acting chief minister will automatically take over after the current chief minister steps down. But now that something unexpected has happened, it naturally cannot continue like this.
After all, the current chief priest had to resign due to an accident, and now that the true god has appeared in the world, it is natural to re-select a chief priest who is more in line with the god.
"When will the festival be held?" asked Quan Gongsi at the side. Usually the festival is held during the Chinese New Year, but it is still more than half a month away from the Chinese New Year.
"Hmm..." The current chief priest lowered his head and thought for a moment. The festival must be grand, and the people of the whole country must be informed that a miracle has occurred here.
"Let's do it when the New Year comes. After all, the atmosphere is only there during the New Year, and more than half a month is enough for us to hold the activities required for the festival."
"Let's tell the other people in the shrine first, and make the selection of the chief priest public. All the clergy of Sengen Shrine can participate in the selection. After all, the god has appeared in the world, and the previous ranking will definitely not work."
"I'm sorry, Sato, you were supposed to be the new chief priest after I stepped down."
"It's okay." Gonmiyaji, who was called Sato, smiled and said, "I'll just be a deputy. If I really become a decision maker, I'm afraid I'm not used to it yet."
"Let's go and inform the people below first. I'm afraid they are the ones who are really excited. After all, this is a chance to reach the sky in one step."
"Haha, that's true."
After a while, when the Chief Priest informed all the clergy below, everyone seemed very excited.
After all, this time the selection of the chief priest is open to all clergy, and everyone of them has a chance. This is a shrine where the gods appear, and if one can become the chief priest, it will be a meteoric rise to the top.
Reimu Furude was also very excited about this. She was the full-time shrine maiden in charge of the Kagura dance. Although shrine maidens were not completely professional priests, they were also clergymen, so she also had a chance!
Although the chances are slim, people can't be completely without dreams, right?
The excitement in Furude Reimu's heart was fully revealed on her face, and she ran excitedly to prepare the things needed for the festival.
In order to hold the best festival possible, we must start preparing now.
"This should be the room, right?"
Reimu Furude looked at the rather shabby wooden door in front of her. She had just been instructed to get the musical instruments needed for the festival.
"Open it and take a look."
As Furude Reimu pushed open the wooden door in front of her, a creaking sound was heard, and behind the dilapidated wooden door was a void of darkness.
"This is……"
Before Furude Reimu could finish her words, the scene in front of her suddenly rotated and changed, and she appeared in an ancient study.
"Hey, hey, I haven't had any guests here for a long time."
Chapter 181 Book
In the antique study room, there are rows of wooden bookshelves against the walls. The books on the shelves are blurry and their titles and shapes cannot be seen clearly, as if they were blocked by fog.
In the center of the study, there was a round carpet with intricate prints, on top of which was a wooden recliner with a blanket. A strange man was lying on the recliner, looking at Reimu Furutte lazily.
The man had black hair and black eyes, and wore a pair of round-frame glasses with black and gold rims on his nose. He was wearing a loose black and purple kimono with gold-rimmed patterns embroidered on it. In his arms, he had a white cat without a single spot of color.
"Oh? The guest this time is a little girl."
The half-lying man suddenly spoke with a somewhat lazy tone, waking up the dazed Furude Reimu.
"Well, who are you?"
Reimu Furude asked cautiously. She had just experienced the miracle of the Sakura Goddess, so she knew that this world was definitely not as simple as she imagined.
Judging from the current situation, she must have been possessed by an evil spirit... bah, she was made invisible by a spirit.
The so-called "kami-in" means "being hidden by gods and monsters", being entertained by them, disappearing from human society and losing one's whereabouts.
Thinking of this, Furude Reimu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. People who go missing will disappear from human society, so can she still return to the human world?
"Of course. If you want, I can take you back now. After all, you're a long-lost guest." The man seemed to have the ability to read minds. He saw what Furude Reimu was thinking and answered her.
Hearing this, Furude Reimu's heart instantly became active. Although she didn't know why she came here, did this mean that her ordinary life would change?
But before Furude Reimu could ask again, the man continued, "You can call me Takesora-kun. This is my bookstore. It can fulfill wishes~."
At this point, the man put his index and middle fingers together, pushed up his glasses, and said as if reminiscing, "The last guest, I remember his last name was Abe, what was his name?"
Abe is so beautiful!
This name suddenly popped up in Furude Reimu's mind. After all, it was related to these mysteries, and it seemed that the only person with the surname Abe was the great Onmyoji Abe Seimei!
"Oh, now I remember that the last guest's surname was Abe, Abe Yoshizai."
???
Furude Reimu was a little confused. She actually guessed wrong. Who is this Abe Masuzai? It sounded familiar. She was just a little bit away from remembering it.
"After that guest came to me and fulfilled his wish, I heard that he later married a white fox named Kuzuye and lived a wonderful life."
"But later, for some reason, I fell into a deep sleep and only woke up today. You are the first guest I met after I woke up."
"How about it, little girl, do you want to make your wish come true?"
Listening to Takesora talking about the past in a seductive tone, Furude Reimu finally remembered why she felt familiar with the name Abe Yoshizai.
Abe Masuzai, isn't he the father of Abe Seimei? According to legend, the white fox Kuzuya married him and gave birth to the great Onmyoji Abe Seimei.
It turns out that Abe Seimei's father had also been here and fulfilled a wish he didn't know what it was.
"Um, may I ask what is the price of the wish?" Furude Reimu asked cautiously. There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no such thing as a wish being fulfilled for no reason.
The man in front of him didn't look like a genie in a magic lamp, nor did he look like a dragon that could fulfill wishes.
"Hey, hey, don't be so nervous." Zhukong, who was sitting on the recliner, suddenly sat up and stood up in his loose kimono.
"Let me look for it. It should be here." After placing the cat in his hand on the recliner, Zhu Kong walked slowly to the wooden bookshelf on the side and ran his fingers across the spines of the rows of books whose titles could not be seen.
As his body moved, his fingers finally stopped on the spine of a slightly thin book.
"found it."
Pulling out the book which didn't look that thick, Takesora walked towards Reimu Furude who was still standing there.
Seeing this, Furude Reimu became a little flustered and instinctively wanted to take a step back, but Takesora-kun looked harmless, nor like a bad person, and his smiling face was so handsome.
Not knowing what she was thinking about, Furude Reimu's pretty face turned red and she silently cursed herself in her heart.
"Haha, take it. You don't need to care about the price right now."
Takesora walked up to Reimu Furude and smiled gently. He took the girl's hand and put the book he was holding into her hand.
And at the moment when Reimu Furude touched the book, her figure suddenly disappeared in the bookstore, as if she had never appeared.
After completing this task, Zhu Kong stretched, slowly returned to his recliner, picked up his Xiaobai, and lay down again.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that after only a few months, I could create the god that I originally had to pretend to be myself."
"But it's not enough for the gods to appear in the island country alone. The gods of foreign countries should also show up. Otherwise, it would be too strange if the supernatural always appears in the island country."
"Isn't that right? Xiaobai, do you want to go to a foreign country?"
"Meow~"
"Okay, I knew you wanted to go, let's go!"
………………
At the same time, outside the dilapidated wooden door.
Reimu Furude's eyes suddenly blurred, and when the scene in front of her returned to normal, she realized that she had returned to the wooden door.
The shabby wooden door in front remained the same, as if it had never been opened from the beginning to the end.
But the book in her hand was telling her that everything that had just happened was not an illusion, and she had indeed entered a magical bookstore.
That’s right, the book that Zhukongjun had forced into her hands was also brought out.
After hesitating for a moment, Furude Reimu carefully put the book she had brought out close to her body. Now was not the time to read.
There is no title on the book, just like an old ancient thread-bound book, you can't tell anything from the appearance.
She took a deep breath and exhaled to calm her wandering mind. Then, Furude Reimu looked at the somewhat shabby wooden door in front of her and pushed it open again without hesitation.
This time, behind the door was just an ordinary storage room. The quaint study and the lazy Zhukong-kun were not there.
Furude Reimu breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason a faint sense of loss emerged in her heart.
But the work had to be done, and after searching in the utility room for a while, she found the musical instruments needed for the ceremony.
After picking up the instrument, Furute Reimu closed the two shabby wooden doors and left without looking back.
As for whether or not to report this matter to the current palace chief, she would have to take a look at the ancient thread-bound book before making a decision.
As for whether she would be used as a pawn, she didn't care. There were many people who wanted to be used as pawns but had no chance to do so. The result was not important, only the process was.
Anyway, she is alone now and has no one to rely on. In that case, why not make her life more exciting.
Since I am lucky enough to encounter such a thing, I must seize it well. This kind of supernatural event is something that not many people will encounter.
Reimu Furute, who was walking quickly with her instrument in hand, had made up her mind in a short period of time that no matter what was written in the book, she would grasp it.
Chapter 182: Ursu Patriarch
Europe, Romania.
When the world suddenly changed, this EU member state with the blue, yellow and red flag naturally learned about this.
Although there was a war between vampires and werewolves in their country, and angels came to the rescue in the end, this incident did not bring about much change.
Whatever happened, not only did they not gain any benefits, but even the tourist attraction Brown Castle was destroyed.
The only one who benefits is America. Klaus, the President of Romania, can do nothing about it because a weak country has no diplomacy.
They may not be weak, but compared with the world hegemon, they still cannot be tough. After all, their total GDP, scientific and technological strength, and military strength are all the best in the world. What can they compare with?
The information revealed in that battle let him know that there were really vampires in their country, which was known as the homeland of vampires!
Who says there are no vampires in the hometown of vampires? Just like there are no wives in wife cakes!
But then all the vampires were killed, and only a few survived.
"Although the fantasy creatures were resurrected, the vampires and the like were probably destroyed in that battle."
Looking at the trends of various countries forming teams of super-powered people, Klaus muttered to himself that he had also read the battle report of that battle. After all, he was the president, it was impossible that he really knew nothing.
The vampires who survived the holy light were taken away by America, and the other vampires were turned to ashes under the holy light of the angels.
"Forget it, let's just symbolically mention it to the public. Maybe there really are people with hidden superpowers out there?"
Klaus also plans to follow suit and form a team of superpowers in the Supreme National Defense Council.
In Romania's national defense system, the president is the supreme commander of the armed forces, and the president exercises leadership and command over the country's armed forces through the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff.
"Mr. President, you will be meeting with the head of the Ursu family this afternoon. If you want to hold a press conference, you can only wait until tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, okay, I get it." Klaus waved his hand and said to his deputy next to him, "I won't disrupt my schedule."
Klaus's schedule today was packed, whether it was work in the morning or meetings in the afternoon.
Speaking of which, the head of the Ursu family is truly a legendary figure. He was born into a down-and-out old noble family, but he rose to become an upper-class person with his own strength.
Moreover, it took less than half a year for that patriarch to rise to power, as if he was helped by God, or as if destiny was on his side.
Under the tide of the times, these aristocrats of the old times should have been dead or disabled, and would never be able to make waves no matter what.
But only the head of the Ursu family could break the tide of the times. The huge wave called the times could not smash him to pieces. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a miracle.
Klaus would naturally be interested in this kind of person, but his men found out nothing through their investigation, as if the head of the Ursu family really had the utmost personal charm.
No matter what kind of entrepreneur or local official, after meeting with the head of the Ursu family, they will be impressed by him and become the supporting force behind him.
Klaus also sent people to talk to those who supported the head of the Ursu family, but from their words and expressions, it can be seen that they are indeed sincere.
Just like that, in a short period of time, the head of the Ursu family rose rapidly, and his Ursu family became the upper class, and even reached the level of being able to meet with him. You have to know that he is the president of this country.
"Oh, now that I think about it, the head of the Ursu family is really a legendary figure. I really can't wait to meet him."
"Look at how strong his charisma is. He can make so many people in high positions admire him."
