Chapter 193: A Lame Person

Soon, Jingong Zhiqin had no choice but to run to Jingong Po Po and say all the nice things he could to her.

In an inner house of the shrine, Jingu Zhiqin felt embarrassed when he thought about the two little girls who were not very pretty and looked like he was about to cry.

They are models and celebrities, the kind that will be reported by the media.

If any scandal were to get out, it would not only damage the reputation of Grandma Jingu, but would also make his position as the chief priest even more precarious.

"Mother-in-law, you should stop getting angry with those young people. You know, it's not easy to recruit shrine maidens these days..."

He tried to persuade the old man with squinting eyes helplessly, because he couldn't afford to offend this ancestor.

"Hmph! It's because of weak chief priests like you that the shrine has fallen into decline! Show me what your own father did!"

Faced with the old man's harsh scolding, Shengong Zhiqin could only smile bitterly.

But there was nothing he could do.

He himself didn't know how his father managed the shrine. Without the endorsement of dignitaries and without any media speculation, he still managed to spread the fame of the shrine.

This was also the important reason why Shengong Zhiqin once admired his father so much.

He determined that his father had some mysterious abilities.

But he had searched through his father's belongings for many years and had never found anything related to mysticism.

Looking at her "grandson" who was burdened with heavy burdens and could only smile bitterly, Grandma Jingu seemed even more annoyed.

She was in a bad mood and pointed at the nose of the palace official and cursed at him.

"You weak and incompetent thing! Do you really want to join forces with those politicians? Do you know... cough cough cough cough...!!!"

"Grandma!? What's wrong with you, Grandma!?"

Seeing that Grandma Jingong was shaking with anger and even started coughing violently, Jingong Zhiqin felt a tightness in his heart and hurriedly showed concern and greetings.

I saw a pool of blood on the dry hand covering his mouth, which was so shocking.

Shengong Zhiqin was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"Grandma, I'm going to call the emergency number right now, you..."

"no need!"

Grandma Jingu looked at the bloodstains, was stunned for a moment, remained silent for a long time, and sighed softly, which made Jingu Zhiqin very uneasy. Then she waved her hand expressionlessly.

"It's all old trouble..."

As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and glanced sideways at Suzuki Mitsuki, who had been standing aside from the beginning, not daring to speak and could only lower his head and pretend to be dead.

"Come on, keep up. It's time to give you some things..."

With that vigorous step, Jingong Zhiqin couldn't see that Jingong Granny was about to die from a violent cough, so he could only put aside his worries.

He knew the temper of Grandma Jingu and he couldn't persuade her.

but……

Something? Is it time to give it to me?

Shengong Zhiqin was a little confused.

But Suzuki Mitsuki, who was standing next to Jingu Zhiqin, suddenly blushed.

"Father, father!"

The deafening voice woke up the confused Shen Gong Zhiqin. Looking at his daughter's face which was faintly excited, Shen Gong Zhiqin's heart beat wildly.

A certain kind of speculation that made me feel a little dry in the mouth seemed to slowly gather together the only remaining sense of anticipation of these years.

Is it...

After all, he had been sitting in the position of palace chief for such a long time. Shengong Zhiqin calmed his mind and signaled his daughter to stay here and be ready to report any news at any time.

You know, for him, the Palace Si Ji, the senior officials such as Quan Gongsi, Ni Yi, Quan Ni Yi, etc., are not very convinced...

Afterwards, suppressing a certain expectation, I hurriedly followed.

Maybe what the old man wants to say is not what he thinks at all?

Shengong Zhiqin didn't want to be too disappointed at that time.

Following behind, passing through the courtyard, under the clear sky, the breeze blew on the face, and occasionally a cherry blossom petal fell, and the fluttering cherry blossoms danced with laughter that made the priestesses annoyed and complain.

Ms. Ayase and Ms. Kanna couldn't stop murmuring.

Is the status of the elderly so high?

Even the chief priest has to lag behind?

Passing through the worship hall in front of the courtyard, you will arrive at the main hall at the deepest part of the shrine.

This place is generally not open to the public. Unless there is something important, even clergymen are not allowed to enter.

Moreover, this is also the place where Jingu Zhiqin was crowned and became a palace priest.

The old man walked very fast with his hunched body, almost as fast as flying. Even the God of the Palace seemed unable to catch up with him.

My heart couldn't stop beating as I watched this situation unfold, and suddenly I heard the old man's earnest words.

"Zhiqin, think carefully. Many times, the only way forward is to move forward. There is no turning back and no room for regret.

If you don't want to, I won't blame you. Living an honest life might be a good thing..."

After hearing those words full of profound meaning, Shen Gong Zhiqin couldn't help but clench his hands tightly behind his back. In a moment, cold sweat broke out on his palms.

He didn't know why he was so nervous and anxious.

But in this atmosphere, the fantastic idea that should have been abandoned long ago was now surging wildly in my heart.

He exhaled deeply.

Shen Gong Zhiqin knew that if he didn't find out the truth, he would never be at peace in his life.

"Grandma, is it true, as people say, that our shrine still has some secret inheritance?"

Deliberately testing with a light-hearted and joking tone, the sound of Shen Gong Zhiqin's heartbeat echoed embarrassingly in this quiet place.

"Ah……"

The old man smiled noncommittally, pushed the door open and walked in, taking the lead and sitting on the main seat of this hall.

In a blink of an eye, the old man's face became extremely serious. After signaling the shrine to close the main hall door, he shouted loudly in the somewhat dim main hall.

"Zhiqin! Kneel down!"

Before Jingu Zhiqin could react, Jingu Granny's loud shout seemed to echo and shake the whole hall.

In a trance, there seemed to be some hazy white mist in front of Shengong Zhiqin's eyes.

Behind the grandma sitting high up in the shrine, there was a huge pure white figure crawling faintly.

The holy and vast meaning turned into the most profound shock and impact in the heart.

The dim main hall was instantly filled with endless soft light.

The Inari-no-Omikami in the center of the main hall became noticeably more solemn and majestic.

At this moment, Shengong Zhiqin's head was buzzing.

He instinctively knelt down in front of the shrine's mother-in-law, his hands trembling. He wanted to prostrate himself three times, but found that he couldn't even do the gesture of worship properly.

His lips were trembling and his heart was pounding as he greedily memorized the scene before him.

He has waited too long...

He has waited too long!!

It turns out to be true.

It turns out that everything is true!!!

Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes involuntarily, and Shen Gong Zhiqin kowtowed several times with trembling hands.

"I, your humble disciple—the chief priest of Inari Omikami—I bow before the shrine with all my respects!!!"

That heart that was shocked, yearning, and excited reached its peak at this moment and was promoted to a higher peak.

At this moment, he vented out without reservation the grievances he had suffered over the years, the doubts of others, and his own doubts about himself.

He was embarrassed by his "ignorance and stupidity".

It is lamentable that people in this world are so ignorant and fearless.

He looked at Grandma Jingu with great excitement, unable to remain calm or control himself.

For the first time, he felt genuinely proud of his position as a palace chief...

Chapter 194: The Divine Palace's Supreme Emperor Wants to Show Off

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Shengong Zhiqin seemed worried and kept stroking the ornament inside his chest.

A piece of white fox divine jade.

Beside her, Suzuki Mitsuki's expression of unable to contain her frustration was clearly visible, and from time to time she would look at her father who was obviously touching something.

He scratched his head and ears, very curious and excited.

Several times I wanted to ask something but was stopped by my father's stern look.

"But father, Yasaka Taisha obviously has bad intentions. If we just go there..."

To be honest, Suzuki Mitsuki couldn't quite understand what her father was thinking.

Since you have obtained something good, the best thing to do is to hide it secretly and study it carefully.

Why are you rushing up to humiliate others?

That's right, humiliation.

Yasaka Taisha, an ancient shrine also located in Kyoto Prefecture, has been coveting the status of Inari Taisha for a long time.

After so much of open and covert fighting, this time they specially "invited" the palace priest Zhiqin of the Jingong Palace to participate in the exchange meeting. They definitely have no good intentions.

It is said that a grand ceremony of some size is specially held there for this purpose. By then, I am afraid that many people will see the meeting between the two major communities.

If you make a fool of yourself accidentally, it will lower the reputation of the company!

This is too much for Inari Taisha, which was already in decline.

In particular, there are many people below who are eyeing their father's position as palace chief.

Thinking of the old appearance of her grandmother in the shrine, Miss Miyue was very worried.

Noticing the worry on his daughter's face, Jingong Zhiqin chuckled.

Feeling the "spiritual energy" constantly coming from the divine jade, and feeling his body becoming light and relaxed from the fatigue caused by many minor ailments, Shengong Zhiqin grinned happily.

This time he went there not to be humiliated, but to be humiliated.

Only when he had sufficient confidence would he accept the exchange invitation from Yasaka Taisha Shrine as Grandma Jingu said.

Yes, it is indeed time to tell others that the orthodox chief priest of Inari Omikami is back...

No wonder, no wonder my father didn’t have to rely on dignitaries or ask the media to make up stories, but he could sit firmly on the Yutai and manage the community prosperously.

Looking at the blue sky outside the car window, I felt refreshed for a moment, and it felt like the burden on my shoulders was a lot lighter.

"Just be at ease. As the future palace chief, you still have a lot to learn..."

On the other side, Kyoto Yasaka Taisha Shrine.

A middle-aged couple with good temperament led their daughter and walked leisurely on the approach road.

On both sides of the long approach to the shrine are lush groves.

From time to time, the sound of birds singing could be heard from the forest stream.
