Truth is everywhere within range

Tian Cong Yun Sword.

Suzhan Mingzun, also known as Susano'o, made the Yamata-no-Orochi drunk with wine, and after killing it, he took out the tachi from the tail of the snake.

Afterwards, the sword was dedicated to Amaterasu and stayed in Takamagahara for some time.

When he reappeared, it was in the legend of Japanese warrior Jian Ming.

This tragic hero of the Republic of China pacified the Western gods and returned in triumph, only to be expelled again.

During his exile, Wa Jianming passed by Ise Shrine and was given the Tencongyun Sword.

While passing through a grassland, the enemy set a fire in an attempt to surround Japanese Jianming.

In desperation, he pulled out the Tiancong Yun Sword and cut off the surrounding vegetation, thus escaping from the trap.

From then on, the Amancongyun Sword had another name: Kusanagi Sword.

In the end, Wo Jian ordered the Tiancongyun Sword to be returned, but he died of illness soon after, and the legend about the Tiancongyun Sword came to an end.

After Wa Jianming's death, his wife gathered the clan members and built a shrine in Atsuta, where she kept the Tencongyun Sword.

This is Atsuta Shrine.

The main god enshrined in Atsuta Shrine, Atsuta God, is essentially the Amancongyun Sword.

Therefore, the Amatosun Sword of Atsuta Shrine was lost.

It's like their god is gone.

This is a big deal.

After hearing Masato Kotokui's words, Qiao Qiao first raised a question.

Please wait a moment, friend.

Not to mention that the Tian Cong Yun Sword is one of the three great artifacts of Japan and a symbol of the Emperor.

The Amancongyun Sword enshrined in Atsuta Shrine is a very powerful tool for exorcising spirits.

Why is this missing?

"If you ask me, I don't know either."

Kotokui Masato saw Qiao Qiao's doubts.

"Even if you ask that guy, I'm afraid he won't be able to divination due to the interference of the artifact. No, I guess he has already done divination."

He said words that Qiao Qiao couldn't understand.

However, based on the information provided by Masato Kotokui, Qiao Qiao could understand why he said he got a bargain.

The Tiancong Yun Sword is lost, and the next step must be to find it.

If it can be found, not to mention the gratitude and favor of Atsuta Shrine, just being able to come into contact with the artifact will be lucky enough.

Even if it's just a bit of soy sauce in the past.

It can be regarded as a connection with Atsuta Shrine, and it will be easier to talk to him in the future.

Make sure you make money without losing money.

"Thank you Kotokui-san, I understand."

Qiao Qiao suddenly understood many things.

For example, Miko Asano took leave a week ago to go to the headquarters in Nagoya. It must have been that the Amansugaun Sword was lost at that time.

It is estimated that Atsuta Shrine did not want to make it public at first. After all, losing the artifact was a major mistake.

That's why he summoned the branch's manpower and searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the artifact.

After searching for a week, there was really nothing we could do, so we asked for help from the outside world.

Another example is why when there was a problem at Atsuta Shrine, instead of calling on all spirit exterminators to come together, they only selected a few.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of face.

If everyone knew that the Atsuta Shrine, which had guarded the Amancongyun Sword for thousands of years, had lost the artifact, it would probably be a joke for many lifetimes.

In particular, when Qiao Qiao first met Asano Ariko, he used his mobile phone to check things about the Amancong Cloud Sword.

Historically, the Tiancongyun Sword was not foolproof, and had been stolen.

But in the end, the divine sword seemed to have a will of its own and flew back again.

And this time it was lost.

It seems that the will of Excalibur has not yet awakened?

In short, losing an artifact is undoubtedly a major blow to faith.

besides.

Qiao Qiao took a look inside the carriage. There were Yin and Yang dormitories, temples, and shrines. There were various forces, and the number of people was about the same.

Probably some kind of check and balance relationship.

Neither party wanted the other party to solve the problem on its own, and the dispute ended up being wrangling for a long time.

And he was not selected at first, but later he was selected because of his boss.

Maybe it’s because the boss has a strong background.

"What do you unserstand?"

Masato Kotokui had a look of realization on his face when he saw Qiao Qiao being confused, but he himself was confused.

"However, I didn't expect Ariko-chan to contact you."

A soft female voice came from behind Qiao Qiao. When he turned around, it turned out to be Ayano Fujiwara, the shrine maiden of Tenman Palace.

"Fujiwara Miko, you are here too."

Qiao Qiao said hello politely.

"Explain it beforehand."

Fujiwara Ayano adjusted her glasses. She still wore braids and looked like Yamato Nadeshiko.

She said calmly after sitting in the next seat.

"Temmangu is only helping out of friendship between the shrines, which is different from some guys who are obviously here for profit."

"Who are you talking about?"

Kotokui Masato retorted.

The two of us spoke to each other, facing each other without giving in.

"You two seem to have a good relationship."

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but sigh.

"Who has a good relationship with him?" "Are you blind?"

The two denied it in unison.

Look at each other.

Then there was no sound again.

Qiao Qiao didn't understand people's hearts and could only look out the window.

He has never taken the Shinkansen in Japan. Compared with airplanes and ordinary JR, the Shinkansen is obviously much more expensive.

The journey from Tokyo to Nagoya takes more than an hour and costs more than 10,000 yen.

I don’t know how expensive it is compared to China.

Qiao Qiao closed his eyes and rested for a while.

When we arrived at the station, it was already dark.

Without giving Qiao Qiao much time to feel the air of Nagoya, the spiritual exterminators immediately came to Atsuta Shrine in Atsuta District after leaving the station.

In the morning light, the buildings of Atsuta Shrine shine brightly.

It is said that the roof ridge of the main hall of the shrine was covered with copper plates. At this moment, the dark roof shines brightly in the morning sun, pure and flawless.

Qiao Qiao followed the team and walked very fast. He didn't have time to observe the scenery in the shrine.

A team of more than thirty spiritual masters entered the side hall after saluting.

Some people have gathered here.

Qiao Qiao noticed that there were many people who were obviously not clergy sitting in the corner.

"This is the helper sent from Kyoto."

Masato Kotokui introduced casually.

"Guys in Kyoto don't always look down on us in Tokyo, but it is true that when it comes to Shinto, Kansai is the real center of Shinto."

"Be careful what you say and do in front of the gods."

Fujiwara Miko still respected the shrine and reminded her in a low voice.

"If the gods were still here, there would be no need to trouble us."

Kotokui Masato murmured quietly and then sat down.

Qiao Qiao sat next to him.

Among the spiritual exterminators sent by Tokyo, Qiao Qiao, Masato Kotokui, and Ayano Fujiwara are all close in age.

Most of the remaining ones are exorcists in their thirties and forties.

Sensoji Temple even sent a monk with a gray beard.

As for Qiao Qiao, he didn't know him at all in Kyoto.

He turned his attention to the group of people in the center of the hall.

The priests in pure robes and black hats, and the witches in white robes, undershirts, and scarlet hakama.

"Asagami Rensaburo, the current palace secretary of Atsuta Shrine, and the head of the Asagami family."

Seeing that Qiao Qiao was not familiar with these, Kotokui Masato introduced them.

Probably this kind of explanation can give him a sense of superiority.

"The Asagami family has been the priest of Atsuta Shrine for generations, and the Asano family in Tokyo's branch is one of the branches of the Asagami family."

Hearing Masato Kotokui's words, Qiao Qiao was filled with emotion.

This kind of family with a long history must have a rich heritage. No wonder Asano Miko can easily come up with such a powerful spirit-killing tool.

He thought of the sword bell he saw at Xingfu Bakery.

While thinking, Qiao Qiao quickly saw an acquaintance among the group of witches and priests.

Shoji Asano, and Ariko Asano sitting next to him with her eyes closed.
