High Priest in Japan

On the way, just in case—the ceremony was too long and hungry, Qin Heqing asked Fubu Cheng to buy instant bread for himself as he passed by a convenience supermarket as a last resort.

By the way, where are we going? Qin Heqing, who was eating bread, casually asked Fubube Makoto, who was the driver.

It's to the Dajiu Shrine. According to the rules, the annual ritual festival must be held there, and then it will be the turn of other family shrines of the same family. Makoto Fukube explained.

That's not far away. Qin Heqing said.

Because the Dajiu Shrine is the same as the Mujimazu Amaterasu Yuhun Shrine, both are located in Taiqin District, which is the area where Qin Heqing's hotel is located, so it doesn't take too long to get there.

Just like now, Qin and Qing had just finished eating the bread when the car drove to the vicinity of the Dajiu Shrine. Then he slowly stopped in the surrounding parking spaces, and Makoto Fubube greeted Qin Heqing and walked towards the Dajiu Shrine.

There are so many people. On the way, Qin Heqing said in amazement as he looked around at the various staff who were helping to block the road, organizing people to line up, or busy back and forth on the road.

He thought that Qin Shihuang's ritual festival had little influence—just like the one he held in Xinza City, there were not many outsiders participating except for the support group of his own shrine, but unexpectedly, the scenery on the side of Kyoto was unexpectedly so different.

Could it be that the Taiqin District was the former fiefdom of the Qin clan - the location of the Daqin?

That's not too much. After the festival officially starts, there will be a lot of talents at that time. They are mighty and powerful. Fubu Cheng also didn't know that he had worked under Qin Zongdao for a long time, The staff who are emotional and well-integrated, after hearing Qin Heqing's words, said proudly.

Really? Then you will have to see and see later. Qin Heqing said with a smile.

Then the two didn't say anything else, they went straight through the crowd, entered the Dajiu Shrine with obvious signs of time, and saw the elder of foreign affairs, Qin Zongdao, who was directing the busy staff with a loud voice.

Elder Zongdao. Makoto Fubu also greeted.

It's coming. Qin Zongdao rushed to Fubucheng and nodded, then his eyes fell on Qin Heqing who was beside him, and said in a low voice.

Um.

Stay aside for now, and I'll take you to see the patriarch when I finish handling the matter here. Qin Zongdao didn't hesitate, and explained very simply.

OK.

Then Qin Heqing walked aside and stood there, watching Qin Zongdao direct the staff to do things there.

Until four or five minutes later.

Come on, let me introduce you. This is Mao, your peer in the clan. Based on age, you should call him brother. Qin Zongdao pointed to a young man who just ran over and said.

Mao, this is Heqing, the newly found family member of the family has returned to the clan, you can get closer when you are free in the future.

Hi, I'm Qin Zhenyang, please give me your advice.

Hello, I'm Qin Heqing, and I'm here.

Mao, I'll leave the matter here to you for the time being. I'll take Heqing in to meet the patriarch first, and then I'll come over.

Okay, third uncle.

Then, Qin Zongdao called Shangqin and Qing through the courtyard in front of the shrine, and went to the courtyard behind the Dajiu Shrine.

As one of the earliest Chin clan ancestral temples, although the area of ​​the shrine is not as extensive as that of Matsuo Taisha, which was built later, or Fushimi Inari Taisha, which has been expanding in size in recent years, there are many historical relics inside.

For example, a large stone located in the courtyard behind the shrine is said to have been erected by the earliest members of the Qin clan. There were originally large stone carvings of the descendants of Qin Shihuang written by the then emperor on it to show authenticity!

It's just that it was erased by the emperor's order before and after the Meiji Restoration, in order to let the Qin family forget the past and reintegrate into the society of the island country.

So in the days that followed, in order to persecute the Qin family, in addition to erasing the written evidence on the stone, they also destroyed the clan ancestral hall and family tree that the Qin family had built since entering the island!

It can be said to be completely broken, and it is even more ruthless than when the people of the world crusade against the Qin clan, forcing many members of the Qin clan to change their names and surnames to avoid being hunted down!

After all, the former cut off the cultural heritage and the source of blood, while the latter cut off the physical life, the root of existence, which is completely different.

Of course, these are things of the past now, so apart from the existing older generation, no one still remembers these things, and I don't know whether to say it is luck or misfortune.

It's here. Remember not to talk nonsense later, so as not to leave a bad impression on others. At this time, Qin Zongdao, who brought Qin Heqing to a room, reminded in a low voice.

Um.

Following the two of them into the house, they saw the so-called core class of the Qin family - the patriarch and other figures.

And what Qin and Qing imagined at the beginning was similar, the men in the house were mostly old people, followed by the middle-aged class and some young people, but all of them were very energetic, and with their jet-black hair, they were quite impressive. It is difficult for people to tell their true age.

Patriarch, elders, this is the clansman I mentioned to you before, Qin Heqing. Heqing, come and say hello to everyone. Qin Zongdao first saluted everyone, and then pulled Qin Heqing aside to introduce him.

Hi, elders, I'm Qin Heqing. It's the first time we meet. Please take care of me in the future. Qin Heqing straightened his posture as he said, and greeted him with a salute.

You are Lord Qin Heqing, you are indeed a good-looking talent, young and promising. The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat in the middle of the room praised with admiration.

This is the patriarch. On the side, Qin Zongdao, who knew that Qin Heqing didn't know anyone, reminded him in a timely manner.

Since you're back, you're a family. Don't worry about it in the future. Just tell the family what you need. Whatever the family can do, it will definitely meet your needs.

That's right. Also, do you want to transfer to Kyoto? Although it's not as bustling as Tokyo, it's quiet and harmonious, and it's also close to the family. If anything happens, the family can help. It is also convenient for you to accept the training of the family and learn some secret knowledge passed down from within the family.

Yes, you don't have to worry about the house or anything, the family still has the financial resources.

We can also arrange for some people in the past to help take care of them.

You talked to each other, and the enthusiasm was a little too much. It felt like the court minister suddenly met the wild royal prince when the emperor was old and about to collapse. Qin Heqing felt very uncomfortable with all kinds of courteousness.

Okay, let's see what you all look like, don't scare the children anymore. After a pause, he looked at Qin Heqing and smiled and said, You don't need to pay attention to those, just make decisions according to your own ideas. I will force you to do anything, this is my promise to you.
