[Comprehensive Comic] Shenzi Tomie is not doing his job properly

Even though it was already curfew time, Tomie returned to Matsuo Shrine and woke up the great priest Ando regardless of the time.

Priest Ando is an honest man. Although it was painful to be woken up from his sleep, he still gathered his mood to face Tomie.

Tomie didn't want to be verbose, so he told him Fujiwara Tadahei's proposal tonight in detail, and then left the great priest Ando with trembling pupils to go back to his room to sleep.

Xuemei has been cleaning his room, so it can be used directly whenever he comes back.

Tomie went to sleep comfortably. The great priest Ando who was woken up by him couldn't sleep. After a while of mental construction, it was completely useless. He got up directly and ordered other people at the shrine to set off separately to collect the Kyoto two. The high priests of the other ten shrines in the Twelve Shrines structure were invited to come over. They were worried that spreading the news in advance might have a bad impact on the Son of God, so they did not say it clearly. They just requested to be informed that important matters about the Son of God needed to be discussed with them. discuss.

When these priests received the news, they thought something had happened to the Son of God. They rushed over anxiously, but were stunned by the good news. They discussed it with great interest for most of the night. They wanted to know more details, but were informed that the Son of God had already gone to sleep. , his shikigami guarding the door.

No matter how excited I am, I can only wait patiently for the Son of God to wake up.

Because he was returning to the shrine, Tomie restrained himself a little. When the miko came to call him, he yawned, washed himself up with a sluggish look, and sat down in front of the eleven high priests who were still excited.

"Why are you so lax!" High Priest Hasegawa frowned subconsciously when he saw his appearance, and the words of reprimand came out of his mouth.

A habit he had brought with him when he was young, Fujiang immediately sat up straighter when he heard his voice.

"Hey, the Son of God was summoned to the palace immediately after returning from training. He stayed on duty for two days in a row. It was inevitable that he would be exhausted." The gentle-tempered Priest Murakami immediately excused Tomie.

Tomie was still sitting there with the same demeanor as a noble prince of the royal family. If he slacked off in following the protection of the high priest Murakami at this time, the high priest Hasegawa would definitely be angry.

"That's right. After all, the Son of God is weak and not as good as the Wu family." Other great priests also spoke up to excuse him.

The Great Priest Hasegawa glanced at the now serious Son of God and stopped lecturing him too much. He asked about the business: "I heard that Lord Fujiwara wants you to serve as the second-in-command of the Son of God?"

"I mentioned it in front of Emperor Suzaku last night," Tomie nodded, and said directly before they were happy: "But I would like to ask all the teachers to refuse."

The eleven priests suddenly became noisy, as if they couldn't understand why the Son of God refused such a good opportunity.

It was the high priest Hasegawa who stopped the other high priests with his momentum and asked him: "Why?"

"The Minister of Taizheng will not recommend me to become a priest without any reason. Even without his recommendation, I will be a priest in the future. The joint recommendation of all the teachers can also allow me to start from that position. Sooner or later, I will also take the positions of the teachers. It will be achieved. In that case, why should we leave hidden dangers for him to contain?" Fu Jiang analyzed them in a calm voice.

Each shrine has its own areas of specialization. Letting Kamiko slowly switch to shrines to practice is one aspect of growth. However, it would be a pity if Kamiko's best learning time is wasted because of this. So in fact, there are other shrines every year. The priest took some time to teach at the shrine where Shenzi is currently located, all in order to enable Shenzi to fully develop in magical arts. All shrines in Kyoto have long been inseparable from Shenzi.

So based on this relationship alone, all the shrines in Kyoto would only think of him well and devote all their resources to cultivating him.

Among the eleven great priests, there were those who were persuaded by him, and there were also those who held objections.

"But if you are recommended by him, if we refuse you and arouse his dissatisfaction, it will be very difficult for you to move forward in the future with his overwhelming position. Besides, our joint recommendation for you can make you more successful after you have obtained the official position. Take it to the next level.”

The one who spoke was Grand Priest Hasegawa. Kamobetsu Raijin Shrine is a royal shrine where Saio serves as a shrine maiden. Grand Priest Hasegabe is also the highest-ranking among the eleven priests and relatively knows the situation between the DPRK and China the best.

Tomie waved his hand and the room was enveloped by a barrier, eliminating the possibility of being eavesdropped. He slowly looked at all the priests and said slowly: "All the teachers here are priests, and they always know how to read faces. Minister of Taizheng His fortune has been declining, and I don’t expect it to last more than two years.”

Fu Jiang's words are very straightforward. That old pervert is going to be useless, so you don't need to take him too seriously.

"But even if the Taizheng Minister is not here...the Fujiwara family cannot be underestimated."

Hasegawa's brows never relaxed. He did not have such simple thoughts as Tomie.

In the current situation, even the Genji clan, a branch of the royal family, must please the Fujiwara clan in order to survive better, let alone others.

"Destiny dictates that the imperial power will rise."

Fu Jiang's tone remained calm.

When the imperial power rose, how could the Fujiwara family, which originally tried to control the imperial power, be easily forgiven.

All the great priests have calmed down. Although they are not very involved in power struggles, they can understand some things.

"Do you mean we should stay loyal to the emperor?"

Tomi Jiang shook his head, "The divine power should be transcendent. We should not participate in the changes in power. Our duty is to convey the voice of the gods and ensure that the world continues in accordance with the order it should have."

Currently, none of the onmyojis and priests can hold official positions above the fifth rank. It can also be seen that those in power themselves are also on guard against these people with extraordinary abilities.

Then don't get involved and be used as a weapon by others. Stand on the sidelines and act as a neutral person that no one dares to touch. Isn't it a good source of pressure to be careful about trying to please?

The people present looked at the Son of God, and some understood his hidden meaning, while others simply thought that the Son of God was emphasizing his responsibilities as a priest.

"It seems that the Son of God's experience in going out is very useful, and he has indeed grown a lot." Hasegawa nodded, with a rare look of relief on his face.

He was the one who understood the hints of the Son of God.

"Well, Shenzi has always been excellent." Priest Ando, ​​who facilitated Shenzi's experience, was full of pride.

He was the one who didn't understand.

"However, even if the fortune of the Taizheng Minister is already declining, and we are offended now, can we survive until his momentum completely declines?" The Second Palace Priest of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, who is almost worshiped as the God of Wealth, also belongs to the powerful People who have more contact and have a certain understanding.

"The will of the gods cannot be violated, right?" Fu Jiang smiled.

This era is superstitious, not to mention that gods and monsters do not exist only in imagination. Even if they are usually arrogant, not many people dare to be arrogant and direct when miracles appear. Anti-gods, of course, except for those who are a higher level of madness like curses.

Because Tomie's remarks were very close to using the gods to falsely convey oracles, he added before the great priests could react: "It is true that neutrality has a high possibility of being flattered, but there is also the risk of being targeted at the same time. ?"

The great priests who had some foresight began to think.

The high priests who couldn't quite understand the meeting were also very quiet, so it didn't matter that they just followed the main force.

When several priests were about to raise their heads and continue to say something, Tomie immediately added: "I'm still young. I can't actually come up with a plan on what to do. I may need a few teachers to worry about it. No matter what you choose, I will listen to you." Teacher’s.”

The great priests choked at these words.

Tomie bowed to them again, "The matter with Tadami-sama in the palace has not been resolved yet. I have to go to the palace today. Teachers can discuss it first. I will go to Beijing first. Because I have to travel to and from the palace frequently, I will temporarily live in Boya-sama." At home, if you come to a conclusion, you can ask Mr. Ando to come to me, and we can go to the palace to reply together."

After saying that, he was not going to let them continue to pester him, so he stood up and left the room in a seemingly polite manner.

The remaining eleven priests looked at each other in confusion and hesitated for a while before focusing on the two high priests who had the most dealings with power.

The meaning revealed in the eyes is: We didn’t understand. Can you analyze what the Son of God just meant, and then we can discuss it together?

Fu Jiang, who dropped the depth charge, kindly returned to the room and asked Xuemei to help him prepare his car.

When we were at Seimei's house the day before yesterday, Kamo Garu said that he hadn't been back for a long time and that he had to clean up his house, otherwise he was afraid that in that environment, something else might have already moved into his house. I won’t take him with me since I’m not at the shrine now.

Qingming is probably still eating and drinking at Yuan Boya's house, and he wants to go too!

Late at night last night, when he returned to the shrine from Shangjing, he gave out his spiritual power predictions all the way. Monsters, ghosts, etc. who were not as powerful as him naturally did not dare to come out to block the car.

But Tomie restrained his aura very well during the day, so he saw very obvious traces of resentment when he passed by Rashomon. Rashomon is a very strange location, half of it is outside the Kyoto barrier, if there is something hidden there It's a good choice.

Tomi Jiang lifted the curtains of the car and took a few more glances, mentally deciding what range it should fall into.

The ox cart has arrived in front of Yuan Boya's house.

The children in his mansion have been waiting here to help him carry away the daily necessities and clothes he packed back from the shrine.

"You are really planning to stay here for a long time in Boya." Qingming, who came to watch the fun, teased from the side.

"I don't think what you said is very convincing." Fu Jiang retorted.

He has been living in the shrine since he traveled to the Heian era. No one has thought about buying a house for him yet, and he doesn't want to go from the shrine to the palace every day. The amount of work is so big that he might lose weight to the cows. circle, so it was agreed at that time that he would stay at Yuan Boya's house until Lord Tadami was dealt with.

Besides, Qingming, who has a family, didn't live in Yuan Boya's house just for fun.

Fu Jiang secretly scolded the little fox brother and immediately went to him and opened the box he was holding. He opened it and showed it to him, "I'll let you pick the specialties I brought you first."

Inside the box were more than a dozen fist-sized wooden carvings of civet cats. They were cute and naive. Tomi Jiang bought them from a civet cat stall.

"This must be a wooden sculpture of a monster." Qingming grabbed a statue of a tanuki that looked like it had been punched by someone, with black eyes and its head holding its head and crying, and he could tell the origin at a glance.

Fu Jiang nodded, "As expected of you, you can tell at a glance."

"Is it okay to give this as a gift?" Qingming reminded him.

The creations of monsters are more likely to be possessed than the creations of humans. There are also many monsters who choose their targets by scattering their creations. Things that are obviously a little bit evil may come back to life at night.

Fu Jiang nodded repeatedly to reassure him. "It's okay, I've tested it. If the environment you are in has enough spiritual energy, at most it will make some movement in the shape of being carved. Like the one on your hand, you are holding your head and crying in aggrieved manner. You may cry in a different position the next day. , which made me think I remembered it wrong."

"It turns out it's come back to life." Qingming looked at the wooden sculpture in his hand amusedly. It looked pitiful indeed.

"A capable person like you will definitely not care, so it's fun to give you a picture. I will clean it first when others give it to me. If you get tired of looking at it that day, you can clean it yourself."

Seimei is an Onmyoji who can represent this era. Dealing with this kind of thing is just a matter of moving his fingers.

"Thank you." Qingming thanked him. This gift from Tomie suits him very much. It would be pointless to completely remove the evil spirit from it. If it gets really annoying in the future, he will use a barrier to prevent this thing from coming into contact with the spiritual energy.

Fu Jiang handed the box to him again, "Would you like to pick another one? Maybe you can watch them quarrel when the couple goes back."

Qingming was moved by what he said, and began to look carefully again, and finally picked a statue that looked stronger and a bit more fierce than the crying tanuki in his hand. It looked like it could bully the tanuki.

"You just want to see it being bullied and crying." Fu Jiang felt that he had seen through his bad intentions.

"Haha, aren't small animals cute when they fight?" Qingming admitted.

Tomi Jiang smiled and said nothing, yes, you will be happier the next day when you see them losing sawdust and fur all over the ground due to fighting.

"What are you talking about?" Yuan Boya, who was coming back from the next morning, saw the two people communicating not far from the gate and walked over.

Tomie turned his wooden box towards him and showed it to him: "Do you want a statue of a civet cat that comes to life and chirps at night, or a statue of a civet cat that simply doesn't move?"

Yuan Boya:......

He pinched his chin and struggled for a while, feeling that the things Fu Jiang sent would not be in danger of hurting anyone, so he said, "Let's live."

Tomie smiled. He knew that someone who could play with Seimei would be brave, so he began to introduce the characteristics of the civet cat statue to Yuan Boya.

Yuan Boya picked a pair of civet cats huddled in the corner of the box, looking a little depressed.
