Who stipulated that hot weapons are not allowed to kill spirits?

"You two girls are so juicy, those man-eating monsters like it!"

"Is it a monster? How did I hear it's a ghost that absorbs human energy?"

"Whether it's a monster or a ghost, it's not a good thing!"

The aunts suddenly started talking one after another, and Wei Xuxu and Leina, who had been ignored for a while, looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

In Kyoto, a large-scale supernatural event has occurred?

Kyoto is the only place in the entire Japanese Special Affairs Department that does not have a branch. The other is Shimane Prefecture where Izumo Taisha is located.

It goes without saying how powerful the Izumo Taisha is. Shimane Prefecture, where Izumo Taisha is located, has the lowest rate of supernatural events in Japan.

Not only that, but the Izumo Taisha even has enough power to send shrine maidens and priests to other regions to deal with supernatural events, such as the first meeting between Wei Xuxu and Chihiro Makoto, Chihiro Makoto received the dispatch mission at that time.

Apart from Shimane Prefecture, Kyoto is the second place where the Special Affairs Department does not have a branch.

And even the two large cities below Kyoto, Daban and Nara, as well as the surrounding small cities, also do not have a branch of the Special Affairs Department.

The reason for not setting up a branch is also very simple.

——There are too many sectarian forces in Kyoto!

In Kyoto alone, there are Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kinkakuji Temple, Ginkakuji Temple, Kenninji Temple, Daihonzan Honnoji Temple, Ginkakuji Temple, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Seimei Shrine, Yasaka Shrine, Guishen Shrine, etc. Famous shrines and temples!

There are too many shrines and temples in Kyoto. More importantly, these are medium and large shrines that have been passed down for hundreds of years or thousands of years. Their heritage and strength are simply not comparable to those of small shrines in Tokyo. !

As for why there are so many shrines and temples in Kyoto, it has something to do with the history of Japan.

At that time, Japan's suzerain country was the Tang Dynasty, which was extremely prosperous in the world. At that time, the mainstream belief in the Tang Dynasty was Buddhism. Therefore, Japan followed the example of the Tang Dynasty to believe in Buddhism and built a large number of temples.

In addition to Buddhism, as the "capital" of Kyoto, Shintoism, a native Japanese religion, is naturally indispensable, so there are also a large number of shrines in Kyoto.

Not only that, in addition to shrines and temples, the Onmyouliao, ruled by the legendary Onmyoji, Abe Seimei, is also located in Kyoto!

Just like this situation, not to mention the monsters and goblins, even Wei Xuxu felt scared when he saw it.

The Special Affairs Department is now a thorn in the eyes of the sectarian forces, and as a symbol of the Special Affairs Department, she went to Kyoto alone... It is conceivable that the trip will not be too smooth.

The number of A-level psychics in Japan is around 40, and at least half of them are located in Kyoto!

This is the "gold content" of Kyoto. It is impossible for ordinary monsters to have the guts to act wildly in Kyoto!

Not to mention Kyoto, even the two large cities below Kyoto, Daban and Nara, including the surrounding small cities, no monsters dare to make trouble!

The reason why Shimane Prefecture is the county with the lowest incidence of psychic incidents in Japan is not only because of the strength of Izumo Taisha, but also because of the small population of Shimane Prefecture.

But the Kyoto metropolitan area is different. The number of residents living in the Kyoto metropolitan area is second only to Tokyo!

In a place with a large population, the incidence of supernatural events is very high, but in fact, the number of supernatural victims in Kyoto is ridiculously low!

Why was Kyoto once called 'Heian-kyo'?

It is precisely because hundreds of years ago, in that terrifying era when demons and ghosts were extremely rampant and S-level ghosts emerged endlessly, Kyoto was still able to take it indifferently and stand still!

That is to say, in the period of Meiji locust, the rules of this world became more and more obvious, and the demons and ghosts were no longer as rampant as before. Only then did Meiji locust have the courage to leave Kyoto, which was protected by many sectarian forces, and move the capital to Tokyo.

Otherwise, as soon as he left the capital, he would have to be eaten by monsters and there would be no bones left!

So now, when the aunts are talking about the recent supernatural events in Kyoto, Wei Xuxu's first thought is that it is absolutely impossible.

In such a place where there are various powerful sects, and even the Special Affairs Department is too lazy to set up a branch, how can there be a large-scale supernatural event that even ordinary people are aware of?

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

How big is Kyoto?

The total area is 827 square kilometers.

How big is Tokyo?

2188 square

km!

Tokyo is 2.6 times larger than Kyoto, but the number of powerful shrines and temples in Tokyo is less than a quarter of Kyoto! !

In such a city crowded with countless powerful shrines and temples, where you can usually see witches and monks wandering the streets when you go out to buy groceries, you tell me that there are supernatural events?

What a joke!

There are supernatural events, most of them are just rumors spread by ordinary citizens, and there is a high probability that they are not true.

If this is true.

Me, Wei Xuxu, when!field!

Eat Reina's mouth!

——meaning to listen to Reina’s ramblings honestly in the future.

In any case, Wei Xuxu really doesn't think the supernatural events mentioned by the aunts exist.

Kyoto is such a place where I am a little nervous even if I go there, I really can't think of what kind of monsters are weird and have the ability to run wild.

Chapter 460 Who Moved the Power of Faith?

With inexplicable doubts in their hearts, Wei Xuxu and Leina's answers to the enthusiastic aunts became inconsistent.

The aunts just thought that the two little girls were tired and didn't take it seriously, so they left cheerfully.

After this little episode, nothing else happened in the following time, the plane landed safely, and the two successfully arrived in Osaka.

The reason why I didn't fly directly from Izumo Airport to Kyoto Airport, but to come to Osaka Airport first is that there is no airport in Kyoto.

If you want to go to Kyoto, you must first go to Osaka Airport or Kansai Airport, and then use other means of transportation to go to Kyoto.

As a core city connected to Kyoto, Osaka's culture has a deep sense of connection with Kyoto.

As soon as she got out of the airport, Wei Xuxu felt the charm and unique style of this ancient city.

It was after ten o'clock in the evening when the two arrived at Daban, but as a city that is only slightly less prosperous than Tokyo, Osaka's nightlife is also rich and colorful. The area around the airport is still full of lights and traffic. The flow never stops.

In great contrast to the bustling night scene, the streets of Osaka are decorated with various ornaments and decorations with Japanese ancient style, and the shape of the houses also refers to the ancient Japanese architecture, which looks quite charming.

how to say.

If she throws the reeds into Curry Country, or Europe, and makes her feel the ancient charm, she really can't feel it.

But Japan is different.

As the former suzerain country of Japan, Huaguo has a profound influence on Japanese culture, and it can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Especially the city of Kyoto, it can be said that it is completely infiltrated by the culture of Huaguo. Whether it is a house or an ornament, it can be seen that it has a strong shadow of Huaguo.

The former Kyoto even had the nickname 'Luoyang'.

The origin of this nickname is that more than [-]% of the construction layout and house style in Kyoto at that time imitated Luoyang, the country of China. Therefore, in addition to being called "Pingan Jing", Kyoto also had another name of "Luoyang" at that time.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that Wei Xuxu still feels quite comfortable with the atmosphere and culture of the city of Kyoto.

Lena didn't think so much, after all, she was in a foreign country, no matter what she saw, it was a brand new experience for her.

After leaving the airport, after walking a few steps, Reina saw a small shrine at the end of the street.

"Miss Wei, look over there." Reina pointed to a small alley: "There seems to be a small shrine there."

Wei Xuxu looked in the direction Leina pointed, a little surprised: "There really is a shrine, let's go and have a look."

The shrine is hidden in an alley, if it weren't for Reina's sharp eyes, I really couldn't see it.

Out of curiosity, the two approached the shrine and looked at it carefully.

The total area of ​​this shrine is less than two square meters. It seems to be embedded in the wall of the alley. There are some fresh fruit snacks on the altar.

However, it is not so much a shrine as it is a well-made altar for pilgrims to make simple offerings and visits, which is quite special.

Reina thought for a while, took out her wallet from her pocket, took out a 5 yen coin, put it into the small cash box, clapped her hands in a decent manner, closed her eyes, and made a promise. willing.

After Leina finished, Wei Xuxu said with a smile: "You still know how to do this, you can't tell."

"Miss Wei, do you think I am a person of the same level as you?" Leina rolled her eyes at Wei Xuxu.

"Ah, here." Wei Xuxu was embarrassed.

Reina snorted softly: "Before I go to a country I have never visited before, I will learn relevant culture and common sense so that I can have more effective and friendly communication with the local residents. This is essential. I think you should be like me, Ms. Wei, otherwise, if you travel far in the future, you may touch the taboos of the local residents, which will lead to inappropriate consequences, and then—”

"I got it, I got it, stop it." Wei Xuxu quickly interrupted Lena's words.

If you don't interrupt, the noble lady will have to make up a long lecture to herself again.

In order to divert Reina's attention, Wei Xuxu also walked to the shrine, took out a 5 yen coin and put it into the cash box, and clapped her hands casually.

It is impossible to make a wish.

After knowing the origin of the power of faith and the fact that the so-called gods are just more powerful creatures, Wei Xuxu lost her so-called faith.

Although she was originally a staunch materialist, after a series of explanations and explanations before the system, Wei Xuxu had already thrown away the awe of the gods.

It doesn't sound good.

Even if she really wanted to believe in God, she wouldn't believe in these Japanese gods.

Japan's land is small, and its population is even smaller, but the number of gods is comparable to the country of curry. There are so many wild gods and mountain spirits in a mess, so the gods that the people believe in are also very different.

Two villages next to each other, less than five kilometers apart, believe in two completely different gods. This kind of thing can be said to abound in Japan.

The power of the gods comes from the amount of the power of faith, the more the power of faith, the stronger the gods, and the less the power of faith, then it is an ordinary mountain spirit and wild monster.

The source of the power of faith is undoubtedly the pious faith of the people. To put it simply, the more people believe in and worship the gods, the stronger their power will be, and vice versa.

Then the problem is coming.

As a total population of just over 1 million, there are absurdly many religious sects in the country. In Shintoism alone, there are twenty or thirty Japanese gods who can be counted by name. The power of faith that each god can 'share' , and how much?

Not to mention that the young people of the new generation have generally lost the so-called heart of faith. In the eyes of young people, this is the ignorance and feudal superstition. Believers, except for the clergy, are only those middle-aged and elderly people.

Looking at the current situation in Japan's society, one can imagine how pitiful the amount of power of faith the Japanese gods will have.

Wei Xuxu is really not interested in 'believing' this kind of weak chicken god.

Of course, no matter how weak the god is, it's not that he can break his wrists now, it's just a rant in his heart.

If there is really a god descending in front of him, he should be counseled.

It's just that now, Wei Xuxu's attitude towards visiting the shrine is only to join in the fun, and it's like going to the countryside to do as the Romans do.

I really want her to give birth to some kind of faith, let alone doors, there are no windows!

After a simple goodbye, he made a random wish that he would not be nagged by Reina again today. Wei Xuxu opened his eyes and planned to call Reina to leave.

It's getting late, the two of them haven't eaten yet, now they have to find a restaurant to deal with their stomachs, and then find a hotel to stay in, have a good night's rest, and visit Fushimi Inari Shrine tomorrow.

However, just when Wei Xuxu was about to greet Leina to leave, she suddenly found something subtle.

In this shrine...

Why does it seem that there is no power of faith?

After this thought came to her mind, Wei Xuxu couldn't stand anymore.

A shrine can have nothing, but it cannot live without the power of faith.

If there is no power of faith, then the shrine is just an empty shell with the architectural style of a 'shrine', not a real 'shrine'.

The source of the power of faith is very simple. As long as a person has faith in something, the power of faith will be generated and gathered in it.

Therefore, even if you are not in a shrine or temple, you can sometimes find the existence of the power of faith. For example, some small Ksitigarbha Buddhas on the street, Wei Xuxu will occasionally feel the existence of a weak power of faith on it.

And this decent small shrine in front of me, although small in scale, is small and exquisite, clean and tidy. It can be seen that people often come to worship. of.

Even the small stone statues on the street occasionally have a weak power of faith. How could such a small shrine that is well maintained and often visited by worshipers have no power of faith?

Wei Xuxu, who is a little unbelieving, perceives it carefully, and finally confirms——

In this small shrine, there is indeed no power of faith!

Nothing, nothing!

It's as clean as a handicraft that just left the factory!
