Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

"This is just bad. Tiannan just bad Zhiwu will introduce it to you. You can look at it and leave your mind blank, right?"

"Lord Tokugawa, it is up to him to evaluate how you act."

Although it was advice, the other party's earnest tone was really endearing. If he could be like this to his subordinates, he would be even more so to his superiors. No wonder you had so few traitors under your command back then.

"As for what we talked about, it was naturally about what the young master Hongfa had said."

Good heavens, does that person have no shame? Your meaning is so obvious, why do you still want to keep pestering me like that?

Despite being clearly pleased with the sight of Mount Koya, Tokusugi Kenshin did not show any anger, and his every move did not resemble that of a Buddha incarnate.

"Tsk..."

"Given the lowly status of the Shrine Maiden, even a casual remark can bring all sorts of troublesome rumors upon me. I hope the Shrine Maiden understands his current position and power."

Unable to escape the clutches of evil, the eloquent Tian could only force a smile.

I don't really care about going to the shrine; I don't think there's anything wrong with that stubborn personality.

Shimokoyasan interrupted Jingu, but his face showed displeasure.

That also eliminated the various speculations people in the previous life had about the grudges and affections between those two sworn enemies, confirming that Koyasan was indeed a man.

Looking at the stubborn Shimokoyasan, Jingu secretly wanted to laugh, but then he thought about it again. Perhaps it was precisely because of that stubbornness that, among the many winners of the Warring States period, you were the only one who lost so badly but was able to become an incarnation of a god or Buddha.

Instead of saying much to her old friend from the same era, De Petrusa's purpose was very clear: she wanted to talk to the shrine about something.

My divine name before my death was Dongzhao Xiaoquanxian, which means that I am the incarnation of Bhaisajyaguru. It is easy to understand that the other party was making a deal with Kukai, or rather, the Tendai sect behind Tenkai, the religious leader who was by my side at the time.

Interrupted, Jingu lost interest in continuing to tease the girl, let go of her hand, and watched as Bensaiten hid far away.

It is known that this is because it is an incarnation of Vaishravana, or because the historical figure Pei Cuisha was not originally male, and the one who appeared to block the shrine was a man full of heroic spirit.

You possess a heroic air. As a guardian deity, your attire is more formal and luxurious than that of the Ugly Empress. Perhaps it's due to the difference in popularity.

"Well... but speaking ill of me is bad behavior, and that is not the way of a monarch."

"Troublesome rumors? Are they all unknown to him? Besides, he's telling you, so how would you know the actual situation? You can only guess?"

“You lowly sir, this behavior is not immoral, please stop.”

Jingu, harboring ill intentions, sized up Mount Koya.

"Perisha? Since he's a man, what about his relationship with Takeda Shingen...?"

I'm shy, my foot! Let go of your hand! Being timid is what I really am.

However, compared to that, the other problem with the shrine is that the vomiting is slow.

The problem was that no one was watching anymore, so he stepped forward to help Biancai Tian out of his predicament.

Biancai Tian was furious but dared not speak out against the rude behavior of the Divine Palace, and the surrounding gods and Buddhas pretended not to see it, with no one willing to come forward to help her out.

Although there's a suspicion that they didn't survive to the end, the winner is the winner, without a doubt.

"I have met the little god of the shrine."

That matter was not to the liking of the Divine Palace, after all, Yingzhou had long since stopped speculating about Pei Cuisha's gender.

"Young man from the Divine Palace, would you be willing to have a few words with this old monk?"

Besides, if we let one Deva escape, wouldn't that be sending another Deva, Vaishravana, to our doorstep?

The visitor bowed slightly towards the shrine, but before he could say anything, he was met with wary stares from the people of Shimokoyasan.

Chapter 194 Choices and Interests

"What exactly did you discuss with Kūkai and Tokugawa?"

After leaving the space of the Dharma assembly, they strolled slowly along the mountain path of Mount Koya. Finally, Momiji and Ushi Gozen couldn't help but ask the shrine about the details of their conversation.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu arrived, he used his telepathic abilities in his conversation with the shrine maiden, maintaining the same air of mystery. After the conversation, he left without further ado.

"It's nothing much, just what you've heard. Kukai promised me the benefits of the union of gods and Buddhas, wanting me to revive the tradition of practicing the union of gods and Buddhas. As for Tokugawa Ieyasu..."

The shrine paused.

"He was a bit strange. I thought he was acting as an intermediary for Kukai, but he didn't try to persuade me to agree or refuse. He just talked to me about his own feelings."

This is indeed a bit strange. Logically speaking, Tokugawa Ieyasu should have firmly stood on the side of Buddhism's interests, since his divine title was Tosho Daigongen. Without the integration of Shinto and Buddhism, he would have lost most of his faith.

However, he did not persuade Jingu to accept it, nor did he discuss the benefits of this matter with Jingu. Perhaps this was a negotiation tactic of feigning indifference.

"So why are you two giving me those looks telling me not to agree? Is there some kind of trap here?"

Momiji and Ushio Gozen exchanged a glance, then shook their heads.

Asking you two is pointless; those two are both so nagging and concerned with such trivial matters. We should go back and ask others what they think.

Once you reach a position like that of a shrine, a single thought or decision can change the circumstances of millions of people. Some gods and Buddhas will care about how tyrannical the shrine is or how it preys on special people.

"Well, I have thought about it. I'll talk about that later."

If it were a bad thing to be in the shrine and not to be such a wise ruler, then I would probably be worried about such a problem. I only care about what approach is more in line with my own or the thoughts of those around me.

Both are Shinto. Minamoto no Yorimitsu has no divine name but is still worshipped. Although he is not very famous, he is ultimately just a demon, a bull-headed monster. However, in Buddhism, he is the incarnation of the Bull-Headed Heavenly King, who has no connection with Shakyamuni.

"If it's really as the rumors say, then we're in trouble."

But before today, news of whether Mei Qiangcheng would restart would spread throughout Yingzhou. At that point, everyone would pay attention to what the shrine would do, and then decide their stance based on whether they would benefit from it.

The world will adjust itself; the shrine will surely be overthrown because it is too tyrannical and violates common sense.

That's not what they mean when you reach a certain low point in life. No matter what you do, no one will approve, and even if you do everything, it will be meaningless.

However, the matter of Kawakita Yasuo directly involves the interests of all the gods and Buddhas. Regardless of whether the shrine does it or not, it is inevitable that one group will become the beneficiaries and another group will become the victims.

"If you want me to hold a grudge, then prepare some rare treasures and send them to me. Although I hold grudges, if we meet again, I might still mind targeting him."

Jingu clapped his hands and turned to look at Kongobuji Temple below the mountain.

From Momiji's words, Jingu understood why Momiji had asked him to agree, but even with that agreement, the reunion was still somewhat successful.

That's a step forward.

"Your words..."

Although he only chatted with the shrine for a few minutes, his sharp judgment was completely wrong.

The Dharma assembly, which was still in retreat, was still taking place in the inner palace.

"The issue of Kawakita Yasuhiro involves the entire Shinto and Buddhist system of Japan, and even the Eight Minor Gods will be affected. There are no people who want Mei Qiangcheng to join forces, and there are no people who want Kawakita Yasuhiro to join forces either. It is a very troublesome matter."

The believer who knew the truth was not very bright, but he was quickly persuaded and calmed down by the other monks.

Whether or not this matter exists, the Shrine Maiden cannot continue to act as if she knows about it. She can continue to do what she does now and no one will blame the Shrine Maiden.

"So, in their view, do you intend to continue pushing for a merger between Mei and Qiang, or do you intend to decisively agree to that proposal?"

How did we both suffer a loss? Putting aside the issues of what to do and the transaction, since Xihe took advantage of me, he has to give me something in return.

Even the gods and Buddhas who knew the inside story were still secretly alarmed. It seemed that the one was indeed as tyrannical as rumored, and his revenge was slow and ruthless.

Down the mountain path, before Tokugawa unleashed his attack, he had stopped paying attention and continued walking and chatting with Momiji.

Mei Qiangjiakang silently shook his head.

It was Kukai Ieyasu who seized Tokugawa and saved Shuhe. His hands, like withered wood, gripped Tokugawa, extinguishing the unruly lightning. As the young master of Tosho no Kongen, I am not a complicated or easy person.

"It's not because there's some conspiracy or trap, but because this is a very serious matter, and it's best not to make a decision rashly."

The space between the two was shattered by a sudden clap of thunder. The dazzling Tokugawa flashed through the air, the candlelight was extinguished, and the believers and the gods and Buddhas still present were all horrified.

After thinking for a moment, Jingu waved his hand and summoned blazing, cold, and vibrant lightning. With a deafening roar, Tokugawa was released from his hand and flew towards Okunoin.

I mentioned Kawakita Yasuo to the shrine in front of very few gods and Buddhas, which means I haven't even completed the first step yet.

"It's not really a trap, it's just that we didn't fully explain the issues to you."

"That's for sure. Although I'm magnanimous, I don't hold grudges. Before I lose that attack, I'll probably take revenge on him again."

"You don't really care whether you're a monster or a god or Buddha, it's all the same. In the end, you'll still go back to hell."

"Everyone is the same in that matter, after all, everyone's family situation is the same. If he asks you, it doesn't matter whether you push him or not."

From a purely self-interested perspective, Kawakita Yasunari is a bad thing for you, but you yourself don't really care about that kind of thing.

Seeing that Jingu didn't quite understand what she meant, Kureha explained it to him again.

"You wicked little Xi He, no wonder you said the second part first and then secretly told you the first part. It turns out you hadn't even planned to retreat at that time."

Hongye lied and said, "You are the son of the Eighth Heavenly Demon King. As long as Buddhism exists, you can receive that bonus. What is ordinary in the divine path? You are not the kind of person who only walks one path."

It's only now that I realize I don't really have the feeling that I hadn't reached that level before.

Even with Xihe's profound composure, I couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed. Tokugawa was only a few centimeters away from my face; if he hit me, I would either die or be seriously injured.

Since this matter hasn't been mentioned yet, let's hear what the people around us have to say.

"Hiss... that old bald guy Xihe tricked you..."

However, the situation with the ugly Empress was completely different.

If it were Kukai Ieyasu outside, it's likely that Xihe would truly become an incarnation.

Xi He seemed to be talking to himself.

Chapter 195 Different

Returning from Mount Koya in the mundane world, the blazing sun had already sunk into the bay of Tokyo.

As the moon rose above the trees, the lanterns of Senso-ji Temple emitted a gentle glow in the dim night, making even the neon lights seem a little monotonous tonight.

But what replaces it is all kinds of lanterns and colorful lights from vendors, as well as the crowds that are an indispensable part of such festivals and celebrations.

Senso-ji Temple, already a popular tourist destination, was packed with people at this time, and the costumes of Ushi-Gozen and Momiji were particularly eye-catching.

"I'm leaving first. I think you two must be in a hurry to get back too."

The shrine maiden greeted them and then disappeared, avoiding the noisy crowd.
