I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

Is this what they mean by "time feels like an eternity"?

Three minutes passed silently.

Only then did the God, through his overwhelming will, regain control of the tongue.

His trembling hands were placed on his wrinkled forehead as he looked at Bai Mujun's figure, tears streaming down his face.

"The light of the divine way, the light of the divine way!"

None of the people present thought the statement was an overstatement.

The skill that Shiraki Shun just displayed deserves this praise.

With a series of rustling sounds as chairs were dragged away, the priests from various shrines stood up from their seats.

They rushed to Bai Mujun's side and surrounded him completely.

He praised her without reservation.

"The Light of the Divine Path! The Light of the Divine Path!"

"With Priest Shiraki present, it is truly a great blessing for our Shinto religion!"

"Is this the hand that purifies divine artifacts? Wow, it's so smooth."

If one had to sum up everyone's feelings in a single sentence, it would be this:

That is, the White Wood Priest is awesome.

While praising them, some people also turned around and shouted loudly to the priests of their shrines.

"Quickly, hurry back to the shrine and take out the defiled sacred artifact so that Priest Shiraki can touch it!"

Seeing the eager gazes of the crowd, Bai Mujun shook his head and spoke tactfully.

"Please don't be anxious, everyone."

"In fact, purifying divine artifacts is not an easy task."

"If I have time later, I might deal with it all at once. But right now, I really don't have any time."

That's half true and half false.

What's false is that purifying the divine artifact was actually quite easy for Shiramu Shun.

One slap and they're all done.

And it's true, he's been quite busy lately.

To find the whereabouts of the great demon, exorcise the spirits of Tokyo, and lure out the hidden monsters.

If I keep purifying the sacred artifacts, when will I have time to deal with the hidden dangers in Tokyo?

Upon hearing this, disappointment immediately appeared on everyone's faces.

But they still refused to disperse.

At this moment, Hanekawa Yaya emerged from the crowd and finally managed to squeeze to Shiraki Shun's side. Her white sleeves, adorned with a shrine maiden's robes, billowed high as she said in a crisp voice, "Priest Shiraki, our Kanda Shrine also has a sacred artifact that needs purification!"

"Miyako Hanekawa, please don't cause any more trouble," Shiraki Shun said with a hint of helplessness.

"Listen to me, Priest Shiraki! I just told Grandma that the shrine will pay Priest Shiraki an extra fee for his services!" Yuukawa Yaya said stubbornly, blinking her innocent big eyes.

"To purify a divine artifact, it costs 20 million yen!"

How many?

Shiraki Jun was taken aback.

He had originally intended to refuse, but after hearing the number, he turned back and thought about it seriously.

I felt I should give Hanekawa Shrine Maiden some face, otherwise I would seem very cold-hearted.

"make a deal."

Upon hearing this, Yuukawa Yaya's pretty face immediately lit up with joy, and she ran off to the shrine to retrieve her sacred artifact.

"Twenty million for one piece?" Upon hearing this number, many priests of major shrines were shocked.

"It's so cheap?"

"Priest Shiraki, get one for our shrine too!"

Looking at the chaotic scene before him, Kuroda Musashi, sitting on the stage, was very puzzled.

As an ordinary person without any magical powers, he had no idea what had just happened.

If I had to say something, I would only notice that Master Jing Shui's otherwise unremarkable bald head suddenly shone brightly.

It wasn't dazzling; it just flashed by.

However, there is one thing that Kuroda Musashi can see now.

The people present seemed to greatly admire this handsome young man who had suddenly stepped forward.

He turned his head and asked Inspector Yamato, who was standing next to him, with curiosity.

"Yamato, who is this boy?"

The Yamato Police Department immediately answered quietly.

"Chief Inspector, he is the one who came to the rescue that day, the priest Shiraki Shun of Tenji Shrine."

"It was him who eliminated that monster?" Kuroda Musashi exclaimed in surprise.

Inspector Yamato nodded vigorously.

Now, Priest Shiraki is the priest he singles out!

Kuroda Musashi looked at the figure among the crowd, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He then stood up and shouted loudly.

"Ahem, everyone please return to your seats and please maintain order in the meeting."

Embarrassingly, no one paid him any attention, and they continued to crowd around Shiramoto Jun.

Even if standing might offend the superintendent.

But the priest in front of them is the key to whether their divine artifact can be purified!

It's easy to tell which is more important and which is less important.

For a moment, Kuroda Musashi stood there somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing this, Shiraki Shun waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please take your seats."

"Anyone who needs their sacred artifacts purified can come to me after the meeting to register and specify the shrine and type of sacred artifact they wish to cleanse."

"I will proceed to purify them one by one in the order they are chosen."

"We'll discuss those divine artifacts that are too large separately."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped arguing and obediently returned to their seats.

Just as Shiraki Shun was about to turn and leave, Kuroda Musashi suddenly called out.

"Priest Shiraki, please wait a moment."

"I would like to hear your advice on how to defend against monsters."

Shiramu Jun stopped in his tracks.

Turning back, he looked at Kuroda Musashi's thick eyebrows and nodded seriously.

"some."

"Please speak, please speak!" Kuroda Musashi exclaimed with delight.

Shiraki Shun pondered for a moment, then began to describe his thoughts.

"Actually, I had thought about this before: how to give ordinary people the ability to resist the harm of supernatural forces."

"Just last night, I thought about it all night long."

"We've finally come up with a way to solve this problem at its root."

Upon hearing this, Kuroda Musashi's eyes lit up, and he could hardly contain his excitement.

"Oh? Is it some kind of high-powered, destructive weapon used against demons?"

"No."

"What is that?" Kuroda Musashi was a little confused.

Aside from weapons of mass destruction, what other methods are there to eliminate monsters?

After all, if we don't eliminate the monsters, we can't say we've solved the problem at its root, right?

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Shiramu Jun slowly began to speak.

His voice was gentle and calm, exuding confidence.

“I think we can try to consecrate the human body directly.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present was silenced once again.

Moreover, if the silence just now was a bombshell...

That statement was like dropping an atomic bomb.

The explosion stunned everyone in the audience.

Human body consecration?

What is Priest Shiraki saying?

Consecrating a Buddhist artifact is already considered extremely difficult!

He actually wants to harm the human body?

Has Priest Shiraki gone mad?

The reactions of the crowd were exactly what Shiraki Jun had expected.

After all, consecrating a human body sounds too fantastical.

But only he knew that the consecration he spoke of was not the same as the consecration he performed on Fahai.
