Movie Witcher

Movie and TV Demon Hunter main volume Chapter 379: Shrine Tokyo, now Japan's non-legal capital, is the hub core of economy, politics, culture, transportation and many other fields, and a world-class financial center.

Needless to say, the value and significance of such a modern metropolis is almost the lifeblood of the Japanese economy, and it has always been ranked alongside London, New York, and Paris in the international arena.

But now the city is experiencing a cold wave that has not been seen in a thousand years. Snowflakes like goose feathers are falling, and the sky and the earth are vast, all covered with thick snow and frost.

Because of the regional climate, Tokyo has never encountered such a cold winter. It has been snowing heavily for nearly two months, and the temperature has dropped again and again. It has exceeded minus 30 degrees and is approaching the forty mark.

From the beginning of March to mid-April, I don't know how many people couldn't stand the severe cold and froze to death in their own homes. The city's traffic was difficult to run, and various jobs were almost paralyzed.

Tens of millions of people are trapped in the city and surrounding areas, waiting desperately, waiting for this abnormal winter to end, or their lives to die.

Dead silence, despair, and the resentment and madness that are about to take shape are the truest portrayals of this city now.

Fortunately, the state agencies are not completely without countermeasures. Now the main roads of the city are barely open to traffic, and the residents trapped at home can still get a little food relief every day, so that they will not starve to death.

But this is just a drop in the bucket. If such a severe weather disaster cannot fundamentally solve the problem, then these countermeasures can at most only delay the process of death, and the final result will still not change.

Now in this city, people die every day due to lack of food and lack of heating. Despair continues to spread in people's hearts, eroding and destroying the defense line of the soul bit by bit.

At this time, the gods that have been semi-publicly recognized by the state organs have become people's spiritual support. Countless people pray at home, praying for the mercy and protection of the gods to relieve this terrible natural disaster.

Some devout believers even went to shrines to pray to the gods despite the severe cold outside and heavy snow.

Faced with the supreme authority of nature, people are powerless to resist, and can only pin their hopes on the illusory gods.

If at this time, the gods can show their sanctity and resolve this crisis, then they will definitely be able to take back a lot of pious and pure beliefs.

On the contrary, if the gods are not revealed, and people who cannot get a response in despair, their belief in the gods will definitely collapse, and they will turn to other existences that can help them and become their new believers.

Therefore, this terrible disaster is both an opportunity and a crisis for the gods.

It depends on how they grasp it!

...

On the main road cleared by the municipal organization team, a black Mercedes-Benz car was driving slowly.

Because of the climate problem, the traffic in the city is now in a semi-paralyzed state, and there are not many vehicles on the road.

Although the vehicles on the road are sparse, they are traveling in a very orderly direction, basically going to various shrines, and this black Mercedes-Benz is the same.

This is the car of the Baichuan family, the special car of the head of the Baichuan family, and it is now used as Luo Ning's means of transportation.

The Bai Chuan family did this not only out of respect for Luo Ning, but also because of the current special situation, cars with ordinary license plates are not qualified to drive on the road or enter and leave the city.

As for why Luo Ning didn't fly directly to Tokyo.

In the current climate, where there is still a direct flight to Tokyo, they all fly to other cities first, and then try to transfer them here.

Inside the car, Kinoshita Suzhi, who took the initiative to take on the driver's job, looked at the traffic flow around him, and a bit of worry flashed in his eyes.

He murmured, "Now everyone puts their hope on the gods."

Luo Ning didn't say anything about this, but asked, "Can't technological means change the weather?"

"No!"

Kinoshita sighed, and said: "We have tried all means, and even asked for assistance from the US Federation to build a weather controller, but it didn't work.

This heavy snow has a supernatural influence. Even the weather controller has no way to change it. It can only be slightly controlled to ease the situation, but it cannot be fundamentally changed. "

After all, Kinoshita Suzhi sighed again: "The effect of the weather controller is constantly weakening and decreasing. Once the weather controller loses its function, the situation will become so bad."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "Then now we can only hope that your gods can solve this problem."

"God..."

Kinoshita Suzhi murmured, and finally smiled wryly, and said nothing more.

She was not a pious believer in the first place, and even from the standpoint of the Bai Chuan family and Bai Chuan Qingya's mother and daughter, she still had a kind of resistance to the gods.

Of course, in the early days of Tokyo’s cold wave and meteorological disaster, she had hoped for the gods, and even organized people from all walks of life on behalf of the Shirakawa family to invest a lot of resources in the shrine, hoping that they could solve the disaster.

Although the shrine has accepted their resources, it has not come up with effective solutions and processing results. As time goes by and the disaster intensifies, Kinoshita's hope has gradually turned into despair. resentment of inaction.

Not only Kinoshita Suzhi, but many people in the city are like this. In this irresistible disaster, the gods are their last sustenance and last hope.

But this last sustenance has not been responded to for a long time. Hope turns to despair little by little, and many complaints and even hatred will naturally arise.

Although Kinoshita Suzhi has not reached this point yet, she also instinctively distrusts the shrine now.

Otherwise, she would not take the initiative to take on the driver's job and bring Luo Ning here alone.

She had already placed the last hope of the Bai Chuan family on Luo Ning, for fear that the wall would have ears to leak out the conversation between her and Luo Ning, as well as the intention of the Bai Chuan family to transfer.

...

Luo Ning and Kinoshita Motoko were on the plane yesterday evening. After arriving in Japan, they changed cars to go to Tokyo. There were various problems along the way, and it took an unknown amount of time. They finally arrived at Toyokawa Inari Shrine in Tokyo. It's evening.

"Lord Luo Ning, this is Toyokawa Inari Shrine in Tokyo!"

Looking at the traffic jammed outside the shrine, Kinoshita Suzhi frowned slightly, stopped the car, turned to Luo Ning in the back seat and said: "Now is a special period, the shrine is under martial law, and you must be inspected before you can enter. It seems that it will take a lot Time, I'll call and inform them to come and meet you."

"Need not."

Luo Ning smiled, looked ahead and said, "They are already here."

"coming?"

Kinoshita followed Luo Ning's gaze and turned around, just in time to see a few witches walking out of the shrine and searching around in the traffic jam.

Soon, they found the car of Bai Chuan's family, hurriedly rushed forward, bowed to Luo Ning in front of the car door, and said: "Your Excellency Luo Ning, I will come to greet you at the order of His Highness, welcome to Inari shrine."

This scene caused quite a commotion in the vehicles that were queuing up for inspection.

Maidens are the servants of the gods, and they are also the messengers and incarnations of the gods walking in the world. They represent the face and identity of the gods, so their status is quite respected, especially the maidens of the Inari Shrine.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for witches to do such things as welcoming guests. If a shrine asks the incarnation of a god to welcome guests, then there are only two possibilities.

First, this shrine doesn't want to live anymore, and wants to play a big game before dying, so it did this kind of blasphemous thing.

Second, the status of this guest is so honorable that even the gods would have to face it squarely. He even issued an edict ordering the witch to come and greet him on his behalf.

Needless to say, the possibility of the former is almost zero. Although the latter is rare, there is still some hope, just like now.

A guest that even the gods value...

who is it?

Countless questions arose in everyone's hearts, but no answers were obtained.

Luo Ning didn't get out of the car, and didn't even show up, he just said straight to Kinoshita: "Go in."

"This is!"

Kinoshita Suzhi hesitated for a while, then nodded, started the car, and drove towards the shrine around the traffic jam ahead.

Seeing this, several priestesses looked at each other, and then they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only follow them back to the shrine.

Fortunately, Kinoshita Suzhi didn't have the idea of ​​driving directly into the temple, and stopped when he arrived at the predetermined location, opened the car door and asked Luo Ning to get out of the car.

Luo Ning got out of the car, and those witches also rushed up, and said to Luo Ning repeatedly: "Your Excellency Luo Ning, His Highness is waiting for your arrival in this hall."

Luo Ning nodded and said, "Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Luo Ning didn't make things difficult, the witches secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said repeatedly: "Please come with us!"

...

Inari God is actually a collective term, not only referring to food and food, but also the gods who are in charge of agriculture are actually Inari Gods, and Yuga's soul is only the head of Inari Gods.

Because it is important to be in charge of agriculture, to keep the five grains plentiful, and to harvest grains, the Inari God has a very high status in the Japanese mythology system.

It is said that there are more than 30,000 Inari Shrines in Japan, headed by Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, which is the main shrine of Miyatsu. It is located in Kyoto City and is the largest Inari Shrine in Japan.

Of course, there are also many Inari Shrines in Tokyo, like the Toyokawa Inari Shrine in Tokyo where Ronin is now.

This is one of Yuyatsu's "strongholds" in Tokyo, and it is also his current legend.

The incarnation of the gods, coming to the world, needless to say the importance, the core force of Fushimi Inari Shrine has already arrived, and other Inari shrines have also provided a lot of support, raising the guard level of this shrine to the highest.

Now in the shrine, priests and maidens guarding and patrolling can be seen everywhere, and there are samurai who are ordered by the shrine on the periphery. It is really a three-step one post, five steps one sentry, and the guard is extremely strict.

Fortunately, a few witches of high status led the way, and Luo Ning arrived at the main hall of the shrine without encountering any obstacles.

When they came to the main hall, several maidens stopped, turned to Kinoshita Sonao, and said, "Miss Kinoshita, please wait here!"

Hearing this, Kinoshita Suzhi didn't dare to say anything, he glanced at Luo Ning, and then stood aside.

Several witches then turned to Luo Ning and said respectfully: "Your Excellency Luo Ning, please!"

Luo Ning was also polite, stepped forward, and stepped directly into the temple.

Inside the hall, incense is lingering, exuding a sacred and solemn atmosphere. A stone god statue is in the center, with a fox mask on its face. It is difficult to see the specific face, and the body line is relatively flat, making it difficult to judge the gender.

This is also a manifestation of the divinity of the gods. Mortal concepts and cognitions cannot be imposed on existences like them, otherwise it is blasphemy.

Fortunately, the god statue is not the only one in this temple. In front of the god statue, there is still a person kneeling in the center of the hall.

She turned her back to Luo Ning, under the crown of the rising sun was the silvery white hair like frost and snow, hanging down like a waterfall, spreading out on the ground together with the snow-white long dress, the moonlight long gown covered her shoulders, and A few spirit foxes are around, playing around her intimately.

"You came?"

Luo Ning stepped into the main hall, the voice of ethereal words sounded, the bright golden light shone, and then subsided, the person who was kneeling on the ground stood up, turned around gracefully, showing a delicate and dusty face presented before him.

Shirakawa Qingya!

Yes and no!

Looking at the face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, seemingly identical but felt completely different, Luo Ning frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Here we are."

"Just come!"

Knowing Luo Ning's thoughts, but not going to point them out, Yu Yanjin's lips curled slightly, his eyes swept over him, and he said, "Your growth rate is faster than I imagined."

Luo Ning glanced at her and said, "You don't look bad."

"Ah……"

Yu Yanjin covered his face with a smile, and was noncommittal to Luo Ning's words, and only said: "I invite you to come here this time, mainly because I want you to do me a favor."

Luo Ning looked calm, and asked, "Is it about the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts?"

"Yes and no."

Yu Yanjin shook his head and said: "The main problem now is this disaster, we must find a way to resolve this crisis!"

Luo Ning nodded and said, "Are you planning to do this?"

"Sacrifice to heaven!"

Yu Yanjin didn't give a shit about it, and said straightforwardly: "This abnormal weather is an abnormal disaster created by the demons of hell, taking advantage of the opportunity of the world change, so I plan to hold a large-scale ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens to dispel the demons. The power to set everything right."

Luo Ning glanced at her and said, "What can I do?"

"protect me!"

Yu Yanjin stared at Luo Ning, and said in a deep voice: "After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens begins, I must concentrate on maintaining the ceremony. At this time, the monsters will definitely attack in large numbers. I need you to protect me from the attacks of the demons until the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens." Finish."

"demon……"

Luo Ning murmured, but did not immediately agree, but asked, "Can you be more specific?"

"That's a long story."

Yu Yanjin smiled, knelt down facing Luo Ning, and then waved his sleeves, revealing an antique tea set, and said, "How about a cup of tea first?"
