Sakako did not expect Pei Ziyun to interrupt her. She could not help but frown, but seeing Pei Ziyun's serious face, she lowered her head and said, "Hey, for our shrine, suppressing evil spirits is the most important job."
"Therefore, for a shrine, samurai are the most important wealth. Having a samurai who can kill evil spirits will allow the shrine to continue and grow."
"Samurai have a very high status in the shrine. Even the successor of the shrine must be a samurai who has killed evil spirits."
"Samurai kill evil spirits, and the relationship between samurai and evil spirits is a bit complicated. Although samurai can kill evil spirits, they will also be chased by evil spirits."
Speaking of this, she did not think that Pei Ziyun was too young. She poured him a glass of sake and said, "Yamada-kun, do you understand this?"
Pei Ziyun nodded silently. "I understand, please continue."
Not to mention the principle of gazing into the abyss, being watched by the abyss, in fact, the frontline police and soldiers themselves may be unstable factors, and need special attention and supervision.
"Hey, it's good that you can understand. The deepest connection with evil spirits is the shrine and the inheritance of blood payers. The former is the land of samurai, and the latter is the reward for killing evil spirits."
"Yamada-kun, the shrine has 600 stones. In fact, the land ownership includes the entire mountain, and there is also the worship of the Bujin Chōkai, but the money is not a lot."
Pei Zi Yun nodded his head, "Consecrate!"
Before the Shinagawa shogunate, the power of Buddhism was twice that of shinto. After the Shinagawa shogunate, shinto grew stronger. Although in the modern era, the separation of church and state was implemented, shinto was twice as powerful as Buddhism.
In Japan, when a child was born, according to tradition, it was necessary to go to the shrine to pray for blessings. The people believed in "geography" and believed that people in each land had to go to the local shrine to pray for blessings. This was the "Seven, Five, Three Festivals".
Other major events were the same. For example, when a house was built, there would be a shrine to pray for blessings. This was already a part of the construction company.
Marriage was the same.
Only death was not managed by the shrine. Because of the traditional concept of shinto, death and corpses were considered unclean, they did not care about funerals. This was managed by the temple.
Logically speaking, this was enough for the basic expenses of the shrine, but looking at the extravagance of the Mikawa Shrine, this amount of money was far from enough.
"Yamada-kun, it's not that our Makawa Shrine wants to put on a show. Just take the Takamori family incident as an example. Without a team, there's no way we can deal with the aftermath of killing the demon." Sakako seemed to have seen through Pei Zi Yun's thoughts and said, "You don't want to be chased by the police and the public who don't know the truth, right? That's why it's necessary to earn blood-payers. It's not enough to just rely on the offerings from the believers. "
Hearing this, Pei Zi Yun nodded his head, deep in thought. If that was the case, then everything that had happened made sense. He frowned and asked, "Who are these blood-payers?"
"Blood-payers are warriors who solve problems and kill or exorcise evil spirits. The 1.5 billion is Stonedune's reward over the years. Because he obtained it by killing evil spirits, he is a blood-payer."
"Blood-payers and evil spirits have a lot of karma. It's not that Stonedune doesn't want to send it to Mako Takamori and her mother, but he can't. This will directly involve Mako Takamori and her mother in the revenge of the evil spirits." Sakako said softly, "Generally speaking, Mako Takamori and her mother will have the shrine allocate funds from the believers. This is cleaner."
"But Stonedune has self-exiled for some reason, so Mako Takamori and her mother have led a hard life these years."
"If that's the case, why did Stonedune ask me to give the 1.5 billion to Mako Takamori and her mother this time? If I didn't kill the evil spirits, Mako Takamori and her mother would probably die! "Pei Zi Yun asked, tapping his fingers on the floor.
"This should be because Stonedune was already half bewitched by the evil spirits at that time." Sakako squinted and thought carefully. She sighed and said, "Before Stonedune died, he missed Mako Takamori and her mother, and the evil spirits twisted his thoughts. As long as Mako Takamori and her mother died, they could be together as a family."
"This is a common thing."
After saying this, both of them were silent for a while. Pei Zi Yun sighed. "Is that so? It seems like it's not easy to be a samurai. "
"Yes, the shrine constantly trains samurai, and the samurai kill the evil spirits. When the samurai are in decline, it's the best time for the evil spirits to bite back."
"Therefore, the inheritance of the shrine and the blood-payers became the test for the successor of the shrine. Only by successfully killing the evil spirits can one inherit the shrine and the blood-payers."
"Of course, this time, the two are separated. Yamada-kun, actually, you have the right to half of this 1.5 billion Mako." Sakako glanced at it and said.
Pei Zi Yun understood a little. Sakako wanted to ask if he had any thoughts on the 'inheritance' left behind by Seto Seto, but he really did not have any thoughts. He said, "If the blood-payers are the reward for killing the evil spirits, isn't it natural for Stonedune to leave it to his wife and daughter?"
Sakako smiled brightly. She said, "If you say so, I'm relieved. The most dangerous part of these two rituals is karma."
"Karma is related to the evil spirits. The more evil spirits you kill or come into contact with, the deeper the karma, and the easier it is for problems to arise. Some powerful evil spirits or even unknown existences will hunt you down."
"The most famous incident is recorded in the books of the Jin River Shrine. In history, 'White Fox Prince' Abe no Seimei was besieged by several unknown existences in his later years because of the deep karma. Although he managed to escape, he was seriously injured. From this, one can see how terrifying karma is."
Sakako's expression changed as she said this. She smiled. "Yamada-kun, now that you've passed the shrine inheritance test, you've become the young master of the Jin River Shrine."
As she said this, Sakako bowed respectfully. She had already changed the way she addressed him. "Yamada-kun, you're now the young master of the Jin River Shrine. If there's anything else you want to know, I'll tell you."
Pei Zi Yun didn't reply immediately. Seeing that Pei Zi Yun didn't move and seemed to be in a daze, Sakako continued, "If possible, Yamada-kun, please come to the Jin River Shrine tomorrow. We'll help you with your attire, inherit the Jin River Shrine, and become a samurai."
Pei Zi Yun looked at the system, and a Plum Blossom appeared in front of him. It grew bigger and turned into an information interface with a faint sense of light.
[Mission: Protect his wife and daughter out of tacit understanding between warriors (Completed)]
Hmm, after resolving this crisis, the rescue mission would be completed, right?
Pei Zi Yun pressed the button and looked at it. Including his savings from the previous world, he now had six Fate Points. He then stood up and looked outside. Seeing that the sky was already bright, he then said to the Three Thousand Sakako, "I did not agree to be the successor of the Makawa Shrine."
"When I was visiting the Great General's History Museum, I thought that I must become someone like the Great General."
"I want to rule the entire country with my wooden blade. That's my true dream."
As he said this, Pei Zi Yun bowed and lowered his head. He said to Sakako with a serious expression, "I'm really sorry, I'll take my leave."

Shiraishi Gakuen Publishing House
This was a relatively good publishing house in Japan. Although it couldn't be compared to the Juying Society, it was still quite famous. Its magazine sales were among the top of many publishing houses.
Especially in the past few years, Shiraishi Gakuen Publishing House had been in the limelight. Akiyama Zuichi had contributed the book 'Tokyo Strategy', which was published by Shiraishi Gakuen. It talked about the story of Sunane Ryosuke, a samurai, who arrived in Tokyo to study and find a job, as well as his struggles.
This reflected the Japanese samurai's code of conduct and philosophy. It was discussed on the levels of righteousness, courage, benevolence, propriety, honesty, reputation, loyalty, self-restraint, and so on. It was analyzed layer by layer, showing the spiritual motivation of the rise of Japan.
The book caused a huge reaction when it was published. In a short period of time, it was translated into Japanese, French, German, Russian, Polish, Norwegian, Bohemian, Hungarian, and many other languages. It made Shiraishi Gakuen Publishing House famous.
However, in the past few years, Shiraishi Gakuen Publishing House was getting worse and worse. There were no more refreshing works. They could only rely on the previous accumulation of fame to barely support themselves like ordinary publishing houses.
Nagano Narimi had been working for several years. She worked in Shiraishi Gakuen Publishing House. She was mainly responsible for reviewing new manuscripts and signing contracts with new authors. Although she was busy, the salary was still very good. It was enough for Nagano Narimi to live a comfortable life. However, in the past two years, with the decline in sales of Shiraishi Gakuen, Nagano Narimi's treatment was not as good as before.
Nagano Narimi didn't know the root cause of the decline in sales. She had to work more seriously, hoping to unearth excellent authors and inject new vitality into Shiraishi Gakuen.
This morning, when Nagano Narimi arrived at the publishing house, she heard someone shouting: "Nagano-san, the minister wants you to go to the office!"
When Nagano Narimi heard this, she hurriedly put down her lunch and went to the minister's office.
When Nagano Narimi opened the door, she saw the minister. The minister was in his forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, sipping tea, sitting in a chair and looking at the neatly arranged manuscripts on the table.
After Nagano Narimi entered the door, she bowed to the minister. The minister raised his head, put down the teacup and manuscripts, and said to Nagano Narimi: "You've worked hard."
"I've read the manuscripts. This time, the authors you unearthed all have some potential."
"Especially Yamada Shinji, he is indeed a very good new author. In terms of writing, he has some of the style of Akiyama Zuichi."
"I'm not saying that Yamada Shinji's style is similar to Akiyama Zuichi's, but that kind of feeling."
Nagano Narimi didn't speak, she just bowed. She actually felt the same way. She felt the potential to become a great writer.
"And it seems that Yamada Shinji is very young. Our Shiraishi Gakuen Publishing House has suffered many blows and difficulties. Every time, we rely on excellent authors to bounce back."
"It's the same now. If we want to be more stable, we have to constantly have excellent authors to join. You go and contact Yamada Shinji. You have to be gentle. If he is not satisfied with the conditions, you can appropriately increase the weight. It's best if he can directly sign a contract with us!"
"Yes!" Nagano Narimi immediately agreed to the minister's request. This was originally the work of Nagano Narimi.
