Outside the museum, a car was waiting for Pei Zi Yun.
Sakako was originally in the car, but she got out in a blink of an eye. Although she was wearing a kimono and walked with small steps, her movements looked like she was gliding. She opened the door for Pei Zi Yun and placed her hand on it to avoid hitting her head.
"Yamada Ki, this car will be your private car from now on. If you need anything, just let me know." Sakako lowered her head and said. This car was specially arranged for Pei Zi Yun by the Makawa Shrine. It was accompanied by a professional driver because Pei Zi Yun was now qualified to hold the inheritance ceremony.
After leaving the museum, Pei Zi Yun did not hesitate and immediately got into the car, avoiding the reporters behind him.
If Pei Zi Yun did not move quickly, he would be surrounded and temporarily unable to leave. This was because this matter was too sensational.
The interior of the car was luxurious and there was a small fridge. He opened it casually and found that there was no wine, only soft drinks.
The driver drove steadily, looking at the road ahead as he drove towards the Makawa Shrine. Behind him, there was a car following. Sakako looked at it and smiled, "Yamada Ki, it's too early for you to drink. The same goes for cigars."
"However, if you inherit the Yuanfu, we can supply it for you internally."
According to the ancient customs, even if one was only thirteen years old, as long as he took the Yuanfu, he would be considered an adult.
Pei Zi Yun smiled, "I'll drink some wine, but I won't smoke."
Tokyo was bustling with activity, with tall buildings everywhere. There was an endless stream of cars on the road. Pei Zi Yun switched on the small television in the car, and the television started playing the news.
"The most shocking news in history. The only Grand Slam winner in the history of Japanese literature, Yamada Shinichi, is actually a junior high student!"
On the television, a group of reporters gave up on chasing the minor (if something happened, it would be big trouble) and turned around to chase the judges of the Ogawa Prize and other participating authors.
"Mr. Yazu, Mr. Yazu, you are also the winner of the Ogawa Prize. Do you really think that Yamada Shinichi's work is worthy of the Ogawa Prize?"
"There is no inside story. The people have the right to know the truth. Please."
Someone said to the author, "Mr. Katamura, Mr. Nakamura, you are both famous authors. What do you think of Yamada Shinichi winning the prize?"
"Is it appropriate to win a prize at thirteen years old?"
Originally, Japan was very respectful towards writers. But at this time, the reporters had already gone crazy. They all rushed forward, wanting to get a big scoop.
Pei Zi Yun couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the news about Yamada Shinichi being broadcasted live on the television station. He changed the channel, but after a few turns, he realized that all the channels were broadcasting the same shocking news.
Sakako Sanako listened to the news from the TV in the car and said, "You're really amazing!"
"I'm afraid he's going to become a legend in Country R."
Pei Zi Yun felt a headache coming on. He switched off the small television and started searching on his phone.
Unsurprisingly, the news of Ogawa Shang and Yamada Shinji had become the top search on the hot search list. The headlines of various sections were this shocking news, and the Internet was abuzz with discussions.
In the live broadcast room, a middle-aged man with hair wax, a slightly tanned face, and spirited eyes was holding a microphone in his hand. Behind him was a screen that displayed the information of all of Yamada Shinichi's works.
He was Aoki Masahada, a streamer related to movies and novels. He followed and commented on the latest novels and hottest movies in a timely manner, gathering a large number of fans and popularity.
Aoki Masahada's live broadcast account now had 200,000 fans, which could bring him more than a million yen every month.
At this moment, Aoki Masahada was interacting with his fans and discussing Yamada Shinji.
A fan called 'The Rise of the Military Bureau' asked Aoki Masahada, "Aoki-san, do you think what Yamada Shinji said is true?"
Aoki Masahada was now in his thirties and quickly replied, "If there's no accident, this news must be true. This was announced on such a grand occasion like Ogawa Shang. It's unbelievable that there could be a mistake. He's treating the people too lightly!"
"So, everything that Mr. Yamada said should be true!"
'Nobuhiro Is Reasonable' also asked, "Aoki-san, how did he do it? I can't believe that he could write such outstanding works in junior high. This world is too scary. "
"I have the same feeling. When I was in junior high, I was just a child asking for pocket money from my mother. I couldn't even write a complete love letter!" Aoki Masahada replied in a surprised tone, "I'm afraid that Mr. Yamada is a legendary genius!"
Not only Aoki Masahada, but many others also expressed their support. The Japanese were very obedient to the authorities and elites, so the public opinion was generally reversed.
Of course, Japan was not a mechanical society, and it was not like it was 20 years ago. Even with the support of many elites and authorities, many people still lost their minds from the shock of this news. They were crazily cursing that there must be a conspiracy.
At this time, the top post on the Wenshu Forum was: "The Shocking Scam in Japanese History — Yamada Shinji's Award History."
The Wenshu Forum was a literary forum. This post first introduced Yamada Shinji's life and background, saying that Yamada Shinji was only a junior high student and came from an ordinary middle-class family. However, Yamada Shinji published "Who is the Second Man" and won the Araki Award for this book. He was only 12 years old at that time, and then "Nocturnal Ghost" won the Ogawa Award for his latest book, "The Boat of Ziyuan" won the Ogawa Award!
In such a short time, at such a young age, he had won such an award. There must be a conspiracy. This was a shocking scam!
And behind this post, many supporters left comments.
"Yamada Shinji, you big liar!"
"Get lost, don't slander literature!"
Sakako saw this as well. She was silent for a while before consoling him, "Yamada Shinji, please don't take these people to heart. They just find it hard to accept."
Pei Zi Yun wasn't a true Japanese, and didn't have the illness of caring about the opinions of others. He only thought to himself, 'Even if we continue to cultivate order, there are still many people who are unable to submit. No wonder, this means that many people's efforts are worthless.'
He then yawned and switched off his phone, quietly waiting for his arrival at the Jinchuan Shrine.
The Jinchuan Shrine was built with a large amount of sandalwood, giving off a fragrant aroma. The beams and pillars were fastened together without any nails, giving off a natural beauty. The roof was made from the top of a mountain, giving off a dignified and classical feel.
When Pei Zi Yun reached the shrine, he stepped into it. The green eaves, the island in front of the shrine, the stone lanterns, the sailor's cabin, and the pine and cypress trees stood side by side, giving off a deep and serene feeling. He couldn't help but sigh, 'As expected of the Jinchuan Shrine!'
At this point, Pei Zi Yun had already changed into a traditional samurai attire. This was prepared by Sakako, and he changed into it while he was in the car.
When Pei Zi Yun arrived at the Jinchuan Shrine, he saw someone welcoming him.
"These are the people from the Hall of Gods, as well as your retainers."
The leader of the group was Kawatake Koho from the Hall of Gods. He was dressed in a dignified and elegant robe, and his expression was solemn. Seeing that Pei Zi Yun had arrived, he bowed and led Pei Zi Yun inside.
About five hundred meters away, a car stopped. Most of the reporters did not chase after the minor, but Fukamatsu Mitsuki had nowhere else to go, and had followed them.
He was a little disheveled, and his neat suit was a little messy. This was because he had spent a lot of energy to squeeze through the crowd. Moreover, in the process of rushing out of the crowd, he had almost slipped and slid to the corner of the wall, cutting his hand.
But seeing this scene, Fukamatsu Mitsuki felt that it was all worth it.
Fukamatsu Mitsuki clenched his fists and muttered to himself, "I was right. There's something fishy going on!"
Fukamatsu Mitsuki thought to himself as he picked up the camera and filmed the scene. He had already thought of the title — Ogawa Prize winner, thirteen years old, met with a respectful welcome at the shrine.
This would definitely ignite public opinion!
Fukamatsu Mitsuki's face was filled with excitement as he walked towards the Jinchuan Shrine.
The Jinchuan Shrine was huge. As Fukamatsu Mitsuki entered, he realized that most of the people were busy welcoming Yamada Shinji, and no one noticed him. He could not help but sigh in relief, "God must be supporting me."
Japanese society was a typical East Asian civilization. They were not fanatical about religion, but they still respected the gods. One-third of them were believers.
Although Fukamatsu Mitsuki was not a religious person, he naturally had such thoughts. In fact, he knew that this was normal. In times of peace, and it was a public place, who would be so heavily guarded?
Fukamatsu Mitsuki followed Pei Zi Yun. It seemed like today was his lucky day, as he had not been discovered along the way.
Gradually, Fukamatsu Mitsuki reached the depths of the Jinchuan Shrine.
In the depths of the Jinchuan Shrine, a simple yet solemn ceremony was being held – the Gendo ceremony.
Kawatake Takeshi personally placed the black hat on Pei Zi Yun's head and said, "On this auspicious day, the Gendo ceremony shall be added. Abandon your youthful ambitions, and follow the course of events. Live a long life, and you will be blessed. "
Pei Zi Yun was now wearing a boat-shaped black hat, a white robe, a button on his chest (made of leather), a small opening (made of leather), a small opening (made of leather), a robe, a waist plate, and a fan. This was the Gendo ceremony.
Kawatake Takeshi retreated and bowed to someone. This person returned the bow. This person was wearing a black hat, a white robe, a hunting robe, a button on his sleeves, a finger plate, a robe, and a robe. This indicated that he had more than ten thousand stones during the shogunate's era.
"This is Nagai Nuanji, the representative of the shogunate."
Nagai Nuanji picked up a wooden torch and lit a bonfire. He then walked up to the stage and announced, "Now, let's welcome the successor of the Jinchuan Shrine, Yamada Shinji."
At the Jinchuan Shrine's inheritance ceremony, Kawatake Takeshi from the Hall of Gods was present. This was because of the Hall of Gods' rules.
All along, the Hall of Gods and the shrines had very clear rules. No matter which shrine, once the inheritance ceremony was held, it had to be witnessed by someone from the Hall of Gods. Only then would the ceremony be officially recognized.
Especially after the Hall of Gods was infiltrated by the Japanese government, this rule was strictly followed.
As for the representative of the shogunate, this was because the Jinchuan Shrine had six hundred stones of knowledge. In name, they were the official representative of the shogunate.
Pei Zi Yun walked up the stage expressionlessly.
At this point, a group of witches from the Jinchuan Shrine appeared. Each of them held a book in their hands and surrounded Pei Zi Yun, chanting incessantly.
At the same time, a strange music was played, as they danced a strange dance.
After some time, when the witches had finished their strange dance, they all breathed out gently towards Pei Zi Yun's forehead and chest.
Pei Zi Yun stood in the middle expressionlessly, as if he wasn't uncomfortable with this strange scene. This was because he knew from the Sakakami Sansetsu that in this ceremony, this breath represented a blessing.
'As for the group of retainers, they will only formally greet them when they come out from the secret chamber.'
Just as he was thinking about this, the sun disappeared and it was night time.
Kawatake Takeshi stood up and said, "Night Ritual – Done!"
The Night Ritual was a special ceremony of the Jinchuan Shrine. It started at night and lasted until dawn the next day. In other words, once he came out from the secret chamber, he would be the rightful ruler.
Pei Zi Yun laughed and stepped into the main hall of the deities. At this point, the main hall was empty, and the door to the secret chamber was wide open.
Pei Zi Yun walked into the secret chamber and closed the door behind him.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a heavy pressure, as well as a dense fog.
