Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine is a shrine established in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan to enshrine the Hachiman God.

    In 1063 (the sixth year of Kanghei) in the second year after the end of the nine-year battle, Minamoto no Yoriyoshi proposed to Yamashiro Province (Kyoto Prefecture) Ishikimizu Hachimangu Shrine and requested that Hachimangu Shrine be established in Tsurugaoka, Yui Township, Kamakura.  In 1180 (the fourth year of his reign), Minamoto Yoritomo came to take control of Kamakura and moved the shrine to its current location, which was called Tsurugaoka Wakamiya. God Hachiman became the patron saint of the Genji.  In 1191 (the second year of Kenkyu), Hachimangu Shrine caught fire, and the shogunate built the main palace on the mountain behind Wakanomiya in an orange-red color.  .

    Some devout people went to the shrine to pray the night before, so there were always densely packed private cars and large buses outside the palace.  Families wish for endless happy events, lovers wish to never be separated, people always have so many wishes, which obviously have to be realized by their own hands, but they place their trust in the gods

    The sky is slightly dark, there is no sunshine, and it is drizzling. The air is filled with the smell of earth, and many bugs happily drill a few small holes in the humid condition

    By default, an ordinary large bus stopped in the "parking lot", and about twenty casually dressed men and women walked out of it. They seemed to be teasing each other easily, just like tourists coming and going.  But as long as pedestrians passed by them, they would be shuddered unconsciously by the cold and chilling aura of these people.

    But pedestrians on the road are not surprised. There are all kinds of people who come here. Whether they are soldiers, gangsters or even killers, they may come here to pay their respects.  And no matter which country you are from or what your status is, if you are a dragon, you have to be coiled by me, and if you are a tiger, you have to lie down with me. You cannot be arrogant in the Hachiman Shrine. They are the sky here. Don't even think about it.  There's trouble here.  Therefore, these people who often come to worship are not surprised, as long as they will not be harmed.

    Two years ago, a group of Italian mafia brazenly prepared to cause trouble here. Unexpectedly, before even two bullets were fired from their guns, they were submerged by a flood of temple warriors, and they were all dismembered in the end!  The power of fanatic believers is truly terrifying!  Their force may not be high, but their fearless spirit is terrifying!

    Butcher was at the forefront and said in the team channel:

    "Follow the plan."

    Everyone nodded and walked towards the temple faster.

    There is a long staircase before entering the shrine. The path from the second gate (the second gate of the shrine) to the third gate is called "Dangaku". It is a raised sidewalk made of rammed earth, and cherry blossoms are planted on both sides of the road.  Although it is autumn now, the trees are all covered with cherry blossoms for some reason.  It seems like they were tricked into ignoring the change of seasons.

    In the eyes of ordinary people, it must be aloof and incredible.  But Lu Yun could only shake his head. Such a violation of natural forces must have been done by overdrawing the vitality of these trees. They could have lived for a long time, but now they may wither in a year or two, and they will have to replace them.  These so-called shrines and temples are just so artificial, and the principle of the supremacy of face and engineering is completely retained, which is completely inferior.

    In front of the shrine, there were crowds of people and the queue was already long.  Fifteen red, yellow and blue hemp ropes were tied under the eaves, with a distance of about 70 or 80 centimeters between each hemp rope. A copper bell about the size of a basketball was tied to the top of the hemp rope.  There are three hemp ropes in the middle that are obviously two or three times thicker than the others.

    The most interesting thing is that there is a very long queue behind the three thick hemp ropes in the middle.  I don¡¯t know if shaking the three roots in the middle will be more effective than the others?

    "I haven't been here for a long time. I used to come here before going on a killing mission. Later, the mission failed, and I survived in another form." Sakamoto Yuta, the number two person in the doctor team, looked around and took the initiative.  We have reached the end of a team. Of course, in addition to paying homage, we may also leave something else behind.

    Lu Yun shrugged noncommittally. The Japanese gods would definitely not bless him even if he worshiped them. Besides, he had never worshiped any gods. Didn¡¯t he come to Sin City all the same?

    "Do you think we are God's toys? Is his pleasure just to see us bad guys struggling in various worlds and dying in the end" Shen Ziying walked beside and mentioned it seemingly casually.

    Lu Yun looked at the endless flow of people and couldn't help but sigh: "The quality of human nature has nothing to do with the quality of destiny. I feel that we have earned it and have one more life to enjoy a different life. Just like doctors and people  , they can continue to do whatever they want, that¡¯s enough for them, don¡¯t think too much.¡±

    "Haha, indeed, I feel a lot better thinking about it this way. At least I have killed all the prison guards." Shen Ziying smiled, although her words were chilling.

      The most prominent symbol of the shrine is the Chinese character "kai". When people go to the shrine, they usually clean their hands with a long-handled wooden spoon by the pool in front of the shrine, and then go to the shrine to worship at the raised temples on both sides of the roof.  Throw some change into the donation box with wooden lattice, clap your hands a few times, and pray with your hands together.  Some prayer halls also have thick hemp ropes hung in front of them. The prayers shake them a few times, causing the wind chimes on the hemp ropes to ring.

    In the worship hall of the shrine, there are no objects of worship, neither statues nor tablets.  But there will be dedicated clergy to help you resolve your doubts and purify yourself.  Unwilling to wait any longer, Lu Yun and the others walked up to a female priestess wearing white plain clothes. Lu Yun said politely:

    "Master Priest, I have come specifically to visit Shota Ikeda, one of the four great Onmyoji of the Kishin Palace, and I would like you to inform him. I would like to say that my friend Yun is here to visit."

    Hearing this, the Priestess stopped what she was doing, put the purification water spoon back into the barrel, recited a spell for a while, and seemed to be finishing her work, and said with a professional magic stick on her face:

    "May I have a token of honor?"

    "I don't have any tokens. Why do I need this to visit my friends? But I have a spell drawn by the master. Please take a look." Lu Yun handed over a seemingly ordinary, lackluster blue note.

    After taking the talisman, Priestess's face changed slightly, and she quickly handed it back to Lu Yun, bowing and saying: "It is indeed a talisman made by Palace Master Ikeda himself. The palace master rarely gives personal talismans to others, so I guess it is  The gentleman must be his lifelong friend! I have offended you so much, please come with me."

    Walking along the corridor of the palace, you can see that the interior is quite complex, and they are all antique Japanese-style houses with paper windows and wooden eaves, which are somewhat similar to the Shaolin Temple in the costume drama.

    Priestess led the way, stopped in front of a room, put her hands on her abdomen, lowered her head and said slowly:

    "Sir, you came at a bad time. Palace Master Ikeda has been staying in Yokohama City recently and has not returned for a long time. Moreover, the other three palace masters in the palace today did not know what happened, so they led some black-clothed priests (priests in charge of fighting) and elites.  The temple warriors have left, and Palace Master Ikeda must have gone with them. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait in the waiting room. If there are any special services, you can give them orders now. There are currently many idle trainee priests in the palace.  I believe they will not reject those who devote themselves to your husband."

    ??Looking at it this way, the palace masters still kept the matter of sealing the cracks in the demon world a secret, and the lower-level clergy had no idea where they were going.  And the last seductive words were said in such a calm tone, and in front of the female companion, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all.

    Lu Yun refused awkwardly: "No, I have something important to talk about, and I have to talk about it even if the master is not here. So if it is convenient, can you introduce me to the top person in charge here? This concerns your palace.  safety issues.¡±

    Hearing such a serious matter, the Priestess naturally did not dare to show any signs of neglect. She excused herself and left quickly.

    After a while, the metal friction sound of "Katzkatz" was heard from outside the door. The two people in the room suddenly felt a pressure on their chests, as if a sledgehammer was constantly beating.  The sunlight at the door was mostly blocked, making it impossible to enter the room. A stretched black shadow appeared on the emerald green tatami.

    "You guys actually made Jingyi (Priestess) come here to report so anxiously. I hope it is really about the safety of my palace as you said. Otherwise, even if you are a friend of Master Ikeda, I will not forgive you lightly!  "
