"Are you satisfied, Hanyu-kun?" Suzuki Shiro asked with a smile.
Hanyu Qing'an pondered for a moment, "Isn't it a bit too extravagant? I thought it was a small shrine with great scenery, suitable for seclusion."
Suzuki Shiro didn't take it seriously, "It's not extravagant at all. Our Suzuki family has never cared about the cost of its landmark building."
"Of course, I also know that Hanyu-kun, you like peace and quiet, so most of these you see are just supporting buildings. The real main body of the shrine is on the top of the mountain, and the residence used to live is the kind of tranquility that you like, Hanyu-kun.
environment.”
My father-in-law is so considerate, and Hanyu Kiyosu has nothing to say. The supporting buildings are so luxurious, and he deserves to be a top chaebol.
While speaking, Suzuki Shiro led everyone into the car, and first made a half circle around the front of this wonder. When they came to the side, a transparent sightseeing elevator appeared in front of everyone.
A few people got off the car and changed to the elevator, and went straight to the highest point of this wonder. Looking out of the elevator, the lush woods gradually fell below their feet.
This hill is not too high, just over 100 meters. The buildings built on the hill are naturally only that high. Soon the elevator arrived near the top of the mountain.
Everyone got out of the elevator and stood by the fence and looked into the distance. The sea in the distance, the nearby hills and woods, and the magnificent buildings at their feet all came into view.
The sun is shining brightly and I feel relaxed and happy.
"I heard something about your shikigami from Sonoko earlier, Hanyu-kun, such as Tamamo-mae, Shuten-dōji and Daitengu. Such great demons and gods can be used by you, so here is this
Architectural ideas.”
Suzuki Shiro introduced as he walked, "The layers of palaces below are used to place the statues of your shikigami. I don't know how many shikigami you have, so I try to make the most of the terrain and build as many as possible.
Some."
"The building on the ground floor used to house shikigami statues has a total of 24 floors, with a total height of 99.9 meters. Above this, starting from where we step, is the real location of the shrine. If believers want to visit, they need to walk
Climb the twenty-fourth floor as a sign of piety."
"If you worship all the shikigami below and then go up here to worship, it will be the most pious."
Hanyu Qing'an's eyelids jumped when he heard this. This was going to give him the status of a god directly. Although he occasionally thought about it, when he really wanted to do it, his mentality could not change for a while.
Before Suzuki Shiro finished his introduction, he led everyone along the fence to the front of the building, where a large torii gate appeared on the steps in front of them.
After passing the torii gate, there is the place where the gods live, which is used to remind visitors to pay attention to their words and deeds.
After the torii is the shrine. People pass through the torii and step onto the shrine. There are stone lanterns standing on both sides of the shrine. There are various kinds of lanterns with almost no repetition. They are used for illumination and exorcism. They can also allow believers to carve their names on the pillars or bases.
Come to worship.
In addition to stone lanterns, there are some pedestals prepared for statues on both sides of the shrine. In the future, shikigami statues will also be placed here. The gods and monsters that believers have worshiped below can only serve as envoys and guards here.
The style of the shrine is instantly heightened.
After walking a few more steps, I turned back and saw that the stairs I had just gone up were gone. The torii gate behind me seemed to stand out of thin air, stationed at the end of the world, as if it was truly completely isolated from the secular world.
After walking for a while, there are stairs again. When you go up, you see the worship hall where visitors come to worship. In addition to the worship hall, there are also hand water houses for purifying hands scattered around, and Ema and royal water are given to worshipers.
There are buildings such as the granting office for shrine rituals and the social affairs office for handling shrine affairs.
After bypassing the worship hall, there is also a coin hall, which is used to worship coins and silk, also called the middle hall.
After passing through the nave, another flight of stairs appeared. Director Baima was already a little out of breath, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
A torii gate is set up on the top of the steps, surrounded by jade walls, to remind visitors that the top is the main hall and that worshipers should stop.
After going up, we finally reached the highest level of the shrine. In the middle is the main hall, directly opposite the torii gate behind it, surrounded by buildings such as the Kagura Hall, the Dance Hall, the Treasure Hall, and the Mikoshi Hall.
Along the way, it was like an emperor going to court, with Hanyu Qingan standing in the middle of the main hall and secretly complaining.
I turned around and looked outside the temple. The design of the torii gate facing me was the same as the previous one. I couldn't see the building below. The outside of the torii gate was directly in the air. My sight was unobstructed through the open space in front of the temple and past the torii gate.
Throw into the sky.
Such a vast field of vision makes it feel like you are above the nine heavens, overlooking all living beings.
Yes, the power I have now is far stronger than many legendary gods, so I can call myself a god and regard ordinary people as mortals.
I used it to fool others before, but standing here I just feel that it is what it is, it is just the truth.
Hanyu Qing'an was suddenly startled, and felt inexplicably terrified. He always felt that he would ascend in the next second and become an emotionless god, or a stone.
It seems that I can't stay here for too long, otherwise I'm afraid I will really lose touch with human nature and get lost in my own deceptive words.
"Why are you dazed?"
Suzuki Sonoko patted him on the back, Hanyu Kiyosu turned around and found that Sonoko's expression was no different from her usual shopping expression, and she didn't have the consciousness of a shrine maiden serving the gods at all.
The complicated mood just now calmed down immediately, as if I had regained my anchor point in this world. What good is it to be a god in this deserted shrine? Compared with the interesting life, it is not worth it.
Hanyu Kiyosu said: "I'm thinking that this can be used as a take-off place. When there is a funeral commission, the two of us will get on the sedan and let the shikigami pull us to fly from here to the destination. What do you think?"
Suzuki Sonoko's eyes lit up. She had seen a lot of buildings and scenery. Although this shrine was a bit surprising, she was still surprised. Qing'an-kun's proposal was indeed great.
Under the moonlight, she was wearing a miko's clothes, sitting next to Qing'an-kun who was wearing an onmyoji's clothes. There were shikigami in front of and behind her, and she was slowly flying through the air in the gentle evening breeze. That feeling...
This time it was Suzuki Sonoko's turn to be in a daze. Hanyu Kiyosu smiled and left the main hall with satisfaction, not having finished reading yet.
When I was at the foot of the mountain, I didn't think the top of the mountain was too big. After I came up, I realized that it was actually ridiculously big. The top floor was even wider than the base of the building below.
Of course, the reason why the top floor can be built so big is because only part of it is on the twenty-fourth floor below, and the other part is built directly on the mountain along the mountain.
Hanyu Kiyosu followed Suzuki Shiro and visited various temples. He found that it was just as he said. The construction here was basically complete. It would be no problem to put it into use immediately. Most of the parts that have not yet been built are the ones below.
