I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

But a bad relationship doesn’t mean there is a mental problem.

He led Qianqiu Jida to the door of Platycodon Clinic.

"Is this the place? Lord Bitchu-no-kami?" Chiaki Keita looked outside the door and calmly asked Asai Bitchu-no-kami beside him. Chiaki Keita was about thirty years old this year and looked a bit arrogant.

"Yes, but as an elder, I must make this clear." Asai Bichu-no-kami was in his fifties. His father-in-law was the previous shrine chief of Atsuta Shrine, Chiaki Hikaru. Therefore, the two sides were quite related. As an elder, he said to Chiaki Keita, "This young woman has a backer. Her backer is Hokuto Nobuyuki! No ordinary one..."

"It doesn't matter. In front of eight million gods, all mortals are the same." He had been a charlatan for so long that he felt a little dignified, but not too dignified. Qianqiu Jida shook his head slightly and said, "I came here to criticize the shrine maiden for not having a divine tablet! How can she be a shrine maiden without certification? It's just a wild and lewd cult. It would be a good thing to let her change her ways. Either she can marry an honest man, or she can come to my shrine to convert. Both are good options. In the future, my shrine and this Lord Beidou will be considered related."

"..." Asai Bichu-no-kami thought that was the point, but... okay. Young people don't turn back until they hit the wall, and besides, the other party will probably hold a grudge against them. The old man immediately shook his head and said, "But I'm afraid that Master Hokuto isn't someone who gives in so easily. He needs to be told what to say... I won't stay with you any longer, my Lord! (Goodbye)"

Qianqiu Keida was a little puzzled by the old man's rapid escape despite his age. However, he felt emboldened when he realized that someone behind him was Atsuta Jingu.

There was a line outside the clinic, but everyone made way for him, a priest in his uniform, which gave him some confidence. When he walked into the clinic, he saw several young mikos busy at work. One of them was prettier than any of the other mikos he had ever had sex with.

"...Ahem!" After staring blankly for a few seconds, he suddenly coughed violently! ——He was about to get into the mood! Could this also be an unspoken rule? "You've been caught in the adultery! Come out and be punished quickly!——"

Actually, Qianqiu Jida was a bit timid at first. How could he not know Beidou Xinwei's reputation? Wouldn't that be stupid? - So at first, what he wanted to say was, "Why don't you come out and explain yourself quickly?"

This is more neutral, not like the command or bossy attitude of "come out and be punished".

Unfortunately, the little head controlled the big head and instantly said what he had said to the witch in the past - [Punishment]!

"......?" Kikyo was stunned when she heard the shout from inside the house. She patted the head of the child being treated in front of her with an apologetic look, and nodded to the mother holding the child, indicating that she would leave for a while.

Then he walked out of the clinic and took a look outside - he took off the mask, which was particularly precious these days, revealing a truly peerless face.

Qianqiu Jida felt that he was fine again. He was only 35. Isn't it normal to like an 18-year-old?

"Who are you?" Kikyo was confused and a little panicked when she saw the man in front of her wearing a priest's uniform. She had never seen such a high-ranking official in the religious field.

"I am Chiaki Keida, the chief priest of Atsuta Shrine. I am the nephew of the current chief priest and the next chief priest."

Atsuta Shrine is one of the seven great shrines in Japan today, so of course it is quite prestigious.

But no one noticed that a small figure wearing a shrine maiden's costume ran away in a flash.

"Oh, I see." Kikyo suddenly understood and nodded, "Hello, what brings you here today?"

What happened? What's the problem? If you have any questions, go talk to my man!

Originally indifferent to contention, she'd been a bit overly doting, but due to Beidou Xinwei's recent overindulgence, she was truly fearless in this stratified, cannibalistic society. With her innocent nature, she didn't take any malicious intent to heart.

——Who do you think you are?

Chapter 71: The Inevitable End of a Horrible Class Society

"You still have questions for me? - Where's your divine tablet? Who taught you? Who's your Dharma image? Who's your godhead? Your..." In short, a ton of questions came flooding in. I couldn't take it anymore. This topic was getting out of hand! Because I'd been going on like this for decades.

"Are you truly a qualified shrine maiden? You're deceiving the world and swindling people here under the name of a shrine maiden! Forget it! The sins you've deceived are inexcusable! You can go to Atsuta Shrine to atone for your sins! You must pay for your sins at the shrine for ten years before you can..."

The words have not yet fallen.

"I fucked you!" He spoke beautiful Chinese, but was so angry that he just spoke his native language.

Suddenly, a huge kick landed on his back. Qianqiu Jida flew sideways, twisted and turned twice and a half in the air, and finally fell to the ground.

Turning back sharply, the two young priests who attended him didn't dare to move to help. A dark figure rushed over. A closer look revealed it to be about 1.85 meters tall, taller in combat boots. It had come from the adjacent training grounds on horseback. A young miko sat on the horse—still pointing at Chiaki Keida.

Before he finished the action, Beidou Xinwei had already "flown" in from outside the door.

A pool of blood appeared in the courtyard of the clinic. Qianqiu Jida spat out blood, completely unaware of what was happening. Then he saw an extremely strong man as tall as a ghost, wearing the bright armor of a statue, rubbing and rubbing himself vigorously! Like the devil's claws!

Beidou Xinwei always feels that something is strange recently.

Was his reputation too good? How could anyone dare to challenge him? He even sensed some vicious political attacks awaiting him. If he was aiming to conquer the world, he certainly couldn't assault a local religious leader for a woman.

But I am not, I came to Japan to bully others.

"Crack!" After breaking the opponent's hip, the opponent finally let out a roar like a dead pig and woke up again.

The onlookers around were so frightened that they dared not make a sound - they could only watch with their mouths shut, gossiping in their hearts.

"Avi, what are you doing?" Kikyo suddenly wondered if this matter had anything to do with her. It was as if the priest was scolding her.

Of course, this doesn't matter. What does matter is: "Don't kill people in my clinic! This is a place to save people."

"Okay, indeed. I'll trouble Feng and the others to clean up later." Beidou Xinwei nodded, looking at the other party who seemed to be slightly incontinent with disdain. He asked Qianqiu Jida, who had been beaten beyond recognition: "I ask, you answer. If you answer wrong, I will kill you!——"

As expected of a charlatan, his mental quality is good. He immediately nodded repeatedly while crying——

"Name."

"Chi... Chiaki Keita. I'm the chief priest of Atsuta Shrine, the chief priest..."

"Crack!" Beidou Xinwei kicked the other person's calf. After the other person let out a pig-killing howl, Beidou Xinwei continued, "I'm not asking you anything else! - If I ask you, answer. If I don't ask you, shut up! - Come on, tell me who you are."

"…Atsuta, the chief priest of Atsuta Shrine. Nephew of the chief priest Chiaki Tsuguhiro…"

"Yeah." Beidou Xinwei wasn't unreasonable. Arguing over ordinary academic issues was par for the course. He wouldn't bother with a stray dog ​​barking on the street—but coming to cause trouble was another story. Especially since he saw this guy at the door, looking like a jerk, his eyebrows furrowed, and still talking about ten years of atonement.

There is a way to take death.

"What is a big...company?" Beidou Xinwei seemed to not understand the term very well, and turned around to ask Kikyo.

"The Grand Priest is the chief priest of Atsuta Shrine." Kikyo answered this academic question, which she knew.

"Oh." Beidou Xinwei understood and nodded immediately. He looked at Qianqiu Jida, who had been feeling frustrated recently. "Then did Lao Deng ask you to come? - Why did he ask you to come?"

"I heard there's a miko who's very powerful. She asked me to come and punish... punish her. I was wrong. I really shouldn't have said that. Please spare my life. I'm the next Grand Priest, I..."

"Click!"

The wicked feudal lord Beidou Xinwei, just because the other party wanted to take advantage of his woman, just because the other party wanted to rape his woman, actually beat the other party to death, and even crushed the other party's facial bones with a kick while the other party begged for mercy. The huge iron boot banged, and the other party was instantly dead.

Damn feudal lords! — That's how it should be. If a man can't protect a woman, what's the point of being a man?

"Ah!——" Everyone present exclaimed.

"Did you see that?—" Beidou Xinwei pointed at the dead body and said to the other two accompanying priests who were paralyzed in fear: "If you dare to go after Kikyo again at Atsuta Shrine, I will kill one of you! I will destroy the entire shrine!—Go back and tell your chief priest that I will go and ask for an explanation soon! I was the one who killed this man. If you are not satisfied with anything, please feel free to tell me!"

"I dare not... I dare not..." The two priests were almost scared to pee, the only reason they didn't pee was because... one of them was killed.

"Don't leave in such a hurry! Drag the body out! - Clean the ground! Anyone who dares to touch my reverse scale will die!"

The handsome boy kicked the body, which had been kicked beyond recognition, into the air. Then he shot it out of the door.

"Avi...you are so cruel."

Kikyo suddenly realized that she might be a two-faced woman. She always thought about compassion and sympathy, thinking that saving one more person would be a good thing. She also thought that it was okay to earn less, because human life is the most precious thing after all.

But! I was actually so happy after someone died, and this person's death was more or less due to me! - I should have stopped this killing, but I didn't. I should have scolded Beidou Xinwei, the instigator - but I could only speak shyly, stumbling, and even a little embarrassedly in a low voice.

"No, it shouldn't be like this... Although, thank you. I..." Kikyo was wondering if it was possible that she actually had a dark side?

The dark side that kills millions of monsters a day.

"How can a man face others if he can't protect a woman? -- I just risked my life for the beauty I love." Beidou Xinwei said calmly, pretending to be cool.

Platycodon grandiflorum is easier to remember than reading.

At this moment, several foot soldiers rushed over. The Security Commissioner arrived and saw the murder scene! The Security Commissioner was immediately furious. Pointing at the murderer, Beidou Xinwei, he angrily shouted, "Who is so bold? How dare you, Your Highness?!"

"What are you doing?" Beidou Xinwei, the murderer, slapped the helmet of the security magistrate who came over and shouted angrily: "From now on, send me two people to be stationed here permanently! Do you hear me? If anyone else comes to cause trouble, just stab them to death! If anything happens here again, I will beat you to death!"

"Yes!" The Public Security Commissioner was Maeda Toshiie, who quickly bowed to Kikyo and said, "I'm sorry for scaring my sister-in-law! It's my fault, it's my fault! - Someone, get the tools and help me clean the floor!"

Chapter 72: The Benefits of Having a Bad Reputation

The impact of this incident is actually quite bad, of course the bad thing is not the act of killing people in the street itself.

"Qiesha Gomen" is not a joke with you.

The worst thing is to kill someone who should not be killed. Of course, this is just a little difficult to do, not impossible.

A leader like Oda Nobuhime would naturally be very angry when she saw that such a thing had happened to her subordinates without informing her.

"Come on, mobilize the troops! Send one hundred soldiers to follow Avi to Atsuta Shrine!—What the hell, you guys are just telling me now! What if he gets bullied when he goes to Atsuta Shrine alone?" Oda Nobuhime was furious and threw the large rosary in her hand at Maeda Toshiie's head. The girl was adorably furious, the type who was furious but not likely to suffer any serious consequences.

"...My Lord, please calm down." The young man, who had been hit by the large rosary, rubbed his head and had to pick up the rosary and smile. Maeda Toshiie knelt on the ground and offered the weapon that had hit him with both hands. Then he had to explain clearly: "What you should be worried about now is Atsuta Shrine. You know who His Highness Hokuto is better than I do. One person is as powerful as a million soldiers. Even if a million soldiers can't match him, one can easily defeat a hundred. If he gets angry and massacres Atsuta Shrine... who will our Oda family turn to for sacrifices in the future?"

"..." After Oda Nobuhime finished filling it out, she was stunned. After thinking for a second, she nodded vigorously, pursing her lips to show her deep approval: "Yeah, that makes sense! Avi's attacks are ruthless. It seems that under his hands, you will either not be injured or die with just a scratch! If he kills the entire shrine, it seems that it will be really difficult to deal with!... What are you waiting for! Hurry and find Avi! Quick, prepare the horse!"

"My lord, it's probably too late. You know His Highness Avi's horse can only travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night! We really can't catch up with it."

The maximum speed for a horse is 150 kilometers per day, with the maximum speed reaching about 200 kilometers per day. The historically recorded marching speed, 80 kilometers per day, was established by the Mongols—a figure of art by Maeda Toshiie. But what follows is no mere art: "My Lord, His Highness Beidou is chivalrous and righteous—though he can be quite protective. However, he is a man of principle. He told us he would not kill without intent."

Simply put: If you don't show your health bar, I won't be able to kill you. But...

"That means as long as the other party has the intention to kill?..." Oda Nobuhime frowned, feeling that things were going to go wrong! So she asked back

"Then he will surely die." Maeda Toshiie nodded vigorously, confirming Oda Nobuhime's words: "Your Highness taught us: If you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze!"

"How can he be worthy of Bai Juyi!" Oda Nobuhime was so angry that she slapped her thigh and said, "Why don't you chase them quickly! Do I need to tell you how filthy those guys who chant scriptures on weekdays are in fact! They are definitely not good people! They must be dissatisfied with Avi! They must have murderous intentions! Doesn't that mean-"

"Your Highness, Your Highness! — It's too late to chase. Think about it, if His Highness Avi is scary enough, maybe they won't dare to show murderous intent. It should be His Highness Beidou who shows murderous intentions — but if it's too late, let's think about how to deal with it."

"...You know Avi quite well." Oda Nobuhime thought everything through dejectedly, but it seemed that reconciliation was not completely impossible: "Avi...it's true that as long as he has murderous intentions, he is very terrifying. Maybe I can really scare him so that he won't dare to have any bad intentions, which would make things much easier. Well...if something really happens...well..."

Oda Nobuhime thought for a long time, and finally made a decision, judging Kikyo, whose birthday was a few days older than hers: "Public opinion is sufficient, I will let Kikyo be the female chief priest!——"

"It can't be that simple, right? My Lord, regarding Atsuta Port..."

"Give them face! Send troops, send troops! Surround Atsuta Port!"

--------------------------

Beidou Xinwei was relatively calm. Generally speaking, he wasn't the type to go on a rampage if someone bumped his shoulder. He wasn't that confident—more accurately, he had a petty, naive mindset.

Killing people whenever something happens is definitely wrong. We need to think rationally. → Think rationally. I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it! → The thieves are thinking about my platycodon! → I have to kill all the thieves to eliminate the danger!

This is his rational thinking.

So when he rode his horse to Atsuta Shrine, his whole soul was almost sublimated - he couldn't kill an entire family just because of a small matter.

But from the smallest details, you can tell who is going to harm you! He can eat grass today, but he can eat people tomorrow! Don't let him go!

Of course, along the way he still thought about the religious power of Atsuta Shrine.

The issue of the balance between the religious power of Atsuta Shrine and the secular power of Oda Nobuhime.

The question is whether the power of Atsuta Port represented by Atsuta Shrine can be further weakened.

Targeting Atsuta Shrine, can we kill two birds with one stone and weaken both religious power and port power at the same time?

Atsuta Shrine is large—but not as large as it was later rebuilt. The entire area is approximately 25,000 square meters, seemingly the size of three football fields. The courtyard walls are roughly 1.4 meters tall, with dilapidated walls and black tiles... No, not black tiles, just white walls with black edges. It looks a bit old, surrounded by lush ancient trees. The wooden temples within the shrine are also solemn and majestic. The Japanese "flying bird" roof ridges are prominently displayed. In fact, apart from the main temples, most of the courtyard is just a large expanse of open space and overgrown towering trees.

Beidou Xinwei couldn't help but stop for a minute to feel the scenery surrounded by nature and trees, which is the perfect combination of man-made buildings and nature.

If this starts a fire, who can blame me?

You only need to send a hundred soldiers to block a few exits, and then send 10 cavalrymen to move around the courtyard wall to ensure that no one can escape!

"Cough cough!"

【Welcome to use, battlefield command: total war operating system (Lv.05) (300/350)——

Available skills 1, ...】

While riding on his horse, Beidou Xinwei opened the Total War operating system himself, not to fight, of course. He was simply good at using system mods.

"Everyone in the Atsuta Shrine listen up, get out here! Otherwise, I will raze your dilapidated temple to the ground within a quarter of an hour!" Xiang Zhuang danced with his sword, aiming at Pei Gong.

Chapter 73 Hello, I am here to rob you openly, I hope you won’t give me the face and refuse, thank you.

Since they have made up their minds to cause trouble, Beidou Xinwei has decided to make a big scene in this gang's lair!

Of course, Beidou Xinwei roared, using the Total War system's [Loud Shout] skill. This roar could be heard by everyone within a ten-kilometer radius along the battle line. It was merely a system bonus and wouldn't cause a sonic boom. However, this skill, similar to Zhang Yide's shout that broke the Changban Bridge, truly stunned everyone in the temple.

In such a hurry, the old lord thought that many people had come. He ran out of the shrine and saw only one person and one horse outside.

The old priest, Qianqiu Qianqiu Jihong, fled, aided by several attendants. He was only in his fifties, but the similarities between Japanese religious forces and cults were endless. They matched the nationally defined cult model, and they were identical. They engaged in fraud, sexual exploitation, forced sales, and mental brainwashing. He had many shrine maidens and young priests under his command, and naturally, his health was deteriorating day by day.

"You! Who are you? How dare you... dare..."

The old man standing at the door of the shrine actually wanted to scold a few times, but the old man was farsighted and could see clearly what the person looked like at a glance.

They resembled the deities in shrines, not only in height but also in clothing! That was during the Tang-era period in Japan, when deities and sculptures bore a striking resemblance to those in China. While they had their own unique styles of attire, ancient deities were not to be trifled with, and they still retained a strong Sinic influence.

"...Who are you?" The old man calmed down and looked at the man in this shape, riding a horse in this shape, wearing clothes in this shape - it was hard to tell whether it was a divine manifestation. "I wonder what brings you to my temple?"

Beidou Xinwei spurred his horse forward, arriving before several veteran shamans. The pressure was overwhelming, as if he were about to collide with everyone before him. Beidou Xinwei tightened the reins. The steed roared and reared to attention. In a cacophony of light and shadow, the terrified priests of the Pantheon, paralyzed on the ground, suddenly saw Beidou Xinwei, clad in golden armor that seemed to blot out the sun.
