As mentioned earlier, after the beginning of the Sengoku period, the shrine began to slowly decay due to wars and the displacement of people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It wasn't until the Ouchi clan and the Mori clan showed their reverence for the god Sumiyoshi that they gave some money and renovated it, so that the shrine could be continued.

There is a reason why the Ouchi clan and the Mori clan support the Ichinomiya Sumiyoshi Shrine, as the owner of the shrine at that time and a powerful daimyo, they must have a strong purpose in doing things, such as the Ouchi family, the reason why they will fund the Ichinomiya Sumiyoshi Shrine is because to pray for the smooth progress of their exploration trade with the Ming Kingdom, because the profits from the exploration trade are too important for the Ouchi family, so for this to send some money to the gods, so it is also good to ask for peace.

As for the Mori family, it was because of the rational use of the navy in the Battle of Itsukushima that they were able to rise smoothly, so that they later got the hegemony of the Western Kingdom, and Mori Yuan has always attached great importance to the wealth brought by the navy and water transportation, so it is not surprising that he will defeat Sumiyoshigami.

However, the Ouchi clan and the Mori clan spent on the renovation of the Ichinomiya Sumiyoshi Shrine, in fact, the support was not large, and the money given was not very much, at most it was to maintain a daily turnover of the shrine, so as not to make the shrine completely abandoned, and many repairs that needed money could only be put on hold in the end.

Previously, Ichinomiya Sumiyoshi Shrine had been supplied by the Mori family, but after the first dispute between the Mori family and the Kuroda family, the war between the two families has not stopped, and even if there are no big wars, small frictions often occur, which invisibly increases the need for the Mori family to prepare for war.

In addition, the Maori family was originally financially tight, and the development of internal affairs was not very good, and Iwami Ginzan was swept by the Niko family once, and finally destroyed the whole thing, so in recent years, the Maori family has basically stopped worshiping Sumiyoshi Shrine, and it is normal that Sumiyoshi Shrine has no way to repair it, because the people of the shrine can't even eat.

Because someone from the Kuroda family had already sent a message to the shrine, and a big man from the Kuroda family was going to come to inspect the work, when Kuroda Vocational High School and his party came to the shrine, they saw that the shrine's Omiya Division had already taken all the people in the shrine and waited in front of the main hall, which would later be rated as a national treasure.

In order to protect the safety of Kuroda Vocational High School, there is no one at the shrine to reveal the identity of the Kuroda Vocational High School who came here, after all, he is the most important person in the Kuroda family now, and he is also the future heir of the Kuroda family, no matter how careful he is, it is not too much.

Kuroda Vocational High School just glanced at the people in front of the main hall, in addition to the neatly dressed shrine Omiya Division in the front, there were five people standing behind, this should be everyone in this big shrine! A large shrine in the west was mixed up with only six people, which was really miserable.

Thinking about the Koharu Shrine where Harada Yoshitane, a retainer of the Kuroda family, previously served as the Omiya Division, not only has Kaharu Castle as its protection, but also can mobilize 300 people to guard it, it seems that there is really a big difference between this shrine and the shrine.

"This is the young master of the family, Lord Kuroda, please hurry up and salute." The close attendant Li'an Kuriyama said loudly.

"In Shimozukishi Shrine Omiya Archahara Toshiyuki, I met Kuroda Minbe-sama." Omiya Sima stepped forward and saluted and said.

"I've met Kuroda-sama." Immediately the crowd bowed and saluted.

Because they are facing clergy, these people just bow to Kuroda Vocational High School, and Kuroda Vocational High School is experienced in many battles, and they have seen a lot, so they don't care too much, let them go! A group of people who couldn't even eat, and had to maintain the dignity of their clergy, he didn't know whether to admire them or complain about them.

"I've seen Lord Wasteland.,I've heard of Ichinomiya Sumiyoshi Shrine before I came.,I know that this Sumiyoshi Shrine is one of the historical Western Great Shrines.,Now it's really extraordinary!" Kuroda said with a smile. (Sumiyoshi Shrine looks pretty good!) ）

"It's really the glory of my shrine that Lord Minbu can come to my Ichinomiya Shrine, but Lord Minbu may still know something, after all, this Sumiyoshi Shrine has a history of hundreds of years, but in the last hundred years of wars, there have been frequent wars, and my Sumiyoshi Shrine has long been no longer glorious and pompous, and it is slowly falling into decay with time!" Wasteland said. (Of course Sumiyoshi Shrine is great, but how about spending some money.) ）

"The family has been constantly fighting everywhere over the years, no matter what the starting point is, the result has indeed caused a lot of killings, even if my Kuroda family is for the peace of the world in the end, for the people to be able to avoid the harm of war in the end, but the Kuroda family is guilty of a lot after all!

Therefore, after the rise of the family, for themselves and for all the people in the territory, they have been praying for the blessings of the people in the world through temples and shrines. So, Lord Omiya, I'm here to ask, what is the attitude of Sumiyoshi Shrine towards the family? If Sumiyoshi Shrine is willing to work with the family and work hard for the common people in the world, the family will naturally express something. (Boy, as long as you are obedient, there is no problem with money.) ）

"For more than ten years, the Kuroda family has been constantly fighting for the common people in this world, and even if we are far away in Nagato Country, we have heard and admired it a lot. The Kuroda family can work so hard, it is really an example for the people of the world! I don't live at Yoshijin Shrine, and I also think it is my responsibility to pray for the blessings of the people of the world, as long as the Kuroda family is willing, my Ichinomiya Shrine will definitely work with the Kuroda family for the sake of the common people in the world. (It's over if you say no, you just have to give money, and everything is easy to say.) ）

"Since this is the case, I will represent the common people of the world (stinky and shameless), thank the Lord of the Wasteland first." (Sample counts as your acquaintance)

Kuroda Vocational High School said at this time: "By the way, Lord Wasteland, I heard someone say before I came that the main hall of Sumiyoshi Shrine is a solemn place, we can go in and have a look!" ”

"As it should be, I would like to invite Minbu Kuroda to visit. I live at Yoshijin Shrine, and there are five main halls in front and back, and the five main halls are connected to each other. What we see at the front is the most important one, the first and main hall dedicated to the three gods of Sumiyoshi. Wasteland said.

In front of the main hall, there was a box like a merit box, and Kuroda and everyone stepped forward in turn and threw in a silver judgment.
