Hanamaru Shrine under construction

Chapter 208

Yu Zaoqian showed a glamorous smile to the old priest, and the old heart of the other party also jumped up, his wrinkled cheeks were tinged with shyness, and he put his toes together in embarrassment , coughed lightly: "Holding, I'm sorry, I'm old and reckless. How could a maiden as beautiful as you be a man?" Speaking of this, he was also very puzzled. He can attack men, but he has never been rough on women, and now he suddenly bites, which is really strange.

Worried that his divine horse would attack the two special guests again, the priest fed it a few beans to calm down, and hurried away with Xianyu and Chiyo. As soon as they turned around, the white horse of the divine horse raised its head He snorted loudly at the back of Yu Zaoqian, full of dislike for the big guy in women's clothing.

The auntie held the fan tightly, but when she met Chiyo's questioning gaze, she still showed a hypocritical and tolerant smile.

Next, the old priest took Xianyu and Chiyo to Mitarai to prepare for the worship. Unlike Iga's spring water, Luoye River is in the Tado Taisha Shrine.After washing their hands, the old priest sent the two of them to the main palace. As god maidens, they did not have to stop at the main hall like ordinary worshipers, but could enter the house to worship the gods.

The main shrine of Tado Taisha Shrine enshrines the main god of worship, Tianjin Hikone Ming (Tianjin Rigen), and the god of worship is the face and life of the sixth generation of gods (the Izanagi brothers and sisters are the seventh generation).

Xianyu and Qiandai stepped forward together, took the jade string presented by the priest, and saluted with the lower end of the jade string in his left hand.After a prostration, the two turned the direction with their right hands, so that the lower end of the jade string was aimed at themselves, and changed to holding the string with both hands, saluting again.After two salutes, he changed to hold the jade string with his right hand, turned it around completely, and presented it to the altar with the handle facing the god.After presenting the jade strings, the two of them backed away together, bowing twice, clapping twice and bowing again to complete all the ceremonies.

The old priest who had rearranged his appearance nodded in satisfaction, and waited for them to back out of the main hall before he stepped forward and said, "Master Qiwei will leave Jiezhai tomorrow, so I will invite the two adults to rest at the back today." He said meaningfully: "There are no gods and ghosts, and no one can enter the Duodu Grand Shrine without the permission of the God Lord. Please rest at ease."

Tianjin Hikone couldn't wait to see the Eight Thunder Gods, and his priests did not shy away from resisting him. Although most human beings remained neutral in the face of disputes between the gods, the people of Tado Taisha were obviously not like this. Now they only respect the God of Duoduo, and their attitude is extremely clear.

This sentence was obviously addressed to Chiyo from Inari Taisha Shrine. She opened her eyes slightly, looked at the old priest, and bowed deeply to him with her lips pursed.

Seeing this, the old priest bowed back with a friendly smile.

Seeing Tado Taisha's clear attitude, Xianyu was a little relieved. When Chiyo and the old priest passed the news, she looked at everything in the palace courtyard curiously.Walking to the right side of the main hall, Xianyu had a vaguely familiar feeling. She looked over curiously, and asked to the place covered by the messy branches: "Is there any gods worshiped here?"

The old priest looked puzzled, and said: "There are only rocks here, and the orders of Shemoshe are elsewhere."

The spotless big shrine was cleaned, but the right side of the most important main hall was covered by fallen leaves and dead branches. Seeing this scene, Xianyu felt unspeakably sad, but before she could think about it, the old priest reminded: "Yu Ji My lord, if there is nothing else, please follow this old man to the back room to rest." He didn't quite understand why the mistress was staring at the rock in a daze.

"Okay..." Not wanting to trouble others, Xianyu hurriedly nodded to catch up with the team, and before leaving, he stopped and looked back.

One side of the courtyard of Tadoshen Hongu is clean and spotless, while the other side is covered with weeds and branches, desolate and lonely.

...

After leaving the main palace, Xianyu and Chiyo followed the old priest and detoured to the houses where the priests lived. Because they wanted to receive nobles, a special courtyard was also built in the mountain behind the shrine, which was just right for the special status of Xianyu and Chiyo.As for Azaomei, who is an ordinary maid, she lives in the compartment on the right side of the two.

Out of sight of strangers, Xianyu stretched comfortably. Seeing that Chiyo was arranging the change of clothes she brought, she asked, "Why, is there something dirty?"

Chiyo smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Xianyu's ear, and said softly: "The place where Tado Taisha provides shrine maidens to clean themselves...is the hot spring."

"Ah!" Xianyu hugged Chiyo in surprise and said, "Let's go together! I can't take a shower these days on the road, and I'm about to grow bugs!" Chiyo knew that she would react like this, and just now she made preparations together , now handed her the clothes, and took the opportunity to tidy up the comb and the sesame oil for bathing.

While the two were talking, the maiden from the shrine brought some snacks, and Xianyu pinched two horse-shaped shortbreads and said, "If I eat snacks now, will it affect dinner?"

Chiyo was startled by what she said, and she explained: "There is no dinner, we already missed the meal time when we came, and the Meishin Taisha Shrine especially cannot break the rules, so... you should use this mat first." She just finished speaking , and saw Xianyu on the opposite side slump.Seeing this, Chiyo couldn't laugh or cry. Thinking about it carefully, the Fusangshin lords in the shrine especially love to take care of young witches. They eat more than three meals a day, and never stop snacks and tea.The most surprising thing is that Lord Fengshen was delighted to hear it.

"Fortunately, Qingguang helped me prepare some snacks." Xianyu took out a few small bags from his arms, struggled for a while before choosing one, and said, "Chiyo, come and eat jerky... um!" He choked back, his face covered in cold sweat.Yes, yes, the priests eat animal meat and do hard labor for 30 days.

Chiyo on the opposite side was also taken aback, but still comforted him: "It's okay, there are only the two of us here, but let's put these away." Because she serves the gentle god, she has even forgotten the basic rules.Not to mention Xianyu, even she who has only stayed for a few days relaxes.

Xianyu nodded with lingering fear. To be on the safe side, he directly used the five ghosts to carry it back to Qingguang.However, Qing Guang in the distance was suddenly headshot by jerky that fell from the sky. He tore up the package of jerky angrily, and ate it very well.

Fortunately, the snacks brought by Xianyu are not only meaty, but also preserved fruits and nuts, together with the snacks from Tado Shrine, they can barely satisfy their hunger.

In ancient nights when there was no entertainment equipment, people generally went to bed early, especially in shrines where there was no nightlife, and no one would move after dark.Xianyu lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, the image of Bengong kept lingering in her mind, and after struggling for a long time, she finally threw off the quilt and sneaked into the shrine.

The Tado Taisha Shrine in the wild is a world of animals, not only surrounded by the sound of frogs, there are even snakes entrenched in front of the steps, Xianyu tremblingly supported the barrier to block the scurrying beetles, draped his coat on his head and flew into the palace Area.She saluted to the Imperial Palace not far away, then turned to the right, and walked into the area covered by cluttered branches and dead leaves.

A strong sense of repulsion prevented Xianyu from moving forward, but a heavier desire made her raise her feet recklessly. The branches in front of her were obviously messy, but Xianyu somehow wanted to go straight forward.She didn't have any time to hesitate, her legs had already led her into the branch, she could only close her eyes in a hurry, and prepared to meet the branch that was about to hit her face, but before that, her nose smelled the fresh air first .Xianyu opened her eyes reflexively, what was in front of her at this moment was no longer a mess of trees and vines, but a quaint shrine.

The suffocating impulse suddenly disappeared, and Xianyu stood where she was, staring at the ancient but tidy shrine in front of her, until the rustling sound of sweeping the floor woke her up.

It was completely dark, only the moonlight illuminated, and the person with his back to Xianyu was holding a broom, slowly and carefully cleaning the land in front of the club.

The sweeper in front of him had no evil spirit, Xianyu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Hi, excuse me." The sweeper's back paused, he straightened up, and turned his head.Only then did Xianyu realize that the sweeper was not as old as she thought, but a young man. He looked back at her, but didn't speak.

Walking a few steps to the front of the shrine, Xianyu glanced at the plaque with his name erased. Although he had already guessed in his heart, he still asked, "Excuse me... who is enshrined here?" After speaking, she couldn't help holding her breath Breathing, as if even the sound of the beating heart was erased, she stared at the young man in front of her, expecting and fearing, waiting for his answer.

"Forging God, the third eye has one life." The sweeper answered calmly, then picked up the broom again and continued to sweep.With his back to Xianyu, he seemed to be talking to himself, saying intermittently: "I haven't come back for hundreds of years... The shrine is so messy, it's hard to see..."

"..."

In fact, she already knew about this matter, but now, when she heard this name being spoken by someone else, she couldn't restrain her sadness.She pinched herself and forcibly calmed down. After all, no one could prove that the disappearing god of forging was Master Yimulian.

but……

Xianyu walked towards the main hall, and reached out to touch the name plate that had been erased from the handwriting. The power overflowing from the imperial treasure in the main hall was so familiar, it clearly belonged to him, belonged to... Master Yimulian.The sweeper stopped at some point, and when Xianyu opened the curtain in front of the club, he suddenly said, "Go back, you can't come here yet."

White light flashed through Xianyu's mind, engulfing the shrine and sweepers in front of him, Xianyu desperately opened his eyes, but what he saw again was only the ceiling of the dormitory.She stared at the pattern on it for a long time, then sat up abruptly, and found that under the quilt, everything just now seemed to be a dream.

...

At this moment, in the God Realm of Iga Kingdom, the wind dragon shrunk and coiled on the shoulder of the god, and asked, "Will the silly fish see God Duodu?"

Yimulian shook his head without any hesitation, and said: "No, the lifespan of the gods is too long, and most of them are sleeping. Especially he...has little nostalgia for the human world, and even the sacrifices are handed over to the spirit division."

That one is a god who loves tranquility. Even though he is the God of the Pillar of Wind, he doesn't have much emotion. He treats everyone very flatly, neither expressing happiness or anger, nor getting into disputes with others.Probably sleeping now.
