Chapter 288 From Hell
Chapter 288 From Hell
There was silence in the courtyard for a while.
Everyone watched helplessly as a little silver-haired loli who suddenly figured out something ran into the room, and dragged a tribute table out with great effort.
An onmyoji from Tu Yumen's family subconsciously stepped forward to help, and she didn't mind, she obediently let him help carry the table out, and directed very naturally, "Go get some more fresh fruits. "
The onmyojis present responded dumbfoundedly, turned their heads and ran out in a swarm, even though they didn't know what she was going to do, they still obediently brought six or seven plates of fruit.
Ze Tianya had already turned her head and fished out a blank tablet from the main hall, and took a brush to write on it.
Tsuchimikado Motoharu twitched his mouth when he saw this, and finally understood what she was doing.Glancing at the mighty red light in the sky with a strange look, he stepped forward, "Miss, let me help you."
"..."
The layman Zenji Baba who was suddenly squeezed out silently watched the people busy in the yard, set up the altar table and fruit plate, lit the incense candles, and Sawada Yako was holding the god card of the goddess Iyana that she had just written Put it upright in the center of the altar, put your hands together with a "snap", and start praying with your eyes down.
The onmyojis standing around also lowered their heads subconsciously, and the courtyard was filled with a solemn atmosphere for a while.
"..." Bachang Shanzhi didn't look sideways, lowered his voice and asked Yuan Chun who was walking back beside him, "What's the situation?"
"We were negligent just now." Tsuchimikado Motoharu's expression was still a little subtle, "Goddess just made a move."
"so?"
"You can't let the gods work for nothing. As long as the gods work hard, they must offer corresponding sacrifices. This is a rule that has existed since ancient times, and it is also part of the rules."
Zenji Baba tensed up when he heard the last two words in the first half of the sentence, "So what about the 'sacrifice' now?"
Tsuchimikado Motoharu motioned him to look at the fruits on the tribute table.
Baba Shanzhi: "..."
He thought about Tsuchimikado Motoharu's grand gesture of sacrificing the whole of Hakata, and then looked at the fruit plate in front of him, which was very nice but still couldn't be changed. It was just a few plates of ordinary fruits, and felt that Tsuchimikado Motoharu seemed to be teasing him.
"I didn't lie to you, this is the sacrifice. Didn't you see that the eldest lady brought it up with her own hands?"
Bachang Shanzhi: "... can this work?"
This really works.
A soft wind blows in from outside the courtyard wall, and the few cigarettes lit in front of the divine card lead straight to Qingming.Under the nervous eyes of everyone, the fruit plate on the tribute table decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the real god from the underworld had eaten it.
Immediately afterwards, the still red sea of light on the sky seemed to fade away slowly with satisfaction, allowing Gion God to take over the sky of Hakata.
Bachang Shanzhi was speechless, the facts speak louder than words, he just felt that the three views he had just rebuilt were a little bit bad again.
"Actually, the goddess is just looking for a step to go down," Tsuchimikado Motoharu said with a low smile beside him, his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of alarming something, "After all, this has been the rule since ancient times, and the goddess also wants to save face .”
"...Did I remember it wrong? Is the one in the legend so talkative?"
"That depends on whom."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu stretched his waist, looked at the little loli who was still standing in front of the tribute table with her head tilted slightly, as if she was listening to someone, and sighed helplessly.
"Being liked by that goddess so much? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
That's the end of Bodo's business.
It was eight o'clock in the morning when Sawada Ya and others returned to the hotel, just in time for the floats of the Yamakasa Festival to pass by the hotel entrance.Only a few people were lucky enough to see the coming of the Gion God, but it still made the atmosphere of the scene even more exciting. The men who carried the floats and drove up the mountain walked fast as if they didn’t feel tired, and they could hear it from a long distance away. To the chant they yelled.Excited and turbulent crowds huffed through the streets of the city, engulfed in lively and vibrant worldly fireworks.
When the float passed by the hotel, it blocked the road for a long time, so several people stood on the side of the street and watched the excitement.Sawada Ya just yawned while sitting in Tsuchimikado Motoharu's arms, when she felt a gaze fall on her.She looked up in a little confusion, just in time to see the illusory reflection of Gion God falling on the passing float in front of her, and gave her a slight nod, as if to express her gratitude.
Little Loli returned the gift obediently, and watched the float go away.
Following the crowd of floats, she ran past her, and some voices with a local Hakata accent were chatting happily among the crowd.
"I seem to have seen Gion-sama again just now!"
"Haha, I just said that Hongxia stayed for so long this morning, it's a good omen..."
Because she hadn't slept nearly the night before, Sawada Ya fell asleep almost as soon as she got back to the hotel.
She fell asleep the whole day, and when she woke up, it was already six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, close to nightfall.I don't know if it was because she was afraid that she would recover and come to him to settle the score. Tsuchimikado Motoharu left early before she woke up, leaving only one sentence saying that he would come to her again when he had time, which was very in line with this person's usual style.
After waking up, she really thought of the deadly operation before Yuanchun, the little loli Sawada read the note he left with a puffy face, and gave a soft "hum", dropped the note and went out Went to have dinner with the crowd.
The future is long, she is not in a hurry, her memory is good.
She disappeared in the middle of the night the night before and was taken away. The people who stayed in the hotel were naturally very anxious.Of course, the assistants sent by Takashi Ninzuzu to follow them when such a big incident happened, of course they dared not hide it from them. With the idea that the boss would not be able to feel better if they were panicked (no), they called the second young master Ninzuzu in the middle of the night to report to the Tokyo boss. The people around were also woken up.So in the second half of the night, no one dared to sleep, and sat in the hotel in fear, waiting for the news.The unlucky assistant Jun, who is familiar with his boss's style, even spent half the night writing his suicide note, and by the way, he also prayed that the second young master Ninzuzu would be gentle when he threw him into Hakata Port.
Fortunately, after midnight, everyone finally received a call from Tsuchimikado Motoharu to report their safety, and their hearts, which had been hanging for most of the night, finally fell back into their chests.
During the turmoil that night, Sawada Ya didn't sleep, and of course the others couldn't rest either.So she went back to the hotel and fell asleep immediately, and then went back to the room to catch up on sleep.
This caused everyone to sit at the dining table in a state of just waking up and feeling listless.
Xiang Riyue raised the spoon thoughtfully, fed it slowly towards his nose, his eyes were still dull, and he looked at the dead fish head on the dining table, and asked in his mouth, "Yushi, why are we coming to Hakata?" What date is it? Why do I feel like we've been here for half a month?"
"Too many things have happened recently." Yushi Shinozu rubbed his temples, watching calmly as he continued to pass the spoon to his nose, "Today is the first day of the 'Mountain Lifting' event on July [-]th. , We arrived in Bodo three days ago, on the night of the [-]th."
"It's been three days, it's really long enough, shouldn't we go back?"
"Not at all. You came two days later than us. You came to Bodo yesterday morning... But it feels like it's been a long time. If you want to go back, go back."
"Really? Ouch!"
Without being reminded, Xiang Riyueren successfully fed the hot fish soup to his nose, and then woke up with a "squeak".
This slightly miserable cry dragged Sawada Ya Xiaoliu out of the state of sleepwalking, and subconsciously blinked a pair of big eyes that were still suffused with just waking up.
The red-haired boy was covering his nose with one hand and waving the other hand wildly in the air after he finished "Aw". After fluttering for a while, he grabbed the tissue that Ren Zuo calmly handed over. He whimpered a few times like a small animal, and when he raised his head again From the eye sockets to the tip of the nose was red, one side was hot and the other side was crying.
At the side, he witnessed his young master turning his head away silently to the assistant, who would not save the silly child of the Xiangri family, clutching his conscience.
"Yushi..." Xiang Riyue said in a daze.
Ninja Yuuji said calmly, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."
"Oh, but I didn't mean to ask that..."
Xiang Riyue sniffed, and continued to say blankly, "I just suddenly remembered a question, what are we doing here in Hakata?"
Ninja Yuuji froze his hands that were about to push his glasses.
Sawada Lori, who just picked up a fried shrimp while watching and eating seriously, also stayed where she was.
Yeah, what are they doing here?
I don't know if there are too many things popping up in just a few days, and the plot of a season has been completed in a few days.Others, while not fully aware of what happened, experienced no less emotional ups and downs than the front-line Save the World squad.
Before Yuan Chun left, he pushed Sawada Ya's departure in the middle of the night yesterday to the internal affairs of Tuyumen's house, and the others tactfully did not ask more questions. Anyway, Sawada Ya's little girl returned safely, so these things are not important.Assistant Jun happily took back the suicide note he had prepared, and everyone was finally able to sit down and have dinner together with peace of mind.At this time, with the setting sun streaming in from the window pane, the air seemed to be filled with the breath of settled dust.Everyone was bathed in the warm orange sunset, which represented the end of the curtain, and they all had the serene illusion of "things are over, we can go home".
But looking back now, they have experienced the evil spirits of Bodo City, the Book of Ugly Times, the cracks in hell, and the invasion of the Void Group in the past few days.Every single thing can be taken out to make a disaster movie about the destruction of the city, the plot is grand and vast, and the plot is complicated and confusing.And the protagonist of the story: she—Sawada Yako Lolita, together with the hero of this chapter, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, solved all the problems very well, killed the evil spirits of Hakata, took back the Book of Ugly Time, and With the help of Hakata's specially invited Lord Gion and His Highness Iyana, the Goddess of Destiny, the crack in hell was stabilized, and the invasion of the virtual circle was repelled... The whole process is really exciting, and I applaud her at the end!
——However, after applauding, let’s recall again, what did they come to Hakata for in the first place?It seems that they are here to investigate the clues that Xiang Hina was in a coma for no reason?
However, is there anything about Xiang Hinari in all that she experienced in Hakata?No!
It's like walking through an extremely difficult maze, thinking that I have successfully reached the exit, only to find that I just turned around in a big circle and returned to the original point.Ze Tianya was sitting at the dining table holding up her chopsticks, the whole loli was stunned.
