The weather is fine on Wednesday Day.

Around 10 a.m., I arrived in Kyoto from Yokohama.

Midori Sawai first took Li Xuehao to a hotel in Saokyo District to book a room, after all, he may stay in Kyoto for 2-3 days and need to have a temporary residence.

Kyoto University is located in Sakyo Ward, so it is convenient for the two to meet.

After that, Midori Sawai went back to Kyoto University, where she still had to take classes.

Li Xuehao stayed in the hotel, took a shower first, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to go out to visit Shijo Shigekoku, and Sawai Midori had already told him the address of the shrine where Shijo Shigoku was staying.

There are many shrines in Kyoto, among which there are many famous shrines, such as Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Yasaka Shrine, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Landlord Shrine and Heian Shrine, etc., but Jujo Shigekuni did not stay at these shrines, and his temporary residence was only a small and unknown shrine - Inari Shrine.

Literally, Inari Shrine and Fushimi Inari Taisha are dedicated to the same deity, in fact, Fushimi Inari Taisha is the main shrine of all Inari Shrines, that is, the Inari Shrine where Jujo Shigekuni stayed is actually the "sub-shrine" of Fushimi Inari Taisha.

Compared to the main shrine Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, and in the same area, the small Inari Shrine is of course unknown, but this is very much in line with the temper of Jujo Shigoku, he doesn't like to be public, he prefers quiet.

Inari Shrine is dedicated to the gods of Inari, a god of agriculture and commerce in Japanese mythology, and the main shrine is one of the most incense-burning shrines in the Kyoto area, and many pilgrims come here every year.

After about seven or eight stops on the Keihan Main Line, I finally arrived at Inari Shrine, which is located in a remote location.

Compared with the bustle of the Fushimi Inari Shrine of the main shrine, it is not only a remote place, but also very few people, very inconspicuous, if it were not for the detailed address given by Midori Sawai, Li Xuehao would have to find it himself, because even Kyoto locals may not know that there is a Inari Shrine here.

The torii gate of the shrine also looks very dilapidated, no one comes to worship all year round, and the paint is mottled, so it can be seen that there is very little incense on weekdays.

Passing through the torii gate, the path leading to the main hall of the shrine is unusually beautiful, quiet and quiet, surrounded by greenery, giving people a sense of paradise. Seeing this, Li Xuehao somewhat understood why Shijo Chongguo stayed here, which was not only related to his liking of tranquility, but also the environment here could also help him practice.

Coming to the entrance of the shrine, a row of six bodyguards in black suits were in front of him, Li Xuehao didn't expect to meet a group of "laymen" here, just lingering too much about the beauty of the paradise here, but didn't care much about the surrounding situation.

When the six bodyguards saw that there were outsiders, they all looked solemn, but when they saw that it was just a teenager, everyone looked slightly relaxed.

One of the bodyguards, perhaps the leader of these people, stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Young man, there are no outsiders here today, please come back." ”

The implication is as if he is the master here, and it is clear that they are also guests.

Li Xuehao frowned, but he didn't plan to argue with them, Shijo Chongguo was meditating here, he could fully imagine that the employer of these bodyguards, who was also their boss, was very likely to come to visit Shijo Chongguo, after all, this remote Inari Shrine should not have the ability to attract big people who could afford to invite so many bodyguards. Since he is a guest of the Jujo Jukuni, then of course he will not cause trouble to the Jujo Jukuni.

Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to see Shijo Shikoku, just so that he could continue to enjoy the scenery around him, but he didn't answer the bodyguard's question, and turned around and left directly, heading in another direction.

When the leader of the bodyguards saw that he did not come closer, he thought that the boy had heeded his admonition, and returned to his place.

"What's the matter!" Li Xuehao hadn't walked far when a childish voice came from the shrine inside the hand water house.

He was a little curious, because from the voice he could hear, this was not an ordinary person. When I turned around, I saw an eight- or nine-year-old girl walking out of it, wearing a white and red witch costume, with delicate facial features and very cute. Although he may not even be ten years old, he deliberately pretends to be an adult, and his little face is very serious.

"Miss Mikoto. When several bodyguards saw her, they hurriedly saluted respectfully, as if they were very jealous of her identity.

"I just heard a voice, are you yelling at someone? This is a shrine, not a place where you mortals can make noise!" The little witch girl walked up to the front and scolded a few bodyguards, her cute big eyes rolled to catch a glimpse of someone who had already turned around, "Hey, the one in front...... Did you come to the shrine to pray?"

"Yes. Li Xuehao replied with interest, don't look at the young age of the little witch, but she has the power in her body that belongs to the onmyoji, she is obviously a little onmyoji, and it is the first time for Li Xuehao to meet such a young onmyoji.

"Then please follow me. The little witch glared at the bodyguards, as if to blame them for daring to prevent the shrine's pilgrims from entering to pray.

Several bodyguards looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything, they had all seen their boss's respect for an old man in the shrine, and knew that the people in the shrine must not be offended.

Li Xuehao entered the shrine because of the little witch, followed her, watched her walk like a little adult, and didn't know how she developed this bad habit at such a young age.

"By the way, what's your name?" asked the little witch as she walked some distance in front of her, suddenly stopping.

"Koji Manaka. Li Xuehao said his name.

"What!" the little witch screamed violently, turning to look at him incredulously, "You're Koji Manaka?"

"Have you heard of me?" Li Xuehao also moved in his heart, looking at the little witch's shocked expression, she had obviously heard of her name.

"Hmm. Perhaps because she felt that her performance was too uncool, the little witch pretended to be an adult again, looked at him carefully, looked at him from top to bottom, and finally said, "It's nothing special, just a teenager." ”

Teenager? Li Xuehao was powerless to complain, the little witch's tone was very big, she herself was not even a girl, she could only be regarded as a girl, and she actually said that someone else was just a teenager.

"What about you, what's your name?"

"My name is...... Listen, Ria Yoshida, this name will definitely shock the entire Japanese Onmyoji world in the future, hum!" The little witch is very arrogant, or she is very confident in her future achievements, and she is very confident.
