Chapter 69: Love
Ask for a signature.
It refers to superstitious people drawing lots in front of the gods and Buddhas to divinate good fortune and evil.
In ancient times, or even now, it is still a kind of divination activity.
Most of them appear at shrines and temples for the New Year, and they are lucky enough to be safe in the new year.
In this regard, the sign of Shouya Shrine is the same.
Jian Ya shook the bamboo tube, listening to the sound of bamboo sticks crackling and colliding, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
At this spring festival, in order to gain popularity, Moriya Shrine opened a temporary branch in a prosperous area in the center of Renli.
It is said to be a branch, but in fact it is just a makeshift dojo - a hut made of sacred trees near Moriya Shrine, and a stone statue where Kanako Yasaka can perform miracles.
However, it is impossible for the gods to show their means through performing arts, just like street entertainers.
That's too cheap.
So, Sanae proposed to collect popularity by asking for lots.
The spring festival in the human world is actually not much different from the New Year's sacrifice activities, and the way of asking for a lot is really down-to-earth.
However, the question then arises as to whether Yasaka Kaminako, who is the god of the mountains and the god of martial arts, has the godhead to ask for a signature......
"Wouldn't it be okay to stuff a few more cards?"
Worthy of being a god of war, he didn't care about the existence of his potential believer (Kenya) at all, and bluntly said his dirty little abacus.
Give me a little bit of the dignity of a god......
Even in serious shrines, it is inevitable that there will be things that are done to cater to tourists.
Sanae also said that as early as this year's New Year, their competitors held such an event and made a small profit.
However, Kenya knew with his toes that with the usual listless appearance of the Hakurei shrine maiden, it was unlikely that he would be able to make any reliable divination activities.
Hakuri Reimu stuffed a large number of big and small auspicious signs into the lottery. Occasionally, there are a few murders, and other additional paid rituals (in fact, just going through the motions) will be used to eliminate disasters and take refuge......
β¦β¦ Later, I heard that a certain immortal couldn't stand it anymore and exposed her tricks, which ended the farce.
Later, the original Hakurei Shrine was generally popular...... Not so much so now.
Hearing this, Jian Ya shook his head, and could only say that Miss Reimu was guilty of her own sins and could not live.
Straight to the point.
At this spring festival, Moriya Shrine also intends to collect popularity by asking for a lot.
With the experience of Hakurei Shrine, they naturally won't do anything strange to the lottery.
After all, compared to the unknown Hakurei Shrine, there is a true god on the side of Shouya Shrine.
β¦β¦ Although in the eyes of Jian Ya, it is not very interesting.
Sanae follows the sign of the outside world and the guidance of Kanako Okami, using the sacred tree rich in spirituality and channeling the gods as a carrier, and then uses the morning dew on Yokai Mountain to study the ink. It took a lot of effort to make each stick.
From this point, Kenya can imagine the fiery scene of the signing of the branch of Shouya Shrine during the spring festival.
As long as you are willing to work hard, you will be rewarded anywhere, and things that are not earned for nothing do not exist anywhere.
The principles in martial arts can also be applied to dealing with people.
Jian Ya is the first guinea pig in this well-made signature campaign.
At first, it was just a temporary proposal from Miss Sanae to let Kenya know about the characteristics of their shrine. But when Kanako Yasaka heard this and applauded the case, Kenya felt a little different atmosphere......
Speaking of which, I didn't take into account the fact that the god of war is often used as the object of divination.
On the battlefield, it is not unheard of to burn incense and worship Buddha in order to seek the right time and place.
The first to hold Kanako-sama, they were just playing, and this mentality of self is not too naΓ―ve?
Kanako's suddenly serious expression aside, even Kurama Tengu, who had just taken advantage of the other party's distraction and secretly changed chess pieces, stopped his movements and aimed at himself who was shaking the lot......
β¦β¦ Is it really that important?
Kenya couldn't help but wonder.
To ask for a signature, you generally have to shake it three times.
Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.
The first step is to say what you want to ask.
The second is to emphasize that you are sincere.
The third time is to check out, the moment of destiny.
Kenya had been thinking quickly, and when he changed his mentality, he had already shaken it to the second time.
He asked again what he wanted to ask, and with all sincerity, he prayed to Heaven.
So, the third time.
With a snap, the wooden stick landed in front of Kenya's futon.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Tsk...... It's good luck to be on the top and down to the bottom. γ
Kanako Yasaka, who was sitting cross-legged next to the corridor of the shrine, held the wooden stick that Kenya shook out and began to untie the lot.
I saw that she closed her right eye, stretched out her left hand, pinched her fingers and muttered something, looking a bit like a fortune teller......
β¦β¦ She's a god.
"Those who get this hexagram will have great luck, and they will be able to get the help of nobles, and they will be profitable and invincible...... Roughly speaking, this is how it works...... So what hexagram are you asking for?"
The hexagram used by Yasaka Kanako is the gossip that is more popular among the people.
The gossip of the gossip tengu is not the same thing, the gossip here is a relatively advanced numerology, and it will even be used in architecture, feng shui, martial arts, etc.
The gods seem to be very fond of this kind of thing, too, and explain it to the Tao.
And the hexagram is one thing, and the result you ask for is another.
But in general, as long as the hexagram is auspicious, the matter you ask for will not be bad. As long as the feng shui practitioner goes to this point and explains.
This kind of thing is more popular in the temple, and the shrine generally solves the problem directly with good luck, auspiciousness, medium, fierceness, and great evil.
It seems that Kanako-sama is really unscrupulous in order to gather popularity......
In order to deepen your belief in the Buddha, the presiding officer of the temple will often give you some guidance on the path of life according to what you are asking for, so that you can be convinced.
In this way, you will soon gather popularity and faith.
Considering Kanako's rich experience and status as a god, this kind of thing is not a fraud.
At least than the kind of divination for money that of Hakurei Shrine...... Much better.
But once you say what you ask for...... Kenya blushed a little.
"Yes...... Karma. γ
"Oh!?"
"Huh!?"
"Aha!!"
"Wow!"
Then, there was a lot of admiration and surprise of unknown significance.
Kanako has seen the world in the end, and with a wave of her hand, she suppressed the scene that was almost lively.
"But you have a sweetheart, boy?"
"There's no ...... in this."
Kenya shook his head, realizing that his words seemed to have ignited the fire of gossip from some people, he explained.
"I don't have any plans to do that right now...... I'm just a little curious about my future object. γ
"Oh...... Such...... That is, you are actually begging yourself when and your significant other...... Meet, right?"
Even Yasaka Kanako, who used to be in a high position, was indispensable for gossip, she raised her eyebrows, and her eyebrows fluttered.
Or rather, it's normal.
This guy Kenya, in their impression, has always been a loyal to the way of the sword, harsh and rigid upright.
Able to make him do this kind of thing, and make fun of it.
For this group of monsters and gods who have lived for a long time, it is really the most wonderful way to adjust.
Of course, it also cooled a little bit of the gossip fire of young girls.
"I'm still Mr. Kenya, and I have a sweetheart. γ
"Even Sanae-sama, you think so...... Do I usually seem so anxious?"
Kenya scratched his cheeks, completely unaware of the terrifying irritation that his words had on their immeasurable group of women.
β¦β¦ The nameless swordsman's sweetheart, no matter how you look at it, it is news that can be a big seller......
Secretly troubled by the rules with the Heavenly Demons, he couldn't write some reports that were too untrue for Jian Ya. I'm worried that I'll write the truth, but I'll be mistaken for a nonsense shooting pill text, and I'm worried about it.
Yasaka Kanako continued to pinch her fingers and think, and only after repeatedly confirming that it was correct, did she speak.
"If that's the case...... Sword boy, your karma should not be far from you. γ
"Well...... is that so?"
"If you interpret it in terms of karma, it should be...... The girl you were destined to have actually been by your side all along, but you didn't realize it yet......
Speaking of this, Yasaka Kanako covered her mouth and looked at her own shrine maiden and the white wolf tengu who were restless over there.
The eyes narrowed like a crescent moon, full of pleasure.
"Who is it?"
