Chapter 177: The Shrine Opened

"Kid dad, are you ready?"

"Daddy, Daddy, hurry up!"

Eiji Fukuyama responded while holding the box and walked quickly to the courtyard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In the info courtyard, his wife Edaori and daughter Kasumi are waiting there.

Xiangcheng was four or five years old, ignorant, and very happy to be able to hang out with her father, pulling her mother's hand and kicking happily.

Edori Fukuyama looks like she is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with an ordinary appearance, but she smiles very gently. Similarly, she has a very supple personality, her husband went out and went back to the house, and she didn't get angry, she just smiled and asked, "Child, dad, what did you take?"

Eiji Fukuyama flipped the box in his hand, approached his wife's ear and said, "The doll that my grandmother gave us when we got married. ”

Koriori was surprised, "Are you going to send it to the shrine?"

Eiji Fukuyama sighed: "I haven't been sleeping well lately, either insomnia or waking up at night, do you think it will be ......" He glanced at the box in his hand and looked at his wife again.

Eori was silent for a moment, she felt that it was probably not the doll doll that was psychic, but that her husband was under too much pressure.

Recently, my husband's factory has been in a state of semi-shutdown, and there have been continuous layoffs, so my husband must be very worried about losing his job......, right?

Thinking of this, she grabbed her husband's arm, and there was a little sadness between her eyebrows, and said, "It is indeed possible...... Let's send it to the shrine, maybe it's really psychic. ”

Eiji Fukuyama took his daughter's little hand and said, "Then let's go, go to the shrine to exorcise evil spirits!"

Koori also lifted his spirits: "Yes, go to the shrine and pay homage, everything will definitely go smoothly in the future!"

When the family of three left the courtyard, they lived in a large residential area not too far from the mountain, and they participated in the "Housing Corporation", which was similar in nature to the town association.

It was Edori who proposed to visit the shrine.,She saw the news of the shrine's opening on the message board of the public group.,And heard some rumors.,Interested in helping her husband relieve pressure.,So she begged her husband to accompany her and her daughter to go once.。

When they left the courtyard gate, they saw the mountain not far away, and Eori was slightly surprised, and Fukuyama Eiji asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Zhiori was not sure, she hesitated and asked, "Boy and father, is the mountain different from yesterday?"

Eiji Fukuyama looked at it carefully and asked, "Where?" He has been very worried about the past few days, and he hasn't looked at the mountain much when he goes out.

"Don't you think the mountains are greener?"

Fukuyama Eiji said with a little amusement: "E-ori-chan, this is spring, the grass can grow three inches in a day, what's so strange......" However, he looked at the faint trees on the mountain, lush and green, and couldn't help but admire: "This shrine is very good at management, it took so much money to transplant trees, and it is really a big shrine like you said!"

Seeing that her husband was also full of interest, Edori was overjoyed and said with a smile, "I heard that this shrine is very valued by the government, and it is very exquisitely built...... We've probably only come across this kind of big shrine once in our lives, so I said we must go and see it!"

They were so close that they didn't need to take a car, and they arrived after a short walk, and as soon as they arrived, they were shocked by the tall torii.

The vermilion torii gate is more than 10 meters high, and you need to lift your neck to see the top, and the pillars are even more incompatible.

Eiji Fukuyama took a closer look at the wood and workmanship of the torii gate, and exclaimed, "Amazing...... Even the value of this torii gate can be built into a small shrine. He turned to Koori again, "Which god is enshrined here?"

He left early and returned late, and he hadn't seen the message board of the public group, but now he saw the torii gate and was very curious.

"Ah, I haven't heard of that...... It's just that the gods here are very powerful and can control the life and death of all things. ”

Fukuyama Eiji searched for a moment on the torii gate, but when he couldn't find any words, he looked at the ends of the two beams above the torii gate, and found that they were straight, so he muttered, "Do you make a man a god? Who will be in charge of the life and death of all things?"

The shrine torii gate can be used to simply distinguish the attributes of the gods, the two horizontal logs at the upper end of the "open" type, if the end is straight, it means that the shrine is dedicated to people or the gods incarnated by people, if the ends are upturned, it means that the gods are naturally incarnated, such as a certain mountain or a certain river.

Eiji Fukuyama and his wife were looking at the tall torii, and Kasumi exclaimed, "Dad, Dad, who are these two sisters?"

Mr. and Mrs. Fukuyama followed their daughter's finger and looked over, only to see a pair of stone sculptures of little girls standing in the shadows under the torii, one on the left with a small puffed face, staring at the people entering the shrine with horizontal eyebrows, as if to distinguish between good and evil believers, and one on the right holding a short knife, as if about to kill evil and eliminate demons!

There are a lot of people entering the shrine, but it's very quiet, and they basically keep solemn, Xiangcheng's call attracted a lot of attention, and Zhiori hurriedly hugged her daughter and whispered: "Cheng-chan, be quiet here, don't make noise, understand?"

Xiangcheng didn't know why, but she still lowered her voice and asked, "Mom, why are there two statues of young ladies here?"

Kondori didn't understand either, and looked at her husband. Eiji Fukuyama looked at the pair of stone sculptures and was puzzled - shouldn't the guardian beast be placed here?

So, he said apologetically to his daughter, "Dad doesn't know, let's go in and ask later." ”

The gods always need to be feared, and he doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

Eiji Fukuyama saluted the torii, and then worried that his daughter would run around, picked up his daughter and stepped into the torii gate and entered the realm of the gods.

Beyond the torii gate is a small square, where a group of shrine maidens are handing things to people with smiles on their faces.

Eiji Fukuyama took a few steps forward, ready to go to the sailor's house, but he felt that his steps were getting lighter and his nose was slightly itchy—he couldn't help but take a deep breath, only to feel a mysterious aura go straight into his heart, and even the boredom in his heart disappeared a lot.

He was very surprised, and looked back at the torii - the difference between this step and the difference is so great?

A white-clothed and red-hakamated shrine maiden quietly walked up to him, smiled at Xiangcheng in his arms, and presented three wooden plaques.

Fukuyama Eiji hesitated to take it, only to see that the wooden plaque was very exquisite, the beast's mouth swallowed wood, the pattern was elegant, the front was engraved with four mysterious characters, and the back was a relief of the mountain.

The wooden plaque seems to be surrounded by a mysterious atmosphere, and the attraction is amazing, and just holding it in your hand makes you want to smell it. Fukuyama Eiji endured it twice, but he couldn't care about the rudeness, he put the wooden sign to his nose, sniffed the breath on the wooden card greedily, and felt a cool breath into his body, and a heartfelt pleasure filled his body.

He sniffed three or four times before he reacted, and hurriedly gave a deep salute, and asked embarrassedly, "It's really rude, may I ask what is?"

This reaction has been seen too many times today, almost everyone, she smiled and bowed slightly, and said, "This is a blessed amulet to commemorate the opening of the shrine." ”

Although Li Ruhai didn't care much about the shrine, but when he was about to open the shrine, he still did his best, cut down a few trees and made a lot of wooden signs, and then soaked them in the glazed lake and took them out to give them away, which is a reward for these people - the tree is not valuable, and the spiritual power will last for three or five days, and he will strengthen a healthy individual, and the above four words are more simple and direct, which is "opening a commemoration".

Is this a gift? Fukuyama Eiji stroked the wooden plaque with his fingertips, the workmanship is fine, the effect is magical, how do you look at this wooden plaque is very precious, so it is given to these ordinary people for free?

Eiji Fukuyama gave the wooden plaque to his wife and daughter, bowed again to express his gratitude, and the shrine maiden smiled and raised the basket in her hand, signaling that she would also distribute it to others, and left directly.

Eiji Fukuyama instructed his wife and daughter to put away the wooden signs, and then looked around, and found that the place surrounded by a group of people in front of him was the sailor's house, and there were roads on both sides of the small square, and the sign showed that one side led to the "Three Whirlpools" and the other side led to the flower garden.

Since you came to the shrine, of course you have to pay homage first, and Eiji Fukuyama took his wife and daughter to line up and cleaned his hands, and went directly to the shrine along the approach.

Walking on the approach, Fukuyama Eiji really had the feeling that this was a god's domain - the further up he walked, the more mysterious the aura became, and the people on the approach seemed to be addicted to this mysterious aura, all bowing their heads and saying nothing, and their expressions were extremely serious, very pilgrimage atmosphere.

Fukuyama Eiji was also more respectful, and when he arrived at the worship hall, he first found a corner and took out the doll and put it down gently, and bowed again - this kind of thing that is considered to be spiritual, ordinary people do not dare to deal with it without authorization, for fear of provoking evil spirits, they are handed over to shrines or temples and burned by the clergy.

He took his wife and daughter to invest in the race money, and earnestly confided in the gods his wish that his work would go smoothly, and promised that he was willing to put in 12 points of effort!

Then, their family of three smoked good luck, which was not bad, two small Ji and one Zhongji. After hanging the fortune on the tree, they went to ask for Ema for their daughter.

Edami hugged her daughter and asked with a smile, "Do you have any wishes?" Write it on it, as long as you are willing to work hard, the gods will bless you to achieve it!"

Kasumi threw herself into her father's arms, holding Ema and shouting, "I hope Dad doesn't frown when he comes home every day, is that okay?!"

Fukuyama Eiji was stunned for a moment, then his nose was sour, and he hugged his daughter and nodded vigorously: "Well, Cheng-chan's willingness will definitely come true." ”

They wrote Ema together, and originally planned to wait until they went to Kaguraden to see it before going down to look for Ema Kake, but today Kaguraden was closed, so they returned to the small square together - although the worship hall was more mysterious, there were many people who came to worship and could not stay for long.

Once you've hung up the ema, it's time to play. Originally, Eiji Fukuyama planned to go back directly to the shrine, but now this mysterious shrine makes him very relaxed physically and mentally, and he is reluctant to leave for a while.

They followed the mountain path to the "Three Whirlpools" on one side.

Two streams flowed merrily into the lake, and in the center of the lake there were three small whirlpools, sometimes converging into one, sometimes dividing into three, which was very surprising.

There were many tourists by the lake, and Xiao Xiangcheng also ran over to look at it for a while, and then ran up a small stream...... Edori was embarrassed to make a loud noise here, so she pulled her husband and chased after her.

Fortunately, Xiangcheng didn't run far, the water quality of the creek was very clear, and the gravel at the bottom of the stream was clearly visible.

Zhiori was startled, and hurriedly trotted a few steps to pick up her daughter, Xiao Xiangcheng also smiled, "Mom, the water is so sweet!"

The water in the wild is not to be drunk indiscriminately, it looks clean, and there may be a lot of parasite eggs. Kori looked at her husband, hoping that he would reprimand her daughter, but she was also drinking a handful of water.

Fukuyama Eiji took a sip, it was cool, there was indeed a hint of sweetness, it felt better than all the mineral water on the market, he was sighing there, noticing his wife's gaze, and smiled: "Kori-chan, this mountain is amazing, even the water is delicious...... Would you like to taste it too?"

Koori frowned, and was about to complain about her husband, but saw her daughter run away again—the daughter pointed to a rise and fall in the mountains, where a large purple and white head was emerging, and shouted, "Daddy, Mommy, look!"
