The Watanabe couple bowed down and saluted the people around them, and the man said, "You're polite, the old man said that there is an extremely important matter to discuss, and we naturally have to come no matter how far away we live." ”

The short-haired lady bowed her head in agreement, and Satoko returned the salute to express her gratitude, and said to the others with great respect, "Thank you also from Kyoto and Nara." ”

After everyone returned the salute, the old man said: "This matter we came to discuss this time can be said to be related to the future of the entire Fusang, and it is of great significance. The crowd agreed.

Ying Ying listened very curiously, what was it that was so important that allowed these people to gather in this sparsely populated small village from far away?

Could it have something to do with the jade pendant and the affairs of the Divine Palace? Although it was not good to eavesdrop outside, it was very important, so she decided to listen to it.

I only saw a teenager who was about the same age as himself, sitting in a group of uncles and aunts, which was very out of place.

His face was childish, but he was dressed very old, Yingying saw that his face was full of confusion, and guessed that he might be the same as herself, and didn't quite understand what everyone was talking about.

Lizi could see that the young man did not understand what they were talking about, so he said:

"I think that in order for all of you here to participate in the discussion of this important matter, I would like to briefly explain the beginning and end of this matter. ”

The boy cast a grateful look at Satoko.

Satoko smiled and continued: "In Fuso, there are as many as eight million gods, but the people who believe in gods are even more.

For hundreds of years, our family has served as the patron deity and helped the deity communicate with the people.

For example, our Ito family, who have been guarding the shrine on Mt. Unsakura since the Heian period, are now in their 42nd generation.

And older families, such as the Muto family, who have been guarding Izumo Taisha since the Nara period, and the Kitano family, who are guarding Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto......"

Ying Ying saw that the thin old man narrowed his eyes and nodded, looking extremely proud.

Satoko continued, "Our family is only one with each other, and we are not connected to each other, but we each guard the shrine of the gods within our responsibility.

However, more than 70 years ago, our Yunying Mountain suffered great changes.

Our main god, Sakura, left without warning, and with it, the Cloud Sakura Shrine was also destroyed. ”

Speaking of this, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and Ying Ying could see that she was a little excited in her heart.

"The main god of the Cloud Sakura Shrine, Sakura, is the god who presides over life and love.

Since the destruction of the Cloud Sakura Shrine, all the cherry blossom trees in Fuso have withered, and gradually the birth rate of children has become lower and lower.

This was something we did not anticipate at all.

We have tried many times to rebuild the shrine and held many sacrifices, begging Sakura to return to us.

However, she never returned.

At that time, we found out that a single family was no longer strong enough to protect the Divine Palace.

Later, the shrine guardian families from all over the country saw that the cherry blossom trees had withered significantly, and when they knew something was wrong, they all came to us and asked about the situation. ”

I only heard the thin old man, stroked his white beard, and sighed: "Alas, yes. I was there at that time, and I remember the situation very well.

It stands to reason that the absence of a god in the shrine is a great thing. It is the loss of the people near this shrine.

However, the Cloud Sakura Shrine is different, and the Sakura God dominates the happiness of the people of Fuso.

Therefore, if something happens to the Yunying Shrine, it is an accident in Fuso Country, and our other families can no longer be left alone, and we need everyone to get together, twist into a rope, and face this matter together. ”

The goddess kept her eyes closed on the side, and at this time she also bowed her head slightly, and said, "Hmm." ”

The young man in the seat, apparently hearing this history clearly for the first time, his eyes were full of concern, and he glared and said, "Then H2."
