Chapter 10: The Ceremony

Since he decided to participate in the mountain festival, Yukishin plans to enjoy it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He returned to his lodgings first, grabbed his yukata and bath towels, and then returned to the foot of the Tsuchiya Mountain Range, entered the hot springs, and soaked in the hot springs to relieve his fatigue.

It was already more than an hour after coming out of the hot springs, and the sun began to set, and the dusky glow dyed the streets golden.

On both sides of the street, all the stalls were erected, and the ceremony was not until seven o'clock, but now the stalls were already on sale, and there were more people from other neighborhoods in the streets.

In the biggest celebration of the West Eighth District, how could anyone else not join in the fun.

"Eat something first. ”

Yukishin walked to a ramen stall, which was already selling ramen and had his own small shop.

During the celebration, he put the tables and stalls outside and hung signs to attract customers.

In Soul Street, there are not many people who have spiritual power qualities, just like the indigo dye made Broken Jade, using hundreds of Grim Reapers, and the souls of the residents of Soul Street who have the Grim Reaper.

Therefore, there are many people who have spiritual power qualities, and some of them will not take the initiative to enter the Mao Spiritual Academy, such as Hibanya Winter Shiro, who was found by Matsumoto Ranju.

There are also some who cannot become the god of death, because they are already over a hundred years old when they reach the third level of spiritual pressure.

Although the lifespan of a soul is very long, there is a limit.

Ordinary souls can only live for two hundred to three hundred years, and if they only reach the third rank at the age of one hundred, their talent is limited, and it is almost impossible to cultivate them into the fourth rank through six years.

What's more, the limited life means that the peak combat power time is reduced, and the use is not too great.

Yukishin walked to the ramen stall and asked for a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, sat down, and waited quietly.

"Guest, your ramen. ”

After a while, the ramen shop owner made the ramen and put it in front of Yukishin.

The ramen in front of you is served in a black porcelain bowl, the fragrant soup floats with dark yellow oil flowers, and on the thick noodles, there are large pieces of pork bones, green vegetables, black fungus, and eggs, which are combined with the rising heat, making the mouth water.

Xue Xin couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, first took a sip of the soup, the mellow aroma permeated his mouth, and then he picked up the noodles, put them in his mouth, inhaled them all, and then chewed slowly.

The noodles are firm and textured, and they have a salty meaty aroma that fills the mouth.

"Delicious. ”

Xue Xin immediately picked up the noodles again and ate them in large gulps, occasionally nibbling on the pork bones and eating a bite of the egg, forming a layered taste in his mouth.

Xuexin feasted on it, and after reacting, a bowl of noodles had bottomed out.

"It's delicious, a book of satisfaction. ”

Xue Xin showed a satisfied look, took out the coin and handed it to the boss, and then left the place.

A bowl of tonkotsu ramen can't fill Yukishin's stomach.

After eating the ramen, he moved on, bought tempura, and took a few bites, but his eyes were drawn to the food on the other side.

"What is this?"

Xue Xin ran to the stall, and there were some strange pastries on the stall in front of him, some in the shape of flower petals, some in the shape of round, and some in the shape of small apples, which were exquisitely made and very small.

"This is Washi, this guest officer, I wonder if you want to buy some and taste it?"

The shopkeeper was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a faint smile on her face, looking at Xue Xin and asking.

"Good. ”

Xue Xin nodded, bought five, put them in a paper bag, and couldn't wait to take out one and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm. ”

Yukishin chewed, his eyes slowly widening.

The outside is crispy and makes a clicking sound when chewed, but the inside is puree, with a sweet and soft texture.

Xue Xin finished eating one and picked up another one, this time with jujube paste inside.

Not bad.

When you start eating, you will be attracted by the crispy skin on the outside and amazed by the puree on the inside.

But after eating two, Yukishin put it away, because he saw his favorite octopus balls.

Not only that, but there are also foods such as dorayaki, oden, omelet rice, etc.

There are about thirteen or fourteen food stalls, only three or four, which were originally opened in the West Eighth District, and there are four or five that are temporary food made after seeing the mountain festival ceremony, such as a girl who sells Japanese sweets.

The rest are people from other districts, pushing food trucks here, and some people are even far away.

It's food.

There are also some other stalls, such as shooting, goldfishing, rings, etc., as well as stalls selling puppets, porcelain bowls, flowers, calligraphy, and portraits.

When the residents of the West 8th District go out of their homes, when people from other neighborhoods converge here, the streets become more and more lively.

Xue Xin played for a while, a little excited.

Most of the people, a lot of people come together. Some are friends, some are lovers, and some are family.

But now, it's just me.

Not being able to share their joy.

Xue Xin felt very bored, and suddenly, a group of children ran through the crowd and ran over against Xue Xin's body.

"Give me back. ”

Xue Xin grabbed one of them, pulled him closer, looked at the other party, frowned and asked, "Rock Vulture, why are you here?"

"Ah, it's you. ”

When Shiba Iwatsu saw Yukishin, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he turned his head and said, "I'm just here to participate in the celebration of the mountain festival. ”

"You shouldn't be allowed to come out at this time, right?"

Yukishin looked at Shiba Iwawa and asked, "You sneaked out, right?"

Shiba's family has a very strict access control, not to mention that Shiba Iwashi is still a child now, even a hundred years later, Shiba Iwashi will grow up, and he must go back at nine o'clock.

"Who is this?"

Seeing that the Shiba Rock Eagle was caught, a few children who had just run over ran back again.

"Hey, let go of the vultures. ”

A red-haired teenager shouted.

"Shut up. ”

Shiba Iwatsushi hurriedly scolded, looked at Xue Xin, showed a flattering smile, and said, "Brother Xue Xin, don't tell Sister Sky Crane about this matter, okay?" ”

"Boy, do you know to call my brother now?"

When Xue Xin heard his words, her eyebrows were raised, and her tone was not good.

"I'll call your brother in the future, please don't tell Sister Konghe. Shiba Iwashi said hurriedly.

"I don't care if you call my brother or not. But if you run out without permission, how can I, ah!"

Before Xue Xin could finish his sentence, his foot was stepped on fiercely, and he couldn't help but lift his foot in pain.

At this moment, a little ghost next to him grabbed a handful of sand with a fist and raised it on Xue Xin's face.

"You guys!"

Yukishin raised his hand to block it, and at the same time let go of Shiba Iwatsu.

"Run. ”

Another imp pulled the Shiba Rock Eagle and ran out, and these imps instantly squeezed into the crowd and disappeared without a trace.

"These bastard boys. ”

Xue Xin patted the sand on his body, looked at the direction they left, and had no idea of chasing, but sighed, "Are they all walking together?"

As the number of people grew, Xue Xin was soon drowned in the crowd, he was only sixteen years old, it was the two years of the fastest growth, standing in the crowd, surrounded by crowds, blocking the view.

Xue Xin suddenly felt a little lonely, in the midst of prosperity, but he was only alone.

It's a terrible feeling to not be able to share joy and joy.

Friends are at work, bringing happiness to others, while enjoying happiness themselves.

This made Xue Xin very uncomfortable.

So Xuexin quickly rushed out of the crowd, bought a few portions of food, ran wildly, stepped onto the mountain road, and ran upward.

Coming to the top of the Tsuchiya Mountain Range, Yukishin's breathing was a little rapid, and he held his knees with his hands and exhaled heavily.

"Xuexin, I didn't let you stay down, why are you here?"

Standing at the top of the mountain, Shiba Sky Crane looked at Yukishin and asked curiously.

"Send some food to Sister Kuzuru and Senior Yinhiko. ”

Xue Xin smiled and handed the food in his hand to Shiba Konghe, who was slightly stunned, took the food, and asked with a smile, "Just for this to come up and run?"

"It's more than that. ”

Xue Xin showed a bright smile and said, "I'm going to stay here and watch the fireworks." ”

"It's too close here, and it's better to see it than from below. Shiba shook his head.

"But there are no empty crane sisters and Yinhiko below, and I'm very bored by myself. Xue Xin said softly.

"Really?"

Looking at Xue Xin's delicate face, the corners of Shiba Konghe's mouth curled, revealing a smile, rubbing his short hair, and said, "Then it's better to stay here." ”

"And. ”

Xue Xin pointed below and said with a smile: "Sister Konghe, I saw the rock vulture below, and he seems to be here too." ”

"What?"

Shiba Konghe's face immediately became angry, and he roared angrily: "This bastard, he dares to sneak out and go back to beat him." ”

Hearing Shiba Kuzuru's words, Yukishin smiled happily.

Watching the rock vulture get beaten is even more interesting than attending the ceremony.
