Lake Pavilion (The typical form of a water pavilion in Chinese gardens is to erect a platform at the water's edge, with part of the platform erected on the shore and part of it reaching into the water. The water-spanning part of the platform is erected on the water surface with beams and columns. The platform is surrounded by a low flat railing near the water, or a gooseneck chair is set up for sitting and resting. The shore part of the platform is built with a rectangular single building (this building sometimes covers the entire platform), and the waterfront side of the building is the main viewing direction, and floor-to-ceiling doors and windows are commonly used, which are open and transparent. You can enjoy the view indoors or on the platform. The roof is generally a beautiful roll shed mountain style. The façade of the building is mostly horizontal lines to harmonize with the view from the horizontal plane. Cool and quiet, one of the two people in the water pavilion taught carefully in a clear voice, and the other listened carefully with all his energy, and both teachers and students were addicted to this pleasant and relaxed teaching. The wind blew through the water and the wind chimes on the beams of the water pavilion began to jingle and jingle the bells, reminding the two people in the water pavilion that their morning class had ended and it was time for their lunch break.

Miko Sakurakami told Natsume to stop studying and told him that it was time for class to end. Natsume's lunch break at noon is not a mansion, and there is a soft collapse of tatami mats behind the screen in this water pavilion for Natsume to rest. You had already brought a rich lunch with a delicate food box made of bamboo, and brought it in from the door of the water pavilion and placed it on a low table beside it. The food box contains a few light and delicate dishes, and the light green cup contains a soup stewed with fish and lotus seeds, which is fresh and delicious. Steamed crab and boiled shrimp are an unbeatable delicacy with just a little soy sauce. Stir-fried asparagus in season can add a little vibrant colour to the lunch with just a little coarse salt to taste. The only difference is that Miko Sakurakami's portion is paired with a pot of sweet rice wine, which has the effect of invigorating blood and warming the stomach, counteracting the coldness of the crab and eliminating the fishy smell in the crab meat to make it more delicious. Natsume's portion is paired with a glass of very low alcohol white wine, which not only makes the crab taste more delicious, but also less prone to food poisoning, and contains a lot of vitamins that can bring out the umami in the crab meat and make it taste better. Although it may have taken some time to send it in a food box, it is still mouth-watering like the freshly cooked one.

The dishes were set on the low table, and Natsume and Miko Sakurakami each sat down at their low table and began to savor their lunch. (Of course, Natsume was fed by someone, and his little paws were not capable of using chopsticks) On the opposite side of the low table was a lake full of eyes, and there was no obstruction at a glance, similar to ordinary lake water, the same gurgling water was also full of life. In the near distance, there are lotus leaves and lotus flowers, in the distance, there is a splash of fish jumping out of the water, and in the distance, there is the Tianhe River rushing down from the Tianbian Mountain. Eating the same delicious food with such a beautiful view, Natsume felt that the fatigue of the morning class was instantly swept away.

Eating and drinking and sleepiness hit, Natsume, who was too drunk to drink, instantly wanted to sleep very much. Walking to the soft collapse cut off by the screen, I found a random place and prepared to sleep, listening to the murmuring sound of the water at the bottom of the water pavilion in my ears, feeling the cool and comfortable lake breeze, it didn't take long for Natsume to enter the dream.

Wake up refreshed and continue with today's lesson. In the afternoon class, it was the god pattern that Natsume had known for a long time, and Miko Sakurakami spread out a scroll, and there was only one god pattern on the scroll. Although he didn't know what it was, Natsume could still feel the rich moisture on the god tattoo.

Sakuragami Miko didn't say anything, but gave Natsume the scroll with the crest written on it to look at it carefully, and then told him to tell him what the crest was like.

Natsume obediently took the scroll (don't ask me, I don't know how he got it), spread it on the small table, and the two front paws involuntarily rested on the scroll, leaning forward to observe the god pattern carefully. Minutes and seconds passed like this, and after half an hour, Natsume, who was dizzy, finally couldn't help but speak, "Aunt Miko, this divine pattern is constantly changing, I can't see it." ”

Seeing that Miko Sakurakami had achieved her goal, she began to explain: "This divine pattern is a component of all things in heaven and earth, and there is no fixed consciousness and form, so it is not something that you can understand just by looking at it, but only if you understand the divine pattern, it means that you have entered the threshold of becoming a god." "Look at it with your heart, understand it with your own feelings, close your eyes and immerse yourself in it, it is you, you are it."

Handed the scroll to Natsume again, Natsume thought for a moment, this time instead of holding his eyes and staring at them, he closed his eyes and slowly felt the divine pattern. When the eyes are closed, the other sensory systems of the human being are more sensitive, and the feeling of water vapor on the god tattoo is becoming more and more obvious, and slowly the body seems to be surrounded by water. The whole person stretches in the water, carefully feeling the all-pervasive water flow, cool and supple and containing all things.

The water slowly moistens Natsume's spiritual power, and Natsume's spirit swims in the water without suffocation, texture, and oppression, and boundless water. After staying in the endless water for a long time, you will feel bored, and your mind will withdraw from the god pattern again.

Natsume said to Miko Sakurakami, "Aunt Miko, I see endless water, and I will not drown or suffocate when I am in the water. But it's just a stagnant water, and there's nothing in it. ”

"This pattern reflects your understanding of water, which is superficial and superficial at your age and experience. As your experience deepens, your understanding of water will be deeper. In the end, when you go straight to the source, when you become a god, most of the youkai stop in front of the god gate and only use it and don't master it. ”

"Then if someone has mastered many, many divine patterns, wouldn't he be very powerful?" Natsume was curious.

"After all, people's energy is limited, and it is good to be able to study one thoroughly in a lifetime. After becoming a god, these god patterns need higher requirements, and after mastering them, they can be used flexibly and change their form and nature at will. Therefore, there are very few people who are so thankless, but those who can master a variety of divine patterns are all powerful high gods. ”

The wind chimes under the beam rang again, "Okay, let's preach here today, let's get out of class." ”
