Chapter 20: Shrine (Added to the Helmsman AS1)
The next day, Sunday, June 16th.
This morning.
"Pack up and wait for us to go." Wang Fusheng suddenly said to the dynasty.
"Where are you going?" Wang Chao wondered.
"Kameoka."
"Kameoka? What are you going to do there? "Wang Dynasty really doesn't understand why his father suddenly wants to go over there, and he still takes himself.
"I'll show you someone." After speaking, Wang Fusheng no longer paid attention to the dynasty, sat on the sofa and began to wait.
Fortunately, this time was not long, and soon, Wang Chao sorted himself out and came to the living room. Seeing this, Wang Fusheng got up, took Wang Chao out of the apartment, went to the parking lot near the apartment to find his car, unlocked it, and sat in the main and passenger cabins with Wang Chao respectively, then started the car and drove towards the north.
Kameoka belongs to Kyoto and is located in the west of Kyoto, next to Kyoto City, and is also connected to the four cities of Nagaoka-kyo City, Oyamazaki Town, Irihata City, and Kyotanabe City and Osaka. The whole journey was less than 20 kilometers, and it only took about an hour to drive to Kameoka.
Then Wang Fusheng called out the car guide and followed the instructions above to a certain destination.
Ten minutes later, the car drove into a very quiet, rustic town, and finally stopped in front of a coffee shop at the end of it.
After that, Wang Fusheng and Wang Chao got out of the car and locked the car respectively, and without stopping, they walked towards the shrine hill not far from the coffee point.
"Are we going to a shrine?" On the way, Wang Chao asked suspiciously.
"Yes." Wang Fusheng nodded.
"Isn't there one near the shrine where we live, so why are you here?" The dynasty was puzzled.
"This one is more spiritual." Wang Fusheng explained.
Wang Chao was stunned: "Who did you listen to?" ”
"I'll ask someone about it. Alright, don't ask, let's go up first. Wang Fusheng replied impatiently. Then he stopped talking and walked up the stairs to the shrine on the mountain.
Seeing this, Wang Chao didn't ask any more questions, and followed Wang Fusheng to the mountain.
The staircase was not long, only more than 100 steps, and it didn't take long to come to an end, and then a simple shrine that looked full of the atmosphere of time was presented to the eyes of the dynasty.
The shrine is not large, unlike those large shrines, with side halls or other houses, only a large main hall exists, in front of which is a spacious ground paved with gray-white rocks, and on the right is planted a thick tree that is more than 100 years old at a glance, and the tree is tied with a knot rope full of Gobi, indicating its identity - the sacred tree.
In front of the stairs is a red torii gate, and on the right side of the torii gate is a prayer board standing on the side, and behind the board and behind the house are large trees, like forests, surrounding the entire shrine, and there is a sense of tranquility in the distance.
Wang Fusheng did not stop, and waited for the dynasty to go straight to the back of the shrine.
Soon, another large house came into the eyes of the dynasty. Even if no one explains, the dynasty understands that this is a house for the shrine to live in.
Wang Fusheng stepped forward, stood still at the door, and shouted loudly, "Excuse me, is Mr. Weifang here?" ”
"Here we go." A moment later, a crisp and beautiful female voice came out of the room.
Following the sound of footsteps, a beautiful girl with black hair and dressed as a witch appeared in front of the Wang family's father and son.
"Hello, you are ......" The girl looked at the Wang family father and son and asked with some doubts.
"Hello, my name is Wang Fusheng, and I was introduced to us by Mr. Kento Kotani." Wang Fusheng said.
"Oh, come in first, I'll help you call me father." The girl replied noncommittally, and turned sideways to open the door to invite the Wang family father and son into the house.
"I'm sorry for you." Wang Fusheng said politely.
The latter nodded, and hurried back into the room, where a stiff middle-aged man dressed in white, with a blue crotch, and black hair combed back into a small short ponytail, appeared in the living room.
"Hello, you are Mr. Wei Fang. In the lower king Fusheng, this is the Inuko Dynasty, I learned about the situation here from Mr. Kento Kotani, and I apologize for taking the liberty of visiting. At the same time, Wang Fusheng, who was not seated, immediately leaned over and saluted the middle-aged man who had just come out, and said in a respectful tone. But he didn't see his usual appearance at all, and he put his posture very bottom.
"Sit down first." But what makes people a little angry is that the man named Wei Fang was born with Wang Fusheng's etiquette, as if he took it for granted, although his tone was not necessarily high, but he was also full of strong words.
In this regard, Wang Fusheng's expression remained unchanged, and he knelt down according to his words.
The same goes for dynasties. Although he was not very happy with this man called Weifang in changing clothes, he also understood that this was not a place for him to mess around, so he had to pouted secretly, and knelt down in the same way as Wang Fusheng and Weifang in clothes.
Then he listened to the change of clothes sitting in the main seat, Wei Fang, said: "I have heard the literati talk about you." Is that him? ”
As she spoke, Wei Fang put her eyes on Wang Chao, her eyes were sharp and bright, as if she had seen him through, which made Wang Chao feel very uncomfortable. But correspondingly, the dynasty also vaguely understood why Wang Fusheng brought him here.
If it's not bad, it's probably because of the 'hell' that time.
"Yes." Wang Fusheng nodded in confirmation.
It was only before his words fell, and a look of surprise appeared on Wei Fang's face.
"Huh?"
"Huh? Mr. Dressing, does he have any problems with the dog? Seeing this, Wang Fusheng said with obvious nervousness in his expression. At the same time, the dynasty's heartbeat and secretly shouted, did you really meet a master?
Wei Fang nodded, and said lightly, "Lingzi did encounter a ghost." ”
"Huh!? Is there something wrong with his body? Wang Fusheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked with a worried expression.
"That's fine, it's just that the breath is a little weak, it's just that it's easier to see hell in the recent period, as long as you take a little rest, you can recover." Wei Fang shook her head slightly and said.
“…… Then, I wonder if Mr. Dressing has any way to make the dog recover as soon as possible, at least not to let him be haunted by ghosts again? Wang Fusheng, who heard Wei Fang's answer, breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.
"You can give him a wedge." That is, the ritual of removing obscurity, exorcism, and exorcism.
"Then trouble Mr. Dresser." Wang Fusheng did not hesitate, bowed his head and bowed.
……
An hour or so later, on the hill behind the shrine, next to a small pool, a dynasty dressed in a long white bathrobe appeared. However, in addition to him, the changing night who is a shrine maiden also appeared here, with several common shrine maiden items in anime at hand, and there was a blank face to prepare.
Obviously, this time the wedge pulling ceremony will be carried out by her.
"Alright, you're ready to go into the water." After a moment, the dressing night looked at the dynasty standing on the side and said.
"Oh." Wang nodded, walked to the edge of the pool, and put his feet in the water.
The water temperature is very cold, not at all like the temperature of the common flowing water in summer, but there is a feeling of pool water in autumn and winter, which makes the dynasty subconsciously shrink his feet. But he didn't care, and continued to put his feet in the pool, and then waded forward, standing in the middle of the pool.
"That's it. After that, remember not to move until I say it's okay to be in place. At this time, the dressing night who had a royal coin tassel in his hand walked directly opposite the dynasty and stood still, looking at the dynasty who only showed his upper body in the waterhole and said.
"Okay." The dynasty answered.
Then the changing night did not say anything more, and began the so-called wedge pulling ceremony.
Anyway, the whole process looks like a big dancer, and the early stage is a lot of jumping - of course, the witch's dancing and movements are obviously more beautiful and artistic, plus the dressing night itself is not inferior to domestic film and television stars, and even has more beauty, so that the whole dance often looks very good-looking.
Then there is the sprinkling of salt - in the Japanese perception, salt has the divine power to ward off evil spirits and remove filth, so salt is one of the indispensable items in important daily ceremonies and Shinto ceremonies.
It's just that the method of changing clothes and nights is a little ruthless, and the salt hurts a little on the face, which makes the dynasty feel a little uncomfortable.
And then there's the blessing. There's nothing to do with this dynasty, just watch.
After that, the dynasty can come out of the water, but it has to be whipped again by changing clothes, and using some kind of wood with green leaves, which means that the filth is gone, and then it can be regarded as the end of the whole pulling ceremony, and you can go back to change clothes.
"Phew, I didn't expect the first intimate contact with the shrine maiden to be like this." Back in the special guest room, Wang Chao, who had changed out of the water-soaked yukata on his body, muttered with a wry smile.
After a while, Wang Chao changed his clothes, walked back to the living room on the path he had come, and saw Wang Fusheng and Wei Fang, who were sitting together drinking tea and chatting.
"Dad, Mr. Dressing." Dynasty shouted.
"Yes, the filth has been removed, and after that, as long as you cultivate for a while, you can fully recover." Wei Fang glanced at the dynasty and said lightly.
"Thank you, Mr. Dressing, for your help." Wang Fusheng hurriedly saluted, then straightened up, took out a big envelope from the arms of his shirt, put it on the tatami mat in front of him, pushed it in front of Weifang with his hand, and said sincerely, "Be careful, not sincere." ”
Wei Fang glanced at the envelope on the ground with a flat look and did not speak. Of course, this is not dissatisfaction, but to take a share and not make yourself look vulgar.
And Wang Fusheng, who also understood this situation, was not surprised, but continued to say respectfully, "I've been bothering for a long time, so I won't disturb Mr. anymore." In the next retirement. ”
Wang Dynasty followed and saluted Wei Fang, and then left the mansion of the Yi family with Wang Fusheng.
"It's a genius." After the two of them left completely, Wei Fang said in a low voice.
