Chapter 153: Worship
There are many rules for visiting shrines in Japan, such as those who have wounds on their bodies, who are sad, and women who have a period of time are not allowed to enter the shrine. Because the Shinto religion in Japan believes that these things will invite bad things, or blasphemy.
Next is to enter the door, which requires clean hands and mouths. This diǎn can be done through the water purification pool next to the main entrance of the guò shrine. However, it should be noted that you should not directly fill the water with the small scoop provided at the pool, but you need to hold the water with both hands to the entrance, and the water that has been rinsed should be spit on the outside of the pool, so as not to pollute the clean water in the pool and cause inconvenience to the people behind.
Only then can you enter the shrine to pay your respects.
Usually the main hall and the worship hall are separated, depending on the style of the shrine layout and the size of the shrine, they are either divided into two or directly integrated into one.
For example, the Sumiyoshi Shrine where the dynasty was located at this time, because it was the relationship between the main shrine of the same kind and the official shrine of the same kind of shrine, each god could enjoy the treatment of a separate hall, so in addition to the main hall that enshrined the four gods of the main sacrifice god - the bottom tube male life, the middle barrel male life, the table tube male life, and the breath long foot Himemei, there are also separate halls dedicated to other gods.
There is an offering box in front of the hall, which is used for the people who come to worship 'Bonghyun'.
Following the local customs, the three of them, such as Wang Dynasty, Shimazaki Rika and Tanaka Xue, respectively threw a 500 yuan coin and a few 100 yuan coins in the box.
After the official visit, the dynasty, Shimazaki Rika and Tanaka Yuki silently bowed twice to the god worshiped in the Lord, clapped their hands twice, bowed again, and stepped forward to ring the bell that attracted the attention of the gods, before giving way to the place of worship and went to another part of the temple.
For example, in front of the prayer board.
"Doesn't Ah Chao write?" From the witch who was taking care of her, Rika Shimazaki, who had taken over the wooden board used to write her wishes, looked at the unmoving dynasty beside her and said in surprise.
"Well. I'm used to the other way than this way. Wang Chao waved his hand and said noncommittally.
Rather than this way of obviously pinning his hopes on the so-called gods, the dynasty still prefers Yoko's shop. At least you can see it, and if you are willing to pay enough price, you can achieve it, far more than that.
"Oh." Shimazaki Rika seems to understand the diǎndiǎn head of non-understanding. 无□dǐng□diǎn□小□says,.↘.》os_(); Say anything more, retract his gaze and ponder for a moment, and write his wish on the wooden board with a black oil paint.
"I hope that the final exam will be smooth and I will be able to go to the school of my choice."
"Then again, which university does Rika want to go to?" The dynasty, who took Shimazaki Rika's wish in his eyes, was curious.
"Universities in Tokyo." Rika Shimazaki blushed slightly, but replied without the slightest hesitation.
"......" Wang Chao was silent, and he was speechless for a while.
Although Rika Shimazaki said it very vaguely, where can the true meaning of the dynasty not be heard? She just wants to be with herself, so it doesn't matter what her grades are in the future. As long as you can be selected as a university in Tokyo! This made the dynasty shake in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure.
Not for anything else, just for the safety of Rika Shimazaki.
You know, compared to Osaka, which is a relatively 'quiet' city, Tokyo is a 'hell'! Miasma reactions and small-scale spiritual surges occur almost every day! In addition, there are mew species that are everywhere and far more numerous than the size of Osaka, corpses and monsters that may be hidden in the crowd or in the corners...... The night there is really not very good.
But what can the dynasty say? Sue Sù Shimazaki Rika Tokyo is dangerous, you better stay here in Osaka? This is obviously unlikely.
Unless he's going to make Shimazaki Rika have a bad time at the beginning of the new year.
“…… It seems that the learning and mastery of certain knowledge should be accelerated a little faster......" After a moment, Wang Chao sighed helplessly. Yu secretly decided in his heart.
"Alright, let's go draw lots. Let's take a look at this year's fortune. Tanaka Yuki, who had fastened the prayer board, walked up to the dynasty and Shimazaki Rika and said yes.
"Okay." Dynasty diǎndiǎn head, there is nothing to promise.
Immediately, the three of them did not stop in front of the prayer board, turned around and went to the lottery board not far away, and consciously put 100 yuan coins in the donation box next to them before walking in front of the fortune board. Choose a tag that you think will have good luck written on it.
Of course, this is mainly Shimazaki Rika and Tanaka Yuki, and as for the dynasty, like the prayer board, they don't trust this very much. Even if he is actually following the path of a god stick now......
And so after a while. Rika Shimazaki and Yuki Tanaka, who hesitated for more than ten seconds, each drew their chosen lottery from 'Fortune'.
"Uh...... It turned out to be a tie. Tanaka Xue looked at the mark on the stick in her hand and said in amazement.
The so-called flat sign, which is a white sign, means that it is not auspicious or fierce, no matter what is usual, it will not encounter big luck, nor will it encounter a big disaster, for ordinary people, it is also a very good sign.
"Rika, where's yours?" Then, Tanaka Xue came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Shimazaki Rika's sign and asked.
"It's fierce." Rika Shimazaki said with a gloomy face.
"Uh...... It doesn't matter, isn't there still a sacred tree? Tie it up, and the evil will turn to good fortune. Tanaka Xue's expression froze, and she comforted her.
In this regard, Shimazaki Rika didn't say anything, diǎndiǎn head, walked to the side of the small tree with little finger strips tied on the branches, folded the paper stick in his hand into a slender strip less than a finger wide, and tied it to the high branch of the small tree with his own hands.
According to Japanese custom, it is said that the higher the tie, the better.
"Alright, I'm a little hungry, let's leave." At this time, Tanaka Xue rubbed her stomach with her hand and opened her mouth to say.
However, she didn't say that it was okay, and when she said this, the stomachs of Wang Dynasty and Shimazaki Rika couldn't help but gurgle, and then they glanced at each other, and then left the shrine and walked towards the nearby fast food restaurant.
Next, eat and visit the temple fair......
It wasn't until 9 o'clock in the morning that Wang Chaocai separated from Shimazaki Rika and Tanaka Yuki and went to the university alone, opened the research room with the key to the research room that Kozo Akizuki had assigned to him, and dodged in.
And this diamond disappeared for several hours, until Xiao Wu was more than two days old, and then he left with a gift belt on his face with a hint of joy. Then head straight to the train station and take the nearest Shinkansen to Tokyo.
……
Nearly three hours later, the dynasty arrived in Tokyo.
Then I went to the nearby high-end department store to buy some things, and rushed to the Shiranui Dojo without stopping.
Dozens of minutes later, the dynasty appeared in the dojo where the fire did not know the flow.
"Dance." Wang Chao frowned as he looked at Shiranui Wu who was listlessly lying on the low table in the Japanese room.
"It's you. Why didn't you go home for the New Year? Wu raised his head and glanced lightly at the dynasty who walked in with a big bag and a small bag, and said in a dull tone.
"My dad is gone, and he's back home. It's you, what's going on? So listless? Wang Chao walked to the opposite side of Shiranui Mai, put down the things in his hand, and sat down on the tatami mat with a low body and wondered.
But it didn't come to pass, but it was exchanged for a sad sigh from Shiranui Mai.
"Hey......"
That feeling is like a female ghost who has been abandoned for thousands of years.
"Should it be ......" Wang Chao's mind flashed and he thought of a possibility.
It can't be because of Andy, right? Could it be that the guy didn't come back again? Don't even have a phone call or a gift?
Thinking of this, Wang Chao raised his eyebrows, took a gift bag from the package beside him, and put it on the low table between him and Shiranui Mai.
"Give."
"What?" Shiranui straightened up slightly, looked at the gift bag on the table and asked.
"A New Year's gift and birthday present for you." The dynasty pushed things in front of Shiranui and introduced.
Yes, that's right, Shiranui's birthday and Japanese New Year are the same day, and both are on January 1st of the Gregorian calendar every year! From this, it is clear how hard Andy's failure to call and mail gifts to the door this day is a blow to Shiranui Dance, whose heart is almost hanging on each other.
"Oh?" Ignorant Fire Dance heard this, his spirit was slightly mentioned again, and he took the gift bag in front of him with curiosity on his face.
"Clothes?" Shiranui looked at the usual shirt and jeans in his hand and wondered.
"Don't underestimate them, they're no ordinary clothes." Wang Chao said confidently. Then it didn't matter if he didn't know how to ask, and Wang Dynasty took the initiative to explain.
"Don't you always say that because of the costume, you can't use the ninjutsu of Shiranui in a normal state? They can solve this. Don't look at the ordinary style, just like the ordinary thousand-yuan clothes that can be seen everywhere on the market, but they have been carefully polished by me and used alchemy to create alchemy products by myself. The inside is a combination of Kuinkke silk threads made by my Kuinke technology. So on the surface, it doesn't look special, but their defense, toughness and material strength are completely comparable to the carbon fiber material used in the body of a sports car, which is definitely beyond your imagination. ”
"How about it, would you like to try it on?" Wang Dynasty looked at Ignorant Fire Dance with burning eyes.
"What you said is true?" Shiranui Wu picked up the materials of the clothes in his hand with his hand, and still asked with some suspicion.
"Of course. You know, just to make these two clothes, I spent more than a month, consuming a lot of Kazuko in my hunting area, and if I can't reach the kind of Cheng dù I said, then I can only say that my previous month's efforts have been in vain. Wang Chao spread his hands and said with a look of 'I'm so pitiful'.
"Alright then, I'll give it a try."
After saying that, Shiranui Wu stuffed the clothes in his hand back into the gift bag, got up, and returned to his bedroom with the gift bag.
As for the previous introduction of the dynasty, it was revealed that in order to make clothes, such things as often catching mew seeds, but there was no mention of it.
But think about it, even if the other party looks like a human, as long as they don't change their unique eating habits, people like Shiranui Dance won't really identify with them as humans. (To be continued.) )
