Just do it, do it well, do it well, do it well, do it first-class, this is the foundation of life I have always had. Everything is only unthinkable, nothing can not be done, and this has always been my code of conduct, so on the night of the first day of the new year, we appeared in Nagasaki Bay, west of the Nagasaki Peninsula.

In order not to be obtrusive, we stopped the boat seven or eight nautical miles from the port of Nagasaki, after all, it must be very sensitive to send the port out of the port at this time, especially considering that something may happen next that is not very pleasant for the locals, so we finally chose to take a small boat and go ashore from a remote beach.

Of course, maybe this is called being a thief, but it does give me more security. In fact, think about it, in this society that has nothing to do with informatization, the so-called traces are more likely to be a delusion in people's hearts.

After I landed, I took the nine ghosts Masataka and a few others along the way, avoiding the fireworks in the world, drilling where the darkness went, and touching the Suwa Taisha Shrine like a ghost in the dark with absolute safety.

Shrines are part of the cultural bloodline, and each place has its own shrine for the people to worship and pray for.

In modern times, most of the sons and daughters of China feel deep hostility and disgust towards the existence of the shrine because of the notorious Yasukuni Shrine, thinking that this thing is a disgusting ghost thing, and they always think of hostility, but in fact it is not necessary.

The shrines of Dongying are actually like temples and Taoist temples in China, and there is nothing right or wrong in itself, but the gods (or people) worshiped by individual schools are taboo for some reason, so they are resisted. On the whole, the shrine should be judged and recognized in the most fair way possible. This is a rational attitude towards different cultures.

Of course, we are principled people, and it is better to blow up the Yasukuni Shrine that enshrines war criminals!

The Suwa Taisha Shrine we are heading to is a shrine with four shrines around Lake Suwa, and is also home to Shinano Province's Ichinomiya shrine, the highest ranking shrine in the area, in other words, a shrine that is eligible to worship the gods. The shrine is one of the oldest shrines in Toei.

Suwa Taisha is divided into upper and lower shrines. The shrine is located on the south side of Lake Suwa and is divided into the former shrine and the main shrine. The lower shrine is divided into the spring palace and the autumn palace, so the Suwa Taisha shrine is composed of two shrines and four palaces.

It is said that the four corners of the shrine hall are lined with wooden pillars with unique shapes, which are called "imperial pillars". Since the completion of the shrine, the Imperial Pillar Festival, which has been held every six years at the Shin and Yin annual meetings, has gradually developed into the Miyakinichi Festival, and is one of the three strange festivals of Toei. The "Kiloku" where the male holds the pillar and slides down the hillside quickly is the most exciting part.

In the Toeiki book "The Secret Manuscript of Liang Chen", it is said that "the god of war in the Kanto region, Kashima, Katori, and Suwa no Miya" is recorded, so the god of Suwa is widely known as the god of military affairs and the guardian prayer god of hunting and fishing.

According to the owner of the Yusheng shop, when they worshipped the puffer fish statue, they all went to the main shrine hall on the south side of Lake Suwa, and although decades have passed, tradition is tradition, and it is estimated that it is not so easy to change.

Nagasaki in the first month, the cold wind is like a knife, the twilight is like ice, I have a cold crystal to protect the body, naturally I don't feel cold, but the nine ghosts and a few others also have excellent equipment as a basis, even the kite, this little girl is full of interest, as if we are not stealing, but going on an outing. Every time I looked at her, there was a smile in her eyes.

This guy is too worried! I thought to myself, and then I turned around and tapped her head with two knuckles, which was completely intimate.

The kite covered her head and Xue Xue screamed in pain, and was about to speak, but pointed in front with her hand and made a silent movement. Naturally, I knew what she was talking about, because I had already noticed that I had entered the realm of the shrine, and on the ramp in front of me, two priests dressed in red diamond robes on a white background were slowly walking down.

The two men looked very old, and they left the shrine in the middle of the night, and eighty percent did the last worship of the day, and wanted to return to their residences to rest. The door of the shrine must be closed, after all, who will come to the shrine to steal things? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the gods?

For me, this thing is believed to be there, and if you don't believe it, it is not possible, it must be impossible to go empty, as for any false things such as the anger and punishment of the gods, let's go back and talk about it!

As the two of them walked over, I waved softly, and a few of them followed me down the long stone steps to the shrine gate. It's not that I'm bold enough to dare to walk through the main gate, but that the terrain on the side is too complicated, and there are patches of thatch and bushes to cover it, and the terrain of the black hole is like a big mouth, which makes people a little daunting.

There are many advantages to walking through the main gate, at least the steps are flat, and the gate is only hung with two half-light wind lanterns hanging on the doorpost, and it is also covered with thick white lantern paper, and the light is extremely weak.

With our skills, sneaking twenty steps in front of the shrine gate and then turning into the side door is really the best choice.

The steps were very fine, not too high, so I took two steps with three feet and arrived at the platform at the end of the steps. Turning my head to look back, I couldn't help but let out a long breath and feel like I was feeling much better.

I can't tell why, all along, I feel as if I have pressed a stone in my heart, and after thinking about it, I think it is because of my promise to my second uncle, coupled with the prophecy of Yunhu's mother-in-law, and the mysterious door, which gave me hope to return to modern times.

For this goal, I have always made myself like a clockwork machine, thinking about the current things as soon as I open my eyes, and everything is based on whether it can be beneficial to my own plan, and I choose my own plan utilitarianly. But then again, am I really right?

Can I go back to modern times, so far it is just an idea, in other words, even if I go back after all the hardships, do I want to give up these people now? These things?

Looking at the eyes of the kite looking at me, it is full of affection, am I going to give up the beauty in front of me for a blood feud decades ago?

Maybe I'm really affected by the environment and slowly changing. This kind of change is not good or bad, but at least, my heart is much calmer and happier. We should still cherish the present moment and cherish the present.

If I had to make a choice now, stay, or go back, I really don't know what I would do. When I go back, what do I have? A blood feud, a grudge. What about when that's over? What else do I have?

I'm afraid that by then, I will be left with the loneliness of the four walls of my home, and I miss these lovely people incomparably!

Of course, I will still do what should be done, and I will still fulfill the promises that should be fulfilled, because that is a sustenance after all, isn't it? It's just that I've changed my mood, I'm no longer so eager, and I don't have the same mentality as before.

Thinking of this, I whispered: "Let's go separately, Zhengxiao, you and Sand go over there; Ink with killing, you look for it from behind. The kite and I entered through the main entrance. Whoever finds it first, gives the signal. Got it? ”

Everyone nodded and went. I didn't look back, gently grabbed the kite's hand, and whispered, "Go!" ”

In the darkness of the night, I could clearly feel the little hand of the kite shake, and then began to tremble slightly. This is the first time I have taken the initiative to hold her hand! Although we have been intimate more than once, it was more out of opposite-sex attraction, or rather, passion. And this kind of clasping hands in calm is the real collision of hearts!

The kite's little hand twisted slightly, and she was held by me into ten fingers interlocked, and she tiptoed to whisper in my ear: "I don't want you to protect me unilaterally, I will always guard you!" ”

Her breath blew into my ears and tickled my ears. Listening to this sentence that was more touching than any love words, staring at the burning eyes of the kite in the dark, I gently pecked her on the lips, smiled and whispered, "Be a thief first!" Professional, okay? ”

The kite wrinkled her little nose and snorted, "Who is unprofessional?" But it was obvious that she was back to her mission, and she looked around energetically.

I smiled slightly, I have to be a lover like this, what more can my husband ask for? At this moment, the regret in my heart that slowly turned into the cherishing of the kite in front of me. I squeezed the kite's hand, tightened it slightly, and then opened it easily, and ran forward with the cat on its waist first. I could feel that the kite was also following me, silently following me.

The place we went to was the main hall. There were still two breaths in the temple door, which seemed to be the priest on duty. Through the door, I peeked through the crack in the door, and looked back and forth three times, but there was nothing else but the gods to be worshipped.

I waved my hand at the kite behind me, signaling that the target was not there. The two of us quietly withdrew to the door, and then went behind the wall.

At that moment, I suddenly heard three fox barks from behind. The voice was vivid, but it could be heard from the rise and fall of the tone, this was the signal of the Nine Ghosts Masako! Looks like he's found the target!

I winked at the kite, and the two of us tacitly agreed one after the other, sneaking towards the place where the Nine Ghosts sent the signal. It is the apse of the main shrine and is shaded by layers of trees. Touching it all the way, I saw a lot of fox sculptures, and it seems that the nine ghosts Masataka chose to learn the fox chirp for consideration.

When I approached the apse, I quietly investigated the surrounding situation, there were a total of four breaths, all of them were familiar, it should be the four people who came together! The two of us quietly touched over, and when they saw us, the nine ghosts pointed inward with his hand, indicating that it was inside.

I approached the wall, touched the low wall against the corner of the wall, and looked in through the shadows, and on the table, there was really a magnified version of the puffer fish statue! It's just that the shape of this statue is ...... It's too stupid and cute, and I chose the puffer fish all the time - that is, the bubble fish with a bulging belly and about to explode!

I barely laughed out loud when I saw this! Looking left and right, there seemed to be no one, so I made a gesture, leaving the kite at the door to watch the wind, and the five of us men crept in.

There was indeed no one in the hall, so I whispered, "Try it, is it heavy?" ”

The statue of this puffer fish is one meter high and one and a half meters long, it looks majestic and majestic, and the nine ghosts and political filial piety hugged it in the past, and it doesn't seem to be too heavy! It turned out to be a wooden sculpture with a layer of gold paint on the outside!

We were immediately happy, several people went up, one grabbed a protruding puffer fish thorn, the other hand held the fat belly of the pufferfish, quietly lifted, the puffer fish idol left the pedestal! Without saying a word, we were ready to go outside.

After a while, a few of us carried the fathead fish out of the shrine and into the darkness of the back mountain. Looking at such a cute statue, the kite suddenly showed little stars in her eyes, and she screamed vigorously and touched it non-stop.

I smiled and was speechless, and the kite touched the puffer fish statue for a while, and suddenly looked up and said, "Sir, you said that this puffer fish statue is suddenly gone, will the people at the shrine report to the official and look around!" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Very likely?" So what to do? "What I have in my heart is the idea of teasing the kite, stealing things and being afraid of people looking for it? What kind of logic is this?

But the kite said, "I think we should leave a letter to ......."

Epistle? Nani?

So the next morning, the priest of the shrine found that the statue of the puffer fish god was missing, and he was shocked! After searching around, he found a letter on the original pedestal of the puffer fish statue.

When the chief priest heard the news, he immediately came, and when Zhanxin watched, he said: "The priests of the shrine heard that I am the god of the river and the god of the pufferfish!" It's been decades since I came to you. Due to the need for his own cultivation, he is now returning to the sea to dive and cultivate! You don't have to look for me, I will come back when the path is complete. Don't read it! ”

Grand Priest: .......
