Chapter 364: Festivals and News
Festivals and festivals, in fact, to put it bluntly, are just for everyone to get together for entertainment, and for small traders to have an opportunity and place to make money, but the real sacrifice does not need to be so fanfare.
It is not a god festival, and it is necessary to prepare things and training in advance, and perform live performances.
Therefore, Qin Heqing dealt with it very easily, without any extra nervousness, and even had the leisure to invite Rumina Takamori to visit the festival venue and have a while......
It wasn't until after 8 o'clock that at the invitation of Mr. Tsunoda and other leaders of the shrine's support groups, they went to the nameless river near the festival venue and began the ritual of sending the spirits under the watchful eyes of many people holding soul-sending lanterns.
That is, to send away the souls of those who returned home during the Yu Lan Festival and send them back to the Yellow Spring, so that they do not bring unnecessary trouble and danger to themselves and their families if they are stranded in the world.
The process is not complicated, it is basically Qin Heqing, who is dressed in a god's robe, waving his arm by the river with a royal coin stick, chanting some specious blessings, without making any sound and light effects, and there is no need to summon spirits to appear to the saints.
So it didn't take long for Qin Heqing to complete the steps of the ceremony, step aside, and signal everyone to put on the lights.
Then everyone did not hesitate, walked slowly to the edge of the river, put the soul lamp in their hand into the river, and watched the soul lamp float away along the water until they could not distinguish which one was their own.
This is a fixed custom of the Yu Lan Festival, which can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty in China, but it is not as particular as it is now, although there are also rituals to send souls, but it is only limited to large households, and most of them use lotus lanterns, rather than small boats of different shapes now.
At the beginning, there is no soul attraction instrument, but there is a monk who is responsible for transcendence.
After all, the so-called Yulan Festival is the Dharma of Buddhism, which is made by Buddhism in cooperation with the Zhongyuan Festival for preaching, so if you really want to discuss it in detail, in fact, it is orthodox for the monk to chant the scriptures, and Qin Heqing, a priest, is a little out of turn when he plays.
But who said that this is an island country, and that this festival is organized by the shrine's support group?
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been his turn either.
Then Qin Heqing exchanged a few words with Mr. Tsunoda and other leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, and then said goodbye to a few people on the grounds that there was something wrong and returned to the shrine.
"Take advantage of the time now and contract Julis as well."
Thanks to the blessing of the gods, Qin Heqing's soul impact brought by the contract with Judy was restored, not to mention, but also because of the relationship between the bloodline awakening, the soul power has increased a lot.
It wasn't clear what the benefits of such a change were, but there was no problem in getting him to perform the contract ceremony again.
It just so happens that there is time, so why not do it?
"Then I'll set up the venue." Yue'er didn't persuade when she heard this, nodded and turned around and walked into the temple.
"By the way, for Huang Quan, do you say that I directly refined her for the elixir, or what?" At this time, Qin Heqing, who suddenly remembered something again, called Yue'er, who was about to walk to the front of the temple, and asked.
"If you're not afraid of getting into trouble afterwards, you leave her alone." Yue'er stopped and glanced at Qin Heqing, and said with a faint hint of mockery in her expression.
"How?" Qin Heqing frowned and asked rhetorically.
"Don't forget this character who can attract the attention of the gods, are you sure you will not provoke the gods to leave her and turn her into a Shikigami? Let alone...... With that person's nature, are you sure you can control her? Yue'er turned around and looked at Qin Heqing and said calmly.
Obviously, it was the result of genuinely not being optimistic about Qin and Qing's contract with Huangquan into a god.
"This ......" Qin Heqing thought about it carefully, and he was really not sure!
And Yue'er didn't say that he really almost forgot that Huang Quan's identity is different from Sadako, who is innocent, just an ordinary resentful spirit, rootless and helpless, so even if he is contracted, it will not cause any trouble, at most, there may be trouble in control!
And this was solved by the wine man's action, so the tail of the hand is very small, and it can basically be ignored.
But Huang Quan is different, not to mention her identity as an A-level evil spirit and a big monster, just because she is a chess piece of Huang Quan, Qin Heqing will not be able to keep her.
The reason is also very simple, Qin Heqing's small body can't resist such a big pot!
Especially this cauldron also involves the level of gods, and he doesn't even have the courage to intervene in battles and disputes at that level when he hasn't even understood it in the mortal world.
Therefore, even if he saw the increase in power brought about by the contract with Huangquan, he had to give up and choose to refine her instead.
"I see." Qin Heqing closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself down, and opened his eyes after a moment.
His eyes were clear, and there were no more distractions.
"If only you could understand. It's just a guard, sooner or later we can find the right person, don't worry. Yue'er looked at him, her mouth curled slightly, and she said softly.
"Well, you go and set up the venue." Qin Heqing nodded and changed the topic.
"Yes." Then Yue'er turned around and entered the temple.
"It's a pity......" Qin Heqing sighed lowly.
But he didn't hesitate, and with a thought, he urged the demon refining pot to start refining the mountain Huangquan.
Just like Yue'er said, a suitable candidate for a guardian is just a good candidate, and if you look for it, there is really no need to get into god-level trouble for her, it's really not worth it!
Even if the appearance of Isayama Huangquan is very in line with his aesthetics.
……
Suddenly, a pleasant mobile phone rang suddenly.
Qin Heqing, who was in a daze because of refining the Yellow Spring, was taken aback, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone-
"Mr. Spencer?" Qin Heqing looked at the name of the contact displayed on the phone call and said in surprise. However, he did not hesitate, and immediately pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
"Mr. Spencer?"
"Good evening, Qin Jun, did you bother you?" Mr. Spencer, who was on the other side of the phone, said very politely.
"No, what, is Mr. Spencer looking for me?" Qin Heqing's eyes flashed, so he asked in surprise.
"Don't hide it from Qin Jun, there are indeed some things I want to ask Qin Jun for."
"It's too polite to ask for advice, and if Mr. Spencer has any incomprehension, even if he says, as long as I know it, I must know everything, and I will say everything." Qin Heqing said politely with a smile.
The two of them have their own needs, but they don't dare to rely on their ability to pretend to be big.
"Then I'll thank Qin Jun here first." Spencey laughed.
"Where ......"
The two exchanged two words, and Spencer finally changed his tone and got to the point.
"That's the case, I want to know how much Qin Jun knows about the situation in Tiaobu City."
"Chofu City?" Qin Heqing asked in amazement.
"You don't know?" Spencer asked in even more surprise.
"Know what? After noon, I went back to Shinza City, and I haven't paid any attention to the situation in Tokyo. Qin Heqing explained.
“…… It's okay to say it's a supernatural disaster. It's just that the specific reason is not clear, but from the information I heard, it seems that the people in and around the city seem to have lost contact with the outside world, and they have not recovered even now. But since Qin Jun doesn't know, then forget it, I'll ask the others again. Spencey was silent for a moment, and told what he knew through some channel.
I'm really concerned about the movements of the island nation. Worthy of elite diplomats.
