Volume 1 Chapter 11 Summer Sacrifice

This mask doesn't look anything special, it's very ordinary, and it's painted with some colors.

"Take this, after entering the torii, it's the world of the gods, and the gods have different preferences, so we have to go to the shrine to worship the gods first." Huang put on his mask.

"Gods? Looks pretty good, you know what? Persian cat sauce. Eugen asked Bismarck on the side.

"This,It's also a little novel.,It still looks good.,Is the culture of heavy cherry blossoms? People have already been invited, let's follow the local customs, and it's good to go and see. Bismarck felt that there was nothing, and it was a good choice to expand his horizons.

"The god Inari is a god in charge of a good harvest and hope, and it is said that the favorite is fried tofu sushi, and the tribute must be made by hand, so that the gods-sama will know our sincerity, and there will be events and fireworks displays in the evening, and now we will make some Japanese sweets and sweets." Huang told Eugen about the customs of the cherry, and Luan didn't say anything.

Eugen and the others also know that in the festival of worshipping the gods, arguing brains is very disrespectful to the gods.

In the festival of iron and blood, there is also the custom of sacrificing to the gods, and it is necessary to be harmonious and careful when speaking on that day.

"The festival is different, the sacrifices are not the same, in the summer, it's water cakes, yokan, peony cakes and the like, what you want to do today is peach blossoms and fruits, can you ask the iron-blooded allies to clean the shrine?" Phoenix is ready to start making fruit.

"Yes! What a location! Bismarck asked.

"In the forests of Shannan, remember, you must step through the torii gate with respect, and you can't let your hands do it, and the custom is that the owner of the house goes to worship." Huang chuckled, sounding a little hypocritical.

"Okay, you must be careful, the gods will come out today, and if you find some strange people, you must know to avoid suspicion." Luan handed Eugen the tools and reminded Eugen not to ram the gods.

"Hey! Am I not a girl? Why do you all call me Daddy? Cleveland didn't understand why he called himself that.

Rodney on the side just laughed again and didn't say anything.

"Do you want to dance together? Miss Hood. Wales, with a glass in his hand, walked over to Hood's seat and extended his right hand to invite Hood to dance.

Hood stood up, accepted Wales' invitation, and danced with Wales.

"Be sure to pay attention to the dance steps, don't mess up the dance steps." Queen Elizabeth holds a wine glass in her hand and watches Wales and Hood dance.

"Let's go, it's getting late." Bismarck urged Eugen and Hipper.

The small lanterns on the steps had lit up the stone steps, and Bismarck walked ahead and saw something made of mahogany, much like a frame.

"Looks like this is it, let's get there." Bismarck adjusted the position of his military hat, walked into the torii gate, and saw the shrine in front of him, and there were two stone statues in front of the shrine, and the stone statues looked like foxes.

"Is it a fox? Really, is Inari a fox? Heavy cherry blossoms are really interesting, and there are still quite a lot of foxes. Eugen had a broom in his hand.

"It's good that you know, you don't want to get so close to that red fox lately!" Hipper was a little dissatisfied.

"Don't make any noise, let's go back quickly after we're cleaned. I'll clean up, Eugen, and you get the fried tofu sushi. Bismarck carried a bucket and went to clean the Inari Shrine.

Bismarck was cleaning the Inari Shrine, and Eugen grabbed a handful of dirt and raised it to Hipper.

"Come over to me, don't run! I'm going to teach you a good lesson today, my sister, not in vain. Hipper dusted off his body and ran after Eugen.

"Huh?" Eugen ran into the woods near the shrine and heard the sound of a rattling bell, which was very crisp and kept ringing.

"What are you doing? Is this Jin Ling's voice? It won't be the legendary moonlit rattle carriage? Hipper remembered the legend of Iron Will.

"No, it won't, if you're scared first, don't think about it." Eugen felt that it could not be a ghost carriage. The ghost carriage is an iron-blooded legend that says that at night, the demon king of the dark night will drive the carriage, and there will be an oil lamp and a bell hanging on the carriage, and anyone who hears the bell will eventually be captured and eaten by the demon king.

The bell slowly approached, it was a very crisp ringtone, and it seemed to be the sound of the leaves shaking, Bismarck didn't notice it, in earnest, to sweep the shrine, there was a mist in the night, a team of people slowly walked in the fog, walking very quietly, no footsteps, accompanied by the bell, getting closer and closer, and soon, he walked in front of Eugen and Hipper, the person who walked in front of him, wearing, white, blue, and gold painted kimonos, with a string of bells hanging on his waist, and a few golden ears of wheat, There was also a Jin Ling in his hand, with golden hair and a mask, and several foxes stood quietly at his feet, looking at Eugen motionlessly,

Hipper immediately took Eugen behind him, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Is this sushi with fried tofu? Thanks, I'll take this thing. I am the Inari deity, and I have felt your heart, and the gods will bless you. With that, Inari bent down and picked up a piece of sushi from the box and fed it to a few foxes at his feet. It's still quite brave. "Inari God put the ears of wheat that he hung around his waist in a box of fried tofu sushi, because the gods could not have direct contact with people.

"Eugen! Hipper! You can go back! "Bismarck has finished cleaning.

"Okay." Hipper picked up the box and followed Bismarck back, and when he returned, Huang and Luan had already made the snacks and sacrifices, which had been made, and they looked very exquisite, colorful snacks.

"These are dumplings, and the fruits are all raw, but they are also edible, you have worked hard, you can taste them first. According to the question of your taste, the savory one was made. Phoenix invited Bismarck Eugen and Hippert to have a snack.

After eating, the activity has already begun and the bell has already struck.

"Let's go. Time's up. Can I change my clothes? Today, you have to wear festive costumes to the festival. Huang handed Bismarck a box containing a festive costume of Chong Sakura.

"Sorry, wait a minute." Bismarck took the box and went back to change his clothes.

"Alright, let's go." Huang said, with offerings, invited, Bismarck and Eugen went to the shrine to pray for blessings, on the mountain in the distance, the lights were bright, fireworks were blooming in the air, the street was very lively, Bismarck looked at the scene on the street.

"Today, I want to worship the god Inari, pray for a good harvest, drive away calamities, and if it's the time of the moon, there will also be a moon festival, so let's go." Huang was very careful to hold the box, and with the sound of the bell, many people were walking in the direction of Inari Shrine.

"Please also let everyone," Huang reminded those who gathered in front of the shrine, Phoenix and Lotus put sacrifices in the shrine, lit incense, and the people present were very quiet, all expressing their wishes to the gods, Eugen could see the figure of the Inari God through the smoke, Jin Ling in his shaking hand, with ears of wheat hanging on his body, wearing a monk's robe, and a few foxes lying quietly at his feet

"Are they all foxes?" Eugen saw Luan in front of him, a wicked smile on his face, stretched out his hand and pulled off a handful of hair on Luan's tail, Luan turned his head sharply, and looked at Eugen viciously, Eugen pointed to the shrine, Luan also vaguely saw the inari god in the smoke, and he didn't say anything, the sacrifice was over, according to custom, to write his wishes on the wooden sign, hang in front of the shrine, after the prayer was over, the crowd gradually left the shrine, knowing that the other people had left, Bismarck hung up the sign, It's very simple: I hope you're doing well in the distance.

Eugen didn't know what he was scribbling, he couldn't read it anyway.

"What are you writing about?" Hipper couldn't read the wishing card drawn by Eugen.

"Alright, let's go back." After Bismarck walked out of the torii, he put on his military hat, and when he returned, Luan saw Eugen, his temper rushed to his head, and he reprimanded Eugen loudly: "What are you doing today!" Can you please leave me alone. ”

"Something happened, okay, don't worry about it, if you want to fight, you're talking tomorrow, don't fight today." Huang is pouring wine into the cup, it is plum wine, and soaking plum wine in the heavy cherry blossoms is the tradition of every family.

"When I was worshipping the god Inari, that guy pulled the hair on my tail, but I think I saw the god Inari today. Sure enough, it's a very gentle god-sama. ”

"I'll let you go today." Luan looked at Huang's face and didn't say anything.

Bismarck took off his military cap and carefully placed it on his lap.

"I didn't expect the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck to love military hats and uniforms so deeply." Huang looked at the iron-blooded Iron Cross on Bismarck's uniform, which looked dazzling in the light.

"Thank you very much for the invitation, although it is a holiday time, but now is not the last time to drink, I am very sorry." Bismarck did not move the wine glass, Bismarck did not drink, and Eugen naturally did not move. Half of the time had passed, and Bismarck estimated that it was almost time.

"It's not too early, let's go back first, and after a few days of strategic planning, don't forget." Bismarck put on his military cap, stood up, and knelt for a long time, and Bismarck felt some numbness in his legs and feet.

"Strategic plan? What is that, I've heard before, you lost a duel to the Welsh of the Blue Route Royal, is that your strategic intent? Where exactly is Yorktown? Huang changed his tone and eyes in an instant, and placed his right hand on Luan's chest.

"When you ask me where York City is, you seem to be asking the wrong person! Okay, let's talk about it then. Bismarck went back with Eugen and Hipper.

"Really, I can't stand the painting style of this group of foxes, and my head hurts." Hipper was on the boat, gulping down Iron Will's beer. "It's still our beer." Eugen also opened a can of beer, gulped it down, and threw a can to Bismarck, who looked at the moonlight on the sea and drank the beer in small sips.

Suddenly there was a heavy fog on the sea, which affected the view.

"Stop sailing! Drop the anchor and guard the surroundings. Bismarck immediately gave the order, the fleet stopped and sailed, and a thick fog instantly covered the entire sea.

"Where did the fog come from?" Hipper could only see the faint lights on the ship.

The ball was coming to an end, and it was already late at night, looking at the somewhat bad venue, Belfast was leading the maid group to clean up the mess, and the company was also helping to clean up.

"Now I'll go out and have a look, and I'll patrol the nearby seas, Radiance, war-weariness, Hood, I'll leave it to you when I remember." Wales is going to go out and see.

"Can you do it yourself? Why don't I go with you? Radiance was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Wales, just leave it to me and Hood, you have to be careful, you must be careful and safe." War weariness reminds Wales to be safe.

"This is our royal jewel, it is said to bring luck, you take it, I command you, you must come back well." Queen Elizabeth said in a commanding tone, pulling out the royal coat of arms set with blue diamonds.
