467. It is like a pilgrimage to the Holy Land
"Hoo ......"
Jiang Yu stood at the door and exhaled a breath of hot air, watching this breath atomize in the air and then dissipate. His gaze gradually deepened, as if he could see the truth of the operation of the world through the white mist that came out of this mouth.
…… No, I said, what's going on with that description full of middle school flavor? Or are you a saint who beats horses with bamboo canes and shoes?
After perceiving the strange thought that just came to his mind, Jiang Yu pulled the corners of his mouth, paused on the ground, turned around and shouted into the house: "Xiao Bury is still true, isn't it okay?" ”
“…… Wait~Coming soon~"
From the inside of the room, his sister's response was immediately heard, and then Jiang Yu only heard a slightly rapid footsteps, and after about two minutes, two neatly dressed girls stood in front of him.
Jiang Yu took a special look at Zhenbai's legs, and after confirming that the girl did not pull down her socks this time, she turned sideways and gave up her seat.
Walking on the way to school, Jiang Yu casually coped with Xiao Bury's tireless reminder about the trip to Kyoto, while carrying his small suitcase, looking around at the figure hurrying forward in this bustling city.
Inexplicably, he thought of himself in the previous world. At that time, he must have been in such a hurry, and he didn't even have time to observe the behavior or expressions of the people around him, right?
But now, although he is also in a hurry, it doesn't matter that he is still calm.
What could be more comfortable in this world than at an age when everything is full of hope, and engaging in the career that you love or desire the most?
Not to mention, there is such a group of friends who can support each other. This gesture of a group of people working towards the same goal was something he had never experienced before.
As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Jiang Yu's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he kept paying attention to his brother's Xiao Bury, and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong with you, brother?" ”
"No, nothing." Jiang Yu naturally didn't say the shameful thought in his heart just now, but just smiled perfunctorily again.
"Oh......" Although Xiao Bury was puzzled, the girl who was worried about other things in her heart naturally did not continue to ask, but once again brought up the topic that she had said before I don't know how many times, "Brother, you want to take more photos and come back, Xiao Bury has been to Kyoto for so many years~~ Ah!" Also, don't forget to bring back Kyoto's souvenirs~"
"I know, I know...... Jiang Yu replied a little speechlessly, "By the way, do you know that this is the first time you have been talking since you went out?" ”
"Fourth."
Mashiro, who was walking silently on the side, suddenly answered.
"Where, where is it~"
The flaxen-colored long-haired girl pouted a little embarrassedly, turned her head away, and whispered.
Jiang Yu glanced at the nearby station, patted his sister's head gently, and instructed, "Then this morning, Zhenbai will ask you." If you get out of school in the afternoon, Rita will pick you up, so it's no problem. And from tomorrow, Rita will also be in charge of the pick-up and drop-off work of Mashiro, so you have to do a good job today? ”
"I know, I know, I know, I know, ......" Xiao Bury Wenyan showed the same speechless expression as Jiang Yu just now, at this time, Jiang Yu would have a feeling that the slim girl in front of him was really his sister, "Anyway, brother, you are also leaving~ Isn't it about time for you to gather?" ”
Jiang Yu shrugged his shoulders, nodded yes, and walked towards the station.
The two girls watched Jiang Yu's back as they left, and after disappearing into the morning crowd, they turned around and walked in the direction of Shuigao.
……
After successfully taking the JR Yamanote Line to Tokyo Station, Jiang Yu soon found a group of excited teenagers and girls wearing Toyo Zhiqi's school uniform not far from the station.
Because he didn't know many people in the same grade at school, no one came up to talk to him. However, in this regard, Jiang Yu is happy to be idle, and he stays on the periphery of a group of people casually, as if he belongs to that group.
Just as he was waiting for the departure with nothing to do, a hand suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and he subconsciously turned his head to look over, but only saw a piece of air,
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then showed a helpless smile, turned his head to look at the other side, and said directly: "You always play this trick, and you don't like it...... Uh......"
"Don't you like what?"
The flat voice that seemed to be engraved in the depths of his memory made Jiang Yu subconsciously take a step back, scratch his cheek, and respond a little uncomfortably: "Hara, it turned out to be Kato...... In other words, when did you learn to do that? ”
"Hmm......" The girl shook her ponytail on the back of her head, thought for a moment and said, "I think staying in that club and not becoming an otaku is a better point to complain, right?" ”
Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Kato, you...... Now it's called character building, you know? It's just a bit of a weird attribute. ”
"Really?"
Megumi Kato just smiled faintly when she heard this, and then took out her mobile phone and played with herself. Jiang Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, and then couldn't help but shake his head, secretly saying that no matter how the girl's appearance changes, the attribute label of "senior netizen" may not be able to be removed for a lifetime.
Not long after, Lun also came to the station, and after greeting Jiang Yu and Kato Megumi, he also took out his mobile phone and concentrated on operating something.
Jiang Yu glanced at his friend, and knew that the other party should be busy with the live event that he had discussed with him last weekend.
When the assembly time came, under the greeting of the accompanying teacher, the students who had been scattered everywhere gathered together in an instant and lined up in a neat line.
After the roll call is taken by class, it is followed by entry and march.
Anyway, is it time to participate in the sports day? However, when the people around him were extremely excited, this kind of complaining was obviously a bit out of place, so Jiang Yu wisely did not say it.
After that, we have to take a roll call in small groups to confirm the number of people.
It is worth mentioning that Feng Zhiqi, who originally had a rigorous school spirit, showed a huge degree of freedom in this rare study trip. The same class is divided into groups of four, and the boys and girls are separated, and there are no other restrictions.
However, this kind of thing is a rare torture for a person like Jiang Yu who basically has no popularity in the class. Fortunately, although Lunya is an otaku who is deeper than him, he is not as lonely as him in the class. It's better to say that because of his insistence on preaching, the current Lunya, even in the class, has a world that belongs exclusively to the otaku.
Although, that small group is usually cast a contemptuous look at by the current group in the class.
Whenever this happens, Jiang Yu can't help but sigh how real the life of a high school student in the book is.
All in all, after a meeting that wasn't even a twist and turn, Jiang Yu was smoothly pulled into the otaku group in the class, and in addition to Lunya, there was also the person who seemed to be called "Kihiko" and another person he was just familiar with, and he couldn't name it at all.
By the way, in that small team of otaku, due to Lunya's smooth mission, all of them are loyal fans of "Spring Things" and "Baili Tusu".
……
After stepping on the Shinkansen train, the interest of a group of teenagers and girls who seemed to be going out for the first time did not diminish in the slightest. However, Jiang Yu seemed to confirm something in his memory, and took a closer look at the seats on the Shinkansen.
Such behavior, of course, caused Lun Ye's doubts. However, Jiang Yu used a perfunctory but truth-telling "material" to send away his extremely curious friend.
After a bland sub-seating...... Of course, this is just a blandness for Jiang Yu and his party.
Due to the peculiar nature of the Shinkansen seats, there are five seats in each row, and the five seats are divided into three on one side and two on the other side across the aisle. So after encountering this kind of four-person trip, it will seem very embarrassing.
Jiang Yu observed with interest for a while, and in his impression, after a small group that should belong to the "class leadership position" sat down, the rest of the people sat down around it, and the rest of the people sat down around it, and he couldn't help but sigh for the ferry again-
INTERVIEWER How many injuries did you suffer in high school?
The Shinkansen departs from Tokyo and arrives in Kyoto in about two hours.
So, after listening to the interesting experience of the rest of the people, including Lun Ye, whispering in a drowsiness, Jiang Yu secretly decided to erase this experience from the travel log he was going to tell Xiao Burying when he got out of the car.
Stepping off the train, the group walked to the tour bus boarding place in the chill on their skin.
Jiang Yu looked at the scenery around him that seemed familiar, but indeed he had never seen it, and couldn't help but have a special touch in his heart.
The act of contrasting and reflecting the scenery in memory is a special word in the otaku realm called "Pilgrimage to the Holy Land".
Now, he has the feeling that he is on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
Kyoto is a basin with hot summers and cold winters.
This climate is certainly not suitable for living in a place where the whole world is famous for its spring seasons, such as Miami, which is famous all over the world. However, if you think about it from a different angle, the strong difference between the cold and warm seasons brings a different beauty to the four seasons of Kyoto.
In spring, you can enjoy the pale red cherry blossoms that cover the mountains; In summer, you can sit on the bank of the Yachuan River and enjoy the dense greenery; In autumn, you can enjoy the maple leaves that dye the mountains fiery red, although there is less of an independent cold autumn and the situation of the Xiangjiang River going north; In winter, there are snowflakes dancing in the wind and snow-covered mountains.
The season when Feng Zhiqi College chose to go on a study trip coincided with the end of the Maple Leaf Season. Soon, a grain of snow will fall, turning Kyoto into a city of pure white.
After arriving in Kyoto, the first stop for a group of young girls who were still excited was Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
Faced with this kind of itinerary that seems to have its own fixed number in the dark, Jiang Yu can only accept it in addition to smiling bitterly.
So, with a slightly complicated mentality of visiting the holy land, he took the tour bus that was specially used for sightseeing trips in the past few days.
Kiyomizudera Temple, located on the mountainside of Mt. Otowa in eastern Kyoto, was founded in 778 and is the oldest temple in Kyoto, having been burned down and rebuilt several times before being registered as a World Heritage Site in 1994.
Therefore, it is not surprising to say that this is one of Kyoto's landmarks. Therefore, it is natural that the teacher who formulated the itinerary of Fengzhiqi College would put the first stop here. Rather, if you have been to Kyoto but have never been to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, it will be an imperfect trip that will be full of regrets when you think about it in the future.
The station seems to be very close to Kiyomizudera Temple, and after walking through the city for a while, after turning a corner, a ramp appears in front of you.
The car that Jiang Yu and his entourage were riding quickly stopped in the parking lot and joined the tour buses of other tour groups parked here.
Although the most glorious period of the maple red has passed, the Kiyomizudera area is one of the most popular spots in Kyoto, so the number of visitors has barely been affected.
After really stepping on this strange land, Jiang Yu did not feel the slightest discomfort, but was filled with the excitement that was almost overflowing when he went on a spring and autumn outing in elementary school.
This is probably the reason why so many otaku in the last world will definitely visit Japan for a pilgrimage to the Holy Land whenever they have the opportunity, right?
For those who have not actually engaged in such an act that is difficult for outsiders to understand, it is probably difficult to imagine the uneasiness in the heart of a completely unfamiliar city, walking on a street full of immediacy and strangeness, looking for the scenery that was once unconsciously included in the eyes, the joy of finding it, and the excitement and satisfaction of trying to take a photo that recreates the scene in the anime.
Lun also looked at Jiang Yu with a look of nostalgia on his face, and asked a little strangely, "Have you been here before, Ah Yu?" ”
Jiang Yu shook his head, revealing a mysterious smile, pretending to be unfathomable, and said, "Not long after, Lun Ye will also have this feeling." ”
"Huh?"
Len scratched his head too, with a look of complete confusion as to what you were talking about.
Jiang Yu naturally didn't explain too much, and the crowd who had already begun to prepare to set foot on the Sannian Temple to Kiyomizu Temple snorted, signaling that he and the others should also hurry up to follow.
The so-called Sanjuzaka is just an ordinary stone road on the hillside. Just because it is the Shinto of Kiyomizudera Temple, there are a large number of souvenir shops, pottery shops, and restaurants.
However, because of this, even though there are many shops on this road, it still maintains a bit of antique flavor after all, which reminds Jiang Yu of the Suzhou-Hangzhou Trail that he has never been to but yearns for.
Blue bricks and gray tiles, cornices and corners.
A few words can outline a beautiful picture.
If it weren't for the flow of people dressed in modern clothes coming and going on the streets, Jiang Yu really thought that he had strayed into the depths of the forest and seen the ancient customs that should not belong to this era.
