Chapter 172: Fireworks Ceremony (2)

Rushing out of the cabin, I was on deck and fell into a daze. Xiao Hui chased after me and stood beside me with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong?"

I don't say anything. It's not that I ignore him, it's that I don't know what to say.

I had a dream. In my dream, the Suzuki Clan's revered Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox told me in a large block of ice bound in chains that I had a way to get us out of this situation, but I didn't know exactly how to do it - like a fool who had gone mad in his eagerness to get out of danger.

"What's going on?" asked Suzuki, who was following him, "If there's an emergency, I'll notify everyone immediately." ”

"No, I don't. I replied categorically.

The two of them stood on my side, and I could feel their strange gazes, confused and worried.

"Perhaps, we can get out of this situation. ”

The two were silent for a long time, and Suzuki said, "If you mean casting magic to push Asakimaru forward, we have already discussed this, and if you don't reach your destination, the wind mage will be in danger of his life due to the depletion of his magic power. ”

Xiao Hui added: "This is the equatorial windless zone, we are here to cast magic, and the mana will be consumed faster than usual. ”

I glanced at the two of them, and they were already sweating profusely. If Josh was by my side, I would see him desperate to go naked.

"So, Yi Jiahe, since I saw you on the deck just now, why haven't I seen you sweat?"

"It's Youyan. I use the flame to adjust my physical condition so that I don't lose too much energy in the hot environment. ”

Xiao Hui was shocked: "Can your Youyan still do this kind of thing?"

In an instant, it dawned on me. Could it be that the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox is talking about this?

"Xiao Hui, Suzuki Zun, can you leave the deck first?"

"How can this be," Xiao Hui said loudly, "leave you here alone, in case you faint from heat stroke, and then you will ......"

Suzuki interjected: "Yi Jiahe, are you sure you want us to leave you?"

I replied to Suzuki, "Yes." ”

Suzuki thought for a moment and said to Xiao Hui, "Let's get out of here." ”

"Why do you even say that......"

I patted Xiao Hui on the shoulder and smiled at him: "Don't worry." If something happens to me, I'll call out loud. I deliberately emphasized the word "certainly" to reassure Xiao Hui.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Hui turned around worriedly, and didn't forget to explain to me when he turned around: "If you feel uncomfortable, you must contact us immediately." ”

"I will. "In fact, I thought to myself, if I feel uncomfortable, I'm afraid I'll fall to the ground, and there will be no time to call for help.

I don't break it, on the one hand, to make Xiao Hui feel at ease, and on the other hand, to be confident in my strength.

"I'm weak, but I'm not going to throw in the towel. ”

"Yi Jiahe, what are you thinking?"

I smiled at Kaka, "Why don't you call me Jia and brother?"

"Is there a difference?"

Perhaps in the eyes of Sky Fox, the names created by humans are similar.

"So, can you call me Daddy?"

"Dad. ”

I froze, and then I was quite happy and said to him, "Do you really think of me as a father?"

Kaka, who had transformed into a child, looked up at me, blinked his eyes and asked, "Is this a mystery in question?"

"Nothing mysterious. You still call me by my name, Yi Jiahe. ”

"Hmm. Kaka smiled and said, "So, what were you thinking just now?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Josh.

"Nothing. ”

I walked up the steps to the shrine, and my classmates had already arrived.

"The Inari Shrine in Kamiki Village is actually called 'Nine-Tailed Tenhu Venerable Nagamori no Shrine House', and it is a shrine that has been built since the establishment of Kamiki Village. The common world regards the fox as a messenger of the gods, while the Suzuki clan believes that the sky fox is the embodiment of the gods...... "Seeing that no one listened to him tell the origin of the shrine, Haruka Suzuki clenched his fists.

"I want to visit the shrine. ”

Josh stepped over to the cash box and looked up at the knot above in a daze.

"I thought it was special for the New Year's moment. ”

Haruka Suzuki explained to me with great interest, "We don't have to stick to this in Shenki Village. Isn't that what it is like to visit the shrine, no amount of red tape is as important as a sincere prayer? ”

Haruka Suzuki is not a shrine maiden. Suzuki said that the selection of shrine maidens in the Suzuki clan is very strict. When I asked if there was any relationship between the selection of shrine maidens and the difference between the clans. Haruka Suzuki turned his head away, and Suzuki smiled bitterly.

Visiting the Tenhu Shrine gave me a strange feeling. No one cared that the little boy in my arms was not an immature sky fox? I watched Kaka draw a gourd like us, and we clapped our hands a few times and made a silent wish, but when I heard that Kaka's wish was for his mother to return, my smile was instantly buried with sympathy.

What did Kaka's mother, the nine-tailed fox that was supposed to be the object of reverence of the Suzuki clan, go through to be sealed in the Extreme Cold?

Perhaps tourists are like this, they are full of longing for a place before they arrive at it, and when they arrive to see it, they feel that it is the same.

Although we left the shrine, for some reason, I felt at a loss. Only when you are close to the gods can you have the illusion of stepping into the realm of emptiness. However, this is a shrine for magical creatures, not travelers.

We hiked to the Lake of Sorrow, passing by the site where the fireworks festival was held. According to Suzuki, that's just part of the venue.

"After all, the fireworks festival is a big event for our Suzuki family, and it's naturally held in most of the countryside. Suzuki said.

The Lake of Sorrow is different from what I imagined. In short, it's ordinary.

"There is a poignant love story about the Lake of Sorrow. ”

Haruka Suzuki doesn't say it, we know. No, Josh shouldn't have been tricked, otherwise he wouldn't have looked expectant.

"Once upon a time, there was a powerful magician in the Suzuki clan who fell in love with a foreign woman. Although the magician is the leader of the Suzuki clan, his background determines his fate to be bumpy, and he angers the elders of the Suzuki clan even more when he meets a woman regardless of the clan rules.

Not only that, but women outside the clan were also opposed by her family. So, a couple who loved each other were broken up.

"The elders of the two clans punished the two of them severely. What they never expected was that the magician had escaped from the confinement.

"There's no place for two in the wizarding world. That night, they went to the Heavenly Fox Shrine under the noses of the elders, and then came to the Lake of Sorrow.

"Some people shouted to the others, but when everyone arrived, the two were gone.

There was a suicide note left by the lakeside, and the two chose to be martyred.

Later, the Suzuki clan searched for the two to no avail. It was as if they had turned into the messengers of Lord Sky Fox and returned to the arms of Mother Nature. ”

I looked at Haruka Suzuki, who was sad, and said to her without any emotion, "It's the elders of the Suzuki clan, I didn't catch them, and they ran away." ”

"Agreed. "Quite a few people agree with me.

Haruka Suzuki was angry: "The point is not here......"

"Can we go to the lake?" asked Josh.

Haruka Suzuki was stunned, she didn't think that anyone would want to go to the lake of sorrow.

"Let's go at another time," I said, "since it is a lake of sorrow, it should be the unique moment, the time when the sun sets." ”

The third attraction is Sakura Street.

The season is not right, and the cherry blossoms are missing. The girls felt quite lost, and even Yu Jingjing sighed.

"Forget it, let's go back. Suzuki said.

Park Ji-woo asked Suzuki, "Can you call your plant queen to recreate the scene of cherry blossoms blooming in warm spring?"

"It depends on what she means. ”

Suzuki tried to call the Queen of Plants to Sakura Street, but failed.

"How often does this happen?" Park Ji-woo asked, "After all, you are each other's soul contractors, and once you, as a magician, call her as a magical creature, the plant queen has to come, right?"

Suzuki said, "It makes sense, but I have an agreement with Miwako......"

"Since she can't come, I'll come. Haruka Suzuki stepped forward in a dashing manner.

"I remember you were an ice mage, and you don't know wood magicβ€”"

Sensing that Haruka Suzuki's face was wrong, Alex immediately covered Josh's mouth.

Smiling with bad intentions and without malice, Haruka Suzuki spoke: "Since returning to the Suzuki clan, my spirit attachment element has begun to appear. Now I can do simple wood magic. ”

"Low-level wood magic can't recreate the scene of cherry blossoms in full bloom. "The other pot doesn't open which pot, and the silly boy named Hogg wants to open the cage where the beast is imprisoned.

"Here you come, then. ”

"I'm not a wood mage......

Haruka Suzuki snorted coldly: "You can call your soul contractor out." ”

"Don't," Hogg said as he stepped back behind Richard, "calling out Garuda, I don't have the leisure to accompany you on a tour of Shenmu Village today." ”

"Do you want to see the cherry blossoms?" asked Kaka, who was leisurely posing his feet.

"yes. Josh responded.

"That's not easy. ”

Kaka raised his finger and spun around, and the cherry blossom trees along the entire cherry blossom street bloomed one after another. The breeze blows and the cherry blossoms flutter in the wind.

"That's amazing...... Xiao Hui exclaimed, turned to Kaka and said, "I didn't expect that Sky Fox would be able to make cherry blossoms bloom with wood magic." ”

"After all, it's a magical creature of light attributes, so it's right to know wood magic. ”

Everyone looked at Josh for a while, and Park Ji-woo, who sighed, told Josh: "Light-attribute magical creatures may not be able to do wood magicβ€”rather, they can manipulate natural elements, and they actually use light-based elemental magic." Therefore, the light attribute magic creature you see that causes the cherry blossoms to bloom is actually the result of the light magic being activated. ”

"It's Kaka's trick, illusion. ”

The sky fox, who showed his fox tail at some point, didn't seem to be aware of his abnormality. Or rather, that's what it looks like.

Trying my best to cover Kaka's tail, I changed the subject: "Since this is a miracle created by illusion, let's watch it along the road, otherwise we won't see the cherry blossoms in a fleeting moment." ”

"Kaka's illusion is very long-lasting, and the cherry blossoms won't disappear until ten minutes later. "The little one looked up at me.

Since Kaka only said to me, and the voice was not conveyed to everyone, the students walked and enjoyed the scenery as I said.

When I saw the cherry blossoms, I remembered Kojiro. I don't know what he's doing now, I just hope he's safe.

It has been said that when you think of someone for no reason, it means that you like them. I can be sure that this affection is undoubtedly love. It's not the love of classmates, it's like the love of father and son. But it's just my delusion.

A cherry blossom fell on Kaka's head, and another cherry blossom stuck to the tip of Kaka's nose. The cherry blossoms on the head are naturally ignored, no matter how Kaka blows, the cherry blossoms on the tip of the nose just don't fall.

Kaka opened his mouth wide and sneezed violently, turning back into a fox. I couldn't help but laugh at his stupid look.

My mind is always not on the scenery around me. Before you know it, we've walked through Sakura Street.

"Since it's a street, there will be shops selling things. Sakura Street feels a bit unworthy of its name. Ma Chao said.

"Yes," said Suzuki, "the vendors on Sakura Street are actually itinerant sellers, and now that they are all preparing for the fireworks festival, Sakura Street is naturally in a lot of depression." ”

"It's not spring, and it's not going to be much lively. Josh said.

"Waiting can be an act of yearning for beauty. Of course, cherry blossoms don't always bloom, but people from the Suzuki clan will wait for the cherry blossoms to bloom on this cherry blossom street. ”

Along the way, we came to the fourth place, the Harvest Field.

There are actually many fields in the rural area of Shenmu Village, but this harvest field is the only one that stands out from the rest. I heard Suzuki say that the harvest field was once blessed by the gods.

The outer gods he spoke of were not gods like the traveler who brought me into the wizarding world, but magical creatures.

Before the magician became the master of the wizarding world, the people of the wizarding world seemed to regard extremely rare and otherworldly magical creatures as messengers of the gods, and those who drove those magical creatures as gods.

Of course, there seem to be cases where people think of magical creatures as gods, and the same is true of the Suzuki clan.

The above is the result of listening to the explanations of Park Ji-woo, Richard, and Suzuki.

Back to the topic of harvest fields.

What makes the harvest field of Shenmu Village unique is its harvest time.

For example, rice. Usually the rice harvest is mostly in the autumn. Regardless of early rice or late rice, it is always necessary to plant rice without violating the agricultural time, and only after some waiting can you feel the joy of harvest.

It will take a while for the harvest field to be able to harvest rice, but this model is completely different from that of ordinary people.

"It's not difficult to plant rice with magic, the key is the growth of rice. Suzuki looked at the harvest field and said, "Since this land has been gifted by the Friends of the Heavenly Fox, it is possible to make the crops grow without common sense. This process is easy to say, but difficult to say. ”

Everyone is confused.

"Progress. ”

Adam was carefully observing the crops in the harvest field. His voice was so small that only I could hear it.

"There is a game mode in the ordinary human world, that is, to do a certain task, and after completing a certain progress, there will be a reward. Although somewhat irreverent, the operation of the Harvest Field is similar to that one. Suzuki said.

"It doesn't matter what season it is. After sowing seeds in the harvest field, the next thing we have to do is to go to the harvest field and pray. Haruka Suzuki bent down to play in the water.

Suzuki nodded and continued, "Every sincere prayer, every kind sprinkling, and every optimistic word will make the crops in the harvest field grow slowly. Farmers don't need to pay attention to the life and death of crops all the time, as long as they sincerely wish, the crops will ripen. ”

"That's amazing...... Josh sighed heartily.

"I would venture to ask, if everyone came to the harvest with a negative and malicious mentality to pray for the harvest......

Suzuki replied to Park Ji-woo, "Then the crops here will not be ripe, and we will have to raise them on our own in other fields." ”

"It is both counterintuitive and surprising that a field that does not require labor but must do good deeds in order to reap the fruits of the harvest. Interestingly, if our world were all such fields, the population would decline dramatically. ”

My self-talk was noticed by Kaka. As if he hadn't heard clearly and didn't want to ask more, Kaka lowered his head again.

"Zun, I've always had a question," Lord Yu Jingjing, who didn't talk much about this tour, said, "Because I'm a little interested in Tianhu, I've read the information of Shenmu Village in books, and I still know about attractions such as Inari Shrine." I didn't look very closely, so I might have missed something. However, since the Suzuki clan lives in this place called Kamiki Village...... I deliberately looked through the information of Shenmu, but I didn't find anything. ”

Suzuki Zun pondered, turned around, raised his arm and pointed to the deep mountain, and replied: "It is the forbidden land of the Suzuki clan, and among them is the sacred tree that our clan has guarded for generations, so the name of Shenmu Village was established. ”

"Is there a void in the bottom of the Divine Tree that is full of ice?"

Everyone turned to me, including the frowning Suzuki.

"As I said, the back mountain is a forbidden place, and no elders and patriarchs of the Suzuki clan are allowed to enter, so I can't answer your question. However, if you can, Yi Jia and can you tell me how you know that there is space under the Divine Tree?"

"Dreaming. ”

I could feel the skeptical gaze from everyone. Also, if you tell someone that you know in a dream that their new neighbor has bad intentions, how many will believe it.

"It's about time, let's go back to Kojiro's house. ”

Everyone went forward, and I stayed at the end with Kaka.

"Yi Jiahe," Suzuki turned to me in front of me, "believe in yourself." ”

"That's right," Xiao Hui, who had stayed at the end for some reason, followed Yu Jingjing in front of me and said to me, "After all, you are a master of single-handedly bringing us out of the equatorial windless belt." ”

"I said," Josh stopped and shouted, "anyway, there is still time before the fireworks festival, or we can go to the back mountain to have a look, maybe we can really go down to the bottom of the sacred tree." ”

"Stupid, don't shout here. Alex didn't cover Josh this time.

"Is it okay?" Ma Chao turned to Suzuki.

"If you do that, you will be rejected by my people. ”

Yu Jingjing slanted her lips and smiled: "It's not bad to exchange for the secrets of the Suzuki clan." ”

I said to everyone, "It's unknown whether there is space at the bottom of the Divine Tree, after all, it's just my dream......"

"Since you said it, there is a need to seek. Yu Jingjing said, "In the past, I would take the other party for a fool when I heard such words, but Yi Jia and you undoubtedly have a kind of insight that we can't match." ”

I don't like to be doubted, and I don't like to be admired.

"This matter is on hold for a moment. It is not so easy to go to the forbidden land of our clan, you must be fully prepared. ”

Hey, Suzuki, are you from the Suzuki clan?

In this way, the adventurous students decided on a new "place to visit" just because of my words.
