Chapter Seventy-Seven: Lord Wine

As for Dongying, Ling He had always thought that it was a chaotic area, and the years of war between the Onmyoji Fuso Shrine Maiden and the Demon Clan had caused this place to be regarded as an object of cooperation by the peaceful "region".

But when Ling He came to its capital, 19784 City, even Ling He, who had lived in 10086 City in Xia District since he was a child, couldn't help but be amazed.

A tower-like building rises from the ground, and a black and white mist surrounds the tower, which is visibly filled in the air. At the top of the spectrum is a banner that looks like it can split the sky. There are four big characters written on the banner, after a few days of Jiuyue's ability development, Ling He's five senses have been significantly improved, now Ling He's eyesight can be compared to the general V2 ability who specializes in the eye, it is natural to see the words clearly, looking at the words that seem to be ghost-drawn, Ling He is extremely light, it seems that it is really necessary to learn a foreign language!

"Those four words read the Onmyoji Shrine, which is the headquarters of the Onmyoji and the Fuso Shrine Maiden. This tower is a landmark of the collaboration between Onmyoji and Fuso shrine maidens. ”

Jiuyue slowly spoke beside Ling He, relieving the doubts in Ling He's heart, "This is the famous Yin-Yang Shrine?" A sign of the combination of Shinto and Yin-Yang religion? Ling He's mouth came out of this sentence coldly.

"Exactly." Jiuyue nodded and gave an affirmative reply.

Shintoism is a native religion of the people of Toying, pantheistic beliefs, worship of various mountain spirits and ghosts, and is the most mainstream cultural form in Toei. On the other hand, Yin-Yang Dao was developed from the Chinese doctrine of Yin and Yang, which was introduced to Dongying in the 5th century AD and reached its peak in the 7th century, integrating into the state system and influencing all aspects of Dongying, such as flower arrangement, tea ceremony, music, drama, etc.

After the explosion of the elements, the success rate of the demon clan has risen sharply, and there are still Buddhism to contain in the past, but when the Buddhism is down, the demon clan is no longer able to resist by relying on the Yin and Yang Dao alone, and the Onmyoji has to choose to combine with the same declining Shinto Sect to compete for more benefits.

The Yin-Yang Shrine in front of you is a symbol of the combination of the two sides, with the Yin-Yang as the prefix, and the Shinto style of the shrine to construct the building. After nearly 100 years of integration, in today's Dongying, there is no specific dividing line between Yinyangdo and Shintoism, and the Shinto witches and Yinyangdo onmyoji in Dongying are all in one line. And the headquarters of the Toei Demon Clan is the Mt. Fuji, which is worshiped as a sacred mountain by the Toei people.

But now is not the time to marvel at the grandeur of the Yin Yang Shrine, Linghe followed in the footsteps of Jiuyue, shuttling through the streets and alleys of the city of 19784, where the residents mostly wear kimonos and suits, and the 10086 city of high-rise buildings is different, most of the 19784 city maintains its own national characteristics of the ancient style of architecture, to outsiders to show the unique traditional culture of this nation.

Jiuyue walked very fast, at least for Ling He, who had the ability to open the law for a few days, he could only barely keep up with Jiuyue's footsteps, but Jiuyue did not have the idea of slowing down, and kept moving at his own pace, and finally when Ling He was about to lie down, Jiuyue stopped in front of a shop, and Ling He instantly lay on the ground on all fours, obviously, the bumps on the sea road and the jet lag had not yet adjusted, so that Ling He, who had just tried his best to keep up with Jiuyue's footsteps, was tired.

"With your physique, I really wouldn't dare throw you to that black-bellied guy. After all, if I really threw you to that guy, I don't know if you will come back. Jiuyue didn't pull him up, just shook his head slightly, and walked into the small shop in front of him.

Ling He lay in place for a while, finally came to his senses, touched his head and looked at the wooden plaque with three big characters written on it, and the corners of his mouth twitched, what kind of store is this? With a wooden plaque, it won't be an antique shop, right? Despite all the doubts in his heart, Ling He still walked into this shop.

Pushing open the hidden wooden door, Ling He finally saw the structure inside the shop.

A row of wooden chairs is placed across the lobby in front of you, and in front of the chairs is a bar counter, and the surrounding walls are covered with ornaments full of Yamato ethnic characteristics. There were only two people sitting at the bar in the whole hall talking, each with a glass of wine in front of them, and a plate of teppanyaki in front of them, which was still clearly visible from the heat, and it was possible that the plate of teppanyaki had just been prepared.

Ling He, who just wanted to speak, asked about Jiuyue's whereabouts, and suddenly remembered that he was in a foreign land at this time, and the language was definitely incomprehensible, and if he opened his mouth rashly, he would be misunderstood by others that it was a visit from someone from another region, causing unnecessary misunderstandings. But on second thought, it was impossible for Jiuyue to take herself to a place where she didn't really understand the language, after all, language learning takes time and atmosphere, and a place full of Xia District and Fusang at the same time is the best.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the most likely place for Jiuyue to be was here, so although it might cause trouble, Ling He still spoke: "Excuse me, have you seen a person with a hideous mask coming in, probably as high as my shoulder." ”

Ling He asked the two people who were talking, and by the way, he pointed his right hand to his shoulder, and Ling He, who was waiting for an answer, froze for a moment when he saw the taller person turn around.

"Mao Jiu, this is the Ling He with the White Elephant Rotation in your mouth?" A black ponytail lady turned around, speaking in Natsu dialect, with brown eyes and wearing a kimono peculiar to the Fuso people. Holding a glass of wine in his hand, his fingers like shallots appear brighter and whiter in the reflection of the glass.

She raised the wine glass in her hand and drank it all, and after drinking, she licked her lips twice, and directly reached out on the iron plate to pick up a piece of hot teppanyaki and put it in her mouth and chewed it.

"Well, this matter will get rid of you, Sake-hime." The other woman also turned around, and Ling He's eyes widened after hearing the voice, looking at the face of the woman who turned around.

I saw that the woman had long snow-white hair, a petite size, orange eyes, and a slightly open cherry mouth, but what caught Ling He's attention the most was the pair of cat ears on her snow-white hair and the hideous mask behind her.

She's a demon!

In this way, the identity of the cat-eared white-haired Lori in front of her is about to come out, she is Linghe's guide Jiuyue.

"Ling He, let me introduce, this is your future teacher Sake Ji, she will guide you in the future and teach you more skills." Jiuyue said to Ling He, pointing his finger at the sake that was still eating teppanyaki, and when he heard that Jiuyue had found an apprentice for himself so quickly, Sake was not happy, and hurriedly said, "Mao Jiu, why are you like this?" You've just found me a burden when I'm free, don't you wish I wasn't happy? ”

"This, sake ......"

"Wait, wait, who told you to call me sake, is that what you can call sake?" Sake chewed teppanyaki and said inarticulately, pointing at Ling He with the finger that didn't hold teppanyaki in his hand.

"I'm sorry, but what should I call you?"

"You're going to call me Lord Drunk!"
