Since the elite group became famous and the stall of Cao Shen was rolled out, Song Mu and Shen Chang had less and less time to date.

If you don't deliberately calculate, Song Mudu can't say how long it has been since he and Shen Chang have been to her favorite bun shop.

In most cases, the two of them may be able to go on a solo date once a month, and the rest of the meetings will have various light bulbs present.

It was rare to have this kind of opportunity to walk hand in hand in the forest, and Song Mu and Shen Chang both felt very enjoyable.

Both of them thought they had climbed a lot of mountains, but when they actually set foot on the trail, they were attracted by the unique scenery.

At this time, the maple leaves have basically fallen, and only three or two are still stubbornly staying on the branch cuttings, interspersed with evergreen plants that are particularly conspicuous; The babbling river, the long bridge with bamboo and wood structure, and the river up the river have a unique shrine of the country.

Shen Chang and Song Mu walked through the torii gate and stepped into the shrine.

Song Mu had been to the country many times in his previous life, and he had been to this kind of small temple a lot, so he was still more familiar with the set of worshipping gods in the country.

She took Shen Chang to the hand water house outside the main hall, picked up a wooden spoon to wash her hands separately, and then scooped water with her right hand and poured it into her left hand, and rinsed her mouth with the water in her palm. With that, she held the spoon upright, let the water flow out, and cleaned the handle before putting the spoon back in place.

Then came to the main hall, Song Mu first shook the bell, took out two five-yuan coins from his pocket, handed one to Shen Chang, and threw the other into the money box.

After making all these preparations, Song Mu bowed twice to the hall without a god statue, followed by clapping his hands twice, and after putting his hands together and making a wish, he bowed again.

This series of actions is smooth and does not have any jerky feeling at all. It is also because of this series of rituals that this temple without statues of gods also reveals a trace of indescribable solemnity and solemnity.

"Don't look at the temple, this temple is not big, but there are a lot of rules." After visiting the shrine and leaving the main hall, Shen Chang asked with some curiosity: "Xiao Mu, how do you understand the rules of their country?" ”

"Uh......?" Song Mu was a little stuck, it's not that she didn't think of a good reason, on the contrary, she had two reasons, and she couldn't decide which one to use for a while.

At first, she was going to throw the pot directly to Sun Liang, saying that he had made a strategy and she learned it from his strategy.

The disadvantage of this reason is that now Sun Liang is in the country, in case he doesn't know how to say it, this reason will have to overturn on the spot.

So Song Mu wanted to throw the pot back to the trip to the country last time, so he said that he had followed a certain bigwig to another country's shrine last time.

This reason also has shortcomings, that is, Song Mu wants to ask for a royal guard this time, that is, the talisman of the country, if he has been to the shrine on his last trip, why didn't he ask for it last time, but he wanted to ask for one this time?

However, Shen Chang didn't give her much time to think, just a little stuck, she still decided to use the first reason directly: "Didn't Xiao Sun do a strategy, I learned it from him......"

Maybe Song Mu's ability was too strong, or Shen Chang's observation was too weak, in short, Shen Chang didn't have any doubts, he just nodded and said: "I thought that Xiao Sun's homework was useless, but I didn't expect that there would be something useful." ”

This shrine is not big, but after a while, the two of them walked around it. When he was about to walk to the door, Shen Chang motioned to Song Mu to look at a shop-like hut: "There are talismans for sale, right?" ”

Song Mu originally intended to go over and invite one, but when he heard Shen Chang ask, he replied without thinking: "That's right, the people of the country are called Yushou, and to put it bluntly, it is the talisman of our side." ”

Shen Chang suddenly became a little squirming, and after a moment of squirming, he swallowed. Tutu said: "Then their talisman here should have a relationship in charge of marriage, right?" ”

Song Mu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "It should be...... Yes, right? ”

"Then let's go and have a look." After speaking, without waiting for Song Mu to respond, he took Song Mu's hand and walked over there.

If he had known that Shen Chang had plans to ask for a talisman, he shouldn't have dumped the pot on Xiao Sun. Song Mu thought secretly in his heart.

There are all kinds of imperial guards in the hut, some of which are written in the local characters of the country, and some are in the traditional Chinese characters of the country, these colorful little cloth bags suddenly made Shen Chang's head bigger: "How can there be so many?" ”

"There is more than one amulet in our Huaguo Temple, right?" Song Mu looked at the imperial guard placed there, and said to Shen Chang: "People are always greedy, no matter what they want, they want the gods to bless them." "Cool text

Shen Chang didn't answer Song Mu's words, but said with some confusion: "We don't know the Chinese characters, and we don't know the Chinese language, this ...... What can I do? Otherwise...... Let's go to Xiao Sun first and ask him to come over and help us pick and choose? ”

It was rare to have this kind of dating opportunity, and Shen Chang was very reluctant to go to Sun Liang. But he didn't expect that there were so many varieties of talismans in Yueguo, and if he didn't go to him now, he wouldn't know which one to buy.

Song Mu had similar thoughts to Shen Chang, she was also very reluctant to let Sun Liang, a light bulb, ruin her date with Shen Chang, and after thinking about it for a while, she suddenly had a bold idea: "That...... I have an immature idea......"

……

……

After visiting the shrine, I continued up the path, and there was a small waterfall at the end of the small river that always accompanied me. After walking along the waterfall for a short time, Song Mu and Shen Chang arrived at their destination.

Along the way, the two did not run into Fujiwara Yuta's wife and children, nor did they meet Sun Liang, Zhang Si and Han Yangqiu, and they didn't know if they missed it with them when they visited the shrine, or if they went another way.

At this time, Shen Chang had an extra cloth bag in his hand, and the cloth bag contained many of the imperial guards in the shrine just now, to be specific, two copies of each of the various styles of imperial guards.

"My immature idea is reliable, right?" After the two found a flat place by the lake and sat down, Song Mu couldn't help but show off: "The pair we want must be among them, and after we go back, we will let Xiao Sun help pick it out." ”

Shen Chang opened the cloth bag, took out one from it casually, and said with a little cry and laughter while looking at it: "We can indeed get the pair of talismans we want, but what about the rest?" You can't wear them all, right? ”

"It's not impossible to wear it if you want to......" Seeing Shen Chang's expression, Song Mu smacked his lips and changed his words: "Of course, if you don't want to wear so much, it's not impossible, just go back and give it away as a souvenir." ”

"Can this be used as a souvenir?" The corners of Shen Chang's eyes twitched slightly. moved: "Didn't you still say when you bought it just now, saying that the people of the country think that this is the division of the gods. Body? Let's divide the immortals. If you give it away as a souvenir, it's a little inappropriate, right? ”

"Whew, what's that?" Song Mu waved his hand disapprovingly, many Chinese people came to the country in later generations, and they all took the imperial guard back as a native product to give away, and it was not too much to give it away as a souvenir, right?

Easily took the imperial guard from Shen Chang's hand, Song Mu saw that the words "diligent study imperial guard" were embroidered on it in traditional Chinese, so he said to Shen Chang: "For example, this is obviously to protect students to study hard every day, isn't it just right to give it to the bear child of your uncle's family." ”

Shen Chang was obviously not very satisfied with this statement, but it was estimated that if he took this bag back and returned it now, the shrine could not agree with it, so he had to reluctantly accept Song Mu's method.

Taking out a royal guard from the cloth bag again, Shen Chang asked with some curiosity: "This is obviously a trick, why do the people say that it is a talisman?" Is the amulet inside? ”

He tried to rub the bag in, but it didn't feel very thick, so he planned to open it directly to see what was inside.

"Don't open it!" Song Mu discovered his intentions and snatched the imperial guard over as soon as possible, "If you open it, it won't work!" ”

"Not really, right?" Shen Chang was skeptical of Song Mu's statement: "Isn't it the body in the bag that has the effect?" ”

"It's right to say yes, it's right to say no." Song Mu gave an ambiguous answer. Then, she told Shen Chang some knowledge about the imperial guard: "This is usually filled with charms blessed by the gods, or a note with the name of the gods, so there is a point that the imperial guard is a god. body statement.

"The people of the country believe that if someone opens the bag without permission, the power of the gods will be directly dissipated, causing the imperial guard to fail.

"Of course, there is another way of saying that if you open the bag without permission, you will be regarded as not believing in the gods, and it is a disrespectful practice to the gods, because if you don't respect the gods, the gods will not bless you."

"Such a small talisman, I didn't expect there to be so much consideration in it." After listening to Song Mu's detailed explanation, Shen Chang couldn't help but smack his tongue, and then he asked, "This knowledge is also what Xiao Sun told you?" ”

"That's not it." After the two go back, they still need Sun Liang to distinguish the role of these guards, if Song Mu continues to dump the pot to Sun Liang, it may not be possible to overturn at that time, so Song Mu immediately made up an explanation: "When I was doing an animation before, there was a place that needed relevant information, and I specialized in researching some." ”

"Oh? Have you ever known about it? Shen Chang suddenly became interested: "Then do you know anything else?" ”

"Uh......" Song Mu thought carefully for a moment, and it really reminded her of a plan: "It is said that the effect of the Imperial Guard of the Kingdom is only one year, and after a year, the power of the gods sealed in it will slowly disappear. Regardless of whether or not the wish is fulfilled within a year, the omamori must be brought back to the original shrine and asked the priest at the shrine to take care of it on his behalf.

"If the wish is fulfilled within a year, it is necessary to go to the gods and make a vow; If your wish doesn't come true, you'll need to hire a new omamori to replace the previous one. ”

"In other words......" Shen Chang said thoughtfully, "Wait until today next year, are the two of us going back here again?" ”
