Chapter Seven: Are You Okay?

When everyone came to the shrine, it was just in time for the shrine to open. It's summer vacation, and there are still a lot of tourists and locals who come to the shrine.

If you are in time for July, you can also see the festival at the shrine, which is one of the three major festivals in Japan.

Yasaka Shrine, the main deities enshrined are Sukusa Wooson, Kushipada Himemei (his wife), and Yatsuru Goko God (their eight children). As a result, Yasaka Shrine is known for its health, good luck, marriage, and traffic safety.

It is worth mentioning that the Mimae Shrine Gomori, which enshrines many beautiful gods in the precincts of Yasaka Shrine, prays specifically for the fulfillment of women's virtues. Therefore, there are many couples and single girls who come here.

There are quite a lot of people here, and the shrine is slightly crowded. But fortunately, as a VIP customer, under the leadership of Kagura, everyone came to the inner courtyard, which is usually not open to outsiders.

When the girls came to the shrine for the first time, they were especially excited about everything around them, frolicking and taking pictures between the torii gates and the corridors.

The shrine maidens who accompanied them even prepared a omamori as a gift for them.

"You know what? Each shrine is unique, and each has a different meaning. Like the omamori of Yasaka Shrine, also known as "Mimori", it represents a prayer for beauty. It is said to have the effect of relieving bad luck and connecting marriages. Lin Tianxiang said in popular science.

"Lin Tianxiang, you're robbing Miss Kagura's job......" Xing Xiaolou said quietly.

"It's okay, I don't care." Kagura waved his hand repeatedly.

"Hmph, this thing definitely doesn't have any effect on the concubine! Why, God can't grant another God's desires! Mothea said this, silently keeping the Omamori close to her.

"Marriage...... Yan Yurou carefully put the imperial guard on her chest, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Guys, let's go to the inner courtyard." Kagura, who was walking at the forefront, stopped and clapped her hands gently.

Just like the outside, the interior of Yasaka Shrine is a wooden temple with red walls and black tiles. Influenced by the Tang Dynasty, which was at its peak at the time, most Japanese shrines have a style similar to Tang Dynasty palaces and royal palaces.

The inner courtyard is different from the outer courtyard, which receives tourists, and it is not only a place for shrine maidens and priests to work and rest, but also an important place for exorcists to perform ritual summoning gods.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to perform the Shikijin ritual. The Yin-Yang Hall stipulates that you must have the title of Demon Cleansing Officer or have the qualification certification of the Yin-Yang Hall. After that, just start the simple lottery session.

Lin Tianxiang and the others were able to carry out the ritual of the gods, which had to be thanks to Mo Xiaoxue's help. Under the entanglement of Mo Xiaoxue's dead face, the three families finally gave them the qualification to perform the ceremony.

Originally, it was not permissible for foreigners to use something that could be said to be the exclusive preserve of Japan. It's as nearly impossible as Sony's exclusive game suddenly arriving on the Microsoft Store. (Nioh is this almost outside thing.) )

Moreover, because the Shikigami ritual is a simple operation of the gacha pool. But the principle involved in it is quite profound, card drawing is just a popular saying, from a professional point of view, the key to whether the god is summoned or not is whether there is enough bond between people and the god.

This statement is very mysterious, similar to China's covenant in the past life. The love of the past life is returned in this life. Looking back at the past life, in exchange for the meeting in this life.

Because of the chaos, demons have descended on Japan. The history records every grand battle between man and demon. But who can tell the story of the grievances and grievances between people and demons? Who can guarantee that their ancestors have no fate with youkai?

Heaven and earth have love, and there is no reason for love and hate. What is the boundary between demons and humans?

The ritual of the gods, to put it bluntly, was a doomed ending from the beginning.

If the chance of a native summoning a god is 3 percent, then the chance of a foreigner summoning a god is 1 percent. Therefore, the three major families did not care that foreign supernatural beings came here to perform rituals.

"Then, come one by one, I'll go to the Shikijin ritual first, and you can study hard while you wait." When it was said that the ritual was going to be performed, everyone was still quite nervous. It's like sitting in front of a TV waiting for lottery numbers to be announced. As the only man in the tour group, Lin Tianxiang is naturally the first to take the lead, and he is also very aware of the essence of the Shishen ceremony, but with the mentality of "I'm here anyway, I won't get pregnant if I try" still wants to test his bloodline.

He had always believed in his heart that he was just a refugee smuggled from Europe to Africa. Even in Africa, his pedigree has always been pure.

Under the leadership of the shrine maidens, Lin Tianxiang came to the shrine alone, and first performed the same "hand water house purification" (in short, washing his hands...... Then, sit in the center of the front of the temple and meditate with your eyes closed.

Then, the witches will form a group around themselves and perform a prayer incantation.

During the ceremony, no one else is allowed to enter the main hall, but they can watch from the outside. As expected, this group of idle girls had no intention of learning at all, and they came to watch like curious babies.

The ritual lasts for five minutes, and if the candles at the four corners of the east, west, north, and south light ignite in the blue, and the summoner's whole body is wrapped in a cloud of golden light, Shikijin will appear, and the ceremony will be successful.

If the five-minute ritual time is over and there is no reaction during this period, it is a failure.

"Kagura-sama, do you think this Gentile can succeed?" The high priest, dressed in clothes representing the highest position of the shrine, asked in a respectful whisper.

"Who knows?" Kagura looked at the meditative boy with interest, "It's a mistake in itself to think about the next development in a person who can't speculate with common sense. ”

The conversation from the outside world did not reach Lin Tianxiang's ears.

At this moment, he felt that he was in a dream land that seemed like a paradise.

"It can't be Huang Yuxuan doing ghosts again, right?"

The falling flowers are colorful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the melodious flute sound is not far away.

For some reason, Lin Tianxiang had a strong sense of déjà vu. Everything here made him feel familiar, as if he had been here before.

That's impossible.

In my memory, I have never been here. Not to mention...... In this world that is already like a forest of steel, is there really such a beautiful world?

Lin Tianxiang walked towards the forest in the direction where the flute was blowing, and his heart beat violently uncontrollably. He was nervous for some reason, and he didn't know how to look forward to it, as if he knew who he was looking for.

Walking through the woods, the blinding light made his eyes squint slightly. When he adjusted to the light, what he saw was a sea of flowers.

In the sea of flowers, the black-haired girl in white had her back to him, as if sensing someone's arrival, she stopped playing.

Lin Tianxiang was suddenly stunned, he seemed to have seen this person somewhere.

The girl turned around slowly—

By the way, during the battle with the Moon Witch, he had seen her once in his fantasy.

Green mountains and green waters, among lonely boats.

There was a stunningly beautiful woman playing the flute—

"Smoke and rain are soft ......?"

The woman with a face similar to Yanyurou looked at him quietly, her eyes revealing endless love and tenderness, as if she wanted to imprint him in her eyes forever.

"Lin Jun, don't come unharmed?"

The Buddha said: If you don't owe each other in your previous life, how can you see each other in this life?

If there is a past life and an afterlife, is it the fate that you have spent half your life in exchange for this life? Perhaps, our names have already been engraved on the Sansheng Stone, giving up Meng Po Soup, jumping into the Lechuan River, even if we have been lost for thousands of years, just for the reunion at this moment.

This moment is enough.

……

"Huh? Look, my lord! "The High Priest lost his composure at the development before him.

He had witnessed hundreds of summoning rituals, but this was the first time he had seen such a big movement.

The candles burned with golden flames, and the ancient circle emitted a brilliant white light. The light passed through the roof. Soar into the sky!

"I'll just say it...... He's an unusual guy, huh? Suddenly, Kagura, who was breezy and light, was also slightly stunned, "How is it possible, this guardian spirit is ......"

Behind Lin Tianxiang, the guardian spirit was like an ink painting, slowly sketching out one stroke at a time. The curious crowd ignored etiquette and kept poking their heads to find out.

Finally, a huge, snow-white nine-tailed fox appeared in everyone's sight, its golden eyes always looking at the sleeping boy, and its gaze was extremely gentle.

The country of green hills, its mountains have foxes.

"Isn't this the mythical and legendary Qingqiu White Fox?" Kagura also knew something about Chinese mythology, but she could figure out why the Shikijin ritual summoned this incredible thing.

"Oh...... God-sama! The priests, led by the high priest, began to worship the nine-tailed fox without saying anything.

In Japan, the white fox is the messenger of the gods.

The nine-tailed sky fox is second only to the existence of the gods.

"Kagura-sama...... What happened to you? Noticing that Kagura's face was not good, Xing Xiaolou said with concern.

"I'm fine, but your boyfriend ......"

"Lin Tianxiang? What happened to him? Now is not the time to be entangled in the salutation, and everyone hurriedly came over and asked.

"Because he summoned the first demon king in the history of Japan that was enough to reach the level of a god, and the aura it exuded before was enough for the powerful and youkai of the entire Japan to perceive......" Kagura did not continue, but everyone could imagine what might happen after that.

No matter how Lin Tianxiang escapes, he will be caught in the whirlpool of trouble, and it is only a matter of time before he is approached by the two forces......
