Circles were arranged around the six-pointed star altar, and then expensive tributes were placed on the six corners of the six-pointed star, the most notable of which was a large chest placed in the center of the six-pointed star altar. The other offerings were stacked on the edge of the altar, except for this boxy, one-man tall and two-wide box, which was placed in the center of the altar.

When Abe Izukawa saw us coming back, he hurriedly greeted us and asked, "You're not in danger, are you?" There are many places within the Takamagahara Divine Realm that we haven't been to in the Abe family either, so we may run into some trouble. ”

I smiled and waved my hand and said, "It's okay, you're busy, I'm fine, but I accidentally touched a magic circle and blocked the door with a big stone, and then I broke the magic circle and the stone returned to its place." ”

Naturally, it was impossible for me to tell the story of my battle with the ancient gods and the fact that the souls of the ancient gods were still devoured by the Qiankun Box.

"Okay." He nodded and hurriedly left, as the most important annual ceremony of the Abe family, if he messed up, then Abe Izukawa couldn't afford to be guilty.

I sat next to me and came over and said, "Brother Shan, I feel that this worship ceremony doesn't seem quite right. ”

"Oh? What's wrong? I saw that the former Li Yulang's expression was extremely serious, and he asked with a move in his heart.

"I've studied the information of the Abe family's past worship ceremonies, and to be honest, although the worship ceremonies in the past were very grand, they are still a little worse than today. The tribute placed on the six-pointed star altar today is two or three times that of previous years, and according to the information I have seen, in the past, the Abe family never placed the tribute to worship the gods in the center of the altar, and that position has always been the seat used by the ancient gods to receive tributes. "I also think there are some problems when the former Li Yulang says this, the Abe family is here to worship God, why did they actually occupy the seat of the ancient god of others?

"One more thing, Brother Shan, did you see the shrine maiden costume Haruko was wearing?" Former Li Yulang asked.

I nodded and said, "See, what's wrong?" Also having problems with the outfit she was wearing? ”

"Generally speaking, shrine maidens are required to wear ceremonial costumes, mainly red and white, and are very particular about their hairstyles and facial makeup. There is nothing wrong with Haruko's makeup and hairstyle today, the problem is in her outfit. She's wearing a predominantly black and white outfit, and can you see that? In black and white, it seems that black is still the main color. It's not a regular outfit, and it's the first time I've seen it. Moreover, the entire ritual of worshipping the ancient gods is completely wrong, Brother Shan, there is something wrong with this. "The words of the former Li Yulang are not groundless, and the points he said also aroused doubts in my heart.

"Let's act when the opportunity arises, if the Abe family makes something wrong, let's run away. Remember, leave the trail behind. ”

Not long after speaking, it seemed that the worship ceremony had been prepared and the circle arranged around the six-pointed star altar had been completed, and the onmyoji of the Abe family stood in a circle and began to chant mantras neatly. The mantra recited was said to be used to awaken the sleeping ancient gods. Haruko, dressed in black and white goddess costumes, slowly moved to the altar, holding a stick made of talismans in one hand and a golden bracelet on the other, and began to dance.

"Here we go!" Qianli Yulang said excitedly, this is the first time he has seen the worship ceremony, and if he can really summon the ancient gods today, it can also open his eyes.

Haruko's dance may take a long time or it may end quickly. It mainly depends on whether there will be a spirit to respond to her. Of course, it's a conservative estimate of dancing for one night, but with a bit of luck, it might end soon.

This kind of dance of praying to the gods is not very beautiful, but it is different from the footwork practiced by our Chinese monks, and it is a reason that the footwork is helpful to mana and also improves cultivation. Her dance also alludes to some strange law between heaven and earth, and with every step, every gesture sends a signal to the sleeping spirit of the ancient gods.

But after watching it for a long time, it was inevitable that I would be bored, so I waved my hand and said, "If you want to see it, you can see it yourself, I'll go to the side to meditate." If something happens, you call me. ”

After saying that, I walked to the side, sat down by myself, meditated, and began to practice. Immersing yourself in the world of cultivation sounds boring, but the operation of the big and small Zhou Tian's qi constantly stimulates the sea of acupoints in the body. Time passes minute by minute in cultivation, and the speed of a small week is about three hours, and a big week is five or six hours. This time, after I turned two little weeks, I heard the voice of the former Li Yulang in my ears.

"Brother Shan, Brother Shan......" he whispered to me, and I opened my eyes to look at him.

"What's wrong?" I opened my eyes and saw the former Li Yulang crouching next to me and calling me.

"There is a spirit that responds to Haruko's dance!" The former Li Yulang said excitedly.

"Oh?" It seems that the worship ceremony has finally entered the most tense and critical time, I slowly stood up and walked to the six-pointed star altar, at this time Haruko was still dancing but obviously very tired, dancing for six hours in a row was close to exhaustion, even if this dance did not swing too much, but people could not bear it. But fortunately, there was already a divine spirit that responded to him, and at this moment, the light and shadow directly above the six-pointed star altar converged into the appearance of a person, although he couldn't see his facial features, he seemed to be looking down on the entire altar.

"Oh? That's really the case...... "The light and shadow I saw in front of me were similar to those gods I had seen in my previous dreams.

"Huh? What did you say? Former Li Yulang asked without hearing me clearly. I smiled and said nothing, then looked up at the light and shadow on the other side, and the spirit seemed to hesitate. At this time, Abe Izukawa also joined the process of chanting mantras, and under the continuous action of incantations and dances, the spirit in the sky finally slowly fell, and finally stood in the center of the six-pointed star altar.

However, at this moment, there was that strange large box in the center of the altar, and it stands to reason that the gods would be unhappy, after all, the seats they chose to pay tribute were all occupied. But to my surprise and the former Li Yulang, the spirit actually fell into the box, and then there was a "bang" sound in the box.

"What's the situation?" The former Li Yulang had read all the information and there was no similar record in the ancient books, and he was also surprised at this moment.

The sound in the "bang bang......" box kept on and on, and it got louder and louder. A few seconds later, the box was pierced by a terrible light and shattered to the ground, but at this moment, it was not a spirit but a person standing in the middle of the pillar of light! And we all know this person! The moment I saw this person, Maeli Yulang and I said in unison: "Abe Yunshan! ”

None of us expected that the box was actually the little master of the Abe family, and at this moment, Abe Yunshan was wearing a white onmyoji robe and bathed in the divine light that looked holy. His hair and clothes fluttered in the gust of wind, and he looked like a god.

"How could it be him?" The former Li Yulang asked in surprise, I didn't understand what the Abe family was doing. But after seeing the spirit attached to Abe Yunshan's body, he began to control his body and walked towards the surrounding tributes. After a while, he began to choose the tributes around him, and he seemed to be quite satisfied. Seeing this scene, Abe Izukawa breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and ordered Haruko's entourage to take the shrine maiden down to rest. And he also breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered someone to wait solemnly for him to retreat and drink a sip of water.

At this time, I walked over with Maeli Yulang and asked, "Why is Abe Yunshan here?" ”

Abe Izukawa was not surprised at all that we would ask, but he told us, "Don't ask, you two." ”

He was polite but unwilling to tell me the truth, and I had to keep our mouths shut with the ex-Li Yulang. Looking at Abe Yunshan on the six-pointed star altar and returned to the center of the altar after selecting a lot of tributes, at this moment, Abe Izukawa hurriedly led people over, and a group of onmyoji knelt on the ground and even the former Li Yulang also knelt on the ground, after all, this is the ancient god in their Japanese mythology. I was the only one in the crowd who didn't kneel, but I didn't expect this to cause problems.
