Chapter 35: Prelude to the Great Sacrifice

On March 18, 210, at 6 o'clock in the evening, the 21st festival officially began.

As the sun sets, night begins to fall.

Starting from the world to Hakurei Shrine, such a long distance is brightly lit.

In the passionate and powerful shouts, dozens of young men wore yukata with a slightly short hem, tied up the wide sleeves, exposed their strong arms, and carried the huge and solemn portable shrine with their strong and powerful shoulders, and slowly walked on the road paved with blue bricks step by step. With each step, sweat slipped from their hair, but there was not a hint of exhaustion on their faces, but a look of excitement and pride.

The festival is a festival that is held only once every ten years, and the people or monsters who can be selected to carry the portable shrine are all the lucky ones who are the envy of everyone, and in fact, it is true that the lucky ones who are selected will do things smoothly in the next ten years, and the family relationship will be harmonious, and the family and even themselves will be free of illness and disaster, which is undoubtedly a gift from the gods!

"Hey, hey!!"

"Come on! Come on! Come on! At both ends of the aisle are the villagers of the human world and the transformed youkai, all dressed in loose yukata robes and smiling as they cheer on the lucky ones carrying the portable shrines.

"It's really lively." Dressed in a bathrobe with pure white lines and lotus patterns in the corners, the holy white lotus raised her snow-white little hand and covered her mouth slightly, looking at the crowded and hot scene in surprise.

It was the first time she had seen such a lively festival, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces, and the youkai in the crowd were equally happy. Looking at the picture of the familiar and affectionate conversation between the youkai and the humans, this can't help but make the Holy White Lotus feel relieved, and her dream of hoping that humans and the youkai can coexist in harmony seems to have been fulfilled by her younger brother.

"Yes, it's all the credit of the life lotus." By her side, the Holy White Lotus (♂), who was wearing a plain black background and white yukata, walked slowly to her side, standing side by side with her, looking at the lively scene in front of him, he also nodded with satisfaction, and told his pride in a proud tone.

"Ahhh Why don't you start selling food!! I'm starving! The little treasure hunting general, Nazling scratched her hair a little irritably, and flicked her tail behind her back, "Ahhhh Wouldn't it be in vain that I was going to skip lunch and dinner and empty my stomach to eat a lot at the festival!! ”

"Stupid, it's only after the portable shrine is carried to the Hakurei Shrine that the festival officially begins, and now everyone's attention is not on entertainment." The rat spirit of the parallel world, Nazlin () patted Nazlin on ♂ the shoulder, and complained to her with a posture of a passerby: "Looking at the progress of their journey, it is estimated that they will have to wait for half an hour before they can move freely." ”

"No !!" Nazling put her hands on her face, revealing an expression of extreme horror, and let out a miserable scream.

"Nazling, how can you indulge in the lust of your tongue as a believer......" Inmaru Xing was about to preach to Nazry, but was stopped by himself in the parallel world.

"It's such a good day today, just relax a little, you don't need to be so strict." Inmaru Hoshi (♂) smiled and shook his head at her.

"............" Inmaru was silent for a moment, looking at Nazling, who was arguing with Nazrin, and Nazling, who was red-faced, Inmaru sighed and never spoke again.

"Let's go, now Meilian must be staying in the Hakurei Shrine." The Holy White Lotus (♂) nodded to the people in the Destiny Lotus Temple, and then said to the Holy White Lotus (♀) with a smile.

"Yes." Saint Bailian nodded slightly, looking at the brightly lit place on the top of the mountain in the distance with an expectant expression, she hadn't seen her brother for a few days!!

At the same time, Hakurei Shrine

"Hurry up, hurry up!! Hurry up and set up the venue! With an anxious face, Bo Liling instructed his son to set the stage in place.

"Reimu hurry up!! This is an opportunity for us to make a lot of money once in 10 years!! Suzumu also ran around the shrine with her daughter Reimu, checking for any omissions.

Hakurei Shrine is spotless now, and even the vestibule is so clean that it can reflect people's faces, and God knows that the floor paved with woolen stone bricks can reflect people's faces!! In particular, the shrine's money box is one of the most dazzling, as if the money box that has been wiped countless times is shining in the light, making people feel the urge to touch it, but if you touch it, it is estimated that the end will be miserable...............

In the middle of the ring, the foursome of Hakurei Shrine, who had finally completed the inspection, were sitting precariously waiting for the pilgrims to arrive.

"Stuff the money, stuff the money!! $V$" Suzumu seemed to be delusional about something, and her saliva was dripping

"Money, money!! $A$" Bo Liling looked at the cash box, his eyes shining with a strange golden light.

"One hundred thousand! Lakh! Lakh! ............" Reimu looked straight ahead with his eyes scattered, the corners of his mouth hooked up in a strange arc, and at the same time, his mouth kept thinking about something.

"Hehehehe...... Money money! ......" Bo Liling kept sorting out her clothes, for fear that she didn't stuff money because of her untidy clothes.

"Reimu, this year's Kagura Dance must be an excellent performance!" Suzumi suddenly remembered something, put away the terrible expression before, slapped her hands on Reimu's shoulders, and looked at Reimu solemnly: "This is a great opportunity to earn popularity!" If the popularity is high, it will attract many pilgrims, and if there are more pilgrims, there will be more money, so be sure to perform the perfect Kagura dance!! ”

"Yes!!" Hearing her aunt's words, Lingmeng suddenly straightened up as if she had been beaten with chicken blood, and her face was flushed with excitement.

"Kouhu!! Kagura Dance was obviously handed over to me and my son!! "Just kidding, how can the opportunity to earn popularity be given to that pair of money-greedy mother and daughter!! Bo Li Ling took the case.

"Bastard! Do you want to fight!! ”

"Who's afraid of whom!!"

"Boli Hundred Cracked Fist!!"

"Hiro O'Rang, Flying Armpit Shrine Maiden!"

"Boli Dumpling Boxing!!"

"Bo Li crushes the crying girl fist!"

……………………………

Ashmida, who was far away in the Lost House, and Ashita in the Forest of Magic covered their faces at the same time, because they were a little worried, so the two gods used a little bit of their authority to observe the Hakurei Shrine, but the result was .........

Where did your previous collaboration go!! The venue and stage that I have worked so hard to set up are all messed up!! The shrine is in shambles!! And why is it that the aftermath of the battle is in shambles, but the cash box is stuffed but nothing happens?!! How much do you care about stuffing cash boxes!!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

PS: Last night, Poor Dao almost thought he was going to hang...... I ran to the toilet more than 20 times in one night...... Sleep no more than 3 hours combined......... The hospital is too ruthless...... Why don't you just do a gastroscopy...... As for taking laxatives, is it so ruthless......... After running so many times, I almost got sick if my physique was almost not sick...... Fortunately, Poor Dao is strong enough......

PS2: But the hard work has finally come to a good end, and the gastrointestinal disease that has plagued the poor for many years is finally going to be cured.

PS3: In this case, shouldn't the poor road rest for a few days~~ (looking at the sky + squinting)
