The Shinkansen stopped at Kyoto Station, and the bustling crowd dragged Hayakawa Hiroshi out of the train, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Tsukasa Kurihara was at ease in the crowd as if he were walking on the ground, and his heart was a little less suspicious.

The people who got off the train were still talking about the rainbow they saw on the train, and the rare beauty spread quickly on the Internet, but no one knew what it meant behind it.

Except for Tsukasa Kurihara.

When we arrived in Kyoto, the sun and rain had long since ended, the sky was clear, and there was no longer a rainbow in the daytime.

Kyoto, formerly known as Heiankyo, is the ancient capital with the longest neon history.

Traces of the Tang Dynasty can be seen everywhere in Kyoto. The administrative area divided in the form of a chessboard, with the 84-meter-wide Suzaku Avenue as the central axis, extends from north to south to the Luocheng Gate in the south of the capital, and is extremely equally divided into two halves of the east and west, the eastern half is called "Zuojing" and the western half is called "Youjing". However, due to severe floods, Youjing gradually declined, and Zuojing became more and more prosperous to form today's trend.

Heiankyo has been the center of neon politics and culture for more than a thousand years, and many literati and artists have emerged here, with a profound cultural heritage. And where there is history, there are many legends of ghosts and evil spirits.

Legend has it that when Heiankyo was infested by a hundred ghosts, the imperial court asked the onmyoji, led by Abe Harumi and Ashiya Michimitsu, to make the people live and work in peace and contentment. Since then, there have been many amulets called "Harumi" and "Michiman".

It was also from that time that the shrine was gradually built.

Because of the painful lesson of the temple seizure before, the authorities did not allow temples to be built within a kilometer of the imperial city, so most of the temples in Kyoto are on the periphery. However, there were no restrictions on the shrines, and large and small shrines were built in the imperial castle.

Among them, Fushimi Inari Taisha is the most famous, and the Inari faith is the most widely distributed belief in all neon.

There are 120,000 neon shrines, large and small, of which nearly 40,000 are Inari beliefs. Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is recognized as the origin of the Inari faith, and the vermilion Senbon torii gate on Mt. Inari is even more famous.

Tsukasa Kurihara and Hiroshi Hayakawa stand at the entrance of the Senbon torii gate, and when viewed from below, the layers of vermilion torii gate form a wonderful scenery. The path of the stone steps under the torii gate is awe-inspiring, and it is lined with smiling foxes on both sides, and you can see the next one every few stone steps.

The stone foxes look similar from a distance, but they vary from a closer look, and there are various morphological differences in the subtleties.

There are also a few cherry blossom trees on Mt. Inari, and although they are not in patches, they are dotted with pink in the verdant greenery, which makes people's eyes open and has a bit of Zen feeling.

All of this creates a mysterious and deep atmosphere, and although it is crowded with tourists, the atmosphere of antiquity and mystery still comes to the face, especially after Hiroshi Hayakawa's previous unthinkable.

At this moment, he looked at those smiling moments, and the foxes unconsciously got goosebumps, and felt that they were staring at him.

Hiroshi Hayakawa got closer to Tsukasa Kurihara and asked him, "Kurihara-san, is my grandfather in Mt. Inari?" ”

Tsukasa Kurihara didn't answer, and from the moment he arrived at the torii, he closed his eyes and spread his power.

He chose to use the power of faith obtained from the settlement of his wishes, and two transparent threads slowly condensed and stretched from his body, climbing up the path created by the Senbon Torii gate.

The line seems to be gentle, but it actually walks quickly, reaching the top of the mountain in less than half a moment.

Mt. Inari is more than 800 meters above sea level, but it is enough to take in most of Kyoto's houses from the top of the mountain. But this was not the purpose of Tsukasa Kurihara, and his line came to the end of the Senbon torii gate, in front of the stone carving of the fox with the mutilated right ear, and stopped.

Tsukasa Kurihara faintly heard the conversation.

"Brother Fox, I don't dare to stay any longer, the juniors in the family are worried, the next time we get together, I will definitely worship the best fish."

Another person said, "Hayakawa-san, we invited you not only because we haven't seen each other for many years, but now that we have reopened Aooka and the goddess has returned, you are a guest of Aogaoka, and we invite you to come to our priestess festival." ”

At this end of the conversation, Tsukasa Kurihara came back to his senses from his standing state, and the thread quickly returned to his body.

Tsukasa Kurihara opened his eyes, looked at Hiroshi Hayakawa, and nodded.

Hiroshi Hayakawa asked eagerly, "Then where is he?" ”

Tsukasa Kurihara looked at the top of the mountain: "I have to find the entrance to the Peach Blossom Spring." ”

"Peach Blossom Spring? Do you mean Tao Yuan Mingsang's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"? Hayakawa Hiroshi has learned this article, "My grandfather can't be in this kind of place, right?" ”

"Probably." Tsukasa Kurihara replied, walking forward with a Mo knife in one hand and a furball in the other, "Hayakawa Daichi-san was taken to another place by the foxes, who were preparing a grand ceremony and needed his help. ”

Hiroshi Hayakawa followed behind him, panting a little from the rapid ascent of the mountain: "Ho... Ho... What kind of ceremony do you need my grandfather's help with? He is an old man, why should the foxes take him. ”

Tsukasa Kurihara glanced at Hiroshi Hayakawa, and soon, Hiroshi Hayakawa realized from Tsukasa Kurihara's eyes: "Could it be that it is because of the old ······"

"The foxes are missing for many years." Tsukasa Kurihara said, "We need an old man like your grandfather to carry on the old habits." ”

Tsukasa Kurihara gave more and more information, but it only deepened his confusion for Hiroshi Hayakawa, who didn't know what was going on—he didn't know about the strange talk about the prison, and he didn't know about the disappearance of the Aogaoka fox.

But he didn't need to know.

The two arrived at the top of the mountain, Hayakawa Hiroshi held his knees and slowly strengthened, and Tsukasa Kurihara walked to the stone-carved fox with his missing right ear, and the fox smiled into a thin line of eyes and looked at Tsukasa Kurihara.

Hiroshi Hayakawa relieved himself, thought about what Tsukasa Kurihara had just said, and asked, "If you find an entrance to Mt. Inari, do you need manpower?" Or the help of some tools, I can get people ready. ”

While Hiroshi Hayakawa was speaking, the hairball said, "My lord, it's ····· It seems to say let's come in the evening. Don't take Hiroshi Hayakawa, even if you take him, it's useless - that's what the fox said. ”

Tsukasa Kurihara nodded, and Hiroshi Hayakawa thought it was a gesture to him, and hurriedly asked again: "What do you need me to prepare?" ”

Tsukasa Kurihara then focused on Hiroshi Hayakawa, thought for a while, and said, "The first spring rice, the first dew in the morning, the goat's milk that gave birth to the first lamb, and then the first to enter the shrine when the shrine opens." ”

Kurihara Shoti's request was meticulous and precise, which made Hayakawa Hiroshi feel at ease—although it was not something that could be prepared at once, but at least there was hope, and he responded and immediately asked someone to do it.

Of course, what Tsukasa Kurihara said was all useless, and it made sense of the previous measures to comfort Adachi.

On the night when Hiroshi Hayakawa was busy preparing these items, after the closure of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Tsukasa Kurihara took the hairball up the mountain.
