Chapter 348: Qingming Shrine in the Divine Capital

In the original legend, it was because An Zhen deceived Qing Ji like this, and then became a model of a scumbag through the ages.

So, when he said something similar, Levi directly opened his mouth and blocked his way.

Then, all Levi saw was An Zhen, whose face was like ashes, and Qing Ji, who seemed to be about to start showing her sick appearance at this time.

"That's all I can do for you." Levi said, deciding to leave here directly and enter the Shendu overnight tonight.

This may only be regarded as a small episode of this trip, and Levi really thinks that he can educate the little monk well and deal with the sick Jiaojiao, just like a cat, he can only follow her hair.

Basically, according to her wishes, with a little straight ball, there will not be an outrageous ending like the legend.

But Monk Anzhen came completely the opposite, and the more sick Jiao wanted something, he didn't do it.

It took most of the night, but he didn't have time to rest, and Levi basically spent the second half of the night completely on how to enter Kyoto without realizing it.

However, after being tortured for a long time, he found that it was easier and rude to stun the guards.

In this way, almost when the sun was about to rise, Levi successfully entered the Divine Capital.

Hundreds of years ago, it was a small fishing village in complete ruins, and the so-called capital was made of wood like a fence, but after generations of construction by the Heike family, it has gradually taken on a new look.

Although there is still a gap between Kyoto and Nara, there is no problem with the current gods calling it "capital".

In the morning, the gods were completely shrouded in thick fog, and they could not see their fingers, and they could even hear the waves of the coastline in the distance.

This side is completely in the erosion plain of the sea, or Su Zuo no Nan originally founded a country in the land of Shendu, and it was only because he also had the function of a part of the "sea god", so in the end he established a large fishing village in the land of Shendu.

In the thick fog, Levi took out the map of the inverted spire that the system had given him, and he realized the problem.

In the map, the entire god is only a few centimeters in size, and the punctuation of the system may only be a few millimeters on the map, but in reality, Levi looked around him and found that a small dot on the map may be a few kilometers in reality, and he needs to find an inverted spire the size of a palm within a few kilometers.

It may not even be in plain sight, but underground, or in the surrounding buildings.

The fog still hadn't cleared, and it had even reached the point where it was impossible to distinguish the line of sight from ten meters away, but even so, the entire god capital began to hear a shout at this time, and the smell of fish began to stink.

After walking around the corresponding location for a long time, I have never been able to find any trace of the inverted minaret, and if it does not emit pollution, it is actually similar to a small stone.

As he walked, Levi paused abruptly and looked at a familiar place in the fog.

The three-story wooden building is a tall wooden building, and the grounds are filled with cherry blossom trees that are still only waiting to be planted, and shrine maidens dressed in shrine maiden costumes begin to clean the grounds, and the words "castle tower" hang here.

Levi was silent, and for some reason, he slowly walked in.

This shrine is not very big, 400 years ago it was a fishing village in Izumo Province, and the three-story shrine plus the attic is already the second largest building in the entire shrine after the Imperial Palace, but now, such a building is not remarkable.

"Your Excellency is here to ask for a visa or to visit the shrine?" Seeing Levi wearing a mask, the shrine maiden who was cleaning hurried over with clogs.

The witch in front of her didn't even have spiritual power fluctuations on her body.

"I just...... Come back and see old friends...... I guess it's a visit. Levi said something that made the witch feel confused, and walked straight into the shrine.

"Hey, guest." The shrine maiden seemed to want to talk about the rules of the shrine, but Levi came directly to the temple gate.

He saw a plaque hanging in the temple, on which were written in ancient letters with the words "Qingming Shrine".

In the main hall, there is a pure white lantern with a picture of a five-pointed star drawn on it, and the words "Imperial Lamp" are written in ink.

And the statue of Ampei Qingming is in the center, with a high pointed hat, sitting cross-legged on the ground, not looking like Li Wei is familiar with Qingming, but smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

Levi recognized this place, four hundred years ago, Ampei Qingming's last Yin-Yang Liao was built here, and the last battle of the same Great Snake was only a kilometer away from the castle tower.

However, Levi's impression was that the castle tower had been completely razed to the ground by the serpent, leaving only the remaining toxins and the flames that had ignited in the ground.

Everyone died in the middle of that war.

However, the restored castle tower is not much different from 400 years ago, and Levi can even find the room where he used to live, and the place where he finally said goodbye to Yuriko Shrine Maiden.

"Guest, visiting Lord Qingming requires a complete set of rituals, otherwise it will have no effect." The shrine maiden hurriedly came over and said, it seems that she is the only shrine maiden in the entire shrine.

"Sorry, I'm getting used to it." Levi hurriedly apologized and offered a silver bead.

And after the witch took the silver bead, she didn't care about Levi's unruly approach, but began to introduce Levi to the story of Ampei Qingming, as well as many allusions.

Levi just smiled lightly, even though the story told by the little witch was very, but he just smiled and nodded, and did not debunk it, nor did he raise the bar, after all, hundreds of years later, the distortion of the stories that circulated and the rendering of myths are normal.

And hundreds of years later, such a huge shrine seems to be the only one witch, and there is not even a trace of the priest, a hundred years ago, the shrine maiden Yuriko of this Yin Yang Liao was also able to bow and shoot arrows to kill the enemy, and retreated to be able to use herbs to heal the wounds of the strange woman.

Maybe the little witch was a little tired, so she stopped and began to take out a god lottery, and began to say to herself that let Levi ask for a sign, otherwise the money would be a little unreliable.

Levi smiled and began to ask for a sign according to the little witch's wishes.

"Let me ask, do you worship a white fox or a feathered fox in your god society?" Levi began to ask casually.

"Feathered fox? Why do you enshrine something like that? The little witch replied suspiciously.

"Sorry, that might be my mouth."

After walking around for a long time, Levi couldn't find any obvious traces except nostalgia, because in the map, the castle tower was just in the middle of the punctuation area, and Levi just wanted to try his luck.

"Give." He handed a sign to the little witch, and the little witch took the sign and began to decipher.

"Sign up! Guest, your fortune today will reach its peak, sign and interpret, you will meet old friends, meet and smile, and you will successfully complete your own things. The little witch said, and handed over the untied sign, and there was also a sewn omamori who also handed it over.

"Yes, then I will lend you good words."

"No, these are all instructions from Lord Harumi."

Levi had no intention of continuing his travels, so he thanked him and prepared to leave the place with the guard.

Even though there were constant battles outside the castle, there was still not much of a war atmosphere inside the Kanto, and not only that, but even such shrines were still operating as usual.

To be honest, looking at the current scene in the Shendu, Li Wei actually had a little bit of a good impression of the Ping family, although the war outside was fought thousands of miles, but the Ping family at least did not let such a war affect the ordinary people in the capital.

It's a pity that the fall of the Hei family is a historical inevitability, because the Hei government has no channels for ordinary people to rise, and the street level is solidified like stagnant water, and the peasants are all farmers forever, the temple family is forever and forever, and the nobles are always nobles.

A pool of stagnant street level will only gradually decay to the extreme, no matter how backward the policy of the Genji shogunate is in Levi's opinion, after all, ordinary people can still rely on their own bravery to become samurai and achieve a jump to the street level, for lower-level samurai, the Genji shogunate does not require spiritual power.

At the very least, the ordinary people in the Genji shogunate still had a little hope.

"Bell bell bell ......"

The wind chimes in front of the shrine rang, the sound of someone pushing the door, and the little witch hurriedly threw down Levi and began to walk over to greet the other guests.

"It turned out to be Sister Yun." The voice of the little witch came.

And suddenly, Levi was stunned, and the witch who seemed to have just walked in was also stunned.

"You ......" Levi was completely dumbfounded.

And the other party seemed to just smile lightly, and his face quickly recovered, and he limped away, saying, "Long time no see, Uncle Levi." ”

Even if Levi was wearing a mask, she recognized Levi at the first time, and the person who came now was her little niece Yun Ji.

"Wait...... Is this guest your uncle? The little witch girl before was suddenly shocked, with an expression that shocked her whole life.

"You go clean the shrine first." Yun Ji just rubbed her head and pushed her apart.

She seemed to be very skillful in changing the sackcloth on her body, and then changed into not a shrine maiden costume, but a hunting suit worn by a priest, and her hair was coiled up, and she put on a high black hat that held her hair in a fixed bun.

And Levi never imagined that during this time period, Yun Ji would serve as a priest in the Qingming Shrine.

No, this is actually normal, maybe this castle tower was rebuilt by two nieces, and it is exactly the same layout and construction style as hundreds of years, even Levi can recognize it at a glance.

And after the death of Harumi, the first heir of the so-called castle tower is naturally the Tuyumon family, and the second heir is the feather fox, who inherited here and established the Qingming Shrine is also normal.

But it seems that this side should be completely run by the little niece, the eldest niece is estimated to have been looking for a way to resurrect, and to subdue other big monsters to become her subordinates, she is not in the mood to live here for ten years as a peaceful life.

"You don't seem surprised at all by my arrival." It was a long time before Levi recovered from his complicated thoughts and said.

"Actually, after I grew up, I looked for you for a long time, but I didn't find any trace from beginning to end, and the so-called Kamiizumi family seems to be just borrowing a name." Yun Ji said very calmly, without sorrow or joy.

Looking at such a little niece, Levi seemed to have a lot to say, and it seemed that he couldn't say those words, and after a long time, he just sighed in vain.

Even the little niece looks like she is only in her twenties, but she inadvertently reveals a flat and even decadent temperament, and her childlike holes seem to have lost their highlights, which makes Levi understand that her age has reached more than four hundred years old after all.

Even from a human perspective, it is difficult to think that she is in her twenties, just as Fujiwara Miko guessed if she was in her forties when he first met her.

Originally, Levi wanted to ask her why she didn't stop Yi Ji during this time period, but this sentence was not spoken, and after a long time, he slowly said: "If you are tired, after twenty years, then go to Fujiwara's house in Kyoto to find me." ”

"Uh-huh, I will." Yun Ji tilted her head slightly, smiled at Levi, and continued to wipe the things in the shrine.

"By the way, do me a favor for now." Levi took out the map given to him by the system, especially the one in Shendu, pointed out the punctuation points of various places on it to Yun Ji, and asked her the place.

And looking at the punctuation on the map, I don't know why, Yun Ji's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"What's wrong?"

"This spot is Harumi Shrine." Yun Ji pointed to one of the dots and said, "This spot is Shotoku Shrine, this spot is Sensoji Temple, and this spot is Mitarai Shrine......

Every time she said a place, Levi's brow would furrow deeper, because these points were all temples or shrines.

After pointing out the five points in the Shinto, she continued, "I may not know the exact place, but I will help you pay attention to it in the Qingming Shrine, and you can go find the Kiritengu, these places are all related to him. ”

"Kiritengu?"

"A black-winged birdman with a long-nosed mask, uncle, you can beat him up, otherwise he probably won't tell the truth." Yun Ji continued, returning the map to Levi.

"Is Harumi Shrine also related to Kiritengu?"

"This shrine was originally built by it a few years ago, but in those years it was beaten by my sister and gave up this place in ashes."

"Oh, that's right." Levi's previous guess was wrong, but he didn't expect this Qingming Shrine to be built by a foggy dog.

"Then I'll leave first, and if you see an inverted triangle product, be sure to destroy it as soon as possible." Levi said solemnly.

"Hi Hi Hi ......"

"Bell Bell Bell ......" Levi walked out of the Qingming Shrine, and the dense fog in the Shendu still hadn't dissipated at this time.

"Is Uncle leaving?" The little witch who had just received Levi asked.

"Well, I still have something to do. In the future, the real story about Ampei Qingming should be asked by your priests, and don't talk nonsense in the future. He smiled and reminded her.

After Levi left, the little witch deflated her mouth dissatisfiedly: "Cut, it's like you've seen the real Lord Qingming......"

Li Wei didn't walk a few steps, and found that there was a temple not far away, and the entrance of the temple at this time was all gods who came to worship the Buddha, which was very different from the Qingming Shrine with a lot of doors.

Levi shook his head, Buddhism has a much greater advantage than Shintoism, basically after Buddhism flourished, Shinto only served the aristocracy.

"Lord Li Weishi, I finally found you!"

Suddenly a familiar voice interrupted Levi's exclamation, and he turned his head to see Monk An Zhen panting, and the fourteen-year-old ...... who was pestering him behind Monk An Zhen Kiyohime......
