Most of the shrines in Japan have obvious imitation Tang characteristics.

The same is true for Juqiong Shrine.

The wooden structure is complemented by white walls, green tiles, and bright vermilion to outline the wall lines.

A huge rope made of straw is hung at the entrance of the shrine hall to signify the sacred boundaries.

Several ema and brass wind chimes hang from the ropes, and when the wind blows, it makes an ethereal and quaint metal crashing sound.

In this already artistic conception picture, there is also a little witch wearing a white hakama, wearing a white foot bag, and tying her long black hair with white sandalwood.

The sense of atmosphere and the mystery of religion are directly filled.

The little witch in the Juqiong Shrine is about 16 years old, a high school student named Onizuka Kiritaru.

Because of the dual identity of a student and a shrine god at the same time, Onizuka's life is too fulfilling.

In normal times, not only do you have to finish your schoolwork seriously, but you can't relax in the practice of the gods on this side of the shrine.

The only hobby in his spare time is to use his fragmented time to surf the Internet.

Onizuka Kirita often visits a forum called "Strange Talk and Hundred Ghost Friends".

She has a very high level in the forum, with Lv6, and her account ID uses the name of the heroine of the Japanese national traditional novel "The Tale of Genji" - [Purple Above].

Onizuka stopped meditating and picked up the phone, it was a private chat from a netizen who had just met for a short time-

[Honest foreigner]: "Big guy, I'm being pressed by a ghost again." If you experience this kind of thing too much, will it cause any damage to your body? ”

, a netizen who has never met before, always calls himself a "big guy", and asks all kinds of questions with an open mind, which makes Onizuka feel quite useful.

Vanity is satisfied!

But then again, the "outsider" on the other side has talked about the ghost collision incident he personally experienced in the past two days, and he has talked about it a little too often.

The little witch started to buckle the keyboard.

[Purple Above]: "Generally speaking, no. But your words, in the past three days alone, I have heard you talk about the experience of hitting the spirit, and there are almost seven or eight of them. ”

[Honest Outlander]: "Frequent collisions with spirits will cause irreversible damage to the body? ”

[Above the Purple]: "Not really. I mean, are you making fun of me? How could a normal person encounter so many collisions in such a short period of time! ”

[Honest Outlander]: "Maybe it's because I'm not normal?" ”

Hotaru Onizuka: ......

A sentence that cannot be refuted.

This forum netizen who emphasized his "honest friendship" in his ID, but his speech is always oily and slippery.

But this "stranger" speech was quite interesting most of the time.

Chatting with him won't annoy Onizuka.

[Purple]: "Anyway, if you really hit the spirit like this, something will go wrong sooner or later." It's best to find a shrine to visit. ”

[Honest Stranger]: "I've been to the nearest shrine to see it, and I prayed for a royal guard, but it didn't work. ”

[Purple]: "What did you pray for?" ”

[Honest Foreigner]: "Traffic safety. ”

[Above the Purple]:"? ”

[Honest outsider]: "Ah, the omamori sold at that shrine is too expensive. So, I ended up picking the cheapest traffic safety kind to buy. ”

In fact, for Kamiyagawa on the other end of the phone, instead of buying an expensive omamori, it is better to pinch the five thunder fingers when hitting the spirit.

[Purple]: "Are you making fun of me again?" ”

[Honest Stranger]: "No. Moreover, I'm just hitting spirits more frequently in the past two days, and I'll be fine after a while. ”

Hotaru Onizuka: ......

That is, the collision of spirits has been more frequent in the past two days, is it okay?

Onizuka was a little speechless and didn't know what to reply to.

Just as she was about to put her phone down.

Syllable!

There was a sudden pain in the back of the head.

It was a cypress fan that struck her on the head lightly.

Onizuka Kirita turned around, and behind him, I don't know when, stood an old woman wearing a priest's uniform, holding a blind cane, and her eyes were empty.

This old woman is the deity of Juqiong Shrine.

That is, the leader of a shrine.

Several clergy members at the shrine, as well as acquaintances and believers who came to pray, called the woman Granny Blind.

People seem to have forgotten her real name.

"It's so painful, mother-in-law."

Onizuka rubbed his head, and easily loosened the crooked white sandalwood paper on his head, and his hair with a high ponytail turned into a soft and shiny long black straight.

"I'm not meditating, I'm playing with my phone again."

The mother-in-law who treats others very kindly.,It's only when facing the onizuka.,Like a strict parent.。

"I've been meditating for an hour, and I just picked up my phone." The little witch argued pitifully and whispered.

Sometimes, she really wondered if the Juqiong Shrine in front of her, who claimed to be blind, was really invisible.

Whenever Onizuka Kiritsu Miko practiced fishing, Granny Akira would appear behind her unnoticed, and then hit her head with a juniper fan.

If you get knocked on the head too much, you will become a stupid person!

"Don't deal with people online, those are all virtual, they are all fake. There are a lot of scammers who will cheat girls like Hotaru Ling on the Internet. ”

"I know, mother-in-law. It's just a matter of passing the time, so I won't be deceived. ”

The little witch raised her chin slightly.

The expression on his face is very understandable, and the words "how smart you look at me" are almost written in my head.

"So you still have time to pass the time? It seems that the cultivation task I gave you is still too light. ”

Granny Yu gently lowered the juniper fan.

"Huh?" The clever little witch had a frozen expression all of a sudden, "No, no, no!" Mother-in-law, there are already a lot of things to do in the cultivation of the Son of God! ”

Granny Yu didn't answer the topic, and walked to the rope at the door of the shrine with a blind cane.

The early morning wind gently floated the wide white sleeves of her dress.

"Hotaru-chan, pack up your things and go out with me."

"Huh? Do I have to go to school later? ”

"I just took a week's off work for you."

"Oh, do you want to get rid of the spirit? I'll prepare! ”

The little witch's tone was slightly excited, and she turned around and ran to the shrine hall.

A week's vacation means that this time the soul removal is going to go away.

In the past few days, you can temporarily put aside your studies and practice and ignore them.

All right!

About ten minutes later, Onizuka trotted out again.

I saw that she had taken off her wide white dress and hakama and changed into a regular dress that was convenient for her movement.

He had long black hair coiled up, and he wore a god-son hairpin that he only wore when he was removing spirits.

In addition, there are a lot of things on his body-

Kagura bells, juniper fans, swords, sasasa, sakaki, masques, kagura flutes, taiko drums, a large handful of yellow rune paper, and a bow pinned to his waist.

It's really hard for Onizuka to cut Hotaru's small body to carry such a stack of spiritual removal equipment, but it looks like a "lot of bad stationery" feeling.
