Chapter 15: Transition
"I remember you've only been on the island for over a hundred years, right?" I stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the countless stairs leading up the mountain, and asked Xiao Ling a little speechlessly, "Can you tell me how much time you spent building the shrine and these stone steps on the top?" "There are at least thousands of stone steps, winding up to the shrine halfway up the mountainside, do your ancestors have idle eggs?
"Uh...... I don't know this very well, as I already did when I was younger. Suzu smiled a little embarrassedly, she was very puzzled by my question, probably in her consciousness, the shrine should be like this, and she never wondered why it was built like this.
We're here to deliver things to the shrine this time.,As a shrine dedicated to the gods, you don't have to work below.,Their job is to take care of things in the shrine.,The villagers will send things up spontaneously.。 Originally, I didn't have to come here, but I thought there might be a record of the enchantment on it, so I came along to take a look.
"Let's go." The pedestrian looked at the bell and ran up first.
"Wait for me!" Xiao Ling said angrily and began to chase after him, while I walked slowly and step by step behind Xiao Ling. The pedestrian guy seems to want to avoid having to keep squirting nosebleeds when he is climbing the mountain hard, so he runs so fast regardless of the physical exertion, and he can see a lot of things behind Xiaoling.
I'm not that dirty, and the speed of the little bell is so fast, it's long gone and I still look at a fart! I'm just not in a hurry, I've been enjoying climbing mountains alone for a long time, enjoying the scenery next to the mountain trail alone, and I certainly won't miss the opportunity.
When I was about two-thirds of the way through, I saw a person coming down from the top of the shrine, where I could already see the huge torii.
"Sister Ma Zhi, where are you going?" I looked at Ma Zhi who jumped down and asked curiously. Anyway, it's a child who grew up in a shrine.,Aren't you afraid of falling off at all? Also, Machi is worthy of Ayane's sister, and she looks only a little taller than me......
"I feel like you're thinking something rude!" Ma Zhi looked at it unpleasantly, and then said lightly: "I'm going to find my lovely sister, you climb slowly." After saying that, he ignored me and ran down quickly.
I touched my nose depressedly, this girl named Machi seemed to have a very special attitude towards me, but I didn't seem to provoke her, it's really incomprehensible. And her attitude towards pedestrians is excessively enthusiastic, as if she is impatient to marry pedestrians, why? I always feel that there is a secret in this that cannot be explored!
When I encountered such a thing, I was not in the mood to walk slowly, so I jumped up a few stone steps with a slight leap and rushed up quickly.
As soon as I arrived outside the torii gate of the shrine, I saw that Suzu and the pedestrians were ready to leave.
"I thought you were going back, but I didn't expect you to really come up." The pedestrian looked at me suspiciously, always feeling something strange, but he didn't seem to have time to think about anything else.
"Let's hurry up! Pedestrian! Suzu grabbed the passerby's hand, like a child who had gotten what he wanted the most, and couldn't wait to go back.
"Wait! Xiao Ling, idle him ...... "I looked at the pedestrians who were dragged away by Xiao Ling, waved my hand and didn't say anything, finally you still remember to care about me, you have a heart, boy."
"You're just another boy from outside the island? So cute! I was still waving to passers-by, and suddenly I was picked up, and a mature big sister rubbed my face with her face and asked, "Little brother, what are you doing at the shrine?" Aren't you curious about the Sea Dragon King enshrined in our shrine? ”
I let her hold me, although I was a little unhappy in my heart, but deep down in my heart I was still secretly happy. I said lightly, "I want to see some of the records of your shrine, isn't it really?" ”
"As long as you want, you can watch it as much as you want." Probably because I didn't like to be held, my eldest sister put me down and smiled at me and said, "But you don't understand it, little brother?" Do you want my sister to read it to you? ”
I'm only now seeing each other's appearances clearly.,Looks like Ayane and Asachi.,It seems that it's either their sister or their mother.。 I refused without hesitation for this unknown big sister's request, I've lived for thousands of years, if I still can't read your words, why should I be a teacher to Ichigo?
"Here is the record of the sacrifices of Lanlan Island over the years, and there are also some records of big and important events." The eldest sister who asked me to call her Chizuru pushed open the door of a small house, pointed to the scroll inside and said to me, "Because we are a shrine here, we don't record too many other things, if you want to know the history of Lanlan Island, you can go to Chikage, their family has always been responsible for recording the history of the island." ”
"I'm sorry for you, I want to take a look here first, Sister Chizuru, you go and get busy." I said to her politely, and then picked up a scroll and looked at it. Although the handwriting on it is very sloppy, and it is still a hundred years ago, I studied it in the world of the Grim Reaper, and my memory is very strong after developing my brain, and it is completely stress-free to read.
Sister Chizuru brought me refreshments, and when she saw that I was looking seriously, she didn't bother me, and left with a smile on her mouth. I sensed that she had left the shrine, and began to flip through it quickly, and I had the ability to read books very quickly.
It's a pity that even if I read all the books here, there is no record of enchantments, and many things are very vague. For example, the incident of men being carried away by the waves twelve years ago is just a passing mention here, which is completely unreasonable! But come to think of it, this is supposed to be a place for everyone to look through, and it is impossible to put the records of all kinds of hidden things here casually.
But you even put the practice method of the witch here, and even how to summon the god of the way is really a big man? Although it is said that without strong spiritual power, there is no way to use the spells inside, but there are ignorant guys who can't help but summon strange things casually!
Shaking my head a little disappointed, I put the scroll back in its place, and although I didn't have much hope, I was still disappointed. Actually, it's not impossible for me to ask Chizuru about the enchantment that envelops the entire island, but I really don't want to attract too much attention, mainly because I would find it very troublesome in that case!
My affairs have always been solved by myself, and in Dragon Ball, I practiced alone to break the space, and I waited for the Broken Jade to mature in the Grim Reaper, and I didn't call anyone to help. This time, I was still looking for a way to leave, and I was still dealing with it alone, not to mention that no one could help me.
Because the people in the shrine don't know where to go, they don't have to worry that someone will come to the shrine to make trouble, the whole island is so big, everyone worships the Sea Dragon King, who will run to make trouble? Those animals seemed to have more respect for the Sea Dragon King than humans, and it was even more impossible for them to come. However, they were not there, so I had to leave a note and leave alone, and as for the statue of the Sea Dragon King, which Sister Chizuru had invited me to see, I was not interested in it at all. If I'm not mistaken, I even saw the deity when I first arrived on the island, and I still need to see a statue?
Speaking of which, the people here are really versatile, there are full-time carpentry families, and there is also a workshop specializing in papermaking, and I heard Lingling's mother say that her sister is still in charge of the fireworks making workshop on the mountain......
When I got home, I saw Xiaoling eating red beans with tears in her eyes from a distance, and I felt very strange, why did I feel sad when I was eating something I liked?
"Pedestrian, what's wrong with Suzu?" I asked the pedestrian curiously, Xiaoling has not stopped talking now, and she has no time to answer when she asks her.
The pedestrian scratched his face in embarrassment, glanced at Suzu and explained to me, "Suzu fell for Ayane's prank, ate something super spicy, and spoiled her tongue." Now I can't eat my favorite taste of red bean Daifuku, I'm sad, and I have to eat it......"
The pedestrians and I are speechless, Xiaoling, how persistent are you to the red bean Daifuku? Don't you think it's troublesome to eat even though you can't taste it, because you can't eat it and you're in tears? Isn't it the same to wait for the spicy feeling to pass before eating?
"Well, you take good care of her, I'll go take a bath first." I shook my head, patted the passerby on the shoulder, and walked towards the bathroom.
"Whew....." I leaned on the side of the bath and exhaled, "If you don't have one at the shrine, let's go to Chikage and have a look, hoping to find a little clue, but if it doesn't work, I'll have to use the last resort." ”
Of course, my last method is not to break the barrier directly, but to take some time to open a way out from the bottom of the sea, and imagine an underwater caving machine, there is no pressure on me, I don't believe that you will even wrap the soil layer under the seabed if you break the barrier! It's just that this method can only be the last resort.,Now there aren't too many people who are idle and dive to play.,Whoever I found the exit I dug out.,Found that the existence of Lanlan Island is a very serious problem.。
"It's a big deal to blow up that hole before I leave this world." I muttered and dived underwater.
"Oh? You guys were helping Sister Chizuru find Ayane? The reward is fifty red bean Daifuku? During the meal, the passerby told me what happened today, and I complained to Xiao Ling, who had no appetite: "Even if it is a delicious thing, you should not eat so much at once!" How obsessed are you with Azuki Daifuku!? ”
And I ate fifty of them as soon as I ate them, although I wanted to share them with us, but looking at the way you kept stuffing them into your mouth, why didn't I and the pedestrians want to grab food with a girl, right? I looked at the little bell's bulging belly a little helplessly, aren't you afraid of gaining weight? But there are so many things to do every day and a lot of physical strength, it's really hard for you to get fat, but that's not an excuse for you to be greedy!
"I guess I'll have stomach trouble in the middle of the night, so I'll take advantage of the fact that it's not dark yet, go to the elder woman and get some medicine to cure my stomach." Shaking his head helplessly, I was still very worried that Xiaoling's body couldn't stand it, so I went out to find medicine after eating.
But I obviously underestimated Suzu's body, and she didn't feel any discomfort until the next day, when her stomach had returned to its original state!? Could it be that Suzu, you have a little bit of Saiyan blood in your bloodline?
