The old woman of Sanssouci Pavilion said that she was the one who raised pheasants and grew up, which made Lin Yu have doubts in his heart.

Ah Yi had mentioned the name of the nurse before she died, she grew up with the pheasant, and the old woman in front of her was likely to be the common nurse of Ah Yi and the pheasant, so it is difficult to say which side of the person she is.

And this matter cannot be asked directly, so as not to make the other party vigilant.

Lin Yu was deep in thought, and these thoughts in his heart were not shown on his face at all, and he was still indifferent.

Tang Da on the side was a little impatient: "Since Fuji Takahiro is going to send the pheasant into the forest sea tonight, then we must act immediately, otherwise it will be too late!"

The old woman nodded, "That's right, you have to act today, and only today can I bring you into the Sanssouci Pavilion." ”

Tang Da sighed: "How do you say this?"

The old woman took a puff of her cigarette and was unhurried: "Today is the opening of the midyear festival, and a grand Bon dance party will be held in Honmaru to worship the ancestors, and the geisha of Sanssoucan will be led by me, and all of them will go to Honmaru to perform." ”

Tang Da sighed, and his face showed a sudden expression: "Then we will be mixed in the team of geisha, and we can sneak directly into Honmaru!"

The old woman suddenly laughed twice, and her eyes swept over the few people in front of her: "If this little girl puts on a kimono after makeup, she can get away with it, and if you men are mixed in with geisha, even fools can't fool you." ”

Tang Da was suddenly embarrassed: "Won't you bring some helpers?"

The old woman shook her head: "Honmaru has a strict rule that no one is allowed to follow in except for the geisha herself. ”

Lin Yu spoke: "Don't go around in circles, I know you have a way to take us into this pill, say it." ”

The old woman laughed twice: "Young people don't understand customs, it's really boring~"

"The performances on this day of the Midyear Festival are different from usual, and in addition to the Bon Odori, there will also be a night walk by Hyakki. ”

Yumi wowed: "Will there be a hundred ghosts walking at night tonight, I haven't watched this show for many years!"

Tang Da was a little puzzled: "What is the Night Walk of a Hundred Ghosts?"

"My mother-in-law is tired of talking all the time, let me explain. ”

Yumi hurriedly spoke: "The Midyear Festival is a Halloween Festival, so in ancient times, whenever the Midyear Festival was held, someone would dress up as a ghost and walk back and forth on the streets, and everyone would throw beans at him to represent the meaning of prayer. ”

"Because there are all kinds of ghosts dressed up, there was later a saying that a hundred ghosts walk at night. ”

Yumi smiled: "Actually, there are a lot of ghosts in it that are very cute, such as kappa, cats, I like them all~"

Lin Yu nodded: "Then you mean to let us dress up as ghosts on the street and blend into Honmaru?"

The old woman nodded: "Originally, it was supposed to be the people of the Imperial City Ninja Legion to play the role of the hundred ghosts, but it just so happened that there was an accident on the side of the Liuliyuan, and most of the ninja regiments were transferred out of the Imperial City, and the remaining people had to take care of the various checkpoints, so they had no time to undertake the parade of the hundred ghosts at night." ”

Tang Da nodded with emotion, if it weren't for making a big fuss in Liuliyuan in advance and luring away the ninja army in the Imperial City, he wouldn't have been able to get this opportunity to sneak into Honmaru now.

Sure enough, the cycle of cause and effect has its own fixed number in the dark.

"Honmaru issued a notice this morning to recruit 100 people in the castle town to hold a parade of 100 ghosts at night, and with the connections I have accumulated in the castle for decades, it will not be difficult for you to get three places. ”

Bang Bang Bang –

There was a knock on the door, and then a gentle woman's voice sounded from outside: "Mother-in-law, the tea is here." ”

"Come in. ”

The old woman responded, and her eyes swept over the four people in front of her: "After drinking tea, we will start to prepare, I will find someone to help you dress up as ghosts, and go to Honmaru with me after dark." ”

The door opened, and the kimono beauty before walked into the room with a tea tray and served hot tea to Lin Yu and the others one by one.

Then the old woman looked at Yumi: "As for you, you can put on a kimono and ...... with the girls in the pavilion."

Lin Yu interrupted her words when he opened his mouth: "Yumi doesn't need to enter Honmaru, she is outside to answer." ”

Yumi sighed, and she could see that she was a little unhappy, after all, there was a grand dance party in Honmaru tonight, and she could also see Hyakki Night Walk, which was her favorite show in her childhood.

However, Yumi's personality is very gentle, and Lin Yu has already spoken, so she will not object again.

The old woman laughed twice: "The little girl is a little unhappy, is it true that she won't enter the Honmaru with us?"

Yumi shook her head: "Thank you, mother-in-law, I'm not going, someone has to be outside to pick me up, and I won't know anything, after I get to Honmaru, it will only cause trouble for everyone." ”

Tang Da frowned: "Yumi girl, you have helped a lot along the way, and you definitely didn't cause trouble!"

Yumi nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Lin Yu's face was solemn and silent, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

It's still unclear whether this old woman is friend or foe, and it will be difficult to ensure safety if Yumi is handed over to her, so it's better to let her stay here in Joshita Town and stay out of the matter.

The Eighth Senior Brother in the rear had been silent, and everyone had almost forgotten his existence, and at this time he suddenly spoke.

"I'm going to pretend to be ...... What the hell?"

Yumi was frightened, and then remembered that there was a companion behind her.

"Do you want to try it out as a kappa, it's a cute youkai, I liked it the most when I was a child~"

The eighth senior brother lowered his head and shook his head: "Don't, it's so ugly......"

Tang Da sighed: "Old eight, where are the monsters not ugly, I will play the kappa with you, plus Lin Yu, let's be the three kappa brothers!"

Lin Yu rarely rushed to speak: "You can be a kappa, I'll choose the other one." ”

Yumi looked at Lin Yu with interest: "Mr. Lin, what kind of ghost are you going to choose, as long as there are Japanese myths, you can ~"

Lin Yu pondered slightly, and then spoke: "Then I'll choose, I don't know the fire." ”

After sitting for a while, everyone began to act, and Lin Yu alone told Yumi to stay away from the imperial city and go to the other side of the river, so as not to be involved.

Yumi agreed and drove away and went outside the city to wait for the pick-up.

The old woman ordered someone to find clothes for Tang Da and the eighth junior brother to dress up the kappa, and after the two of them put them on, they put a saucer on the top of their heads, which looked like they were indeed a pair of mentally handicapped kappa brothers, which attracted the geisha in the Sanssouci Museum to come to visit, and the laughter was endless.

The eighth junior brother lowered his head so much that he couldn't lower it any longer: "Big brother actually made me so ugly in order to please Yumi, I misjudged you......"

Tang Da's face was righteous: "Old eight, I am here to let you get in touch with the emotions of the outside world more, so that your autism will gradually improve." ”

Then he knocked on the plate above his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Yumi has left, and I didn't see my handsome and cute appearance." ”
