A humble puja is over, but what has been extended by this puja has just begun.

Yuichiro Uesugi returned to the mansion of the Uesugi family with Uesugi Ginji and Uesugi Maki and Aoba, of course, the two bamboo tubes that were originally enshrined on the altar were also taken away, and they were held by Aoba and Uesugi Maki respectively, and at the same time, the two Shikkai of the golden fox and the spirit fox were always floating on the side of Aoba and Uesugi Maki, and Uesugi Yuichiro had to look back from time to time on the way back to see the existence of the golden fox and the spirit fox, as if only in this way could he confirm that all this was not a dream.

And Yuichiro Uesugi, who returned to the Uesugi family's house with a few people, did not let everyone disperse like this, but took three people to the outside of the house where he lived, and let a few people sit down in the corridor in front of the door, and then went back to his room alone.

A moment later, Yuichiro Uesugi came out of the room again, and with an extra box made of wood in his hand.

Aoba and Uesugi Maki, who had been waiting for Yuichiro Uesugi, looked at each other, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine Yuichiro Uesugi was selling in the gourd, only Uesugi Ginji might have been used to his father's always mysterious appearance, so he waited safely on the side.

"Aoba, Maki, first of all, I want to congratulate you on being recognized as a family-style god. Yuichiro Uesugi finally regained his composure after the initial surprise.

In the face of such congratulations, Aoba and Uesugi Maki were a little unsure of how to answer, plus Uesugi Yuichiro didn't seem to finish speaking, so the two just looked at Uesugi Yuichiro quietly, waiting for his next words.

"However, this is just the beginning!" said Yuichiro Uesugi as he seemed to be satisfied with the attitudes of Aoba and Maki Uesugi as he nodded.

"I wonder if you know about the existence of the Land of Trials?" Yuichiro Uesugi said.

"What is that?" said Uesugi Maki, puzzled.

When Aoba heard the name of the place of trials, he felt familiar, and immediately thought of it. Didn't Miyake Agni go to the Land of Trials on the recommendation of the Sanno family? Later, because of his good performance, he even transferred to the Land of Trials, and I don't know what kind of place it was.

"The place of trials is said to have been established a hundred years ago by a man with great powers, and with the prosperity of science in this world, more and more people no longer believe in the existence of various mysteries, so the place of trials established by that lord is said to be one of the last strongholds of people in the world such as us. You can go there for further study, but of course it is not enough to have a recommendation, and it is said that you need to go through various examinations in the place of trial to obtain the qualification for further study. Yuichiro Uesugi babbled something about the Land of Trials.

It can be seen that Yuichiro Uesugi only knows a little about the specific situation in the place of trials, and he has never been there at all, and he only knows about it through word of mouth in his family, but looking at Yuichiro Uesugi's fascination with the place of trials. Let's not talk about Aoba's reaction, at least Uesugi Maki is beginning to be interested in the place of trials.

"Grandpa, can I go to the Land of Trials?" asked Uesugi Maki looking at Yuichiro Uesugi hopefully.

"Of course, my Uesugi family is in decline. But he still retains the qualification to recommend the children of the family to the place of trial, but it is okay to recommend, but whether you can stay there depends on the two of you. Yuichiro Uesugi looked at Aoba and Maki Uesugi with a worried expression. All he was thinking about was how the two of them could stay in the Land of Trials, and he didn't think at all about whether the two of them would be reluctant to go.

If you want to ask Maki Uesugi, you can know from her performance at this time. She must be willing to go, but when it is Aoba's turn, it is unknown whether she is willing to go.

However, Aoba was not in a hurry to refuse, anyway, the initiative was in his hands, what kind of trial place was not Longtan Tiger's Den, it was good to go and see, and if he didn't like it, he would just quit directly, who could stop him.

And to be honest, Aoba is really a little curious about this so-called place of trials, and wants to take a look, especially the so-called person with great supernatural powers a hundred years ago, Aoba wants to know who that person is.

"Grandpa, we'll do our best. Uesugi Maki said to Yuichiro Uesugi with an impassioned face, obviously not thinking about the question of whether Aoba would be willing to go.

Aoba can only sigh in her heart about this, and don't worry about her, after all, from the position of Uesugi Maki, she really can't imagine that anyone will refuse this kind of thing that seems to happen in comics.

At this moment, Uesugi Maki confirmed the existence of the world in the world, and instantly degenerated into the state of the second middle school girl of the year.

"But before you go, I have one more thing to give you. It was only then that Yuichiro Uesugi solemnly handed over the wooden box in his hand to the two.

"Grandpa, what is this?" said Maki Uesugi puzzled.

"This is the Onmyoji cultivation method inherited by our Uesugi family, you two must cultivate well, but be careful not to spread it. Yuichiro Uesugi explained solemnly.

"Okay, we'll be grandpa. Uesugi said with excitement on her face.

Although she has obtained a more sophisticated cultivation method from Aoba, Uesugi Maki looks at the cultivation method in the wooden box in her hand, but she feels that it is more reliable than the USB disk that Aoba gave her.

Thinking that the ancient is the wise, this kind of habitual thinking, even Uesugi Maki is no exception.

Aoba didn't bother to correct her, anyway, after she saw this so-called cultivation method, and even practiced it for a while, she would naturally know that she hadn't lied to her.

Aoba and Uesugi Maki, who got the ancestral cultivation method of the Uesugi family from Yuichiro Uesugi, finally got out and left under Yuichiro Uesugi's instructions.

However, in addition to taking the cultivation method in the wooden box, the two also got a recommendation from Yuichiro Uesugi, which was a letter of recommendation written by the ancestor of the Uesugi family with special powers, as long as they took this letter of recommendation and handed it to the place of trial, the people in the place of trial would naturally be able to distinguish the qualifications of Aoba and Uesugi Maki from the letter to enter the land of trial.

In this way, Aoba and Uesugi Maki returned to their rooms, and one held the cultivation method in the wooden box and studied it. The other studied the letter with interest.

Naturally, it's Uesugi Maki who studies the cultivation method, and it's Aoba who studies the faith.

For Maki Uesugi, it was just an ordinary letter, and after spending the initial curiosity, there was little interest. But Aoba could feel a special power from this letter, which was weak but interesting.

It's like an encrypted password program.,So that Aoba as if he got an interesting toy to study carefully.,And in the process of researching,Aoba became more and more curious about the place of trial.。

In this way, Aoba and Uesugi Maki each studied something of interest in their own rooms. Time passed quietly, and soon it was lunchtime.

However, the two of them didn't need to go to the dining hall for lunch today, because according to Yuichiro Uesugi's order, Miss Sato brought the food of the two directly to the room of the two for them to eat.

It is said that Yuichiro Uesugi made this decision in order not to delay the two of them studying the ancestral cultivation techniques of the Uesugi family.

It can be said that for Yuichiro Uesugi, who is very particular about the rules, being able to make the decision to let the two of them eat in their own room without having to come to the dining hall can also show that the current Aoba and Uesugi Maki have an important position in Yuichiro Uesugi's mind.

So Aoba and Uesugi Maki, who were still immersed in their respective worlds. Just like that, Miss Sato, who came to deliver lunch, interrupted her train of thought, and it was only then that the two realized that it was already noon and it was time for lunch.

Aoba is fine, but Uesugi Maki is at the moment of seeing lunch. His stomach rumbled.

"Thank you so much, Miss Sato. Uesugi thanked Miss Sato with a grateful face.

"Maki-chan, come and eat, so is Aoba-kun, do you want to eat in the room, or under the hallway?" stood on the wooden floor outside the door of the two-person room. On the top is the sloping eaves, and on the other side is the flowers and plants in the courtyard, Miss Sato asked.

"Let's eat out too! Aoba stretched and walked out of the room.

"Yes, that's right. It's nice to eat while the wind blows!" said Maki Uesugi as she walked out of the room.

"Alright then, you're ready to eat here. As she spoke, Miss Sato put down the two low tables in her hand, and on them were Aoba and Uesugi Maki's lunch.

So after Aoba and Uesugi Maki sat down, they said "I'll start and start eating."

"Well, Miss Sato's food is still so delicious. Uesugi said with a happy face.

"Yes, I've wanted to say that for a long time, but when my grandfather is there, I can't talk during dinner. Aoba shrugged and complained.

"Yes, it's best if you like it, eat more!" said Miss Sato, who knelt down next to her and looked at the two of them with a smile on her face.

"Did Miss Sato eat? Would you like to eat some together?" Aoba invited as she looked at Miss Sato, who was quietly watching her eat on the side.

"Yes, Miss Sato should eat a little bit too!" Uesugi Maki also invited.

"No, no, I've already prepared my own meal, just go back and eat it yourself, you can eat your own. Miss Sato said, waving her hand.

But even though she said that, Miss Sato watched the two of them eating their own food there, without the slightest intention of leaving, obviously waiting for the two to eat and clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

However, Aoba saw something different from Miss Sato's expression, and it was obvious that Miss Sato at this time seemed to have something on her mind.

In this way, it was not until Aoba and Uesugi Maki finished lunch, and Miss Sato packed up the dishes and chopsticks of the two of them, and was about to leave, that she looked at Aoba and Uesugi Maki with some hesitation, and looked like she didn't know whether to speak.

"Is there something wrong with Miss Sato?" Aoba smiled, he still had a good impression of this Miss Sato, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Actually, it's a bit of a thing, I don't know if I should say it or not. Miss Sato smiled a little embarrassed and said.

"Miss Sato, is there something wrong? Let's just say it, if there's anything you can say? Uesugi Maki only then discovered Miss Sato's abnormality.

"Seriously, Miss Sato is actually still my elder, after all, you are a friend who grew up with your mother, so you can just say anything. Aoba looked at Miss Sato and said.

"Then I'll just tell you straight, I heard that Aoba-kun and Maki-chan have been recognized by Shikigami-sama?" Miss Sato kept looking at Aoba and Uesugi Maki's expressions, as if she wanted to guess something from the expressions of the two.

For Miss Sato to know about this, Aoba is not surprised, after all, he is a person who serves the Uesugi family, and it is natural to understand the traditions of the Uesugi family, and the fact that Aoba and Uesugi Maki obtained the Shikigami is naturally not a secret from Miss Sato, who has been serving the Uesugi family.

"That's right, Maki-san and I have already been recognized. So Aoba nodded indifferently and admitted.

"It's just this morning, Miss Sato should know, grandpa took us to the temple to hold a puja this morning. Uesugi Maki, who was still a little hesitant, admitted it when he saw Aoba so refreshing, so he also admitted.

"Well, actually, I have a reluctant request. Miss Sato hesitated again.

"Miss Sato, please tell me, as I just said, if you are serious, you are still my elder. Aoba said with a smile.

"Actually, I want to meet the legendary Shikigami-sama, what is it like?" Miss Sato, with Aoba's encouragement, finally said what she thought.

Miss Sato, as a person who has been serving the Uesugi family, naturally has heard a lot about the Uesugi family's gods, and it used to be just a story, but today she suddenly found that this seems to be more than a story, but real, so it is natural to be so curious.

Aoba and Uesugi Maki glanced at each other, and Aoba immediately laughed.

"I thought it was something, but was it just that? Of course it was fine. Aoba readily agreed again.

"Is it really possible?" Miss Sato, who was still apprehensive, suddenly lit up her eyes. (To be continued.) )
