After carrying out the purification of the heart, Lin Fan and the three of them can be regarded as entering the most important building in the shrine, the scope of the shrine, the floor of the courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, it seems that this temple is very old, and those bluestones have left deep traces of time.

The round platform erected in the courtyard was covered with traces of wind and frost, and in some places it had been eroded.

The priest was a middle-aged man, tall, with a pair of eyes that radiated bright light, and the whole person looked like a dusty aura, and only after Xue Chiyo entered the shrine hall did he say softly: "Miss, do you want to tell the head of the Ichisawa family that you are back?"

The priest was very kind, and after saying this, he smiled at Lin Fan on the side, but when he looked at Xiaoxue, a faint surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Don't bother, I'll go find him myself in a moment. Yukichiyo said with a smile, having already walked through the courtyard and came to the front of the worship hall.

At the entrance of the temple stands a sculpture of a pair of lifelike dogs, which are the guardians of the shrine and the messengers who ward off evil spirits.

The shrine hall is the most important part of the shrine building, divided into three parts: worship hall, coin hall, and main hall, as the name suggests, the worship hall is a place for special worship and prayer, the location of the coin hall is in the middle of the worship hall and the main hall, used to worship the coin silk, the main hall is the place where the god dwells, and usually has a god body, offerings, and imperial coins, generally speaking, it is strictly forbidden for humans to enter.

When a few people entered the worship hall, the priest retreated sideways, and Xue Chiyo began to "2 bows, 2 beats, 1 bow", first bowed his head and bent down at 90 degrees, bowed twice, and then put his hands together in front of his chest, but it was not as symmetrical as Buddhism stressed, but his right hand was slightly lower than his left hand, and he patted it lightly twice, and then bowed again to complete the prayer.

Lin Fan and Xiaoxue naturally learned well, especially the latter was still very interested.

The priest took the imperial seal from the table next to him, and wrote the word "worship" in large letters, and the names of the three people were written below, and handed them to the three people.

Immediately after that, he took out the ema and handed it to the three of them, (Ema: A wooden board used to write wishes in the shrine, and the ema with the wish written on it is hung in the ema concentration place in the shrine grounds, representing the wish to make a wish to the gods.) Originally black or white horses used to pray for good weather, they were later simplified to paintings depicting horses, and now most of them are small wooden plaques with shrine motifs and blank spaces for people to write their wishes. Xue Chiyo glanced at the ema, and threw it directly into the hands of the priest, it seems that he has no intention of writing a wish, and the same is true for Lin Fan, his wish ......

Even he didn't know what his wish was, and he also handed back the blank Ema.

Xue Qianyo glanced at Lin Fan in surprise, this guy doesn't look like the kind of person who will have no wishes, how can he hand in the "white scroll" like himself?

On the contrary, Xiao Xue was holding a pen with great interest and writing something on the painted horse, Lin Fan tilted her head and looked at it, only to find that what she wrote was actually "I want to be with Lin Fan's brother all the time", this simple sentence, there are two stickmen painted below, the tall stickman has Lin Fan's name on the top of his head, and the other is slightly smaller, and the stickman with braids on his head is marked with the word Xiaoxue.

Seeing this scene, Lin Fan's heart felt warm, and he had unconsciously become her dependence.

After the priest put Ema away, he gave each of them a talisman according to custom. Lin Fan sensed it slightly, and there was a trace of divine power sealed in that talisman, and wearing it on his body did have the effect of deterring imps, but it was also worthy of its name.

After the visit, the priest retreated, and Yukichiyo led the three of them through the path next to the coin hall and the main hall to the back of the shrine, where buildings from the Edo period appeared in front of them.

Shaded by green trees, Qiong stones stand on top of each other, the ground of the yard is covered with a layer of fallen leaves, and a gust of mountain wind blows, it flies like a butterfly.

Lin Fan realized that this shrine was much larger than it looked from the outside, and it was located in the depths of the island, so ordinary tourists rarely came here.

"What the hell is this place?" Lin Fan finally couldn't help but ask.

Yukichiyo glanced at him and said with a smile, "Finally can't help but ask me?" Miss Ben will tell you that this is the home of the Ichisawa family!

Lin Fan was stunned, no wonder he always had a feeling of being watched everywhere after coming here, but he didn't expect Xue Chiyo to bring himself directly back to the Ichisawa family's main family, the reason why he felt like being watched was probably because there were hundreds of family ninjas hidden in this Iga Shrine!

Xue Chiyo led him through the courtyard, came to the back of a temple, knocked on the door, and before he could speak, he heard the voice of an old man in the room, "Is the Jianyuan girl back?"

Xue Chiyo answered, pushed the door directly, Lin Fan and Xiaoxue also walked in, the room was empty, there was a layer of tatami mats on the ground, a floor table was placed near the wall, and some pastries were placed on the table, and next to him sat an old man with gray hair, who was looking at Xue Chiyo who came in with kind eyes.

The old man looked to be about sixty years old, his hair was gray, mixed with a lot of silver, the complexion of his face was very ruddy, like that of a child, his eyebrows were thick, his eyes were like wolf eyes, and he was wearing a black wide samurai suit.

The whole person sits there, giving people a feeling of vigor and relaxation.

The old man is the head of the generation of the Ichizawa family, Ichizawa Linblah!

As soon as Xue Chiyo entered the house, he sat down at the table on the ground, picked up the pastries on the table without any scruples, and ate them, obviously very casually in front of the head of the house.

Of course, the three-tailed civet cat jumped off her shoulder.

But Lin Fan is not so casual, after all, he is a family, but he is an outsider.

Yize Linchi looked at Lin Fan with a smile, his eyes condensed slightly when he touched Xiaoxue beside him, but his face did not change at all, and he said: "Is Xiaoyou a guest brought by Jianyuan?" Don't be nervous, I'm not an old-fashioned old man, sit down!"

"Thank you, the head of the Ichizawa family!"

Lin Fan thanked him, and sat down according to his words, but he was right opposite Yize Linchi, so the four of them happened to be sitting in four directions.

"I don't know your surname?" Ichisawa said with a smile.

"Lin Fan. "Lin Fan naturally has nothing to hide.

"Listening to Xiaoyou's name, it doesn't look like a person from my country, is it a friend of Huaxia?" Ichisawa Linchi looked very kind, with a smile on his face from time to time, not only really good-tempered, but also the legendary smiling tiger.

"The old man is well-informed, I did come from Huaxia, I accidentally fell into the sea when I was on the boat, and I tried my best to swim to the shore, but I fainted, but fortunately I was rescued by Miss Yukichiyo. "Lin Fan came casually with nonsense, whether you believe it or not, do you want him to say that it was bombed from the mythical Penglai Island?

"I see. ”

Ichizawa nodded, looked at Yukichiyo beside him, and said, "I heard that you are back, Fujikawa is estimated to be coming over soon! You two have indeed not seen each other for a while." ”

Xue Qianyo frowned when he heard this, as if he was not very happy, and said: "It's annoying, he has to stick to me every time I come back, it's because of this that I don't like to stay here, so I go to Qiuyue River!"

Ichisawa Linchi smiled and sighed lightly, "You also know the character of that kid in Fujikawa, and he is like this because he likes you too much." ”

Xue Chiyo said disapprerovingly, "Who wants him to like it!" He took a bite of the pastry in his hand and ate it.

Lin Fan on the side could hear the fire of gossip burning in his heart, it seemed that the little witch actually had a suitor? He couldn't help but imagine what kind of man would be able to stand the little witch's neurotic character.

The two inked on Ichisawa Fujikawa's question for a while, and Yukichiyo said, "Old man, do you know why I came back?"

Although Kenbuchi Xue Chiyo is a member of the Ichizawa family, she is not surnamed Ichizawa, her mother is the seventh daughter of Ichizawa Linchi, and she is the granddaughter of the head of the Ichizawa family, and the blood of the Ichizawa family also flows in her body.

In fact, for the three Genji families, in order to ensure that the family can spread out more branches and cultivate children who can have better cultivation talents, and sign a contract with Shikigami, the head of each generation of the family is like a stallion, in addition to being the person with the highest status in the family, he also shoulders the important task of adding fresh blood to the family.

The people who can sit in the position of the head of the family are basically the people with the highest cultivation talent in their generation, and if nothing else, when the previous head of the family dies, they will naturally take over the position of the head of the family.

Because their own cultivation talent far surpasses that of other members of the family, plus the Shikishen who signed the Shikishen covenant with them must be one of the most powerful Shikhijin, the bloodline in the body has been strengthened again, and it can be called the strongest in the family.

Only the descendants left by such people will have a better bloodline!

Therefore, almost every three heads of the family have more than a dozen wives, and in addition to the daily necessary cultivation and handling the affairs of the family, most of the rest of the time is spent with their wives in a life of shame.

It may sound very enviable, countless men may have fantasized about such a life of three wives and four concubines in their dreams, but when your life really becomes like this, you have to face the expectant eyes of a group of people every day, and face the eager eyes of your wives, then you will find that this kind of life is not as beautiful as you imagined.

The stronger the bloodline in the body, the smaller the chance of successfully conceiving an heir, this may be the law of nature, otherwise, those gods, ghosts, immortals and demons with an infinite lifespan, if they can successfully get pregnant with a few snaps, they don't know how many little immortals and demons there are in the Three Realms, how can those mortals live?

Even if he has many wives, he can be called a night and night, but the head of each generation will not leave too much blood.

After Lin Fan later learned about this incident, he also had the same thought at first, is there any harm in having more wives, but when he ......

Xue Chiyo's mother is the seventh daughter of Ichizawa Linchi, married to the Jianyuan branch of the family, and gave birth to her with excellent blood, and she was recalled to the family again, and she was also loved by Ichizawa Linchi.

After Ichizawa heard her words, he was silent for a moment before he said, "What? What did you find?" He knew that Yukichiyo must have discovered something extraordinary when he said this.

Yukichiyo said: "When I was about to arrive in Yamanashi Prefecture, there was a large ground collapse next to the track of the train I was taking, and each collapsed pit was nearly a thousand meters deep and nearly 100 meters in diameter, and there were more than a dozen. ”

She paused for a moment, and then said, "Old man, do you think this matter is possible......" Speaking of this, her face was already solemn.

After listening to her words, Ichizawa fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking, and suddenly said, "Is there a Shikigami bone under the hole?"

"Yes, there are hundreds of bones of Shikami under each big pit, and there are thousands of them in that area!"

Ichisawa Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, his brows furrowed tightly, and he sighed: "I'm afraid it's ......."

Xue Chiyo stopped eating, and her snow-white brows also furrowed, and she said softly: "When the ancient heavenly dome falls again, the earth will collapse again, revealing the bones of the gods buried underneath, and the race that destroys the paradise of the gods will appear......"

Lin Fan was puzzled when he heard it, listening to the meaning of the words of the two, what did those collapsed sinkholes and the bones of the gods seem to portend?

I couldn't help but ask, "Ichizawa family master, what are you talking about?"

There were a total of four people present, Xiao Xue obviously didn't care about this kind of thing, so he was the only one who didn't know, since Xue Chiyo was willing to say this in front of him, it meant that he was qualified to know the inside story of this matter.

After hearing his words, Yukichiyo turned his head to look at him and said, "Haven't you always wanted to know about the night walk of the hundred ghosts?

Turning his head to look at Ichisawa Linchi, he said, "Old man, I'm too lazy to talk about it, you can tell him!"

"Good!"

Ichizawa glanced at Lin Fan, just like Xue Chiyo could feel the power of the gods on Lin Fan's body at the beginning, he naturally could clearly perceive it, besides, he didn't think that Xue Chiyo would bring a useless person to the most important family of the family for no reason, since she did so, she would definitely have her intentions.

Ichizawa suddenly clapped his hands, and a crisp voice suddenly came out, and he said to him: "Xiaoyou only needs to sit quietly for a while, and you can solve your doubts." ”

Lin Fan didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Yize Linblazing Gourd, so he had to kneel at the table and wait patiently, and after a while, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps walking behind the house, and the door on the side was suddenly pushed open from the inside!

A miserable white face burst into his sight!
