Chapter 6: Obon

Jiang Hao saw the controversy on the Internet, and he didn't care about those doubts.

In these years, fake news is everywhere, and the credibility of TV reporters is seriously lacking, and even if a video is released, people who have not experienced it in person still have doubts about the 'miracle' after seeing the video.

After all, the science on the blue star is denying the existence of God, and the vast majority of people who have received scientific education do not believe that God really exists, even those who hold the idea of 'rather believe that there is something than believe that there is none', most of them think in their hearts that 'God does not exist'.

To destroy their three views, it is still very difficult to rely on a video.

"But when miracles bloom everywhere, I'm not afraid that the people on the blue star won't refresh the three views. ”

"Next, it's Heijokyo. ”

"Obon, Hyakki Night Walk!"

......

Pingcheng Jingdong.

As the majestic temple disappears in the night, men and women dressed in traditional Toei costumes sing and dance in the firelight to celebrate the undead of their ancestors who have come out of the Yellow Springs and into the present world.

Outside the rows of houses, white lanterns hang high.

Legend has it that at this time of year, the Yellow Springs are intertwined with the world, and the deceased will step on the Yellow Springs Hirazaka and come to the present world.

At this time, white lanterns were hung so that ancestors could find their homes under the guidance of the lights.

In front of a low wooden house, the two white lanterns hanging in front of the wooden house did not know when they went out, and an old man calmly stood at the door over the white lanterns.

The old man, dressed in a white robe, looked like a wealthy merchant from the Edo period, with a bare head and an old monk in the temple, raised his bony fingers and placed them in front of the door, knocking rhythmically.

"Knock knock. ”

Ritsuko Tanimura heard the voice and walked out of the house, she was stunned when she saw the old man, and asked in a low voice, "Are you?"

The corners of the old man's lips were slightly hooked, and his palm, which was covered with brown spots, touched Ritsuko Tanimura's wrist, "I'm your grandfather." ”

After Ritsuko Tanimura was touched by the old man, her head was dizzy, and she followed his words in a daze, "It's grandpa,"

She didn't know the old man at first, but now the more she looks at it, the more familiar she feels, as if she is a person who has not been masked for a long time, and she didn't react when she suddenly met, but slowly remembered who he was.

Ritsuko Tanimura led the old man into the house, and the old man was as graceful as if he had returned to his own home.

He sat at the dining table eating sushi and drinking tea, commenting on the advantages and disadvantages of these foods from time to time, and Ritsuko Tanimura was like his grandfather, serving the old man before and after the saddle.

It wasn't until Kyosuke Tanimura returned home that he looked at his sister serving an old man who didn't know where he came from, and exclaimed in surprise, "Ritsuko, who is this guest?"

"He's a grandfather. Tanimura Ritsuko thought in a daze: Why doesn't my brother even know my grandfather?

"Grandpa, didn't our grandfather die early?"

was said by Kyosuke Tanimura, and Ritsuko Tanimura woke up suddenly.

That's right, grandpa died a long time ago, how could he be grandpa?

Ritsuko Tanimura turned her head to look at the old man eating and drinking leisurely at the table, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that he was unfamiliar, and she didn't have the familiarity she had at the beginning.

Thinking that she had just thought that he was very familiar with him, and that he was her grandfather, Ritsuko Tanimura's heart trembled, and this situation reminded her of a kind of monster in myths and legends - slippery head ghost.

It is said that the slippery head is a youkai transformed from an octopus in the sea, and he will often sneak into human homes to eat and drink, and the humans he sneaks into his home often can't help but think that he is the master of the family, and not only will not drive him out, but will also give him a warm welcome.

The only thing that reassures Ritsuko Tanimura is that the slippery head is a very kind youkai that does not harm others except by sneaking into human homes to eat and drink.

"Who are you?" Kyosuke Tanimura asked with a fierce gaze as he realized something was wrong.

"I'm your grandfather. ”

The old man waved his sleeves.

The two siblings, Kyosuke Tanimura and Ritsuko Tanimura, were dizzy, and they forgot about their vigilance and ferocity just now.

They all shouted, "Grandpa!"

Then he served the slippery head diligently.

While the siblings Kyosuke Tanimura and Ritsuko Tanimura were bewitched by the slippery head ghost, the legendary youkai also appeared in other parts of Heijo East.

A group of children jumped through the streets.

Someone took a curious look at it, and suddenly their scalp was numb.

These children are children, their hair grows to the nose, and the ends of the hair are parted to reveal a single eye, which is different from normal human eyes on both sides above the nose, and their one eye is long in the center of the eyebrows, horizontally or vertically.

"Mountain boy....... The passerby recognized the mountain boy and immediately turned around and covered his eyes.

Legend has it that Nakayama Tong is a youkai that haunts the mountains, and when the day of the night walk of the hundred ghosts comes, the mountain children will descend from the mountains in groups, pass through human cities, and reach the deep river, becoming kappa.

Although the mountain boy is a monster with no malice towards humans, he can only play pranks and never take the initiative to hurt people.

However, if humans don't immediately turn around and cover their eyes when they see it, they will get sick for some reason, so Yamado is one of the most unpopular youkai.

Outside a tall building, a tall woman wearing a traditional kimono and wearing a Shimada bun on her head walked into the building with a snow-white face.

As soon as she entered, she attracted the attention of everyone in the building, both men and women, who stopped and saluted her as their eyes swept over her.

It's not that she's too beautiful, it's that she's too tall.

In Dongying, where the per capita height is only 1.56 meters, the figure of 1.78 meters is already tall.

But this woman's height is at least two meters five or six.

What's even more peculiar is that in her height of two meters five or six, her legs account for at least two meters.

Everyone likes long-legged girls, but if these legs are longer than people, it will be strange to like them.

The tall woman stopped at the elevator door, and when the elevator door opened, she bent down and looked inside, her snow-white eyebrows twisted, and the white powder fell down.

But she didn't care, "This elevator is so short, how can I take it?"

"You can take the stairs. Someone in the crowd took the tall girl's words.

"You all take the elevator, why do you want me to take the stairs, are you discriminating against my height?" the tall woman was furious.

Without waiting for someone else to reply, the tall woman stretched out her hand and stuck it on the elevator.

In an instant, flames swept in.

In the firelight, the tall woman laughed wildly.

"Death to anyone who discriminates against my height. ”
