8. Sakurabuki at Gotokuji Temple(1/2)
The tram stops slowly on the platform of "Haod Temple Station".
The passengers waiting to get on the bus had already squeezed on both sides of the car doors, waiting for the people on the bus to get out, and immediately got in.
"I heard that there are many lucky cats in Haode Temple, so I will pay my respects this time."
"I can understand your desire for money, but that's a blessing cat."
"Zhaofu Cat? That's obviously the lucky Cat. It's holding its paws and squatting, exactly the same... Alas, wait, it seems that it's really different."
The man and woman who walked down while talking slowed down the pace of the station that was coming and going.
The man staring at the huge lucky cat at the exit of the station, he smiled a little when he spoke, handsome and clear, making people feel close and seemed to have seen it somewhere.
Walking beside him was a girl with a cold and gentle face and long black hair.
Her back was straight, but she did not give her a sense of toughness or awesomeness. Instead, she felt lightly and felt a sense of separation from the world that would go with the wind at any time and be free from the world.
Looking at them, the crowd's eyes are always subconsciously captured.
"The lucky cat raises his left hand and the copper coins in his right hand. The lucky cat raises his right hand." Yuan Qingsu, who was watched by everyone, told Shen Lin Yuzi what he found.
He had become accustomed to the attention of the people around him, but he had seen more people when he walked with Shen Lin Yuzi.
Haode Temple is a bit remote. The two of them walked in the alley for a while, and occasionally they could see passers-by with divine power in their bodies along the way.
Housewife walking the dog;
Unemployed vagrants drinking canned beer;
Holding a SLR in his hand, he photographed the middle-aged man constantly at the cherry blossoms.
As if it were everyday scenes, these extremely ordinary people actually belong to a very small world.
Apart from these people in the circle, outsiders know nothing about this, and there is no need to know it.
When you walk into the temple, you can see wooden shelves everywhere, and the shelves are easily mistaken for the lucky cat.
"I thought about it carefully. Anyway, they are all cats and their postures are so similar. You don't need to worry too much about whether it attracts wealth or blessings." Yuan Qingsu said.
"If it was to attract wealth, the pre-war meeting would not be chosen here."
"What era is it? Miss Shen Lin still believes in these?"
"I'll visit the temple master, you'll wait for me here." Shen Lin Yuzi dropped this sentence and walked towards a Buddhist temple.
Yuanqingsu Station is in place.
This is a slate trail.
The cherry blossoms are blooming around, like pink light clouds floating on the ground, and the path turns into a gorgeous cherry blossom tunnel.
‘These guys will fight tomorrow.’ Yuan Qingsu looked at the cherry blossoms in front of her.
To deal with petals and branches, "Thunder and Fire Slash" should be the best choice.
The petals are dense, and the "flowing water slash" must be ready to go to avoid being surrounded.
"May I ask-" A voice came from behind, soft and innocent.
Yuan Qingsu retracted his gaze and turned around and turned around. At this time, a breeze blew from the south, as if it was raining, and the cherry blossoms fell in the sky.
"Ah, it's Sakura Bukiyo!" The girl in a kimono opened the folding fan in her hand and happily used the fan to pick up the petals.
The skin is as white as the first snow, the voice is sweet and lazy, the expression is charming and innocent, which makes people shake their minds and their heartbeats accelerate.
Too beautiful.
It's as beautiful as the Godline Yuko.
Yuan Qingsu always thought that the beauty of Shen Lin Yuzi was unique in the world, but the kimono girl in front of her was comparable to her.
The kimono girl noticed that Genyu was looking at her, retracted her gaze from the cherry blossoms in the sky, and glanced at him with a smile.
"Hu——" She blew gently into the fan, and the petals were radiating, carrying a burst of fragrance, and rushed towards Yuan Qingsu.
"Is the meeting held here?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes." Yuanchensu replied.
The kimono girl looked at Yuan Quinsu's forehead and suddenly burst into laughter, her laughter was pleasant.
"Idiot." She covered the corner of her mouth with a fan, revealing a pair of clear and bright eyes.
"Hmm?" Yuan Qingsu was stunned.
The girl didn't answer and turned away with a silver bell-like chuckling.
Yuan Qingsu looked at her back and she wore a red kimono and a black robe on her outside.
The outer robe is painted with extremely sophisticated and complex pictures, which are white cranes, appear vividly, spread their wings and fly, noble and luxurious.
In a blink of an eye, the snow-white crane disappeared at the end of the cherry blossom tunnel.
Shen Lin Yuzi came out of the Buddhist temple, walked to Yuan Qingsu, and looked at his forehead.
Yuan Qingsu raised her hand and touched her, and there were two more cherry blossom petals on her hand.
I don’t know if it fell from the tree or the kimono girl who just blew it up.
◇
The meeting was held in a Buddhist temple with a blue roof.
The crowd wearing all kinds of clothes sat in a circle layer by layer, and the old master of Haode Temple sat upright on his head.
As a divine witch, Lin Yuzi of course would not sit with the "ordinary people" and have a position on the left hand of the old throne.
Yuan Qingsu, as a follower, sat behind Shen Lin Yuzi.
The kimono girl I met in the Sakura Tunnel. She didn't know what she was, but was on the right side of the old master.
Although it is not the leader, the old master must signal to the two of them before speaking to show respect.
After a simple greeting, the old master of Haode Temple introduced the girl in kimono to everyone.
"This is Lord Himeguchi Shiliu Ye, the practitioner sent by Kansai to help us this time, and is also the witch of Ise Goddess."
"The witch of Ise Shrine?!"
There was a lot of discussion below, and there was noisy, either surprise or confusion, looking at the girl named Jigong Shiliuye.
From the conversation between the crowd, Yuan Qingsu learned that this kimono girl was one of the twelve witches.
Unlike the four great gods, the Thirty-Six Song Immortals ranked differently by their strength. The witches were selected by themselves by the strongest twelve gods.
Despite this, no twelve witches have ever been able to reach the level of the Thirty-Six Song Immortals.
At this time, a lady in a straight dress asked:
"Master Himeguchi, cherry blossoms are full of flowers in previous years, and Kyoto has come to some seven-time cultivators. Why are you here to help us this year?"
Practitioners have no realm and are ranked by the number of attacks. Thirty-six Song Immortals are all practitioners with more than thirty-six times.
This is an unofficial statement and is not accurate. Whoever is stronger and who is weaker or needs to actually fight.
For example, Shenlin Yuzi.
She has not made her debut yet, and is at the same time as Yuan Qingsu, but her strength is at least at the level of the immortal song. It is not clear whether she has reached the level of the God Lord.
It is said that the witches of the previous years lived for a long time - they were close to 25 years old, and were on the verge of being stronger than the Lord of God: those who died earlier were at the level of a fairy.
Shenlin Yuzi is only twenty years old this year.
Yuan Qingsu looked at Ji Miyuki Shiliu Ye wearing a white crane black kimono.
I don’t know how she is, as a twelve witch, her strength is compared with that of the god Lin Yuzi, who is a god witch.
After listening to the middle-aged noble lady practitioner's question, Ji Gong Shiliuye looked around everyone and said with a smile:
"In addition to participating in the pruning activity of [Muhua Kai Yaji], the purpose of my visit to Kanto this time is also to pursue Yagyu's three thousand sons at the order of the Lord of Kyoto."
"Yaoyu's three thousand sons? The only survivor of the Yagyu family, who produced the fairy in the 500s?"
"So it's her!"
"Have you actually come to Tokyo?"
Everyone here showed a clear look.
Yuan Qingsu leaned forward slightly and asked Shen Lin Yuzi in a low voice: "What is the Yagyu family?"
Before Shen Lin Yuzi could answer, the girl from the white crane black kimono seemed to hear it, and glanced at him from behind the fan with a smile.
I heard her say to everyone:
"A month ago, the Lord of Kyoto summoned all the ministers in Zichen Hall, and the head of the Yagyu family was late for no reason. The Lord of Kyoto ordered all the Yagyu family to be executed.
"Yao Sheng Sanqianzi is the princess of the Yagyu family. She was sent to Qingliang Hall since she was a child and served by the Lord of Kyoto. She was also the only person who was pardoned by the Yagyu family.
"On the third day of the death of the Yagyu family, Sanqianzi escaped from the palace and took away the treasure that was passed down from the Tang Dynasty and stored to this day - Xuanxiang Pipa."
After talking about the general situation, Ji Gong Shiliuye glanced at Yuan Qingsu with a smile again.
Finally, she said to everyone:
To be continued...
