The place where the Flower God Festival is held is still some distance away from the Amaterasu Temple where they are located, but this distance is nothing to Takuma and Xu.

When they arrived at the small town where the festival was held, the parade floats were just pushed onto the avenue.

Both sides of the road were crowded with onlookers, including townspeople with various garlands on their bodies, and tourists who came here admiringly. Everyone had excited and joyful smiles on their faces.

Halfway through the journey, two waiter boys with painted faces carried a medium-sized earthen jar—which contained the petal dew that had been collected half a month ago—to the front of the float.Sitting in the float and playing the role of "Flower God", the cardamom girl stands up with a flower branch in her right hand, dips the flower branch into the dew in the earthen jar, then raises her hand, and sprinkles the water drops on the flower branch in three directions respectively. .After the dew representing "blessing, longevity and luck" was sprinkled, the surrounding crowd erupted into cheers and threw flowers and garlands into the air.

The "Flower God" returned to the seat of the float, and the two young waiters poured the dew in the crock on the pedestrians on the side of the road - implying "the blessing of the Flower God". Luck again and again.

And the pedestrians who were splashed by the dew all happily shared their joy with their relatives and friends around them.

"It's really lively." Xu and Tuozhen sat on the roof of the residential house where they were staying, watching the whole scene of the parade of floats condescendingly.

Tuozhen was smoking a cigarette boredly, and he responded very casually to express his approval.

"Shall we go down and rub the dew of 'blessing' too?" Xu Xu said to Tuozhen with a smile.

Tuozhen lay down with one hand under his head, and said uninterestedly: "I don't know if it stinks after leaving it for more than half a month. I won't go."

"How can you say that." Xu couldn't help but dragged Tuozhen up from the roof, "It's here anyway."

Xu took Tuozhen's hand and led him through the crowded crowd, stopping and watching at various special booths.Occasionally, I would buy one or two small gadgets that are easy to carry at some small stalls, and I heard that I was going to take them home with me.Takuma sneered at this, thinking Xu's behavior was just like an old mother who didn't know the so-called doting on her children.

"It's just a teacher's gift to Kaishan disciples."

"You are a teacher." Tuozhen pointed at his nose with a cigarette stick, "other people's teachers always give pens, inks, papers and inkstones to urge students to study hard. Look at what you gave yourself? Encourage him to eat well Drink well, sleep well and have fun?"

After Takuma said this, Xu looked at the snacks and exquisite wooden bird in his hand, touched his nose and felt guilty for no reason.

After walking around in the market for a while, Xu Xu prepared to take Tuozhen to the next place.

However, they obviously underestimated the density of the crowd at the festival.As soon as Xu raised his head from a certain booth, he was touched by the person next to him, and that person was also pushed over by the crowd behind him.

"I'm so sorry!"

"it does not matter."

The moment he turned around and accepted his apology with a false smile, he realized that Takuma, who was standing by his side, had been submerged in the vast crowd and disappeared.

It stands to reason that he and Tuozhen are not low in height, and if they usually walk in the crowd, they can basically be found by turning around.But the key point this time was at the festival. Many people wore tall hats decorated beautifully with various flowers, and some hats were even one meter high. As a result, it became difficult to find someone.

……

It was already evening when Xu found Takuma.

At that time, this guy was lying soundly asleep in the shade of a tree beside the flower field, and there was a garland woven of white plums on his body.

Huh?Could it be that a girl from some family threw this guy on him when passing by?

Xu, who had been stuffed with a lot of garlands by a few bold girls before, thought so, and didn't feel anything wrong at all, after all, Takuma's face was indeed quite pleasing.

It is said that on the day of the God of Flowers, the girls in the town will prepare many garlands that they have woven, and go shopping in the streets in groups. As long as they meet someone they like, they can give this garland out. Take it over and put it on your own head, which means you have accepted the girl's wishes.It can be said to be a very suitable day to confess...

However, as the culture is passed on from generation to generation, more and more people come to participate in the Flower God Festival. The confluence of internal and external cultures, and the alternation of old and new cultures, the meaning of "like" is becoming wider and wider.Some of the wreaths woven by the girls were given to relatives and friends, and some were given to loved ones.However, the two kinds of wreaths are different. Any kind of flower can be given to relatives and friends, but if it is given to the person they like, they will use a local white flower called "Xiqu", which has six petals. , the stamens are rouge-like red.

To be honest, Xu also received one or two garlands made by "Xiqu", but fortunately, he still remembered that Tuozhen told him about this custom at the beginning, and there was no big joke.

Speaking of which, Takuma is a guy who hides leisurely, and can fall asleep wherever he goes...

Reluctantly, Xu walked over and sat down next to him, put aside all the wreaths he received today, and looked at the various flowers swaying in the wind with one hand behind his back, suddenly felt that such a day was quite leisurely and comfortable.

"Have fun?"

"It's okay." Xu Xiao smiled and looked down at Tuozhen, "I thought you had already left."

Tuozhen opened his eyes, looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the west, and his tone was so calm that he seemed to be discussing with him what to eat today: "Of course I want to say hello to you."

"Really..." Xu leaned on the tree trunk with his whole body relaxed, looked up at the layers of leaves, and suddenly remembered that when he was young, when he was so hungry and greedy for the fruits hanging on the treetops, he inadvertently A small piece of clothing that fell from the gap between the leaves.

Didn't realize it's been so long...

"Will you come back with a new story?"

"You are no longer a child who can only fall asleep listening to stories."

Xu smiled helplessly and complained: "It's really merciless."

Tuozhen got up from the lawn, picked up the garland that fell from his body, and stuffed it into Xu's arms, "Here."

"Hey?" Xu caught the wreath that Takuma stuffed him with some surprise, blinked his eyes and asked in amazement: "Could it be that you made it up?"

Takuma nodded and responded vaguely.

Xu felt overwhelmed, and looked at the garland in his hand back and forth for a long time.When Tuozhen looked "You are not childish", and was about to grab it and throw it away, Xuyan quickly put the wreath on his head, and asked Tuozhen with a smile: "How is it? Is it suitable?"

Tuozhen looked at it a little seriously, and then said casually: "It's okay, it's good to put cow dung in flowers."

"........."

"puff."

"...You just laughed, right?^^"

"No." Indifference.jpg

"..." Only ghosts believe it!

……

The next day, when the first ray of sunlight sifted through the gaps in the leaves, I woke up.But at this time, Tuozhen had disappeared.

Xu was wearing the thick cloak that Takuma must have when going out, and the wreath that was worn on his head yesterday was placed well on his chest.Sensing a foreign object in his right hand, Xu lifted his cloak and saw a small white flower with red stamens and six petals lying quietly in his palm.

He froze for two seconds, then pinned the little flower into a garland woven from the local plums, and put it on his head.

"Fool."

Takuma has always known that there are some problems with his memory, and these problems seem to be caused by himself.

When he was found by Xu, he didn't remember Xu's name, nor his own name, but he remembered that someone once said to him "Stay by your side all the time", and he hasn't forgotten it until now.

This is a very abnormal thing.

If this sentence is the lock that locks all secrets, where is the key?

He asked Xu this question twice, but the lock was not opened.

Besides--

"Altana is the door."

These are the words that have been circling in his head all the time.

What exactly is the door?

It took a while for Tuozhen to come to the place Xu told him, where he was discovered.

He turned around the cave, and found a blocked Altana Gate unsurprisingly.After getting closer and observing carefully, the traces of the blockade still carried his own spiritual power.

That's where it should be.

The so-called door.

Since it is a door, it means that this is a place linking two spaces.If you want to peek at the scene in the door, you can only know it through the door.

However, as an Altana variant of a different planet, what would happen if you just fell into the Altana Gate on the earth, you don't even need to think about it.

However, Takuma always has confidence in himself. Since he himself said "Altana is the door", he should do as he said.

So without saying a word, he jumped directly into the gate of Altana.

……

"...Why...why does Takuma have to go through those 500 years?!"

"Mr. Bai Lan was free to peek into the parallel world, and then he discovered that if Takuma was directly thrown onto the battlefield of FOM, the probability of his personality being swallowed would be as high as 90.00% two."

"?!"

"Because Altana has the characteristics of devouring each other to complement itself, Takuma, as an Altana variant of a different planet, is a very delicious dish for the consciousness of the earth. In the next FOM war, what he faces Basically, they are the human pillars of the earth who are found by YVS and are similar to our situation. Although these human pillars themselves may not be Takuma's opponents, the earth consciousness behind these human pillars is not."

"You mean, what the earth consciousness might do to Takuma through these human pillars?"

"That's right. But what really devoured the personality of 'Okita Takuma' was not actually the consciousness of the earth."

"...It's his original planet...Is that why he has frequent nightmares?"

"Yes. The 'battle' between the planets will not take into account other things at all. If two kinds of Altana compete in Takuma's body, it will only be 'Takuma Okita' who suffers. After all, as a human being, In front of two planets that have survived for hundreds of millions of years, they are just insignificant dust."

"...but what does that have to do with sending him on a time travel journey?"

"Because for Takuma, what he lacks is time..."

……

An Ding hugged his body and sat in the test room of the second assessment, next to Xiuzhen who had fallen asleep leaning on him.He pulled up the haori on Xiuzhen's body, and then looked at the time-space conversion compass that still hadn't moved.

Although he also knew that the guy would come back when the time came, but after knowing all this from Songyang, he came here to wait.

Takuma is actually a very insecure guy.

This guy cares more about the people around him than he realizes.Songyang also commented that although Tuozhen has a clear heart, he is not good at expressing it.It's clumsy to say the least.

So An Ding really can't imagine how this person kept the idea that "Okita Takuma can't disappear" and spent more than 200 years of confusion.

Songyang put the spiritual shackles of "no meddling in anyone's life and death" on him at the beginning, but in fact, it also prevented this guy from going crazy.

But An Ding also felt that this also cut off the way for the violent rabbit to vent.

Wanting to get angry but having nowhere to go, it must be hard for Takuma, a guy who never knows how to restrain himself...

That being the case—

……

After falling into the gate of Altana, the expected pain did not inflict on him.Tuozhen only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and his feet stepped on the flat ground again.

Before he could see the scene in front of him clearly, a blue and white figure rushed towards him.

Even though Takuma had already touched the man's slender neck with his hands, the boy still hugged his waist without hesitation, buried his face in his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Welcome back, Okita Takuma. "

——In that case, when this guy comes back, just give him a hug.

Hearing this, Tuozhen's hands that were about to tighten suddenly paused, and the fragments of memory in his mind were pieced together bit by bit like going back in time, forming one scene after another with incomparably clear pictures, flashing quickly in front of his eyes one after another. Pass.

There are too many memories to be processed, and Takuma can't react for a while.

But his body moved before his brain—

He raised his hand on the boy's neck, held the back of his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm back."

"stable."

The arms around his waist tightened even tighter.
