The famous shrine that Mori Ogai mentioned is indeed very famous. It can be seen from the number of tourists visiting that today is not a special day, but there are many people who come to the shrine.

Because he was worried that the little girl would be hit by someone, Zhong Ye could only carry her into the shrine. After all, Zhi Ji was only as tall as his knees now.There are too many tourists, Zhiji looks around, and can only see the legs of tourists coming and going. This perspective will make people feel very insecure.

The adults with children around are basically hugging their own children, and Zhongye has no sense of disobedience among them, especially he and Zhiji are both dressed in black, which unexpectedly looks very parent-child attire.

The reason why this shrine is very famous is because there is a very famous maiden, who is said to be able to communicate with the gods and convey wishes for the people.Zhong also looked at the real god in his arms, and felt that the rumors were probably false, but this did not prevent him from asking about the imprint.

There are a lot of people who want to meet the shrine maiden every day. The shrine maiden does not meet everyone. She claims that she only selects some destined people to meet each day, but in fact, these so-called destined people are tourists who have donated a lot of incense money to the shrine.

This can't be helped, the witch has to eat too.

As soon as Chuya arrived at the entrance of the main hall of the shrine, he asked the boy who served him and told him his name. The boy immediately understood, put down the broom in his hand, and took Chuya to the apse.After all, when the port mafia contacted here before, they gave a large sum of incense money, enough to renovate the shrine this year.

"Mr. Chuya, this shrine no longer has a god." The little girl whispered to Zhongya in a low voice.

"En." Zhong also nodded to indicate that he knew, and he didn't expect this shrine to have a god.

The two whispered, and followed the boy all the way to the room behind the shrine where outsiders were forbidden to enter. The woman wearing a white top and a red witch costume was sitting on a cushion with a chessboard in front of her. It seemed that she should have compared herself and herself play chess.

Seeing someone coming, the witch showed a faint smile, "Sir, what do you want to ask?" Her voice was cold, just like her impression, her eyes swept over Zhiji, and she paused for a moment , I don't know if I found something, I frowned slightly.

Zhong Ye sat down opposite her with a blank face, placed the little girl in his arms, and stretched out his right hand to show the other party, "Can you see the mark on my hand?" If you can't see it, then everything can be avoided up.

The witch came back to her senses and looked at Chuya's right hand, "God Seal?" She looked up at Chuya in surprise, "Have you made a contract with the gods?"

"Well, I want to know how to deal with this purple symbol." Zhong also didn't want to talk too much about Zhiji, and asked his own question lightly.

The witch was still in shock when someone made a contract with the gods. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, "Where is the god who made a contract with you?"

Chuya frowned slightly, "I just want to know if you can deal with this purple symbol, because of this symbol, she cannot enter the mark."

The witch froze for a moment, and realized that she seemed to have crossed the line, "Sorry, I don't mean anything malicious, I once made a contract with a god..."

She once made a contract with a god, who was enshrined in this shrine, but the god was already very weak at that time, and the shrine was also very barren at that time, few people came to visit, and the power of faith was decreasing day by day. The god is also getting weaker and weaker. The young girl signs a contract with the god, and when she grows up, she will carry forward the shrine and let everyone believe in him.Unfortunately, before she could fulfill her promise, the god disappeared.

In this era, even though most people still have the custom of worshiping shrines during Chinese New Year, it is just a custom, and not many people really believe in the existence of gods.

"Your power of faith alone cannot sustain the gods to come alive. The gods need the faith of more people." The witch sincerely warned, just as she failed to make her gods come alive, "There are almost no gods in this era. The existence of the gods, if you want, I can help you."

Zhong also understood the meaning of the other party, but he had vaguely realized that Chihime was different, at least different from ordinary gods, so he did not accept Miko's kindness, "Thank you, but I don't need it for now, We have more important things to attend to."

Seeing this, the Miko didn't feel compelled, everyone has their own future, she sighed, and turned her eyes to the imprint on Chuya's hand again, on the beautiful golden iris imprint, there was a strange shape like two crossed long swords. The purple symbol of the sword is particularly prominent.

"Although I haven't seen this symbol, but generally there is very little power that can be exerted on the seal of the gods. If this symbol prevents your gods from entering the contract, it is likely that your body is in a state of repelling the gods. I know, before In order to show their resistance to the gods, Western pagans usually engrave an inverted cross on a conspicuous place on their bodies, and this purple symbol probably has a similar meaning." The witch said her own guess.

"Is there a way to deal with it?" Zhong also only cares about this.

The witch shook her head apologetically, "Sorry, I don't know much about this, and I can't think of a solution for the time being, but generally speaking, this power is on you and will not affect the gods, so don't worry too much about it. .I’ll think of a way again, and I’ll let you know as soon as I find a way.”

Zhong couldn't hide his disappointment, but he still thanked him politely, "Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you."

As he spoke, he stood up and prepared to take the little girl away. Since the witch has nothing to do for the time being, the matter of the imprint can only be put aside for now.

Zhiji also looked unhappy, and wrinkled her little face. Now that she is younger, the baby fat on her face is more obvious, and her little face is chubby, wrinkled like a little bun.

"Mr. Chuya, don't worry, it's okay." The little girl softly comforted Zhongye, imitating how Chuya used to comfort herself, and patted the other person's head. She knew that Chuya was also worried that she would be unsafe outside, but , she is a god, but in fact she will not die.

Zhong also froze for a moment, he didn't expect that one day he would be comforted by Zhiji, "En."

Seeing the figures of the two leaving, the witch suddenly realized Zhiji's identity. She lowered her eyes and suppressed the pity in her eyes. There is no future for gods and humans, and one party is destined to leave first. I can only live the rest of my life with memories.

"Master Miko." The boy from the shrine suddenly came in from the door and called out respectfully.

"Alai, what's the matter?" The witch smiled slightly.

"Alai would like to ask, is it the same as before tonight? The gentleman who just left, they gave a lot of money." Xiaotong said seriously.

"Well, remember to leave the mark of God." The witch smiled and asked, people, most of them are very realistic, and they are willing to believe in the existence of gods only if they are given practical benefits.

She secretly took most of the property received by the shrine to help the poor, and left the mark of the gods, making them think that the gods are helping them. This is also the way she said that she can help Chuya. This The power of faith collected by the method may not be pure enough, but it is still very important for weak gods.

"I hope you can have a better ending." She muttered to herself.

Chuya and Jihime who have already left naturally don't know what the witch is thinking. Although Chuya feels that the problem of the imprint cannot be solved, which is a headache, but things are already like this, and he will not worry too much. Just pay attention to protecting Zhiji.

Now there is another problem, that is, the little girl does not have a hunter's license, and she thought that she could hide in the mark and bring her in. Now, this method is no longer feasible, so how can he bring Zhiji to the restricted area? to go.

Zhongye was walking down the mountain with Zhiji in his arms, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a young man carrying a cat bag. The kitten in the cat bag poked its head out of its head and looked outside curiously.

Cat bag... He seemed to have a solution, he looked at the little Zhiji in his arms.
