Supernatural ability spring flowers and autumn fall

Qiu Ye looked suspiciously at the young man named Natsume who had already run away, tilted his head, blinked his light blue eyes, and thought about the conversation between the two just now for a while.

Then he made sure again that he still didn't understand what it meant to get his name back.

Let's just say that he exchanged names with another person of the same age and became friends?Understanding this dialogue in a straightforward way, Qiu Ye looked at the sun that had fully risen, and began to descend the mountain along the path that came up.

The morning air in the mountains is very good, and the sunlight can shine on the path through the gaps between the leaves on the mountain, leaving a little bit of light.On the way down the mountain, Qiu could even hear the sound of a stream passing by a little farther away.Feeling such a natural scenery, Qiu also hooked the corners of his lips, planning to bring Dazai up next time to enjoy this scenery together.

Since the sun was fully up now, Shuya saw a more detailed view when he went down than when he went up, so he saw a fork in the road, and that road led to the entrance of an old shrine. At that time, I didn't have any doubts at all, I just thought it should be because it was still dark when he went up the mountain and he couldn't see clearly.

"It's such an old torii..." Qiuya looked at the torii in the distance, which was no longer red but a little whitish after being exposed to wind and sun, and sighed softly.After thinking about it, he walked towards the old shrine.

When he was in Yokohama, he didn't visit the shrine before, and he grew up like that all the time.But it is said that Yahara is a place with many demon god species, and with a little curiosity about the shrine, Shuya still went there.

Walking up the stone steps covered with moss and even some bricks have been cracked, and passing through the torii gate, Qiuya looked at the main stage with some tributes before confirming that the old shrine should not be abandoned.

He threw in the five-yen coin in his hand, shook the big bell at the top, closed his eyes and folded his hands together and prayed, which was regarded as the completion of the ceremony.

I hope life will be smoother in the future.

Qiu Ye, who felt that she was very happy now, prayed like this, then opened her light blue eyes again, turned around with a smile on her mouth, and planned to go back.

However, when he turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he saw an old man standing in the area where the ema was hung.The old man, who was so old that his hair and beard turned white, was surrounding the shelf, observing every piece of ema.

This kind of behavior made Qiu also feel a little puzzled. He looked at the old man as if he was looking for something, thought for a while and walked over.

"Excuse me, what are you looking for?" Qiu Ye bent down, looked at the old man whose eyes were close to a piece of ema and asked.

Although I can understand that the old man is so close to see it because of his poor eyesight-but his face is full of white hair and he is close to zero distance, so can he see the words on it clearly?

Qiu also expressed doubts about the old man's behavior because he had no vision problems.

"Ah, young man," an old voice sounded, and the old man turned around after realizing that there was someone beside him, turned to Qiuya with his face covered by his white hair, and said, "I'm looking for my ema, Do you know where it is?"

"Your ema?" Qiu Ye turned his head in doubt, and looked at the shelf full of emas. It is not easy to find an exclusive ema on it.Thinking of this, he squatted down directly, keeping his eyes on the same level as the old man, and said more patiently, "Then grandpa, do you remember what your ema looks like, or what you wrote?"

If there are any special words or logos on it, then Qiu can help find it.

"That's the ema given to me by someone important to me," said the old man, with nostalgia in his old voice, "I remember the ema given to me by a young girl decades ago with a blue belt... ..."

"Is it a blue ribbon..." Qiu Ye met again in a low voice, and then looked helplessly at all the emas on the shelf, all of which had red ribbons.In other words, the ema of the old man is not in this place at all.He sighed, looked back at the old man and said, "Grandpa, did you see your ema a few days ago? It's not on the shelf now."

"I'll come every day to make sure it's there," the old man's tone became flustered, and he turned around and began to touch the shelf full of ema again, "That's the first ema, so it's blue , it was still there yesterday.”

"Is that so, then I know." Looking at the flustered expression of the old man who didn't seem to be mistaken or lying, Qiu Ye stood up and said seriously, "Since it is your important thing, I will help you find it .”

Since there is no mistake in determining the location, if the ema is lost in this shrine, then the number of people staying here should have seen this process.Shuya stayed and continued to stare at Ema and started looking for the old man one by one, and came to the side of the cherry tree next to him.

"Extraordinary ability - spring flowers and autumn fall · words in the wind."

Then just ask the tree closest to the ema shelf if you have seen an ema with a blue ribbon from yesterday to today.

With the effect of Qiuya's supernatural power, this cherry tree bloomed a little bit of cherry blossoms.

Qiu Ye who used "Words in the Wind": "..."

It's not blooming!Qiu Ye looked at the cherry tree helplessly, not knowing why the power went wrong, and directly turned Sui Yu in the wind into spring flowers and autumn falls.The old man next to him didn't seem to see anything wrong, and he was still lying on it and looking at every ema.Qiu Ye sighed helplessly, and intensified the use of different abilities.

"Extraordinary Ability - Spring Flowers and Autumn Falls, Whispers in the Wind!"

This time the ability was finally used correctly, Qiu also felt the information that Sakura told him, took a deep breath and pulled the old man back, "Please follow me, I know where your ema is."

Saying this, Qiu Ya took the old man to a small cave near the shrine, which seemed to be a nest made by some small animals living in the mountains.

Because he couldn't find the old man, who was old and had inconvenient legs and feet, Qiu also carried him on his back when he came down the old stairs of the shrine.So when he arrived at the cave, Qiu was still panting softly.

After digging through the small animal's nest made of wood and grass, Qiu also successfully found a very old ema in a blue bag.He smiled and passed the piece of wood in his hand to the old man standing behind him, "I found it, your ema."

"Oh, it is indeed it!" The old man observed the ema in his hand from a distance and confirmed.Then he looked at Qiuya and said, "Thank you very much, young man, this painted horse was given to me by the first girl I met decades ago."

Holding the old ema, the old man said, "Afterwards, the girl left this rural city and followed her lover to live in a more prosperous city."

"Well, it would be great to find it." Qiu Ye scratched his cheek with a smile, and said to the old man, "It is estimated that this piece of ema fell to the ground yesterday, and was picked up by passing animals and brought to this nest. .:"

"So young man, as a reward I can help you realize a wish," the old man who couldn't see his face put the Ema into his arms, and said to Qiuya, "Do you have any wish?"

"Wish?" Suddenly surprised by the old man's proposal, Qiu Ye blinked her pale blue eyes and thought about it, before finally saying, "I'm very happy now, and I don't have any wishes."

He is indeed very happy, because he is now with the person he likes the most.Although he is still on the way to find Mr. Oda, but he believes that with his supernatural ability, this is not too difficult.

"Is that so..." The old man who wanted to help repay the other party was a little depressed. He thought for a while and then said, "Then I will give you a blessing. It is said that many human beings want to have the ability."

"...What is that?" Qiu Ye blinked suspiciously, then noticed that the old man's descriptor was 'human', and suddenly thought of a possibility.He blinked, looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, do you need to go down the mountain now...?"

"No, I can't stay too far away from that shrine." The old man said, then turned around and walked out of the cave slowly, and walked back to the shrine step by step on the dilapidated stairs.

Qiu Ye looked at the back of the old man going up the stairs steadily: "..."

Although I heard Yasuo's grandpa say that Yasuo is a place full of monsters and ghosts since I was a child, Shuya never thought that he would encounter such a thing just by visiting an old shrine.

So, should this old man be the shrine, or the mountain god of this small hillside?

Seeing the figure of the old man who could never be seen after passing through the torii gate, Shuya blinked and walked out of the cave, and followed the path back to Dazai and his newly rented house.

On the other side, inside the shrine, the old man carefully hung the blue ema bag in his hand back on the shelf, stroking the words on it with his fingers.

Because of being stroked all the time on that painted horse, many of the words on it can no longer be read clearly, only the faint words "To the Lord of the Mountain God" can be seen on it.

After confirming that the emas were all put away, the old man turned his attention to the huge cherry tree next to the shelf, and said cheerfully, "Old man, why are you blooming?"

This old shrine, this cherry tree has not bloomed for a long time, and the old man even thought that this friend who had been with him for more than a hundred years had died.

The cherry tree with a few small buds shook a few times in the windless environment, which was considered to have answered the old man's question.

"Is that so, do you like that child too..." The old man nodded, arched his back and walked in front of the cherry tree and nodded, "In order to thank him for his help this time, I will give him the blessing of rejuvenation that many people have wished for. gone."
