Ying Ji's voice stopped abruptly, and the blessings she held in her hand fell down a lot along her unconsciously hanging hand.

A slender hand rushed to catch them before the blessing ceremony landed, and the person who was still more than ten meters away suddenly stood beside Ying Ji.

"Be careful." Nuliang Huapiao handed the blessing gift to Ying Ji again.

"Long time no see, Sakura."

The man's clear voice was full of indescribable tenderness, like the spring breeze blowing through the branches, some emotions revived and grew in her heart.

"Long time no see, Master Nura."

Ying Ji never thought that she would meet him again here. When she came to Kyoto, she was ready to never see him again.

"Leave the blessing ceremony to me. You two have enough time to catch up on the old days." Bai Shu took the blessing ceremony from Ying Ji's hand and said with understanding.

"...Thank you." Ying Ji's cheeks were reddish, she did have a lot of words she wanted to ask Mr. Nu Liang.

Looking at the figures of the two going away, Huaying retracted her eyes, and then her eyes fell on the warm sunlight of the new buds, "Spring is here."

"In a sense, it is like this." Bai Shu touched his nose, whether it is the change of seasons or people's mood, they are all growing in a new direction.

-

Many major events have happened in Kyoto recently, and the most widely circulated event is the divine light coming from the Kyoto Shrine.People told each other and went to the shrine to worship in groups.

The deeds of the Inari god Oyatsu-sama, who was originally kept in people's memory for a long time, gradually began to spread.

The haze left by the New Year Festival has finally been dispelled, Kyoto is still under the protection of the gods, and people ushered in a new dawn.

In the shrine of the Inari God, where the incense burns endlessly, Bai Shu looks at the people of Kyoto who come and go to worship.Today, he changed into a complicated and gorgeous priestess costume, which seems to be the same as that of every great priestess in the shrine, but the costumes belonging to the Inari God shrine are different.

The rising sun is embroidered on the golden red clothes, under the brilliance of the new sun, there are golden ears of rice harvested.There is an exquisite fox mask pinned to the waist of the great witch, a red scarlet hakama under the white tulle, and a pair of exquisite clogs at the end.

The people who came to worship today seem to be no different from yesterday, the gray-white faith flowed from them, and finally gathered on the statue.The incense and offerings brought are very valuable, as if they are very familiar with worshiping the gods.

I always feel that these people, rather than worshiping and asking for the blessings of the gods, are more likely to regard the offerings as a measure of the value of their wishes. The more gray the power of faith, the more valuable the offerings they bring.

If it wasn't for Bai Shu who could see the power of faith flowing from them, he would probably be moved by their pious appearance.The human heart is indeed the most complicated thing in the world.

However, Bai Shu did not expect that people from Abe's family would come to worship Inari God.

Abe Yuzhi, the kid from the Abe family I saw a month ago, seems to have grown a little taller, the baby fat on his face is not as obvious as before, and his big eyes are more clever than before.

Abe Wenzo brought Abe Yukichi to the Inari Shrine to worship together. As nobles, they lined up at the end of the line and slowly moved forward with the flowing crowd.

"Uncle, a lot of people came to pay respects to the shrine of Inari God Oyatsu-sama today. We are all lined up on the main road, and we can't even see the threshold of the shrine." Abe Yuzhi raised his hand and placed it on his own. On the eyebrows, pretending to be looking at the direction of the shrine.

"Yeah, there will be a lot of people coming to the shrine recently." Abe Wenzo hugged him, and looked at the greatly changed Inari Shrine with emotion in his heart.

"The witch sister at the gate of the shrine is so beautiful. She saw Yuzhi, uncle, and she smiled at Yuzhi." Abe Yuzhi suddenly shook Abe Wensan's arm excitedly, "Look quickly Ya uncle!!"

"..." Abe Wensan was baffled by him, so he had to follow Abe Yuzhi's gaze.When he saw the witch at the entrance of the shrine, he couldn't help but froze.

Unexpectedly, the child who brought Kyoto from Chiba Shrine has now become a great witch who can control the entire shrine.

"Youzhi, my uncle is entrusting you with a very important task." Abe Wensan suddenly spoke to Abe Yuzhi seriously.

Abe Yuzhi is a villain. After hearing this, he didn't agree immediately but looked at his uncle with a look of wariness, "Uncle, what do you want me to do? You can talk first, and I want to help you." At least one bunch of candied haws, and the reward has to be increased according to the difficulty of the task."

"You stinky brat, look at you, how can you look like a great future master Onmyoji? You are clearly a businessman full of calculations." Abe Wensan's face was full of black lines.

"I don't care, I don't care, if you don't agree to my condition, I won't do it."

Really convinced of his own bully, Abe Wensan gritted his teeth and agreed, "Yes."

"Uncle, you can now say what you want me to do for you." Abe Yukichi, who got the promise, was in a good mood.

"You continue to line up here, waiting for me to come back. I have something to do." Abe Wensan put him down and told him, "I'll be back soon, don't run around, and give you the talisman for self-defense The paper is in your pocket."

"It's that simple? No problem, deal!" Abe Yuzhi only felt that he had picked up a big bargain.

Hearing his determination, Abe raised his eyebrows three times, then turned and left, walking towards the shrine.

Bai Shu had noticed the movements of Abe Wensan and the others long ago, but due to his current duties, he did not go over to say hello to Abe Wensan and the others.Now seeing Abe Wensan walking towards him, he took the initiative to speak.

"Long time no see, Abe heard how are the three masters?"

"Everything is fine, but I didn't expect to meet Bai Shu here. What about Kikyo and Jacaranda? It seems that you are the only priestess in the Inari Shrine." There are basically six people outside the other shrines. The witch is guarding, and the big witch is generally not easy to see.

"I was originally a priestess enshrining the Inari God Oyatsu-sama. Kikyo is recuperating, and Jacaranda and other attendants are issuing blessings at the exit of the shrine."

"Your shrine seems to have a small number of people..." Abe Wensan realized that the "jacaranda and other attendants" mentioned in Baishu's words were not jacaranda and other maidens.

"Now there are only four witches in total. Compared with other shrines, it is indeed a little less." Bai Shu nodded.

"It's... so little." Abe Wensan was very surprised by this. , "Is there no recruitment?"

"The shrine maidens in Kyoto have basically confirmed their beliefs when they were young. It is difficult to choose a shrine maiden from Kyoto who happens to also believe in the Inari God Oyatsu." Bai Shu shook his head.

"That's a problem, what about sending another group of witches from Chiba Shrine?" Abe Wensan suggested to Bai Shu.

This suggestion made Baishu's eyes bright, "You are very reasonable, I will go to the acting chief priestess to suggest it." Chiba Shrine is the only shrine in the area that still enshrines Inari God, and the Miko is assigned to Chiba Shrine The Inari Shrine at the Kyoto Shrine is the fastest.

"It's good if I can help you." Abe Wensan smiled.

While the two were talking, the line of worship at the Inari Shrine had already advanced to Abe Yuzhi, "Uncle!" The child lowered his voice, sounding like he was gnashing his teeth.

"Hey, kid, why did you line up here so soon?" Abe Wensan couldn't help being surprised when he heard the familiar voice, he thought it would be a while.

"Hmph, you left me there alone in line, and ran over to talk to the beautiful witch sister. I must report to my mother when I go back!" Abe Yuzhi was angry. He thought that the uncle had something important to do. Unexpectedly, the uncle left him behind and came to talk to the witch sister by himself.

"Don't be so angry, brat who loves to lose his temper, sister Miko won't like you." Abe Wensan hugged him with a smile.

Abe Yuzhi carefully glanced at Baishu, and saw that there was no look of disgust on his face, so he retorted softly, "No, my uncle is talking nonsense."

"Long time no see, Youzhi." Bai Shu greeted him gently.

"Long time no see?" Abe Yuzhi obviously didn't recognize the witch in front of him, until he took a closer look at Baishu, the expression on his face suddenly realized, "You are sister Baishu witch."

"Yes." Bai Shu nodded.

"I'll talk about the old days later. Let's go in and pray first, so don't keep the people behind waiting." Abe Wensan rubbed Abe Yukichi's head, and led him directly into the shrine.

The power of faith flowing from Abe Wenzo and Yuzhi is white, which looks very different in the crowd.

"Do you want to go back and have a rest? You have been standing here all morning." A voice familiar to Bai Shu came, and Yu Zaoqian appeared by his side at some time, with worried eyes.

"Fortunately, my body is not that fragile." Bai Shu shook his head, "And if I go to rest, there will be no one guarding here." Inari Shrine really can't deploy extra maidens.

Yu Zaoqian still doesn't support Bai Shu's decision, "Staying here is not an option, I can use illusion to make a puppet to replace you."

"Oh? A puppet?" Bai Shu was a little moved by this proposal, but if he ran off to be lazy, wouldn't Huaying be the only one busy? "forget it."

Yuzaoqian who was rejected didn't speak any more, just when Bai Shu thought he was leaving in anger, he turned his head and still saw Yuzaoqian standing behind him.

Eyes met, Yuzao looked into Baishu's eyes and said, "It's okay if you don't want to leave, I'll be here with you."

"……it is good."

The gentle sunlight elongates the two overlapping shadows. People who come to the Inari Shrine to worship can always see the great witch outside the shrine, and the guardian warrior with a fox face guarding him. behind.
