Chapter 186 07 Travel Chapter: The first stop - Japan

Because they wanted to avoid Dumbledore and Gellert, Godric and his party checked out of the hotel in Tokyo early in the morning on the second day after arriving in Japan, left in a minivan, and headed for Kyoto, the hometown of the Japanese.

According to legend, the original design of this thousand-year-old capital of Japan was completely modeled after the city of Chang’an and the capital of Luoyang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties of China. The entire city of Kyoto is overlooked from the sky. The buildings in the city are arranged in a rectangular shape to connect the north and south Zhuque Road is the axis, which is divided into two capitals, east and west.Tokyo is modeled after Luoyang, the capital of God, while Xijing is modeled after Chang’an City. In the middle is the palace where the emperor lived. It is usually called the Kyoto Imperial Palace by ordinary people. Even now, it is still controlled by the imperial affairs organization as the emperor’s bedroom in Kyoto. .The outside of the palace city is called the imperial city, and the outer part of the imperial city is the capital city.The streets in the city are in the shape of a checkerboard, and there are vertical and horizontal ranks from east to west, north and south, and the layout is uniform.

When the car drove into the city of Kyoto, everyone immediately felt refreshed, and even the air seemed to become much cleaner.If you think about it carefully, Kyoto, as a thousand-year-old capital, still maintains the ancient style and appearance of the Heian period. There is no hustle and bustle of an international metropolis like Tokyo, there are no towering high-rise buildings in an international metropolis, and there is no such a tense pace of life. All the people are so leisurely, as if telling people that life should be leisurely and contented like this.

"There are really enough temples here." Blaise lay on the car window, looking at the street outside the window. Since they entered Kyoto, they have seen many temples and shrines in the ten minutes away.

"Of course, this is the center of Buddhism in Japan!" Gilderoy Lockhart, who has been to Kyoto once, shook his head and explained to everyone, "Kyoto is known as 'three steps, one temple, seven According to rough statistics, there are more than 500 temples and more than 2000 shrines in the entire city of Kyoto. However, this is data from several years ago, and it is estimated that there are more than this number now. The one we came to play In [-], I also heard that some well-known temples are discussing that in order to prevent real estate developers from destroying the ancient charm and style of Kyoto, they have prepared a large sum of money to acquire the undeveloped land around them."

"Hey, if people in every country treat cultural relics and historic sites like the Japanese, I think the whole earth will be different!" Qiu Zhang sighed. She suddenly remembered listening to her parents a few years ago. Speaking of which, in their hometown, the century-old small buildings where their ancestors lived have been demolished and built into modern apartments.When they heard the news, their parents looked so sad, so reluctant, and with a little bit of nostalgia.How she persuaded them at that time, Qiu no longer remembers, probably showed that kind of indifference, because she didn't have much emotion for it.But now seeing that other countries can protect the whole city so well, from the baptism of war and the invasion of natural disasters, Qiu feels that he can suddenly understand the feelings of his parents at that time. The heartache of the master.

"Yeah, if that's the case......" Pan Xi nodded in agreement, "Everyone won't have so many regrets. So, from this aspect, Muggles are still stupid, At least we will protect the history belonging to wizards well, and build those ancient buildings where wizards grew up."

"Miss, I agree with that." Godric raised his hand, "Whether it is Hogwarts or several large manors, they are buildings that are thousands of years old, they are very well protected, and they can also be used for We continue to ruin and use it. It’s not like a Muggle house. It will be finished when it encounters natural disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and wars. And they don’t care much. They probably collapse it and build it again. It means falling again."

"That's brilliant!" The Weasley twins gave Godric a thumbs up, "But Gordy, we're here to find an onmyoji, right?"

"Well, yes, what's wrong?"

"I took a look outside just now, and it seems that we are in trouble."

"What's the trouble?" The little black cat sprang up as soon as it heard it, and hit its head straight on the roof of the car. The pain caused his little golden bean to pop out all of a sudden, and Draco held him in his arms. He hums, unable to even speak.

"What are you so anxious about?" Draco gently rubbed the back of the little black cat's head, good guy, a big swelling has already bulged. "Godfather..." Platinum Xiaolong looked at his godfather as if asking for help, "Is there any medicine?"

With a dark face, Severus dug out a bottle of painkillers and a bottle of detumescence medicine from his foldable medicine box and threw them into Draco's hands, watching his godson coldly as he opened the bottle The mouth of the troublesome little black cat poured two bottles of potion into it.A few seconds later, the little black cat seemed to be alive again, and started to jump around again.Seeing this, Severus stretched out his hand and patted the little black cat's head twice, causing the little black cat to pout tearfully, looking at his dear Sif with a grievance expression. .

"Sit down!"

Severus snorted coldly, then turned his head away, then held Sirius in his arms again, and never looked in the direction of the little black cat and Draco again, so that the little black cat couldn't express any grievances.

"Okay, Sever, come out to play after all, don't be so serious all the time! Remember, you are Severus Snape Prince now, nothing else, understand? It's just their elders, their friends, not their professors, don't move out the day at Hogwarts, I feel tired watching it." Godric jumped out again to smooth things over, as a peacemaker, he directed The little black cat grimaced, then turned to the Weasley brothers, "What did you see? Those Death Eaters who slipped through?"

"No." George shook his head and pointed at Harry, "It's his trouble. I saw several foreign wizards on the street just now. They must be tourists too."

"It should be." Regulus interrupted, "I forgot that there is such a thing, July is the day when the Gion Festival, one of the three major festivals in Kyoto, is held, and wizards from the east will gather at this time Here, pray for people and get rid of the current epidemic. Although there is a little superstition, everyone will still appear here on time. After all, this is a good opportunity to communicate and learn from each other. So, you see those wizards are That's normal."

"So that's the case." Draco blinked his eyes, "Can we also participate?"

"Of course you can participate, it's a good day for people to revel!"

It was because of Regulus' words that Godric and his party stayed in Kyoto for nearly ten days. During this period, they not only participated in the most solemn mikoshi parade of the Gion Festival, but also visited many Places of interest, such as Kiyomizu Temple, Nijo Castle, Kinkakuji Temple, etc., and tasted a lot of authentic Kyoto cuisine.Only then did they know that the real birthplace of Japanese food culture was in Kyoto.

When it comes to tasting Kyoto cuisine, I have to talk about Godric's knowledge of the city of Kyoto.He once told Salazar that Kyoto, as the ancient capital of thousands of years, although it is not as beautiful as Tokyo now, although it is not as ostentatious and youthful as Tokyo, it has a cultural and historical heritage that Tokyo is far inferior to, but it is precisely this. One point is very important to a thousand-year-old city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the life of this city.Lord Shizu also said that although the modern capital is not beautiful, it is still a prosperous city, and its prosperity must be measured by money.

"Oh? What does this mean?" Salazar gently stroked Godric lying on his lap. This is their last night in Japan, and they will be heading to Kansai International Airport early tomorrow morning. He took the plane at noon and headed to the most mysterious country in the East, so now he is eager to hear Godric's summary of his trip to Japan.

"People say that Kyoto is the most famous romantic city in Japan, isn't it?" Godric felt very comfortable being rubbed by Salazar, and his face was warm, making him want to fall asleep to meet Merlin, but he still I have to finish my feelings, otherwise, Sarah might not know how to punish him!

"and then?"

"This shows that the male and female public relations in places like Ginza are not as important as the geisha and maiko in Kyoto. People may not want to spend [-] pounds to spend a night in Ginza, but they are very happy to spend [-] pounds. Sterling drinks at high-end restaurants in Gion, watching geisha and maiko performances."

"Well, very profound." Salazar smiled lightly, "It seems that this trip to Japan is not in vain, is it?"

"Yeah! I like it here very much. Although it's a pity that I didn't go to many places, we can still come here often in the future, right?"

"Like it here?"

"Yes, the scenery is beautiful, and the folk customs are very simple compared to the movement, I like it."

"Reluctant?"

"It's really not worth it."

"Then I'll leave you something to remember, okay? Let's go crazy on our last night in Japan."

"Crazy? What are you going to do?"

"Do what we both like to do." Salazar lowered his head and blew on the sensitive part behind Godric's ear.

"Really? That's your thing, isn't it? You horny/obsessed/obsessed Slytherin!"

Godric smiled lightly, got up from Salazar's lap, stood in front of his lover, slowly took off his snow-white bathrobe, and made a very seductive gesture towards Master Snake... ...

"Since you have the guts to seduce me, don't blame me for being cruel. Get ready to be carried on the plane by me tomorrow, dear Gordy."
