Start being a priest today
Chapter 36
It was already midnight when Fenggu Yumen returned home.
Lord Shenming has been lying on his tree and drinking,? After the rain curtain subsides, the moon comes out, and the moonlight shines on the body of the god, shining brightly on the white robe of the god.
Fenggu Yumen stood in front of the sacred tree, and called softly: "Master Shenming."
The face of Lord Shenming was still painted on the hemp paper with the emblem of Inaka Sakura, but Fenggu Yumen clearly felt his eyes fall on her body, and finally fixed on her shoulder.
"You are injured." Lord Shenming fell from the tree with a wine bottle, and stood in front of Fenggu Yumen, with a fresh breath of trees or clear springs on his body.
Lord Shenming checked Fenggu Yumen's injuries.Compared with when he was injured, now Fenggu Yumen's wound has basically healed, and four dark red scabs are lined up on his broad shoulders.
The god stretched out his hand and gently touched Fenggu Yumen's shoulder, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
In fact, it doesn't hurt,? But Fenggu Yumen said in a strange way: "A little bit."
Fenggu Yumen couldn't see the expression on Lord Shenming's face, but he felt a cool wind blowing slowly over his scar.Lord Shenming was blowing gently towards his wound, blessing his injury with the breath of the gods.
Lord Shenming even shook his wine bottle, and the ceramic wine bottle seemed to reveal light, and the wine in it turned into a liquid full of spirituality under the magical power of the gods.
The god poured the liquid in the wine bottle on his hands, and guided the liquid to flow slowly on Fenggu Yumen's shoulders with his hands.
"Bless you with righteousness, and get well soon."
The cold liquid flowed on the dark red scab, and the tingling feeling produced when the body healed was dispelled by the wine, and when most of the bottle of wine was poured, the scab on Fenggu Yumen's shoulder fell off naturally.
The breath of the gods was a little sluggish.Obviously this is not an easy thing for him,? But God is in a good mood.
"Yumen, take good care of yourself, don't get hurt again." The god said, "My ability can't heal a strong wound, and I might not be able to help you next time."
"No,?" Fenggu Yumen smiled and said, "You have helped me a lot."
Lord Shenming laughed and said, "It's late, go to bed early."
Fenggu Yumen watched the god disappear into the well before quietly returning to the room to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Fenggu Yumen looked at his shoulder, after the scab faded, what was left was a new pink skin.
My lord, you are so gentle.
When Fenggu Yumen came back late, he was waiting silently, because he was easy to get drunk, so he took small sips. When Fenggu Yumen came back, he only drank two sips, and there was still half a bottle of wine to wash the wound .
A good night's dream.
After waking up, it's a new day.Fenggu Changwen didn't call him in the morning, and someone quietly pressed the alarm clock to stop before it rang. When Fenggu Yumen opened his eyes, it was past ten o'clock and almost eleven o'clock.
Fenggu Changwen is taking care of the small vegetable garden again.
This small vegetable garden grew exceptionally well under his meticulous care, and the vegetables grown seemed to be tastier than outside.After Fenggu Yumen washed up, she ran to the vegetable garden to observe.
The sun shone on Fenggu Yumen's body, but it seemed to integrate Fenggu Yumen into it. His temperament seemed to complement the sunshine.The sun seems not so hot, and Fenggu Yumen is not so quiet.
Changwen waved to Fenggu Yumen, and Fenggu Yumen ran over.
Fenggu Changwen picked a few cucumbers with thorns and green tops from the cucumber shelf and put them in Fenggu Yumen's hands, "Take it back, wash it and put it in the well water to freeze it, and I can eat it when I go back. "
Fenggu Yumen responded and walked towards the house.Fenggu Changwen pulled the weeds again, and unexpectedly found that a few tomatoes were red enough to eat.
"Ah, what a surprise."
When Fenggu Changwen came back, he washed and chilled the tomatoes, and then sat with Fenggu Yumen under the tree in the courtyard to eat cucumbers.
The chilled cucumber is sweet and refreshing, with a crisp sound when biting, with a cool sweetness and no astringency.
The grandpa and grandson felt moistened by the sweetness of the cucumber, Qiqi showed a happy expression, and relaxed under the shade of summer.
The cucumbers of Lord Shenming have long been enshrined by Fenggu Yumen, but instead of enjoying the sweetness of summer with them, Lord Shenming lay lazily on the dense branches of the cherry tree by himself, gnawing on them Cucumber, listening to the comfortable sighs of the grandpa and grandson on the other side——beautiful summer.
After lunch, Fenggu Yumen leaned in the shade to read a book, the seventh edition of "Hundred Ghosts Illustrated Record".
Compared with Sakurajima's state machine, Fenggu Yumen's knowledge is naturally far inferior.But now that the Divine Dao Hall is willing to give him the green light, Fenggu Yumen will naturally not be polite.
In the afternoon, I called Sakura.
Sakura was playing at Tomoshi's house, and she walked around Tomoyo's house with her mobile phone, chatting happily.Why didn't you call Toya and Yukito?I also want to know that these two people should not do anything other than work.
Sure enough, after asking Xiaoying, Xiaoying said: "Brother and Brother Xuetu have both gone to work, and they probably won't be back until evening."
"Then I won't bother them, I'll call them later in the evening." Fenggu Yumen laughed and asked, "Xiaoying, how is Xiaohua doing recently?"
Xiao Sakura called Xiao Hua's name loudly, and Xiao Hua ran all the way over when she heard the voice, and jumped into Xiao Ying's arms.
"I brought Xiaohua along with me."
Xiao Ying held the phone steady, Xiaohua saw Fenggu Yumen's face on the screen, she called out kindly, and wanted to reach out her paw to touch Fenggu Yumen.
Xiaohua's face was enlarged in front of Fenggu Yumen, and then only her shiny hair was visible.
"Thank you, Sakura, for taking such good care of Xiaohua."
"No, Xiaohua is very proud of herself." Sakura smiled embarrassedly.
When Sakura lowered her head, the ghost stood on tiptoe, swayed from side to side, hopping around, trying to let Fenggu Yumen see him.
Fenggu Yumen did notice it, and mouthed: "Take care."
The dirty ghost nodded, and then spun around happily.
In the evening, Fenggu Yumen called Taoya again, and Xuetu and Taoya were on their way home.Fenggu Yumen joked: "Does Taoya want to start a business in the future? He has experienced all kinds of industries. Have you figured out the context of the market?"
Taoya smiled, "What about you, are you going to inherit the shrine? Stay in Yahara and become a rural rich man in the future?"
Fenggu Yumen laughed and said, "What, do I have any money in my family? What kind of rich man is I, but Taoya has the potential to make a fortune."
"Then I will lend you a good word. After all, you are considered a half-priest now, and you might be right." Tao Ya shrugged, making fun of Fenggu Yumen with her dead fish eyes.
Xuetu poked his head out from the side and said, "What about me? What about me, do I have the potential to make a fortune?"
Snow Rabbit was still chewing on the butter bread, and he ate all the butter on his face.Taoya glanced at it, then took another look, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and pressed it to his face.
Snow Rabbit froze for a moment, then laughed.
Fenggu Yumen pinched his fingers pretendingly, and said: "Ah, you are hopeless, but you hold Taoya's thigh well, and go eat and drink when he gets rich."
Snow Rabbit stretched out his hand to wrap Taoya's shoulder, "Hey, I'll depend on you from now on, Taoya."
Taoya stared helplessly at Si Yuyan, and said, "He's talking nonsense."
Fenggu Yumen tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, and said: "Taoya, summer vacation is coming soon, I will visit you then."
Snow Rabbit looked pleasantly surprised, and said, "Okay, then we can go to the beach together for vacation!"
Toya put one hand on Yukito's face: "I haven't agreed to the beach vacation plan yet!"
Fenggu Yumen clasped his hands together and shouted: "Great! Then I will trouble Taoya to arrange it, thank you Taoya! That's it, see you in summer vacation!"
Then he hung up the phone with lightning speed.
"Hey!" Taoya hurriedly called out, "I haven't..."
The video has been interrupted, and Taoya yelled angrily, "Ah! It's all you!" He reached out to catch the snow rabbit.
Seeing that he was offended, Snow Rabbit hurriedly started running, laughing as he ran, "Thank you Taoya! Long live Taoya!"
Chasing and fighting, the shadows of the two people were drawn narrowly and narrowly in the sunset of Tomoeda City, and finally merged into the magnificent dusk.
After Fenggu Yumen hung up the phone, she couldn't help laughing.
Lord Shenming hung upside down from the tree, his face was parallel to that of Fenggu Yumen, "What is Yumen laughing at?"
Lord Shenming's hair was hanging down, falling on Fenggu Yumen's lap.
Fenggu Yumen looked up, and saw that the end of Lord Shenming's clothes stretched out like a tail and hung on the branch, turning him into a baby worm hanging upside down.
Fenggu Yumen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'm discussing with my friends to visit them in Tomoeda City during the summer vacation."
"Oh, have fun." The clothes shrank, and the god flew up to the tree like a cloud and disappeared into the shade.
"Huh?" Fenggu Yumen scratched her hair, "Why are you leaving again?"
In the next two days, the gods almost didn't fight Fenggu Yumen head-on.Even if Natsume Takashi came to Sakurai Shrine as a guest on Monday, Sakurai God just sat on the side with his arms in his arms and said nothing, acting as a mascot.
Before leaving, Natsume Takashi hesitated, and asked, "Brother Yumen, is Lord Shenming angry?"
Fenggu Yumen scratched her head: "Eh? No way..."
Natsume Takashi sighed, and said, "Obviously he's just angry."
Fenggu Yumen thought for a while, but he didn't think of a reason for Lord Shenming to be angry.But on Tuesday, he still didn't see Lord Shenming very much, even if Fenggu Yumen was stupid, he knew that Lord Shenming was angry.
After thinking about it, Fenggu Yumen figured out from the god's reaction that he seemed to be angry because he wanted to go back to Tomoeda City.
Fenggu Yumen patted his head and went to the well to look for the gods.
The god was hidden under the water, so Fenggu Yumen could only sit by the well and said: "I just go back to get together with my friends, and I will come back. If the god is willing, you can also go to Youzhi City with me. It’s time to go on a trip.”
Lord Shenming did not reply.
Fenggu Yumen waited for a long time but there was no reply from the Lord Shenming. He had to go to school the next day, so he had to leave first.
When Fenggu Yumen left, the gods came out of the water, and lay down on the cherry tree to bask in the moon.
Lord Shenming felt that his heart had changed.
Before that, he also advised Fenggu Yumen: "If you are not happy, go back to Youzhi City." Even if Fenggu Yumen chooses to leave, he will not be angry, only regretful.
But Fenggu Yumen did not choose to leave, but began to learn the knowledge of priests, clearly intending to inherit the shrine, and the gods were delighted by this.
The god looked at the moon and thought, "Why?"
Obviously, it was acceptable for Fenggu Yumen to leave before, but now it is unacceptable?Why is it that a God who is clearly loving is also angry and afraid?
God-sama was lying on the branch of the cherry blossom tree, thinking about this question chaotically, and finally fell asleep in the moonlight.
In the next few days, the god deliberately hid from Fenggu Yumen.
Fenggu Yumen serves the gods as usual, sweeping the main hall and shrine every day, adding tribute, and greeting the gods every day.
But the god did not appear because he doubted himself.
In this way, it quietly arrived in late July, the summer vacation.
Summer vacation is the longest vacation of the year. Before the vacation starts, everyone is already absent-minded and can't concentrate at all.
After the end of the final exam, one by one completely let go of themselves.At this time, Fenggu Yumen sent the pre-made brochures to all the students.
"Eh?! It's a lie!" Yoshiko Ueno held the leaflet, eyes full of disbelief.
There are also many other students who can't believe it, such as Nakata Kai who has recently dyed yellow hair, such as Takahashi Keisuke who has been living in fear for a while.
"Sakurai Shrine? The successor of the shrine? A new priest?" Nakata Kai dropped the pen in his hand on the table and shouted, "Student Fenggu, are you actually a priest?"
The little yellow-haired man with an inch head turned his face in front of Fenggu Yumen, "Student Fenggu, why haven't I heard you say it before!"
Fenggu Yumen quickly apologized, saying: "Actually, I came back from Tomoeda City because I want to inherit the shrine. Grandpa is getting old, and the shrine cannot be abandoned, so I have to take over."
"Besides, I have only recently obtained the priest qualification certification, otherwise it would be difficult to tell all the students." Fenggu Yumen apologized with a smile, and his figure suddenly became unpredictable in the eyes of many students.
"Because Sakurai Shrine is just a small family-owned shrine with little reputation, the shrine's festival will be held in two days, and it will also be the festival for me to take over as the priest. Therefore, I hope that all students will support us and come to participate in the shrine activities when the time comes." Gu Yumen asked with a smile.
For high school students of this age, the spirit of fantasy and the curiosity to explore mysteries have not been extinguished, and Fenggu Yumen's few words have aroused the curiosity of most people.
"Okay!" Zhong Tianhai stepped on the stool and held up the brochure, "It's decided! Student Fenggu, I will definitely go!"
"Thank you Nakata-san, the shrine's festival is in the morning, and lunch will be prepared in the shrine, so everyone can stay and have a meal together." Fenggu Yumen put away his schoolbag and said: "You are also welcome to bring friends to play together, I have to go back to prepare for the festival, so I’m leaving first, see you the day after tomorrow!”
The same thing happened to Natsume Takashi, but Natsume Takashi was a little shy, so now he was completely surrounded and asked.
"Eh? That Fenggu senior who often plays with you is actually a priest!" Nishimura approached, "How is Fenggu senior?"
Natsume Takashi said: "The senior is a very nice person, haven't you guys met before?"
Sasada Jun looked suspiciously at Natsume Takashi, looked at him and asked, "Natsume-san, is Kazetani-senpai the same person as you?"
Natsume Takashi's head was dripping with cold sweat, "What... what kind of person?"
Sasada Jun looked at Natsume Takashi with pity, and said quietly: "Of course it is..."
Before she finished speaking, Kaname Tanuma came over with a brochure and asked Natsume. He didn't ask any questions, but just gave him a look, and Natsume nodded secretly.
Sasada Jun was interrupted, so he didn't say the rest.
Sasada Jun has always suspected that Natsume Takashi can see youkai, but there has been no evidence because she can't see it herself.Sasada Jun once became attached to the fallen god Shigure in the old school building. Later, this girl warmed Shigure's heart and made Shigure give up his resentment and leave here.
This matter was later told by Natsume Takashi to Fenggu Yumen.Since then, the old school building has become quiet. Although there are still some little monsters inhabiting there, there is no sign of Shigure anymore.
Natsume Takashi was promoting it in the first grade, and Fenggu Yumen was promoting it in the second grade. Many students in the prefectural Yanai middle school knew about it, and Fenggu Yumen also became some of the most influential figures on campus for a while.
But at this time, Fenggu Yumen doesn't have time to pay attention to these, the festival activities are already in preparation, but the preparation process is not so smooth.
After all, Sakurai Shrine is still a small shrine, and even if Kazetani Nagafumi has the heart, he doesn't have enough financial resources to make a big deal of it.
In the end, Fenggu Yumen still used the inheritance of their parents. Their parents passed away unexpectedly, and the insurance and inheritance left were enough for Fenggu Yumen to survive for a lifetime.He didn't intend to use this inheritance originally, but it's not impossible to take it out for emergency at this time.
When going to the bank to withdraw money, Feng Gu Yumen was still very emotional.
When my father was alive, I was very resistant to returning to Yahara, and I didn't want to inherit the shrine.But after his death, Fenggu Yumen followed his grandfather's old path and used his inheritance to repair the shrine.
Fenggu Changwen originally did not agree with Fenggu Yumen to use the money, but Fenggu Yumen persuaded him.After all, this festival is not only the festival of the shrine, but also the succession ceremony of Fenggu Yumen.
With Fenggu Yumen's money, although the repairs of the shrine and the preparations for the festival have gone smoothly, there is still a considerable part of the work that has not been completed, and it will take a lot of work to complete it within two days.
After Fenggu Yumen returned home, she received a call from Ms. Sari from the branch of the Yayuan Shinto Hall.
Ms. Sha Li has been paying attention to Fenggu Yumen, of course she is silently paying attention, instead of leaning closer to find trouble.Fenggu Yumen distributed brochures, and Ms. Shali also got a copy, and asked if she could come to watch the ceremony.
Of course Fenggu Yumen would not refuse.Then Miss Sari asked if she could do her part for the shrine, Fenggu Yumen agreed without hesitation.
It is most suitable for professional things to be done by professional people, which is much more convenient than Fenggu Yumen and Fenggu Changwen directing the workers.
Soon Ms. Sha Li came to help with the officers of the Shinto Hall, and Feng Gu Changwen was invited by Fenggu Yumen to rest in the back, so that the officers of the Shinto Hall could command the shikigami with confidence, so as not to scare the old man.
Even the five monsters that originally existed in Sakurai Shrine were entrusted with important tasks by Fenggu Yumen. With their efforts, Sakurai Shrine took on a completely new look within one day.
Lord Shenming has been in a downturn recently.
If Fenggu Yumen was at home, there was a high probability that he would not show up.
The people from the Shinto Hall have been tossing for a long time, and the Lord Shenming didn't come out to take a look.His thinking seemed to be stuck in a dead end, and he didn't know that he had drilled himself into that dead end.
The Sakurai Shrine has taken on a new look, the dilapidated buildings have been demolished, and even the two mountain tiger angels will be redecorated.Originally there was only one main hall, but with the suggestion and efforts of Ms. Sha Li, the Hall of Worship and the Hall of Coins were added.
Ms. Sari also donated a torii to Sakurai Shrine on behalf of the Yahara Shinto Hall. When she learned that the ceremony was not presided over by a special person, but was presided over by Nagafumi Kazetani, Ms. Sari volunteered to help host the ceremony.But Fenggu Yumen had a better candidate, so they declined Miss Shali's kindness.
July 25.
At nine o'clock in the morning, it is already very hot in summer, but today's Sakurai Shrine has a cool feeling despite the heat.The entire shrine is shrouded in a wonderful artistic conception. All the shimenawa ropes in the shrine are woven and blessed by Fenggu Yumen himself, so the enchantment in the shrine is also full of tranquility and purity.
The ceremony starts at nine o'clock and ends at ten o'clock.Early in the morning, Fenggu Yumen was welcoming guests.
The classmates in the school, other people who heard that there are activities in the shrine, the officers of the Yahara Shinto Hall, and some old people who were invited by Fenggu Changfumi to watch the ceremony—only a few, and they are very old, and they are believers of the Lord God. The priest Takeuchi Taiga who came.
Natsume Takashi came very early today, because Fenggu Yumen invited him to help preside over the ceremony yesterday.
Compared with Miss Sari's spiritual power, Natsume Takashi's spiritual power is undoubtedly purer and closer to the true nature.
It's not good to say that, but whether it's Ms. Sari or the staff of the Shinto Hall, their spiritual power and shikigami are connected to each other. While benefiting from the shikigami, their own spiritual power will also be affected, so they are not close to the gods. of pure power.
There are many new faces in the shrine today.
Guta, Lingjiao, Kamesenjin, Sakuraizaemon, and Sakuraiemon were all enlightened by Kazetani Yumon with paper figurines, and they possessed human bodies for a short time and could be seen by humans.
After becoming a human, Guta is a child of about ten years old, Hibiki is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, Kamesenjin is an old man of five or sixty years old, Zaemon and Youemon are young people, these five people are like Kanna, Yu Nu formed the Kagami Orchestra and was responsible for playing the Kagura, while the Kagami Dance was performed by Fenggu Yumen and some officers of the Shinto Hall.
As the time approached, a few special guests came to the shrine.
Fenggu Yumen personally went to the foot of the mountain to pick up Sanxiao, Bing and some other monsters who looked like humans.
When the time is up, Kagura will play first.
The wind blows through the wind chimes of the shrine, and the wind chimes are mixed with the sound of taiko drums, shamisen, flutes, kotos and other musical instruments.Gua Tai beat the taiko drum, and the sound of the drum rumbled like spring thunder.
The taiko drum kicked off the prelude to Kagura, and also the prelude to the sacrifice, and the ceremony of Sakurai God began.
Accompanied by Kagura, Kazegu Yumon wears a light blue dress representing the gods, and the face is covered with hemp paper with the emblem of Inaka Sakura, showing the image of the gods.
Fenggu Yumen holds the Kagura bell and slowly dances with the Kagura, using the Kagura to show the grace of the gods and singing the stories of the gods.
The sound of drums may be urgent or slow, the sound of flute may be short or long, the sound of zither is crisp, and the sound of shamisen is quiet.Along with the sound of the music, Fenggu Yumen tapped the Kagura bell lightly, and the movements were either thunderous and violent, or stretched like a bright moon, or elegant like a breeze, or firm like a rock.
This is the movement of Fenggu Yumen to the gods, and the dance of Fenggu Yumen to the gods.
The sacrificial scene is extremely solemn, Fenggu Yumen plays the role of a god, and in the sound of divine music, it seems that a real god has come to the world. Whether it is ordinary people or monsters who come to watch the ceremony, they are all displayed wholeheartedly by Fenggu Yumen I lost my mind and immersed myself in his divine dance and Kagura.
Even the audience couldn't get away, let alone the god who was the object of the sacrifice.
The moment the Kagura sounded, the god involuntarily left the well and descended into the ritual as an invisible god.
No one can see Lord Shenming, except Fenggu Yumen.When he danced the god dance, the gods almost merged with him, and he almost became the human incarnation of the gods.
It's just that this incarnation is stronger than the gods, so the gods can only feel passively and cannot interfere with the process of sacrifice.
What did the gods feel?
what is it then?
The gods burst into tears without knowing it.Because in this sacrifice, there is full and overflowing trust and love.
The connection between gods and human beings begins here and goes deeper.
Soon Shenwu entered Chapter 2, which tells the story of the drought, the believers pray to the gods, and the gods fight the drought demon.
The group performances of the Shinto Hall came on stage, some performed believers, and some performed drought demons.
It was the time when the Sakurai God came, and there was a severe drought in Yayuan. There was only one Sakurai well that was enshrined by people. It continuously drew water from the ground and turned it into water in the well to feed the people at that time.
The Drought Demon is irritating and attacking the gods all the time. Just like the drought at that time, the Sakurai God has faced a desperate situation since his arrival.The river was cut off and the water veins dried up. Sakurai God used his divine power to obtain water vapor from the depths of the ground and guide the water source deep in the earth to rise up to meet the needs of human beings.
At that time, Sakurai God was loved by everyone.
It is a pity that love cannot last forever. As the drought passed, the god of Sakurai was gradually forgotten, and then tap water was brought to thousands of households, and few people remembered the god of this well anymore.
The god finally defeated the drought demon, took out the water source from the infinitely dangerous underground, and saved the believers.
The story enters the final chapter.
In the final chapter, the gods are gradually forgotten, but they are still giving blessings to believers and still guarding their believers.
Perhaps it is inevitable to be forgotten, but after all, someone will remember it, and someone will pass it on.Whether it is Sakurai God or Sakurai Shrine.
The divine dance is over, and Fenggu Yumen exits.
As the host, Natsume Takashi began to recite the prayers, explaining the inheritance of the shrine like a god.The original priest, Nagafumi Kazetani, is about to step down, and the new priest, Tamamori Kazeya, will take over the Sakurai Shrine in place of his grandfather.
Lord Shenming was hidden in the sacrifice, but he was speechless when he heard the words.
It turns out that for so many days, Fenggu Yumen didn't pay attention to him, but cared about him very much.
Lord Shenming looked at Fenggu Yumen outside the arena, he had already changed out of the costume he wore during the divine dance, put on the priest's hunting clothes, and returned to the sacrificial ceremony.
Sensing Lord Shenming's gaze, Fenggu Yumen smiled and bent slightly towards Lord Shenming.
If the Lord God is uneasy, then I hope my sacrifice can appease the Lord God.
Fenggu Yumen didn't speak, but Lord Shenming clearly felt what he meant.
"Stupid." Lord Shenming looked up at the sky, the warm and strong summer sun dispelled all the haze.
What a nice weather.
Under the watchful eyes of the gods, Nagafumi Kazeya, who was wearing a sari suit, handed the emblem and seal representing Sakurai Shrine to Yumon Kazeya, which represented the beginning of a new era for Sakurai Shrine.
Natsume Takashi looked at Fenggu Yumen in hunting clothes, his heart was full of excitement, warmth and touch.
The next item is the new priest leading the crowd to worship the gods.
Yu Shoushui sanitized his hands, and then visited and made a wish in the hall of worship with the etiquette of two-two-one.
After the worship, Fenggu Yumen stood in the worship hall, his eyes made contact with the gods, and he bowed slightly.
"My lord, from today onwards, I will be your priest, please give me your advice."
Lord Shenming returned a salute, "Please give me more advice in the future, Mr. Fenggu."
At this time, a pure and white contract was formed between Fenggu Yumen and Sakurai God, the contract disappeared, Fenggu Yumen opened his hand, and the emblem of Inaka Sakura appeared in the palm of his hand.
And the hemp paper on Lord Shenming's face suddenly flew up and dissipated in the air, revealing a face that Shenming was caught off guard.
The deep blue eyes of the gods are like clear spring water, and there is gentleness between the brows and eyes.
Fenggu Yumen was stunned for a moment, at that moment, he seemed to see a bright diamond, or the melting spring snow, or the blooming cherry blossoms.
In short, it is a beautiful scenery.
Since the sacrificial ceremony was carefully prepared by Fenggu Yumen, he was very satisfied with the final result.
If it's just pure music and dance, Fenggu Yumen's works can only be regarded as mediocre, much worse than a real master, after all, he is not a master in this field.
But it is another matter if such music and dance are dedicated to the gods and made into Kagura and Kagami.Fenggu Yumen is a real master in this regard. The secret of Kagura and Kagami is the rich emotion and the resonance that can meet the soul.
Fenggu Yumen performed it himself, not to mention the Sakurai God, even if it was a legendary god with a higher personality, he had to say hello.
The spectators who were lucky enough to witness the sacrifice at Fenggu Yumen and the worshipers who participated in the sacrifice all had different gains.Everyone was blessed by the gods, and those who participated in the sacrifice, such as Natsume Takashi, Miss Sari, Ishikawa Officer, etc., were purified and blessed in Kagura and Kagami.
Natsume Takashi didn't respond, but the officers of the Shinto Hall felt that their spiritual power had become more pure, and even their shikigami showed signs of becoming stronger.
Ms. Sha Li looked at Fenggu Yumen almost with reverence in her eyes. There have been many ceremonies held in the Shinto Hall, but such a situation has never happened.
After worshiping the gods, everyone feels as if their bodies and minds have been purified.
Ueno Ryoko, Nakata Kai, and Takahashi Keisuke are the closest friends who walked with Fenggu Yumen, but they have never seen Fenggu Yumen like this, just looking at it, they feel shining.
Yoshiko Ueno and Umi Nakata are just impressed by the charm of the festival. After watching it, people seem to be purified.Keisuke Takahashi felt it even more deeply. It didn't seem like he had been purified, but he had really been purified.
Takahashi Keisuke had met the ogre before, if Fenggu Yumen hadn't arrived in time, he might have died in the mouth of the ogre.Although the glasses were dropped because of fear at that time, everything was Gaussian blurred, but the evil figure still left an indelible shadow on Keisuke Takahashi.
After escaping from the underground garage, Takahashi Keisuke reluctantly returned home, where he suffered a serious illness, took leave of absence for three days and didn't come to school, he almost lost his mind.
Fenggu Yumen invited the students to come to the celebration, and it may be that he did not intend to relieve Takahashi Keisuke's fear.
Keisuke Takahashi could never forget what happened that day. In every nightmare, monsters would come out to attack him.He originally thought that he would barely survive with this nightmare, but now, the nightmare seemed to have disappeared.
It was no longer a man-eating demon that filled his heart, but a benevolent god.
Takahashi Keisuke feels that his whole body has been reborn, so he is also very devout when he visits the shrine.
Fenggu Yumen stood in the courtyard with a paper fan and greeted everyone. Everyone in the Shinto Hall left first, and then even the monsters who came in disguise also came to say goodbye.
Fenggu Yumen thanked them one by one, and promised to pay a visit in the future.
Seeing a space around Fenggu Yumen, Takahashi Keisuke walked in front of Fenggu Yumen, he hesitated to speak, he had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.
Fenggu Yumen knew the nightmare he had experienced, so he smiled and comforted him first: "All misfortunes will pass, Takahashi looks much better now."
Takahashi Keisuke was stunned, feeling that his heart had been seen through by Fenggu Yumen's gentle eyes, so he asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Fenggu, does God really exist?"
Yumen Fenggu squinted his eyes and laughed, took the paper fan and tapped Keisuke Takahashi's chest lightly, and said: "You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
Takahashi Keisuke relaxed, and thanked Fenggu Yumen.
Yoshiko Ueno and Nakata Kai also came over, and the little yellow-haired man asked, "What is Takahashi talking about with Fenggu?"
Fenggu Yumen said: "Student Takahashi asked me if gods really exist."
"Then does it exist?" Ueno Yoshiko and Nakata Kai's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Fenggu Yumen stretched out his hunting clothes, attracting their attention, "I am a priest, you ask me if gods exist?"
Fenggu Yumen looked at the two of them as if they were fools, "In my world, gods certainly exist."
After chatting with the students for a while, Fenggu Yumen left, and asked the students to visit the shrine by themselves.
To be honest, Sakurai Shrine is not big, but you can also see bamboo forests, cherry forests and ponds when you go out along the trail beside the approach. These are all open to the public, but the vegetable garden and the back mansion are not. Gu Changwen blocked it with Yuyuan.Apart from the leisurely fun in the mountains and the demure atmosphere, there is nothing to praise.
At noon, Fenggu Yumen and the people who came to worship prepared water and pasta.Noodles are prepared in advance, as long as a pot of soup base and saozi are marinated first, after the noodles are cooked, toppings can be eaten, which is more convenient than meals.
At first, only Natsume was helping, but then it became too busy, and five youkai were called in to help.
Teacher Mao also vowed to help, but was kicked out of the kitchen after being caught by Natsume Takashi twice in a row.
After a busy noon, neither the humans nor the monsters were too tired to move in the end.
Fenggu Yumen stuffed a chilled tomato alone, the cold, sour and sweet tomato saved people from the heat in an instant.
"So comfortable!"
Even Mr. Cat, who has been being too helpful and yelling for meat, couldn't help but meow happily.
Fenggu Yumen invited them to the room to blow on the air conditioner, and then treated them to a big meal.
Since he still maintains his human appearance, it doesn't matter if he tells his grandfather that he is a friend.It's just that Feng Gu Changwen looked at the youngest at the dinner table who were only eleven or twelve years old, and the older ones had "friends" who were 70 or [-] years old, and felt a little guilty.
Afterwards, he secretly asked Fenggu Yumen: "Where did you meet this friend? Why is there another one who is about my age?"
Feng Gu Yumen had no choice but to be vague for a while, saying that they met by accident, and wanted to confuse it and let it go, but who knew Feng Gu Changwen didn't ask much.
Feng Gu Changwen fulfilled a wish, and today he looks like a Buddha without regrets, he looks kind and good at everything, of course he doesn't care about such trivial things.
Friends bid farewell one after another, and the bustling shrine gradually became more and more popular.
Lord Shenming has been lying on his tree and drinking,? After the rain curtain subsides, the moon comes out, and the moonlight shines on the body of the god, shining brightly on the white robe of the god.
Fenggu Yumen stood in front of the sacred tree, and called softly: "Master Shenming."
The face of Lord Shenming was still painted on the hemp paper with the emblem of Inaka Sakura, but Fenggu Yumen clearly felt his eyes fall on her body, and finally fixed on her shoulder.
"You are injured." Lord Shenming fell from the tree with a wine bottle, and stood in front of Fenggu Yumen, with a fresh breath of trees or clear springs on his body.
Lord Shenming checked Fenggu Yumen's injuries.Compared with when he was injured, now Fenggu Yumen's wound has basically healed, and four dark red scabs are lined up on his broad shoulders.
The god stretched out his hand and gently touched Fenggu Yumen's shoulder, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
In fact, it doesn't hurt,? But Fenggu Yumen said in a strange way: "A little bit."
Fenggu Yumen couldn't see the expression on Lord Shenming's face, but he felt a cool wind blowing slowly over his scar.Lord Shenming was blowing gently towards his wound, blessing his injury with the breath of the gods.
Lord Shenming even shook his wine bottle, and the ceramic wine bottle seemed to reveal light, and the wine in it turned into a liquid full of spirituality under the magical power of the gods.
The god poured the liquid in the wine bottle on his hands, and guided the liquid to flow slowly on Fenggu Yumen's shoulders with his hands.
"Bless you with righteousness, and get well soon."
The cold liquid flowed on the dark red scab, and the tingling feeling produced when the body healed was dispelled by the wine, and when most of the bottle of wine was poured, the scab on Fenggu Yumen's shoulder fell off naturally.
The breath of the gods was a little sluggish.Obviously this is not an easy thing for him,? But God is in a good mood.
"Yumen, take good care of yourself, don't get hurt again." The god said, "My ability can't heal a strong wound, and I might not be able to help you next time."
"No,?" Fenggu Yumen smiled and said, "You have helped me a lot."
Lord Shenming laughed and said, "It's late, go to bed early."
Fenggu Yumen watched the god disappear into the well before quietly returning to the room to sleep.
Lying on the bed, Fenggu Yumen looked at his shoulder, after the scab faded, what was left was a new pink skin.
My lord, you are so gentle.
When Fenggu Yumen came back late, he was waiting silently, because he was easy to get drunk, so he took small sips. When Fenggu Yumen came back, he only drank two sips, and there was still half a bottle of wine to wash the wound .
A good night's dream.
After waking up, it's a new day.Fenggu Changwen didn't call him in the morning, and someone quietly pressed the alarm clock to stop before it rang. When Fenggu Yumen opened his eyes, it was past ten o'clock and almost eleven o'clock.
Fenggu Changwen is taking care of the small vegetable garden again.
This small vegetable garden grew exceptionally well under his meticulous care, and the vegetables grown seemed to be tastier than outside.After Fenggu Yumen washed up, she ran to the vegetable garden to observe.
The sun shone on Fenggu Yumen's body, but it seemed to integrate Fenggu Yumen into it. His temperament seemed to complement the sunshine.The sun seems not so hot, and Fenggu Yumen is not so quiet.
Changwen waved to Fenggu Yumen, and Fenggu Yumen ran over.
Fenggu Changwen picked a few cucumbers with thorns and green tops from the cucumber shelf and put them in Fenggu Yumen's hands, "Take it back, wash it and put it in the well water to freeze it, and I can eat it when I go back. "
Fenggu Yumen responded and walked towards the house.Fenggu Changwen pulled the weeds again, and unexpectedly found that a few tomatoes were red enough to eat.
"Ah, what a surprise."
When Fenggu Changwen came back, he washed and chilled the tomatoes, and then sat with Fenggu Yumen under the tree in the courtyard to eat cucumbers.
The chilled cucumber is sweet and refreshing, with a crisp sound when biting, with a cool sweetness and no astringency.
The grandpa and grandson felt moistened by the sweetness of the cucumber, Qiqi showed a happy expression, and relaxed under the shade of summer.
The cucumbers of Lord Shenming have long been enshrined by Fenggu Yumen, but instead of enjoying the sweetness of summer with them, Lord Shenming lay lazily on the dense branches of the cherry tree by himself, gnawing on them Cucumber, listening to the comfortable sighs of the grandpa and grandson on the other side——beautiful summer.
After lunch, Fenggu Yumen leaned in the shade to read a book, the seventh edition of "Hundred Ghosts Illustrated Record".
Compared with Sakurajima's state machine, Fenggu Yumen's knowledge is naturally far inferior.But now that the Divine Dao Hall is willing to give him the green light, Fenggu Yumen will naturally not be polite.
In the afternoon, I called Sakura.
Sakura was playing at Tomoshi's house, and she walked around Tomoyo's house with her mobile phone, chatting happily.Why didn't you call Toya and Yukito?I also want to know that these two people should not do anything other than work.
Sure enough, after asking Xiaoying, Xiaoying said: "Brother and Brother Xuetu have both gone to work, and they probably won't be back until evening."
"Then I won't bother them, I'll call them later in the evening." Fenggu Yumen laughed and asked, "Xiaoying, how is Xiaohua doing recently?"
Xiao Sakura called Xiao Hua's name loudly, and Xiao Hua ran all the way over when she heard the voice, and jumped into Xiao Ying's arms.
"I brought Xiaohua along with me."
Xiao Ying held the phone steady, Xiaohua saw Fenggu Yumen's face on the screen, she called out kindly, and wanted to reach out her paw to touch Fenggu Yumen.
Xiaohua's face was enlarged in front of Fenggu Yumen, and then only her shiny hair was visible.
"Thank you, Sakura, for taking such good care of Xiaohua."
"No, Xiaohua is very proud of herself." Sakura smiled embarrassedly.
When Sakura lowered her head, the ghost stood on tiptoe, swayed from side to side, hopping around, trying to let Fenggu Yumen see him.
Fenggu Yumen did notice it, and mouthed: "Take care."
The dirty ghost nodded, and then spun around happily.
In the evening, Fenggu Yumen called Taoya again, and Xuetu and Taoya were on their way home.Fenggu Yumen joked: "Does Taoya want to start a business in the future? He has experienced all kinds of industries. Have you figured out the context of the market?"
Taoya smiled, "What about you, are you going to inherit the shrine? Stay in Yahara and become a rural rich man in the future?"
Fenggu Yumen laughed and said, "What, do I have any money in my family? What kind of rich man is I, but Taoya has the potential to make a fortune."
"Then I will lend you a good word. After all, you are considered a half-priest now, and you might be right." Tao Ya shrugged, making fun of Fenggu Yumen with her dead fish eyes.
Xuetu poked his head out from the side and said, "What about me? What about me, do I have the potential to make a fortune?"
Snow Rabbit was still chewing on the butter bread, and he ate all the butter on his face.Taoya glanced at it, then took another look, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and pressed it to his face.
Snow Rabbit froze for a moment, then laughed.
Fenggu Yumen pinched his fingers pretendingly, and said: "Ah, you are hopeless, but you hold Taoya's thigh well, and go eat and drink when he gets rich."
Snow Rabbit stretched out his hand to wrap Taoya's shoulder, "Hey, I'll depend on you from now on, Taoya."
Taoya stared helplessly at Si Yuyan, and said, "He's talking nonsense."
Fenggu Yumen tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, and said: "Taoya, summer vacation is coming soon, I will visit you then."
Snow Rabbit looked pleasantly surprised, and said, "Okay, then we can go to the beach together for vacation!"
Toya put one hand on Yukito's face: "I haven't agreed to the beach vacation plan yet!"
Fenggu Yumen clasped his hands together and shouted: "Great! Then I will trouble Taoya to arrange it, thank you Taoya! That's it, see you in summer vacation!"
Then he hung up the phone with lightning speed.
"Hey!" Taoya hurriedly called out, "I haven't..."
The video has been interrupted, and Taoya yelled angrily, "Ah! It's all you!" He reached out to catch the snow rabbit.
Seeing that he was offended, Snow Rabbit hurriedly started running, laughing as he ran, "Thank you Taoya! Long live Taoya!"
Chasing and fighting, the shadows of the two people were drawn narrowly and narrowly in the sunset of Tomoeda City, and finally merged into the magnificent dusk.
After Fenggu Yumen hung up the phone, she couldn't help laughing.
Lord Shenming hung upside down from the tree, his face was parallel to that of Fenggu Yumen, "What is Yumen laughing at?"
Lord Shenming's hair was hanging down, falling on Fenggu Yumen's lap.
Fenggu Yumen looked up, and saw that the end of Lord Shenming's clothes stretched out like a tail and hung on the branch, turning him into a baby worm hanging upside down.
Fenggu Yumen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'm discussing with my friends to visit them in Tomoeda City during the summer vacation."
"Oh, have fun." The clothes shrank, and the god flew up to the tree like a cloud and disappeared into the shade.
"Huh?" Fenggu Yumen scratched her hair, "Why are you leaving again?"
In the next two days, the gods almost didn't fight Fenggu Yumen head-on.Even if Natsume Takashi came to Sakurai Shrine as a guest on Monday, Sakurai God just sat on the side with his arms in his arms and said nothing, acting as a mascot.
Before leaving, Natsume Takashi hesitated, and asked, "Brother Yumen, is Lord Shenming angry?"
Fenggu Yumen scratched her head: "Eh? No way..."
Natsume Takashi sighed, and said, "Obviously he's just angry."
Fenggu Yumen thought for a while, but he didn't think of a reason for Lord Shenming to be angry.But on Tuesday, he still didn't see Lord Shenming very much, even if Fenggu Yumen was stupid, he knew that Lord Shenming was angry.
After thinking about it, Fenggu Yumen figured out from the god's reaction that he seemed to be angry because he wanted to go back to Tomoeda City.
Fenggu Yumen patted his head and went to the well to look for the gods.
The god was hidden under the water, so Fenggu Yumen could only sit by the well and said: "I just go back to get together with my friends, and I will come back. If the god is willing, you can also go to Youzhi City with me. It’s time to go on a trip.”
Lord Shenming did not reply.
Fenggu Yumen waited for a long time but there was no reply from the Lord Shenming. He had to go to school the next day, so he had to leave first.
When Fenggu Yumen left, the gods came out of the water, and lay down on the cherry tree to bask in the moon.
Lord Shenming felt that his heart had changed.
Before that, he also advised Fenggu Yumen: "If you are not happy, go back to Youzhi City." Even if Fenggu Yumen chooses to leave, he will not be angry, only regretful.
But Fenggu Yumen did not choose to leave, but began to learn the knowledge of priests, clearly intending to inherit the shrine, and the gods were delighted by this.
The god looked at the moon and thought, "Why?"
Obviously, it was acceptable for Fenggu Yumen to leave before, but now it is unacceptable?Why is it that a God who is clearly loving is also angry and afraid?
God-sama was lying on the branch of the cherry blossom tree, thinking about this question chaotically, and finally fell asleep in the moonlight.
In the next few days, the god deliberately hid from Fenggu Yumen.
Fenggu Yumen serves the gods as usual, sweeping the main hall and shrine every day, adding tribute, and greeting the gods every day.
But the god did not appear because he doubted himself.
In this way, it quietly arrived in late July, the summer vacation.
Summer vacation is the longest vacation of the year. Before the vacation starts, everyone is already absent-minded and can't concentrate at all.
After the end of the final exam, one by one completely let go of themselves.At this time, Fenggu Yumen sent the pre-made brochures to all the students.
"Eh?! It's a lie!" Yoshiko Ueno held the leaflet, eyes full of disbelief.
There are also many other students who can't believe it, such as Nakata Kai who has recently dyed yellow hair, such as Takahashi Keisuke who has been living in fear for a while.
"Sakurai Shrine? The successor of the shrine? A new priest?" Nakata Kai dropped the pen in his hand on the table and shouted, "Student Fenggu, are you actually a priest?"
The little yellow-haired man with an inch head turned his face in front of Fenggu Yumen, "Student Fenggu, why haven't I heard you say it before!"
Fenggu Yumen quickly apologized, saying: "Actually, I came back from Tomoeda City because I want to inherit the shrine. Grandpa is getting old, and the shrine cannot be abandoned, so I have to take over."
"Besides, I have only recently obtained the priest qualification certification, otherwise it would be difficult to tell all the students." Fenggu Yumen apologized with a smile, and his figure suddenly became unpredictable in the eyes of many students.
"Because Sakurai Shrine is just a small family-owned shrine with little reputation, the shrine's festival will be held in two days, and it will also be the festival for me to take over as the priest. Therefore, I hope that all students will support us and come to participate in the shrine activities when the time comes." Gu Yumen asked with a smile.
For high school students of this age, the spirit of fantasy and the curiosity to explore mysteries have not been extinguished, and Fenggu Yumen's few words have aroused the curiosity of most people.
"Okay!" Zhong Tianhai stepped on the stool and held up the brochure, "It's decided! Student Fenggu, I will definitely go!"
"Thank you Nakata-san, the shrine's festival is in the morning, and lunch will be prepared in the shrine, so everyone can stay and have a meal together." Fenggu Yumen put away his schoolbag and said: "You are also welcome to bring friends to play together, I have to go back to prepare for the festival, so I’m leaving first, see you the day after tomorrow!”
The same thing happened to Natsume Takashi, but Natsume Takashi was a little shy, so now he was completely surrounded and asked.
"Eh? That Fenggu senior who often plays with you is actually a priest!" Nishimura approached, "How is Fenggu senior?"
Natsume Takashi said: "The senior is a very nice person, haven't you guys met before?"
Sasada Jun looked suspiciously at Natsume Takashi, looked at him and asked, "Natsume-san, is Kazetani-senpai the same person as you?"
Natsume Takashi's head was dripping with cold sweat, "What... what kind of person?"
Sasada Jun looked at Natsume Takashi with pity, and said quietly: "Of course it is..."
Before she finished speaking, Kaname Tanuma came over with a brochure and asked Natsume. He didn't ask any questions, but just gave him a look, and Natsume nodded secretly.
Sasada Jun was interrupted, so he didn't say the rest.
Sasada Jun has always suspected that Natsume Takashi can see youkai, but there has been no evidence because she can't see it herself.Sasada Jun once became attached to the fallen god Shigure in the old school building. Later, this girl warmed Shigure's heart and made Shigure give up his resentment and leave here.
This matter was later told by Natsume Takashi to Fenggu Yumen.Since then, the old school building has become quiet. Although there are still some little monsters inhabiting there, there is no sign of Shigure anymore.
Natsume Takashi was promoting it in the first grade, and Fenggu Yumen was promoting it in the second grade. Many students in the prefectural Yanai middle school knew about it, and Fenggu Yumen also became some of the most influential figures on campus for a while.
But at this time, Fenggu Yumen doesn't have time to pay attention to these, the festival activities are already in preparation, but the preparation process is not so smooth.
After all, Sakurai Shrine is still a small shrine, and even if Kazetani Nagafumi has the heart, he doesn't have enough financial resources to make a big deal of it.
In the end, Fenggu Yumen still used the inheritance of their parents. Their parents passed away unexpectedly, and the insurance and inheritance left were enough for Fenggu Yumen to survive for a lifetime.He didn't intend to use this inheritance originally, but it's not impossible to take it out for emergency at this time.
When going to the bank to withdraw money, Feng Gu Yumen was still very emotional.
When my father was alive, I was very resistant to returning to Yahara, and I didn't want to inherit the shrine.But after his death, Fenggu Yumen followed his grandfather's old path and used his inheritance to repair the shrine.
Fenggu Changwen originally did not agree with Fenggu Yumen to use the money, but Fenggu Yumen persuaded him.After all, this festival is not only the festival of the shrine, but also the succession ceremony of Fenggu Yumen.
With Fenggu Yumen's money, although the repairs of the shrine and the preparations for the festival have gone smoothly, there is still a considerable part of the work that has not been completed, and it will take a lot of work to complete it within two days.
After Fenggu Yumen returned home, she received a call from Ms. Sari from the branch of the Yayuan Shinto Hall.
Ms. Sha Li has been paying attention to Fenggu Yumen, of course she is silently paying attention, instead of leaning closer to find trouble.Fenggu Yumen distributed brochures, and Ms. Shali also got a copy, and asked if she could come to watch the ceremony.
Of course Fenggu Yumen would not refuse.Then Miss Sari asked if she could do her part for the shrine, Fenggu Yumen agreed without hesitation.
It is most suitable for professional things to be done by professional people, which is much more convenient than Fenggu Yumen and Fenggu Changwen directing the workers.
Soon Ms. Sha Li came to help with the officers of the Shinto Hall, and Feng Gu Changwen was invited by Fenggu Yumen to rest in the back, so that the officers of the Shinto Hall could command the shikigami with confidence, so as not to scare the old man.
Even the five monsters that originally existed in Sakurai Shrine were entrusted with important tasks by Fenggu Yumen. With their efforts, Sakurai Shrine took on a completely new look within one day.
Lord Shenming has been in a downturn recently.
If Fenggu Yumen was at home, there was a high probability that he would not show up.
The people from the Shinto Hall have been tossing for a long time, and the Lord Shenming didn't come out to take a look.His thinking seemed to be stuck in a dead end, and he didn't know that he had drilled himself into that dead end.
The Sakurai Shrine has taken on a new look, the dilapidated buildings have been demolished, and even the two mountain tiger angels will be redecorated.Originally there was only one main hall, but with the suggestion and efforts of Ms. Sha Li, the Hall of Worship and the Hall of Coins were added.
Ms. Sari also donated a torii to Sakurai Shrine on behalf of the Yahara Shinto Hall. When she learned that the ceremony was not presided over by a special person, but was presided over by Nagafumi Kazetani, Ms. Sari volunteered to help host the ceremony.But Fenggu Yumen had a better candidate, so they declined Miss Shali's kindness.
July 25.
At nine o'clock in the morning, it is already very hot in summer, but today's Sakurai Shrine has a cool feeling despite the heat.The entire shrine is shrouded in a wonderful artistic conception. All the shimenawa ropes in the shrine are woven and blessed by Fenggu Yumen himself, so the enchantment in the shrine is also full of tranquility and purity.
The ceremony starts at nine o'clock and ends at ten o'clock.Early in the morning, Fenggu Yumen was welcoming guests.
The classmates in the school, other people who heard that there are activities in the shrine, the officers of the Yahara Shinto Hall, and some old people who were invited by Fenggu Changfumi to watch the ceremony—only a few, and they are very old, and they are believers of the Lord God. The priest Takeuchi Taiga who came.
Natsume Takashi came very early today, because Fenggu Yumen invited him to help preside over the ceremony yesterday.
Compared with Miss Sari's spiritual power, Natsume Takashi's spiritual power is undoubtedly purer and closer to the true nature.
It's not good to say that, but whether it's Ms. Sari or the staff of the Shinto Hall, their spiritual power and shikigami are connected to each other. While benefiting from the shikigami, their own spiritual power will also be affected, so they are not close to the gods. of pure power.
There are many new faces in the shrine today.
Guta, Lingjiao, Kamesenjin, Sakuraizaemon, and Sakuraiemon were all enlightened by Kazetani Yumon with paper figurines, and they possessed human bodies for a short time and could be seen by humans.
After becoming a human, Guta is a child of about ten years old, Hibiki is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, Kamesenjin is an old man of five or sixty years old, Zaemon and Youemon are young people, these five people are like Kanna, Yu Nu formed the Kagami Orchestra and was responsible for playing the Kagura, while the Kagami Dance was performed by Fenggu Yumen and some officers of the Shinto Hall.
As the time approached, a few special guests came to the shrine.
Fenggu Yumen personally went to the foot of the mountain to pick up Sanxiao, Bing and some other monsters who looked like humans.
When the time is up, Kagura will play first.
The wind blows through the wind chimes of the shrine, and the wind chimes are mixed with the sound of taiko drums, shamisen, flutes, kotos and other musical instruments.Gua Tai beat the taiko drum, and the sound of the drum rumbled like spring thunder.
The taiko drum kicked off the prelude to Kagura, and also the prelude to the sacrifice, and the ceremony of Sakurai God began.
Accompanied by Kagura, Kazegu Yumon wears a light blue dress representing the gods, and the face is covered with hemp paper with the emblem of Inaka Sakura, showing the image of the gods.
Fenggu Yumen holds the Kagura bell and slowly dances with the Kagura, using the Kagura to show the grace of the gods and singing the stories of the gods.
The sound of drums may be urgent or slow, the sound of flute may be short or long, the sound of zither is crisp, and the sound of shamisen is quiet.Along with the sound of the music, Fenggu Yumen tapped the Kagura bell lightly, and the movements were either thunderous and violent, or stretched like a bright moon, or elegant like a breeze, or firm like a rock.
This is the movement of Fenggu Yumen to the gods, and the dance of Fenggu Yumen to the gods.
The sacrificial scene is extremely solemn, Fenggu Yumen plays the role of a god, and in the sound of divine music, it seems that a real god has come to the world. Whether it is ordinary people or monsters who come to watch the ceremony, they are all displayed wholeheartedly by Fenggu Yumen I lost my mind and immersed myself in his divine dance and Kagura.
Even the audience couldn't get away, let alone the god who was the object of the sacrifice.
The moment the Kagura sounded, the god involuntarily left the well and descended into the ritual as an invisible god.
No one can see Lord Shenming, except Fenggu Yumen.When he danced the god dance, the gods almost merged with him, and he almost became the human incarnation of the gods.
It's just that this incarnation is stronger than the gods, so the gods can only feel passively and cannot interfere with the process of sacrifice.
What did the gods feel?
what is it then?
The gods burst into tears without knowing it.Because in this sacrifice, there is full and overflowing trust and love.
The connection between gods and human beings begins here and goes deeper.
Soon Shenwu entered Chapter 2, which tells the story of the drought, the believers pray to the gods, and the gods fight the drought demon.
The group performances of the Shinto Hall came on stage, some performed believers, and some performed drought demons.
It was the time when the Sakurai God came, and there was a severe drought in Yayuan. There was only one Sakurai well that was enshrined by people. It continuously drew water from the ground and turned it into water in the well to feed the people at that time.
The Drought Demon is irritating and attacking the gods all the time. Just like the drought at that time, the Sakurai God has faced a desperate situation since his arrival.The river was cut off and the water veins dried up. Sakurai God used his divine power to obtain water vapor from the depths of the ground and guide the water source deep in the earth to rise up to meet the needs of human beings.
At that time, Sakurai God was loved by everyone.
It is a pity that love cannot last forever. As the drought passed, the god of Sakurai was gradually forgotten, and then tap water was brought to thousands of households, and few people remembered the god of this well anymore.
The god finally defeated the drought demon, took out the water source from the infinitely dangerous underground, and saved the believers.
The story enters the final chapter.
In the final chapter, the gods are gradually forgotten, but they are still giving blessings to believers and still guarding their believers.
Perhaps it is inevitable to be forgotten, but after all, someone will remember it, and someone will pass it on.Whether it is Sakurai God or Sakurai Shrine.
The divine dance is over, and Fenggu Yumen exits.
As the host, Natsume Takashi began to recite the prayers, explaining the inheritance of the shrine like a god.The original priest, Nagafumi Kazetani, is about to step down, and the new priest, Tamamori Kazeya, will take over the Sakurai Shrine in place of his grandfather.
Lord Shenming was hidden in the sacrifice, but he was speechless when he heard the words.
It turns out that for so many days, Fenggu Yumen didn't pay attention to him, but cared about him very much.
Lord Shenming looked at Fenggu Yumen outside the arena, he had already changed out of the costume he wore during the divine dance, put on the priest's hunting clothes, and returned to the sacrificial ceremony.
Sensing Lord Shenming's gaze, Fenggu Yumen smiled and bent slightly towards Lord Shenming.
If the Lord God is uneasy, then I hope my sacrifice can appease the Lord God.
Fenggu Yumen didn't speak, but Lord Shenming clearly felt what he meant.
"Stupid." Lord Shenming looked up at the sky, the warm and strong summer sun dispelled all the haze.
What a nice weather.
Under the watchful eyes of the gods, Nagafumi Kazeya, who was wearing a sari suit, handed the emblem and seal representing Sakurai Shrine to Yumon Kazeya, which represented the beginning of a new era for Sakurai Shrine.
Natsume Takashi looked at Fenggu Yumen in hunting clothes, his heart was full of excitement, warmth and touch.
The next item is the new priest leading the crowd to worship the gods.
Yu Shoushui sanitized his hands, and then visited and made a wish in the hall of worship with the etiquette of two-two-one.
After the worship, Fenggu Yumen stood in the worship hall, his eyes made contact with the gods, and he bowed slightly.
"My lord, from today onwards, I will be your priest, please give me your advice."
Lord Shenming returned a salute, "Please give me more advice in the future, Mr. Fenggu."
At this time, a pure and white contract was formed between Fenggu Yumen and Sakurai God, the contract disappeared, Fenggu Yumen opened his hand, and the emblem of Inaka Sakura appeared in the palm of his hand.
And the hemp paper on Lord Shenming's face suddenly flew up and dissipated in the air, revealing a face that Shenming was caught off guard.
The deep blue eyes of the gods are like clear spring water, and there is gentleness between the brows and eyes.
Fenggu Yumen was stunned for a moment, at that moment, he seemed to see a bright diamond, or the melting spring snow, or the blooming cherry blossoms.
In short, it is a beautiful scenery.
Since the sacrificial ceremony was carefully prepared by Fenggu Yumen, he was very satisfied with the final result.
If it's just pure music and dance, Fenggu Yumen's works can only be regarded as mediocre, much worse than a real master, after all, he is not a master in this field.
But it is another matter if such music and dance are dedicated to the gods and made into Kagura and Kagami.Fenggu Yumen is a real master in this regard. The secret of Kagura and Kagami is the rich emotion and the resonance that can meet the soul.
Fenggu Yumen performed it himself, not to mention the Sakurai God, even if it was a legendary god with a higher personality, he had to say hello.
The spectators who were lucky enough to witness the sacrifice at Fenggu Yumen and the worshipers who participated in the sacrifice all had different gains.Everyone was blessed by the gods, and those who participated in the sacrifice, such as Natsume Takashi, Miss Sari, Ishikawa Officer, etc., were purified and blessed in Kagura and Kagami.
Natsume Takashi didn't respond, but the officers of the Shinto Hall felt that their spiritual power had become more pure, and even their shikigami showed signs of becoming stronger.
Ms. Sha Li looked at Fenggu Yumen almost with reverence in her eyes. There have been many ceremonies held in the Shinto Hall, but such a situation has never happened.
After worshiping the gods, everyone feels as if their bodies and minds have been purified.
Ueno Ryoko, Nakata Kai, and Takahashi Keisuke are the closest friends who walked with Fenggu Yumen, but they have never seen Fenggu Yumen like this, just looking at it, they feel shining.
Yoshiko Ueno and Umi Nakata are just impressed by the charm of the festival. After watching it, people seem to be purified.Keisuke Takahashi felt it even more deeply. It didn't seem like he had been purified, but he had really been purified.
Takahashi Keisuke had met the ogre before, if Fenggu Yumen hadn't arrived in time, he might have died in the mouth of the ogre.Although the glasses were dropped because of fear at that time, everything was Gaussian blurred, but the evil figure still left an indelible shadow on Keisuke Takahashi.
After escaping from the underground garage, Takahashi Keisuke reluctantly returned home, where he suffered a serious illness, took leave of absence for three days and didn't come to school, he almost lost his mind.
Fenggu Yumen invited the students to come to the celebration, and it may be that he did not intend to relieve Takahashi Keisuke's fear.
Keisuke Takahashi could never forget what happened that day. In every nightmare, monsters would come out to attack him.He originally thought that he would barely survive with this nightmare, but now, the nightmare seemed to have disappeared.
It was no longer a man-eating demon that filled his heart, but a benevolent god.
Takahashi Keisuke feels that his whole body has been reborn, so he is also very devout when he visits the shrine.
Fenggu Yumen stood in the courtyard with a paper fan and greeted everyone. Everyone in the Shinto Hall left first, and then even the monsters who came in disguise also came to say goodbye.
Fenggu Yumen thanked them one by one, and promised to pay a visit in the future.
Seeing a space around Fenggu Yumen, Takahashi Keisuke walked in front of Fenggu Yumen, he hesitated to speak, he had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.
Fenggu Yumen knew the nightmare he had experienced, so he smiled and comforted him first: "All misfortunes will pass, Takahashi looks much better now."
Takahashi Keisuke was stunned, feeling that his heart had been seen through by Fenggu Yumen's gentle eyes, so he asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Fenggu, does God really exist?"
Yumen Fenggu squinted his eyes and laughed, took the paper fan and tapped Keisuke Takahashi's chest lightly, and said: "You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
Takahashi Keisuke relaxed, and thanked Fenggu Yumen.
Yoshiko Ueno and Nakata Kai also came over, and the little yellow-haired man asked, "What is Takahashi talking about with Fenggu?"
Fenggu Yumen said: "Student Takahashi asked me if gods really exist."
"Then does it exist?" Ueno Yoshiko and Nakata Kai's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Fenggu Yumen stretched out his hunting clothes, attracting their attention, "I am a priest, you ask me if gods exist?"
Fenggu Yumen looked at the two of them as if they were fools, "In my world, gods certainly exist."
After chatting with the students for a while, Fenggu Yumen left, and asked the students to visit the shrine by themselves.
To be honest, Sakurai Shrine is not big, but you can also see bamboo forests, cherry forests and ponds when you go out along the trail beside the approach. These are all open to the public, but the vegetable garden and the back mansion are not. Gu Changwen blocked it with Yuyuan.Apart from the leisurely fun in the mountains and the demure atmosphere, there is nothing to praise.
At noon, Fenggu Yumen and the people who came to worship prepared water and pasta.Noodles are prepared in advance, as long as a pot of soup base and saozi are marinated first, after the noodles are cooked, toppings can be eaten, which is more convenient than meals.
At first, only Natsume was helping, but then it became too busy, and five youkai were called in to help.
Teacher Mao also vowed to help, but was kicked out of the kitchen after being caught by Natsume Takashi twice in a row.
After a busy noon, neither the humans nor the monsters were too tired to move in the end.
Fenggu Yumen stuffed a chilled tomato alone, the cold, sour and sweet tomato saved people from the heat in an instant.
"So comfortable!"
Even Mr. Cat, who has been being too helpful and yelling for meat, couldn't help but meow happily.
Fenggu Yumen invited them to the room to blow on the air conditioner, and then treated them to a big meal.
Since he still maintains his human appearance, it doesn't matter if he tells his grandfather that he is a friend.It's just that Feng Gu Changwen looked at the youngest at the dinner table who were only eleven or twelve years old, and the older ones had "friends" who were 70 or [-] years old, and felt a little guilty.
Afterwards, he secretly asked Fenggu Yumen: "Where did you meet this friend? Why is there another one who is about my age?"
Feng Gu Yumen had no choice but to be vague for a while, saying that they met by accident, and wanted to confuse it and let it go, but who knew Feng Gu Changwen didn't ask much.
Feng Gu Changwen fulfilled a wish, and today he looks like a Buddha without regrets, he looks kind and good at everything, of course he doesn't care about such trivial things.
Friends bid farewell one after another, and the bustling shrine gradually became more and more popular.
