Chapter 040

The Zhenhua Festival will start in the evening, and it is still early after leaving Fujiwara House.However, if Tai Ming wanted to take Pei Hongjing to the blood cherry tree, he would have to walk for a long time.

On the way, Tai Ming didn't say a word, which really bored the fox Pei Hongjing.So she began to squint again, trying hard to recall the plots she had seen before time travel.When I read the comics before, I just read it briefly. I wanted to find a warm afternoon with pistachios, a cup of green tea, and read that beautiful comic book carefully while lying on the chair. , I know that the world is really changeable, and in the blink of an eye, the world I live in has changed.

The location of the blood cherry tree is on the mountainside in the north of the capital, and there is a temple for practicing in the mountains.The main purpose of Zhenhua Festival is to allow Akane Yuangong, who possesses the power of the White Dragon God, to purify the cherry blossoms that bloomed after absorbing the filth in the capital for a year.

The specific situation is not limited to these, one month before the start of the ceremony, the relevant personnel began to prepare.As an onmyoji, Tai Ming has a great connection with this. His task is to prevent those strange cherry blossoms from being scattered by the wind before they are in full bloom, and they will float into the capital to harm the people.As for the monks practicing in the temple, they still have to continue to do various rituals and closely related ceremonies to assist them.

All this was told by Tai Ming, because the walk was so boring, so she couldn't help being bored, so she chatted with Tai Ming without saying a word, and she knew this by the way.

The sky is getting late, especially on the mountain road after afternoon.

"The aura here is so strange, it feels so depressing, it's so dull." Pei Hongjing lay lazily on Taiming's shoulder, looking at the changes in the aura around him, while looking at the scenery in the mountains, "Look , The surface of the branches and leaves of these plants seems to be covered with a thick layer of gray stains, almost covering the original green."

The plants all over the mountains are lush with branches and leaves. When spring comes, everything sprouts and sprouts. It should be full of vitality.But the plants here are inexplicably mixed with an indescribably strange aura in the aura that should be growing vigorously.Although it was very faint and subtle, it couldn't escape Pei Hongjing's fox eyes.

"Dream? You said there are gray things covering these flowers and trees?" Tai Ming asked suddenly after hearing Pei Hongjing's sentiments.

"Yeah, it's like a warehouse that hasn't been tidied up all year round. The household items inside are covered with thick dust."

Tai Ming was silent for a while, Pei Hongjing looked at him secretly, and found that although his face was expressionless, there was worry and anxiety in his eyes, and his steps became heavier.

After seeing the change in his eyes, Pei Hongjing suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, so he asked, "Is there something wrong? Could it be the filthy air from the blood cherry tree coming out?" Pei Hongjing muttered, and then emphasized, "But those things don't look like the filthy color I saw. The last time I saw it was black. This time, those things are gray."

The pace under his feet obviously did not slow down. On the contrary, Tai Ming walked faster and faster and said: "Tomorrow will be the day when the blood cherry trees will be completely dyed red and open. I don’t see it, but I can feel something is wrong, I think it’s just the traces left by the uncontrollable filth.”

"Oh, but it just makes me feel very uncomfortable. It's dirty, as if I haven't bathed for many years." After hearing Tai Ming's explanation, Pei Hongjing sighed another sentence that was completely irrelevant to the topic.

The path in the mountain is completely paved with stone steps made of red rock one after another. After years of accumulation, they all turn blue or light blue.Weeds are overgrown on both sides of the path, and green moss grows on both sides of each stone slab.If it weren't for the frequent people walking around in the middle of the stone slab, I'm afraid it would be occupied by these moss.

The temperature in the mountains is very cool.From time to time, there is a wind blowing, and it is cold and cold.As soon as the wind blows, the weeds on both sides of the road will make a "rustling" sound, surrounding the entire winding mountain path and swaying non-stop.The higher you go, the narrower the road becomes.From the width that several people can walk side by side when going up the mountain at the beginning, it has become the distance that only two people can walk side by side.

Tai Ming took Pei Hongjing along these winding paths, and finally arrived at the temple before sunset.

After seeing the so-called blood cherry tree, Pei Hongjing was really shocked.

This tree really can't be described as the thickness of an embrace. It has an old trunk with bronze and dark brown colors. Visually, it may be as close as several houses are lined up.Compared with the whole tree trunk in a forest, it is simply superior to others.Not to mention those luxuriant branches and leaves, all intertwined to form a pure natural umbrella of the sky.What shocked Pei Hongjing the most was the bright red petals.Each petal, like fresh blood dripping from the body, was stabilized into the shape of petals with magic, and petal by petal, the lush flowers of the tree were pieced together.

Obviously, the petals on this tree and a small cluster are white and pale pink.It seems that the color has not been dyed well, so the flowers are in a semi-open state, and this cluster of flowers placed in the entire blood-red background can be seen from a distance.After sizing it up for a while, Pei Hongjing felt panicked, so she simply closed her eyes and stopped looking.

After Taiming came here, because there were still important things to discuss with the monks, Pei Hongjing originally planned to slip off his shoulders and visit the temple alone, but before his body took any action, he received his Warning: "Don't leave me, stay on your shoulders."

After dispelling Pei Hongjing's idea of ​​going on a tour, he negotiated with the monks and brought Pei Hongjing under the blood cherry tree again.But this time, instead of standing still and watching, he walked round and round the blood cherry tree.

Pei Hongjing didn't know what he was going to do, and asked curiously: "What are you doing walking around it? There's nothing particularly interesting about it."

"Find the best place to lay the enchantment. Before all its petals are in full bloom, it must be blocked with an enchantment, and none of them can float away." Tai Ming said.

"Then do you want to do it now? Do you want me to go aside so as not to hinder you? You can do it by yourself, is it okay?"

"No problem." In the cold reply, the tone of affirmation made Pei Hongjing lie on his shoulder and slack off again.He even closed his eyes, restrained his aura, and whispered quietly, for fear that his single action would disturb Tai Ming's work.

Unknowingly, the sky was completely dark.

Under the leadership of the abbot, the monks in the temple placed the required lighting fixtures and lamp stands one by one according to the positions selected during the day, and lit torches dipped in rosin.In an instant, the fat scent of rosin oil wafted in the air, which also teased out the glutton in Pei Hongjing's stomach.

"Tai Ming, I'm hungry." At this moment, Tai Ming had already arranged the barrier, and was taking Pei Hongjing to rest on the blue stone under another bush not far from the blood cherry tree.

"Monks don't eat after noon, they only have breakfast in the morning." Tai Ming's words immediately made Pei Hongjing feel that the world was gloomy.How could she forget this? The famous kaiseki cuisine in later generations is precisely because in the severe winter, those young monks couldn't help being hungry, so they warmed up the stones and put them in their arms close to their stomachs , to use this warmth to relieve hunger, after a long time, such a famous dish came out.

As soon as Tai Ming's words fell, Pei Hongjing's stomach began to growl in a very embarrassing way.

"Be patient, wait until the morning dawns, and you won't have to starve." To be honest, it's okay if Tai Ming doesn't say anything, but when he talks about Pei Hongjing, he feels like his mouth is watering.What she wants most now is to go back to the portable space and have a big meal.But he was afraid that the secrets hidden in his body would be exposed, so he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the hungrier he became. Finally, when he was really hungry, he couldn't help thinking about it and decided to get a plate of raspberries to eat.

She slid off Taiming's shoulders and slipped directly into his arms, wagging her nine tails, looking at him nervously, and said to him in her heart: "I'm really hungry, I have something to fill my stomach Come on." As he said that, with a thought, in the blink of an eye, Tai Ming found that a large plate of raspberries appeared in front of the fox who was leaning on him like a human sofa.

In the white porcelain plate, there are piles of red raspberries piled up on top of hills.It is exuding a strong sweet and fruity aroma, and the emerald green leaves under the raspberries are like leaves carved from jade, rich and full in color, fresh and eye-catching.Red and green correspond to each other, which makes people unable to move their eyes away and at the same time increases their appetite.

These raspberries were planted by Pei Hongjing himself. When Akram was imprisoned in Lizao’s yard a while ago, Pei Hongjing had no one to chat with him during the day, so he worked in the space and became a free Tao Yuanming, enjoying The leisurely life of returning to the countryside.The raspberry seeds were found in the back cover room in the courtyard. Fortunately, the time difference in the space is not to mention, and there is a good spiritual spring to irrigate and nourish, so those crops that have been specially cared for by her are indeed growing well. Very tempting.When there is a good harvest, there is even more joy, just like this plate of raspberry fruit, which is juicy and delicious, and it is full of trees.At that time, Pei Hongjing ate while picking, cheerfully forgetting all her troubles.

Then again, a large plate of raspberries suddenly fell from the sky on his knees, which really surprised Taimin.

Looking at the fox in his arms, his eyes were narrowed with a smile, he was holding a plate happily and contentedly, and wagging his nine tails joyfully. That sly look made Tai Ming feel a strange feeling in his heart. He had a faint feeling. Such a luxury, if it can last longer.
