"Where did they go in Pingji!" Yuan Shan and Ye could not help frowning and complaining when they heard the busy tone on the phone.

Obviously, Hattori Heiji said that he invited Mori Ran and Conan to Osaka, but they snatched Conan and left her and Mori Ran to hang out.

"Maybe there is something else." Mao Lilan laughed twice, comforting his friend who was on the verge of getting angry.

"I always feel that when the two of them get together, a lot of things will happen."

"Really."

He Ye stomped his feet, inevitably feeling a little annoyed.

"Let's go, Lan." As soon as she raised her head, she raised Mao Lilan with arrogance and was ready to move forward.

"Let's go find Heiji and Conan."

"Huh?" Mao Lilan's expression froze, "He Ye, do you know where they went?"

"do not know!"

He Ye obviously hadn't calmed down yet.

"But I seem to have heard Heiji say that he is going to some shrine."

Kazuha tapped his head and thought for a while, "It seems to be some kind of Nonomiya Shrine."

It was a shrine she had never heard of.

"However, I don't believe we can't find it!" Yuan Shan and Ye's fighting spirit remained undiminished.

"If you let me know what Heiji is doing, I will definitely make him look good!"

However, it turns out that finding this Nonomiya Shrine is not easy at all.

Not to mention that with modern advanced technology, even though He Ye and Lan searched the map network, they couldn't find any information related to Nonomiya Shrine.

The few reports were also related to the Fire God Festival held at Nonomiya Shrine last year, without mentioning the location of the shrine at all.

As for the map, let alone, there is no trace of Nonomiya Shrine.

"He Ye..." Mao Lilan, who was being dragged around, was almost exhausted, and bent down with her legs propped up to pant.

"Did you really hear the name correctly?"

"Impossible." He Ye was also exhausted.

She wiped off the sweat that was about to drip, and inevitably began to doubt her memory.

"I clearly remember that it was the name that Heiji wrote in the notebook before."

At that time, Hattori Heiji seemed to be distracted while writing and drawing casually in his notebook, and he wrote about Nonomiya Shrine.

When she curiously poked her head over to ask, he was very nervous and hid it all at once, faltering and explaining for a long time that she wanted to change the subject, but refused to tell He Ye what she wanted to do.

Because of this, Toyama and Ye had a deep impression of the shrine's name, so it shouldn't be said that they remembered it wrong?

But it's true that they haven't found it for so long.

"Where the hell is Nonomiya Shrine—!"

"Huh? Are you looking for Nonomiya Shrine?"

In the end, it was the old grandfather passing by who showed them the way.

"That shrine is quite remote and not very famous."

"If you haven't lived here for a long time, most people don't know about it."

The old man stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

"But it should be useless for you to go now."

"Nonomiya Shrine will only be open to the public for a short time during the year-end Fire God Festival."

"The rest of the time, no foreign guests are accepted."

But in the end it went in.

"He, Kazuha..." Hattori Heiji subconsciously took a few steps back when he saw Toyama Kazuha who obviously had a rather bad expression on his face.

"How will you be here……"

"Sister Lan!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Conan hurried to Mao Lilan's side to avoid being affected by the flames of war.

"I just want to ask, why are you here next time?"

Yuan Shan and Ye's tone was quite calm.

Then in the next second, she took two steps straight forward, wanting to grab Heiji Hattori's collar and shout, "Do you know how hard it is for me and Ran to find this place!"

Hattori Heiji, who was caught off guard by the yelling, buzzed in his ears for a moment.

He was not to be outdone: "What are you doing, He Ye!"

"Really, who did I come to this shrine for?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to book an appointment at this shrine!"

"How do I know who you are for! You idiot Heiji!"

"Huh?! You are the idiot! Idiot and Ye!"

"Of course I did it for—"

"Please stop, both of you." Riko Tennai clapped her hands, interrupting the childish quarrel between the two.

"This is a shrine, the quarrel between the two will disturb the gods."

"Ah!" Shocked by what stupid thing he did just now, He Ye hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"I am so sorry!"

She smoothly pushed Hattori Heiji on the other side: "Heiji, you should apologize soon too!"

"Master Kagutsu should not blame the two for their offense just now."

Riko Tennouchi paused for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

"Actually, there is a Kagura dance performance at the shrine temporarily today."

"I wonder if any of you are interested in watching it together?"

****

The Fire God Festival will not start until evening.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Gojo?"

Seeing the familiar white-haired man, Mao Lilan pulled Conan forward to say hello.

"I didn't expect you to be here."

"Lan, do you know him?" He Ye whispered in Mao Lilan's ear.

"You look so handsome!"

"Tsk." Hattori Heiji smacked his lips on the side.

Obviously, when he saw Gojo Satoru before, at most he thought this person was a bit strange, but for some reason, when he saw the white-haired man now, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Ok?"

Conan glanced suspiciously at Gojo Satoru and Yoshino Junpei who was holding something like a long knife behind him, feeling puzzled.

Didn't he remember the dark red-haired boy before?

Why is there only one student left now?

Conan looked around at the fire and altar that had been basically prepared.

Could it be—that the one who wants to dance is Tanjirou?

"Wow!" Suddenly the surrounding fires were ignited, and Kazuha excitedly tugged Hattori Heiji's sleeves with an excited expression.

"Is it about to start!"

The white-haired conjurer who was chatting with Mao Lilan paused and quickly turned to look at the altar.

"It's about to start." Qiang Qiang was no longer in the mood for chatting, his blue eyes were faintly visible behind the sunglasses, and the bright orange fire light was vaguely reflected in those eyes.

At the same time, the other lights in the shrine were also quietly extinguished, leaving only the burning fire around the altar, silently illuminating one side.

A dull drum sound came from nowhere, hitting everyone's hearts heavily.

The heavy drum sound seemed to clear away all the complicated thoughts in everyone's hearts, and the invisible sound waves spread round and round, spreading the drum sound throughout the shrine little by little.

This is also the signal for the beginning of Kagura, the god of fire.

A boy in a black costume came slowly from a distance.

The bright red former sky crown on his head is even more eye-catching and luxurious under the reflection of the flames.The flame-like patterns on the costume fluttered on the sleeves. From a distance, it looked like flames suddenly appearing in the air, lingering around the young man.

Most of the young man's face was covered by the facial tissue, and only a touch of vermilion at the end of his eyes could be vaguely seen from the slight gap, as well as the markings on his forehead that seemed to be fluttering like flames.

Tanjiro held a branch of sacred wood in his hand, and the branches of the sacred wood were tied with strips of vermilion cloth cut to look like flames.While waving, it was as if a real flame was burning blazingly on the branches of the Shenmu.

He walked up to the altar slowly, and the slight sound made by the rubbing of the red leather sandals against the wooden platform was infinitely amplified in the silent environment at the moment, resounding in Tanjirou's ears, deafening.

He squatted in the middle of the altar.

The facial tissue blocked his face and also blocked his sight.

He couldn't see the expressions on other people's faces at this moment, the cold air spread on his face, bringing a slight coolness.

There was the slight beeping sound of the flame burning in his ears, as well as his own steady and quiet breathing, the sound of rushing blood, and the sound of a steady beating heartbeat.

He slowly raised his hands with the soft prelude music, and his wide sleeves drooped heavily, laying out gorgeous and complicated patterns like flowers on the ground.

The second drum beat followed!

As if he had received some signal, Tanjiro opened his sleeves suddenly at that moment, and the cloth strips on the Shenmu branch danced along with it, like a flame jumping up in a flash, and suddenly exploded in the air.

With the gradually accelerating rhythm and drumbeat, his hands and body movements also gradually accelerated.

Waving, jumping, flipping... every move was silently dissolved into the dance, and the sleeves flew down, as if there were really burning flames suddenly appearing in the air, silently surrounding the dancing boy.

There seemed to be a faint sound of a Kagura bell.

"Ah!" Mao Lilan exclaimed a little, her eyes widened, she covered her mouth and looked at the young man who kept flipping and jumping on the altar.

Her eyes were already moist at some point, but apart from opening her mouth wide and staring intently, she couldn't utter a word.

Tanjiro's whole set of movements on the altar has been completed, and now he is repeating the second dance.

There seemed to be a faint phantom quietly appearing above Tanjiro's head, it was doing exactly the same movements as Tanjiro, and bright flames lingered around its body.

"Tanjiro!"

Gojo Satoru suddenly shouted from the audience, grabbed the Japanese sword in Yoshino Junpei's hand and threw it on the stage.

As if he had expected it, Tanjiro raised his hand to catch the knife firmly.

The next moment, the blade was unsheathed, and the black blade reflected a clear flame light.

Tanjiro dropped the sacred tree branch in his hand, and took the Hirinkana instead.

He sucked in a big breath silently, the cool air made his lungs freeze.The blood was rushing and roaring in the blood vessels, and the gorgeous flames whizzed out of the air in an instant following Tanjiro's movement of swinging the knife!

The flames below the stage seemed to be moved by the flames on the stage, and swayed with the flames that spewed out from the blade when Tanjirou breathed and exchanged, and burst suddenly in the dark night.

Fierce and gorgeous flames surrounded the boy, and the phantom above Tanjiro's head became more and more real and vivid.

He was wearing clothes almost identical to Tanjiro's, with long crimson hair flowing behind him.

A gorgeous flame was also wafting from His sword, which reflected with the flame on Tanjiro's sword, almost illuminating half of the night.

——At this moment, the boy in the flames

Like the god of fire.
