The place where you got off the bus was not too close, and something happened on the way - Akane Kirino twisted her feet and wasted some time. When the Sogoku and his men arrived at the intersection of Sijotong and Karasuma, the mountain tour had already begun. .
Fortunately, all he missed was the opening ceremony of the child cutting off the bet rope. At the forefront of the patrol team, the flag of the "Zhongyuan Club" had just set off.
"Catch up..."
The street was already full of people, and there were several floors inside and outside.
However, relying on his height advantage, Zong Gu could easily cross the crowd in front of him and directly see the team that had just begun the parade.
The flag bearer happened to walk past the front. In addition to the three big characters "Zhiyuanhui", two divine patterns on the flag were also printed on it.
One is the divine pattern of the Hachiman god, which is the Zuosanba pattern;
Another cucumber-shaped cut is the divine pattern of the NiuTou Tianwang, or Su Xiaowuzun. This is also the main reason for the poor sales of cucumbers in Kyoto, especially in the Sijo area during the Garden Festival.
Following the banner of the "Zhiyuan Club" was an old man with a solemn expression. Zong Gu looked familiar and didn't remember the other party's specific duties, but only knew that he had a high status.
“——Songgu.”
Akane Kirino tiptoed and pulled his arm.
"I can't see..."
The same is true for Hongzi on the other side, not to mention the already petite Chaowuling.
At the annual summer event, citizens and tourists who came early will choose the best viewing location next to the streets of Sizhaotong at five or six in the morning. There are too many people in front of them.
"Does your ankle hurt?"
"Yeah, there's no big problem. I want to see outside!"
"It's just an old man from a shrine, there's nothing to see..." Soya was powerless, and his eyes suddenly raised, "The long sword is coming."
Akane Kirino also looked over, and there was no sound for the time being.
Behind the high-rise "Long Sword" flag, the sling car that has been the first in the past years of patrols is slowly moving forward under the guidance of dozens of strong men.
The body of the car is huge, and a long knife erected on the top that is directly drawn into the sky, shining with cold light under the rising sun.
The long sword is fifteen meters high as a whole, full of oppression. The long sword that is about to be chopped down carries a sharp and unstoppable momentum. No wonder it has been the leader in the ritual patrol that has been passed down for thousands of years.
The car slowly advanced and gradually arrived at their side.
"No matter how many times you watch it, it's still so beautiful..."
Not only is it awesome, but it is also very gorgeous with long swords and carriages covered with golden and red brocade.
Hongzi looked over there, "I like this gorgeous style very much, and I won't get tired of it no matter how I look at it. It would be even better if I could touch it, but unfortunately, the long sword would not let the woman go up."
He looked at her at Wuling and said, "After the tour is over, I will find an opportunity to take you up."
“Hey…”
"Don't tell anyone."
“Hey…”
Hongzi opened her mouth, still a little unbelievable.
Zong Gu turned his head and looked at them, then looked ahead.
The huge sling is divided into two upper and lower floors. Between a pair of wheels on the front of the bottom floor, two old men holding paper fans standing.
The slings weighing more than ten tons can only be driven by human traction, and they are the ones responsible for issuing orders and directing the slings to move forward or stop.
The upper layer was filled with musicians, holding flutes horizontally and playing the tune of the garden. In front of them were three young children with white faces.
At the ceremony of "Long Kyuuchijidu" on July 1st, Kyoko told him that only Long Kyuuchijiu still retains the tradition of a real child, and other children on the mountain kyuuchi have used dolls instead It's right.
On the hood of the car, there were also several figures sitting in four corners, holding thick ropes that fixed the long knife above.
"I kept thinking, what if the long knife suddenly fell down?" Akane Kirino suddenly spoke.
Soya looked at the dozens of figures walking in front of the long sword shackle, most of which were frosted and were members of the Preservation Association. Among them, he also saw Mr. Matsuda who had greeted Emperor Jue before.
"They must have thought about this question for a long time."
"So they are walking in front... Even if they fall down, they will hit them?"
“…”
Soya couldn't keep up with Akane Kirino's brain circuit, so she could only tell her not to be a crow's mouth.
Her voice was not small, and someone in front of her looked back, and there was a stern look. She grabbed Zong Gu's arm and pretended to be a tiger's power.
The huge and heavy giant straps are connected and fixed only with ropes. They make a creaking sound while moving forward.
Accompanied by the sound of the flute, the long sword slowly drove past several people and continued along the four gates.
The second roller coaster that followed quickly followed, with the flag leading the way for "Mantis Mountain".
Akane Kirino couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, Mantis Mountain is so small..."
Although the lottery had already been drawn to determine the order of mountain signs outside the fixed order such as Long Dao Shi and Hangu Shi, it was not until this time that Zonggu noticed that Mantis Mountain was the second.
"Is it 'mountain'..."
The mountain sign that follows the long sword sign is usually called "Shan Yiban", and it all depends on the luck of the lottery drawer.
"Last year, Mantis Mountain was also a 'mountain'."
"Yeah."
After winning the "Shan Yi" for two consecutive years, it seems that the drawers are lucky. Perhaps because they had more contact last night, Zong Gu also became happy for Mantis Mountain.
He turned around and said, "Can you see?"
“…”
He looked at him at Wuling, then spread his arms.
Zong Gu squatted down, she hugged her, and looked at the mantis mountain gradually approaching from his height.
Unlike the long sword, the smaller Mantis Mountain can only push it for more than a dozen people and soon came to them.
The mantis model on the roof cover of the roller coaster is in a fixed position at this time, and only sways slightly with the moving body.
He leaned towards Wuling to his ear and said that when he was about to stop at the corner, someone would be able to control the mechanism.
"Ring the corner..."
There are several vertical and horizontal straight trees at the bottom of Mantis Mountain. One is for the convenience of implementation, and the other is to directly lift the roller coaster when you reach the corner of the intersection and turn the direction of your progress.
This method is only suitable for small roller coasters, while slings weighing more than ten tons can only be turned in another ancient way.
"The large-scale steering process is very imposing and worth a look." Chao Wuling looked at his side face, "Do you want to go and see?"
During the process of the Yamatsu patrol, he would go through three turns in total, following the four gates and moving forward. The first corner was at the intersection of Kawabara-chotong.
"There should be a lot of people standing there on Kawahara-chotsu." The high observability means there are many spectators. Soya hugged her legs, "Is there still a place?"
"You can see it in the building next to you, I know a good location." Chao Wuling said.
Although the long sword and horns have left, the car is moving slowly and it is easy to catch up. This is why the entire mountain and horns patrol lasts for two or three hours.
"So, then go and have a look."
Soya let her go and told Akane Kirino and Hongko about this, both of them were very surprised.
"Really? I haven't seen the twisting turn up close yet."
"Don't look forward too much." Chao Muling said as he walked, "Looking down from a high place, although you see more comprehensively, you will lose a lot of immersive oppression."
"It's okay." Akane Kirino followed, "I was too far away, and I didn't feel anything either."
Chao Wuling didn't say much, and let Zong Gu lead the way ahead.
The roadside was crowded with people, but it was not too late to get out of reach, but it was difficult to walk.
Because he was worried about getting separated, Soya looked back from time to time and saw Akane Kirino and Hongko following him before turning around.
In this way, we walked all the way to the Sijo Bridge, where the intersection of Sijotong and Kawahara Town were at the intersection. Before the patrol team could catch up, the intersection was already crowded with people. Asukiri led the three of them into the building next to Kawahara Town Station.
inside.
This is a shopping mall. Because the streets are closed, business has been temporarily suspended. The window area facing the intersection below is not very large, with only two or two floors of windows.
At this time, all the nudes dressed up in the second floor window moved out and placed aside. There were more than a dozen bamboo-woven tables and chairs inside, which were already full of people.
He glanced at Wuling and took the three of them upstairs.
The mannequin in the third floor window was still not spared. At this time, only a few people sat inside, and there were still many empty seats left.
Zong Gu and the other four sat together, forming a table, and an old man in gray and white sacrificial robes looked over and greeted Chao Wuling.
"Miss Ling."
"Um."
After sitting for a while, someone brought tea and snacks. Akane Kirino and Hongzi stared at the place where he disappeared for a long time until Soya reminded him softly.
