After several harassments on the phone, Aikawa Yusheng finally learned the location of Kami Sakura Kongfeng. She was by the river in the shrine.
Although the other party told me reluctantly, she was really a stingy girl.
From a distance, Aikawa Yusheng noticed Kamizakura Kongfeng. Not only her beautiful face, slender waist, slender and well-proportioned legs, but also her standing posture showed a different style from other girls.
She occasionally exudes a kind of independent charm, well, often.
"Why didn't you make Elf Cow today?" After approaching, Aikawa Yusheng stood side by side with her without restraint, breaking the vacuum circle around the girl and asked.
The miko is wearing her regular clothes today, not the miko uniform. It seems that she has no presiding duties today.
"The production has been completed during the day, why don't we wait until now?" Shangying Kongfeng stood on one side of the bridge, looking at the lights on the other side, and said calmly.
The time now is almost evening.
"Why don't you ask me to help you share the burden."
"Ha, I'm afraid you'll be tired." Shang Yingkongfeng laughed softly.
"That's common sense. Am I the kind of person who complains to you when I'm tired? Obviously not." Aikawa Yusheng also smiled and followed her direction and looked to the other side:
There is a semi-open-air altar, and pedestrians are constantly carrying elven cattle to the platform, and then worshiping the statue. Finally, they get a piece of white paper from the staff next to them, walk to the river, and
Light a fire on the white paper, and finally put the white paper into the water and let it float away.
"What are you doing?" Aikawa Yusheng asked as he bumped Ying Kongfeng's arm with his elbow.
"Send soul fire to light the way back to the underworld for the deceased." Shangying Kongfeng explained.
"Did you go and release it?"
"No."
"Then don't let them go. I saw you picking up the ancestors when you were on the 13th. If you don't care about the end, aren't you letting them get lost?"
"..."
"Let's go?" Seeing that Ying Kongfeng didn't respond, Aikawa Yusheng urged again, "Just go and leave with me."
"You?" Shang Yingkongfeng looked at Aikawa Yusheng, a little stunned, "Who are you going to illuminate?"
"I..." Aikawa Yusheng thought for a while. He seemed to be alone and had no ancestors. "I also have many enemies who sympathize with each other. Well, they might come back from Huangquan Kingdom and the first thing they do is to look for me.
Woolen cloth."
I won't go into details on whether to drink and have fun or to take revenge.
"Let's go." Shang Yingkongfeng shook his head and chuckled, then started to take a detour to the other side.
"Although it may not be a good thing to ask, who are you sending it to? Your parents?" Aikawa Yusheng asked.
"Yeah, but only mother." Shang Yingkongfeng said calmly.
"That's it." Aikawa Yusheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
There are some things, it is not necessary to know the details at all, it is enough to just understand them roughly.
Following Sakura Kongfeng, Aikawa Yusheng pretended to take an eggplant, worshiping an unknown god without any piety, and the two of them received the soul-giving fire.
When we were on the other side, because it was getting late, we couldn't see very clearly. Now that I have it in my hand, I can see that it is not a piece of white paper, but a white paper flower. There is a light tray underneath to prevent the paper from falling.
The flowers fall easily into the water.
The position of the stamen was replaced by a fire candle.
The two people walked to the opening of the river bank and walked up a few steps before reaching the water surface. There were burning incense on the river bank. After lighting them, they placed them on the water surface and let them float.
"Let's go, let's see how far this can light up the road." Aikawa Yusheng said with a smile, pulling Sakura Kongfeng back to the shore, and began to follow the Soul Fire along the river bank.
There is only a breeze in the summer evening, and the river flows naturally not very fast. Two people can keep up with the two sparks without any effort.
"To round things off, we are now heading to Huangquan Kingdom. Where is the end of this river?"
"It's Qingze Pond." Shang Yingkongfeng's eyes were fixed on the soul-sending fire. She obviously knew everything here, "Then we will salvage, light, sacrifice, and finally give blessings."
"Hiss - this also comes with your blessing, so forget it, I'll just treat the soul fire as a gift to myself. No matter how sympathetic I am, I still wouldn't be happy to give it to an enemy to bless you."
"How could you curse yourself like this?" Shang Yingkongfeng glanced at him as if reproachfully. Under the night, the warm yellow light produced by the burning fireworks in the river illuminated Miss Miko's usually cold face with extra warmth.
"Immortal people are never afraid of the curse of death." Aikawa Yusheng laughed heartily.
"Ta-da."
The two people paused in unison.
The walls on both sides of the river bank are not straight, but have certain curves and bulges in the stones. Just now, the soul-sending fires of two people got stuck in the gaps between the stones on the wall.
The slow speed of the water flow allowed the two people to easily keep up, but now they were unable to bring the two sparks out of the predicament.
"Is this a bad sign?"
"Maybe so." Both of them walked to the shore and looked at the fireworks below, and Shang Yingkongfeng responded.
"Just because I said it should be changed to 'send to myself', Huang Quanguo is not happy?"
"Heh--, I think so." Shangying Kongfeng chuckled lightly and nodded with a smile.
"Sorry, I hurt you because of me." Aikawa Yusheng spread his hands helplessly.
The two flowers were one behind the other, and the one in front was put down by Aikawa Yusheng, and it was also the first one to get stuck in the gap. The soul-sending fire of Sakura Kongfeng was stuck by Aikawa Yusheng's petals.
live.
"It didn't hurt me, it hurt my mother." Shang Yingkongfeng said calmly, her eyes locked on the soul-sending fire behind her.
"So serious?" Aikawa Yusheng blinked, left the river bank, and quickly found a branch, trying to open two soul-giving fires.
Unfortunately, the river itself is a certain distance from the river bank, and coupled with the height of the guardrail, even if Aikawa Yusheng's hand is very long, it will be difficult to hook the soul-giving fire.
"The disadvantage of the shrine being so clean comes out at this time. I can't even find a longer branch." Aikawa Yusheng turned around, looked around, and finally said with emotion.
"No need, mother's life is inherently rough." Shang Yingkongfeng looked at the Soul-Sending Fire, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Miss Miko, do you want to use your fingertips to solve this problem?" Aikawa Yusheng asked.
Shang Yingkongfeng stretched out her hand, but the slight fluorescence only flickered for a moment and disappeared. She looked at Aikawa Yusheng, smiled and shook her head: "No."
The smile is beautiful, but it seems a little sad.
"Then there's nothing we can do." Yusheng Aikawa sighed and continued walking forward.
"Yes." The miko lady also nodded.
"I'll make a bet with you. There's a way."
"What's the stakes?"
"unimportant."
"thump."
After walking a few steps, Aikawa Yusheng suddenly fell down. He fell a little too hard, crossed the railing, and fell into the river.
He was downstream of the Soul Fire, and the water spray could not affect them. Aikawa Yusheng swam back a few meters, came to them, and helped them out of their predicament.
Then Aikawa Yusheng specially swam to the middle of the river and released the two soul-sending fires.
"Go ahead, get Aunt Ying, and myself, and go on the road in peace."
Then he turned around and looked at Kamizakura Kongfeng, who was staring at him with a headache on his face. Aikawa Yusheng swam to the river below her and looked up at her:
"What the hell, Miss Miko, why don't you help me up? I see that the nearest landing steps are quite far away from here, and I feel it would be a bit embarrassing to swim back."
Shang Yingkongfeng stretched out her hand, and the slight fluorescence flickered for a second this time. She looked at Aikawa Yusheng, smiled and shook her head: "I don't want it."
This time the smile was brighter.
"You're being cruel." He raised his middle finger quietly, sighed, and Aikawa Yusheng swam back.
The next moment, he was standing next to Shangying Kongfeng, all wet.
"Are you totally powerless against rivers in the wild?" Miss Miko hugged her breasts, which she had not mentioned yet, and stared at Aikawa Yusheng.
"Yes, I want to swim when I see it." Aikawa Yusheng didn't care about the girl's eccentricity at all. He smiled and nodded and admitted. Then he wanted to pull her arm, but then realized that his hands were still wet, so he went to himself.
Go forward:
"Hurry up, your mother and I are going far away, and we have to continue escorting them until they arrive at Qingze Pond."
"Please don't juxtapose yourself with my mother, it sounds weird." He raised a slender arm, rubbed the bridge of his nose, followed Yingkongfeng, followed by Aikawa Yusheng, and looked at him.
Wearing clothes that cling to his body:
"Are you just going to keep walking like this?" she asked with a frown.
"When it's delivered, I'll go back to the Imperial Palace to change my clothes. After all, I've lived here for a month and I still have several sets of clothes." Aikawa Yusheng said nonchalantly, "You don't have to worry about my physical condition, right?"
The corners of Shang Yingkongfeng's mouth slightly raised for a moment, but she immediately turned her head, brushed her flying black straight hair, and looked at the soul-sending fire that was gradually going away.
"Then let's go."
Sending Soul Fire arrived at Qingze Pond safely, and Aikawa Yusheng and Kamizakura Kongfeng returned to the Imperial Palace.
"Why don't you go for a walk first? I'll take a bath and I'll find you afterward."
"I'll wait for you in the living room."
"OK."
"Why are you back again and you're still wet?" Hu Yuejingxue asked in surprise as she looked at Aikawa Yusheng who was looking for clothes in his room.
"I teased Shang Ying, but she got angry and threw me into the lake. What can I do?" Aikawa Yusheng told lies seriously.
"It's a good thing to throw it away. I will freeze the lake water into ice again." Hu Yuejing said with a smile under the snow.
"Sure enough, like a teacher, there is also a disciple, and you led them all to bad."
--
"What's the noise outside?" Aikawa Yusheng, who had changed his clothes, returned to the living room and asked Shang Yingkongfeng.
The music started playing when he was halfway through taking a shower.
"The accompaniment of the Bon dance." The miko lady replied.
"Let's go and have a look."
"Each dance is fifteen minutes long, and the interval is fifteen minutes. This dance is probably over halfway through. You can go over there and it's over. If you want to watch it, you can go to the balcony on the third floor to watch it."
As if anticipating Aikawa Yusheng's answer, Kamizakura Kongfeng said immediately.
"Let's go to the third floor."
Aikawa Yusheng walked towards the stairs, and after noticing that there were no footsteps behind him, he turned back and stared at Sakura Kongfeng.
"..."
Then she stood up.
As for sighing or anything like that, Aikawa Yusheng didn't hear it.
The view from the third floor is unexpectedly good. The Imperial Palace is built at a high place, and you can indeed see brightly lit places in the distance from the third floor.
A group of people formed a circle, some were beating gongs, others were playing drums, and there was a makeshift square platform in the middle. The lead dancer danced on it. Dancers who knew how to dance could go up and dance directly around the square platform.
Umbrellas, lanterns and other auxiliary decorations can be collected for free at the side.
It's very lively, but as Sakura Kongfeng said, after a round of dancing, there will be a break.
"It's quite interesting. Let's go and have a look. There's no atmosphere at this distance." Aikawa Yusheng said.
"Okay." Shang Yingkongfeng nodded.
"Can you dance?"
"Won't."
"Ah?" Unexpectedly, this was the answer. Aikawa Yusheng stopped talking and looked at Shang Yingkongfeng hesitantly, "You are not lying to me, are you?"
"yes."
"..."
"Because I know you want to persuade me to jump up, but my answer is no." Shangying Kongfeng smiled and turned to look at him.
"I was amazed after seeing you dance last time. This is my long-cherished wish, Miss Miko."
"no."
"Look at the fact that I heroically fell into the water just to save your mother?"
"...No way either."
"Actually, the bet I just made was for you to dance the Bon dance. I forgot to mention it." Aikawa Yu said loudly, clapping her hands fiercely.
"My bet is that you have a way." Shangying Kongfeng said in a tone of 'What are you talking about?'
"...Thank you for believing in me."
"You're welcome."
"Then let's make another bet. Let's bet on who can go down to the first floor first. If I win, you can jump. If you win, you don't have to jump." Aikawa Yusheng said with a bang.
"Okay." But what he didn't expect was that Shangying Kongfeng actually nodded in agreement.
Then her body floated up, and the girl looked at Aikawa Yusheng with a smile: "When will it start?"
"...How do you use magic?" Aikawa Yusheng was stunned.
"Did you say you can't use it?"
"Shang Ying!" Aikawa Yusheng said heartbrokenly, "Where are your principles and your persistence? How can you use magic for personal gain just because of such a trivial matter?"
"This is within the palace, even within the scope of the Imperial Palace. Everyone who can enter and leave here is not an ordinary person."
"Okay, but it doesn't matter, I have a way," Yusheng Aikawa nodded, and he also smiled, "The game begins."
After hearing this, the wind slowly drifted downstairs, but she was still thinking about whether to wait for Aikawa Yusheng.
But would it be too false to let him win like this?
It's better to win by yourself. The worst thing to do is to see how pitiful he is later.
"call out!"
"Paji."
An unknown object suddenly fell next to her, making a sound of breaking through the air, and brought up her long black hair.
The unknown object that fell to the ground stood up, patted the dust on itself, looked up at Shang Yingkongfeng, and laughed arrogantly with his hands on his hips:
"I'm sorry, Miss Miko, this big monster can also fly, so I'm not afraid of magic or anything like that."
He can also fly! He will still fly at a faster speed!
