"Adults can move around freely in most areas of the Holy Mountain, but please do not go near this temple or the Shenzi Pavilion. The pure fire may burn strangers."
A miko dressed in red and white clothes, with her hair tied up with red and white sandalwood paper, said to Lu Jian.
As Kohaku's follower, Lu Kan is treated like her family and can live directly in the shrine.
"What about Shen Ying?"
Lu Tan asked again.
"If you want to visit Shen Ying, you can go to the worship hall, where you can directly touch Shen Ying's divine body. Shen Ying is the body of the first generation of God's children and has spirituality. Please treat it with caution."
The miko's voice lacked emotion.
"Is it actually the physical body of the first generation..."
Lu Tan was a little surprised and thought of something else.
"By the way, that little girl we brought here together, where does she live?"
"She is in the side hall, and the goddess witch is preparing to test her spirituality."
"I want to test my spirituality. I want to take a look. Could you please show me the way?"
With the idea of not seeing anything in vain, Lu Tan asked the miko to take him to the side hall. This is the shrine in the northwest of the main hall. Under the dark blue eaves, a little girl is wearing white clothes.
, kneeling on the mat, in front of her, an old miko was taking out a yellow talisman and placing it in front of her.
"Will the miko look at the content on the paper later, exclaim something like the third level of fighting power, and then expel her from the shrine?"
Lu Tan joked.
The miko lady looked at Lu Tiao strangely.
"Just kidding."
Lu Tan smiled.
"There should be nothing wrong with her. Although she is not extremely talented, she at least has some spirituality. There is nothing wrong with her being an ordinary miko in a shrine."
The miko lady explained again, still without emotion, but explaining this matter was already very expressive. Lu Tian guessed that she simply didn't like to express her emotions.
"That's good."
Lu Tran watched from afar as the little girl was tested by the old miko. The results seemed to be good or bad. Just as the miko lady beside him said, this little girl should be able to become a miko.
"When she becomes a miko, she will get a new name, and everything in the past will have nothing to do with her."
The miko lady said again.
"That's fine."
Thinking of the tragic situation on Changfeng Island, Lu Tun nodded.
"Can you take me to see Shenying?"
He asked again.
The miko lady glanced at Lu Tan, probably thinking that this guy was here for a trip and wanted to see everything.
But she remained silent and only motioned for Lu Tan to follow.
Lu Tiao glanced at the Zi Pavilion. Ever since the arrow shot today, there had been no movement there. It seemed that the officiating witch was not too busy, and maybe she was hiding somewhere to take a nap.
"It's so high. You can only fly up to such a high attic by using magic."
Lu Tan sighed, and then thought about how Amber would have to climb up and shoot arrows if he sensed dirt in the future, which made him feel a little funny.
The miko lady didn't respond. She probably thought Lu Tian's statement was a bit stupid.
As the two walked along the road lined with torii gates, they could see some shrine maidens cleaning the house. It seemed that shrine maidens could only live in the area behind the shrine gate, while priests and other priests could only perform their duties on the lower level.
So, he is the only man on this floor?
Lu Tan thought boredly.
The shrine maidens saluted the young shrine maiden who led the way. Her status seemed to be quite high. Lu Jian guessed that maybe she was originally one of the shrine maiden candidates, but she gave up because of her lack of strength and stayed here to work.
What is surprising is that inside Wajima Taisha Shrine, the frequency of cherry blossoms falling has decreased a lot. It seems that the tall and huge canopy scatters more petals outside, and the position closer to the tree trunk looks even more lonely.
There were two shrine maidens cleaning under the sacred cherry tree. Lu Jian felt a little strange. The work was probably not endless and could never be finished, but seeing the seriousness on their faces, it felt like it was just an ordinary matter.
"This is Shen Ying's divine body."
The miko lady said something.
There is a huge rope tied to the thick tree trunk, and there are many white royal coins hanging around it. It looks a little dark here, like the boundary between two worlds. As long as you cross here, you can enter.
the other side.
Lu Tan glanced at the connection between the tree trunk and the ground. It looked like ordinary soil. He planned to wait until night to fulfill Hong Ye's long-cherished wish. Now he could still stay there.
At first, he was worried that if, like the legend, there were only stones between the cherry blossom tree and the ground, he might have to dig out some stones to bury it. It was great that it was now ordinary soil.
Seeing Lu Tan's relieved expression, the miko girl tilted her head, wondering what the man was thinking.
"Thank you, I have already felt the grandeur of Shenyin."
Lu Tan thanked him and secretly determined the location of the hole to be dug at night. He apologized to the big tree in advance.
"?"
The miko lady doesn't quite understand.
Since Amber needed to prepare for the selection, Lu Tan naturally couldn't see her.
In the evening, after eating the dinner provided by the shrine, Lu Kan declined Natsu Dao's invitation to go to Wajima's Flower Street Goulan to listen to music, and stayed behind closed doors on the grounds that he needed to rest on a long journey.
In fact, he has already studied the route to Shenying.
Pretending to be taking a walk, Lu Kan left his residence, passed the torii corridor in the morning, and walked towards the sacred cherry tree.
There were no witches along the way. They seemed to be practicing in the shrine at this time and having evening classes. The road was so quiet that it seemed like a ghost.
Halfway through, Lu Tiao suddenly felt someone behind him.
When he looked back, he saw that a woman in white clothes was passing by the torii gate in the distance, but he couldn't see clearly.
"Is this place also haunted?"
Lu Tan muttered, turned around, and saw a woman wearing white clothes and scarlet hakama standing in front of him.
The woman's hair was dark black, her face was pale, her eyes were pale, and she had a quality that was not of this world.
Lu Tan only blinked his eyes, and the other party disappeared.
"Is this... the spirit of Shen Ying?"
He thought of the legend he heard during the day. This tree was the body of the first-generation officiating witch, and it also had spirituality. Maybe the soul of that witch was wandering around Wajima Taisha Shrine and became an earthbound spirit.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a childish voice sounded from behind Lu Tiao.
Lu Tan turned around and saw that it was the young girl.
She was wearing a small witch costume and looked like a little witch.
"Shh, I want to see Shen Ying."
Lu Jian made a gesture of silence.
"I want to go too, I want to go!"
the little girl shouted.
"That's okay."
Lu Tian thought for a while, and in order to avoid the other party's crying and attracting more witches, he could only agree.
Moreover, if she is caught, then she will say that she will take him to Shenying's place to play, and no one will blame the child.
Perfect.
After Lu Tan threw the pot to the little girl in advance without any guilt, he took her hand and came to the foot of the sacred cherry tree.
Finding the spot where he would set up during the day in advance, Lu Tiao quickly dug a small hole, and then took out the crimson crystal.
"What is this? Does it look good?"
The little girl wanted to reach out and touch her, but Lu Tiao didn't give her the chance.
He put the crystal into the pit and buried it with soil while explaining.
"This is a friend of mine who is also a miko. As long as her soul buries this thing under the sacred cherry tree after her death, she will never get lost and can always find her way home.
"
"The way home..."
The little girl didn't seem to understand, or she seemed to understand something.
At this moment, Lu Tan heard a crisp and sweet ringing sound.
