Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 880: Purify the Heart (two in one, please subscribe!!!)

On the way back to Tokyo from Disneyland in Chiba, a Mercedes-Benz veered away from the traffic at a fork in the road and took a completely different direction from the planned route, taking Lu Mingfei and Eriki alone to the other side of the road. Completely opposite to the northern entrance of Meiji Jingu Shrine.

After putting down Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi, the driver bowed deeply and respectfully to them and left. I guess this was also Minamoto's arrangement.

Deliberately sending yourself and Eri to a place far away from everyone is probably a traditional wedding custom. During the wedding, the bride and groom are not allowed to meet their relatives and friends before dressing up, which means the moment they step into Meiji Shrine. Starting from now on, the wedding between myself and Eri Yi is considered to be the beginning in the real sense, right?

So what to do next? Do you want to take Eriyi with you all the way? Where to go?

No one expected a completely mysterious and unknown wedding, but when he discovered that he really knew nothing about the steps of the wedding, Lu Mingfei found that this experience was actually quite novel. People always have a fresh feeling about unknown things. This feeling is like myself and Eriki slowly exploring a real game that will determine their future lives. No matter what links are arranged next, experiencing such a day will definitely make them The two of them left an unforgettable impression on today and this wedding.

If he were not the patriarch of a mafia clan, Lu Mingfei felt that it would be quite humiliating for Yuan Zhisheng to go to the beach to sell sunscreen... He could definitely become a wedding planner. It is quite in line with the current young people's pursuit of trendiness and experience. Because of my uncle’s talent, no matter which wedding shop I go to apply for as a planner, I’m the chief!

"Why don't we go shopping first while there's no one around?" Lu Mingfei took Hui Liyi's hand and suggested.

"Okay." Huiliyi was quite happy. Whether it was a wedding or just shopping, as long as she was with Lu Mingfei, she was happy.

Lu Mingfei and Eriki visited Meiji Shrine once. Someone also got married at Meiji Shrine that day, but there were many people that day. Every shrine in Meiji Shrine was crowded with tourists.

But Eriyi still had a lot of fun that day. Lu Mingfei still remembers Eriyi's eyes when she saw the long wedding procession near the main hall. It was a look full of novelty, joy and longing. It’s not that she looks forward to the wedding itself, but that this girl will feel extremely magical about everything she has never been exposed to in this world. Maybe weddings are inherently romantic plots for girls. In short, the scene that day left a lasting impression on Eriki She was deeply impressed, and she kept asking Lu Mingfei for questioning afterwards.

"Sakura, is that marriage?"

"Sakura, why do people getting married wear black and white clothes and have someone holding an umbrella behind them?"

"Sakura, I saw a lot of people around them applauding them, and a lot of people taking pictures, so getting married is a big deal?"

"Sakura..."

There were so many questions that it was scary. When this girl paid attention to one thing, she was like the ultimate curious baby. Especially when she met Lu Mingfei, a person who was willing to respond to her about everything, she must get answers to all the questions in her heart. She was willing to give up, but even so, Lu Mingfei still answered every question patiently.

So for him, this is also an impressive memory, the wedding at Meiji Shrine... When he saw the look in Eri Yi's eyes that day, Lu Mingfei secretly made this decision in his heart. Later, every day Eri Yi Asking a question made Lu Mingfei's determination even stronger.

My elder brother-in-law is really a master at making dreams come true. It’s thanks to him that he saved him from Herzog’s hands regardless of his own safety, and it’s also thanks to him that he took charge of all this “on his own initiative”, otherwise he would have missed this opportunity in Japan. Some time ago, after returning to the academy, I wanted to come to Japan with Eriki again and hold a wedding at Meiji Shrine.

Moreover, it is not difficult for Lu Mingfei to get married at Meiji Jingu Shrine, as long as he spends money, but booking the entire Meiji Jingu Shrine is not something that can only be done with money... Please ask that rich woman Su Enxi , it might be possible for him to realize his dream, but then he would owe a huge favor.

And he asked a beautiful girl to help him organize the wedding between himself and another beautiful girl... I don’t say whether he looks like a scumbag, but it sounds like he is full of soft rice elements.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and smiled at Hui Liyi... This time, there is no need to envy others or be curious. This time we will experience it ourselves.

This is a wedding for the two of us.

At Meiji Shrine.

In the dream story, the whole world owes you a wedding.

Taking steps forward, Lu Mingfei and Eriyi walked forward and looked up. At the entrance of Meiji Shrine was a huge torii gate. The shrine was started in the fourth year of Taisho and completed in the ninth year of Taisho. Nearly a hundred years have passed, and due to the wind and frost of history and the lapse of time, no matter how well maintained, the red paint on the torii gate has peeled off, revealing the original color of the original wood, and some places have dried or revealed small cracks. , and this is still the situation after the Japanese government spends expensive funds to maintain and repair it every year.

The Torii of Meiji Shrine is one of the largest existing wooden Torii in Japan. According to rumors, the wood used for the two main pillars of the Torii is made from the trunk of a tree that has grown for more than a thousand years. The scene looks like It's really shocking.

In Japanese Shinto culture, a "shrine" is the place where the gods live, and the entire shrine area is also considered a sacred area, and the existence of the torii gate is the dividing line between the "human domain" and the "god domain", so Many Japanese people take off their hats and bow before entering the torii gate to show their piety and respect for the gods.

But Lu Mingfei and Eliyi didn't do that. They just put their hands against the huge torii pillars and felt the texture of the thousand-year-old giant tree... In fact, there was no texture at all. Even such behavior seemed a bit average, but Lu Ming Both Fei and Eri found it very interesting. Some silly things would be given special meaning if done with a specific person. Maybe this is what love looks like.

After passing through the torii, there is the shrine of Meiji Shrine. The so-called "sando" is a long road from the entrance torii to the main hall of the shrine. It is said that walking on such a road can cleanse the tired soul and enter the Meiji Shrine. Driving or cycling will no longer be allowed in the shrine, because stepping closer to the place where you worship the gods is also a symbol of piety. Lu Mingfei and Eriki took the North Sandal Road. Last time they entered from the South Sand Road and had not walked through the one they were walking on at this time. Every road in Meiji Jingu Shrine is very long. The road leading to the main shrine is about It takes thousands of steps to walk. When there are many tourists, if you wear hard-soled shoes, it may be a little bit of an ordeal for those who want to visit the main shrine.

However, such a journey is not a torment at all for mixed breeds like Lu Mingfei and Eryi. Compared with ordinary people, mixed breeds are physically monsters. Suppose mixed breeds go to participate in a marathon or Sports games are definitely a dimension reduction attack, so there is an unwritten rule in mixed-race society. Mixed-races are prohibited from participating in all large-scale physical competitions organized by human society, and Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi are even more monsters among monsters. If Regardless of the time cost, the two of them would not feel tired walking all the way from Tokyo to Kanagawa Prefecture.

The sunlight passes through the lush green shade, forming a light path-like trajectory. This is the Tyndall effect. On both sides of the shrine, giant trees tower into the sky and wild birds sing.

It’s hard to imagine that in a bustling city where every inch of land is precious, there is such a green space with such a beautiful ecological environment. Even if you always walk in the forest of Meiji Shrine, you can’t really feel its vastness. Lu Mingfei and Eri I have been to high places in Tokyo such as the Sky Tree, Tokyo Tower and Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Building. When you look down at Meiji Jingu from above Tokyo, you can feel its magnificence and beauty. It is a huge, lush dark green.

And these trees have not existed since ancient times. The history of this green forest is roughly the same as that of Meiji Shrine, which is less than a hundred years old.

Its significance to science is even more important than its religious symbol. When this area was still a wasteland, naturalists and landscape scientists made bold claims. They hoped that at the latest One hundred and fifty years later, this area has become a pure natural forest that can thrive without manual maintenance. In order to achieve this goal, science and technology experts have determined the types of trees planted, the order of planting, and the introduction of trees. The species were carefully planned, and the required trees were donated from all over Japan. A total of an exaggerated 100,000 trees were collected. The tree planting project alone took six years.

Today, the scientists' rhetoric has been completed, even more than fifty years ago. Now the forest of Meiji Shrine is completely in a state of rest and does not require any manual maintenance. Last year, a scientific team from the United States After inspecting this urban forest, they were surprised to find that there are more than 3,000 species living in this forest, ranging from ants and frogs to civet cats, eagles and reindeer, including many endangered species. Rare species, the various animals, plants and bacteria living here have formed a fairly complete food chain and ecological system.

"...So even the fallen leaves here don't need to be cleaned manually, they just need to be piled in the middle of the road. In the forest of Mingyinji Shrine, many tree species are evergreen all year round, so there are trees here every day There are many fallen leaves. On the one hand, the workload is too heavy, and on the other hand, scientists hope that the fallen leaves here can return to the forest and reincarnate naturally. "Stepping on the road paved with orange fallen leaves, Lu Mingfei said about Huiliyi's science popularization. Knowledge about this shrine.

The fallen leaves and dead wood that were trampled under their feet made a crunching sound, and a gray raccoon ran past the eyes of Lu Mingfei and Eli Yi.

"Sakura knows a lot!" Eriyi said with starry eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Mingfei scratched the back of his head and answered in a somewhat embarrassed manner, because Hui Liyi asked too many questions last time, thinking that he might come again in the future, so Lu Mingfei If I had not crammed up my knowledge about Meiji Shrine on the Internet, I would just be pretending to be a big-tailed wolf and learning and selling now.

But from this point of view, I really have foresight. Sure enough, opportunities are reserved for those who work hard and are prepared. Otherwise, how would I gain Eri's admiration now?

Sometimes when I'm single, I just think about it. Is it because I don't work hard enough? How come other people can talk about such a good-looking girlfriend, but you don't?

"There were too many people here last time, so you didn't notice Eriyi." Lu Mingfei spoke again, pointing to the wide road in front of him, "The shrine of Meiji Shrine is very wide, but most tourists only walk Both sides, you know why?”

"Because you have to walk on the crosswalk." Eriri replied seriously.

"..." Lu Mingfei was choked up. This guy Eli Yi has a bit of humor in him.

"Because in the Shinto culture, the shrine's approach is not only a path for people to worship. When the gods come to the shrine, they will also take this path." Lu Mingfei gave an explanation, "So in order to discord with the gods Fighting for the road, usually the worshipers will give up the road in the middle. "

"Do gods only walk in the middle? They are so overbearing." Eryi may have been infected with Lu Mingfei for a long time, and she actually learned to make small complaints.

"Uh...it doesn't mean that gods only go from the middle, because humans must give way to gods?" Lu Mingfei said by analogy, "Just like when we came here before, all the cars on the road were owned by the Sheqiba family. The car gave way, probably out of respect, but Eriyi, you don’t have to.”

"Why?" Eriki asked curiously.

"Because when encountering Eriyi, it should be the gods who make way." Lu Mingfei said proudly.

In human society, Eri is a mafia princess, and on a religious level, Eri is the Tsukuyomi of the Snake Qihachi family, the "descendant of the gods" of the Eight Sutras. How can any god be so proud? Let the three great gods make way for him?

Near the center of the shrine, a kind of coarse sand appeared on the shrine. It is called "Jade Gravel". There were too many people last time and I didn't notice it. This kind of sand is soft and makes wind blows when you step on it. The rustling sound like leaves is said to have a calming effect.

"A lot of wine." Eriyi pointed to the racks with rows of large wine bottles on the roadside, "I saw it last time."

"This kind of thing is called a 'dedication wine bottle'. It was built so that the gods who live in this shrine can taste wine from all over the world. All the wines that can be named in Japan will be collected here." Lu Mingfei pointed out Pointing to the wine rack on one side, he pointed to the other side, "The other side is Western wine, because Emperor Meiji liked foreign wine very much. During his reign, he promoted an idea of ​​'harmonious souls and foreign talents'. It’s about letting Chinese people learn to accept Western culture well.”
