My daily life of cultivating immortals and removing spirits in Chiba

Chapter 312 Shrine Guide
"Yujun, who is this next to you? Your lover? Although she is very beautiful, she seems to be older than you!"

The shrine maiden named Ryui had actually heard of Asama Ha's reputation from her father's exchanges.

Although Asama Ha is a very powerful psychic, and even his grandfather speaks highly of him, he is still very young, only a high school student of about 16 years old.

And the female companion next to Asamaha clearly looks older!

Although she is indeed beautiful, she looks like she is in her twenties at least, right?
"Is this Asama-kun a junior?"

At this moment, when Shimizu Ryui looked at Asama Ha with her eyes, she instantly came to a conclusion in her heart.

As soon as Shimizu Ryui finished speaking, Ichinose Tori's expression became slightly embarrassed.

She is not older than Asamaha, but a full 11 years older.

"Liu Yi! Don't talk nonsense! Apologize!"

Perhaps sensing the sudden embarrassment in Ichinose Momori's expression, Shimizu Taishi also scolded him directly.

When she heard her father's scolding, Shimizu Ryui first stuck out her tongue at her father in a weird way, then looked directly at Ichinose Momori and apologized softly.

"Sister, I'm sorry."

However, Shimizu Daishi pays great attention to etiquette and respects his guests.

But his behavior, in a sense, had the opposite effect.

Although Shimizu Ryui thought she was older, Ichinose Momori was just a little embarrassed and walked over as if nothing happened.

And now, Shimizu Taishi asked his daughter to apologize. Doesn't this prove that she, Tori Ichinose, really cares about her age?
Looking at the girl in front of him who was apologizing to him, Tori Ichinose had a slightly forced smile on her face at this moment.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, this is indeed a fact, hehe... hehe..."

And Shimizu Ryui looked at Ichinose Momori's appearance at this moment, and couldn't help but said apologetically again.

"My father asked me to apologize. Sister, don't blame me..."

Shimizu Ryui obviously noticed the feeling in Ichinose Tori's heart at this moment, and said sarcastically.

At this moment, Asamaha looked at the appearance of Shimizu Ryui and Ichinose Tori, and couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart.

This miko named Ryui is indeed as her father said, with a carefree personality, even a little quirky.

Immediately, Asamaha also introduced Ichinose Tori to the two people in front of him.

"Well, my lover, Tori Ichinose."

After hearing Asamaha's words, Shimizu Taishi also nodded lightly towards Ichinose Momori and said hello.

Immediately, he continued to speak.

"You two, come in quickly. Keeping guests here all the time is not the way our shrine welcomes guests."

Asamaha nodded, and then pulled Ichinose Tori into the shrine.

Qingmizu Shrine is located on the mountainside. The entrance path alone is [-] meters away. The entire shrine has a large building area. .

It is completely different from the kind of shrine where you just visit a statue of a god and have only a few buildings.

When Shimizu Taishi led Asama Ha and Ichinose Tori into the shrine, he was also chatting with Asama Ha.

"...My father was invited to the headquarters of the Soul Society three weeks ago, so I am currently in charge of all matters. If Mr. Asama has any inconvenience or any objections, you can tell me directly."

"Of course, Mr. Asama, you can also tell Liu Yi that as people of the same age, compared to me, a boring middle-aged man, Liu Yi obviously has more things in common with you." Shimizu Dashi said with a smile.

Hearing Qingmizu Dashi's words, Asamaha also nodded.

Nobita Shimizu's father, Nobita Shimizu.

That is, the gray-haired old man Asamaha once saw. He is the current palace secretary of Qingshui Shrine and the real talker of Qingshui Shrine.

Although Shimizu Nobita did not clearly explain what Shimizu Nobita was going to do when he went to the Tongling Society, but judging from the time, it should be related to the spiritual weapons refined at the Tongling Society headquarters.

"Priest Qingmizu, we are just here to visit. I don't need to trouble you with any unnecessary matters." Asamaha also seemed very polite to Qingmizu's enthusiasm.

"Haha, this is not a trouble, let everyone..."

Hearing Asamaha's words, Shimizu Taishi also waved his hand, wanting to say something.

However, at this moment, Qingshui Liuyi's surprised and joyful voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

"Ah! This is an elixir! Father! Look what kind of elixir this is!"

Qingshui Liuyi had a look of curiosity and joy on her face at this moment. She quickly ran to her father and asked him quickly.

What Qingshui Dazhi originally wanted to say was interrupted by his daughter, and his whole face suddenly turned dark.

Although he had the intention to scold this daughter who was always being startled and making noises, he looked at the elf with a face of joy as if she was offering a treasure.

Although he meant to reprimand, the words turned into sighs when he reached his lips.

"Liu Yi! Don't be surprised when you have guests in the future. Also, when guests bring gifts, don't open them in front of them."

Qingshui Dazhi shook his head and warned him again.

"Yeah, I know! I was just curious, so I wanted to take a peek, but I didn't expect that there was a pill inside. Father, what kind of pill is this?"

Qingshui Liuyi now had a small white hand spread out, with a finger-sized light red elixir on it.

At this moment, looking at the elixir in his daughter's little hand, Qingshui Dazhi also had a strange look in his eyes.

He also didn't expect that the souvenir given by Asamaha when he came to visit seemed to be a pill?
This is a rare thing...

Even in ancient times, when alchemists still existed, this thing was extremely precious and it was difficult for ordinary psychics to obtain even one.

Qingshui Dazhi also picked up the elixir from his daughter's hand at this moment, looked at it in front of his eyes, and smelled it at the same time.

It contains a light medicinal fragrance and a breath of pure spiritual power.

It undoubtedly means that the thing in his hand is indeed a genuine elixir.

Although, he couldn't tell what kind of elixir it was.

"This is a small return pill. Its main function is to slightly improve one's spiritual power." Asamaha, who was on the side, also saw Shimizu's doubts, and then introduced it softly.

"Smallly improve your own spiritual power?" After hearing this sentence, Qingshui Dazhi was slightly surprised.

"Obviously it was just a visit, but Asama-kun actually brought such an expensive gift..." Shimizu Dashi looked at Asamaha and said slowly with a somewhat surprised expression.

In his opinion, this kind of elixir that can improve a small amount of spiritual power is not something he should not cherish.

But Asamaha actually gave it away as a casual gift for a visit.

Later, Qingshui Dazhi also put the elixir in his hand back into Qingshui Liuyi's hand, and then gave him serious instructions.

"Keep it for yourself! But you are not allowed to eat in advance without permission, remember?" "Remember, I am already 18 years old and not a child, so there is no need to remind me of everything. .”

Qingshui Liuyi nodded and curled her lips, obviously dissatisfied with her father's attitude of not trusting her at any time.

At this moment, Asama Yu also suddenly felt a slight pain in his palm.

Ichinose Tori seemed to be pinching his palm.

Although Ichinose Tori did not speak at this moment, her beautiful eyes instantly made Asamaha understand what Ichinose Tori wanted to say at this moment.

Nothing more than that.

"Didn't you say that thing is not precious at all? Why is it completely different from what you said!"

As the priest of such a large shrine and the future heir of the shrine, Shimizu's ambition is great.

They were all so surprised and attached great importance to this small pill.

The value of this elixir was obviously far beyond her expectations.

…………

Although Ichinose Tori blamed Asamaha for "wasting" in her heart, since the "elixir" has been given away, there is no way to get it back.

The most important thing now is to concentrate on sightseeing, so that the "ticket" can be as valuable as possible.

However, Tori Ichinose had never been to a major shrine with a long history like Kiyomizu Shrine.

The scenery inside the shrine is indeed extremely good.

The gravel paths, bamboo groves, lanterns, and various buildings and decorations give it the feeling of being hidden in an ancient courtyard in the mountains.

Ichinose Tori quickly entered the tourist state.

Asamaha said that during the tour, he was also very surprised.

Just now, he thought that the dozen or so people who came out to greet him were almost all the people in the shrine.

But in fact, it’s just a small group of people.

According to Shimizu Taishi, there are a total of more than [-] people in the Shimizu Shrine.

This still does not include the occurrence of sacrificial activities.

If Qingmizu Shrine holds ritual activities, it will also recruit many young people and students to work part-time here.

However, the reason why only a dozen people came out to greet Asamaha just now was not because Shimizu Taishi didn't value Asamaha.

Mainly, most of the other shrine staff are receiving other pilgrims who came to visit this shrine today.

Of course, these pilgrims know that they are either rich or noble just by looking at their clothes.

And most of these people will be accompanied by two or three bodyguards.

Obviously, although Qingmizu Shrine does not receive many tourists every day, it also does not have any operating industries.

But it is able to support so many people and maintain and repair such a large shrine.

Naturally, it is because these pilgrims are contributing and providing stable funds.

But even so, these pilgrims who provide funds to the shrine every year will have dedicated shrine personnel to guide and receive them when they visit the shrine.

However, unless something special happened, Shimizu Taishi, the priest of the shrine, would not personally receive the pilgrims.

Therefore, when Asamaha glanced at these pilgrims with bodyguards,

These pilgrims also cast their appraising eyes on Asama Ha.

Thinking about the origin of the young man, Priest Qingshui even came to receive him personally.

In the previous phone call, Asamaha explained that her background was to bring her lover to visit and visit the shrine.

Shimizu's ambition may be because he values ​​Asamaha's strength and identity, or he is grateful for the precious souvenir he gave him before.

At this moment, Shimizu Taishi also put down his identity as a priest, and took a rare role as a tour guide, taking Asama Haha and Ichinose Tori to visit the scenery of the shrine.

"...This is the hand water house. The clear water in the pool is the spiritual spring water specially taken every morning. Asama-kun and Miss Ichinose, if you want to wash your hands, you can simply wash them here."

The so-called hand water house is a small pavilion without a fence, with a water dish filled with clean water, and small wooden ladles placed in the water dish for fetching clean water.

Hearing this, Asamaha picked up the water ladle, scooped out the water, and washed his hands according to custom.

However, when the cool spring water passed over the back of his hand, the special feeling made Asama Yu's eyebrows twitch slightly.

"This spiritual spring water is indeed somewhat different..."

After simply washing his hands, Asamaha also spoke softly.

"Haha, Mr. Asama has also noticed that this spiritual spring water contains weak spiritual power. For ordinary people, if they drink and bathe in this water regularly, it can actually bring considerable benefits."

Shimizu Dazhi said with a chuckle.

"Indeed, it's ice cold but feels very comfortable. It's indeed a little different from ordinary water." Ichinose Tori also said at this moment.

"Haha, actually there is an open-air hot spring in the mountain behind the shrine. After you two have a meal and rest at the shrine, you can go to the hot spring to try it in the afternoon."

"Are there any hot springs?!" When Ichinose Tori heard these words, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

She had never expected that such a place would have such a thing as a hot spring.

As Momori Ichinose rarely participated in social activities, she naturally had never been to any hot springs.

However, Ichinose Momori still yearns for open-air hot springs, especially hot springs in such mountain shrines.

With this service alone, Ichinose Tori felt that it was worth more than half of the ticket price.

"Yes! Sister Taori, soaking in hot springs more often can help improve your skin. My skin is so good because I often soak in the hot springs at the shrine. It's really comfortable."

Ryu Shimizu picked up the miko's sleeves and showed her small arms as delicate as milk to Ichinose Tori without any scruples.

Shimizu Ryui is indeed a carefree and familiar character. Although it was only the first time they met, she already called Ichinose Tori "Tori-sister" smoothly.

However, Qingshui Rui just pulled up her sleeves regardless of the presence of outsiders.

This made Shimizu Dazhi's mouth twitch slightly, just when he wanted to reprimand his daughter to pay attention to etiquette.

Suddenly, a member of the shrine quickly came to Shimizu Dashi and whispered a few words in his ear.

Immediately, Shimizu Dashi frowned slightly, and then he looked at Asamaha and said slightly apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Asama, something unexpected happened, so I'll excuse you for a while."
