Gui Julan raised her head and thought, but she didn't answer the question of the goddess of the lake. She had an intuition that if she answered, she would feel that she would be cheated.

It is no longer the Age of Gods. There will be no gods descending from the human world. Even if there are, they must use a carrier. Since the witch is used as a support, the gods cannot descend without a human body.

If the gods can casually descend to the earth and announce the oracle to everyone, then what do these vast clergy have to eat.

"ceremony."

Ghost Julan looked at Yu Zeguang and directly told the truth, the witch shrugged indifferently.

It doesn't matter, even if you know it's a ritual, what's the use of it? Back then, he was stuck in the ritual of Tiantian's life, unless you have a way to unravel the ritual.Just like everyone knows Einstein's theory of relativity, but can you go back to the past according to this theory of relativity?Can't.

It is because Tiantian girl ordered that unscrupulous goddess, so he was reduced to the tragic fate of being a witch, a majestic man.

Chapter 32

Gui Julan remained silent, and didn't say a word when facing the goddess' question. Her intuition told her that she would be fooled. She ignored the goddess and turned to look at the witch Yu Zeguang in front of her.

"It doesn't make any sense for you to do this. You think I only have this weapon."

Gui Julan pulled out a knife from her body, but she didn't expect that the person who forced her to use this knife would be Yu Zeguang. Although it was such a ridiculous way, it made her qualified to use this knife.

She is the battle priestess of Ise Shrine, compared to Shiro who is proficient in various allusions and theories of Shinto, Nadeko who is good at sealing and purifying, Saigu who communicates with gods and guides divine power, or the little girl who can see the future Your Highness, her ability is only for fighting.

"Hey, hey, you are cheating, you are cheating, I have set aside the ceremony, don't ignore it, okay?"

Yu Zeguang looked at Guijulan with some embarrassment, you don't undo your ritual head-on, but you don't know where to draw a knife, and you still want to fight me head-on?

"Rituals are what you are good at, especially this kind of Shinto ceremony. Whether it is a golden sword or a silver sword, it corresponds to your gold and silver fan. No matter which one I want, then the river god will give me the samurai sword When the time comes, it means I lost, my original katana did not fall into the river at all, so if I answer according to the script of the river god, this is an unsolvable problem, because I can only choose one of them, but no matter what I think I will lose..."

Gui Julan shook his head and looked at Yu Zeguang who was so anxious that he wanted to cry, and couldn't help but said amusedly.

Ceremony is a very common thing, such as incense ceremony and flag raising ceremony, and the rituals in Shinto often have powerful and incredible power.

China's Taishan Fengchan and Japan's Tianxiabuwu are both rituals used to govern politics. Sacrificial ceremonies such as praying for the country's prosperity and people's safety are even more unpredictable. The legendary Onmyoji Abe Seimei's family has been Taishan Mansion for generations. Junji even has the power to bring people back from the dead.

The magic of Shinto and Yin-Yang Dao can actually be regarded as a ritual, and the ceremony can also be regarded as a mantra. Shinto rituals are performed with the power of gods. They are very powerful, incredible, and most importantly, unreasonable.

That's right, it is unreasonable, and this unreasonable attribute even forms a rule.To give a simple example, for example, Amaterasu Omikami was attracted by the Kagura of Tiantian Nvming and walked out of Tianyando. Since then, the dance ceremony of Kagura has been regarded as something that can make the gods happy, so the sacrifices and prayers in the shrine Almost indispensable.

"It's not unsolvable, you can think about it!"

Yu Zeguang's current appearance was more summoned than Gui Julan's, and the goddess was still left there waiting for Gui Julan's reply.

Unlike the vivid "goddess" that Yu Zeguang once saw at Yuefeng Shrine, this "goddess" who appeared in the lake seemed much duller, and could only speak in a fixed pattern, and her appearance was obscured by the fog. Only a vague figure can be seen in the shroud.

"I'm sorry, Guangji, I can't think of it, and I don't want to. Although this is a ritual you worked so hard to set up, you are too naive. This kind of ritual that requires a lot of energy but has no lethality is useless. , because I don't intend to follow the rules, I choose to turn the chessboard."

Gui Julan slashed towards the lake with a knife, but with just one knife, a wind blew up the originally cloud-shrouded lake, the clouds were blown away, and the goddess who should have been on the lake also disappeared.

The ritual was thus broken.

The samurai sword is still in her hand. At this time, she already has two samurai swords in her hand. The samurai sword that disappeared just now is not an illusion, nor is it real.

The samurai sword is in her hands, and it is not in her hands. As long as she continues to follow the script of the river god of "Golden Axe and Silver Axe", then the samurai sword will naturally fall into the lake, but since she denies it, then That is fake.

Yu Zeguang smiled wryly, the ceremony she had carefully prepared was unraveled by her in such a simple and rude way.

It's like two people playing chess. One of them has set up a perfect chess game for the opponent to break, but the opponent has no way to break it. At this critical moment, in order not to lose, he simply overturned the chessboard. The person who set up the chess game was beaten with his fist.

Since you can't beat you on the chessboard, then you can beat you with your fists under the chessboard. To be honest, this way of winning is not elegant, but it is quite effective.

"Guangji, let me make a suggestion to you. Your Shinto talent is very strong. His Majesty the Sai Palace once said that you were born to be a witch. How you want to use your talent is up to you, but the Palace and We all want you to become the strongest miko."

Gui Julan paused for a moment, seeing Yu Zeguang with a wry smile and said, "This is not practice, don't use such flashy means, even if you don't like fighting and love peace, you must first have the strength to ensure that you love peace. Otherwise, the person being bullied today will always be you."

With a flash of sword light, Gui Julan's body was like a ghost, and people couldn't catch it at all, and his own eyes couldn't see the opponent's movements at all. The gold and silver fan in his hand blocked his left shoulder with light, and then he felt a burst of Juli, her hands were numb from the shock, she took several steps back before seeing Gui Julan's katana making intimate contact with her folding fan.

"The body's reaction is very good. Even if the eyes can't see it, the body can still detect it and subconsciously defend, but just defense is not enough. You have to use your body's intuition to fight back, and even attack me actively. In addition, you Your strength is too weak, it really is because you skipped too much class and didn’t practice swinging the knife enough.”

Gui Julan looked at Yu Zeguang's hand that was holding down his numb hand and commented.The eyes can't see, the body can't react at all logically, but Yu Zeguang's body has reacted, it doesn't seem like the body has instinctively remembered how to defend and counterattack because of long-term practice, it can only be classified as one a special talent.

Practice is still not enough, the practice of swordsmanship is not a day's work, you have to accumulate enough experience and strength by swinging the knife countless times over time, even if it is the same as painting, there are masters who keep drawing eggs, keep drawing, simple movements, the same Painting, and finally hone the unparalleled basic skills.

Gui Julan didn't want to teach him any special kendo skills, or any unique moves, which is unrealistic. The use of any skills and moves is based on the accumulated basic skills practice, without exception.

My strength is weak, obviously your strength is greater.Yu Zeguang smiled wryly, he was a boy, and he was ridiculed by girls in terms of strength.

"Okay, today's kendo practice is over, you go back and think about it, don't repel it anymore, having power and using it reasonably is not a bad thing."

Gui Julan said admonishment, turned around and left.Guangji's swordsmanship talent is actually not bad, but he is rejected from the bottom of his heart, which is why he hasn't made much progress yet, and he still needs to think clearly about this kind of problem.

"Hey, don't go yet, that, that, I want to ask you, you promise me, we two are friends."

Yu Zeguang looked at Gui Julan's figure who was about to go away and called her, but she hadn't asked what she really wanted to ask about the victory or defeat.

"I didn't agree, I just said I would consider it."

Gui Julan shook her head and turned to leave, she wanted to laugh but held back, she had already heard Yu Zeguang's annoyed voice, is it such an unhappy thing not to be her friend?

But Xiaoguang, I can't promise you, because we were friends long ago, not today!

Chapter 34 The Opening Ceremony

There were few stars in the night, and the bright moonlight fell on the ground. Walking in the deserted forest road, Yu Zeguang felt a little nervous. Unlike himself before, now he could vaguely feel the breath of divine power.

"Is God Fengshou going to wake up tonight?"

He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and muttered, although the gods of Ise Shrine are enshrined here, it doesn't mean they live here, even if there are, they are just avatars, and now should be the day when Fengshou Dashen wakes up every year. The day is an absolute secret to outsiders, and only the priestesses directly under Fengshou can perceive it.

The gold and silver fan in his hand glowed faintly, and even began to vibrate subconsciously in his hand, Yu Zeguang put the gold and silver fan into his sleeve, and said softly, "Don't make trouble, be quiet, I know you are not reconciled. "

The gold and silver fan screamed, as the artifact of Tiantian's female life, it represented the face of Tiantian's female life, and now it was suppressed when Feng Shou was completely awake, which really made the artifact unwilling.

Yu Zeguang comforted his artifact, so what if he was unwilling, he was just the maiden of Tiantian Numing, not the lord of Tiantian Numing, and the artifact in his hand was just a clone of the artifact of Tiantian Numing.

"Let's go, maybe we can see Lord Tianshen tonight."

Yu Zeguang smiled and shook his head to shake out the wild thoughts in his mind, even if Tiantian Numing and Fengshou Dashen wanted to compete for jealousy, he and Lengquanyuan Fuzi were also friends.

"Guangji, can you take me with you?"

"Your Highness, why are you..."

A little girl's voice came from behind, Yu Zeguang turned his head to look at the little girl in kimono and was startled, it could be her.

The little girl is not very old, about 8 to 9 years old. Because of her immature appearance, she looks smaller than her actual age. Her well-dressed appearance is like a delicate Japanese doll in a shop window. .

The little girl smiled at Yu Zeguang and even showed her white teeth and said, "Take me away, it's not easy to get rid of those guys, I'm going to see Lord Tenjin, and Lord Tenjin will wake up in half an hour of."

"Those guys...Your Highness, don't you want to get rid of all your bodyguards? It won't work, it's too dangerous."

Yu Zeguang reacted, looking at the little girl smiling at him, he was very helpless, this is really messed up.

Your Highness, Lord Wakamiya, is what the priests and maidens of the entire Ise Shrine call her, even Yu Zeguang and Lengquanyuan Nadeko are no exception, and Guijulan even became her bodyguard for a time .

To be honest, the status of the little witch in front of me is quite high, but I can’t say how high it is. Briefly speaking about the status of the maidens of Ise Shrine, the one at the top of the pyramid is of course Zhaigu, followed by Onijulan and Lengquanyuanfu. After that, it will be Bai and Yu Zeguang.

This is the ranking on the Miko list of Ise Shrine, and the ranking of this little highness is not found in the list of Ise Shrine.

However, there is still one thing that can be explained, that is, the bodyguards of His Royal Highness are twice as many as that of the Zhai Palace, and there are also onmyojis and people from the National Security Council mixed in. You must know that even the guards in the Zhai Palace on weekdays are only ordinary guards. This is because Zhai Gong has the status of the royal family, so this kind of attention let him know that the little girl has a high status.

"The door of the temple will be opened tonight, and I will wake up in a while. Don't you want to see Lord Tianshen?"

The little girl smiled, took Yu Zeguang's hand and walked forward.

"Wait, don't pull me, I know how to go!"

After Yu Zeguang panicked, he immediately followed Ruodian's steps. It was embarrassing to be led away by a little girl, so he could only walk in front.

……

The "Opening Ceremony" is an important Shinto ceremony held in the outer palace. It is held in July every year. The reason why Nadeko of Lengquanyuan said that the time is uncertain is because it is determined according to the perception of the witch, and it is occasionally advanced or delayed. A month is normal, as long as it is held on a full moon night.

The cold wind blew over, Yu Zeguang held his breath and looked at the ceremony team in front, the quiet footsteps gave people a sacred feeling.

Two elderly priestesses walked in front in plain kimonos. The priestesses only wore white clothes without scarlet hakamas. The white priestess uniforms had only one stripe of red, and they followed behind with beautiful Kagura bells in their hands.

People who don't know, many of these witches don't know Yu Zeguang.

Although I have been in Ise Jingu for more than half a year, I dare not leave Ise at all because of the trace of Naraku on my arm, so many people in the subordinate shrine don't know much about it.

Fengshou Daishen is the main god of worship in the outer palace, and the inner palace of Amaterasu Omishen is collectively called the main palace. The practice of sacrifice is usually to sacrifice to the outer palace one day in advance, and the content of Ise Shinto focuses on improving the outer palace Fengshou Daishen. status.

Of course, this is also related to a dream. According to legend, during the period of Emperor Yuraku, he had a dream in which he dreamed of his ancestor Amaterasu Omikami.

Amaterasu said in a dream, I am very lonely in the shrine, you go and take the Tamba country Fengshou to have a meal with me.

After waking up from the dream, Emperor Yuryu didn't think it was just a dream, it was an oracle, so he ordered the construction of a splendid palace, and ushered in Toyosu and Amaterasu to live together.

Fengshou's official job is to have meals with Amaterasu Omisami every day.

This sacrifice is unique to the Outer Palace, and it is called the Ribie Day and Night Great Imperial Food Festival.

You must know that Fengshou Dashen, before being ushered into the shrine, was just a helpless fairy who fell into the world of Danba, and she still couldn't return to the sky. In Ise Shinto, he became a deity as noble as Amaterasu Omikami.

There is Jiqing, no matter how you look at it, there is Jiqing of one kind or another.

Of course, the gods and gods did not gossip in advance. According to modern historical research, Amaterasu Omikami is actually the main god of the Ise area. Later, when the Yamato regime conquered and came to Ise, the main god chose a decent request to enjoy the Amaterasu Omikami. The same sacrifice is like asking the grandson of the great country to build a luxurious palace for him after he gave up Fengweiyuan China in the world.

The people of the Duhui family in the outer palace are the descendants of Fengshou Dashen. The Duhui family is a wealthy family who used to worship Fengshou Dashen. Therefore, Ise Shinto was created to enhance the status of Fengshou Dashen. It mainly demonstrates the status and importance of Fengshou Dashen. .

No matter what, Yu Zeguang would not think that Fengshou is more important than Tiantian girl.

If he is a Shinto theorist like Bai, then he will create a Yuze Shinto to demonstrate how high the status of Tiantian Numing is.

Unknowingly, Yu Zeguang also felt that his thinking, under the cultivation of Jingu, gradually became a qualified believer.

As for whether people believe in the created Shinto, it doesn't matter, anyway, I just believe in it myself.

When I say she is tall, she is tall.

Yu Zeguang thought so, the cold wind is blowing, it is really a good weather.

Chapter 34 The Opening Ceremony

The maidens walked in the front, a palanquin was carried by warriors, and warriors followed behind with bows and arrows on their backs, holding white flags with pine trees, looking like warriors in the Heian period.

The scene was quiet, despite the whistling wind around, and thunder and lightning in the sky at the same time, no one spoke, walking quietly, one left and one right slowly, it didn't look funny, but had a sense of majesty.

Although he knew that the so-called samurai did not know where they were found, they were not real samurai, but when they gathered together and entered the whole ceremony, there was a sense of majesty. Just looking at the number in the Warring States Period It is also enough to fight a small joint battle.

"Although the shrine claims to the outside world that the gods of Ise live in the shrine of Ise, and many other gods such as Amaterasu live here, in fact, those who stay in the shrine are guarded by the gods, but this time they wake up It is the main worship god of the other palace Taga Palace, Fengshou great god Ara Yuhun."

Looking at the entire ceremony team, His Royal Highness said, "Human souls are divided into harmony souls, wild souls, lucky souls, and strange souls. The same is true for the gods, but the manifestations of the gods are only the two souls of the wild and the wild, with a peaceful temperament. and souls, and desolate souls that can bring disaster to people."

"In a simple understanding, they are angels and demons. The wild soul is the more lively spirit of the gods, so people are more confused about him. The liveliness of the gods represents the disaster in the world, so the wild souls are often regarded as different. After sacrificing the main body of Amaterasu Omisho, you must not forget to sacrifice its desolate soul, and the same is true for Fengshou Osama."

"In a place where energy gathers like Ise, even a mild-tempered goddess, her wild soul has accumulated incredible energy. Therefore, the opening ceremony is mainly to comfort the god of abundance."

His Highness looked at the mighty team and explained, Yu Zeguang nodded, in fact, he didn't understand why the desolate soul was listed as a separate sacrifice, and now he probably understands after hearing her words.

The wrestlers carried the sedan chairs to a small shrine, and the priests all dressed in official costumes gathered around a bonfire in the middle, beating a large and a small piece of bamboo, the drums sounded, and the sedan chairs stopped at the door.

Dressed in plain white, Nadeko Reisenin stepped out of the sedan chair, holding a key in her hand.

A man in red official uniform took up position among the priests, and nodded with Nadeko of Lengquanyuan.

"The one over there with sister Nadeko is the current head of the Du family. They have been priests in the outer palace for generations. Ise Shinto was proposed by their family. In charge, like the previous two generations of Jingu Omiya, the Yingshi family was in charge, but they are the absolute authority on the issue of sacrificial offerings, and even the palace servants can't intervene in many issues."

His Highness introduced the person opposite, but Yu Zeguang's mind was completely out of here, and he didn't have the heart to listen to her at all.

"Son, welcome home!"

Someone is calling him, welcoming him, he seems to feel the breath of the whole Ise, trees, flowers and plants, all birds and animals are expressing their welcome to him.

The consciousness is a little fuzzy, and I really want to integrate my will into this land.

Suddenly a thunderbolt fell from the sky, struck the bonfire on the ground, and sparks flew everywhere. The priests were frightened by the splashed sparks, but the head of the Duhui family and Nadeko of Lengquanyuan did not move at all, letting the flames fall on their clothes , not even to slap.

The flames did not harm people. Yu Zeguang looked at the burning bonfire, only feeling a burst of warmth, and slowly walked towards the bonfire.

Someone is welcoming his arrival, and the whole land of Ise is also welcoming his arrival, just like a mother welcomes the return of her own child.

"Here you come, Xiaoguang."

Lengquanyuan Nadeko looked at Yu Zeguang and smiled at him, but Yu Zeguang didn't pay attention to her. He looked at the other side of the bonfire, and a person who was shining like him was standing there. across.
