"Children don't need to be cowardly, just do it!"

Ying Siguang is speechless, so there can't be a safer way, don't want to burn everything at every turn!

I'm still so young, I'm only 15 this year, I don't even have a girlfriend, I don't want to die young so soon!

Chapter 60

Holding a bouquet of freshly cut plum blossoms on a tray, he dedicated it to Kitano Tenjin.

Wearing a maiden costume in white and Zhuru, which is provided by Kitano Tenmangu, it fits well, and walking under the plum tree becomes a beautiful scenery.

Things went so smoothly that it was unbelievable. After saying that he was Takashiko from Ise Shrine, Toyuki Yoshida, who originally wanted to persuade the other party to work hard, was a little surprised.

Ying Siguang himself has a high-level priesthood. Although it is not a high-level priesthood in the Shinto world, it is a level line.

Unless you pass a very strict exam, you can only get it after graduating from Ise’s Kogakukan and Tokyo’s National Gakuin University. If you pass the priesthood training class, it is impossible to get the full-level priesthood so quickly, especially for such a young person, high school The age at which he was born actually got a full-rank priesthood. Either he was born in a family or he was particularly outstanding, and he was valued by the Ise Jingu Shrine. Either way was not the reason for his refusal.

Yoshida Toyuki took the plum blossoms that Takashiko handed over, respectfully placed them in front of the god, and the two looked at each other.

Knowing that this matter is successful, if the gods cannot be summoned, then take the initiative to summon the gods, then in Kitano Tenmangu, which god is closer than Kitano Tenjin.

That's right, Toyuki Yoshida's idea was to summon Michizane Sugawara, the biggest boss of Tenmangu, Kitano Tenjin.

Although the portrait of Kitano Tenjin in the shrine is either dressed as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, or looks like a scholar and official, but don't forget that before Sugawara Michizane was widely worshiped as the god of learning, this is a person who declared that he would destroy Japan. Stop the terrible demon king who brings disaster.

Therefore, this god cannot be underestimated.

The plum blossoms offered by Toyuki Yoshida exude a faint brilliance, which is invisible to ordinary people, and it represents the acceptance of the offered plum blossoms by the gods.

The offering of plum blossoms to the gods is officially over, but it doesn't mean that the priests of Tenmangong can relax. No matter what Sugawara Michizane was before, his current identity is always a god of learning.

Since it is the shrine of the god of learning, the activities held are naturally elegant but not vulgar. Whether it is a crossword puzzle activity or a joint song meeting, every move seems to have returned to the Edo period.

It was in the Edo period that Sugawara Michizane truly fulfilled the title of the god of learning, and was revered as a god of learning.

Three or four geisha wearing white foundation and gorgeous kimono walked into the room, which was the highlight of Tenmangu's "Plum Festival".

The tea party officially started. Takashimitsu was kneeling on the tatami in a kimono, holding a teacup in his hand. Yoshida Toyuki also changed his priestly attire and wore a black kimono, as if the portraits appeared after the Meiji Restoration. Aristocratic image.

According to legend, the Youyin tea room created by the tea saint Qian Lixiu is only one and three-quarters of a tatami mat in size. It is the master of the tea ceremony tea room, and there is no smaller one.

The tea room of Tenman Palace is completely opposite to that of Sen Rikyu. If Sen Rikyu thinks that the tea ceremony is a kind of practice, any unnecessary existence should not be left in the tea room, which makes the tea room smaller and smaller. There is no way to carry out recreational activities, but it is in line with the spirit of the tea ceremony.

However, compared to Sen Rikyu's tea room, the tea room of Tenman Palace is a bit too big, at least the size of six and a half tatami mats.

The geishas knelt in the middle, and the attendees sat around respectfully.I started to debug the tea. I used Japanese matcha, also known as green tea powder, which is made by grinding the tea tip of new tea. You only need to soak it in hot water to get a bowl of fresh tea full of fragrance.

The tea ceremony is not complicated. Making tea with matcha is as simple as making instant noodles. Although it may be rude to say this to the tea ceremony that Japan is proud of, it has to be said that this civilian tea ceremony is so close to ordinary people. .

The geisha adjusted the tea with peace of mind, and all the participants around them straightened their bodies, maintaining their appearance and not letting themselves have any disrespect.

Takashiko has experienced this kind of experience before. There is a Zhihui hall in Ise Jingu Shrine. Every year after the Kagura performance of the Kagami Festival, the priests of the temple and the shrine will go to the Zhihui hall for dinner. Everyone is like Sitting upright like this, according to a certain theory, the gods will also meet with mortals in the Zhihui Hall.

Share meals.

The skillful and elegant tea making movements of geisha look pleasing to the eye, revealing a kind of beauty.

There are two Chinese characters "Meici" written on the vertical scroll hanging on the tea room, which is the theme of the tea room. The exquisite tea sets and layout, and the elegant tea making movements of the geisha give people a strong visual impact.

This is not inferior to the Kagura dance performed by Ise Shrine in the Kagami Festival, which has been sublimated to art.Taking the tea bowl handed over by the geisha, Hikaru Takashi nodded subconsciously, feeling the deep warmth brought by the hot tea in the cold winter.

It's been so cold this winter, it's really nice to have someone hand you a bowl of hot tea.

He couldn't help substituting himself into the kappa who was fed by him in the past. He finally understood that the kind of insignificant thing he did would move the kappa so much.

Takashiko drank it in one gulp, his face was ruddy, and he looked at the geisha who handed over the tea bowl with a pleasant smile. I couldn't help being shocked when I saw it.

"My stage name is Chu, and I'm currently living in Kyoto..."

The geisha said with a blushing heartbeat, and as soon as she finished speaking, she covered her face with a folding fan and walked away gracefully, and her gesture of leaving the seat was also full of beauty.

The beauty of this kind of etiquette is not as good as that of Nadeko of Reisenin, who is the representative of the nobles of the Jingu. This is probably the Yamato Nadeko that Sai Palace is pursuing.

Takashiko looked at the handkerchief forced by the geisha in his arms, and looked at Toyuki Yoshida beside him for no reason, a little dazed, and suddenly said these things to himself, what special significance did they have.

Yoshida Toyuki looked at the young geisha who was like a deer bumping around, and said as someone who had been there, "If you lose the handkerchief, it means that the geisha has taken a fancy to you. If I guess right, she has the handkerchief." Address, you can spend the spring evening with her."

Ying Siguang almost spit out the tea in his mouth, it was such a meaning, some explanations but there was no way to explain it.

Say I'm a man?

This is impossible, once his identity is exposed, Zhai Gong will ask God Amaterasu to directly marry him.

Said he was a woman.

I want to cry, why should I admit that I am a woman as a dignified man.

Ying Siguang was speechless. The profession of geisha is actually quite closed and pure. They are a group of people who retain a strong cultural tradition. In order to ensure the purity of their profession, they are not allowed to have sex with men casually during their careers. They all live in group sex. Under the supervision of an elderly geisha.

Although the geisha had this name, they were much cleaner and purer than those youthful female idols on TV, but the price they had to pay was that pure feelings between same-sex people seemed to be quite popular in this circle.

In other words, the geisha regarded Eagle Siguang as a girl and wanted to seduce him.

This is really speechless?

By the way, Uncle Yoshida Toyuki, what the hell are you looking like watching a good show and expecting me to go.

I will be disappointed, if I really go, the geisha will be disappointed, because I am a boy.

Chapter 61

Those who participated in the tea party left one after another, including Takashimitsu and Yoshida Toyuki, and the geisha will soon entertain the second wave of guests.

The tea party is a major event of the Tenman Palace. Even though it was a repeat of the previous tea event, the geisha did not feel sloppy at all. On the contrary, they treated every guest as if they were receiving them for the first time.

It takes a lot of thought to hold a tea party. The vertical scrolls in the tea room also have flower arrangements representing the seasons, exquisite tea sets, and every detail is thoughtful.

After leaving the tea room and coming to the courtyard, it is as if you have come to a new world, which is completely different from the previous tea room.

The plum blossoms are blooming, giving off a faint fragrance, and the plum blossoms are blooming, quietly blooming this winter, showing strong vitality.

The courtyard is full of indifference and tranquility. Plum blossom is the first of the top ten famous flowers in China. It is not only one of the four gentlemen, but also the three friends of Suihan.

Ying Siguang stretched out his hand to touch the blooming plum blossoms in the courtyard. The rain on it had not yet dried up, and the rain had wetted his hand, so he stretched out his hand back in surprise.

At the moment of touching, I can feel the exuberant vitality of the plum tree, the strong beating, like the human heart, full of the charm of life.

Plum blossom is a plant that blooms in winter. Its flower language is strong and elegant. It is a heart that never gives up when it is difficult and despondent. A heart of worldly elegance.

Plum blossoms are hermits and people of high integrity. Even the emperor Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty has his famous lines about plum blossoms.

It's not pretty for the spring, just report the spring. When the mountains were full of flowers, she laughed in the bushes.

Ying Siguang looked at the plum blossoms on the branch, and his heart moved. In his eyes, each plum blossom was such a clear and strong image, and each plum blossom had a pure, noble and sacred character and traits. Into the blossoming plum blossoms.

He closed his eyes, the flowers are elegant and strong, the flowers are sacred and looking forward to the coming of spring, everything is integrated into this small courtyard.

Not to see with the eyes, but to feel with the heart.

To see what the naked eye cannot see, to hear what the ear cannot hear, is to feel with the heart.

The plum blossoms are in full bloom, desperately blooming, not for anything else, just blooming so purely, blooming their own beauty in this winter.

It is obviously the same as what the naked eye sees, why I feel something different, this was previously ignored.

If this tea party is dedicated to the gods, then Sugawara Michizane must also drink with everyone in the crowd, then the theme of this tea party is "Mei Ci", which should also be designated by Sugawara Michizane.

"Mei Ci" is the farewell of plum blossoms and the arrival of spring.Mingming God likes plum blossoms so much, why does he look forward to plum blossoms leaving.

Recalling Sugawara Michizane's deeds, Takashimitsu finally figured out why there was such a big sense of disobedience.

The world pays attention to Sugawara Michizane's identity as the god of learning. They know that he is a public official scholar, and they also know that he was a famous big devil in the past.

However, everyone seems to have forgotten that before Sugawara Michizane became a god and became a demon king, he was just a person. He was adopted by Sugawara's family since he was born. He was a child prodigy when he was young. Dedicated to learning, he is a public official scholar who is not good at political struggle.

Under the political struggle between Sugawara Michizane and Fujiwara Tokihei, its failure seemed inevitable, and in the end the emperor listened to the slander and demoted him.

With grievances in my heart, there is no resentment or dissatisfaction, and some just put my infinite emotions in my heart on the plum blossoms, looking forward to the arrival of my spring, my grievances, and my return to Heianjing.

It's a pity that Sugawara Michizane's long-awaited "Mei Ci" and the long-awaited spring never came, and eventually turned into a demon king and became the current Kitano Tenjin.

Ying Siguang walked in the courtyard outside the tea room, he could feel the will of the flowers in the courtyard, the plum blossoms were purely blooming, waiting and looking forward to.

It is so touching to completely let go of one's body and mind to experience this state of mind. It is precisely because of such a pure bloom that such waiting is more meaningful.

"This is Zen. The Minister of the Taizheng showed it to the participants. It probably wants to explain that when he is down and down, he is not a bereaved dog, but a hopeful ancient sage and minister."

As soon as Yoshida finished his jargon, the Zen feeling that Takashimitsu felt disappeared in an instant.

He looked at Toyuki Yoshida in amazement. The feeling of being one with the surrounding environment just now completely disappeared. He could even feel Sugawara Michizane’s state of mind when he was exiled before, but now it’s gone. Angry shortness of breath.

"Yuan Henryzhen, plum blossoms have four virtues. When they are born, they are Yuan, they bloom like prosperity, they bear children for profit, and when they mature, they become Zhen. Minister of the Taizheng, you want to say that your life is complete."

Yoshida Toyuki just finished speaking with a smile, the original angry breath disappeared suddenly, but some kind of cheerful breath.

Minister of the Taizheng, who is this referring to!

If Takashiko remembers correctly, the Minister of the Taizheng is the highest-ranking official under the Japanese legal system, and the highest can be the official.

As for the so-called Guan Bai Regent and General Zheng Yi, they are foreign officials who are not included in the official list and are temporarily established.

The reason why it became nameless in the later period is that the Fujiwara family has long occupied the power of the court through the temporary pass.

Wait a minute, isn't Sugawara Michizane posthumously named the first minister of the Taizheng after his death?

Takashiko reacted, and happened to see a young man in a black kimono, whose name seemed to be Kitagawa Hisahiko, the priest of Tenmangu who accompanied Yoshida Tokyo before.

Rubbing his eyes with his hands, he clearly saw that it was not Kitagawa Hisahiko, a faint radiance enveloped his whole body, and a handsome middle-aged man was standing there wearing a Heian period official costume.

The god of learning, Sugawara Michizane, has come to the world, because he has seen the life of a maiden possessed by a human witch, so he can directly see that this person is Sugawara Michizane.

If the east wind blows, make sure that the fragrance of the garden comes by the wind.

Even if my plum blossoms lose their owner, don’t forget the spring day.

Yoshida Toukyu chanted Sugawara Michizane's old waka, and picked off a plum blossom, which was full of endless freehand and romantic.

Takashiko felt it, it was the same as Sugawara Michizane's thing in the garden, it was also Zen, belonging to Yoshida Toyuki's Zen.

Takashiko casually held a plum blossom in his hand, exactly the same as Yoshida Toyuki's movements, with the same elegance and freehand style, without any affectation.

This is Sugawara Michizane's Zen, although it is not his, but it is so complementary.

"The water is boiling, hurry up and drink tea in the tea house."

Sugawara Michizane said at the door, and walked into the tea room, Yoshida Toyuki followed him in, and was also surprised at Takashimitsu's appearance.

This child's talent seems to be a bit high!Even if you feel the Zen of others, it is not that simple to express it.

Hikaru Takashi had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't count that Yoshida Tatsuyuki had summoned gods of Sugawara Michizane's level to the world.

This level of spiritual seance is not even possible in Ise's palace!

You must know that Sugawara Michizane is not a god enshrined by the Yoshida family. Sugawara Michizane was once the great devil who wanted to destroy Japan.

Chapter 62 Tea Party

The huge tea room was empty, and neither the participants nor the geisha had disappeared. Sitting on the tatami that still kept the temperature of the participants, Ying Siguang looked at the utensils that were using the kettle to boil water, and fell into a mused.

Sugawara Michizane, the god of learning in this country sat directly opposite him, no matter how he looked at it, he felt like a dream.

"This year's plum blossoms bloomed much earlier than in previous years. I didn't expect the joy of Huang Quanjin to affect the blooming of flowers in the world."

Michizane Sugawara slowly poured water into the teacup from the kettle, and the tea powder in the teacup began to bubble, and soon a bowl of tea was brewed like this.

The tea ceremony held at Tenmangu Shrine when the plum blossoms are in full bloom in early spring has always been a feature of Kyoto. Not only local tourists but also foreign tourists will come to experience the atmosphere of the tea ceremony. This is why director Saito’s film crew will come here. But this year, foreign tourists will be disappointed.

In the final analysis, the large-scale religious activities held by the shrine are not held for believers and citizens, but for gods.

The reason why it is scheduled to be held in early spring in Kyoto is because the plum blossoms of Tenmangu just bloom at this time, and now that it blooms earlier, Tenmangu has to prepare in advance.

It is not difficult to judge whether the consequences of making foreign tourists dissatisfied are more serious, or whether their own gods are more angry.

Important things need to be said twice, Sugawara Michizane was an out-and-out demon king before he became a god.

"The maiden of Tiantian Numing, and the priest of Tian'erwuming, I didn't expect you two to accompany me to this tea party this year."

Michizane Sugawara placed two bowls of tea in front of the two of them. Even though he was using the body of the young priest Kitagawa Hisahiko, he could still see the real identity of the other party through the priestess' vision. Michizane Sugawara dressed in official uniform.

"The demeanor of the Taizheng Minister has never changed. When I saw the Taizheng Minister 30 years ago, the divine light was not as pure as it is now."

Toyuki Yoshida took the tea bowl and put it in his hands, as if he didn't drink it just to keep warm.
