I, the lord of ghost stories

Sitting up, the right hand pillowed under the neck was numb.

He stood up and moved towards the window, then slowly opened the window.

The fresh tidal wind produced convection currents with the dull air in the room, and the cool wind blowing head-on cooled the sweaty skin.

After feeling the instant coolness, Yuu Sifengin turned his head away.

"Qianxue? Are you awake?"

He asked softly, but there was no response.

A strange feeling emerged.

Yuu Sifeng shook his head completely shaking his sleepiness away.

Probably still sleeping?

It is also easy to get sleepy at night in early summer.

ring bell.

The sound of the wind chime made his gaze return to the direction of the window, but there was nothing there.

Thinking about it carefully, there is no wind seal hanging in this room at all.

Speaking of which, where did the sound come from?

"Qianxue?"

Glancing through the head, hair was flowing down the bed like a waterfall, and the sleeping girl's body was emitting strong white fluorescent light, gradually turning transparent.

The white fluorescent light rose into the air, as if communicating somewhere, and disappeared at one end.

"The body disappeared?"

Yu Sifengyuan had never seen such a situation.

It can only be roughly judged from the eyes that Qianyu Qianxue took the initiative to do so.

The soul is condensed with divine power, and the body also contains a part of power.

It's just...the body just disappears.

"In this way, I have abandoned my identity as a human being and returned to the posture of a god in advance!"

It is easy for the body to disappear, but it is not easy to regain the human body... At least for now, the gods cannot create a human body out of thin air by divine power to accommodate their own souls.

"Why would she do that?"

The power that can be retained in the body is actually relatively rare.

Even this bit of power must be taken away, Qian Renxue's state...

Yuu Sifengyuan's heart sank slightly.

There was a slight sound of footsteps, followed by a light knock on the door.

"Sifengyuan, it's time for breakfast, may I come in?"

The voice of the proprietress Yoshihara came from outside.

"Oh, please come in."

There was a sound of opening the door, and the proprietress with food sticks in both hands was opening the door and coming in.

A waiter followed behind her.

"I kept you waiting."

As far as the eye can see, the proprietress is holding an astonishing amount of vegetable dishes in her hands, and each plate is almost full.

I believe that no one should finish this breakfast.

"Miss Boss, what's going on with this amount...?"

"Of course it's for you to eat."

"Don't worry, everything has been paid."

The proprietress put the dishes in her hands on the table with a smile on her face, and began to refill him with the rice bucket she was holding in her arms.

The waitress who brought him dinner said something strange after delivering the meal for two.

"Does your meal still need two servings as before?"

Hearing the word "for two", Yuu Sifeng realized something.

"Actually, I'm not full. After all, I have a big appetite."

Then, inadvertently, Sifengyuan asked if the proprietress was not there

"Do you know the Chiba family who lived here before?"

The proprietress was busy preparing vegetables, listened to the words, recalled it, and smiled.

"It's Senba's house, right? I used to live in the town, but I moved later. I heard they're running for county councilor."

"It's a big shot from our town!"

"He has a daughter, have you heard of it?"

"It's Little Qianxue... I used to come here to play when I was a child. She is a very cute child. She should be about your age now."

After asking some more questions, Yuu Sifeng was slightly relieved.

It's just that the people in the hotel forgot a memory, not that [existence] disappeared.

If it is really possible to erase existence from the entire world gradually...

Yuu Sifengin could hardly imagine that level of horror.

Simply forgetting the memory is very common.

The small part of these missing memories, the human brain will naturally fill in and create memories.

"How is this summer? You haven't been back for a year, right?"

In the memory of the proprietress, she shouldn't have met Yuu Sifeng a year ago.

It's just that a part of the memory is lost, and I make it up by myself, and I don't know what it looks like after the brain is made up.

In short, if you are a little sensitive, you will notice something is wrong.

"It really hasn't changed at all."

In the memory of the proprietress, Sifeng Yuanyu was also a guest here.

"Time flies, Sifeng Yard, you have been living in this room at this time for six consecutive years."

The proprietress who skillfully poured the tea into the cup spoke with emotion.

The proprietress in a kimono with her hair up is very gentle and considerate.

She seems to be well maintained, and she is not very old. Wearing an elegant and charming black kimono, she looks more beautiful and soft.

"That's right...it's already the sixth time..."

As if responding to her emotion just now, Yuu Sifengin nodded.

"So, how long will you be staying here this year?"

"Well, I haven't decided yet."

Facing the boss lady's question, Yuu Sifeng was silent for a while after answering.

"After attending the funeral of the old man Paddy, why don't you stay and visit for a few more days?"

"The festival prepared by the shrine happens to be held within these seven days, and there is also a fireworks show, which is very lively!"

"About the local Ryuhime Shrine, how much do you know, lady boss?"

"The shrine is very effective. The sacrifice is held every year, even if it is a typhoon, it will detour. Dragon Princess takes care of the people in this land."

She lowered her head and served the brewed grapefruit osmanthus tea.

The faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus seemed to become more gentle with her smile.

"Is there any taboo in worship?"

Sifengyuan took a sip of tea, the entrance was full of aroma, a touch of sweetness, and a fruity aftertaste, so I couldn't help drinking more.

"If you want to talk about taboo, it's not in the empty-handed area, right?"

The proprietress answered without even thinking about it.

"To participate in the ceremony, more or less sacrifices must be offered, not many, a cup of tea, a piece of snack, and a piece of candy count."

"It's all food and drink? Shouldn't it be coins?"

When visiting a shrine, after entering the hall of worship, first put your heart into the money box.

Because the pronunciation of five yen in the Japanese language is the same as that of Youyuan, some people will put in five yen coins for good luck.

When praying for a relationship with others, you will say "ご縁がありますように", so putting in five yen also means that you hope to be able to form a relationship with the gods.

The people believe that they have the shelter of the gods to have their current life-in this world, it is the truth.

Tossing coins is to thank the gods.

Generally speaking, there is no hard and fast amount, which can be decided according to one's own financial ability.

"Coins can be given or not, but every time you visit the shrine, you must offer refreshments and food."

"Everyone must have it, regardless of the type, but one piece of water and one piece of food are the best."

"It's an interesting rule."

"That's right, I also think, I heard it wasn't like that at the beginning, it started in the last few decades, it seems that Long Ji wanted to eat something enshrined in the world..."

Speaking of this, the lady boss is very excited

"Hey, I heard from a girl from the Shangchuan family in the town that once when she visited the shrine alone when there were few people, she just put the lotus leaf pancakes in the offering bowl and disappeared in front of her immediately..."

"So, the gods like to eat delicious food, is it cute?"

"Yeah... very cute."

Yuu Sifeng sighed inexplicably.

Chapter 210 Seventh Lantern Festival

Time passed quickly, Sifeng Yuanyu ran out of breakfast, and walked out of the Yoshihara Hotel in the morning light.

"It might rain, please bring your umbrella."

The waiter graciously handed over a light red Tang umbrella, the ribs of which were made of wood, and the surface of the umbrella was printed with light golden dragon shadows.

"During the rainy season, try to carry an umbrella with you.

Ah, in order to ensure the supply of water on the road, please bring drinks, and don’t forget to take a free round fan. "

"The festival of the shrine has begun, which will last for seven days in total. Today there are lantern parades, tea drinking festivals, and dragon boat festivals.

The most important thing is that when the mikoshi travels, it will circle around the vicinity to purify the pollution, and then return to the shrine, and send it into the water after the ceremony is completed. "

The waitress gave a brief introduction, pressed her hands on the purple bathrobe with patterns, and bowed slightly:

"I wish you a pleasant journey."

Besides Sifeng Yuanyu, there were other guests in the restaurant.

There are some people with family and mouth, and some start to ask:

"Miss Kawaguchi, has the festival started yet?"

"Yes, it will last for seven days. In fact, today is the official start."

The so-called festival, the general process, first is the "mountain" parade, which represents the appearance of evil spirits and the raging of diseases;

Then the gods set off from the shrine in a "miko" and began to "inspect" to the imperial brigade, where they stayed for a week to dispel evil spirits and suppress evil spirits.Then the hoko chariots parade, which means that the gods have come to the world, and the human and gods are united. Grand celebrations are carried out until it is finally confirmed that the evil spirits have dispersed, and the gods are sent back to the shrine.

The details may vary, but the process is the same.

Sifengyuan walked leisurely on the cement road surrounded by greenery, and vaguely heard the sound of drums coming from the street outside. The sound was bursting and full of rhythm.
