I, the lord of ghost stories

When we reached the junction of the alley, the sound of the drums stopped, and we saw a row of horizontal drums, about seven of them, hanging on red-painted wooden frames, being pushed forward by five or six strong young men.

There are pulleys installed under the shelf, but the speed of travel is not fast.

Those guarding the shrine and the musical instrument group were all dressed in white and wore white scarves, and the team moved forward neatly.

There were hundreds of onlookers, bustling and bustling, all wearing colorful bathrobes, slowly following the team.

Suddenly, there was a uniform applause from the crowd, and there was also a rhythm.

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa!"

It turned out to be a group of people, bowing their heads, bowing respectfully in front of a tall shrine as tall as a two-story building.

This is offering.

In the process of mikoshi's trip, offerings are also accepted.

When the people around applaud, their attitudes are serious and their expressions are pious, and there is a solemn atmosphere that infects the onlookers.

Mikoto is a gorgeous double-decker float, 6 meters high, decorated with textiles, printing and dyeing products, sculptures and other exquisite artworks, almost like a walking art gallery.

The outside is covered by curtains made of bamboo mats, and the inside is empty. It is said that a mirror will be placed as a substitute for the divine body. .

After a pause of a few minutes, the big drum continued to sound, accompanied by the accompaniment of shakuhachi and shamisen, and the mikoshi moved forward slowly.

The person who pushed the mikoshi while walking continued to jolt and shake it slightly.

This is believed to help purify the surroundings of filth.

In the eyes of Sifeng Yuanyu, a white light hangs down from the tall shrine.

With the shaking and bumping, traces of clear light rippled like ripples on the water surface.

The ripples touched nearby buildings and spread like real ripples.

Repeatedly, constantly washing away.

Everyone present was surrounded by the clear and bright water, being purified.

Some filthy smells that are hidden deep, traces of them, when they meet the water light, it seems that there is a chemical reaction in an instant, and there is a crackling sound.

In some of the black smoke, there are still faces smaller than fingernails.

At a level that ordinary people can't perceive, these filth and ominous things are wiped out.

As far as the eye can see, the water is clear, and even spread to the underground waterway farther away.

Some weak evil spirits, or light gray, or black smoke, are quickly disappearing like a formidable enemy.

An old mouse that couldn't escape, lost its head, and ran into the shrine.

The dense white light poured down, and immediately the huge mouse, as if it had been splashed with acid water, screamed piercingly, and finally its limbs became weak, and it fell to the ground and turned into green smoke.

The so-called purification is worthy of the name.

The miraculous priests went around the town, and all the filth, big and small, were expelled and purified, and even the monsters had to be moved away temporarily.

If you stay without permission, you are a wild monster, and your death is in vain.

In fact, drums, shakuhachi, and shamisen are all played. The music itself is not so outstanding, and it may even feel monotonous if you listen to it too much.

It's just that Yuu Sifeng was enjoying this lively feeling.

"Where will Qianxue be?"

In his eyes, the mikoshi is just a float shrouded in white light, constantly swaying clear light towards the surroundings, purifying the filth layer by layer.

The power of the gods has dropped, but unfortunately the gods are not there, and the shrine should be empty.

On the street, people wearing bathrobes slowly followed the advancing crowd, most of them smiling.

Prosperity makes the atmosphere of sacrifice more intense.

Many small yatai and other shops opened at the same time, decorated with lights, hanging lanterns, the most traditional atmosphere.

Take a look at the places where tourists gather on the roadside, and there are awards and merchandise for sale.

There are Zongzi to dispel bad luck, omori related to Dragon God, and various fans.

Take a closer look, the rice dumpling of the long sword (长刀の米) is priced at 1000 yen.

Misfortune palms made from bamboo leaves come in many different designs.

Its function is to ward off bad luck, but Sifeng Yuanyou just glanced at it, and couldn't see the slightest aura, at best it was just a souvenir.

Zhanchushan's auspicious catfish (Zhanchushan の吉照あゆ) is 1200 yen for five and five.

It is the auspicious catfish limited to the Gion Matsuri of "Daigokuden Honpo", a long-established confectionery shop in Kyoto founded in 1885, with glutinous rice candy in the middle.

The effect is safe delivery... But, ditto.

It is also a comfort in my heart, but it has no effect at all.

Even in this world with many miracles, 1000 yen is still too little.

You get what you pay for, you get what you pay for for two or three, and you get what you pay for poor quality...

Yen can almost try to buy some small charms to remove bad luck.

The wish bag is 1000 yen each.

All kinds of original wish bags, write your wish on paper and put it in the bag, it is said that the wish will come true.

There are moon, rabbit, cherry blossom and other styles.

The wish bag is somewhat mysterious, because there are dragon shadows on it.

Write down your wish and keep praying, maybe it can be conveyed...but it may not be realized.

People in the town dragged the mikoshi, and the flow of people followed slowly.

Taiko, shakuhachi, and shamisen played continuously.

Along the way, I saw other activities organized by local people.

For example, screen festivals, kimono festivals, and weapons festivals.

The old homes and shops in the town have put out their own collections of artworks and old furniture as decorations.

Because there are many screens, it is also called the screen festival.

Other weapons and kimonos are also on display.

Traditional performances can be performed on a well-built stage, performing traditional performances such as singing and dancing music, diba dance, zither music, shakuhachi, and poetry chanting.

The parade of flower umbrellas is the most distinctive. It can be seen that geisha, maiko and children wear flower hats on their heads and perform classical performances in kimonos. The atmosphere is lively.

There are also Gion taiko drums, traditionally dressed children riding on horses, and more than 1000 people parading in the town.

Passing the Huasan parade, I saw children dressed as egrets dancing.

In the subsequent concluding song, everyone beat the time with their hands, and the sound of the horn, the rhythm was clear, elegant and elegant.

Mikoto walks along the seashore, and Sifengyuanyu sees hundreds of small boats paddling vigorously on the sea, leaving behind white waves.

More than 100 ships on the sea are going upstream, which is actually very shocking.

It is said that the first person will get the bronze dragon head of the shrine, and the fishery will inevitably double in the next year, and it will go smoothly.

Therefore, every ship is chasing after each other slowly, rowing around the prescribed route.

Mixed in the crowd, slowly followed the route of the shrine, and made a full circle, and disappeared in almost a day.

The night is like a veil, slowly covering the sky and the earth.

All the street lights around were turned on, and there were several rows of people in the team escorting the shrine, holding up bamboo poles and carrying lanterns.

The lights shone brightly along the way, like daytime.

"It's so beautiful..."

"It's a pity that Qianxue is not here!"

The sound of firecrackers sounded in the distance, accompanied by blossoming fireworks.

An important part of the festival is the fireworks display.

In many animations, it is mentioned heavily.

The climax of the festival can be said to be the more than 5000 fireworks that are lit in the evening.

Those who often watch Japanese TV dramas should know that many lovers confess their love during the firework festival.

It's a pity that if you go shopping alone, you always feel a little lonely.

Liveliness belongs to others, but loneliness belongs to oneself.

Yuu Sifengyuan had a rough idea of ​​what it was like.

This is not surprising, the others are all friends and friends, surrounded by relatives and friends, only he seems to be alone.

Isn't it lonely to go to the festival alone...

Mikoshi turned around and returned to the shrine.

The Ryujin Shrine is located in the central area of ​​the town.

The style is simple and solemn, quiet and peaceful.

In the evening sky, two strings of red lanterns hang above the torii gate.

The crowd in light white sacrificial attire dragged the shrine to the shrine.

Across the torii, the shrine is surrounded by a strong white light.

The priests were wearing formal light white sacrificial attire, and a ceremony was being held behind them.

Miko danced Kagura dance on the stage, with gorgeous costumes, graceful dance postures, and rhythmic tambourine ringing.

The crowd sat under the stage, bustling, watching the performance on the stage.

Walking into the depths, in the open space under the corridor before the worship hall, a tea ceremony is being held.

The introduction column on the side introduces the cause and effect of this tea ceremony.

It is said that at the beginning, the local priests were inspired by the gods and saw that the ancestors in the eternal life lacked clothing and food, so they offered tea and other things and asked the gods to pass them on.

The purpose is to pray that the ancestors of the eternal world can stay away from hunger and cold.

It is said that it is a tea festival, but in fact it is not only tea, but also other things.

Most of them reflect a heart, and there is no specific sacrifice requirement.

Sacrifice to the Biao family and the Li family to serve every other year.

In fact, it is a family in the town. Only half of the people donate tea, drinks and food every year, and they are divided into two batches for rotation.

Because in the past, life was difficult and it was also difficult to donate food, so they were divided into two families, the inner and the outer, to donate every other year.

This tradition has been carried on.

All kinds of tea drinks are not limited to tea, there are also all kinds of drinks made by housewives and dedicated to God... Sifengyuan You even saw bitter melon-flavored soda, durian-flavored coffee, and various flavors Exotic drinks.

They are all packed in bamboo tubes and cartons and placed under a special wooden corridor.

That's where the offerings are made.

The representatives of the town will wrap the food made by door-to-door on the same day with bamboo leaves, seal it up, and put it under the corridor.

It is densely packed, it looks like it is full of food and refreshments, and it is full of aroma.

Then, he disappeared in public.

Sifengyuan watched this scene leisurely, thoughtfully.

"Whether it's food or tea, it was indeed taken away by Qianxue."

Miracles appeared every year, and cheers erupted among the crowd after witnessing the miracles.

"God has accepted! God has accepted!"

Even the children were smiling happily.

On the ceremony, the gods used the sacrifices.
