Magic world

The time came around 6:40 in the morning. Ito Kikujiro and Ito Shigei, who had arrived at the venue earlier, were led by the government officials to the large sacrificial sedan that had been prepared earlier. Ito Kikujiro was saluted by the government officials. Arriving at the front of the large sacrificial sedan chair, holding a sacred ritual flag made of imperial coins, the first step of the ritual began, praying to the gods.

Surrounded by people who were selected from various industries in the city, they all wore open-breasted tops with patterns of blue waves and jumping carps, and their lower bodies were only wrapped in a Japanese-style traditional pocket cloth. Strong men and a few special women. It's just that an extra layer of ancient cloth bra is added to the woman's chest.

Ito Kikujiro was chanting in the solemn atmosphere of the people around him, waving the sacred flag in his hand several times, and the chanting was not completed until he heard a loud shout. Afterwards, Ito Kikujiro stepped forward and took out the Japanese-style sake in the offering, and sprinkled more than half of it on the ground and the sedan chair. This was the final sacrifice before the start of the Summer Ritual Festival.

rise!

Ito Kikujiro jumped on the sedan, stood at the front of the sedan, waved the sacred flag in his hand, and drank loudly. Immediately, the burly men who were standing around the sedan quickly stepped forward one by one, chose their respective positions, and with the slogan Hey!, they lifted the sedan up, and the remaining people around them Surrounded by the bearers who didn't get involved, he walked out according to the thoroughfare selected by the city government...

The route taken by the sedan chair during the summer festival has also been specially selected. First, it is important to use the main road for traffic, but it cannot deviate from the city center. Second, it should be close to major commercial streets to increase the flow of people and promote consumption during the summer festival. Third, we must not leave the residential area to avoid overcrowding during the Summer Festival. Fourth, this road should show some of the city's special scenery, which can be regarded as a city promotion strategy.

Just choosing this path is enough for government officials to discuss for several days.

As the sedan moved forward, more and more people began to appear on the path of the sedan. Beautiful girls in kimonos were surrounded by men, old and young, wearing kimono, happily gathering together. lively.

At this time, shrine maidens selected from several other shrines that had not been selected as officiants began to appear at the front of the sedan. From time to time, they sprinkled a handful of flower petals in their hands, adding some beautiful elements to the joyful atmosphere.

Outside the crowd, tourists and nearby residents who came from the scene also followed the parade, talking to each other, or taking pictures with their cameras and DVDs.

When the parade passed near the commercial street, the store doors in the commercial street seemed to have been waiting there for a long time. A large number of special products were placed at the door of the stores. The enthusiastic young man and the beautiful sales lady greeted each other with smiles on their faces. Tourists passing by introduced it in order to sell more products and get more bonuses on this festive day.

Just like this, they marched slowly and stop-and-go until almost noon, the sedan team finally arrived at their final destination, a spacious park. The green grass and fresh air made the people who followed us sit down comfortably, regardless of whether the grass was clean or not.

The big sedan fell down, and Ito Kikujiro jumped down from the top of the sedan, joined the miko who came over, and began to perform sacrificial activities. In front of the special fire frame prepared by the official, Mr. Ito lit the fire frame. Then the shrine maidens formed a circle around the fire frame and gently shook the bells around it. They danced in time with Mr. Ito's sacred flags and the names in their mouths. The inaudible eulogy brought the atmosphere into solemnity again.

After a while, Ito Kikujiro took out a handful of royal coins from his arms and threw them into the fire, and the entire ceremony was completed. Ito Cheng discovered that after the imperial coins were thrown into the fire, the energy emitted by it became obviously abnormal, and an obviously spiritual energy jumped in the flames.

At this time, the takeaway staff from various restaurants who had been waiting aside had a belt around their necks, and a large wooden box hanging under the belt, filled with various takeaways. Sandwiches, lunch boxes, drinks and other snacks instantly turn the park into a picnic spot.

Seeing this, the government official stepped forward and thanked Mr. Ito. Then he took Mr. Ito, Ito Cheng, and other related ritual personnel and left together to have breakfast at a restaurant near the park. A prepared meal.

During this process, the young Ito Cheng, as the descendant of Mr. Ito, naturally became a topic of discussion. From time to time, he praised the old man and then turned around and fell on Ito Cheng, which made Ito Cheng very uncomfortable. But this also brought some benefits, being noticed by those witches...

Of course, Yi Tengcheng didn't pay less attention to the other party. But at the same time, Ito Cheng also confirmed one thing. Indeed, as the old man said, none of the shrine employees had real talents. This made Ito Cheng, who had some expectations in his heart, an unspeakable disappointment.

After a lengthy social meal, Ito Cheng and Mr. Ito were sent back to the shrine, and it was time to make further arrangements in the evening.

Returning to the shrine, Ito Cheng found that the originally deserted shrine was now full of people. Led by the second sister Rena Ito, pairs of lovers first shook the prayer bells to make wishes, and then donated some merit money to the merit box. Finally, they were Bring it to the eldest sister Ito Suzu, and if possible, draw a lot and let the eldest sister explain. The mother, Eriko Ito, was in the main hall, entertaining adults and young people who came to worship the gods.

Do you need my help? Taking advantage of a free moment, Ito Cheng walked up to the second sister Rena and asked softly.

A-Cheng, please come back. I just can't be busy by myself, so you can also come and receive me. Reina was very happy to see Ito-Cheng, and said immediately after hearing about Ito-Cheng's culture.

At this time, another young office worker came over. The second sister, Reina, took a breath and walked quickly over, leading the other person with a smile. Ito Cheng looked at everything in front of him and smiled. He also greeted a mother and daughter wearing kimonos and served them.

Busy and busy, the day passed quickly. When night was about to come, Zheng Fu's shuttle bus once again stopped at the foot of the shrine, picking up the old man and Ito Cheng's sister and brother, leaving only Her mother, Eriko, stayed alone in the shrine, receiving guests who might still show up.

When the car stopped, Ito Cheng and others returned to the park where the car stopped in the morning. The fire frame lit by the old man was still burning, with no intention of extinguishing it. Just in the center of the square, a temporary high platform made of wood was erected there. On both sides of the high platform, there was a slightly smaller platform that protruded like ears, and two huge taiko drums were placed on it.

After a while, with the sound of a gong, the noisy sound in the entire venue gradually quieted down. Suzu Ito and Rena Ito, dressed in witch costumes, each held a gold and silver fan, with bells on their wrists and ankles. Then he walked onto the high platform in the middle. Behind them, several other shrine maidens walked up barefoot, holding brass sacrificial bells that seemed to be several times smaller than the Zen war, and knelt down behind Ito Suzu.

On the two smaller platforms next to them, two shirtless men wearing only dungarees and wearing ropes walked up and took out the drum hammers, posing as if they were about to hit.

At this moment, a melodious Japanese-style classical sacrificial music sounded. Along with the rhythm of the music, the two drummers began to beat. At the same time, Ito Suzu and Ito Rena performed the shrine maiden's hand dance during the ceremony.

The graceful dance, coupled with the graceful music and heavy taiko drums, gave rise to a sense of distant history from the bottom of the heart, and then the crisp ringtones sounded from time to time, making everyone calm down and let the restlessness go away... At the same time, as With the movements of the two of them, a wave of spiritual power spread out around the two of them. Like a breeze, it swept through everyone's hearts, making all the tourists feel relaxed and happy from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were tired and tired from the past. All the haze in my heart disappeared.
