Chapter 297 The Moon Is Shining in the Sky, and the Ceremony Is Grand
"Ready? Let's go!"
It is rare for Isayama Koizumi to wear a grand costume. It is rumored that it is a kind of Chinese costume handed down from Yaozhou's heyday. After gradually adding the characteristics of Dongying, it became the costume that Dongying would wear every festival.
Because thousands of people died in the sudden epidemic, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, even their families were not allowed to see their bodies, and they were directly burned on the spot.
It has also made the atmosphere of Kyoto Imperial Palace seem a bit gloomy and gloomy recently. In order to change this atmosphere and cover up the holding of the annual festival of Asama Shrine, Kyoto Imperial Palace has moved up the fireworks display this year, and by the way, it has also attracted everyone. The alleys are full of men and women in costumes.
Zhao Youqian, who is going to participate in the annual festival of Asama Shrine, is naturally not exempt from customs. Fortunately, he is looking for Yaozhou-style clothes, not the deformed costumes of Dongying. Not acceptable to him.
The only pity is that his crew cut doesn't match his clothes well. Fortunately, in this atmosphere, no one will say anything else.
This year's festival is open, and Isayama Koizumi, as the inviter, will naturally go to the Asama Shrine with Zhao Youqian. In addition, I have seen the level of hidden power in the shrine before, which has greatly impacted Isayama Koizumi. I have been practicing in seclusion for a while.
Throwing her out to find Zhao Youqian, the great priest and others were also afraid that this girl would fall into the ascetic's magic barrier and waste her wonderful youth.
Just looking at those hermits who have been living peacefully, you can see the disadvantages of falling into the ascetic magic barrier, which is why Asama Shrine has undergone many changes in recent years.
It is also the reason for the younger generation to pursue ordinary life. Only by being able to switch between the daily life and the extraordinary life can the teenagers who have not yet fully formed their own worldview maintain their love for the world.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Youqian naturally didn't know that Isayama Huangquan came to call him, and it was related to many things, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.
After all, in his eyes, there is nothing that cannot be solved with cooking, if not, then come twice!
The neon lights were on, and this time he and Isayama Koizumi did not walk to Asama Shrine by foot, but had a special car to pick them up.
And the ingredients that Zhao Youqian needs to use in the ceremony have also been sent to Asama Shrine by Xuenv and other ghosts, and they are specially guarded.
Although Shimura Shiro can safely say that there is no chance to do evil, but the dark culinary world is a more difficult opponent than Shimura Shiro, Zhao Youqian does not want any surprises.
It was a normal arrangement to send all the ghosts to guard the most critical part, but what he was thinking more about at this time was the opponent he would face next.
The owner of the late-night cafeteria, Shinji Kobayashi.
But at this moment, Isayama Koizumi looked at the street outside the car and couldn't help showing a look of excitement.
"so beautiful!"
I often go out late at night to solve some supernatural troubles, but they are all walking on the dark old streets of the Kyoto Imperial Palace. This is the first time Isayama Koizumi has seen such a Kyoto Imperial Night.
It's like a charming woman with heavy makeup, she is also firmly attracted.
The streets are full of residents and tourists who have come out to play after the haze has been swept away. The shops in the streets and alleys that are closed at night have also extended their business hours today to welcome more guests and bring them more laughter.
The hustle and bustle of people began to gather towards the center of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and more people headed for the bridge outside the Kyoto Imperial Palace where the best view of the fireworks will be in full bloom.
Just where Zhao Youqian and their car passed by, you can see countless people walking towards the bridge, and the smiles on everyone's faces, even Zhao Youqian couldn't help but be infected quickly.
Isayama Koizumi, on the other hand, looked at the colorful night streets outside, showing a longing look.
"very interested?"
Zhao Youqian saw her expectations.
"When the New Year Festival is over, call your sister and we can take a walk here."
The invitation was completely out of a natural state of mind, and I did not expect Isayama Koizumi's expression to change slightly.
"It's still not necessary. The New Year's Festival will last for one night until dawn and sunrise. You should prepare for the New Year's Festival cooking ceremony at night!"
Being stunned so coldly, Zhao Youqian didn't know where he said something wrong, so he rubbed his fingers, feeling helpless.
'Sure enough, women are troublesome, no matter what age they are.'
The atmosphere in the car immediately dropped to freezing point. Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the car stopped soon. Surprisingly, it was not the place where Zhao Youqian entered the Asama Shrine last time.
Instead, in front of a shrine where you can see a lot of people coming and going, there are red lanterns hanging under the torii, which seems to be a bit festive.
At this time, there are still many pilgrims visiting here, and there are even small mobile shops selling snacks and toys here, and there is also a small game of fishing for goldfish that most often appears in Dongying celebrations.
"here it is?"
Zhao Youqian showed a puzzled look.
"The shrine is not a shameful place. Naturally, there are many believers, but most of the places behind it are closed to outsiders. It is rare to be happy today. In addition to the annual festival, the opening hours are naturally extended here, and there are many people."
Isayama Koizumi had a natural expression.
"So this is the main entrance of the shrine? Then what did you take me there for?"
Looking at the place where he entered the shrine before, Zhao Youqian pointed at the stream behind a forest that was completely opposite to each other with a speechless face.
"Oh, that's the back door where I'm afraid you will scare the believers here, so I just take you through."
She had a normal look on her face, but after turning around, Isayama Koizumi's shoulders shrugged from time to time still revealed her smile.
"never mind."
Zhao Youqian walked forward with a meaningless face, and quickly passed through the crowds, and came to the corridor where he had been before.
At this time, he also noticed the difference from when he came here before, a powerful force blocked the surrounding space, and countless aliens that were not visible in the past appeared around.
The more you walk forward, the more you can feel the palpitating power fluctuating.
You can also see more existences in the extraordinary world, many of them are even 'familiar' faces that Zhao Youqian had seen when he was eating the halberd in the dark.
'I don't know if Mr. Taizhen and Mr. Yu Husband will come.'
Zhao Youqian still has time to think about things.
At this time, the moon has entered the sky, and the moonlight like water is falling down. Walking on the stone steps towards the back mountain, it is like stepping on the steps made of jade.
At this moment, the sound of fireworks blooming sounded in the distance.
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless brilliance pierced the night and competed with the bright moon, which also represented the official climax of the grand ceremony outside!
