A heavy snow covered Kyoto, and this small basin showed a classical, cold, yet tender landscape.Anna changed into a kimono and added a warm shawl before going out.

The world outside is covered with snow, but there is no trace of snow on the street. Every household is diligent in cleaning the small piece in front of their door, and the degree of care is amazing.Under such a habit, no Bai Xue could survive.

"Ms. Anna is really beautiful in a kimono. It reminds me of the beauty of the Showa era." The photographer in charge of taking pictures of Anna sighed and nodded: "Even if she debuts as an idol, Mrs. Anna will definitely be popular."

Being beautiful doesn't mean you can be popular. The most important thing about idols is to have their own characteristics.People with a profession like photographers should be the most sensitive to beauty, and they can see the unique temperament of the old era in Anna at a glance.

The Showa era, the era of post-war reconstruction in Japan, Japan in this era has moved from a waste of time to prosperity again.The style of the whole society is high-spirited and upward, and social aesthetics will be affected by the social style. The stars of this period, both men and women, have a healthy and powerful temperament.

And girl idols are the most healthy and stylish - at the same time, there must be a touch of classical beauty.The facial features are delicate and the outline is round.

In today's society, it has been ten years since the Heisei era, and the Japanese economy has been sluggish during these ten years, and it seems that it has been declining.In Japan in this social atmosphere, the aesthetics have also begun to undergo tremendous changes.The newcomers who appeared on the screen began to become feminine, and girl idols had to rely on concepts such as being delicate and delicate.The roundness of the Showa era is gone, and they put more emphasis on the thin and pointed joints.

But this doesn’t mean that people in the Heisei era don’t love Showa Bijin anymore. In other words, it’s the social environment that makes everyone miss the Showa era and everything related to that era even more.

The charm of Showa beauty is the object of fascination of contemporary people. The female stars who were active in the Showa era are gradually aging, and this charm seems to disappear.

"Yes! That's it!" the photographer praised.

Anna is shooting a promotional video for Kyoto in a corner of the famous Nijo Castle in Kyoto. By the way, she is one of the few chess players who has a separate promotional arrangement.In terms of seniority, it was none of her business, but the person in charge immediately made a decision to arrange for her to come to Erjo City after seeing all the chess players.

It can only be said that when people are visual animals, the general audience will know which professional chess players are high-level players, and which ones are early-level players?Of course they don't know, or even if they know, they don't care.Compared to those uncles and grandpas, it is clear that Anna, a beautiful girl, has more publicity value.

According to the arrangement, Anna will pray under the plum tree after hanging the lantern aside.

There are also many plum trees in Japan. In fact, before the Japanese worshiped cherry blossoms, they followed the footsteps of the Song Dynasty.The Song Dynasty liked plum blossoms and raised them infinitely, so many plum blossoms were planted in Japan. Up to now, there are very old plum trees in some ancient buildings.

The red plum blossoms are almost red and dazzling, and the snowflakes are falling, which is desolate and strong.It's just that these still lifes that usually inspire photographers can only be used as a foil this time. Anna stood under the tree and raised her head slightly to pray.The shimmer stayed on her eyelashes, shining with delicate light, her skin was as white as snow, and her lips were more red than plum blossoms...

When the photo was taken, the photographer couldn't believe it—this girl, who is not even Japanese, seems to be the embodiment of Kyoto itself at this moment, reserved and alienated, beautiful and elegant, restrained and subtle, and vivid.If Kyoto was transformed into a human being, it would be nothing more than this.

"I think this photo can be used as the cover of a brochure. If it's true..." The assistant next to her could see that Anna was different at this moment.

Anna seemed to have some talent, and the shooting went smoothly. By about noon, all the work had been completed.Who doesn’t like leaving get off work early? The staff were very kind and gave Anna directions on how to get to the Kinkakuji Temple, or Luyuan Temple.

Luyuan Temple is also a well-known scenic spot in Kyoto. Because the outer wall of its core building, the Relic Hall, is covered with gold leaf and resplendent, it is called the Golden Pavilion Temple.Even now, the reputation of the nickname Kinkakuji has surpassed its real name, and many outsiders only know Kinkakuji, but not Luyuan Temple.

Anna took Maori into the taxi: "Please drive to Luyuan Temple."

"Do you drive to the Sando side?" "It's fine to drive to a place where it can't be driven."

Generally speaking, Kyoto is not big, and ancient Kyoto was even smaller. Almost all the places of interest in Kyoto exist on the site of ancient Kyoto.So Anna came to Luyuan Temple very close from Erjo Castle in the central area, and it didn't take long to drive there.

There are many temple buildings flashing past the car windows. In an ancient city like Kyoto, temple buildings are often not one or two, but a group.

Take Kinkakuji Temple as an example. In fact, it is only one of the stupa temples of Xiangguo Temple. If you stretch past, you can see another famous scenic spot in Kyoto, Xiangguo Temple!

Now it is considered to be during the winter vacation, there are many tourists in Kyoto, and there are many people in famous scenic spots such as Kinkakuji Temple.Anna was at a loss after getting off the car—she actually came to meet netizens.

I heard that there are many scammers on the Internet, and seeing netizens is even more taboo.But Anna feels that the 'Golden Pavilion' is trustworthy and not a bad person.Besides, with Maori by her side, what was she worried about?

The snow has stopped, but the north wind is still blowing. In one hand, Anna is holding the traditional paper umbrella given to her by the staff—this is one of the props during filming.The other hand clenched the shawl on his chest: "Maoli, do you know how to get there...there are so many people."

Anna and the "Golden Pavilion Temple" agreed on the place, of course, not the side of the relic hall with the most tourists, but in the woods behind the Golden Pavilion Temple with few people.

The Kinkakuji Temple is even more beautiful after the snow falls in winter. The white snow and the golden buildings complement each other, giving it an elegant and light magnificence.At the same time, the trees were covered with white snow, as thick as a blanket, and the pond was covered with thin ice.It cannot clearly reflect the relic hall, but there is another kind of hazy beauty.

There are also trails in the woods behind, and stones are laid, which greatly facilitates Anna who is wearing cumbersome clothes.Otherwise, even if she has a perfect score in sports, she might have to think about whether the 'Golden Pavilion Temple' who asked to meet here has any enmity with her.Take this opportunity to embarrass her or something.

"Is that guy Yaji different today?" Inside a Japanese-style mansion near Kinkaku-ji Temple, two young men in Hanakai-in who wore colored patterns couldn't help discussing.

This is the mansion of Fushouliu, a branch of Huakaiyuan. As the Chinese New Year approached, people coming and going from this house were all nervously preparing.

Cleaning up, changing peach charms, worshiping gods, and even some seals have to be strengthened again.Except for those who had missions, almost all the Fushouliu family members returned to the mansion to help.

"I'll go out for a while!" At the center of the discussion, Fushouliu's alternate leader, Kakaiin Yaji finally couldn't wait any longer.Hastily dropped this sentence, and then left.

"What happened to Yaji?"

"I don't know, maybe he's in a relationship... His girlfriend didn't call every week before, but it's become more and more frequent recently. It's winter vacation now, maybe someone has come to Kyoto."

"I don't know why, it's obviously a ridiculous thing, but it feels normal to hear you say that."

"Hahahaha, it's fine if you don't believe me. That guy Yaji is just putting on airs, but is it possible to cover up things like being in love?"

Masaji Hanakaiin, even though she was wearing a kimono with a color pay pattern that is not very suitable for action, and she still had clogs on her feet, she moved very freely. Now it is as common as eating and drinking, so there is no embarrassment.

Since ancient times, Kyoto has had eight seals guarded by the Huakaiyuan family for generations. Luyuan Temple is the third seal, and the core first seal is Nijo Castle, where Anna just shot.

Just like the monks lived in the monastery, of course these Huakaiyuan who guarded the seal for generations also lived in these key places.It's just that with modern changes, these sealed places that have been regarded as tourist spots can no longer be lived in, so most of the Huakaiyuan people live very close to the scenic spots.

That is to say, Kakaiin Masaji is very close to the Kinkakuji Temple from the family mansion.

Going up along the stone path, this is the place they agreed upon. In addition, Anna will wear a light gray shawl embroidered with plum blossoms, and Yaci will hold a string of beads, which are mutually identifying sign.

The winding trail seems to have no end, exhale, there is white mist.Huakaiyuan Yaci suddenly felt like a believer who went up the mountain alone to worship the gods. He firmly believed in the existence of gods, but his uneasy mood would not be a little less because of this.

After turning a corner, the girl who was waiting under an umbrella with a child looked over.

There were white plum blossoms on the shawl, and Masaji suddenly felt speechless.

He imagined meeting countless times, but when he actually met, it was completely different from what he imagined.

He didn't know how he got up the steps, but in the end he stopped on the same steps as Anna.On the trail with only the sound of breathing, Anna raised her head slightly: "'Kinkakuji'-san?"

"Yes!" The withdrawn soul heard himself talking: "Yes, my real name is Kakaiin Yaji, just call me Yaji."

"Blossoming Courtyard?" Anna was taken aback for a moment. Recently, she really has a fate with Huakai Courtyard.

"My real name is Liu Anna. Jin... Yaci can just call me Anna. Speaking of Huakaiyuan, is it the Huakaiyuan I know?"

Anna slightly raised her hand umbrella over Masami Kakain's head, at this time it started to snow again.The snow is not heavy, but the fine snowflakes are blown by the north wind, and there is a kind of pain on the skin.

"It's that Hanakain." Kakaiin Masaji was not surprised that Anna would know the reputation of Kakaiin. After all, this is also one of the famous onmyoji schools in Japan. As a colleague, Anna knew it, which is not unusual.

He lightly took the paper umbrella from Anna's hand, and with Masami Kakaiin's height, it was obviously much more comfortable for him to hold the umbrella.

"Let's go... I said before that I will take you sightseeing in Kyoto, and there is nothing to see here."

Anna bit her lip, finally nodded, and tightened the shawl again: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey - Maori, let's go."

Mori Toshiro looked curiously at Kakaiin Yaji, who was holding a separate small umbrella, which Anna bought for him when he passed the Yamashita convenience store.He fiddled with the handle of the umbrella and blinked: "Oh~"

Ya Ci, who has always been outstanding in observation, discovered that the child Anna was carrying was Fu Sangshen, and was slightly surprised: "Fu Sangshen?"

"Well, don't look at Mao Li as a child, he is my right-hand man!" Anna stroked Mao Li's head, like a parent showing off his child.

Yaji laughed, the smile on his lips was no longer the usual pretentiousness, I'm afraid he himself doesn't know how sincere he is now.

"Be careful when going down the mountain. The snow has not been cleared very cleanly, you might slip and fall." Huakaiyuan Yaji kept this slight protection until he went down the mountain.

"Then what places to visit in Kyoto?"

While taking Anna down the mountain, Kakaiin Masaji denied almost all the places of interest in Kyoto.The existence of the so-called scenic spots and historical sites is indeed the existence that locals will never go to see. By the way, the most famous scenic spots in Kyoto are all stationed at Hanakain, which is even more boring for Kakaiin Masaji up.

"How about taking you to dinner first? Do you want to see a geisha?" Kakaiin Yaji slightly raised his arm: "Be careful here."

A shallow puddle, if Anna is not wearing a kimono, I don't care at all, but she is wearing a kimono.

"Yes, thank you." Anna put one hand on Yaci's raised arm, lifted the skirt with the other hand, and walked carefully through the small puddle.

"You can have meals. I shot the whole morning this morning. Although I ate soba noodles at noon, I was still hungry. Geisha, geisha is expensive, right?" Anna pulled Maori by the collar and tugged , this little villain wanted to tread water just now!

"You don't need to think about the money. Anna thinks about our profession. In short, I will leave everything to me." Kakaiin Masaji adjusted his glasses: "But 'shooting'? Anna has a part-time job as a model? Or you Could it be an idol preparing to debut..."

It was only then that Anna remembered that the profession of dealing with ghosts and monsters was actually very lucrative, not to mention a well-recognized family like Huakaiyuan.

"No, idol? By the way, many people say that I am suitable for this." After all, Anna is not used to kimonos, and walking at this time can be said to be like walking on thin ice.

"However, if you are an idol, you will never do it in your life. How can you have that time?" Anna smiled and looked up: "Let me introduce again, I am Liu Anna, a new chess player at Nihon Ki Academy. This time I came to Kyoto because of Kyoto Wa Ki Academy Cooperation, come here to do promotion in Kyoto."

Anna's earnest walk made Yaci hold her breath, and she breathed a sigh of relief with her until she had finished walking for a while.

"Chess player? Before, Anna said that she has other ambitions, so this is it?" As for Anna's obsession with Go, instead of being a good Taoist priest, Kakaiin Yaji has no objection.

This has something to do with Kakaiin Masaji's character - for him who is conceited, he is arrogant in his own talent.So people who do well can do whatever they want, but those who do not do well will be cowards and escape like cowards.

While talking, Yaci had already led Anna into a not-so-busy alley, with shops and residential quarters on both sides of the alley.

After opening the curtain of the house, Anna discovered that there is something hidden inside - the decoration is completely Japanese, and more importantly, it is really very elegant.

"Welcome, ah, is this Yaji-kun?" The hostess was a waitress in a kimono, who looked about 30 years old and very gentle.

"Ms. Jingshan is the young head of this bellflower house. The Jingshan family has been passed down for twelve generations. It is very famous in Kyoto. Even in Kyoto, it is rare to see such an authentic one." Ya For the first time, he handed over the umbrella and shawl to another waiter beside her.

Ms. Jing Shan covered her mouth and laughed: "Yaci-kun is really good at talking, the twelfth generation or something, it's not worth mentioning compared to the Yaci-kun's family!"

"This is the first time Yaji-kun has brought a girl here, and there is an empty room between Mei, please come with me." The young master was very talkative, but her professionalism stopped her from talking.

The sliding paper door was opened lightly, and Ms. Iyama respectfully invited Yaci and Anna to enter.Ladies first, Kakaiin Masaji fell behind, so I heard Ms. Jingshan's soft encouragement.

"Come on, Yaji-kun!"

His eyes fell on Anna, and he said with a smile: "She is really a beautiful girl, you must hurry up."

Anna is studying the screen in the room, which seems to be a very old handicraft: "Is this the real thing?"

For example, the antiques displayed in restaurants are generally fake, but it cannot be ruled out that some extraordinarily high-end shops use real ones.Anna looked around, and felt that it was true that people could not be judged by appearances. Who would have known that a small shop hidden in a small corner of Kyoto would look like this inside.

This room named Meima is half open, only half of the side facing the courtyard is a shoji door, and the other half is a window that can be disassembled.Now the big window has been opened, and from here, it is just right to enjoy the plum blossoms.

It is very similar to the technique of Chinese gardens, looking at a scene from a window, so it seems that Anna is very curious about the difference in the courtyard seen from other rooms.

"The real thing, you like it very much?" Yaci was a little surprised as she sat upright opposite Anna, after all, Anna hadn't shown such preference before.

"Well, not at all." Anna was straightening Mao Li's collar: "Raise your hands up a bit—I mean, I'm just looking at it."

When I was talking, there was a sudden 'vibration'. It may not be accurate to say that it was a 'vibration'.Because for ordinary people, this is imperceptible, and it is closer to the vibration of 'Qi'.And in this 'qi', there is both demon power and spiritual power.

Mori Toshiro's reaction was also very fast, he quickly drew out the body knife, and then stood in front of Anna: "My lord, please step back!"

Anna stood up and Kakaiin Yaji glanced at each other, nodded, and rushed to the courtyard together.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the sky has not changed much except that it is cloudier than before.But in the eyes of Anna and Kakaiin Masaji, there are many ghosts and monsters in the sky.

"They're all offal, but there are too many of them. Did someone accidentally open some seal?" Kakaiin Yaci frowned.

"No matter what the reason is, the first thing to do now is to solve this problem." Anna stomped her feet. In fact, she didn't like to turn a good sightseeing into overtime work, but since she saw it, she couldn't treat it as if she didn't see it.

The ghosts and monsters in the sky are tangled together, and if they land, they will probably separate, and then it will be really troublesome!Huakaiyuan Yaci unfolded several spells: "I'll solve it, Anna, please protect the houses below."

That is to say, he wants to be the main attacker and let Anna play the support.Anna has no objection to being a supporting role. Kyoto is already someone else's territory. As long as the problem can be solved, what can she do as a part-time witch who has already left work.

Huakaiyuan broke into the house and summoned his shikigami, jumped up and down a few times, and he has already rushed to the high point, ready to fight.

As for Anna, Anna's matter is very simple, it is just to open the enchantment under the protection of Maori - without drawing symbols on the ground in advance, this pile of large enchantments will have a little impact, but this effect is not for Anna. what is the problem.The main reason is that today's opponent is too hot, even the weakened version of the barrier cannot be broken.

The handbag he was carrying was opened, and the yellow talisman was drawn by spiritual power, and flew to several predetermined directions centered on Anna.Anna temporarily drew a small talisman in the courtyard - she could only apologize to Ms. Jing Shan afterwards.

"All those who are facing the battle march forward!" As the corresponding handprints were formed, a huge and grand spiritual power surged out, and the northern part of Kyoto centered on Kikyo House was gradually included. the scope of protection.

The younger generation of Huakaiyuan, who followed Huakaiyuan Qiufang out to chase monsters, looked at the changes in the northern part of the capital, and couldn't close their mouths: "It's a lie, an enchantment of this scale! Could it be that Fushou flowed out? "

"Fushouliu?" Huakaiyuan Qiufang smiled lightly: "You are only joking, if Fushouliu could achieve this level, he would have replaced our family long ago."
