[Onmyoji] Twenty centimeters meet

After all the dust settled, Hayakawa Jiang followed Yimulian back to the small shrine.

There was no one in the shrine for a long time, so it was naturally a layer of dust. Fortunately, Hayakawa Jiang can also help clean up now, and the three of them working together are not tired.Just in time, two days later will be the long-awaited New Year. Before the New Year, every household will have a big cleaning to show the meaning of getting rid of the old and ushering in the new.

Ootengu came back from Mori no Sato on the second day. As soon as he entered the door, he began to silently watch Hayakawa Akane's back. No matter how he looked at it, he felt a little numb.

——At least in Huang's eyes, it's disgusting.

According to the agreement before parting, the first New Year Otengu in Heian-kyo will be spent with Hayakawa Jiang, and now Ootengu came to the small shrine of Yimulian just to fulfill his promise, not to mention that the New Year is coming soon, He prepared a dress for the little girl to wear when visiting the celebration, and now that dress is lying obediently in Hayakawa Sakura's room.

The shrine has been abandoned for many years. Although the area is small, it still takes a lot of effort to clean it, not to mention the New Year's cleaning. The cleaning of the lintels and eaves was done by a few people.

The few people who live in the shrine are not the ones who like to hold big celebrations, but it is not sloppy to decorate Kadatsu and Shimenawa according to the rules.

The job of cleaning the dust while standing on a high place was taken over by Ichimoren, so Akane Hayakawa consciously sat on a small table and made Kadomatsu and Shimenawa—in modern society, these two decorations can be bought as finished products. But in the relatively backward Heian-kyo period, everything had to be done by manual labor.

Kadosong is used to decorate the porch, implying that the god of the year will stay here for a while to bring New Year blessings to the whole family.Mensong needs to use the pine branches of male and female trees to decorate bouquets and flower ropes respectively, and then fix them on the gateposts on both sides.The memory of making paper silk flowers in the past is still there. After the three of them cleaned up, a pair of freshly baked pine trees were neatly placed at the gate.

"I'll help you." Big Tengu leaned forward with quick eyes and hands, and circled up from Hayakawa's gym on purpose, as if he wanted to fully embrace the little girl in his arms, attracting all eyes and Huangya behind him itch.Fortunately, the eyes of the two were too unfriendly, and Daitengu didn't dare to cross the line too much, but just looked down at Hayakawa Jiang——

The little girl's ears turned red at some point.

Although the shrine has not had any guests for a long time, as a former god, Ichimoren still hangs the shimenawa rope directly above the main hall of the shrine.Shimenawa and Kadomatsu have the same effect, but also represent the nobility and inheritance of the shrine, and also have the meaning of family prosperity.

After everything was arranged, the corners of his lips were bent when he looked at the brand-new shrine, but he sighed softly as if thinking of something.

He doesn't regret losing his eyes, and if he did it all over again, he would still make the same choice.

——It’s just that he is too lonely, so he cherishes the existence of Huang and Hayakawa Jiang even more. They are the pillars that he sticks to here day after day.

Finally, it was the last night before the new year, and the people who had dinner returned to their rooms, but before they could rest, the big tengu heard the little girl approaching the door of his room on tiptoe.

"Big Tengu, are you there?"

Of course... Ootengu was amused by Hayakawa Jun's unnecessary question. He didn't answer, but directly opened the door and pulled the little girl who hadn't reacted into his room.

"Why, do you want to do bad things at night again?" Daitengu raised his eyebrows, deliberately mentioning the adventure in the palace of the Lord of Arakawa.

"Of course not..." Hayakawa Sakura's face turned red, but Ibaraki Doji came to mind unexpectedly.

That night he seemed to be the closest. After that, he may have been faintly aware of his choice, so he went back to Dajiangshan silently. He didn't appear in front of him until a while ago. After he was full, he left as quietly as when he came.

He may have given up...

Jun Hayakawa shook the bell on her ankle unconsciously. Although she couldn't hear the sound, the metal feeling she occasionally touched while walking let her know that the bell was always there, just like Ibaraki Doji's attention, although sometimes it was careless , but will always pay attention quietly, and then give him a helping hand when he needs him most.

After all, she is ashamed of him.

"What are you thinking?" Big Tengu stretched out his hand and pinched Hayakawa Sakura's cheek, saw that the little girl's facial features were all wrinkled, and regretfully let go of it - there were two light red marks on the tender skin, I'm afraid it will take a while to disappear.

Big Tengu was a little annoyed, but he knew who Hayakawa Jiang was distracted just now, and the little girl's little movement of shaking her ankles quietly did not escape his eyes. Out of a man's intuition, he dared to conclude that Hayakawa Jiang was thinking of that obtrusive Ibaraki Doji guy.In the dark, the relationship between him and Ibaraki is full of swords and swords like a master's move, but the final victory or defeat still depends on Hayakawa Jiang's own choice.

He was very fortunate and relieved, because Hayakawa Jiang was on his side after all.

"I didn't think about anything." Hayakawa Jiang shook her head wanting to cover up.

Just kidding, how can Otengu know the content of his desertion, although Ootengu doesn't say anything, this person is a big jealousy jar, because Ibaraki Doji gave him the bell, he has been jealous for a long time alone.

"It's like this..." Hayakawa Jiang decided to change the subject, and explained why she came here: "Although Yimulian didn't say anything, he was still sad because no one came to the shrine to pay homage. I helped Master Qingming, so I made a small contribution to the flames." Saying that, Hayakawa Jiang raised a sly smile, stretched out her tender white fingers as long as her little knuckles, and signaled to the big tengu that really only A little bit.

After staying in the progressive society of the 21st century for so long, Hayakawa Jun is familiar with the overwhelming media propaganda methods in the present world, so it is easy to promote the public opinion trend among the people of Heianjing.She only needs to entrust a few little demons to incarnate into human beings to sneak into the crowd, and then pretend to be a storyteller in a teahouse or something, and tell Yimulian's deeds a little bit as a secret. If this continues, there will always be true believers.

"So we're going to call Yimolian out of the room, and we're still looking for an excuse that has nothing to do with it?" Da Tengu felt that Hayakawa Jiang had set himself a difficult task, but he couldn't just admit defeat, After all, this is also a good opportunity to brush up favors.

Hayakawa Jiang felt relieved when she saw Otengu's full confidence, but she would never have thought that Otengu's so-called confidence was to suggest "Why don't we go out and enjoy the moon together" when facing Yi Mulian.

Here, Yimulian was pulled out by Hayakawa Jiang and Datengu for the reason of "appreciating the moon". He looked up at the not so bright moonlight, raised his eyebrows suspiciously, but didn't say anything, and It was the opportunity to be taken to the newly renovated main hall of the shrine.

...Wait, sitting in the main hall, it's not just that you can't see the moon, you can't even see the night sky.Yimulian became more and more suspicious of the motives of the two, but when he saw Hayakawa Jiang secretly excited, he chose to wait and see for a while.

This one, another stick of incense passed by, and when he finally couldn't hold back, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice faintly came from his ear.

At some point, the bell of the shrine, which had been silent for a long time, rang.

A total of one hundred and seven blows.

At the end of the [-]th bell, the new year begins, and then another bell rings, the [-]th, which means the beginning of the new year.

The person who rang the bell was Huang, and he secretly used his own power in the last blow, so the bell sounded so far that even the teacups on the table resonated.

But Yimulian's attention was no longer on the bell—he heard the movement at the gate of the shrine, which he hadn't heard for many years, and it belonged to human beings, one after another, praying.

Lord Fengshen please bless my whole family in the New Year safely.

Thank you Fengshen for protecting Heianjing.

The shrine, which had been silent for a long time, finally welcomed another group of believers on this cold night at the beginning of the new year.

"In the new year, please Lord Yimulian bless the little girl to be more and more beautiful!" Hayakawa Jiang bowed to Yimulian, then put her hands together and looked devout, but what she said made Yimulian couldn't help laughing out.

"What a naughty one." Yimulian stretched out his hand as if he was about to knock a chestnut, with a helpless smile on his face, but his slightly red eyes and trembling hands revealed his truest self. mood.

"In the name of Fengshen, I bless you, my child." Yimulian first reached out and tapped Hayakawa's forehead, and as his fingertips touched the girl's warm skin, a faint fluorescence flashed on the girl's forehead flashed.

Yimulian's hand didn't let go, but tapped in the void again.

"In the name of Fengshen, I bless all those who believe in me, may you be safe and happy, and have a happy life."

The people waiting at the gate of the shrine finally heard the response of Fengshen, followed by a shimmering warm current, gradually spreading from the center of the shrine, ironing everyone on this windy night. A devout and hopeful heart.
