Chapter 250 The promise of the Haruhi Ritual
From the foot of the mountain, the ladder was gradually lifted. At this time, tourists on the road had become rare, but there were many unhappy tourists and believers who were devout to the gods. They and Lu Akifei arrived at the Honku Asama Shrine on Mount Fuji.
Arriving at the shrine, people pass through the vermilion torii. In the impression of Japanese people, Torii represents the division between the eternal world and the gods, so after arriving here, people came to the place where the gods lived.
At the door, there was a beautiful witch lady wearing a witch suit guarding the door of the shrine. There were many colanders placed beside it, filled with the melting water of snow flowing down the mountain, and the melting water flowed into here along the channel formed by bamboo.
This is a sailor ceremony in the shrine. There is usually a saying of purifying one's body when entering the shrine. However, except for clergy like the witch goddess, tourists cannot take a bath at the shrine once a day before coming to worship.
So there is a basic etiquette like sailor etiquette.
Lu Mingfei and Erie washed their hands with the snow melting water on the mountain. The witch girl smiled and handed them two Erie horses. This was a gift from the shrine to visit tourists. Because the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the mountains are high and the temperature is low, few people can stick to this place.
In order to encourage people to actively go up the mountain to worship, the shrine established this subtle little benefit, such as giving away a very basic thing like a painting horse.
Lu Mingfei and Erii came to the shrine with Ema. The shrine was very quiet. Looking up at the top of his head, Lu Mingfei could see a large area of snow and the sky became very clear. Erii stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand, as if she could touch the sky above her head with her hand.
But this was not the case. She wrote it to Lu Mingfei with a little confusion.
"Is it going to take a long time to climb into the sky?"
"Uh...it may take a little time."
Lu Mingfei answered in a difficult situation. He didn't want to destroy the naive idea of Ai Liyi, but this strange idea was indeed unrealistic.
"Can you go up with me?" Huiliyi continued to write.
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth. This girl really wanted to climb to the sky. Not to mention how high the sky is, the more you go up, the thinner the air. The key is that there is no ladder for you to climb up now.
What can you do if you climb to heaven?
Should you stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?
"We'd better visit the shrine and then make wishes and prayers. It is said that there will be a beautiful fireworks party at night. If we climb up, we won't be able to see it. It's a pity." Lu Mingfei became smart.
Sure enough, Hui Liyi nodded obediently with a smile.
In fact, she didn't want to climb into the sky, she just cared about whether Lu Mingfei could be with her.
This boy who truly puts words into action and realizes her dream is the one she loves deeply.
Lu Mingfei's appearance made her, who was accustomed to the darkness, see the dawn of dawn, and fill the boring and cold life with warm sunshine.
"I am very happy with Sakura."
"The same goes for me. If possible, we can stay together." Lu Mingfei took Huilii's hand.
During the time I was with her, I was indeed full of surprises everywhere. Although sometimes the strange problems of Huili Yi would make Lu Mingfei feel speechless, it did not affect Lu Mingfei's feeling that she was a soul that fits her.
The two of them held hands and walked in the shrine. They passed by Torii, the temple, and came to the place where they made their wishes.
The rows of display bars are hung with densely packed horses, and the sizes of the horses are neat and varied, but each piece of painted horses represents a person who has stepped on the stone steps and arrived in this high and cold place. Each piece of painted horse represents a wish.
This is a yearning for a better future, and people will make wishes under the gaze of the gods.
This is a very ritual thing.
The cold wind blew the horse-painted signs hanging on the display bar. The wooden signs collided with each other, making a crisp sound, as if countless wind chimes were playing in the cold wind, and the immortal music from the Gaotian Genshin Impact Kingdom flowed between the horses.
Lu Mingfei came to the display board, and his eyes were filled with wishes.
Some people seek wealth, some people seek children, some people hope that their parents are healthy and their children are happy, some people put on lofty ideals and ambitions, and some people pray to God for a girlfriend...
Lu Mingfei took out the Huima given by the witch lady and looked at Huiliyi. Huiliyi was also looking at herself with a smile. Lu Mingfei picked up the pen on the display bar and thought for a moment.
[I have been walking westward, crossing the dawn line, crossing the sun line, struggling in the broken years of the past, considering love and being loved, my life is dark there, so I stopped until the dawn line passed me, and I realized that you and Dawn came to me, warming me.]
This is what Lu Mingfei thought about for a long time and was once inspired by a geography teacher in high school.
The teacher was vividly revolving around the globe on it, while Lu Mingfei was fantasizing with his chin under the stage.
Natural geography is a very complex discipline, as big as the star universe, small grass and trees, but it is also a very charming thing. Every knowledge point is a love word, isn’t it?
From the Atlantic warm current to the unfreezing port of Murmansk.
From the boundary between morning and evening to night and day.
That line not only divides the cold world into day and night, but gently leaves a diffuse area, allowing people to learn to say goodbye to their past self.
Tell yourself, tell others, tell the world, I am no longer a child.
I'm growing up again.
Lu Mingfei hung the written horse on the display railing. At this time, Painting Liyi was also written. She looked at what Lu Mingfei wrote curiously, but Lu Mingfei wrote too much and obscure, so Painting Liyi couldn't understand.
She is very simple.
【Stay with Sakura, eat the best food, see the best scenery, and sleep in the warmest big bed!】
Lu Mingfei couldn't help laughing, but this is the simplest way to express his wish.
Isn’t love a thing that two people stay together forever, even daily life such as food, food, oil and salt can become very warm.
Lu Mingfei and Huilii hung the Huima together. The two stood in front of Huima for a while, closed their hands and bowed devoutly.
They left here, but the wind did not stop, and it came with the eyes of the gods.
Two painted horses float in the wind, colliding with each other, as if responding to each other's wishes.
After walking through the fork road, the two of them came to the place where they drew divine tags, which was the granting station of the shrine. There were also the Imperial Guard and Peace Talisman, and there were also divine tags to draw. The priest wore a purple hunting robe that symbolized his identity and a tall crown on his head.
"Sir, please ask you to ask for a visa for the fortunes of both of us."
Lu Mingfei devoutly placed a banknote with a denomination of one thousand yuan on the stage of the granting office. The priest nodded, and after receiving the banknote, he placed a sign in front of Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and reached out and took out a wooden sign from it.
He devoutly handed the wooden sign he had obtained to the priest to unify the sign. After the priest settled the sign, he took out a sign corresponding to the number of the sign stick from the sign box.
The priest's expression changed slightly.
Lu Mingfei was also a little nervous, and the priest handed over the letter of the solution to Lu Mingfei.
There is a big red character written on it.
"fierce!"
"This is...fake."
Lu Mingfei caught his face. He thought today was his lucky day, so why did he ask for a bad sign?
[Gathering and dispersion are impermanent, and the fallen leaves are at peace. Flowers bloom on the sun. Life and death are destined, and prosperity and withering will eventually return to the prophet.]
"Don't worry, the meaning of the signature is not evil, but a kind of 'unknown'. God has planned the unknown into the column of 'unknown'. I can turn evil into good fortune for you. This is a pair of matching guards. You wear it on your body. I will help you eliminate evil signs."
The priest walked out of the granting office and tied the evil sign to an ancient tree.
"This is a way to ward off evil spirits, use this method to resolve evil signs and wait for the time to operate."
"Thank you, Lord Priest."
Lu Mingfei took Huiliyi and bowed slightly to the priest. The two of them hung them on their waists with the guards given by the priest. This trip was a perfect return.
At night, the shrine at the foot of the mountain is crowded, and the temperature in the air becomes very low at night, but it cannot eliminate people's interest at all. The girls travel together in kimonos, and there are many snack houses on the roadside.
Lu Mingfei bought Erie a portion of char siu and Kanto cooked rice, and ordered a portion of tempura on his side. The two sat on the shore of Cherry Blossom Lake at the foot of Mount Fuji. The other side of the lake was quiet at this time, and the huge Mount Fuji above his head.
Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi sat by the lake, accompanying the cherry trees. The two of them snuggled up to each other. The cold wind by the lake was cold. Although it was late spring, the temperature difference between day and night was still very large.
Hui Liyi hugged Lu Mingfei, her eyes a little tired, and leaned on Lu Mingfei's shoulder.
"Why haven't started yet?" Lu Mingfei blew a little cold here. If he was not careful, he would get infected with the cold. He looked at Hui Liyi leaning on his shoulder, touched her soft red hair, and said gently: "Are you cold?"
"The cold wind is very cold, but with Sakura here, it's very warm."
After reading the note of Pai Liyi, Lu Mingfei seemed to be much more energetic. He hugged the girl in his arms tightly, leaning against the warmth of each other, and resisting the cold wind like a knife on the other side of the lake.
Lu Mingfei stared at Mount Fuji in the distance in the darkness. During the day, it was majestic and tall, it was a sacred divine realm, and at night it was out of reach, like the cold stars in the sky.
It stands here, an active volcano with high temperatures inside, but the outside world is very cold, and even its body is covered with snow. The cherry blossoms on the other side of the river are its beauty that it cannot reach.
It must be very lonely, and there must be a strong desire in its heart.
Perhaps one day, it will bloom its loneliness and let the world see its brilliance and hot temperature.
Just as Lu Mingfei imagined it, a lonely explosion sounded across the river.
I saw a firework dragging the tail flame rising, and it bloomed alone in the darkness of its temperature and light, like a lonely meteor flying backwards, roaring and flying towards the dark sky, wanting the stars in the sky to see his light and heat.
After a few seconds, the fireworks briefly disappeared in the air, but the next moment, the fireworks that bloomed lit up the entire night sky. It was like a golden chrysanthemum, spreading, and the scattered red glow fell from the sky step by step.
The light it fell lit up the entire night sky, and the darkness became warm and bright.
It even illuminated a corner of Mount Fuji, which became brighter in that moment.
The fireworks falling in the sky began to split and bloom. Just now, they were just monotonous chrysanthemums and red glows. In an instant, the entire sky was filled with colorful sparks. They were like stars swaying in the sky, like gods in the fallen world.
Every fireworks is blooming in great enthusiasm, and the monotonous night has become a fireworks painting board. The fireworks outline their own shapes on the dark curtains and release their temperature, which is so beautiful that people sigh.
The cherry blossoms on the roadside were also lit up by fireworks, as if they were rejuvenating in the second spring, and the pink and delicate colors were extremely gratifying.
The fireworks on earth are the most heart-wrenching.
Hui Liyi opened her delicate lips, and the fireworks reflected in her eyes seemed to become the stars in her eyes. She had never seen such a beautiful scene before. At this time, she really wanted to engrave these scenes in her heart.
She silently grabbed Lu Mingfei's hand and was unwilling to let go.
Behind him, a boy sat on the stone steps and took pictures of the scene of the two sitting under the cherry tree and snuggling up to watch the fireworks.
Looking at the photos in the camera, he smiled.
