Zhen took out a clean tissue and spread it on the ground. She slowly knelt down in front of the Jizo statue, closed her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and muttered something silently, looking pious and sincere.
After the true prayer, it was Noda Shou's turn. Noda Shou also imitated the true posture, kneeling in front of the Ksitigarbha statue, clasping his hands together and closing his eyes to make a wish... This guy knelt for a particularly long time, probably
I was so greedy that I took the opportunity to make several wishes at once.
The next one was Eriyi. Lu Mingfei thought that Eriyi would be in a hurry, but he didn’t expect Eriyi to pray in a decent manner. It took longer than Noda Kotobuki to pray for Eriyi. I don’t know because he prayed too much in one breath.
She suddenly got distracted when she was making a wish...Eli Yi often got distracted. Sometimes Lu Mingfei took her out to play, and when she saw beautiful scenery or encountered something similar to the anime and TV series she had watched, she became distracted.
Her mind wanders. I wonder if the image of Eri in front of the Ksitigarbha statue reminds me of certain plots in "Natsume's Book of Friends" or other anime. She has her eyes closed and has no expression on her face. She looks very involved.
Lu Mingfei raised his head and glanced at the sky. The moon had already risen. It was now a season in Japan when the harsh winter was still warm and spring was coming. It got dark quite early. Lu Mingfei calculated the time and found that the last train going down the mountain was probably around
After driving away in five minutes, even if they pedaled down the mountain at full speed through the "Sakura Village", they would not be able to catch up, unless their bicycles were equipped with a complete set of nitrogen acceleration devices.
However, Lu Mingfei didn't seem to be in a hurry, so he didn't rush anyone.
A few minutes later, Eliyi stood up. Lu Mingfei took the initiative to step forward and help Eiliyi pat the dirt on her skirt. Lu Mingfei asked curiously: "Eriyi has been using it for so long and has many wishes.
What do you want to say?"
"Three." Eriyi nodded.
"Three?" Lu Mingfei's heart moved, "What wish did Huiliyi make?"
"Mr. Lu Mingfei," Zhen reminded in a low voice, "only Ksitigarbha and yourself can know the wishes you make to Ksitigarbha. If you tell others, your wishes will not come true!"
"Oh." Lu Mingfei nodded, thinking that this was just like a birthday wish.
When Lu Mingfei was a child, he asked his mother why his birthday wishes didn't come true. At that time, Qiao Weini touched Lu Mingfei's head and said, because in the final analysis, wishes are just her own obsessions. When she tells others about her obsessions,
Sometimes, others will express support, encouragement and appreciation for your wishes in order to cater to you. These attitudes will construct a "social reality" in your mind and even affect your brain to create the illusion that your wishes have been realized. At the same time, you
You will get a sense of substitute satisfaction in your heart. When you think that the goal has almost come true, you will lose the motivation to really achieve the goal... The explanation given by Qiao Weini was too philosophical. At that time,
Lu Mingfei only seemed to understand. He originally thought that his mother would tell him that making wishes was a trick to trick children. In Lu Mingfei's impression, his mother, Qiao Weini, had always been such a nervous person.
"Brother, big brother." Noda Hisashi's voice woke Lu Mingfei from his memories, "It's your turn to pray."
"I won't use it." Lu Mingfei declined subconsciously.
"It won't be too troublesome, Mr. Lu Mingfei. This is a rare opportunity. As long as you are sincere enough, the gods hidden in the mountains are sometimes very effective." Zhen Zhen whispered to Lu Mingfei, "If you don't have any wishes,
If so, you can also make a wish for the person you care about. Ksitigarbha has no way of fulfilling the wish, and we have already paid tribute in advance."
Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, looked at Hui Liyi again, and nodded: "Okay."
"Oh, by the way," before praying, Lu Mingfei seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He turned to Zhen and asked, "Generally speaking, how many wishes is more appropriate for one person?"
"Well... grandma didn't tell me, and there doesn't seem to be a clear rule about this." Zhen said with some uncertainty, "But you shouldn't make too many wishes at once, otherwise being too greedy will appear to be insincere, but I heard
Ksitigarbha’s divine power is limited, and if you make a wish that exceeds Ksitigarbha’s divine power, your wish will probably come true.”
"I understand." Lu Mingfei nodded.
He really didn't have much to wish for. He killed his old enemy and was with Eriki. Everyone survived. Everything was perfect. He just hoped that his parents could see Eriki and spend more time together in the future.
Life... But Lu Mingfei knew that his parents were also very busy, and he did not want to interfere with his parents' work and responsibilities because of his own ideas.
So Lu Mingfei originally wanted to make a wish for his senior brother to find his father soon, but he also said that Ksitigarbha God's power is limited... He also wanted to make a wish to the little Japanese god to help Chu Zihang kill Ao
Ding? Even if there is really a god who can fulfill other people's wishes hidden in the Shijizang Temple, the god who receives this wish will not be able to help but curse the person who makes the wish. He must be a lunatic, right?
The process of Lu Mingfei's prayer was very brief. Compared with Eriki and Noda Hisashi, it was even rushed. The whole process took less than half a minute. The wish he made was also concise and clear. He only wished for what he cared about.
People's future lives can be safe and smooth.
Lu Mingfei patted the dust on his body. He raised his head and looked at the sky again. The sun had completely set, and stars like the Milky Way hung upside down in the black sky... Lu Mingfei looked up for the third time in ten minutes.
Oh my God, he was actually wearing a timepiece on his hand, so Lu Mingfei's actions when he raised his head to look at the sky were not like observing time through the sky, but more like expecting something to fall from the sky.
"During the day, Noda Hisashi said that you guys had just arrived in Izu from Tokyo, so you shouldn't be going back to Tokyo right away, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at Zhen and Noda Hisashi and asked, "Where are you going to go next?"
"I booked a hotel in Izu City, and I plan to go to Sagami Bay with Kazuma to see the sea in the evening, and then find something to eat nearby. I heard that Atami's sea bream and squid are very famous." Hisashi Noda asked Lu Mingfei
, "Brother, where are you?"
"We also live in Atami. I booked a hot spring hotel in advance, right in Sagami Bay. Atami's hot springs are very famous." Lu Mingfei said, "I originally planned to have dinner at the hotel's restaurant. If Eri doesn't feel too good,
If she likes dinner, I will accompany her to go shopping on the streets to see if there are any local specialties."
"As expected of you, I have seen hot spring hotels before coming here, but because of the tourist boom, rooms are scarce and the remaining units are too expensive." Noda Hisashi's eyes were full of envy, "But we should
We live not far away, so we can go shopping together at night!”
"Shou, Mr. Lu Mingfei finally took Miss Eriyi out for a trip, we can't disturb them anymore!" Zhen pulled Noda Shou's sleeves and whispered in a low voice.
"It's not too disturbing. I had a lot of fun today. The scenery is beautiful. I also met the Jizo statue in the mountains. It will become an unforgettable experience. We can also meet it in places other than Tokyo. I think we are very destined."
Lu Mingfei turned to look at Hui Liyi, "Hui Liyi thinks so too, right?"
Eriyi nodded.
"Since the destination is the same, there is no need to separate immediately. Eriki and I will leave Izu tomorrow, and the rest of the trip should be different." Lu Mingfei suggested, "Otherwise, you can come and stay at the hot spring tonight too.
The hotel has a private hot spring bath in the room. You can also see the sky and sea from the hot spring area. It is said that the scenery of Sagami Bay at night is great. "
Zhen and Noda Shou looked at each other, then turned back to Lu Mingfei and said: "Mr. Lu Mingfei, Shou and I are very happy. It is a very pleasant experience to get along with Mr. Lu Mingfei and Miss Eriki. If it doesn't disturb you
You, Shou and I also want to stay with you, but I only have half of my salary left, and Shou's career has just started. This time Shou and I don't have such a high budget for going out, and the hot spring hotel is too expensive for us.
Already."
Zhen declined Lu Mingfei's suggestion, but there was no unnatural emotion on Zhen's face at all, because she knew that she, Noda Shou, Lu Mingfei, and Eriki were not from the same world.
It's just a coincidence that several people became friends.
I really won’t be jealous or ashamed of myself because of Eri Yi’s status, nor will I want to cling to him or dislike Noda Hisashi because of Lu Mingfei’s generosity. Apart from being polite, this girl is generous from beginning to end...
...Although she is not a rich person, it is not wrong to be poor, and it is not wrong to be friends with big people like Lu Mingfei and Eri Yi. No one in this world stipulates that poor people must be in embarrassment. This is true.
What her grandma once told her.
"No, I mean, you don't have to worry about the cost of accommodation. I will book an extra room at the hotel tonight." Lu Mingfei added, "Of course it's a two-bedroom. Of course, you guys decide to stay in the same room or separate rooms tonight.
It's not my responsibility to care about the room and sleep, as well as today's dinner. I asked you about your upcoming itinerary. I originally planned to treat you to a meal tonight."
"How is this possible!" Zhen shook his head quickly, "I am very grateful for Mr. Lu Mingfei's kindness, but this is so embarrassing. I am very happy that Shou and I did not disturb you and Miss Eriki's schedule, but we shouldn't
This troubles you."
Hisashi Noda's face changed drastically. They were so carried away with their fun that they didn't pay attention to the time. After the last bus left, they had almost no means of transportation to go down the mountain. There might be a hotel available on Mount Omuro, but judging from the number of tourists on the mountain today,
The hotels were probably full, and no one wanted to stay in the dark forest, but there was no way they could hike to the Izu Plateau.
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Zhen Zhen's face turned pale, but he still apologized to Lu Mingfei and the others.
"It's not Miss Zhen's fault. I took you up the mountain on my own initiative. It's my fault if you missed the last bus." Lu Mingfei comforted, "Don't worry, I have a way to get down the mountain. I'll contact you when I get up the mountain."
alright."
"I know that brother is always so reliable!" Noda Shou heard Lu Mingfei's words, and his gloomy mood was swept away. "Has brother made an appointment for a special car? Or is it a hidden last bus or something?"
"Do you dare to be more imaginative? It should be almost time." Lu Mingfei looked at his watch and pointed his finger to the sky, "We will probably leave from there."
Zhen and Noda Shou looked up in the direction of Lu Mingfei's finger. It was difficult to see anything except stars and clouds in the sky obscured by the woods. A few seconds later, the sound of roaring propellers filled the mountains.
"Could it be..." Noda Shou looked at something like a blackbird flying overhead, his mouth wide open in disbelief.
