Why is the Demon King Like This Main Text Volume Chapter 71: Ozawa's Dream Hoshino Fujiko walked to the torii gate. This torii gate has been well preserved by the villagers of Ozawa Village and will be renovated every few years.
The shrine rope is swaying slightly in the wind, and walking through the area separated by the rope symbolizes entering the realm of the shrine.
The steps connected by bluestones extend all the way to the hillside, and are finally covered by the forest.
Standing at the ruins of Ozawa Village at that time, I could not feel the humanistic care and delicacy at all.
"Gu——"
"Gu——"
In the afternoon in the mountain forest, there are dense shadows among the trees, and birds are flying through them, making melodious calls.
Fujiko Hoshino walked into Shinto with a little calmness. She was not eager to hear Keisuke Aoi's answer because she already had a chance to win.
"Instead of insisting on this old-fashioned tone, you might as well think about how you can beg for mercy from me after you lose the bet."
"What is instinct?" Hoshino raised his eyes.
There is no doubt that the probability of the bet chosen by Aoi Keisuke is much lower than that of Hoshino's choice.
But it also means that he has chosen a completely different direction.
Hoshino Fujiko pondered for half a minute and then asked: "How to judge the result in the end?"
She sneered: "Do you think you still have any 'credibility'?"
The two people argued with each other, compromised, and finally reaffirmed the criteria for judging——
The result of the witness must be confirmed by both parties. If Fujiko Hoshino cannot "see" it, Keisuke Aoi needs to provide corresponding help.
At this time, the girl had finally reached the end of the stairs.
The two separate sides turned into two stone statues with deer heads and bodies. If it weren't for the fresh air in the mountain forest, Hoshino would have thought that he had returned to the underground again, and the huge shrine leading to Red Deer was ahead.
But in fact, what appears behind the tree shadow is a very ordinary mountain shrine.
The structure of Toyatsu Shrine is similar to that of most shrines. The thick roof tiles are buckled on the wooden beams like hats. The only special thing is that there are many half-meter-high three-dimensional animal wood carvings carved under the beams.
The wooden carvings are square and square, surrounding the shrine. The images of animals are lifelike, with different expressions, including monkeys, deer, and mountain birds. Each of them has been painted by famous artists, making it look very delicate.
On both sides of the worship hall are warehouses and houses where the Kurosawa family lived. They are two stories high, plus a half-story attic with a sloping roof.
The architectural style is symmetrical and regular, and looks very harmonious.
There were rows of birds standing under the eaves, tilting their heads and chirping.
Toyotsu Shrine does not feel eerie to Hoshino Fujiko, but even seems quiet and peaceful.
"Xiao Xun?"
Nobu Kurosawa, dressed in clerical attire, walked out of the side door: "Are you okay?"
The reason why Ozawa Kaoru ran away from home late at night has not spread to the village, so Kurosawa Nobu's expression is still very normal, but he is pretending to be strong after his grandfather disappeared.
The Kurosawa family has always been presided over by his grandfather Shiichiro Kurosawa. Kurosawa Nobu's father did not have the talent to serve the gods. It was not until Kurosawa Nobu was born that his father was "forgiven" and started his own life - and now he has become
A skilled carpenter, most of the wood carvings on the beams of the shrine were made by him.
Nowadays, Nobu Kurosawa is the son of God of Toyotsu Shrine generation.
Hoshino Fujiko nodded lightly.
"I wanted to visit you at noon. Your mother also said that you were frightened and needed to rest." Nobu Kurosawa made an ugly smile, "Don't be so reckless in the future."
"Well, my mother asked me to come over and pay my respects to the great god Fengjin."
"It turns out that Toyojin God must also be protecting you at night."
"Thanks."
Hoshino paused for a moment and then said: "He will also bless the old god."
"Um."
Hoshino walked to the worship hall alone, threw a 5-face coin into the incense cash box, clasped his hands twice, and scanned the front of the worship hall with keen eyes. 33
There are two pillars standing on both sides of the place of worship, and a very thick rope is hung on them. The rope has turned dark brown.
Note that under the rope, there is a pair of copper bells used for worship and worship. When you pull the rope, it will shake.
Inside the worship hall is a high platform for worship, which looks like a shrunken worship hall. The doors are tightly closed on the small steps.
"Have you found any clues?" Hoshino asked.
Qing Keisuke replied:
In this dream without the incarnation of Toyojin God, this goal is undoubtedly the ultimate and hidden level, but it is definitely worth trying.
"How to do it?"
"..."
Hoshino rang the bell on his own, seemingly trying to drive Aoi Keisuke's useless nonsense out of his head.
"Ding bell... clang..."
The sound emitted by the thin shell is not crisp, but it is enough to "remind" the gods to listen to the wishes of believers.
Hoshino looked up at the little ball beating inside, without making a wish.
"It's really surprising that I've learned so much about my tongue."
Qing Keisuke laughed happily.
When leaving, Nobu Kurosawa walked out of the room again. He invited Hoshino to come in to rest and drink tea.
"Everyone in the family has gone to the mountains to look for grandpa, and I am the only one left. How about you come and talk to me?"
If it had been the original Ozawa Kaoru, he would have agreed without hesitation, but Hoshino Fujiko had no interest in him, and even Aoi Keisuke didn't give any more reminders - which shows that he is by no means a key figure.
So she just shook her head calmly: "Sorry, I want to go back and rest."
"Ah, ah! That's right!"
Kurosawa Nobu patted his head and said distressedly: "My head is also stupid...then just accept this."
He took out a Toyatsu Shrine guard from his pocket and put it into Hoshino Fujiko's hand.
"Toyojin God will bless you."
"Thanks."
Hoshino accepted this handmade guard, with the word "Toyotsu" sewn on it with needle and thread, and a circle of light green lace.
"Thank you." She thanked "Xun Ozawa" again.
She suddenly had a clearer understanding of this person.
After closing off her ability to listen to her heart, she also began to gradually understand the tricks of others.
In other words, empathy.
"Go slowly. I will go over with my mother to visit you later."
