The scenery in Nara is also very beautiful in the evening. Unlike the city center where there are electric lights everywhere, most of the light sources come from the firelight emitted from the square knots of white paper in each house, just like Kongming lanterns.
People were coming and going on the bright street. Although there were many people, it was not as noisy as the environment during the day. Instead, it seemed a bit quiet. People talked softly, turning the noisy place during the day into a peaceful atmosphere.
The four of them, Chu Xiaotian, were walking in the market. Because the atmosphere was very nice, even if they didn't buy anything, just strolling around was quite interesting.
However, the only ones who didn't buy anything were Chu Xiaotian and Fumio Kimura.
The other two...
"Give me ten skewers of this!"
"Please pack me two portions of this cake!"
Ishida Dahei and Himeno Suzu are really good at eating, so their dinner can be considered settled.
Chu Xiaotian looked at the girl carrying a bag of food and asked with a smile: "Are you a big eater?"
Hearing this, Ji Yeling looked at the bag she was carrying in confusion, and she said innocently: "I didn't eat much."
"That's your illusion."
Chu Xiaotian reached out and took out a skewer from the bag, and then ate it himself.
Seeing this, the kitten became furious and shouted: "Hey! That's mine!"
Chu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The nine strings are yours, give this one to me, don't be so stingy."
"You scoundrel!"
"uh-huh?"
Ji Yeling was dumbfounded by this scoundrel look, and she snorted twice in the end and didn't care.
Then out of the ten skewers, Chu Xiaotian ate five skewers, which made a certain cat very angry.
At this moment, there was an unknown activity, and a crowd of people suddenly came.
"Huh!?"
Ji Yeling was suddenly squeezed in, but she didn't react while eating skewers. She was startled, and then she was about to be squeezed out.
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
The two of them were swept aside together.
"what's the situation?"
Chu Xiaotian looked at the crowd in confusion.
"Hey, that..."
"Um?"
Chu Xiaotian turned around and then noticed that he was still holding the girl's hand. He let go and said, "Be careful, I won't look for you if you get lost later."
"Humph, of course I know!"
Ji Yeling held her wrist, then snorted and turned away.
At this time, Chu Xiaotian asked: "Would you like to go and take a look? It feels like it's quite lively over there."
He also became interested in what activities there were. With so many people passing by, it should be quite interesting.
Himeno Suzu looked at the direction in which the crowds of people were going and said, "They are probably all going to see the Inagaki family's divine son."
"The Inagaki family?"
Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian also looked at the girl and asked, "Do you know her?"
Himeno Suzu said: "The Inagaki family is currently one of the most powerful families. On the surface, it is a shrine, but the Inagaki family owns shares in most of Nara's industries."
Since Himeno Suzu said that, then it must be a ghost-slaying family.
"It turns out there is a family here." Chu Xiaotian looked at the mountain with interest, and could vaguely see the shrine.
When it comes to shrines, Chu Xiaotian can't help but think of the cow beast gods in the shrine in Arakawa.
Does the Inagaki family have such a existence?
Chu Xiaotian was a little curious about this.
Chu Xiaotian said: "Go and have a look."
Hearing this, Ji Yeling also hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay."
So the two of them walked together and followed the crowd.
As for Ishida Dahei and Kimura Fumu, they couldn't find Chu Xiaotian and Himeno Suzu at all, but they thought they wouldn't get lost since they were such big people, so they followed the crowd.
In front of the shrine on the mountain, there were many shrine maidens lined up neatly, and two figures walked out from the middle, one male and one female, both of the same age, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Wearing two styles of clothing, black and white, this scene looks like a newlywed couple in the eyes of those who don't understand.
"Is this an engagement?"
Chu Xiaotian asked, after all, the other party was not old enough to get married.
Ji Yeling glanced at her and said: "Those two are siblings, and they are engaged to be married to someone of your age."
"Siblings?"
Chu Xiaotian looked at the two handsome and talented people again, and nodded slightly after looking at them carefully: "There are indeed some similarities, maybe they are really siblings."
Ji Yeling sighed: "Nonsense, then they are siblings!"
So Chu Xiaotian asked: "Do you know each other?"
Ji Yeling glanced at the young man over there and said flatly: "I only know one guy. I don't know the younger brother over there."
Chu Xiaotian noticed Ji Yeling's gaze. He was thoughtful. He seemed to know them all, but he didn't have a good relationship with the young man over there.
Chu Xiaotian asked curiously: "What are they doing now?"
Himeno Suzu explained: "At this time every year, the Inagaki family's divine son will come out to bless the land of Nara. Anyway, it is such a ceremony."
The ceremony ended with singing and dancing, which was very much like a shrine.
So in this shrine...
Chu Xiaotian's eyes scanned the surroundings. He originally wanted to open his spiritual sense to check if there was anything similar to an ox-like beast.
If the concentration of spiritual power is higher than that of this world, other ordinary ghost slayers will not be aware of his spiritual perception, except for Himeno Suzu who has begun to concentrate his spiritual power.
But in the end, Chu Xiaotian gave up. After all, there was no guarantee that there would be someone as sensitive to spiritual power as Fujino Miyuki in the Inagaki family. It would be quite troublesome if he offended someone.
After a long time, the two sons of gods returned to the shrine.
At this time, two young shrine maidens came to Chu Xiaotian and Ji Yeling.
"Ms. Himeno."
The two of them bowed slightly and bowed to Ji Yeling.
Apparently Himeno Suzu had been noticed after arriving here.
Chu Xiaotian's eyes scanned the backs of several houses.
Ji Yeling said: "I just came to take a look."
The two witches nodded, and then said: "Miss Xiaoya would like to invite you to reminisce about the past."
Hearing this, Ji Yeling asked: "Where is that guy?"
The miko obviously knew who Himeno Suzu was referring to.
"Master Yu is here too."
Hearing this, Ji Yeling hesitated for a while, and finally curled his lips and said: "Forget it, just think of him as air."
Chu Xiaotian said: "Then I will go back to the hotel first."
Ji Yeling looked back at him, and before she could say anything, a miko spoke first.
"Is this Mr. Chu Xiaotian?"
Chu Xiaotian was slightly startled, but he was not very surprised. He nodded slightly: "It's me."
The fact that he had been a guest at Himeno's house was obviously widely known in the hidden world.
The miko bowed slightly and said, "If you can, you might as well come to our shrine as a guest like Miss Himeno."
So Chu Xiaotian thought for a moment. He had no idea about the Inagaki family, but he cared about the shrine itself, so he agreed.
