This mask doesn't look like anything special, it's very ordinary, with some paintings on it.
"Take this with you. After entering the torii gate, you will enter the world of the gods. The preferences of the gods are different. We have to go to the shrine to worship the gods first." Huang put on his mask.
"God? He looks pretty good. Do you know anything? Persian cat sauce." Eugen asked Bismarck on the side.
"As for this, it's a bit novel. It looks pretty good. Is it the culture of Chongying? They've already invited us. Let's do as the locals do. It's good to go and have a look." Bismarck thinks it's nothing, and it's good to expand our horizons.
choose.
"Inari God is the god in charge of harvest and hope. It is said that his favorite is fried tofu sushi. The tribute must be made by hand. Only in this way can the god know our sincerity. There will be activities and fireworks display in the evening
, Now we are going to make some Japanese confectionery and snacks." Huang told Eugen about the customs of Chongyakura, but Luan didn't say anything.
Eugen and others also know that it is very disrespectful to the gods to quarrel with their brains during festivals in honor of the gods.
In the iron-blooded festival, there is also the custom of offering sacrifices to the gods. On that day, you must be gentle and pay attention to what you say.
"The festivals are different, and the sacrifices are also different. In summer, it's water cakes, yokan, peony cakes and the like. What I'm going to do today is peach blossoms and fruits. Can you ask your iron-blooded allies to clean the shrine?" Huang Yao is about to start making fruits.
Already.
"Okay! Where!" Bismarck asked.
"In the forests of Shannan, remember to step over the torii gate with respect. Don't let your subordinates do it. According to custom, it is the master of the family who goes to worship." Huang chuckled, which sounded a little bit.
hypocritical.
"Well, you must be careful. The gods will come out today. If you find some strange people, you must know how to avoid suspicion." Luan handed Eugen the tools and reminded Eugen not to collide with the gods.
"Hey! Am I not a girl? Why do you all call me Dad?" Cleveland didn't understand why he called himself that.
Rodney on the side just laughed again and didn't say anything.
"Want to dance together? Miss Hood." Holding a wine glass in his hand, Wales walked to Hood's seat and extended his right hand to invite Hood to dance.
Hood stood up, accepted Wales' invitation, and danced with Wales.
"Be sure to pay attention to the dance steps and don't mess up the steps." Queen Elizabeth held the wine glass in her hand and watched Wales and Hood dance.
"Let's go, it's a little late now." Bismarck urged Eugen and Hipper.
The small colored lights on the steps had already turned on, illuminating the stone steps. Bismarck was walking in front and saw something made of mahogany that looked like a frame.
"It looks like this is it. Let's go there." Bismarck adjusted the position of his military hat, walked into the torii, and saw the shrine in front. There were two stone statues in front of the shrine. The stone statues looked like foxes.
"Is it a fox? Really, is Inari God a fox? Shige Sakura is really interesting, there are quite a lot of foxes." Eugen held a broom in his hand.
"It's good that you know, don't get so close to that red fox recently!" Hipper was a little dissatisfied.
"Stop arguing. After cleaning up, let's go back quickly. I'll clean it up, Eugen, and you get the fried tofu sushi." Bismarck carried the bucket and went to clean the Inari Shrine.
Bismarck was cleaning the Inari Shrine, and Eugen grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it on Hipper.
"Come here, don't run! I want to be well today
I’ll teach you a lesson, I’m not a sister for nothing.” Hipper dusted himself off and ran after Eugen.
"Huh?" Eugen ran to the woods near the shrine and heard the sound of a bell ringing. It was very clear and kept echoing.
"What are you doing? Is this Jin Ling's voice? It can't be the legendary moonlit night carriage." Hipper thought of the legend of Iron Blood.
"No, it can't be. If you're scared first, don't think too much about it." Eugen felt that it couldn't be a ghost carriage. The ghost carriage is an iron-blooded legend. It says that at night, the devil of the night will drive
Driving a carriage, there will be an oil lamp and a bell hung on the carriage. Anyone who hears the bell will eventually be captured and eaten by the devil.
The ringtone slowly came closer. It was a very clear ringtone, and it was accompanied by the sound of shaking leaves. Bismarck did not notice it. While he was seriously visiting the shrine, a mist appeared in the dark night, and he walked slowly through the mist.
The team of people walked very quietly, without the sound of footsteps. Accompanied by the ringing of bells, they walked closer and closer. Soon, they walked in front of Eugen and Hipper. The people walking in front were wearing white, blue, and
A kimono painted with golden colors, a bunch of bells hung on the waist, and several golden ears of wheat. She also held a Jin Ling in her hand, with golden hair and a mask. Several foxes stood quietly at her feet.
Looking at Eugen motionlessly,
Hipper immediately protected Eugen behind him, "What do you want to do?"
"Is this sushi with fried tofu? Thank you, I will accept this thing. I am Inari God, and I have felt your thoughts. God will bless you." With that, Inari God said.
He bent down and picked up a piece of sushi in the box and fed it to the foxes at his feet. "You are quite brave." God Inari put the wheat ears hanging on his waist in the box of fried tofu sushi.
Here, because gods cannot directly contact people.
"Eugen! Hipper! You can go back!" Bismarck has finished cleaning.
"Okay." Hipper picked up the box and followed Bismarck back. When he went back, Huang and Luan had already made snacks and sacrifices. The snacks looked very exquisite and colorful.
"These are dumplings. The fruits are all raw, but they are also edible. You have worked hard, so you can have a taste first. According to your taste, we have made a salty version." Huang invited Bismarck Eugen and Hipper to taste it.
dessert.
After finishing the meal, the activities had begun and the bells were ringing.
"Let's go. It's time. Can you change your clothes? You have to wear festive clothes to participate in the festival today." Huang handed a box to Bismarck, which contained a set of festive clothes with heavy cherry blossoms inside.
"Sorry, wait a moment." Bismarck took the box and went back to change clothes.
"Okay, let's go." Huang said, taking the sacrifices and invitations, Bismarck and Eugen went to the shrine to pray. The mountains in the distance were brightly lit, fireworks bloomed in the sky, and the streets were very lively. Bismarck watched
Scene on the street.
"Today, we are going to worship the Inari God, praying for a good harvest and driving away disasters. If it is the equinox, there will also be equinox sacrifices. Let's go." Huang held the box very carefully, and accompanied by the sound of the bell,
Many people are walking towards Inari Shrine.
"Please give way," Huang reminded those gathered in front of the shrine. Huang and Lian placed the sacrifices in the shrine and lit tribute incense. Everyone present was very quiet and expressed their gratitude to the gods.
With his own wish, Eugen could see the figure of the Inari God through the smoke, the Jin Ling shaking in his hand, with wheat ears hanging on his body, wearing a monk's uniform, and several foxes lying quietly at his feet.
"Are they all foxes?" Eugen saw Luan in front of him, with an evil smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and neatly pulled off a bunch of hair on Luan's tail. Luan turned back sharply and looked at Eugen fiercely.
Gen pointed at the shrine, and Luan also vaguely saw the rice in the smoke.
The god didn't say anything. The sacrifice was over. According to custom, one should write one's wishes on a wooden sign and hang it in front of the shrine. After the prayers were over, the crowd gradually left the shrine, knowing that everyone else was
After leaving, Bismarck put up the sign, which read simply: I hope everything is well with you far away.
Eugen didn't know what he was scribbling, since he couldn't understand it anyway.
"What are you writing?" Hipper couldn't understand the wishing card Eugen drew.
"Okay, let's go back." After Bismarck walked out of the torii gate, he put on his military hat. After going back, Luan saw Eugen, his temper got to the head, and he loudly reprimanded Eugen: "What are you doing today! Can you?
Don't touch me."
"What happened? Okay, don't worry about it. If you want to fight, you can talk about it tomorrow. No fighting is allowed today." Huang was pouring wine into the cup, which was plum wine.
household tradition.
"When I was worshiping Inari God, that guy pulled the hair on my tail. However, I seem to have seen Inari God today. He is indeed a very gentle god."
"I'll let you go today." Luan didn't say anything for Huang's sake.
Bismarck took off his military cap and placed it carefully by his legs.
"I never thought that the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck would have such a deep love for his military cap and uniform." Huang looked at the iron-blooded Iron Cross badge on Bismarck's military uniform, which looked very dazzling under the light.
"Thank you very much for your invitation. Although it is a festive moment, now is not the time for the last drink. I am very sorry." Bismarck did not touch the glass, Bismarck did not drink, and Eugen naturally did not move either. The time was already halfway, and Bismarck estimated that the time was
about there.
"It's getting late, let's go back first. Don't forget the strategic plan in a few days." Bismarck put on his military cap, stood up, and knelt for a long time. Bismarck felt a little numb in his legs and feet.
"Strategic plan? What is that? I heard before that you lost a duel to Azur Lane Royal Wales. Is this your strategic intention? Where is York City?" Huang changed his tone and eyes in an instant.
, and placed his right hand on Luan's chest.
"You asked me where York City is. It seems you asked the wrong person! Well, let's talk about it then." Bismarck took Eugen and Hipper back.
"Really, I can't stand the painting style of these foxes, my head hurts." Hipper was on the boat, drinking a swig of iron-blooded beer. "Our beer is still delicious." Eugen also opened a can of beer,
He drank heavily and threw a can to Bismarck. Bismarck looked at the moonlight on the sea and drank the beer in small sips.
Heavy fog suddenly appeared on the sea, affecting the view.
"Stop sailing! Put down the anchor and guard the surrounding area." Bismarck immediately ordered the fleet to stop and sail, and thick fog instantly enveloped the entire sea.
"Where did the fog come from?" Hipper could only see the vague lights on the ship.
The dance has come to an end, and it is already late at night. Looking at the somewhat terrible venue, Belfast is leading the maid group to clean up the mess, and companies are also helping to clean up.
"Now I'm going out to take a look and patrol the nearby sea area. Glory, Warpity, Hood, I'll leave it to you if you remember." Wales planned to go out and take a look.
"Can you do it by yourself? How about I go with you." Guanghui was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Wales, just leave it to me and Hood. You have to pay attention and be careful and safe." War-weary reminded Wales to pay attention to safety.
"This is our royal gem. It is said to bring luck. Take it with you. I order you to come back well." Queen Elizabeth said in a commanding tone and took out the royal emblem inlaid with blue diamonds.
