Chapter 204 The full moon brings reunion (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Eyelids are twitching wildly.
The ominous premonition became stronger.
The dark clouds in the distance seemed to be about to sweep over and swallow up the bright moon.
Omaeji stood in his tea room, gazing into the distance at the horizon. Even though it was spotless at the moment, he always felt that there were dark clouds brewing there, ready to surge towards him.
After looking for a while, the ominous premonition in the heart of the Grand Priestess became more and more serious.
As I get older, I don’t have the same accurate judgment as when I was young, but sometimes my premonitions are more accurate.
He didn't think that his nightmare last night was just a coincidence, nor did he think that his premonition at this moment was just the result of long-term worry.
Everything has its own destiny.
Daijoji walked out of the tea room, came to the door, called a priest, and asked him to place the custom-made sign he had made some time ago at the entrance at the foot of the mountain.
"Master Palace Master, didn't you say that this sign was just for fun?" the young priest asked curiously.
“Just because you didn’t use it before doesn’t mean you can’t use it now.”
"But such remarks are somewhat inconsistent with our status."
"Oh, identity? This is the identity I want!"
“If someone takes a photo of us and uploads it to the Internet, will it intensify the conflict between us and Buddhism?”
"Are you stupid? Why don't you just find an excuse to cover it up and pretend that you didn't know anything? Is it difficult for you?"
Daijoji reprimanded the young priests again, saying that they were not monks and did not need to abide by the principle of not lying.
If a pot falls, just throw it away.
As long as he doesn't admit it, who can do anything to him?
After the young priest left the warehouse with the wooden sign and went down the mountain, Ojoji lingered there for a while, then felt a little unsafe.
He then called two more people and asked them to guard the entrance to the shrine on the top of the mountain and prohibit any unrelated people from coming to the shrine.
Especially monks, they must not be allowed to pass!
With these two layers of insurance, Ojoji first came to the osmanthus tree and took a quick look.
Very good, our goddess is still sitting quietly on the osmanthus flower, with no sign of going out.
After all, the goddess favors their Tsukimi Shrine.
After confirming this, Ojoji stood guard on the path leading to the osmanthus tree.
There was only one small path passing through here, and the surrounding field of vision was wide, so even if someone really came, they would not be able to hide from his eyes.
As for the back mountain, there is no road at all, only a steep cliff.
Haha, he didn’t believe that the monk could sneak in and take the goddess away.
The ominous premonition in the heart of the Grand Lord of the Palace finally subsided a little.
There was no way. Last night's dream was too real, and it scared him so much that he couldn't fall asleep the whole night.
This forced him to be extremely alert to prevent any possible situation from happening.
If it really happened as in the dream, and the monk came to the osmanthus tree openly and took the goddess away, then I, as the chief priest of Tsukimi Shrine, would be completely derelict in my duty!
On the osmanthus tree, Jingu Yaezakura curiously watched every move of Lord Daijo.
I feel like the Grand Priest Daijo is going to start searching for enemies in the void again tonight.
In some of his occasional phone calls, he often complained to a friend that the flowers he had worked so hard to grow were about to be picked.
He was so stupid. If he didn't want to leave Tsukimi Shrine, who else could take him away?
If you think about it carefully, what if Hiramiya Chiye appeared in front of him like this while being chased by Daijouji.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yaezakura Jingu's eyebrows were curved and there was a smile on the corners of her mouth. She had already seen it.
I saw a bicycle coming from the direction of Weilian Ancient Temple.
Yaezakura Jingu looked up at the moonlight, the tassels of the golden crown on her forehead drooped and swayed gently, her eyes slightly closed.
A ray of spiritual consciousness descended with the moonlight, landing on the bicycle and the moon doll in Pinggong Qianye's pocket.
Noticing the moonlight was falling, Pinggong Chiye slowed down his bicycle, controlled the steering with one hand, and carefully placed the moon doll on his shoulder with the other hand.
The evening breeze blew in and automatically diverted the air on both sides of the bicycle.
The Moon Doll held onto Chiya Hiramiya's collar with one hand, pointed to the mountain in front of it where the Tsukimi Shrine was located, and said with a smile, "The worry of the Omae no Miyaji has come true."
"What is he worried about?"
"He's been worried that you would go up the mountain and take me away."
"I'm just taking you down the mountain. Is that so serious?"
"probably."
The moon doll put its cheek against Chiya Hiramiya's. "Will you give up the idea of taking me down the mountain because you are afraid of angering Omae-no-miyaji?"
"will not."
"Will you give up on me because you are afraid of worldly gossip?"
"No." "Then you will..."
Jingu Yaezakura was interrupted by Hiramiya Chiye before she finished her words, "Okay, stop assuming these questions. I'm serious about taking you down the mountain for a walk."
The Moon Doll nodded, sat on Pinggong Qianye's shoulder, and gently shook her little feet.
The bicycle was not very fast, and it took 20 minutes for Chiya Hiramiya to reach the foot of Tsukimi Shrine.
Pinggong Chiye habitually parked the car aside, locked it carefully, and then walked to the entrance of the mountain road leading to the top of the mountain.
Under the bright moonlight, there was a wooden sign standing at the entrance of the mountain trail.
It is clearly written on it: Monks and dogs are not allowed to go up the mountain!
"..."
Pinggong Chiye was silent for a while, then he laughed and shook his head. Omaeyasu actually used such a trick.
The monk here is obviously used to refer to himself.
It seems that Lord Omasa is strongly opposed to his plan to take Yaezakura Jingu away, and is deeply wary of it.
If I insist on going up the mountain from here, there will definitely be people blocking the way ahead.
The last checkpoint of the road, leading to the Jingu Yaezakura, must be guarded by the Omiya chief himself.
Although he doesn't really want a conflict, he doesn't mind being a little tough if it's unavoidable.
When Pinggong Qianye was about to ignore the wooden sign and force his way up the mountain, Moon Doll leaned over and whispered in Pinggong Qianye's ear, "We can go up quietly from the back of the mountain. They won't be able to find us."
“Is there a road in the back hills?”
"For ordinary people, there is definitely no way."
The voice transmitted through the moon doll by Jingu Yaezakura sounded a little proud.
"Well, let's go then."
Hiramiya Chiye didn't want to alarm others to avoid possible escalation of conflicts. It would be nice to be able to take Jingu Yaezakura away quietly.
The moon doll sat on Pinggong Qianye's shoulder, stretched out its finger to guide Pinggong Qianye forward, walked half a circle around the foot of the mountain, and came to the back mountain with steep cliffs and lush vegetation.
Estimating the height, Pinggong Qianye felt that it would not be difficult to rush to the top of the mountain with his own physical strength.
"Don't bother."
The moon doll floated up and flew to the front. It looked up with a serious expression. Its little hands gently touched the falling moonlight, as if it was weaving the scattered moonlight into a thread.
Soon, a bridge formed by moonlight, flashing silver-white light, appeared in front of Pinggong Qianye.
The moonlight bridge hangs from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, like a silver waterfall hanging upside down between heaven and earth.
At this time, the moon in the sky was round and big, with infinite light, just like the full moon on the 15th day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Pinggong Qianye watched this scene, slightly distracted.
The power of gods is sometimes really magical and can accomplish things that seem full of miracles.
In comparison, my own strength is quite plain and simple, and bricks can fly with great force.
The moon doll flew back and landed on Pinggong Qianye's shoulder, whispering softly: "The next part of the journey will be up to you."
As the words fell, the moon doll lost all its luster and lay quietly on Pinggong Chiye's shoulder.
It took too much of her energy to accomplish the feat before her.
If this place was not close to the Tsukimi Shrine, it would be impossible to accomplish such a feat with just this moon doll.
Hiramiya Chiye put the moon doll on her shoulder back into her pocket, then walked towards the moonlight bridge ahead.
The seemingly illusory bridge paved with moonlight now feels real.
When Pinggong Chiye stepped onto the moonlight bridge with both feet at the same time, the moonlight bridge hanging between the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain began to retract.
Like a rainbow bridge, it is gradually disappearing.
Pinggong Chiye's figure gradually approached the top of the mountain as the moonlight bridge flew by.
When the moonlight bridge completely disappeared, Hiramiya Chiye's feet had already reached the top of the mountain.
Ahead, you just need to pass through the dense forest to reach the osmanthus tree where the Jingu Yaezakura is located.
Although the Moon Doll was already asleep, the figure that was looking at Pinggong Qianye in the moonlight condensed a bright moonlight and turned into an arrow, illuminating the way ahead for Pinggong Qianye and guiding him on the way forward.
The arrow was even a little playful and moved slightly.
Following the guidance of the moonlight arrow, Hiramiya Chiye passed through the dense forest and entered the Tsukimi Shrine.
After just two steps, I saw the tall osmanthus tree.
On the osmanthus tree, there was a graceful figure dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking forward to something.
Tonight, the bright moon rises, hovering behind the head of Jingu Yaezakura, casting pure and flawless moonlight.
At this moment, the moon is full and people are reunited.
PS: The author wishes all readers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family reunion.
