Infinite Journey From Hogwarts

Chapter 133 Obon Festival

The Yulan Basin Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival and Ghost Festival, is a festival opposite to the Lantern Festival and Shangyuan Festival celebrated by ordinary people.

In Neon, because of the prevalent legends of ghosts here, the Ghost Festival is also a major festival second only to the New Year.

On this day, hundreds of ghosts walk at night, enjoy incense, and there are no taboos.

"Heiye, I heard that there will be a grand temple fair in Edogawa tonight. I haven't been to the temple fair yet."

On the conference table, Wanzi directly expressed his thoughts regardless of Lao Hei's gloomy face that dripped water.

"I reminded you." Old Hei slapped the table heavily, "The ghost festival in this world is extremely dangerous for superhumans."

"Hundred ghosts will not attack ordinary people when enjoying incense, but extraordinary people are not included, so the Ghost Festival here is a taboo for extraordinary people."

"Because this day is the day of the contract reached between the gods and the demons, the gods allow the demons to enjoy incense on this day, so even the gods in charge of protection will not come out to patrol Tokyo on this day, and the whole Tokyo has no taboos."

"It sounds interesting, isn't it, Heiye." Wanzi said with her head tilted.

After getting along for a period of time, everyone has realized that Wanzi is really cute, so they lean on Lao Hei.

"If you want to kill yourself, I can't control it." Old Hei left angrily.

This sentence seems to have been heard before, Wanzi thought, and finally the desire for a grand temple fair occupied all the brain cells.

"Today we form a team to go to the Obon Festival, who will join the team." Wanzi raised his right hand high.

Cedric said with a smile, "Hundred Ghosts of the Night, I really want to see it."

Because of the contract between the gods and the demons, no matter how powerful his god avatar is, he will be confined to his sanctuary tonight and cannot travel until dawn.

And if you don't know about the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts, how can you know what they are planning?

Seeing Cedric nodding, Mo Mo immediately said, "Then tonight's activities, count me and the army assassin."

"I announce that our Mengxin Adventure Group is officially established." Maruko said happily, the only person excluded was the leader of the adventure group.

In the ancient Obon Festival, many neon people actually spent it at home, because after dark, hundreds of ghosts are raging, and only under the blessing of the ancestors' heroic spirits can they pass it safely.

However, as the gods and demons reached a contract, on the day of Hungry Ghost Festival, demons were not allowed to harm mortals for no reason. Gradually, the people of Nihong began to go out of their homes to celebrate this festival.

The most important ceremony of the Hungry Ghost Festival is the release of river lanterns.

In the theory of yin and yang, land is yang, water is yin, and the river is dark at night, as if it leads directly to the underworld.

Therefore, the river lantern can follow the waterway to the ancient country of Huangquan, and at that time, the power of the wish on the river lantern will be turned into food for the hungry ghosts in the ancient country of Huangquan, so as to prevent them from causing harm to the world.

Corresponding to it are the sky lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival. The sky lanterns can go straight to [Gaotianyuan]. People use them to pray for good weather and good luck in everything.

"Wanzi, it's not good to wear it like this." Even Mo Mo couldn't help complaining.

Maruko is wearing a koi-patterned bathrobe, a beautiful silver bell headdress on her hand, and a red string tied to her left hand.

"How come? Don't all anime dress like this?" Maruko said doubtfully.

"First of all, bathrobes are not conducive to possible battles. Second, whether it is a silver bell or a red rope, they are all things that attract ghosts."

Ink explained to Maruko.

Maruko nodded half understanding, "I can fight in a yukata."

After speaking, she unbuttoned her bathrobe, and there was a tactical short suit inside.

Sure enough, girls with clothes look much better than girls without clothes. This is an experience summed up by a real gentleman.

"It's okay, you will protect us anyway." Cedric said with a smile.

Maruko nodded fiercely.

Ink: This sentence seems to have reversed the subject and the verb, boss?

But since Hei Ye had said so, he had nothing to object to, and waved his hands resignedly, "I'll go drive."

By the time Cedric and the others arrived at Edogawa, the sky had already darkened.

Temple fairs were organized in an orderly manner on the slopes on both sides of the Edogawa River.

In this era where money is paramount, capitalists will not let go of any opportunity to pluck wool, even if it is from ghosts and gods.

After parking the vehicle in a nearby parking lot, Maruko excitedly pulled a few people into the temple fair.

Among them, the retro brazier dance and acrobatic performances are still very interesting.

"Look, Hei Ye picked up another one!" Mo Mo and the others held more than a dozen brightly colored goldfish in their hands, all of which were the largest and most beautiful in the booth.

Fishing for goldfish is an indispensable activity in temple fairs. As long as the paper net in hand is not broken, it can be fished indefinitely.

Hearing the prayer from the boss opposite, Cedric decided to fulfill his priesthood.

"Let's go and put the river lanterns on."

Maruko hesitated when she heard Cedric's proposal, but the river lanterns floating on the river obviously attracted her attention.

"Okay!" Maruko nodded.

There is a custom in this world to release river lanterns. If there is a bridge, the river lanterns can be placed upstream of the bridge.

Because the bridge is the boundary, crossing the bridge is crossing the boundary, walking on the waterway, crossing the boundary means going from the yang world to the underworld.

Many people have lined up to put down the river lanterns on the water.

It is hoped that their vows can be turned into incense to enshrine those relatives who are suffering in Huangquan.

But this year's river lanterns are quite different. There is a small paper crane sitting on each river lantern.

The priests of [Thousand Cranes Shine Your Life] declared that the Thousand Crane God has the power of [salvation], and the thousand paper cranes representing him can turn into the light of salvation in the underworld, helping the suffering hungry ghosts pull out their sins and reincarnate as soon as possible .

Cedric personally put down a small boat with a thousand paper cranes leading the way. When the twilight of the boat crossed the Edogawa Bridge along the river, Cedric clearly felt the magic imprint left by him and entered another world. .

Nine winding trails, eerie and unspeakable darkness, boundless suffering and sin, the soul that has howled forever.

In Cedric's view, the underworld of this world is out of balance. It is not a place of reincarnation like Dongtu, but a place of infinity like hell.

What is the reason? Could it be because of the loss of [Words of the Underworld]?

It shouldn't be, [Words of the Underworld] But it has been lost for half a year, with Iyenami sitting in charge, how could it be possible for the underworld to be out of balance so quickly?

The young Cedric felt more in his own temple with the help of countless river lamps.

The evil spirits in the entire ancient country of Huangquan are like crazy, attacking each other and sharing food. Maybe this is a ritual?

Cedric thought that according to the legend, Iyanagi used the "Thousand Guiding Stones" to prevent Iyenami from entering "Ashihara China". After so many years, Iyenami may not have thought of a solution.

Use the countless evil spirits accumulated in the ancient kingdom of Huangquan as the introduction of the ceremony, so as to open the seal of the [Thousand Leading Stone].

So someone must first bring [Words of Huangquan] out of the ancient country of Huangquan, so that the heavy weapons of the underworld cannot suppress evil spirits. Is this part of the ceremony?
