Only after her figure completely disappeared from sight did Kamisato Ayaka reluctantly release her hands that were tightly hugging Song Yinjian's arm.
Disturbed by this, Song Yinjian lost interest in continuing the kiss and set out on the journey back to Inazuma City with her.
On the way, the two walked and chatted, but the content of the conversation revolved around work.
Soon after, the outline of Kamisato House gradually appeared in sight.
Kamisato Ayaka felt increasingly disappointed.
She had originally thought of giving Song Yinjian a good kiss today to take their relationship to the next level, but such a good opportunity was ruined by Ying.
But it would be difficult for me to take the initiative again, otherwise, it would be too proactive.
Then, she couldn't help but blame Song Yinjian.
Although a kiss without atmosphere is like a forced melon and not very sweet, it quenches thirst!
At this moment, she suddenly realized that her left hand was gently held by Song Yinjian, with their fingers interlocked.
His soft and affectionate voice came to my ears: "Linghua, we will be lovers from now on."
At this moment, Kamisato Ayaka felt as if her heart was filled with happiness, and her love for him became even more intense.
There were a few moments when she almost couldn't control herself. Crazy and passionate thoughts kept flashing through her mind, wanting to completely possess Song Yinjian.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of Kamisato's house.
Song Yinjian stopped, lowered his head slightly, gently kissed her smooth forehead, then said goodbye and left.
Kamisato Ayaka stared at his back infatuatedly, her eyes full of love.
.................................................. ..................
Ying walked dazedly on the streets of Inazuma City.
She was the one who came first, but in the end, Kamisato Ayaka and Song Yinjian became a couple.
The picture of them standing together was so well-matched, and the intimacy that was revealed unintentionally was like fine needles, piercing her heart.
"Traveler, what's wrong with you? Are you sad about something?" Paimon noticed that Ying was acting strangely, and quickly floated to her side, looking at her with concern.
Ying felt warm in her heart, she sighed slightly and said, "I seem to have fallen in love with Boss Song."
Chapter 157: The Ceremony of Sending Off the Gods
At dawn, the morning light begins to appear.
Many people in Inazuma City had already stepped out of their homes early in the morning wearing thin clothes, and were walking quickly in groups of three or five towards the site of the ceremony for sending off the gods outside the city.
They did not know why this ceremony of sending off the gods was held, nor did they know that the god being sent off was actually the first generation Thunder God, Raiden Zhen.
But it is clear that Song Yinjian will give out benefits and there will be many wonderful performances, and that is enough.
The streets that were quiet and deserted in the past are now bustling with people rushing around.
Jiuqi Shinobu was also in the crowd, but she did not follow the crowd out of the city. Instead, she went upstream and walked towards Yingxiangshan.
As a former shrine maiden of Narujin Taisha Shrine, she is more concerned with the ceremony itself.
After passing through the crowded crowd, Jiuqi Shinobu suddenly quickened his pace.
After about half an hour of rapid running, she appeared at the foot of Yingxiang Mountain.
Looking up, I saw that the foot of the mountain was already crowded with people who came to watch the ceremony of sending off the gods.
Seeing this, she immediately walked towards a high ground not far away, where the terrain was slightly higher and the view was wider.
When I reached the high ground, I was surprised to find that Kamisato Ayaka was standing there quietly, like a beautiful flower blooming in the morning light.
At this moment, she was staring blankly at the foot of the mountain, with a blush of excitement on her fair face.
Jiuqi Shinobu followed his gaze.
In front of the solemn and majestic torii, Song Yinjian was seen wearing a hunting robe as pure as snow. The hem of his robe fluttered gently in the wind, making his posture look as straight as a pine tree.
He held a foot-long divine tablet in his hand, and exuded a noble and sacred aura, like a priest under the gods, in charge of all divine affairs in the world.
Beside him stood Yae Kamiko, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden's uniform. She held the sacred bell of Kagura, her expression solemn and dignified, and her usually smart and cunning eyes were now filled with piety.
Behind them, several shrine maidens from Narujin Taisha Shrine were neatly lined up. They were dressed in uniform, had serene expressions, and held white amulets in their hands.
Soon, a golden sun rose from the east.
Song Yinjian raised his head to glance at the sky, then said in a loud voice: "The Way is magnificent, the spirits are heard for a moment, the silence illuminates my spirit, the rice light gives me dreams, and the thunder and lightning are eternal!
In the name of Song Yinjian, the priest under the mortal ruler Baal, I declare that the ceremony of sending off the gods has officially begun!
After saying this, he held the divine tablet in both hands, with a solemn and pious expression, and led the Eightfold God Child and a group of shrine maidens to bow solemnly in the direction of the castle tower.
Then he turned and nodded slightly to Yae Shinko.
Yae Shinto understood what he meant, raised his white hand slightly, and gently shook the Kagura in his hand. In an instant, the clear and peaceful bell sound suddenly echoed at the foot of the mountain, like the Buddhist sound from the sky, cleansing people's souls.
At the same time, the priestesses also waved the imperial coins in their hands gracefully, as if they were dancing a silent sacrificial dance, adding more solemnity and sacredness to this ceremony of sending off the gods.
Afterwards, Song Yinjian took steady steps and led everyone towards the venue of the ceremony to send off the gods.
Wherever they passed, the people consciously made way for them, their eyes full of admiration. Everyone held their breath and watched them quietly until they gradually went away.
A moment later, the solemn and sacred figures of Song Yinjian and his group gradually disappeared from the sight of Jiuqi Shinobu and Kamisato Ayaka.
"Ms. Ayaka, let's go too." Seeing that Kamisato Ayaka beside him seemed to be still immersed in a daze, Jiuqi Shinobu said to her softly.
Shenli Linghua seemed to have not heard it and remained standing there without moving an inch. After a moment, she suddenly seemed to come out of some kind of intoxicated state and said, "Master Song, he is very handsome, isn't he!"
Jiu Qi Shinobu didn't notice the subtle abnormality in her tone and answered frankly: "Yes, Master Song is so handsome and elegant, there must be many girls who are attracted to him."
When Kamisato Ayaka heard this answer, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Yin Jian is handsome and elegant, especially after putting on the pure white hunting clothes today, he exudes an irresistible charm.
This is the kind of man that Inazuma women are most fond of. It goes without saying that after today's ceremony, many people will regard him as their dream lover.
"Shinobu, do you like him?" Kamisato Ayaka looked up at Kuki Shinobu with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Jiuqi Shinobu thought about it seriously, then shook his head slightly and said calmly: "I prefer those who are physically strong and have simple minds."
When Kamisato Ayaka heard this, she immediately smiled like a flower.
She took Kuki Shinobu's hand affectionately and said in a light tone, "Let's go."
Afterwards, the two of them followed the bustling crowd and headed towards the venue for the ceremony of sending off the gods.
At noon, Song Yinjian finally arrived at the venue that had already been arranged.
On an extremely grand stage stood a several-meter-tall statue of the God of Thunder and Lightning, with all kinds of exquisite offerings placed below.
In the center of the stage, there is an ancient-style incense burner.
There were already huge crowds of people below, and people were looking at Song Yinjian and others with anticipation.
When Yae Shinto saw this, his expression became somewhat complicated.
She was very skeptical. If it weren't for Song Yinjian's benefits, how many people would be willing to participate in this ceremony to send off the gods?
Lei's film's isolation order, eye hunting order, and later collection of war taxes had already lost the support of the people.
Song Yinjian walked steadily to the microphone in the center of the stage, his eyes sweeping over the tens of thousands of people below the stage. He then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The Way of the Ordinary is magnificent, and the Spirit of the Gods is heard in a moment.
Remember the beauty of the moment and turn it into the driving force for moving forward.
God, I wish to witness Inazuma's beautiful future with you all."
As soon as he finished speaking, applause and cheers like a tsunami suddenly broke out from under the stage.
His words indicate that the gods will no longer pursue eternity and encourage people to pursue a better life.
In the distance, Lei Dianying heard this and felt mixed emotions.
She couldn't help but think of her sister. Lei Dianzhen has always been a practitioner of this sentence. She always tries to feel the little beauty in life with her heart, never hesitates for fear of losing, faces the changes of all things in the world calmly, and strives to make Inazuma better.
But I am pursuing eternity, which is, in a sense, a complete betrayal of her.
Chapter 158: The Ceremony of Sending Off the Gods
On the stage, Song Yinjian inserted the divine tablet in his hand into his waist and took out several pieces of paper covered with densely written words from his arms.
Then, he slowly read out the deeds of Lei Dianzhen recorded on the manuscript.
His voice was sincere and emotional, leading the audience through the long corridor of time, and looking back at every warm mark that Lei Dianzhen had left behind.
As people listened, they gradually realized that something was wrong.
In their impression, the high-ranking General Thunder was cold and cruel, and almost never cared about the lives of ordinary people like them. The decrees he issued on a daily basis were mostly harsh.
However, the General Lei Dian described by Song Yinjian at this moment was completely different. She was gentle, kind, and compassionate. She always extended a helping hand to the people in time when they were in trouble, providing help and comfort.
This made people wonder if he was wrong.
But those who are familiar with the truth know that Song Yinjian is not wrong, and Lei Dian is indeed such a gentle god.
Soon, the recitation ended, and Song Yinjian waved his arm lightly, throwing the manuscript in his hand into the sky.
The white paper manuscripts fluttered in the air and suddenly caught fire, like flying fire butterflies.
Soon, the paper manuscript turned into black ash and drifted away with the wind.
Afterwards, Yaejinko led the shrine maidens to the center of the stage and danced for the gods.
Their movements are slow and solemn, expressing their lofty faith in the gods and conveying the people's prayers and wishes.
The audience below the stage held their breath and watched this sacred dance quietly.
After a moment, the sacred and solemn dance came to an end.
There was no applause from the audience, not because it was not exciting enough, but because it was not a performance in itself.
Then, Song Yinjian once again walked to the center of the stage with steady steps and declared in a loud and powerful voice: "Burning incense to the gods!"
As soon as the words fell, Kurumi walked up to him with a bundle of incense in both hands with a solemn expression, and then distributed the incense to him, Yaejinko and a group of priestesses in turn.
After Song Yinjian lit the incense, he bowed to the gods in front of the incense burner and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Yaejinko and the shrine maidens also burned incense like him.
Afterwards, Song Yinjian led everyone present to worship the statue of Lei Dianying.
At this point, the ceremony of sending off the gods came to a temporary end and entered the next stage.
Song Yinjian walked to the microphone in the center of the stage again. This time, his expression was no longer as solemn as before, but became gentle and relaxed.
He asked, "People of Inazuma, tell me, what are you looking forward to?"
Almost without hesitation, all the people in the audience answered in unison: "Welfare!"
Seeing this, Song Yinjian smiled, "Okay, then I'll give everyone a benefit.
In the name of the Liyue State Chamber of Commerce, I will give away ten kilograms of rice to all the audience present free of charge."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue was instantly filled with deafening applause and cheers. The people's faces turned red with excitement, and their eyes were shining with surprise and excitement.
When Song Yinjian saw this, the smile on his face grew even wider.
The market price of ten kilograms of rice in Liyue is about five hundred Mora. The number of spectators on the scene is estimated to be around one hundred thousand at most. Based on this calculation, the total value of the donated rice is about fifty million Mora.
Although this seems to be a considerable expense, in his opinion, using this money to open up the entire Inazuma market is a very worthwhile deal.
Moreover, you will also gain the favor of the Inazuma people.
Next comes the familiar commercial routine of performance and sales.
Since the God Sending Ceremony was not expected to generate much profit, they did not invite big stars like Yun Jin, but only some artists with average fame.
However, the people of Inazuma, who have a relatively poor entertainment culture, did not feel disappointed at all, but instead enjoyed watching the show with great interest.
After each performance, the audience would burst into warm applause.
Song Yinjian was not very interested in selling goods anymore, so he left it all to Xingchun.
I was lying on a recliner in the backstage to rest. I had been working hard every day to prepare for the ceremony of sending off the gods.
Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, Hu Tao appeared in the background in a hurry. She immediately spotted Song Yinjian lying on the recliner and immediately raised her voice, "Hey, bitch Song, why are you sleeping again?"
Song Yinjian replied weakly, "Master Hu Tao, please let me go! I just want to waste my life now."
