Chapter 154: Feeling a bit like a beating

Zhong Ming felt someone pulling his sleeve, he turned around and saw that it was Youjiao. It was not convenient for her to walk with a cane, so Zhong Ming walked beside her. If she fell, Zhong Ming would be able to react quickly and support her.

Excellent Quality opened her mouth and said a few words to Zhong Ming, but Zhong Ming did not hear it because of the sound of the wind brought by the wildfire and the noisy voices of the people around. Zhong Ming pointed to his ear and motioned her to say it again.

A new light came in from the side, and approached Zhong Ming. He said to him loudly over the noise of the crowd, "It is said that if the custom of sending fire from the five mountains is to work, you need to drink water or wine."

Excellent Quality nodded vigorously and gave a thumbs up to show that what he said was correct. In her hand she was holding a free promotional advertisement for Wushansonghuo.

After listening to their explanation, Zhong Ming finally understood that the correct and complete process of sending the Five Mountains Fire is to reflect the fire of the large characters in a wine glass or basin of water after the Five Mountains Fire is lit, and then drink it, which will be effective enough.

Zhong Ming thought to himself what a troublesome process this was. He had to stand on the top of the mountain of Funaoka, enjoy the cold wind, drink water and pray to God that he wouldn't get sick. If he stayed here all night and was exposed to the wind, he would get rheumatism when he returned. It would be better not to drink.

But Zhong Ming thought, "Since we are here now," and we have been exposed to the cold wind for two hours, so we don't need to wait for a while.

Under the hopeful gaze of the five horse girls, Zhong Ming saw a large wooden basin next to Funaokayama Park, which was filled with water for tourists to satisfy their sense of ritual of sending off the fire at the Five Mountains. Zhong Ming also wanted to get some, but when he saw people coming and going to scoop water, he thought of the shrine's hand-washing house, which was touched by so many people every day and who knows what kind of bacteria might be on it.

Zhong Ming hesitated for a while and finally paid for six bottles of mineral water at the nearby scenic spot store. The saleslady at the front desk looked as if nothing unexpected had happened. She took the money with both hands and smiled, saying sweetly, "I hope you will have a good experience in Kyoto."

"Are you a native of Kyoto?" Zhong Ming asked.

"Yes." said the salesgirl.

"Do you think eating oranges without picking out the white silk is country?"

"Uh..." The saleslady hesitated for a long time and said, "I think it's very novel."

The word "novel" used by the Japanese is basically equated with "unsociable" and "weird". It is a word that is disliked by people who don't know how to speak decently and use it to make excuses.

Zhong Ming rolled his eyes. Kyoto was worthy of being a thousand-year-old capital. The people here were more picky than those in Tokyo. If Zhong Ming could go back in time, he would definitely beat up the Kyoto team first and then beat up the Tokyo team - none of them were any good!

The clerk looked at Zhong Ming carefully and suddenly asked, "Excuse me, are you a trainer?"

"I am." Zhong Ming nodded.

The clerk's face suddenly became enthusiastic. Just now she was a 'business-style enthusiastic local', but now she was a 'real enthusiastic local'. She looked at Zhong Ming excitedly and said, "Sure enough, I was not mistaken. The excellent players in today's competition are trained by you. It really makes my blood boil. One day I will definitely enter Tresen!"

Zhong Ming nodded, and suddenly asked in surprise: "You want to be a horse racing girl!?"

Is it possible to transform into a horse girl through genetic mutation these days? Isn’t the one given to him by the system the first of its kind?

The clerk's face was a little tense, and her mouth twitched as she said, "I mean to be a trainer."

She sighed and said, "But the central trainer exam is too difficult. Even many students from Kyoto University were eliminated."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you study hard, you can be selected even if you don't graduate from a prestigious school." Zhong Ming consoled him. He had also gone through the Central Tresin exam, so it wouldn't be a hell for him to go through that short period of time.

——At most, there are only fifteen floors.

"You have also studied classical Chinese, you are worthy of being a trainer of Central Treson." The clerk exclaimed.

Zhong Ming didn't want to explain any more. He just assumed that he had indeed learned classical Chinese. He nodded, took the bottle of mineral water from the clerk, and walked back to the railing at the top of the mountain.

"Teacher, it's too slow!" said Twin Turbo dissatisfiedly.

"I'll throw the person who asks others to run errands and still feels bad about it down the mountain later." Zhong Ming replied.

Twin Turbo quickly covered her mouth with her hands and stopped talking. She didn't want to be thrown down.

The six people held bottles of mineral water in their hands and pointed them at the large flame characters in the distance. After reflecting them in the water, they tilted their heads back and drank them. The taste was plain, almost like water. No, it was actually water.

Zhong Ming’s experience was that he was ripped off by the guy in the souvenir shop.

It's a sister store of Oshino Hakkai, and they charge just as much.

Zhong Ming sighed, but the brand new Brilliance and Twin Turbine next to him seemed to have been inspired by the gods, and they looked at the large words in the distance with a deep look.

It looks like he deserves a beating, Zhong Ming thought.

Especially this guy Xin Xin Guang Hui, who usually wants to say that he has usurped the throne of the Emperor, but now he acts like "I am a devout believer of eight million gods", as if he must take some of the benefits from the gods.

At this time, the large characters in the distance were completely burning, burning fiercely under the night sky. The characters and figures on the five mountains were burning around Kyoto, shocking Zhong Ming, who was not interested in matters of gods. People had already used the same ceremony to pray here centuries ago. This ceremony that transcends time has a special charm.

Zhong Ming was just sighing when he suddenly heard someone next to him looking at the mountain in amazement. Zhong Ming also looked down and saw a field of paper lanterns moving slowly on the Funaoka River, which looked dreamy and beautiful.

Excellent Quality took the introduction in his hand and read it, then explained to Zhong Ming: "The Torii characters in the Five Mountains Sending Fire are said to connect the present world and the other side, so if you want to place your wishes on a paper lantern, you can put it on the river and let it be carried to the other side of the Torii."

"So that's how it is." Zhong Ming nodded, "Then if someone you hate dies, can you send paper lanterns to the other side and curse them?"

Excellent Quality was stunned for a moment, and flipped through the introduction but didn't see this item. However, the Kyoto government probably wouldn't say in the introduction to its folk customs that "If you want to scold the idiots on the other side, you can come and release paper lanterns." Otherwise, even Kyoto people would have to bow and apologize in a "private Marseille" manner.

"The idea of ​​dragging that down is so weird." Brand New Glory complained.

Zhong Ming shrugged. He was just asking out of curiosity. After all, the ghosts on the other side would not really run out of the torii.

Just as Zhong Ming was thinking this, he heard a splash in the Funaoka River below, followed by the panicked noise of many people.

Could it be that I really saw a ghost?! Zhong Ming's heart skipped a beat. Although he was powerful, he was still a human being after all. It was still unknown whether he could defeat a ghost!

But soon an anxious voice came from below: "Someone fell into the water, hurry up and save him!"

Zhong Ming quickly looked down and saw that the person who fell into the water was a guy with horse ears, obviously a horse racing girl. Moreover, this person seemed a little familiar. Is it... the Emperor of the East China Sea?

Zhong Ming's hands trembled, and he quickly threw away the mineral water in his hand, held on to the railing, stepped over and jumped down the mountain.

Chapter 155: Hokkaido High School, five kilometers away

"Hey!"

People around him thought that Zhong Ming's sudden action was suicide by jumping off the mountain, and they shouted in panic. The tourists nearby didn't know why this winner in life, who was surrounded by several horse racing girls, suddenly wanted to jump off the mountain. It couldn't be that his life had lost its meaning because of a broken pelvis, right?

The shop assistant who was full of arrogance of a Kyoto local just now also covered her mouth and screamed. Although their store was here to take advantage of the favorable conditions, the price was about the same as that of the convenience store, only a hundred yen more. There was no need for you to be so upset!

Compared to the panicked expressions of the people around them, Oguruma and the other horse girls had calm expressions. It was just jumping off a mountain, and Zhong Ming was doing it normally, but they soon looked at each other and realized something was wrong.

Wait, mountain jumping!?

"Drag that down!"

"teacher!"

They grabbed the railing and looked down quickly. Although they often teased Zhong Ming as a super alien, they all knew that he was a local who was born and raised on Earth and had his signature stamped on the factory floor. Even if he fell off the mountain, he would not be in trouble, right?

They looked down, it was a little difficult to make out in the darkness of the night, but with squinting eyes they could see a figure sliding down the mountain. Mt. Funaoka is not a very steep mountain. In addition to the roads built decades ago, before modernization, many Kyoto villagers would use various rugged paths to climb the mountain. The locals are accustomed to it. Moreover, after it became a tourist destination for the Five Mountains to Send Fire, the Kyoto government also hung a net under the mountain to prevent crowds from squeezing people out of the mountain in case someone falls. Although it sounds very safe, no one dares to jump directly from the top of the mountain. After all, even if you don't die, it will hurt to break a few bones.

They were a little worried at first, but as they watched Zhong Ming swaying left and right as he slid down the mountain, he gradually became numb. They might as well have been worried about catching a cold from the evening breeze.

Excellent Quality looked at the jumping figures below and recalled her own competition. Zhong Ming's steps were indeed much steadier than hers. She could easily break a bone if she wasn't careful, but Zhong Ming just jumped down without worrying about getting hurt.

The teacher is indeed amazing... He has excellent qualities.

Although his actions seemed dangerous, Zhong Ming felt that the ground under his feet was still solid. It was not like some mountains which were almost steep cliffs. He saw the Emperor of the East China Sea struggling in the water on the Funaoka River, but was swept farther and farther away by the fast-flowing river. The people on the shore wanted to rescue her but were worried that they would be swept away by the current before they could save her, so they hurriedly shouted for people to row the wooden boat over.

"Wooden boat, where is your wooden boat, Fujita country boy? Come over here quickly!"

"You drew some weird patterns on me this morning, so I had to go home and wash them off!"

"It's just a little pattern. Today is the day when the Five Mountains send off the fire. Don't you know how to prevent accidents?!"

"What did you say!? That was given to me by my daughter!"

It seems that there is no way to rely on that side.

If a person who falls into the water does not panic, he can hold his breath for two to three minutes. However, if he panics and chokes on water entering his lungs, he will die in just two or three minutes. Zhong Ming saw the Emperor of the East China Sea struggling in the water and realized at a glance that she was not the type to remain calm and hold her breath, so he jumped down quickly. Otherwise, if he took the mountain road, the Emperor of the East China Sea would have died by the time he reached the foot of the mountain.

The tourists halfway up the mountain were hearing the panicked noises below and had no idea what was going on. They were crowded on the mountain road urging the people in front of them to hurry up. Suddenly, they saw a figure flash past the railing of the mountain road like a ghost.

Could it be that the ghosts from the Five Mountains have come to the other side? Kyoto is indeed a thousand-year-old capital, and it can even see such a wonder! ?

The tourists were afraid and shocked by the charm of Kyoto, but when they heard the exclamations of surprise from people below the mountain road, they realized that they were not ghosts, but people running down!

But how could a person run so fast on the slope of a mountain? Isn’t he afraid of death?

Zhong Mingke didn't bother to care what they thought. Human lives were at stake now. No, horses' lives were at stake. He quickly searched for a place to land in the night. The mountain was too dark. Fortunately, there were lights from the festival nearby, which illuminated the mountain a little, allowing Zhong Ming to see the mountain clearly. He found a place to land and jumped down quickly like jumping off a mountain.

When Zhong Ming was almost at the foot of the mountain, he suddenly discovered that there was a layer of net below. It was used to protect people from falling, but now it became an obstacle for Zhong Ming.

Damn it, I can only jump over it!

Zhong Ming stepped on the ground and jumped high, over the net, and jumped into the Funaoka River, which was illuminated by paper lanterns.

"thump!"

……

"Cough cough..."

The Emperor of the East China Sea coughed violently, but the more she coughed, the more river water squeezed into her lungs. The lack of oxygen and the pain in her lungs made her scared. If she had known earlier, she would have been more careful when visiting the festival. Otherwise, she would not have been separated from Te Bie Zhou and the others while looking for Ming Wang, and she would not have fallen into the water because of an accidental bump from a tourist.

She stretched out her hand randomly to grab something, and suddenly felt something warm and quickly held it, but the burning heat from the paper lantern frightened her so much that she screamed and took a big gulp of river water.

The Emperor of the East China Sea felt more and more powerless and gradually sank into the river. He saw the endless stream of paper lanterns on the river, which looked like stars making up the Milky Way.

Will I also pass through the Torii gate and reach the other side like the paper lantern?

The Emperor of the East China Sea suddenly remembered that it was also at night when she first met Zhong Ming. Unlike other horse racing girls who only became interested in Zhong Ming after watching the competition, she had already met Zhong Ming before the competition.

Emperor Tokai is a horse racing girl who was born in Hokkaido. She lived in Sapporo when she was in junior high school. There was a school called Hokkaido High School in a remote place five kilometers away from her home. According to her neighbor's grandfather, there was a first-year high school student who ran very fast. As a horse racing girl, she naturally disdained what ordinary people called "running fast", but there were no other horse racing girls she knew nearby at the time. Emperor Tokai secretly ran to Hokkaido High School to compete with him, but did not find that person.

After not finding anyone for several days, the Emperor of the East China Sea thought that the neighbor grandfather was fooling her, and was going to go back home to find him to steal some carrots. However, when she was going home at night, she heard the sound of running. It was very scary to hear such a sound when walking alone in the middle of the night, but the Emperor of the East China Sea turned around and looked back, relying on her youth and fearlessness. If it was a bad guy, she would kick the other person's knee and break it.

However, that person didn't look like a bad guy, not only because he looked a little handsome, but also because his Hokkaido High School sportswear was dirty. But the Emperor of the East China Sea stared at him blankly, because... he ran so fast!

Faster than her!

No, faster than any horse girl she had ever seen!

There was no doubt that the man was the 'fast-running freshman in high school' she was looking for. When the Emperor of the East China Sea came to his senses, it was too late to catch up with him. On the second night, the Emperor of the East China Sea was also squatting on that road. The man's sportswear was washed today, but it was soiled again after a while of exercise.

The same thing happened on the third day.

The same happened on the fourth day.

The Emperor of the East China Sea was very curious about what that person wanted to do. No matter how fast he ran, he didn't seem to hear any horse racing or anything like that. She couldn't help but feel a little pity for him. This person was so powerful but had no chance to show it.

A week later, the neighbor's Mediterranean grandfather gave her an admission ticket. It was said to be a niche game called "basketball", and the high school student who ran very fast would also participate. The Emperor of the East China Sea took a look with a pitiful mentality towards that person, and sure enough, the number of people present was pitifully small, with only a dozen people including her.

But after the race started, she was shocked. The first-year high school student named Zhong Ming who ran very fast was incredibly good. If Rudolph symbolized the emperor, then he was almost like a tyrant, as terrifying as the Ming Wang in the temple, making people dare not compare with him.

From that day on, she began to intentionally collect information about Zhong Ming. From pity in the beginning to admiration later, Zhong Ming's three years of high school passed in the blink of an eye, and he was still so talented but unknown.

It would be nice if he could come to Tresen... The Emperor of the East China Sea thought to herself when Zhong Ming graduated from high school and retired. And she really waited for it. Zhong Ming debuted from Kasamatsu and came to Central Tresen.

"I finally waited for it..." The Emperor of the East China Sea stretched out his hand towards the river surface, and with a wow another mouthful of river water filled his mouth.

She sank into the river again, but suddenly there was a "splash" on the water surface, and a strong hand grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the surface of the river with great force in an instant. The Emperor of the East China Sea finally breathed in fresh air and opened her mouth to gasp for fresh air, but before she had taken two breaths, she felt someone pressing hard on her chest. She coughed hard to cough out the water in her lungs.

"Are you okay?" Zhong Ming asked loudly while treading water and patting the East China Sea Emperor's cheek.

The two of them were still in the middle of the river. Zhong Ming grabbed the Emperor of the East China Sea with his backhand, like he was holding a kidnapper to prevent her from losing her mind in a panic and holding on to him, causing them both to sink. As for politeness, he no longer cared about it.

"Cough... No, I'm fine." After the Emperor of the East China Sea coughed all his strength, he took a deep breath of fresh air and said hurriedly.

You are fine, your face looks as scary as a ghost. Zhong Ming complained in his heart, but he had experienced choking on water many times when he was practicing cross-Pacific training before. He judged from experience that although the Emperor of the East China Sea looked pale, he was just choking on water and was scared. He would be fine after resting for a day or two. It would take him time to be sent to the hospital to see a doctor.

"Young man, come over here!"

Zhong Ming saw someone rowing hard towards her. On the boat were two stall owners he had seen when he went up the mountain. Fujita and another stall owner were rowing over together. There was a very cute Powerpuff Girls pattern on the hull, and the name of the boat was written on the hull: 'Wei Wo Du Zun Maru', which was a unique way of complementing each other.

After the boat approached, Zhong Ming threw the Emperor of the East China Sea onto the boat and then jumped on by supporting himself with his hands on the edge of the boat.

What kind of sudden disaster is this... Zhong Ming complained in his heart as he looked at himself and the Emperor of the East China Sea, both of them wet.

He turned around and saw people standing on the shore shouting loudly. They were Te Bie Zhou and Golden Captain Bai McQueen who came with the Emperor of the East China Sea.

Chapter 156: Let the cells vibrate to generate heat and evaporate water

After Zhong Ming and Donghai Emperor got on the boat, the two stall owners rowed hurriedly to the shore. There were already some tourists studying medicine waiting on the shore. They were probably graduates from medical school who came out for sightseeing. They checked them very skillfully by rolling their eyes and pinching their mouths. There were also people studying Chinese herbal medicine who put their hands on their pulses, but they couldn't find anything serious.

They also helped Zhong Ming to check on him. Even if rescuing someone might cause choking, which is more serious than falling into the water, this is not without precedent. Zhong Ming did not want to have his mouth and eyes pulled in front of so many people, but the kind eyes of this group of medical students made Zhong Ming feel that it would be a sin not to accept it, so he could only nod slightly.

After the examination, several medical students looked at each other and said to Zhong Ming sincerely: "Are you interested in coming to the hospital to be a specimen... Ahem, sorry, I meant a model. You are very healthy, I think you must be a good material for students."

Ordinary young people usually have some minor problems. Needless to say, women put on makeup on their faces all day long, their eyes are bloodshot, and they have to stick on super long eyelashes. Not to mention being healthy, they are lucky if they are not dead. The same goes for men. It’s a blessing if they can go to bed before midnight. If they continue like this, they will sign a contract with the devil of sudden death.

But Zhong Ming is in particularly good health, with a healthy and strong heart beating, as if it is about to jump out of his chest. This is perfect material!

Zhong Ming felt that the eyes of the medical students in front of him seemed to want to dissect him, so he quickly waved his hands to indicate that he had no intention of doing so. Several medical students were very disappointed, but they still examined him and then blended into the crowd and continued their tour.

Zhong Ming had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a loud cry of "Wow" beside him. He was so scared that he thought a ghost had really escaped from Torii Mountain Fire. He turned around and found that it was the Golden Ship lying on the East China Sea Emperor and crying loudly, crying so hard that he was hoarse. Betian Zhou and Mebiro McQueen beside him were also looking at the East China Sea Emperor with great concern.

Zhong Ming rolled his eyes. He didn’t get choked to death by the water, but would be scared to death by you.
