Chapter 58 The Begging Ceremony(2/2)

"Let's talk about it next time..."

Kirino Akane smiled slightly.

Zong Gu looked at the two of them and asked, "What will you do next time?"

"Hey, I'll tell Souya next time."

While a few people were chatting, the dusk became darker.

At a certain moment, the sun hanging in the west disappeared from the sky, and the forest filled with light fog suddenly became dark.

As the bell rang, Kyoko, Tamako and another shrine maiden whom Soya could not name stood in front of the main halls of the Sky Palace, the Moon Palace and the God Palace respectively, and danced at the same time.

"here we go."

Shaking fans and dancing bells, the dances of the witches may be unfamiliar or skillful, with different postures.

Jingzi's eyes were slightly closed, with a pious expression. She held the bell in one hand, and held up the black and white ribbon tied to the bell in the other hand. She walked slowly towards the center with dance steps that sometimes revolved and sometimes bowed down;

Although Tamako and another shrine maiden were holding gold and silver fans instead of Kagura bells, their dance steps were generally similar to hers. They also danced while moving closer to the center.

As if he was worried about disturbing the ceremony, Yoshikawa spoke in a low voice.

"It's a little different from other shrine festivals."

"Yeah?"

"As far as the rituals I have seen myself, there is no such thing as this one... However, the colors of the Kagura bell's ribbons are very consistent, all black and white. Generally speaking, the ribbons are either red or all five colors, right?"

Zonggu didn't see much, so he couldn't give a definite answer.

"The black and white hanging belt represents the other world and the human world." Chaowu Ling suddenly said.

The three witches took dancing steps and gradually moved closer to each other.

"The Three Noble Sons are worshiped here, which now symbolizes the unity of the three gods."

"..."

Soya and Yoshikawa looked at her and were stunned for a while.

"Does Suzu know the meaning of the festival?"

Yoshikawa asked in a low voice, "I heard from my senior sister that all the ancient records were lost hundreds of years ago, and in the end only the form was retained."

Asagiri Suzu looked at the field and saw that the three shrine maidens had gathered together and prostrated themselves on the ground at the same time.

Then Kyoko stood up alone, danced her long sleeves, held the Kagura bell high, and turned it rapidly in her hand.

Ring ring ring——

After dancing, she returned to her original place and prostrated herself to the ground in a more solemn manner.

Asagiri Suzu said at this time: "Amaterasu begs the mother goddess to return to the underworld."

"..."

Yoshikawa was at a loss, Sogu looked at her for a moment, and Yuzi stood up.

Shaking the gold and silver double-sided fan, she repeated her sister's dance steps, and finally returned to her side.

Asagiri Suzu: "Tsukiyomi Begging Mother Goddess returns to the underworld."

Yoshikawa looked at her and then at Soya, who was expressionless.

"The Mother Goddess...referring to Lady Izanami?"

"Maybe."

He dropped these words and then pulled Chao Wuling aside.

"I remember Kyoko said...this is a dance originating from Takamagahara."

She nodded.

"When the teacher left Huangquan, Gao Tianyuan had been sealed, and the gods could not directly interfere with the world and the other world. In order to let the master of Huangquan return to Huangquan and end the chaotic and disorderly state, this ritual was taught to the world."

She raised her gaze and looked into the forest, and Zonggu followed suit.

The light mist flowed, gathered, and vaguely condensed into a familiar face.

It was blurry and distorted, but he recognized it immediately.

"No matter where you are in the world, the teacher will be affected by this ritual and suffer the pain of splitting the gods..."

Chaogiri Ling paused for a few seconds.
