After thinking about it, Bai Shuiqiu could only use an ambiguous answer: "This kind of stuff... don’t get to the bottom. In fact, it’s ghosts and so on. Many times they frighten themselves. If they really do things with integrity, they are all righteous. , I think even evil spirits will stay away."

   "Is this..."

Keiko Kashiro nodded, and after a while, he asked again: "Then, have you studied kendo or archery, or dancing? I remember that maidens should be able to dance of Kagura. It is the time to pray to Lord God. It’s a good-looking one, and you should do it too, right?"

   "I have learned a little about Kyudo, but I haven't touched Kendo. As for dancing... occasionally."

   Although Bai Shuiqiu did learn several kinds of Kagura dances, and skipped several times during the sacred activities every year, but psychologically, I always feel a little ashamed, especially if he dances in full view...

Keiko Kamishiro asked some more questions. The topic gradually extended from the shrines and maidens to Bai Shuiqiu. From hobbies to daily life, he even mentioned the food that he likes to eat, most of the time. Keiko Kanda is asking a question.

   Although Bai Shuiqiu found these questions a bit weird, he still answered roughly.

   Actually speaking, Bai Shuiqiu is not very outgoing.

   is not very good at communicating with unfamiliar girls who have met for the first time and looking for topics.

   But Keiko Kashiro is very experienced, and can always find a new topic when it is about to end.

   By the time they had circled the shrine a few times and returned to the courtyard, nearly half an hour had passed, and Shirasuiqiu and Keiko Kandairo had gotten to know each other better than when they first met.

   at least on the surface it looks like this...

   The sliding door of the inner room opened again.

  From the perspective of Shiraito, Keisuke Kandai put his hands together, saluted Chiyo, and then walked out, apparently ending this visit.

Keiko Kandaro next to    also put his hands in front of her, bowed to Bai Shuiqiu and said goodbye.

After walking for two steps, it seemed that something suddenly came to mind. He turned around and ran back to Bai Shuiqiu, and touched his hair a little embarrassedly: "Yes, there is one more thing I forgot just now... Would you mind adding your LINE, in the future? Can it be more convenient for contact?"

   "Um... okay."

   Bai Shuiqiu didn't think too much.

   Japanese people use LINE as their main communication software, and it is a habit that has only been developed in the past ten years. Before that, most people used infrared to exchange e-mail addresses to communicate. However, in Bai Shuiqiu's view, this thing is actually like WeChat in China. Although the languages ​​used are different, the general functions are very similar.

   After adding LINE to each other, Keiko Kashiro owed her body again, and then turned around contentedly, and left the shrine with her father.

Chapter 66: It's a Girl, That's It All

   After the gods left on behalf of the father and daughter, the two gangster bodyguards followed quickly, and the figures of several people went out of the shrine and soon disappeared on the road outside.

   Until this time, Bai Shuiqiu walked to Chiyo, hesitated for a moment, after all, he couldn't help curiosity, and asked a few things about Keisuke Jindai.

   "You said Keisuke..."

   Chiyo smiled, and slowly said, "That child is the eldest son of the Goddai Patriarch, but it should be called the Goddai Foundation...

This family used to live in Narita City and had a good social relationship with our gods, but later for the development of the consortium, they gradually moved the industry to Chiba City, but they still pay to our shrine every year and pay for them during the holidays. Will come to worship.

   Before, the head of the Jindai family had always come here personally, but in recent years, the old man had a physical condition and was replaced by Keisuke.

   It’s been thirty years since the Shindai family lived in Narita. At that time, don’t talk about you, even your father was still in elementary school..."

   When talking about this, Chiyo squinted his eyes slightly, with a look of remembrance on his face, as if recalling the events of the year.

"As for Keiko's child, I heard that he was weak and sick when he was a child. He has been living and conditioning in Chiba City. He rarely goes out, so even I saw her for the first time today. She is a very cute girl. Especially those eyes, they look a lot like her mother."

   "Consortium..."

   Bai Shuiqiu actually doesn't have much intuitive concept of this term.

   After all, in China where she lived in her previous life, there was no such thing...or even if it did, it was different in nature from the one in Japan.

In Japan, there are many old and emerging consortia. Some of the larger consortia are often related to some aristocratic classes and have a long history. The industry covers many different fields, from the basic banking and financial securities. Industries, textile chemicals, shipping retail, building materials and automobiles, etc., can cover all aspects of life. Some large consortia linked to political power are even more powerful, and they can even interfere with important national affairs at the congressional level.

  The Goddai Foundation is an emerging consortium.

It is said that the ancestors of the Shindai family were once the aristocrats in the Kanto region, but they belonged to the kind with relatively low titles. Later, after the abolition of the aristocratic system in the 1940s, they began to go to the sea to do business, relying on the family background that they had accumulated before. Networking, through the painstaking management of three or four generations, step by step has created a Goddai consortium of this size.

   The well-known Jindai Heavy Industries and Jindai Electronics in Chiba Prefecture are the industries of the Jindai family. It is said that there are also some related companies involved in banking, finance and retail industries, with a wide range of radiation.

In addition, since most consortia are inextricably related to the black and white two roads, and even some consortia are transformed from gangs at all. When dealing with some special affairs, these Jidao organizations are often quite convenient and easy to use, so even It is a company that had little to do with the underworld, and will also deliberately cultivate some underworld gangs as its own subsidiary forces.

   In this way, it is not surprising that two people who look like members of the gang are followed by the gods and daughters as bodyguards.

  Of course, like this kind of large consortium, the assets definitely do not belong to a single individual, and there will be factions and hilltops among different shareholders. Because of the conflict of ideas and interests, they compete for power through internal competition...

   But in any case, as the chairman of the entire consortium, Keisuke Jindai has a large share of shares.

   And Keiko Kashiro is a veritable consortium eldest.

   Bai Shuiqiu originally thought that a child born with a golden key like this would develop some spoiled habits, but from the brief contact just now, Keiko Kamidai felt quite comfortable for her.

   But I have to say something...

   No matter how rich it is, it's people's own business.

  It’s one thing for the Shindai family to be willing to pay homage to the Tenmoku Shrine. It’s another thing to buy some souvenirs such as off-season watermelon on New Year's Day. The former is a believer in the shrine, and the latter is a friend. The two should not be confused.

   Just like in Chiyo, the money that the benefactor pays for worship is also calculated separately. The former is used to repair the houses and buildings in the shrine, and the latter is used to maintain the daily life of the grandfather and grandson. Although no one knows even if the consecrated money is used as a squander...

   But Chiyo takes these rules very seriously, and Bai Shuiqiu can only follow them silently.

   Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to eat watermelon several times a year...

Chidai paused, as if thinking of something again, and said with a smile, "By the way, there is one other thing you may not know. In fact, when your grandfather was still young, he had a close relationship with Keisuke's father, Fumisa Kaminari. The two also booked a baby relationship, and discussed that if the two children give birth to a boy and a girl, they will become in-laws.

   It's a pity that both of us gave birth to sons. Naturally, this in-law relationship could not be formed, so it was passed on to the next generation. "

"Eh?"

   Baby kiss?

   What age is it... There is still such a thing?

   Bai Shuiqiu was taken aback for a while, after thinking for a while, he asked a little bit hesitantly: "You mean, this doll...has been postponed to me, and the child of Uncle Shendai?"

   Although it is like this, it is usually a joke made after getting drunk at the wine table, but I am afraid that some people will take it seriously. Bai Shuiqiu did not know the circumstances under which his grandfather and the old man of the Jindai clan ordered this baby relationship, and what attitudes both parties held...in case the old man of the Jindai clan suddenly remembered this matter, may It's a little troublesome.

  In other words...Kimdai Keisuke came here to propose marriage on purpose, right?

Just when Bai Shuiqiu was a little worried, and even began to consider what reasons should be used to decline this marriage, he heard Chiyo smiling and saying: "According to the agreement between the two old men, it was originally planned like this, but it is a pity that your grandpa is now He has passed away, and Keisuke Jindai gave birth to only one daughter... so this baby kiss can only be lost again."

   "Huh..."

   Bai Shuiqiu let out a long sigh of relief.

   is a girl, then it’s okay...

   She was a bit afraid just now that her grandmother, like those old antiques, would forcibly engage in a **** match...

   eh, wait?

   only gave birth to one daughter...that means that the only daughter is Keiko Kamidai

Chapter 67 That's five million!

   Bai Shuiqiu shook his mind for a moment when he met with Keiko Kandaji. A strange thought came up in his mind, but he didn't think much about this issue, so he asked:

   "Then Uncle Goddai came to see you this time, for what?"

"Oh, that's it. Keisuke said that recently encountered a very difficult thing, that is, the Jindai Foundation in Sakura City is preparing to renovate a school that has been closed. During the construction process, it encountered some weird things. Some workers said that they saw ghosts in the old school building, and several accidents happened one after another..."

"The Shindai family had hired a priest from the local shrine in Sakura before, but it didn't help much. Moreover, after entering the building, the priest was in some condition and almost died, so he found us. here."

   "Chu Ling..."

   Bai Shuiqiu understood Chiyo's meaning, but soon frowned: "Since I have seen ghosts in that old school building...Why don't you go around?"

Chiyo laughed dumbfounded: "It's not that simple. This is a big project. The Jindai Foundation has invested a lot of money in the early stage. If it is bypassed now, it will have a great impact on the entire construction period. The early investment will be reduced. If you don’t come back, it may even have an impact on the other layout of the consortium. If there is a chance to solve it, it will definitely be the first to find a solution."

In fact, even a large consortium such as the Goddai Consortium, the liquidity on the books is often limited. If a large amount of investment is lost, it will definitely cause a series of chain reactions in a short period of time, and it will take a long time. Rejuvenate.

   Bai Shuiqiu didn't understand these business matters, but just looked up at Chiyo: "Then you... promised him?"

   Although I don't know what the situation is in the old school building, since there are already priests over there, it is very dangerous to want to come inside. If it is Bai Shuiqiu, most of them will choose to refuse.

  "I originally intended to refuse, but the Shindai family is old friends with us after all. Keijing came here to make a request. If we were indifferent, it would be a bit chilling...

Moreover, Keisuke has promised that regardless of whether he can successfully eliminate the spirits, he will spend 5 million yuan to renovate the outer gate of the shrine, as well as the torii and the road under Tianmu Mountain. So I promised that he would help check the situation first. If you can't get rid of the spirits smoothly, you can only talk about it after reading it. "

   Bai Shuiqiu: "..."

   Tenme Shrine’s affairs have always been controlled by Chiyo, and since Chiyo has already said that, Shiraito does not have much to say. after all…

   That's five million!

   You must know that when the shrine is in normal business, it is not considered an enshrinement. The annual income is just over one million yuan. Compared with this, five million is already an astonishing sum...

  Although it is used to renovate the road and cannot be used for personal consumption, it is also a matter of celebration to be able to get such a large sum of money.

   But it's one thing to agree to help in the face of five million yuan. Whether you really want to get rid of spirits and whether you can get rid of spirits is another matter.

Bai Shuiqiu hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking Chiyo about the follow-up arrangements. Chiyo squinted his eyes for a while and then slowly said, "Kisuke will stay in Narita for one day. If nothing else, it should be tomorrow morning. When we leave, it doesn’t matter when we come back. During my absence, the shrine will be taken care of by you. If you have any questions, you can go to Mr. Akita at the foot of the mountain for help..."

   "Wait... Are you planning to go by yourself?"

"Ok?"

   Seeing Chiyo's slightly strange expression, Bai Shuiqiu realized that his problem seemed... a bit silly.

   Regardless of the evil spirits or the Yunv's affairs, she had experienced these things herself, and Chiyo didn't know about it. On the bright side, Chiyo is the current **** of Tenme Shrine, that is, the person who talks to the shrine. Of course, she should be responsible for the work of excluding spirits, and she is not in charge of the underage shrine maiden Bai Shuiqiu.

   After all, tomorrow is Monday.

   Bai Shuiqiu's current identity is still a high school student. Although Sakura City is a neighboring city of Narita City, the distance between the two cities is not too far, but it takes at least a day or two to go back and forth. If there are more twists and turns in the process of removing spirits, the delay may be even longer. From Chiyo's standpoint, naturally, she does not want to take leave of absence because of these things, which would affect her studies.

   But the problem is...

   My grandmother... will she really get rid of her spirits?

   Bai Shuiqiu expressed doubt.

She herself had seen the power of evil spirits and monsters with her own eyes, and in her shrine, apart from the catalpa bow, there seemed to be no other means to repel evil spirits, even the rune curses recorded in the ancient books in the treasure hall. It doesn’t seem to work either...

Out of worries about this, Bai Shuiqiu tentatively proposed to take time off and go with Chiyo. Chiyo disagreed at first, but after she soaked for a while, even after she used a coquettish tactic, Chiyo was still relaxed. Uttered. But she can only go for one day, and by tomorrow night at the latest, no matter what the progress of Deling, she must return to Narita City and prepare to go back to school the next day.

   Bai Shuiqiu naturally agreed.

   In her opinion, if the incident can be resolved smoothly, one day is actually enough, and if it can’t be resolved... it’s useless to stay a few more days. At that time, the best way is to persuade Keisuke Kamdai to abandon the project.

   After all, the financial loss can be made up with time, but if you lose your life for this... it will be more than worth the loss.

   That night, Bai Shuiqiu went to bed early for a while.

   The next morning.

   Bai Shuiqiu woke up early as usual, went to Houshan and played Bajiquan several times, and then practiced it with the compound bow for a while to find the feel.

   estimated that the time was almost up, so he turned around and walked back. On the way, he took out his mobile phone and called the teacher in charge. He said that he had a fever after waking up in the morning and wanted to take a day off.

As a good student who rarely misses class, Bai Shuiqiu has always been a well-behaved and sensible image from the teachers in the class. Therefore, there was no setback in the leave this time. The teacher simply approved the leave. , And told Bai Shuiqiu to have a good rest at home, making her feel a little embarrassed.

   When he returned to the shrine, Chiyo was already packing up, all kinds of messy exorcism items, stuffed with a big package.

Chapter 68: A Genius Schoolgirl?

   Bai Shuiqiu took advantage of the busy time of Chiyo, opened the package and glanced inside. They were all talisman, magical instruments, Kagura bells, broken magic arrows and the like.

   But in her opinion...

Most of these things are of some kind, because you can hardly feel the traces of spiritual power fluctuations from above, and the few magical instruments that contain spiritual power are also very old, in a little abstract terms. In other words, there are traces of the baptism of years flowing everywhere on it.

   It is a miracle in itself that they can be preserved intact to this day...

   Bai Shuiqiu pursed his lips, wondering whether to persuade Chiyo to throw these things away, after all, it would be quite heavy to carry them.

But before he could say anything, Bai Shuiqiu suddenly had his eyes fixed, and noticed a long black box placed at the bottom of the travel bag. The surface of the box was carved with intricate and exquisite patterns. Compared with the old artifacts around it, it was like It's like an exquisite work of art, and it feels a bit out of place.

"This is…"

Bai Shuiqiu subconsciously reached out and touched it. Before she could touch the black box with her fingertips, she felt a faint tingling sensation, causing her to retract her hand reflexively, just as she was about to try to touch it again. At that time, Chiyo had already walked back from the direction of the main hall, carrying a black bow bag on his back.

   "What's wrong, Xiao Qiu?"

   Chiyo looked at Bai Shuiqiu who was standing by and asked in a strange way.

   "No, nothing..."

Seeing Chiyo put down the bow bag and re-zipped the zipper of the travel bag, Bai Shuiqiu took the initiative to pretend to see that it was almost nine o'clock, and followed Chiyo all the way to the foot of Tianmu Mountain. He waited for less than two. Minutes, I saw a black extended sedan galloping from the road far away and stopped steadily on the side of the road a few meters in front of the grandchildren.
