    "You all come in, today is the day when my Uesugi family will rise again." Uesugi Yuichiro opened the door of the temple and called Aoba and others to go in.  At this moment, Uesugi Yuichiro's eyes were shining with bright light, as if he had given up hope long ago, but hope suddenly appeared, allowing him to grasp the last straw.  Aoba even suspected that if Aoba and Uesugi Maki were not favored by the shikigami during the ceremony, Uesugi Yuichiro would be unable to bear it and fainted on the spot.  ¡° However, the shikigami will definitely choose two people, so Aoba cannot see that Uesugi Yuichiro may faint.  After entering the temple, Uesugi Yuichiro obviously didn't realize that anyone had been here last night. He just bowed seriously in front of the two bamboo tubes enshrined in the temple, then knelt down and asked the others to put down various sacrificial items.  He also knelt down and sat down.  For how the Uesugi family conducts a ritual, Aoye is not understood at all, so she can only be busy with Uesugi Shinji with Uesugi Ichiro under the command of Uesugi.  Speaking of which, the Uesugi family¡¯s ritual ceremony to worship shikigami was definitely not such a simple thing, but now there are only three or two big cats and kittens left in the entire Uesugi family, so everything can only be made simple.  In this way, under the command of Yuichiro Uesugi, the ceremony began.  The process is quite simple. First, worship the shikigami, and then start reciting a long congratulatory speech.  Then Yuichiro Uesugi, the clan leader, stepped forward to speak. Normally, there should be clan elders also speaking. Unfortunately, there are no clan elders in the entire Uesugi family now, so this link is omitted.  Then all the Uesugi family members entered the temple one by one to offer incense. Of course, since all the Uesugi family members were already in the temple, this process was omitted.  Then there were the tribesmen who lined up outside the temple from the entrance of the temple to the bottom of the mountain, shouting slogans and setting off fireworks.  Since there is not a single clan member outside the temple now, it is also omitted.  In short, this Dharma conference, which omitted most of the steps, continued like this.  I wonder how the ancestors of the Uesugi family would feel when they saw this scene if Izumi Shita knew about it.  However, no matter how simple the ceremony was, it finally came to the most important place, which was to communicate with the shikigami among the younger generations of the Matatasugi family.  See if you can wake up the sleeping shikigami and get the shikigami's recognition.  This step also involves various complicated rituals. Seeing Yuichiro Uesugi busy performing the ritual in front of him, Aoba couldn't figure it out at all, because Aoba looked at the ceremony from his professional perspective.  There is absolutely no possibility of communicating with the shikigami and then awakening the shikigami.  Just when Aoye was wondering if Yuichiro Uesugi had made a mistake in the ritual, Aoye saw Yuichiro Uesugi's last movements. He saw him using a certain tool in the ritual, and finally on the two bamboo tubes of the shikigami, one by one,  There was a knock.  Seeing this, Qingye¡¯s eyebrows couldn¡¯t help but jump!  Because he already understood that the so-called complicated ceremony was just a pretense.  The last two knocks on the bamboo tube are the key to awakening the shikigami.  It was just like what Maki Uesugi did last night, which woke up the shikigami directly.  In other words, Yuichiro Uesugi¡¯s previous complex and complicated rituals were just pretense and unnecessary.  Aoye doesn¡¯t know why the ancestors of the Uesugi family set up such a complicated ritual. I can only say that I give full marks to this pretense.  Just like that, with the two crisp sounds of Uesugi Yuichiro knocking on the bamboo tube, the shikigami in the bamboo tube was awakened.  Two wisps of misty, seemingly non-existent white smoke rose from the bamboo tube and then dissipated in the air.  Those were two shikigami hiding their figures because it was daytime.  Therefore, it is easier to hide ghost energy, and it is too simple to prevent ordinary people from seeing it.  It¡¯s just that the two shikigami obviously didn¡¯t realize that it was precisely because of their infrequent appearance that they even appeared in this ceremony.  They were all well hidden and not discovered at all, which made the descendants of the Uesugi family less and less convinced of the existence of shikigami, and indirectly caused the Uesugi family to gradually decline.  It can only be said that although Shikigami is wise, he still cannot consider such long-term and complicated things.  So there were four people present, except Aoba.  They just saw a ray of white eyes rising from the bamboo tube, and then there was no other vision.  Yuichiro Uesugi is naturally an extremely firm believer in the existence of shikigami. Although he has never seen the shikigami of the Uesugi family, he stubbornly regards the rising white eyes as evidence of the existence of shikigami.    As for Uesugi Ginji, he has participated in many such gatherings since he was a child. There were many people at the beginning, but now there are only a few people left.  Every time the puja is the same, there are a few wisps of white smoke rising from the bamboo tube. The elders in the family say that it is the shikigami. When he was a child, Uesugi Ginji still believed it, but as he grew older, he became less convinced. It¡¯s just that  The two bamboo tubes were regarded as some kind of smoking device. It was even possible that the bamboo tubes had accumulated dust over time, and white smoke rose when they were knocked. However, Uesugi Ginji never said these words, only in  I thought so in my heart.  As for Uesugi Maki, if it was Uesugi Maki before yesterday, she would have complained even more than her father. But after last night, she began to firmly believe in the existence of shikigami, even more firmly than when she was a child.  "Okay, Shikigami-sama is about to begin the assessment. You all close your eyes and concentrate, and feel Shikigami-sama's call." Yuichiro Uesugi said to everyone immediately when he saw the white smoke appearing.  In this way, everyone including Aoba, Uesugi Maki and Uesugi Ginji began to close their eyes and rest.  That¡¯s right, it¡¯s about closing your eyes and concentrating, not closing your eyes and concentrating!  Uesugi Ginji didn't believe in the existence of shikigami at all, so naturally he wouldn't really feel the existence of shikigami and wait for the summons. However, he couldn't disobey his father's order, so he simply closed his eyes and rested, waiting.  Time passes quickly.  As for Uesugi Maki, she is full of confidence, because the shikigami already belongs to her, so naturally she no longer has to wait for the summons. She is just closing her eyes and concentrating, while constantly chanting in her heart "Little golden fox, little golden fox, hurry up"  Come to my sister, come to my sister quickly.¡± And there¡¯s Aoba, there¡¯s nothing more to say about this.  Naturally, Qingye would not concentrate wholeheartedly on waiting for the call, he would just close his eyes and rest there.  However, the three people looked similar in appearance, so after looking around for a week, Uesugi Yuichiro nodded with satisfaction.  Then he himself closed his eyes.  However, compared to the other three people, Uesugi Yuichiro is much more pious, but he does not hope that the shikigami will choose him, but he is praying with all his heart for the shikigami to choose one between Aoba and Uesugi Maki.  .  ??In a sense, this old man has been longing for the Uesugi family to rise again all his life.  He is also a poor man.  Everyone in the family has left, but he is the only one who remains here unwaveringly.  So this time Aoba returns, and the two shikigami of the Uesugi family have found their masters again. In a sense, it can be regarded as a comfort to Yuichiro Uesugi!  Although in today's era, the Uesugi family has little hope of relying on two shikigami to rise again, after all, this is already the era of capital, but at least it gives the old man something to look forward to.  With the four people having different thoughts and all closing their eyes, two shikigami, who had been named Golden Fox and Spirit Fox, appeared in mid-air.  The two shikigami first showed their long silhouettes in a burst of increasingly obvious white smoke.  Then the white body gradually changed color, slowly turning into gold. This was the change that occurred to the two shikigami after absorbing Aoba's golden runes.  However, at the tail of the two shikigami, the part that slowly changes from solid to virtual is still white, gradually changing from gold to white, and finally connected to the bamboo tube.  However, the next moment, the part connected to the bamboo tube continued to extend and stretch, and the two shikigami flew to the side of Aoba and Uesugi Maki.  It circled around the two of them.  The first person to feel all this and open his eyes was naturally Aoba, and then the second person to feel it and open his eyes was Uesugi Maki.  But compared to Aoba who just calmly reached out and touched the shikigami named Spirit Fox that belonged to him, Uesugi Maki was much more excited.  ¡°Little Golden Fox, you¡¯re finally out!¡± Uesugi Maki couldn¡¯t restrain her excitement and shouted.  Although she immediately covered her mouth, it was already over. Both Uesugi Yuichiro and Uesugi Ginji had been awakened by the shout.  "Maki, what's your name!" Yuichiro Uesugi yelled dissatisfiedly as he opened his eyes, obviously blaming Uesugi Maki for yelling at this sacred moment of communication with Master Shikigami.  But the next moment Yuichiro Uesugi couldn¡¯t continue talking.  I saw his wide eyes, staring at the two golden pipe foxes hovering beside Aoba and Uesugi Maki, his eyes full of disbelief.  And the same person staring at the two pipe foxes with wide eyes was Uesugi Ginji.  "I, am I not dreaming? Shikigami actually exist?" Uesugi Ginji murmured to himself.Standing.  "The spirit has appeared, the ancestors have appeared, the Shikigami-sama has finally appeared, and my Uesugi family has finally been revived. Didn't you forget!" Uesugi Yuichiro's face, which had always shown no emotion or anger, was now full of ecstasy, and at the same time  But there were also tears that flowed out uncontrollably.  "Father, are you okay?" Uesugi Ginci saw a look he had never seen on his father before, and immediately nervously walked forward to Yuichiro Uesugi's side and asked in concern.  At the same time, his actions were also because he subconsciously wanted to stay away from the two shikigami. Obviously, he was shocked and still had some fear of these two shikigami. After all, he grew up in an Onmyoji family and listened to many stories since he was a child.  He learned about the legends about shikigami. Although as he got older, he began to believe less and less in these. But today he suddenly saw the real shikigami in a subversive way, and all the legends he had heard when he was a child came back to him.  come out.  "I'm fine, I'm fine! Today is a happy day, I'm so happy, so happy!" Yuichiro Uesugi didn't notice his son's inner activities at all, but kept his eyes firmly on the golden fox and the spirit.  The two fox shikigami were also constantly looking at Aoba and Uesugi Maki, with extremely satisfied looks in their eyes. This was a look Yuichiro Uesugi had never shown when he looked at Aoba and Uesugi Maki.  "Grandpa, are you okay?" Compared to the calm Aoba, Uesugi Maki was extremely uneasy when facing Yuichiro Uesugi's eyes at this moment, although she knew that this was because she had successfully obtained the approval of the shikigami.  Relationship, but Uesugi Maki just feels uncomfortable.  Because her grandfather has always looked at her with indifference since she was little, and he has never been so enthusiastic.  "I'm fine, I'm fine! Maki, have you been recognized by Shikigami-sama now?" Uesugi Yuichiro spoke to Uesugi Maki in a gentle tone that had never appeared in his mouth before.  "Yes, the little golden fox has already recognized me." Maki Uesugi was still a little uncomfortable with Yuichiro Uesugi's attitude, so she accidentally said the name she gave the golden fox.  "Little golden fox? Is this the name of Shikigami-sama? Shikigami-sama has already told you its name?" Unexpectedly, after listening to Uesugi Maki's words, Uesugi Yuichiro became even more excited. It was obvious that he had misunderstood something.  "Yes, it's called the Golden Fox." So at this moment, Uesugi Maki could only say so.  ¡°So it¡¯s Lord Golden Fox, so who is this Lord?¡± Yuichiro Uesugi asked Aoba in the same soft voice.  "Linghu, it's called Linghu." Aoye replied without trying to expose Maki Uesugi.  "So it's Lord Spirit Fox? So Aoba has also been recognized by Lord Spirit Fox?" Yuichiro Uesugi asked Aoye in a tone that sounded like he was afraid of waking up from a dream, for fear that all this was just a dream and would be revealed.  He woke up with a loud start.  "Yes, I have been recognized." Qingye nodded and said.  "Great, great, this is really great." Yuichiro Uesugi, who confirmed that both Aoba and Maki Uesugi had been recognized by the shikigami, kept repeating this sentence, obviously excited  Somewhat incoherent.  For a time, neither Uesugi Ginji nor Uesugi Maki knew what to do, so all they could do was wait quietly for Uesugi Yuichiro to wake up from this incoherent state.  In this way, Uesugi Yuichiro kept looking at the Golden Fox and then at the Spirit Fox, and then at Aoba or Uesugi Maki, muttering something without knowing what he was talking about. It was not until a moment later that Uesugi Yuichiro finally recovered.  Calm.  (~^~)
