Chapter 286 Festival
"Brother Beidou, did you eat beans today?"
When Beidou approached Lingye for help, this was the first thing the girl asked.
"beans?"
Beidou did eat the beans, and the TAC team scattered beans together to ward off evil spirits, and ate the remaining beans. But what does this have to do with his arm?
"I think there are red beans mixed in there."
After saying this, Beidou remembered that he did see such a bean among the beans he ate today.
I didn't think much of it at the time, thinking that the store had mixed a red bean in with the soybeans when frying them. It didn't look bad, so I ate it together. There was no strange smell, but a bit of meaty flavor. I thought it was nutmeg.
“Is there something wrong with that bean?”
"Ah."
Ling felt something was wrong when she picked up the bean from the bean demon. What made her wonder was that as a fellow giant of light, Beidou didn't feel anything?
It had a clearly disgusting smell, but he actually ate it.
Beidou certainly didn't feel anything. The Giant of Light was also on the scientific side, but its existence was changed by light.
How can you understand all the strange curses?
Healing Beidou is simple, and Reiya doesn't even need to transform into Gaia, as both the "Mother Ray" and the "Silver Cross Ray" can be used in human form.
But it wasn't just Hokuto who was harmed, many other people were affected, and the red beans were distributed randomly, so the patients were scattered all over Tokyo.
In the study, Ling stood up from her seat and walked to Beidou. She stretched out her hand, and a blue bracelet appeared on her empty wrist.
The medical technology of the Kingdom of Light is of course very advanced, but in addition to these conventional technologies, warriors with special healing skills are the true foundation of the Silver Crusaders.
This requires talent, which is difficult to cultivate.
Gaia seemed to be just an ordinary newborn giant of light from the beginning. She was unskilled in fighting and skills, and even her flying was just a toddler. When she landed from the sky, she stepped on the ground and made a big hole. She also broke more than one water pipe and gas pipeline.
Their combat experience is far from comparable to that of the Ultra Brothers of the Space Guard.
But in just a few months, she quickly became proficient, and various powerful skills emerged one after another. Later, in the V2 form, the Supreme form, and the Meta field, she destroyed many enemies that even the Ultra Brothers could not defeat.
This was the first time Beidou saw Qing Lingye perform her healing skills up close, and he found it incredible.
The bracelet that appeared on Lingye's wrist was exactly the same as the "Blue Mother" in Ultra Mother's hand.
"Is this Blue Mother?"
"Uh-huh."
Ling also nodded casually in response.
"There are two Blue Mothers?"
"probably."
Isn't it common sense that magic weapons have male and female ones? In the past, Ling also tried to avoid using them in front of the Ultra Brothers. She knew in her heart that they were projections and counterfeit goods, and she felt a little guilty after all.
But the battle with Ace Killer made her realize that the copycat might not be inferior to the original.
She used the projected bracelet to face off against the bracelet that was taken away from Jack and used by Ace the killer. The projection and the prototype were evenly matched.
Apart from the time limit for projection, there is no difference in performance, strength and hardness within the time limit.
So much so that he fooled Ace Killer.
The same goes for Blue Mother. Whatever Ultraman Mother's Blue Mother can do, the projection bracelet can also do.
It drew special light energy from the bracelet and transformed it into healing "Mother Rays", which shone on Beidou's arms, with an immediate effect.
"How about it?"
Beidou pinched his fingers and shook his arms, feeling much better! He even did two push-ups on the spot, easily and without any sluggish feeling.
"It's really better now! I can use more strength now."
Compared to being stabbed in the heart by the Flame Beast and being reborn from a nearly dead state, healing the arm is not a miracle.
But because Beidou was conscious at this time, he clearly saw how Lingye treated him, which made him even more surprised.
That is indeed Mother Ultra’s bracelet, and it is indeed Mother Ultra’s skill.
If he was not familiar with Lingye and Gaia, he would even suspect that Mother of Ultra had come to Earth and found a human body.
In the Kingdom of Light, whenever they returned injured from the battles in the Dark Kingdom, the Silver Crusaders would treat them, and Ace had also received treatment personally from Mother Ultra.
Even the breath is exactly the same.
With his eyes closed, he wouldn't even feel awkward calling out "mother".
Among the Ultra Brothers, except Taro, none of them were born by Ultra Father or Ultra Mother. But Ultra Mother is really like their mother.
But when he opened his eyes and looked at the ten-year-old girl in front of him, he couldn't call her "Mom" no matter what.
Ling didn't care whether others called her mom or not. She hadn't let her maternal instinct overflow to that extent.
"The patient has been cured, but what about the others?" She couldn't go to see patients one by one and use Mother Ao's skills to treat all the injured people.
Beidou is also aware of this problem.
And we don’t know how many of those spreading red beans there are, and the ones that are now sick may be only a part of them.
"What should we do then? Or, should we use that 'Mother Ray' on Tokyo?" Although Beidou had been treated by Mother of Ultra before, he was not very clear about the range of that skill.
What he got was undoubtedly Lingye's rolling eyes.
Do it to the whole of Tokyo? It would be better to do it to the whole earth. All headaches and fevers in the world would be cured.
That is the skill of Mother Ultra, not the skill of God Ultra.
"Why not hold a festival?"
Ling also said so.
"Holding a festival?"
At Tsukimine Shrine, Hyuga priest accidentally repeated the words of Oshima miko.
"Didn't we have no exorcism festival this year for Setsubun due to the super beast attacks? Tomorrow is the beginning of summer, which is also Setsubun. Everyone in Tokyo is throwing beans, so why not have the shrine hold a festival instead?"
"Yes, yes."
This is indeed a reason, but is it really possible to hold a festival in such a hurry? You know, in previous years, preparations for the exorcism festival had to start a month in advance.
It has to be done today, and it’s already afternoon, so how can we have enough time to prepare?
Not to mention other preparations, there was no time to inform the surrounding believers and pilgrims.
The worship ceremony of the Eight-foot Mirror has long ended, and it has been invited back to the Ise Shrine. The incense at the Tsukimine Shrine is now completely different from previous years. So if you want to hold a festival, you must notify it at least a few days in advance.
This is also a respect for others.
"That's okay. If the shrine needs any preparation, the TAC team will help."
"T...TAC team?"
The 'Mother Ray' cannot be cast over the entire Tokyo area, but it can be cast during festivals.
After all, the red bean was not a scientific thing, it was a curse. Rather than treating it, it was enough to dispel the curse. And praying was her duty, not as Ultraman Gaia, but as the Oshima Miko.
Hyuga priest originally thought that the 'TAC team helping with preparations' mentioned by Oshima Miko meant helping to purchase some ritual objects for the festival, or maintaining transportation.
But the real preparation is much more exaggerated.
"Using the entire Tokyo as a festival?"
Is there a precedent for this? Of course there is, but it's not called a festival, it's called "Yin Yang Dipping"!
Just like the water and land ceremonies in Buddhism, Shintoism has been deeply influenced by Taoism and Buddhism, and has also inherited the corresponding customs.
In ancient times, when the entire country encountered large-scale natural disasters or wars, the royal family would hold a Yin-Yang Dip in the capital.
A thousand years ago, there was such a grand event in the Heian-kyo era, and it has happened several times since then.
But the last time it was held was when Tokyo was still called 'Edo'.
However, no matter which time, whether the capital was Heian-kyō (Kyoto) or Edo (Tokyo), the place that would undertake the Yin-Yang Grand Dip was Ise Jingu, because that was the royal shrine, where the emperor worshipped.
Pray for the royal family and for all living beings.
Except for Ise Grand Shrine, other shrines belong to wild sects. Even Izumo Taisha Shrine does not get a turn, so how could it be their turn?
"You've heard about the monster that appeared in Tokyo today, right? It's the Tomo-chan. I think that since the 'ghost' really appeared, it should be the responsibility of the shrine and the miko to exorcise it."
Hyuga Miyaji finally understood why the TAC team came forward and why they helped them hold the festival.
Because the enemy this time is a monster!
But isn't the usual "exorcism" a job to comfort people? Whether it's a scam or not, shrine maidens and festivals are just that. It's better to believe it than not, so that people can have some psychological comfort.
A true, literal exorcism? Hinata had never heard of such a thing.
But when Hinata saw the Chihaya cloak on the Oshima miko, he suddenly understood.
The emblem of a large sun, the priestess of the sun.
According to legend, Chihaya is a shrine maiden who has the power to exorcise evil and suppress evil spirits. Chihaya, who has been worshipped before the gods for hundreds of years, finally has a master again, which is unusual.
"Is it really possible?"
Hinata knew he shouldn't ask this question, but now he knew what the Oshima Miko was going to do. It was not to seek psychological comfort for all living beings, but to actually fight against the terrible demons.
"Of course, Hyuga Miyaji doesn't believe in God?"
He believed in God, but he only knew that "there is a God above your head." Today, he realized that God really exists, but mortals like him have not been able to receive God's grace.
The Oshima Miko is different; what she says is the true oracle.
Hyuga priest bowed and saluted, he was saluting to his decades of belief.
夜
The big drum sounds.
From the foot of Yuefeng Mountain, there are two long rows of fire dragons extending downwards, all of which are lit sacrificial fires.
"Tokyo residents didn't object to such a commotion," Yoshimura said incredulously. This was no ordinary nuisance, and traffic was restricted for several kilometers.
