Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 228: Improvement of Food Luck

I cast my eyes towards the crowd celebrating over there. Their laughter and excited atmosphere instantly attracted my attention, and I couldn't help but ask curiously, "It's so lively over there... Are they holding some kind of event?"

Hearing this, Alu turned his head and looked over, with a happy expression on his face, and replied: "It looks like a festival is being held, but now let's go into the temple to worship the statue of Acacia, and then go and take a look later."

After A Lu finished speaking, he took me to the steps leading to the temple. As we stepped on the steps step by step, getting closer and closer to the temple, I became more and more excited. Finally, the two of us arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

The design and decoration style of the hall fully integrates the elements of nature worship. The walls are painted with exquisite murals depicting the magnificent scenes of nature; gorgeous chandeliers hang from the ceiling, emitting soft light; and the floor is covered with gorgeous carpets, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.

These details make the whole building full of mysterious and solemn atmosphere, making people feel a sense of harmony with nature. Here, people can feel the power and charm of nature, and also understand the relationship between humans and nature. This concept of nature worship runs through the design of the entire temple, which makes people sigh.

Its interior decoration includes exquisite Japanese paper window lattices, lacquerware decorations, traditional Japanese paintings and other art forms, which not only demonstrate superb craftsmanship but also convey a profound cultural connotation.

In addition, there are shrines inside the main hall for worshipping gods. These shrines are usually beautifully decorated with gorgeous colors and detailed patterns to express respect and awe for the gods.

Around the main hall, there is a Tamagaki, a wooden fence made of paulownia wood, which serves to clearly distinguish the main hall from the outside world. The existence of the Tamagaki adds to the mystery and solemnity of the shrine, and people feel a unique atmosphere when entering the shrine.

The design and production of the Tamagaki embodies the aesthetics of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Each piece of poplar wood is carefully selected and processed to present a delicate texture and elegant lines. This pursuit of detail shows the Japanese people's piety to religious beliefs and respect for traditional culture. At the same time, the Tamagaki has become an indispensable part of the shrine architecture. It echoes with other architectural elements to create a peaceful and tranquil space.

Alu and I walked slowly into the shrine, where a golden statue of Acacia was enshrined. The statue was several meters tall and emitted a dazzling golden light. The statue held a golden dinner plate in its hand, and many incense sticks were placed in front of it. Smoke rose up, giving people a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

Alu walked to the statue and bowed devoutly, then he clapped his hands a few times and put his palms together to pray to the statue of Acacia. Then he opened his eyes, lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

Seeing Alu's pious behavior, I couldn't help but feel awe. I followed his example, clapped my hands a few times, and bowed deeply to the statue of Acacia to show my respect. Although I don't know much about religion, at this moment, as long as I keep a sincere heart, I can get the protection and guidance of God.

After paying respect to the Acacia statue, Alu and I followed the crowd to the square where the crowd had gathered to see what kind of activities were being held. We struggled through the crowded crowd and found a huge wooden square chopping board in front of us with a kitchen knife shining with cold light stuck on it.

At this time, a host dressed in gorgeous clothes came forward. His face was filled with joy and excitement, and he said in an impassioned voice: "Well, the annual [Foodie Contest] has begun this year! Who can pull out the kitchen knife stuck on the huge chopping board made of the sacred wood food fir this year?"

"You can't pull it out with brute force. If you don't interpret the wood grain and use force skillfully, you will never be able to pull the kitchen knife out. In addition, the temperature and humidity of the day will also affect this, so luck is also a very important factor no matter what!" When he said this, his tone became more excited, and his voice was clearly transmitted throughout the venue through the loudspeaker.
