There is an ancient wooden path that stretches straight ahead.
And a massive Torii gate.
"That Torii gate is the one that separates the present world from the hidden world."
Mouchi Yingzhong pushed open the door of the Sacrificial Hall, continuing to explain while moving:
"That is also what we call the Heavenly Bird Shrine. Whenever a ritual is needed, the head of the family presides over the chanting of the exorcism."
A soft, murmuring voice arose.
"Heavenly Bird Shrine, communicate with an empty body."
"Ethereal blue fire accompanies you forward."
"Beyond the vermilion chants, beyond the Divine Tree. Beyond the vermilion Torii gate..."
"This is the place for soul binding, this is the Yellow Springs..."
Mouchi Yingzhong said bit by bit.
The main purpose of this exorcism is to heighten people's concentration, making the ensuing ritual more 'ritualistic'. The words themselves have no real meaning.
