Before each new single is released, Guanfan will release several promotional location programs.
The main content of the first three sales promotions was to distribute small gifts to various places, make a brief introduction on local TV programs, and enjoy some food and drinks. Overall it was like an outing, relaxing and enjoyable.
This time the theme of the outdoor scene was changed, and instead they went to various blessed places in Japan to pray for the best sales of the four items.
The 16 people selected were divided into four groups, including Amamiya Shiori, Akimoto Manatsu, Nojo Aimi, and Ikuta Erika.
Before leaving, Shitara threatened in front of the girls: "This will be the most cruel propaganda so far!"
"Eh~" The members were half curious and half surprised.
There are a total of four options for praying places, including mountains, fire, cliffs and water. Wherever you draw it goes.
Mountains and cliffs are easier to guess. It's nothing more than climbing mountains and cliffs. If there are enough safety protection measures, the risk is not high, but it is a bit scary.
Fire and water are merciless, and it is difficult to get along with them at first glance. It is very likely that you will experience physical pain.
Amamiya Shiori's group drew water, and everyone had to complete the blessing challenge.
The place of prayer is at Mount Usuki Tenkoji Temple in Nishitama-gun, Tokyo. A casual search on the road revealed that this temple is most famous for its waterfall practice.
In November, the weather has turned cold, and the water column from the waterfall in the mountains rushes up to the head, which may cause ice and pain.
Even though they already knew what they were about to face on the way, when they arrived at the gate of Tianguang Temple, the four of them had to pretend not to know anything in front of the camera, asking the abbot to explain the specific situation.
In short, they first perform the Obaidu pilgrimage and then go to the waterfall for spiritual practice.
The so-called "Yu Baidu Pilgrimage" means running back and forth along the trail with bare feet. Every time you turn back, you have to recite "Namo Master Panzhao Vajra" loudly three times. The 20-meter trail requires 108 round trips, which is almost 4,320 meters.
Amamiya Shiori suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap.
Take off Nogizaka's sportswear and put on a white ascetic outfit. After taking off his socks at the monk's request and stepping on the wet stone road, Amamiya Soi shivered.
Today's temperature is already low, only 7 degrees, and it's drizzling. It's a direct injury to the ice system plus dots and full debuffs.
"Ah——" Erika Ikuta and Manatsu Akimoto screamed.
After introducing the specific process of worshiping Yu Baidu, the abbot also emphasized that everyone should run hard and shout as loud as possible.
The abbot and his apprentice first demonstrated how to run twice. They were strong and practiced regularly. Their faces remained calm while running and their voices were loud.
The girls' hands and feet became cold after just standing for a while. Amamiya Shiori couldn't wait to start quickly. She might feel better if her body warmed up while running.
"Is it okay, Erika?" Amamiya Sugawara asked Ikuta Erika next to her.
The two of them stood in front of the stone statue of Kobo Daishi at the starting point of the return run. Erika Ikuta pursed her lips, expressionless.
"No problem!" She replied immediately and firmly.
With the abbot's order, Yu Baidu's worship ceremony officially began.
Amamiya Sugawara and Ikuta Erika clasped their hands together, saluted the master's stone statue, and then chanted loudly: "Namo Master's All-Shine Vajra! Namo's Master All-Shine Vajra! Namo's Master All-Shine Vajra!"
After reciting, they saluted again, and the two quickly turned around and ran to another turning point. At the same time, the second group members, Akimoto Manatsu and Nojo Aimi, started from the stone statue and repeated the previous steps.
The four people visited the stone statue and the turning point repeatedly.
At first, the four people were quite energetic and shouted loudly.
After going back and forth twenty or thirty times, the sound gradually became fast and chaotic, like a tongue twister. "Master Namo's omniscient light on the Vajra" became a sentence that others could not hear clearly.
As he ran, Amamiya Shiori felt that his feet were almost losing feeling, and they became cold and icy, just like the boots had been soaked in snow in the dead of winter.
"Master Namo shines all over the Vajra!"
"Master Namo shines all over the Vajra!"
"Master Namo shines all over the Vajra!"
After 20 minutes, the body gradually sweated and became warm, and the upper body no longer felt particularly cold.
After 40 minutes, the four people had run more than 90 laps, and victory was in sight.
In the last dozen or so laps, they unconsciously speeded up.
Finally, after completing the last lap, the four of them knelt down in front of the stone statue, bowed for the last time, and completed the journey.
"Huh~~" Amamiya Shiori breathed a long sigh of relief. Her upper body was hot and her lower body was cold. She was now eager to take a hot bath.
Unfortunately, there is no hot water, but there is still a cold shower to take.
The girls had just finished exercising and had no energy to speak. They stood in a daze for a while.
The abbot had already set off with his disciples to wait at the waterfall.
After calming down for a while, the four of them went to wash their feet, put on mid-calf cotton socks and Crocs, and a down coat, and headed into the mountains.
In the golden autumn leaf forest, the girls walked along the mountain path paved with bamboo and wood. Soon they heard the roar of water.
If you usually travel, you will definitely find the environment here to be quiet and refreshing. But now the four of them have no intention of enjoying the scenery.
"I'll start first!" On the way, Amamiya Sori volunteered.
On the one hand, her mental age is the oldest among these people, so she cannot let the little girl take the lead; on the other hand, if she dies early and is reincarnated early, she can finish showering early, dry herself early, and put on warm clothes early.
Erika Ikuta grabbed her sleeves and grimaced.
Amamiya Shiori touched her head comfortingly.
"Then I... the second one will be better." Akimoto Manatsu said with difficulty.
"No, I'll do it! I'm second." Erika Ikuta bit her lower lip.
"Uh, okay, then I...then I'll be the third one." Akimoto Manatsu had to change his mind.
Looking at the waterfall from the side, he looked timid. Nojo Aimi, who was like a wooden figure, naturally came to the end of the queue.
After turning along the path, the destination appeared in front of everyone.
The stream flows down the rocks, forming a waterfall with a height of about 20 meters, and converges into a shallow pool at the foot of the mountain.
As they walked closer step by step, the girls screamed "unreasonably" and "unreasonably".
Amamiya Suga was secretly cursing the program planner who came up with this bad idea. Isn’t it good to have thrilling prayers? If you insist on doing this type of suffering, what if the little girls get sick?
"Um, I have a question?" Standing in front of the pool, like a prisoner before execution, Amamiya Sori asked the abbot.
"Excuse me." The abbot responded with a smile.
"What's the temperature of the water in the waterfall right now?"
The abbot put his hand into the water and felt it, "About 0 to 5 degrees. It is usually within this range during this season. In summer, the temperature will be higher, but it is still around 10 degrees."
Amamiya Suga swallowed, it was as if the abbot had not said anything.
"Do you have any other questions?"
"No more." Amamiya Sōri grimaced and shook his head.
