——[The days spent in spiritual cultivation on the mountain were generally quite dull, studying the scriptures, practicing spiritual power, training in archery, learning herbal knowledge, and additionally, the Early Rice Shrine Maiden had traveled in her youth and acquired a wealth of miscellaneous knowledge, which she passed down. Nagato Tsuruko was learning quickly. In the blink of an eye, she had been cultivating on the mountain for over a year. It was almost time for New Year blessings again, and the villagers of Zaodao Village began preparing to climb the mountain for blessings. This time, the Early Rice Shrine Maiden planned to let Nagato Tsuruko preside over the event.]
