Chapter 492: A Quest for the Mountains
An Yilun also brought good news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the travelogue blog of a mountaineer, he found the exact clue to the 'Izumo Shrine'.
Pictures are the most powerful evidence.
Seeing this picture, Xia Yu's doubts disappeared.
And......
It seems that this time it was really a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse. An Yilun also contacted the mountaineer for verification, so he confirmed the location of the 'Izumo Shrine', an unknown building in the mountains that Xia Yu is now nearing.
Mt. Tokachi is just one of the peaks of the mountain, and it is famous for being an active volcano that often feels tremors.
The location of the shrine is probably near Mt. Biei, another mountain mountain, but climbers can't tell you more specific coordinates.
The mountaineer said that even if he himself went up the snowy mountain, it would be difficult to find the shrine.
However, Xia Yu still got some clues.
"Is it between Mt. Biei and a few peaks to the north?"
With this clue, Xia Yu got into the sleeping bag.
Tonight, you have to recharge your batteries and pause your cooking practice.
Of course, the bear in the evening sounded the alarm bell for Xia Yu, and he deliberately set a trap near the camp before going to bed, although I don't know if it is useful, but psychological comfort is very necessary, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep all night.
Following.
The sky was faintly bright, and the forest was shrouded in mist.
The woodbirds chirped, and their voices rang far away in the silent wilderness.
Xia Yu got up, put away the sleeping bag and various camping equipment, and put it back in the jeep, Tang Yuqiong and he woke up almost at the same time, the time was about six o'clock to be exact, the two had nothing to say, each in the camping clearing, boxing, exercise.
An hour later, after breakfast, Xia Yu did not set a hunting trap last night, only a defensive trap, so in the morning, the two of them could only eat canned food and no game.
"Boom ......"
The jeep walked on the gravel mountain, and gradually reached the foot of the snow-capped mountain, the terrain went up, the jeep began to climb, Xia Yu drove a little more force and stepped on the accelerator, and the sound of the car engine was very harsh.
Tang Yuqiong got off the bus at the refuge hut.
"Goodbye!"
Xia Yu waved to her from the car, and then, without making any stops, drove the jeep across the bare mountains covered with black volcanic ash.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Xia Yu arrived in another mountain area that was completely different from the volcanic area.
The vegetation here is dense, and the place where you can see is a dense mountain forest, Xia Yu cut down a lot of branches with a knife, hid the jeep, and marked all the way on the nearby stones and trees, and the mobile phone map navigation was also zoomed to the maximum, and marked, and then he put on his back a sleeping bag, a tent, and a pair of standard mountaineer's equipment, and officially went up the mountain!
On the first day, Xia Yu only walked 10 kilometers of mountain roads, and stopped at the halfway point of Mount Biei in the evening to set up a tent and rest early.
The next day, he successfully climbed Mount Biei at an altitude of 2,000 meters, standing on the top of the mist-shrouded peak, looking at the mountain and yielding no gains, so Xia Yu could only go down the mountain and prepare to conquer another mountain at an altitude of 2,000 meters to the north. On this day, he walked 15 kilometers of mountain road, twists and turns, and exhausted his strength on the ridge road without any shelter.
Day 3......
"Whoa-la-"
Hiding in the tent, Xia Yu was trembling.
Suddenly, it rained heavily in the mountains.
At this time, listening to the cacophony of the clatter of the gravel rolling down the mountain, Xia Yu secretly admired his wit!
The mountains are afraid of sudden weather, and then, in the event of bad disasters, such as mudslides or something, so you must be cautious when camping, Xia Yu searched for a shallow cave, although the cave is only a few meters deep, the space is enough to set up a tent.
So, hiding in a cave, the torrential rain is isolated, and the rocks rolling down the mountain can't hit people, let alone be swallowed by the mudslide. Xia Yu sat and watched the vast mountain scenery in the rain.
It took a long time for the rain to stop completely, and the heavy rain must have made the mountain road muddy and slippery, Xia Yu decided to rest for a day before leaving, anyway, he could communicate with the kitchen god space and practice cooking, and he didn't have to sit dry.
The sky cleared.
The sunlight was able to break through the clouds and cast on the mountain, Xia Yu stretched his waist, but his vision suddenly flashed with a flash of light, this light was like a mirror reflection, and he couldn't help but squint.
After a while, the flash disappeared completely, but Xia Yu remembered that direction, "Is there anyone......?"
On the fourth day of entering the mountain, Xia Yu looked for it in this direction.
Road!
Pushing aside the layers of branches and leaves, a clean stone path, along the not too steep hillside all the way up, Xia Yu's heart jumped, stopped at the bottom, and took out a photo of his mobile phone.
"That's it!"
After comparison, he exclaimed in surprise.
The mountaineer found the shrine in winter, but it was late autumn and the mountains were full of vegetation, and Xia Yu looked up, but there was no shrine building.
Climb the ladder.
Syllable. Stepping up the last step, the view suddenly opens up, this is a hill platform in the group of peaks, inconspicuous, but there is a deep pool on the mountain, surrounded by wisps of ice mist.
The surface of the pool is like a mirror, the sun is shining directly overhead, and the light is reflected, Xia Yu squinted his eyes, and he realized something in his heart.
It seems that the light he saw after the rain yesterday is very likely to come from this.
Looking ahead, there is the main shrine hall and several small cabins of the ancient Italian forest.
The plaque of 'Izumo Society' is so conspicuous.
"Anyone?"
Xia Yu quickened his pace and shouted at the same time.
The voice spread, but there was no response for a while.
No one?
He stopped outside the main hall and looked inside, slightly shocked to the spotless wooden floor inside, but there was nothing but a moss-covered stone shrine.
This shrine is a miniature version of the main shrine hall.
Bang!
Taking off his heavy backpack, Xia Yu looked here and there, and saw that the shrine had no dust, and it was cleaned inside and out, and there were no dead branches and leaves, so he frowned: "There shouldn't be no one!"
"Well, there is one. ”
A voice replied coldly.
Hey!
Xia Yu reflexively turned his head and saw a man with unkempt hair standing at the temple gate.
"Hello. He bowed slightly, "Are you the master of this room?"
"I'm not. ”
"I'm just like you. ”
"Huh?"
The man came lazily, he first bowed seriously to the shrine, and then looked at Xia Yu playfully, "I came here and suffered a lot, right?"
Without waiting for Xia Yu to answer, he sighed to himself: "When I came here ten years ago, it seemed to be similar to you. ”
"But now, I willingly want to stay here, to be a monk with a pure heart and few desires, hehe, only for the soul, and I will not treat myself badly when it comes to eating. ”
Xia Yu pursed her lips.
"How do I find my hunting target?"
"It's-"
The man pointed to the shrine, "Pay tribute to it!"
"Nagon?"
Xia Yu was shocked, but he was not at a loss.
Youkai and the like have seen it, and he has all kinds of expectations for Izumo Shrine.
"Anything!"
"Dishes, utensils, ingredients, ......"
