Chapter 471: Mt. Fuji, the Legend of the Holy Cherry Tree!
Mu Chen, Sakurako, and Haruka Ryose, the place to go is the highest peak of the island country, Mount Fuji.
Mt. Fuji is the symbol of the Yamato nation, but also one of the national symbols of the island country, enjoys a good reputation in the world, is praised as "Mt. Sheng" by the people of the island country, the mountain body is towering into the clouds, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, as far as the eye can see, it looks like a fan hanging upside down in the air, so it is also called "jade fan".
However, few people know that the name Fuji is actually derived from the Ezo language, which means "eternal life".
Mu Chen didn't know it at first, but he heard the system say it by chance, and he realized that Fuji still meant this.
"Sakurako has maintained her appearance for fifty years, and the five people of Yagyu Shiporo want to pursue immortality, isn't the immortality of Mount Fuji an ethereal legend?"
Mu Chen thought to himself.
The purpose of his trip to Mt. Fuji this time is self-evident, that is, to find clues and retrieve Sakurako's memory.
Maybe you won't get anything, but you have to go anyway, otherwise you won't be reconciled.
In addition, Mt. Fuji is known as the 'Sacred Mountain' by the islanders, and it is a world-famous scenic spot, so even if they can't find any useful clues, it can be regarded as a sightseeing trip to enjoy the natural beauty of Mt. Fuji.
The subway that Mu Chen and the three of them took departed from Shinjuku Station in Kyoto, took the JR Chuo Main Line Limited Express, took 40 minutes to Otsuki Station, and then the three of them transferred to the Fujikyuko Line and went all the way to Fuji Express Kawaguchiko Station, the whole line added up, about two hours.
When Mu Chen and the three arrived at the foot of Mount Fuji, it was already eleven o'clock at noon, and there were still a lot of tourists.
"It's not early, let's go eat first. Mu Chen proposed.
Sakurako and Haruka Ryose naturally had no objections, nodded happily, found a Japanese restaurant, and ate some local specialties of Mt. Fuji.
"Boss, it's our first time coming to Mt. Fuji, so I wonder if there are any special attractions on Mt. Fuji?" asked Mu Chen, who grabbed the owner of the Japanese restaurant while eating.
The people who come to eat in this restaurant are basically tourists who come for sightseeing, and as soon as they hear Mu Chen's words, they all immediately prick up their ears and listen carefully.
Seeing this, the boss immediately introduced with endless enthusiasm: "If you want to say that we have Mount Fuji, there are naturally many scenic spots, wherever you go, it is definitely a scenery worth seeing, such as the five dammed lakes at the northern foothills, in the mountains, estuary, west, Jingjin, Motosu, lakes and mountains, beautiful scenery, you can ski, fishing, Camping, boating, and the reflection of Mt. Fuji in Lake Kawaguchiko is one of the wonders of Mt. Fuji, and it is one of the wonders of Mt. Seidake, and it is a wonderful sight to see, and if you don't go, I promise you will regret it. ”
"And there are various parks, science museums, museums and various amusement places on the shores of the five lakes in the northern foothills, which are also worth visiting and seeing. ”
"In addition, in the southern foothills, there is a vast plateau area, green grass, herds of cattle and sheep, and it is a good tourist pasture. At the southwest foot of the mountain, there are also the famous white waterfall and Yinzhi waterfall, the sound is like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth, it is very spectacular. ”
"In addition, we have a safari park, a zoo, a fantasy travel hall, an insect museum, a botanical garden, a wild bird garden, and various sports and amusement venues. ”
Seeing that everyone was engrossed and listening very carefully, the owner of the Japanese restaurant suddenly felt enthusiastic and very excited.
He pretended to look around mysteriously, and after seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, he immediately said mysteriously: "Actually, if you really want to come to our Shengyue to see the scenery, then there is a place you must go. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped.
"Where?"
Mu Chen immediately gave him a little tip for his face, and asked very cooperatively.
"Of course, that's the most famous cherry blossom peak in our Shengyue!"
The owner of the Japanese restaurant put away the banknotes and said with a smile.
"In the island country, cherry blossoms can be seen everywhere, we have seen it a long time ago, this cherry blossom peak must be all cherry blossoms, it seems that there is nothing particularly strange and beautiful. A tourist next to him asked suspiciously.
The owner of the Japanese restaurant immediately shook his head, and his expression suddenly became very solemn and solemn: "That's because it's your first time here, you don't understand, this cherry blossom peak is a small holy mountain in our sacred mountain, located on the top of Mount Fuji, there are tens of thousands of cherry blossoms on the mountain, although it is covered with snow all year round, but the cherry blossom trees bloom almost all year round, never wither, this is one of its peculiarities." ”
"Second, on the cherry blossom peak, there is a very, very old cherry blossom tree, which has been at least two thousand years old and has never withered, even if it is every few tens or hundreds of years, the Shengyue will volcano erupt, the lava is everywhere, the earthquake is not stopped, it will not fall, it will never die, so we all respect it as the eternal holy cherry tree, it is the guardian saint of our Shengyue, and it is revered by everyone in a radius of hundreds of miles. ”
"Don't think I'm exaggerating, just talk nonsense, if you don't believe me, you can go out and ask other local people casually, as long as you mention the holy cherry tree, no one will dare to have the slightest disrespect and blasphemy towards the holy cherry tree. ”
"In addition, the holy cherry tree is very effective, as long as we sincerely pray to it and ask for its protection, it will basically fulfill our wishes, like if we have any diseases and calamities, just pray to it sincerely, it will save us from all disasters. ”
Therefore, our ancestors set the day when the first person prayed to it as a holy day to worship it, and when the time came, people from near and far would come to Mt. Fuji and go up to worship it in groups. It just so happens that tomorrow is a holy day, so if you have time, you can go and see it, and it is guaranteed to be very lively. ”
"This holy cherry blossom tree is really so effective, any wish can be fulfilled, it can't be fake, right?" Mu Chen said in surprise.
The others looked at the Japanese restaurant owner in disbelief as well.
The owner of the Japanese restaurant immediately got angry and said very unhappily: "That holy cherry blossom tree is our patron saint, and it has sheltered our ancestors for dozens of generations, how can it be fake." Sir, if you dare to question its sanctity, you are not welcome here, so please leave at once. ”
"And when the time comes, you will also be expelled by all the people of Mount Fuji, and no one will welcome you to us. The owner of the Japanese restaurant said to Mu with an unkind look.
Mu Chen was speechless, I just asked casually, don't be so serious.
Moreover, the owner of the Japanese restaurant said that the holy cherry blossom tree was so miraculous that he was about to praise it as an omnipotent immortal, so it was strange that he would believe it.
"Sakurako, what's wrong with you?
Mu Chen casually said a few perfunctory words to the owner of the Japanese restaurant, turned his head and saw Sakurako silently looking in the direction of the top of the mountain in a daze, as if he was in deep thought, and couldn't help asking.
Sakurako shook her head silently, looked at the owner of the Japanese restaurant, and asked gently, "Is the holy cherry blossom tree still as effective as before?"
The angry face of the Japanese restaurant owner changed, and he looked at her in amazement.
