Chapter 175: Entering the Ruins
Mt. Fuji is one of the largest active volcanoes in the world.
The last eruption of Mt. Fuji was in 1707, and since then it has been dormant ever since, and although the volcano is currently dormant for more than 200 years, geologists around the world still classify it as an active volcano, because the geology under Mt. Fuji is very active and may erupt at any time.
Mt. Fuji is known as "Mt. Seidake" by the Japanese people, and is a symbol of the Japanese nation, as it is often associated with various myths and legends in Japan.
Because Mt. Fuji is extremely worshipped in Japan, this active volcanic peak is known worldwide.
Because of the importance of Mt. Fuji in the hearts of the Japanese, it has also been given other names by some historical figures, such as "Furong Peak" or "Mt. Fuji" and "Fuji Kaolin", which are all nicknames given to this mountain by famous people in Japanese history.
Because of its importance, Mt. Fuji has been mentioned in many ancient Japanese poetic documents, which means that since ancient times, the name of the mountain has often appeared in traditional Japanese poetry, as well as in "waka".
At the northern foot of Mt. Fuji is the Fuji Five Lakes, which are remembered by all Japanese people along with Mt. Fuji.
From east to west, Lake Yamanaka, Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Saiko, Lake Shoji, and Lake Motosu are located.
Lake Yamanaka is the largest, with an area of 6.75 square kilometers.
There are also 8 ponds in the southeast of the lake, including the Tsuichi Pond and the Kagami Pond, which are collectively known as "Oshino Hakkai".
The deepest water of Motosu Lake is 126 meters, and the surface of the lake does not freeze all year round, and the water of the lake is dark blue, revealing an unfathomable mystery. Often referred to by locals as 'Holy Water Lake', 'the cleanest tears'.
And Motosu Lake is also the destination that Chi Shang is going to this time, he learned from that Minamiki Masao that the exit is to the west of Motosu Lake, and he just figured out Guò to enter the underground ruins, because the place on the way may be a trap of time and space confusion. Masao Minamiki himself doesn't know where he is.
Otowa Town is still some distance from Mt. Fuji, so it took the three of them nearly a day to reach Lake Motosu at the foot of Mt. Fuji, mainly because there are not many good roads there at all, and the last part of the distance is completely on their feet.
"Whew"
Gently wiping the fine sweat on his forehead, Chi Shang sincerely looked at the Benqi Lake in front of him that was not frozen in winter, and sure enough, it was the same as the book introduced, silent and deep blue, giving people a particularly peaceful feeling, as if the lake was hiding this endless secret. You can't help but want to explore.
After looking at the tranquil Lake Motosu for a while and calming down, Chi Shang Shinyi began to look for the underwater cave on the shore that Masao Minamiki had mentioned.
After looking around with his eyes, Chi Shang Zhenyi finally identified a direction, and then he began to walk along the lake in this direction, checking the past with his spiritual power all the way, not letting go of the slightest subtleties, and soon he used his spiritual power to find the hidden underwater cave.
After careful probing a few times. Chi Shang Zhenyi finally determined that the cave was the underwater cave that Nanmu Masao said, and he wanted to go down immediately.
Chi Shang Zhenyi turned back to the two subordinates and ordered, "Yagoro; You two stay outside, I'll go down by myself, I don't know what's going on inside, and if there's any danger, I might not be able to take care of you. ”
"My lord, this is not good, I don't know what danger is down here. If there is really something, even if the subordinates can't help the adults, it can also help the adults resist the delay, so please be sure to bring the two of your subordinates, otherwise the subordinates will not rest assured that the adults will go down by themselves. ”
After saying that, Yagoro and Miura Castle knelt down. That was obviously the point of going along.
Chi Shang Zhenyi looked at the two subordinates who knelt down, and felt quite comfortable in his heart, such subordinates are worth reusing, no matter what their ability is, just by virtue of the loyalty of the two, it is enough for him to pay attention to it, which makes him know why many officials like nepotism, because they can rest assured.
The reason why Chi Shang Zhenyi wanted to go down by himself just now was that he was afraid that there would be any danger inside, and if there was any emergency with the skills of the two of them, he was afraid that something would happen, but now it seems that he is wrong, because he forgot that his servants and subordinates in Japan are proud of the sacrifice of their master and their deaths.
After figuring out the key, Chi Shang agreed to Yagoro and Miura Castle's request to follow him, so that the two of them would have a chance to fight for their deaths.
It was pitch black under the cold lake, and the three of Chi Shang Zhenyi sank quickly as soon as they got into the water, but because the three of them released their own energy out of their bodies, all of these cold lakes surrounded the three of them, and none of them could get close, and there seemed to be an invisible membrane around the bodies of the three people to drain the lake water.
According to the guidance of spiritual power, Chi Shang Zhenyi quickly found the hidden underwater cave, and he immediately took Yagoro and Miura Castle over.
Drilling into the cave, Chi Shang Zhenyi found that there was really no trace of water here, the entrance of the cave seemed to be another layer of invisible diaphragm blocking the water, and there were bursts of faint light in the cave, making the cave not dark, and you could see the surrounding environment clearly.
For such a situation, Chi Shang really knew that it was the reason for the formation, because only the formation would have such an effect.
"It's interesting, the formation that can maintain operation for so long, it seems that this underground ruin is definitely not simple. ”
Chi Shang walked along the cave, and soon found a stone door, according to Nanki Masao said very well, follow this stone gate to reach the hall, immediately he pushed open this stone door, and walked in with Yagoro and Miura Castle.
As soon as he entered the stone gate, Chi Shang Zhenyi felt a change of light and shadow in front of him, and when he could see things clearly, he found that he was already in a corridor.
As for the change of time just now, Chi Shang Zhenyi also had a guess in his heart, he guessed that he had just passed the guò teleportation array, and immediately he looked back and found that there was indeed no stone gate behind him.
This made Chi Shang Zhenyi know that he should have really sat in the legendary teleportation array just now, and whether his current position was still at the foot of Mount Fuji, he himself was not sure, which made him have some worries about his expedition to the ruins.
After calming down his mind, Chi Shang Zhenyi began to take in a lot of the surrounding scenery, and he found that the traces of artificial construction of this corridor were very obvious, and the entire corridor was completely paved with bluestone.
After walking along the corridor for a while, Chi Shang Zhenyi found that something was wrong, because according to what Nanki Masao told him at the beginning, this corridor was not long, and he only walked for less than five minutes before coming out, and now he and Yagoro and the three of Miura Castle had walked for nearly five minutes after entering the stone gate, but they had not seen the exit.
Regarding this secret passage, Chi Shang Zhenyi did not suspect that Nanmu Masao deceived him, because he believed that he would not see the wrong person, and the reason why he couldn't get to the end now was that he guessed that it was caused by the formation.
And Chi Shang really knew that the pit that Nanmu Masao fell into was not the right way, and the road he was taking now should be the right way, otherwise there was no reason for these formations to be arranged like this.
Just when Chi Shang was really thinking about the strangeness of this road, there was a sudden rumbling sound behind him, and when he turned around, he found that the back road had been blocked by a huge bluestone, and there was no way to retreat, and he knew that he was in trouble this time.
Seeing that the retreat was sealed, Yagoro asked with some concern, "What should I do now, my lord, can you destroy this stone gate?"
In response to Yagoro's question, Chi Shang Zhenyi did not answer immediately, but used his hand to stroke the big bluestone that blocked the retreat of several people, carefully stroked it, and seriously felt the carving on it.
Tong Guò stroked it carefully with his hand, and Chi Shang Zhenyi quickly figured out the carved pattern on this bluestone.
The bluestone door is carved with runes, runes that Chi Shang really doesn't know, and Tong Guò senses it with his hands, and he found a thing, that is, the runes on this bluestone door are still running, which means that he can't destroy this stone door at all.
Chi Shang really didn't believe that the runes on it were painted and played, although he didn't know what these runes on the bluestone gate were for, but it would definitely not be useless to think about it, maybe he would lead to some mechanisms or something like that if he destroyed the stone gate.
After figuring out the stone gate, Chi Shang Zhenyi opened his mouth to answer Yagoro's question just now: "It can't be destroyed, this bluestone gate is not so simple, now we can only go forward, this corridor should have no way out, only when we really reach the ruins can we find a way out again." ”
"If you want to forcibly destroy the stone gate and exit, I guess the three of us will die here soon, and the road behind will not be easy, I estimate that we will soon encounter danger next, this time it is unknown whether the three of us can get out alive, be careful in the back." ”
Chi Shang's sincere words made Yagoro and Miura Castle a little surprised, they didn't expect that this time it would be so dangerous, and even their own adults were so pessimistic.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, your subordinates will do their best to protect your lordship. ”
"You two follow me carefully for the rest of the journey, and pay attention to yourself. ”
"Hi"
After finishing speaking, Chi Shang Zhenyi took Yagoro and Miura Castle and continued to walk forward, but the speed of the three of them was significantly slower.
This time, Chi Shang Zhenyi seemed to be much more careful, and he was no longer as relaxed as he was just now, because he knew that the next part of the road would definitely not be simple, but what he didn't expect was that after walking for nearly five minutes, the three of them actually came to the door and did not encounter any danger, which made him wonder if he had guessed wrong and thought about the originally simple things complicated.
