When Chen Zhi and the others arrived at their destination, it was already past noon, and when they arrived at Nasu Town, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

Chen Zhi before had repeatedly imagined the appearance of this ancient town, and always associated this town with the mysterious and closed fox village before, thinking that this ancient town must be a closed town full of strange atmosphere.

But when they came here, the reality was completely different from what they imagined, although this town is located in the middle of nowhere, but what they saw in front of them was a large commercial street, full of colorful billboards, all kinds of shops, stalls on a dazzling array of goods, everywhere the eyes looked, endless crowds, this town, the whole is a vibrant Japanese folk culture town.

The town is full of shadows of Japanese traditions, like a big temple fair, and it is very lively. Many shops have illuminated billboards in front of their doors, with cartoon portraits of sexy-clad nine-tailed fox fairies and onmyoji Ampei Harumi, and Lao Yu tells them that the signs around the town are written in Japanese about the legend before Ampei Harumi sealed Tamamo. In front of some shops, girls dressed up as nine-tailed fox fairies are found to attract customers.

Most of the people on the street are dressed in kimonos, some women are dressed in bright clothes, shaking small Japanese fans, some children in kimonos are running around the streets, young students are eating takoyaki with great interest, there are vendors selling balloons and marshmallows, and traditional Japanese street games such as ring rings and "goldfish fishing". The whole town is a bustling and lively scene.

"This..., it's not mysterious!" Fat Wei said with a long mouth, and then he was speechless.

Chen Zhi didn't say anything, and walked into the commercial street with a heavy travel bag and a few people. He saw that the stalls around him were basically selling souvenirs of fox fairies or ampere qingming, with fans; dolls, as well as key chains, and even a killing stone chocolate. It seems that, as Lao Yu said, the people in this town make a living from the tourism brought by this legend.

A few of them walked around the shopping street and didn't see any hotels in town. Chen Zhi walked to the front of a stall at this time, and the stall was full of puppets and fans, and the fan was painted with a Japanese woman dressed in costume with several fox tails behind her, which was probably a portrait of Tamamo. The stall owner was a middle-aged Japanese man, and when he saw Chen Zhi and several people coming over, he enthusiastically introduced his goods to them.

Only the elder Yu in the team knew Japanese, so he served as the interpreter.

"Old Uncle Yu, ask him, where is the mountain in front of the legendary Ampei Qingming sealing Yuzao?" Chen Zhi said to Lao Yu.

Lao Yu chatted with the middle-aged Japanese for a while, and the man suddenly turned his head to Chen Zhi, then smiled mysteriously, and said in jerky Chinese: "A few friends are looking for killing stones, right?" ”

"Oh! This... Yes" Fat Wei was suddenly stopped and replied, "Do you know where the killing stone is?" ”

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, and said to Fat Wei with a mysterious face: "The Killing Stone is the heirloom of our Nasu Town, it is very precious, and if you want to see it, you have to pay a price."

"At what cost? You say come and listen" Fat Wei forgot for a moment that he couldn't understand Chinese and asked directly.

The man didn't listen carefully to Fat Wei's words, but said "big price" again in his mouth, then turned around and shouted a Japanese word into the back of the stall, which sounded like shouting "Mom".

"What do you mean? Does he know where the Killing Stone is? It can't be! Chen Zhi looked up and down at this Japanese man speechlessly, wearing a broken straw hat, dark all over, and didn't see anything special.

At this time, out of the store came an old Japanese lady, who was almost old, with deep wrinkles on her face, messy white hair, wearing a half-worn suit, and stepping on two clogs.

The middle-aged man explained a few words to the old lady in Japanese, and then turned around and asked Fat Wei in jerky Chinese: "Are you willing to pay the price?" If you'd like, I'll take you to see the precious Killing Stone. ”

"Hey, I'll go! At what cost? Then go and see it! Fat Wei seemed to think it was funny, and replied with a sigh.

At this time, the old Japanese lady turned around, looked at Chen Zhi's team with cloudy eyes, looked around again, waved her hand, and made a "go" gesture. Turning, "Da! Da! Da! He walked briskly towards the town.

Chen Zhi and a few people immediately followed her, and everyone was confused at this time, so they had to follow and take a look. They found that the old lady, although she was old, had a strong physique, and her two little feet wore clogs, and she walked quickly.

"I said Lao Yu, you should ask her, she really knows where the killing stone is? Isn't it reliable? Fat Wei said as he walked.

Before Lao Yu could ask, he heard the old lady suddenly say in broken Chinese, "The killing stone is a treasure, only I know where it is, but you have to pay the price", and stretched out a finger after speaking.

"What do you mean? You want to chop off our fingers? Chen Zhi suddenly felt that this matter was too ridiculous, but since they had all followed here, and they couldn't find a hotel for the time being, it wouldn't hurt to follow the old lady to have a look first.

The old lady soon walked out of the bustling shopping street and into the back of the town, where there were much fewer people and could see the green hills against which the town was backed.

There are many traditional Japanese houses, all with a strong Japanese style, with Japanese-style courtyards, and the old lady brought them into one of the courtyards.

This is supposed to be the old lady's home, but from the outside, it looks more like a homestay. The structure of the house is simple, consisting of three parts: floor, pillars and roof, and there is a corridor under the extended eaves, which Chen Zhi has seen on TV, which is called Shidai in Japan, for people to cool off or take a nap. The interior of the room is separated by sliding doors, which makes it appear spacious.

The old lady asked them to sit down on the table first, and walked in by herself, and after a while the old lady came out and brought them tea and some Japanese sweets.

Chen Zhi didn't have the heart to eat pastries, and said to Lao Yu: "You help me ask this old lady, the location of the killing stone is far away?" If it's far away, let's find a place to settle down and set off tomorrow. ”

Lao Yu translated with the old lady according to Chen Zhi's words, and the old lady replied in Japanese.

At this time, Lao Yu turned around and said to Chen Zhi: "The old lady said, it's not far, and there is no need to leave tomorrow, the killing stone is in her yard." ”
