Remember [ ] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Mt. Fuji (Japanese: Mount Fuji / ふじさん, English: , Fujiyama), is the highest mountain in Japan and one of Japan's important national symbols, straddling the active volcanoes of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, close to the Pacific coast, about 80 kilometers southwest of Tokyo.

Mt. Fuji is a symbol of the Japanese nation. As one of the national symbols of Japan, it is well-known around the world. It is also often referred to as "Hibiscus Peak" or "Fugaku" and "Fuji Kakuto". Since ancient times, the name of the mountain has often appeared in the traditional Japanese poem "waka".

The name Fuji is derived from the Ezo language, which means "eternal life". The original pronunciation comes from the language of the Ainu ethnic minority in Japan, and means "mountain of fire" or "god of fire".

It is said that the god visited the residence of the god of Mt. Fuji and asked to stay overnight, but was turned away by his master on the grounds that he was fasting. Later, the god of Mt. Tsukuba visited the god of Mt. Tsukuba and asked to stay overnight, and was welcomed. As a result, there has been a constant flow of people on Mt. Tsukuba, and Mt. Fuji has been punished by snow all year round.

Even so, Mt. Fuji remained the most important part of traditional Japanese culture, and until the Heian period, it was believed that the god of Mt. Fuji could determine the change of personnel in the imperial court the following year.

Japan believes in animism, and Mount Fuji is no exception.

At the summit of Mt. Fuji is the Mt. Fuji Hongu Asama Taisha Shrine, which is dedicated to the gods of Mt. Fuji. Therefore, the 3.85 million square meters of land above the 8th station of Mt. Fuji, excluding the trails and meteorological observation centers, belong to the shrine.

Mt. Fuji is surrounded by the "Eight Peaks of Fuji" such as Kenmine, Mt. Hakuyama, Mt. Kusushi, Mt. Ohichi, Mt. Izu, Mt. Seiki, Mt. Komagake, and Mt. Mitsugatake. At the northern foot are the Fuji Five Lakes, which are Lake Yamanaka, Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Saiko, Lake Shojin and Lake Motosu from east to west. The southern foot is a vast plateau area, with green grass and a tourist pasture for herds of cattle and sheep; At the southwest foot there are the famous Bai River Waterfall and Yinzhi Waterfall.

There are not many traditional parts of Mt. Fuji as a tourist destination, but there are still some parts that are still not open to the public.

It is these places that no one knows about that Ye will visit.

They first came to the Shirai Waterfall on Mt. Fuji.

This waterfall drops 26 meters, divides into more than 10 thin streams from the rock wall, seems to be countless white exercises falling from the sky, forming a rain curtain with a width of more than 130 meters, quite spectacular.

But—

When he saw the waterfall, Ye Yi's first reaction was: "Water Curtain Cave? ”

"Maybe it's true."

Zhan Haiting smiled and pointed to something behind the water curtain of the White Waterfall: "Does it feel a little familiar?" ”

"Suddenly I felt sick for no apparent reason." "This wonderfully uncomfortable feeling — could it be that there's something behind the curtain of the waterfall?" ”

"Something is working properly." "This is one of the most important places for Japanese mythology and religion. ”

"And how are we going to get in?"

Ye Yi looked around.

As one of Japan's most important landscapes, Shirae Falls is inevitably crowded with tourists.

Zhan Haiting smiled and said, "I'll take a look after dark." ”

"Why after dark?"

Ye Yi was a little surprised.

Zhan Haiting said: "Because certain things will only be born after dark, and killing them is our goal. ”

"Kill them ......"

Ye Yi was vaguely aware that she was about to face some extraordinarily ferocious life.

Zhan Haiting said to her gently: "Don't worry, no matter what awaits us in front of us, I will be by your side." ”

"I know, you'll always be there for me, like I'll always be by your side?"

"I've been with you for a lot longer than I thought."

Zhan Haiting said gently, with tenderness and sweetness.

Ye Yi accepted his tenderness.

Because all the tenderness of this man is what he says he will do.

He is different from everyone else in this world, he loves her and is willing to give everything for this love.

“…… Enjoy the scenery. Zhan Haiting said, "You won't see such scenery at night." ”

"What can I see at night?" Ye Yi asked.

Zhan Haiting smiled: "At night, you can see the most terrifying scenery that destroys this world, it is ten million times more terrifying than you imagined, but it is also more ferocious and terrifying than the world itself. ”

“…… Do you already know—"

Ye Yi was inexplicably frightened.

Zhan Haiting told her: "There is no need to be afraid of the future, the future is inevitable in our hands." ”

"I suddenly feel like you're hiding a lot of things from me," Ye said, "and you're a dishonest person. ”

"What kind of honesty do you want me to be with you?" Zhan Haiting asked rhetorically.

Ye Yi was stunned, and then said: "I hope we can go on through thick and thin, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is and no matter what kind of cruelty we will encounter in the future." ”

"Okay, let's go down together."

Zhan Haiting whispered, hugging Ye Yi's waist.

Ye Yi also quietly felt the warmth of the man.

She knew that as long as Zhan Haiting was still by her side, she would never be afraid or worried about the uncontrollable future.

Because—

"With you by my side, I have nothing to fear."

"Me too."

……

……

Before night falls, the scenery around Mt. Fuji changes subtly.

The setting sun on the snow-capped Mt. Fuji seems to give it a golden-red veil, but this layer of glittering yarn does not represent a glittering future.

This is the most terrifying time for all the cults that worship Mt. Fuji, which is also known as the time of the demon.

The Japanese hate the evening, believing that this is the most dangerous time of the day, when the demons will come out and the gods who shelter them will enter a period of weakness.

So, those who take the shelter of the sun will hide in it when the sun sets, but the monsters who use the darkness as a source of power suddenly come alive, and they fly wildly, in the dark caverns and endless fear.

We're about to get our world!

They cheered as if they were going to rule the future.

Ye Yi looked at the introduction of the moment of sealing the demon boringly, feeling a little ridiculous: "Why are ancient humans so afraid of the sun setting, the light brought by the sun is a minority in this world, and darkness is a more basic thing." ”

"Because a world without light is more likely to die," Zhan Haiting said, "After all, human beings rely on light to get basic food and clothing, and then have enough energy to study what is going on in this world." Fire is also important and extraordinary in the history of human civilization. ”

“…… So what are we going to do? ”

Ye could feel the dark forces that were getting closer.

Zhan Haiting smiled: "If you come, you will be safe." ”
