Extra: Remnant Sakura (1)
Hokkaido, also known as Hokkaido Island, is part of the Japanese archipelago, an island at the northern tip of Japan, and the second largest island in Japan.
The number of tourists who come here every year has even caught up with the total number of local aborigines, and if it were not for the old grievances between China and Japan, this place could really be called a paradise on earth.
However, 200 years ago, due to climate and transportation, there may not have been a single person in many places for thousands of years.
It is for this reason that many of Hokkaido's pristine jungles and islands have not been visited to this day.
This kind of thing is extremely rare and unreasonable in Japan, where every inch of land is at a premium.
But it seems that the Japanese government does not intend to develop the area, but rather leaves it as it is, which is very puzzling.
In the northernmost part of Hokkaido, there is an unnamed island with a radius of about 20 kilometers, which was once settled by some islanders, but in 1987, a volcano erupted on the island, and it is said that more than 300 people on the island did not survive.
Later, for this reason, the government completely closed off the entire island, and the Maritime Public Security Department often patrols the island, prohibiting any fishing boats from approaching the island.
Nature's ability to regulate is beyond the reach of humans, and more than 30 years later, there are no traces of human beings here.
Tall trees have obscured all the buildings on the ground.
Under the wind and sun, the two-story pavilion built by the aborigines has already collapsed by this time.
On the surface, it seems like a forgotten place that has disappeared into human history.
However, just in the deepest part of the island is a canyon, and both sides of the valley are shaded by dense forests.
Because it is surrounded by high mountains, it is only at noon that the sun is able to penetrate the canyon and reach the valley floor.
There is a gurgling water in the valley, there are several hot springs, and in the dense forest on the mountain, there are a few bird cries from time to time, and all kinds of wild beasts play and frolic here, this is their paradise and their last pure land.
In the middle of the canyon, there are several antique wooden old pavilions, the brass wind chimes on the pavilions are jingled by the wind blowing from the mountain stream, everything looks so quiet and beautiful...
I don't know when, I only heard a "bang", and the wooden door of the two-person high temple actually opened by itself without anyone touching it.
Outside the hall, suddenly there was a bloody breath, this smell was very strong, suddenly, the birds and beasts in the valley were frightened, the sky was full of birds flying wildly, and the harmony of nature was completely broken at this moment.
When the bloody aura gradually dissipated, a man in a black robe stood outside the hall, his head hanging down, unable to see his face at all.
The black-robed man had been standing outside the hall like this, as if waiting for something.
I don't know how long later, a girl's voice came from the main hall: "Come in......"
When the black-robed man heard this voice, his body shook slightly, and he hurriedly came to the door and took off his clogs, and walked into the hall with light steps.
Countless candles were lit in the main hall, and the candlelight flickered, illuminating the light and shadow in the hall flickering.
The whole hall does not look as imposing as a Chinese palace, and through the candle flames, you can see that the surrounding walls are painted with colorful murals.
The frescoes depict strange rituals, most of which are sacrificed to the living.
Although these are just ordinary murals, they look so real, as if the people inside are all alive in front of them, and even their screams and wails can be heard.
In the center of the main hall, there is a statue, judging from the costume of the statue, it should be the Japanese onmyoji, the founder of the earth gate - Ampei Harumi.
The entire hall was empty except for the black-robed man, and there was a dead silence.
The black-robed man seemed to be very familiar with this place, he bowed and went straight to the statue of Abe Qingqing, knelt down respectfully, and then fell to the ground with his hands on the ground.
While kowtowing to the black-robed mantra, he also chanted a low Gu Dongying mantra in his mouth, the lengthy mantra seemed to be praying for blessings, and it seemed to be calling something.
With the spell of the black-robed man sounding, the candle flame of the entire hall suddenly flickered, the flames jumped more than ten centimeters high, and the flames also turned into a strange green, illuminating the entire hall eerie and terrifying, making people's backs chill.
This process lasted for a full five minutes, and as the black-robed man stopped chanting the incantation, the dancing flames in the hall returned to normal again.
The black-robed man got up from the ground, and after saluting the statue again, he bowed his body, turned his head towards the statue, and cautiously withdrew from the main hall, walking towards the side hall...
The road leading to the side hall of the main hall is a small wooden bridge, and under the bridge is full of gurgling spring water, and the hot water in the spring is steaming, and I didn't think that this place is actually a hot spring!
After walking about a hundred steps, the black-robed man finally came to the side hall, which had a slight human touch compared to the main hall in front of him.
There are no strange murals on the walls around the side hall, instead there are layers of silk wall curtains, and in the middle of the side hall, there is a large pool, the pool is connected with the hot springs outside, and when you enter the hall, there is a sound of playing in the water.
Through the layers of curtains, only two white jade-like arms can be seen in the curtains, which are resting on the edge of the pool, presumably this person is the girl who called the black-robed man into the temple just now.
Although I couldn't see her face clearly, through the voice just now and the wonderful figure in front of me, I guess the girl's appearance would not be much worse.
Seeing that the girl was soaking in the hot spring, the black-robed man quickly turned around and stood respectfully in front of the hall and waited quietly. . .
The girl who was soaking in the spring water didn't seem to shy away from this, and when she noticed that the black-robed man was coming, she actually stood up directly, and suddenly, large droplets of water slowly slipped from her snow-white skin and dripped back into the water.
Because of the dim light, it was impossible to see her face, and after a while, the girl shook the drops of water from her hair before she lifted her legs and walked out of the water......
Standing at the water's edge, I saw the girl's fingers move slightly, and after a while, two girls in kimonos came out of the darkness, and the faces of the two girls were also extremely beautiful, and even their appearance was almost the same, and it looked like they should be the maids of the girls in the hot springs.
Although the two maids are beautiful, they look expressionless, there is no blood under the snow-white complexion, and there is no temperature on their bodies...
