Chapter 36: it's dark

Japan's forest coverage rate is one of the highest in the world, reaching 64%, and it has never been commercialized in China. Wood is almost entirely dependent on imports.
Along the path into the mountain, Li Xuehao was quite emotional, with dense trees and birds and flowers everywhere. Just like the virgin forest that no one had ever seen, everything seemed so harmonious.
Although Yokohama is the third largest city in Japan and its population is second only to Tokyo, in this cosmopolitan city, the forest still maintains its original size.
Baifeng Shrine is at his destination for the mountain.
However, this Baifeng Shrine is not a white mountain shrine that worships Emperor Chongde in Kyoto’s Shangjing District. It is a small shrine. Although I don’t know if the purpose of the original construction was to simulate the positive Baifeng Shrine sacrificed to Emperor Zongde, I want to follow Tengu must be related.
Because the Emperor Zongde is the leader of all the legends of the Tengu.
It is said that in the chaos of the Yuan Dynasty, the Emperor Zongde was exiled to praise, writing Buddhist scriptures to heaven, but did not receive a response. So I made a big wish, and I am willing to be the big devil, disturbing the world. Then do not eat or sleep, resentful and die, dead like a night fork. The grievances became the Tengu, and they were in chaos.
This is the original origin of Tengu.
Li Xuehao has the memory of the original body. It is clear that this Baifeng Shrine, which is also famous in Yokohama City, has heard all kinds of rumors, but it is the first time to go here personally.
Baifeng Shrine is on the mountainside.
It seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and there are traces of mottled erosion everywhere. Standing in front of the tori of the shrine, this is Li Xuehao’s first impression of the Baifeng Shrine.
Passing through the Tori, entering the "God World" and embarking on a long step, is also an impressive "historical trace."
Surrounded by weeds, bricks and ruptures, and sometimes one or two wild cats can quickly penetrate into the thick grass.
After walking the steps, come to the main temple of the shrine.
The pool used for the "clean body" at the entrance has already dried up, and it is full of weeds. The guardian beasts on both sides can hardly see the original look, just like two unfinished stone carvings.
No matter how you look at it, this Baifeng Shrine is not abandoned for three years, but it has been abandoned for three hundred years.
Li Xuehao is hesitant in his heart. There are many rumors about this shrine. The most famous one is that there are dogs.
There were monks presided over before the shrine, but on a night three years ago, the monks died all night.
The results of the official investigation are not known, but afterwards, the rumors about the presence of the dog in the shrine are so dusty, the timid people simply do not dare to approach the shrine.
Li Xuehao couldn't guess why Suzuki Minazi wanted to use this as a venue for community activities, but she could also detect some faintness. Perhaps the reason she did it was to let him and Yamamoto take a look at it and see that only What is stored in the rumor?
Standing in front of the main temple for a while, Li Xuehao heard the voice from the torii under the steps. He did not deliberately listen, but he also knew that it was Yamamoto.
Move a few steps to the front of the steps, and sure enough, see the Yamamoto Ryotai people are taking steps.
Yamamoto Ryota and Saito ash are in front of each other, followed by Suzuki Minako, Hisakawa Sakae and Chiba Mika.
One of the most eye-catching is the fact that Chiba is beautiful. She is dressed in a tailored witch costume, which is very similar to Kendo’s Kendo suit.
Holding the coin, the face looks very solemn and solemn, which is very inconsistent with her previous image of a small bag.
The so-called coin, is the shape of a wooden stick wrapped with "Zigzag" paper, usually a wooden pole hanging down 2 pieces of paper, also has 2, 4, 8 pieces of paper, basically all white .
Because the pronunciations of "paper" and "god" in Japanese are the same, they are all "kami", and the white paper is white and innocent, and is regarded as "the power of the gods."
The royal coins are used to worship in front of the gods, and can also be used to demonize, of course, for prayer and cleaning.
When used, it is generally swung back and forth in the direction of "left and right left", and it is also fixed directly in one place.
Li Xuehao is curious that Chiba Mijia is dressed as a witch and looks very professional. Is she originally a witch? Looking back carefully, it seems that when he and Yamamoto were staying in the old school building for the first time, he gave himself a charm, saying that he was seeking from Chiba Shrine. Is there any relationship between this Chiba Shinto and Chiba Mika?
This is temporarily unrecognizable. Yamamoto Ryota under the steps has already discovered him at this time and is greeting him loudly: "Good morning, really."
"Good morning!" Li Xuehao responded with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to come earlier than us. I just didn't see you when I met with the minister at the Torii. I thought you wouldn't come. Or the minister said, you may have come up, and the minister is really wise." Yamamoto is too big to shoot. Flattering.
Suzuki Mina's face was calm, and she did not move around in a hurry. She greeted Li Xuehao faintly: "True, good morning."
"Good morning, senior." Li Xuehao also responded politely. Today, everyone did not wear school uniforms, just wearing ordinary casual wear.
Suzuki Mina is wearing a pair of tight-fitting black jeans, her legs are still so slender, and the white t-shirt on the upper body is covered with a pink sportswear. Because the neckline is low, she can see her inside. White t-shirt.
On the feet is a pair of sneakers that look like a morning girl with a youthful youthful look. The black hair with long waist and waist is tied with a ribbon and it is clean and neat behind.
After several people greeted each other, Suzuki Minako began to say: "I believe everyone has heard of the rumors of Baifeng Shrine before coming. What I want to say is that those rumors are not necessarily rumors, it is very likely that it is true. Even if there is no Tengu, there must be something else in it, so..."
Speaking of this, Suzuki Minazi paused and looked at Li Xuehao and Yamamoto Ryo: "True, Yamamoto."
"Yes." The two responded.
"Wait if there is any unexpected situation, if I am not by your side, you can follow behind Chiba, remember, you must follow Chiba!"
On the side of Chiba Mijia's small face was solemn, watching the two gently "snap" a voice to show that they would protect them.
Li Xuehao nodded thoughtfully. Among these people, except that he is hidden, Suzuki Minako and Chiba Mika should be regarded as people who have contacted such things.
I have seen the compass on Suzuki Mina's body before, and Chiba Mika has no such thing as a compass, but the coin in her hand, although there is no aura, there are some special things in it, although not It’s a little more powerful, but it’s much better than the three ordinary people like Yamamoto Ryota, Saito geki and Kyukawa.
Yamamoto is too nervous to look at Suzuki Minako, perhaps by her statement: "Minister, what is there? Is it a ghost?"
"Do you know why our community is called a "spiritual society"?" Suzuki Minazi looked at him without asking.
Yamamoto is shaking his head too.

The ‘spiritual society’ is just an abbreviation. The full name is ‘the ultimate research society for spiritual events.’ From the name, you should know that the purpose of our society is to study various spiritual events, including ghosts.

"Here... is there really a ghost?" Yamamoto is too flustered. Compared with the legendary big monster whose rumor is more than the truth, he is more afraid of the ghost that may exist beside him.
"Okay, don't be so scared, there is a minister, even if there is a ghost, you can't be confused." On the side, Saito patted his shoulders gray.
Yamamoto Ryota has finally had such a bit of courage. Of course, it’s not because of the sentence of Saito’s gray, but that it’s a big day, and that the ghost doesn’t necessarily exist. It’s probably never Have you ever existed?
Next, Suzuki Minako led the team and several people entered the main hall of the shrine.
The main hall has a wide space, almost no trace of debris, no statues, no cards, and like someone has been cleaned all the year round, the floor is clean and bright, just like new.
It looks like a wilderness outside, but it is like a person who lives all the year round. This strange scene makes people feel a sense of horror.
Suzuki Minazi looks solemn, she has taken the compass out and caught it.
Chiba Mika also danced the royal currency and muttered something in her mouth.
Yamamoto is too nervous, and he is estimated to be the most horrible in everyone's mind. No matter how you look at it, this main hall seems so abnormal.
"True." Close to Li Xuehao, Yamamoto was holding his clothes hem tightly and screaming low.
"Yeah." Li Xuehao gently sighed and did not open him.
He also felt weird in his heart. Although the gods could not cover the entire shrine, there was no hindrance in this main hall.
There is no such thing as there, but the floor is clean to such an extent. Is it because someone cleans it all the year round? However, there is no such thing as someone who has lived here. There is no point at all.
In this case, there seems to be only one reason to explain...
Li Xuehao looked around and found some clues in the corners of the main hall. It was a touch of smear that almost ignored the past.
But combining these scratches, Li Xuehao knows that this is a large array.
However, despite its large-scale array, its practicality is not large. Only one is to block the dust from the outside, and it can effectively clean the dust falling from the ceiling of the main hall and keep everything in the hall clean.
But for those really "dirty things", it has no effect, so it is said that it is a large-scale array method, in fact, even ordinary small spirits are not as good.
"The sky outside seems dark." Saito whispered suddenly and pointed at the sky outside the main entrance of the main hall.
"Is it going to rain?" Jiuchuan Qianhe, who was by his side, asked.
