Chapter seven hundred and sixty-eight [enemy]
Miaoyan drove faster than Chen Xiaolian imagined, and the speed was never lower than 150. It took only more than two hours to drive to Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture, where Izumo Club is located.
But something strange is that no abnormality occurred during the two hours of the journey.
There are no landslides, no natural enemies, no monsters coming out to attack, and even no attacks from other game participants.
The two of them drove safely to the foot of the Izumo Dashe Mountain.
While Miao Yan was concentrating on driving, Chen Xiaolian was holding a mobile phone and flipping through a bunch of information about Japanese myths.
It was not until Miaoyan stopped the car in the parking lot that Chen Xiaolian put down his cell phone and opened the car door.
"It's really rare to be calm." Miao Yan looked at Chen Xiaolian: "What have you found?"
In this dungeon, the system gave too few tips, almost equal to not. Although Chen Xiaolian had nothing to be afraid of in terms of strength, it would always be no harm to know more about the dungeon.
"It's just a little bit." Chen Xiaolian nodded: "Simply put, it is just a story of the fight between foreign conquerors and native local snakes."
The two walked towards the main entrance of Izumoda Club, and what came towards us was a huge torii, followed by a narrow and long tree-lined avenue.
As he walked forward, Chen Xiaolian briefly introduced the information he had just searched.
In Japanese Shintoism, gods can be divided into two systems, namely the Tianjin God and the Guojin God.
Although the versions of each mythological story are different, and there are many confusions and even conflicts in it, the overall direction is the same, and it can be summarized in one sentence - the foreign Tianjin God defeated the indigenous Jin God and occupied this land.
The main gods of the sky, Gao Yusheng's Nest Sun God and Shen Sheng's Nest Sun God are the three first gods formed by heaven and earth. The place where they live is called Gao Tianyuan.
Then, a series of gods were born, until a sienaki and Izanami, who were also husband and wife, gave birth to a series of children, the most important of which were named Amaterasu, Tsukiyoshi, and Susanoma.
Amaterasu is the sun god, who governs the Takahara. Yuedu is the moon god, who governs the country of night. Susano-o is the destruction god, who governs the sea.
In the Japanese mythological system, these three gods are the most respected and the most powerful.
However, Susano, the destruction god who stayed in Takahara, did things wrong every day, which led to Amaterasu's fear and hid in the Iwado. The world lost its light and suddenly fell into darkness.
In order to restore the world to light, the other gods designed to deceive Amaterasu and exiled Susanoo.
Susano, who was exiled from Takahara, came to the world known as Aihara China and killed the famous monster Yamao Orochi.
His descendant, the Lord of the Great Power, became the ruler of Aihara China.
But one day, Amaterasu violated his former promise and sent his descendants Erer Yiming and Jianyu Thunder God to lead other gods to defeat the main god of the great power and occupy Aihara China.
In this mythological system, the Japanese Emperor is the direct descendant of Amaterasu and Eryiming.
"So, Susanoo and the great power lord are the Guojin God mentioned in the system. And Amaterasu and others are the Tianjin God?" Miao Yan nodded, and Chen Xiaolian tried to explain the information concisely. It is not difficult to understand: "We want to lift the seal of the Tianjin God and liberate the Guojin God?"
Today is Monday, and there are not many people and tourists visiting the shrine. They walk in groups of three or three, looking peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
"Yes." Chen Xiaolian nodded: "If the copy is indeed designed like the information I found, the seal here should be the great power."
Izumo Dashe, one of the oldest shrines in Japan, worships the main god who is the great power.
After passing through the tree-lined avenue, the temple of worship is after the last bronze torii.
And further back, passing through a building gate is the Kagura Hall of Izumoda Club.
only……
Until I walked here, there was still no abnormality.
Chen Xiaolian stood at the door of Kagura Hall, tilting his head to look at a straw knot hanging in front of him.
It is said to be a straw rope, but it looks thicker with the naked eye. It is completely beyond the ordinary people's concept of saying it is a "rope". Even a few people can't hold it together.
In front of the straw rope, tourists bow their heads, fold their hands together, and worship silently. There is a quiet and peaceful scene in the small square in front of the hall.
"Is that thing?" Miao Yan nudes her mouth at the straw rope: "What does it mean to unseal it... chop it up?"
"Impossible." Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "If it was really something like a seal, it would be impossible to put it in such a conspicuous position, and it would be too unsafe."
He glanced around, walked around the Kagura Temple, and continued to walk to the back: "Come with me."
Although it is known as one of the oldest shrines in Japan, the entire Izumo Club does not cover too much area. The real main buildings are the temple of worship and Kagura Temple, and the Omoto Temple, which is usually not open to tourists.
And now the direction Chen Xiaolian is heading is the Imperial Palace.
The gate of the Imperial Palace is closed, and a fence is blocked at the door. It is only open for worship during the first lunar month and New Year, and is usually locked.
"There are no guards." Miao Yan looked at the front of the main entrance of the hall, and there were only a bunch of tourists bowing their heads to the closed gate, but they could not see the staff of the shrine: "Just break directly?"
"It won't be here either." Chen Xiaolian continued to shake his head, and also bypassed the hall, and still walked towards the rear.
Bypassing the hall, in an inconspicuous corner, there is a small stone mountain path winding towards the back mountain.
Before the trail, two straw ropes were pulled across, and a sign next to it said the words "stand-forbidden".
Chen Xiaolian stood down in front of the trail.
"It's this?" Miao Yan stopped when she saw Chen Xiaolian: "How do you know?"
"If you watch too many Japanese anime, you will know. Generally speaking, this kind of religious place is all in one place. The areas open to tourists outside are just a cover. The real core locations are hidden in the back mountain, which is an old routine." Chen Xiaolian smiled: "But... the current situation looks a bit strange."
"Strange?" Miao Yan didn't understand.
"Generally speaking, in order to prevent ordinary tourists from walking around, at least one or two people will be placed here to guard it, whether it is the ordinary staff outside or the "internal personnel". After all, two ropes cannot stop people's curiosity." Chen Xiaolian walked to the rope and pulled it off, and walked along the path to the mountain: "But there is no one here, which is unusual."
"It seems to make some sense." Miao Yan smiled and followed Chen Xiaolian: "So what do you think will happen?"
"Realistically speaking, the biggest possibility is that foreign enemies invade. So the guards here were killed, or rushed to fight the enemy in a hurry." Chen Xiaolian didn't walk fast, and Youzai seemed to be still looking at the scenery around him: "After all, we cannot be the only two two game participants in the dungeon. Judging from the scale of this dungeon, there are five shrines where the Soul is located, and they are scattered throughout Japan. I'm afraid there will be no fewer people in it. We drove here, and it is hard to guarantee that no other players or awakened people would take the Shinkansen, or simply drive their own aircraft, and it might be a step ahead."
"But there is no trace of fighting here..." Miao Yan thought for a moment: "If other teams really had snatched us, it wouldn't be so...clean here."
"This is exactly what makes me strange. But... isn't it completely impossible?" Chen Xiaolian smiled: "If it were one of my acquaintances..."
"Your acquaintance?" Miao Yan's lips curled slightly: "How come you can meet acquaintances everywhere? This time your acquaintance is as powerful as GM?"
"That's not." Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "It's not that powerful, but... he's a very interesting person."
The two walked along the mountain road for less than two minutes, and Chen Xiaolian suddenly stopped: "It's not wrong, it's really here."
"Hmm?" Miao Yan stopped with Chen Xiaolian's steps. Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw that Chen Xiaolian had stretched out her right hand and gently tapped in the air in front of her.
An extremely slight sound of shattering sound came out. Miaoyan saw that the space in front of Chen Xiaolian was like a mirror, suddenly shattered, but soon disappeared without a trace.
After the hazy "mirror" shattered, the mountain road in front of the two also became two forked.
"A very small magic circle can make people lose their direction in this mountain." Chen Xiaolian pointed to the mountain on the left and said, "If there is no insider leading it, this road should lead people back to the bottom of the mountain."
"But this magic circle is still intact." Miao Yan followed Chen Xiaolian and walked along the mountain path on the right: "So what you mean is that if there were other game participants going up the mountain before us, would they go in under the guidance of internal personnel?"
Chen Xiaolian did not answer Miao Yan, but continued to walk slowly upwards, looking like he was not in a hurry at all.
After walking for more than ten minutes, there was still no one, but the mountain road finally came to an end.
In front, there is a large wooden mountain gate, unpainted and maintains the color of the logs. The two huge wooden doors are tightly closed, and no one is guarding them.
"It's finally here." Chen Xiaolian walked to the mountain gate with a smile, looked back at Miao Yan, and suddenly kicked the door.
Bang!!!
The inside of the door was bolted, but of course the thick door latch could not hold back Chen Xiaolian's kick, and it was kicked severely. The two doors flew into the yard, one left and one right.
"Who!!!"
A roar suddenly sounded behind the door.
Chen Xiaolian ignored it and walked into the door with a swagger.
There was a vast courtyard in the door, with two rows of men standing on both sides, all wearing pure white hunting clothes with wide robes and big sleeves, and standing black hats on their heads.
Typical Shinto priest costume.
Everyone's face was filled with surprise and anger.
"A tourist who came to visit." Chen Xiaolian smiled faintly and looked at the anger on the faces of the priests in front of him as if nothing had happened: "It seems...it's more fun than the foot of the mountain?"
"This is not a tourist visitor area! How did you get up!" The leading priest walked out of the queue and had a gloomy face: "Please leave quickly, otherwise..."
Although Chen Xiaolian and Miaoyan are only wearing ordinary casual outfits, no one will regard them as ordinary tourists.
Which ordinary tourists from which family entered the door by kicking open?
In his right hand, he was holding a small wooden stick less than one meter long, with two zigzag strips tied to the top of the stick, and he was slowly waving it in his hand.
Chen Xiaolian remembers that it was a magic weapon in Shintoism, called imperial coins.
"Oh! Is it so fierce?" Chen Xiaolian smiled on his face, but he didn't stop walking forward: "What if... I have to go in?"
When he heard Chen Xiaolian's words, all the priests' expressions changed.
No need to ask more questions.
