After arriving at the shore, everyone discovered the village that Siyue had found through the detection snake released in advance on a slightly higher mountainside.
On both sides of the somewhat desolate but still solid main street paved with large hard stones are cave dwellings made of carefully excavated natural rocks.
These ancient but still strong houses stretch in an orderly manner from the foothills to the top of the mountain.
The wall-creepers and weeds were lush and green, just as the owner said, and there were no signs of human habitation.
The streets looked as if they had been left there for hundreds of years, with rusty ninja tools rolling all over the place.
"Hundreds of years ago, this must have been a ninja village." Miyuki put down the kunai she just picked up, and then rolled her eyes again, "Of course, it's on the moon."
"Follow me."
Gintoki rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, taking the lead and walking in front of Kagura and others.
Although it is very safe in the movie version, places like ninja villages usually have various traps, which Gintoki, who has been a ninja for so many years, is familiar with.
Of course, having said that, if you really encounter something like a treasure chest in the corner, the first one to reach out will definitely be Gintoki.
Gintoki and his party found traces of burnt black marks everywhere on the street.
"It's the traces of fire."
"After all, there have been wars on the moon before." Xin Bajie took over the words with a friendly look on his face.
Siyue was stunned: "Xinba Jijun...do you know?"
"Ah, this..." Xinbaji, knowing that he seemed to have spilled the beans, quickly scratched his head and laughed, "After all, it looks like this from the traces."
In the abandoned house, a huge number of human bones were piled up to the patio.
"It looks like the scale of the war is not small."
Looking at the Skull Mountain that was lit up little by little by the lanterns, Siyue's expression became slightly solemn. The number of corpses was already comparable to some of the battles described in textbooks.
"Okay, there's nothing interesting to see here, let's continue searching."
Gintoki was the first to turn around, already accustomed to things like corpses.
Near noon, it is also the time when the sun is at its best.
A few people who were not tired yet strolled along the path with the shadows of the trees. It was a mission rather than an outing.
“The water here is clean!”
Standing next to an ancient drinking fountain with water flowing out, Xinbaji waved to the three people and the dog.
"Yoshi, get ready to rest!"
…
In the afternoon, Gintoki and his party discovered the ruins of the temple in the suburbs.
Because there was no Hyuga clan accompanying them, Mitsuki still let the scout snake in first. After confirming the safety, the group stepped into the interior of the temple.
The statue of the god sitting in the front is cracked, and the walls and columns are about to collapse.
Ingenious eye-shaped graphics can be seen everywhere, and the pupils are painted with special lines.
Starting from the circle in the center, light radiates in eight directions - a pattern that looks like two shurikens stacked on top of each other.
On the stone tablet next to it, there is a poem engraved in ancient ninja characters.
——Ancient oath, if human beings go astray, this will happen...
Siyue, who had the best grades and was the most knowledgeable, recognized these and recited poems in a low voice.
"The eye of reincarnation, resurrection, and the fist of the moon to bring life to life?"
"In short, it's something called the Eye of Reincarnation. It will move the moon and hit the earth, and then reshape the world."
Xinbaji kindly explained.
Just when Mitsuki was amazed at Shinbaji's translation ability, Gintoki suddenly said seriously: "Anyway, use your Byakugan from now on!"
Xin Bajie fell silent, and it took him a while to think of complaining.
"Gin-san, don't forget that we are not from the Hyuga clan."
"Shut up! Use it if I let you!"
Gintoki said, and then looked at Kagura who was rolling his eyes upwards hard, "Yes, it's like Kagura."
"Yeah! That's not a roll of the eyes! It's just a roll of the eyes!"
"Yo Xi, Xinbaji, copy the Chinese characters for Baiyan ten thousand times."
"Who wants to write! Even if the words are the same, they have different functions!"
Just when Shinbachi and Gintoki were having a fight, the sound of kaka kaka kaka suddenly came from the side...
Some sugar-free sparkling waters use a sugar substitute called erythritol, which may cause allergies, so be careful if you have not drank it before.
