Chapter 1303: Atago Taro Workshop
I met Taiqin Zhenzhizi's parents and went shopping with her for an afternoon, is it a date? Qin and Kiyoshi separated from Taiqin Machiko, and according to the information, they moved towards Mt. Atago, which is about 1.5 kilometers away from the city of Kyoto.
It's just that at this time, Atago Mountain is no longer a sacred mountain in ancient times, a place where ordinary people or bold people dare to go, but in modern times, it has already become a tourist attraction, not only with a variety of scenic spots to see, but also a golf course for people to use.
Although most of the people in Kyoto City use this place, it doesn't mean that there are no ordinary people who come here to experience the feeling of high society.
So it's a bit wishful thinking to explore other yokai stations like before, but it's a bit wishful thinking to find youkai as you go.
So Qin Heqing was very patient, not only was he not in a hurry, but he also walked in the mountains like a real tourist-
Then he discovered the tengu......
A place called Tengu cedar.
According to the sign there, it is called Tengu cedar because it is the place where tengu used to haunt, and because most of the cedar trees here are planted by tengu.
Replacing the name with a tree is also a feature of the island country.
But what about the real tengu? Qin Heqing didn't see one.
"Shouldn't they all be dead...... Qin Heqing muttered.
You must know that this is the location of the most famous Tarobo among the eight tengu in the island country, and it is the first person in the tengu world, and it is also the hermitage of the tengu Eishutaro, who is said to have survived for the longest time.
That strength is so strong, just thinking about it makes Qin Heqing feel excited, and it must be an existence that can enhance the essence of the demon refining pot.
Even if Eisshu Taro is not the guardian of the Izanagi Shrine who was ordered by the Buddha to guard the Izanagi Shrine 3,000 years ago, but the teacher of Prince Shotoku, a monk from the Baekje Kingdom at that time, his existence time is more than 1,500 years, which is hundreds of years longer than the existence of the feathered fox, and he is also a monster that can strengthen his strength, Qin Heqing has no reason to dislike picky eaters.
So I was patient again and searched deeper into Mt. Atago, that is, undeveloped areas that were not open to the public.
And the hard work paid off, Qin Heqing really found a unique place in the mountains - there was an enchantment that separated the space and separated the inside and outside!
"Could it be that the tengu is hiding inside?"
It's not out of the question.
After all, when he was searching for Tengu in Hokkaido, he had encountered a shielding and interference barrier built to prevent ordinary people from entering the clan land by mistake, and he had encountered similar situations for a long time when searching for other yokai stations before, so it is not difficult to guess that the yokai in the island country should have set up similar arrangements outside their clan land in order to live a stable life.
Therefore, Qin Heqing did not hesitate? It doesn't matter if it will alarm the real thousand-year-old demon Eijutsu Taro? Directly broke through the enchantment without disguise and skill, and entered the interior of the enchantment-
Suddenly? The scenery of birds and flowers came into Qin Heqing's eyes.
Canyons, streams, low mountains, waterfalls? plus a wooden house made entirely of wood, all of them told Qin Heqing that he was not looking for the wrong place? This is supposed to be the hiding place of Eijutaro.
It's just that there is no tribe to accompany them......
"No, no, no. Anyway, catching Eijutaro or Yura is a harvest for me, and it's enough for me to return to my roots. Qin Heqing let out a long sigh? Muttered secretly.
And then Qin and Chiang Mai set off? I walked towards the cabin in front of me.
"Dangdangdang...... Anyone? ”
There is no answer inside.
Qin Heqing knocked again, and when he saw that there was still no answer, he pushed open the door-
The door was unlocked.
But yes, even the place of residence is hidden in the enchantment? Is it difficult to spot non-special people or powerful monsters? Why should the owner of this place worry about uninvited guests coming in the house?
And even if he did come in, who would be able to escape his enchantment sense?
Anyway, if Qin Heqing was the owner of the house, he wouldn't lock the door when he went out.
Then Qin Heqing entered the house without politeness and took in the situation in the house.
Very simple, not to mention tables and chairs? There isn't even a serious bed, and the mat for sleeping is spread directly on the ground next to it? In the middle of the house is an ancient Japanese-style pot with three wooden sticks standing on top of the pit? There was a pot hanging on it, and I didn't know if there was anything boiling inside because there was no fire.
Is there a small cabinet next to the wall? The door of the cabinet below is closed, and the dishes and chopsticks are placed on it? Washed cleanly without dust? It can be seen that this is not an abandoned place, but actually inhabited.
On the opposite wall of the cabinet hung a large bow and quiver, and in the corner stood knives and spears, and several tools commonly used by carpenters and blacksmiths were stacked in another corner of the room.
It's quite in line with the legend of the Tengu, where legends often appear to teach the skills of heroes and lucky people.
Qin Heqing inspected around and didn't find anything eye-catching, and he didn't know if it was all hidden, or if there was really none, so Qin Heqing, who thought he could have some extra gains, felt quite disappointed.
"Have you not heard of the saying that whoever is not at home is a thief when the Lord is not at home?" Just as Qin Heqing was looking at the furnishings in the room, looking for Eishu Taro's collection, a voice suddenly came from the position at the door, and said coldly.
"You shouldn't be able to tell you that you are a thief." Qin Heqing turned around and looked at the owner of the voice to correct.
This is also a common problem when translating Chinese dialects on the islands, which always extend and expand, turning the original phrase into a word with the same meaning, but with more words.
As for the other party's questioning, he originally came with the idea of suppressing the other party, so how could he care about such ethical things?
"I don't know who Your Excellency is, and what you are here for." Dressed in a well-washed kimono and animal skins, the tengu still wore a red-lacquered proboscis mask on his face and asked as he walked towards the place where the swords, guns, bows and arrows were placed.
"If I say I'm here to take your life, would you believe me?" Qin Heqing stared at the eyes tightly in front of him, and he didn't know if it was Eishu Taro, but he felt the powerful spiritual power and Buddha rhyme from the other party, and the heavenly dog said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, even if this guy in front of him is not a real tengu like a female tengu, he is also a legendary monk, and after more than a thousand years of cultivation, the ghost knows how strong it is.
In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
He didn't want to capsize in the gutter.
