Chapter 688: Disappointment
After more than half an hour, the bus came to the final stop of the trip, Sanyuan Mountain.
- Mt. Mihara, a special mountain range, or crater, formed by a volcanic eruption more than 50 years ago on the island, is the highest mountain in the entire island at an altitude of 758 meters, and is also one of the three major mobile volcanoes in the world! There is an abundance of lava rolling in the ground all year round.
As a result, Mt. Mihara is in danger of erupting every year, and it is a veritable active volcano.
It's just that it's more or less quiet compared to the other two active volcanoes that name itβ
That is, unlike the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, which erupts almost every day, and unlike the Stromboli volcano in Italy, which emits a deafening roar every day, it is a limited bear. Therefore, it has been well developed and utilized, and has become a well-known tourist attraction in the island country, especially in Oshima Town, and is patronized by the people of the island country and even the world.
Oh, and also, the crater of Mt. Mihara is also the filming location of the village that was sunk by a meteorite in the movie "Your Name", so to some extent, it can also be said to be a reshaping of Sadako's hometown, which can be regarded as some kind of special coincidence.
Qin Heqing and Sadako didn't say much, and first moved along the road towards the crater observatory......
However, he didn't go far before Qin Heqing had to stop.
"What's wrong?" Qin Heqing looked at Sadako beside him and asked.
"Shrine." Sadako looked at the torii in front of her and said softly.
"Familiar place for you?" Qin Heqing asked rhetorically.
Thinking about it, this is the only possibility that Sadako, who doesn't care about external affairs at all.,Only think about killing people has changed.γ
Sadako didn't answer, just looked at the shrine in front of her, needless to say, Qin Heqing also knew that his idea was correct, "Since it's a place you're familiar with, let's go in and have a look." β
After speaking, Qin Heqing took the lead and walked towards the shrine.
Then came Sadako.
The shrine in front of you is called Mihara Shrine because of the name of the mountain, and it is the only surviving building in the surrounding area after the volcanic eruption in 1986, so it is full of miracles and is worshipped by the residents of the island, especially the people who moved around Mt. Mihara at the beginning, so even after a few decades, the state of the shrine has not become very bad, and it still maintains its original function, and it is accepted by tourists and residents who come here.
"This can't be the place where you played hide and seek with your companions as a kid, or whatever?" Looking at the Sanyuan Shrine, which was about the same size as his own shrine, or even inferior, Qin Heqing couldn't help but turn his head to look at Sadako and guess.
And unexpectedly, he actually got Sadako's response.
"Hmm."
"Really?!" Qin Heqing said in amazement.
"My mother used to be a shrine maiden here." Sadako said again.
ββ¦β¦β
I see, no wonder she reacted so strongly to this place.
But after all, it's just a small shrine, and no one has presided over it yet, so after a simple visit, Qin Heqing left the Sanyuan Shrine with the calmed Sadako, and continued to move along the mountain road towards the observation deck on the west side of the crater-
After all, whether you can find surface magma depends on this wave.
Otherwise, you will really have to go to Hawaii to collect earth fire.
β¦β¦
After walking like this for more than ten minutes, Qin Heqing and Sadako came to the crater observation deck, and took advantage of the height to look towards the inside of the crater-
I was disappointed that I didn't see any active magma, and I also said on the Internet that I could directly see the magma full of life at the Sanyuan Mountain Hot Spring Resort!
It's a ghost, I'm afraid that the people who write the scenery introduction in the island country don't have some misunderstanding of the word vitality, right? The magma rolling trails left behind by the eruption of the volcano are described as life!
Shouldn't it be fresh, and the lava flow that can see the red magma when you open it is full of life?
Anyway, at this moment, Qin Heqing completely lost his expectations for this trip and became dispensable.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look on the other side." After looking at it for a while, Qin Heqing said to Sadako beside him.
The latter naturally didn't have any opinions, so he followed Qin Heqing out of the observatory, returned to the Mihara Shrine, and then moved along the path directly opposite the torii gate of the Mihara Shrine towards the 1986 eruption crater.
β¦β¦
"This barren area, shouldn't it be where your home used to be?" Qin Heqing pointed to a vast gray-black sandy wilderness road like the surface of the moon in front of him.
What's it called?
Oh, and by the way, it's called the Sato Desert, which is opposite the Omoto Desert near Oshima Town. According to the introduction materials I saw when I came here, it is one of the most famous sightseeing spots like the crater of Mt. Mihara.
Sadako still didn't speak, silently looking at the moonside wasteland in front of her, not knowing what was going on in her heart.
"Forget it, let's not look at it, let's go to the hot spring village."
After a day of rest, Qin Heqing prepared to leave the island and go back to his own business.
β¦β¦
"Welcome, guests, are you checking in, or are you ......," the hostess of the inn greeted her with a warm face.
"Check-in." Qin Heqing said simply.
"Do you have a reservation for the guest?"
"Hmm."
"What is the guest's name......?"
"Qin Heqing."
"Found it, standard one-person room, please sign here."
Qin Heqing took a pen and signed it, completed the check-in procedures, and then the proprietress arranged the staff and sent Qin Heqing to the room.
"According to the agreement, we will provide you with three meals during your stay, so if you want to eat, please go to the lobby every morning from 6:30 to 8 o'clock, from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m., and from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the evening.
"The open-air bath is available 24 hours a day, and the observatory bath is only open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and guests are asked to wear a swimsuit for the mixed bath."
"This is the pager, if the guest needs anything, they can press the pager to call us."
"Have a nice stay."
Then the waiter left after introducing some precautions, leaving the space for Qin Heqing to use alone.
"I didn't expect there to be a mixed bath here, so I'm going to experience it later." Walking to the room alone, opening the sliding door, and looking at the scenery of the forest sea, the desert and the crater of Sanyuan Mountain in the distance, Qin Heqing said with a strange smile.
Although he has to wear a swimsuit, he doesn't want to go in directly naked like in some anime, film and television dramas, but it is still quite attractive for him to take a bath or something with men and women together-
The key was novelty and strangers, otherwise he wouldn't have taken a shower with another woman, and he wouldn't have been so interested in hearing about the mixed bath.
"I just hope that the eyes won't be too spicy by then......"
