Japan's forest coverage rate is one of the highest in the world, reaching 64%, and it never conducts domestic commercial logging, and relies almost entirely on imports of timber.

Along the path into the mountain, Li Xuehao was quite moved. The trees were dense, and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant everywhere. It was like a virgin forest that no one had ever been to. Everything seemed so harmonious.

Although Yokohama is the third largest city in Japan and its population is second only to Tokyo, the forest still maintains its original scale in this international metropolis.

The Baifeng Shrine is at the destination where he entered the mountain this time.

However, this Shiramine Shrine is not the Shiramine Shrine in Shanggyo District of Kyoto City that worships Emperor Sutoku, but a small shrine. Although I don’t know if the original purpose of building it is to imitate the real Shiramine Shrine to worship Emperor Sutoku, but I want to follow Tengu must have a lot to do with it.

Because Emperor Sutoku is the leader of all tengu legends.

It is said that after being defeated in the Hogen Rebellion, Emperor Sutoku went into exile in Sanki and wrote Buddhist scriptures to the gods, but there was no response. So he made a great wish, wishing to be the Great Demon King and disturb the world. Then he would not eat or sleep, and died in anger, like a yaksha. The resentful spirits turned into tengus, causing chaos in the world.

This is the origin of the Tengu.

Li Xuehao has the memory of his original body, so he knows this Baifeng Shrine, which is also quite famous in Yokohama City, and has heard various rumors, but it is the first time to go here in person.

Baifeng Shrine is on the mountainside.

It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, and there are mottled signs of erosion everywhere. Standing in front of the torii gate of the shrine, this is Li Xuehao's first impression of Baifeng Shrine.

Passing through the torii gate, entering the "divine world", and stepping on the long steps are also impressive "historical traces".

The surrounding weeds are overgrown, the masonry is broken, and sometimes one or two wild cats can be seen quickly getting into the dense grass.

After walking the steps, we came to the main temple of the shrine.

The pool at the entrance for "purification" has already dried up, and it is full of weeds. The guardian beasts of the Koma dog on both sides can hardly be seen in their original appearance, just like two unfinished stone sculptures.

No matter how you look at it, this Shiramine Shrine does not look like it has been abandoned for three years, but it seems to have been abandoned for three hundred years.

Li Xuehao was hesitant. There were many frightening rumors about this shrine, the most famous of which was that there was a Tengu haunting it.

Originally, there were monks presiding over the shrine before, but one night three years ago, all the monks died strangely overnight.

The results of the official investigation are not known, but after that, rumors about the presence of tengus in the shrine have been rampant, and timid people dare not approach this shrine at all.

Li Xuehao couldn't figure out why Minako Suzuki chose this place as a place for club activities, but she could faintly sense some of it. Maybe the reason she did that was to open his and Ryota Yamamoto's horizons and see that kind of Stuff in rumors?

After standing in front of the main temple for a while, Li Xuehao heard voices coming from the torii gate under the steps. He didn't listen deliberately, but he also knew that Ryota Yamamoto and the others had arrived.

Moving a few steps to the front of the steps, I saw Ryota Yamamoto and his party picking up the steps.

Yamamoto Ryota and Saito Huiji are in the front, and behind them are Suzuki Minako, Hisakawa Chiwa and Chiba Mika.

The most eye-catching one is Chiba Mika. She is wearing a shrine maiden costume that is also tailor-made for her. It is very similar to the kendo uniform of the Kendo Club, with white on the top and red on the bottom.

Holding the imperial coin, her face looked very solemn and solemn, which was very inconsistent with her previous image of a little doormat.

The so-called imperial coin is shaped like a wooden stick with zigzag paper strips wrapped around it. Commonly, there are 2 vertical papers hanging from a wooden pole, and there are also 2, 4, and 8 vertical papers, which are basically white. .

Because the pronunciation of "paper" and "god" in Japanese are the same, both are "kami", and the white paper is white and flawless, and it is regarded as "condensing the power of the gods".

Royal coins are used to enshrine in front of the gods, and can also be used to eliminate demons. Of course, they can also be used for prayer and cleaning.

When using it, it is generally waved back and forth in the direction of "left, right and left", and there are also those that are directly inserted in one place and fixed.

What Li Xuehao was curious about was that Chiba Mika looked very professional in such a shrine maiden outfit. Could it be that she was originally a shrine maiden? Thinking back carefully, it seems that when he and Ryota Yamamoto lived in the old school building for the first time, he gave himself a magic talisman, saying that he asked for it from the Chiba Shrine. Does this Chiba Shrine have anything to do with Chiba Mika?

This cannot be confirmed for the time being. Yamamoto Ryota under the steps has already spotted him at this time, and is greeting him loudly: "Good morning, Masaka."

"Good morning!" Li Xuehao responded with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to come earlier than us. I didn't see you when I met the minister at the torii just now. I thought you weren't coming. The minister said that you might have come up. The minister is really wise." Mrs. Yamamoto clapped sycophant.

Suzuki Minako's face was calm, unmoved by flattery at all, and she greeted Li Xuehao lightly: "Good morning, Zhenzhong."

"Good morning, senior." Li Xuehao also responded politely. Today no one is wearing a school uniform, just plain casual clothes.

Minako Suzuki is wearing slightly tight black jeans, her legs are still so slender, her upper body is covered with a white T-shirt and a pink sportswear, because the neckline is low, so you can see her insides white t-shirt.

With a pair of sneakers on her feet, she looked like a beautiful girl full of youthful vigor after morning exercise. Her waist-length black hair was tied with a ribbon, and was neatly thrown behind her.

After a few people said hello, Suzuki Minako began to say: "I believe that everyone has heard the rumors about the Shiramine Shrine before coming here. What I want to say is that those rumors are not necessarily rumors, and they may be true. Even if there is no Tengu, there must be something else in it, so..."

Having said that, Suzuki Minako paused, looked at Li Xuehao and Yamamoto Ryota aside: "True, Yamamoto."

"Yes." The two agreed.

"Wait, if something unexpected happens, if I'm not by your side, you can follow Qianye. Remember, you must follow Qianye closely!"

Chiba Mika next to her had a solemn face, watching the two of them and gave a soft "huh" to show that she would protect them well.

Li Xuehao nodded thoughtfully. Among these people, except that he was hidden, Minako Suzuki and Mika Chiba should be regarded as people who had been exposed to that kind of things.

I have seen the compass on Minako Suzuki before, and although Chiba Mika does not have such a thing as a compass, the imperial coin in her hand, although there is no aura, there are some special things contained in it, although it is not as good as Reiki, but at least it has a little effect, much better than the three ordinary people of Ryota Yamamoto, Haiji Saito and Chiwa Hisakawa.

Ryota Yamamoto looked nervously at Minako Suzuki, perhaps startled by what she said: "Minister, is there something? Could it be, is it a ghost?"

"Do you know why our club is called 'Spirit Class Club'?" Minako Suzuki looked at him irrelevantly.

Ryota Yamamoto shook his head.

"'Spiritual Class Club' is just an abbreviation. The full name is 'Ultimate Supernatural Event Research Club'. From the name, you should know that the purpose of our club is to study all kinds of supernatural events, including ghosts of course."

"Is there... really a ghost here?" Ryota Yamamoto was even more flustered. Compared with the legendary monster like Tengu, who was more rumored than true, he was more afraid of the ghosts that might exist around him.

"Okay, don't be so scared, with the minister here, even if there is a ghost, it won't confuse us." Saito Huiji patted him on the shoulder hard.

Ryota Yamamoto finally had a little bit of courage, of course not because of Saito Huiji's words, but thinking that it is broad daylight after all, and ghosts may not really exist, maybe they never existed at all. existed?

Next, led by Suzuki Minako, several people entered the main hall of the shrine together.

The main hall is spacious, and there is hardly a trace of debris. There are neither statues nor tablets, and it seems that someone has cleaned it all year round. The floor is clean and bright, just like new.

The outside looks like a wilderness, but the inside seems to be inhabited all year round. This weird scene makes people feel creepy.

Minako Suzuki looked solemn, she had already taken out the compass and held it in her hand.

Chiba Mika also danced the coins, muttering something.

Ryota Yamamoto looked nervous. He was probably the scariest thing in everyone's mind. No matter how you looked at it, this main hall seemed so abnormal.

"True." Approaching Li Xuehao, Ryota Yamamoto held onto the hem of his clothes tightly and called out in a low voice.

"En." Li Xuehao responded lightly, but did not shake him off.

He also felt strange in his heart, although the divine sense could not cover the entire shrine, but in the main hall, there was no hindrance.

There is no such thing here, but why is the floor so clean? Is it because someone cleans it all year round? But it doesn't look like someone has lived here, and there is no anger at all.

In this case, there seems to be only one reason to explain it...

Li Xuehao looked around and found some clues in the corners of the hall, which were faint scratches that were almost ignored by people.

But combining these scratches, Li Xuehao knows that this is a large formation.

However, although it is a large-scale formation, it is not very useful. There is only one thing, which is to block the dust and other dirt from the outside, and it can also effectively clean up the dust falling from the ceiling of the main hall, keeping everything in the hall clean.

But it has no effect on those real "dirty things", so it is said to be a large-scale formation, but in fact it is not as good as an ordinary small spirit formation.

"It seems to be dark outside." Saito Huiji said suddenly, pointing to the sky outside the main entrance of the main hall.

"Is it going to rain?" Hisakawa Chiwa who was beside him asked.
