This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

After Beichuan Temple put down the luggage bag, he took Poor out.

"Island Road Municipal Library..."

Beichuan Temple took out Google Maps and glanced at the location of the library, and he knew it.

The Municipal Library of Daolu City is not far from here. From here, take the No. 2 bus and take two stops.

After spending about five minutes sitting in the municipal library, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Since today is a weekend, there are only a lot of people in the city library at this time.

Most of the people who come here to read books are nearby college students and high school students who have holidays on Saturdays and Sundays.

Beichuan Temple took a small backpack through the library security check, and followed the signs to the local historical area of ​​Daolu City.

It is divided into left and right areas, the left area is the newspaper area, and the right area is the book area.

The number of people in the local historical area is much smaller than that in other places. Except for some college students who need to do research projects, there are only some old people who are slowly flipping through the newspapers.

"It's here."

Beichuan Temple took out the notepad he had prepared in advance, and went to the book area to find the two books "A Brief Record of Events in Daolu City" and "Customs and Customs of Daolu City".

I hope I can find the clues I want from these records.

Putting Xi Kujo poorly on the table, Beichuan Temple reached out and opened the first book.

On a certain day in a certain year, a certain project was built in Daolu City.

What kind of big event is held here in Daolu City on a certain day in a certain year and a certain month.

The earliest record in the "Brief Records of Major Events in Daoji City" only dates to the Showa period, and is too brief. It usually records things in Daoji City, and there are not many written records about the surrounding villages.

Beichuan Temple gave up this book after only two or three glances, and opened the second "Island Road Folk Customs and Customs".

It actually records the ancient customs and traditions of many villages around Daolu City, but Beichuan Temple can't find any records about Shenzhu Village.

This is very strange.

Beichuan Temple recalled some statements on the Internet.

Shenzhu Village is a village with a population of 400 to 500 people, so everything must be recorded.

Even if outsiders don't know the customs and habits of the gods in the village, it's not that there is no record in the local city chronicles.

This is too unnatural.

But if this is man-made, why is it necessary to artificially erase the records of the gods in the village?

'It seems that no useful information can be obtained from official records. '

Beichuan Temple turned his gaze to the neatly stored newspaper area.

Newspapers are publications that are sold to the public by local and individual media. It does not matter whether it is official or not, as long as there is something interesting, it will basically be published.

Beichuan Temple brought his notepad, carbon pen, and Nishi Kujo to the newspaper section.

The newspapers here are carefully divided into regions by age, region, politics, entertainment, etc.

Beichuan Temple quickly found the category of folk entertainment among them.

Most of the newspapers here are very old.

After all, people now have mobile phones, and electronic media reading materials are much more convenient than paper reading materials.

And most of the young people nowadays like those novelty things, and they are not very interested in some traditional things, so naturally there are very few people who come here.

Scanning Beichuan Temple all the way, I found that the newspapers here can even be traced back to the Meiji period.

While he sighed in his heart that the library was well-preserved, he didn't hesitate to raise his hand and took out the earliest Island Road Folklore Newspaper.

Beichuan Temple also paid attention to the issue number on it, and raised his eyebrows when he realized that this newspaper was only the 13th issue.

"It seems that there were not many newspapers recording local folk customs at that time. It just happened to be a coincidence." Beichuan Temple glanced at the newspaper before fully unfolding it.

This Daolu Folklore Newspaper is a full-page black and white newspaper.

This newspaper was produced at the end of the Meiji period, and most of the paper is mainly composed of words, with few pictures.

Beichuan Temple glanced and found that many ancient traditions of the village were actually recorded on it.

After all, the mountainous area of ​​the island road is closely divided, and many villages are separated like chess pieces on a chessboard, scattered all over the place, and in the past, there was a lack of means of communication, mainly letters. tradition.

"I see..."

In this way, there may be some hidden rituals in the isolated Shenzhu Village that are unknown to outsiders.

Being hidden on the map, the world can't know... that long and bloody and cruel ceremony...

Beichuan Temple's heart skipped a beat.

But it is a pity that there is no explanation about the village of gods in the 13th issue of the newspaper.

Beichuan Temple reached out to the next folklore newsletter.

This folklore news is not the same, it just deepens the folklore news from the previous issue.

There was no surprise on Beichuan Temple's face. If it was so easy to find, it wouldn't be called a village hidden by gods.

He moved his hand and took out the next folk news paper.

no.

is not...

still none.

Everything seems to be the same as the literal meaning, Shenzhu Village is really hidden by God.

Hidden by the gods, the Roman spelling of Japanese is kamikakushi... which means being haunted and missing. In human society, being hidden by the gods means disappearing and missing.

So is it true that there is no trace of existence in the world?

Beichuan Temple had a calm face, and didn't care about this small failure at all.

He repeated the action of taking out the newspaper and reading it again, until about the forty-fifth newspaper was taken out, there was finally a gratifying change in it.

I saw that on the lower right corner of the page, the Japanese characters of "God's Village" were small marked.

It is a very small area, if you don't look carefully, you will probably skip it subconsciously.

"It's finally here." Beichuan Temple lifted his spirits.

He didn't miss anything in every newspaper, and he read all of them carefully before changing another one.

This high-intensity reading made Xi Kutiao give up pitifully early on.

"But the result is always gratifying." Beichuan Temple spread out the newspaper, rolled his eyes, and glanced over.

I saw a line of detailed words marked in neat print on the yellowed and faded newspaper.

‘This is a village hidden by the gods, a village that is unknown to outsiders. It has mysterious and strange customs that make people tremble. '

'God resides in the village. '

——

This line of text ends here.

It seems that this is just a cunning way of laying the groundwork for the next issue, so as to arouse the interest of the newspaper readers.

This kind of thing breaks here, there is a feeling of inconsistency, which makes Beichuan Temple frown upon seeing it.

He simply reached out and touched the next newspaper directly.

Presumably, there should be a record of the god's residence village that he has been concerned about on it.
