Truth is everywhere within range

The Adachi Museum of Art is located in Yasu City, southeast of Matsue City, just over 20 kilometers away by car.

But since it’s a school trip, it’s natural to take a long detour.

The group of people took a tram.

Most of Tokyo’s trams have been replaced with new models, but in Shimane Prefecture, you can still see old locomotives that have been in use since the last century.

Traveling on the winding mountain railway, surrounded by only green mountain forests and gurgling water, it gives people a pleasant enjoyment.

As for the famous train bento, Qiao Qiao can only say that no matter how delicious the meal is, it tastes the same after it cools down.

Qiao Qiao continues to film Sayoko's journey.

Today, Sayoko is wearing a forest-style dress, which is fresh and natural, and goes well with the old train and the forest.

"I didn't expect it to be like this. I thought it would be like the Chinese gardens."

Coming to the courtyard of the art museum, Qiao Qiao said.

In addition to the artworks in its collection, the Adachi Museum of Art is most famous for its exquisite courtyard landscape.

It's just that unlike the Chinese landscape gardens where tourists can enjoy exploring and wandering around, the Adachi Museum of Art's courtyard can only be viewed from a distance.

The audience can only look at the surrounding gardens through the glass in the art museum building.

Of course, the advantage is that there won’t be tourists everywhere and you can only take photos of everyone.

It doesn't matter to Qiao Qiao, as long as he can take a picture of Sayoko, that's enough.

Whether it's a garden, a courtyard, or something else, it's just the background.

You can't abandon the basics and chase the last.

After eating Shimane Prefecture's specialty cuisine in Yasu City, students from Minejo University High School took a small train to Okuzumo Town, located in the south of Matsue City.

In fact, Okuzumo Town is very close to Izumo. After all, Okuzumo means the depths of Izumo.

There is the largest forest in Shimane Prefecture, making the small towns here look like cities surrounded by forests.

"I see, because iron ore is produced here, the technology of smelting metal has been available for a long time."

Okuzumo Yoshida Village, the entire village has become an open-air museum of ancient ironmaking, and Qiaoqiao and Sayoko are visiting here.

At this time, most of them have been separated. After all, these villages are scattered among the mountains of Okuzumo and are very small in scale.

Qiao Qiao and Xiao Yezi decided to come here first to take a look.

After all, iron smelting represents the earliest weapon forging.

Qiao Qiao was very interested.

"What's this?"

Sayoko didn't quite understand.

"Well, you see, Okuizumo has been considered the battlefield since ancient times where Susano'o defeated Yamata no Orochi, and after he defeated the Orochi, he took out the Amanazuruun Sword from the tail of the Orochi."

"The Tian Congyun Sword is a sword of conquest, and it is also an iron sword. Iron making is a symbol of progress for civilization. Look, don't the history books distinguish between the so-called Bronze Age and the Iron Age?"

"I think it may be because this was the center of ironmaking in ancient Japan that the legend spread that Susano'o defeated Yamata-no-Orochi and obtained the Amazong Cloud Sword."

"Furthermore, Okuizumo has been a producer of high-quality rice in Japan since ancient times. Good rice produces good wine. The story of Susano-o getting drunk with good wine and Yamata no Orochi is probably also due to these specialties."

Qiao Qiao looked at the iron-making bellows and forges that had a history of thousands of years.

I don’t know which furnace the Tian Congyun Sword was forged in.

It’s a pity that I don’t have access to psychics.

He took a few photos and planned to take them back to Tiancong Yunjian to see, maybe he could still recognize them.

"But things like Susano'o and Yamata no Orochi are not fictions, right?"

Recently, in order to keep up with Qiao Qiao's footsteps, Sayoko has also been studying weird knowledge seriously on the APP of the Soul Exorcist Association.

"Well, there is indeed a special spiritual energy in this area, perhaps it is a legacy of the war that year."

Qiao Qiao guessed that maybe at that time, there was a war between foreign gods like Susano'o and the local god Yamata no Orochi of Okuzumo. Susano'o won, and this generation was included in the belief field of ancient Japan. .

However, Yamata no Orochi was defeated and his godhead fell, so he was beaten into a monster.

If Yamata-no-Orochi had been victorious at that time, maybe this area would have enshrined the snake god.

As for Amancong Unken, he may have been an earlier local god who was swallowed by Yamata no Orochi and finally became a member of the Susanoo legend.

Qiao Qiao gained some new insights when he thought of the descendants of the Yamata no Orochi he saw at Atsuta Shrine, and its ability to use the Amancongyun Sword and ignore the boundaries of the shrine.

"Let's go to Tianyuan to have a look."

After coming out of the museum that demonstrated the forging process of jade steel, Qiao Qiao looked at the Line group and decided to go directly to the place where Yamata no Orochi lived.

Next to the Hii River, there is an abyss at the bottom of the valley mixed between trees and rocks. Legend has it that this is where the Yamata no Orochi lives, and it is called Tenbuchi.

Going up the river, Qiao Qiao soon saw a valley covered with red leaves.

Many students from the High School Affiliated to Fengcheng University are sightseeing here, and most of them are couples holding hands.

Um.

The gurgling water, the red leaves all over the sky, the quietness and tranquility are indeed very suitable for couples to date.

Qiao Qiao looked at Sayoko.

Such a background is also very suitable for taking photos of Sayoko.

"I didn't expect such a view."

Sayoko raised her skirt slightly, squatted down and picked up a red leaf that fell into the water.

Qiao Qiao decisively captured this moment.

Sayoko by the valley, get.

"This seems to be an attraction as well."

Qiao Qiao looked around and saw a wooden sign.

It has the words "Famous place, ghost's tongue shocked" written on it.

"The name is surprisingly scary."

Qiao Qiao also took a photo of Sayoko next to the sign.

Great satisfaction.

As we trudged up the stream, in addition to students, we also saw many tourists with their families.

This seems to be a camping area.

"Camping?"

Sayoko suddenly imagined camping in a tent with Qiao Qiao.

He turned his face away shyly.

Walked for about twenty minutes.

The two of them arrived at their destination.

"It feels like it's just an ordinary valley."

There are many tourists here, but in Qiao Qiao's opinion, they are very ordinary.

There were neither stunning views nor traces of spiritual power in front of him. Qiao Qiao even suspected that this place might not be the real residence of Yamata no Orochi at all, but just a fabrication made by future generations.

After all, even if a monster of that level dies, it will leave traces on a land for a long time.

After taking a few photos for Sayoko, Qiao Qiao pulled Sayoko away from the crowd.

"Next"

Qiao Qiao was still looking at the nearby attractions, but Sayoko pulled Qiao Qiao's clothes.

"Qiao Sang, that witch seems a little strange?"

Qiao Qiao followed Sayoko's finger and looked over.

It was a miko wearing a miko-style kimono, but the hem was dark blue.

It's just that there are several dumpling-like spirits following the miko.
