Beidou watched Manye finish reading the inscription, stood up, and asked him: "How is it? Manye, what does it say?"
Wanyo said in an uncertain tone: "The words on this should be the Inazuma characters from a long time ago. Although some of the words are not the same as the current Inazuma characters, I can still understand the general meaning."
"The meaning of the inscription is that this was originally a large island belonging to Inazuma, but the terrain was relatively low. Later, as the sea level rose, most of the land was gradually submerged. Although most people left the island,
But there are still a small number of people who insist on staying.”
"I see. No wonder there are traces of human habitation here."
Manyo mentioned the book in his hand: "But the book in my hand is indeed Inazuma's modern writing. They are obviously not from the same era as this stone tablet."
"According to the records in the book, the sea level rise stopped later, but only a small piece of the island was left. Therefore, the number of people on the island decreased again, and later only a small mountain village remained. And the book records that the village
There is a huge cherry blossom tree in the center, and when the wind blows, its cherry blossoms can even fly across the entire mountain village."
The four of them looked around as hard as they could, but did not find anything tall appearing in their field of vision.
"There are no huge cherry blossom trees here. Is it behind some invisible terrain? Then how can it be carried by the wind to the entire mountain village?"
"Speaking of books, I also have a book here." Xiangling showed the book she got from the house to everyone, "It's just a recipe book, and I don't know Inazuma's writing, so I don't know it at all.
I can’t understand!”
Wan Ye smiled: "It's okay, Xiang Ling, I'll help you translate it into common language when I get the chance."
"Wow! Really? Thank you! Manyo!"
"You're welcome, it's just a little effort. By the way, Xiaomo, did you find anything?"
Zhong Mo put the box in his hand in front of everyone and said, "This is it, and then it's gone."
Beidou knelt down and looked at the box, and found a lock on it. Then she reached out and held the rusty lock. A purple lightning flashed, and she took the lock off. Wanye opened the box and found that it was inside.
There is also a book on it.
[The sea is becoming more and more violent, and the land we rely on for survival is slowly being eroded. If this continues, everyone will probably leave, right? But after everyone leaves, what will happen to the sacred cherry tree? 】
[Fortunately, the sea finally calmed down, but everyone still left. After all, there is only such a small place left now, but I will not leave the sacred cherry tree. 】
The text at the back is obviously updated and added, and it is not the same person as the person in front.
[When I was born, this island was already so small. The elders in my family told me that the island used to be very big, but then the sea god became angry and the land was flooded. But I always think about it.
I scoff at this statement. With the General here, even if there is a Poseidon, he will be killed by her, right? 】
[I went to see this sacred cherry tree again today. It was clear that everyone on the island was gone. I don’t know why our little family insisted on staying and guarding this broken tree. Although this tree is indeed very beautiful.]
[This morning, when I was doing my routine inspection of this big tree, I discovered something unusual. This big tree actually started to wither. 】
[The old people on the island said that this is an ominous sign and a punishment for our family. I don’t believe it. It must be the intrusion of sea water. The salt water seeped into the roots of the trees and caused them to rot. It’s strange that the trees don’t die.
Woolen cloth!】
[People from Narukami Island were sent to say that the general seems to be locking down the country. Let us move to Narukami Island quickly. Why should we lock down the country when everything is fine? 】
[With the withering of the sacred cherry tree, many strange things seem to have happened on the island. Some old people have been staying around the sacred cherry tree for a long time, and their minds have become a little abnormal. People in the shogunate say that they are too old.
It’s a disease that all elderly people get, but I don’t believe there must be something strange about this tree that has grown for so many years.]
[Today, the big tree in the village suddenly sank into a huge hole connected to the ground. Only then did everyone realize that it was actually empty under the sacred cherry tree, but the shogunate controlled the scene and prevented people from approaching it. 】
[Everyone was forcibly sent away, and I was the only one left hiding on the island secretly. I must find out what happened to this tree.]
[The day after everyone left the island, I ran out of my hiding place after confirming that it was safe. After confirming that there was no one on the island, I set off towards the sacred cherry tree. 】
The note ends here, and the pages at the back of Manyo are all blank. It seems that the final destination of the owner of this note is the sacred cherry tree mentioned in the book.
"That's all." Wanyo closed the book and asked Beidou, "How do you think? Sister, do you want to take a look? This sacred cherry tree may be what you need."
"Okay, let's go, but we have agreed beforehand that you must all listen to me and not act without authorization!"
Seeing the three people nodding in agreement, Beidou took the lead and walked along the road towards the sacred cherry tree.
After walking not far, they saw a huge sinkhole in front of them. The four of them looked into the sinkhole. What was strange was that the huge sacred cherry tree was blooming with brilliant cherry blossoms. The breeze blew and the cherry blossoms swayed.
Falling to the ground.
Xiang Ling and Zhong Mo both happily looked at the huge and beautiful cherry blossom tree in front of them, showing happy smiles.
Manyo and Beidou looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Because in their perception, the big tree in front of them was clearly lifeless, but what everyone saw in front of them at this moment was a giant tree with brilliant cherry blossoms.
"How is this going?"
"What's wrong? Sister?"
Beidou told the two of them what he perceived. Zhong Mo and Xiang Ling also showed surprised expressions, but Zhong Mo's eyes were more curious.
"Anyway, let's go down and take a look first. Maybe we'll find something new. You all hide behind me and be careful if anything happens."
The four of them walked down a path next to the sinkhole. Along the way, they saw many warrior armors and bones scattered on the ground. Beidou's eyes became more solemn. This place did not look so safe.
When they finally reached the root of the giant tree, they discovered that the root system around the root of the giant tree penetrated into the surrounding walls, pulling the entire tree violently into the air, and underneath the suspended roots, there were actually
A huge red thing that looks like a squirming meat ball.
At this time, a young man's voice also sounded from behind the four people: "I didn't expect that there would be guests visiting at this time. Then I have to greet this rare guest..."
