When Chen Zhi and others arrived at their destination, it was already past noon. When they arrived at Nasu Town, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.
In the past, Chen Zhi had repeatedly imagined what this ancient town looked like. He always associated this town with the mysterious and closed Fox Village before, thinking that this ancient town must be a closed town with a strange atmosphere.
But when they got here, they found that the reality was completely different from what they had imagined. Although this town was located in a remote place, what they saw in front of them was a large commercial street, full of colorful advertising boards, various shops, and stalls.
There is a dazzling array of products, and there is an endless flow of people everywhere you look. This town is a vibrant ancient Japanese folk culture town.
There are shadows of Japanese tradition everywhere in the town, like a big temple fair, with people coming and going, and it is very lively. In front of many shops, there are illuminated billboards with pictures of the Nine-tailed Fox Fairy and the Onmyoji Abe in sexy clothes.
Seimei's cartoon portrait, Lao Yu told them that the signs around the town were written in Japanese about the legend of Seimei Seimei sealing Tamamo no Mae. There were also girls dressed as nine-tailed fox fairies in front of some shops.
image to attract customers.
Most of the people on the street were wearing kimonos, and some women were dressed up very colorfully, waving small Japanese fans, some children in kimonos were running around in the streets, and young students were eating takoyaki with great interest, everywhere.
There are vendors selling balloons and marshmallows, as well as traditional Japanese street games such as ring-making and "catching for goldfish". The whole town has a bustling and lively scene.
"This... is so mysterious!" Fat Wei said with a long mouth, and then he was speechless.
Chen Zhi didn't say anything. He walked into the commercial street with a few people carrying a heavy travel bag. He saw that the stalls around him were basically selling souvenirs of Fox Fairy or Ampei Qingming, including fans; dolls.
, as well as key chains, and even killing stone chocolates. It seems that it is true as what Lao Yu said, and the people in this town make a living from the tourism industry brought by this legend.
A few of them walked around the commercial street, but did not see any hotel in the town. Chen Zhi walked to a stall at this time. The stalls were filled with puppets and fans, and the fan was painted with a costume.
There are several fox tails behind the Japanese woman, which is probably a portrait of Tamamo Mae. The stall owner is a middle-aged Japanese man. When Chen Zhi and others came over, he enthusiastically introduced his products to them.
Only Lao Yu in the team knew Japanese, so he acted as the translator.
"Uncle Lao Yu, ask him where the legendary mountain in front of Ampei Qingming sealed Tamamo is located?" Chen Zhi said to Lao Yu.
Lao Yu chatted with the middle-aged Japanese man for a while. The man suddenly turned his head to Chen Zhi, then smiled mysteriously and said in jerky Chinese: "Are these friends looking for the killing stone?"
"Oh! This...is it." Fat Wei was immediately stopped by the question and replied, "Do you know where the killing stone is?"
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said to Pang Wei with a mysterious face: "The killing stone is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in Nasu Town. It is very precious. If you want to see it, you have to pay a price."
"What's the price? Tell me," Fat Wei forgot for a moment that he couldn't understand Chinese and asked directly.
The man did not listen carefully to Fat Wei's words, but said "big price" again, then turned around and shouted something in Japanese to the back of the stall, which sounded like "Mom".
"What do you mean? Does he know where the Killing Stone is? That's impossible!" Chen Zhi looked up and down speechlessly at this Japanese man, who was wearing a torn straw hat and was all dark-skinned. He didn't see anything special about him.
At this time, an old Japanese lady walked out of the shop. This old lady was almost old and scummy. Her face was full of deep wrinkles and her head was messy white hair. She was wearing half-worn clothes and two wooden clogs on her feet.
.
The middle-aged man explained a few words to the old lady in Japanese, then turned around and asked Pang Wei in jerky Chinese: "Are you willing to pay the price? If you are willing, I will take you to see the precious killing stone.
"
"Hey, I'll go! What's the price? Then go and see it!" Fat Wei seemed to find it funny and replied in a hushed tone.
At this time, the old Japanese lady turned around, looked at Chen Zhi's team with cloudy eyes, then looked around, waved her hand in a "go" gesture, turned around and said, "Ta! Ta! Ta!"
He walked quickly towards the town.
Chen Zhi and others immediately followed her. Everyone was confused at this time, so they had to follow her to have a look. They found that although this old lady was older, she was strong and had two little feet wearing wooden clogs. She walked
Fast.
"I said Lao Yu, you should ask her, does she really know where the killing stone is? Isn't that reliable?" Fat Wei said as he walked.
Before Lao Yu could ask, the old lady suddenly said in broken Chinese, "The killing stone is a treasure. Only I know where it is, but you have to pay the price." After speaking, she held out a finger.
"What do you mean? You want to chop off our fingers?" Chen Zhi suddenly felt that this thing was too ridiculous, but since he had followed him here and couldn't find a hotel for the time being, he followed the old lady to check it out first.
It won't do any harm.
The old lady quickly walked out of the bustling commercial street and entered the back of the town. There were a lot fewer people here, and she could see the green hills behind the town.
There are many traditional Japanese houses standing here, all with a strong Japanese style and Japanese courtyards. The old lady took them into one of the courtyards.
This should be the old lady's home, but from the outside, it looks more like a B&B. The structure of the house is very simple, consisting of floor, pillars and roof. There is a corridor under the extended eaves. Chen Zhi is on TV
I have seen it in Japan. This is called a shidai in Japan, and is used for people to cool off or take a nap. The inside of the room is separated by sliding doors, making it look very spacious.
The old lady asked them to sit down on the table first and walked in. After a while, the old lady came out and brought them tea and some Japanese pastries.
Chen Zhi was not in the mood to eat cakes, so he said to Lao Yu: "Ask this old lady for me, is the location of the Killing Stone far away? If it is far, let's find a place to settle down first, and then set off tomorrow."
Lao Yu translated with the old lady according to Chen Zhi's words, and the old lady answered some questions in Japanese.
At this time, Lao Yu turned around and said to Chen Zhi: "The old lady said it's not far, and there's no need to set off tomorrow. The killing stone is in her yard."
