The Hida Mountains are located in the center of Japan. They pass through several prefectures from north to south and reach the sea. They form a cliff like an ax and a knife on the seashore. It is a good place to commit suicide in the sea. Sometimes you need to queue up, which is second only to the suicide forest.
The perfect destination for life.
The formation of its terrain is due to the uplift of a small geological plate and then the invasion of glaciers. It has a very old history and is similar to the formation of the Alps. It has a V-shaped valley carved by a large number of glaciers. In ancient times, glaciers relied on their huge mass due to gravity.
It moves and slowly accumulates by developing a few centimeters a year.
The British missionary Weston once wrote a book about the process and scenery of visiting the Hida Mountains at the end of the 19th century, called "Japanese Alps Mountaineering and Exploration". He compared the scenery of the Hida Mountains with the Alps. It was very interesting.
After praising it, the Hida Mountains became famous around the world as the "Japanese Alps" and became one of Japan's famous mountains.
Now it is a tourist resort. You can climb mountains and enjoy the scenery. Skiing in winter is also good. The western slope is included in the Central Mountain National Park. Hydropower stations have also been developed in some valleys in the south. However, because the mountain is too long, the scenery is not charming everywhere.
, there are also several dormant volcanoes, the terrain is quite dangerous, and there are also many inaccessible places.
At least Kitahara Hideji led Fuyumi and the others into the mountain according to the map. They walked at the entrance of the Zengchishan branch at the eastern tail of the mountain range. There were only a few small forestry villages at the foot of the mountain. Once they entered the mountain, there were not many people at all, and it was still in an undeveloped state.
Or the development value itself is not high and no one cares about it at all.
Japan's forest coverage rate is 66%. The forest on the Zengchi branch has spread to an altitude of 2,500 meters. There are many trees, thick bushes, and many wild animals. Snow is the first to open the way with a stick and murderous look, looking left and right, at any time.
Preparing for a snack, Fuyumi Haruna followed closely, and Kitahara Shuji held the back of the team with his backpack. Finally, everyone walked for more than three hours to a small valley in the mountains.
The road was difficult to walk, so he carried Haruna on his back for part of the way, but Haruna was still not very strong.
Fuyumi pursed her lips and stood above the river valley. She compared it with the "ancestral map" taken with her mobile phone and said, "It should be here. Let's go down, be careful."
After saying that, she took advantage of her light body and tried the road first, jumping in the snow to follow. Kitahara Shuji and Haruna carefully looked up and down the valley, but found no one, and then they looked at each other and followed.
Finally, the group of them arrived safely near a pool at one end of a river valley. This was a pool formed by the river water falling from a height, and the water volume of the river seemed to increase sharply from here, winding down the river.
It will probably enter the Kiso River and eventually flow into the Pacific Ocean.
Xueli looked at the slightly turbid pool water with a serious expression. She looked around and asked, "Sister, where is the thing?"
Fuyumi pointed to the pool and said distressedly: "It's down there."
This is really deceiving. How did you find this place back then? She gritted her baby teeth, threw her backpack aside, and said, "I'll go down first to confirm."
Don’t believe everything your ancestors say, let’s explore the road first.
Kitahara Shuji did not object, and tied a rope around Fuyumi's waist, just in case something unexpected happened, he could drag her up. Then Fuyumi jumped down, and there was no movement for a while.
Xueli stared nervously at the water surface, but soon Fuyumi came up again, her lips were blue, and she said with a trembling voice: "Down there... there is water, water, water channel below, you can go in, and... and in the scroll record
The same."
This pool is connected to an underground river, and instead of flowing into the underground river, the river water spurts out muddy water from the underground river.
"Then let's go down together!" Kitahara Shuji had already started to pack all the things he needed to use tightly with waterproof rain bags to ensure that they would not get wet in a short time. He then said to Yuki: "Yukiri, you are here
Watch, don't run around, if we pull hard on the rope, you will drag us all up."
She is like a weight in the snow. She sinks to the bottom when she enters the water. She can't swim at all. She can't do any work in the water, but she can still do some security work outside. If a bear comes... Then whoever eats it can't say no.
That’s right!
Yukiri nodded seriously, and Haruna and Kitahara Shuji also went into the water. Fuyumi led the way, and dived in again as soon as her butt flipped, Haruna followed, and Kitahara Shuji followed at the end, dragging a waterproof package.
The pool became muddier as he dived deeper. Kitahara Shuji reluctantly opened his eyes and swam along the rope that Fuyumi was dragging. Fuyumi dived for a short while and pointed at a large hole on the granite pool wall that could only accommodate one person.
The crack indicated that this was where it was, and she dove in.
When Kitahara Shuji swam to the entrance of the crack, he felt that although the jet of water was not very strong, it contained a lot of fine sand, which made his head, face and eyes sting slightly. Moreover, the water temperature was obviously colder than the pool water, which made his body feel even more uncomfortable.
Very uncomfortable.
Fuyumi swam hard in front like a little mermaid, with only two short legs swinging rapidly, resisting the impact of the current and struggling to move forward. It seemed that the more she swam, the higher she went. Soon she felt her body lightened and her head was exposed.
The water surface, and when I reached out my hand, I also touched the rocks.
She was mentally prepared. After all, the scroll mentioned that there was a big hole through the underground river. She reached out and touched around, climbed up directly, and started to drag Haruna and Kitahara Shuji this way. She didn't dare to use too much force, fearing that
On the other side, Xueli felt something was wrong and got angry and dragged the three of them back again, which would have been a waste of time.
Kitahara Shuji and Haruna also climbed onto the rock platform. When exposed to the air, it seemed to be ten times colder than the water, and water splashed on their faces. He quickly took out two dry blankets from the package and threw them to Fuyumi.
He Haruna took out the emergency light from the waterproof package, turned it on and looked forward, and was stunned.
The hole was very narrow but very high. There were several large holes in the wall of the hole, and water was spraying out. It fell on the concave platform where I was sitting, causing water all over the sky, and then rolled back. After taking off most of the force, I came back again.
It turned a corner and flowed quickly from high to low towards the outside of the cave.
And just below the side of the concave platform that was hit by the rewinding torrent of the cave wall, there was a stone nest. When the light was illuminated, it was shining with diffuse golden light, with a shallow layer of gold sand, and it reflected the relatively gentle water surface.
, refracted a hole full of golden light, and the waves swayed slightly, making the cave wall look like a galaxy descending into the world, constantly flashing, very bright and dazzling.
Gold is magical. Kitahara Shuji looked at the gold sand with such determination that he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He forgot about the cold for a moment and walked over involuntarily.
He waded closer as if afraid of disturbing something. He squatted down and touched it very carefully. His fingers were cold, but his heart felt inexplicably hot. Gold has always been synonymous with wealth. Modern people do
Unfortunately, 99% of people have never seen such original gold sand.
Fuyumi and Haruna didn't know when they came over, and Fuyumi even murmured: "Is this the 'Golden Nest'?"
Is this an heirloom discovered by the Fukuzawa family's ancestors and passed down from generation to generation?
Haruna was much stronger than the two of them, and there was no fluctuation in her tone at all. She quietly replied: "It should be, eldest sister!"
It's really a golden nest, the name is correct...a pit is full of gold sand.
Her calm words woke up Kitahara Hideji. He couldn't help but feel ashamed that he was actually a common man. He actually became stunned when he saw gold. He still didn't have enough character and was easily moved by foreign objects.
He silently reflected on himself for a moment, and then looked at the nest of golden sand, his eyes became clear again. It was no wonder that Fukuzawa Naobei heard that his brother was seriously ill and was dying, so he ran back from Kyushu to grab it. He may have heard of it from his father before.
But according to the ancestral teachings, he had no share in this thing, and he was very eager for gold, so he ignored it.
Gold is really magical and has the power to make people obsessed. Only when you truly touch this primitive gold can you understand the magical feeling. It is no wonder that the ancients regarded this thing as one of the precious currencies.
People feel itchy just looking at it.
Kitahara Shuji handed over the emergency light in his hand to Fuyumi, letting the dazed little money fan see enough. He turned on a flashlight to check the topography of the cave and study how this miracle of nature was formed.
He looked at it for a while and thought that the groundwater must have passed through a certain gold vein and washed out some placer gold. It may have been buried very deep. Then due to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other reasons, the stone wall here was broken, and the placer gold was washed away.
The groundwater split into several streams and spurted out from here, then fell to the platform and rolled back, forming a situation where multiple streams of water continuously vibrated and collided. Its power was weak enough to take away the gravel, mud and sand, while the relatively heavy gold sand sank to the ground.
Entering the stone nest on the platform...
This is actually a small automatic gold mining field formed by nature. It can only be said that there are several, dozens or even hundreds of coincidences that came together to form this small geological miracle.
Hideji Kitahara looked around and had an idea. He felt that the ancestors of the Fukuzawa family had a good life. It was most likely that he escaped by diving when he was being chased. He discovered this magical place when he fell down the river from a high place. It was also possible that
I wanted to catch some fish to eat or even fell into the water, but later I found a grain of gold sand on my clothes. I looked for it out of curiosity and found the crack, then I came in and took a look, and finally discovered this treasure, the unlucky days in the mountains, Fuyumi and their ancestors
It was quite vague. I guess it would be humiliating to lose the battle, and it would be disrespectful to be hunted down, so I directly used the Spring and Autumn style of writing.
Kitahara Hideji was filled with admiration as he looked at this exquisite natural structure. But as soon as the light flickered, he noticed lines of writing on the stone wall. He couldn't help but walk over and take a closer look. He was speechless for a moment.
Two names are lightly carved on the stone wall, with two hearts pierced by arrows in the middle. The names are "Zhilong, Guonai".
Konai is Fuyumi and their mother's name. This is not important, but isn't it a big secret that only the head of the family knows? Fukuzawa Naotaka also brought his wife here? What about the ancestral teaching? And just come, and show your affection. This
It really makes people... really makes people speechless.
Kitahara Shuji looked at it for a while, and felt cold all over his body again. Maybe Naotaka Fukuzawa was once young, but in his impression, Naotaka Fukuzawa looked like an old man. This idea was that the old man showed affection... he could really show off his appearance.
Goosebumps.
He turned back again, still speechless for a while. The little carrot head had an ugly money-obsessed look on his face, and he was excitedly bagging gold sand for fear of losing a grain, while Haruna held up a lamp to illuminate her.
It’s right to take gold. There’s nothing to say. It’s really a gift from God. If you don’t take it, I’m afraid you’ll be struck by lightning. But why don’t you two be careful about me? This is gold! It’s so embarrassing for me to be like this. You can’t be.
Do you think I don’t have the ability to grab it?
Why do I have such a strong character in your hearts? You should doubt me for a while!
I am not a gentleman, am I? Is this a disguised form of giving me the good guy card?
