I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 151 I am a professional demon hunter

The location of Hishizawa Monster City is not far from Xiaoli Hot Spring Hotel. Dongye Yu ran all the way here and it only took him twenty minutes.

At this time, there was still about an hour before the departure time announced by Jinguji Nobuaki last night, so there was no need to rush like when we came here.

Of course, if you go back earlier, you might be able to catch breakfast.

Therefore, although Dong Ye Yu did not run, his pace was not slow. He walked back while observing the scenery in the forest.

At this time, the morning mist in the forest had almost dissipated, the sun rose, and the warm sunlight sprinkled through the gaps between the treetops, with slanted beams of light falling sporadically.

Golden spots of light shone on the moist rotten leaves. Bright and delicious mushrooms grew wildly. There was a rustling sound under the carpet of dead branches and leaves. The shadows of woodlice and centipedes flashed by. Tiny dust danced leisurely in the light column. The air was filled with a fresh smell with a slight hint of rotten leaves.

This is a forest full of life.

Not only that, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is much richer than in Tokyo, so practicing here will definitely be much faster than in Tokyo.

No wonder people on the island are also into practicing Buddhism in the mountains. In Inzai City, there are more than a dozen Buddhist temples on the various hills near the primeval forest in the nature reserve, such as Guanyin Temple, Guanghua Temple, etc.

Shrines are everywhere. There is basically one or two small shrines in every village or town. Their names are very impressive, and they are all dedicated to XX great gods.

However, if you look closely, you will find that most of them are lewd shrines built by local people, and the gods enshrined are all unknown wild gods - the only righteous god in this area is the Hishizawa Water God.

If I can have a mountain villa of my own in the future, I will probably build it in a mountain like this, surrounded by mountains and water, and very comfortable.

Higashino Yu imagined that scene and sighed with satisfaction as if he already had it.

If you don’t have money to buy a house, are you not allowed to dream?
The path created by mountain animals soon disappeared under my feet, replaced by soft dead branches and leaves and weeds that were almost as high as a person's chest.

Fortunately, a path had been cleared that was barely passable when we arrived. However, when we walked on it, the hem of our clothes stained with dark red blood was still wet by the dew-covered grass, which was quite annoying.

Dongye Yu wanted several times to change back to his original form and quickly leave this desolate forest.

But this place is far away from the maze surrounding the Monster Market, it's just a pure mountain forest, and gradually approaching the mortal world. I'm worried about encountering shikigami, talisman paper figures, etc. sent by monster hunters to investigate in advance.

I had no choice but to patiently hide in the grass.

About twenty minutes later, Dong Yeyu came to a slope covered with pine and cypress trees. Standing here and looking down, he could see a winding asphalt road not far away through the gaps between the dense pine and cypress leaves.

The road, edged with moss, leads to a small, semi-abandoned parking lot, with a leaf-covered bluestone path leading to the top of the mountain.

A stone torii that looks like a large archway stands on the bluestone road, and the already mottled and dilapidated plaque reads the four words "Hishizawa Great God".

This is the approach to Hishizawa Shrine.

The highway was probably built by the local government for the tourism industry. It goes up to the small parking lot of the shrine and down to the large parking lot of Momogo Town. There are many hotels, hot spring hotels and souvenir shops along the way.

However, now that the news of missing tourists on the Internet has become more and more serious, the tourism industry has suffered a fatal blow, and many shops and hotels have closed down.

The bamboo forest is quite conspicuous on the hillside of Xiashan Mountain. Although bamboo is regarded as a symbol of gentleman in China, it is actually a very domineering plant.

You will hardly see other kinds of trees in a bamboo forest, and even shrubs are rare.

Dong Yeyu walked down the hillside and walked for a while until his wooden clogs stepped on the flat and solid road, and then he felt relieved.

Looking down, I saw that the hem of my yukata was already soaked through with blood. The cold, wet clothes stuck to my skin, making me feel uncomfortable.

The shirt was tattered, as if several blood-soaked strips of cloth were hung on the body, vaguely revealing the claw marks and wounds on the upper body, barely serving to cover up the shame.

If someone who doesn’t know me sees me, they might think I was wearing a yukata and going to the primeval forest to shoot a wilderness survival program and fighting with wild beasts.

Although it was indeed a life-and-death battle with the beast.

If a demon hunter asks about it when he gets back, how will he explain it? Dong Yeyu walked down the winding mountain road, thinking about what to say in his mind.

"Young man! What's wrong with you?"

"He doesn't look familiar. He doesn't look like a young person from the town. He must be a tourist. Seriously, didn't we tell you not to go into the mountains recently?"

"Did he encounter a bear?"

"What nonsense!"

When I looked up, I saw a few elderly people walking up the road not far away with backpacks on their backs and baseball caps on. When they saw me like this, they were horrified.

They all came over and talked a lot. One handed him a towel, another handed him some clean water, and another saw the skin and bloodstains on Dong Yeyu's back that had been rolled up and scabbed over, so he hurriedly took out his cell phone to call the emergency number.

Do I need to be sent to the hospital for such a minor injury? I'm afraid the injury will almost heal before the ambulance arrives.

Dong Ye Yu didn't want to go back and forth, and he had to go into the mountains with the team later, so he hurriedly stopped them.

"Old man, there's no need to call the emergency number. I'm fine. I just happened to encounter a wild animal in the mountains and suffered some minor injuries."

As a great monster, he has completed his foundation. Although he has not specialized in physical training, he is full of energy and his physique and strength are far superior to those of ordinary people.

Although the wounds from the claws of the cassock were deep, they did not damage the internal organs and bones, and now they no longer affect the movement.

I estimate that I should be able to fully recover in another hour or two.

"Young man, don't be so stubborn!" The old man was stunned for a second and said seriously, the wound was almost cutting through the stomach, and you're still okay?

The other old men also had stern faces and grabbed Dong Yeyu's arm, saying, "If you don't give me an explanation today, you'll definitely be sent to the hospital."

Dong Ye Yu originally wanted to break free and run away, but he was afraid of hurting these old men. Many elderly people would die after a fall, they are really fragile.

After thinking for a moment, he helplessly took out a paper man made of a white talisman from his arms and threw it out.

The paper man swayed in the air, and then suddenly seemed to come alive, shuttling between the old men, and finally hovering in front of Dong Ye Yu.

"I'm a professional demon exorcist. So please don't worry. My body knows what's going on. I'm really fine."

The Ministry of Religion, Culture, Science and Technology prevents civilians from knowing about supernatural beings such as monsters and gods mainly by controlling the media, down to the level of individual exorcists. It does not have laws as strict as the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter.

The old men had lived for so long that they had naturally heard various legends in the town and even encountered some strange things that were difficult to explain, but this was the first time they had seen one in broad daylight.

They looked at this scene, staring at the paper man for a long time, still skeptical. Some of them even wanted to reach out and touch it, as if to see if there was any fishing line or something on it.

It was not until Dong Ye Yu used the demon-slaying technique to transform the paper man into a body of fine steel and smashed a moss-covered dead tree that they were convinced.

One of the old men looked at the paper figure with a complicated expression.

The others looked excited, probably wanting to ask something, but Dong Ye Yu took the initiative and questioned them.

"As the old gentlemen just said, people are now forbidden to enter the mountains, so how dare you come here?"

"Well, Hishizawa Shrine isn't really in the mountains, is it?"

The old men scratched their heads and looked at each other, feeling a little guilty.
