Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 119 Nasu Town

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 the appearance of this ancient town, and always connected this town with the mysterious and closed fox village before, thinking that this ancient town must be a closed and full of strange atmosphere.

But when they got here, the reality was completely different from what they had imagined. Although this town is located in a remote place, what they saw in front of them was a large commercial street full of colorful billboards, various shops, and stalls. There are a variety of goods here, everywhere the eyes go, and there are endless crowds. This town is a vibrant ancient town of Japanese folk culture.

There are shadows of Japanese tradition everywhere in the town, like a big temple fair, with people coming and going, very lively.There are illuminated billboards erected in front of many shops, with cartoon portraits of Nine-Tailed Fox Immortals and Onmyoji Ampere Seimei on them. Lao Yu told them that the signs around the town are written in Japanese. In that paragraph, Ampere Seimei sealed the legend before Tamamo.In front of some shops, girls are asked to dress up as nine-tailed fox fairies to attract customers.

Most people on the street are wearing kimonos, some women are dressed up very gorgeously, shaking small Japanese fans, some children in kimonos are running around in the street, young students are eating takoyaki with great interest, everywhere Vendors selling balloons and cotton candy, as well as traditional Japanese stall games such as hoop rings and "fishing for goldfish".The whole town is a bustling scene.

"This... is so mysterious!" Fat Wei said with a long mouth, and then he was speechless.

Chen Zhi didn't say anything, and walked into the commercial street with a few people carrying a heavy travel bag.He saw that the surrounding stalls were basically selling souvenirs from Fox Fairy or Ampere Seimei, including fans, dolls, key chains, and even killing stone chocolates.It seems that, as Lao Yu said, the people in this town live off the tourism brought by this legend.

The few of them walked around the commercial street, but they didn't see any hotels in the town.At this moment, Chen Zhi walked to the front of a booth, and there were puppets and fans on the booth. On the fan, there was a picture of a well-dressed Japanese woman with several fox tails behind her. It was probably a portrait of Yuzao Mae.The stall owner was a middle-aged Japanese man. Seeing Chen Zhi and the others approaching, he enthusiastically introduced his products to them.

Lao Yu was the only one in the team who knew Japanese, so he acted as the interpreter.

"Uncle Old Yu, ask him, where is the legendary mountain in front of Yuzao that Anpei Qingming sealed?" Chen Zhi said to Old Yu.

Old Yu chatted with the middle-aged Japanese for a while, then the man suddenly turned his head to Chen Zhi, then smiled mysteriously, and said in jerky Chinese, "A few friends are looking for a killing stone, right?"

"Oh! This... is..." Fat Wei was suddenly stopped by the question, and replied: "Could it be, do you know where the killing stone is?"

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed, and said to Pangwei with a mysterious expression: "The killing stone is a treasure handed down from generation to generation in our Nasu Town, and it is very precious. If you want to see it, you have to pay a price."

"What's the price? Let's hear it." Fat Wei forgot that he couldn't understand Chinese for a moment, and asked directly.

The man didn't listen carefully to Fat Wei's words, but said "big price" again, then turned around, and yelled a sentence in Japanese to the back of the booth, which sounded like "Mom".

"What do you mean? Does he know where the killing stone is? It's impossible!" Chen Zhi looked up and down the Japanese man speechlessly. He was wearing a torn straw hat and was dark all over. He didn't see anything special about him.

At this time, an old Japanese lady came out from the shop. This old lady was almost old, with deep wrinkles on her face, a mess of white hair, wearing half-worn suits, and two clogs on her feet. .

The middle-aged man explained a few words to the old lady in Japanese, and 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? Let's go and see it!" Fat Wei seemed to find it very funny, and replied in a hushed voice.

At this time, the old Japanese lady turned around, looked at Chen Zhi's team with cloudy eyes, looked around, waved her hand, and made a "go" gesture.Turning around, "Da! Da! Da!" walked quickly into the town.

Chen Zhi and the others immediately followed her. Everyone was confused at this moment, so they had no choice but to go and have a look.They found that although the old lady was old, she was physically strong, and her two little feet were wearing wooden clogs, and she walked very fast.

"I said Old Yu, you should ask her, does she really know where the killing stone is? Is it 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, and 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 matter was too absurd, but since he had followed here and couldn't find the hotel for the time being, he followed the old lady to have a look. It won't hurt.

The old lady quickly walked out of the busy 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. The houses all have a strong Japanese style and a Japanese courtyard. The old lady took them into one of the courtyards.

This should be the old lady's home, but it looks more like a bed and breakfast from the outside.The structure of the house is very simple. It consists of three parts: the floor, the pillars and the roof. There is a corridor under the extended eaves. Chen Zhi has seen it on TV.The interior of the room is separated by a sliding door, making it appear spacious.

The old lady asked them to sit down on the table first, and walked in by herself. 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 Old Yu, "Ask this old lady, is the killing stone far away? If it is far away, let's find a place to settle down first, and then we will start tomorrow."

Old Yu translated it to the old lady according to Chen Zhi's words, and the old lady answered some words in Japanese.

At this time, Old Yu turned his head and said to Chen Zhi: "The old lady said, it's not far away, and there is no need to leave tomorrow. The killing stone is in her yard."
