Chapter 927 Chapter 6: Mountain God
It takes about an hour to drive from Isehara City to Mount Tanno.
This can be said to be a real countryside place.
After leaving the city, Yagyu told the two of them the history of the mountain.
"This mountain worships mountain gods. Fuso's mountain gods are very different from those in China. Aside from the more famous Oyama Tsuzumi, every mountain in Fuso has its own mountain god. And the one worshipped by Tannoyama is a mountain god named Moanke."
Sherlock asked, resting his chin on his hand.
"There is no record of this in these files."
"Hahahaha." Yagyu laughed heartily a few times.
"Ma'am! Some things are never recorded in archives. Many local histories and notes exist only in written text. I happen to have lived longer and traveled more, so my experiences are somewhat broader than those of the average person."
"Actually, you can speak Fuso with us." Leia said with a smile.
"Your Chinese is a bit... ahem."
[Ah, no, I don’t understand you guys speaking Japanese.]
"Mr. Li Muhan, do you think I can't even do such a small thing?"
Leia used the Japanese language to speak this sentence, and subtitles were automatically generated on Li Muhan's end.
[Holy crap!! This skill is awesome! I have a bunch of books and raw meat here, can you please...]
With Li Muhan around, the atmosphere was quite lively.
With all the banter and jokes along the way, the car soon arrived at Dongsheng Township, which is under the jurisdiction of Kanagawa Prefecture.
Because Mount Tanye is not an isolated mountain.
It is adjacent to the famous Mount Tanzawa on Mount Omuro, but its scale and fame are far inferior to these two mountains.
Maybe it has something to do with his geographical location.
Although it is close to a famous mountain, the entrance to the mountain is very steep, and the mountain is covered with clouds and fog all year round.
Even at the foot of the mountain it is difficult to see the road clearly.
In addition, due to some special reasons, the government did not deliberately transform the mountain.
In this way, Mount Danye looks more like a barren mountain.
Looking from the top of the nearby Tanzawa Daisen, you can see the oppressive dark clouds and black trees of Tannoyama among the clouds.
This has also been established as a tourist attraction by Tanzawa Daisen.
[Looking at Hell]
There are no famous places or scenery, and transportation is not convenient.
Dongsheng Township, to which Danye Mountain belongs, also has a sparse population.
Most people moved to the vicinity of Mount Tanze.
Dongsheng Township Jiaofan is also deserted at the moment, and the only thing that can be praised is the fresh air.
When Yagyu parked the car in front of the police station, Rhea and Sherlock found that there was an old police officer in uniform standing at the door of the police station, and next to him was a woman in a suit and glasses who looked a little domineering.
"Welcome to Fuso."
The woman greeted Rhea and Sherlock after they got out of the car.
"I'm a staff member of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Fuso Tokyo Special Management Bureau. My last name is Fang Haru, and my name is Fang Haru Riko."
"Ms. Fang Chun, they didn't say they would send you here."
Liu Sheng also stepped forward and shook hands with Fang Chun, and then asked.
"The problem of Danye Mountain has plagued the local government for years. As long as the headless corpse case remains unsolved, there will be no real progress in the renovation and construction of this area. This is a major project that affects people's livelihoods, and the East Special Bureau attaches great importance to it."
After hearing Fang Haruriko's answer, Yagyu was obviously a little displeased.
Isn't it obvious that you don't believe in yourself?
Li Muhan couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.
Due to a series of wartime policies of the Fuso Special Administration Bureau, many gods and monsters became completely disappointed with this land and left.
Although the situation has improved now, the relationship between the aliens and the Special Management Bureau is still very tense.
I remember that I caught three sickle-tailed weasels before. It seemed that they had smuggled in, but unfortunately they followed the wrong people.
I followed an old earth dragon who didn't know how to live or die, and I don't know what he is doing now.
"Everyone, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."
The old policeman wrapped himself in thick clothes and said.
So several people entered the exchange office.
Leia looked around and found that the entire police station was very deserted. Including the old police officer, there were only three people in total.
Just as she was about to retrieve the files of these three police officers.
Sherlock winked at her.
Rhea sighed helplessly, knowing that Sherlock wanted her not to use the power of Prometheus so that the investigation would be more interesting.
But she wasn't here for the fun.
So he looked up the identity information of several police officers and sent it to Li Muhan.
The two older officers are both from Dongsheng Township and have worked here almost their entire lives. The younger female officer is from Osaka. Judging from her expression, she seems to be feeling frustrated here.
Li Muhan said with a smile.
After all, he was only 25 years old, and he could only stay in this remote place with nothing to praise except the air, and there were only two veteran police officers around him.
It's normal to feel depressed.
The two veteran police officers asked the female officer to move out some files.
"Here are all the notes about Tannoyama. However, most of them are based on the memories of former Kobansho chiefs. Their authenticity is unknown, so the local archives will not record them."
He smiled and patted the stack of files.
At this time, Sherlock looked at the watch on the old policeman's wrist and said with a smile: "This watch is nice."
The old policeman was stunned for a moment, then immediately withdrew his hand.
"My son gave it to me. Hahaha. It's worthless. It's fake."
It's really interesting that his son is just a driver for a transportation company. His annual income is only RMB 150,000, but he can afford a watch worth over RMB 4 million.
Li Muhan said while drinking black coffee.
Of course he didn't understand these luxury goods because Sherlock sent the information to Rhea at the same time, and Rhea sent the information to Li Muchan, and also sent the authentication code of the watch and the identity information of the buyer after confirming the authentication code to Li Muchan.
All this took less than a second.
What appeared before Li Muhan was a very detailed report.
The buyer had the police officer's identity information.
In other words, he bought the watch himself.
[This is much more than what the Special Administrative Region Bureau can earn by working hard.] Li Muhan smiled bitterly, then printed out the information and posted it on the whiteboard next to him.
The archive basically tells the legend of Mount Tanye again.
It's nothing more than bandits, black hot springs, and the headless legend of Toyokawa Asazo, which are basically all supernatural in nature.
There was only one thing that concerned Li Muhan.
That is a strange thing that happened thirty years ago when a director named Yoichi Ozawa recorded it.
That night, a young girl in gorgeous clothes suddenly ran out from Danye Mountain. The girl had a dignified and beautiful appearance and looked to be about twenty years old.
Her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and her teeth were black.
Because it was late at night, Captain Yang Yi, who was on patrol, thought he had seen a ghost. It was only when he looked closer that he realized what was going on.
She was wearing the kind of makeup she wears when she gets married.
After bringing the woman back to the police station, she told Yang Yi tremblingly that she was a college student at Kyoto Prefectural University, majoring in Buddhism.
Having heard that Mount Tanno was once a place where Buddhism flourished in Kamakura, and knowing that her college's folklore professor had been beheaded there decades ago, she came up with the idea of coming to explore.
When I first entered the mountain, I didn't notice anything unusual, but the more I explored, the more I felt like someone was watching me.
She thought it was her own illusion, but soon she found that she was lost. The way down the mountain was also covered by fog. She shouted desperately but no one responded.
Until it was getting dark and I was dizzy with hunger.
In the fog, there were faint sounds of footsteps.
The woman thought someone was passing by and quickly called for help.
Unexpectedly, what came towards her was a group of headless monsters. They were carrying a sedan chair and floated in front of the woman.
The woman fainted from fright.
When she woke up again, she found that her clothes had been changed and she was wearing heavy makeup.
A huge, fat old woman was muttering something with her back to her.
[The head is missing, the bride is gone,
It was dark at night and no one was around.
Red clothes fluttering, blood and tears dripping,
The bell rang softly, standing by the well,
The bride's steps are light and silent.
The song is sad and the clothes are stained with blood.
The sound was extremely miserable, as if someone was crying and humming at the same time.
The woman was so frightened that she was shaking. At this time, the huge old woman seemed to notice that she had woken up, and then slowly turned her head.
[I’m too old to get married, so I’ll feed it to the mountain god.]
Just when a group of headless men were about to lift her up.
Suddenly a fire broke out in the house.
As the flames shot up into the sky, the woman also found an opportunity in the chaos. She ran down the mountain desperately. She didn't know how long she ran or which road she took, but she finally got down the mountain and was met by Director Yang Yi.
Director Yang Yi recorded his shock in his notes. At the same time, he asked the girl to rest in the police station. He turned and went to the office to report the matter to his superiors by phone.
At this moment, the lights in the police station suddenly dimmed.
Then the sound of a bell was heard in the police station.
Yang Yi immediately grasped the pistol. He was the only one on duty tonight, so he was naturally extremely nervous.
There was a loud thunder outside the police station and heavy rain poured down without warning.
[The bride fled, the night wind was strong,
The mountain god is angry, thunder roars.
At this time, Yang Yi suddenly heard the sound of a group of children reciting nursery rhymes in the police station.
He realized something was wrong and quickly left the office and headed towards the lounge.
At this moment, he clearly saw a headless man with a machete walking into the lounge in the dark corridor.
Almost instantly, the girl's screams were heard in the lounge.
Yang Yi rushed over with the gun in hand. When he pushed open the door, he saw that the girl who was still wearing the red kimono had lost her head and was lying in a pool of blood.
Ding ding dong dong.
In his notes, Yang Yi stated that he clearly heard the sound of bells and the children's voices that were like a spell.
[The bells are ringing, the mountain god is coming.
The bride cried, but there was nowhere to turn.
Can't escape, the bride is afraid,
The mountain god is angry, and the night is getting darker.
There is no escape, fate is already determined,
The bride's head, taken by the mountain god.
As the sound of the nursery rhyme gradually disappeared in the heavy rain, Yang Yi knelt down on the ground as if exhausted.
...
...
Sherlock read the notes very carefully.
It's as if every word is to be broken down and analyzed.
After a long while, he chuckled and turned back to Leia.
"It seems we have to go meet this mountain god."
