Chapter 439 God of Fortune

Latest website: The fact that the discovery channel is located in the city has greatly enhanced everyone’s confidence.

The swarm opened the road ahead for reconnaissance, and the escort vehicle headed along the main road towards the city center.

The urban scene along the way is very Japanese-style.

There are street shops with Japanese billboards, brilliant neon lights, cherry blossom trees planted along the river streets, residential roads with steep upward and downward angles, narrow and low alleys, etc.

There was no one in the city, and it was dead silent except for the sound of the wind.

Fortunately, nothing is the best thing,

No one dared to wander around in the city, so Wanli Fengdao drove the vehicle and slowly arrived at the destination.

This is a residential area hidden on the edge of the busy city. Most of the buildings are two- or three-story brick and wooden structures. The ordinary residential villas of each family look to be old.

The yard of each small house is surrounded by a brick fence. On the edge of the fence is a black-and-white sign with the name of so-and-so's house written on it.

It's a bit like the Big Bear's house in the anime "Doraemon", but it's more remote, quiet and dilapidated.

The vehicle carrying four players circled around the residential area for several times, and finally narrowed down the target location to three connected residential buildings.

Since the alley where the three residential buildings were located was too narrow to pass traffic, several players simply parked their cars at the end of the alley and entered the alley on foot.

"arrive,"

Xing Hechou held his pocket watch and looked up at a three-story residential building with yellow paint and red tiles. He took a deep breath and said, "The passage to the next floor should be in this house."

Standing next to him, Wanli Fengdao subconsciously licked his lips.

The Japanese-style small villa in front of us can be described as "dilapidated and dilapidated".

Most of the flowers in the flower pots on the edge of the wall are dead, and there are a bunch of old wires leading to different rooms hung on the walls with peeling paint. There is also an outdoor air conditioner covered with heavy dust outside the room on the left side of the second floor.

It looks ordinary,

But it just gave him an extremely strong sense of foreboding.

"Fushen family..."

Liu Wushao looked at the sign hanging on the wall and said softly: "Is the person who lives in this house named Fushen?"

Wanli Fengdao asked: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this surname?"

Liu Wushao shook his head, "In ancient times, most Japanese people had no surnames. Until the Meiji Restoration, the Meiji promulgated the "Common People's Miao Character Permission Order", allowing all Japanese people, including civilians, to have surnames.

However, people were worried that having a surname would bring about tax issues, and were not enthusiastic about this matter. As a result, the "Miao Zibi Chong Order" was issued throughout the Meiji period, ordering people to take a surname.

At that time, the Japanese people's cultural literacy was backward, and most of the names were obtained from local materials, so they appeared to be all kinds of strange.

The residents at the foot of the mountain were named Yamashita, those near the paddy fields were named Tanabe, the fishermen were named Ebina, and the cultural people were named Bunbu, or their surnames were based on customs, festivals, business names, events, and auspiciousness.

The surname Fukugami is a surname related to shrines and Shinto. "

"Shinto?"

Wanli Fengdao raised his eyebrows. Before becoming a player, his knowledge of Hijima Shinto culture was limited to beautiful witches wearing exaggerated costumes.

After becoming a player, I gained a lot of obscure knowledge. I learned that Shinto is a traditional sect on the island of Japan and is an animistic and polytheistic faith.

The gods referred to here are not really superior gods.

The Japanese word for god, かみ, can refer not only to traditional gods and Buddhas, but also to the undead souls of humans, the spirits of plants and trees, and even to the vicious gods and evil spirits that have been passed down with terrifying legends.

Shinto regards various animals and plants in nature as gods, and Nishima as the dwelling place of gods. All things have spirits, and there are gods everywhere they go, so there is a saying of "eight million gods".

"I remember there seems to be an ancient shrine on the east side of the city, right?"

Wanli Fengdao frowned and said, "Do you want to go there to investigate first?

Or go to the police station in this city to check for information related to the God of Fortune? "

"Well..."

Xing Hechou took out the map of the city that he had taken from a street convenience store (the map showed that this city is called 'Geshan City', which is a municipality under the jurisdiction of Geshan County and does not exist in the real world. .The counties of Rishima are larger than the cities),

Spread it out in front of you,

He then took out the Chinese, Japanese and English pamphlet with "Ugeyama City Travel Guide" and compared it, then said: "The shrine to the east of the city is Yihime Shrine. According to the introduction, it enshrines the local protector, the goddess Yoshie. Ji.

The lake on the mountain behind the shrine is called the original place. There is a local legend that if you come to the lake before you die, you can be reincarnated and start your regretful life over again.

In the past few years, there have been incidents of tourists slipping into the lake and almost drowning, so it is temporarily closed to the public. "

Liu Wushao asked: "Where is the name of the shrine manager?"

"It wasn't mentioned above."

Xing Hechou shook his head, "But I dare to write down in the tourist brochure the fact that a tourist fell into the lake and almost drowned...

The brain circuits of the Japanese people are really strange. "

"After all, the legend of reincarnation, combined with real events, is a good marketing gimmick."

Wanli Fengdao shrugged and said nonchalantly: "In the real world, Hidao, there have been a lot of anime about reincarnation in other worlds recently, and they are almost finished.

It can only be said that literary and artistic works reflect the current situation of society. Young people who are exploited by a high-pressure society cannot find relief in this world, so they can only hope to be reincarnated in another world and become human beings. "
