Chapter 1104 Atsuta Shrine!
Chapter 1104 Atsuta Shrine!
The Kusanagi sword is recorded in many Japanese history books and myths and legends, and is a sacred object in the hearts of the Japanese.
The Kusanagi sword, as a national treasure of Japan, is placed in a secret place in Atsuta Shrine.
And Atsuta Shrine is located in the downtown area of Nagoya, a famous city in Japan! Atsuta Shrine is a famous tourist attraction, and tourists usually choose it as their first choice for a trip to Japan.
Late at night that day.
When the crowd around Atsuta Shrine gradually sparse, Lin Chen sneaked into this world-famous historic site unnoticed by anyone with his extraordinary skills.
Atsuta Shrine covers an area of 200,000 square meters. The shrine is full of towering ancient trees and a sea of green everywhere. The entire shrine is shrouded in a quiet and solemn ancient atmosphere, and has always been known as the "Atsuta Forest";
Moreover, there are quite a lot of ancient Japanese legends circulating here, and it has always been known as the "hometown of Japanese myths."
After passing through several deserted and secluded forests, Lin Chen had quietly arrived in front of the main hall of the shrine.
This main hall enshrines five legendary Japanese gods, namely Takeno-no-Miya, Miyagi, Amaterasu, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, and Inano-no-Mikoto. They have been highly valued in the past dynasties of Japan and have extremely high majesty among the people.
The rulers of Japan in all dynasties have expressed their respect for Atsuta Shrine in various forms. The "Nobunaga Screen" in the palace is a wall dedicated by Oda Nobunaga, a great figure in the shogunate era.
Oda Nobunaga once set out from here, defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto, and began his hegemony of spreading military power throughout the world. Therefore, the shrine naturally also enshrines the relics of Oda Nobunaga, a famous Japanese general in the 16th century, to illustrate the development trajectory of Nagoya's history.
In addition, each generation of Japanese emperors and empresses would choose special days to pay homage here to show their respect.
However, it was early summer, not yet the peak tourist season, and Lin Chen's action was very late, so the ancient shrine was already silent and extremely quiet.
Lin Chen held his breath, like a ghost, bypassed the hall, and then quietly went deep into the shrine.
According to the information provided by Ye Kai, there are many ancient monuments behind the hall.
Ancient monuments such as the Nijigocho Bridge and Sakuma Lantern are places where tourists from all over the world come to visit.
However, Lin Chen has only one goal, which is the "Treasure House" located deep in the shrine!
According to Ye Kai, the Kusanagi sword is in the treasure house!
On the surface, the treasure house is a tourist attraction open to the public, divided into two floors. The first floor houses more than 3,000 antiques and artworks, and the second floor houses many precious classical documents and scriptures.
But in fact, the real Kusanagi sword is hidden in the unknown secret basement of this treasure house!
Originally, the Kusanagi sword, as one of the "three sacred artifacts", is one of the three great treasures that symbolize the succession to the throne of the emperors of all dynasties. It should be located in the Emperor's Palace.
But Ye Kai said that this famous sword with a long history is not in the Japanese Imperial Palace, but has been enshrined in this shrine!
This is because in some ancient legends, this sword seems to have special magic power, which can easily cause various harms to people.
And the ancient people were more superstitious. After some unfathomable phenomena occurred, they would use the power of religion to eliminate the influence of these treasures.
The fact that the Kusanagi sword was enshrined here instead of being placed in the palace is the most favorable evidence.
Moreover, even if the Atsuta Shrine has tens of millions of tourists visiting and admiring it every year, they don't know... The real Kusanagi sword has been "sleeping" under their eyes!
Lin Chen didn't spend much effort to find the treasure house deep in the shrine.
This treasure house is located in three ancient woods. At first glance, the deep ancient atmosphere makes people awe-inspiring.
Lin Chen hid in the dark and observed secretly. He found that in addition to a team of security personnel patrolling back and forth at the door, there seemed to be some special aura hidden in the depths of the three forests?
Hmm?
Is that... the aura of a warrior? There are Japanese warriors in the depths of the three forests?
Lin Chen's mouth curved, revealing a trace of arc, and he immediately became very interested in the Japanese warriors in the forest.
Although he has found the treasure house now, he can't force his way in.
First of all, Ye Kai only told him that the Kusanagi sword is in the secret basement of the treasure house, but Ye Kai doesn't know how to enter the basement. Therefore, Lin Chen must find a way to find the entrance to the secret basement before he can continue to act.
Secondly, once he breaks in, his tracks will be exposed. Maybe before he finds the Kusanagi sword, the Japanese will send a large number of people to besiege him here.
And he came alone, without any support. If he provokes the murderous intentions of the Japanese, it will be really difficult to get away.
However, after noticing the presence of Japanese warriors in the forest, Lin Chen showed a confident smile...
Lin Chen's figure gradually disappeared from the spot. In a moment, he had come to the depths of the ancient woods on the right side of the treasure house.
Not long after, he clearly felt a strong breath not far in front of him!
At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded!
"Stop! This is a forbidden area, no tourists are allowed to enter! If you are a lost tourist, return immediately and the security personnel will take you out!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and replied calmly: "I am not a lost tourist, I came here specifically to find you."
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked: "Who are you? If you take another half step, I will kill you without mercy!"
Lin Chen in the dark laughed dumbly: "Me? Who am I? I am here... to kill you!"
"How dare you! You don't know whether to live or die, you..."
Before he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew in the ancient woods. Where the strong wind passed, Lin Chen disappeared without a trace. The next moment, a dull crash came from the darkness, and then it gradually returned to calm.
The night was still so dark, but someone was lying on the ground in the ancient woods, becoming an immobile corpse.
Lin Chen frowned, and then looked at the corpse on the ground in the weak moonlight, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself:
"Hey, if I had known that you were so weak, I should have saved a little more strength. It turns out that you are just a warrior equivalent to the third level of internal strength. No wonder I killed you in two or three hits...
In this case, I can only find another person to inquire about the news!"
Half an hour later
Lin Chen looked at the Japanese warrior lying on the ground in distress, frowning and muttering to himself:
"There are a total of six Japanese warriors in these forests...but they are all very weak and can be killed in seconds if you are not careful. How can I get information now?"
