Chapter 8 Issugi

There are rivers in Yeju Mountain that flow between mountains to bring water and moisture, and are also the source of clouds and mists between the mountains. In autumn, the river gradually slows down, but because the undercurrent surging in uneven places, the river is still turbulent.

There is an undeveloped cave in Yeju Mountain. It is in the hinterland of the mountain and connects with the river. The entrance is semi-arched.

In the middle of the night, Bai Ze took Yang Xiaoxing to the hinterland. The mountain road was rugged. With Bai Ze's ability, Yang Xiaoxing did not feel tired but was walking on flat ground. They walked very fast and took less than twenty minutes to reach their destination.

Yang Xiaoxing stood by the river and saw the entrance of the cave with his own eyes. There was a sound of water flowing in his ears. Yang Xiaoxing felt the pulsation of the mountain from the soles of his feet that were in contact with the earth. It seemed that there was a life nurturing deep in the cave, and Yang Xiaoxing was the mother of life.

Yang Xiaoxing felt that he had become a pregnant mother, and that feeling was strange and wonderful. The life that was conceived was the entrance to the monster world.

"Let's go."

After saying that, Bai Ze continued to walk in. A small boat suddenly appeared from the corner of the mountain. The boat floated directly under the crescent moon and broke the moonlight. The moonlight coated the boat with a layer of silver light.

In Yang Xiaoxing's opinion, everything is dreamy.

The two of them got on the boat and didn't need anyone to row the boat upstream.

Soon the boat was completely swallowed up by the cave, and the sky and earth were dark inside. Yang Xiaoxing adapted for a while before he could see the rocks hidden in the darkness and the bats hanging upside down above his head again.

Yang Xiaoxing seemed to have entered another world.

The boat continued to flow inward, and Yang Xiaoxing looked at the scenery along the way. Finally, the boat stopped at a rock that had previously protruded, and Yang Xiaoxing came to his senses.

There was darkness in front of him. Bai Ze picked up a rock from the side, and the rock emitted a light that allowed Yang Xiaoxing to see the wreckage of the entrance in front of him.

There were only a few stones used as marks where there were originally any abnormal movements of space. Yang Xiaoxing could only slightly feel the unwilling movements of space. He raised his hand and reached out and felt the space.

Bai Ze was not surprised that Yang Xiaoxing could see the specific location of the entrance at a glance. He said: "The entrance has disappeared. After your grandfather died, I could still feel it a little, but now, the small struggle at the entrance has no movement."

"You have been accepted by Yeju Mountain." Bai Ze looked at Yang Xiaoxing, "You have the ability to repair this entrance."

Yang Xiaoxing came to the entrance and touched it, as if comforting a wounded beast.

"This entrance is actually a monster, right?" Yang Xiaoxing turned around and said.

Bai Ze's expression was hard to see in the dark, but Yang Xiaoxing knew that he was right based on his physical changes.

Yang Xiaoxing moved his hands again: "I touched it. It was very weak, like a sapling that was almost dead."

After waiting for a few seconds, Bai Ze replied: "It is a sapling called Yishan."

"Yishan?"

"It is a plant we have tried countless times and finally found. Its roots are rooted in the monster world, and the crowns grow in the human world. Of course, humans cannot see its crowns." Bai Ze explained, "The alien fir connects the two places and has a long lifespan."

"It's almost dead," said Yang Xiaoxing.

Bai Ze did not answer positively: "This is the last alien cedar we brought. At the beginning, we had three plants, planted in different places in neon, and in the end it was the only one who survived. It lived well before, but three years ago its vitality began to dry up."

"Didn't you look for the reason?"

"Look for it." Bai Ze took two steps to Yang Xiaoxing, wanting to feel what he felt, "There is a clue. I have used the skills of the kung fu but found it was the wrong direction."

Bai Ze looked at Yang Xiaoxing: "Don't worry about these things now. Can you make it live?"

Yang Xiaoxing withdrew his hand and shook his head: "I don't know."

Bai Ze frowned: "How come you don't know?"

Yang Xiaoxing said naturally: "I'm here, what can I do if you can't solve the problem?"

“······”

What Yang Xiaoxing said makes sense, but his performance just now made Bai Ze unconsciously feel that Yang Xiaoxing could find a solution, and he brought him to the entrance in the middle of the night and told him about Yishan.

Bai Ze felt that something must have happened to his brain, or that Yang Xiaoxing had something wrong.

Yang Xiaoxing felt something was wrong around Bai Ze and said quickly: "Hey, don't be anxious."

"Speak quickly if you have something to do."

"Although I can't do anything, Yishan told me something."

"Um?"

Yang Xiaoxing closed his eyes: "It said that it needs human recognition. It is now overwhelmed by the rules of the human world and needs a reasonable identity. And it has to find a way to become people's belief as before."

"Faith?" Bai Ze understood this word slightly, but the current atheistic social environment is difficult to recreate the grand occasion of the 1960s and 1970s.

But it has to be done.

what to do?

Dealing with humans is not what Shiraze is good at, or what most monsters are not good at - Maruyama is an exception. In fact, Maruyama has said a lot, and if she really wants to let her penetrate into the human world, this little monster will be automatically exposed in less than two days.

Bai Ze looked at the transparent Yishan, looked back at Yang Xiaoxing, and asked subconsciously: "What should I do?"

"Ah?" Yang Xiaoxing was also confused. It was already extraordinary to find the problem. Now I want him to give a specific solution. Isn't this a difficult situation?

"What can I do?" Yang Xiaoxing threw the problem back.

"I'm asking you."

"What can I do..."

Back to the beginning of the question, the two of them stared at each other.

—————————————————

Tokyo, Roppongi, although the main part is in Roppongi, but you can only find a small buoyant in a remote corner as a studio, "Discovery" magazine is working overtime to discuss the central event of the next issue.

In front of President Fukagawa Bekai, three plans are placed - "The Legend of Tokyo Metropolis - The Rift Girl", "The Real Tomoe - The Cursed Pretty Woman", and "The Death Train - The Unmanned Train at 3 am".

Each title is very characteristic of a small magazine. At first glance, it looks quite attractive, but Fukagawa pinched his eyebrows and took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Can you think of something new in your head?? This month is the third time this year. Tooe appears five times this year. The death train is like my aunt. You have to come once a month. If you are not tired of you, I am tired of it. I will rewritten it all for me. If you don't write a qualified plan for me today, don't go home!"

"Ah, boss."

The two little members below were wailing.

"Write it quickly, I'll check the information with you." Fukagawa glared at him and didn't dare to speak.

Fukagawa snorted, turned on the computer and started to check the latest posts with supernatural tags on the website.

He discovered a video three days ago.

The trees in the entire mountain are shaking in the video. What is amazing is that their branches and canopies are all in one direction, even the leaves.

Moreover, Fukagawa found a pair of girls' hands appearing in the picture. He was suddenly attracted by interest and his whole face came to the monitor. But the video came to an abrupt end, only the copywriter of the photographer—

If there is a next life, I hope I can be a tree without joy or sorrow.

It looks like the expression of literary and artistic youths in Fukagawa is the best inspiration material.
