The next day was a sunny day.

The sky was cloudless, clear and beautiful, and the swollen stream was warmly shrouded in sunlight.

Tangerine Qingxian pushed open the door.

On the other side of the eaves, several dancing girls were talking in front of the door. Seeing him coming out, an older dancing girl raised her voice and called out: "Master Qing, come here to play!"

Tangerine smiled shyly.

The dancers whispered for a while, waved towards the corridor, and saluted like a geisha.

"Qing~"

A lazy voice came from behind.

Tangerine Qingxian looked back.

Yui Matsudaira, who was elegantly dressed, jumped to his side, with her big eyes drooping on her crimson face, which had just woken up.She slightly squinted her eyes stimulated by the sunlight, grabbed Ju Qingxian's wrist with a small white and fleshy hand, and asked, "Where are you taking Xiaowei to play today?"

"I'm not playing today..."

As soon as Ju Qingxian opened her mouth, she moved her face closer, almost touching his shoulder.

The girl's face was shining with a beautiful morning light, the lines of her double eyelids were indescribably beautiful, and she smiled like a blooming flower.

"You can play however you want!" Ju Qingxian corrected himself.

Song Pingwei snorted, raised his small chin slightly, and raised his hand to touch Tachibana Qingxian's head: "My brother is responsible for making my sister have fun, otherwise my sister will not spare you."

Inadvertently, she showed the lofty attitude of the young lady again.

Tachibana Qingxian actually didn't dislike this gesture very much.

After all, to some extent, he also has a superior side.

"Okay, let's go."

Ju Qingxue also walked out the door.

In a light blue cardigan, sweatpants and hiking boots, she looks like a college girl on a weekend outing.

The morning sun shines on the mountainside, and the outline of the city in the distance unfolds clearly in front of it.Perhaps because the heavy rain washed away the dust, the entire Mount Takao is filled with the beauty of an empty mountain after a new rain, which makes people feel comfortable.

As the Fire Festival approached, many tourists gathered in the square of Yaowang Temple.

There are uncles walking with round fans, mothers-in-law and aunts who look like tourists, young men and women in fashionable clothes, and many practitioners wearing monk clothes and leggings.The vacancies on both sides of the square are crowded by temporary shops set up by vendors. One can imagine how lively it will be at night.

In the direction of the parking lot, there are a steady stream of tourist distribution buses stopping.

Ju Qingxian walked out of the gate and looked down the mountain.

The stone steps of the climbing path are in the shape of an "S" as a whole.

If you look at the past along a straight line, every corner is separated by flower beds and trees.

"Ah Kiyoshi, this should be the location." Tachibana Qingxue raised her finger and pointed to the flowerbed in the middle of the stone steps, "Miss Kiryu said that Tachibana Jun saw the Tengu at the gate of the Fourth Temple, I think it should be somewhere on this stone step." position."

Ju Qingxian nodded: "I've read on the Internet that there are tourists who have seen Tengu, and almost all of them happened on this stone step."

"If the sky is bright with moonlight, you should be able to see the scenery ahead at a glance." Ju Qingxue laughed, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

The three of them descended the stone steps and stepped into the grove.

There are fallen leaves under the trees, and with every step and slip, the noisy voices of people fall far behind, and no movement can be heard.

Tangerine Qingxian glanced back and forth, left and right.

Dense trees, overgrown with weeds.

The front is a flower garden, and the middle and back are planted with trees.

Ground covered with dead leaves.

From the outside, it's hard to see what's inside, but if it's inside... He looked up, but he couldn't see the sky above, and the lush greenery almost blocked his entire vision.

But what if it climbed above a tree?

Matsudaira Yui turned his head and asked, "Is there anything strange about this place?"

"I didn't find anything abnormal." Ju Qingxue said helplessly, looking at her younger brother: "Does Ah Qing have any inspiration?"

"Correct me, I don't have any inspiration." Ju Qingxian said while stepping on fallen leaves.

"what?"

"All I can do is to combine known facts and build them up like building blocks. I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have superior imagination, or keen intuition." Ju Qingxian is quite Said old-fashionedly.

Matsudaira chuckled.

"Ah Qing's talking is really interesting..." she said happily.

But Ju Qingxue sighed with a headache: "I will really be exhausted by you..."

"I'll go up and have a look." Ju Qingxian looked up at the tallest beech tree.

"Be careful."

"Help me with the clothes."

Tachibana Qingxian took off his shoes and coat, and began to climb up the tree trunk.

It rained all day yesterday, and the trunk was a little slippery. It took him a lot of effort to climb to the top of the treetop.After the head drilled out of the leaves, I immediately felt the temperature of the sun, the air of the flying insects and bees' lazily fluttering wings, the brilliant wind bathed in the sun, and the birds soaring in the wind...

Ju Qing stared intently at the branches and branches.

He didn't even have time to drive away the bees that fell on the shirt that was shining white by mistake for flowers to rest on.

- There are small wear scars at the junction of the branches and the trunk.

Ju Qingxian measured these traces with his eyes, and slowly sketched out a picture in his mind - the Tengu pulled the rope, passed the pulley, and let himself fly off the ground.

Unsurprisingly, Yaowang Temple asked someone to pretend to be a Tengu to attract attention.

This is a fake tengu.

So what a dog...

"Ah Qing, did you find anything?" Ju Qingxue asked under the tree.

"I found some traces of wear and tear left by the rope on the branches..." Ju Qingxian lowered his head and looked under the tree, "If we come here to stay here tonight, maybe we can catch the fake tengu on the spot."

"Let my sister catch it and show it to you!" Ju Qingxue laughed, with the dignity and refreshingness of Chenfeng in her voice.

"By the way, go to the square and see if you can spot my movements..." Ju Qingxian said, looking up at the Yaowang Temple in the distance.

On the emerald green mountainside receiving the sunlight, the temple is like a screen erected in the middle of the field.

The sun shines on the roof ridge.

Red walls, black roofs, solemn and religious pagodas...

Ju Qingxue turned around, intending to go around the flower garden and get out of this miscellaneous forest.

"Why do you have to go such a long way, you're passing here." Song Pingwei held her and walked straight to the middle of the flower garden.

"How can you step on these flowers and plants."

"why not?"

"The sign in front says that if you step on it once, you will be fined 5000 yen."

"What kind of fine? Isn't this a clearly marked price?" Matsudaira tilted his head to look at her, "The price is very cheap."

"..."

Ju Qingxue was passively silent.

Not to mention the uncivilized behavior of trampling on flowers and plants, it is enough to say that the price of 5000 yen is very cheap, which is enough to show that the two of them are not from the same world.

People in the upper class really look at problems very differently from ordinary people.

Suppose a fire breaks out.

If you are an ordinary person, you will think: "My God, it's terrible! Hurry up to put out the fire! Hurry up and notify everyone to escape!".But in the eyes of upper-class people, they may sigh at the fire: "What a beautiful flame!"

Although looking at the same thing, thinking about something completely different.

Of course, Tachibana Qingxue also understands that this is purely a prejudiced stereotype.

In a sense, even seeing the same thing, different people will have different feelings, regardless of common people or upper class.

In short, people are different.

Ju Qingxue was thinking about something in her heart, and was dragged by Matsudaira Yui across the flower garden.Sweet peas, anemones, poppies and other flowers of various colors are competing for beauty in the flowerbed on the slope, and the flower branches are about as high as a person's knee.

then……

"Ah~"

The two fell into the pit.

"What's wrong?" Ju Qingxian looked down from the tree.

"There's a big hole here." Songping Wei shouted angrily, "Who is so wicked, digging a hole in this kind of place, I almost twisted my waist."

"Where's my sister?"

"...I sprained my foot, hiss..."

"I'm coming down now."

Ju Qingxian got down from the tree and jumped to the edge of the pit.

Looking down, the inside of the big pit is pitch black, and the thick branches extend just above the pit.

"Ah Qing, don't come down first..." Ju Qingxue said, took out the rope from the mountaineering bag and threw it to the ground, "This is a pot-shaped pothole that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Once you enter, you can't get out .”

"it is good."

Tachibana Qingxian took one end of the rope and tied it to the thick zelkova tree before returning to the pit.

Squatting on the edge of the pit and looking in, the rotten air and the smell of rotten soil hit his face directly.

"This pothole...was dug artificially." Ju Qingxue held a flashlight to illuminate the scene in the hole.

"What?" Matsudaira Yui widened her eyes angrily.

Ju Qingxue leaned forward, and stroked the soil slope with the other hand: "Such a flat curved surface must have been excavated manually. And..." Her eyes looked at the faint traces all over the entire pothole, "There are people here The traces that my fingers have climbed."

"Why do you want to dig a hole in this kind of place?" Matsudaira's cute face raised up, a little angry: "It's too dangerous, it's like a trap. If Ah Qing also fell into it, wouldn't the three of us be dead?" Are you going to be trapped here?"

"This pothole...is a trap." Ju Qingxue frowned.

Tachibana Qingxian also noticed something was wrong.

The opening of the hole is hidden with growing flowers, and there are many fallen leaves. In addition, it is in the flower garden. If you don't walk in and step on it, you won't be able to notice that there is a hole inside.

Tachibana Kiyoyuki and Matsudaira Yui stepped on the cover and slid directly down.

"This hole is really deep..."

Ju Qingxue held up the flashlight and looked towards the edge of the cave.

Tachibana Qingxian was also looking down.

The diameter of the hole is only about 2 centimeters, and it becomes wider from the middle. The diameter of the bottom reaches more than [-] meters, and the vertical height is nearly three meters.This kind of pot-shaped pothole, if you accidentally fall into it, there is almost no possibility of climbing out.
