Dragon Clan: Start by obtaining the Sett panel

Chapter 293 Dragon Tomb
The slightly damp sea breeze blew across this bridge on the Shonan coast. There was an endless stream of people on the bridge, all of whom seemed to be tourists who came here to check in. Faintly, one could hear a few boys exclaiming with a little excitement.

"That's the training ground for Xiangbei, right?"

One of the boys pointed to Enoshima at the end of the beach. Countless lush trees surrounded the island, and from a distance it looked like a plump and round matcha cake.

Just as he said, Enoshima is the prototype location of the manga "Slam Dunk", and the distant island also plays a big role in the manga.

The island is full of mysterious caves and is surrounded by the sea. It is connected to Kamakura only at one place and is an important training ground for the Xiangbei basketball team.

Here is a record of the gradual growth and efforts of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede. Perhaps in the many caves on the island, you can still vaguely hear Sakuragi Hanamichi's famous saying "I am a genius".

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the first stop in Japan would be here." Xia Mi smiled, holding Gu Ye's hand and looking at the crowd like ants on the bridge in the distance.

"If you like, why don't you stay here tonight? I heard that you can watch the sunset from the lighthouse at dusk." Gu Ye said.

"Although I have no interest in these sights, if you want to go, I will accompany you no matter where you go."

"Sunset? Forget it, I've seen enough..." Xia Mi shook her head. When she was in that small town, she often stayed alone in front of the window to watch the sunset.

Sometimes Xia Mi would watch and wonder if the scene would be similar when Ragnarok comes?
She didn't like sunsets very much. At that time, she was always unsure how long she could survive in the world of ordinary people, so every sunset made her feel very panic. Maybe the next time the sun rose again, she and her brother would turn into foam like the little mermaid.

But now it’s different. Even if Ragnarok is destined to come, Xia Mi will not be afraid.

Because she knew that there was a boy who would stay with her until the world ended.

But she still didn't like sunsets. Instead, she preferred sunrises, which meant that she had one more day to spend with the boy she loved.

"It's still early, where are we going next?" Gu Ye asked.

"I don't know. It's a pity that it's early spring, otherwise we could go swimming at the beach." Xia Mi sighed.

The time the two came was indeed not a good one. If it were summer, the beach would be full of people now... instead, the crowds would be concentrated on the bridge connecting to Kamakura.

"I heard from the shrine maiden that there seems to be a dragon cave and a dragon palace here. Many legends of Enoshima are related to dragons. Maybe this was once the habitat of dragons." Gu Ye recalled what Suzuki Rina said and spoke to Xia Mi.

"Didn't we agree to travel? How come you can't help but start investigating?" Xia Mi smiled.

"It's not an investigation, just to understand the local customs and practices? After all, I have never seen the ruins of the descendants of the White King. Anyway, there is nothing else to do now, right?" Gu Ye said.

"But now that you mentioned it, I'm a little interested. I clearly remember that it had been ground to dust. So how on earth could it still leave offspring?" Xia Mi was also interested in Gu Ye's words.

"Then let's go take a look together? It just so happens that the largest shrine here, Ejima Shrine, is also near the Dragon Cave..." Gu Ye asked.

"Huh? Didn't you go to Jiangdao Shrine before?" Xia Mi raised her head in confusion. She thought that Gu Ye had gone to Jiangdao Shrine before.

"I also thought it was the Ejima Shrine, but when I got there, the priest inside told me that although it also enshrines Benzaiten, it is not the Ejima Shrine, but just a small family shrine." Gu Ye shook his head.

This is the disadvantage of not having a tour guide. After the two of them arrived on the island, they basically walked wherever they wanted without even considering maps or anything like that, in order to preserve some sense of mystery.

The result was that they mistook the small shrine on the mountain for Jiangdao Shrine. Gu Ye had originally planned to wait until after a walk on the beach to find a chance to tell Xia Mi, but since she wanted to go somewhere else, he could only tell her now.

"Haha, you get lost sometimes too..." Xia Mi laughed at Gu Ye loudly and unceremoniously.

"It was all an accident..." Gu Ye said embarrassedly.

"Well, anyway, the Dragon Palace and the Dragon Cave are must-visit places here, and don't we have to collect the amulets from all the shrines? Then the Jiangdao Shrine should be a must-visit." Xia Mi nodded, and the two began to walk towards the island.

After all, it was his first time here, so Gu Ye didn't really know where the Dragon Cave was, except that it was probably near Jiangdao Shrine. After thinking for a while, he decided to buy a travel brochure.

After arriving on the island, Gu Ye quickly found a convenience store. When he was about to go in, he heard a shout from behind him.

"Mr. Gu Ye! Here!"

Gu Ye turned around and saw Suzuki Rina, whom he had seen in the morning, waving at him not far away. After seeing him turn his head, she trotted over to his side.

"Hey, nice to see you again! Mr. Gu Ye..." Suzuki Rina's face was filled with a bright smile.

"Why are you here, Miss Suzuki?" Gu Ye asked Suzuki Rina, who was still wearing the shrine maiden's costume.

"It's a long story..." The smile on Suzuki Rina's face disappeared, her little face wrinkled, and she showed the flyer in her hand to Gu Ye.

"It's all my dad's fault. I told him long ago that how could a small shrine compete with the Ejima Shrine? It would be better to sell it to Tokyo early. But he didn't listen and asked me to hand out flyers to attract tourists..."

Gu Ye looked at Suzuki Rina with sympathy. Gu Ye knew the Enoshima Shrine she mentioned. This was the shrine that even Tokugawa Ieyasu had visited. It could be said to be the largest shrine in Enoshima.

"Obviously, people want to have fun during their holidays, but now they can only stay nearby."

"How about Miss Suzuki be my tour guide? I can pay you, and then even if Priest Suzuki asks about it, you can still give it to him... There aren't many tourists here anyway, right?" Gu Ye couldn't help but speak.

People who come here in March, in addition to admiring the cherry blossoms, also look for places to check in at that feature in the anime. Compared to the small island of Enoshima, it seems that the nearby Kamakura is more popular.

Even if you come, you will just sit in the aquarium and cafe on the island. Of course, it is not necessarily the case in summer, after all, there are still many surfing enthusiasts who want to conquer the beaches here. At that time, there will be a lot of people in Kamakura, and Enoshima can also benefit.

"Huh?" Hearing Gu Ye's words, Suzuki Rina looked up in surprise.

"You must be very tired, right? You finally get a rest and now you have to help share the pressure at home. Why don't you accompany me and have some fun today?" Gu Ye smiled at Suzuki Rina. Her lively and cute appearance made Gu Ye feel like he was taking care of a little sister.

It just so happened that he didn't know the route to the Dragon Cave, so he asked Suzuki Rina to take him there, saving him the trouble of planning the route himself. Gu Ye felt that the locals must know Enoshima better than an outsider like him.

The most important point is that now that Suzuki Rina is here, I can bring her to Xia Mi. As long as I can prove that I am not interested in Suzuki Rina, maybe the punishment tonight will be cancelled.

"Okay, then I'll change my clothes... Forget it, let's just set off!" Suzuki Rina was stunned for a moment, and her heart was filled with ecstasy. She had originally planned to change out of the shrine maiden costume, but was afraid that Gu Ye would go back on his word, so she urged Gu Ye to set off directly.

"Wait a moment, let me meet my girlfriend first...she's still waiting for me." Gu Ye called out to Suzuki Rina.

"Okay..." Suzuki Rina then realized that Gu Ye had a girlfriend, and her ecstatic heart became depressed again.

It's such a pity that Mr. Gu Ye, such a gentle man, is no longer single. That girl is so lucky...

Following behind Gu Ye, Suzuki Rina felt a little sour. She heard from her father that Mr. Gu Ye was originally going to Jiangdao Shrine to pray for amulets, but because he didn't know the way, he accidentally came to his own shrine.

She had never seen a boy who could do such a romantic thing for his girlfriend. He was much more attractive than those boys in her high school who only bullied their crushes.

So Suzuki Rina is very envious of Mr. Gu Ye's girlfriend, and she also doubts whether the girl is worth his efforts. It just so happens that I will take a look at what kind of girl Mr. Gu Ye's girlfriend is. If she is not worthy of Mr. Gu Ye, then I will find a way to pry Mr. Gu Ye away.

Suzuki Rina doesn't think there's anything wrong with this idea. In Japan, people start dating early, and if they like someone, they should fight for it, which is seen in various anime and Japanese dramas. She thinks this is very reasonable.

"We're here. Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend Xia Mi. This is Miss Suzuki from the shrine." Gu Ye's voice made Suzuki Rina subconsciously raise her head.

"So... so beautiful..." Looking at the girl in front of her, Suzuki Rina murmured subconsciously.

She thought she was one of the rare beauties in Enoshima, but she was still far inferior to the girl in front of her, and she felt a sense of frustration.

As expected... the only person who can be with an outstanding guy like Mr. Gu Ye is an outstanding girl. Thus, the last bit of Suzuki Rina's fantasy was shattered.

However, in fact, the beautiful girls have a lot in common... Suzuki Rina's gaze swept across Xia Mi's chest and happened to meet Xia Mi's equally scrutinizing gaze.

The two looked at each other, seemed to have reached some consensus, and in an instant they raised their hands and held them together.

"Ms. Suzuki is such a lovely girl..."

"Ms. Xia Mi is right. I am far inferior to you. No wonder Mr. Gu Ye always mentions your name no matter what he says..."

The two girls, who both had flat breasts, started to flatter each other at the same time. They looked like they regretted not meeting each other earlier, which made Gu Ye almost think that the two of them should become sworn brothers.

"You are going to the Dragon Cave, right? This is the north side of the island, and the Dragon Cave is in the south, so the directions are exactly opposite, right?" said Suzuki Rina.

"Is that so? No wonder..." Xia Mi suddenly realized that she had got the direction wrong from the beginning. No wonder Gu Ye had identified the wrong shrine.

"Come with me, I know a faster way to go to the south..." Suzuki Rina turned back with a smile.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you today, Miss Miko."

"Hey, didn't you have a grudge against her before? Why do you look like you regret not meeting her earlier now?" Gu Ye whispered in Xia Mi's ear.

Xia Mi looked at Suzuki Rina's back as she walked in front of him, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, "That's because I saw something that made me happy..."

There are beings smaller than oneself. How can one not be happy?

To be honest, what kind of people were around Xia Mi before? Not to mention Su Xiaoqiang, the mixed-race kid, who was born with a natural talent.

The rest, whether it's Chen Motong or Su Si, all have curvy figures. Even Chen Wenwen, the literary youth, has a rather large figure.

After being forced to be at the bottom for so many years, Xia Mi finally felt proud today. It turned out that this thing still needed to be compared with another flat-chested girl to regain her self-confidence.

Suzuki Rina in front was also very happy. She didn't expect that there were girls of the same age as her in the world. It seemed that she was not hopeless...

You know, Mr. Gu Ye's girlfriend is older than me, doesn't that mean that my development is completely normal? Maybe I will grow up in the future, after all, I am still in the developmental stage...

Who would have thought that just a simple meeting would help both girls regain their confidence? It's really subtle...

Half an hour later, outside Enoshima Shrine.

Suzuki Rina led the two through the Torii gate while carefully explaining the history of the shrine to them. Since you are here as a tour guide, you should fulfill your responsibilities as a tour guide...

"In the 13th year of Emperor Kinmei's reign, earthquakes occurred frequently from the night of April 4 to the morning of April 12. In order to quell the earthquakes, Emperor Kinmei issued an edict to build a shrine in the Ryukugoku in the southern part of Enoshima, and to hold sacrifices twice a year. This is the origin of the Enoshima Shrine..."

"After countless generations of emperors conferring titles, Enoshima Shrine has continued to expand and is now divided into three shrines. Iwaya Hongu and Gotabisho are collectively called Okutsu-nomiya, the upper shrine is renamed Nakatsu-nomiya, and the lower shrine is renamed Hetsu-nomiya. The original Benzaiten is also widely believed as the god of the sea, the god of water, the god of fortune and wealth, and the god of art..."

"It seems that this god who has transformed into a dragon is really popular..." Gu Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"This is the dragon cave...it's also the habitat of the legendary five-headed dragon." Suzuki Rina stopped when she arrived at a cave.

Gu Ye looked in the direction of Suzuki Rina and saw a small cave made of stones, similar to a tomb, in front of him. There was also a dragon carved out of stone on top.

"It's a little different from what I imagined..." A hint of subtlety appeared on Gu Ye's face. Is this definitely a dragon cave and not someone's cemetery?
"Do you want to go in and take a look? Mr. Gu Ye... Although I am a native of Enoshima, this is my first time entering the Dragon Cave." Suzuki Rina said in a low voice.

Her family also runs a shrine, so naturally she would not visit the rival family's territory. If she didn't want to contact Gu Ye, she would not have come to the Dragon Cave.

"Let's go and take a look..." Xia Mi looked at the dragon cave in front of her, and suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart.

A picture gradually emerged in my mind. It was a man whose face could not be seen clearly. His body was covered with white threads. Amidst waves of wailing, his body was gradually pulled and deformed. Finally, a white monster with five heads emerged from his chest.

"There's nothing special here, it feels like an ordinary cave... I thought the place where Benzaten stayed would be more exquisite..." Suzuki Rina was still walking in front, constantly complaining.

"If you ask me, this is just a gimmick. It's not as good as my shrine. At least there are cherry blossoms. I don't know why everyone likes to come here. Is it because the emperor visited it?"

Although she has always said that she wants to sell the shrine, Suzuki Rina herself does not realize that she is always subconsciously maintaining her own small shrine.

"Did you feel it? Gu Ye..." Xia Mi did not respond to Suzuki Rina, but spoke to Gu Ye beside her.

"It's a bit strange... There are many places here that don't look like they were formed naturally..." Gu Ye reached out and touched the strange-shaped cave wall.

The uneven traces do look like caves eroded by water, but they are not complete, but rather scattered here and there. Other places are full of signs of artificial carving.

"If I'm not mistaken, this place must have really been a cemetery..." Xia Mi took a deep breath and expressed her guess.

"But it's not a human's cemetery. It's a dragon's cemetery."

“Then what about these traces that look like water erosion? They are too fragmented, as if one part is a normal cave and the other part is artificially excavated…” Gu Ye was a little confused.

The structure of the Dragon Cave is so weird, as if artificial caves and karst caves eroded by natural water were irrationally mixed together.

"I say...what if these traces of erosion are not caused by water flow?" Xia Mi said.

A flash of light flashed through Gu Ye's mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility!
"Could it be... dragon blood?"

The next moment, a picture emerged in Gu Ye's mind. On the ancient Enoshima Island, the hybrids fought with a guy who was not sure whether it was a dragon or Deadpool, and buried them on the island.

Even after these guys died, the dragon blood remained highly active and eventually eroded part of the cave, forming its current appearance.

In other words... this place is very likely an ancient battlefield! And the so-called Benzaiten might be a dragon...
