Chapter 1557: Strange Shrine

For ordinary Japanese people, there is nothing special about the afternoon of September 22, Heisei 2010 (AD 9).As usual, people were walking fast in the streets of Tokyo.

Even the weather was not bad that day, and the warm sunshine was very comfortable.

The Yasukuni Shrine in Kudanzaka, Daita District, Tokyo still welcomes a large number of pilgrims to worship as usual. Everything shows that today is not a special day.

The area where the Yasukuni Shrine is located is almost the center of Tokyo, not far from the emperor's residence.

Compared with the significance of the shrine itself, the architectural layout inside the shrine does have many unique features.Plane Travel Guide 1557

Although the proportion of vegetation in Japan is quite high, the towering trees in the shrine are not very common plants. .Compared with the bustling Tokyo city, the interior of the shrine has a kind of serenity and peace.

However, the 23-meter-high torii at the main entrance is very majestic, and the inscriptions of Emperor Meiji's "Royal Brush" and the unique chrysanthemum emblem of the royal family that can be seen everywhere inside the shrine reveal the unique status of the Yasukuni Shrine.

This used to be the highest shrine stipulated by Japanese law. Even after this law was abolished after the war, it still could not change the special status of the Yasukuni Shrine.

Many tourists from Japan and around the world will also visit or visit the Yasukuni Shrine.Hu Bicheng and his girlfriend are two tourists from Singapore, who came here to visit and worship by the way.

Although Singapore was once under Japanese colonial rule during World War II, Singaporeans do not seem to have much dislike for the Yasukuni Shrine.And not only Singapore, countries in Southeast Asia that were once invaded by Japan did not have much aversion to this.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that these countries were still colonies during the Japanese occupation, or they did not think that there was any difference between Japan’s colonization of them and Western colonists, and it was nothing more than a change of master.

Both Hu Bicheng and his girlfriend didn't feel too much about it, they only treated it as a tourist attraction.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Japan in the urban area, the cleanliness of the shrine made them feel very comfortable.After just coming out of Yushukan, the two seemed to understand a lot of Japan's reasons for launching the war of aggression.

"Speaking of which, Japan and Singapore are similar. Both are island countries with a small land area. So I understand their own sense of crisis. In order to expand their living space, they actively go abroad to compete for development!"

"Well, it's really courageous!" Hu Bicheng nodded, agreeing with his girlfriend's opinion: "The resources of the island country itself are very limited or even short, and the danger of the living space is beyond the comprehension of the mainland people."

"However, although these Japanese have the courage to fight hard, they haven't found a path that really suits them! Many things can't be regained only by hard work, and wisdom is needed to guide them!"

"Xiao Man, what you said is quite right. The Japanese are always like this, good at tactics but short at strategy. Since the Meiji Restoration, no Japanese other than Ito Hirobumi can be called a qualified strategist. They finally The failure is also a major problem in strategic decision-making. Among them, the reckless expedition to mainland countries and getting into the mud is a major mistake."

"Yes, I think we are much smarter than the Japanese. Although our country is small, who dares to underestimate us?"

"Hahaha... It's just hugging thick legs. Speaking of which, we are no different from Japan."

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it. You must be successful, don't you always boast that you are proficient in Chinese culture? Why is this place called Youshuguan?" The meaning of "confusion" is extremely strong.

"Hehehe, Chinese culture is extensive and profound. I don't dare to claim to be proficient, but I just know a little bit." Before his girlfriend got mad, Hu Bicheng said again: "However, the origin of the name Youshouguan is not difficult. I should be from Xunzi."

"Oh? Xunzi? What does he have to do with Yushuguan? I only know that he is a famous thinker in the Warring States period! Does he have anything to do with the Japanese?" Proficient in Chinese studies.

"Hahaha, what nonsense are you talking about! How could Xunzi have anything to do with the Japanese, but the name of Youshuguan comes from a sentence Xunzi said, the so-called 'you must choose a hometown, and you must be a scholar'!"

"I see. But, what is the meaning of this? I don't quite understand! Tell me, it will be successful." Plane Travel Guide 1557

"As long as you don't think I'm half a bottle of vinegar, I will tell you boldly. In fact, what Xunzi said means... Huh? Why did the sky suddenly darken?"

The sky, which was still sunny just now, suddenly dimmed when Hu Bicheng just smiled and explained the origin of the name Youshuguan.Except for the lights in the room, the entire sky turned black.

Even from a distance, Hu Bicheng can almost see the same in the distance.It seems that the whole of Tokyo is caught in a special optical environment similar to a solar eclipse in an instant.

"What's the matter? It will succeed, I'm afraid!" Li Xiaoman even felt a gust of wind blowing by her side, lifted her short skirt, and made her feel a chill from her thighs to the soles of her feet.

Originally, he was in the sacrificial shrine, and it is said that more than 200 million undead are enshrined there. Thinking of this, Li Xiaoman couldn't help but feel trembling all over, and even cold sweat ran down his neck and back.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it seems to be a solar eclipse, so there is nothing to worry about." Although Hu Bicheng comforted Li Xiaoman, he still felt that the atmosphere around him was very strong.

Of course, it wasn't just the two of them, the security guards and tourists inside the shrine all seemed to panic, and all kinds of screams could be described as one after another, endlessly.

Inside the Yasukuni Shrine, which had been quiet just now, there was only panic left.

Although the situation in front of him is not so overwhelming, no matter who thinks that there are millions of souls enshrined in the shrine, he will not feel any relief.

Especially at this time, there was a sudden gust of cold wind blowing from nowhere, which made many people feel cold physically and mentally.

Even on the streets of Tokyo outside the shrine, there were a lot of panicked noises-disasters frequently occurred on the Japanese island, but few people's nerves could remain calm after encountering sudden accidents.

Just as Hu Bicheng and Li Xiaoman were groping their way out, there was a burst of sinister shrill cries and mournful wails from inside the shrine.Just this one moment made Li Xiaoman's legs go weak, and he couldn't take a step anymore.

Not to mention that his girlfriend was timid, even Hu Bicheng's eyes widened, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably.

"Bicheng...I can't walk anymore, what...what's the matter?" Li Xiaoman almost cried, this was the saddest vacation trip she had ever had, and she felt terrible.

How did Hu Bicheng know what happened? Even a solar eclipse shouldn't have such a supernatural situation, right?What's more, his innermost teeth are constantly fighting, and he can't say anything at all.

Li Xiaoman didn't wait for her boyfriend's comfort, but heard Hu Bicheng's exclamation: "My God, what is that in the sky?"
