"Well, don't tell me, this kind of bottled tea with bagged refreshments actually has a different flavor!" Qingye swallowed the refreshments in his mouth, took another sip of bottled tea, and ordered thoughtfully. He nodded and said. "How about it? Let me tell you, in fact, the taste is not bad, whether it is bottled or brewed tea, isn't it all tea? The taste is obviously the same. I really don't understand how so many people can drink it. The taste is different." Uesugi Maki said with a puzzled look. "Actually, the taste is different, but it's not as bad as I thought. It has a big industrial smell." Qingye thought for a while and said with a smile. "The smell of big industry? What is that? Forget it, let's not talk about this. Brother Aoba, it's almost time. Should we set off?" Uesugi Maki looked at the sun that had completely set, and the sun that was gradually getting darker. The sky is getting darker and darker. "Should we set off now? Isn't it too early? I thought we had to wait until midnight to set off!" Aoye looked at the sky that had just turned dark, but he didn't expect Uesugi Maki to be so anxious. "It's not early. Brother Qingye, do you still think this is in the city? This is the countryside without even street lights. There is no difference between just dark and midnight. It's all the same dark anyway. There are not many people who go out for activities after dark." Uesugi Maki said with a wave of her hands. Of course, Aoba would definitely not be able to see Uesugi Maki's gesture of waving her hands in the next room. "Well, you are obviously more familiar with this place than me, so you have the final say." Qingye shrugged and said. "Okay, let's go!" When Uesugi Maki was speaking, her figure had already jumped out of the room and stood in front of Aoba's door. In this way, through the open door, the dazzling starlight in the sky shone in Aoba's room, making the room not dark. But as Uesugi Maki now blocked all the starlight outside the door, the whole room instantly darkened. So Qingye had no choice but to raise his hand and pull the ancient electric light rope hanging in the center of the room, turning on the lights in the room. "Are we leaving now? At least we need to get some flashlights, right? Do we need to change our clothes? It will be very cold in the mountains at night, right?" Aoba frowned when he saw that Uesugi Maki was still in her original attire. . "Humph, of course I have prepared these for a long time. Brother Aoye, wait for me." Uesugi Maki rushed back to her room as she spoke, and then Aoye heard the sound of changing clothes coming from the next room. sound. But Aoba didn¡¯t hear the sound of Uesugi Maki closing the door. "Sister Maki, I said you should close the door when changing clothes!" Aoba said in a rather helpless tone. "Brother Aoba, are you interested in your sister changing clothes?" Maki Uesugi said in a seductive tone, but the smile that couldn't be hidden in her voice was clearly noticeable. She was just joking with Aoba. "Yes, yes, I'm very interested!" So Aoba said perfunctorily, but with that weak look, anyone could tell that Aoba was perfunctory. "Brother Qingye, it's true. My sister is changing clothes next door. She didn't even close the door, but you didn't even take a peek. If I hadn't known that you already have two girlfriends, brother Qingye, I would I have to wonder if Brother Aoye likes girls." Uesugi Maki said dissatisfiedly, and while speaking, she had already changed her clothes, walked out of the room, and reappeared in front of Aoye's door. So under the illumination of the lights in Qingye's room, Qingye saw a man who was fully armed, wearing a pair of jeans, and an exaggerated hiking bag on his body. It was hung with ropes, hammers and other small tools, and Uesugi Maki also had several flashlights hanging on it. "Are you ready? Let's go then!" Aoba, who was still lying on the tatami floor, looked at Uesugi Maki, who was fully armed, and said as he got up from the ground. "Hey? Brother Aoye, are you wearing this? Didn't you change clothes just now?" Maki Uesugi said in surprise when she saw that Aoye was still wearing the clothes he wore during the day. "I didn't know in advance that I was going to explore in the middle of the night. How could I prepare clothes like yours?" Aoba said with a shrug. "Even if you don't prepare clothes like mine, you should at least change into thicker clothes, right? It's very cold in the mountains at night." Uesugi Maki frowned and said seriously. It could be seen that she was really here Concerned about Aoba. "Okay, I understand. Thank you Maki-san for your concern." Aoye saw that Uesugi Maki was really worried about him, so even though he was not afraid of the cold, he turned around and went to find a coat in his suitcase. ?Said on the body. "Then let's set off! Brother Aoye, do you have a flashlight? I have some extra here, take them." Uesugi Maki saw that Aoye was obedient and put on an extra piece of clothing. Only then was he satisfied and handed Qingye a flashlight, and at the same time stretched out his hand to pull Qingye over, ready to take him out. "Thank you Maki-sensei." Just like that, Aoba smiled and took the flashlight handed over by Uesugi Maki. At the same time, he turned off the lights in the room, followed Uesugi Maki out of the room, and walked out of the small courtyard where the two of them were. At this moment. As the sky turned completely dark, the entire building complex where the Uesugi family was located was completely plunged into darkness. Only the moonlight and shining stars in the sky illuminated the building, making everything invisible. Completely plunged into darkness. But in the corners of each courtyard, where there are overgrown weeds or shrubs, darkness is still everywhere. Especially in the rooms that Aoba and Uesugi Maki passed by, it was even more dark, as if some demons and monsters would rush out at the next moment. On the surface, Uesugi Maki looks like nothing, but Aoba can still feel Uesugi Maki's nervousness from the fact that Uesugi Maki keeps holding her hand, and the slightly moist sweat in her palms. In this way, the two of them shuttled through the courtyards under the leadership of Uesugi Maki. These courtyards were dark and silent, or at this moment, the entire mountain where the Uesugi family was located, except for Uesugi Yuichiro and Uesugi. Everything outside where Ginci and his son lived was pitch black. Although there are many buildings left over from the heyday of the Uesugi family, there is a time when the journey is over. Under the leadership of Uesugi Maki, Aoba walked through increasingly dilapidated courtyards and finally walked out of the Uesugi family. A group of buildings came to the edge of the forest. "Brother Aoba, look over there." Uesugi Maki, who had just walked out of the building complex, pointed to the distance and said to Aoba. So Aoba followed Uesugi Maki¡¯s finger and saw the little lights on another mountain on the other side of the mountain. "Is that the light in the village?" Qingye looked at it and confirmed that it was the direction of the village. "Yes. That is the only light source in this place at night, so as long as we see the lights of the village and our own location, we can determine the location of the temple. Brother Aoba, follow me." Uesugi Maki Finished. He pulled Qingye into the forest in front of him. The trees in the forest are not particularly lush, at least the distance between trees is still very large, so that people will not have no way to walk. The two of them could even continue to see the lights of the village in the distance through the gap between the trees. So with the lights as the coordinates to guide the way, Aoba followed Uesugi Maki. The two of them turned on the flashlights in their hands to illuminate the way forward, and kept shuttling through the forest. "Is the temple so far away?" Aoye asked after seeing that Uesugi Maki had walked far away and still had no intention of stopping. "Of course it's far away. It is said that the shikigami who live in the temple need a quiet environment to sleep. And the Uesugi family had a large population at the beginning, so they naturally built the temple far away from their residence. But I didn't expect that now the entire There are not many people left in the Uesugi family, and even if they are built next to the Uesugi family, they will not be disturbed at all," Uesugi Maki said without any respect for the Uesugi family in her mouth. In this way, the two of them walked through the mountains, until the lights of the village behind them gradually became increasingly unclear, and a stone-step path in the mountains appeared in front of them. "I found it, I finally found it. Now we just need to follow this road up the mountain, and we will reach the temple soon." Uesugi Maki looked at the stone path that appeared in front of her, and finally let out a sigh of relief. said. It seems that Uesugi Maki is also very unsure about whether she can find the temple with Aoba. Now that I finally found a foolproof route to the temple, I naturally felt relaxed. "It's getting late, let's go quickly! Otherwise, when we come back later, we will lose the lights in the village as coordinates, and it will be difficult to go back." Qingye looked behind him and looked far away. Light said. "It doesn't matter, we can't stay in the temple for long. One or two hours should be enough." Uesugi Maki looked at the time and said. "But I'm afraid that the lights in the village won't turn on for an hour or two. This is not Tokyo. Even at midnight, there are still lights on in many places." Aoba smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Ah, I forgot, people here usually turn off the lights very early, even if it's late, it's very??number. " Uesugi Maki seemed to have reacted at this moment. "Yes, considering the distance from the village to here, if there are only a few places with lights on in the whole village, it will not be easy to see the lights. "Qingye nodded and said. "What should we do? "Uesugi Maki was a little confused for a moment. She really couldn't imagine what it would be like to be trapped in this deep mountain forest for a night. "What else can we do? Speed ??up, let's go back early. "After Qingye finished speaking, he should first walk up the stone steps towards the mountain. "Yes, let's go quickly and come back early. "Uesugi Maki immediately followed Aoba quickly. "In fact, for Aoba, with the guidance of spiritual consciousness, it is impossible to get lost. The reason why he said this was just to scare Uesugi Maki and make her a little more aware of the crisis. Just come back early! The situation at the temple is unknown now. Even with Aoba's protection, he doesn't want Uesugi Maki to stay in that place for too long in the middle of the night. The two of them are walking on the stone path up the mountain. Heading towards the temple halfway up the mountain, the two of them could already see the temple on a platform formed by a rock protrusion halfway up the mountain. They didn't know that the temple already existed there. As time goes by, as Aoba and Uesugi Maki get closer and closer, they feel more and more that this temple exudes a strange atmosphere. Uesugi Maki still feels goosebumps all over her body as she approaches the temple. Ye Ze has clearly felt the ghostly energy coming from the temple. Yes, it is ghostly energy, because the shikigami is actually a kind of ghost, but it is not necessarily a human ghost. That¡¯s all. So when Aoba felt the strong ghost energy coming from the temple, he was sure that there was indeed a shikigami here. It seemed that the ancestor of the Uesugi family was an onmyoji. It is definitely true. The only thing left is to determine whether the shikigami here is really actively sleeping or has been sealed in some way. If it is actively sleeping, then it means that the legend spread by the Uesugi family is not false. , this shikigami is a kind-hearted guy, grateful for the kindness of the Uesugi family, and has been waiting for a master who can control it. If it is sealed, it means that the legend is wrong. The shikigami here is not a good guy, just a good guy. It¡¯s sealed. But all this doesn¡¯t matter to Qingye, because no matter whether this guy is sleeping or sealed, he will definitely not be able to uncover Qingye¡¯s Five Fingers Mountain. ¡°Brother Qingye, we are here. ? "Walking on the stone steps up the mountain, Uesugi Maki looked out of breath and looked at the temple that finally appeared in front of her. She no longer cared about whether she had goosebumps on her body, but sat down tiredly. On the stone steps in front of the temple, he kept wearing rough clothes and resting: "We're here, we're already here, but are we so tired? "Aoye looked at Uesugi Maki's huffing and puffing look, and was really speechless at the physical strength of modern urban youth. "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore. I didn't expect that climbing mountains would be so tiring. I remember never feeling this way when I was a child. Tired! "Maki Uesugi didn't mind revealing that her current physical strength is not as good as when she was a child. Seeing Maki Uesugi sitting on the stone steps like a fool, not wanting to move a step, Aoba didn't know what to say for a moment. (~^~)
