Chapter 105. Newspapers

After Kitakawaji put down his luggage bag, he took the poor out.

"Daolu City Library"

Beichuan Temple took out Google Map and looked at the library, and realized it.

The Daolu City Library is not far from here. You can take the second bus from here and take two stops.

After taking about five minutes to sit at the Municipal Library, it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Since today is weekend, there are only a lot of people in the municipal library at this time.

Most of the people who come here to read books are college students nearby and high school students who are on holiday on Saturdays and Sundays.

Kitakawaji took a small backpack and passed the library security check and followed the sign to the local historical area of ​​Daolu City.

Here are two areas, the left and right are the newspaper area, and the right are the book area.

There are much fewer people in local historical areas than in other places. Except for some history college students who need to do research, only some elderly people are slowly flirting with newspapers.

"It's here."

Kitakawaji took out the notepad he had prepared in advance, and went to the book area to find the two books "Brief Records of Major Events in Island Road City" and "Folk Customs of Island Road City".

I hope to find the clues I want from these records.

Putting Nishi Kyujo Poori next to the table, Kitagawaji reached out and opened the first book.

A certain project was built in a certain day and a certain day of the year.

What kind of big events were held here in a certain month and a certain day of the island road?

The earliest record of "A Brief History of the Island Road City" is only in the Showa period, and it is too brief, and it usually records things in the Island Road City, and there is no too much introductory record of the surrounding villages.

Kitakawaji just gave up this book after a brief glance and opened the second book "Folk Customs of Island Road City".

This records the ancient customs and traditions of many villages around Daolu City, but there is no record of the divine village in Beichuan Temple.

This is very strange.

Kitakawaji recalled some statements on the Internet.

Shenzhu Village is a village with a population of four or five hundred, so it must be recorded no matter what.

Even if outsiders did not understand the customs and habits of the gods stationed in the village, they would not have any records in the local city chronicles.

This is too unnatural.

But if this is artificial, why should we artificially erase the records of the gods' residence in the village?

‘It seems that useful information cannot be obtained from official records.’

Kitakawaji turned his eyes and looked at the neatly stored newspaper area.

Newspapers are publications sold to the public by local and personal media. Whether it is official or not, as long as there is something interesting, they will basically be published.

Kitagawaji brought his notepad, carbon pen and Nishikotsu to the newspaper district.

The newspapers here carefully divide the areas based on age, region, politics, entertainment, etc.

Kitakawaji soon found folk entertainment in it.

Most of the newspapers here are very old.

After all, people nowadays already have mobile phones, and electronic media reading materials are much more convenient than paper reading materials.

Moreover, most young people nowadays like novel things and are not very interested in some traditional things, so naturally few people come.

Kitagawa Temple swept all the way and found that the newspapers here can even be traced back to the Meiji period.

He sighed in his heart that the library was well kept, and he did not hesitate and directly raised his hand to take out the earliest island folk customs newspaper.

Kitakawaji also paid attention to the issue number above and found that the newspaper was only in the 13th issue, and he raised his eyebrows.

"It seems that there were not many newspapers recording local folk customs at that time, and it happened to be a coincidence." Kitakawaji looked through the newspaper a few times before he completely unfolded it.

This island road folk news newspaper is a fully open black and white newspaper layout.

This newspaper was produced in the late Meiji period. Most of the papers are mainly matched with characters and few pictures.

Kitakawa Temple glanced at it and found that it really recorded the ancient traditions of many villages.

After all, the mountainous areas of the Island Road are divided into fine areas, and many villages are separated like chess pieces on chess boards, full of stars, and there were lack of communication methods in the past, mainly letters, so many isolated traditions naturally emerged in these mountainous areas.

"I see"

In this way, the isolated gods in the village might have some hidden rituals that are unknown to outsiders.

Hidden by God on the map, the world cannot know the long, bloody and cruel ritual

Kitakawa Temple felt aroused and her eyes swept.

But unfortunately, there is no explanation for the divine village in this newspaper No. 13.

Beichuan Temple stretches to the next folk news newspaper.

This folk news newspaper is not the case, it only deepens the previous issue of folk news.

There was no surprise on Kitagawaji's face. If it was so easy to find, it wouldn't be called a village hidden by the gods.

His subordinates moved and took out the next folk news newspaper.

no.

Not

Still not.

Everything seemed to be as literally as the meaning of God, and the God was really hidden by God.

The Japanese Roman spelling is kamikakushi, which means being caused by kamikakushi, and disappearing. In human society, being hidden by god means disappearing and disappearing.

So, is it really impossible to find any trace of existence in the world?

But Kitakawaji's face was calm and he didn't care about this small failure at all.

He repeated the movement of picking up the newspaper and reading it until he took off almost the forty-fifth newspaper, and there was finally a hint of gratifying change on it.

I saw that on the lower right corner of the page, the Japanese words "Shenzhen Village" were marked in small numbers.

It was a very tiny area. If you didn't look carefully, you would probably subconsciously skip it.

"It's finally here." Kitagawa Temple was excited.

He did not miss every newspaper, and he carefully looked through it before changing the next one.

This high-intensity reading made Nishikotsu give up early on.

"But the result is always gratifying." Kitagawaji spread the newspaper evenly, his eyes turned, and his eyes swept over.

I saw a line of fine words marked on the yellow and faded newspaper with neat printing.

‘This is a village hidden by gods, a village not known to outsiders, with mysterious and strange customs that make people tremble.’

‘The gods stay in the village.’

This line of text ends here.

It seems that this is just a text that lays the foundation for the next issue, and it can arouse the interest of readers of newspapers.

This kind of thing is broken here and there is a feeling of being neither up nor down, which makes Kitakawa Temple frown when she sees it.

He simply reached out and touched the next newspaper.
Chapter completed!
