"Of course it's a magnet."

Qin Ming smiled and took out a magnet, shaking it on the edge of the Liuren-style disc, and saw the pointer rotate with the magnet.

As early as the ship that came to Kafei, Kondo and others had seen the magic of magnets. Now they were not surprised, they just asked:

"Is there a lot of magnets hidden in the Aokihara Sea?"

"Specifically, it should be magnetite. The magnets did not come out of thin air, but were extracted from magnetite mining. There are many mountains and many minerals. There are magnetites underground, so it will prevent the compass from functioning normally."

Seeing that everyone was still half-believing and half-doubted, Qin Ming paused and continued:

"The emergence of Aokihara Sea was attributed to the eruption of Mount Fuji in 864, and the result was lava in a radius of dozens of miles spreading in the forest."

"After the lava hardens, trees regenerate, resulting in strange caves in the forest, many of which are unexplored, often given myths and legends by people because of unknown mystery."

"One of the causes of magnetite is that they are born in metamorphic deposits and endogenous mines. They are related to the effects of volcanoes, and the slurry directly forms magnetite."

Now everyone felt much more relaxed. They didn't know what magnetite or magnetic field, but they knew that the ore deposits would form after the magma erupted.

Of course, if they saw that the Liuren compass didn't last long under the iron-sucking stone, they began to turn wildly again, and they probably would have to change their minds.

"So it's a magnetite!" Kuroda Nagato said: "It seems that the so-called suicide forest filled with unjust souls is nothing special, but it's just that the geographical location is quite special."

Although he didn't believe it very much, after all, according to Shizaki Akasaki's statement, he had confirmed some things about monsters.

Even though Aokihara River Sea had a unique geographical location at the beginning, after hundreds of years of legends and countless suicides, after throwing away the corpse, monsters must be everywhere.

However, he couldn't just say that there were monsters inside. Please be careful, otherwise, before you even entered, you'd be afraid that many warriors would escape in the battle.

Even if you can get in with your teeth, encountering some things will cause panic and affect treasure hunting.

"But..." Kuroda Nagato asked, "According to Lord Abe, once you enter the tree sea forest, it is difficult to find the direction. How should we identify the direction?"

Amakusa Shizaki definitely has a solution, but compared to the unknown strength of the cleavage pill, Kuroda Nagato is more like using Qin Ming's power. At least Qin Ming and others seem to have fewer people and are easier to deal with.

“Ribbon.”

Qin Ming took out a long ribbon from Kondo's carry-on package: "It is difficult to accurately judge the direction, but we have a way to leave a safe way out. Before entering the forest, tie one end of the ribbon to the tree, and even if we can't find the way forward, we can return along the original path."

"It would be better if Lord Kuroda was willing to leave a samurai standing there for every distance away."

"Um...."

Kuroda Nagato pondered for a while, leaving a samurai as human coordinates every distance, which was a foolproof way, but the problem was that it would weaken his strength.

Qin Ming and his group were all swordsmen. If there was not enough staff around him, he would not feel safe. Both sides were not as friendly as they looked on the surface.

"It's a good idea..."

Kuroda Nagato finally accepted it, and then he said to Amakusashi Tsudashi: "Shiro, just stay outside, you need to take action outside. If the Tengu Party suddenly comes, you can still have the power to fight."

“Okay.”

Amakusa Shisato smiled and said, "Then stay outside the tree sea."

"Outside the sea of ​​trees...?"

Kuroda Nagato was a little surprised. According to normal circumstances, shouldn't Amakura Tosaki enter the Aokihara Sea with them?

Is he planning to give up the Koshu treasure?

"I don't think that the Koshu treasure is hidden inside."

Amakusa Shisato is honest.

"Isn't it inside..."

Kuroda Nagato thought about it and it must be confirmed whether it is inside or not.

What if you want to be there?

And there are ribbon marks, and even if you really can't find them, there is a way to get out of here.

The only question now is who should be wary of.

Beware of Amacara Shizaki, so you have to leave enough manpower on the periphery of the forest. Beware of Qin Ming, so you have to let more people follow you into the forest.

Fortunately, he has the most people, which is not a big problem.

"Changyi, you took your personal guards and me into the forest. The others stayed outside with Shiro. With Lord Abe there, even if there were any monsters in the sea of ​​trees, it would not be too dangerous."

Kuroda Nagato chose to be more careful about cutting the elixir with one hand.

In terms of force, the cutting elixir is even larger, and in terms of purpose, the purpose of the cutting elixir is also very clear.

On the contrary, Qin Ming, although his group was very strong, was short of manpower after all, and only three or five good players could hold up one, especially in the Aokihara Sea, where grass and trees were growing. Even if the Kuroda family's samurai were slightly weak, they could still deal with the complex terrain.

Moreover, the shogunate who wanted the treasure of Koshu was the shogunate. Qin Ming and others were just messengers sent by the shogunate. In terms of personal wishes, they were far less eager to have Amakusa Toshisaki's desire for the treasure of Koshu.

One is the direct beneficiary and the other is the indirect beneficiary. At least in Kuroda Nagato's view, Qin Ming and others may not be fighting for the sake of the shogunate, so Amakusa Toshitaki is different.

After allocating the staff, Qin Ming and Kuroda Nagato entered the Aokihara Sea.

Amacao Shizaki, who should have stayed on the periphery, took a few steps in the forest and picked up a weathered and broken skull from the ground with crystal clear eyes:

"Rest in peace...soul, may heaven be without suffering, Amen..."

As he said that, he closed his right fingers with three fingers and gestured a cross on his chest.

After finishing, I returned to the periphery and said as I walked: "The soul here has experienced too much suffering."

Qin Ming took a closer look. The broken and exposed soul, which had originally attached a hideous face, disappeared after Siro's operation.

"Cuting the elixir..."

“Religion is indeed something.”

However, looking at Silang's appearance, Qin Ming probably didn't know whether it would work. He should have only a very rough understanding of this supernatural power, just like the witch I met before.

Kondo on the side was not surprised, but he was a little sad:

"The pace of life is tense and fast, the pressure of society, the boring and monotonous daily life, family burdens, and disease troubles, all of which often make some vulnerable people pessimistic and desperate, and thus embark on the road of suicide."

"It's no wonder in Edo, let alone places like Kafai."

Kondo couldn't help but fall into memories. When he first met Qin Ming, it was a suicide incident.

"It's all hanged ghosts."

Ryuma sighed that Kondo had no rice balls anymore.

A few words were carved on a tree in front of him, and he muttered:

"Now my life is full of things that make me hate, so I'm here and don't look for my body."

The dragon horse looked forward and the figure entering the forest stood alone by the tree. In fact, it had already lost its vitality. It was just the remains of the skeletons of the suicide victim, and the flesh and blood had already dissipated.

He likes to talk weird stories and is superstitious, but he is not particularly afraid of it.

However, Sanako's condition is not very good, and she rarely shows her little girl side. She has encountered a drowning daughter before, and she probably has some shadows in her heart.

Qin Ming expressed his understanding that not everyone is as strong as himself in his psychological quality, although he also felt that Aokihara Kishihai seemed particularly gloomy and terrifying.

Although Edo is also a hundred ghosts walking at night, at least there are not many corpses, and there are corpses entering the sea of ​​Aokihara trees.

If you are accidentally tripped, it is definitely not caused by the branches, but by the human bones.

Hemp ropes can be seen everywhere. Suicides use this kind of ordinary hemp rope, hanging them on a tree, and committing suicide.

A simple hemp rope, a living life.

"I saw death, another world, nothingness, and even I doubt whether everything exists."

"The dry human body remains are almost broken when touched, their faces are broken, and their hearts are already missing..."

Kuroda Nagato sighed inexplicably, as if he was particularly reluctant to the dead people.

Jia Fei is under your rule. There are so many suicides, so it’s okay if you don’t reflect on it. What a shame to sigh?!

Qin Ming was unable to complain that the harsh environment around him made him barely maintain normalcy. If he said a few more words, he would probably not be calm.

After the blood and flesh were weathered, the clothes left were only bones' calves and shoes, and the bones were as terrifying as branches that had stripped off the bark.

You can see clothes from the Warring States Period and even longer, and the spacious clothes wrapped around the bones, which are particularly vulnerable.

Qin Ming patted Sanako on the shoulder and gave a little comfort.

This action is actually not easy, after all, there is a considerable height difference.

Qin Ming thought about it and re-engraved the words on the trunk of the tree with the last words:

"Life is a precious thing obtained from parents. Please think calmly again. As long as you are alive, you will definitely encounter good things."

Although it may not be useful, it is better than nothing. If it is not that there is really no hope in life, who wants to die?

Continue to go deeper into the sea of ​​trees, and the remains of bodies and remains everywhere fell scattered on the ground.

The figure after death was desolate, as if it was in the cold winter, curled up and seemed particularly helpless.

At first glance, some corpses seemed to be standing there, but in fact they were already dead, with only the support of the skeleton, and the human figure could not be seen.

Coupled with the dark and mysterious sea of ​​trees, just taking a look from a distance makes people shudder...

"The dead rest in peace..."
To be continued...
