Rebirth as a Cooking God

An Yilun also brought good news.

He found the exact clue of the ‘Izumo Shrine’ in a mountaineer’s travel blog.

Pictures are the most powerful evidence.

Seeing this picture, Xia Yu's doubts were all gone.

and……

It seems that this time the blind cat really meets the dead mouse. An Yilun also contacted the mountaineer for verification, and thus confirmed the location of the 'Izumo Shrine'. This secluded and unknown building is located in the mountains that Xia Yu is now approaching.

'Tokachidake' is just one peak of a large mountain, and it is famous for being an active volcano that often causes earthquakes.

The location of the shrine is probably near Mount Biei, another mountain on the mountain, but hikers cannot tell the more specific coordinates.

The mountaineer said that even if he went up the snow-capped mountains, it would be difficult to find the shrine.

However, Xia Yu still got some clues.

Is it between Mount Biei and the peaks to the north?

With this clue, Xia Yu got into the sleeping bag.

I need to recharge my batteries tonight, and my cooking practice is on hold.

Of course, encountering a bear in the evening sounded the alarm for Xia Yu. He deliberately set up traps near the camp before going to bed. Although he didn't know if it was useful, psychological comfort was necessary, otherwise he would have a hard night's sleep.

The next day.

The sky was slightly bright and the forest was shrouded in mist.

The forest birds chirped, and the sound spread far across the silent wilderness.

Xia Yu got up, put away his sleeping bag and various camping equipment, and put them back in the jeep. Tang Yuqiong and he woke up at almost the same time, around six o'clock to be precise. The two of them had nothing to say, and they were each fisting in the camping area. ,exercise.

An hour later, they had breakfast. Xia Yu did not set any hunting traps last night, only defensive traps. Therefore, the two of them could only eat canned food in the morning without game.

Rumble...

The jeep was walking on the rugged mountainous terrain, and gradually reached the foot of the snow-capped mountains. As the terrain went up, the jeep began to climb. Xia Yu drove the car with a little more force and stepped on the accelerator. The car's engine made a shrill sound.

Tang Yuqiong got off the bus at the refuge cabin.

goodbye!

Xia Yu waved to her in the car, and then, without any stop, drove the jeep across the exposed mountains covered with black volcanic ash.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Xia Yu arrived at another mountainous area that was completely different from the volcanic area.

The vegetation here is dense, and all you can see is dense mountain forest. Xia Yu cut down many branches with a knife, hid the jeep, and marked the nearby stones and trees along the way. The mobile map navigation was also zoomed to the maximum, as After marking the mark, I put on my sleeping bag, tent, and standard mountaineer equipment and officially went up the mountain!

On the first day, Xia Yu only walked 10 kilometers of mountain roads. In the evening, he stopped halfway up Mount Biei to set up a tent and rest early.

The next day, he successfully climbed Mount Biei, which is an altitude of 2,000 meters. Standing on the top of the mist-shrouded peak, looking at the mountain yielded no results, so Xia Yu had no choice but to go down the mountain and head north to prepare to conquer another peak with an altitude of 2,000 meters. On this day, he walked 15 kilometers of mountain roads with twists and turns. He exhausted all his energy on the ridge road without any shelter.

The third day...

Crash-

Hiding in the tent, Xia Yu was simply shivering.

Suddenly there was a heavy rain in the mountains.

At this time, listening to the harsh sound of gravel rolling down the mountain, Xia Yu secretly admired his wit!

People in the mountains are afraid of sudden weather and severe disasters, such as mudslides, so they must be cautious when camping. Xia Yu searched for a shallow cave. Although the cave was only a few meters deep, there was no space. But enough to pitch a tent.

So, hiding in the cave, the heavy rain was isolated, the rocks rolling down the mountain could not hit anyone, and there was no need to worry about being swallowed by mudslides. Xia Yu just sat and looked at the vast mountain scenery in the rain.

It took a full day for the rain to stop completely, and the heavy rain would definitely make the mountain road muddy and slippery. Xia Yu decided to rest for a day before leaving. Anyway, he could communicate with the God of Cooking space and practice his cooking skills, so he didn't have to sit still.

The sky cleared.

The sun was able to break through the clouds and shine on the mountains. Xia Yu stretched out, but suddenly there was a flash of light in his field of vision. This light was like reflected from a mirror, and he couldn't help but squint.

After a while, the flash disappeared completely, but Xia Yu remembered that direction, Is there anyone there? Or...

On the fourth day after entering the mountain, Xia Yu searched in this direction.

road!

After pushing aside the layers of branches and leaves, a clean stone path led up the not too steep hillside. Xia Yu's heart skipped a beat and he stopped at the bottom and took out the photos on his phone.

This is it!

After comparing it, he exclaimed in surprise.

The climber discovered the shrine in winter. Now it is late autumn and the plants on the mountain are lush. Xia Yu looked up and saw no shrine building.

Climb up the stairs.

Snapped. Stepping up to the last step, the view suddenly opened up. This was a hill platform among the peaks. It was inconspicuous, but there was actually a deep pool on the mountain, surrounded by strands of ice mist.

The surface of the pool was like a mirror, and the sunlight above his head was shining directly down, and the light was reflected. Xia Yu squinted his eyes, as if he had some realization in his heart.

It seemed that the light he saw after the rain yesterday most likely came from this.

Looking forward, there is a shrine main hall and several ancient wooden houses.

The plaque of ‘Izumosha’ is so conspicuous.

anyone there?

Xia Yu quickened his pace and shouted at the same time.

The voice spread, but there was no reply for a while.

no one?

He stopped outside the main hall and looked inside, feeling slightly startled. The wooden floor inside was spotless, but there were no furnishings, only a stone shrine covered with moss.

This shrine is a miniature version of the main shrine.

boom!

Taking off his heavy backpack, Xia Yu looked here and there. When he saw that the shrine was free of any dust and that it had been cleaned inside and out, there were no dead branches or leaves. He immediately frowned: It shouldn't be empty!

Well, there is one.

A voice answered abruptly.

Huh!

Xia Yu turned his head reflexively and saw a man with disheveled hair standing at the door of the palace.

Hello. He bowed slightly, Are you the owner of this place?

I'm not.

Me too.

Well?

The man came lazily. He bowed earnestly to the shrine first, and then looked at Xia Yu playfully, You've suffered a lot to come here, haven't you?

Before Xia Yu could answer, he sighed to himself: When I came here ten years ago, I seemed to be almost the same as you.

But now, I am willing to stay here and be a monk with a pure heart and ascetic desires. Haha, only for the soul. I will not treat myself badly when it comes to eating.

Xia Yu pursed her lips.

“How do I find my hunting target?”

this--

The man pointed at the shrine and said, Pay tribute to it!

Pay tribute?

Xia Yu was shocked, but not at a loss.

He has seen monsters and the like, and he has all kinds of expectations for Izumo Shrine.

Anything goes!

Dishes, kitchen utensils, ingredients...
