After listening to Fat Wei's words, Chen Zhi looked up at the stone statues that looked like gods and Buddhas all over the sky. There was an inexplicable solemnity in the entire underground palace. It made people feel that they were so small and humble below, but they were so high above.
But it is so majestic and just, sacred and inviolable.
Judging from the clothing and movements of these stone figures, they are indeed the statues of a group of Onmyoji. However, according to historical data, Seimei did not die in the war with Tamamo-mae. He lived until he was very old.
die.
Then what Fat Wei speculated just now, that these onmyojis were buried for Qingming Qingmei, is not valid. Then these white stone statues of onmyojis appear in large numbers here, and they are by no means just for decoration. What is the purpose of them?
?
At this time, the voice of Ghost Sword broke Chen Zhi's thoughts.
"Come and take a look, there seems to be a passage here." At some point, Guidao ran to the area behind the Qingming Stone Statue and called them in a low voice in the darkness.
Chen Zhi hurriedly looked into the darkness. It turned out that behind the stone statue of Qingming, there was a black dark wall. If you didn't pay attention, you couldn't see it at all. The dark wall was dark, and there seemed to be a
The inconspicuous little door was so dark inside that it was difficult to see clearly.
Looking at it from this angle, the stone statue of Qingming looks more like guarding the dark room behind it.
Fat Wei saw the darkroom at the back and immediately became energetic. He shouldered the gun, patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go Chengzi! Let's go see what's hidden behind that."
Fat Wei held a submachine gun in one hand and a flashlight in his right hand, leading the way towards the darkness.
When they walked over, they discovered that the secret door was just a doorway with no door on it. There seemed to be a tomb inside the door.
"Is it Bai Qian's tomb?" This was the first signal that flashed in Chen Zhi's mind. Chen Zhi had imagined what Bai Qian's tomb looked like countless times before, but he didn't expect to find it so quickly. It really happened.
too easy.
Fat Wei first made a gesture, instructing everyone to follow him and be silent. He then used his flashlight and shined it forward. Several people lined up in the original formation and walked into the tomb quietly.
It was too dark inside the tomb, and the smell was very strange and suffocating. The surroundings were so dark that it was as if the light was sucked away when a flashlight was shined into it. Chen Zhi held the gun in his left hand and shook the flashlight left and right with his right hand. The tomb chamber looked like
It's not very big, probably less than 100 square meters.
Wherever the flashlight shines, you can see that the ground is still covered with white marble floor tiles, but they are much smaller. The surrounding ground is full of some ancient Japanese daily necessities. After thousands of years, there is actually very little dust on it. And the surrounding areas
The walls are all painted, which looks a bit like Japanese Ukiyo-e, but the style is much older, and most of them have faded and peeled off, making it impossible to see the content of the paintings. It is not so much a tomb chamber as
Say it's more like a bedroom
At this time, Fat Wei suddenly hissed, motioning for everyone to look at him, and shined a flashlight into the middle of the tomb. Chen Zhi looked around and saw a bed placed in the center of the room. The bed was a typical
The couch of an ancient Japanese aristocrat was carved with auspicious clouds and auspicious animals, and behind it was an ancient Japanese screen. The canvas on the screen had long since turned to dust.
And on the bed, there was a translucent curtain. From a distance, it looked white, and I didn't know what kind of sand and silk it was made of. And inside, it seemed vaguely like a person was sitting upright.
Several people looked at the figures in the tent in front of them and did not dare to move at first. After standing nervously for a long time, they found that the figures in the tent did not move at all and showed no intention of coming out to talk to them.
At this time, Fat Wei walked over with a gun in his hand. He turned sideways and knocked on the stone platform on the bed. Looking inside, there was no reaction. Fat Wei then made a gesture and asked Chen Zhi to cover him with his gun.
I have to lift the veil myself.
Chen Zhi immediately raised his submachine gun, ready to greet anything that rushed out of it. He remembered that Fat Wei had told him before that the ancient tombs were full of zombies with red and green hair.
Fat Wei was still leaning sideways and gently lifted one end of the gauze curtain with his gun. What slowly appeared in front of them was a mummy sitting upright. It was said to be a mummy, but in fact it was basically a skeleton. This one
The mummy was obviously a woman, dressed in gorgeous ancient Japanese clothing, with her hair hanging behind her back. She was wearing a white kimono top and a red kimono skirt, and her long hair was wrapped in white sandalwood paper.
In those withered hands, he held a stick covered with copper bells. After so many years of erosion, those copper bells were still bright in color.
Chen Zhi looked at the costume of the female mummy in front of him and felt that it looked very familiar, as if he had seen it on TV before.
Fat Wei looked at the corpse inside and said, "Is this the legendary Princess Tamamo-mae, the Bai Qian we are looking for? I didn't expect it to go smoothly this time!"
"This is definitely not Tamamo-mae." Qin Yueyang walked over at this time, looked at the female body up and down and said, "This should be a "priest witch", a clergy member of the Japanese royal family. The one she was holding in her hand
The bell bell is the magic weapon they use when dancing the Kagura dance - the Kame bell."
Qin Yueyang checked the back of the female corpse again and said: "Japanese witches are women who are gifted with magical powers, also known as witches. They can dance to subdue the gods, communicate with the gods, sacrifice to the mountains and rivers of the country, and are usually responsible for exorcising evil spirits.
Women who perform holy duties such as cleaning, praying for rain, and wishing for good weather are called women favored by God.
In ancient Japan, the status of women was very low, but the status of shrine maidens was quite high. The shrine maiden could accept God's support and convey God's will to the king. In ancient times, it was often a symbol of beauty. As described in Japanese poetry, "standing like a peony,
"Sitting like a peony and walking like a lily" is the perfect portrayal of a witch.
When Qin Yueyang said this, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he said: "However, in ancient Japan, the functions of shrine maidens and onmyojis were completely different. How could a shrine maiden appear in a sealed tomb filled with stone statues of onmyojis?"
Fat Wei was not interested in what Qin Yueyang said at this time. After he heard that these were definitely not Bai Qian's remains, he became "interested" in the things around the body.
He checked around and found that the surroundings of the witch were completely bare, and there were no valuable burial objects. There were no gold or jade accessories on the witch's body, and even her hair was tied up with white paper.
Finally, his eyes fell on the "Kamiru Bell" in the miko's hand.
