Chapter 157: The Tomb of a Hundred Onmyoji Buried Alive
Chen Zhi silently walked around the more than a hundred coffins. He touched every coffin lid with his hands. After walking back, he said to Fat Wei, can you pry open these coffins?
"Hey, let me go, you can't tell, Big Chengzi! You are more anxious than me when you see the big fortune!" Fat Wei said with a smile, "The big food in our mouths refers to the big fortune, don't worry.
With so many coffins, it must be a tomb (a tomb with many burial objects).
After finishing speaking, Fat Wei rolled up his sleeves and walked to the coffin closest to him. The color of that coffin was much darker than the other coffins. On the side wall, the words "Hatoyama Hiroshiro" were engraved.
Wei first touched the edge of the coffin with his hand, then knocked on the side of the coffin and listened.
He turned around and said to Chen Zhi in disappointment: "I'm stuck in the face right now. Don't have too much hope. The sound inside these coffins is very crisp, which means there is a lot of free space inside. There may not be anything there."
nice one."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and pry it open quickly," Chen Zhi said anxiously.
Because most of the previous tools were thrown on top, there were only two simple shovels and pickaxes, which were placed in Guidao's backpack, but they were not suitable for prying the coffin.
Fat Wei waved his hand and said no, took out the saber from his leggings, touched the edge of the coffin, and inserted the knife into the gap in the coffin. The workmanship of these coffins was really too rough. For some unknown reason, even the nails were not hammered in.
, Pang Wei used a knife to pry, and a thin crack immediately appeared. Pang Wei grabbed the coffin lid with his hand and lifted it up. With a click, the coffin lid was lifted entirely, and the broken wood fell to the floor.
When the lid of the coffin was lifted, the scene inside the coffin was as Chen Zhi expected, empty.
"Hey? What's going on? Why is it an empty coffin, and where is the body inside?" Fat Wei held up the coffin lid, was stunned, and asked in surprise.
Fat Wei walked inside again, picked a few more coffins and pried them open. They were still empty, with nothing inside.
"This is really fucking weird. I really can't understand the thinking of this little Japanese. If there are no corpses, why are these empty coffins here? Besides, these coffins have names engraved on them. Who are these names?
, why do their coffins have to be placed here collectively? Don't you think it's taboo?" Fat Wei shouted in confusion.
Fat Wei yelled for a while, then looked down at his brass compass. After falling into the hole, the brass compass returned to normal.
Fat Wei held the compass and said to everyone: "The location of this cave is called Longyan in Feng Shui. That is to say, it is not to one side nor to the other side, and it happens to be the location where the most energy gathers in the entire dragon head. If you want to build a tomb,
This is definitely the main tomb chamber, and the killing stone that sealed Bai Qian's corpse will definitely be placed here. But why, what are here now are these empty coffins with names engraved on them, taking the spotlight and usurping the host, they have become the owners of the tomb.
Chen Zhi walked silently to the middle of these coffins, and touched the names on these coffins with his cold face.
"They did not overwhelm the guests," Chen Zhi said: "They were originally the owners of the tomb, but we have always been wishful thinking and believed that this was the tomb in front of Tamamo."
Chen Zhi raised his head and looked at Fat Wei and continued: "It seems that we have really misunderstood what happened on this island country more than a thousand years ago.
Legend has it that the great onmyoji of Japan, Abe Seimei, had boundless magical power and sealed away the fox demon Tamamo Mae, who was his beloved concubine at the time, which is the Shiro Qian we are looking for. However, because Tamamo Mae's ability was too powerful, he could not completely kill her, so
Abe Seimei sealed her into the killing stone. However, if Tamamo Mae is really the ancient righteous god Bai Qian as we speculated, then how can Abe Seimei seal her with his ability?
We have speculated before that Abe Qingming probably has the bloodline of an ancient god and is a powerful demigod. But even so, it is not enough to seal Bai Qian, so this victory is definitely not Abe's.
Qingming is the result of one person.
In Japan more than a thousand years ago, the same major event as that in the late Shang Dynasty in China must have occurred, that is, the war between humans and gods. The leader of this war was undoubtedly the soul figure in the onmyoji world, Ampei Qingming.
As for why Abe Seimei, a demigod, stood on the side of humans, we don’t know, but the war must have been tragic."
When Fat Wei heard this, he suddenly interrupted Chen Zhi and asked: "War between humans and gods? You mean, during the Heian Period of Japan, during the period of Emperor Toba, there was a large-scale war in Japan. But it was not recorded in the history books?"
"Yes!" Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Historical records are always the private diaries of those in power. Don't believe too much in historical records. We would rather believe more in legends."
Chen Zhi touched the coffin lid with his hand and said with the beautifully carved names: "A thousand years ago, these names should have been famous onmyojis in Japan at that time. Some of them are remembered by people, while others are lost in history.
In the torrent.
When we encountered "wandering spirits" above, we saw images of Kyoto in ancient Japan, and we witnessed with our own eyes the true images of those so-called "evil eaters". Through those horrific acts, we can imagine what Japan was like during that period.
, must be a loss of life.
Bai Qian is undoubtedly a cannibal, and her power is so powerful that it is irresistible to humans. Perhaps even Emperor Toba did not dare to disobey her. But later, Abe Qingming was born in the palace, maybe because
His special relationship with Bai Qian, his ability as a demigod is very powerful. And most importantly, he finally chose to side with humans.
At that time, Ampei Qingming, in order to fight against Bai Qian, gathered the top Yin and Yang masters in Japan. These Yin and Yang masters abandoned their factional opinions and personal grudges. For the life and death of the entire nation, they gathered together to fight against Bai Qian. The beginning
This led to this battle between humans and gods with great disparity in strength.
According to the control stone we found, we can deduce that Bai Qian at that time must have had many low-level gods for her to control. Therefore, there is a legend about the coexistence of humans and ghosts in Japan's Heian period, and the legend of a hundred ghosts walking at night.
The final result of this war was that humans won. Maybe it was because Ampere Qingming's ability was really powerful, or maybe it was because of his constant blood relationship with Bai Qianjie. The facts have not been verified, but in the end, we knew that he finally sealed
Bai Qian's facts.
After Bai Qian was sealed, maybe it was because the seal at that time was not stable, or maybe it was to protect the barrier from being violated.
These more than a hundred Onmyoji chose to stay here and continue to guard Bai Qian's seal. Since then, they have never left this undersea tomb. The exquisite white stone carvings we saw outside all praise these
Onmyoji, the feat of sacrificing one's life for righteousness.
This explains why the buildings outside the barrier are very grand and spectacular, while the buildings inside the barrier are very crude. Because everything inside the barrier was built in a short period of time. This undersea tomb was not for Bai Qian from beginning to end.
It was built for these one hundred and one self-sacrificing Onmyojis.
At this time, Fat Wei listened with his eyes straight as if listening to a storytelling, and asked: "You said that these more than a hundred Onmyoji were buried alive, and the bodies are not here, so where have they gone now?"
, Fat Wei's eyes rolled around and he looked around warily.
