Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 142 Priestess Maiden
After listening to Fat Wei's words, Chen Zhi looked up at the stone statues full of gods and Buddhas, and there was an inexplicable solemnity in the whole underground palace.It makes people feel that they are so small and lowly below, but they are so majestic and righteous, sacred and inviolable.

Judging from the costumes and movements of these stone figures, they are indeed statues of a group of Onmyoji.However, judging from historical data, *** Seimei did not die in this war with Yuzaoqian, he lived until he was very old before dying.

Then what Fat Wei speculated just now, the assumption that these onmyojis were buried for the **** Qingming, is not valid.Then these white stone statues of Onmyoji appear here in large numbers, they are by no means just decorations, what is their purpose?

At this time, the voice of Ghost Saber broke Chen Zhi's thoughts.

"Come and take a look, there seems to be a passage here." At some point, Ghost Knife ran to the area behind the **** Qingming Stone Statue, calling them in a low voice in the dark.

Chen Zhi hurriedly looked into the darkness, and it turned out that there was a black wall behind Qingming Qingming's stone statue, and he couldn't see it if he didn't pay attention.The dark wall was dark, and there seemed to be an inconspicuous small door, and it was so dark that it couldn't be seen clearly.

Looking at it from this angle, **** Qingming's stone statue looks more like guarding the dark room behind.

When Fat Wei saw the dark room behind him, he regained his energy immediately. He picked up his gun, patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, Orange! Let's go and see what's hidden behind it."

Fat Wei held a submachine gun in one hand and a flashlight in his right hand, leading the way to the dark place.

They walked over and found that the secret door was just a door opening without a gate, and it 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 Bai Qian's tomb countless times before, but he didn't expect to find it so soon. It really came too easy.

Fat Wei first made a gesture to signal everyone to follow him and keep quiet.On the other hand, he turned on the flashlight and pointed it forward. Several people lined up in the original formation and walked into the tomb lightly.

It was too dark inside the tomb, and the smell was very strange and suffocating.It was so dark that it seemed as if a flashlight shone in and the light was sucked away.Chen Zhi held the gun in his left hand, and swung the flashlight left and right with his right hand. The tomb looked small, probably less than [-] square meters.

Wherever the flashlight went, one could see that the floor was still paved with white marble tiles, but much smaller. The surrounding ground was covered with some ancient Japanese daily necessities. After thousands of years, there was very little dust on it.The surrounding 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 clearly the content of the paintings.It's more like a bedroom than a burial chamber

Fat Wei suddenly hissed softly at this time, motioning everyone to look at him, and shined a flashlight on the middle of the tomb, Chen Zhi looked along, and saw a bed in the center of the room, that bed is a typical The couches of the ancient Japanese nobles are engraved with auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts, and behind them is an ancient Japanese screen. The canvas on the screen has long since turned to ashes.

And on the bed, there was a translucent curtain, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness in the distance, I don't know what kind of sand silk it was made of.And it was vague inside, as if there was a person sitting upright.

Several people looked at the figure in the tent in front of them, but they didn't dare to move at first.After standing nervously for a long time, I found that the figures inside the tent did not move at all, and they did not intend to come out to talk to them at all.

At this time, Fat Wei walked over with a gun in his hand, turned sideways first, and knocked on the stone platform on the bed.Look inside, nothing happens.Fat Wei made a gesture at this time, asking Chen Zhi to cover him with a gun.I'm going to lift the gauze curtain myself.

Chen Zhi immediately raised his submachine gun, ready to meet anything rushing out of it, remembering that the ancient tomb that Fat Wei had told him before was full of red-haired and green-haired zombies.

Fat Wei still leaned sideways, gently lifted one end of the gauze with a gun, and what slowly appeared in front of their eyes was a mummy sitting upright. It was said to be a mummy, but in fact it was basically a skeleton.This mummy is obviously a woman, wearing gorgeous ancient Japanese clothing, with her hair hanging behind her.She is wearing a white kimono top and red kimono skirt, and her long hair is wrapped in white sandalwood paper.

In those shriveled hands, he held a stick full of copper bells. After so many years of erosion, those copper bells are still bright in color.

Chen Zhi looked at the costume of the female mummy in front of him, and felt very familiar, as if he had seen it on TV before.

Fat Wei looked at the corpse inside and said, "Is this the legendary ex-Princess Yuzao, the Bai Qian we are looking for? Unexpectedly, this time it went well for us!"

"This is definitely not Yuzaoqian." Qin Yueyang walked over at this time, looked at the female corpse up and down and said, "This should be a "clergy priestess", a clergyman appointed by the Japanese royal family. The one she held in her hand The bell ring is the magic weapon they use when they dance the Kagura dance - the Kagura Bell."

Qin Yueyang checked the back of the female corpse again, and said: "Japanese witches are some women who are endowed with supernatural powers, also known as 祩子, who can use dance to descend and communicate with gods, and offer sacrifices to Sheji Mountains and Rivers. Sacred duties such as cleansing, praying for rain, and praying for good weather are called women favored by God.

In ancient Japan, the status of women was very low, but the status of witches was quite high. Maidens could accept the support of gods and convey the will of gods to the king. In ancient times, they were often a symbol of beauty."Standing like a peony, sitting like a peony, walking like a lily" described in Japanese poems 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 witches and onmyojis were completely different. How could a witch appear in a sealed tomb full of stone statues of onmyojis?"

At this time, Fat Wei was not interested in what Qin Yueyang said. After he heard that it was definitely not Bai Qian's remains, he became "interested" in the things around the corpse.

He checked around and found that the priestess was surrounded by plain onyx, and there were no valuable funeral objects, and there were no gold or jade accessories on the priestess' body, and even her hair was tied up with white paper.

Finally, his eyes fell on the "God's Bell" in the hands of the witch.
