Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 159 The Tomb of a Hundred Onmyojis

Chen Zhi walked around the more than 100 coffins silently. He touched every coffin lid with his hands. After walking back, he said to Fat Wei, can you pry open these coffins?
"Hey, I can't see it, Big Chengzi! You are more anxious than me when you see Dacai!" Fat Wei said with a smile, "The big dish we talk about refers to Dacai, don't worry, With so many coffins, it must be an oil bucket (a tomb with a lot of sacrificial objects).

After finishing speaking, Fat Wei rolled up his cuffs, and walked to the coffin closest to him.The color of the coffin is much darker than other coffins. On the side wall, the words "Hatoyama Hiroichiro" are engraved. Fat Wei first touched the edge of the coffin with his hands, and then knocked on the coffin. From the side, I bent my ears and listened.

Turning his head, he said to Chen Zhi in disappointment: "I, Fat Weike, got stuck in the face, so don't have too much hope. The voices inside these coffins are very crisp, which means that there is a lot of space inside, and there may not be anything there. nice one."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pry it open," Chen Zhi said anxiously.

Because most of the previous tools were thrown on it, only two simple shovel picks were placed in Ghost Knife's backpack, but they were not suitable for prying the coffin.

Fat Wei shook his hand and said no, he took out the saber from his leggings, touched the edge of the coffin, and inserted the knife into the gap of the coffin.The workmanship of these coffins is really too rough. For some unknown reason, even the nails were not knocked in. Fat Wei pried it with a knife, and a thin seam immediately appeared. Fat Wei grabbed the coffin lid with his hands and lifted it up. With a click, the coffin lid was lifted off as a whole, and the stubble fell all over the floor.

When the lid of the coffin was lifted, the scene inside the coffin was just as Chen Zhi expected, empty.

"Hey? What's going on here? Why is the coffin empty? Where's the corpse inside?" Fat Wei held up the lid of the coffin, stunned, and asked in surprise.

Fat Wei walked inside again, picked a few more coffins and pried them open.It was still empty inside, nothing.

"This is so fucking weird. This little Japanese mind really can't understand. If there are no corpses, what are these empty coffins doing here? Besides, these coffins are all engraved with names. Who are these names? , why should their coffins 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. Since it fell into this hole, the brass compass has returned to normal.

Fat Wei held a compass and said to everyone: "The location of this cave is called Longjing in Feng Shui. This is definitely the main tomb, 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.

At this moment, Chen Zhi silently walked to the middle of these coffins, touching the names on these coffins with his hands with a gloomy expression.

"They didn't overwhelm the host," Chen Zhi said, "They were originally the owners of the tomb, but we have always had wishful thinking and decided that this is the tomb in front of Yuzao."

Chen Zhi looked up at Fat Wei and continued: "It seems that we really misunderstood what happened in this island country more than 1000 years ago.

According to legend, the great Japanese Onmyoji Apei Seimei has boundless mana, and sealed the fox demon Yuzaoqian who was a favorite concubine at that time, who is the Bai Qian we are looking for.But because Tamamo-mae's ability was too powerful to kill completely, Ampere Seimei sealed her into the killing stone.However, if Yu Zaoqian is really the ancient righteous god Bai Qian as we have speculated, then how can Ampere Qingming be able to seal her?
We have speculated before that Ampere Qingming is likely to have the blood of an ancient god and is a powerful demigod, but even so, it is not enough to seal Baiqian, so this victory is definitely not for Ampere. Qingming is the work of one person.

In Japan more than 1000 years ago, the same major event as China's late Shang period must have occurred, that is, the battle between man and god.The leader of this war is undoubtedly the soul figure of the Onmyoji world, Ampere Qingming.

As for Ampere Seimei, as a demigod, why he stood on the human side, we don't know, but that war must have been tragic. "

When Fat Wei heard this, he suddenly interrupted Chen Zhi's words and asked, "The war between man and god? You mean, during the period of Emperor Toba in Japan's Heian period, there was a large-scale war in Japan. But it was not recorded in history?"

"Yes!" Chen Zhi nodded and said, "The annals of history are always the private diaries of those in power. Don't trust the annals too much. We would rather believe in legends more."

Chen Zhi stroked the coffin cover with his hands, and said with the exquisitely carved names: "1000 years ago, these names should be the famous onmyojis in Japan at that time. Some of them were remembered by people, but some were drowned in the torrent of history. middle.

When we encountered "Floating Spirits" above, we saw images of ancient Kyoto in Japan, and we witnessed the true images of those so-called "royal cannibals".Through those tragic behaviors, we can imagine that Japan in that period must have been devastated.

Bai Qian is undoubtedly a cannibal, and her power is too powerful to be resisted by human beings, perhaps including Emperor Toba, who dare not defy her.But later, Ampere Qingming was born in the palace, perhaps because of his special relationship with Bai Qian, his ability as a demigod is very powerful.And most importantly, he chose to stand on the human side in the end.

At that time, Ampere Qingming, in order to fight against Bai Qian.Gathered the top onmyojis from all over Japan. These onmyojis abandoned factionalism and personal grievances. For the survival of the entire nation, they gathered together to fight against Bai Qian.The battle between man and god with great disparity in strength began.

According to the control stone we found, it can be inferred that Bai Qian at that time must have many low-level gods under her command.Therefore, the legend of the coexistence of humans and ghosts in the Heian period of Japan, and the legend of a hundred ghosts walking at night has been left.

The final result of this war is that human beings won, maybe because Ampere Qingming's ability is really powerful, or maybe because of his continuous blood relationship with Bai Qiancut, the facts are no longer known, but in the end, we know that he finally sealed Bai Qian's facts.

After Bai Qian was sealed, it may be because the seal was not stable at that time, or it may be to protect the barrier from being violated.

These one hundred onmyojis chose to stay here and continue to guard Bai Qian's seal. Since then, they have never left this underwater tomb.The exquisite white stone carvings we see outside are all praises to these onmyojis who sacrificed their lives for righteousness.

This explains why the buildings outside the barrier are very magnificent, but the buildings inside the barrier are very crude.Because everything in the enchantment is created in a short period of time.This underwater tomb was not built for Bai Qian from the beginning to the end, but a living burial tomb built for these one hundred and one self-sacrificing onmyojis.

At this time, Fat Wei listened to a storytelling book, his eyes were straightened, and he asked: "You said that more than 100 onmyojis were buried alive, and their bodies are not here, so where are they all gone now?", Fat Wei's eyeballs rolled around, looking around vigilantly.
