Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 64 Ruochu
squeak!
The white coffin opened, and an invisible wave came out from the coffin. I could see that the space above the white coffin was slightly distorted, as if something had escaped from the coffin.

I stretched my head and looked into the white coffin. Anyway, these were just recreating the illusions of the year, and I didn't have to worry about any accidents, so my movements were not as cautious as I was at the beginning.

call!
I took a long breath, and sure enough, the thing in this coffin was the woman who had always had an inexplicable connection with me. She was lying quietly in the white coffin, her eyes were closed, her face was serene, but in her closed eyes Some crystal drops of water slipped from his eyes, as if he had also endured unparalleled sadness in a dream.

There was another chattering sound, and the two men who opened the white coffin turned around and said something to the middle-aged man and the woman. They looked a little excited, as if something had happened to the woman in the coffin that surprised them.

I saw the woman in the golden phoenix robe rushing towards her. She was lying on the edge of the white coffin, her eyes fixed on the woman in the coffin, her face full of disbelief.

The muscles on her face trembled with excitement, her red lips squirmed, and it took a long time before she slowly burst out two words: "Ruochu."

I couldn't help being startled, was she calling the name of the woman in the coffin?I couldn't understand what she said, but the two words that came out of her mouth sounded like "Ruochu" in Chinese.

Is the woman in this coffin named Ruochu?
The middle-aged man behind also came up, and he glanced at the woman in the coffin lightly. Although the expression on his face didn't change, I could see a trace of joy in his slender eyes.

The middle-aged man lowered his head and said a few words to the woman in the phoenix robe. The woman hesitated for a moment, her face showing a struggle, but when she saw Ruochu lying quietly in the coffin, she Gritting her teeth, she seemed to have made up her mind, then she turned around and walked down the altar, walking deeper into the main hall. With the help of the surrounding firelight, I saw behind the altar, a little further away, like a posing Put this a small shrine.

The woman walked up to the shrine, knelt respectfully on the ground, made some weird gestures, and chanted some complicated scriptures. After a while, she stretched out her hands and took it from the shrine with a devout face. The next thing, and then walked towards the altar.

When she got on the altar, I saw that what she was holding in her hand was a bronze mask with a weird shape, but when I saw this mask, my eyes suddenly widened, and the eyeballs almost popped out, although this kind of I have seen many bronze masks in the same style as before, but I recognized the one in this woman's hand at a glance.

This weird bronze mask is the one that my grandfather took out in the white coffin. There is a beautifully shaped phoenix in the small square hole on the forehead of the mask, which is not found on other masks I have seen. , I still remember that my grandfather was holding this mask and told me that this mask was a treasure handed down to me by my Chen family ancestors.

Holding the mask in her hand, the woman walked to the white coffin, knelt on the ground respectfully, raised her hands high, and raised the bronze mask in front of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man made a strange etiquette to the mask, and then took the mask from the woman's hand respectfully, but I stood aside and saw that although the man's face was trying to show a pious and respectful body, his eyes But full of deep disdain.

The middle-aged man walked up to the white coffin, held up the bronze mask in his hand, and said something loudly to the countless people standing quietly under the altar, his voice was passionate, as if it had a special magical power, even if I heard I don't understand what he said, but just standing aside, I feel like the blood in my whole body is starting to boil.

The two men standing beside him knelt down to the middle-aged man at the same time, with respectful expressions.At this moment, countless Shu people in fine clothes under the altar also knelt down at the same time with a "swipe". They knelt on the ground and worshiped the tall altar. Shouting neat and uniform words, it's like a group of pious practitioners are seeing a supreme god.

The middle-aged man looked excited, and spoke loudly, impassioned, and his voice echoed throughout the hall.I stood aside blankly, looking at what happened in front of me, and felt so shocked in my heart. At this moment, the man in front of me was like a high-ranking emperor. bow down before him.

After a long time, the middle-aged man put down the mask he held high in his hand, walked to the coffin, looked at the woman lying in the coffin quietly, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and said softly: "Ruochu. "

Then, the man slowly put the bronze mask in his hand on Ruochu's face. The mask was put on the woman's face, covering her beautiful face, and what appeared in front of people was a strange, square face. The bronze mask with big ears looks very strange.

An inexplicable suffocation rose from my mouth. The scene in front of me seemed familiar. What Chen Shengzhi saw when he opened the white coffin in Qingyi Qiang Castle was the same situation. A naked woman Lying quietly in a white coffin with a weird bronze mask on his face, just thinking about it makes people feel chills down the spine.

However, since this woman named Ruochu appeared on the altar of the ancient Shu people, how could she end up in the Qingyi Qiang Castle far away in Yazhou?
Mount Qingcheng and Qingyi Village are hundreds of kilometers apart. In ancient times when there were no cars and roads, that was not a short distance. In addition, the ancient Xichuan area was densely forested and full of wild animals, making it difficult for ordinary people to cross. How is this white coffin? What about the one who ran into the hands of Qingyi Qiang?
Ancient Shu and Ancient Qiang, the two oldest civilizations gradually began to intersect in my heart. Perhaps, there is still an unknown connection between these two ancient civilizations.I have a faint realization in my heart, maybe as long as I can find the connection between the ancient Shu people and the ancient Qiang people, all the problems will clear up the fog in front of me, revealing the true face below.

boom!
The white coffin was closed again, and the coffin lid covered with fine scales blocked my sight, and also blocked the intersection between me and the woman named Ruochu.

I walked to the coffin and looked at the white coffin in front of me that I had seen three times. I couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it. There was a feeling from the bottom of my heart telling me to open it!Open this white coffin!
But the rationality in my heart told me that all these are illusions, all of which appeared in front of me because of the imprint of the phoenix bird. The white coffin is just something that existed countless years ago, and it is impossible for me to touch it. Maybe I will pass through their bodies like those Shu people.

My hand was getting closer and closer to the white coffin. Finally, my hand was placed on the white coffin. There was a smooth and flexible touch in my hand, and the fine scales were covered by my palm.

This is real, the white coffin in front of him is not an illusion, but a real existence.

I felt a cool air rushing towards my body from the white coffin where I touched the palm of my hand, and I was terrified, cold sweat dripped from my forehead drop by drop, and made a crisp sound when it fell on the ground.

I raised my head, feeling a blur in front of my eyes, my eyes were swollen to the extreme, as if they were going to explode, I let out a scream, and fell to the ground all at once.I covered my eyes and rubbed them desperately, trying to relieve the pain.

After a long time, the pain in my eyes gradually receded. I turned my head and looked around, and found that the whole hall suddenly became much darker. The lights that had been burning all around had been extinguished, and the bronze lamps were covered with a thick layer of dust.The cold luster released by the gemstone crystals on the wall made the surroundings somewhat gloomy.

Right in front of me, a white coffin was lying there quietly. On both sides of the white coffin, there were a few ghosts and monsters standing there. Their eyes were shining, and they were staring at me...
