Chapter 1938 Seven Bone Samurai
If you look closely, you will see that the white light is actually a pile of skulls and bones.
Han Laoliu and I stepped forward and counted. There were seven bones in total, arranged neatly in a row.
Judging from the scattered positions of the corpses, they were kneeling on the ground at the last moment of their lives, and each of them had a long knife stuck in their chest.
The blade of the knife cut open the abdomen, the blade passed through the back, and the handle of the knife was still tightly held in their hands.
Obviously, these people committed seppuku.
It seems that the custom of samurai's seppuku has been around for a long time and has quite a history!
Han Laoliu circled the corpse twice and said: "Before Emperor Jimmu was buried, this place should have been the place of worship for Amaterasu. After Emperor Jimmu died, he turned this place into his own cemetery, and at the same time he built Overcoming layers of restrictions.”
"Due to the loss of the emperor's bloodline, no one has taken a step forward for thousands of years. We and Ito Shohei of Amaterasu Shinkai are likely to be the first batch of entrants. So it is obvious that these people are probably Emperor Jimmu. His followers are the builders of the ancient tomb."
"Then why did they commit suicide here? Could it be that..." I was surprised and asked: "Could it be that the true body of Emperor Jimmu is nearby?"
"To be more precise, it should be behind this wall!" Han Laoliu pointed to the stone wall opposite the bones: "If these few of them are really loyal followers of Emperor Jimmu, and are qualified to enter such a secret place The place, its status was definitely not low back then. The place where they committed suicide must not be far from Emperor Jimmu - according to the custom of ancient Japanese festivals, it was just outside the Coffin Tomb."
Han Laoliu was very sure: "This wall is Sendai, and the body of Emperor Jimmu must be inside!"
"Then..." I was stunned for a moment and said: "In that case, is the artifact that Xiao Bailong mentioned hidden here? And it is also probably where the formation eye is."
"It's not certain yet, but since we have come all the way here, we must not let go of any possibility, not to mention that this possibility is extremely high!" He said and pointed inside: "Also, then That’s where the ticking sound comes from.”
Tick tock, tick tock...
The sound became louder and louder, but the intervals became longer and longer.
It was like the intermittent sound of a piano in a deserted wilderness.
All questions and answers point to this wall!
Han Laoliu and I looked at each other and walked towards the wall at the same time.
The high wall opposite the corpse is blood red, about twenty meters high and seven or eight meters wide. It protrudes from the surface and is covered with a magnificent giant mural carved on it.
The carving technique is extremely superb, and all the scenes are lifelike.
In the endless wilderness, a river flows, and people as thin as a fingernail are harvesting crops and fishing for fish and shrimps. It is full of peace.
Further away, the Weiwei Mountains are a great place in the world!
At the top of the mural, white clouds are billowing, and half a red sun shines on the earth.
Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it.
But we all know that this mural is by no means simple - this is the last barrier in front of the corpse of Emperor Jimmu, and it cannot be just a useless decorative painting!
But the two of us stood under the stone wall, staring left and right for a long time, but we didn't realize where the mechanism was.
"How about... I try it first?" I pulled out a magic talisman and asked Han Laoliu.
Han Laoliu touched his chin and thought for a while and said: "That's fine, but don't use too much force. Let's explore the door first."
This makes sense. Since this stone wall is the last barrier in front of Emperor Jimmu's body, it is naturally extremely powerful. If we act rashly, it will definitely be extremely dangerous once the trap formation is triggered at the same time.
It is safest to test it with a slightly less powerful spell first to see where the gate of life is.
I changed a talisman, signaled Han Laoliu to take a few steps back, and then walked out.
boom! The talisman exploded on the stone wall, sparking a burst of fire.
The stone wall did not move at all, nor did it change at all.
I looked at Han Laoliu and pulled out another more powerful one.
Quack, quack…
At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise coming from behind.
I looked back a little strangely and saw that the pile of bones behind me was moving.
The white bones scattered on the ground seemed to be connected by threads, and they were actually condensed together again.
The seven white bones slowly stood up and slowly pulled the handle of the knife.
The sound of gold and iron rubbing against the ribs kept reaching the ears, making the scalp of those listening feel numb.
Uh-huh!
The seven long knives were drawn out at the same time, and the tip of the knife was directed towards both of us. Both the movements and the direction of the blade were uniform and exactly the same!
Quack, quack quack...
Seven skeleton men clutched long knives and slowly surrounded us.
"Oh, it turns out this is also one of the traps!" Han Laoliu took a step forward with a solemn expression: "Jiulin, you continue to crack the trap, and leave these rotten bones to me."
"Okay!" The situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to say anything more. I threw my hand away and threw the magic talisman in my hand.
As soon as the talisman landed on the door, it turned into ashes.
boom!
Rumble…
At the same time, there was another burst of thunder behind him.
Immediately afterwards, there was another rustling sound, as if there were countless people running, and as if tens of thousands of big rats were gnawing on something at the same time. It was chaotic, dense, tiny, and endless!
What's even more strange is that the few skeleton men who are about to surround them are also motionless, as if they are quietly waiting for something.
Seven long knives are lined up in a row, and under the cold light, they seem to be filled with murderous intent, but their purpose seems to be just to block our retreat!
"Jilin, you don't have to worry about other things! Open the stone wall as soon as possible." Han Laoliu stared at the bones tightly without looking back and said in a stern voice.
I was cruel and took out a Thunder Talisman from my arms!
This is a spell I learned from Taoist Master Bai He. My current level of cultivation is far from enough to display one-tenth of its original power, but it is still the strongest spell I can master at the moment.
Click!
A golden light struck the stone wall, exploding into a cloud of debris.
The golden light did not disappear as usual, but suddenly expanded, illuminating the entire stone wall in a flash.
Like a slowly unfolding scroll, the entire mural suddenly came alive!
The originally bright red color changed dramatically, the mountains and rivers turned green, the rivers became brighter, the fields became golden, and even the people working everywhere became active.
It was as if this was not a mural at all, but a large screen that was playing Japanese folk scenes at the same time.
