Chapter 94: The Tomb of the Snow Princess
A shuddering howl sounded, like the desperate cries of countless people before they died.
Large puffs of cold black smoke erupted from the black zombie's chest, screeching around the burial chamber. Xu Changqing opened the Evil Spirit Illustrated Book with his right hand, pressed it on the title page, and muttered a few words in his mouth. The illustrated book suddenly became powerful, inhaling every trace of black smoke into the book. Black Smoke struggled to escape, but simply couldn't resist.
A hooded figure flew out of the book, circling a few times with joy. The banshee Kuroki finally came back to life, her sword still sharp, and the lantern in her hand was rekindled.
"Welcome back, Magic Tea."
In Xu Changqing's greeting, Heimu just nodded. She's still very bad at words.
By the way, the succubus Nobuta was also summoned. In the past, the terrain was narrow and there were many mechanisms, and multiple people were more likely to run into them. But now it's different, the terrain is open, and it's more suitable for squad operations.
After walking for a while in this natural underground cave, the three of them came to a large hall that had almost completely collapsed. Beyond the massive breach in the wall, the uneven rock face can be seen faintly. There are no lights here, just a little natural glimmer. The huge wooden pillars that were used to support the roof have deteriorated. Most of them were on the stone path, which caused a lot of trouble for the three of them when they walked.
It was an empty temple. The whole hall was empty. Ancient craftsmen skillfully took advantage of the trend of underground karst caves that are low in the west and high in the east, and built tall and majestic altars in the temple. At this moment, they were standing in front of the altar, with their backs to the easternmost wall. The altar is surrounded by a circle of pillars more than three people high. The top of the column danced with an eerie white flame.
The altar was very empty, with dry bones scattered among the towering pillars. There was a faint rancid stench wafting through the air. Hardly a skeleton is complete. They rolled together in their arms, swords in their bones thrust into each other's chests. How tragic the fighting was back then can be seen from the deep knife marks on the dry bones.
Walking through the columns, you gradually approached the huge stone wall. The walls are carved with murals, and the brushwork is simple and lifelike. Xu Changqing looked at it one by one, and his face gradually became surprised. "This, how is this possible?" He kept repeating the phrase.
At first glance, there is nothing special about the content of the mural. It depicts the life, life and legends of a young girl. She fell from the sky with no name and no surname, and was adopted by the abbot of Kuwata Shrine, who named her Ayuki. Ah Xue is as beautiful as the Wind Lotus Lake in spring, and no matter where she goes, she is loved by the people in the village from the bottom of her heart. According to word of mouth, the villagers say that she is the maid in front of the Kuwata Damyojin Throne, and she has come down to the earth to live the world.
However, such peaceful and peaceful days did not last long, and one day, the lord heard about Ayuki's beauty and sent someone to ask for it. The lord's messenger threatened to slaughter the entire Mt. Kuwata and destroy the shrine of the Kuman Damyojin if he did not hand over Ayuki.
All the followers of Kuwata Daimyojin were furious. They rose up and declared their freedom from the lord's rule. Soon, the crusaders came. Relying on their familiarity with the mountains and the good steel produced in the mountains of Mount Kumantake, the miners defeated the lord's army again and again. But after all, the scale of thousands of people cannot confront the entire territory, and the situation is not optimistic. So the miners began to build secret passages in the belly of the mountain to create a way out. They put a lot of good expectations on the mural. The mural prophesioses that the miracle of Kuwata Daimyojin will be displayed on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and the earth will become the kingdom of the gods.
It turns out that this is the true origin of Mt. Kuwata. Putting aside the Kumana Great Mingshen, there are many fragments in it, which are secretly in line with the information collected by Xu Changqing in his previous life. The miracle will be displayed on the top of the snow-capped mountain, which is one of the most important clues that Xu Changqing has mastered in his previous life. He always thought it was the Himalayas or some other famous snow-capped mountain, but he never expected that this nameless Mt. Kumanta would leave a similar legend.
I came to Mt. Kumanta, at first, just to gather enough souls so that the banshee Kuroki could be resurrected. However, the more I got in touch, the more I felt that behind this Kumana Damyojin, there seemed to be an extremely secret about the Chosen One. Now he's very interested in exploring the place.
