"Show me!" Merry reached out and snatched the copper piece directly from my hand, looking at it carefully and intently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is a rare outpouring of true feelings, which is enough to explain the problem, she knows the history of the Dao Alliance like me, and may know more than me. Her reaction was not just as simple as knowing, but more like there was some kind of relationship. As soon as the fragments appeared, we stopped, and the stone gate was only pushed through a small gap. Bo Gang asked, "Still pushing?" "Wait a minute!" I wanted to figure out why Merry was so responsive. Professor Zhang then asked, "What is this Dao Alliance? Why have I never heard of it?" I don't know if he really hasn't heard of it or pretends not to know, since Merry can let him lead the team, he should know a little bit about the situation, this may be another temptation. I said briefly, "The Dao Alliance is a very mysterious organization in the past, leaving only a few sporadic records. Now Daomeng is a taboo topic, and generally no one wants to mention it. Professor Zhang stroked his beard and said, "It's a bit interesting, I like to study secrets!" I think he is gossip, but I didn't say it in my heart. Merry put down the fragments, took a piece of cloth from his backpack, and carefully wrapped it, seemingly not going to give it to me again. "I'm okay with you putting it away, you should at least tell me what it is. I asked. Merry said without raising his head: "This is the Dao Alliance Ghost Killing Talisman, which is a magic weapon, and its appearance shows that a big war broke out here." "I know this, the key is who fights whom?" I continued. "One side is the Dao Alliance, and the other side is of course the Onmyoji. Merry thought for a moment and added: "Although many years have passed, some of the methods of both sides may still be there, be careful of the moves." Professor Zhang was a little unconvinced, and asked, "Little brother, is this possible?" Merry reminded her directly, perhaps beyond her bottom line. I nodded and said, "It's possible, if it's a closed space inside the stone gate, it's likely to be preserved, so everyone must be vigilant." "Understood!" I saw that everyone nodded, and then I returned to the stone gate and pushed hard. Click...... Click...... The stone door rubbed against the ground, making a very slight sound, and the door that had been sealed for a long time was finally opened by us. Moist moisture blew across my face, and the air was filled with a strong musty smell, mixed with a faint stench, and I immediately recognized the smell of corpses. We stood at the door, not going inside. When I looked forward with a flashlight, I saw a humanoid object lying on the ground, and then I looked to the side, and there were several similar objects. When I looked closely, these were corpses, because the damp and special environment here did not decompose, but became wet corpses, completely waxed. It's still in the shape of a human being, but it looks terrifying. The clothes on the corpses have long been tattered, and some even have moss on them. The original drowning of the clothes was probably green. In those war years, the clothes of both sides were almost the same color, and it was impossible to distinguish whether they were friends or foes for the time being. Further in, the number of corpses is increasing, and the wax corpses in the corner of the wall on one side are piled up into a small mountain, and the flashlight shines past, which is quite terrifying. The wax corpse's skin was blackish-purple, a thin layer wrapped tightly around the bones. The surface of the skin has a film that resembles oil and also reflects a shimmering light. Some of the heads were exposed, their lips were barely visible, and the white teeth were exposed to the air. The eyes are even more terrifying, rotting into two black holes. When the flashlight shines, two swarthy holes seem to be staring at you. One or two corpses may be able to bear it, but when nearly a hundred corpses stare at you like this, everyone's heart is a little uncomfortable. The crowd fell silent at once, and their fiery search for treasure was extinguished by a basin of cold water. Seeing so many corpses of the same kind, everyone's heart chuckled. After a while, Professor Zhang asked, "Little brother, these people are ......?" and "These people are probably from the convoy outside." "I didn't find any weapons around the bodies, and the average height of these people was over one meter six. Unlikely to be a little devil. Bo Gang asked in a panic, "How did these people die?" "I don't know!" I shook my head and said, "There are no injuries on the surface of the corpse, if you want to know the cause of death, then you need an autopsy." The mercenary asked, "So what are we supposed to do?" Just stand here?" "I shone the flashlight farther away, and the light spread out and I couldn't see anything. The mercenary whispered to himself: "I've seen a lot of corpses, and I've seen scenes that are even more tragic than this, and I don't feel too much." Why do I feel so cautious at this moment?" "Not only them, but I'm sure everyone has this similar feeling, even my heart is a little hairy!" "Don't move, I'll check it." "The ghost fire just now seems to be the resentment of these dead corpses, and after dying for such a long time, the unjust souls are still there, which shows that these people are not dead. I touched the cow's tears, but I didn't see any dead souls. There are only two possibilities, either there is some kind of energy here to prevent the revenant from appearing. The souls who are alive and dead don't want us to see them. Either way, the picture is not rosy. I walked up to the first corpse and crouched down to see that it had been too long, and that part of the wax corpse had dissolved and seeped into the rock, and after a while, the wax corpse would merge with the stone. This scene looks a little scary, but at least there is no need to worry about the corpse turning into a zombie and hurting people. I drew my dagger and didn't use much force to pick the clothes off the wax corpse. The fabric had long since rotted and shattered at the slightest touch. I carefully observed the body under the light, and found no obvious injuries on the surface of the body, at least I didn't, and I am not a professional forensic doctor. But one thing I know for sure is that these people didn't die in shootouts. "What did you find?" asked Professor Zhang. I spread my hands and said I got nothing. If Merry was right, these people died in a sorcery confrontation, then I couldn't find out the cause of death, so I had to give up. Striding to the mountain of corpses, the wax corpses and the melted corpse tissue on the ground were glued together, and the corpses could no longer be separated. The expressions of each wax corpse were very hideous, and it was impossible to tell if they were like this before they died, or if the process of corpse waxing became like this. Between the two heads, there was a piece of cloth exposed, I reached out and touched it, the piece was still strong, and I pulled the piece out with all my might. With a thud, the cloth was torn, and I only held a corner in my hand. With the flashlight, the cloth was soaked with the corpse fluid produced during the decay of the corpse, and the cloth appeared black and purple, but the handwriting on the cloth could be seen faintly under the light. After so many years, the handwriting has long been blurred, but a general outline can be discerned. I'm sure the text is not Japanese, it's kanji. In other words, these wax corpses are members of the convoy above, and they are on our side. I bowed deeply to the mountain of corpses to express my respect for the martyrs. "Alright, you can come here. "I beckoned Professor Zhang and the others to come over. "Are you identified?" Merry asked. "Probably yes!" I showed her the patch. Professor Zhang looked at it and said, "Then these people may be expeditionary forces and Nanyang mechanics!" Merry glanced at it, pointed to a corpse in the corpse mountain and said, "This one doesn't look like our people no matter how you look at it." "The man was wrapped in corpses around him, with only his head exposed. I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Merry pulled out a dagger and pried open the arm of the wax corpse next to him, revealing a special piece of fabric. At a glance, you can see that it is a very high-grade fabric, and it is very different from the wax corpses around it. This dress looks very quaint and looks like a kimono. "Is this an Onmyoji?" I reacted instantly. It depends on the situation that these people worked together and dragged this onmyoji to death. It is no longer possible to restore the situation at that time, but it can be seen that these people have used the method of dying together, exchanging their lives for their lives. So it must be something that matters!
