Yayoi thought silently about the copy of the death mask held in his hand.

The sealing technique that Orochimaru imposed has a deep connection with Yayoi's own technical skills.

Therefore, he has the ability to crack this technique, but it only takes some time.

Yayoi did not forget the purpose of coming here, so he put away the mask and began to continue to look at the landscape in the temple.

After the destruction of the Umeno Country more than ten years ago, and the recent arrival of Orochimaru and the two lootings, there are basically no valuable artifacts in this hall.

The eight most valuable death masks have disappeared long ago, leaving only the murals on the four walls of this palace.

Yayoi could only stare at the contents of these murals with a close eye.

The content of the mural is quite strange, which is very different from what he imagined. It depicts not ninjutsu, ninjas, but wizards, ghosts and gods, which are very different from the normal style of the ninja world, but it is somewhat similar to the ruins of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

There are four murals, and the general content is:

In the first painting, on the left side of the picture, two young men were chased by a darkness that was hard to see, approaching a stone portal in the shape of an evil ghost. On the right side of the picture, that is, on the other side of the ghost gate, are eight hideous ghosts and gods, and a pair of suns radiating on all sides representing light lines.

In the second painting, on the left side of the picture, one of the men was immediately swallowed by ghosts and gods, while the other was caught up by darkness and dragged into the source of darkness, below the ground. On the right side of the ghost gate was a young woman in mourning clothes and a sun.

In the third painting, the picture turned and the darkness receded, and the ghost gate disappeared. The only place was the ghost and god who had eaten humans was sitting on the ground. An old woman wearing the same mask as the ghost and god held a handful of ribs and cut open the ghost and god's belly. A young man crawled out of the ghost and god's belly. It was the man who had been swallowed before. There was no sun in this painting.

The fourth painting is a group of people wearing wooden masks and holding ribs, surrounding eight people dressed as ghosts and gods, dancing a strange dance. This time there is still no sun in the painting, but there is a full moon without radiant lines.

This dance form is very similar to the Nuo Festival activity in ancient China. It is called Nuo dance, also known as ghost play, and is a twin that combines religious culture and drama culture.

However, the masks worn by people on the murals do not look like the "Nuo mask" for sacrifices, but are closer to the "Nuo mask" carved in cypress wood in traditional Japanese dramas.

Between the intervals of each mural, some unrecognizable chapters of ancient characters are engraved.

Seeing this, Yayoi keenly discovered that the eight hideous images of ghosts and gods looked exactly the same as one of the twenty-seven masks in his laboratory.

"The content of these murals always makes people feel inexplicably déjà ..." An unreliable idea came to Yayoi's mind:

‘It was because Orochimaru had just developed a whimsical way to seal the entire corpse and ghosts just because of these murals?!’

At this time, he also recalled some of the "fine details" memories that he had seen in the memories of the heretic golem. It was similar to this strange folk activity, as if it had already been in the world before the arrival of the sacred tree.

In fact, the power system of the ninja world does not entirely come from the sacred tree brought by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

When the Six Paths of Immortal Otsutsuki Haei fought against his mother Kaguyaki, he mentioned that he had practiced the "Immortal Art" with the Toad Maple of Miaomu Mountain to save Otsutsuki Hae Village, which was also the power that Miaomu Mountain had before the chakra spread.

From this point of view, the technique of sealing the corpse and ghosts of the Vortex clan inherited some local technologies passed down from ancient times to a certain extent.

However, after having convenient things like chakra, some ninjutsu transformations were made over a long period of time, which formed the special ninjutsu, which is both sealing and spiritualism, full of rituals, and involves strange things like the God of Death.

After remembering the content of the murals in my heart, Yayoi studied these murals for a long time, and at the same time he used his fingers to quilt on them, but no new discoveries were made.

"It seems that there is nothing valuable here anymore."

Yayoi sighed. After the power of the perishing Fuchsia Kingdom and the two lootings by Orochimaru, it is rare to have these four murals left here.

Especially Orochimaru, after perfecting the reincarnation technique of filthy land, he was a cruel person who could dig up graves.

Thinking of this, Yayoi thought of leaving the shrine and walking in another direction.

The place he was going to be was the cemetery of the Uzumaki clan, the port, the shrine, and the cemetery. These three were located on the same straight line.

A shrine is different from a temple and is quite far from a cemetery.

Under the bright moonlight, at first glance, there were square column-shaped stone tablets on the cemetery, with the name of the tomb owner engraved on the front and some smaller and longer text chapters engraved on the side, which seemed to be the life of the tomb owner.

Many stone tablets are also inserted with decaying long wooden boards behind them. The wooden boards symbolize pagodas and are called pagodas. There are some ancient characters written on them that you cannot understand.

With the moonlight, Yayoi carefully distinguished it, but found that many of the words engraved on the stone tablets were ancient characters that were different from the normal words in the ninja world.

This made Yayoi a little numb. Although his parents taught him the Uzumaki ninjutsu, they did not tell him about this kind of text during the Rain Country.

I'm afraid that even in the vortex clan, only a few people can know this kind of ancient characters, such as the old man who specializes in engraving monuments.

Some of these unidentified tombs have traces of excavation. Needless to say, this is almost 100% Orochimaru's masterpiece.

After secretly whispering Orochimaru, Yayoi bowed to the cemetery and left without any nostalgia, walking towards the direction he came.

He held the mask left by Orochimaru in his hand, and his fingers slightly touched the pattern on the surface of the mask.

After touching the seal's position, his expression became thoughtful.

It has been more than a year since I completely broke off contact with Orochimaru.

‘That guy Orochimaru, could it be influenced by me, try the reincarnation ninjutsu in advance and then play myself out of the way…’

Yayoi had a premonition that the mask of death that Uncle Snake deliberately placed here was probably the clue he deliberately left on purpose.

"The question is, why did this guy conclude that he would definitely come to the ruins of Wochao Village?" Yayoi was a little curious.

You know, this time I docked in the Vortex Country, which was a complete accident.
Chapter completed!
