08 Demon Gate

"Now the magic protection on the Daoman handwritten letter has been consumed for a long time, and the protection effect has been reduced to the minimum." Shoma Teramoto explained the situation directly.

Sherlock understood that it was clearly written by Ashiya Daoman before his death to his old opponent, so how could he leave a letter to his old opponent? So on the letter that invited Sherlock to Japan, Shoma Teramoto lied to Sherlock.

"But whether it is a curse, the recorded black magic, or the wealth of Ashiya Daoman! These things gradually weaken as time goes by with the magic protection. Even if Ashiya Daoman sets a curse or some other aggressive and vicious spells inside, they should gradually lose the threatening effect."

"It's true, but what we are worried about is not just this, but the worst result." The Qing Court seems to have another layer of secret that has not been told in detail to Sherlock.

"Let me explain it." Feng Mo Ye Yi explained to Sherlock.

"But before I explain in detail, please come with me." Fengmo Yeichi invited Sherlock to go with him to the deeper part of the Shogunate building of the Greater Palace. Of course, the Fakyu Court was accompanied by the Fakyu Court, but Yuriko Ino did not come with him. It was obvious that the next place the three of them were going to is a secret place that only the real senior management of the Greater Palace Shogunate could know.

Or only the shogun and the Ching-Chen are qualified to know the secrets.

It was a dead well with a diameter of two meters. An iron cable with an arm-thickness around it was tied firmly to the four walls of the wellhead, and each lock ring of the iron cable was attached with an ancient yellowed talisman.

Sherlock stretched out his finger to touch one, but the talisman he encountered immediately turned into ashes.

"These should be special talismans that you cast in the spell, but the power of magic has long disappeared, so even the talisman itself cannot resist the passage of time."

"Speaking of the most influential Onmyoji in Japan, the Kamashima family, who once sought to learn the art of talismans in ancient China, the talismans passed down from Japan are largely derived from China, but they have been improved by the Japanese ancestors like Master Abe Seimei."

Shoma Teramoto explained.

Sherlock nodded. If possible, he could ask Shoma Teramoto for some books on talismans. He could also study it carefully, this technique that guides magic power on paper and can be released at any time at critical moments.

But in fact, this technology is similar to attaching magic to items. For example, Voldemort's Horcrux uses powerful black magic to coexist and destroy the Horcrux. At critical moments, it can also protect the Horcrux from external damage.

"This well is the entrance, but in fact, in Japanese history, wells, especially dead wells and dry wells, are often regarded as unknown places, so wells are also mostly described in Japanese mythological stories as places where monsters, evil spirits, ghosts, or demons are sealed."

Shogun Fumiya Yachi continued, "In ancient times, wizards often threw them directly into the well or drowned, or starved to death."

"Ah... I've also watched your Japanese horror movies, where there are scenes of ghosts crawling out of the well. In one of the movies in Midnight Bell, the heroine was locked in the well. It is said that she had lived in the well for decades before she died."

Fengmo Yeichi and Sakama Gemoto looked at each other, but they still climbed down from the wellhead, while Sherlock was the last one to go down.

The dry well was very deep, and the three of them had to go down at least fifty meters.

After landing on the ground, there was a wide and long tunnel ahead. Shoma Temoto, Yeichi, and Sherlock each took out his wand and flashed fluorescently.

Kamila whispered tightly around Sherlock's wrist, "The breath nearby is too cold and wet, like a place where snakes can't like it."

The tunnel is getting wider and wider, and it is getting higher and higher above the head.

When the three of them walked to the end, they could see a large iron gate that was thirty meters high. There were countless iron chains wrapped around the iron gate, and countless copper locks hung on the chains and countless talismans stuck on the door.

I don’t know how many years it has been standing underground, but I can only see the appearance of red rust, like a gate that has been poured with blood.

If you listen carefully, it seems that there is a sound of iron lungs breathing in the gate. It is impossible to guarantee that behind the iron gate is the hell leading to Japan, the Uzumaki Hirasaka where the undead is located.

"This is the Seiko Sect! And it is also the part we are most worried about." Shoma Teramoto was a little worried, and even did not hide it.

"The existence of the demon sealing sect can involve the ancient master Abe Seimei sealing some evil and even irresistible monsters behind this iron gate. Even the Qing court and shogun in our great academy shogun believed that with the protection of this iron gate, it would at least ensure the peace of the Japanese magic world for hundreds of years. Not only are the evil wizards in this place, but also some very terrifying magic creatures and even some evil magic powers."

"But hundreds of years have passed, you will never think that the things behind the iron gate are still alive."

Sherlock felt that these Japanese were a little fussy and even timid, and he was even scared of an ancient legend and even was scared by an iron gate for hundreds of years.

If this is in the UK, it may be opened by the Ministry of Magic as a tourist attraction and can also increase income.

"Doman's letter was written by Ashiya Doman for Abe Harumaki, and the Seal of Demon Sect was a proud work by Abe Harumaki to seal monsters and monsters on Mount Fuji. Our worst guess is that Ashiya Doman would probably write in the letter a method or magic to crack the Seal of Demon Sect in it."

Sherlock asked curiously, "But now the full letter is in your hands. Even if you know how to open this 30-meter high-speed rail door, will it still be safe if you don't use it?"

Fengmo Yeichi and Sakama Gemoto sighed together, and said worriedly, "Master Sherlock, that's just that you don't understand the current situation in Japan's magic world. I want to ask, do you know the organization of Monster Mountain?"

Sherlock was stunned, as if when she was on Tookaimaru, the Chieri who was taken advantage of by Sherlock was the top geisha of Mileya, and Yuriko Ino was also considered by Yuriko Ino to be one of the members of Monster Mountain.

After all, Yuriko was hit by the other party's soul-catching curse.

Could it be that this so-called Monster Mountain organization is like the Death Eater force established by Voldemort, and is also a terrorist organization that wants to subvert the regime in the magic world?
