Chapter 294: The Trap in the Heavenly Burial Table
The Netherworld Void, located in the deep belly of the ice field, between Tanggula Mountain and Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, upstream of the Nu River, surrounded by glaciers, has always been one of the top secret forbidden places for pagan monks. This place is located at the intersection of the Three Realms, and it is the edge of time and space in the true sense, because of this, this part of the area is very unstable, needless to say that the Nirvana Demon Emperor has such a powerful power, even if it is just an ordinary earthquake or bomb explosion, it may cause the time and space to collapse here, thus creating a terrible turbulence that swallows everything in it.
According to Dao Zhen's plan, the other party wanted to lure the Nirvana Demon Emperor to come and liberate the power of the dark domain, so as to enter his own trap, detonate the Netherworld Void, and disappear. But the Nirvana Demon Emperor quickly thought of another way, although he couldn't shuttle directly into the dark realm, he could also try to liberate the dark realm from the netherworld from the outside. So, the Nervana Emperor decided to go to the Netherworld Void of the Ice Domain in person, this process could not be directly shuttled by the evil power, and the Nirvana Demon Emperor also used his fastest speed, it took nearly a week to finally arrive here, and he killed many monsters on the way.
However, these monsters are no longer visible when they are close to the ice field, and in the ice field, the lives of the people here do not seem to be affected by the outside world, and the apocalyptic catastrophe of the outside world does not seem to be able to spread here, and all thanks to this new reincarnated living Buddha, Mortal Rinpoche.
At the edge of the ice domain, every kilometer, there is an outpost composed of white-clothed lamas and the army, I don't know if those monsters and zombies are afraid of the power of these lamas, or because the ice domain is adjacent to the holy area, these evil things themselves are difficult to approach. The Nirvana Emperor originally thought that it shouldn't be too troublesome for him to pass through these outposts, so as usual, he directly sped up and passed through the outposts.
However, as soon as he passed through the outpost at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, two barriers suddenly stopped him, and his body was firmly wrapped in a charm, and he almost fell to the ground.
Not long after, a white-clothed lama slowly walked over and looked at the Nirvana Emperor in shock.
On the left and right of the Nirvana Emperor, two lamas who looked relatively young came out, their hands holding the trick with solemn expressions.
"Sining Khenpo, what should you do with this guy?"
Sining frowned, he didn't expect that this sudden intruder had a kind of déjà vu aura on his body, this aura was both good and evil, and only when he was listening to Master Lingjie's teachings, he had sensed this aura from his master.
"Who are you? Why break in here? ”
The Nirvana Demon Emperor was careless just now, and he accidentally fell into the enchantment trap, but he knew very well that this level of trap alone would not be able to trap him at all.
His current purpose was to liberate the power of the Dark Realm, so he didn't want to spend too much time pestering them.
"Hehe, tell your master that Yu Changsheng wants to go into Tibet to get something!"
The Demon Emperor sneered, and the spell that bound him turned into a cloud of gold dust in an instant, and he himself disappeared again at lightning speed, leaving the three stunned lamas behind.
The Demon Emperor got rid of the trap of these lamas and continued to move forward rapidly, and soon he had come to Ruxian County near the Netherworld Void.
For example, it means "female yak horn", and legend has it that it was originally a place where a "female yak tribe" settled. For example, the mountains and valleys in the territory are vertical and horizontal, surrounded by icebergs and snow peaks, the average altitude is more than 4000 meters, every year from October to April of the following year is the ice and snow season, the road is difficult to pass, due to the relationship between altitude and terrain in the small environment, the microclimate is extremely complex and changeable, no wonder it is not well known to outsiders.
From the map, I have been seeing that there is a road between Ding Qing and Ba Qing, which can be reached directly, for example, and there is almost no need to detour, but where to go from and what the road conditions are, it seems that I don't know anything. Later, some admiring explorers got more accurate information that the road on the map had been abandoned and could not be walked.
However, for the Nirvana Emperor, climbing over these mountains and ravines is also like walking on the ground, and he soon found this paradise-like county, in this world that has fallen into dire straits, there is such a self-sufficient, isolated small county town, which is really indescribably refreshing. However, there was no throbbing in the heart of the Nirvana Emperor, and the more peaceful and clear the environment, the more disgusting and uncomfortable he felt. In contrast, he still prefers the terrible scene of the outside world, which is about to become purgatory on earth.
The blood and corpses that were vivid in his purpose, the thrilling ruins and fragments, all stimulated the throbbing of every cell in his body, made him feel more hearty than ever, and sometimes he couldn't help but want to thank this guy who made the end of the world come, this enemy who wanted to design to kill him. The more he thought of this, the more excited the Nirvana Demon Emperor felt!
Daozhen, Daozhen...... I'll remember you with this awkward and ugly name, and then brutally kill you!
The Demon Emperor licked his lips and swaggered into Ruxian County, although passers-by cast strange glances at this man in strange black clothes, they were all shocked by his terrifying aura, and no one dared to talk or even approach.
The place where the Nirvana Emperor is going is the Dharma Temple here, and the Netherworld Void is hidden in the heavenly burial platform of this temple.
The Nirvana Emperor soon followed the familiar breath of death to this monastery, and several lamas in the temple tried to stop the Nirvana Emperor, but before they could speak, they bled and fell to the ground. Emperor Nirvana came to the middle of the temple, where there was a heavenly burial pond about 4 square meters in size, paved with pebbles, and on the north side of the pond there was a 60-centimeter-high rectangular stone, which was used to park the corpse during the heavenly burial, and according to normal rules, these places could not be stepped on. The west gate is used for the entry and exit of the living, the south gate is the entrance for the corpse, and the house on the north side is for chanting and praying for the deceased.
Outside the south gate of the courtyard, a prayer flagpole about 10 meters high is also erected, there is a skull sculpture on it, and many faded prayer flags are hung on the top.
In Tibetan customs, the deceased is taken to the burial platform, the body should be curled, the head bent to the knees, made into a sitting position, wrapped in a white Tibetan quilt, and the corpse is sent to the burial platform by the person carrying the corpse on an auspicious day, lighting mulberry smoke to attract eagle vultures, and then the celestial burial master will perform autopsy. Because eagle vultures like to eat meat and do not like to eat bones, the celestial burial procedure uses a flashback method to feed the bones first. For people who do not die naturally, the body cannot enter the pool, but can only be decomposed outside the pool.
The whole courtyard of the heavenly burial platform is about hundreds of square meters, surrounded by an earthen wall about one person high, the south wall and the west wall, with wooden frames made of wood lined up neatly squares, each grid, are inlaid with a human skull, these neatly arranged human skulls, forming two skeleton walls, the skeletons are of different styles, some skeletons, grass grows, a few small birds, falling from the sky, quickly from those empty and gloomy eye sockets into the skeletons, probably they will settle their home in this strict skeleton, this is the skeleton wall that the Nirvana Demon Emperor wants to find.
In Tibetan areas, after death, all the corpses are fed to the eagle vultures, leaving no one, to show the smooth reincarnation, why here is the only one, but to keep the skulls of many deceased, let us puzzled, it can also be called the ice area unique.
What's even more amazing is that in the past, there were skull walls on three sides of this day burial platform, more than 4,000 square meters, but later I don't know what the reason was, all the walls fell, and all the skeletons entered the Nu River. The current skull wall has only two sides, and it is slowly rebuilt with the remaining skeletons, as well as the skeletons after the heavenly burial in recent decades, and even so, the remaining two walls are only half as high as they were original.
The scale of the skull wall is small, but there is another magic here, that is, the courtyard is completely empty, forming a cellar, and this cellar is the heavenly burial pool. It is made entirely of stone blocks on all sides and at the bottom, and inside it is a statue of Buddha, and sutras, religious articles and offerings are stored. For example, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the winter temperature is extremely low, and the coldest time is close to minus 40 degrees. However, in this sky burial pool, no matter how strong the corpses brought in are frozen elsewhere, as long as they are left here overnight, they will be 100% thawed the next day, and normal sky burials can be carried out, and no one can say why. It is precisely because of the existence of this mystery that the celestial burial platform here is famous.
So why does the burial platform here keep the skulls of the deceased?
One legend is that hundreds of years ago, there was a young boy in a tribe who witnessed the killing of three people when he was 8 years old, and he was so frightened that he ran to the Buddha of the 5th Dab, for example, before stopping. Later, the Living Buddha appointed him as the celestial burial master of the Dharma Temple. So he took down the bodies of all the dead and threw them in the southeast corner of the burial courtyard until they became skeletons, and then picked them up one by one. He started from the northeast corner of the burial hall and basically placed it in the southwest corner when he returned to heaven in his 50s. It is said that the reason why he did this was because he was afraid that the murderer would be mixed into the celestial burial procession after his death.
There is also a theory that the preservation of the skull of the deceased was made during the 13th Dynasty by the temple rules of the Dapu Living Buddha Danba Tuku Wuzhu, also known as Baima Baizha, of the Xiangqu Temple in Xiangqu Township, for example, and the specific motive is still unclear.
Of course, these legends are insignificant to the Nirvana Emperor. He also knew exactly what the reason for these strange things came about, and he also knew a secret that the outside world could not know. The original three skull walls, in fact, each side was connected to a Netherworld Void, and one of the Netherworld Voids, just many years ago, was destroyed, and there was a space-time turbulence, and as the entrance to the Netherworld Void, that skull wall also collapsed and destroyed.
Now, the Netherworld Void that the Nirvana Demon Emperor is going to should be located in one of the skeleton walls, and his intuition tells him that there must be a trap in the Netherworld Void connected by these two skeleton walls!
The Nirvana Demon Emperor thought to himself, Dao Zhen had already considered the possibility of directly shuttling to the Dark Realm, so he must also be able to think of the possibility that he would come directly to the Netherworld Void from the outside world!
Hey, hey, hey...... There must be a trap!
The Demon Emperor smiled evilly again, stroking the hideous skull wall with his hand.
