Chapter Ninety-Three: Wishing the Incense Mantra, the Eight-Character Mantra
I handed the sandalwood to Chen Li and said solemnly: "Every twelve hours, when the golden light is dim, you will recite the mantra, can you do it?" ”
"What curse?"
I took off the pen and paper and wrote down the eight-character mantra of the incense mantra, and Chen Li recited it in a low voice several times.
As she recited, the golden sandalwood would become brighter.
……
In this vast desert, the orientation of the yellow sand, including the geology, changes at any time, and even I can't tell the direction.
In order not to stumble like a headless fly like I did in a sandstorm last time, I had to leave my coordinates.
The incense mantra that I ignited, and the breath that emanated from it could feel the direction no matter how far apart it was.
But the incense mantra had to be recited every other day. If there is no Chen Li, Qin Lan can only be asked to do this work.
can go to Mingsha Mountain from here, and Qin Lan is also a necessary help. Chen Li was willing to help, which saved me a lot......
Desert daylight usually comes very early.
At 4:58 a.m., Abdul, whose face was pale with pain and covered in cold sweat, knocked on our door.
When I packed my luggage and sat in my wheelchair to prepare to leave, Abdul said with an ugly face: "Immortal Master, I went to inspect the road section as soon as possible, and found that the road sign to Mingsha Mountain was destroyed by someone. ”
I asked angrily, "Without road signs, you can't find Mingsha Mountain!?" ”
"Yes."
"Then you just wait to die!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Abdul begged: "Don't be angry, Immortal Master, I didn't mean to play tricks on you. Although I couldn't find Mingsha Mountain, there was a person in the town who could be found even if there were no road signs. ”
"Who?"
"Bai Xiding, the elder of Mingsha Town, in the past, when someone died in the town, he took the body to Mingsha Mountain to hold a sky burial."
"He has walked this road no less than dozens of times, and only he can take us there!"
I paused and asked in a deep voice, "Can he show us the way?" ”
"Yes, surely!"
Abdul swore an oath, stretched out three fingers and said, "Malik and Rahman are dead, even in the name of celestial burial, we can ask Bai Xidin to take us to Mingsha Mountain." ”
"Yes, you can call someone, and I'll wait here. But you are not allowed to divulge a single word about Rahman's death. ”
"Got it, I'm ...... I'll go! ”
Abdul hurriedly ran out of the door, and then I returned to the room and said to Chen Li in a solemn voice: "I put enough food and water under the bed for you, and I will lock the door when I leave, and no one tells you to open the door except us, understand?" ”
After Chen Li nodded, I closed the door and silently recited: The patriarch's method of hiding my body, the door nail armor is raised......
What I am chanting is the secret method of the partial door in the Luban book, once the mantra is recited from the outside of the door, this door will be invulnerable, and the lock will be as hard as gold and stone.
Unless the person inside opens it voluntarily, it is difficult for others to enter.
With this spell, at least Chen Li's safety can be guaranteed......
After a while, a thin, bald and white-bearded old man, wearing a mink jacket, his face was flushed and swaying, and he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine.
Abdul's body was placed in the middle of the hall, dressed in a shroud, lying with a pale face.
Bai Xiding squatted beside the corpse, his eyes were a little red, and asked, "How did my eldest nephew die?" ”
My heart sank, for fear that Abdul would say something out of his mouth.
Fortunately, Abdul's eyes rolled and he pretended to be sad, "It seems that I was drunk last night, and when I went out to pee, I fell in the sand, and I was half buried by the wind and sand, and I froze to death." ”
Malik lost a third of his blood, and his stiff appearance really looked like he was frozen to death.
Since we had changed our clothes beforehand, the wound on Malik's neck was covered, so Bracitin did not suspect it.
After shedding a few tears, Bai Xiding coughed a few times, spit out a mouthful of disgusting sticky phlegm on the ground, and then rubbed his hands, "You should understand the rules of heavenly burial." ”
"Of course I do!"
Abdul hurriedly took out a thumb-sized piece of sand gold from his pocket and stuffed it into Bai Xiding's hand.
Bai Xiding weighed the weight, put Sha Jin in his pocket with satisfaction, and then said: "There are rules for sky burials, and a male relative in the family must follow. ”
"Poor Malik's parents died early, and no male was left behind. You're also Malik's distant cousin, so come with me. ”
Abdul hurriedly asked: "Elder, I have two friends who have come to travel, and they have always wanted to witness the sky burial in our Mingsha Town, can you see if you can ......?"
"Bastard!"
Bai Xiding's eyes suddenly widened, and he said angrily: "Have you forgotten the punishment we received last time when the people in the town fled en masse? ”
"Heavenly burials can only be watched by the elders of the town and the head of the deceased family, which is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years!"
"Last time, because someone in the town was bought, I brought some scientific expedition team up the mountain, and as a result, I stole the statue of the god of yin eating!"
"Then it rained sand! The sandstorm swallowed up the remaining half of the oasis, and the road signs to Mingsha Mountain were all buried by the wind and sand! ”
"Now in the entire town, no one can find the location of Mingsha Mountain except me!"
"Why did the god of yin eat rain and sand just don't want strangers to pass, don't you even understand this!?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but look gloomy.
If I really can't do it, even if I force it with a knife, I'll have to ask Bai Xiding to take us there.
Abdul put it next to Bai Xidin's ear, lowered his voice and said: "In order to see this heavenly burial, he gave me 800,000 yuan, and I can give you the old 500,000." ”
"Don't forget, the sand gold in Mingsha Town is getting less and less, and with your old savings, buying women and tobacco can't withstand the consumption for long......"
Bai Xiding's face was cloudy for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "That's not good!" I'm not kidding with my own life with the whole town! ”
"Don't forget, how did those who betrayed the Yin-eating God die!"
At this moment, Qin Lan ran in from the camel shed, "Master, everything is tied to the camel, when are we leaving?" ”
When he saw Qin Lan, Bai Xiding's cloudy old eyes swelled with strange light, and he stared straight at Qin Lan without restraint.
Qin Lan glared at him in disgust, then stood behind me and asked in a low voice, "Who is this disgusting old man?" ”
Bai Xiding cleared his voice, leaned down happily and asked, "How old is the little girl?" ”
I stopped Qin Lan behind me and said coldly: "She is sixteen years old this year, and she is the one I brought. ”
Bai Xiding was displeased, "What are you doing?" ”
"Merchant."
"It's easy to be a businessman." Bai Xiding skimmed the bulging sleeping bag behind me and asked with a straight face, "What's in it?" ”
"Goods."
"What goods, open it and take a look!"
I stood in front of my sleeping bag, staring coldly at Bai Xiding, silent.
Abdul cried and said, "Big brother, just open the sleeping bag and show it to the elders." As long as you do business in Mingsha Town, it's all this rule! ”
In order not to arouse Bai Xiding's vigilance, I could only open the sleeping bag, revealing Qin Yin who was sleeping inside.
When he saw Qin Yin, Bai Xiding's eyes were full of lustful light.
This gaze made Qin Lan particularly disgusted, so he pulled the sleeping bag back on.
Bai Xiding grinned: "Mingsha Mountain Heavenly Burial, many reporters have spent a lot of money to watch the shooting, but I have refused." ”
"You give a mere 800,000 yuan, which is not enough for me to risk my life to take you to Mingsha Mountain."
Looking at his expression, there is obviously room for maneuver.
I asked, "What more do you want?" ”
Bai Xiding pointed at Qin Lan unabashedly: "This woman accompanies me once, the woman in the sleeping bag, send me!" ”
A touch of gloom flashed on Qin Lanqiao's face, but it was quickly disguised.
"Okay, as long as you can take my master to Mingsha Mountain, I will listen to you how to deal with it when I come back."
"This little girl is so obedient."
The folds on Bai Xiding's face were stacked together, and he smiled very obscenely.
Qin Lan also smiled like a flower, but the murderous intent quietly appeared in his eyes.
By the time he said this, he had already pronounced his own sentence of death, and he needed only a little help from me......
I said calmly: "If you can take me to Mingsha Mountain, I can promise you this condition." ”
"The young man is magnificent, this is the person who does business."
Bai Xiding smiled and nodded at me, and the matter was settled.
……
In order not to attract Bai Xiding's attention, I tied Mo Ruchu to the camel as a cargo, and carried the sleeping bag containing Qin Yin's body behind me.
