Chapter 655: Entering the Formation, the Palace of the Gods
It is said that in ancient India, this so-called Dong rice was the staple food of people, and it is said that evil spirits love to devour, especially those cut into human shapes, and in the eyes of these evil creatures, it is like seeing a living person.
The reason for this, Xiao Shamen said, is that after the evil creatures have lost their humanity, their instinctive thirst for human food can be regarded as a kind of conditioned reflex.
This is completely different from the Celestial Empire.
As I explained earlier, in the Celestial Empire, sneaky people only love fireworks in the world, they feed on popularity and smoke, and have no interest in human food. It seems that eating in India is a top priority, both human and ghostly.
And those white powders are lime, which is said to have the effect of driving away evil spirits, and I have to say that the taste of Indian evil spirits is really heavy!
Everyone was dressed and marched towards the mausoleum under the leadership of Master Warren and the chanting of many monks. The atmosphere at this moment is a little dignified, full of the feeling of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone".
I gave Boss Qin a thumbs up and told him not to worry, but the nervous look on his face was still beyond words.
Although it was noon in broad daylight, the five fingers could not be seen in the Peacock Mausoleum, and as we entered, the temperature began to drop sharply, as if entering a cold winter.
Guru Warren and Kunal opened the way with torches in hand, and the little shaman accompanied the Hima Maiden in the center, and we followed behind, all the way down.
Earlier, I talked about the importance of torches in the catacombs, both for lighting and for determining the direction of air circulation.
And I have the ghost shark scales, which are suspended in the air and produce a much brighter light than two torches, illuminating the surrounding environment.
At first we saw the swarthy walls and the stone steps beneath our feet, which were narrow enough to advance in columns, but the slope was extremely steep and spiraling, and there was no end to the downward spiral, and below there was a chaotic patch.
People can't help but feel frightened, for fear that they will fall into the abyss if they stumble.
No one spoke, Master Warren and Kunal walked very slowly, and they seemed to be quite cautious step by step, Xiao Shamen's expression was solemn, and his little face was pale, obviously nervous.
Only the Hima Lady was unfazed, she walked barefoot and walked without a sound.
We descended for about half an hour, and the scenery changed dramatically. The black stone steps disappeared, and the road and the surrounding walls turned dark red.
Strangely, this dark red doesn't seem to be dead, but breathing! They are slow and heavy together, full of rhythm. When you step on it, it is soft, and you can clearly feel its unique pooling and stickiness.
Looking up, the stone steps that we walked down were high above us, like dense clouds, and like a huge, hideous whirlpool.
Through the bright light of the torches and the ghost shark scales, I saw that the dark red walls under my feet and around me were covered with dense tubes the thickness of Chengren's thighs, which contracted and then relaxed, like blood vessels that had been magnified a thousand times.
It was covered with a thick, mottled blood-soaked film and a large lump of flesh-like stuff, which was extremely disgusting, and gave me the feeling of entering the body of some kind of giant beast, and the feeling of oppression was strong!
The road ahead was potholed, and there was only one, locked in a dense fog of chaos that could not be seen clearly. There was a constant sound of rustling, like a hidden crawler.
Such a strange and strange environment, as long as it is impossible for normal people not to be nervous, my and the fat man, the amorous nerves are tense, the fat man's hand stretches out to the waist, and the amorous rosary is also in his hand, waiting for it.
I took out the Burial Sword from my backpack, the Thousand Year Burial was close to my heart, the black hilt was only held in my hand, and the crimson blade was not revealed.
Guru Warren and his great disciple Kunal, who were walking in front, suddenly stopped and pricked up their ears as if they were listening to something.
I just wanted to ask what kind of place this was, when I heard the Hima Holy Maiden say slowly: "Su Bai, do you want to ask, where is this?" ”
Xiao Ji Xiangtian has the skill of mind reading, and she naturally understands my thoughts.
After a pause, she told us that this place was the "Palace of the Gods."
Ancient Buddhism in India believed that the world was created by the goddess of prosperity, who was formless and incorporeal, and was the source of all things in the universe.
The goddess of prosperity created a total of 190 million gods and evil spirits, of which 100 million were gods and 90 million were evil, and all the gods and ghosts were born from the palace of the gods and came to the world.
To put it simply, this palace of the gods is the child of the goddess of prosperity, and it connects the divine realm, which is the passage between the so-called "heavenly realm" and the human realm in ancient Indian Buddhism.
Whether it is an evil spirit or a god, this is the place where they return to their mother's arms and fall into the work of the goddess of prosperity.
This concept is quite similar to the six realms of reincarnation in Celestial Buddhism, and it should be the result of mutual borrowing and continuous evolution.
The Holy Maiden Hima then explained to us that the significance of the existence of the Yuwang Secret Array is to connect the palace of the gods with the ground, deter and absorb evil spirits, so that they cannot cause harm to the world.
If it is forcibly demolished, it will inevitably cause chaos in Sanhua and shake Zhoutian, and taking away the holy relics is to relocate and change the address, and the effect is completely different.
Xiao Ji Xiangtian was talking, and everyone only heard a creepy scream suddenly sounded in the dense fog in front of them. With the help of the best vision of the Earth's Eye, I saw a humanoid creature emerge from the fog at a rapid pace, screaming and pounced on us......
I was so frightened that I looked at it, and I saw that the whole body of this thing was blood-red, human-shaped, and there were short, hard white hairs on the hands and feet, as if a person had been stripped of his skin, and blood was dripping.
Its head is light, its two eyes are like two black holes, in which there is a sinister and vicious light, a huge mouth grinning to the base of the ear, the mouth is fine, interlaced black fangs, the long tongue is like a letter, and the mouth is salivating.
At this moment, the monster was on all fours, and its hands and feet were close to the ground.
This image is very similar to the ghoul I saw in the Smoke City Fantasy before, but the details are slightly different, I don't know if it's the same species.
"Filthy ghosts!"
Xiao Shamen screamed, the sound like a fingernail rubbing against the glittering glass.
Master Warren reacted very quickly, and before the monster known as the "filthy ghost" rushed forward, he raised his hand and spilled a handful of lime powder from his back bag, covering his head and face, and hitting the monster in front of the door.
The choking smell of lime poured into the nostrils, and the white smoke rose and the black mist rose, and the monster staggered to the ground, screaming and struggling.
And its body was also instantly corroded with thousands of holes, and flashing firelight continued to emerge, and it turned into flying ashes and dissipated in a few seconds......
As the monster died, one heart-rending howl after another began to rise, and the mountains roared like a tsunami from the dense fog ahead, and the ground shook and pierced people's eardrums......
