Volume 3 The Silver City of the Dome Chapter 7 The Garuda Goldfinch Bird

We walked to the edge of the steep cliff and looked down, only to see that this cliff was between two peaks, the frozen stone wall was extremely smooth, and there were no plants on the snow-capped mountain, the height of this cliff was not less than thirty zhang, and even the hunter was born on Tuesday Mao shook his head and said that he could not climb down.

We were at a loss when we stood on the edge of the cliff, and I kept thinking to myself that although we couldn't walk on the stone wall like my uncle and them, the candle dragon could go down, and there must be a way to go down.

I followed the path of the candle dragon's crawling, and saw that the traces in the snow had lost their traces when they reached the cliff, and we were standing not far from the candle dragon.

Suddenly, something on a protruding stone on the cliff caught my attention, it was supposed to be a piece of cloth, a corner of the clothes of the Tibetan who had been taken by the candle dragon.

There are faint traces of crawling under the abrupt rock, and if you can descend to the abrupt rock, you may find the way down.

I decided to go down and find out, our rope is probably not very far from the abrupt rock, jumping into the snow, I shouldn't fall and hurt, I told Tuesday Mao my idea.

When Mao heard that I was going down on Tuesday, he immediately stopped me and said: "It's more appropriate for me to go to this kind of thing, you wait for me above, if there is anything to be found below, it's not too late for you to come down again." ”

I said, "Be careful with the candle dragon below!" ”

Tuesday Mao pretended to be disdainful and said: "I can eat Lao Tzu's wild things, I'm afraid I haven't given birth yet!" ”

So Tuesday Mao couldn't help but tie the rope to himself, and we all pulled the rope, and Tuesday Mao descended down the cliff to the bottom.

We nervously held our guns on it, for fear that the candle dragon would come out of nowhere.

When Tuesday Mao descended to a height of about five meters from the stone, the rope was no longer enough, Tuesday Mao untied the rope, jumped down, and landed firmly on the stone protruding from the cliff!

We relaxed a little, and on Tuesday Mao stepped on the stone, and felt that the stone was still very strong, so he went out to see what was going on.

On Tuesday, as soon as Mao poked his head out, suddenly there was an oops, and we were also startled on it. I saw Tuesday Mao pull up a blood-stained Tibetan robe from under the stone and come up. I think it was the clothes of the Tibetan who was caught by the candle dragon just now, and it is estimated that they were caught and torn off by the stone when they passed over the rock.

I shouted at Ermao, "Ermao, do you want us to come down?" ”

Tuesday Mao waved his hand and said, "Wait, I'll take a look." ”

On Tuesday, Mao probed his head again, and then turned his head back excitedly and shouted: "Yes!" You can come down, you should be able to slide down here. The dragon probably slipped down from here! ”

We were overjoyed, and we all descended down the rope to the stone, and then we saw that the bottom of the big stone was relatively flat, and there were still stains of blood on the snow.

We tumbled down the rocks, and then we slid down the ice and snow walls, and the snow was so thick in the cliffs that we slid all the way down without injury, and we came to the bottom of the valley safely.

The bottom of the valley was very long, and we walked deep and shallow in the snow towards the stone pillar.

We were also terrified along the way, and we all knew that this candle dragon might be around here, and if we alarmed it, it was not a joke.

When we approached the stone pillar, we saw that the stone pillar was so thick that three people hugged each other, and there were all kinds of trees, birds, sheep and other things carved on it, and we cleaned up the snow on the stone pillar, only to see that the pillar was deep in the snow, and the top of the pillar was a big bird with horns, but like an eagle, waving its wings, lifelike.

Baynt looked at the strange bird and said, "This is a bit like the Garuda Goldfinch in India, this bird is the mount of Vishnu, and it is a kind of sacred bird. That is, what you Chinese call the Dapeng bird. ”

I suddenly realized, "I've heard of this thing, is it the thing that eats five hundred dragons a day?" ”

Liam, Baient, and others didn't seem to have heard of this legend, and said, "Five hundred dragons a day, how big is that bird?" ”

The Tibetan guide of Baiente, named Pasang, said: "This is not very similar to the Dapeng bird seen on the murals in our temple!" ”

Baynt explained: "The statues of each period have the characteristics of each period, just like the dragons and phoenixes painted by you Chinese, from your ancient times to your present, haven't they changed many times. This is supposed to be the image of the golden-winged bird of the Zhangzhung Kingdom at that time. ”

This explanation is still quite reasonable, I think of the dragon climbing and walking dragon patterns we saw in those Qin people gathering platforms in our mountainous areas, and then to the majestic posture of opening teeth and claws and commanding the wind and clouds, which have also undergone too many changes in the past two thousand years.

There is such a big stone pillar, which proves that there should be an entrance here, but we looked around and didn't find any suspicious entrance, this stone pillar can't be placed here alone, but there is no way to find a door in the whole valley.

At this moment, the guide Basang suddenly screamed: "That monster, that monster is here again!" ”

We hurriedly turned around, only to see another bulge in the snow in the distance, swimming towards us.

We were more prepared this time, they jumped to the back of the stone pillar, and then the rifle pistol beckoned into the snow, for a while the valley was full of gunfire, the candle dragon was in pain in the snow, it probably didn't expect the weapon in our hands to be so powerful, the candle dragon rose from the snow, screamed, ready to turn around and escape, where are we willing to let go, chasing this guy and another fierce shot.

We all thought we could kill this monster in the valley, but suddenly this creature went straight to a snowdrift under a mountain wall, and suddenly disappeared!

We were amazed, how can we say that such a big thing is gone? We cautiously approached the snowdrift with our guns in hand.

I poked my bayonet in the snow a few times, and the bayonet and the synchronous gun actually sank deep into the snow. I wondered, is it empty underneath?

We hurriedly dug up the snow, only to see a large hole suddenly revealed in a pile of rubble.

It turned out that this large hole was covered by rocks on it, and the snow was covered with snow, and the candle dragon must have taken refuge in this hole.

We took the flashlight and looked into the hole, only to see that the hole was tilted downward, and there were a lot of messy stone carvings, railings and other things in it, and there were fresh blood stains along the way, and the candle dragon should have been injured and escaped.

We were overjoyed, but we didn't expect to find an entrance here in a fierce battle with the candle dragon.

The candle dragon had fled without a trace after being hit, and we no longer had to worry about it suddenly attacking us.

Entering the cave, because there is no wind, I feel a lot warmer in an instant, and then we can see the surrounding space, this is a small room, most of the place has been filled with all kinds of rocks, it should be what era has collapsed, we searched in the room for a long time, and there is nothing valuable to find.

We went down a collapsed stone door in the room into the depths of the cave.

I said strangely, "Didn't this Dome Silver City say that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry?" Even if all the gold, silver and jewelry were taken away by Tibet, at least the room should be more luxurious. ”

Baynt was a little excited, and said: "It is estimated that the external structure of this Dome Silver City has collapsed, and it is unknown whether it will be burned down by Tubo, and now in this cave, the Bon sect pays attention to secret cultivation, which may be a secret place for them." ”

We remembered that day by the lake in the canyon, the secret of the Bon religion, and it was too coincidental.

Passing through the stone gate, a creepy scene startled us, only to see the fishy smell in this passage, piled up with the bones and limbs of various animals and other things, it is estimated that there is no one, the candle dragon has used this place as a nest, Basang cried all the way with a sad face, looking for the body of his companion among these bones, but I don't know where to be pulled by the candle dragon.

We pinched our noses and walked through this passage, only to see a stone wall appear in front of us, and the strangest thing was that this stone wall was carved with a lifelike eye!

Thinking of the eyes in the ghost lake, I can't help but feel creepy, is this the totem of the Elephant Male Man?

In the early years, I heard the master say that in ancient times, there was a kind of witchcraft called "Wang", that is, looking at the enemy and destroying it, and the way to counter this witchcraft was to "look back" or "enlightened" to get rid of the power of this hope, is this also a kind of witchcraft worship is not possible?
