The next day, when I woke up, the sky was clear outside the window, and the blue sky seemed to have been decorated with a colored pen in the painter's hand.

After eating breakfast, when I, Uncle Jiu, and the fat man were about to sneak into the secret room as promised, the ghost offered to accompany us down to the secret room, "Ah Wang!" Last night, the fat man told me about your experience in the past two months, including the story of you and Yanyu, and I should do my part for you to help you find Yanyu. ”

The ghost's kindness was hard to resist, so I chose to be silent and thanked me with a hug, at which point Lan Xin opened our door, pulled me to the side and said, "I know about your night visit to the ancient monuments last night, and the secret room you are going to secretly, I will accompany you down to have a look." ”

"How do you know?" I was amazed.

"Don't forget, I can follow you and spy on you quietly." Lanxin smiled confidently.

Well, I admit that Lan Xin, this little girl, does have this ability, which is understandable, but I insist on disagreeing with Lan Xin to go down to the secret room together, after all, the smaller the movement of this kind of thing, the better it is for us, and it is not clear what the situation is under the secret room, who knows if there is any danger, so I refused.

"I'm not here to discuss with you, I'm just here to inform you, and besides, you're not the captain, so I don't need to listen to you." Lan Xin was very dissatisfied with my decision, "Besides, I can't rest assured of you, after all, ...... that night" Lan Xin stopped halfway through his words.

Listening to Lan Xin's words seems to have content, which reminds me of the night when we first arrived in Lhasa, I was drunk and was helped back to my room at Uncle Wang's house. Then wouldn't it be Lan Xin who I kissed that night, when I thought of this, I asked a little weakly, "After all, what was that night?" ”

"It's nothing" Lan Xin deliberately avoided it, and changed the topic, "Don't forget, I'm out to handle the case this time, and the secret room is also within the scope of my case, do you want to obstruct official business?" ”

"You're abusing your private rights," I disagreed.

Lan Xin threw down a sentence "Whatever you say, anyway, I have made up my mind in this secret room" and then turned around and left, going back to prepare things. In this way, I was powerlessly suppressed by Lanxin's private rights and had no choice but to compromise.

When I was waiting for Lan Xin to come back with us, I still couldn't untie the knot of the woman in white on the rooftop last night, so I asked Uncle Nine to consult if there was any disease about premature aging, and told Uncle Nine about the woman's youth and decay, and asked him if it was possible that the woman in white was Yanyu?

"Impossible!" Uncle Nine was determined.

"What's the explanation?" I asked.

"Nephew, you also know that Yanyu is not an ordinary person, although I can't be sure what she is yet, but she is nothing more than a creature other than humans, so she is not easy to age.

And even aging has to be a thousand years long, but I have fought with Yanyu, she only has superhuman power and a little spiritual power, and she does not have a thousand years of cultivation, and there is another point, even if she is old, it is impossible to be as old as you described. Uncle Nine's tone was affirmative, and every sentence was like cold water pouring me from head to toe, which made my heart completely cold, and I only felt that the smoke and rain that were close at hand were far away from the cliff.

In fact, if you think about it, as Nini said, Uncle Rong is a thousand-year-old demon, but he doesn't look as old as the woman in white.

After a while, when Lan Xin came to meet us, he also brought Xiao Jing and Yanzi, and the equipment of the three women was neatly packed, and it seemed that they were going to go down to the secret room together.

Seeing this, I hurriedly said, "Why is this?" When it comes to sightseeing, it's also a group, right? ”

Seeing this, the fat man couldn't be silent, and said, "Xiaojing, what are you doing here?" And approached Xiao Jing and continued, "Ngawang is right, we are not going on a sightseeing tour, so don't follow along to join in the fun, okay?" The fat man's tone was very gentle, and he didn't have the usual attitude of being higher than the sky.

"Do you still want to be with me, and do you want to have the opportunity to pursue me?" Listening to Xiaojing's tone, there was a threatening component.

"Of course!" The fat man immediately succumbed.

Looking at the fat man's obedience to Xiao Jing, I came to the fire, thinking that this birdman's attitude is so unfirm, is this fucking a joke, what is hidden in this secret room, each of us has no number in our hearts, if something happens to these three women, who will be responsible?

"No! You and the swallow can't go down to the secret room. I insisted on my attitude and pointed to Xiao Jing and Yanzi and said.

"Why, you're not the captain, why should we listen to you." Xiao Jing retorted.

And I never thought that two months ago I was obedient to me, gentle as water Xiao Jing now has such an attitude towards me, this contrast really makes me very uncomfortable, think about it is also I deserve it, hesitate emotionally, and it is only at dusk that Xiao Jing has today's attitude.

I was embarrassed, speechless, feeling that I was very shameless, and at the same time secretly decided that if there was a next expedition like this, I must first elect a captain, who could control the power at a critical moment, and it was not difficult to make such a mess, I would rather act alone.

The fat man knew that I used to be a class president in college and had always been at the helm, and when he saw my embarrassment, in order to save my face, he deliberately coughed twice to suggest that Xiao Jing should not say more.

Just as we were still wondering if such a group of people could go down to the secret room, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed in, and it was the little lama who had brought us to the room earlier.

When the little lama saw that all of us were there, and we all had big bags, he was stunned for a moment, and then said after half a sound, "I will be blunt when you are all there, Wu Nian, because you were rude to our miscellaneous female layman many times last night, so we respect the wishes of the female layman, and want to ask you to leave and not live here anymore." ”

Suddenly, everyone cast strange eyes at me, especially Lan Xin and Yanzi were eager to arrest me immediately and torture me.

On the way out of the monument, we secretly turned in the direction of the secret room, and on the way, everyone kept holding on to my rude question about the woman in white, which made me also dumb and eat coptis-I can't say what I suffered.

According to last night's route, everyone sneaked into the forbidden place, and after arriving at the secret room, the fat man and I let the wind out, and the rest of the mermaids rushed in.

After getting out of the secret room, a stone door blocked the way, and it was quickly seen under the light pillar of the wolf's eye flashlight that it was a mechanism door, more than two meters high and one meter wide.

After activating the mechanism, Shimen didn't react, and after everyone waited for a long time, the fat man became impatient, and scolded "you fuck" and stepped forward with two big feet.

After the fat man's two feet, "Long~!" Immediately afterwards, the stone door slowly moved away with a dull rumbling sound, and some gravel and dust would fall from the top of the head from time to time, which showed that the stone door of this secret room had not been moved for a long time.

After the stone door was fully opened, a cool wind struck, only felt the yin qi bursts, the dark road was secluded, everyone brushed a few wolf eyes to the dark road that could not see the five fingers, only to see the dark road on all sides, empty and damp, walking in it, feeling that there was a cold wind blowing on the face from time to time, which shows that the air in the passage of this secret room is circulating.

The whole secret room passage is silent, and empty, except for the granite stone wall, not even a ghost is seen, the passage is dozens of meters long, the ear echoes our footsteps, this situation reminds me of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Nanzhao Tomb, the tomb of those difficult tomb monkeys and the mysterious water monkeys, the strange faces are still vivid, which makes me feel nervous, thinking don't meet any monsters that I don't know.

But then again, even if you meet it, you don't have to worry too much, after all, there are a lot of us, plus the ghost's sharpshooter, and the swallow's marksmanship is also a hundred steps through the yang, and the prey or something is more than enough, and the ghost sent Lan Xin and Yan a desert * eagle that he bought from the black market when he went down to the secret room, speaking of this desert * eagle I am very depressed, the desert * eagle that I snatched from the kuishou last time let Lan Xin confiscate.

As I walked along with the procession and was thinking in my head, there was a sudden noise in front of me, like the sound of something rubbing against the ground, and the sound was clear and easy to hear, unhurried, and it sounded like someone was deliberately rubbing his foot against it.

The fat man was the most anxious, and he was the first to run over by the light of the wolf's eye flashlight, and the underground secret room like this was the most hidden and dangerous, so he was not allowed to break away from the team.

We all know this, so as soon as the fat man ran over, all of us followed closely, and when we ran to the place where the sound came, the strange thing was that we didn't see any suspicious creatures, and the secret passage was still empty, but the sound just now was really loud, which undoubtedly added to the weirdness and gloom of the secret room, and also made my heart hang.

Soon the fat man found a hole, and the fat man looked at me, seeing that it meant that he wanted to get through, and I immediately stopped it, "Wait, don't panic yet, I don't know what is going on inside." ”

"What are you afraid of, there are a lot of us, and what are we doing when we come down to the secret room, aren't we here to explore the secrets?" said the fat man, and prepared to get into it again.

I said, "Have you forgotten the last time I was attacked by a monkey in the cave of the tomb of Nanzhao?" Let's take a long view. ”

Under my repeated stopping, the fat man temporarily dispelled the idea of burrowing into the ground, but the dead fat man still couldn't help his curiosity, and kept using the wolf's eye flashlight to explore the situation in the cave.

I also wondered why there was a hole here, seeing Uncle Nine surveying the terrain on the side, I first looked at the perimeter of the cave with wolf eyes, except for some scattered gravel on the edge of the hole, the surrounding area is intact granite, I grabbed a small handful of gravel with my hand and rubbed it in the palm of my hand, and found some black powder, I sniffed it with my nose, a smell of gunpowder, the ghost stayed in the army for a long time and knew more about this I let him smell it, and he insisted that it was gunpowder.

That means the hole was burst with gunpowder, but it's strange who did it, and could the sound we just heard have something to do with it? It seems that the hole exploded long before we went down to the vault, as we didn't hear the explosion beforehand. ”

The fat man, who had been squatting at the entrance of the cave to check the situation, suddenly said, "Look at the other side of the cave, there seems to be something. ”

As soon as the fat man said this, I also leaned over curiously and looked at it with the wolf's eyes, although the range of the wolf's eyes was 300 meters, but it was only that the range of the beam was so far, and in fact, the clarity of the illumination was within a hundred meters, and the person's line of sight was limited, so there was only light a hundred meters away, and an object could not be seen clearly.

I saw that there were indeed vague and golden things on the other side of the dozens of meters long straight hole, and I couldn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time, which made my curiosity instantly aroused.

After everyone discussed, or decided to go in to find out, out of the last Nanzhao tomb lesson, I don't want to be at the bottom, but the first to crawl over, out of the hole, I counted the number of people one by one, all the people came out, only the fat man was left, I used the wolf's eyes to look in to see what the situation was, only to see the fat man turn his head back in place.

"Fatty, what about you, come over quickly." I shouted impatiently.

The fat man turned his head back, and when he crawled towards me, he replied, "Ah Wang, you help me watch the point, how do I always feel that something is following me." ”

As soon as the fat man said this, I immediately became vigilant, and looked carefully behind the fat man with a flashlight, but I didn't see anything, "Fat man, don't be suspicious, there is no ghost behind you." ”

Just as I finished speaking, I saw a pale and pale thing at the end of the pillar of light, like a bloodless face, staring at me with a pair of black eyes, smiling darkly, and suddenly my scalp was numb, and goosebumps all over my body couldn't help but rise.

At this time, the fat man just crawled out of the hole and blocked my vision, and when my vision was restored, the cave was already empty.

"Let's go, what's the fuss?" After the fat man got up, he saw me squatting at the entrance of the cave and patted me, because I was not sure if the face just now was an illusion, so I didn't tell everyone, so as not to increase everyone's fear, but I was uneasy in my heart, and I have been entangled in what the face was just now.

We went straight to the shining thing under the pillar of light, walked to the front to recognize that it was a few towers, I looked at these towers that are only about two meters high, there are five towers, each divided into gold, silver, copper, and wood and clay, the shape of the tower is a unique feature of Tibet, the whole tower gives me the feeling of Tang Xuanzang on the top of the hat, and then throw away some details, leaving only a drum on a hovering optimus prime.

I looked at these towers for a long time and didn't see anything special.

"It's a tower burial!" The fat man said suddenly.

"What? What kind of tower burial?" I asked.

The fat man went on to say, "There are five kinds of Buddhist funerals in Tibet, in addition to the burial and cremation like the usual burial and cremation of our Han people, that is, tower burial, water burial and sky burial. ”

"There are two main forms of water burial, one is to throw the whole body into the river, generally two people are buried, immediately after the death of a person on the waist of a knife, and then the head and feet are stacked and tied. Put the person in his back pocket, put a black cloth on his mouth, and throw it into the river by one person on his back on the same day.

The second is to dismember the body and throw it into the river. ”

Then there is the sky burial, which is called "Chado" in Tibet, which is used to feed the vultures (one of the varieties of carving), and there are fixed sky burial sites in various places.

The burial method is to rest the mortuary for a few days after death, and ask the lama to recite the sutra and choose a day for burial. The funeral is generally very early, there is a special person to send the body to the burial ground, the funeral person first burns incense to the gods, the vulture sees the fireworks and gathers around the burial ground, then the funeral master immediately strips the corpse clothes, dismemberes the corpse according to a certain procedure, and strips the flesh and bones. The bones of the corpses are crushed with stones and mixed with a rake, a special Tibetan dough made mainly from fried noodles and ghee.

The flesh of the corpse is cut into small pieces and set aside, and finally, the priest calls the vultures with a whistle and feeds them in order of bone and flesh until they are devoured. ”

When the fat man said this, my scalp was numb when I heard it, and a shiver couldn't help but run through my whole body.

Xiao Jing and Yanzi were probably frightened, and they both said, "Dead fat!" Don't talk about it, weird. Saying that, the two couldn't help but rub their arms together, and they didn't know if they were cold or scared.

"Hey! It's okay, it's okay! Fatty, you go on, that's it for a short time. "I couldn't help but be curious, so I asked the fat man to continue.

The fat man looked at everyone and found that except for Xiao Jing and Yanzi who showed fear, the rest of the people were curious, so he said, "I simply say, because the next thing I will talk about is the tower burial." ”

The fat man touched the tower next to him as he spoke, "And the tower burial is more advanced, and the Tibetan living Buddha basically implements the tower burial." Some living Buddhas are cremated and their ashes are stored in the spiritual pagoda, and some living Buddhas are directly clay into Buddha statues after their bodies are dehydrated.

After the death of the famous living Buddha, the body is wiped with salt and dehydrated, and then coated with spices and other valuable medicines, wrapped the whole body with silk and hemp, and buried in the tower for permanent preservation.

These pagodas are divided into gold, silver, copper, wood, and mud, depending on the status of the living Buddha. For example, after the Dalai Lama and Panchen Lama passed away, they should build the Golden Spirit Pagoda. ”

After the fat man finished speaking, he said to me proudly, "Little Wangwang, how about it, you don't understand this aspect." ”

I give a thumbs up.

At this time, the fat man confidently added: "And I conclude that there must be a clay statue made of corpses in it." ”

I curiously found the window of a golden pagoda, and shone it inside with a wolf's eye flashlight, and it was really as the fat man said, only to see a dry flat figure sitting like a Zen meditation, wrapped in a silk ribbon, only revealing a skinny head, although the head has been seriously shrunk, but I still recognize at a glance that this face is the little lama who led us to the rest room of the monument that day, and suddenly my spine was cold, and my scalp was numb, this is too fucking evil.

Seeing this, I immediately looked at the rest of the silver, copper, wood, mud and other corpses in the tower, all of which were the little lamas I had seen in the monuments, and suddenly a strange mystery surrounded me.

The fat man saw that my expression was wrong, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Am I guessing wrong? ”

I shook my head and said, "See for yourselves." ”

After everyone saw it, none of them had a good face, and their expressions were more exaggerated than the other, and Yanzi and Xiaojing screamed directly after seeing it, including Uncle Jiu, Fatty, Ghost and Hexin, all of whom had questions written on their faces.

"Uncle Nine, you said that the little lamas we saw in the ancient monuments before wouldn't all be ghosts, right?" I immediately consulted Uncle Nine.

Uncle Nine was also confused and said, "It shouldn't be, but none of the demons and monsters can pass my level." ”

"Otherwise, how can this be explained?" I asked, pointing to the tower.

Uncle Jiu frowned, paused for a moment and said, "I can't say it either, I guess it has something to do with the lingering breath in this monument." ”

And just when the crowd gathered around to discuss the strangeness of the tower burial, the swallow seemed to be frightened by something, "Ah! ——" screamed.

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.

The expression of the swallow under the pillar of light was extremely frightened, and the cold sweat beads on her forehead could be seen on her pale complexion, "I...... I just seem to have seen ...... I saw a child running over. ”

"What?" When I heard this, my heart groaned.

"Where's the kid? You read that right? The fat man shone his flashlight around.

Before the swallow could speak, the sound of footsteps we had heard before came to our ears faintly from the passage on the side......
