At this time, all of us were almost frozen, and we shivered and took out a few cans of solid alcohol from our backpacks, set up an alcohol stove, filled a pot of ice and snow from the outside, threw in old ginger and chocolate, and after boiling it, we each drank a large cup of stomach, and then we felt saved.

With a sigh of relief, the old knife asked Tenzin Kava the question again: "How did Farrado become a monster?" ”

I beckoned the old knife to hand me the steel teapot in his hand, and I poured the last bite of chocolate ginger soup into my stomach, and then wiped my mouth and said to everyone:

"Do you remember the weird murals we saw in the Borobudur Tower, and later on the cave walls? It depicts an evil method that transforms humans into black ruba snakes, in which the female chief, who first became a black ruba snake, is carried by the tribesmen into the mouth of the giant snake before it changes......"

Everyone looked at memories, and then nodded their heads.

I continued, "The key may be the venom sprayed in Farado's face. I had already suspected that that kind of venom contained worm Gu similar to the Gu in the Southern Xinjiang Gu Technique, and Farador's entire face was corroded through by the venom, and the corpse must be full of Gu worms. And Luo Bu was also poisoned by the Gu Gu, but the Gu worms were all forced out by the jade shavings of Azure Yulu. ”

Everyone remembered the centipede-like poisonous insects that Luo Bu spit out at that time, and they all felt terrible.

The blizzard stopped at dawn, and then in the first morning light, we climbed up to the ridge and looked into the distance, only to realize that we had crossed the entire Dhaulagiri to the backside, and in front of us was a huge ice sheet from under which we had climbed up the previous night.

Our eyes wandered over the huge ice sheet that was more than a dozen kilometers wide, trying to find the location of the temple of Somol that Farrado had mentioned, but unfortunately, the entire snow-white ice sheet was as flat as a windless lake, and there was no trace of man-made structures except for countless glacial crevasses that looked like fine lines.

Could it be that the glacier is so thick that it completely freezes the temple of Somol underneath?

It is indeed possible, because when we were under the glacier, we saw with our own eyes that the thickness of the glacier was at least more than two hundred meters, which is almost 70 stories high, and the temple of Somol may not be so high.

I asked John if he could lead us on the search for the other ruins of the Land of Heaven and Sea if we couldn't find the Temple of Somol.

John shook his head and said, "Mr. Ji, I very much hope that I can help, but I don't know much information...... Farador only told me that another map could be found in the Temple of Somol that showed the way to enter the Land of Heaven and Sea. ”

Tenzin Kava and I looked at each other, both helpless.

Suddenly, someone said, "Sunrise." ”

The mountains in the distance rose and fell like the silhouette of the sky, and at this time there was a burst of red light along the surface line, and then, a round of rising sun showed half of his face.

Suddenly, the clear blue sky and snow-capped peaks were illuminated by a thousand golden lights, and we raised our hands to prevent our eyes from being burned by the sun, but the scenery before us was magnificent and refreshing.

"Yoshimitsu, look back—"

I was watching the sunrise scene and was fascinated, Shen Tangzhi suddenly pulled my sleeve, I looked back, only to see that the towering peak of Daulagiri Peak behind me was illuminated by the golden sunlight, reflecting a rainbow-like halo of light, constantly spreading outward.

"It's ...... Golden-topped Buddha light! ”

Yali suddenly became agitated, and he fell to his knees towards the miraculous peak of Dhaulagiri, and reverently performed the five-body prostration.

Gyalje, Poche, and even Tenzin Kawa all knelt down like Yali and made a big bow with meticulous care.

"What are they doing? What is there to worship in the mountains? Old Knife didn't understand what the Sherpas were doing, and not only him, but also Hyde and John were puzzled.

"Don't talk nonsense, in the eyes of the people in Tibet, this golden-topped Buddha light is an extremely sacred miracle, indicating good luck and auspiciousness——"

As I was talking, Shen Tangzhi suddenly tugged at my sleeve again: "Look, what is that?!" ”

Shen Tangzhi is a person who can hide his emotions very well, and it is rare for him to speak in such a shocked tone, and when I looked up, I was speechless in surprise.

I saw that on the top of Dhaurajiri Peak, which was bathed in sunlight, a pure golden light suddenly reflected, like a searchlight in the night, projecting down on the ice sheet behind us—

The area of the ice sheet shrouded in golden light was faintly revealing a colorful dazzling!

John couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God! That's the Temple of Somol! That's the Temple of Somol! ”

His face was full of surprise, and he knelt on the snow excitedly, constantly drawing a cross on his chest, repeating the phrase "God forbid".

We hurriedly asked him what was going on, and John blushed with excitement: "Farado said that the ancient map showed the statue of the Temple of Somol, and on the top of that temple, there was a huge gem embedded in it—that was the glitter of the gem!" ”

We were almost desperate before, but we didn't expect that another village would be sent by a ghost to find the location of the temple of Somol.

At the same time, we were also amazed at the wisdom of the ancestors of the ancient kingdom of Somer, who knew how to use the rare golden-domed Buddha light from the towering Dhaurajiri Peak to envelop the temple in the glorious light of the Buddha.

If we had come here before this temple was covered by glaciers, what a magnificent man-made miracle would it be?

Without further ado, we took note of the location of the temple and began to walk through the ice sheet – unlike the glacial lakes we had passed by, we knew that the glacier below showed no signs of melting, and was so strong that we only had to be careful about falling into the ice crevices without worrying about the ice sheet collapsing.

Jiajie said that since he met us, he has witnessed the miracle of the golden Buddha light twice, and in his previous 27 years of life, he was only fortunate to see the golden Buddha light twice, and along the way, only the four of us were in danger, which shows that the four of us have the blessing of the Buddha, and only then did we show miracles twice.

I glanced at Tenzin Kava, who seemed to have great confidence in Gyalje's loyalty, and there was no trace of displeasure on his face.

And the old knife was concerned about the "jewel" on the top of the temple of Somol, and kept asking John for details, but unfortunately the latter had not even seen the ancient map, so naturally he could not provide any useful clues.

As we approached the temple of Somol, we had already spotted three giant black ruba snakes frozen in the glacier, all of which were located on the edge of the glacier crevices, hovering on the ground, arching their heads, exactly like the one we first found.

The old knife looked at the giant black ruba snake in the transparent ice, and urged us to go down to see if the snake also had a piece of azure jade dew in its mouth.

I said that even if there were, first, we might all fall to death in the process of lying down on the ice crevice, and second, the magical "four backfire powder" was only half a cowhide bag, and it was sure that it was enough or not.

Seeing that what I said was reasonable, the old knife sighed and took away the money obsession.

Shen Tangzhi analyzed that according to the content of the murals we saw before, the first generation of the ancient king of Somer is likely to be the female tribal leader who turned into a giant snake in the mural, and their tribe gradually grew until the legendary Somer Kingdom was formed after swearing allegiance to the country of Tianhai.

The giant black ruba snakes that have frozen under the glacier are most likely the kings of the Somole kingdom - or at least the royal family.

On the other hand, the temple of Somol, which they guard, must contain extremely important artifacts.

"But it can't be the jewel on top of the temple." Shen Tangzhi finally added, and glanced at the old knife as he spoke, choking the old knife enough.

It took us half a day before we finally arrived at the location of the Somol Temple.

At this time, the sun hung above our heads, and there was a faint glint of light under the ice, and a rainbow danced in the ice......

Near the place of this light, we found a crack in the ice several meters wide, about a hundred meters deep under the ice crevice, and a touch of black could be directly seen, which should be the top of the temple.

We decided to go down from here, break through the roof of the temple, and enter the temple.

Again, we had our ropes ready, but this time, we had made a sturdy pile on the ice sheet with four backfire powders, and the safety rope was tied to the pile point, so our safety was greatly increased.

After about half an hour, we all went down to the bottom of the ice.

The roof of the temple was covered with a huge black tile, each of which was the size of one of us lying down and opening our limbs, and the surface of the tile even shone as if it had been coated with a layer of clear oil.

The old knife looked at it, patted his leg and said: "It's broken, this tile looks like it was made of black iron, if this thing is thick enough, an anti-tank shell may not be able to penetrate it, just these ice axes in our hands, we can only stare dryly." ”

Tenzin Kawa shook his head and said, "No, this is a black gold clay tile. ”

Tenzin Kawa said that the Himalayas were once oceans tens of billions of years ago, so there are huge coal resources in them, and people living in Tibetan areas can often find bare black soil on the cliffs of high mountains where avalanches have occurred.

With a little refining, this clay can be directly made into clay briquettes, which is an excellent fuel. If it is used to fire pottery, although it is extremely rough, it is extremely hard and solid, and it will not be damaged even if it is knocked to the ground.

The black tiles in front of us may have been fired from black gold clay with a high carbon content, so the color is black and shiny and oily.

The top of the temple was a circular spire, and the position we were in was relatively close to the eaves, and the temple top jewel that the old knife had in mind was about dozens of meters away from us, and it was frozen in a huge layer of ice, and it was impossible to get it.

The spearhead of the excavation is still the Four Backfire Powder, which melts the top layer of ice, which is as strong as steel, and then uses an ice axe and an ice pick.

But the hardness of the black gold clay tile is beyond our imagination, the old knife scolded us several people in turn, actually chiseled for a full twenty minutes, will directly break the black gold clay tile, remove the tile, suddenly there is a faint fragrance wafting, we are worried about poison, have held our breath.

Under the black gold clay tile is a wooden roof, and the keel of the square wood is extremely tightly assembled, and the diameter of the wood is more than one meter, which can be called a giant wood.

Tenzin Kava looked at the wood and told us not to be nervous, and he said it was the wood of the Sara Iron Tree.

The sora tree is actually the sora tree, which is widely distributed in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, and the trees are rich in resin and have persistence - the dipterocarp oil that is often burned in Hindu ceremonies is actually the resin of the sora tree, which is used as incense.

The higher the altitude, the tighter the wood of the sora tree, and the longer the maturity time, until it reaches the alpine region above 4,000 meters, it is called the sara.

Tenzin Kawa concluded: "These sora iron trees are probably thousands of years old wood, and they are priceless treasures to carry one down the mountain at will. The problem is that the wood of the Sara Iron Tree is so strong that we may have to work a little harder. ”

The old knife said with disdain: "Dead Brain Sutra, why bother to break the wood, can't we just pry it open?" It's not the main beam, the beams are all made of short material, we dig on both sides, how long can this wood be? ”

Tenzin Kawa sneered: "The height of the Sara Iron Tree can reach more than 50 meters, and these square wooden beams will definitely not be spliced short material. ”

"What then?"

I chimed in, "Why don't you use fire." ”

Since the resin content of this sarairon tree is so high that it is even used by Hindus as an oil crop, it must be very flammable.

We had some solid fuel left, so we burned two beams with it, and the ice axes were used to widen it into a hole that allowed us to enter the temple.

We used the light to shine, only to see that the internal space of the temple is very large, majestic and empty no less than any palace in the world, although there is no magnificence of carved beams and paintings, but there is a solemn and solemn momentum.

Where we are, on top of an altar, in the middle of the temple opposite the altar, there is a huge sarcophagus, and on both sides of the sarcophagus, more than a dozen huge humanoid statues made of unknown black metal, arched layer by layer.

We slid down a stone pillar with two people hugging each other, and slid down from the beam more than 30 meters high, only to find that it was not an altar, but an execution platform.

Originally, we thought that the iron frames placed on both sides of the square platform were all magic weapons, but at this time, we saw that the iron frames were full of various special-shaped torture instruments, and the specifications were larger than the commonly used.

On the back side of the square platform, there is a one-meter-square hole, which shines down with a strong flashlight, and I see that there is an inclined passage in the middle of the hole, and the surface of the passage is black and a little reflective.
