【Extra】Soul Rejuvenation Incense (M)

"There's an electric wheel here, and when the time comes, he'll pull us up. We don't have much time, only this time is relatively safe, if this point is passed, I will have to wait ten years, I'm afraid I can't wait. Xie lowered his head and packed his bags, I didn't notice that he had already changed his clothes, and he actually dragged out a machine with a huge wheel tied to it with ropes similar to rock climbing protection.

He gave me a set of clothes and a kit. "Put it on, it's easier to move."?

A few minutes later. We're ready to stop. Xie looked at his watch. Then I made a jumping motion. We jumped down together.?

The hole is not deep, but it is more than ten meters, we rely on the rope to slowly row down, but the wall of the cave is very smooth, so we are very uncomfortable, half an hour later we finally stepped on the ground.

We lit the flashlight that we had with us, the kind that we could bite into our mouths. Xie told me that within two hours he could control the wheel to pull us up, and after two hours the wheel would automatically pull us. But it's better to stay in this kind of place less.?

Originally, the entire burial chamber was designed in the shape of an hourglass. But there's a bigger one down there. The light source of the flashlight is not strong, but it can also shine a few meters, and the lower plate is composed of dozens of complete square stone walls. There are strange words and pictures on each stone wall, and I can't understand the words, but the pictures are still roughly understandable. The first one seems to be a monk seated. But in terms of clothing, it does not look like a Chinese. The second is a fox looking at the monk in front of him. The monk was lying on a pile of firewood, and there seemed to be his disciples holding torches next to him. It seems that he was going to be cremated. The third depicts a woman accompanying a king. But the woman's eyes were always fixed on the chest beside the king.

I can't help but ask thanks, what exactly do these murals and words say.?

"These murals tell a complete story of the origin of the incense of rejuvenation." Xie didn't even look at it, and answered me while looking for something on the ground.?

"Oh? Tell me, what does the first pair mean? I asked.?

"It was a monk who was sitting, and then the famous monster Nine-Tailed Fox at that time transformed into a human form and married Bintou Sarah, the son of the Indian king at that time, that is, the high monk, in order to obtain the relics of the monk."

"Son? Does the monk have a son? "I'm confused.?

"Bintou Sara is indeed the son of the high monk, and the monk in the first painting is called Chandragupta, the founder of the Mauryan dynasty and a devout Jain. Jainism is a religion founded by the Buddha in the 6th century B.C., which, like Hinduism and Buddhism, believes in the liberation of the soul, the reincarnation of karma, and advocates non-violence, non-killing, and the accumulation of virtue. When he died, he was fired, leaving behind three things that resembled gems. The nine-tailed fox wanted these three things. And these were given to the sons of Chandragupta for safekeeping. But the Nine-Tails didn't expect that Chandragupta's son was too powerful and recognized its identity, so he drove it out of India. ”?

"Son of Chandragupta? I was confused. ”?

"You must be familiar with him, he is Ashoka." I see.?

"How do you know that?" I asked curiously, I didn't expect him to be able to read Indian characters.

Xie Moran for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "My wife is Indian. And then nothing more. I had to continue looking at the mural, and sure enough, the back depicted the Nine-Tails being driven out of the palace by a heroic young man with a sword. But it seems that it has since moved to another country. And the painting on the back is familiar, because the characters on it are obviously the characters of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China.

One of them is also a king holding a round, transparent object playing with a concubine with the nine-tailed one that officially appears in front of her. And that thing is a lot like the legendary Heshi wall.

"Explain it to me, I don't understand." I had to beg for thanks again.

A high monk in India brought one of the three relics-like treasures to China and asked a famous local jade craftsman to inlay it with a famous piece of jade, which was the Heshi wall. Therefore, the legend and the wall have magical powers, and some people say that those who win the wall win the world. Nine-Tails naturally hit its idea again. However, the war was chaotic, and the Nine-Tails and Jade both disappeared later. Later, one of the three relics was left in India and the other fell into the hands of the Yue clan in the exhibition, and later you also know that Zhang Qian brought them back to Middle Earth, and a piece of India was also brought to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty when Master Xuanzang exchanged Buddhism with India. One piece was later taken to Japan by the monk Jianzhen in 753 during the time of Tang Yanzong, along with the Sino-Japanese Buddhist exchange. The piece brought to Japan caused turmoil in Japan and became a treasure for many demons. In 794 A.D., less than 10 years after Emperor Hengmu established the capital, the ghost of Prince Sarara, the crown prince who was wrongfully killed, was forced to move the capital to Heian, and the ghost of the crown prince of Maro Castle was set up by the shogun, and the ghost of the prince was set up to rule the world for more than 400 years. However, the Nine-Tails, who tracked down, did not expect to be defeated by a group of mortals and sealed in the Killing Stone forever. The relics were eventually lost. ”?

"It's pathetic." I couldn't help but regret it. "But what does this have to do with the Rejuvenation Incense?"?

"We are looking for the last piece that Xuanzang brought back from India. This piece was later taken by Zhang Qian's descendants and returned to the Yue clan, hoping to return it to its native India, but it was unsuccessful, but an Indian monk painted these murals here, confirming its origin. And this piece was finally placed in the tomb of Zhang Qian built by them. "Xie didn't answer my question.?

"I see, the last relic is the Soul Rejuvenation Incense?" It dawned on me. Xie nodded at me.?

It turns out that the treasure that has disturbed the world for nearly a thousand years is this. "Don't think about it, we don't have enough time, let's find it quickly. The Indian monk painted the murals and designed the mechanism at the same time. The people of the Yue Clan will not easily let people take away the Soul Rejuvenation Incense. ”?

I nodded yes and searched with Xie. Sure enough, half an hour later we found the last mural in which an Indian monk had built the tomb. It looks like it can be pushed. However, no matter which direction we exert force, it is not reflected. In the end, Xie asked me to stand in the opposite direction. I laughed, "Can that be pushed away and won't cancel each other out." But I didn't expect that. The painting turned out to be two hollow stone walls stacked on top of each other. Sure enough, after pushing it open, two small doors appeared that could only be entered and exited by one person.

Time is running out. We had to go our separate ways. Whoever finds the rejuvenating incense first will pull the ropes tied to each other's feet, first, it is not easy to get lost, and secondly, it is better to notify as soon as possible. And we brought walkie-talkies with each other.?

Xie went left, I went to the right. If I'm picking once, I'm never going to pick the right. (My friend smiled and said to me, I thought to myself, with his character of not being afraid of anything, he must have encountered something extremely dangerous)?

The passage is very narrow, and I really can't walk if I'm fat. After walking for about 20 meters, a short staircase appeared on the right, and each step was very uneven, and it felt strange to step on, but the light was very dark, so I didn't pay much attention to it. When I go down the stairs. I felt an unusual light ahead. Sure enough, at the end of the room at the bottom of the stairs, there was a black box on the skeleton of a monk dressed like a mummy. I guess this should be, and immediately called Xie, but the sound is very noisy, maybe the signal is not good. I had to pull the rope and go get the box myself.

I'm not a fool, of course I moved tentatively with something first, and it's good, there's no mechanism. The box is heavy. It should be made of metal. It's strange that the box doesn't see anything like a lock on the outside. At this time, curiosity hurt me. Who wouldn't want to see that treasure that can bring people back from the dead? I opened the box with trembling hands. But I forgot, I have dead bodies around me.?

As soon as the box was opened, I smelled a breathtaking aroma, the kind of smell that would lift people's spirits. And it feels like it's addictive. I looked inside the box. A smooth object the size of an egg is firmly embedded with four dragon beaks. The inside of the box is also engraved with Hindi-like characters. It seemed that this was it, and I happily closed the box and put it in the quilt bag. I didn't notice that something was slowly crawling towards me from behind.?

At this time, the walkie-talkie rang, and I cursed that this thing would shine when it was not needed. Immediately connected, Xie shouted anxiously inside: "Did you get it?" Don't open it when you get it, come out quickly. ”?

"Why don't you open it?" As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a cool breeze behind me. Subconsciously looking back, there were several warriors standing behind them who looked like zombies and held ancient blades, most of them had become skeletons, and it seemed that they had just climbed up, because I saw that their faces were still dropping powder. I secretly cried out, could it be that I opened the box just now and woke them up? No wonder there are no traps, they are the biggest ones. I looked back at the seated monk, and strangely he didn't wake up. It's okay, one less is one less. But there's not much I can do in the face of these inhuman monsters. Limited space in the room. They're approaching me with their weapons. I had to step back. As he retreated, he shouted into the walkie-talkie: "There's no time for nonsense, come and save me!" ”?

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard Xie scolding his mother in the other half.?

I looked down the stairs and saw that the stairs I had just come down were gone, and I saw that one of the soldiers had a shoe print of my Nike sneakers on his shoulder, and it turned out that they had been lying naked all along, and I said how strange the steps were. But there's no time to think about it now. A spear belt has pierced the cold wind in front of me. I cried out to myself, this is the end. Suddenly, I heard the sound of gunshots, and the spears fell to the ground, and the monsters turned their heads violently. The skull head of one of them was immediately shattered and fell into my hand with the second gunshot. I threw it away, it felt really disgusting.?

"You came in time, and at first I looked at them and thought it was your relative." I slammed into a path while the monsters' attention turned to Shayda on the high platform, and Xie pulled me up. As soon as Xie pulled me up, he hurriedly called for a quick run.

"What are you afraid of, can a skeleton still jump up?" I patted the dirt, and when I looked back, they really couldn't jump, but they stepped on each other one by one. It seems that they are far smarter than I thought.?

The athleticism of a person in the face of danger is truly extraordinary. Shaida and I ran out of the aisle as fast as I could. And the moment those monsters came out, he pulled the stone door back again. No matter how much they hit in the back, they can't do anything. After all, they are not Zhang Wuji who has practiced the Great Shift. Xie and I sat on the ground tiredly. I pointed to the door, "What the hell are those things?" ”?

"It is estimated that the guards left over from the tomb at that time. As soon as someone touches the box, they wake up. I told you not to open it, if you didn't get the box, I really didn't want to save you. Shaida reproached me. I knew I was wrong, so I had to smile.?

"The power of the Soul Rejuvenation Incense is really strong. We need to get out of here. You move it out of its original place, and soon it's not at peace. If you don't leave, you won't have a chance. Xie took out a remote-controlled device and pressed the button. We waited to be pulled up. I looked at my watch and it was exactly five minutes before two hours.?

But we were not pulled up as planned, Xie pressed it a few times but did not reflect, it seems that the machine is out of order. At this time I felt a very hot wind. Looking back, the nine-tailed fox on the mural walked down.?

Its flames lit up almost the entire room as if it were daylight. The red hairs all stood on end, making its already huge body almost fill the room. And its iconic nine tails. I was almost stunned by this mythical yokai.?

"I didn't expect it to come." Xie called out in annoyance.?

"Didn't you say it was sealed?" I asked Shayda.?

"It's not its essence, it's a new youkai formed by its obsession with returning to the soul incense. Its mind only thinks about one thing. ”?

"What's the matter?"?

"Kill us, get the crates back." Xie paused and said word by word.?

If we can still use the few skeleton soldiers just now, I'm afraid it won't be useful to it. The nine-tailed fox's mind body bared its sharp teeth as it approached us. Its eyes burned like fire, staring at the bag with the box behind my back.

"What to do? The machine broke down again. We had to resist until the machine automatically pulled us up. Xie Yida said helplessly.?

"Do you think we can resist for five minutes?" I pointed to the nine-tailed fox that had pushed us to the end step by step.?

"Don't be afraid, it's just a mind body, and I guess it shouldn't have much ability." Before Xie Yida could finish his words, he saw the so-called mind body slap a stone tablet with one paw, and the stone tablet shattered to the ground like tofu. We swallowed spit.?
