Chapter 197: Snowy Secret Realm

It's okay for others, how can the tough guy who never leaves his mouth and kills the wolf with a knife without frowning like this in the first year of junior high school? But looking at their posture, they are not falling down in the chaos, they are all lying on the ground face down in one direction, and their whole bodies tremble for a while, I think it is even more strange! Could it be that it is not panicking, but worshipping something? But it was less than a minute from the hillside where they had ascended to the exit of the Bone Gully, so what could have happened in such a short time?

I thought to myself, quickening my pace, and as soon as I stepped out of the narrow deep ditch, I was immediately stunned on the spot—I saw a foggy white light in the northern sky, and the light flickered and flickered; This strange light just surrounded the silver top of the snow peak, and in an instant, it seemed to produce a divine light like the sun and the moon embracing each other, and the harmony and the same light - this is what I heard about a long time ago, the jade top Buddha light that appears once in a thousand years in the Kunlun Mountains! Only destined disciples can see it.

I was so amazed by this sacred sight that even though I am not a Buddhist, I thought I should quickly kneel on the ground and pay homage. At this time, the people behind came up one after another, and before they could see clearly, the magical light had disappeared into the night. Uncle Ming and the others only saw half of their eyes, and they all beat their chests, and they couldn't regret it.

Shirley Yang also caught a glimpse and told everyone: "Don't regret it, this is not a once-in-a-millennium Buddha light at all!" It was just a synchronous discharge in the clouds; The clouds under the snow-capped mountains are too thick, and this phenomenon occurs at night. The Buddha's light, which only appears once in a thousand years, is so easy to encounter! ”

But the first and others firmly believe that it is the Buddha's light and holy scene, and everyone who sees it will be auspicious. He told us that this kind of small Buddha light is common in Karamir, but the real thousand-year-old Buddha light is only found at the top of the snow-capped mountain in his distant hometown of Kawabog in Yunnan. It is said that it only appeared for a few seconds about a thousand years ago, and it was handed down in the "Ten Phases of Freedom" - there is a living Buddha prophecy that it will appear again in the next ten years, and when it is approaching, many pilgrims will travel thousands of miles to worship at the foot of the sacred mountain.

After worshipping the Buddha's light just now, the porters all seemed to be elated, shouting to gather the cattle and horses; After checking the materials and equipment, fortunately there was not much loss, so I continued to move forward. When it was daybreak, they found a place on a gentle hillside and camped; After resting for a day and a night, and cultivating enough mental strength, I was ready to enter the Shenluogou Glacier.

During this time, those wolves have not been seen, but they are watching us from nowhere, so they dare not take it lightly for a moment. Especially after we continued to advance in the mountains for two days, we were about to enter an even more dangerous and mysterious area - Shenluogou.

Shenluogou Glacier is a unique low-altitude ancient glacier in the world, and the lowest place is only 2,008 meters above sea level. The glacier passes between the two snowy mountains, extending to the primeval forest below for about several kilometers, and the dense primeval forest under the glacier is full of ancient trees, countless exotic flowers and plants, and has a high alpine and cold desert zone, rich in animal and plant resources.

Entering the forest of Shenluogou, the problem of lack of oxygen and cold on the plateau can be solved, but new problems also arise, such places have no roads at all, yaks and horses cannot go down from the glacier, and there is a big ice barrier.

It seems that the only supply camp is to be stationed here, and the original plan was to leave only two porters to guard the supplies, and the rest of the people to carry their loads into the glacier, but the encounter with the wolves poses a potential threat, and the few people left behind may not be able to protect the camp and livestock.

I also don't want the locals to follow the first one into the mountain, because I don't know what danger there will be in front of me, and I really don't want to involve others, but the first year of the first year insists on helping, digging the demon tower of the demon country is a matter of accumulating merit, if it succeeds, the first day of the first year does not plan to send his third son to the temple to practice as a lama, and seeing the light of the Buddha on the top of the treasure has increased his confidence. We discussed it for a long time, and in the end we had to leave four porters to guard the cattle and horses, each of whom had a shotgun and was a good hand at fighting wolves, and left them some explosives and detonators, four of them should be enough.

The remaining eight people formed a team, wearing diving suits inside, jackets on the outside, wearing mountaineering helmets and other protective gear, and allocated weapons and ammunition, two sports rifles were given to the fat man and Shirley Yang respectively, Peter Huang and I used shotguns, and the first year of junior high school used shotguns, MI911 In addition to Ah Xiang, each person had one hand, carrying the necessary materials and equipment on their backs, and after finishing on the hour, they set off.

The gateway of the Shenluogou Glacier is what the locals commonly call the "Big Ice Ridge". It's very easy to go down, it's a slope between 40 and 60 degrees, just grab the rope and go down like a slide, but I'm afraid it will take some effort to come back.

As soon as the first day of the first day we were taken to a location, this big ice ridge looked very gentle, and it didn't seem difficult to go down, but in fact, there were many fragile ice crevasses and ice caves inside, and as soon as the human weight was pressed up, it would crush the thin ice shell outside, fall down and fall to death. Only when the monks and monks went into Shenluogou to collect medicine, they found a narrow area, which was relatively safe.

We set up three long ropes to hang down to the bottom of the ice ridge, starting from the first one, the first to slip down, and the rest of the people went down in turn, and arrived at the Shenluo ditch under the ice ridge smoothly.

After I went down, I raised the telescope and looked into the distance, the forest sea snow mountain, the vast endless, this glacier should belong to the composite type, the main body is the ancient glacier, there are many areas of the avalanche formed by the modern glacier in various periods, there are large and small, all surrounded by forest separation, ice drains, ice caves, ice ditches and large ice waterfalls, countless, in the lower altitude of the forest, the melting ice water converges into a stream, God knows where the demon tower is buried.

Although this is not all avalanche danger areas, there are some places that can't make too much noise, which will wake up the silver snow-capped mountain gods, so the guide Chuyi suggested that everyone should close all the safety of their weapons, and no one should shoot until they are confirmed safely, and if there is a beast attacking, we will greet it with cold weapons.

We walked along the glacier into the forest, while walking with reference to the terrain, to study the possible location of the demon tower, the reincarnation sect until hundreds of years ago, and often sent people to hold sacrifices, maybe there will be some relics, according to the reincarnation of the secret scriptures, the specific location, should be in the glacier surrounded by four snow-capped mountains, where is the so-called phoenix shrine in tantric feng shui.

Just walked in the forest for about two days, this day continued to move forward, on the way to the first day of the first year to tell us some of the legend of the Shenluo ditch, as well as his experience of coming here to collect medicine, in Buddhist legends, here used to be an inland ocean, there was a huge conch at the bottom of the sea, changed into a demon, mana through the gods, because of it, the nearby creatures were poisoned, until the Buddha used Buddhism to raise the ocean into a land mountain, only to make it subdued, the conch demon god was willing to take refuge in Buddhism, and finally called the protector of Buddhism, and it became a BuddhaThe conch shell left behind turned into this ancient Shenluogou glacier.

This legend is not contained in any scriptures, and may have been invented by previous people, but it is in keeping with the characteristics of ordinary Buddhist legends. Buddhism is the most inclusive religion, no matter what demons and monsters, as long as they are willing to put down the butcher's knife, they can become Buddhas on the ground, so in the Buddhist scriptures and legends, many demon gods from all over the world are absorbed as protectors.

As he spoke, he walked to a big icefall, and asked everyone to stop moving forward first, pointing to the icefall and saying: "The ice plate in front of me is just below the icefall, and the icefall is the main peak of a snow-capped mountain. If you want to find a place surrounded by four snow-capped mountains, then this is the front, because I saw it with my own eyes when I went up to collect medicine, there are just four giant snow-capped peaks here, there are many snow-capped mountains in Karamir, one in the east and one in the west, but it is not easy to find those that are connected together, what I have seen and known, this is the only one, but in this basin, I have never dared to enter it before, because legend has it that at this time, the center of the sea of calamity, we should be careful when entering. ”

I can also see that the weather here is not more leisurely, not the feng shui situation, just looking at the tens of millions of tons of snow in this snow-capped mountain, it makes people feel cold, but fortunately, the forest belt between the glaciers is very wide, bypassing the ice falls, passing through the forest, as long as there is no big accident, it will not cause avalanches.

The heart of the forest is a high and low glacier, the altitude rises sharply, the glacier is above the snow line, it seems that tens of millions of years ago, here is either a mountain ice lake or a mountain basin, there are really four towering snow peaks of similar scale around, this is the backbone of heaven and earth "Dragon Peak", the demon tower dedicated to the evil god may be frozen in this glacier.

Everyone saw that they finally landed, they were all excited, and they couldn't wait to rush forward, wanting to go all out and find the nine-story demon building before dark, where the ice was slippery and abnormal, all like mirrors, Peter Huang has always been in the south, this kind of icy and snowy place has never been to it, it is difficult to adapt, and he walked a little faster and even slipped a few heels, and his tail bone was about to crack, so he had to let the fat man and Chu Yi carry him away.

Just about to move on, I didn't have the right number at all, one less Han Shuna, this glacier is full of ice crevasses and ice cirques, ice leaks, if you really fall into it, it will be troublesome, the ice cirque is easy to do, there is no way to fish up if you fall into the ice drain, and there are no footprints on the ice, it is not easy to find back along the way, but under the big snow mountain, I don't dare to call her name, even Ah Xiang doesn't have the perspective ability to see the situation under the ice.

Everyone had to leave Peter Huang to watch in place, and the rest of the people scattered in formation, checked back and forth according to the way they came, and then changed the angle, and changed the direction until they found a broken ice cirque (this bucket is not another bucket, a geographical term, referring to the hollow gap in the glacier, the shape is like a basin like a bucket), I used a wolf's eye flashlight to shine inward, Han Shuna was falling inside, unconscious, we whispered her name and did not have any response, according to my vision, this cirque is seven or eight meters deep.

No one knows why she deviated from the route and passed by here, Uncle Ming saw that his wife fell below and her life and death were unknown, so he was so anxious that he didn't worry, he didn't have to worry about it, it wasn't too deep here, he was wearing a full set of protective gear, at most, he was frightened and fainted when he fell, just go down and pull her up, there will be no big incident.

I packed up the rope and prepared to go down, Shirley Yang threw a cold smoke into it first, so as to see the shape clearly, so as not to step on the ice crack connected to it, I didn't expect the cold smoke that fell down, illuminating the four walls of the ice cellar, everyone looked down, and they all said "ah", many dead people in ancient clothes and crowns frozen in the ice wall maintained a posture of standing and bowing their heads, forming a circle, as if these ancient corpses were still alive, staring down at the unconscious Han Shuna, what we saw was only the outermost layer, In the depths of the ice, I don't know how many bodies have been frozen.
