The huge square "iceberg crystal stone" is evenly divided into five layers, each layer has some simple stone carvings, a large number of ciphertexts and symbols I can't understand, but the graphics can be seen at a glance, the top layer, engraved with a lot of vicious killing rituals, my first feeling is that these rituals are very similar to the "scabies" of Yunnan Xianwang, all of which are cruel to the murder of people, with something special attached to the human body, the resentment of the deceased into some kind of power.

I didn't care about looking down, and hurriedly beckoned Shinley Yang to see this crystal stone, Shinley Yang heard that Ah Xiang would be handed over to Uncle Ming to take care of, walked under the crystal stone and watched intently, and said to me after a while: "The martial arts of the king are originally the origin of Tibet, and the techniques recorded on this stone are far from being as flowery as the king's healing techniques, and the gods and ghosts are unpredictable, this may be the oldest source of the art, and it is only an imperfect prototype, but the core of the martial arts - the transformation of the life of death into other energy, It has been fully reflected, and although the later Wang Sacrifice Technique is more complicated, it has not been able to get out of this original framework.

Shinley Yang said, in fact, just saw the "Snow Millet" was frozen by the "poor god ice", already felt familiar, that kind of thing is really like the "scab technique", after going down to the depths of the ice abyss, seeing a large number of freshwater jellyfish in the underground river, I feel that it is possible that the original form of the "Snow Maitreya" is a water vampire jellyfish, in the mountain lake into the ancient glacier catastrophe period, gradually evolved into the form of survival in the snow ice, they are afraid of salt, may also be related to this, Maybe the ancient demon kingdom or the reincarnation sect of the later generations. It is according to the characteristics of these creatures. Invented the evil art of "scabness", which has left a legacy for centuries.

The giant corpse of the Xuanwu in this cave that has become the fruit of the living is also in line with the characteristics of "scabies" from some angles, and then look at the second layer of the iceberg crystal, on which is the mark of a woman covering her face with her hands; The third layer is a giant serpent with eyes on its head, the most important part of the fourth layer. It was destroyed by artificial wear, but looking at the shape of the wear, it is a prototype. Maybe it used to be an eyeball marker. The bottom layer is the most peculiar, with only what looks like bones carved into it.

I pointed to this layer and said to Shinley Yang: "This big stone is layered in several layers, and each layer is dominated by different contents from top to bottom. It's like the black tower of the Exquisite Ancient City. ”

Shinley Yang looked down again: "This is indeed an arrangement, but it is completely opposite to that of the Exquisite Ancient City, judging from the description of the Demon Kingdom in the Treasure Orb of Defeat. The mark on the crystal stone should be like a piece of power or energy, not status, and the order is from top to bottom, and the lower the power, the stronger the power. ”

Although there is a certain difference with the Exquisite Ancient City, there is still a close connection, and with this boulder alone, it can be asserted that there must be a deep relationship between the Exquisite Ghost Cave Clan and the Demon Kingdom Worship Abyss Nation, maybe the Ghost Cave Clan is a branch of the Northern Demon or Reincarnation Sect back then.

This shows that we are indeed stepping into the truth of the "eyeball" ancestral curse, as long as we find the "Evil Luo Sea Area" of the Demon Country, it must be more sinister than the refinement, and now, it is impossible to hesitate anymore, and can only gamble with our lives.

Then Shinley Yang and I found some of the rest of the crystal tablets in the cave, there are not too many words on them, they are all recorded in graphics, from the records we can know that the iceberg crystal stone that suppressed the molting turtle is a part of the reincarnation sect dug out of the "Gate of Disaster", and the stone carvings on it are all made by the people of Evil Luohai, the "Gate of Disaster" itself is a huge crystal wall that cannot be crossed, and when the Demon Kingdom was destroyed, the "Gate of Disaster" closed the only passage with the outside world, Later reincarnation dug a passage through it in order to wait for the "day of reincarnation" to come.

Search the whole cave, and that's all the information I get, I estimate that a huge stone in the gate of disaster will be placed in the cave, as a place for sacrifices, used to show the reincarnation sect's deed of digging up the door to the demon kingdom, the corpses in the cave and the spirit turtle are special sacrifices, it is estimated that walking along this river full of jellyfish, you will definitely be able to find the crystal gate, and the "evil Luohai City" should also be not far from there.

At this time, the fat man has dug out the shell of the spirit turtle, the huge swollen corpse due to the "molting turtle" ate the blood bait that grows, it has become like dead wood, it is estimated that it will not be until this time tomorrow, it will swell again into the fruit of the living, and the "molting turtle" that we captured alive, because it was not cared about after being caught, at this moment at a glance, it has been motionless, the cause of its death, probably wrapped too tightly with tape, suffocated and died, this thing is not a good thing, the whole body is poisonous, left unknown, so the fat man took its corpse, Thrown with the corpse of the man who could grow blood bait, poured some flammable materials, and burned the fire to ashes.

I saw that the cave was killed and robbed, and it was no longer worthless, so I took everyone back to the cave outside, and saw that Ah Xiang's injuries were fine, but he had lost too much blood, and now he needed enough rest, and the rest of the people were exhausted, and finally cleared the hidden dangers nearby, so they all fell asleep.

The abyss under the glacier is always the same environment, day and night, until I don't want to sleep anymore, I get up and get ready, and today I will continue to walk along the river and through the "Gate of Disaster".

I checked the weapons, ammunition, food and equipment, because the altitude here is very low, so I replaced the assault suits, and the cold-proof equipment could not be thrown away, because I might have to go out of the mountains in the future, because Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang combined could only carry the supplies for one person, and the rest would have to be distributed to me and the fat man, so try to travel lightly, throw away unnecessary things, and only bring necessities.

Uncle Ming was bargaining with the fat man, discussing how to divide the turtle shell, the two argued, but there was no result, and finally the fat man launched a rush and stuck the paratrooper knife on the ground, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was clear: "I'm too lazy to fight with you, Hong Kong peasants, you just look at it, it's not to my liking after dividing it." We need to take a knife and discuss it again. ”

Uncle Ming had no choice but to compromise and divide equally according to the fat man's division method and according to the head, so that the fat man would take four-fifths and leave only one-fifth for Uncle Ming.

Uncle Ming said: "Is there any mistake, fat boy, my goddaughter and I should share two parts, why is it only one-fifth?" ”

The fat man looked dazed: "Uncle Ming, you are also a smart person in the business field." How to sleep all night. Wake up and say stupid things? Ah Xiang's share, didn't she already use it up for her own treatment? Although I have always been innocent and simple, I look like a fool, but I also know that I don't eat when I'm hungry, I don't drink when I'm thirsty, and you don't have to rely on eating two more barrels of salty salt particles than us. Take me for a fool. ”

Uncle Ming has always been known for his shrewdness in the Nanyang antique world, and he often considers himself a little Zhuge and has done a lot of big-money business, but at this moment, when he encounters a demon king like a fat man, you reason with him, and he will pretend to be stupid with you. If you say that he is in a hurry, he will not dare to think about the consequences, and he will feel creepy and helpless when he thinks about it. I had to think I was unlucky.

The fat man whistled and put the spirit turtle shell into his bag, Uncle Ming saw the fat man's smug expression, and he was so angry that he had to hang his belly bag to see his goddaughter.

I walked over and pulled Uncle Ming aside and told him about the situation he was facing: "Uncle Ming, you and Ah Xiang are not as good as us, we are ready to go back this time, and you have three choices, the first is to go upstream along the riverbank, but the probability of whether you can get out there is half a point; Secondly, stay in the cave of this Black Tiger Xuantan and wait for us to come back to pick you up, but I don't know if we can have the life to come back, and what chance there is; In the end, follow us downstream, through the gate of disaster, behind that gate may be the evil Luohai City, this is absolutely dangerous, nine deaths, I may not be able to take care of your father and daughter, there is no guarantee of life safety, where to go, you have to make your own decision. ”

I said to Uncle Ming, if you are willing to go separately, then give him all the spirit turtle shells, Uncle Ming was stunned, and quickly expressed his attitude: "Absolutely not separate, everyone must be together in life or death, go to the gate of disaster together, in the future, Ah Xiang will marry you, and my business will also be handed over to you to take over, then the spirit turtle shell is naturally yours, what else do we say as a family?" It didn't need to be discussed, it was decided. ”

I sighed in my heart: "It seems that the old gang peasant is determined that we want to leave him alone, no matter what, can not change his preconceived notions, always think that we want to find a way to escape alone, it seems that the big dye vat of capitalism can really corrode people's souls, from yesterday to now, I have also said to him several times, three times as light as water, go downstream is dead or alive, it depends on the creation of each person." ”

I had to take Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang, along the river full of crystal veins to continue to move downstream, walked for three whole days, to the end, those glowing freshwater jellyfish gradually scarce, and finally this narrow abyss finally has an end, the huge mountain gap, was blocked by a crystal wall hundreds of meters high, the wall is full of mysterious symbols and imprints, just like the iceberg crystal stone I saw before, but the wall is too big and too high, people stand under this magnificent huge crystal wall, they feel as small as ants, The sky is faintly dazzling above the huge wall, and this must be the legendary "Gate of Disaster".

The crystal wall is not in the river, the river passes through the wall, it is now the largest flow of the various water systems in Kunlun Mountain, it seems that the tunnel that was dug is underwater, if in normal times, the passage on the door of the disaster, may be exposed on the water, because I don't know the length of the channel, there are only three sets of diving equipment, I dare not venture to go down the whole team, I decided to let everyone rest here first, and I will go into the water alone to find out the road, and then decide how to pass.

The fat man stopped me, and wanted to volunteer himself to go into the water to reconnoiter the length and width of the village, I knew that the fat man had excellent water properties, so I agreed to let him go underwater to explore the way, the fat man held his own river channel dozens of meters long, and he was able to swim back and forth in one breath, and he could go down into the water without wearing an oxygen cylinder and only wearing diving goggles.

I waited on the shore with a watch, time passed second by second, the water surface was quiet and there was no movement, my shinleg Yang began to be a little breathless, a minute has not come back, eighty percent let the fish bite the buttocks, was about to go into the water to save him, but saw a splash, the fat man with a mountaineering helmet head came out, wiped a handful of river water on his face: "The passage of this crystal wall is very wide, and it is not long, but *** the opposite side is impassable, and the big fish under the water form a fish formation, the number is too many to count, and it is tightly blocked." ”

"Fish formations" exist in inland lakes, but there are no human tracks here, and there is no need for schools of fish to form fish formations to prevent people from catching them, unless there is something unknown under the water that threatens their survival.
