Chapter 25: Nine-Eyed Dzi
"Professor Liu, I feel as if there is a movement of air, you see!" I felt a cool wind blowing on my face, indicating that we were not far from the entrance of the cave. I took out a piece of hair, and it swayed, not very much, but it meant that we were about to go out.
"Keep moving forward, we're going out, let's ......work hard," Professor Liu urged the team members, but none of the Taoist priests of the Dragon and Tiger Temple spoke, they followed us like ghosts. I thought to myself, these Taoist priests, what is the difference between cultivators and ghosts? I can't see them in normal times, and when I see them, I ignore you, and I am not a normal person at all.
"Look! There's a hole in front of you! Wu Shirong and Wang Xuebing ran forward with the hounds.
I followed, and indeed we came out.
Out of the cave is an open Gobi surrounded by glaciers. The spiky hilltop is covered with thick snow and ice, and our position is in the middle of a peak, which happens to be covered with snow and ice. We continued to walk cautiously, the road here was very, very steep, and the thick snow made a crisp sound every time we stepped on it.
After about an hour of walking, the steep road gradually eased and became more and more flat. There were still scattered snowflakes in the sky, maybe not snow, but the wind blowing the snow down the mountains and falling on the face with an icy cold feeling.
It was already noon, and the sun was dimly shining through the thick clouds and mist. The black dot in front of me caught my attention. This is the Tanggula Mountains in Tibet, and most of the stones are blue, so how can there be so many black stones. I hurriedly ran over to see what was going on, but I ran too fast and fell down all of a sudden, rolling like a ball. I rolled for I don't know how many laps, and finally I got to the bottom of the slope and never rolled again.
It took me more than ten minutes before I came to my senses and looked at the people behind me, who kept calling my name and wanted to come, but the road was too slippery and they didn't dare to speed up, so they could only walk forward slowly.
I looked closely, and I was standing near the black spot. Where are these black spots, they turned out to be human heads! It turned out that the black spots I saw from a distance turned out to be human heads, and there were more than a dozen heads lined up in a row on the ice, and their bodies were buried in ice and snow. That's when the team members walked up to me.
"Oh my God! So many dead people, how did they all die? How could someone cut off their heads? Zhao Yu'er was stunned, quickly covered her mouth with her hands, and took a few steps back.
"Nie Yu, what are you looking at? What is this? Professor Liu and Xuan Zheng also came to see.
"Huh? It's so many heads! It's really brutal, and at first glance, they were cut off by someone, how did they die? The disciples in the back were talking, and the archaeological team members searched to see if they could find any evidence.
"It doesn't look like they are ancient people, their clothes are similar to ours and they are wearing modern people's clothes, they should be dead for a long time!" Professor Liu dug out a human head with a pickaxe and looked at it carefully, I really admired his professionalism, he was always so serious.
"There's only one way to know how they died now?" I quickly unloaded my backpack.
"Oh? Do you have a way? What's the solution? They all watched my movements curiously.
"Zhao Yu'er, you stay away from me, I want to use the corpse magic technique to summon their souls to come out and ask!" As I spoke, I took out a charm and hung it on the peachwood sword.
"Oh? You actually know the Taoism of the Ghost Emperor Gate? Are you from the Ghost Emperor's Gate? Hyun Zheng looked at me in surprise.
"No, I'm not from any sect, but by chance I met a person named Li Shen, who said that he was from the Ghost Emperor Sect and gave me a Taoist book, and I also learned it."
After speaking, I recited the mantra: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Hell, Little Ghost Manifest, I am the Great Luo Immortal of the Yang Realm, you must listen to my orders, if you don't obey, you will be assigned to the eighteenth layer of hell ......." ”
As soon as the incantation was finished, a gust of wind blew. A dozen shadows surrounded me, and as soon as I looked at my clothes, I transformed again. I lifted the dust in my right hand, puffed up my chest and pretended to be a great immortal.
"This immortal passed by here to see that you must have died unjustly, ask you, you quickly tell me how you died, I can give you a super and let you reincarnate as a human being." After saying that, I squinted and didn't look at them the same.
The dozen or so ghosts looked at me resentfully and knelt down together.
"Daxian is above, we died unjustly, please make the decision for us!" Then they began to cry.
"Oh? If you have any grievances, tell me quickly, I still have a lot of things to do! I stroked my beard.
"Tell Daxian, we are employees of a tomb robbery company, I want to find a huge tomb here, I heard that there is a treasure called the Nine-Eyed Dzi in that tomb, but I didn't expect to be taken by a group of people, we fought with them, they were killed by them when there were more of them and less of us." After saying that, the ghost still pretended to wipe his tears.
"You died in a fight, how can you say that you died unjustly? How dare you lie and deceive the immortals? Tell me which company you are from? Who are they? "I pretended to be angry.
"Daxian, we are from Benjamin's company, they seem to be some kind of super new group of people, we don't know what kind of tomb it is, it's just that the company asked us to look for ...... here!"
"Tell me what that nine-eyed dzi is!" My expression was even more angry.
"The little ones really don't know what the Nine-Eyed Dzi is, they only know that it is a very powerful treasure that can come back to life!"
"Are you telling the truth?" I shook the dust off my hand.
"Everything is true, I dare not deceive you!" The imps are kowtowing again.
After listening to their story, I probably understood, it turned out that they were Ma Zai sent by Benjamin's company, and they met the people of the super new group here, and the two families fought, and they were all killed in this barren mountain and wilderness.
"Okay, I understand, you guys are going to disperse quickly, you follow the original path and go back, the people of the underworld are waiting there, go quickly, you are not allowed to turn back, if anyone turns back, I will let his soul fly away, let's go!"
"Yes, Daisen!" The demons stood up and gave me a blow, then turned and walked away.
I summoned the ghosts with the Corpse Divine Technique, and finally learned the secret of their coming here, but what is that nine-eyed dzi they are talking about? If it can really be brought back to life as they say, will it be able to lift the curse on my little sister and us? Either way, we're going to have to check it out.
"Nie Yu! We're leaving! At this time, Daoist Xuan Zheng walked over and clasped his hands into fists.
"Xuanzheng Dao Chief, what are you?" I was stunned by his sudden move.
"I saw and heard you using spiritualism just now, the path those ghosts took is the way down the mountain, and we are going to go down the mountain to catch that evil obstacle Xuanming. I think you mean to go see that nine-eyed dzi, so we won't go. We cultivators obey the mandate of heaven in everything, what does life and death have to do, farewell! ”
After Daoist Xuan Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at me coldly, and the little Taoist priests behind him all followed him, and they walked away after a while.
"Dao Chief! Michigan! "I blushed at what he said, am I not the one who obeys the destiny of heaven? But what is destiny, I just want to save myself and my little sister, am I wrong?
"Nie Yu, let's go too, take care! We also have to go down the mountain to find the camp, otherwise the project assigned to us by the school will be in vain this year, not to mention that we don't have enough supplies for so many of us, so we will go down now and leave the supplies to a few of you, you be careful. Professor Liu and the senior team members also followed behind the Taoist leader.
Professor Liu was very kind to us, they gave us most of the supplies on their bodies, and only brought one day's rations. And Adan also left us and gave us three shotguns.
"Professor Liu, you should also be careful, we are just going to see if there is that thing, if not, we will go down the mountain to find you soon." I shouted in the direction of Professor Liu's descent down the mountain.
