Chapter 396: Nine Songs
"Get down all of them, spread your limbs, and slowly move back." Xuan became the commander of this team at this moment.
There is a constant cracking sound under the ice, which is a sign that it is about to collapse, and I don't know that the ice layer that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years is finally collapsing today.
After retreating to a relatively safe place, Xuan said to the dwarf: "You are the lightest, take the rope and go over to see, he will get stuck at the entrance of the cave." ”
The dwarf changed his hippie smile from the past, took the rope from the big man's hand and said, "Remember to pull me back!" ”
The dwarf was as light as a swallow, and he kept his hands and feet on the snow at the same time, keeping his strength evenly distributed, and soon he saw Zhuo Xiong who was stuck in the snow hole, took off the rope and threw it down, and Zhuo Xiong immediately grabbed it. The dwarf made a gesture behind him, and the big man began to pull back, inch by inch, first with a head, then with half a body, and with every inch of pulling it threatened to burst the already fragile ice.
The dwarf had already retreated to safety, and Zhuo Xiong took a deep breath, and then he needed to move his body to the snow, which required the support of an arm. Zhuo Xiong carefully propped his elbows on the snow, trying to exert force, a little better than expected, and then pressed all the strength of his whole body.
I took a deep breath, put my other hand up, and my body began to move slowly, as long as I went up a little more, and my waist was completely up, I could rest assured. Raising his elbow, he took another step forward, and with a "click", Zhuo Xiong secretly said that it was not good, and used all his strength to rush upward.
"Click", the ice finally broke, where can he still take care of it, and run directly with his feet open. Every step on the snow is a burst, Cha Wenbin is not far away from the anxious to jump, Zhuo Xiong is still a practitioner, and the speed of the impact is definitely dissatisfied. When he successfully ran to safety, he heard a "boom" collapse sound behind him, and a snow field the size of a basketball court had completely disappeared.
The falling snow immediately began to cause a burst of snow mist due to the impact of the impact, and it took a while for the fog to disperse.
Suddenly, there were countless people lined up in the pit, and the people who were standing, their faces were covered with a faint layer of frost, and these people were arranged in a very regular manner like figurines in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang.
The dwarf touched his chin and smacked his lips and said, "It's spectacular, is it for the funeral?" ”
The pit was deep, the ice had not completely collapsed, and the "men" were still dressed in animal skins rather than cloth, and they held in their hands weapons of all kinds, from rudimentary sticks to sharpened spears and stone tools; Some people wear Tibet's unique red coral around their necks, while others wear necklaces strung with animal bones. There were no women or children, only young men, and it looked more like a force guarding the foot of the mountain.
"Would you like to go down and have a look?" Yuan Min was asking for Cha Wenbin's opinion.
Cha Wenbin's eyes are surprisingly good, which is also the benefit of his perennial use of tea to wash his eyes, because Taoist priests need more sensitive vision than ordinary people, and he has to see more things that ordinary people can't see.
The foreheads of the men were marked with a mark the size of a copper coin, a mark he knew familiarly, but he could not remember where he had seen it, but he was sure that it was not a word, but a symbol.
I filtered it in my mind over and over again, and thought over and over again where I had seen this symbol.
"Soul sealing."
"What did you say?" Yuan Min only heard Cha Wenbin muttering.
"That's right, it's the Soul Sealing Spell!" Cha Wenbin's voice suddenly increased by many decibels, so that the people around him were shocked, what did this Taoist priest see made him so excited.
After thinking about it for a long time, Cha Wenbin finally remembered where he had seen this symbol. At the foot of Kunlun Mountain that year, in the classics of the Yun High Priest, he had seen this mysterious symbol, a reverse "swastika" character, but there were three more horizontal lines on the head of the "swastika" character, and he discussed with the Yun High Priest whether this symbol was written wrong.
But the High Priest of the Cloud said that this symbol was a kind of incantation that could seal the three souls and seven spirits of a person, so that they would enter an infinite sleep and never wake up. However, the books of the high priest of Yun only have the drawing method of the charm, but there is no specific spell, which means that this ancient spell has long been lost, and he called it the soul sealing, which is a very vicious spell. Perhaps this curse was too vicious, so the ancestors only mentioned it and did not pass it down, but now it is seen again here, which makes Cha Wenbin remember it all at once.
The gnome looked at it and said, "You mean that mark on their forehead?" Isn't that a Buddhist 'swastika', this is Tibet, it's not uncommon for this thing to appear, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”
"This can't just refer to the Buddhist mark, this symbol appears all over the world, whether it is the Majiayao of the Yellow River more than 6,000 years ago, or the Mesopotamian Plain, the Byzantine art of ancient Rome, the 'swastika' symbol can be seen, and even the Polynesians, the Mayans of South and Central America, and the Navajo Indians of North America have also used the symbol of swastika and swastika." After speaking, Yuan Min also deliberately glanced at Cha Wenbin and said, "Mr. Cha, how am I talking?" ”
Zha Brown burst out for no reason: "However, don't you think these people are arranged more like a lot of lotus?" ”
Cha Wenbin's eyes narrowed, and he found that the middle of these people was the tallest, and then began to distribute outward in a fan shape, layer upon layer, with the height of the people on each layer being similar, and the height of the outer layer being a little shorter. And these heights are not actual heights, but caused by their posture, these people are all facing the middle one, and then leaning back, a total of nine layers, really like a lotus flower.
"The soul sealing spell seals the three souls and seven spirits, and the eternal sleep, the word 'swastika' means that the faith remains unchanged and the soul is immortal. The three fires of taking people are hanging on the top, and the soul is not out. "What is soul sealing and how to seal the soul, Cha Wenbin already has his own interpretation of this symbol in his heart. It suddenly occurred to him in his heart that this soul-sealing person was not dead at that time, but was only asleep, so wasn't that equivalent to a vegetative person?
Soul sealing? Vegetable? Lotus? By the way, he suddenly remembered the four words written on the note that Yuan Min gave him: Holy Lotus Pure Water! Could it be that it is the Holy Lotus Purification Water that unlocks the soul sealing curse?
Turning over the book, Cha Wenbin remembered that there was such a record in the book, saying that in order to find the divine water, he encountered a "very high snow wall", and he could not walk through it no matter what, and then he shot an arrow, which penetrated the gable wall and opened a large tunnel, and he walked in this tunnel for nine days.
Who can shoot a big tunnel with an arrow? It's almost a fantasy! But looking at the big pit in front of him, Cha Wenbin felt that what was written in the book was not joking, because Zhuo Xiong also used a shovel to dig such a big pit, if what he said in the book was true, then this road was not in front of him.
"Go down!" Cha Wenbin said.
"What? You want us to go down? Yuan Min felt that there were inexplicable dead people everywhere here, although she was not afraid, but it did not mean that she was willing to deal with dead corpses.
Cha Wenbin nodded and said, "Yes, this is the passage to that mountain, otherwise we won't be able to get through." ”
"Are you crazy? The snow-capped mountains are clearly in front of you, do you have to drill from the ground? ”
Cha Wenbin raised the book in his hand and said: "If you don't believe that we can divide the army into two roads, you go to the ground, and we go underground." ”
Yuan Min was given the task of protecting Cha Wenbin, although she could only choose to be silent, but she was still unconvinced and said: "Why are you sure? Just that broken book in your hand? ”
"What is said in the book is verified one by one, I can't choose not to believe it, and I know this mountain now, it is not Sun Ba Jingxue at all, but Jiuqu Linglong!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Cha Wenbin hugged his hands and said, "If you say it, you won't understand." Zhuo Xiong, set up camp here tonight, and we'll go down tomorrow morning. ”
Why is Cha Wenbin suddenly like this?
That's because he remembered the legend that High Priest Yun told him: "The ancient people originally lived in the southwestern plateau, which was the homeland of witchcraft, and the water and grass were fertile, and the seasons were like spring. There is a more spectacular mountain than Kunlun called Jiuqu Linglong, the top of the mountain is transparent, with nine sides, each of which can emit dazzling light. One day, a roc bird flew to the top of the mountain and laid two eggs, one of which was white and the other was black. The black one hatched a demon who did all kinds of evil; The white one hatched a true god, and the two of them began to fight from birth, and finally the white god used his full strength to seal the black demon on the top of the mountain, and from then on, his hometown began to be frozen for 10,000 years, and they had to start migrating. ”
Originally, Cha Wenbin thought that this was just a legend, but today he saw the Soul Sealing Spell, and that was because the Soul Sealing Spell was created by that black demon illusion, and he used this method to make fun and harm the world.
