Chapter 218: Reaching the Top
This scream woke everyone up from their sleep at once, and the cry came from Lao Dao's tent, when Cha Wenbin and Chaozi hurriedly arrived.
"What's going on?" Cha Wenbin asked.
"Dead." The old knife said expressionlessly, he watched the only brother who was still alive also leave him, his heart had begun to lose those edges, he could allow his comrades to be blown to pieces, but he couldn't accept this inexplicable way of death one after another.
Cha Wenbin lowered his body and wanted to check it out, but Zhuo Xiong, who had just entered the door, shouted: "Don't touch that thing, it's a corpse silkworm!" As he spoke, people found that the dagger he was holding was carrying a corpse silkworm the size of a ham intestine, although it was pierced by the tip of the knife, but it was not completely dead, and its body was still writhing slightly.
"Just found at the door, this thing is planning to drill into your tent, this thing is from the inaccessible snowy plateau, maybe our smell has attracted them and become prey."
In addition to Zheluo and Lao Dao, other people have learned the power of this thing, if it weren't for the three-legged toad born as a nemesis in Qifeng Mountain, they may have already become the snack of this thing, and now they have seen this thing in the real place of origin, saying that they are not scared, it is fake.
Cha Wenbin said: "Old knife, go away, this insect is extremely poisonous, one bite can kill people, it seems that we have entered their nest, we have to think of some measures to sleep." Chaozi, this corpse silkworm may still be on people, you should be careful when dealing with Zhuoxiong. ”
"Don't worry." After squatting down and checking it, Chaozi found a small hole that was about to be broken on the side of the sleeping bag on the foot, "It's from here, I'm sorry brother, I might have to move you." After speaking, he motioned to Lao Dao and Cha Wenbin to go out, and Zhuo Xiong pulled the end of the sleeping bag against his feet, lifted it up violently, and then pulled it back, and the entire sleeping bag was torn off the blackened corpse, and at the same time, a white and soft insect fell to the ground, and was hunched over and crawled towards his prey again.
"Whoosh!" The dagger in Chaozi's hand was thrown by him with all his might, and it hit the corpse silkworm seven inches accurately, and it was firmly nailed to the ground, and it stopped after struggling for a while.
Chaozi said to Zhuo Xiong: "Blind, go and see if there are any other bugs on him, don't miss it." ”
Soon the thick warm suit on the corpse was gently cut open by the dagger, although they didn't want this comrade to lose dignity after death, but this was purely helpless, a corpse silkworm was poisonous enough to destroy the entire team.
Fortunately, they did not find any new corpses, the bite wound was on the calf, and a piece of flesh the size of a fingernail had been lost, so they dressed the corpse, put it back into the sleeping bag, and carried it to the door.
Cha Wenbin outside was using sulfur to encircle the entire camp outside, he explained: "This can cover the smell, but also insect prevention, in the future, sleep at night or people to take turns to guard, can not relax, this corpse ......" Cha Wenbin looked at the old knife again and asked: "How to deal with it, or you decide." ”
"If you burn it, you can't stay here for the eagle or the wolf to eat, and you can't feed the worms."
Cha Wenbin said: "That's okay, I'll do a Dharma and send it, just burn it here, Kunlun is full of dragon veins, you don't even need to pick acupoints, just sprinkle them here." ”
A simple spiritual platform was set up, and some tributes were made with the dry food he brought with him, and the corpse was quietly placed in front of the camp, and the old knife knelt in front of the corpses of his subordinates and said with a little embarrassment: "Brothers, I can't stop you, bring you in, but I can't take you out, don't worry, it won't be long before my brother will come down to accompany you, don't blame me for being strict with you, a little stricter, a little more safety, but I didn't expect to go so fast." ”
Cha Wenbin burned some paper money for him, lit incense and candles, and recited the mantra of death, hoping that this little brother would have a good birth in the next life, and this is the only thing he can do.
"People can't be resurrected after death, let's mourn and change, I think you should light this fire yourself." Saying that, Cha Wenbin handed the fire fold in his hand to the old knife, and the old knife was silent for a while before taking it and shouting: "Say hello to a few more brothers, wait for me to go out, your parents are my old knife's parents, I will help you watch it, let's go!" ”
The sleeping bag had been sprinkled with compressed fuel, and the fire broke off and ignited, with a "boom", a fire accompanied by thick black smoke began to rise, and Cha Wenbin recited the mantra over and over again, hoping to bring more yin virtue to the dead man.
This night, there are a few people who can sleep peacefully, of course, except for the snoring king like Heng Meat-faced Dashan, even if there is a gold ingot, most of them have nothing to do with him, this guy sleeps in a fragrant place.
Early the next morning, the sky was a little bright, and Cha Wenbin got up early, but saw Lao Dao sitting outside smoking a stuffy cigarette.
"Wake up so early?" Seeing that it was Cha Wenbin, the old knife only nodded symbolically, "Hmm." ”
Looking down from this halfway up the mountain, it has to be spectacular, the fog in the morning is extraordinarily thick, and the sea of clouds is churning down less than ten meters deep from them, it really feels like being on top of the heavenly palace, the sun has not yet risen, Cha Wenbin decided to take a look at the trend of the mountain here.
From here, it seemed that they had walked nearly half the way, and there was no thick fog upwards, and it was estimated that it would take more than half a day to hurry, because the higher the place, the thinner the air, and the lower the temperature.
This Kunlun can not be said to be the first sacred mountain in China, the towering Kunlun is three thousand zhang, the white snow gives it a mysterious and solemn veil, Cha Wenbin only feels that he is standing here like a small ant, he can see the sea of clouds in the distance There is a golden light flashing, that is, the sun's light is launched by the clouds, that is, the sun is born from the back of the mountain behind them, they are now located in the west, that is, the back of the sun, if you want to get a glimpse of Kunlun's true body, I am afraid you have to pass the top of this mountain first.
Lao Wang's situation has improved greatly compared to yesterday, after a night's rest, at least his complexion has been much better, he packed his bags, and the remaining few people have started a new journey.
It's not an easy journey, you have to be careful of everything, now it seems that people are not the only creatures here, at least those elusive corpse silkworms may appear at any time.
The higher you go, the more unusual things start to appear. They saw some large rocks that had been lifted up, a bit like the Mani piles in Tibet, most of which had been covered in snow, and they couldn't see how big they were. If the snow melts, perhaps the revelation could change the history of ancient times, as they found bronze pillars here!
A bronze pillar with a diameter of twenty centimeters was exposed to the ground, and the part that was left was only about ten centimeters long, and it was accidentally kicked by Zheluo. They dug down for a long time, but they didn't see the end, and the two of them tried to pull it up, but they didn't move.
There were some ancient characters carved on the pillar, which Cha Wenbin recognized, but he forgot to ask High Priest Yun about the meaning of these words, because the handwriting of this thing had once appeared on something that was not so visible: the Soul Slayer Nail!
The ancient Soul Exterminating Spell was carved on this pillar alternately, and the kind of shock brought was no less than that of the Fuso Divine Tree displayed in front of him, what was the purpose of such a huge Soul Exterminating Nail?
Cha Wenbin thought like this in his heart: Could it be that there is still some ancient demon buried under here, and such a large soul-destroying nail needs to be used?
After trying for a long time, they gave up on the idea of getting the thing up and looking at it, and at this time they were only half an hour away from the summit, and with a little more effort, they could complete the task before the sun went down.
Cha Wenbin said: "Let's go up and have a look first, there is this thing, at least it shows that there were people here in the past." ”
Before reaching the top of the mountain, I saw a white mist surging upwards, which aroused everyone's curiosity, and unconsciously found a more strange phenomenon, the surrounding snow began to slowly disappear, and the temperature was much higher than before!
The first to reach the summit was Chaozi, who shouted in an almost uncanny voice, "Oh my God! ”
By the time Cha Wenbin also reached the top, he was completely speechless, what a majestic sacred mountain this is, no wonder the world can't see its true face, that's because those who don't climb to the top will never think that the other side of the mountain actually has a cave!
If the position where Cha Wenbin is standing now is the outermost petal of a lotus flower, then in front of his eyes is the real stamen.
A mountain slightly higher than this one was placed on the opposite side of them, surrounded by rolling mountains, which were tightly wrapped in the middle, the mountains stretched out like lotus petals, and the churning sea of clouds and white snow floated halfway up the mountainside, and the main peak in the middle was a green scene, not only densely covered in the mountains, but even clusters of open flowers could be seen, white clouds gently floated around it, and birds such as geese and cranes hovered from time to time on the top of the mountain.
If you use a more three-dimensional word to describe it, aerial photography from the sky down, this is a Tianshan Snow Lotus floating in the air!
Cha Wenbin couldn't find anything to say for a while, and only said half-loudly: "The fairyland on earth is nothing more than this, and it is not the origin of mythology!" ”
"Come and see, there's a well with hot water in it!" Chaozi was already shouting over there, only to see a figure-eight well appear on the ground, with a big chain tied to it, and the hot water in the well was gushing out, and the white heat was turning out from here.
