Chapter 177: Organ Line
Fortunately, the rope used to hang the roots of the tree was strong enough, and it didn't take much effort for me to climb directly above the ice crystal snow lotus. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the back of the huge snow lotus is a regular lotus platform, on which there are nine lotus holes, and nine skulls that look like crystals are placed inside. I know that the owners of these skulls were all great masters in the afterlife religion during their lifetimes, and they were all people who communicated with the soul mother and were blessed by the past lives.
However, I have already seen the blessing of the afterlife, and I am even quite honored to be the one who communicates the soul mother, but in my opinion, if I can not accept this blessing, I am even willing to give my ten years of life.
I looked around the mural above, and the content described above is probably the entire process of sealing the door, and the ceremony is very mysterious, which probably means that the true gods served by the Church of the Afterlife are a group of true gods who descended from the sky.
The true god himself founded the Afterlife Religion and taught the locals many things, including writing, language, raising mastiffs, and even defending against foreign enemies. Each of these true gods is powerful, and the division of power is judged by the number of arms.
A lot of arms? We've heard about this many times along the way, and we've seen various statues of the god of many hands in the sacrificial corridor at the bottom of the lake in Mabing Zara.
The style of the painting that followed took a sharp turn for the worse, as if it was due to the arrival of a period similar to the end of the Dharma era, when a large number of gods began to age, and in order to delay the aging of the gods, the followers of the Afterlife God Cult began to build a Pure Land of Bliss called the Mystic Law World.
A lot of manpower and material resources were invested in the construction of the Pure Land, but with the blessing of the gods, the wealth seemed to be inexhaustible no matter what, and when the Mystic Law World was completed, in order to follow the true god to rebirth in the Elysian World, the most devout members of the Rebirth Sect began to sacrifice themselves. Follow God's footsteps and be reborn in Elysium.
The rest of the cultists were responsible for closing the Mystic Law Gate, the Gate of the Fire Tree and Silver Flower that connected to the sacred place of the Afterlife.
In order to completely close the door to the Mystic Law, the most loyal believers used their flesh and blood to surround the "Tree of the Wonders" in the form of lotus petals, which is also the sacred tree that the true gods brought from the homeland of the gods, that is, the tree of the ghost king that we saw before to obtain nutrients by parasitic human bodies.
When the Mystic Dharma Realm opens again, the believers who hold the Mystic Treasure Tree in their arms will be the first to enter the Land of Bliss.
And with the blessing of the Ice Jade Snow Lotus, the physical bodies of the believers will be immortal forever. Until the end of the Dharma period is completely over, these devout believers will return to their own bodies and continue to walk the world and carry forward the code of rebirth.
The description of the mural painting on this is indeed extremely tempting, but it has been proven that the Treasure Tree is a terrifying man-eating tree, and the so-called Cult of the Afterlife is nothing more than a cult under the control of an unknown civilization in the cloak of sacredness.
But there is one thing I really don't understand, that is, the gods who descend from the sky described on this mural are really the gods in the sky? The Crystal Dragon King Temple we had encountered earlier in Novelissing. And the materials carved in this top-level treasure cave of the underground dragon vein, are they really as described in the murals, they are all gifts from the true gods, and they are inexhaustible?
No matter how you look at these things, they don't look like things that should exist in the Himalayas, could it be that this god clan enshrined in the mouth of the Cult of the Afterlife is really the Aryan god army that the Nazi SS is looking for, and they all come from the mysterious disappearance of the ancient Atlantis?
I thought about getting it together and seeing what else was carved into the mural. For a moment, I didn't pay attention and stepped on the edge of the petals, although these petals were strong. But the weight of such a big person as me still wedged for a moment, and this time it almost threw me off, and I screamed in fright.
Luckily, I had a decent sense of balance, otherwise I would have fallen underneath and become a dead corpse.
Frightened, I immediately leaned back in the middle to see where the stilts had risen.
It turns out that the ground in the middle of the flower. A square-faced ghost depicted in gold thread is completely covered in the back of the petals, and for some reason, it is painted in all black without any floral decoration. In the dark palace, I only noticed the frescoes on the dome, and if it weren't for the stilts of the crystal petals just now, I would have thought that these black lines were the accumulated scars inside the jade itself.
Could it be that this is Han Jindao looking down and seeing things?
I crouched on the ground, ready to take a look. I rummaged through my coat pockets and found only a black folding saber. My intuition tells me that although this crystal flower looks transparent, it is definitely not that simple, and there should be something wrong with this black ghost pattern.
I scraped the black lacquer thread with my knife, and when I saw that there seemed to be something attached to the lacquer thread, I reached out to pull the gold thread, and the black fire paint gradually collapsed from the face of the ghost.
It stands to reason that it seems to be a very taboo thing to dismember the face of a ghost, but I still think it is very strange why a ghost face is inlaid with gold thread on the back of the flower, when the dome facing this flower is already full of gods?
As I pulled more and more gold threads, my heart became more and more sure that this gold thread should be a mechanism! It's not something important, but what is it? It's so hidden!
Finally, the end of the golden thread extended into the lotus stem that connected the entire ice crystal snow lotus.
What is certain is that this should be a trap wire.
As the name suggests, the trap line is a device that induces the trap to release the trap, which can also be called a guide lock, which is a very common application in traps. For example, the rope used to catch birds, the tripwire tied between two trees, and even the floor where some kings' tombs draw bowstrings to shoot arrows and crossbows, in fact, all use the mechanism wire as a guide lock for the gravitational force.
And this mechanism line hidden behind the ice crystal snow lotus flower was actually hidden in the totem through the fire paint, if it wasn't for me accidentally stepping on the petals and pulling out a little thread, even if I suspected that there was something here, I would never have found such a secret mechanism wire.
However, since it is such a secret mechanism, it must not be discovered by others, so the secrets hidden in the mechanism line are very likely to be very important for our next trip.
But if you think about it, this giant flower is so big that you can't even see it here, if someone destroys this huge petal, then the mechanism line embedded in the petal will naturally be pulled by the petals, so think about it, it shouldn't be another trap made by the master who designed this place, right?
To pull or not to pull? Just as I was hesitating and at a loss, I suddenly heard a bitter laugh from the depths of the lifeless tunnel...... (To be continued.) )
