Chapter 154: The Mysterious Place of Death
After Fu Tianlei heard Qin Zhen's words, he snorted with a contemptuous smile. It seemed to be laughing at how naΓ―ve Qin Zhen was to provoke him in this way.
However, Fu Tianlei still approached Qin Zhen, then sneered and grabbed Qin Zhen's arm, and said gloomily: "Okay, I also think that it may be useful to keep your arm." As he spoke, Fu Tianlei suddenly exerted force, regardless of whether the position was right or not, and directly twisted Qin Zhen's arm stiffly.
The sudden sharp pain made Qin Zhen's cold sweat come down in an instant. He clutched his right arm in pain, and it felt as if it was connected. It's just Fu Tianlei's way, if you come a few more times, it is estimated that this arm should be wasted.
Qin Zhen gritted his teeth and tried to slowly move his right shoulder. Even if he can't escape, he hopes that his actions can be free, and he doesn't want to end up like a wasted person.
It was at this time that the helicopter seemed to begin to descend. It seems that the place that Fu Tianlei asked for has arrived.
Qin Zhen put his probe on the window and looked into the distance, on the cliff not far away, there seemed to be a huge stone platform, and he couldn't tell what the specific place was.
The eagle whistling in the sky with its wings spread should obviously be a spectacular, but Qin Zhen suddenly had a bad premonition.
There were a total of three helicopters accompanying him, all of which had slowly landed with the one Fu Tianlei was riding. To say that landing on this high mountain is really enough to test the pilot's skills. They chose a place that looked relatively flat and landed, and then waited for Fu Tianlei's instructions.
It seemed that Fu Tianlei didn't need these planes nearby, so he waved his hand proudly. The pilot immediately understood what he meant.
After that, Fu Tianlei grabbed Qin Zhen's collar and dragged him off the helicopter. The whining wind whistled in the ears and the wind surged in the sky, as if to indicate that an unusual story was about to take place here.
The main peak of the sacred mountain in front of you is clearly discernible, but the clouds and mist surround the top of the mountain, and you can never see the complete true face.
Qin Zhen was like a death row prisoner who was about to be escorted to the execution ground, and under the escort of Fu Tianlei and several soldiers, he slowly walked towards a large open platform in front of him.
On the right is a steep cliff, on the left is a steep cliff, and in the middle stands a tall honor guard of about 30 meters. Countless prayer flags enclose a large field around it. The wind whined at the rocks. Countless prayer flags are shaking and ringing in the wind. That voice really sounded like thousands of people were chanting prayers.
From time to time, two huge vultures would take off from the air, and the size of those vultures was so large that Qin Zhen felt scared. Compared to ordinary vultures, this place looks like some behemoth. Even if you don't spread your wings. The height of that vulture could be about the height of Qi Qin Zhen's waist.
Qin Zhen followed Fu Tianlei's slow steps. Gradually, they walked onto the vast platform surrounded by prayer flags. A suppressed breath of death accompanied by the mountain wind stimulated every nerve of Qin Zhen.
This wide and gradually rising field. It is surrounded by barbed wire nets and prayer flags. The higher Qin Zhen went, the more he felt so heavy that he couldn't breathe. It wasn't until he almost stepped on a white object under his feet that he suddenly woke up and understood.
It was a white vertebrae. It's the spine of a person......
Qin Zhen suddenly looked up at Fu Tianlei who was walking in front. I was shocked. Fu Tianlei also looked back at Qin Zhen as if he had sensed something, and as always, with that sinister sneer.
"This, this is the Heaven/Burial Ground?!" Qin Zhen stood still and asked Fu Tianlei in surprise.
Fu Tianlei smiled disapprovingly and replied, "You still have a little knowledge." β
"You...... How can you come to such a place casually? "Qin Zhen knows very well that outsiders are not allowed to enter the heaven/burial ground, and such a sacred place of life and death, how can it be like his house opened, and he can "contract" if he wants to "contract"? ?
However, Fu Tianlei was very dissatisfied with Qin Zhen's problem. He raised his head arrogantly and said domineeringly: "As long as I want to, let alone a heaven/burial ground, even if you are buried on the ground, no one can pursue anything." β
"......" Qin Zhen subconsciously looked back at the helicopters that had gone away, and suddenly understood. Fu Tianlei probably set this piece of heaven / burial ground into a forbidden / area on the grounds of "military mission". It's right on Mount Kailash, and now no ordinary people are going to enter it. He was in this completely isolated place of death, waiting for Yudong's arrival.
Regardless of whether Yudong would come or not, Qin Zhen felt that since he was brought to such a place by Fu Tianlei, it seemed that the final outcome had been revealed. On that day, hundreds of condors near the burial platform were waiting to fly to heaven with their own mouths and stomachs, carrying mortal bodies.
The scene of nearly one-meter-tall vultures and hundreds of them soaring or competing for food is undoubtedly shocking. Those eagles hovering in the sky seem to be looking down on the world, and their eyes are like a kind of scrutiny, on this sacred high platform, doing the final judgment.
Qin Zhen subconsciously took two steps back, he was not afraid that Fu Tianlei would feed him to the birds. But for this kind of venue where a powerful aura of death gathers, Qin Zhen doesn't know if he can handle it completely calmly.
However, the soldiers following behind Qin Zhen were not vegetarians, and when they saw Qin Zhen retreating, they immediately stopped him unceremoniously. And very violently pushed Qin Zhen to continue to walk forward, letting him walk into the heaven/burial ground.
Fu Tianlei stood proudly in the center of the heaven/burial ground with his hands behind his back. Qin Zhen took some heavy steps and walked towards him in the wind. Walking here, Qin Zhen would subconsciously look at his feet. For he was not sure if he was stepping on the flesh of the deceased, or the spirits of the dead.
Unexpectedly, it was very clean here, and it was not as bloody as Qin Zhen imagined. In fact, everyone may have had a curiosity about the sky/burial. However, the ceremonies of the heaven/burial are very sacred, and out of respect for the deceased, they are definitely not allowed to visit. So not everyone has the opportunity to get such a close-up look at this mysterious place.
In Qin Zhen's subconscious, there would probably be a tragic scene of rivers of blood flowing here. Blood seeps into the dirt, eroding every inch of the rocky ground for centuries. Maybe there will be wreckage or flesh everywhere, and it must be a bloody and horrible picture.
But when he really set foot on this extremely sacred place, Qin Zhen unexpectedly found that the entire Heaven/Burial Ground was not as he had imagined before. It's clean, and there are small mani piles piled up everywhere, as if that's the last prayer for the dead.
Merely...... The simple stretchers used to carry the deceased scattered around, as well as the scattered clothes around, still make people know where they are at the moment. On the edge of the area are long logs, the top of which holds the clothes of the deceased. Those clothes that have long been torn dance with the mountain wind, making people sigh that a life is passing away with the wind, and at the same time, there is a chill to the bone.
Qin Zhen seemed to suddenly understand at this moment how "well-intentioned" Fu Tianlei was in choosing such a special place.
The smell of death was everywhere here, and if Qin Zhen died here, and then was eaten by vultures, even the most professional trace examiners would have no way to find out where his bones were. This is a "sacred" corpse destruction with a different face.
And here, it is undoubtedly an obvious location for Mount Kinabalu. The site is open and vast, but it is absolutely closed. It is used to invite you into the urn, and the wisher is hooked, which is naturally the most suitable.
A huge vulture flew past Qin Zhen's side, and the wind from its wings was too big! Qin Zhen couldn't help but think that if these vultures really wanted to attack, then even if they didn't die, they would probably have to be buried alive.
However, there is a saying among the Tibetan people that all the vultures in the burial ground have their own name. They will not eat the bones until the Celestial/Undertaker calls them. And they don't hurt any of the small animals around them, except for the bones of the dead, and they don't attack people. So they are the Aquila, they are the sacred birds. It is a great honor to be eaten by them. It is only through them that the soul after death can attain heaven.
For such a belief and such an extreme funeral model, Qin Zhen didn't dare to say that he had any prejudice, but he felt an inexplicable fear and shock from the bottom of his heart.
In the heaven/burial, it is most auspicious for the vulture to eat the cleanest. The eagle is willing to eat, which means that this person has no sins in his life. If the Aquila really refuses to eat any of the left, it will have to be pretended again, chanted and cremated, so as to obtain ultimate salvation.
Looking at the hundreds of mighty and majestic vultures in the distance, Qin Zhen couldn't help but feel a burst of fear. If ordinary people think that the golden eagle or the bald eagle is very powerful, then it is better to take a look at the Tibetan eagle. When you see the vultures that eat human flesh in these days/burial grounds, you can appreciate what a real condor is...... That's not just because of their sheer size, but also because of their imposing presence.
Fu Tianlei turned around at this time and said to Qin Zhen, "What, are you scared?" You should thank me for letting you die in this holy way. Come here, and I'll take you to the real heaven/burial platform and tell you how you will experience the process of ascending to heaven. β
Fu Tianlei smiled faintly after speaking, as if he had already set a death sentence for Qin Zhen.
Just as he was about to move forward, Fu Tianlei suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "By the way, what you have to do now is to pray for two things." Either pray that these eagles will eat you alive, or ...... Just pray that Xia Yudong can find this place sooner. I don't have that much spare time, three days, you only have three days. Remembered. β
After speaking, Fu Tianlei turned around and strode towards the sky/burial platform. (To be continued......)
