I knew that I had done something beyond my duty, and after seeing the expression of the fifth master, I felt a little uneasy, knowing that some things had changed unconsciously.

When I heard the fat man's joking question, I shook my head and said that I was fine, but I was indeed a little unhappy in my heart, so I raised my head and asked the fat man, "Brother, no matter what happens, you will be on my side, right?" ”

When the fat man heard my inexplicable question, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Lao Zheng, are you stupid?" How can such a stupid question be asked? No matter what happens, of course I'm on your side, don't you think the same way? Wouldn't you be on my side no matter what happens to me? ”

When I heard the fat man ask me, I immediately gave the answer, "Of course." Then he silently recited in his heart, "Even if you are the enemy of the whole world, you will not give up." But I was afraid that after this sentence blurted out, the fat man would laugh at me for sensationalism, so I just said it silently in my heart.

The two of us soon walked to the north side of the inside of the tower, and I turned around to find that the fifth master did not follow, he was whispering to Kun Ba. And the playboy was taking care of the groggy Ge Laozhu, and he didn't follow. The chubby man in black and the man with a small face, because he had to stay by Kunba's side, although he was full of curiosity, he could only stretch his neck to look here.

I smiled bitterly, and then looked at Captain Chen and the others, and saw that everyone was looking up and looking up, so I put Tianyu down on the ground and let her lean on my body, and then I looked up. Five or six members of the South-West Expedition. Reaching out and climbing up the two-meter-high stairs, he was using his flashlight to check the niche above the tower.

Because I had been taking a rough look at the tower from a distance just now, I didn't find that there was a niche on the tower. Right now. Under the close-up inspection of the bright lights, it was found that there were a circle of niches on the top of the tower, the horizontal distance between each other was about half an arm's width, and the upper and lower intervals were more than one meter long, forming a circle of rings, extending upwards and continuously topping, and the number was too numerous to count.

And what's even more amazing is that. In a half-window-sized arched alcove, human skulls are neatly displayed. The eye socket of the black hole, in the dimness. Telling the endless sorrow, I couldn't help but fight a cold war.

I looked closely, and the flashlight of everyone above was shining in the niche in front of me. They all have the same human skulls inside. Countless densely packed horror skulls. The black ancient pagoda that makes people dizzy and frightened to look at is more and more terrifying, like the "Kunlun Magic Tower" in Captain Chen's mouth.

Whether the Kunlun Magic Tower is indeed true is unknown. But the frozen black tower in front of him was unusually weird and terrifying. I don't understand why the original solemn ancient tower has such strange furnishings in the alcove. But then I thought of a possibility. "Sacrifice".

But for a moment of thought, I had another idea: the inside of the black stupa is different. There is no meditation room where monks live, and it is a hollow room that goes straight through, so the only function I can think of is "tower burial".

The tower burial, also known as the "spiritual pagoda burial", is to take out the internal organs of the deceased through the mouth or anus, and then use spices for embalming, and then according to the status of the deceased before his death, he is enshrined in the spiritual pagoda made of gold, silver, copper, wood or clay.

There are three ways to bury the tower, one is to cremate the body, and then bury the ashes in the brick tower, which is the most common way to bury the tower; In the second case, the urn or part of the remains, such as the skull, humerus, femur, etc., are placed in the "tower bottle" called the "spirit pagoda"; The third is to place the whole body that has been treated with medicine and the deceased's pre-mortem supplies in the "tower bottle".

Tower bottles: Tower-shaped bottles, mostly made of porcelain and glass. Some of the vases are so large that they can fit the whole corpse into them, and attach coral gems, gold, silver, tin flowers, and other very delicate and valuable decorations to the outside of the tower.

I've learned something else about the mysterious Black Tower, and I'm not alone. After Captain Chen saw the skull in the circle of alcoves, he said to his son standing beside him, "Tower burial." Then he turned his head and shouted behind him: "Erlang, come here." ”

A young man with a pale face immediately walked to Captain Chen's side, "Master Chen, are you calling me something?" ”

Captain Chen raised his hand and pointed to the skull in the alcove on the tower and said, "Open your eyes to the sky, is the skull on this weird?" ”

When the pale-faced man heard this, he immediately took two steps forward, then closed his eyes, and stood quietly in front of the tower, as if he had settled down.

Captain Chen waved his hand at the people around him and motioned for everyone to step back. I pulled the fat man backwards to the side, and the fat man looked at the mysterious man in front of him and said, "Lao Zheng, that kid's face is whiter than yours, it's really a veritable little white face." ”

I heard the fat man ridiculing the white-faced man, so I whispered to the fat man, "Don't underestimate him." I just heard Captain Chen say that he has a heavenly eye. ”

The fat man asked me for some reason, "What is the eye of the sky?" ”

When I first heard about this, I was very amazed at the pale-faced man, but I didn't expect this white-faced young man named Erlang to have such an amazing talent, so he explained to the fat man: "Tianyan, also called "Tianyantong". Referring to the supernatural powers obtained through guò meditation, Arhats and Bodhisattvas have the true heavenly eye that does not retreat, and can see hell, heavenly palaces, ghosts and gods, the vast world, and so on. Mortals can open the eyes of heaven through guò "yitong" and "sutong", yitong refers to: through guò some kind of witchcraft and other methods, you can see ghosts, gods and ordinary people can't see places; Sutong refers to the "Heavenly Eye" of induction obtained after practicing in the past life and in the present life. ”

Just now I heard that Captain Chen called the man with a pale face "Erlang", which should have quoted "Yang Erlang", that is, the name of Erlang God. In myths and legends, Erlang Shentong guò "Yuding Zhenren" guided him to learn to control the Tianyan, and the Tianyan erected on the forehead became the symbol of Erlang God, and the Tianyan is also called "Tianmu". Therefore, Jiro may not be the real name of the pale man, but a nickname.

The Heavenly Eye is also known as the "Soul Snatching Eye" in Taoism, but because it consumes yang energy and thus compromises yang longevity, ordinary cultivators will not practice this method, and even if someone learns this method by chance, they will not abuse it casually.

Ordinary people can also practice the Heavenly Eye, but there are some inhumane aspects of this method. The method is: the newborn baby has been put in the dark to live, and when the baby grows up, it will lead to photophobia and even blindness, but then it will see ghosts and monsters that ordinary people can't see in places with heavy yin qi.

This man, who was called Erlang by Captain Chen, was obviously abnormally white, it could be said that there was no blood, as white as a blank piece of paper, as if he had never been exposed to the sun, he looked quite unhealthy, and it may be related to his heavenly eye.

Out of curiosity, I couldn't help but whisper to Captain Chen about Erlang, and learned that Erlang was really just a nickname. Because the inverted fighting craftsmen, generally outside, only use the name of the rivers and lakes, and few people communicate with each other.

It is said that this Erlang is a person from Xiangxi and is a natural "fetal element". Fetal vegetarian: It refers to some cultivators, because of the relationship between the karma of successive lives and the vegetarian diet, when they come to reincarnate again, they are still in the womb of their mother, and they cannot tolerate their mother's eating of meat and fishy food. If the mother wants to eat meaty food, it will cause her to be upset and even vomit, and only by eating a vegetarian diet can she swallow it smoothly. After birth, such a baby will naturally become a vegetarian and will not choose meat, and when he grows up, he will also have his natural karma to behave in the world.

Therefore, the Tianyan that was supposed to be closed when the innocence was extinguished, but it has been accompanied by Erlang of the fetus until now, and has been very stable, and can be controlled as you like, unlike the "Yitong" opened by some cultivators, which will come and go, and the Tianyan is quite unstable. It is precisely because Erlang is a genius that everyone calls him the three-eyed "Yang Erlang", and he has a title like Erlang. After the doubts in my heart were answered, I looked at Erlang with a pale face with admiration. At this time, he suddenly opened his eyes slowly, turned back to Captain Chen and said, "Master Chen, there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Captain Chen smiled and nodded, and then said to Erlang, "It's hard work." Then she tapped him on the shoulder and told him to step aside and rest.

I saw that Erlang didn't have a third eye on his forehead, only a head full of cold sweat, and his face became more and more pale, as if he was about to pass out.

Erlang was helped to the side to rest, and I said in my heart: The heavenly eye on his forehead should not be visible to ordinary people.

Captain Chen walked up to the tower again, and then said to me, "Brother Sven, there is nothing strange about the skull on here, should we go up to the top to take a look, maybe there is a treasure hidden in the treasure temple, or there is a way to get out of here." ”

Outside the hole at the base of the Black Tower, there is still a white and bleak mist, and I can't leave it anymore, go up to the tower to find an exit, this is the idea I agree with, and it is also the next thing that must be done.

However, the wooden staircase above the tower is very tattered, and it is difficult for people to stand on it. Moreover, he is not the leader of the Northern Western Expeditionary Team, like this case, he should let the Fifth Master come forward to discuss, if he agrees at will, it will be an obvious act of overstepping his authority.

So I smiled and said to Captain Chen, "I have to discuss this matter with my fifth brother first." Captain Chen, you wait here for a while, and I'll call him over. After speaking, he didn't give Captain Chen time to answer, so he immediately turned around, walked quickly in front of Fifth Master Cha, and said to him: "Fifth brother, Captain Chen has something to discuss with you."
