"Evil Luohai City" is also known as "Ten Towns of Fear and Strength", it and "Gate of Disaster" are the only place names that exist in the ancient legends of Kunlun Mountain, which have never been recorded in the annals, but the legend is hidden in the deepest part of Kunlun Mountain. The ancient city in the mural of the tomb of the king may depict the city of Evil Luohai, but what is the connection between the lair of the northern demons and the bottomless ghost cave in the depths of the sand sea in Xinjiang? Is it possible to find the giant eyeball altar there? We don't know much for sure yet.

According to legend, the ancient and evil Evil Luohai City was also the same as the Exquisite Ancient City, which suddenly and mysteriously disappeared one night, so the powerful Demon Kingdom collapsed, and what disasters or changes happened there are still unknown.

I suddenly remembered what Zhang Yingchuan said: "In the end, there is a beginning, and when you meet the water, you can get the middle way." "The middle way refers to the golden mean, the right way, which can also be understood as the path of safety and security. The avalanche is overwhelming, and he is in a desperate situation, but he discovers an even more mysterious passage. This long and narrow slope leads to the deepest part of the Longding Glacier, where there may be lakes or dark rivers, and where there is water, there must be roads.

Everyone rested in this gentle slope for about half an hour, and because they were worried that it would not be safe near the demon tower, they set off and continued down. This frozen earth tunnel with earth steps extends in all directions underground, dense as a spider's web, we dare not take a fork in the road, only go down the main road in the middle, from time to time you can see some charms, imprints, including some eyeball patterns.

Shirley Yang said to me: "If the Reincarnation Sect only wants to dig through the Gate of Calamity, then there is no need to keep digging the tunnel into the nine-story demon tower, and depending on the condition in this tunnel, it was not built in the same period, it may have been built for hundreds or even thousands of years, which may be related to their belief that the abyss is the source of power." But have you ever wondered why the people of the Reincarnation Sect are digging up the Demon Tower? ”

I thought for a while and said, "This thing is really strange, the demon tower dedicated to the evil god is inviolable, could it be that the Reincarnation Sect wants to take out something important from it?" Aside from the Glacier Crystal Corps, what else would be in the tower? ”

We discussed it as we went, but we couldn't come up with a reason. After extending diagonally downward, the tunnel meets the vertical abyss, and although the ice wall is slightly inclined, in our eyes, this angle is no different from going straight up and down, and there is no way to go down.

The bottom of the ice abyss can already be seen here, and the pale blue fluorescence of countless stars in the deepest part converges into a shimmering river, meandering under the glacier, like looking backwards at the sky. Everyone couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful, it's like the Milky Way." ”

There may be crystals underneath, or there may be glowing creatures like jellyfish underwater, which is why such a fantastic spectacle appears.

There are some remnants of broken wood at the mouth of the tunnel, and hundreds of years ago, there was probably a wooden bridge that led to the bottom, but after a long time, it collapsed and collapsed. I visually measured the height, this is already the bottom of the glacier, about thirty meters away from the fluorescent river, this height, you can use a long rope to fall directly.

I told everyone that since there is living water, there must be a way out, and we can use the climbing rope to go down.

Uncle Ming objected, this ice wall is smoother than the mirror surface, and a fall of more than 30 meters can also break people, so it is too dangerous to find out if there is any other way, and it is too dangerous to slide down the ice wall with a rope.

The fat man looked down, and felt dizzy, and hurriedly agreed with Uncle Ming, be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Boat, there are so many branches in the tunnel behind, there must be other exits. Of course, I don't care about the fat man, even if I fall flat, I will be a good man in 20 years, but we are now helping the old and the young, and we are more concerned about Uncle Ming's safety.

I reminded the fat man and said, Commander Wang, don't stand in the wrong line, don't take shortcuts, you have to drill those tunnels, what if you get lost in them and can't turn out? Uncle Ming, we don't need to worry about their affairs, anyway, according to the previous agreement, the nine-story demon tower has also been dug up, and the glacier crystal corpse has also been found, and we will go our separate ways in the future, if we can stay alive, after returning to Beijing, we will settle the accounts again. Uncle Ming, when you go home, prepare all your antique toys, and we will not be polite when the time comes.

I just said this to scare and scare Uncle Ming, Uncle Ming was really worried that we would leave him and Ah Xiang here, and after thinking about it, it was possible to get out of this glacier with the three captains who touched Jin, and this operation lost all the troops and lost all the old capital, maybe in the "disaster gate" below, you can find something valuable. Of course, these must be preconditioned on survival, so it means that they must not be separated.

When I saw that Uncle Ming had been done, I started to prepare the rope, and the long rope was combined with the mountaineering pickaxe, and I lowered it first. On both sides of the river valley under the ice abyss, there are a lot of scattered black rotten wood, and a large number of iceberg crystal veins on the bank of the river reflect the light blue fluorescence in the river, which does not need to use any light source, and also has a certain visibility.

Seeing that there was no danger, I signaled for the people above to follow, and by the time the fat man was the last to slide down with a loud shout, it had been delayed for a long time. From digging the wooden tower, fighting the wolves, to the depths of the ice abyss, everyone only rested for less than half an hour, and it was inevitable that they would be hungry and hungry at this time.

Shirley Yang said to me: "I must find a place to rest for the night, so that Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang can recover their bodies, otherwise if we continue to walk, we will really be tired." ”

I nodded yes, and everyone looked for a place to camp nearby. The river here is very gentle, and the water quality is extremely clear, there are many freshwater jellyfish in the water, and the fluorescence is emitted by them, but although this creature looks beautiful, it is actually very dangerous, if it gathers in large numbers, its bioelectricity can paralyze large animals instantly. Shirley Young warned the crowd to stay away from the river as much as possible and to be careful not to touch the river.

The valley seemed to have no end, and after walking in the direction of the water, a cave was discovered under the cliffs covered with crystals, which naturally became the ideal place to camp.

The entrance to the cave is spacious and neat, and there are traces of manual chiseling. Turning on his flashlight, he looked into the cave, and a crystal light flickered. There are also a large number of transparent crystals in the cave, but they seem to be extremely tortuous and deep, and the depth cannot be seen clearly.

It wasn't like a wild beast haunt, but to be on the safe side, I took the fat man in front and went out to scout. After not going five or six steps into the cave, there is a turn, and the space behind it is about 20 square meters, and it seems that this place is indeed very suitable for camping.

The fat man and I held wolf eyes and shone around the cave, there were some old stone platforms on the ground, some white cow heads piled up in the corners, and there was a black humanoid wooden statue more than a foot high on the stone platform. My heart moved, this is a place of reincarnation worship, and this little black wooden figure seems to be the same as the "Black Tiger Xuantan" of the cult mentioned by the Iron Rod Lama.

I asked the fat man to call Ah Xiang and the others in, and let Ah Xiang see if there was anything unclean in this cave. Ah Xiang went into the cave and looked at it, no, dead, alive, nothing, and the little black wooden figure was nothing.

Since it was safe and everyone was very tired, there might not be a more suitable place than here to look any further, so they rested in the cave and made a fire to prepare food.

There are some natural holes in the innermost stone wall of this crystal cave, the size of a fist, but even children can't get in, so we plug these holes with stones to prevent snakes and insects from getting in.

Everyone gathered around the fire to eat, but Uncle Ming sighed and couldn't swallow, so he asked Ah Xiang to take out his ancestral porcelain cat with thirteen whiskers, shook his head incessantly, picked up a stone, and smashed the porcelain cat to pieces at once.

The fat man looked at it pitifully, and said to Uncle Ming: "If you don't want it anymore, you give it to me, this big cat is also hundreds of years old, right?" Fortunately, it's a thing, too, and it's a shame to smash it. If you want to smash things, when I broke the four olds, I smashed more than you, but now, don't you regret it a little? ”

I said to Uncle Ming: "I remember that not long ago you worshiped this porcelain cat, it is said that this thing is very effective, and its whiskers have not been broken, but why did we break so many hands in the demon tower?" Could it be that you didn't look at the yellow calendar and made a rush? ”

Uncle Ming sighed and told the truth: "People like me, who have been running for so many years, believe in these things the most, and are most afraid of those bad signs. In order to make a colorful head, this porcelain cat handed down from my ancestors was glued to death by me, and I kept breaking it. The more he talked, the more angry he became, as if he couldn't get along with himself, and waved his hand to push the broken porcelain cat to the wall.

Coincidentally, the porcelain cat's body was broken, but the cat's head was still intact, rolled to the wall, just facing Uncle Ming, under the firelight, the pair of cat's eyes were shining, as if they had become alive, which made Uncle Ming even more uncomfortable, and muttered a scolding: "The old porcelain cats are almost fine, I let you stare at me." As he spoke, he picked up the stone again, and tried to go over and smash the cat's head with the porcelain cat.

I wanted to stop Uncle Ming, why is this so hard, can I get angry with an object, but before I could speak, Uncle Ming's body suddenly froze and stood there motionless.

He had his back to us, I didn't know what he saw, and as soon as I waved, the fat man had already loaded his gun, and Shirley Yang pulled Ah Xiang into a corner a little farther away.

I stood up and saw Uncle Ming staring at the cat's head with straight eyes, so I asked Uncle Ming what was going on. Uncle Ming said tremblingly: "Brother Hu, there are snakes there, look over there." "When Uncle Ming was in Nanyang, he was bitten by a poisonous snake, so he was very afraid of poisonous snakes.

I thought to myself that I had checked it just now, where would there be snakes, and besides, what was there to be afraid of snakes, I looked in the direction that Uncle Ming pointed out, and it turned out that next to the head of the porcelain cat, there was a hole that I had blocked with a stone before, and the stone was shaking slightly, as if there was something to arch out of it.

I protected Uncle Ming behind me and pulled out the sapper shovel, whether it was a snake or a rat that came out of it, and then I slapped it flat. Shirley Yang and the others also raised their flashlights and shone here from behind.

The stone moved a few more times, and finally fell to the ground, and I picked up the sapper's shovel and patted it, but halfway down, it stopped abruptly -- not a snake, but a green branch of a plant, and in an instant a red flower the size of a sea bowl bloomed.

How do flowers grow here? I hadn't figured out what was going on, but I heard Ah Xiang suddenly scream from behind. I was so frightened by her screams that I almost threw the sapper shovel on the ground, I never thought that a woman would be so frightened that she would make such a noise.

Shirley Yang hurriedly asked Ah Xiang what was going on, did she see anything...... Stuff up.

Ah Xiang desperately hid back: "I...... I saw ...... growing out of the hole It was the corpse of a man, and there was a lot of blood on it. After speaking, he covered his eyes and didn't dare to look at the bright red flower anymore.

We trust Ah Xiang's eyes very much, and feel that having her by her side will save a lot of trouble, but this time I have to have some doubts, that bright red flower, although it looks strange, is definitely a plant, how can it be a corpse? The difference between the two is inevitably too big.

Only Uncle Ming had no doubts about Ah Xiang's words, but the fat man and I didn't believe it anymore, and we all turned our heads to look at Ah Xiang, what she said was inexplicable, where is the corpse? Where is there any human blood?

Shirley Young pointed to the red flower growing out of the stone hole and said to the crowd, "Look, it's bearing fruit." ”

I hurriedly looked at the red flower again, and before I turned my head, it had completed the whole process of flowering and fruiting. At the top of the tender green branch, there is a spherical fruit that looks like longan. Fat Man, Uncle Ming, and Shirley Yang and I are all people who have traveled from south to north and seen some strange things, but we have never seen such strange plants.

It seems that the hole in the stone wall was formed by the top of the plants growing inside. The hole is curved, so you can't see it directly, but there seems to be another space in the back, but what kind of place can grow plants without sunlight and moisture?

I put on my gloves and gently plucked the fruit, peeled off the hard shell on the outside, and immediately some dark red liquid flowed out of it, like rotten blood, and it stinked inward, and there was a small piece of minced meat in the middle, which looked like human flesh.

As soon as the fruit was plucked, the green branches withered in an instant, turning into a pile of gray dust. I hurriedly threw the piece of meat I was holding on the ground and said to everyone, "This eighty percent is the blood bait of the fruit of the living." ”

There is a secret art of Feng Shui called "Hua", which is a special case of the changes of yin and yang in Feng Shui. In the special place of feng shui shape shì, some special things will happen, what we call Longding Glacier, is a part of the local people called Shenluogou Glacier, although it is a rare low-altitude glacier in the world, but the jade peak is sandwiched, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it is a unique place in the Kunlun Mountains. Kunlun is the origin of the dragon veins in the world, and Shenluogou is the dragon top of the ancestral dragon. In fact, the cave eyes where anger gathers are not unique to ancestral dragons, but they are extremely rare. It is precisely because of the excessive vitality that the corpses buried in some special places on the top of the dragon will die and be immortal. The immortal corpses in the extremely angry land are called "Xuanwu Giant Corpses", and some strange changes will even occur in the caves and underground there, such as the "Fruit of the Living" that constantly grows "blood bait".

We are now at the bottom of the ice abyss, just over a thousand meters above sea level, and there is basically no ice anymore, and there are crystal veins everywhere. The Black Tiger Xuantan found here should be a facility such as a divine stove, which was built by the reincarnation sect of later generations after the destruction of the demon kingdom, and was mainly used to worship the evil gods in the demon tower.

I thought that the small black wooden figure was a symbol of some kind of god, but I ignored the big difference between Tantric Feng Shui and Qing Wu Shucun. In the mainland, it may be enough to have a statue of a god, but now that I think about it, the Samsara Sect may really get such a corpse to sacrifice and confirm the miracle of its immortality in this place where life gathers.

I explained these things to Shirley Young and the others, it is necessary to find the entrance to the space behind the cave, go in and explore, and if you are lucky, you may be able to find clues about the city of Evil Luo Hai or the gate of calamity, and at least go forward, and you don't have to be embarrassed like a blind man touching an elephant.

I also told Uncle Ming that this kind of place is very angry, and there will be no danger, although rest assured, if you don't want to go with you, then stay here with Ah Xiang and wait for us to come back.

Uncle Ming is now leaning on me and the fat man like the Great Wall, where is he willing to take half a step away, so he has to agree to take Ah Xiang with him. So everyone rummaged through the cave, hoping to find out what kind of secret passage could lead to the space behind which the fruit of the birth would grow.

Uncle Ming asked me: "Only one thing is unknown, before I entered Tibet, I also did a lot of homework on Tantric Feng Shui, when the Demon Kingdom built the Demon Tower, Tantra had not yet formed a feng shui theory, and it was inevitable that the acupoints would not be accurate." Looking at the location of this Black Tiger Xuan Altar, it seems to correspond to the nine-story demon tower, is this really the most angry Ji Cave? In case of a slight deviation, catch up with some demon cave or ghost cave, wouldn't we go to death in vain? ”

I thought to myself, Uncle Ming, this old fritter, and I wanted to retreat, so I coped with it and said to him: "Although the theory of feng shui is only available in later generations, since there are mountains and rivers, its shape is objectively existing, and future generations are nothing more than processing and sorting it, summarizing it, and inserting a name or something." This large area of Longding is the source of the dragon veins in the world, and there is a condensation of vitality everywhere, where there will be any strange holes, so don't bewitch the public. The fat man and I are both hard-hearted, and when we grow so big, we don't know what fear is, and you can only scare Ah Xiang when you say that. ”

Uncle Ming was bored, so he had to step aside and say no more. We removed the stone platforms one by one, and finally found a low passage behind a stone platform against the wall, and in it was a semi-circular slope that went around the top of the inner cave. The crowd put on gas masks and bent down into the passage.

This passage is not very long, half a circle, you will see a larger dome cave, about more than 100 square meters, the exit is a suspended semi-natural platform, looking down at the pitch black, you can't see the bottom.

Actually, I also surmised that it was blood bait from the flower that grew human flesh, but other than that, I didn't know much about this kind of thing, because no one had ever seen it, and I didn't know if it would be dangerous. However, I have never done anything to retreat, and if I don't find out this secret and exhaust it, I will definitely regret it in the future.

The corpse of the blood bait seemed to be down there. It was quiet, and there was no movement except the sound of our breathing.

Because the light on the helmet was difficult and far away, everyone leaned over the stone platform, trying to use the wolf's eyes to explore the terrain, but the beam of the flashlight only shone on the dense blood bait red flowers under the platform. The plants are very dense, and the branches cling to the walls like creepers, and everything in the depths is obscured.

I whispered to Ah Xiang and asked her to look down from the stone platform to see if she could find the rhizome of the blood bait, which should be where the Xuanwu giant corpse is.

With Shirley Yang's encouragement, Ah Xiang looked at us boldly and nodded at us in confirmation. She saw through the gap in the blood bait saffron that there was a tall human figure underneath, and all the plants had grown from the corpse, that is, those blood bait were part of the corpse.

There may have been a sacrificial pit for the corpses underneath, and there must have been other sacrifices, so he asked the fat man to find a few fluorescent tubes and throw them down, illuminate the terrain, and see if there was a place to stay.

The fat man had long planned to go down to look for valuable weapons, and when he heard me say this, he immediately threw down seven or eight blue glow sticks, and the platform was immediately illuminated by blue light, and countless blood-red flowers were densely scattered at the bottom of the cave, and many of them had already grown blood bait fruits. Looking down from above, it looks like a flowerbed, but the color of this flower is monotonous, and the blue fluorescence sets off it, which looks gloomy and heavy, as if they are fake flowers made of dark paper, and there is no beauty at all.

At the edge of the flowers, there is a square boulder weighing 1,000 catties, which is built up with a neat piece of iceberg crystal stone, we are far away, and the surface of the boulder has climbed a lot of blood bait safflower, and can only see some stone carvings such as symbols and graphics from the gaps, and under the boulder, there is a mahogany coffin, and a big hole is broken on the oncoming block.

How could there be such a coffin in such a place? I thought the huge square iceberg crystal was quite strange, and I was going to go down from the platform to see what was going on. Just about to move, my wrist suddenly tightened, and Ah Xiang next to me grabbed my hand tightly, her eyes were full of horror, I didn't need to say it, I also knew that she must have seen something again.

Shirley Yang seemed to hear something, put his index finger to his lips, and made a silent gesture to everyone. I immediately dismissed the idea of going down immediately, lay down on the stone platform with bated breath, turned off all light sources on my body with the others, and quietly watched what was happening below.

The few glow sticks that had just been thrown down had not been extinguished, and it was estimated that the light would last for about two minutes, only to hear a slight sound coming from the crack in the stone below...... The puppy -- I can't describe it, I can only say that the shape of this thing is very similar to a "puppy" with green hair -- crawling out of the crack in the stone slowly. This thing has no eyes, perhaps living in the underground world for many years, its eyes and sense of smell have deteriorated, and it has not noticed changes in its surroundings, nor has it noticed that there are people on the stone platform.

It continued to devour the blood bait fruit, and was very greedy, and as it gnawed along the way, the red flowers that had lost the fruit withered and turned to ashes, and soon a male corpse more than two meters tall was revealed below.

I could see my heart beating faster from there, what the hell was that? Just as I was about to look again, the glow of the glowstick gradually dimmed and disappeared into the darkness. I suddenly felt itching on the back of my hand, and when I touched it with my hand, I suddenly felt bad, like a bud of a plant had grown.
