As we stood on the ice and looked down, it seemed that the cirque was not a product of nature, and the frozen corpses in the ice walls were all in a mysterious pose, standing and looking down at the diagonal bottom. The fat man smiled and scolded after seeing it: "Don't forget to pick up your wallet when you die." ”

I waved my hand at them, don't talk about it, I have to hurry down and rescue Han Shuna, no matter how you look at it, this ice cave is full of evil spirits, and it is definitely not a good place.

So everyone hurriedly lowered the rope, and I picked up the ice chisel and dragged the rope into the ice cave, and then Shirley Yang followed. The two of us didn't care about looking at the dead people in the ice walls around us, and hurriedly checked Han Shuna's injuries first, there were no obvious external injuries on her body, but there were a few shallow scratches on her face from the ice, and the person just passed out.

I took out saltpeter and wiped it on the end of her nose, and Han Shuna immediately sneezed and came to her senses. I asked her if she was hurt, Han Shuna shook her head, it turned out that her shoes were loose just now, she lowered her head and retied them, and she had distanced herself from everyone. When Han Shuna caught up, she deviated from the route with one foot, stepped on the ice shell and fell in. It was dark here, so she turned on a flashlight to light it up, and then prepared to send a signal for help, but before she could speak, she found that she was surrounded by ancient ice corpses, although she usually came into contact with many ancient corpses, but in this special environment, she was unprepared, and she was scared and fainted.

I saw that Han Shuna was not injured, so I put my mind at ease and looked at the corpses in the ice around me with a wolf-eye flashlight, not like the bronze man I saw in the Heavenly Palace of the Tomb of King Xian. These corpses may have been frozen in the ice wall when they were alive, fresh as life, layer by layer, standing full, it is difficult to estimate the number, but there are no less than dozens of corpses that can be seen, although they are all dressed in ancient clothes and crowns, but they are not the costumes of the demon kingdom.

Shirley Yang hooked Han Shuna and hung it quickly, ready to let Uncle Ming and the others pull her up on it, and when the two of them lowered their heads to prepare, they suddenly exclaimed in surprise and jumped backwards respectively, as if they saw a poisonous snake on the ground.

I hurriedly looked down and shone my flashlight on the flat, smooth ice underground. I saw a hazy black figure inside, curled up and curled up in a ball, lying sideways in the ice frozen in the ground, and at a cold glance, I thought it was a frozen oversized shrimp.

I said to Shirley Young, "What's so scary about this? It's just a frozen dead man, but how can he pose in such a strange pose? ”

Shirley Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't see what was down there at all, I was taken aback by Sister Han just now." ”

Han Shuna said: "Just now, when I saw the figure below, it seemed to be curled up in a ball, I thought of the appearance of a fetus, but suddenly I thought of how there is such a big fetus in the world, so I was so frightened that I jumped backwards. ”

I asked Han Shuna to go up first, it won't help me here, I can only add to the chaos. After she went up, I discussed with Shirley Yang in the ice bucket, this may be the tomb of the reincarnation religious master. The glacier where the evil god and demon tower is buried must be a holy place in the eyes of the followers of the reincarnation sect in later generations, and their successive sect masters and believers are probably buried here after their deaths, and this ice cirque is one of them. The black shadow curled up underground was probably one of the sect leaders, and these people around him were the believers accompanying the burial. There are nine-story demon towers surrounded under the glacier, and I don't know how many such ice cave tombs there are, so you might as well dig up the corpse of the sect leader under the ice and see what information is in his burial goods.

When the two of them had finished their discussions, they climbed back from the cirque and told everyone about their plans. Where we are now, it can be said that the glaciers of the four snowy peaks meet, forming a large thick and deep tongue of ice. The terrain here is uneven, the ice ditch and ice crevices are vertical and horizontal, because the Tantra did not even have a formed feng shui theory when the demon tower was built, so it is impossible to use the method of dividing the gold and fixing the acupoint, and it is better to dig the tomb of the reincarnation religion first, so as to determine the exact location of the demon tower.

Uncle Ming and the others have no experience in this area, so naturally I can say what it is. The arrangement was completed, and a wind horse flag was planted next to the cirque just now as a sign, and a tent was set up on the spot, and Peter Huang and the guide Chu Yi were responsible for guarding to prevent the wolves from sneaking in. Uncle Ming and Han Shuna were in charge of the food and drink of the expedition, and I took Ah Xiang, Shirley Yang and Fat Man, and after eating, I went into the ice cirque to start work.

At this time, it was getting late, and in the distant forest, there were bursts of wolf howls, and it seemed that the wolf king had also gathered the wolves and followed. When I heard the wolf's howl, I remembered Doctor Gema, gritted my teeth with hatred, and told the junior high school and the others to be on guard, and then carried the equipment and went down to the ice cirque.

Uncle Ming hung fluorescent lights on it, he was a veteran of the ancient corpse, and when he saw a corpse with such a strange posture under the ice, he was also curious, maybe he could dig up a priceless glacier crystal corpse, so he watched it with Han Shuna.

It is much more convenient to take Ah Xiang with her than to light a candle, but Ah Xiang is very timid, in order to prevent her from being stupid and unable to speak, we still light a butter candle in the southeast corner according to the old rules.

The fat man poured ginger juice into an air pressure watering can as I said, sprayed the ice on the ground a few times, and then all he had to do was wait for the ginger juice to penetrate in.

The corpses frozen in the surrounding ice walls all looked down at the ice we were about to dig up, as if a group of people were surrounding us, staring coldly without saying a word. The fat man said that this is too awkward, or let's find a piece of cloth to block the ice walls around here, it really makes people's hearts furious.

I said to the fat man: "You're not a big girl, and you're afraid of being looked at, so it's good that those dead bodies don't exist......" Although I said this, I also felt that this ice cirque was very evil, I had never seen this way of burial, and the tomb owner did not have a coffin, and it was frozen under like a prawn, and it was really hard to say what would be dug up later.

Shirley Yang probably saw that I was a little hesitant, so he said to me, "The Reincarnation Sect retains a lot of the cult traditions of the Demon Kingdom. In the Hero King rap poem, the Demon Kingdom is a country that worships the abyss and caves, and the surrounding mourners make a posture looking down on the abyss, which is probably related to their religious beliefs, so there is no need to make a fuss. ”

At this time, the ginger juice has almost penetrated, we use the ice chisel wind drill to excavate, ginger juice is the nemesis of ice, ten thousand years of ice can be easily solved, this ice layer is not very thick, not long, dig out a square ice sheet, and then there is no ice below. We found swim bladders stuck under the ice, and the carcasses were wrapped in them.

When they saw the corpse, everyone felt a little surprised, Ah Xiang was so frightened that her whole body trembled, Shirley Yang had to hug her and ask her if she had found anything, Ah Xiang shook her head, just felt that this corpse was too terrifying.

I turned my head to look at the candle, which was burning normally, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong, so I calmed down and watched the corpses emerge from under the ice. Before breaking the ice, what I saw was a black shadow, but at this time, the corpse was very huge, and the whole body was white, not the long white hair of the corpse, but like a thick layer of hard cocoons all over the body, and the white cocoon shell fell off in a few places, revealing the golden light inside, which seemed to be full of gold.

The corpse is huddled in a ball with his hands on his knees, which may also be related to the teachings of the Samsara sect, which is that after death, reincarnation will take place, so the deceased is placed in the position of returning to the mother's womb as a fetus.

Uncle Ming could also see it clearly: "Wow, this is a snow-capped mountain mummy, it's terrible, it's terrible, it's terrible, this snow-capped mountain golden-bodied mummy is worth more than one million...... It's just that the age is too recent, and if it were a little longer, it would be almost the same as the glacier crystal corpse. ”

I looked up and asked Uncle Ming, "What is the Snow Mountain Golden Mummy?" "None of us know as much about these "bone" as Uncle Ming and his mistress.

In order to see more clearly, Uncle Ming also went down to the ice cirque. Uncle Ming looked at it with a magnifying glass for a long time, reached out and touched the white cocoon shell of the corpse, and licked his fingers: "It's not wrong, it's definitely a snow-capped golden-mummy." ”

The treatment of this type of corpse is very complicated, first the deceased is placed in a specific position, placed in a sarcophagus, filled with marsh salt, left for about three months, waiting for the salt to completely inhale all parts of the body, replacing all the water in the corpse, and then coating a layer of cement-like substance, which is made of sandalwood, spices, clay and various medicines.

The substance then solidifies and hardens, so that all the sunken or wrinkled parts of the corpse, such as the eyes, cheeks, and stomach, swelled up on their own to form natural and harmonious proportions, and then a layer of molten patent leather is applied to the outside, which is called the gold body, and finally a layer of marsh salt is wrapped. Only those of very high status are eligible for such treatment.

The fat man and I were stupid, I didn't expect that there would be such a complicated process of making zongzi, Uncle Ming said let's move the snow mountain mummies up. But as soon as we started to move, we found that we could not move, and the corpse was frozen into one with the ice below, extremely strong, and we shone it deep with a flashlight, and there seemed to be a lot of things under the ice, but we couldn't see clearly through the ice.

So I took out the watering can again, sprayed the ginger juice on the ice, waited for a while, and estimated that it was almost over, so I hit it with an ice chisel. Unexpectedly, along the ice layer pierced by the ice drill, a long huge blue pillar of fire suddenly appeared, and with a screaming sound that pierced the eardrum, it jumped straight into the sky from the deepest part of the cirque.

According to the Sutras of Samsara Buddhism, the blue flame is different from other flames, and the Samsara sect calls it "immeasurable karmic fire", which is a fire that is said to burn the soul to ashes. No one expected that under the golden mummy of this snow-capped mountain, there would be such an ancient and vicious trap.

Fortunately, the fat man's eyes were quick, and at the moment when the flames sprayed up, he pushed Uncle Ming away, and Shirley Yang and I also dragged Ah Xiang backwards to dodge. Everyone shrank into the corner of the ice cave, only to feel that the tip of their tongue was dry, as if the water in their whole body was evaporating sharply.

The sharp whistling sound of immeasurable karmic fire erupting upwards sounded particularly thrilling in the narrow and cramped ice cave. I can't do anything now, I can only hope that this ghost fire will be exhausted, and if there is no fresh air coming in, no one will be able to support it for long.

The whistling sound of immeasurable karmic fire finally stopped, and they looked at each other, fortunately, no one was injured, only Uncle Ming did not wear a mountaineering helmet, and in the panic just now, his head was hit by the ice wall, but fortunately there was no major problem.

The golden-bodied mummy in the ice cave has been burned into a cloud of black charcoal by immeasurable karmic fire, and everyone is frightened, and they have no intention of looking at it again.

It may be that the wolves took advantage of the darkness to touch it, but why didn't anyone shoot? I didn't think much about it, so I climbed onto the ice first, only to see Peter Huang and Chu Yi rushing to rescue Han Shuna. When I took a closer look, my heart suddenly sank, and Han Shuna's face was burned by immeasurable karmic fire. Maybe she was leaning down to look down at that time, but she happened to be burned to her face by immeasurable karmic fire, her nose, eyes, lips were also burned, and only two rows of bare teeth and a pitch-black tongue were left on her charcoal-like face, which was very scary.

Han Shuna fell to the ground, motionless, and Chu Yi shook her head at me, it seemed that she died on the spot.

When I saw Han Shuna die so miserably, I also felt gloomy, so I took a blanket and covered the body, so as not to let Uncle Ming see this tragic situation and be unacceptable.

At this time, Uncle Ming and the others also climbed up one after another, looked at a few of us, and then looked at the corpse covered with a blanket on the ground, and just wanted to ask where his wife was, but found the big curly hair exposed under the blanket. Han Shuna's face burned away, but the immeasurable karmic fire avoided her hair. As soon as Uncle Ming looked at his hair, he already knew what was going on, shook it twice, and almost fainted, but Peter Huang hurriedly held him up.

I gave Shirley Yang a look and asked her to take Ah Xiang to the tent first, although I don't know how Ah Xiang and her godmother are in relationship, but with her courage, seeing the faceless corpse, she has to be scared of something.

I couldn't bear to see Uncle Ming sad too much, but I couldn't think of how to persuade him, so I had to call Chu Yi aside and discuss with him if I could bring Uncle Ming, Ah Xiang, and Peter Huang back first.

Chu Yi was embarrassed and said, Brother Duji, I'm afraid I can't leave if I want to go now. Look at how thick the clouds are in the sky, we are in the Karamir Pass, and we see those black-necked waterfowl flying away, it seems that there is really a cold wave coming. There are four seasons on a snowy mountain, and the weather becomes too fast for anyone to predict, and only on days of the year when the wind speed is low and there is no rain or snow can you enter the glacier. May is the most suitable month, it is now the middle of September, and it is also an auspicious time, but the weather on the snowy mountains cannot be speculated with reason, the weather changes when it is said, and within two hours, heavy snow will fall.

Although the mountains are not covered by heavy snow, the topography of Longding Glacier is very complex, and it may have been a huge mountain lake in ancient times, hence the name of the Sea of Calamity. Later, after the Himalayan orogeny, the altitude increased, the temperature decreased, and the whole lake evolved into a large glacier, coupled with occasional avalanches, which made the glacier thicker and thicker, and the terrain inside became more and more complex.

In the summer, a very thick layer of glaciers will melt, and the thickness of the ice will be reduced a lot, so Han Shuna will step on an ice cirque. This does not happen during the season when the temperature is low. And now in the Longding Glacier, many criss-crossing ice crevasses, ice drains, and ice cirque have been exposed.

It's okay to say that there is no snow when you come in, but once there is a cold wave in the mountains, the snow will fall all over the world, and in less than two or three hours, the glacier will be covered, and the fragile places under the ice will not freeze solidly, and it will be finished if you fall. Even the most experienced guides would not dare to lead the team into danger at this time, not to mention that the wolves had followed into the mountains, and if something happened, they would definitely come and take advantage of the fire, and if they wanted to go back, they had to wait until the snow stopped and the glacier was completely frozen before leaving.

I was talking to the first year of the year, and I felt a cold on my face, and the snow was already falling while I was talking, so I hurriedly went back to gather everyone and explained the current situation. If you want to leave, you will need to wait at least two days, and I and the fat man and Shirley Yang have already made up our minds to break the boat, and we will never stop until we dig the demon tower of the evil god of the demon country, let alone snow, and we will not retreat if we get off the knife.

Uncle Ming was in tears, saying something he and Han Shuna really love each other, what mountains have never left their side, and they often wake up in front of the bed. The fat man and I thought he was too sad and began to talk nonsense, and we were trying to persuade him to rest and rest, but I didn't expect Uncle Ming to suddenly say: "You can't lose your wife and break the army, this time it's hard, and you won't go back if you don't dig up the glacier crystal corpse." "Then he asked us that if he had any accidents, he would make sure that we brought Ah Xiang back.

I saw that Uncle Ming was obsessed, and he had nothing to say, thinking that I and the fat man with the big gold tooth were not like this. Many times, the reason why success will be successful, is not a lack of resourcefulness, nor is it not a lack of courage, in fact, it is just the interests that make people's minds dizzy, although they all understand this truth, but put themselves in their shoes, when it is really their turn, no one can remember this truth, after all, they are all mortals, no one has a pair of Buddha eyes that can see the eternal from beginning to end, and we were too poor before.

By the time we were done, it was nearly midnight, and the snow was starting to fall heavily, and the howl of wolves in the distance was faint and faint in the snow. We put Han Shuna's body next to the camp and covered it with a blanket, and Fat Man and Peter Huang were responsible for digging some ice bricks and piling them up on the edge of the tent to keep out the wind and prevent the wolves from sneaking up.

Shirley Young and I descended into the cirque again, hoping to find some clues to the location of the Nine-Story Demon Tower, and hopefully dig it up before it gets dark tomorrow.

In the tombs of the demon kingdom, there is a kind of transparent ladybug called Dapu by Tantra, and those who approach it will be burned to ashes by immeasurable karmic fire. Before we entered Tibet, we had already thought of a countermeasure, on this cold plateau, the water in the kettle would soon freeze and become unusable, and the pneumatic watering can filled with ginger juice was enough to extinguish the ghost fire of Dapu.

However, in this ice cave where the golden body of the reincarnation religion lord is placed, a huge blue pillar of fire suddenly appeared unexpectedly. After Shirley Yang's inspection, this pillar of fire may be an ancient mechanism, and the Demon Kingdom's Ghost Fire Reincarnation Sect will not use it, but it will only imitate that immeasurable karmic fire to create an artificial fire-breathing machine. Under the golden body is a sealed space, which contains a large number of secret medicines, and the absolute closed environment accumulated over the years makes the secret medicine mix with the stagnant air inside, forming a special gas, touching the golden body mummy of the snow-capped mountain, and the ice will cause it to burn as soon as it breaks. The owner of the tomb would rather have his body burned to ashes than be disturbed by outsiders.

In the deepest part of the ice cave, behind the ice wall melted by the flames, there was a larger ice cave, and we found a hidden ice chamber inside, apparently used to store the burial utensils of the Sect Master. There is a three-story spiritual pagoda in the center, symbolizing the heavens, the underground, and the earth, the spiritual pagoda is one and a half meters high, all of which are made of gold, and are inlaid with various pearls, and all the treasures are strictly decorated, and the brilliance is dazzling.

Shirley Young placed a few fluorescent tubes around the perimeter for lighting, and I used my vaginal claw to pry open the tower door. In the middle layer of the Spirit Pagoda, there are more than a dozen talisman treasure boxes similar to Gawu, as well as treasures such as red and white coral, marble, and agate. The lower part represents the basement layer, which is full of grain, tea, salt, dried fruits, medicinal herbs and other things. On the upper floor, there is a set of gold silk robes, as well as hollowed-out carvings.

We see the carved lacquer painting at the top of the spiritual pagoda, similar to the silver eye mural of the reincarnation temple in the Guge ruins, using a strange beast to indicate the bearing coordinates, and there is a naked translucent woman in the middle, which should be the glacier crystal corpse. From the location of this burial mausoleum tower, as well as the description in the ancient scriptures, the demon tower dedicated to the evil god is just west of this ice cirque, no more than thirty meters away. On the Longding Glacier, there are hundreds, or even hundreds, of the tombs of the leaders of the reincarnation sect, and what we have found is only one of them. These tombs are arranged according to the star chart of Tantra, guarding the nine-story demon tower left by the Demon Kingdom since ancient times. There is no need to look any further, with this one reference, and with the records in the scriptures, we will definitely find the ultimate goal tomorrow.

The walls of this ice chamber are carved with the images of many evil spirits, and it seems that the treasures in the pagoda are cursed. According to my meaning, it doesn't matter if there are too many lice, and if there are too many accounts, it doesn't matter if you pour out all these treasures, but at the moment of major events, we don't have the heart to care about these yellow and white things, so Shirley Yang and I put the spiritual pagoda as it is, and returned to the glacier.

I let everyone take turns to rest, and the guide and I were on the first shift. The two of us lay behind the ice wall, observing the movement around us and drinking to keep warm. The wolf trail that loomed not long ago was completely covered by the wind and snow at this time, and the first year said that if the wolves did not attack tonight, they might have retreated to the forest to avoid the snow.

When I saw that Chu Yi was very familiar with wolf nature, and heard him say that he had served as the leader of the Karamir wolf fighting team, I couldn't help but be a little curious, so I asked him.

Chu Yi talked about his previous experience, before liberation, his family had been working for the head man for generations, and when he was a child, when he was seven years old, wolves bit dozens of sheep to death at a time. This phenomenon was very abnormal, and the leader thought that someone had offended the mountain god, so he skinned his grandfather alive, and took the first day to worship the god, and then his family fled to Karamir, thousands of miles away, to settle down. On the way, his father was also killed by a team of horses catching up......

Every time he said a paragraph on the first day of junior high school, he had to be silent for a long time, and when I saw that he didn't want to say much, I didn't ask any more questions. At this time, the night was already deep, the snow on the ground was gradually thickening, and in the firelight, you could see a bulge of snow not far away, which was the place where Han Shuna's body was placed. I suddenly noticed that the snow moved, and I hurriedly clenched the shotgun in my hand, raised the flashlight and shone it over, thinking that maybe a hungry wolf had come and stole the corpse, but I immediately realized that it was not the case. Han Shuna was stiffly crawling out of the snowdrift, the beam of the flashlight shining through the night in the wind and snow, just shining on her faceless and charred face, only her two rows of bare teeth were the most eye-catching.
