Kunlun Divine Palace Chapter 17 is the poor god ice
I remembered the mural of the ghost mother I saw in the Great Phoenix Temple, when I heard the iron rod lama say that the painting was broken, and its original appearance should be blue and white, symbolizing that the ghost mother has immeasurable karmic fire and the poor god ice, two evil powers that can crush the souls of ordinary people. In the legends of ancient Tibet, there is no such thing as the Demon Kingdom, but it is called the Demon Kingdom of the North, and only in the poems of the World Enemy Orb King, it is called the "Demon Kingdom".
The ice worm that came out of the mouth of the glacier crystal corpse was probably the so-called Nai Poor God Ice. I saw that Peter Huang's body was frozen by the poor god, and fell into countless ice dust, and before the dust settled, an ice crystal-like ladybug flew out of it, circled in the air, and flew towards the nearest fat man.
The fat man lay on the ground, looked at Peter Huang's tragic death, knew that this kind of ice insect was sharp, and if it was touched, it would die, and if it was touched, he would die, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and he raised his m1911, and even the aiming action was saved, and he raised his hand to fight.
At this time, the roar of the avalanche rumbling of the Longding Glacier intensified, engulfing the sound of the world, and I wanted to stop the fat man, but whether it was the sound of gunfire or shouting, it was covered by the fury of the snowy mountain.
In the dim wooden tower, the gunfire flashed slightly, and a bullet shot from the muzzle of the gun shattered the ice worms in the air, wiped the mountaineering helmet of Uncle Ming opposite, and shot into the black wood of the demon tower. Uncle Ming was so shocked that his eyes rolled and he fainted and fell to the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
The ice worm was hit, shattered into a dozen Xiaoice crystals in the air, and landed on the ground in front of me, wriggling a few times, and then giving birth to wings, and it seemed that they would soon fly up to attack the living people in the tower. Just now, just one ice worm almost wiped out our army, and if we became a dozen, we would be unable to resist it in this low and narrow wooden tower, and everyone would die without a place to bury.
I grabbed the flask next to my backpack on the ground, took a big sip, took a big sip, and took a lighter in one hand, and sprayed the liquor in my mouth at the dozen or so ice worms on the ground.
The body of the ice worm on the ground suddenly changed from a shimmering silver-white to a dark blue, that is, the kind of fireworm that I had encountered twice.
I, Shirley Yang, and the fat man were all terrified, and the green tendons on the door of our heads jumped, could it be that there was really the power of the evil god in this tower?
The breath of immeasurable karmic fire spread to all corners of the tower in an instant, and although the smell of fire was scorching in our noses, our bodies felt extremely cold to the bone, and we were almost completely suffocated. The dozen or so Dapu ghost insects on the ground were already circling and flying, driving a gloomy blue tracer in the dark space, and then they were about to disperse and pounce on the five living people around.
At this suffocating moment, a large amount of snow poured down from the hole at the top of the tower, and smashed down the passage we dug down layer by layer into the nine-story demon tower. In the end, the top of the tower may be covered by a large snowboard, and the snow will stop pouring in, and in such a short moment, the upper layers may have been filled with snow, and the snow that fell into the eighth layer pressed the Dapu in the air.
Seeing that I couldn't miss the opportunity, I hurriedly made a gesture to Shirley Yang and asked her to quickly take Ah Xiang to the bottom. This eighth layer is no longer safe, this kind of insect is flickering and flickering, and it is not the fire and ice in common sense, it seems to be the energy brought back from hell by the dead and undead, there is no way to deal with it, and there is no way to find the weakness of the other party in the retreat in great strides, but there will be no retreat below, I also know this, I can only delay for a moment.
The fat man and I dragged Uncle Ming and all the backpacks to the bottom, and the shaking and noise of the ground gradually subsided, which was a sign that the massive avalanche was over, and the Longding Glacier had been covered with snow rolling down from the four snow peaks. However, the top priority is not to think about how to get out, but to find something to block the gap between it and the upper demon tower, blocking the passage for those ghost insects to come down.
The fat man wanted to move the stone platform on the ground, but I pulled him back: "Do you want to learn from Dong Cunrui and hold the stone platform to plug the hole above?" Get some wooden boards. "Whether it's immeasurable karmic fire or poor god ice, these two energies can only act on living things, and as long as they don't leave gaps, they should be able to block them temporarily.
The fat man and I scrambled to find some black logs in the tower and blocked the passage. Shirley Yang wiped Uncle Ming's nose with the Northland Xuanzhu, Uncle Ming sneezed, woke up, and touched his head first when he opened his eyes, and confirmed that it was intact, before he breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression was extremely atrophied.
I knew that Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang were frightened this time, so I comforted them and said, "We should be very safe here, although those Dapu ghost insects are powerful, they don't touch people, they are just like ordinary insects, there is no threat, and it is impossible to push away the blocked wood with their strength." ”
The fat man echoed: "Dragonflies shake the pillar, that's beyond our strength, let's spend it with them, and we have long been ready to fight a protracted war......"
Before the words fell, there was a loud noise overhead, and countless broken trees and snow fell. The fat man and I happened to be standing below, thanks to the helmet, Rao was also a little dizzy from the smash, and hurriedly dodged backwards, thinking to himself Is it the quality of the work we are rushing to do? Just plugged and collapsed? Or did the snow loosen in the upper layers, forming another small avalanche inside the tower?
Looking at the falling things again, the black is wood, the white is snow, and the crystal light in the middle is the glacier crystal corpse. Before they could take a closer look, there was a loud bang overhead, and everyone looked up to see a white human figure crawling down from above. Only then did we remember that there was a snow miller on the outer layer of the demon tower, and due to the chaos of the avalanche, we almost forgot about it.
I grabbed the shotgun and hit it on the head of Snow Millet, but the guy didn't know it, the bullet couldn't help it. It kept jumping down with its head down, but its body was too fat and it was stuck in the hole above, but this guy had a lot of strength, and this civil structure demon tower couldn't trap it, and it was only a matter of time before it broke free.
This time, I finally saw the face of Snow Milletya clearly, but it had no face at all, like a white flesh skin in the shape of a human face, with many dense white circles shrinking and undulating on it, making people not know where to start.
I suddenly remembered that I said that this guy was afraid of big salt, and our salt was all in Uncle Ming's, so I hurriedly asked Uncle Ming for it. Uncle Ming said: "It's over, this time it's really dead, and the salt is all on the top of the tower and not brought down." ”
The fat man was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Uncle Ming, let me say what is good about you, you ...... You're all an Italian on our side. 1 "This sentence was originally used by Shirley Yang to describe the fat man when we went to Xinjiang, saying that the fat man was simply an Italian on our side, and now the fat man finally found an opportunity to buckle this hat to Uncle Ming.
I just wanted to drink to stop the fat man, but I didn't hurry up and think about it, I was still in the mood to find a cheap word at this juncture, could it be that when Xue Maitreya climbed down, we couldn't practice wrestling with it?
But before the words came out, he overheard Shirley Yang say: "Look at the top, it's not that it can't climb down...... Frozen. ”
When we heard this, we looked up and saw that the snow mill above our heads had a layer of frost, but the snow miller was resistant to extreme cold, and although it was frozen, it could still struggle to get rid of it. Suddenly, the thick white flesh on its body suddenly opened, like a big white bird spreading its wings, ready to volley down at any moment, we were taken aback, and tried to hide, but the spread skin suddenly froze.
A bloody human skeleton was revealed inside Bai Huahua's flesh, and when he looked at the skull of the human bone, he knew that it was Han Shuna's, and before he had time to take a second look, he was already covered in frost. Snow Maitreya, who wanted to scatter and escape, was frozen in the air by the poor god Bing, and finally did not move, maybe touching it a little, it would shatter into misty ice dust like Peter Yellow.
But if it hadn't been alarmed, it would have remained like this forever under the glacier. The passage between the two layers of demon towers was tightly blocked.
We recovered from this thrilling scene and realized that we must hurry up and make a passage from the side of the tower, otherwise this narrow enclosed environment will not soon suffocate people to death.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of wings vibrating at the bottom of the tower, and we had already been frightened by this sound, and we felt that the hairs on our bodies were like frost. Immediately, following the prestige, the head of the glacier crystal corpse was exposed in the pile of black wooden planks, and there were Dapu ghost worms in its mouth, not one, but a group. A large group of Dapu is about to come out with the poor god Ice Flyer who can freeze souls.
The fat man was closest to the crystal corpse, he was quick-eyed, took out a black donkey's hoof from the carrying bag, and before those dapu came out, he preemptively stuffed it into the mouth of the glacier crystal corpse, and quickly retracted his hand, and the cold light in the glacier crystal corpse flashed faintly, and there was no movement.
Uncle Ming was shocked when he watched from the side, hugged Ah Xiang tightly, and asked me, "Brother Hu, what is it...... So why doesn't the copper seal work? Is it the wrong way we are using? ”
I sat down on the ground and shook my head helplessly: "It's not all your fault, you made a mistake in the general direction of the strategy, misled us, and was almost killed by you." That day, the official bronze seal was specially used to ambush the corpse, and there was no taboo for any corpse demon and corpse demon to be. But this glacier crystal corpse is not a corpse at all, not to mention that the copper seal is fastened to the door of the head, even if it is pressed on the buttocks, it is useless. ”
I took the blame for it, thanks to the fat man's risky black donkey's hoof tactics to plug the ghost worm back. But it doesn't seem to be dangerous at the moment, but this glacier crystal corpse may be made like a real person, with a total of seven orifices, although it can't come out of the mouth, but maybe it will come out of the asshole or something, and the safest way should be to wrap the corpse tightly with duct tape, like an Egyptian mummy, wrapped into a veritable large rice dumpling.
I made up my mind, took two deep breaths, and went rummaging through the tape. The backpack with the tape fell between the white-haired wolf king and the glacier crystal corpse, and I walked over to drag the backpack far away from the two demons, but before my hand touched the strap of the backpack, I heard Shirley Yang and the fat man exclaim in unison: "Old Hu, get out of the ......."
I knew something was wrong and tried to jump away, but I fell face down with some slimy liquid and got a lot of fishy mucus on my face.
I wiped it on my face, and with a force on my waist, I turned over, only to see that the glacier crystal corpse had cracked open, and the dark red and transparent organs had fallen outside. A swarm of cold ice insects, like a silver whirlwind of ice chips, flew out of the corpse and pounced on me.
I stared at the ice worms with wide eyes, and there was no longer time to dodge and resist, in fact, even if I did, there was nothing to resist. It's really glorious this time, I can't imagine that I will die here, farewell, comrades......
But at this moment, the ice worm suddenly stopped in the air, and it was not as sharp as killing Peter Huang. I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, but at this moment, the distance between life and death was thinner than a strand of hair, and my brain was completely blinded, and I couldn't figure out what was going on, could it be these flying insects with the ice of the poor gods......
Shirley Yang, who was at the far end of the tower, turned his brain very quickly, and when he saw me stunned on the spot, he hurriedly reminded him: "Lao Hu, it's the blood of the wolf king, and you have the blood of the wolf king on your forehead......"
This sentence was like a lightning bolt across the sky when the dark clouds were at the top, I immediately woke up, just now I was slipped by the wolf blood on the ground, and my face was rubbed a lot, at that time I didn't have time to think about what those bloody mucus were, I wiped a handful on my face, and inadvertently wiped the blood of the wolf king on my forehead.
Chu Sheng once said that in Tibetan legends, after the death of man and beast, within a day and night, the soul will not leave the blood and **, among all things, only the human soul lives on the forehead, if it is covered with the blood of the newly dead wolf, you can hide your whereabouts. Moreover, this wolf king, who had just been killed by the first junior one, had silver-white fur all over his body, indicating that it was a descendant of the ancestor of the wolves in Kunlun Mountain, Jingzi Mountain, and the blood of the previous king flowed in his veins. Crystal Freedom Mountain and Nai Poor God Ice are also the guards guarding this demon tower, and the ice worms must have taken me as a white wolf, so they stopped attacking.
Of course, these thoughts only flashed in my mind, and there was no time for me to organize my thoughts, and the whirlwind of ice flickering like ice chips hovered above, and it seemed that he was about to change his goal and pounce on Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang. I immediately took out a few black donkey hooves from my carrying bag, smeared wolf blood on the ground, and threw them to Uncle Ming, Fat Man, Shirley Yang and others. I don't know why I didn't take anything else at the time, but only the black donkey's hooves, probably because I thought it was heavy, and it was easier to throw it over.
At this time, even the fat man, who has always been too idle and doesn't care about anything, can't care about talking nonsense, and uses both hands to wipe the blood of the wolf king on his forehead.
Dapu Ghost Worms, whether it is the Immeasurable Karmic Fire or the Poor Divine Ice, they have to circle in the air several times before each time they choose a target, which is such an empty space, giving us a chance to survive. After the swarms of ice worms circled up, they found that there was no target, and they fell back to the shattered crystal corpse, and the silver light on their bodies gradually dimmed, crawling on the fragments of the crystal corpse.
A large area in the center of the tower was occupied by them, and the five of us clung to the tower wall, and none of us dared to move. I know that the blue fireworms are afraid of water, and I can infer that I can burn these ice worms with fire, but I don't know what kind of mysterious power controls them, and they can switch between the poles of ice and fire at any time, which is simply seamless, and if we don't find out the source of this power, we still can't get out of the current predicament.
I always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the bottom of the tower, but the change, or sign, was so small that it was so subtle that it was impossible to notice, and even if I did, it could be overlooked. For a while, a stalemate was formed, we couldn't act, and the blood of this wolf king couldn't resist a lifetime, so if it went on, there was only the difference between being suffocated or frozen into popsicles. And depending on the situation, it seems that it is impossible to delay until tomorrow and then die, in the translucent bodies of those ghost insects, a cold cold light appeared again, they seem to have found that the glacier crystal corpse has been damaged, and if they want to scatter and fly away, it will form the most terrifying situation.
I looked around, looking for that subtle clue, and finally stopped my eyes on Uncle Ming. Uncle Ming was sticking to the tower wall, his face turned blue with fright, beside him, two crystal balls fell, now one was dim, and the white cold light of the other crystal ball was much brighter than before.
Shirley Young also noticed this, and looked at me and reached a consensus without saying anything. Shirley Young pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the dull crystal ball, shattering it to pieces. This shot is very risky, no one can guarantee that this crystal ball will be shattered, and all the Dapu ghost insects in the demon tower can only maintain the form of the poor god ice, but the ice insects that are about to move have no time for us to think too much about it.
As soon as Shirley Yang smashed the crystal ball, I shouted to the fat man, "Commander Wang, use the flamethrower." ”
Hearing this, the fat man quickly took out a propane spray bottle from the rucksack behind him and sprayed it at the swarm of ice insects on the ground. Since there was not much air in this sealed space, the fat man didn't dare to spray more, and as soon as he spit out the tongue of fire, he immediately stopped, and the ice worms at the bottom of the tower burned to ashes before they could fly away from the fragments of the glacier crystal corpse.
When I saw that it worked, the heart that had always hung in my throat fell back to its original place, but at this time everyone felt that their chests were suffocated, and they didn't have time to remember what had just happened, so they immediately started to pry open the black wood at the bottom of the tower. I was on the eighth floor of the Demon Tower, and I saw that the place where Xue Maitreya climbed up was a large sloping crack on the outside of the tower, which seemed to be able to go down to the depths. It is estimated that all the fissures in this glacier are connected to the largest ice abyss. The snow that collapsed on the top of the dragon would soon be frozen by the cold wave that swept in, and with our equipment and manpower, we had to dig out of it and find a way to survive.
I found the right place from memory, and started to pry the wooden planks at the bottom of the tower, but I made another amazing discovery. The black wood here is obviously not the original, but someone removed it and reinstalled it, and the outside is not rammed earth, but backfilled ordinary frozen soil, which is like a repaired thief hole, but looking at the traces, it is by no means left in modern times.
With this ancient secret passage, it was easy to dig any further, and soon a slope was dug up, where the traces of artificial excavation were more obvious, but judging from the technique, it should not be the robbery hole made by tomb robbers. On the frozen soil of the slope, there are layers of earth steps, and the bottom may be connected to the depths of the ice abyss, obviously not in a hurry, and of course it is impossible for a guy like Snow Miller to do it, but what is this......
I asked Uncle Ming and the others to leave the demon tower and burrow into the slope below. Everyone else is okay to say, only Ah Xiang was frightened by the scene just now, and refused to move, this place is very narrow, and there is no way to carry her, Uncle Ming and Shirley Yang persuaded her for a long time, but she still couldn't move half a step.
I had no choice but to squeeze my eyes at the fat man, and the fat man immediately understood, and scared Ah Xiang: "Sister Ah Xiang, if you want to leave, we won't wait for you." To put it bluntly, when my brother really can't bear to throw you here, you probably don't know what's under this tower, right? Did you see the blackened corpse of the crystal woman, she could only live here after she died, and she couldn't go anywhere. Life in this underworld is very boring, and you can only seek spiritual sustenance by messing around with the relationship between men and women. When it was late at night, the male crystal corpse buried nearby came to look for the female crystal corpse, but the male corpse saw that the female corpse was burned to this ugly appearance, of course he wouldn't mess with her, but have you thought about it, will the male corpse ...... you?"
Ah Xiang was frightened by the fat man's tactics of "attacking the heart and disintegrating the enemy mentally" that he had learned from me, and he didn't dare to listen to it anymore, so he quickly grabbed Shirley Yang's hand and followed closely into the ramp outside the tower.
I waved to the fat man, and the two of them set up Uncle Ming, and then followed. After climbing to a slightly gentle place in the dark to rest, Shirley Young said to me, "In your experience, where does this ancient glacier lead to the depths?" ”
I said that since it used to be an alpine lake, maybe there was a deep water system underneath it, but there was definitely something strange about this slope under the glacier. The only possibility is that the Reincarnation Sect dug it, but they built a lot of tombs in this glacier, and they dug through the demon tower from below, and the amount of work seems to be far more than that, could it be that the Reincarnation Sect wants to dig out something important from under the glacier?
Shirley Yang said: "Master Iron Rod Lama told me many long poems about the Demon Kingdom in the long poems of the King of the Enemy Orb, combined with what we have seen, I have a bold speculation that the depths of this glacier are the gate of disaster leading to the main city of the Demon Kingdom -- Evil Luohai City. The Reincarnation Sect wants to dig through this mysterious gate. ”
