The fat man lowered his voice and scolded: "Fuck, this old zongzi laughed, naïve, if you show a little in front of him, he won't take a fancy to you." I scolded the fat man for having no conscience, thinking about me, and was about to educate him, when a fat hand suddenly poked out from behind the old zongzi.

I counted, and there were three hands in total. Immediately after, another hand poked out from Zongzi's shoulder, and the fat man shouted, "Damn, this is a relative of the King of Wannu." As soon as the words fell, the strange smile on the face of the zongzi suddenly froze, and then the sound of chanting the scriptures sounded again.

The scene is simply weird, a corpse that can recite scriptures, a corpse that can move is right in front of us, and there is not even a coffin here, it is simply a head-on conflict.

The small charge in my hand was directed at the corpse, thinking that once it was raised, I would immediately release the gun, but I suddenly thought that this was not a real mountain, but an ice cave, which could not withstand the impact of the gunfire at all, and if the gun was released, I was afraid that we would be buried alive in it. ”

The fat man said, "I still need to say it." I looked at it, the fat man was really excited, the rope and dagger had already been screwed in my hand, I pondered the situation in front of me, and said: "This zongzi has not yet been troubled, so let's just retreat and leave first." ”

The fat man said: "There is no way back, it is still a death, the first strike is strong, see the fat man I tied it up." As he spoke, he threw the rope to me, winked, and said, "Up." "I knew in my heart that the fat man was right, to wait for it to get out of the body, I'm afraid it would be more difficult, immediately we pounced together, the fat man stepped forward, the rope crossed the chest of the zongzi, and then kicked over, the whole body of the zongzi fell, at the same time, the extra two hands on the shoulders suddenly disappeared with a whoosh.

What's going on?

I quickly looked over, only to find that the corpse had fallen down, and the place that had been blocked revealed a swarthy hole, only the thickness of a bucket, and the child could probably crawl through, and the extra two hands were poking out of it.

The fat man shouted at this time: "It's bad, this zongzi is frozen hard, not like a corpse." If it weren't for the fact that this place was too cold, I was afraid that cold sweat would have come out, and said to the fat man: "Then what happened to the sound of chanting the scriptures just now." ”

The fat man kicked the zongzi, pointed to the hole behind the zongzi, and said in a low voice, "There is something inside." ”

I thought to myself, isn't this nonsense. At this time, I looked at the corpse again, and I couldn't help but be stunned, I found that although the clothes on the corpse had been tattered and faded, they could vaguely distinguish the style, which seemed to be the clothes worn by Tibetan lamas, which reminded me of my grandfather's words in Mrs. Huo's notes, the reason why my grandfather went to find the Qixing Lu Palace was because a lama gave him a picture of the tomb before he died. 、

There are three locations recorded in that picture, which are the Qixing Lu Palace, the Wushan Box Tomb, and the Tianyuan Coffin. These three tombs, one in Shandong, one in Kunlun, and Wushan box tomb, judging from the name, should be in the Xiangshu area, these places are very different, out of Kunlun Mountain, the other two are the Central Plains, how can a horn have a map of the Central Plains?

So why did this lama in front of me die here? How many years has he been here, and what is his purpose? I felt that this horn was not simple, so I immediately glanced at the fat man and asked him to pay attention to the contents of the hole, and then I turned the dumpling over, took out a pair of work gloves for touching the corpse, and began to search for the contents of the corpse.

The fat man shot into the black hole with a flashlight, and said to me: "Naive, you really like this zongzi, and the taste is too heavy." "I don't have time to deal with the fat man, and now in this situation, I'm not in the mood to talk to him, so I focus on rummaging through the things on the corpse.

At this time, I found that the corpse's face had returned to its wilt, and the strange smile I had seen before seemed to be just an illusion on my part. To be on the safe side, I tied up the body before reaching for it. Due to the low temperature, this corpse was well preserved, there was no place to decompose, the skin and flesh were frozen and stiff, the face was sunken, the appearance was vaguely changeable, and the age at the time of death should have been in his fifties.

I reached into his clothes and felt the poop, and suddenly I touched something hard, and when I took it out, it was a thangka.

The fat man had been watching the hole closely, and when he caught a glimpse of me touching something, he immediately moved to my side, looked at the thing in my hand, his eyes lit up, and said, "Baby." ”

Although I don't know much about Tibetan civilization, there are many kinds of thangkas, and the bigger and more exquisite the higher the market value, and the thangka in my hand is only the size of an adult's palm, and it already looks very old, and it can be sold for 2,000 yuan.

I immediately began to hit the fat man's eyes and said: "Fat man, after staying in Banai for a year, not only have the tickets been spent, but even the eyes have regressed, if you want to be really mixed up, I will cut the meat and give you two pieces when you go back to Hangzhou." The fat man snorted, scolded me for not knowing the goods, and then told me about the classification of thangkas.

He said that in the current market, the bigger and more exquisite the thangka, the higher the market price, but that is a comparison within the same kind, and different types of thangka cannot be compared by size.

The classification of thangkas is mainly divided according to the material and content, the common is the Buddha thangka, the Tibetans put it at home to worship, and some thangkas depict animals or some abstract things, such as heaven and earth, wind and clouds, this kind of thangka is relatively rare, mostly ornamental value, but it is still unpopular, and the market value is not high.

Finally, there is a special category, that is, the evil card, this kind of thangka is carved in advance of the wooden mold, and then poured out with gold water, and then colored, because of the high cost, so most of them are very small, extremely rare on the market, and it is a thing that can only be done in the rich Tibetan family in the past.

My area of expertise is in the rubbing, the fat man is miscellaneous, well-informed, he can see at a glance, this is a gold card poured out of pure gold, but due to the relationship of time, the gold has been darkened, it has become dead gold, the original color on it has also peeled off, I can't see the picture clearly, the fat man analyzed: "Looking at the color of Jin Lao's death, how is it also a thousand-year-old goods, this zongzi does not look like a thousand-year-old zongzi, it is estimated that it was only obtained later." ”

I couldn't help but take a closer look at the golden thangka, although the paint on it had receded, I could still see the basic outline of the picture, and when I looked at it with my heart, I suddenly felt my heart beating, because I seemed to see a pair of blue eyes staring at me.

In the center of that thangka, there is a wolf-headed human deity, standing in the misty snow-capped mountains, staring at the person looking at the painting with emotionless eyes, and in an instant, I feel a chill coming, it is Kulazhijie.

I told the fat man about the legend I heard, and the fat man didn't believe in evil at all, and laughed at me: "If you intellectual young people like to engage in some mysticism, I think that what kind of Songdara people may be a pretending to be a god and a ghost, but then again, as far as I know, there are not many people in Tibet who worship the god of life." ”

I said, "You know, too? ”

The fat man said: "Fat man, I eat more salt than you eat, naïve comrade, you have to learn more." This god of Zansheng is said to be an evil god, although he is in charge of immortality, but it is said that the evil sect is very good, and his thangka is very few. I asked the fat man, how do you know, the fat man said, hearsay, I scolded: "Hearsay, you are embarrassed to show off." After I finished speaking, I felt that the fat man was unreliable, so I threw the thangka to him, and then went to touch the corpse, who knew that as soon as I lowered my head, I suddenly saw a hideous and weird smiling face appeared in my eyes, this corpse, I don't know when I opened my eyelids, the black hole hole looked at me, the corners of the mouth smiled to the root of the ear, revealing a weird smile.

Before I could react, the corpse's lips suddenly moved, and at this moment, a black centipede-like insect crawled out of the corner of his mouth, raised its head, and seemed to be looking at me.

I hurriedly pulled away, stared at the insect with palpitations, looked at the corpse again, and asked the fat man, "What's going on?" Without waiting for the fat man to reply, a very slight sound suddenly sounded in the cave, and I subconsciously looked at the black cave entrance, and there was nothing.

Where did the sound come from?

At this time, the fat man suddenly pointed to the corpse and said, "It." The voice became clearer and clearer, and finally I heard it, and it was actually the sound of chanting the scriptures again. Could it be that I was wrong with the fat man just now? It wasn't the thing in the cave that made the sound, but the lama dumplings in front of him?

I looked at each other like the fat man, and at the same time clenched the dagger in my hand, at this time, I suddenly found that the little centipede-like worm, constantly coming and going on the corpse, there seemed to be no danger, it looked like a centipede, about the length of a human finger, the body was flat, but there were two extremely long tentacles on the head, with the tentacles constantly fluctuating back and forth, the small chanting sound was getting faster and faster, at this time, I suddenly remembered what the third uncle told me.

In my memory, my father has always been very strict, and the second uncle is very gloomy, in the memory of my youth, most of the time it was the third uncle who took me crazy everywhere, and when the third uncle was quiet, he liked to hug me and tell me all kinds of folk tales, some of which were his personal experience, and some of them may have been made up by him, but every time I was scared to sleep, I wanted to have a quilt with him at night, but he instead made two ghost stories, scared me to shrink under the quilt all night, and was almost suffocated.

I remember that in the story told by the third uncle, one of them was called echo worm.

People of the older generation have an adjective, for example, Zhang San said that this melon grows well, Li Si immediately said, yes, yes, this melon grows really well, people like Li Si, the old people like to call him an echo worm, and what people say is what it is.

But the echo worm is a thing.

It is said that it is a kind of insect that looks like a centipede, has a strange vocal ability, in ancient times, some people relied on performing arts for sound, including the skill of dialogue, that is, a person, can imitate the dialogue of two people at the same time, and even say two sentences at the same time, which was a wonderful thing at the time, so it was regarded as a must, in fact, this is the credit of the echo worm.

When it was time to perform, put the insect on his body and talk to the insect word by word, there was no tape recorder at that time, which was quite a miraculous thing in the eyes of the ancients.

For the phenomenon that the echo insect can spit out people's words, the ancients believed that there was a soul attached to the insect, so the echo insect was also considered an ominous evil, this thing is not recognized by ordinary people, and it will be confused with a centipede, if it were not for this situation, I am afraid that it will also be regarded as a centipede.

Come to think of it, the change in the facial expression of the corpse just now is probably due to the sound worm moving in its mouth, so it involves the facial muscles.

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, glanced at the fat man who was on guard, and said, "Okay, let's rest." The fat man didn't understand yet, he pulled out his knife at the zongzi with a serious face, I stepped forward and caught the echo worm, it was frightened and kept struggling, and the sound of chanting really stopped.

The fat man came back to his senses and said curiously: "There are centipedes in this ice and snow?" "I was about to explain to the fat man what was going on, when suddenly there was an extra pair of hands on the fat man's shoulders, fat and bloated human hands.

My eyes widened suddenly, and I quickly shouted, "Fatty, behind you." At the same time, I didn't care about it, I instantly pulled out the dagger at my waist and rushed forward, the fat man immediately reacted, a short body, rolled on the spot, but he was too fat, only halfway to roll, his feet were grabbed by the hands, this time I saw clearly, the hands were stretched out of the hole.

I yelled, "Fatty." At the same time, the arms shrank violently, the force was great, dragging the fat man in, the fat man's feet were instantly stuck in the ice cave, he screamed in pain, I hurriedly hugged the fat man's back, and dragged him out, but the thing was extremely powerful, the fat man's whole legs had gone into two-thirds, and the thighs were stuck in the ice cave. Naive, smash this hole, there is still room in it. ”

I understood that it must be the fat man's legs that probed something, and immediately didn't care so much, rushed to the equipment bag and turned over things, but fortunately I turned out a mountaineering shovel, I put the iron head down, and smashed it hard towards the ice wall at the entrance of the cave, but I didn't expect that the ice wall was not thick, I smashed it a few times and fell down to break the ice, and the space behind it was gradually revealed.

The fat man's whole body was immediately pulled in again, but this time he was about to charge, and the long barrel in his hand was a shot, and then I heard a strange scream in my ears, as if a person with laryngitis was crying, the voice was strange and harsh.

At this time, the fat man's legs had been released, he put the equipment bag on his body, and said with a gun: "Quick, let's follow." ”

The fat man didn't tell me anything and got into that hole, as soon as I entered, I found that there was no cave here, the whole ice cave was wide and flat, into a square, you could see the traces of artificial chisel at a glance, my heart jumped instantly, is this the outer way of the Tianyuan coffin? Where does it lead?
