Snow Mountain Cloud Peak Chapter 60 The Thousand-Faced Demon King
I was confused and said, "What is the Thousand-Faced Demon King?" Can the seniors make it clear? ”
As a result, I heard Jin Hu interject: "Is it true that you Qinghai people greet guests like this?" ”
Then I remembered that they were both still carrying luggage, so I quickly let them into the café and opened a private room on their own.
After settling down, Zhou Haozi said: "When I was still a soldier in the Armed Police Traffic Force, I was sent to Tanggula Pass to build roads.
But soon we ran into trouble, and there was a legend among the nomadic Tibetans in that area that there was an unpredictable thousand-faced demon king in Tibet during the Subi Kingdom, who came out every hundred years to bring disaster to the world.
At that time, our troops had just driven in, and it was interesting for our comrades-in-arms to hear this kind of legend.
However, immediately after that, people began to die in the troops, and more than a dozen comrades-in-arms had hallucinations of varying degrees while working in the field, and they died of mental collapse within a day or two.
When my superiors learned of this, they sent a mysterious agency similar to Bureau 749 to investigate, but they were never able to find out the cause of the hallucinations of my comrades.
So our work was stopped, and the troops were stationed on the spot to recuperate.
It was during this time that I saw the most memorable scene of my life. ”
As he spoke, he silently lit a cigarette, his eyes were full of hollowness, as if that memory was very unforgettable for him.
Then he added: "That day, I was sent out alone to carry out a secret sentry, and just as I was lying on my stomach in the snow, suddenly there was a wolf howl in the distance.
Realizing that it was possible that it was a wolf pack nearby, I fired two shots into the sky to alert the camp.
The patrol from the camp soon arrived, and I followed them to scout closely.
As a result, we found that in the direction where the wolf howl was heard just now, there were dozens of skinned snow wolf corpses.
At first, we thought it was poachers, but we didn't find any footprints left by anyone, but a long list of footprints that seemed to have been stepped on by a giant centipede.
So we followed the trail all the way, and finally we saw an extremely terrifying monster!
Its body is densely packed with human heads, and its hands and feet are like centipedes, all of which are extremely long tentacles.
We were taken aback on the spot, the patrol was all with short guns, and I was the only one in the middle who had a long spear, and it would be difficult to deal with that monster.
In order not to startle the snake, we quickly retreated.
Unexpectedly, at this time, our movements were noticed by the monster, and they pounced at once.
I tried my best to shoot to block it to buy everyone a little time, but I was also the first to be targeted by that monster, and directly used its tentacles to entangle me and throw me seven or eight meters away.
I was thrown by that monster like this, and the whole person lost consciousness, but I was also glad to have picked up a life.
By the time I woke up, I was already in the barracks.
Our chief told me that after I lost consciousness, all my comrades with me were skinned to death, and I somehow survived.
Since they didn't know what was going on, they thought I had done it, so I was locked up.
But this level has given me another life.
That night there was an accident in the camp, and the situation was still the same as before, and everyone was brutally skinned, except for me, who was locked up in a confinement cell.
So, the institution that studied the occult came again, and I became their object of study.
The quarantine review lasted for two years, and I was locked up for two years, but in the end nothing came to a conclusion.
So the troops released me, but at the same time the order to repatriate came down.
When I returned home, I remembered the scene that had happened to me, and I was still haunted by the fact that I wanted to know what the monster that caused the mysterious deaths of my comrades.
Until this year, I was walking in a mountainous area in Aba, Sichuan, because I heard that there was a Tibetan tomb nearby.
But during this time, I stumbled upon an ancient Tibetan book, and that ancient book mentioned the Thousand-Faced Demon King.
Only then did I remember the legend I heard when I first entered the Tanggula Pass, so I wondered if the snowy monster I met back then could be the Thousand-Faced Demon King?
Later, I found someone to study the ancient book, and found that there was a place mentioned in it, on a hill not far from the Tanggula Pass, where there was a heavenly burial platform.
It is said that the suppression under the heavenly burial platform is the true body of the Thousand-Faced Demon King, and at the same time, there is a large number of treasures looted by the Tubo army when they attacked the Subi Kingdom.
That's why I found the Golden Tiger and wanted to join forces with him to take a risk, even if I couldn't find the Thousand-Faced Demon King again, I could still drop some treasures.
I heard that you are his friend, and you are also a native of Qinghai, and you have traveled with him to the ancient tombs in Quanzhou, I wonder if you are interested in going with us? ”
I suddenly felt a little helpless, the mouth of the Golden Tiger is really not tight at all, I didn't expect to shake out the matter of our trip to Quanzhou so quickly.
And this week, Hemp Zi is obviously not a good class, and he actually wants to pull me into the gang.
I think the last time I was fooled by Professor Wu was sad enough, but I can't continue to jump into the fire pit.
So I said to him, "Senior, these things you said sound quite interesting. But I'm a good citizen, and if I hadn't been tricked into going to the tomb once, I wouldn't have done such a thing at all, and I had no experience at all.
I think you're looking for the wrong person, and if you want me to be your guide for a few days, then I'm glad to do it. But this kind of thing, forget it. ”
Who knew that Zhou Haozi then smiled and said: "Haha, I'm afraid that it is easy to enter the industry and difficult to retreat, since you have already gone to the ancient tomb with the Golden Tiger once, it is our industry insiders." Besides, I heard him say that your skills are okay, so I decided to take you as my apprentice. ”
As he spoke, he handed me a copper coin, and I saw that the copper coin was engraved with the words Yongle Tongbao, and there was nothing special.
As a result, I heard Jin Hu say: "This copper coin is not simple, it is a token of the Mazi family's teachings, and it is also the talisman of their southern Tufuzi, one is worth a fortune, hurry up!" ”
I shook my head and said, "Senior, haven't you understood what I mean?" I don't want to do this kind of thing, I have my own business, and it's too far away for me to make a living by robbing graves, and it's enough to have one experience. ”
Zhou Haozi suddenly said with a dark face: "Don't you know how to lift!" Copper coins are granted, and they will not be taken back, our Zhou family era is a single descendant, never awarded to outsiders, if it is not for my generation after the extinction, how can it be your turn? ”
I smiled and said, "This is even more strange, I am not your Zhou family, why should I inherit your craftsmanship." ”
I didn't expect Jin Hu to persuade me: "Little Xuzi, can't you give face?" Brother Mazi is a big wrist in our tomb robbery world, many people want to see it but can't see it, you have to learn his skills, and it can be regarded as inheriting an intangible cultural heritage! ”
I said angrily, "Shut up! Then why don't you learn? Little fat man, you can now, just took you in, and you pushed me into the fire pit, didn't you? ”
Jin Hu said: "Where is it, I'm not incapable!" Besides, I'm on an equal footing with Brother Mazi, why should I still learn his craft. I'm not thinking that the two of us brothers will also do some big business in the future, just how much money your detective agency can make a year.
It's better for us to pour a few big buckets quickly, and we will eat and drink for the rest of our lives. ”
I was about to scold this grandson again, but I heard Zhou Haozi say: "I suddenly remembered that in addition to the Thousand-Faced Demon King, there may be another thing that can arouse your interest, a matter about your Xu family." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "About our Xu family?" Could it be that this Thousand-Faced Demon King still has something to do with our Xu family? ”
Zhou Haozi said: "Haha, then your imagination is too rich." I want to say, in Tibet, but there are also the roots of your Xu Fu lineage. ”
I wondered, "What do you mean by that?" Do you also know the family history of our Xu family? ”
Zhou Haozi said: "Everything about you and your Xu family, in fact, not only I know, but many people know, but you don't know."
Sounds a bit tongue-twisting, right? That's because someone has released all the secrets of your Xu family, and there must be something you don't know......"
