History is treacherous, how much is true and how much is false, and there is no point in exhausting these. But when I heard this fact with my own ears, I still had a hard time accepting it. No one would have thought that what really triggered human greed was not the infinite power, but that human beings "willingly degenerated" to take the first step, and since then it has been like a surging flood that can no longer be contained.

"Although King Yu and I have different positions with each other, I still decided that I would be the victim and protect this place for him." Ran Xu said.

"A scientist has long said that whether there has been a worldwide flood on the earth, the answer is no, whether it is Noah's Ark or Dayu's water control, it is just myths and legends. This burial dragon pit was actually left behind after he ruled Jiao back then, right? ”

"We are only carrying out our mission, and the reason why the secret of this is to be covered up forever is to prevent future generations of the entire continent from suffering like this again." Ran Xu touched his beard and said, "You are smarter than I thought. ”

Then, he looked at me and continued, "You really want to know the secret? Then bet on your luck, and if you have the ability to get in, I'll send you out. ”

As he spoke, his hand reached out.

"What do you mean?" I was surprised.

"It's simple." Ran Xu said unhurriedly, "Behind you is the forbidden land of the living, where someone will tell you the secret you want, if you can enter alive and get the secret you want, then I promise to send you back." ”

"Forbidden land for the living? Are there still people in the forbidden land? Just when I was puzzled, suddenly, a silver light flashed in my sight, and I only felt that my sight was a flower, and I don't know when, Ran Xu had a sharp sword in his hand.

I gasped and quickly took a few steps.

With a "bang", the sword flashed a cold light, and Ran Xu threw it into the darkness casually, I was still hesitating, I didn't know what Ran Xu meant by this move, and then, I suddenly heard two slight sounds of "click" coming from the top of my head, and then the sound seemed to trigger dominoes, and the sound began to become one after another.

I thought to myself, "Not good. ”

I hurriedly looked up and looked up. At this time, the light in the cave changed, and the original luster on Ran Xu's body suddenly darkened at this time, and the surroundings were darkened, although it was not so dark that it was invisible, but the figure close at hand had already appeared hazy and blurred.

At this time, I don't need to think much to know what must have happened on my head, I raised my eyes to look, only to see that there seemed to be a crystal vein stretched out of the mountain above, extending countless scattered and expanding crystals, all of which were born downward at a distorted angle, clusters like sharp ice picks, in these strange crystals, a huge black figure, fluttering and wriggling in the depths, emitting bursts of thunderous movements, echoing repeatedly on the crystal wall, emitting ominous sounds, the appearance of black shadows, diluted most of the cold fluorescence, The environment in the cave is getting darker and darker.

"it!" I didn't expect it, I didn't expect Ran Xu to make this move.

"What a gamble on luck, your sister, this is simply trying to open the knife for that old man." I cursed in my heart, but at this moment, I didn't have time to speak at all, and hurriedly dodged.

The scene of black clouds crushing the city made this already very narrow space even more depressing, and listening to the rumbling sound above, an inexplicable sense of panic immediately appeared in my heart.

"What the is this? Won't it ...... It can't be an evil spirit sealed in stone, right? I thought back to the last time I saw the scene where the ancestor of the Ran clan lodged his soul in the spirit stone in the Danlu Mountain, which was quite similar to the scene in front of me, "It's over, if this is really the case, the evil spirit came out of the stone, I'm afraid it's really over this time." ”

I suddenly felt on fire in my heart, thinking that this Ran Xu was really not a good bird, but I thought that my speculation was somewhat arbitrary, although Ran Xu was the ancestor of the Ran family, but he had nothing to do with his descendants in later generations, although many kinds of Linqiong Taoist priests for thousands of years had some indirect relationship with the reign of King Yu of the year, but it was indeed a bit inappropriate to conclude that Ran Xu was not a good class. However, at this time, the anger in my heart could not be contained, the situation was pressing, and I did not even have time to think of a solution.

This Ran Xu said that he would do it, and I was suddenly shocked like a sifting chaff, and my face was full of dazedness, but I also knew that Ran Xu's move was intended to test me, if he caused himself to die in the truth, it would not take this effort at all, it would be much easier than pinching an ant to death. Thinking of this, I looked up again, and the black figure became clearer and clearer in the crystal, the shadow was shaking slightly, and the muffled thunder in the air was even more harsh, as if it was some kind of demon trapped in the stone, as if it was struggling to crawl out of it.

Ran Xu said in the Black Shadow Servant: "Boy, you remember that if you have the life to enter the forbidden land of the living alive, it means that you have obtained true eternal life, and your life will exist for the secrets of this place and here, how far you can go depends on your creation!" ”

"!" I gritted my teeth and said, "There is a lot of nonsense, historical experience has taught us again and again, whoever fucking dares to isolate himself from the people is a fucking dead end." ”

I only felt that I was holding a breath of evil in my heart, and I came here for a secret, but I fell deeper and deeper in a series of treacherous incidents, and the people I met were either angry or strange, every one of them was normal. It's too late to find out what the thing that came out of the shell on top of it is, but once the thing on it really breaks away from the hedron, I know that I will never be able to deal with it.

Just as I was dodging left and right, looking for a chance to escape, suddenly a crack opened in the ground, and this gap immediately became a deep ravine, where I was standing, it became a stone beam no more than ten feet, the whole stone beam hung alone in the air, and next to it was the abyss, looking down, I was shocked into a cold sweat.

I watched this incredible scene in my eyes, and then something even stranger happened, only to see a burst of white smoke begin to rise from under the stone beam, with a hazy fluorescence. And the white smoke, which was second only to the crystal dust, was decreasing in height little by little, as if the black figure above the head was getting bigger, and the stone smoke was thinner. I didn't notice when this change happened, but the thickness of the cloud lake is now half a meter lower than before, and it is still decreasing, becoming gradually thinner.

"Damn, how do you get into the forbidden land for the living? What if Lao Tzu really hangs up? "At this time the clouds continued to descend a very thin layer, and when I saw something under the clouds, I could not help but feel a wild beat in my heart, and I saw a withered and blackened arm, which was looming out of the clouds, and the half of the arm that emerged from the clouds had completely lost its moisture, leaving the shriveled skin wrapped around the bone frame, and the skin was black and purple.

"What?!" I subconsciously reached for the throwing knife, and then I remembered that I only had a short knife left.

"I'm really afraid of something!" I carried a knife in my hand and watched the withered arm warily.

But then I saw more and more shocking things revealed under the clouds, and in some places human heads were exposed, and in other places arms and thighs appeared, all of them naked, dry and black and purple, and I couldn't count how many there were.

On closer inspection, however, the corpses are vaguely familiar, but they bear a similar resemblance to the Mother of Evil (note 1), with features that are not always human, such as spiny scales. The white smoke became thicker and thicker, and the thinner ground began to slow down.

The sudden increase in speed did not mean a good sign, I immediately became alert, and at this moment, suddenly the stone beam under my feet trembled, and the whole stone beam seemed to be broken, and I did not have time to control my balance, so I jumped off the stone beam.

As soon as I went down, I found that the clouds were full of dried corpses, and when I stepped on them, the corpses that were overhead below were trampled and slid down one after another, and I didn't care to look at those dried corpses, but I was afraid that I would also roll down from the top of the mountain where the corpses were piled up. Stepping on a large number of dried corpses exposed to the clouds, Ren slept with nervousness in his heart, and didn't pay attention to the situation under his feet, stepped on the braincase of a dried corpse, and actually stepped on the human head, the braincase of the dried corpse was dry and hard and very slippery, and his feet slipped on it, and he suddenly lost his center of gravity, fell on the spot, and pounced on a dried corpse.

"I'm sorry Ancestor, I didn't mean to, you have a lot of them, don't be like me!" I was taken aback and cursed for my bad luck, but I didn't stop and got up immediately.

While crawling, I looked for the entrance to the so-called forbidden place for the living, but I searched and searched, and I didn't find anything suspicious, and I couldn't help cursing in my heart, but at this time, the sound of the spar growing and falling rocks above my head had become tighter, as if it was a burst of spells, and I knew that there was not much time left for me, and the test set by Ran Xu was actually making me a race against death.

People will despair when there is no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth, maybe there are really people in the world who look at death suspiciously and calmly, but that can only be done after making full preparations and eliminating regrets. At this time, the white stone smoke around him has become extremely thin, and the rest is like a chaotic cloud drifting away, the crystal veins around him are fluorescent, and the terrain is almost completely symmetrical with the top of the head, as if it is reflected in a mirror.

"Oh my God!" I looked up at the top of my head, it was really subverted, the wind and clouds changed color, the pitch-black shadow was twisting and elongating, the whole was stretched, and it was no longer visible as a human shape, like a broken black wind horse flag, slowly turning in the crystal, and the drum did not stop.

Not only did I feel a chill in my heart, but I thought that I was powerless and died with hatred, and although I didn't feel good in my heart, I still advised myself that it was better to fight and die than to live. Just as I was about to die, an impulse suddenly arose in my heart, and I thought: "Ran Xu is to test me, there is no reason to want me to die like this, if this entrance does not exist, then what will be the forbidden land for the living?" I may have been blinded by a fixed mindset, life and death are just a thought, where the living cannot enter, isn't that the place where the dead should go? The universe is reversed, the cycle of life and death, life is not life, death is not death......"

"Yes, it must be like this, it's really the way to the sky!" Now, I can't afford to think about it, although I don't have time to stand up, but when I think of this layer, I am much more relaxed when I die generously.

I didn't stay for long, a huge black mist suddenly gushed out from the gap between the two crystal ores above my head, and a huge dragon poked out of the black mist, opened a bloody mouth, stared at the greedy blood-red eyes, inhaled hard, swallowed the fishy smell of the air flow, and inhaled me directly into my abdomen.

Exegesis:

1. Mother of Evil: The Mother of Evil is a mysterious being. The reincarnation of the "Mother of Evil" in the past generations, they were the sacrificers of the so-called demon kingdom during their lifetimes, and they had a magical ability to make the spiritual power transcend the physical body, and then make the soul attain. The origin of the artistic image of the "mother of evil" can be traced back to the ghost child mother in Indian Buddhism. "Add One Ahan Sutra (22)" says: "'The gods and kings who descend ghosts, and the children and mothers who descend ghosts, are like people and ghosts. At first, he was an evil god, and then he returned to the Buddha as a protector god. "The story recorded here is: The real name of the devil is Emperor Hali, one of the twenty heavens of the Dharma protector, originally a terrifying ghost god who eats children, she herself has 500 children, and she steals human children in order to raise them and kills them as food. The Buddha couldn't bear it, and used his magical powers to hide one of the children of the evil mother, and the evil mother was anxious to find but could not find it, then the Buddha appeared in front of the evil mother with the child in his arms, and exonerated her, "You yourself have lost a child and it hurts so much, and you have eaten so many children, and those parents who have lost their children are also so heartbroken." After listening to the Buddha's teachings, the devil finally realized and threw herself into the Buddha's seat.

In the 90s of the last century, when the Tibet Autonomous Region Cultural Relics Management Committee was sorting out the Norbulingka cultural relics, it found two "Tibetan Demon Suppression Maps", which were exactly the same. The picture is very cleverly conceived, depicting the Tibetan land as an image of a mother lying down. Tibetan legend has it that the entire Tibetan terrain resembles the mother of evil, and in order to prevent witches from doing evil, Princess Wencheng built many temples according to the theory of feng shui to suppress witches and prevent witches from doing evil. On the screen, the female demon is lying on her back with her head east and feet west, and her heart is in Lhasa, the capital of central Tibet, and the Potala Palace holds the heart of the female demon; Fill in the Wotang Lake, and build the Jokhang Temple on it, worship the statue of the gods, and suppress the heart of the female demon. Build the Twelve Temples of the Demon Suppression, known as the Twelve Temples, with the joints of the limbs of the Demon Town, which is said to be the twelve nails that subdue the Demon.
