Chapter 14: The Fox Mask

Ma Chongshan didn't care too much about the deaths of those people, he tried to move his arms and legs, and found that it was still the same. Hammer

As if he had been drained of his muscles and bones, he was weak and unable to move, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

He asked Ma Chongfeng, "What's wrong with my body?" Why can't I move until now?"

Ma Chongfeng wanted to speak and stopped, and at the urging of his brother, he hesitated for a long time, and finally only vaguely said that he had suffered some injuries and could not move for the time being.

Ma Chongshan saw that something was wrong from his expression, and asked again, "You tell me the truth, is there something wrong with my body, why can't I feel the existence of my limbs at all?"

Ma Chongfeng pulled out a little smile with difficulty, and comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, it's poisoned, when we go out, we will go to the United States to treat you, and we will definitely be cured."

"your fart!" Ma Chongshan saw at a glance that he was lying, and his heart became more and more uneasy, struggling to get up, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in his limbs, which quickly spread to his whole body like a tsunami, and the pain in his brain was like a pinprick in his head, like countless bees burrowing into his brain and gnawing on his bones.

"Brother? Brother, how about you, don't scare me!" This time the onset was more serious than the first one, Ma Chongfeng was suddenly frightened, panicked, and stumbled out of the tent to call people. Hammer

"Where's Rawa-sama? Where has Lord Ringorawa gone? My brother is sick again!" Ma Chongfeng casually grabbed a person guarding outside the tent and asked anxiously.

The Tibetan guarding the door lifted the curtain and took a look, exchanged a few words with the clansmen on the side, and then pushed Ma Chongfeng back into the tent, pointed at him and warned him in a very stern tone, telling him not to run around.

Ma Chongfeng was so anxious that he grabbed the guards and said all the Tibetan languages he only knew, explaining what happened to the hand and foot dance, but no one paid attention to him at all.

Seeing that Ma Chongshan, who was lying on the felt, began to vomit black blood again, Ma Chongfeng was about to despair, and at this moment, he heard the bell on the waist of the blue-robed Tibetan.

The voice seemed to have a strange magic, not slow, as pure and calm as a walk in the snow, Ma Chongfeng's buzzing brain was miraculously calmed, and all the chaotic anger and panic seemed to be carried to the clouds by the gentle wind.

Ma Chongshan, who was originally manic and vomiting blood, also stopped convulsions, and fell asleep with a tilted head.

The blue-robed Tibetan came in and only stood by Ma Chongshan's bed and looked at it a few times, then said to Ma Chongfeng with a serious expression: "Your brother has been targeted by the king of Hades, his greed is too strong, the king of Hades is very disgusted with him, so he left a curse mark on his body, and he will soon be taken away by the king of Hades." Hammer

Ma Chongfeng's whole person was stupid, and before he could ask, the blue-robed Tibetan had already issued an expulsion order, "You must leave Kangballo before the god Dawa rises from the east tomorrow, otherwise my tribe will also be contaminated with an aura that is hated by the king of Hades, and very terrible things will happen at that time."

Ma Chongfeng didn't know what that "terrible thing" meant, but he could see from the expressions of these people that if the two brothers didn't leave, they would probably directly hack them to death, and then respectfully sacrifice them to the so-called Hades.

The god Dawa in the blue-robed population is the moon god of the Tibetans.

Ma Chongfeng did not dare to doubt the authenticity of the words spoken by Lord Rawa, and when the first morning sun blew over the snow-covered hills, the Ma brothers were blindfolded, and the Kangbaluo people sent them out of the snow-capped mountain as quickly as possible.

In order to ensure that Ma Chongshan could get out of the snow-capped mountain alive, Lord Ringorawa specially hung an octagonal bronze bell the size of a thumb on his ear.

In the words of those ancient Tibetans, the soul of a person like Ma Chongshan, who covers his greed and filth with pure skin, does not deserve to stay on the snowy mountain.

As if it was a big dream, Ma Chongshan felt that he had just slept for a while, and returned to the bottom of the mountain from the snow-capped mountain, with a terminal illness and a bronze bell that temporarily had a little effect on the terminal illness. Hammer

Later, Ma Chongshan learned that the terminal illness he was suffering from was an acute nerve terminal disease, which was only weak and weak in the early stage, and would be completely paralyzed in the later stage.

With the medical conditions at the time, he could live for a year at most, or even less than a year.

Because this disease is progressive, in the end, he will suffer more than ten times the pain he has now, and even if he dies, he will not die of disease, but will die of pain.

The octagonal bronze bell does not slow down the spread of the disease, its effect is similar to mental hypnosis, it can only relieve the feeling of pain to a certain extent, and the body should be corrupted or corrupted.

Just when Ma Chongshan was disheartened and desperate, someone found him.

At that time, his brother Ma Chongfeng was not there, so he went to buy a new horse, planning to hire someone to take his brother to return to Nepal immediately.

After another episode of pain, Ma Chongshan's face turned pale, lying in a pile of bloodstained felt, staring half-dead at the hunting knife hanging on the edge of the tent, his eyes once again revealing a desire for death. Hammer

However, the cruel truth now tells him that he is now a cripple, a waste who cannot stand, walk, or even kill himself with a knife.

Now he is envious of the horse guy Ji and the Tibetan guide who died on the snowy mountain, and it is better to die without knowing anything than to survive like him now.

Since he woke up, the thought of dying has kept coming to his mind.

He couldn't bear the pitiful, regretful, contemptuous, and mocking eyes that others threw at him, he was the eldest son of the Ma family, if it weren't for this accident, he would have returned to the family happily and took over the burden of revitalizing the family from his father, who was already dying.

He regretted it, he hated, he regretted his ignorance at the beginning, and he hated fate for being so unfair.

Life is better than death, it turns out that life is better than death, for some people, life is really more painful than death.

The last glimmer of light in Ma Chongshan's eyes gradually dissipated. Hammer

I don't know how long it took, but a dark shadow floated into the pitch-black tent.

The shadow was quite slender and ridiculously tall, and as soon as he got closer, Ma Chongshan felt a faint cold aura approaching him, and there was a faint trace of rotten fishy aura emanating from it.

Even if he already had the idea of dying, at this moment, in the face of this unknown guy who suddenly broke in, Ma Chongshan's heart still inevitably beat wildly.

He squinted slightly, trying to see what was standing in front of his bed by the little light that leaked through the cracks in the tent door.

Is it human? No, this black shadow was as thin as a piece of paper, and it was ridiculously tall, like a slender pillar standing in front of him.

What would that be?

Hades in the mouth of Camballor? Did it come over? Hammer

"Will it kill me?" Ma Chongshan's heart was extremely worried, he didn't know what this thing wanted to do to him, Zuo just wanted his life, so he was happy.

Ma Chongshan silently scolded in his heart, why didn't he do it? Did you want him to close his eyes on his own initiative?

Thinking so in his heart, Ma Chongshan's fear gradually subsided, he closed his eyes peacefully, craned his neck, and prepared to die.

Suddenly a cold thing came to his neck, delicate and slippery, as if a snake had crawled up to his neck from the icy water.

Ma Chongshan couldn't help but shiver for a while, this coolness rushed up from his heart to Tianlinggai, and just when he thought he would die in the next second, he heard a vague word, as if it was floating towards him with the snowflakes along with the clouds in the sky.

"Do you want to stay alive?"

What? Ma Chongshan was stunned, he suspected that he was terminally ill and began to have auditory hallucinations. Hammer

"Do you want to, or don't you want to?"

The second sentence was clearer than the first one, although it was also like a sandpaper in his throat, hoarse and sharp, but it was indeed human words, and it came from the black shadow in front of him.

Ma Chongshan's blood stopped suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean? Who are you? What do you mean by that sentence?"

shadow

He smiled coldly, "If you want to live, come to Buzara to find me tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, Ma Chongshan felt his neck tighten, and then lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, the tent was brightly lit, and my younger brother Ma Chongfeng had also returned.

Ma Chongfeng took care of his brother's emotions, and only mentioned that everyone had been found, and he could leave home tomorrow. Hammer

When he looked up, he saw Ma Chongshan staring at him without turning his eyes, and there was no trace of emotion in his dark pupils.

Ma Chongfeng was startled and asked him hesitantly, "Brother? What's wrong with you?"

"Not leaving tomorrow." Ma Chongshan turned his head back and looked directly at the sharp tent roof above, "You go and inquire about a place called Buzaraang, where someone can save me."

Ma Chongfeng was stunned, and on the second day, he asked the surrounding Tibetans about the place called "Buzaraang".

As soon as the Tibetans heard these four words, their faces changed drastically, and they kept silent about it, turned around and left, looking very taboo.

After inquiring about several people in succession, Ma Chongfeng used a little means, and the money could pry the ghost's mouth, and finally let him get the news from an old drunkard.

Buzaraon is a secluded village deep in the gorge of the Uto Snow Ridge, and although it also belongs to the Momba people, it is much more remote than the place where the Momba people live. Hammer

The people there basically refuse to communicate with the outside world, and in the image of the Tibetans in the outside world, it is the gathering place of the evil ravas, which is very terrifying, and there are evil spirits in it, and all the evil spirits that cannot flow into samsara will gather there.

Even if an animal stumbles into the area, it will be eaten into bones by the evil spirits inside in less than a moment.

The old drunkard warned them that when they saw a naturally formed human-shaped lying stone in the canyon, they had to turn back immediately, and after that they would enter the territory of the Buzaraonites completely.

This is also related to a legend that once a monk who had traveled through the temple saw the black sky above the canyon and decided to recite sutras to the area, vowing to send all the ghasts into hell before he died.

The reason why legends are legends is because there is no real basis to confirm them, and everything is just chasing after the wind.

Ma Chongfeng took his brother to the steep valley covered with snow, walked in it for a mile, and sure enough, he saw a stone that looked very much like a monk.

Further in, there are many strange stones, here is like the remains of a huge ancient temple after the collapse, after walking in, they saw a lot of broken small pagodas, the ruins of the broken walls are black and dark in the snow, gloomy and weird. Hammer

The horses under their crotch also became impatient when they arrived here, as if they had sensed the breath of danger, and they pouted their hooves and squirted, and no matter how much they flicked their whips to drive them, they would never move forward.

But Ma Chongshan insisted on going inside, he had a hunch that there would definitely be something he wanted inside.

Helpless, Ma Chongfeng had no choice but to get off the horse, carry Ma Chongshan on his back, and continue to walk inside.

In fact, this place is not as terrifying as the old drunkard said, at least along the way, Ma Chongshan and the two have not encountered anything weird, which shows that the rumors are not true.

After a while, many stone caves appeared in front of me, one by one, hanging on the cliff, looking very much like a house.

The openings of some of the caves are covered with straw mats and felt curtains, blocking out the cold wind that howls.

On the opposite side of the cave is the temple sacrifice site that has not completely collapsed, there is a very large stone altar, which is bloody and bloody, with mysterious patterns, looking like the patterns of birds and animals, and there are very large and complex wings on both sides. Hammer

The Ma Chongshan brothers stayed here for three days, during which they also tried to find the people who lived here, but it was strange that although there were traces of human life in these caves, there was no trace of living people, as if these people had evaporated out of thin air.

On the third night, Ma Chongshan finally met the slender black shadow man who took the initiative to find him before.

Like a ghost floating in the air, and on

The next time, the man suddenly appeared next to Ma Chongshan's pillow.

Ma Chongshan was awakened from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a green fox head, so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body, and he screamed briefly, and when he looked closely, he found that it was a mask on a human face.

The mask had a very narrow chin, pointed eyes and long jaws, and a strange shape, which at first glance I thought was a fox turned into a spirit.

Ma Chongfeng, who was resting in the same stone cave, didn't hear anything, and slept soundly.

The fox masked man was very satisfied that Ma Chongshan could arrive here as promised, and stepped forward to pick up Ma Chongshan directly and led him out of the stone cave. Hammer

Under the cold moonlight, Ma Chongshan saw that there were more than a dozen people around the edge of the stone altar, and they all wore fox masks on their faces.

Seeing this, Zhang Qixun also understood, it seems that these batch products wearing fox masks are the Wang family who got Tianshou silkworm Gu for Ma Chongshan back then.
