Volume 1 Chapter 101: Seventy-two Earthly Evils
When it was my turn to slide over, I didn't feel a hint of warmth over the fires.
It stands to reason that the ignition point of these ghost fires is very low, and it is not easy to extinguish when burning, and the temperature should be very high.
"Hurry up, those ghost fires are floating up!" Wen Nan suddenly shouted on the stone platform on the opposite bank, and I looked down and found that the ghost fire, which was still more than ten meters away from me, was slowly floating upward.
I cursed and started to push my hands a little harder, leaning forward as much as I could, hoping that I could go faster.
And Master Cao, who was following me, was much heavier than me, and he noticed that the ghost fire floating up was even more excited than me, and his mouth scolded while quickly sliding towards me.
Because I was slower than him, Master Cao suddenly hit me, and my whole body leaned to the side, almost falling.
This scared me enough, my body couldn't help but tremble, the eldest sister's face was also a miserable white, and her mouth was open, but she was relieved to see that I was in danger at the end.
I scolded at Master Cao: "Can you stop squeezing, we'll all explain here later!" ”
"I don't want to, Third Master, but I'm too heavy to control it at all..... Don't ink it, slide forward, if those ghost fires light the two of us, we'll hang here like grilled sausages! ”
I nodded and didn't talk nonsense, I swung forward hard, and the butterfly was not idle, he pulled the wire that grabbed me hard, and quickly pulled me over.
As soon as I went up, I saw Master Cao screaming, those ghost fires had reached the soles of his feet, and the whole shoe instantly burst into flames.
"Pull me, pull me, pull me, scalded, scalded!" Master Cao screamed, and I hurriedly put a hand on the butterfly and pulled him up.
Master Cao was pulled up and hurriedly pushed his shoes down, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt plastic and special synthetic materials.
Master Cao's shoe quickly burned into a black mass, and Master Cao sat on the ground and looked at his shoe blankly.
"It's a fire, this ghost fire is so damn powerful, it only burned all the shoes of this waterproof material to ashes in a minute....."
The eldest sister said coldly: "Go first, don't stay here, those ghost fires are still floating up." ”
I followed the eldest sister's gaze and found that those ghost fires were about to float to the stone platform where we were, so I hurriedly picked up Master Cao and walked forward.
Fortunately, there is a pavilion almost three meters high on each stone platform, and two fierce-looking stone statues of imps stand on the pavilion, and it is squatting in the middle of the pavilion.
We hid in the pavilion and soon found that all the ghosts in the abyss below were floating up all around, and even the iron cables were stained with ghost fire.
The top of the iron cable seemed to be poured with fire oil, and the ghost fire turned into a "fire dragon" along the iron cable, spreading towards each iron cable. We were surrounded by many "fire dragons" in this way, and seeing that the ghost fire was about to float towards us again, the eldest sister hurriedly said: "Put the fireproof cloth on your head!" ”
A few of us wearing fireproof cloths hurriedly took it off our bodies, and then several of us gathered together and squatted on the ground, and together we used our hands to block it above our heads.
In this way, a few of us huddled in a corner of the pavilion, with a fireproof cloth on our heads, and the ghost fire failed to ignite us.
But I felt the chill from the ground, and I knew that the ghost fire was now floating above our heads, and once we went out, it would be burned to the ground.
Hiding under the fireproof cloth, Master Cao said: "I counted just now, there are a total of thirty-six stone platforms here, and there are two stone statues of little ghosts in the pavilion on each stone platform...... There should be something strange between this. ”
The eldest sister shook her head and said, "This is not a little ghost, it is seventy-two earth demons." ”
As soon as the eldest sister mentioned the seventy-two earth-shattering, I instantly reacted, and I was still very familiar with this thing called the seventy-two earth-shattering.
I first learned about this in "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West".
Taoism likes to say that there are seventy-two earth-shattering stars in the Big Dipper, and the seventy-two leaders in the Water Margin are attached to Liangshanbo.
In Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's master, Bodhi Ancestor, also mastered the techniques of the channel, and the two spells that Sun Wukong chose at first were the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang and the Seventy-two Earth Demon Techniques.
This is what the world often calls the thirty-six and seventy-two changes.
In fact, the seventy-two earths are not seventy-two ghosts or imps, it is just a term that represents the stars in ancient times.
However, there were also people in ancient folks who visualized these seventy-two earthly demons and created their true bodies. Later, because of the name, he was like an evil god, and over time, the people who worshiped the seventy-two earthly demons were regarded as believers who believed in evil gods.
I told me what I knew about the seventy-two earth-shattering beings, and the eldest sister nodded, and then added: "There is a record that if the seventy-two earth-shattering ones are gathered together in one place, then a great murderous cover will be formed. ”
This Kunlun Mountain is a dragon vein, what is a dragon vein? The dragon vein refers to the place where the luck and yang energy are excellent, and the seventy-two earth evils are regarded as the evil stars among the yin qi.
Now this tomb is built in the land of extreme yang, but there are extremely yin things in it, not yin and yang are so harmonious, it is difficult to imagine what kind of mentality the tomb owner has.
One of the guys quipped: "I'm afraid this tomb owner is not a yin and yang person, right?" ”
Normally, I would laugh out loud, but now that there are terrible ghost fires all around, I don't have the heart to joke at all, and the eldest sister also glared at the guy coldly, and he instantly closed his mouth.
"Bai Sha is in front of us, he didn't alarm these ghost fires, why did the ghost fires become agitated as soon as we came over?" I said.
I don't believe that Bai Sha has reached this level of supernatural powers, and the eldest sister is professional and cautious enough, but she still disturbs these ghost fires.
Is Baisha even more powerful than the eldest sister?
Master Cao said: "There are too many of us, and the quality of these ghost fires is very light..... As we slid over these cables, the wind currents caused them to float quickly. And there is only one person in Baisha, only the movement is not very big, and it will not disturb the ghost fire. ”
