Chapter 198 Infinite Karmic Fire
Uncle Ming was eager to move the valuable Pope's body up, so he couldn't wait to do it. As soon as he inserted the ice-breaking rod into the ice layer under the "Snow Mountain Mummy", the entire golden body was engulfed by a blue pillar of fire that emerged from under the ice. The pillar of fire spewed out huge flames like a fire dragon, and shot straight into the sky outside the ice bucket.
According to the scriptures of the Samsara Sect, the blue flame is different from the rest of the flames. The Samsara Sect calls it "Immortal Karma Fire", which is a legendary fire that can burn all souls to ashes. No one expected that there would be such an ancient and vicious trap hidden under this snow mountain golden mummy.
Fortunately, the fat man had quick eyes and quick hands. At the moment when the flames gushed up, he drove Uncle Ming to the back. Shirley Yang and I also pulled Axiang back and dodged. Everyone shrank into the corner of the ice cellar. They felt the tip of their tongues dry, as if the moisture in their bodies was evaporating rapidly. They had to put their faces on the ice wall and desperately used their tongue to add the ice surface that was frozen with the corpses of the burial beings.
At this time, every second seems extremely long. Coupled with the sharp whistling sound of the "Infinite Karma Fire" ejaculation, it sounds particularly thrilling in the narrow and cramped ice cellar, but now it can't do anything. I can only hope that the ghost fire will dissipate as soon as possible. If there is no fresh air in, no one can last for long.
The whistling sound of the infinite karma fire finally stopped. Because we lost our ability to perceive the length of time, we didn’t know how many wonderful clocks had passed or whether it was a longer time. We looked at each other. Fortunately, no one was injured, only Uncle Ming did not wear a helmet. In a panic just now, his head was hit by the ice wall, and it was fine.
The "golden body mummy" in the ice cellar has been burned into a ball of black carbon by the "Infinite Karma Fire". Everyone was shocked and had no intention of looking at it again. Suddenly, someone shouted and heard the sound of the guide in the first year of the junior high school.
Maybe the wolves were touched while it was dark, but why didn't anyone shoot? I didn't even bother to think about it and climbed onto the ice first. Peter Huang and Chuyi were rushing to rescue Han Shuna. When I walked closer, I felt a sudden stern in my heart. Han Shuna's face was burned by the "Wuliang Karma Fire". Maybe she was leaning over and looking down at the top. Because it was dark, it was not as good as we could react immediately. As a result, the "Wuliang Karma Fire" was burned to the face, the nose and eyes were gone, and the nose was relatively complete, but this was just a comparison between the parts of the forehead that had been burned to ashes. The skin below was almost completely burned. Because the lips were also burned, there were only two rows of bare teeth and the dark tongue inside, which was very scary.
Han Shuna fell to the ground, motionless. Chu Yi shook her head at me. It seemed that she was dead on the spot. Look, her brain was dry, her whole head was one-third of its concave, and the skull was burning in a mess, making it a big black hole.
Seeing Han Shuna die so miserably, I felt sad, so I took a blanket and covered the body so that Uncle Ming would not be able to accept the tragic situation.
At this time, Uncle Ming and others also climbed up one after another, looked at the corpse covered with blankets, and looked at the corpse under the ground. Just as he was about to ask his wife where he went, he found that the big curly hair exposed under the blanket, and Han Shuna's face was burned, but the "infinite karma fire" did not seem to spread to her hair. Uncle Ming knew what was going on when he looked at her hair. After shaking it twice, he almost fainted. Peter Huang quickly supported him.
I winked at Shirley Yang and asked her to take A Xiang to the tent first. Although I don’t know how A Xiang has a relationship with her godmother, with her courage, I had to be scared to find something wrong when I saw the faceless body.
I couldn't bear to see Uncle Ming being too sad, but I couldn't think of how to comfort him, so I had to call Chu Yi aside and discuss with him whether I could bring Uncle Ming, A Xiang, Peter Huang and the others back first. The Dragon Ding Glacier is full of dangers. If they continue to stay here, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no other dangers.
In the first day of the New Year, I was embarrassed to say that Brother Duji, I am afraid that I can't even leave now. Look at how thick the clouds in the sky are. We saw those black-necked water birds flying away at the Karamir Pass. It seems that a cold wave is coming. There are four seasons on the snowy mountain. The weather is getting too fast. No one can predict that only the wind speed of the year can enter the glaciers without rain or snow. May is the most suitable. Now it is mid-September, which is also auspicious time. However, the weather on the snowy mountain cannot be speculated by reason. The weather changes as soon as it changes. Within two hours, heavy snow will fall.
Although the mountains are not covered with heavy snow, the terrain of the Longding Glacier is very complex. It is speculated that this place may have been a huge mountain lake in ancient times, so it was named "Sea of Disaster". Later, after the orogenic movement of the Himalaya Mountains, the altitude here increased and the temperature decreased. The entire lake evolved into a large glacier. Occasionally avalanches made the glacier thicker and thicker, and the terrain inside became more and more complex.
In summer, a very thick layer of glaciers will melt, and the thickness of the ice layer will be reduced a lot, so Han Shuna will break through an ice bucket. This situation will not happen in the low temperature season. Now, many crisscrossing ice cracks, ice leaks and ice buckets in the Longding Glacier are exposed.
It was okay if it didn't snow when it came in, but once there was a cold wave in the mountains and heavy snow fell, it would cover the glaciers in less than two or three hours. The fragile areas under the ice had not frozen yet, and it would be over. Even the most experienced guides did not dare to lead the team to take risks at this time, let alone the wolves followed into the mountain. In case of a situation, they would definitely come to take advantage of the fire. If they wanted to go back, they had to wait until the snow stopped and the glaciers were completely frozen before leaving.
Chuyi and I were talking, and my face felt a chill. The snow had already started to fall as I spoke. I hurried back and gathered everyone, explaining the current situation. To leave, it would take at least two days. Moreover, Fatty, Shirley and Yang, I, were already determined to burn my boats. I would never give up until I dug up the evil gods of the Demon Kingdom to the sky. I would never give up. Not to mention snowing, I would not retreat without quitting.
Uncle Ming was crying and said something that he and Han Shuna truly fell in love, and never left their side. They were sober that they often stayed in front of the bed. The fat man and I thought he was too sad and started talking nonsense. They were about to persuade him to rest, but Uncle Ming suddenly said: "You can't compensate the wife and the soldiers. This time I'm going to be forced to do it. If you don't dig out the crystal corpse of the glacier, you won't go back." Then he asked us that if he had any accidents, we must take Axiang back.
I saw that Uncle Ming was obsessed with it and had nothing to say. I thought to myself that the same thing was the case with Fatty Big Gold Ya, and I was obsessed with money. Many times, the reason why I failed was not because of lack of wisdom or lack of courage. In fact, it was just because of the interests that made people dizzy. Although they all understood this principle, when it was their turn, no one could remember this principle. After all, they were all mortals, and no one had a pair of Buddha eyes that could clearly see the beginning and end eternal. Moreover, we were too poor before.
By the time we finished the discussion, it was almost midnight and the snow began to fall heavily. The sound of wolf howlings in the distance appeared and disappeared in the wind and snow. We placed Han Shuna's body next to the camp and covered it with a blanket. Fatty and Peter Huang were responsible for digging some ice bricks and building them on the edge of the tent to block the wind and prevent the wolves' sneak attacks.
Shirley Yang and I went down to the ice fight again, hoping to find some clues to confirm the location of the Nine-level Demon Tower, and it is best to dig it out before tomorrow morning.
There is a transparent ladybug in the tombs of the Demon Kingdom called "Dap" by Tantra. People who are approaching will be burned to ashes by the infinite karma fire. Before we entered Tibet, we had already thought of a solution. On this cold plateau, the water in the kettle will soon freeze and cannot be used at all. The air-pressure watering can filled with ginger juice can extinguish the ghost fire of "Dap".
However, the huge blue fire pillar that suddenly appeared in the ice cellar where the master of the Reincarnation Religion was beyond our expectations. After Shirley Yang's inspection, this fire pillar may be an ancient mechanism. The Demon Kingdom's Ghost Fire Reincarnation Sect will not use it. It just imitates the infinite karma fire to create an artificial fire spurt machine. Under the golden body is a sealed space, which contains a large amount of secret medicine. The absolutely closed environment accumulated over the years makes the secret medicine mixed with the air that stagnates it, forming a special gas that touches the golden body mummy of the snow mountain. Once the ice breaks, it will cause it to burn. The tomb owner would rather burn the body to ashes than be disturbed by outsiders.
In the deepest part of the ice cellar, behind the ice wall melted by flames, there is a larger ice cave. We found a hidden ice chamber inside. It seems to be used to store the burial objects of the leader. In the center is a three-story spiritual tower, symbolizing the sky, the ground, and the earth. The spiritual tower is 15 meters high, all made of gold, and is covered with various pearls and decorated with treasures, dazzling.
Shirley Yang placed several fluorescent tubes around to illuminate the tower. I used my slight claws to pry open the tower door. There were more than a dozen protective treasure boxes similar to "Gawu" in the middle of the spiritual tower, as well as red and white coral, marble, agate and other treasures. The bottom represents the underground layer, which is all about grain, tea, salt, dried fruit, medicinal materials, and the upper layer has a set of gold silk robe and empty carvings.
We saw the carved lacquer painting at the highest point of the spiritual tower, similar to the silver-eyed mural of the Reincarnation Temple in the ancient grid ruins. It uses a strange beast to represent the direction coordinates. There is a naked translucent woman in the middle, which should be the crystal corpse of the glacier. From the placement of the burial tower and the description in the ancient scriptures, the demon tower dedicated to the evil gods is just west of the ice bucket, within a range of no more than 30 meters. There are at least hundreds or even hundreds of tombs of the leaders of the Reincarnation Sect in the Dragon Top Glacier. All we have found is one of them. These tombs are arranged according to the star map of Tantric Buddhism, guarding the nine-story demon building left by the Demon Kingdom since ancient times. There is no need to find more. With this reference object, combined with the records in the scriptures, the final goal will definitely be found tomorrow.
The walls of this ice chamber are carved with images of evil ghosts. It seems that the treasures in the spiritual tower have been cursed. According to my opinion, there are too many lice and no worries about too many tents. Even if you pour out all these treasures, it doesn’t matter. However, at present, you don’t have the heart to care about these yellow and white things. So Shirley and Yang and I arranged the "spirit tower" as it is and returned to the glacier.
I asked everyone to take turns to rest. The first shift of the first grade of junior high school was held. We were lying behind the ice wall, observing the movements around us while drinking to keep warm. The wolf tracks that had appeared faintly not long ago were completely covered by wind and snow. If the wolf pack did not attack tonight, they might have retreated to the forest to take shelter from the snow.
When I saw Chuyi was very familiar with wolf nature, I heard that he had served as the captain of the Karamir Wolf Fighting Team, and I couldn't help but be curious and asked for it.
Chuyi talked about his previous experience. Before liberation, his family worked for the heads for generations. When he was a child, when he was seven years old, the wolf pack killed dozens of sheep at one time. This phenomenon was very abnormal. The heads thought that someone offended the mountain god, so they peeled his grandfather alive and took Chuyi to sacrifice to the gods. Later, his whole family fled to Karamir, thousands of miles away, and settled down. On the way, his father was also killed by the horse team that caught up...
