the last priest

Ji Yunlong didn't refuse any more, and took away the ugly knife. There are too many inexplicable things in the Tibetan area. This Taoist priest may be right. If he hadn't acted in time to press the ghost bed just now, maybe there would be a knife on his neck right now. There were two more blood holes.

These are all eight-one bars, and the magazines are all pressed with solid iron. The soldiers who have been ordered to fire will suppress the danger in a hail of bullets as soon as they encounter any slightest sign of trouble.

Zhuo Xiong, who was following Cha Wenbin, asked in a low voice, "What kind of guy is it?"

Cha Wenbin stretched out two fingers and made a jumping motion in the palm of his hand. Zhuo Xiong was taken aback. The meaning of this motion was: Zombie!Zhuo Xiong immediately pinched the small knife that Cha Wenbin gave him in his palm. The shape of this knife is indeed very ordinary, but the blade is made of ancient silver, which is the silver ingot from the previous dynasty. Things like zombies work wonders.

The blood stain disappeared after walking about ten meters inside. The floor of this passage is made of wood, connected by countless back-shaped wooden frames. Inside the wooden frame is a cross-shaped cross bar. Slightly lower and concave-convex.Normal people have to bend over when walking here, and they can't straighten up at all.

The passage twists and turns, and the width gradually changes from two people to one person, and people need to crawl through the narrowest place.

A soldier found a piece of rag hanging on a log. The color of the cloth was a little dark red. It looked like it had been there for many years, and the fibers of the cloth had begun to weather.

Holding the small piece of fabric, Ji Yunlong glanced at the crowd behind him and shouted, "Master Lama, please come here."

Zha Bei looked and looked left, pointed at himself and said, "Me?"

Knowing what he found, Cha Wenbin said to Zha Brown, "Go."

Ji Yunlong took the small piece of cloth in his hand and made a comparison with the monk's robe on Zha Brown's body. Except for the difference between the old and the new, the rest are not much different.The red color of the lama's robe is a unique color of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and Ji Yunlong has preliminarily confirmed that this piece of cloth belongs to a corner of the lama's robe.

Holding the rag, Ji Yunlong ordered: "Continue!"

Cha Wenbin, who had been following the team, was always holding a compass in his hand. He found that the trajectory of the compass showed that their team had been circling. He measured the approximate range of the circle, which was about half the size of a football field. The first passage is spiral and leads to the deep underground, but do Tibetan temples have the habit of building underground palaces?

Zha Wenbin asked as he walked, "Zhabi, is there an underground palace under the temple you stayed in?"

Zhalu replied: "There are only me and the master Lama in our temple. I have never heard of an underground palace, but some larger temples also have underground palaces, where scriptures and relics are stored."

Cha Wenbin asked again: "Will there be any corpses?"

Zha Brown smiled and said, "We are different from you in the Central Plains. Most people here use sky burials after death, and some people use cremation or water burial. The corpses are generally not preserved."

"Oh!" Zha Wenbin didn't intend to ask any more questions.

"However." Na Zhabi thought for a while and said: "It is said that some temples used to set up a kind of prison to imprison the devils that the gods refused to accept. Cultivation is a positive result. I have only heard of it, and I have never seen such a prison."

"Then do you know what the imprisoned devil looks like?"

Zha Brown shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before. It should not be as powerful as your devils." Ever since he encountered the accident at Yangcun Middle School, he believed that it was the center of hell, where the most powerful devils in the world lived.

Looking at the ups and downs of this passage and the cross bars on the ground, Cha Wenbin suddenly remembered a saying, and he shouted: "Brother Yunlong, can you ask the brothers to stop for a while?"

"What's the matter?" Ji Yunlong was impatient for revenge.

Cha Wenbin said with a straight face, "A question, are there any zombies in Tibet?"

"Zombies? Are you saying that zombies are harming people?" Ji Yunlong still knew about this thing from books and film and television works, the kind of things that jump upright in Qing Dynasty official uniforms.

Zha Brown took a step forward and said: "We have weak men here, very similar to the zombies of your Central Plains generals."

"What is a weak man?"

Zha Brown went on to say: "A kind of devil that is formed in the body after death. It does not rot, can bite people, and it is said that it can also suck people's blood."

Zhuo Xiong asked: "Aren't you all directly buried in the sky after you die?"

Zha Brown shook his head and said: "In our Tibetan areas, especially in towns, no matter who dies, they are not immediately sent to the celestial burial platform to feed the eagles, but placed in their homes for a few days and asked monks to chant scriptures and pray to save the dead. After being sent to the dead, the body was buried at home for at least three to seven days. The recorded cases of corpses turning into weak men generally occurred during this period.”

Cha Wenbin signaled Ji Yunlong to wait, and then asked, "Have you seen it?"

Zha Brown shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, but many old people and celestial burial masters have said that they have seen the corpse of a weak man, and have seen it many times. But the corpse is not sudden, but in advance. There are signs. Those corpses that are about to rise have swollen faces, purple-black skin, bristling hair, and blisters on their bodies. Then they slowly opened their eyes and sat up, then stood up and ran straight forward with their hands raised. This kind of corpse, relatives will notify the powerful lama to take it in. My master once encountered it when he was young.

These weak men have one thing in common: they can't speak, they can't bend down, they can't even move their eyeballs, they can only stare straight ahead, and they run straight forward.If a living person is encountered, the corpse will "touch the top" with stiff hands. "As he said, he put his hand on Zhuo Xiong's forehead, and Zhuo Xiong slapped it off.

Zha Brown took his hand back and continued: "As long as the top is touched, the living person will not move, and then the weak man will open his mouth to bite people. After a while, the bitten person will also become a weak man, an infectious disease. One. It is said that a long time ago, a great lama in a temple died, and all the monks in the temple put his body in the scripture hall of the temple, and then everyone sat in the hall to chant scriptures and pray day and night, without closing their eyes for three consecutive days and three nights.

On the third night, those lamas who were exhausted from reading couldn't help but fell to the ground and fell asleep, snoring like thunder.One of the timid young lamas stared at the body of the big lama intently because he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep.In the middle of the night, he suddenly found that the zombie sat up.The little lama was so frightened that he forgot to wake up the monks, and rushed out of the door, knocking on the door of the temple and fleeing for his life.As a result, hundreds of monks in the whole temple became weak men overnight.Fortunately, they couldn't get out of the temple gate, they just ran rampant inside the temple, causing a great disturbance. "

Cha Wenbin asked: "Why can't they rush out, just rely on that temple gate?"

The more Zha Bei talked, the more energetic he became, and even Ji Yunlong was temporarily attracted by him, Zha Bei continued to spit and spit, and continued: "Didn't you realize that the doors of our Tibetans are very short, don't we weak people?" If they can bend over, they will naturally not be able to get out of the low door."

Indeed, in the past, the doors of houses in Lhasa, Shigatse, Nyingchi and other areas were very short.Even in the ornate pavilions, the doors on the ground floor are still low, at least one-third shorter than the standard doors.Unless it is a child, most people have to bow their heads to get in and out.Moreover, the topography of the doorway is low inside and high outside, forming a slow slope shape, which makes the door surprisingly short, giving people a feeling that the ratio between the room and the door is seriously out of balance.

In recent years, with the arrival of new architectural styles, the old-fashioned low doors of the past are running out, but this kind of low doors can still be seen in some old buildings left over, such as temples.

Zha Wenbin subconsciously looked at the current location. The tunnel is only about 1.4 meters up and down. If it is really a weak man, can this weak man get in from the outside?

Unless... unless the weak man who bit the man was a dwarf!

Judging from Zha Brown's description, this kind of weak man is very close to the usual zombies, but he can also turn living people into his own kind.

"Oops! We have to turn around and go out." Cha Wenbin said.

Seeing his nervous expression, Ji Yunlong asked, "Why?"

Cha Wenbin pointed to the height of the space here and said: "If it is true what Zha Bei said, then the soldier lying outside is turning into a dead body. If we rush back, there may be time to stop it."

"Do you really believe what this lama said?"

"It's not that I believe it, but that what he said just now that hundreds of lamas turned into zombies is true."

"How do you know that you have been to Tibet?"

Cha Wenbin took out a dilapidated book from the gossip bag, pointed to the book and said, "I came here because of a picture in this book, and this book tells about a man who has attained the Tao. What I heard and saw in Tibet included encountering hundreds of zombies in a temple. The mountain in the picture is now proven to be real, so the story in the book is probably not fake!"
