the last priest

"All get down on the ground, spread your limbs, and move back slowly." Xuan became the commander of the team at this moment.

The sound of cracking was heard continuously under the ice surface, which was a sign that it was about to collapse. I don't know that the ice layer, which has been hundreds of thousands of years old, is finally about to collapse today.

After retreating to a relatively safe place, Xuan said to the dwarf, "You are the lightest, take the rope and go over to see, he is stuck at the entrance of the cave."

The dwarf changed from his previous playful smile, took the rope from the big man and said, "Remember to pull me back!"

The dwarf was as light as a swallow. He kept his hands and feet on the snow at the same time, keeping his strength evenly distributed. Soon he saw Zhuo Xiong who was stuck in the snow hole. He took off the rope and threw it down. Zhuo Xiong immediately grabbed him.The dwarf made a gesture towards the back, and the big man began to pull back, inch by inch, first a head, then half of the body, every inch of pulling force might burst the already fragile ice surface.

The dwarf had retreated to the safe area first, Zhuo Xiong took a deep breath, and then he needed to move his body to the snow, which required the support of an arm.Zhuo Xiong carefully propped his elbows on the snow, tried to use his strength, it was a little better than expected, and then he pressed all the strength of his body.

Taking a deep breath, he also put the other hand up, and began to move his body slowly. As long as he goes up a little bit and leans his waist completely, he can feel at ease.Raising his elbow, he took another step forward, there was a "click", Zhuo Xiong secretly said badly, and rushed upwards with all his strength.

"Crack", the ice layer finally broke, he didn't care about it, he just let go of his feet and ran.Every step on the snow was a burst of explosions, not far from Zha Wenbin was so anxious that he was about to jump, Zhuo Xiong was still Lian Jiazi, and the speed of the impact was absolutely dissatisfied.When he successfully ran to the safe period, he only heard the "rumbling" sound of collapse behind him, and a snow field the size of a basketball court had completely disappeared.

The falling snow blocks immediately began to create a snow mist due to the impact, and it took a long time for the mist to dissipate.

Suddenly, it can be seen that there are countless people lined up in the pothole. The standing people have a faint layer of frost on their faces. These people are arranged in a regular order, just like the terracotta warriors of Qin Shihuang. .

The dwarf touched his chin and smacked his lips: "It's really spectacular, is it buried with you?"

The pit was very deep, and the ice layer had not completely collapsed. These "people" were still wearing animal skins rather than spun cloth. They held various weapons in their hands, including simple wooden sticks, sharpened spears, and Stone implements; some people have red coral unique to Tibet hanging around their necks, while others are necklaces strung together with animal bones.There are no women or children, only young and middle-aged people. It looks more like an army guarding the foot of the mountain.

"Do you want to go down and have a look?" Yuan Min was asking for Cha Wenbin's opinion.

Cha Wenbin's eyes are surprisingly good, which is also the benefit of washing his eyes with tea all the year round, because Taoist priests need more sensitive vision than ordinary people, and he has to see more things that ordinary people cannot see.

The marks the size of a copper coin were drawn on the foreheads of those people. He was somewhat familiar with this mark, but he couldn't remember where he saw it, but he was sure that it was not a word, but a symbol.

I filtered it over and over again in my mind, thinking over and over again, where did I see this symbol.

"Seal the soul."

"What did you say?" Yuan Min only heard Cha Wenbin mutter.

"That's right, it's the Soul Sealing Curse!" Zha Wenbin's voice suddenly increased a lot of decibels, so that everyone around him was shocked. What did the Taoist priest see that made him so excited.

After thinking for a long time, Cha Wenbin finally remembered where he had seen this symbol before.At the foot of the Kunlun Mountains that year, in those ancient books written by Priest Yun, he had seen this mysterious symbol, a reversed "卍" character, but there were three more horizontal strokes on the head of the "卍" character. The High Priest Yun discussed whether the symbol was spelled wrong.

But the high priest Yun said that this symbol is a kind of spell, which can seal up the three souls and seven souls of a person, and let them enter an infinite sleep and never wake up.However, Priest Yun's classics only have the spelling method, but there is no specific spell. That is to say, this ancient spell has long been lost. He called it the soul-sealing spell, which is a very vicious spell.Perhaps this curse was too vicious, so the ancestors only mentioned it and did not pass it down. Now that I see it again here, Cha Wenbin immediately remembered it.

The dwarf looked at it and said, "You mean the mark on their foreheads? Isn't that a Buddhist '卍' character? This is Tibet. It's not unusual for this thing to appear, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"This can't just refer to the Buddhist mark. This symbol appears all over the world, whether it is the Majia Kiln in the Yellow River more than 6000 years ago, or the Mesopotamian Plain, and it can be seen in the Byzantine art of ancient Rome. The 'Swastika' symbol, even the Polynesians, the Mayans of South and Central America, and the Navajo Indians of North America all used the swastika and the swastika." After finishing speaking, Yuan Min deliberately Glancing at Zha Wenbin, he said, "Mr. Zha, how did I go?"

Zhafu burst out for no reason: "However, don't you think that the arrangement of these people is more like a lotus flower?"

Zha Wenbin squinted his eyes, and he found that the person in the middle of these people was the tallest, and then began to spread out in a fan shape, layer upon layer, and the height of each layer was similar, while the height of the outer layer was a little shorter .And these heights are not actual heights, but caused by their postures. These people all face the one in the middle, and then lean back. There are nine layers in total, and they really look like a lotus flower.

"Soul-sealing spell seals three souls and seven souls, and sleeps forever. The word '卍' means firm belief and eternal soul. Take three people and hang them on the top, and the soul will not come out." What is soul sealing, how to seal soul, Cha Wenbin already had his own interpretation of this symbol in his mind.It suddenly occurred to him that the soul-sealing person was not completely dead at the time, but was just sleeping, wouldn't that be the same as a vegetable?

Seal the soul?vegetable?lotus?By the way, he suddenly remembered the four words written on the note that Yuan Min gave him: Shenglian Purifying Water!Could it be that the one who broke the soul-sealing curse was the Holy Lotus Purifying Water?

Opening the thread-bound book, Zha Wenbin remembered that there was a record in the book, saying that in order to find Shenshui, he encountered a "very high snow wall", and he couldn't walk over it anyway. Later, he shot a The arrow, the arrow pierced the gable and opened a great tunnel in which he walked for nine days.

Who can open a great tunnel with an arrow?This is almost in the Arabian Nights!But looking at the big hole in front of him, Cha Wenbin felt that what was written in the book was not a joke, because Zhuo Xiong also dug such a big hole with a shovel. In front of you?

"Go down!" Cha Wenbin said.

"What? You want us to go down?" Yuan Min felt that there were inexplicable dead people everywhere. Although she was not afraid, it didn't mean she was willing to deal with dead bodies.

Cha Wenbin nodded and said: "Yes, this is the passage leading to that mountain, otherwise we won't be able to get through."

"Are you crazy? The snow-capped mountains are right in front of you, but you insist on drilling from the ground?"

Cha Wenbin raised the book in his hand and said, "If you don't believe me, we can divide into two groups. You go on the ground, and we go underground."

Yuan Min was given the task of protecting Zha Wenbin. Although she could only choose to remain silent, she still said unconvinced, "Why are you so sure? Just rely on that broken book in your hand?"

"Verify everything in the book one by one. I have no choice but to believe it, and I also know this mountain now. It is not Sunba Jingxue at all, but Jiuqu Linglong!"

"what are you talking about?"

Cha Wenbin put his arms in his arms and said, "I told you, you won't understand. Zhuo Xiong, we will camp here tonight, and we will go down tomorrow morning."

Why did Cha Wenbin do this all of a sudden?

That's because he remembered the legend that the high priest Yun told him: "The ancient tribe originally lived in the southwestern plateau, which is the hometown of witchcraft. The water and grass are fertile and the seasons are like spring. There is a sacred mountain that is more magnificent than Kunlun. It is called Jiuqu Linglong. The top of the mountain is transparent and has nine sides, each of which can emit dazzling light. One day, a roc flew to the top of the mountain and gave birth to two eggs, one of which was white and one was white. The one is black. The black one hatched a demon, who did all kinds of evil; while the white one hatched a true god. The two of them started fighting from birth, and finally the white god sealed the black demon in the world with all his strength. After reaching the top of the mountain, their hometown has been frozen for thousands of years, and they have no choice but to start migrating."

Originally, Cha Wenbin thought it was just a legend, but today he saw the Soul-Sealing Curse, it was because the Soul-Sealing Curse was created by that black demon, he used it for fun and harmed the world.
