the last priest

Passing through this layer is the eighth layer. If people have a premonition that comes from fantasies about future things, then this thing must be connected with the present.

The eighth volume and the ninth floor are actually connected as one, without any separation in the middle.A huge altar runs through the entire two floors, and its shape is very unique and unique!

The entire altar has a "gold" character that gradually rises from the lower sides to the middle, but its base is indeed a solid "卍" character rotation mark.There are steps leading to the middle in four directions, and the intersection is the highest. Its base almost covers the entire tower, which is magnificent.

Common stones are used for the base, but stones of five different colors are used for a corner and the intersection in the middle: the easternmost is a blue boulder, the south is a transparent crystal-like stone, and the west is The white stone, the northernmost is a shiny black boulder, and the stone at the highest intersection in the middle, which is the top of the entire altar, is a huge yellow boulder.

On the surface of each stone there is a round pit the size of a washbasin, about [-] centimeters deep, which does not penetrate the stone and is in the shape of a container.Brown residues can be seen everywhere in these pits, and when they were scraped gently with a blade, these veterans knew that what remained inside were the dried blood powder.

There is no doubt that this place is used to worship the heavens. The middle stone pillar goes straight to the top of the pagoda. There is a window about one person's height outside. The window is located on the west side, which is the side of the mountain. It should welcome the arrival of the god direction.There is also a "卍" mark on the top of the pagoda, and it is sealed at the top, and nothing can be seen. The top is also called the top of the treasure. Generally, this kind of place in temples is for scriptures, and this floor is not. will be credited to the floor.

Everything seems to be very simple. With enough climbing ropes and claw hooks at this height, it can be said that they can climb it without any effort. For them with first-class skills, this is not a challenge.

There is always a string in Zha Wenbin's heart. The safer the place, the more dangerous it is. He understands this truth.On those old graves that seem to be desolate, you just go to sleep and make sure nothing happens.But a corner of a high-rise building on the side of the road may make you hit evil.

There must be something here, with such a complicated first few floors, it is absolutely impossible for people to leave easily.The altar is the most solemn and inviolable place since the day when human beings began to respect the heaven and the earth. Except for the great priest's day, even the emperor in power cannot appear easily, only the one who can psychic Only the High Priest can touch it.

Knowing that there are landmines, but not knowing where the mines are buried.According to the rules for entering ancient buildings, Cha Wenbin lit three incense sticks and two candles in the southwest corner.If there is dirt here, it can be seen by the degree of burning of the candle and the trajectory of the fragrance.Anything that belongs to the underworld will not resist the temptation of incense, and candles are the lamps that illuminate that dark world, which is a fairly simple solution for Taoists.

The incense was burning peacefully, the candles were burning brightly, and everything seemed to be calm.The pointer of the compass is also accurate. The feng shui here can no longer be described well. It can be rich in immortals, but it is definitely not a place to hide filth.

Today is already the fourth day, and the ending of the word "sha" is the most fierce. There will be a catastrophe anyway, but where and when it started, Zha Wenbin has no idea.

"Brother Wen Bin, is there any problem?" Zhuo Xiong had already prepared the climbing hook. After confirming that it was possible, he only needed to flick it, and he planned to smash through the skylight. It was everyone's common idea to leave here.

Cha Wenbin lined his chin with his hand, and continued to scan every corner with his peripheral vision: "I can't tell, I really can't find anything wrong with me, but I always feel that something is wrong."

Those lit incense rose to the zenith, and drifted out along the window. They can go out, let alone people?

Zha Wenbin was very uncertain, but he couldn't hesitate anymore. Now that he is the spiritual leader, everyone is watching him.It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, what should come, will come after all; what can't wait, won't come after all, let's go and see.

"Pay attention to those small changes." This is the last suggestion Cha Wenbin can give.

"En!" Zhuo Xiong raised his hand casually, and the climbing claws landed on the window sill accurately. He pulled it, it was very strong, and it was fastened tightly.Freehand rope climbing, this action has been practiced too many times, in Zhuo Xiong's view, it is no different from the training ground.Grab the rope with your hands, step on the wall with your feet, lean your body weight back, and start climbing.

Very smoothly, Zhuo Xiong has already reached the junction of the eighth and ninth floors.He took a short break and looked down. All eyes were on him. It only took 30 seconds for him to go out.

There is a bulge between Tower [-] and Tower [-]. This is also called "waist ring" in architecture. It is the isolation between single floors and single floors, and the materials used are relatively strong.People who are used to climbing will know how happy it is when a force point appears. It will be very difficult to rely on hand strength alone. Zhuo Xiong also stepped on it without hesitation.

With a "click", the waist circle under Zhuo Xiong's feet suddenly loosened, his heels sank downward, and a pagoda brick was instantly stepped on and collapsed.Then there was another "bang" from above, and the window they regarded as an escape from the sky disappeared, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

Zhuo Xiong turned on the spotlight and saw that the original window had been sealed, and a huge bronze plate engraved with nine lotus flowers completely blocked the exit.

Zhuo Xiong had no choice but to step back and explain the situation to everyone.Mechanisms are very common in ancient buildings, such as this Linglong Pagoda. Its attainments in architectural design can be said to be the pinnacle, and it is impossible for future generations to copy it.

He blamed himself a little, and didn't dare to look into Zha Wenbin's eyes. If it wasn't for that stomping foot, he might have gone out by now.

Cha Wenbin comforted: "It's not your fault. Even if you don't step on it, I or someone else will step on it next time. The person who designed it was good at the beginning. If he can let people in easily, he won't be so easy." Get people out."

Zhuo Xiong said dejectedly: "It's a bronze plate. I don't know its thickness. It can't be opened. Explosives can't be used here." The mouth, people have to be buried alive.The second is that for such a long-standing building, let alone whether the door can be broken, it is unknown whether the tower will not be able to withstand the vibration and collapse directly.

Cha Wenbin set his gaze on the top of his head. He knew that the top of the tower must be hollow, because it was equivalent to an independent room where important scriptures were placed.

Zhuo Xiong understood what he meant, and eager to make meritorious deeds, he immediately said: "Let me try to go up again, but this place is really weird, and the carvings on that bronze plate made me feel panicked. Grinning on it."

"What child?" Cha Wenbin was very concerned about this. This is the first time they found murals in this tower. This is an important message. The ancients were used to expressing everything with patterns.

"There are nine lotus flowers and a child on the door. The child didn't sit in the lotus dish, but came out from the side of the lotus dish. It means that the flower gave birth to a child. The child is still wrapped around his neck. A few circles, I didn't look carefully, it feels like an umbilical cord."

Zha Brown timidly said: "The one you mentioned should be Xin Rao Buddha, not a child."

"Huh?" Zha Wenbin cast his eyes on him. Although the kid doesn't know Buddhist classics, he is very proficient in these unofficial legends.

Zha Brown continued: "According to legend, Buddha Xinrao was born in Womo Longren, and his location should be around this generation. 'Emo Longren' is a word from Zhang Zhung, which means 'nine lotus petals'. It is said that he came from His mother's right side was chiseled out with Yong Zhong, and he is also the ancestor of the Bon religion."

"Yong Zhong? What is it?"

"Oh, it's what you call the 'swastika' sign."

The "卍" marks are intertwined with each other. It is understandable for Zhuo Xiong to regard that tense situation as the umbilical cord.Zha Bei's explanation of this mural left Cha Wenbin uneasy for a long time. How could this godfather named "Xin Rao" be so similar to the god he had been worshiping?

In the legend of Taoism, the "Laojun" was also born from the right side of his mother. When he was born, he was irrigated with water spit out by nine dragons; he was able to walk when he was born, and a lotus flower was born in one step. nine lotus flowers.He has ninety-nine and 81 kinds of divine transformations, and his magic power is boundless. He got 72 chapters of heavenly scriptures in the cave, and then created Taoist religion.Zha Wenbin has always believed that the 72 chapters of the heavenly book mentioned here are not chapters, but 72 characters. It is the incomparably mysterious "Ruyi Book" in his hand that contains everything in the universe.

"Then do you know what the teachings of the Bon religion are?"

"I know, I will recite this: to transform into the male body of the elephant, to manifest the body of Xin Rao, to show the twelve basic skills, to teach the teachings of the nine vehicles, to open the gate of heaven for life, to break the gate of death for death, and to save life in the middle way!" After reciting it, he added: "However, I don't understand what it means."

Zha Wenbin looked up at the closed bronze door, repeating: "Open the gate of heaven for life, break the gate of death for death, save life in the middle way of Yong..."
