the last priest

The picture was taken by a reader named Xiao Hei this morning, and it was taken at Xuefeng, the Temple of Buluo in the Tibetan area!

"We broke the door of death, death!" This sentence in Daoyi, Zha Wenbin realized that these words were very simple, but they cast a shadow on people's hearts.

At this point, Zhuo Xiong still thinks that he stepped on the mechanism and caused it: "There is always a way, at worst, we will go back the same way, we blow up that stone gate."

"The only way out," Cha Wenbin looked at the top of his head, if the '卍' symbol really has the same meaning as gossip, then "maybe it's on it."

This opportunity, needless to say, let Zhuo Xiong go, trust is unconditional, especially when he has already blamed himself extremely.Dabao helped him tidy up the climbing ropes and eagle claw hooks, squeezed out a smile and said, "Our lives are really entrusted to you."

Swipe the hook, shake the hook. With a sound of "嗖", Zhuo Xiong hooked the top yellow stone accurately. Zhuo Xiong glanced at the crowd and began to climb up three times. There was nothing wrong with reaching the top.

Carefully standing on the top, Zhuo Xiong steadied his body and stood up. His hands could touch the ceiling, and there was a sound of "dong dong" when he knocked inside.

"There is a door!" He looked down, and Zha Wenbin and Yuan Min looked at each other and nodded towards him, which means you can do it.

Zhuo Xiong took out the dagger in his hand and began to grope slowly along the cracks of the bricks. His top is also the center of the entire ceiling.There was originally a faint "卍" sign on the ceiling, reflecting each other with the high altar on the ground, and the most eye-catching thing is the intersection in the middle.

He brushed the spot lightly with his fingers, and there was a hole the size of a little finger in the middle, and there were obvious scratches around the hole, which were irregular marks left by many human touches.Following that hole, he gently inserted the part of his little finger into it, just gently, and immediately felt that something was pushed up.

"There is a mechanism here!" Zhuo Xiong's words at the moment were still a little excited, he thought it was a secret door.Pulling his finger out, he immediately felt the altar shake under his feet, and the other people standing also felt the shaking.Before Zhuo Xiong could stand still, a more violent shaking began, and the situation was like an earthquake.

All this happened so suddenly, Zhuo Xiong was caught off guard and fell from the altar. Fortunately, he was agile enough to grab the climbing rope and was hung in the air, his body swinging back and forth like a swing .

The people below were all engrossed in looking at Zhuo Xiong, and naturally they were unprepared, they all staggered into pieces and rolled into a ball.

The trembling lasted for about ten seconds and finally stopped, and everyone who was shocked got up and looked at each other.

Yuan Min roared: "Is this an earthquake? What did you do?"

"Look at the ceiling!"

With a "click", dust began to fall from the ceiling in the northwest corner, and then the next round of trembling began again. The ceiling with the "卍" structure began to become unstable, and a quarter of its surface was actually loose.

This is an unimaginable sudden situation, just like the clips in the building blocks, the quarter surface of the northwest corner of the originally flat ceiling began to drop inch by inch along a complete line. There was a tremor, and the person's heart was lifted inch by inch from the heart to the throat.

"What's the matter?" "Is it going to collapse?" All kinds of doubts and inconceivables began to emerge as Zhuo Xiong landed.

Only Cha Wenbin slowly closed his eyes and said, "The priest ceremony has finally begun."

Yuan Min was so anxious that he almost stomped his feet: "Mr. Cha, it's been a while, can you make your words clearer?"

There was a shudder on Zha Wenbin's face. It's not that he didn't think about this result. He had already thought about it before coming up, but he couldn't think of the way to break his head.Those clear waters are used for purifying the body, and only those who are about to be touched by the priest are eligible to touch them. Why would the three-legged toad jump into it as soon as it sees it? Spiritual things, this is the conditioned reflex bestowed by the ancestors.

Seeing Yuan Min's berserk face, Xuan said calmly, "We will all become sacrifices."

"Is what he said true?"

Cha Wenbin nodded helplessly: "Open the gate of life for heaven, and break the gate of death for forgetfulness. If you want to live, the only way is to open the gate of heaven. Where is the gate of heaven?" He pointed to the top of his head and said, "there is the sky. Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, it is necessary to transform its body and abandon its bones, that is, it can only ascend to heaven after death."

Yuan Min is not afraid of death, and neither are Dabao and Xuan. They are people who have died countless times, but they have come to this point, and death has to be understood. die.

The raised part was still slowly descending, and the force was like that of a pile driver, and it was getting closer and closer to the top of their heads rhythmically accompanied by the sound of "click".

Just like children's building blocks, the altar below is in a 'convex' shape, while the ceiling above is in a 'concave' shape. When the two are completely merged, the entire tower will disappear completely, and the space here will also disappear. It will be sealed, and the people in it will be crushed to death.

Because now it's not just that one piece that's moving anymore, the ceilings in the other three directions are also shaking again, it's just a matter of speed.Death is very close to them.

Have you ever seen a millstone in the countryside?It won't be long before they will be ground into powder together with their bones and flesh to sacrifice to the heavens. The mechanisms made by the ancients will always be more sophisticated than modern people think.

Wanting to retreat to the lower floor, Zhuo Xiong found that the column had also been replaced by a bronze plate, and they were tightly sealed in this space, with no way out.He took the dagger and began to smash the floor crazily. The sparks from the metal and stone became fireworks for them to see off, and the sound of the collision was the death knell.

Everyone is thinking of a solution, but the more anxious they become, the more chaotic they become. At this time, there is often only one kind of person who is still sober, and he is the person whose heart is dead.In Buddhism and Taoism, enlightenment to Taoism is the same as enlightenment to Zen. The word that is most emphasized when practicing is "quietness". Only when the mind is as still as water can we finally find a breakthrough point at that moment.But this person is not Cha Wenbin, because at the moment he is cultivating humanity, but there is no escape from any humanity, that is the instinctive desire to survive, which is enough to disrupt his thinking, even if he has done a lot alright.

"If this is an altar and we are all sacrifices, where is the priest performing the ceremony?" Xuan's sudden words awakened Cha Wenbin like a thunderbolt.

It is impossible for a ceremony of this scale to have no bystanders. The high priest who represents the communication with the gods will definitely appear in this space. Could it be that he is not afraid of being crushed?

Cha Wenbin glanced at the stone pits of different colors, and he remembered the blood powder residue in there. "Do you want to live? If you do, I'm afraid I will be disrespectful to a person."

"To whom?"

Cha Wenbin pointed to the dwarf's body and said, "A person who is already dead!"

Yuan Min immediately stopped in front of Zha Wenbin and asked, "What do you want!"

"Blood sacrifice!"

"No, he is our comrade in arms, how can you really use him as a sacrifice?"

Cha Wenbin was silent, he knew that his idea was already very dirty, but this seemed to be the only way he could think of.

"If he is still alive, I will stop Brother Wen Bin. If I want a priest, I, Zhuo Xiong, will be the first one. But now that he is dead, even if you don't let him move, he will still be crushed." A mass of blood and flesh, I think the spirit of the dwarf in the sky will agree to let his skin do one last thing for us."

The bump that moved first in the northwest corner is now almost one meter above the ground, and soon, that space will be completely blocked, and the sacrificial pit that originally existed there will also disappear.Running out of time, Xuan went straight to Dabao's side without saying a word, and directly held the dwarf's body and said, "I'm sorry, you have already taken a step first, and I will come to accompany you later!"

The dagger in his hand cut open the dwarf's neck lightly, Dabao and Yuan Min didn't have time to stop it, Xuan's speed was too fast.He had brought the dwarf under the stone, and the dwarf's artery had been severed. Not long after his death, his body was still warm, and the red plasma began to splash.

Xuan at this moment is not like a normal person at all, his face is stern like a murderer, only the sacrificial pit is in his eyes, no matter how much Yuan Min cries and bites his arm, he does not move at all, in order to let the blood flow more Quick, he grabbed the dwarf's foot and lifted it upside down, like a slaughtered animal, so that the blood would flow faster...
