Chapter 199 – The Infinite Fire
Uncle Ming was eager to move the valuable pope’s body up, so he couldn’t wait to do it, he just inserted the ice-breaking brazier into the ice layer under the “Snowy Mountain Mummy”, and the whole golden body was engulfed by a pillar of blue fire coming out from underneath the ice, which was like a fire dragon spewing out huge flames, shooting straight into the sky outside the ice bucket.
According to the reincarnation sect scriptures, the blue flame and the rest of the flame is different, reincarnation sect called “infinite karma fire”, is the legend of the soul can be burned to ashes of the fire, who did not expect, this snowy mountain golden mummy underneath, will hide such an ancient and vicious trap.
Fortunately, Fatty’s quick eyes and hands, in the instant the flames jetted up, will Uncle Ming backward, Shirley Yang and I also tugged Ah Xiang to dodge backward, all the people are shrinking to the corner of the ice cellar, just feel the tip of the tongue dry, as if the whole body’s moisture is evaporating dramatically, had to stick his face to the ice wall, and desperately use his tongue to add to the ice surface of those frozen bodies of the martyrs.
At this time, every second seems to be a long time, coupled with the “infinite karma fire” jet up the sharp whistling sound, in the narrow confined ice cellar, sounds particularly alarming, but now can not do anything, can only hope that the ghost fire as soon as possible to dissipate, if there is no fresh air in, no one can support for a long time.
The whistling sound of infinite fire finally stopped, because we lost the ability to perceive the length of time, do not know just after a few marvelous clock, or longer time, look at each other, good thing no one is injured, only Uncle Ming did not wear a mountaineering helmet, just now in a panic, head was hit by the ice wall, but also no serious injury.
Ice cellar in the “golden mummy”, has been “infinite karma fire” burned into a mass of black carbon, all the people shocked, are not interested in looking at it, suddenly heard someone shouting above, listen to the voice is to guide the first year.
Maybe the wolves took advantage of the darkness to touch up, but how come no one shot? I can not think about it, climbed onto the ice first, only to see Peter Huang and the first, is busy rescuing Han Shuna, I approached to see, heart suddenly a shock, Han Shuna’s face were “infinite karma fire” burned away, probably when she was on top of the top bent down to see, due to darkness, but not as good as we are in the close distance, immediately reacted to the result of just by the “infinite karma fire” burned away, but also the “infinite karma fire”. As a result, her face was burned by the Infinite Karmic Flame, her nose and eyes were all gone, and under her nose was still relatively intact, but this was only in comparison to the part of her head that had been burned to ashes, and the lower part of her cheeks were almost burned away, and since her lips were burned away as well, the only thing that remained on her face was the two rows of bare teeth and the black tongue inside, which made her look very scary. It was very scary.
Han Shuna collapsed on the ground, motionless, the first year shook his head at me, it seems to be dead on the spot, you see her brain is baked dry, the whole head dented in one-third, the inside of the cranium burned to the ground, into a big black hole.
I saw Han Shuna died so miserable, I also feel gloomy, took a blanket, the body covered, lest let Uncle Ming see this tragic situation can not accept.
At this time, Uncle Ming and other people also climbed up one after another, looked at us a few people, and looked at the ground covered with a blanket of the body, just wanted to ask his wife where to go, but found that the blanket under the big curly hair exposed, Han Shuna’s face burned, but that “infinite karmic flames” does not seem to have spread to her hair, Uncle Ming look at the hair, already know what happened, shook two times, and then the body was covered with a blanket, and the body was covered with a blanket. Uncle Ming knew what had happened when he looked at his hair and swayed twice, almost fainting, and Peter Wong rushed to hold him up.
I winked at Shirley Yang and asked her to take Ah Heung to the tent first. Although I don’t know how Ah Heung feels about her godmother, but based on her guts, she would have to be scared out of her wits when she sees that faceless corpse.
I also can not bear to see Uncle Ming sad overly, but can not think of how to persuade, had to call the first one on the side, and he discussed, can the Uncle Ming, A Xiang, Peter Huang and first take back, this Long Ding glacier crisis, and then let them continue to stay here, it is difficult to guarantee that no longer out of other dangers.
The first difficult to say, Du Ji brother, now I’m afraid that want to go can not go away, you see how thick the clouds on the sky, we are in the Karamir Pass, see those black-necked waterfowl far away, it seems to really have a cold snap to come, the snowy mountains have four seasons, the weather is becoming too fast, no one can predict, only in the year in the wind speed is low, there is no rain or snow days can enter the glacier, May is the most suitable, now is September! In the middle of the month, it is also an auspicious time, but the weather on the snowy mountains cannot be speculated by reasoning, the weather changes when it is said to change, and in less than two hours, a heavy snowfall will fall.
Although here is not so big as the snow mountain, but the topography of the Long Ding glacier is very complex, it is speculated that this place may be in ancient times, is a huge mountain lake, so there is a “disaster of the sea” of the name, and then after the Himalayan mountain building movement, making the altitude of this place rose, the temperature decreased, the whole lake evolved into a large glacier, the occasional avalanche, making the glacier, the whole lake, the lake, the lake, the glacier, the glacier, the glacier, the glacier, the glacier, the glacier. Occasional avalanches, so that the glacier is getting thicker and thicker, inside the terrain is also more and more complex.
In summer, a very thick layer of glacier will melt, the thickness of the ice will be reduced a lot, that’s why Han Shuna will step through an ice bucket, in the season of low temperature, this situation will not happen, and now in the dragon top glacier, many crisscrossing ice crevasses and ice leaks, ice buckets, are exposed.
Come in when there is no snow is okay, but the mountain, but a cold wave, the snow poured down, less than two or three hours, will cover the glacier, the fragile places under the ice but not yet frozen solid, fall down on the end, even the most experienced guides, but also dare not lead the team to dabble in this time, not to mention the wolves followed into the mountain, in case of a situation, they will certainly come to take advantage of the fire, want to go back, it is We must wait until the snow stops and the glacier completely freezes before leaving.
I and the first year is talking, I feel a cold face, this snow has fallen when talking, I busy back to the crowd gathered, explained the current situation, to leave, at least need to wait for two days later, and I and Fatty, Shirley Yang, three people already have the determination of the kettle of fish, do not put the evil god of the devil’s kingdom of the evil tower digging up a bottom to the sky, will never stop, not to mention the snow, under the knife also do not retreat.
Uncle Ming old tears, say some of what he and Han Shuna truly love each other, what mountain insurance has not been away from the side, waking up common in front of the bed and so on, I and fat man thought he was too sad, began to babble, is trying to persuade him to rest, did not expect Uncle Ming suddenly came to such a sentence: “can not lose a lady and folded, this time the top of the hard, do not dig out the glacier crystal corpse on not I won’t go back.” Then he instructed us that if anything happens to him, he must ask us to bring Ah Heung back.
I see Uncle Ming obsessive, also have nothing to say, I think I and fat man big gold teeth these people, and not so, money is obsessed, many times, the reason why the failure, not the lack of wisdom, not enough guts, in fact, is only the interests of people make people dizzy, although they understand this reason, but put yourself in the shoes of the real turn, who can not think of this reasoning, after all, they are all mortal, who do not have a pair of eyes that can see the truth, but they can not see the truth, they can not see the truth. Who also did not grow a pair of eyes that can see the clear beginning and end of the eternal Buddha, and we used to be too poor.
By the time we finished our discussion, it was already almost midnight, the snow started to fall heavily, the sound of wolves howling in the distance in the wind and snow, we put Han Shuna’s body next to the camp, covered with a blanket, Fatty and Peter Huang is responsible for digging some ice bricks, built on the edge of the tent, used to block the wind and prevent the wolves from attacking us.
Shirley Yang and I once again went down into the ice bucket, hoping to find some clues to confirm the location of the Nine Layer Demon Tower, and preferably dig it up before dark tomorrow.
The tombs of the demon kingdom have a kind of transparent ladybug called “Dapu” by the tantric sect, and anyone who gets close to it will be burned to ashes by the infinite karmic fire. Before we went to Tibet, we had already thought of a countermeasure to deal with the situation, and the water in the kettle will freeze quickly on this cold plateau, and it is impossible to use it, while the air-pressurized spray cans filled with ginger juice can be sufficient to put the “Dapu” into the ice, and it can be used as an insect to protect the environment. The air-pressurized spray can, filled with ginger juice, would be enough to put out the ghostly flame of “Dapu”.
However, this put reincarnation religious master of the golden body of the ice cellar, the sudden appearance of a huge blue column of fire but in our unexpected, after Shirley Yang’s view, this kind of column of fire may be a kind of ancient organs, the devil’s country of the ghost fire reincarnation of the clan will not use, just imitating the kind of infinite karma fire to create a kind of artificial spitfire bracket, under the body is a sealed space, which is loaded with a large number of secret medicines, for years and years of absolutely! Closed environment, so that the secret medicine and stagnant air within the mix, forming a special gas, touching the snowy mountain golden body mummy, the ice layer will be broken to trigger it to burn, the tomb owner would rather corpse burned to ashes, but also can not be disturbed by outsiders.
In the deepest part of the ice cellar, behind the ice wall melted by the flames, there is a bigger ice cave, in which we found a hidden ice chamber, it looks like it is used to put the burial artifacts of the godfather, in the very center of the room is placed a three-tier spirit tower, symbolizing the heavenly, the underground, and the earthly, and the spirit tower is one and a half meters high, all of them are made of gold, and embedded with all kinds of pearls, and the multitude of jewels is strictly decorated and glowing.
Shirley Yang placed a few fluorescent tubes around the illumination, I use the probing yin claw pry open the door of the tower, the spirit tower in the middle of more than a dozen similar to the “ga wu” of the protection of the treasure box, as well as red and white coral, Yunshi, onyx, and other treasures, the lower side of the layer on behalf of the underground, are some food, tea, salt, dried fruits, medicinal herbs and so on, the upper layer has a set of gold silk robes and a leaky carving.
We see the highest part of the spirit tower carving lacquer painting, similar to the silver eye mural of the temple of reincarnation in the ruins of Guge, with a foreign beast to represent the orientation coordinates, and in the middle there is a nude translucent woman, that should be the glacier crystal corpse, from the placement of this accompanying mausoleum tower, as well as the description of that book of ancient scriptures and scrolls, the demonic tower for the evil gods, just to the west of the ice bucket, no more than thirty meters within the scope of the dragon top glacier, to say the least, there are Hundreds, even hundreds of tombs of the successive godmasters of the Reincarnation Sect, what we have discovered is only one of them, these tombs are all arranged according to the star chart of Tantric Buddhism, arching over the nine-story demonic towers that the Demon Kingdom has left behind since ancient times, there is no need to look for more, with this one reference, together with the description in the scripture scroll, we can surely find the ultimate goal tomorrow.
The walls of this ice room is carved with the image of many evil spirits, it looks like the treasure in the spiritual tower are cursed, according to my meaning, is more lice do not bite, more accounts do not worry, even if these treasures are dumped out also does not matter, but now the big thing at the moment, also do not have the heart to care about these yellow and white things, so Shirley and I and Yang will be the “spiritual tower”, as it is set up. So Shirley Yang and I put the “spirit tower”, according to the original arrangement, back to the glacier.
I let the people take turns to rest, by me and the guide of the first shift, the two of us lying behind the ice wall, while observing the surrounding movements, while drinking to keep warm, not long ago there are still hidden traces of wolves, at this time has been completely covered by the wind and snow, said the wolves, if they do not come to the attack tonight, it may be to retreat to the forest to avoid the snow to go.
I saw that the first year is very familiar with the nature of wolves, and heard him say that he had served as the captain of the Karamir wolf fighting task force, I could not help but be a little curious, so I asked.
The first told of his previous experience, before the liberation, his family for generations are for the head of the work, when he was a child, when he was seven years old, the wolves once bitten dozens of sheep, this phenomenon is very unusual, the head of the people thought it was someone offended by the mountain gods, they will be his grandfather skinned alive, but also to take the first to the gods, and then his whole family fled to thousands of kilometers away from the Karamil settled down, on the way to his father! His father was also killed by the horsemen who caught up with him ……
First said every paragraph, to be silent for half a day, obviously those tragic past, not too easy to face, I see him not want to say, also no longer pursue the question, this time the night has been deep, the snow on the ground is gradually becoming thicker, the firelight, you can see not far from the snow raised a piece of the place that is placed Han Shuna’s body, I suddenly found that the mass of snow moved, busy hands of the shotgun grip tightly, raised the flashlight shines over! I thought in my heart that it might be a hungry wolf that had come to steal the body, but I immediately realized that it was not the case, Han Shuna was crawling out of the snow pile with stiff hands and feet, and the beam of the flashlight shone through the wind and snow in the night, and it just shone on her face that had no face skin and was charred black like carbon, and her two rows of exposed teeth were the most eye-catching.
