No one was in the mood to sleep in the middle of the night. Zhou Qiao was too sleepy to care so much and closed her eyes to sleep.
When the match burned out and it was almost dawn, Yang Qian took out the wolf meat that had been roasted last night and handed it to him. Not to mention, it tasted almost like dog meat, but it was chewier than dog meat.
The morning sun shone on Namjagbarwa Peak. Yang Gan looked at Namjagbarwa Peak and saw it hovering on the top of the mountain like a giant dragon. Surrounded by endless snow-capped mountains, the towering and majestic momentum at a glance made it look like a giant dragon. People are shocked.
"Amitabha!" Suddenly a voice sounded from behind. Yang Gan turned around and saw the incompetent monk standing beside him. He asked with a smile: "Have you seen enough, little master?"
"Yes!" Yang Gan nodded and said with admiration: "The uncanny craftsmanship of nature is indeed breathtaking, and this is indeed an excellent Feng Shui treasure land."
Wen Meng clasped his hands together and said, "Namjagbarwa Peak is a rare wonder in the world, and it is located at an extremely high position and is surrounded by other peaks, so it is called 'Namchagbarwa'." After a pause, he continued:
"Although Namjagbarwa Peak is a geomantic treasure, it is not a blessed place, because its main vein is a tributary called the 'West Sea', so its terrain is not surrounded by mountains and rivers. On the contrary, it looks like a tomb. The Feng Shui master just named it 'Nanga Bawa'."
"Oh, that's it." Yang Gan was thoughtful after hearing Wenwei's words.
Zhou Qiao heard the conversation between Yang Qian and Wenwei, opened his eyes and walked over, saying, "I didn't expect you to know this, Wenwei..."
"Haha, the young monk knows a little bit about it."
Zhou Qiao smiled and said nothing. They packed their things and continued walking forward. The heavy snow last night had covered the ground with a thick layer of snow, and the corpses and blood stains left by the wolves were submerged underneath. At first glance, it seemed as if last night was just a dream and nothing happened.
The compass pointer pointed to a sunken hillside. This place was the lowest in the entire area and was surrounded by steep and rugged peaks. Zhou Qiao found traces of someone coming there. Several people searched around and found the bottom right corner. There is a burglar's cave not far away, which can probably accommodate two or three people.
Everyone climbed down along the robbery hole. The robbery hole was about ten meters deep and led to a crack in the ground. The crack in the ground was very narrow and could only allow one person to squeeze through. Fat Brother got through first, followed by Yang Qian. , the incompetent monk takes the back seat, and finally Zhou Qiao.
After passing through the long and narrow crack in the ground, everyone discovered that this was a tunnel extending diagonally downwards. The walls of the tunnel were smooth and flat, and it looked like it was very old.
After walking for about five or six minutes, everyone finally reached the end of the tunnel. A stone door stood here with ancient patterns carved on it. There were twelve diamond sculptures guarding the door, each holding an iron pestle.
Several people looked at each other. The fact that the stone door was open meant that someone had already gone in, maybe it was that group of people. In short, they had to go in quickly, otherwise they would miss the opportunity.
Zhou Qiao opened his backpack, took out the flashlight and was about to walk in. Fatty suddenly grabbed him and shook his head to signal him to come. Zhou Qiao was stunned for a moment and looked at Fat Brother in confusion.
"You don't understand that there are many mechanisms in this tomb, so let me do it."
After saying that, he raised his flashlight and shined it into the stone door. He saw that the space inside was very large, surrounded by walls made of giant stone slabs. The top of the stone wall was inlaid with many fist-sized beads, and various shapes and shapes were placed on both sides. There are different Buddha sculptures and many murals on the walls. The incompetent monk is very interested in these murals and has been studying the patterns on them.
Fat Brother checked carefully with a flashlight and found no traps. Then he turned around and waved to continue moving forward.
Suddenly, Fat Brother heard voices in front of him and quickly stopped to greet everyone: "Shh!"
Zhou Qiao followed Fat Brother's fingers and sure enough, there were figures flashing behind the stone wall: "Is it them?" Zhou Qiao asked Fat Brother in a low voice.
"Yeah!" Fat Brother nodded heavily, and then made a silent gesture.
Everyone quietly groped forward and saw clearly what was going on in the stone chamber through the gaps in the stone wall. They saw a man sitting in the center of the stone chamber, leaning against the stone wall and meditating quietly with his eyes closed. His attire was probably that of the Longhu Mountain Taoist priest. There were two other people beside them. The two young men were tall and muscular, with thick black eyebrows and strong facial contours. They were full of beards and looked very powerful. They exuded a faint murderous aura.
One of the old men was talking to the beautiful woman. The old man looked ordinary, but he exuded an evil aura that was very different from ordinary people. The corners of his mouth were curved into a smile, which made people feel eerie and strange. He was holding a drum in his hand. Keep turning.
The more Zhou Qiao looked at the drum, the more sinister he felt. He thought that he had seen this kind of drum in his family notes, and suddenly remembered what it was - a human skin drum.
According to written records, the somewhat legendary human skin drum did exist in Qiaowan Town, Anxi County before liberation. It had not just one side but two sides. The drum surface was as big as the mouth of a soup bowl and as small as the mouth of a rice bowl. The color was brownish-yellow. The nerve fibers of the skin are also revealed. When the wind blows, the drum will make a dull self-sounding sound.
These two human skin drums were made by the Emperor Sheng of the Qing Dynasty after he punished two corrupt officials, father and son, for cheating and plundering in the construction of the Qiaowan Palace.
The lama was holding a "human skin drum" made of human skin.
It's really evil.
The woman next to him has a slender and graceful figure. She is wearing a black bodysuit that outlines her exquisite curves. Her long black hair shawl hangs down around her waist. Her fair skin is crystal clear and can be broken by blows. She is exquisite and beautiful. Her appearance reveals her allure with every frown and smile, but no matter how good her appearance is, she can't hide the vicious heart underneath.
Everyone winked at each other and then slowly exited the stone room. Yang Qian quietly leaned into Fat Brother's ear and asked softly: "What should we do?"
Fat Brother gritted his teeth and endured the murderous intent, and said in a deep voice: "Just wait and see what happens, wait for the opportunity to act. If you are discovered, Xiao Yang, you deal with the woman, Xiao Zhou deal with the Taoist priest, I will deal with the two young men, but the lama ...Xiao Neng, how sure are you?"
You can hear the worry and solemnity in Fat Brother's tone. After all, his opponent is not an ordinary person.
Wenwei was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, staring at the Buddha statue on the opposite wall and said, "How will you know the result if you don't try?"
"Okay, everyone, please pay attention to safety. If we lose, we will retreat immediately and think of a solution," Fatty warned.
Zhou Qiao smiled: "It's okay, I'm sure to get out."
After everyone discussed it, they went to the stone crevice again and observed every move of the people inside. The man in the middle of the stone room was still sitting quietly and practicing. Time passed little by little, and Fat Brother became more and more anxious. Yang Gan could see that Fat Brother was upset, so he patted Fat Brother on the shoulder to calm him down.
Suddenly, the woman didn't know what she said. The Taoist priest opened his eyes, stood up suddenly, took out a mahogany box from his arms, and pushed the box in front of the woman. The woman took the box and took out a special The ancient jade is cylindrical in shape, with a lifelike lotus pattern engraved on it, which looks very mysterious.
The woman embedded the ancient jade into a groove in the wall, and then rotated it according to a certain pattern. One of the stone doors made a clicking sound and slowly rose up.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the stone door. When the stone door rose, the situation inside was exposed. It was actually a sealed stone chamber. The stone walls around the stone chamber were carved with countless Buddhist murals. They were so dense that it was dazzling. At that time, a withered skeleton sat in the middle of those murals. The skeleton was dark gray. It should be a mummy, and the original appearance could not be seen.
There is nothing in the stone chamber except this skeleton. There are only three stone tablets next to the skeleton, two of which are engraved with Sanskrit and the other with simplified Chinese characters. Surrounded by Buddha statues and murals, Zhou Qiao and others I don't understand it at all. I understand it a little bit but I can't understand it for a while.
