The group of people set off towards the Reincarnation Temple again. With the help of Song Xing, Axiang no longer suffered from altitude sickness, so they moved faster. Not long after, they came to a dilapidated temple.
On the dilapidated ruins, you can still see the once magnificent and glorious buildings. However, at this moment, they are covered by countless winds and sands. Even the temples can no longer be seen clearly, but it seems that you can vaguely feel the atmosphere of the past.
"Look!"
Suddenly, Axiang, who was at the end of the team, pointed forward with her eyes widened.
Everyone followed her fingers and saw several huge statues standing outside the dilapidated ruins.
These statues are all made of stone, and their shapes can only be seen clearly. There are also many huge bronze vessels scattered around.
Not only that, the tops of these stone carvings were actually hung with thick ropes, and on the ropes, bones were tied.
Song Xingxing walked over and squatted at the foot of one of the stone statues, looking at the crimson land that seemed to be soaked in blood.
"It is said that the Reincarnation Sect was very powerful in Tibet back then. How was it destroyed?" Hu stepped forward, stared at the stone sculptures and asked Shirley Yang next to him.
Shirley Yang said: "Acker said before that the period when the Samsara Sect existed was the Guge Kingdom. The Guge Kingdom was a country established by the descendants of the Tubo dynasty. After the collapse of the Tubo regime, the descendants of Osong, the son of Zampodama, came to AD Around the tenth century, the Guge Kingdom was established in the Ngari region of Tibet."
"In the seventeenth century, in order to resist religious interference in royal power, the King of Guge introduced Catholicism, and religious riots broke out. The nearby Darak took the opportunity to send troops and destroyed the Guge Kingdom. It is estimated that the Samsara Sect was also completely destroyed in the war. .”
Fatty Wang asked curiously: "If the Samsara Sect is related to the Demon Kingdom back then, it should have some magical power. Will such an existence be destroyed?"
Song Xing stood up and walked towards the door of the Reincarnation Temple: "The Demon Kingdom back then will be destroyed. No matter how powerful the Reincarnation Temple is, it will not be as powerful as the Demon Kingdom."
Although he did not crack the secret of Muchen Bead, he could feel the huge power contained in it, and he even felt a terrifying energy called "immortality" inside.
The mysterious snake god was born at the beginning of the world. Although his body died, his mysterious soul seemed to have achieved immortality.
This Muchen Bead contains the secret of the immortal soul of the Snake God.
Song Xing was full of expectations for this trip to the demon kingdom hidden deep in the Kunlun Mountains.
After entering the Reincarnation Temple, everyone looked up and saw a huge, broken mural in front of them.
The mural shows that in the Samsara Temple, in a courtyard connected to the palace on the top of the mountain, there is a monster with the head of a leopard and the body of a man.
The monster was several meters long, with thick black hair all over its body, four claws on its back, and a pair of copper bell-like eyes that shone with a ferocious red light.
In the mural, there is a human being who was cut into pieces by the monster and swallowed into its belly.
"What is this?" Fatty Wang stared at the mural curiously.
Ake replied from the side: "This is the monster raised by the Samsara Sect - the Sin-Eating Balu. In the Guge Kingdom, whoever offended the monarch would be thrown into the courtyard and fed to the Sin-Eating Balu."
Fatty Wang looked at the mural and said, "It looks scary. The Reincarnation Temple used a lot of tricks to scare people."
Ake said with a faint look in his eyes: "That's not to scare people. What's recorded on the murals are all things that really happened."
Fatty Wang smiled: "How is it possible? Is there such a monster with a leopard head and body in reality?"
Ake insisted that he would not lie and that the sin-eating Balu was real.
When Song Xing heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Ake, do you know how Sin-Eating Balu was born?"
Hearing Song Xing speak, Fatty Wang immediately fell silent.
Unexpectedly, Ake shook his head and said: "According to the records of the Guge Dynasty, Sin-eating Balu is a divine beast sent by God to assist King Guge in managing his people. It symbolizes justice. Anyone swallowed by it is a sinner. .”
"God-given
? Song Xing chuckled, then looked at Hu and said, "Do you still remember what the Queen Mother of the West looks like?"
Hu was startled and blurted out: "Leopard tail and tiger tooth body."
Then he turned his attention to the sin-eating Balu on the mural. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this monster was very similar to the Queen Mother of the West described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Fatty Wang also looked incredulous, "Do you think this is the Queen Mother of the West?"
Song Xing shook his head: "Of course not. I guess this is some kind of monster developed by the Kingdom of the West and was obtained by the Samsara Sect. The image of the Queen Mother recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas may be this kind of monster that was mistaken for the Queen Mother."
Hu looked over in surprise: "Are you saying that the Western Queen's Motherland mastered a kind of sexual symbiosis technology back then, and that's why it created this monster?"
Song Xing said: "Maybe, but these are just legends after all. They are too old and there are no documented records. It is just a guess."
A group of seven or eight people walked around the dilapidated Samsara Temple, but still found no clues.
"Is the map you provided accurate? How can there be any clues about the Demon Kingdom in this ruined temple?" Seeing that he had gained nothing, Fatty Wang turned around and complained to Lei Xianming.
Lei Xianming was also a little puzzled: "The map is fine. Maybe the clues are hidden in these murals. Let's look for them again."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a huge sound not far away. Perhaps due to its age and disrepair, a huge pillar finally could not withstand the erosion of the years and fell down without warning, hitting the ground heavily.
When the smoke dissipated, everyone looked there and saw that the fallen pillar hit a wall, making a big hole in the wall.
Looking through the entrance of the cave, there is actually a cave inside.
The few people were refreshed and hurriedly walked towards the entrance of the cave. After digging through the abandoned bricks and stones, they discovered a secret passage.
Lei Xianming's bodyguard named A Dong jumped down first at Lei Xianming's signal. After waiting for a while, everyone followed.
When they arrived in the cave, the first thing they saw was a huge bronze door.
"It's the Bronze Gate again. Could it be that this is the Immortal Gate again?" Fatty Wang saw the Bronze Gate and immediately remembered what happened in King Xian's tomb.
Song Xing said, "It's not the Gate to Heaven." As he said that, he pointed to the door. Fatty Wang looked intently, and then he discovered that there was a Buddha statue in front of the door.
Lei Xian was obviously very happy. He stepped forward and looked at the Buddha statue carefully to see if it was made of gold.
"Hey, Lao Lei, didn't you come to Kunlun Mountain to find your father? Don't forget business. I'll take care of these worldly things."
Fatty Wang, who was obsessed with money, stepped forward to stop Lei Xianming.
Ignoring the drama between the two, Song Xing looked at the five-meter-long bronze door in front of him and asked Ake next to him: "Is there anything special about this bronze door?"
A trace of horror flashed in Ake's eyes: "This is the Gate of Hell. It is a portal connected to hell built by the Guge Dynasty. It is said that whenever someone commits a crime in the world, Sin-Eating Balu will appear from the Gate of Hell. , will eat up those who have committed evil deeds."
When Song Xing heard this, a look of interest flashed in his eyes: "You mean, there is a living Sin-Eating Balu behind this door?"
