Part 4 Kunlun Shrine Chapter 18 Blood Bait Red Flower


"Evil Luohai City" is also known as "Ten City of Fear and Strength".

It and "Door of Disaster" are place names that only exist in ancient legends of Kunlun Mountain.

They have never been recorded in the annals of history.

It is just that it is said to be hidden in the deepest part of Kunlun Mountain.

Did they really exist?

Wall of the Tomb of King Xian The ancient city in the painting may depict the Evil Luohai City, but what is the connection between this northern demon's lair and the bottomless ghost cave deep in the sand sea of ​​Xinjiang?

Can we find the huge eyeball altar there?

There is not much certainty yet.

In the legend, the ancient and evil Evil Luohai City, like the ancient Jingjue City, suddenly and mysteriously disappeared one night, so the powerful Demon Kingdom was in a state of collapse.

It is still unknown what disaster or accident happened there.

I suddenly remembered what Zhang Yingchuan said: "The end has a beginning, and when you meet the water, you find the middle way."

The middle way refers to the golden mean, the right path, which can also be understood as the path of safety and self-preservation.

The avalanche hit the top, and they were trapped in a desperate situation, but there was a bright future and a more mysterious passage was discovered.

This long and narrow slope leads to the deepest part of Longding Glacier.

There may be lakes or underground rivers there.

If there is water, there must be a road.

Thinking of this, I suddenly gained some confidence.

Everyone rested on this gentle slope for about half an hour.

Worried that it was not safe near the demon tower, they started to continue going down.

This permafrost tunnel with earth steps extends in all directions underground and is as dense as a spider web.

We did not dare to take any wrong paths and only followed the main road in the middle.

We could see some spells and marks from time to time, including some eyeball patterns.

Shiry Yang said to me: "If the Samsara Sect only wants to dig through the door to disaster, then there is no need to dig the tunnel into the nine-story demon building.

And judging from the conditions in the tunnel, they were not built at the same time.

It may have been built several times."

Hundreds or even thousands of years, this may be related to their belief that the abyss is the source of power.

But have you ever thought about why the people of the Samsara Sect dug up the demon tower?"

I thought for a while and said, "This is indeed strange.

The demon tower dedicated to the evil god is inviolable.

Could it be that the Samsara Sect wants to take out something important from it?

Besides the glacier crystal corpse, what else could be in the tower?"

We discussed it as we walked, but we never came up with a solution.

After the tunnel extended down the syncline for a while, it connected with the vertical ice abyss.

Although the ice wall was slightly tilted, in our eyes, this angle was no different from going straight up and down, and there was no way to go down.

The bottom of the ice abyss can already be seen here.

Countless dots of light blue fluorescence in the deepest part converge into a shimmering river, meandering under the glacier, like looking backwards at the Milky Way.

Everyone couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful, just like the Milky Way."

There may be crystals below, or there may be luminous creatures such as jellyfish underwater, which is why such a dreamlike spectacle appears.

There are some ruins of broken wood at the entrance of the tunnel.

Hundreds of years ago, there may have been a wooden bridge leading down, but over time, it collapsed and collapsed.

I checked the height visually and found that this was already the very bottom of the glacier, about thirty meters away from the fluorescent river.

From this height, one could fall directly with a long rope.

I told everyone that since there is running water, there must be a way out, and we can use climbing ropes to go down.

Uncle Ming objected.

The ice wall was smoother than a mirror.

A fall of more than 30 meters could kill someone.

It was better to look for another way.

It would be too difficult to slide down the ice wall with a rope.

It's too dangerous.

The fat man looked down and felt dizzy.

He quickly agreed with Uncle Ming to drive the Wannian Ship carefully.

There must be other exits in the tunnel behind with so many branches.

Of course, I don't care about the fat man.

Even if he falls flat, he will be a good man again in twenty years.

But those of us who are supporting the old and the young now have to think about the safety of Uncle Ming and others.

I reminded the fat man, Commander Wang, don’t stand in the wrong team and insist on going through those tunnels instead of taking shortcuts.

What should you do if you get lost in there and can’t get out?

We don’t have to worry about Uncle Ming and the others.

Anyway, according to the previous agreement, the nine-story demon tower has been excavated and the glacier crystal corpse has been found.

From now on, we will go our separate ways.

If we can survive, we will settle the accounts after returning to Beijing. .

Uncle Ming, prepare all your antique toys when you get home.

We won't be polite when the time comes.

I just said this to scare Uncle Ming.

As expected, Uncle Ming was worried that we would leave him and Axiang here.

After thinking about it, he decided that the only way to get out of the glacier was to follow the three Mojin Colonels.

Moreover, this operation would result in the loss of troops and generals.

I have lost all my capital.

Maybe I can find something valuable in the "Door of Disaster" below.

Of course, these are prerequisites for survival, so they said they must never be separated.

When I saw that Uncle Ming was done, I started to prepare the rope.

The long rope was matched with the mountaineering pickaxe to lower it first.

There are many scattered black rotten trees on both sides of the river valley under the ice abyss, and a large number of iceberg crystal stone veins on the river bank, reflecting the light blue fluorescence in the river.

There is no need to use any light source, and there is a certain degree of visibility.

Seeing that there was no danger, I sent a signal to the people above to follow him down.

By the time the fat man finally slid down screaming, a lot of time had already passed.

From digging the wooden tower, fighting fiercely with the wolves, and reaching the depths of the ice abyss, everyone only rested for less than half an hour.

By this time, everyone was inevitably hungry.

Shiry Yang said to me: "We must find a place to rest for the night so that Uncle Ming and Axiang can recover their strength.

Otherwise, if we continue walking, we will really die from exhaustion."

I nodded in agreement, so everyone looked for a place to camp nearby.

The river water here is very gentle, and the water quality is extremely clear.

There are many freshwater jellyfish in the water, which emit fluorescence.

However, although this kind of creature looks beautiful, it is actually very dangerous.

If gathered in large numbers, the jellyfish it emits will Electricity can instantly paralyze large animals.

Shiry Yang warned everyone to stay away from the river as much as possible and be careful not to touch the river water.

The river valley seemed to have no end.

Walking along the direction of the water, I soon found a cave under the cliff covered with crystal stones.

At first glance, it became the most ideal camping place.

The entrance to the cave is spacious and neat, with traces of manual work.

Turning on the flashlight and looking into the cave, a crystal light flashed.

There are also a large number of transparent crystals in the cave, but it seems to be extremely winding and deep, making it difficult to see the depth.

This didn't look like a place where wild beasts roamed, but for safety reasons, I took Fatty in first to do some reconnaissance.

Within five or six steps of going deep into the cave, there is a turning, and the space behind it is about twenty square meters.

It seems that this place is indeed suitable for camping.

The fat man and I held up our wolf eyes and took pictures everywhere in the cave.

There were some ancient stone platforms on the ground, and there were some white bull heads piled in the corners.

On the stone platform, there was a black humanoid wooden statue more than a foot high.

I thought, this is probably the place where the Samsara Sect offers sacrifices.

This little black wooden figure seems to be the same as the "Black Tiger Mysterious Altar" of the cult mentioned by Lama Tiebang.

I asked Fatty to call Axiang and others in and let Axiang see if there was anything unclean in the cave.

Axiang went into the cave and took a look.

There was nothing, dead or alive, and the little black wooden man was nothing.

Now that everything is safe and everyone is very tired, there may not be a suitable place than here if they look further, so they rest in the cave, light a fire and prepare food.

There are some natural small holes on the innermost stone wall of this crystal cave, the size of a fist, but even children cannot get in.

We blocked these holes with stones to prevent snakes and insects from getting in.

Everyone gathered around the fire to eat, but Uncle Ming sighed and couldn't eat.

He asked Axiang to take out his ancestral porcelain cat with thirteen whiskers.

He kept shaking his head, picked up a stone, and smashed the porcelain cat.

A smash.

The fat man looked on with pity and said to Uncle Ming: "If you don't want it anymore, just give it to me.

This tabby cat is hundreds of years old.

Fortunately, it is also a toy.

It would be a pity to smash it."

When I smashed things and broke the four olds, I smashed more than you, but now, don’t I regret it a little bit?”

I said to Uncle Ming: "I remember you paid homage to this flowered porcelain cat not long ago.

It is said that this thing is very effective and its whiskers are not broken.

But why did we break so many hands in the demon tower?

Could it be that we didn't notice it?"

"Almanac, I made a mistake" Uncle Ming sighed and told the truth: "For people like me who have been sailing for so many years, these are the things that I believe the most and are most afraid of those unlucky omens.

The older I get, the less courage I have.

For Just to show off, this porcelain cat passed down from our ancestors, I glued the whiskers to death and couldn’t stop breaking them off.”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, as if he couldn’t stand it, and he waved the broken porcelain cat against the wall. side.

It was a coincidence that the body of the porcelain cat was broken, but its head was still intact.

It rolled to the wall, and it happened to face Uncle Ming.

Under the firelight, the cat's eyes shone brightly, and seemed to be full of energy.

It seemed like he had become alive, which made Uncle Ming even more uncomfortable.

He murmured and cursed: "Old porcelain cat is about to become a sperm.

I will let you stare at me."

After saying this, he picked up the stone and wanted to walk over.

Smash the porcelain cat's head.

I wanted to stop Uncle Ming, why bother?

Why should I get angry with something?

But before I could speak, Uncle Ming's body suddenly froze and he stood there motionless.

His back was turned to us, and I didn’t know what he saw.

I waved, and the fat man had already loaded the gun.

Shiry Yang pulled Axiang to a far corner.

I stood up and saw Uncle Ming staring straight at the cat head, so I asked Uncle Ming what was going on.

Uncle Ming said tremblingly: "Brother Hu, there are snakes over there.

Look over there."

Uncle Ming was bitten by a poisonous snake when he was in Nanyang, so he was very afraid of poisonous snakes.

I thought to myself that I had checked just now to see if there would be any snakes, and why should I be afraid of snakes?

When I looked in the direction Uncle Ming pointed to, I saw that there was a porcelain cat next to its head that I had blocked with stones.

In the hole, the stone was shaking slightly, as if something was about to push out.

I protected Uncle Ming behind me and pulled out the engineer shovel.

No matter whether it was a snake or a mouse that came out of it, I flattened it with the shovel.

Shiry Yang and others also raised their flashlights and shined them from behind.

The stone moved a few more times and finally fell to the ground.

I picked up the engineering shovel and started to pat it, but when it fell halfway, it stopped abruptly.

It was not a snake, but a green plant branch, which bloomed in an instant.

A red flower the size of a sea bowl.

I haven't figured out why flowers grew here, but I heard Axiang suddenly scream from behind.

I was so frightened by her scream that I almost threw the engineer shovel to the ground.

I never thought that a woman who was so scared would make such a noise.

Shiry Yang hurriedly asked Axiang what was going on and if he saw something.

Axiang tried her best to hide back: "I saw that what grew out of the stone hole was a man's corpse, with a lot of blood on it."

After saying that, he covered his eyes, not daring to look at the bright red flower again. it took.

We trust Axiang’s eyes very much and feel that with her by our side, we will save a lot of trouble.

But this time I have to have some doubts.

Although the bright red flower looks strange, it is definitely a plant.

How could it be a corpse?

The difference between the two is too big.

Only Uncle Ming had no doubts about Axiang's words, but Fatty and I didn't believe it.

We both turned to look at Axiang.

What she said was incomprehensible.

Where there were corpses, there was human blood.

Shiry Yang pointed to the red flower growing out of the stone hole and said to everyone, "Look, it has grown."

I hurriedly looked at the red flower again.

Just as I turned my head, it had completed the entire process of blooming and bearing fruit.

At the top of the green branches, a spherical fruit like longan hangs.

Fatty, Uncle Ming, and Shiry Yang and I all have traveled extensively and have seen some strange things, but none of us have ever seen such a weird plant.

It seems that the holes in the stone wall were formed by the plants growing inside.

The tunnel is curved, so you can't directly see what's going on inside, but there seems to be another space behind it.

But what kind of place is it that can grow plants without sunlight and moisture?

I put on my gloves and gently picked off the fruit.

I peeled off the outer hard shell.

Some dark red liquid immediately flowed out, like rotten blood.

The smell was inaccessible.

There was a small piece of minced meat in the middle.

Resembling human flesh.

As soon as the fruit was picked, the green branches withered instantly and turned into a pile of gray dust.

I quickly threw the piece of meat in my hand to the ground and said to everyone: "This is probably the blood bait of the Fruit of Life."

There is a branch of Feng Shui secrets called "Hua", which contains some special cases about the changes of Yin and Yang in Feng Shui.

In places with special Feng Shui conditions, some strange things will happen.

The Longding Glacier we are talking about is part of what the locals call the Shenluogou Glacier.

Although it is a rare low-altitude glacier in the world, it is sandwiched by Yufeng and snow-capped mountains.

Surrounded by it, it is a unique place in the Kunlun Mountains.

Kunlun was originally the origin of dragon veins in the world, and Shenluogou was the top of the ancestral dragon.

Its vitality was abundant and unparalleled among the others.

In fact, the acupoints where anger gathers are not unique to ancestral dragons, but they are extremely rare.

It is precisely because of excessive vitality that corpses buried in some special places on Longding will become immortal.

The immortal corpses in the most vital place are called "Xuanwu Giant Corpses".

Some strange changes may even occur in the caves and underground there, such as the "Fresh Fruit" that constantly grows "blood bait".

We are now at the bottom of the Ice Abyss, with an altitude of only over a thousand.

There is basically no ice anymore, and there are crystal stone veins everywhere.

The Black Tiger Mysterious Altar found here should be a facility like a sacred stove.

It was built by the Reincarnation Sect of later generations after the demise of the Demon Kingdom.

It was mainly used to worship the evil gods in the demon tower.

I thought that according to convention, the little black wooden figure was a symbol of some kind of god, but I ignored that there was a big difference between Tantra Feng Shui and Qing Wu Shu.

In the mainland, it may be enough to have a statue of a god, but now that I think about it, the Samsara Sect may really get such a corpse to sacrifice, and in this place where vitality gathers, it can prove its immortal teachings. .

I explained these things to Shiry Yang and others.

It was necessary to find the entrance to the space behind the cave and go in to explore.

If you are lucky, you might be able to find clues about Evil Luohai City or the Gate of Disaster.

At least move forward.

There is no need to be in a dilemma like a blind man trying to grasp an elephant.

I also told Uncle Ming that this place was very lively and there would be no danger.

Don’t worry, if you don’t want to go with us, you can stay here with Axiang and wait for us to come back.

Uncle Ming was leaning against Fatty and I like the Great Wall.

He was not willing to stay even a step away, so he had no choice but to agree to take Axiang with him.

So everyone rummaged around in the cave, hoping to find some secret passage that could lead to the space behind where the Fruit of Life grows.

Uncle Ming asked me: "There is only one thing I don't know.

Before I entered Tibet, I also did a lot of homework on Tantric Feng Shui.

When the demon tower was built in the Demon Kingdom, Tantra had not yet formed the Feng Shui theory, so it was inevitable that the acupuncture points would be inaccurate.

Look at this The location of the black tiger mysterious altar seems to correspond to the nine-story demon tower.

Is this really the most lively auspicious cave?

If there is a slight deviation and we encounter some demon cave or ghost cave, wouldn't we go there in vain?

"Death" I thought about how old Uncle Ming was, and wanted to back off, so I calmly said to him: "Although the theory of Feng Shui is only found in later generations, since the creation of mountains and rivers, its situation has existed objectively, and future generations are no different.

It almost means to process and organize it, summarize it, and give it a name.

This large area of ​​Longding is the source of the dragon veins in the world.

Wherever the vitality condenses, there will be any strange holes, so you don't want to confuse the public with your lies.

Fatty and I are both hard-hearted.

We don't know it when we grow up.

What is fear?

You can only scare A Xiang."

Uncle Ming felt bored and had to step aside and say nothing.

There were many stone platforms in this crystal cave, arranged in a disorderly manner.

We moved them away one by one, and finally found a low passage behind a stone platform against the wall, with a semi-circular slope inside.

Above the inner cave.

Everyone put on gas masks and bent down to get into the passage.

This passage is not very long.

After going around half a circle, you will see a larger domed cave, about more than 100 square meters.

At the exit is a suspended semi-natural platform.

Looking down, it is pitch black and you cannot see the bottom.

I actually guessed it was blood bait based on the flower growing human flesh.

Other than that, I didn’t know much about this kind of thing because no one had ever seen it, and I didn’t know if it would be dangerous.

However, I never do anything to back down in the face of battle.

If I don’t explore this secret and exhaust its secrets, I will definitely regret it in the future.

The body with the blood bait seems to be underneath.

It was quiet here, except for our breathing, there was no other sound.

Since the light on the helmet was difficult to reach far, everyone leaned down on the stone platform, trying to use their wolf eyes to look down at the terrain, but the beam of the flashlight only illuminated the dense blood-bait red flowers under the platform.

The plants are very dense, with branches and vines clinging to the walls like ivy, hiding everything deep inside.

I called Axiang over in a low voice and asked her to look down from the stone platform to see if she could find the root of the blood bait.

That should be where the giant Xuanwu corpse was.

Encouraged by Shiry Yang, Axiang bravely took a look and nodded to us to confirm.

Through the gap between the blood bait red flowers, she saw a tall human figure underneath.

All the plants grew from that corpse, which meant that the blood bait was part of the corpse.

There might be a sacrificial pit below where corpses were placed, and there must be other sacrifices, so he asked the fat man to find a few fluorescent tubes and throw them down to illuminate the terrain and see if there was a place to stay.

The fat man had long planned to go down and look for valuable artifacts.

After hearing what I said, he immediately threw down seven or eight blue fluorescent sticks.

The platform was immediately illuminated by blue light, and countless blood-red flowers were densely covered.

At the bottom of the cave, many blood bait fruits have grown.

Looking down from above, it looks like a flower bed full of flowers, but the flowers are monotonous in color, and with the blue fluorescent background, they look gloomy and heavy, as if they are all artificial flowers made of paper, without any sense of beauty at all.

On the edge of the flower bush, there is a square boulder weighing a thousand kilograms, which is made of neat iceberg crystal stones.

As we are far away, there are many red flowers crawling on the surface of the boulder.

We can only get through the gaps.

I saw what seemed to be some stone carvings with symbols and graphics.

Under the huge stone, there was a mahogany coffin, and there was a big hole in the opening in front of me.

How could there be such a coffin in a place like this?

I thought the huge square iceberg crystal stone was quite strange, so I decided to go down from the platform to take a look.

Just as I was about to move, my wrist tightened suddenly.

Axiang, who was beside me, grabbed my hand tightly, her eyes full of panic.

I knew without her saying that she must have seen something again.

Shiry Yang seemed to have heard something.

He put his index finger to his lips and made a silencing gesture to everyone.

I immediately gave up the idea of ​​going down immediately, held my breath and lay on the stone platform, turned off all the light sources on my body with everyone, and quietly watched what happened below.

The few fluorescent sticks that were just thrown down have not been extinguished yet.

It is estimated that the light will last for about two minutes.

A slight sound was heard from the cracks in the rocks below.

In the faint blue fluorescence, only a green puppy could be seen.

To describe it, I can only say that the shape of this thing is like a "puppy" with green fur slowly crawling out of the cracks in the rocks.

This thing has no eyes.

Perhaps it has lived in the underground world for many years.

Its eyes and sense of smell have deteriorated.

It did not notice changes in the surrounding environment, and did not find anyone on the stone platform.

It kept devouring the blood bait fruit, very greedily.

As it gnawed away, the red flowers that had lost their fruits withered into ashes.

After a while, a male corpse of more than two meters high was revealed underneath.

My heart beat faster when I looked at it.

What on earth was it?

Just when I was about to look again, the light of the fluorescent stick gradually turned dim and disappeared into the darkness.

I suddenly felt itchy on the back of my hand.

When I touched it with my hand, I suddenly felt something bad, as if a bud of a plant had grown out
