Chapter 85 Exploring the Mysteries of Northern Tibet (28)
The young man's face remained motionless, still tilted at a strange angle, with his entire face at Wei Xun's feet. Wei Xun saw that its facial features were no different from those of ordinary people except for its blue and black skin. However, its eyes were shriveled and its two eye sockets were like deep black holes.
After taking a closer look, I discovered that there was actually a layer of transparent crystal slate between it and Wei Xun's shoes, but at first glance, I thought it looked like the face was close to Wei Xun's soles.
The other party didn't respond. He looked like a normal mummy. Wei Xun thought for a while and looked up from the angle of the black man's face. What he saw was the top of the Crystal Mountain, which was blocked by layers of blue prayer flags. This floor is not high, and Wei Xun has to half-crouch to stand inside. He casually pulled off the pile of prayer flags and saw that behind the prayer flags, on top was a round crystal stone as big as a tabletop.
It should not be part of the Crystal Stone Mountain, because the crystals at the top are pure and transparent, but this round crystal stone is light blue, clear and beautiful, with white natural lines on it, which looks like a blue sky and white clouds.
This human face is looking at the 'sky', the round crystal stone deep in the earth that looks like the blue sky. It turns out that the highest level of this crystal tower is not empty, but is dedicated to the highest blue sky that Bon believers yearn for.
Wei Xun thought of the underground ruins that resembled tombs that Xu Yang had discovered. The mummies buried in the soil were also in a weird posture with their heads completely raised and looking at the sky. Now it seems that maybe this was some kind of religious sacrifice during the ancient Zhangxiong period. Form, when they raise their faces, they are not looking at the people on the earth, but looking towards the sky and yearning for higher places.
But the person buried there was definitely not as high-status as the green-black-faced person at Wei Xun's feet. It can really see the "blue sky and white clouds" deep underground through the transparent crystal plate. Being buried here must be an important figure in Bon religion at that time.
No, it’s not burial, it’s ‘guarding’.
Wei Xun noticed that around the blue sky round crystal stone, there was a circle of black stone slabs, which was the radiating black ore. It looks like a larger black circle surrounding the blue sky crystal stone.
Does the black surrounding the blue sky represent the night or the black devil?
Wei Xun guessed it was the latter, because this circle of black ore crystal slabs was actually made up of nine black ore slabs made into a ring with exquisite craftsmanship, and each black slab was engraved with patterns.
Wei Xun squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and found that the nine patterns from beginning to end were engraved with the words 'The devil comes and devours humans', 'The devil causes war', and 'Buddha descends to subdue the devil'.
The fourth picture is "Priest Gu Xin received a dream from the Buddha, and together with King Shang Hung, he devoted the entire dynasty's efforts to build Xiaowei Molongren under the Saikang Temple." The fifth and sixth pictures are "Buddha defeated the devil." 'Buddha tore the demon into two parts, suppressed the big one in the lake, and sealed the small shadow into human skin'
On the seventh picture, there is a nine-story swastika tower, which is very similar to the nine-story crystal swastika tower that Fox Zai saw on the mural in the side hall, except that it depicts the interior of the tower.
On the top floor of the crystal tower, there is a swastika character. On the second floor, there is a Guxin priest wearing a sacrificial robe and a feather crown. On the third floor, there is a half-human, half-dragon figure with seven snakes behind his head. He is holding a symbol representing the four stars in his hand. The dragon god with the black skull of a hundred kinds of diseases. The fourth level is the god Dalameba who controls the evil ghost insects. He holds a golden wheel in one hand and nine crossed swords in the other.
Further down, there are Bon priests under Gu Xin, Xiangxiong warriors holding weapons, slaves kneeling on the ground, etc., from high to low. It's just that except for the slaves, everyone has a strange posture with their faces raised and looking above their heads.
Wei Xun guessed that the nine-story swastika crystal tower was designed to suppress evil spirits and was not a symbol of the prosperity of the Zhangzhong Kingdom at all. The so-called first layer is filled with agate, the second layer is filled with pearls, and the third layer is filled with ivory. In fact, it is just a metaphor for the guardians in the tower. The ivory is used to metaphor the powerful Zhang Zhung warrior, and the gold and carnelian are used to metaphor the nobility. The Benbo priest.
I'm afraid it has been passed down through history, and it has become 'the treasure house of King Shang Hung' and 'the most precious crystal tower'.
On the contrary, it is said that 'the crown of Garuda's horns is placed on the top of the tower'. This sentence may be true. Wei Xun thought of the empty gold box in the golden miniature temple on the top of the tower.
The nine-story swastika on the picture goes from high to low, from the most noble to the most humble. At the bottom are slaves who have no human rights and kneel down like animals. Their bodies were separated, blood filled the bottom layer, and their skins were peeled off, sealing the passage to the underground.
There is another layer below the bottom layer, where the devil's human skin is sealed, and there is a shadow of a green-faced fang on the screen.
If the first seven pictures are records of history, the picture on the eighth black stone plate is different.
At first glance, the eighth picture is almost the same as the seventh picture. They both depict a nine-story swastika crystal tower, but things inside have undergone strange changes. Black shadows penetrated the entire crystal tower. All the statues, warriors, and priests in the tower changed from looking up at the sky to looking down at the ground.
Moreover, their figures became blurry, as if they were shrouded and eroded by black shadows. Outside the Crystal Tower, the sacred mountain collapsed and the lake surged, creating an apocalyptic scene.
"This is talking about the changes that will happen in the crystal tower and the disaster outside after the demon is unsealed?"
Wei Xun looked at the last black slate with interest, only to find that there were no lines on it and it was completely blank.
Is this blank because everything was destroyed after the devil resurrected? Or does it have any special meaning?
Wei Xun raised his hand and touched the black stone slab, as if he was thinking deeply, and explored whether there were dark patterns carved on it by touching it. But in fact, he was hesitating to say to the fox cub: "Can this black slate be eaten?"
The fox cub whined numbly, always feeling like he was being used in some strange way by Wei Xun.
‘Yes, I can eat it, but to expand the capacity, I need yang energy! ’
‘Don’t worry, your yang energy will not be lost. ’
Wei Xun felt comforted and touched each black stone slab in turn, letting the fox cub devour them all. He actually wanted to take away the 'blue sky and white clouds' crystal disc, but the capacity of the fox cub's belly was not that big yet.
‘I have to find a way to get more yang energy’
Wei Xun put this matter on the agenda. It was a bit embarrassing to just catch Bao Bao and suck him. He considered waiting to see if there were other channels after returning to the hotel.
‘Report to the master that the insect swarm has sneaked into the fifth floor’
Xiaocui reported in real time that he saw Wei Xun's action of taking away the black stone slab, and rolled his eyes, wondering what he was thinking: 'The insects can't go any further, more than half of the advance insect swarm has been killed or injured. ’
'oh? ’
After Wei Xun entered the crystal tower, he ordered Xiaocui to use insect swarms to explore the entire crystal tower and find out all the secret doors. As soon as he heard about something that could kill swarms of insects, Wei Xun thought of the gold-plated and silver-embedded skull in his hand. Could it be something similar?
‘What is it? ’
‘It’s a stone half as tall as its owner’
Xiaocui swallowed when she spoke, her eyes were green like a wolf, and she said to Wei Xun again: "It has very powerful energy, master, it, it is really important to me."
That kind of thing will kill the insect swarm because the energy contained in it is too strong, but it is a great supplement to the mother insect.
‘Let the insect swarm bypass the fifth floor. If it can’t be bypassed, don’t go down any further for the time being.’
Wei Xun said: "Let's go down and take a look."
There are too many good things in this crystal tower. He must take the fox cub to eat them layer by layer. He can't waste any more.
It is impossible for ordinary archaeologists to discover here. The cracks on the crystal stone tower are so dense that it may be completely destroyed by a major earthquake at some point. Wei Xun had to 'rescue' more good things as soon as possible.
After confirming that there was nothing else worthy of attention on this floor, Wei Xun went down to the second floor.
White trapezoidal symbols drawn with simple horizontal and vertical lines can be seen on rock walls in many places in Tibet. This is the 'ladder to heaven' drawn by local people. Its origin actually dates back to the first generation of the Tubo King. Legend has it that he He is a god who came from heaven to earth through the ladder of heaven. And his soul after death will return to heaven along the ladder to heaven.
But Bon believers do not draw this kind of ladder to heaven. They believe that through their own power and natural things, they can get closer to the blue sky and the sky, and only in this way can they achieve Dzogchen. Only the souls of sinners will fall into the depths of the earth along the black ladder and go through hardships.
The downward passage in the tower is very hidden. It is made of black stone strips and wood to form a downward staircase. This actually has a bad meaning, because the black stairs can only fall down to the ground, and there is no way to climb back to the world through them.
But Wei Xun didn't care about this. He went down very neatly and landed lightly on his toes. Wei Xun reached the second floor.
"Wow"
The second floor is slightly higher and wider than the first floor, and Wei Xun can stand up. In the middle of the second floor is the tall blue-black male corpse with his face raised and looking upward. His strange attire is very similar to the Bon Guxin on the mural. The neck is broken in the middle, and is only connected by a layer of tough skin, so it can make this anti-human, completely face-up action.
Wei Xun walked around it and found that the reason why the mummy stood firm and its head had not fallen off was because there was a green-black tree-like object behind it. It didn't feel like wood to the touch, but a bit like Qinliang. Metal.
But it has "branches" extending in all directions, and it looks like a strange sapling. This "sapling" has grown together with the ancient corpse and cannot be separated.
"It is said that there are large iron trees growing on the nine crystal mountains of Weimo Longren. Every nine hundred and ninety-nine years, orbs will appear on the large iron trees. Each orb is a golden-winged roc."
Wei Xun was good at comparing the length of his hands and said in a subtle tone: "Is this... little iron tree alive?"
There are iron trees growing on Crystal Mountain. It seems outrageous no matter how you think about it. This is beyond the scope of scientific explanation. Wei Xun doubted whether this 'iron tree' grew naturally from the White Crystal Mountain, or was it that when the Bon wizard made Wei Molongren, he cast iron into the shape of an iron tree and inserted it here according to legend?
Anyway——
Wei Xun: "Can this little iron tree-"
‘Yes, I can eat’
The fox cub gave up on himself and said, "It's not alive."
Not alive.
Wei Xun's interest weakened a bit. He also thought that if the legend was true and the iron tree was alive, then he would find a way to bring it back to the hotel, and maybe he could grow a roc. It would be so majestic to bring a roc when traveling.
But since it is a real metal ‘iron tree’, it must have been imitated by the ancient Xiangxiong people. But even so, the person who is qualified to be supported by the "iron tree" and can look up at the "blue sky" deep underground should be Gu Xin of the Bon religion.
And he is Gu Xin, who has an extremely noble status.
"Is the skin on your back still there?"
Wei Xun lowered his voice, showing curiosity, as if he was whispering to the corpse.
"let me see."
Could this corpse be the most special person in the history and legend of Bon religion, the Buddha came to entrust him with a dream?
Wei Xun didn't want to lift the clothes of the ancient corpse himself, so he let Mantis No. 1 and No. 2 fly up with the clothes of the ancient corpse. Gu Xin's sacrificial robes were layered one after another, and the hems of the lifted clothes were all hung on the iron branches. After lifting a few layers, the naked back of the ancient corpse was finally exposed. Wei Xun was holding the Gu Xin human skin thangka in his hand and was about to gesture.
But he only took a look and immediately stepped back.
"Excuse me."
The back of this ancient corpse was actually covered with dense black hair like pig bristles!
It was even more excessive than the black hairy human skin that Wei Xun tore apart in the underground lake. These black hairs grew on the back of the ancient corpse and penetrated deeply into its flesh, giving people a disgusting and creepy feeling. Under the cover of this dense black hair, Wei Xun could not see clearly whether there was no skin behind it, and whether it was the "owner" of the Gu Xin human skin thangka in his hand.
"Dang!"
Mantis No. 1 and No. 2 listened to Wei Xun's order and hurriedly put the robes they had lifted up back down to the mummy. But during the action, a 'branch' was brought down and fell on the crystal plate.
This clang was particularly harsh and loud in the silent crystal tower, and the sound could almost reach the deepest part. Wei Xun saw that rust-colored liquid actually flowed out from the broken end of the branch, just like bleeding.
This iron tree is obviously not a living thing, how could it bleed?
In a flash, Wei Xun took out the golden box and did not let the liquid fall to the ground. However, he really didn't have any sealed containers in his hands. This golden box was used by Ding Yi to store the fragments of the black stone jade skull. Now Wei Xun is no longer afraid of radiation, and opening the golden box has no effect on him, so he used it to solve the emergency.
This 'blood' dripped into the golden box, and Wei Xun keenly discovered that the black long hair on the back of the blue-black ancient corpse, near the iron tree, actually fell off a little.
Is it affected by this 'blood'?
No, it's not.
Wei Xun noticed that the black hair at the end of the 'branch' had become longer, as if it wanted to touch the liquid. And the place where the black hair fell off was near the gold box.
Are these black hairs afraid of the fragments of the black stone jade skull?
Wei Xun took the gold box up and down, left and right, and gave the back of the ancient corpse a cold hair removal, confirming his guess. However, after the hair removal, the back of the ancient corpse was also pitch black, as if it had been burned by a fire, and it was really hard to tell whether it had lost its skin.
The juice in the iron tree also drained away, and a thin layer of rust-colored liquid accumulated at the bottom of the gold box. The fragments of the black stone jade skull were soaked in this liquid, and there was no change.
This strange juice and its effect made Wei Xun waver. Should he eat the iron tree and the ancient corpse whole? He thought about this question, leaned over to pick up the iron-black 'branch' that fell to the ground, and suddenly, Wei Xun narrowed his eyes.
He saw that there seemed to be something clinging to the bottom of the crystal slab on the ground.
The crystal slabs on the second layer were no longer as transparent as the first layer, but semi-transparent, with a hint of milky white, and could only be seen vaguely, not clearly. But Wei Xun did see a dark shadow, close to the bottom of the crystal slab.
Wei Xun took a step forward, and saw that the shadow also moved with it, always under his feet.
This thing is alive.
And after Wei Xun stood still, the color of the shadow under his feet became darker and darker, like a drop of ink, and like-
It was penetrating the barrier of the crystal wall and gradually approaching Wei Xun.
No, not only under his feet.
Wei Xun looked around and found that in addition to the top of his head, the crystal walls around him, front, back, left and right were all hiding the gradually approaching dark shadows. These shadows were thick and thin, and seemed to be far and near, but they were all gradually approaching Wei Xun, like an airtight black prison, surrounding him.
If a normal person fell into this situation, he would probably be frightened and stiff, unable to move. The brave ones could still move, and turning around and running away in panic was probably the smartest choice.
Wei Xun stepped forward, but he was not going to escape by climbing the ladder to the first floor. He walked to the black stone stairs leading to the next floor. There was no crystal stone blocking there. If something really attacked from below, this should be the fastest way.
Sure enough, Wei Xun saw a pile of wriggling, black-haired human skins on the black stone stairs. The human skins densely blocked the way to the next floor. The black hair on them wriggled and entangled like living things, extending towards Wei Xun.
The "human skin" that attacked Wei Xun by the underground lake was only one, and at this moment, including the ones that had not yet come out from the surrounding crystal stones, there were probably hundreds of them. In a short while, the crystal slabs everywhere around Wei Xun were all black, spreading like thick ink, and on the ground closest to his feet, black hair had "grown" from under the crystal slabs like grass after spring rain, and was about to wrap around his shoes.
Seeing this scene, Wei Xun's face was full of excitement and a bit disgusted.
"Wow, I'm surrounded by human skin!"
It's hard to imagine how the audience felt when they suddenly heard this in the dark. They were originally chatting happily on the barrage. Some people were worried about Wei Xun, and some were discussing the nine-story swastika crystal tower. But almost no one thought that Wei Xun could really find the real tower.
After all, it was just a difficult journey, and such a thing was impossible.
Some people thought that the earthquake just now was unusual, and they were worried that maybe Ding Yi was playing tricks, and Wei Xun would not be buried in the ruins.
But listening to Wei Xun's occasional words, his tone was still normal, and the audience temporarily put their minds at ease. They just suspected that this earthquake would release some kind of toxic and hallucinogenic gas from the ground.
Otherwise, why would Wei Xun say, ‘Ah, I’m sorry. I stepped on your face, could you please move your face away? ’ and ‘Can this black slate be eaten? ’ Such words!
Even after hearing the former, he felt horrified and wondered if Ding Yi had unblocked the difficulty by playing tricks. Wei Xun was really in danger of meeting the audience. When he heard the latter asking, "Can the black slate be eaten?", his heart felt a little... He breathed a sigh of relief.
This sounds untrue. It must be that Wei Xun is mentally deranged and has hallucinations!
But this is extremely dangerous!
Most of the people in the live broadcast room were worried about Wei Xun. When they heard him say "I am surrounded by human skin", the audience was immediately frightened and felt that their SAN value was going crazy. They all started shouting behind their backs. Liang’s scalp was numb, but when he came back to his senses, someone was laughing on the barrage.
[Ha, haha, Wei Xun is so confused. How could there be living human skin on a difficult journey?]
[It sounds like it’s true. It’s really scary. Wow, I really believe it.]
[Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any supernatural things on this journey]
[But those bugs before were all real! 】
[Evil bugs are normal bugs, can they be the same as human skin? Of course this is not possible]
[Oh, I'm so worried about Wei Xun. Isn't he really hysterical? There are underground ruins and earthquakes. If I am really hysterical, I don’t dare to think about it anymore.]
[No, don’t any of you think what Wei Xun said is true? I feel like the earthquake just now was very problematic! Maybe Ding Yi is up to something, secretly sneaking into the underground ruins to unlock the difficulty, and secretly killing Wei Xun! 】
[Joke, a tour guide is just going to kill new tourists, why should he go to such trouble? 】
[You look at my Brother Wei’s face and call him a newcomer? 】
[Ah, to be honest, if Ding Yi wants to kill Wei Xun, he may, indeed, have no choice but to play dirty tricks like this]
[No, it has been more than two hours since the earthquake. If it is really difficult to unblock, can Wei Xun survive these two hours? 】
[The difficult level of unblocking the journey must be at least dangerous level. Really, even the new passengers, not to mention the new passengers, will not be able to survive]
[But Wei Xun has so many good things in his hands, have you all forgotten? To be honest, if it is really difficult to unblock, Wei Xun should be stronger]
[Alas, I really find it difficult to unblock it. If the seal had not been lifted, would Wei Xun be so obsessed? I heard him say "surrounded by human skin", and I actually thought he was excited, not afraid]
【What a ghost! 】
The originally dark live broadcast suddenly burst into dazzling light. It was Wei Xun who turned on the strong flashlight! Whether they were doubting the difficulty of unblocking or feeling that Wei Xun had inhaled poisonous gas, when their eyes were illuminated and they shed tears of rationality, they all saw those terrifying human skins with squirming black hair surrounding him from all directions!
"vomit!"
At this point, those who had eaten early had already started to have lunch, and many viewers were watching the live broadcast while eating. They boasted that Wei Xun's live broadcast had a black screen and they were just watching everyone chatting, and there was absolutely no danger of sudden blood and ghosts smearing their faces.
But now they regret it.
【What is this stuff? ? ? Oh my god! 】
[It’s really human skin. Human skin with black hair. This is definitely a supernatural element. It definitely is! 】
[Damn it, I’m the one who was wrong, Ding Yi really did something wrong, I’m afraid the earthquake is the difficulty level that has been unlocked! 】
[What should I do? Mom, it turns out that Wei Xun wasn’t lying just now. Everything he said was true! 】
[This is really the little Wei Molongren built in imitation of the legend of Bon religion. Oh my god, the Feihong Brigade has been searching in Tibet for three years but could not find the real Weimo Longren, but they saw the small one here! 】
[Such a big crystal tower, natural crystal! The legendary Iron Tree and the mummy of Priest Guxin, are these things I can see without paying?]
[The key is how to deal with these black-haired human skins. Wei Xun is surrounded. Is it too late to escape now? 】
【Damn Ding Yi! 】
At this moment, no matter the comments or the tourists watching the live broadcast, the tour guides were all scolding Ding Yi. The tourists have been grudged against the tour guide for a long time. Ding Yi can't beat Wei Xun head-on, so he will resort to such shameless tricks. It's really crazy! The tour guides were also scolding Ding Yi. They thought that seeing Wei Xun's madness, he might be an X-type special tourist who was observing, but Ding Yi did this.
At this moment, it is rare for tour guides and tourists to have the same thinking.
Ding Yi is a disgrace to the tour guide industry!
[No, don’t turn off the flashlight, don’t turn it off! 】
The flashlight was quickly turned off, completely ignoring the attempts of so many viewers on the barrage to stay. The live broadcast room fell into complete darkness again, and only the rustling and squirming sounds that made people numb their scalp could be heard. The human skins that were gradually approaching could not be seen in the darkened live broadcast room, but the darkness made people think. More scary stuff.
Some people even discovered that when encountering strong light, the black-haired human skins seemed to be afraid of light and backed away. This should have been a good opportunity to escape, but Wei Xun turned off the flashlight!
Could it be, is he really delirious?
The barrage in the live broadcast room flew by like a swipe at the screen, but the most popular words were——
【Wei Xun is in danger! 】
Wei Xun is not in danger. He turned on the flashlight to record the spectacular scene of being surrounded by human skin in this vlog.
"Is this the black shadow painted on the black slate?"
Wei Xun avoided the wildly growing black hairs and watched them gather together after emerging from the crystal slate, turning into pieces of 'human skin'. He thought of the eighth slate painting, the black shadow that penetrated the nine-story crystal tower. , a sign of the devil’s resurgence.
Why didn't they appear before, but now they appear?
Wei Xun looked thoughtfully at the thin layer of rust-colored liquid in the gold box in his hand.
'Have you seen them? ’
'No'
Xiaocui shook his head: "These things don't exist where my people live."
There is no place where evil ghost insects live... Wei Xun thought of the black hair on the back of the ancient corpse, which fell off after encountering the fragments of the black stone emerald skull.
So--
Wei Xun did an experiment.
He placed the gold box on the ground and stepped back. Sure enough, he saw the targets of these black-haired human skins change and they rushed towards the gold box.
The rust-colored liquid in the box is particularly attractive to them.
But the black-haired human skin that was the first to rush to the gold box shrank and shriveled, its black hair fell off all over the floor, and it stopped moving in the blink of an eye.
Radiated ores can cause extreme damage to them and even kill them.
No wonder the evil insect swarm has survived in the underground ruins for thousands of years, but Xiao Cui's inherited memory has no impression of this kind of black-haired human skin. Because they are afraid of radiation mines, they will not appear near it at all.
The attraction of the rust-colored liquid to the black-haired humans is greater than their fear of radiation. So they went to the golden box one after another to seek death. Wei Xun felt as if he had placed a fully automatic sticky mouse board.
The large swaths of black hair that fell off were really disgusting. After the black haired human skin was cleaned up, Wei Xun took the gold box and placed it in the center, letting it continue to work. When he discovered that there were too many shrunken black human skins piled up, and that the new skins would have to step on the 'bones' of their predecessors and come into contact with the rusty red water, Wei Xun spilled a handful of high-radiation ores collected along the way. .
Black hair and human skin, sudden.
"See if you can eat it."
Wei Xun said to Xiaocui, he held the high-radiation ore in one hand, took a drop of rust-red liquid in the other, and dropped it onto a piece of black human skin.
You can see it expanding rapidly, getting bigger, and the black hair becomes thicker and thicker, like a thick cashmere carpet. It extended crazily around, even swallowing up all the other black-haired human skins it touched.
But after it extends to a certain extent, it won't be destroyed without waiting for Wei Xun to drop the radiation mine. This piece of black-haired human skin shrank by itself, turning into a small carbon ball in the blink of an eye. Together with the other black-haired human skins it had devoured during its previous expansion, a large area was cleared at once.
The smell of the black-haired human skin that had absorbed the rust-red liquid and subsequently shrunk was different from the other black-haired human skins that had shriveled due to radiation ores.
There is an evil smell on it - to Wei Xun, Xiao Jin, Xiao Cui, and Mo Chong, this smell is a bit fragrant.
It has the diluted internal smell of the Abyss Demon.
‘Try it first’
Wei Xun said to Mantis No. 1, it felt like the heads of a feudal family sharing the meal. He watched Mantis No. 1 eat the small carbon ball like a mad rush, and then its black jade-like outer carapace seemed to become more shiny.
It's good stuff.
‘Does the stone on the fifth floor of the crystal tower you perceive look like it? ’
Xiaocui nodded affirmatively. He was greedy just now, but with a bigger goal in mind, he could hold his own and not grab the small carbon ball.
‘Is that so? ’
Wei Xun even felt that the black-haired human skin was like some kind of special fungal parasite, and that the half-human-high 'stone' on the fifth floor of the Crystal Tower was actually a truffle stone and was their source. The resurrection of demon human skin may produce something that catalyzes the production of black fur human skin.
The entire crystal tower on the screen is occupied by a black shadow. It is the great revival of the black-haired human skin. The sap in this special 'iron tree' can bring all the black-haired human skins together and make them 'kill each other'. ultimately self-destructive.
I'm afraid it was prepared in advance by the Bon wizards in the past as the last line of defense to prevent the proliferation of black-haired human skins.
The Bon wizard was thinking of a line of defense, but Wei Xun was thinking of a food production assembly line. .
‘Eat all this iron tree’
Seeing that the number of black human skins precipitated from crystals around him was getting smaller and smaller, Wei Xun decisively ordered the fox cub. When it cried that its belly capacity was not enough, Wei Xun thought carefully and took out the mountaineering bag he had prepared before starting the journey. Except for those essential items, discard everything else to minimize the stress on the fox cub.
After all, there is a mushroom stone half a man's height down there to get.
When all the black-haired human skins were killed by the radiation ore, the entire second floor of the crystal tower completely changed. The iron tree is gone. The standing ancient corpse, which was originally supported by the iron tree, was helped by Wei Xun to sit down, with a hiking bag propped up behind his back, his head tilted upward, and the back of his head resting on the hiking bag.
This scene seemed a bit weird, but Wei Xun was very interested and waved his hand.
‘Let’s go and take our fungi and demon belt home! ’
Except for the furious and rolling fox cub, Wei Xun's other loyal subordinates firmly united around him and actively responded to Wei Xun's call. He went down to the third level dedicated to the dragon god and the fourth level dedicated to the god Dalameba.
Although Wei Xun had some ideas about the gold dragon statue, the black jade statue of Dalameba, and the still well-preserved ivory, gold and other offerings, the fox cub really had no room to eat more.
We still need to get more yang energy to expand the capacity of the fox cub's belly.
When Wei Xun went down to the fifth floor, the situation became different. By this level, the crystal has turned into a completely opaque, pure milky white color, like a field of ice and snow. But in this white crystal tower, there are more than a dozen blue-black ancient corpses leaning against the crystal wall, surrounding them in a circle.
Not only how, but their backs are partially integrated into the crystal. Their attire is similar to that of Guxin on the second floor, but simpler. They should be Guxin priests from other periods. Perhaps every Guxin priest will come here when his time is approaching and use special rituals to integrate himself with the crystal tower.
Their purpose is to seal and guard the evil 'stone' that is half a man tall in the middle of this floor.
It is not appropriate to call it a stone. It looks like a dark brown 'wooden pile' with a layer of thick and dense black velvet like a knitted sweater.
Wei Xun noticed that the black hair under the wooden pile had penetrated deep into the crystal layer, and the Guxin priests standing in a circle no longer looked up at the sky. Their heads were lowered, as if they were all paying attention. Looking deeper into the Crystal Tower.
Just like what was carved on the black ore slab, the devil's human skin was revived, and all the statues, warriors, and priests in the tower changed from looking up at the sky to looking down at the ground. Their figures became blurry, as if they were shrouded and eroded by black shadows.
Surrounded by dozens of ancient corpses, every move seemed to be under their watch. This scene was really eerie and strange. But how can a person who does good deeds feel guilty? Wei Xun calmly let the fox cub eat away the wooden stake while they watched.
In order to make room for the wooden stakes, Wei Xun even took out the largest wet corpse with a golden eagle head.
'They hid my body on the sacred mountain -'
A faint sigh suddenly rang in Wei Xun's ears.
'They threw my head into the holy lake'
The sound seemed to come from deeper underground, and it also seemed to ring directly in Wei Xun's ears. The shaking started again, another aftershock, but Wei Xun saw that the milky white crystal stone under his feet was darkening in color and gradually turned into a darker color.
The cold feeling came from the ground, no matter how many layers of clothes he wore, it could not stop it, as if it penetrated deep into the bones and completely froze the blood.
‘They peeled off my skin and suppressed me at the bottom of the crystal tower’
The voice was still lingering in Wei Xun's mind. It is impossible to distinguish between men and women, old and young, as if it is some kind of resonance, or some higher level existence that cannot be seen.
The hotel prompts beeps in a series, some of which increase the completion of the treasure hunter series title tasks, and some of which increase the progress of the main line of the journey. But Wei Xun's entire attention fell on two reminders.
[You have observed the resentment of the devil’s shadow, the resentment level: A level]
【They hid my body on the sacred mountain
They threw my head into the holy lake
they peeled off my skin
Suppressed at the bottom of the crystal tower
They say I started the war
They said that I brought endless disasters and caused the country to perish]
[They fear me, seal me, and want to kill me]
[Thousands of years have passed, they have turned into dust, only I am still alive]
[You have activated the branch attraction: Resurrected Demon Human Skin, and the total progress of the branch attraction is 60%]
【warn! warn! You are in danger far beyond your level! 】
[The hotel recommends escaping immediately, otherwise you will die! 】
The hotel prompts became more and more urgent, but the whispers like whispers were not suppressed by it, but became clearer and clearer. Wei Xun's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he began to gasp slightly. His pupils dilated slightly, and he stood frozen in place like a demon.
But the sound became tighter and tighter, and became clearer and clearer——
It was as if someone was really close to his ear, drilling into his heart, and whispering.
‘This is my millennium epic, and you are the first witness in the millennium’
'You know who I am'
'Say my name and I will reward you'
The names of the devil are taboo and have infinite magical power. In the past, someone who read the name of the devil turned into the most loyal and crazy believer of the devil. It's just coaxing, it's not completely out of trouble yet.
‘Say, who am I’
If Wei Xun pronounces its name, it will be completely out of trouble, and Wei Xun will become his slave!
"I……"
Wei Xun hesitated, a little hesitant. The devil is like an experienced hunter, coaxing and tempting.
'Say my name and I will reward you'
"you……"
‘Say, who am I’
Under the devil's patient temptation, Wei Xun finally spoke smoothly.
But what he said was completely beyond the devil's expectations!
"Do you know what my name is?"
Wei Xun asked in a very kind tone:
"How about you tell me my name first."
