Chapter 31 Chapter 30: The Entrance to Hell

When it came to this, Lao Li deliberately kept it a secret.He said: "Master Luo, you are not stupid at ordinary times, guess what I saw?" "A snake body appeared...could it be... Nuwa? Isn't she with a human head and a snake body?" I held back my laugh and said solemnly.Lao Li looked at me with contempt, and said contemptuously, "I know you can't guess it. But, to be honest, I didn't expect it to be such a thing at the time." Speaking of this, he said a little self-deprecatingly, "You Look at me, didn't I show off my mahogany sword? I really thought it was some kind of ghost..."

I was short-tempered, so I quickly interrupted Lao Li's pretentious trickery: "Lao Li, just tell me what's in there first. I'm anxious to hear it." "Hey..." Lao Li grinned happily, "Master Luo, you wouldn't believe what I said, even if you were killed. The snake... is that little white boa constrictor. It went inside the human skin and pretended to be a human to scare me. The lion was smart, it discovered this secret, so it bit the human skin." "Old Li, did you make it up?" I began to despise Lao Li with a look of disbelief. "Sure enough, it's a good story. I can write a story... It's a pity that I was so nervous just now. It turned out to be in vain." While looking around, there was no sign of the lion.Didn't that guy follow Lao Li all the time? "Where's the lion?" I asked.

"It's gone down the mountain. It's injured and can't follow us." Lao Li said while throwing me a piece of cloth with blood on it, "Keep it away. This is a treasure." He explained unwillingly, "Master Luo , Really... It's really a boa constrictor that got into the human skin. You think, there are animal skins everywhere in the crevices of the rock, and the white python is a mutated and spiritual thing. What's so strange..." Also, are there few strange things we encountered along the way?There are stranger things than that, so I nodded in confidence. "By the way, what is this rag?" I weighed the cloth that Lao Li threw over. It was the size of a palm, light and weightless, and I didn't notice any treasure.

Lao Li glanced at me and said: "It's the blood of a lion. The lion's mother was fed by Banqin himself with herbs that are specially used to deal with monsters in hell. The lion also has its mother's blood in its body That's why the white boa constrictor is afraid of lions. It tried to bite me to death several times to make its food but failed. This cloth can avoid some not very ferocious hell monsters..." Hell monster?My mind turned quickly, not understanding what this meant. "Old Li, stop and stop! What hell monster?" Lao Li suddenly remembered something, and slapped his thigh: "Oh! I forgot to tell you about this. Have you ever heard of a saying? There is a gate of hell under Qiangbake Mountain, and there are faceless devils living inside."

this?I have heard it, and not only heard it once, Section Chief Wang said it, Zhuoma Yangjin said it along the way, and many local residents also said it before.After they finished saying this, they often warned me with a serious face not to enter Jambako Mountain at will, because there really are hells and devils inside. Then Lao Li told me that from the very beginning when he saw Section Chief Wang becoming blind at night, he found that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to confirm it.It wasn't until I went up the mountain into the communication station and saw the blood spring in the communication station that I believed that the hell monster that Master Banqin had said before had indeed appeared.As for the so-called hell monsters, the crystal black scorpion in the faceless body is one of them. Of course, there may be more than one type of it, but the specific situation can only be known by moving forward.And the other strange insects and white pythons along the way can only be regarded as the little ones of the crystal black scorpions.

Lao Li also said that the white python came out to attack people, and that was a very unavoidable thing, because it ate up all the edible things around it, and it couldn't leave the vicinity, so it had to take risks to attack humans. His words—somewhat similar to what Zhuoma Yangjin asked me to tell the beast Yamamoto.In other words, Zhuoma Yangjin is not just a team translator?Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and couldn't help but want to yell. It turns out that I, Luo, was the most idiot from the beginning to the end. I didn't understand anything, and I almost died a few times!

Lao Li saw my anger, quickly put aside the topic just now, and said: "Master Luo, it's not cold here at all, didn't you notice?" I've noticed this a long time ago, but never had a chance to ask.Although I feel resentful now, it's none of Lao Li's business after all.So he tried his best to ease his tone and said, "What's going on?" "This and the cave where you were assassinated before are very similar to the situation at the entrance of hell that Banqin told me about. Master Banqin said that at the entrance of hell, the temperature of each cave varies. Some caves drip into ice for thousands of years. , some cave entrances are as warm as spring and remain unchanged for thousands of years... When I saw you..."

Hearing what Lao Li said, I repeatedly scolded myself for being confused. I didn't thank him for such an important matter as Lao Li saved my life, but I was just curious.So he quickly smiled and thanked Lao Li. Lao Li waved his hand and said: "You're welcome. I still have something to ask for you. I want you to continue to track down the Japanese with me. I suspect they know the secret of hell monsters. If that's the case, it has a lot to do with it. People's life and death, let alone let them succeed. I promised Master Banqin..." Naturally, I couldn't refuse the words of my savior. Although I was reluctant, I still agreed.

Lao Li nodded, and continued: "Let me explain the ins and outs of the matter to you clearly, so as to save you from following me to work for your life in a daze." It turned out that after Lao Li came out of the crack in the rock that day, he finally found the cave where we were, but found that I was frozen and fainted.It was freezing cold, and he didn't bring any extra clothes. The only way to save my life was to find a heat source as soon as possible.He saw that the cave was different from usual, and he also saw the lamp with human head and skull. With so many obvious traces of man-made, he reckoned that he should be able to find firewood and other things for heating.So I went around looking for firewood, but I stumbled into a very inconspicuous small hole branched out of the cave by mistake—that is, our current cave.He found that the hole was unusually warm, and quickly carried me in...

Naturally, I woke up later, so there is no need to ask. Of course, combined with Master Banqin's words, and thinking about all the encounters on the road, Lao Li is basically sure that this is the entrance to hell. Speaking of this, I suddenly couldn't figure it out. Master Banqin is a Buddhist, while Lao Li is a disciple of Taoism. Although Buddhism and Taoism are not incompatible, it is not enough to ask each other to protect their own sect... What's more, here is Tibet, where all the people believe in Buddhism.It's not easy to find a reliable disciple! I told Lao Li this.

Old Li Surong said: "Master Banqin has been guarding at the foot of Jambaque Mountain all his life, in order not to let any disciples approach this place. Hell monsters are ominous things. Once they appear in the world and are known by sects, large and small, they will definitely attract attention. If there are endless disputes, then there will be no peace in Tibet. For this reason, he didn’t find anyone other than me. And he didn’t even tell me where the entrance is. He just told me some relevant knowledge. Tell me to do my best to prevent anyone from entering hell."
