Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Shrine

grassland. Sonamka slept in the open without food and wind, and rode Juechen, and finally came to the camp of the Great Khan together with the last ray of light of the setting sun.He didn't have time to be notified, so he got off his horse and broke into the camp directly. An Dahan was startled, it was the first time he had seen such a Sonamja wrong. He stood quietly under the tent of Dahan, without saying a word, his solemn robe was covered with Zheng dust, and his eyes that had seen all wisdom were shrouded in haze for the first time. Anda's expression also became solemn, it seems that there must have been extraordinary changes in Tibet.

Sonamka Tso was originally his most respected master of Tibetan secrets, and now he has traveled thousands of miles, and he should have rushed to this place to ask him for help, and he should have spared no hesitation.However, when Sonamka wrongly explained the purpose of coming, Anda was silent. Just one month ago, he just sank the six dragon subduing magic pestle and the ten-direction wheel into Tengger Lake. Tengger Lake means Heavenly Lake in Mongolian, but it is not as vast as the Lake of Heaven, but a small lake deep in the Erren Mountains.In the entire grassland, only a few Mongolian princes at the top know its existence.

However, every thirty years, these few princes, along with the Khan, will hold a grand sacrifice and sink the two most precious treasures in the world into the lake. Because this small lake is the residence of the patron saint of the ancestors of the Tatar tribe in legend. This ceremony has been carried out in secret for hundreds of years without interruption. Just one month ago, Ida presided over this sacrifice for the first time, and it happened to use these two magic tools for sacrifice. No one would dare to take out the treasures from Tianhu Lake, even if they thought about it, it would be a blasphemy to the gods.

Anda stared at Sonamka Cuo and remained silent. Shiva's death is just a legend in Buddhism.Is it worth it to offend the gods of the clan for a prophecy that has not yet been fulfilled? Ida hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head. Sonamka seemed to have expected this ending by mistake, and sighed up to the sky, speechless for a long time. Could it be that everything is doomed, no matter how hard it is to undo? Anda looked at Sonamka's mistake, and seemed a little guilty. He was silent for a long time, and suddenly thought of something: "Although the magic weapon has sunk into the Tianhu Lake, I can do my best to help the master search for the whereabouts of Pavanti. .”

Sonamka was stunned and asked, "What does the Great Khan mean?" A smile gradually appeared on Anda's face: "If the master's words are true, Ben Khan can guarantee that he must kill this reincarnated goddess before the Mandala teaching, and make Shiva's awakening come to naught!" His voice It seems to be full of ambition, as if the fate of the whole world has been reversed. Yes, with 100,000 cavalry under his command and thousands of miles of territory in his hands, is it easy to search for a woman's whereabouts? Sonamka pondered for a long time, and could only say: "Then you will have to work hard." He took out the statue of Goddess Parvanti from his sleeve and handed it over.

Since the magic weapon is not available, it is worthwhile to use the power of Anda to find out the reincarnation of Pafanti first. Anda took the rag, and was also a little curious in his heart, who is the woman who has accidentally become the hub of the existence and destruction of the Three Realms, and the target of many forces in India, Tibet, and Mongolia? When the blood-stained canvas slowly unfolded in his hands, Anda's expression completely changed. He couldn't help crying: "It's her?!" On the stone wall, the mist dissipated, and the phantom gradually became clear.

The dew on the bodhi branch of the woman in white fell on the ice platform... Le Shenglun Palace. Auspicious clouds surge like waves, and the majestic shrine is gradually revealed in a round sun. On the side of the golden sundial, the silver light of the vast Tianhe poured down, and slowly opened a plain curtain, lining the back of the 12-story building of Leshenglun.Gold and silver lights and shadows intertwine, and Mount Kailash stands like a jade pillar silently facing the sky, enshrining the heaven where the gods and Buddhas live. The sun rises and the moon lasts. The black jade-like dome isolates thousands of rays of sunlight from outside the palace.In the tens of feet high hall, day and night are upside down, the night is still dark, and a quiet and cold starlight is silently shedding from the round roof of the hall.

A long staircase extends to the highest and deepest part of the hall, like a ribbon soaked in moonlight, gradually sinking into the soft night, and it is unknown where it leads.Countless brocade curtains of five colors hang straight down from that unknown place, like colorful springs hanging in the deep mountains. At the bottom of the long steps is a lotus-shaped altar. Xiangsi was dressed in a plain white dress, sleeping quietly among the lotus stamens. The altar under her body was carved from a huge piece of amethyst. The clear light floated and swayed on the overlapping lotus petals, and the light and shadow were slanting, making her body seem to be immersed in the colorful splendor.

Xiangsixiu frowned slightly, her black color seemed to have faded a little, but the faint blush on her face was still the same as before, as if she had been sleeping in this lotus platform for thousands of years. After an unknown amount of time, there was a soft sound from the depths of the dark night, and the flames slowly floated from the other end of the hall like a ghost. The shadow cast by the eyelashes on Xiangsi's cheek moved slightly, as if she woke up with a start. She opened her eyes, looked up at the high dome, the night was as quiet as a sleep, gently stroking her body.The fear in her eyes gradually dissipated.This altar seems to have a magical power, which can make the sacrifices on it feel sincerely peaceful, so that they are willing to sacrifice their body and soul to the demon god in the dark depths.

The flames in the distance slowly drifted closer. Xiangsi couldn't help blinking. At this moment, she suddenly found that her whole body seemed to be bound by invisible thin ropes, and she couldn't move. Only her head could be turned slightly to the right, and she could gradually see the source of the fire. Amidst the flickering red light, a golden woman came slowly. She is not very tall, but she is slim and graceful.She was naked, only wearing extremely complicated decorations, golden crown, golden cloud shoulders, gold tassels, and necklaces hanging all the way to the ground. Every step she took, she shone brightly and made a golden sound.

Of course her face was beautiful, but it was a strange beauty mixed with virginity and seductiveness.That playful and willful smile is like a princess who has just grown up, looking at the world curiously and arrogantly.It's just that her right arm has been severed at the root, and a very thick golden ring is around her shoulder, which hides her wound bluntly, making her look a little strange. Xiangsi was surprised, and couldn't help saying: "Mandala?" Mandala ignored her, and went straight to the long steps behind the altar, raised the candle above his head, knelt down deeply, and said, "Thanks to the venerable Lord Shiva for allowing the subordinates to see the holy face of the leader again. " What she was aiming for was the top of the heavenly ladder that she didn't know where she was. Could it be that the leader of the Mandala religion, the legendary demon king Bo Xun who destroyed the world, who occupied the palace of the gods and sacrificed the flesh and blood of the monks to practice sorcery, is sitting on the highest throne in the dark night at this moment? Xiangsi was startled, she wanted to turn her head away, but she couldn't move. There was still a dead silence in the darkness.I don't know how long it has passed, Xiangsi couldn't help but wonder if there was really someone on the other end of the long steps, or if their so-called leader was just a stern statue on the dome? Mandala still didn't raise his head, kneeling on the cold ground, his voice was a bit jerky: "This subordinate is responsible for triggering the mandala formation, trapping Zhuo Wangsun and others into the illusion, but revealing his whereabouts, and was used by the opponent to find him. The hub of the mandala formation, all faults are due to the incompetence of the subordinates." The fire was dim, and there was only her own echo in the empty hall. Mandala waited for a while, and then said: "This subordinate is not good at escaping, but he was controlled by the enemy. He was severely tortured and interrogated. The pain of breaking his own arm is not a big deal, but the damage to the face of the holy religion is a big deal. Please ask the lord to punish him." Still dead silent.Under the candlelight, Mandala's face was extremely ugly. She gritted her teeth and said: "The leader sent me to monitor Ji Yunshang's actions to maintain the operation of the Vajra Mandala array. The subordinates were unable to win, so in the end, Ji Yunshang assimilated with the array with his body. , and finally destroy this formation by itself, which will setback the great cause of this sect, and the subordinates will not be redeemed if they die." The hall was silent, as if she was the only one talking to herself. Xiangsi gradually felt that things were a little weird. Mandala took a deep breath, suddenly raised his head, and said loudly: "I know that my crime is unforgivable, but I ask the leader to make it clear. Mandala was seriously injured and rushed back to the shrine. Hearing the words of the leader, I am willing to die!" Her last few words came in an extremely high voice, which echoed endlessly in the hall, and the candlelight kept vibrating for it. At this time, a very soft sigh seemed to come from the depths of the night sky: "Since you know that there is no forgiveness for the crime, why do you have to come back?" The voice was gentle, without the slightest intention of intimidation, but for some reason, a faint cold air had passed through countless curtains and penetrated the air. Acacia also trembled involuntarily. Mandala's expression froze, and he looked up at the depths of the long steps.After a long time, the fear on her face gradually dissipated, and she said with a smile, "It's just because I still have a glimmer of hope to ask the leader for forgiveness." The voice said coldly: "What?" Mandala got up slowly, and suddenly swiped the red candle in his hand into the darkness, a faint arc of light scattered a few sparks, facing the altar below the steps: "The reincarnation of the snow mountain goddess Pavanti that the leader has been looking for so hard , has been brought here by my subordinates!" Pavanti? ! The hub of Shiva's awakening, the reincarnated goddess that everyone is looking for, has been brought into Le Shenglun Palace by her in the past month? The surroundings suddenly fell silent.After a while, the voice said: "You mean her?" Mandala said: "Exactly." The voice said coldly: "Since our religion searched for the goddess Pavanti, we have searched all over Qinghai and Tibet, and even used the technique of searching for souls with a hundred ghosts, but there is no result. How can I believe that this woman you brought back from the Central Plains is Goddess Pavanti?" Mandala smiled and said: "After the reincarnation of the Snow Mountain Goddess, her divinity has been lost, her words and deeds are no different from ordinary people, and she may not be born in Tibet. There is a way to test the truth, but it will cost the leader a lot of money." Energy. Once there is a mistake, the loss is irreparable. With the respect of the leader, of course, there is no need to take risks for Mandala's one-sided words." The voice said, "It's good that you know." Mandala said: "However, my subordinates have another plan. If you don't have to work hard, you can let the truth be judged." The voice sneered and said, "Talk." Mandala smiled slightly, and said, "Let Sangay give it a try." The man pondered for a moment, then said lightly: "Sang Gai Hung Rao is a bloodthirsty evil god with an extremely violent personality and feeds on living people. Once he is released, no taboo can control it." "The subordinate understands." Mandala replied, walking towards the altar. Leaning on the crystal lotus petals beside the altar, she slowly smiled and said: "Sangai Hungrao is one of the guardian holy beasts of the snow mountain holy spring, and she has psychic powers. If she is really the reincarnation of the snow mountain goddess, she will not die under the claws of the holy beast." If it wasn't for..." She leaned down, slowly shone the candle over Acacia's face, and said in a deep voice: "Then anyone who is devoured by Sangai's hungry people can wash away the sins of this life and go to heaven. It's not bad for her." Xiangsi's face was already pale, but her whole body was restrained and she couldn't move. Mandala chuckled, turned around and bowed to the leader, and said, "If the Snow Mountain Goddess I found for the leader is real, please pay it off; if it is false, Mandala can be at the mercy of the leader." The voice didn't answer. After a while, the sound of extremely light footsteps came slowly from the top of the long steps. Mandala knelt down in the direction of the voice. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and finally stopped behind Acacia. However, Acacia couldn't turn back. With a dragon chant, a strange brilliance reflected on the stone wall at the other end of the hall.It seemed that someone had removed a sword from the wall. Mandala got up and pressed the candle close to Acacia's cheek, the dazzling light forced her to close her eyes. Xiangsi suddenly felt a coldness on her neck, and the neckline seemed to have been pierced by the sword.The blade of the sword moved against her skin very lightly, just from the neck to the chest, and with the sound of silk cracking, a long cut was cut in her clothes. The visitor seemed to ponder for a long time, put away the dark yellow scroll in his hand, and sighed: "It really looks like... I hope you are." His sword slowly parted her bodice. There was a sudden stabbing pain in Xiangsi's chest, where the heart was, there was already a bloody hole.The wound was not deep, but it was enough for blood to gushe out and wet her snow-white clothes. Acacia's chest also heaved and heaved with fear.The person who came suddenly picked up her left wrist, flicked it lightly, and the restraining rope on her wrist was broken immediately, and the person gently held the sword in the palm of her hand for her. Mandala said: "Master, can we start?" With a wave of the man's hand, the curtain on the top of the temple fell, and then he turned and walked to the other side of the curtain with Mandala. The night seemed to recede a little bit, and a little bit of starlight sprinkled down, staining the hall with a layer of slight frost. Xiangsi only had one wrist to move, and she tried hard to turn the dagger in her hand to cut the rope on her arm.And at this time, in the corner of the hall, an iron door that had been covered in dust for a long time had opened at some point. Suddenly, there was a huge animal howl, which only shook the whole hall!Then came the heavy footsteps, as if stepping directly on people's hearts, even the sky and the earth couldn't stop shaking, like a giant beast in the wild, suddenly broke free from the ancient murals, with the power of wind, thunder, water, fire, and changes in the world, it wanted to fight people and eat them! Acacia was so startled that her face turned pale, and she looked into the hall. A snow-white male lion was walking slowly towards her. The lion was exceptionally strong, more than twice as tall as the average lion, with a snow-white mane bursting out, its sharp claws facing the sky, its eyes were red like fire, and its saber teeth were cold. Every step he stepped down was accompanied by trembling of the long hair all over his body. Xiangsi's whole body was drenched in cold sweat, her wrist was trembling, and she could hardly hold the sword.At this time, the snow lion already smelled the smell of blood, and suddenly let out a roar, and jumped towards the altar. Xiangsi had just untied her hands and barely sat up, the snow lion had already leaped onto the altar with a roar! The snow lion opened its mouth wide, and a gust of fishy and hot breath sprayed towards its face.Acacia instinctively turned to the side, raising her hand to cover her eyes.The snow lion whistled loudly, deafeningly, and suddenly raised its paw, patting Xiangsi on the shoulder. Snow Lion's slap, although he didn't use much force, he easily turned her body over forcibly, and then stretched out his claws, firmly pressing her down on the altar.Xiangsi's whole body was in severe pain, she only felt the long mane on the snow lion's neck brushing against her chest like a thorn.Before she could dodge, the snow lion roared up to the sky, opened its bloody mouth, and bit her neck directly. Xiangsi let out an exclamation, and she didn't have time to think about it, she exerted strength on her wrist, and the dagger rebounded from the bottom of her wrist, stabbing towards the snow lion's abdomen.Although her shoulders have been pinned down by the sharp claws of the snow lion, but she is good at concealed weapons, and most of her kung fu lies with her fingers and wrists. This hard blow is extremely fast and accurate, let alone a beast, even if the world Among the masters, not many can escape. The tip of the sword went straight up, piercing the snow lion's belly.Xiangsi only felt that the short sword in her hand was piercing an extremely flexible object. The object sank deeply with the force of the sword tip, but it couldn't pierce it no matter what! The snow lion suddenly hissed and roared wildly, furiously, raised its sharp claws high, and slapped Xiangsi on the shoulder fiercely.Xiangsi wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and unexpectedly his whole body was thrown into the air by this palm, and he fell heavily from the altar which was more than Zhang high to the ground, and then slid for a long distance before stopping at a corner of the main hall. This blow was so powerful that even the uncut ropes around her were forcibly broken!Fortunately, although she is young, she already has a solid foundation in cultivation, and just now the snow lion roared first, so she was prepared, and used light kung fu to dissipate most of her strength, which saved her from being crushed to pieces. However, the snow lion's fangs and claws cannot be forced open only by ingenuity.The clothes on Xiangsi's upper body were almost torn to pieces, the deep scars on her shoulders were almost bone-deep, the wounds on her hands and feet were bleeding profusely, her whole body was stained red, and even a crimson bloodstain was dragged on the floor. She coughed in a low voice, trying to stand up against the wall, but she couldn't. Snow Lion shook his head, his eyes were red, and he walked towards her with low growls. Xiangsi only felt that the bones and meridians in her whole body seemed to be broken, the severe pain made her almost faint, cold sweat dripped down her forehead, she could barely open her eyes. Xiangsi is not a very weak woman, at a young age, she has already been ranked as the first quarter moon master of Huayin Pavilion, and her status can be regarded as respected.Although her martial arts might not be able to match the words "Shangxian Yuezhu", it is by no means so weak that it cannot be unbearably weak.It's just that there are too many top experts around her, and every time she is in danger, someone will naturally help her resolve it; and those enemies rarely really want to hurt her.Therefore, her martial arts are almost useless, and as time goes by, even she almost forgets about it. But this time, she was put under the kiss of the beast alone, and anyone who could help her was thousands of miles away.But the other party is the legendary evil god, devouring blood like life, the only purpose is to tear her into pieces, and he will not feel any pity for her. Xiangsi only felt the severe pain in her body and the real fear in her heart intertwined. She bit her lips hard to prevent herself from passing out and tears from shedding.She tightly held the dagger in her hand, spinning all kinds of possible moves in her mind.Although she knew that the snow lion's skin was the softest under the abdomen, and it couldn't be pierced, and the other parts were like iron walls, but the blunt dagger in her hand was her only life-saving straw. The snow lion paced a few steps in front of her, bowed from time to time in a pouncing posture, but retracted it again.Just like tearing up the prey before devouring it, you have to play it well.Suddenly, it wiped its snow-white paws in the blood on the ground, tensed its body back, its eyes seemed to protrude, and stared straight at Xiangsi. Xiangsi knew that it was not good, only to hear the snow lion suddenly roar and jump up, like flying a snow-colored mountain in mid-air, rushing towards Xiangsi! Xiangsi held the dagger in front of her chest, leaning against the palace wall.I saw a pair of giant claws pounced down, followed by a huge animal head descending from the sky, its sharp teeth were like two long sticks, slashing towards her neck.Xiangsi suddenly lowered her body and slid down the snow lion's belly. The dagger in her hand was already thrust into the snow lion's eye socket. There was a soft puff sound, as if something was broken, followed by several extremely shrill howls of beasts, deafening, a large cloud of blood splashed in mid-air, Xiangsi closed her eyes and moved away sideways, all the lion's blood was drenched on the ground. over her left shoulder.She took advantage of the momentum to slide down from the belly of the snow lion and avoid to the other side of the hall. I saw the snow lion covering the injured eye with one paw, and the other eye was bloody, and it seemed that it was about to come out of the eye socket. Under the scream, it was in pain like mad, and the two giant claws moved wildly in the air. , The stone platform and jade pillars all collapsed. After a long time, the snow lion gradually stopped its wild dance, turned its head, and sucked violently with its bloody nose, as if looking for the place of popularity.While searching, it slowly walked towards the center of the hall. Suddenly, the snow lion stopped by the altar, roared furiously, raised its right paw high, and slashed down in the air!Hearing a loud bang, several lotus petals on the crystal altar were instantly smashed to pieces, and the lavender dust was like a bright drizzle falling from the sky. Xiangsi let out an exclamation, and hurriedly backed away from the other side of the altar. The dust dissipated, and the snow lion saw the enemy with one eye, and became even more furious, and pounced on him.In a panic, just as the Acacia dagger was about to thrust out, it was knocked down by the snow lion's claw.The snow lion took a step forward, threw her to the ground, stretched out its blood-red tongue, biting at the wound on her shoulder. Just now Xiangsi felt a scorching pain in her shoulder, knowing that there was no physiology in her heart, she had to close her eyes and wait for death. But at this moment, the snow lion stopped. Surprised, Acacia opened her eyes.I saw that the snow lion's eyes were blurred, and there was a bloody hole in its face. It looked extremely hideous and terrifying, while the other eye was gouging out itself, and the fierce light burst out, wanting to devour every inch of it and then quickly. However, it didn't attack Xiangsi again, it just kept turning its head slightly, as if it didn't know what to do. The snow lion has been guarding the holy spring for a long time, and at this moment, an inexplicable fear surges in his heart, and this fear comes from the prey waiting to be killed under its claws!It just felt unbelievable, but this kind of fear was extremely real, and it slowly condensed from the blood left in its mouth, making its huge body feel an unprecedented chill. It can judge from the smell of blood that this person must not be killed.However, it has been eating people all its life, and has never suffered a little loss from its prey, but now it has been stabbed blind by this person every day, causing severe pain, and it really can't let it go!The two thoughts were intertwined, only tormenting the snow lion to roar up to the sky, like crazy, but it didn't dare to exert any more force under its claws. Xiangsi was dressed in ragged clothes, covered in blood, lying under the lion's claws, the night wind was light, her body trembled slightly, but her mood gradually calmed down.
