Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

After entering Tibet, Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi led some people to separate from the main group and go to Fairy Lake to invite Ake, a divinely gifted poet whom Hu Bayi knew. Ake saw his long-lost friend Hu Bayi, and saw that he was accompanied by people from the country. When he heard that they wanted to find the ruins of the Demon Kingdom, he packed his bags without hesitation and went with everyone.

It's true that Jiang Xinxin has recovered her cultivation, but the restrictions of this world itself on her have increased by more than one level, so she doesn't have much mana to use at the moment. Otherwise, it would not be convenient for herself, but she would be nourishing this world with everything she has. Especially since the national team is involved in this operation, even though she is a powerful leader, she is actually just a thug.

The Zhang family's records could not accurately locate the Demon Kingdom ruins, but with Ake, the gifted poet, he led everyone directly to a place on the plateau that had been fenced off by the local government for tourism. He pointed to one of the layers of stone mountains in front and said, "There is a Samsara Lama Temple over there. It was a place called the Samsara Sect established by the Demon Kingdom at that time. It is the closest to the Demon Kingdom."

Feeling that he had explained it too simply, Ake explained, "Legend has it that the Demon Kingdom came from underground, so the more central and high-ranking dignitaries would live underground, and those outside would be slaves. The Samsara Sect was a place where they controlled the slaves outside."

Several archaeologists surrounded Ak and continued to ask him some details. Ak answered whatever he thought of. The others prepared to send some people up to take a look. It was just the beginning of summer, but it snowed heavily here all day and all night the day before, and there was still a strong wind now. The old guys in the archaeological team were really worried about letting them climb the mountain in the strong wind on this plateau with an altitude of five or six thousand meters.

Ake led the way, Jiang Xinxin, Jiang Xiaoguan and Jiang Jiuri were the main force, Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi assisted, and four bodyguards guarded the four young archaeologists. The group was tied with safety ropes and slowly began to climb the mountain. Without exposing their strength, they went out early in the morning and finally entered the outskirts of the Samsara Temple around noon.

Ake pointed to a place above where there seemed to be several stone pillars standing, and said, "That's the Samsara Temple. Back then, Master Wu Zhangna and King Baozhu worked together to seal the evil ghosts and demons of the Demon Kingdom under the Nine-story Demon Tower. Master Wu Zhangna was born in the Samsara Sect, so there must be clues to the Nine-story Demon Tower here."

After walking up a little further, they saw a carefully maintained stone platform. The stone pillars that everyone had seen before stood on the edge of the platform. There was a stone door against the mountain wall that was still exquisite. Ake, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang walked forward and pushed the door open. The bodyguards who followed them hurried over to help.

I saw that the space inside the door was neither big nor small, but it was in a state of ruin everywhere. The murals around it were all depicting scenes of torture. The archaeological team was busy taking pictures, taking samples, and measuring. It was a busy but orderly scene.

Ake looked at the young people busying around, carefully and professionally, and suddenly laughed at them. Hu Bayi looked at him and asked what was wrong. Ake smiled and said with emotion: "This world nowadays is the world that humans should live in!"

Hu Bayi was silent for a moment. He had been stationed in Kunlun Mountains when he was in the army. Apart from Ake, he was the one who knew the most about the appalling bad habits in this land and had a more personal understanding of Ake's feelings.

Fatty Wang saw that the atmosphere was becoming dull. He walked around twice and couldn't help but complain: "It's not shameful to spread some legends for believers. Who would draw these tortures used in prisons and put them outside to scare people?"

Ak restrained his smile and looked at Fatty Wang with a fake smile, "How do you know that the scenes in these paintings are real things that happened?"

Jiang Jiuri also said: "The Potala Palace is famous enough, its snow-white walls have attracted widespread attention around the world, but outsiders will never know that the snow-white walls exude a sweet fragrance, and that fragrance comes from milk and sugar."

The fat man just felt his throat tighten and his back go cold.

He had experienced hunger, and even though he came from a good family, he had also suffered. He certainly knew what milk and sugar meant to the people on the plateau. The Potala Palace was so big, and to paint all the walls, the milk and sugar consumed would feed countless people!

Ak put his hands together and raised them above his head, saluting towards the east. “The new government has liberated many people, saved many people, and allowed many people to live with dignity.”

The four archaeological team members quickly cleaned up the front hall and came to the back hall. The back hall was even more dilapidated than the front hall, and there were even more spider webs. The murals on the wall were so blurry that they couldn't even see them clearly. But the most terrible thing was that they suddenly heard a distant roar.

Originally they thought they were hallucinating, or that the terrain here made such a sound under the influence of wind. Jiang Xinxin, Jiang Jiuri and Jiang Xiaoguan all looked at a crumbling pillar with serious faces, and they couldn't help but feel worried.

Jiang Xinxin said: "The sound came from underground. It should be some kind of wild beast."

Jiang Xiaoguan continued, "It's not a wild beast. Maybe it's a creature that was tamed by the Samsara Sect."

Ake suddenly remembered and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's Sin Eater Baru!"

"The Samsara Sect has a hell that is used to punish sins. In that hell there is a kind of evil ghost called Sin-Eating Baru, who is very ferocious and can easily tear a person in half!"

There were two more roars, and then the pillar that Jiang Xinxin and the other two were staring at suddenly broke. After it fell down, it knocked a large hole in the wall behind it, and the roaring sound became more obvious.

The four bodyguards hurried forward and entered the cave first, ready to clear obstacles for everyone and protect everyone's safety at any time. However, in the space behind, apart from a few murals, there was only a Buddha statue that was faintly glowing with golden light.

The archaeological team left two people outside to clean the murals. Jiang Xiaoguan and Jiang Jiuri stayed outside to help and provide protection. Shirley Yang also stayed after seeing this. One of the two bodyguards who had gone in earlier also came out. The others filed in through the large cave entrance. The first thing they saw when they came in was the Thousand-armed Buddha statue glowing with golden light.

To be precise, it is not a Buddha statue, but a deity statue that looks like a Buddha statue. Behind it is not Buddha's light, but hands of various shapes. It's just that the shape looks like Buddha's light, and there is a lotus pedestal sitting underneath, so it is easily mistaken for a Buddha statue.

The fat man walked forward and got closer, looking again and again, but he didn't dare to touch it, for fear of accidentally touching the mechanism. It would be fine for him and Hu Bayi, after all, they were best friends who grew up together, but there were also the archaeological team and the eldest daughter of the Jiang family here, and nothing could happen to him.

"Hey, there's a chain attached to the back of this, it came out of this door!"

There was a very complicated talisman pasted on the door behind the statue. Jiang Xinxin took a look and found it was useful, but would soon lose its effect. This was probably because the Samsara Sect had been destroyed for a long time and no one had come to bless it for a long time.
