Jia Sidao walked to the center of the tower, touched the rusty pillar, then looked at the mottled blood on the stone wall under his feet, frowned, and said, "It seems that we are going to climb this layer."
I also came to the center, looked down, and said: "Climb? The surface of the pillar is so smooth that no one can hold it together. The height is at least 60 meters or more. If there is a mechanism in the middle, wouldn't it be impossible to hide? Fall off?" Turning my head to look at the side wall, I suggested again: "How about climbing down the side wall? The side wall has a curvature, so it should be easier to climb."
Jia Sidao shook his head and said: "From the appearance and the inside of the tower, the inverted tower should be surrounded by two stone walls. Inside the stone wall is the mechanism. If you climb down from the side wall, it will definitely touch the mechanism, so Must climb down the pillar."
"How can you climb?"
Jia Sidao smiled and said, "We can go down together." As he said, he took out a rope from his bag and continued: "We can hold one end of the rope alone and form a circle to hold each other tightly around the pillar. Then he went down against the pillar."
It suddenly dawned on me and said, "A good way."
Tie one end of the rope to our waist, we surround a pillar, and both sides tighten the rope in the hands, and the body is firmly attached to the pillar. When the strength of the hands is slightly loosened, we slide down a little...
It's very easy to slide down quickly, but because we were worried about the mechanism, we just slid slowly, and there was a lot of rust on our body and arms.
Before long, the shape of the pillar became distorted, bending left and right, like a twisted twist, I couldn't help asking: "Goddaddy, how did this pillar become like this?"
"Who knows. But since it's made like this, the designer must have his own intention. It may be for the arrangement of the organization, or it may be because of religious belief."
I said "Oh" and asked cautiously: "Godfather, you come to Tibet with me. Do you have any other purpose besides helping me?"
Because Jia Sidao and I were each pasting on one side of the post, he couldn't see his expression, but he didn't answer me immediately, but asked, "Why are you asking that?"
"Because...because I think you have been to Tibet before, and you have traveled to many places. In addition to practicing and practicing, you must have other purposes."
Jia Sidao pondered for a moment, and said, "No
Wrong, in our Nanhai Guishan school, all the secret techniques are from the "Ksitigarbha Sutra", which is related to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Although both Tibetan Buddhism and Central Plains Buddhism can belong to Mahayana Buddhism, they are slightly different. The characteristic of Tibetan Buddhism is the inheritance of Tantric Buddhism. So in Tibetan Buddhism, Ksitigarbha has many tantric inheritances. "
"You mean, the secret techniques of the Nanhai Guishan School come from Tibetan Ksitigarbha?"
"Yes. It is said that as long as you find the gate of hell, you can find the Ksitigarbha. Finding the Ksitigarbha is equivalent to finding the main practice method in the "Ksitigarbha".
I thought for a while and said: "So, the'South China Sea' in the South China Sea Turtle Mountain School is not because there is an island in the South China Sea."
"Of course not. When I said that there was a small island in the South China Sea, that was just an excuse, but the South China Sea is indeed a place name."
"What place name?"
"The Sea of Death."
I was taken aback and said, "Lop Nor!"
"Yes! Lop Nur is in the southeast of Xinjiang, so it was also known as the South China Sea in ancient Tibet and Xinjiang folks."
I sighed and said, "I don't know when we can go to Xinjiang."
Jia Sidao smiled and said, "Why can't you wait? You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step. I think I traveled between Xinjiang and Tibet on foot..."
Listening to Jia Sidao telling his glorious deeds in the past, we finally slid from the pillar to the ground.
Out of the pagoda, the next pagoda is very close to us. Between the two pagodas, connected with an iron lock, we can easily climb over.
On the following road, we encountered many problems of varying degrees, but they were all resolved by us. It took about two hours to finally reach the seventeenth tower and the eighteenth tower. .
Between the two inverted pagodas is a circular column, which connects the two pagodas. A section of the column is inlaid on the smooth stone wall. At the junction of the column and the stone wall, there is also a finger thickness. The crack looks like a thick bearing.
This thick and smooth pillar is almost the same as the pillar in the sixth inverted tower, except that it is horizontal and looks at least two to three hundred meters in length. It is horizontal in the dark air and is more difficult to climb than vertical. There is no hope of life.
We bound the pillars with rope, loose
Tied it, and then tied a safety rope around his waist, Jia Sidao walked upright on it, I tried it and felt dizzy, so I squatted on it and moved forward.
After all, squatting is not as fast as standing. So soon, Jia Sidao and I moved a dozen meters apart. Seeing that I was so slow, Jia Sidao asked me to stand up and walk, and said that I was so timid. , Don’t be a practitioner at all.
Aroused by Jia Sidao, I opened my arms and stood up slowly, then swayed from side to side with catwalks. When I hurried to Jia Sidao, I suddenly heard from the open darkness." With a sound, before we were able to find the source of the sound, the pillar under our feet suddenly turned.
I was shocked and said in a silent voice: "Damn, how can this pillar turn!"
There was a panic in his heart, and his footsteps followed the turning of the pillar, and his body began to sway unsteadily. Jia Sidao said, "Don't stop, go!"
Jia Sidao's footsteps were flying, and he was ten meters away in an instant, but I couldn't. I felt like I was standing on a huge rolling log floating in the water. In order to prevent myself from falling, my two feet could only be turned around. The pillars moved forward and couldn’t move on at all.
The pillar turned faster and faster, and Yu Guang saw that Jia Sidao had gone out for more than ten meters.
But at this moment, something more terrible happened.
boom! boom…
Gunshots came from the empty and dark place!
No, the Mao family left someone on the opposite side! We were found!
I subconsciously looked forward and saw Jia Sidao flying backwards. Under his feet, bullets hit the pillar and splashed out.
Fortunately, the people on the other side aimed at Jia Sidao in front. If they aimed at me to find someone who "stepped on the wood" in the same place, it might be solved by one bullet!
"Go back!" Jia Sidao shouted as he ran.
In a hurry, I couldn't take care of a lot, and even forgot that there was a rotating pillar under my feet, so I turned and ran.
It’s strange to say that when I ran, I felt like walking on the ground. I didn’t feel that the pillars under my feet were turning at all. I just felt that the road ahead was a straight and narrow road. The distance that I had spent ten minutes to move was actually one minute. If not, I went back to the underside of the seventeenth stupa.
Jia Sidao followed, and hurried back, cut the rope on his body with a knife, and hid with me behind the Buddha statue at the exit of the pagoda.
