Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 280: Better to believe it, burning soul

Su Tiansheng grinned.

He raised the hammer high and slowly moved it above Cui Hao's back.

"Let your good brother come first."

"No! Don't!" I shouted desperately.

But the hammer in Su Tiansheng's hand had already fallen.

There was no way he would listen to me. On the contrary, the louder I shouted, the happier he was.

I quickly yelled at Ma Si, "Hurry up and make him stop!"

"I have a big secret!"

"It's about the secret of the Nuo ritual!"

At this time, the hammer in Su Tiansheng's hand was less than ten centimeters away from Cui Hao's spine.

Just a moment.

Cui Hao had to spend the rest of his life in bed.

I felt bitter in my heart.

That's too late!

Mouse...

I closed my eyes tightly, unable to bear the sight of his spine being broken.

One second, two seconds.

There was no sound of the hammer hitting the ground.

The tightly closed eyelids opened slightly.

He saw that Ma Si had grabbed Su Tiansheng's wrist, and the hammer was only a millimeter away from hitting Cui Hao's spine.

If we were even a little bit later, the consequences would be disastrous.

Su Tiansheng roared in dissatisfaction: "Why are you stopping me?"

"Do you believe that bastard's bluff?"

"I'd rather believe it." Ma Si said slowly, "If it's a bluff, I'll make him regret being born into this world."

Ma Si was determined to win the Nuo sacrifice.

So there can be no room for error.

Snapped!

Ma Si slapped me lightly on the face, then pinched my cheeks and shook them twice.

"Boy, I have ten thousand ways to make you suffer a fate worse than death."

"Never say anything you'll regret."

grunt.

I swallowed hard.

That was just a bluff done in a desperate situation.

Want to delay some time.

But Ma Si is not someone who can be easily fooled.

In order to resolve the current crisis, we must make up a lie that can scare him.

The difficulty is not a little bit high.

If you say something wrong, you will be exposed.

"The top of the stone pile, have you ever been there before?" I asked, thinking.

Ma Si frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Speaking of the secrets of the Great Nuo ritual, don't give me any nonsense."

"I'll count to three."

"If you can't tell me what I'm interested in, your rat brother's vertebrae are more than just broken."

"One, two..."

As the three words were about to come out of my mouth, I didn't have time to write them carefully.

Just say whatever comes to mind.

I hope what I say will interest Ma Si.

"I found a human skin thangka on the pile of rocks!"

"And there's a demon-subduing pestle!"

"The top of the stone pile is open in the middle, which means someone has been down here before!"

I'm taking a gamble.

Du Ma Si and his friends had never been on the stone pile, so they didn't know what the situation was like on the top of the stone pile.

The reason I made this bet was because when Ma Si was pretending to be Taoist Zhang, he asked me several times to find a way to dig up the tomb of the gods.

This shows that they have never found a way to enter the God's Tomb.

That's why they went to such great lengths to lure a tomb robber like me into this place.

If I think about it more deeply, the curse on Cui Hao and me is actually a poisonous insect, and Ma Si is an expert in using poisonous insects!

Maybe the poison in our bodies was provided by him!

The more I think about it, the closer I get to the truth!

Ma Si's face changed drastically.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the crack.

Looking up through the crack, we can vaguely see the entrance of the cave where we first came down.

Seeing his expression change, I felt a little relieved.

It seems that the bet was right!

But the next step is even more difficult. You have to make up a lie that Ma Si will believe.

Ma Si asked in a deep voice, "Where are the human skin thangka and the demon-subduing pestle?"

"In my backpack."

Ma Si made a gesture, and Su Tiansheng walked towards the backpack reluctantly.

Soon the backpack was brought over.

Su Tiansheng grabbed the bottom of the bag and tilted it downwards, and the contents of the bag fell out with a loud noise.

Ma Si squatted down and rummaged through the fallen things, then found the human skin thangka and unfolded it.

"Acala, the chief of the Eight Great Myoko."

"It's still the Six-Armed Acala..."

The "immovability" of Acala refers to his unshakable compassion.

Ming means the light of wisdom.

King refers to the one who controls all phenomena.

Acala symbolizes the ability to think calmly, move forward courageously, and destroy all obstacles to achieve the ultimate goal.

In Tantric Buddhism, the Acalanatha is mostly worshipped in the form of two arms, representing the unchanging nature of the Dharma.

Only the Kadampa school worships the wrathful form of Acala, and it is also worshipped in the Eastern Esoteric Buddhism.

The Kadam school mainly practices the real tantra, which is the third of the four tantras.

By the Qing Dynasty, the Kadampa sect was assimilated into the Yellow Sect and no longer existed independently.

Su Tiansheng touched the human skin thangka and said, "Tsk tsk, it feels even more tender than a girl's face."

“It’s just that the paintings are too ugly.”

"It's so blue, it looks like a ghost."

Ma Si glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"This thing... is really weird."

"Tsk!" Su Tiansheng laughed disdainfully, "What's so weird about that?"

"Gods, demons, and monsters are all made up by humans. We are people who pretend to be gods and ghosts. How can we be scared by this thing?"

"You don't understand." Ma Si shook his head slightly.

It can be seen that Ma Si is in awe of the human skin thangka.

No.

It should be said that he has a fear of ghosts and gods.

Come to think of it, if he had no reverence for ghosts and gods, he wouldn't have been so persistent in completing the Nuo sacrifice.

“Ghosts and gods do exist.”

"It's just that most of the time, most people can't see it."

"I've seen it before... I won't talk about it anymore."

Ma Si folded the human skin thangka and then picked up the demon-subduing pestle.

He grabbed the demon-subduing pestle and weighed it twice.

"This weight, could it be made of meteorite iron?"

"A meteorite iron demon-subduing pestle and a human skin thangka, how could such precious things be left behind?"

"Tell me the details of how these things were discovered."

Seeing that Ma Si attached great importance to these two things, I felt that the opportunity had come.

Maybe we can negotiate terms with him first.

At the very least, it can buy some time to find a solution.

However, before I could say anything, Ma Si had already unscrewed the flat iron box and pinched out a small white ball.

It's the kind of insect pill that can cause hallucinations!

My eye twitched: "What are you going to do?!"

Ma Si didn't answer me.

Instead, he pinched my jawbone on both sides of my cheeks.

He suddenly exerted force with his fingers and pried my mouth open.

Then the small white ball was crushed and stuffed into my mouth.

"This insect works fastest when fed into the mouth."

"If you eat enough, you'll not only experience hallucinations, but you'll also be induced to recreate scenes from your memory."

"That way you don't have to bother making up half-truths."

I was so angry that I was about to curse, but my vision became blurred.

I vaguely saw something floating behind Ma Si.

Is the insect causing me to hallucinate?

As I was thinking about it, the floating thing became clearer.

It’s Huang Ziming!

Huang Ziming was seen floating past Ma Si.

She floated in front of me and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, at least you're not late."

"After you opened the Heavenly Gate, your body didn't change, but you could burn your soul!"

"Concentrate your mind and burn your soul, and you will unleash all the potential in your body!"

"I'll help you ignite your soul."

"Break all illusions!"
