"You never went down again after that?" Ku Junwei asked.

Xiong Da said: "I went down once! After I went up, I reported the situation of the underground cave to the captain of the patrol team. The captain also felt incredible. Later, he took the whole team down again. However, none of us moved the bronze cauldron, because everyone thought that thing was a bit weird and worried about causing trouble.

At that time, there were two Tibetan soldiers in the patrol. They knelt down to the bronze cauldron for a long time. I asked them what it means to have a head in the bronze cauldron. They only said that it might be a kind of sacrifice, but they didn’t know what it was!”

Sacrifice?!

What sacrifices use a large cauldron head?

If it is really a kind of sacrifice, it may also be a mysterious evil sacrifice!

Also, why is such a bronze tripod buried in Kunlun Snow Mountain?

Who left this?

What is the object of the bronze tripod?

These questions are covered in dust under the snow and ice, and no one will ever reveal them.

A shadow faintly covered my heart. It seems that the Kunlun Snow Mountain is not as simple as we imagined.

There are many unknown secrets buried in the vast snow-capped mountains.

Looking at the mountains passing through the car window, I prayed silently in my heart: "I hope our trip to Kunlun will be smooth and there will be no accidents!"

Xiong Da said: "In order to prevent future generations from falling into this cave again and touching this evil cauldron, the patrol captain decided to seal the crack at the time. When we left, we threw two grenades into the cave, blew the cave down, completely blocked the crack, and buried the bronze cauldron under the snow-capped mountains forever!"

"Brother Wei, you are knowledgeable, what do you think about this matter?" I turned my head and asked Ku Junwei.

Ku Junwei said: "I agree with the two Tibetan soldiers that this bronze cauldron is used for sacrifices, but what kind of sacrifice is it? Who is the object of the sacrifice? I am not a god, and I have no way of knowing these! But I think the patrol captain's decision was right at that time. He sealed the cave and buried the bronze cauldron forever, so as not to let this evil thing come back to the light of day. He did a good job!

But on the other hand, I am a little worried that this trip to Kunlun, there are many evil things in Kunlun Mountains. I hope there will be no accidents in our trip to Kunlun!"

I nodded. Ku Junwei had the same idea as me. No matter how many secrets there are in Kunlun Mountain, it has nothing to do with us. We just want to get the spiritual essence of the earth smoothly to resolve the siege of Fengdu.

"Let me tell you something else, it's something I've experienced personally!" Xiong Da was very excited today and started talking.

We originally liked to listen to these folk events. Since Xiong Da’s belly was full of stories, we were naturally happy to listen.

Xiong Da said: "In the late 1970s and early 1980s, I had been serving in Kunlun Mountain garrison for almost ten years and had long been used to life here. At that time, the newly recruited soldiers who had just arrived at the garrison wanted to call me the old squad leader.

I remember it was midsummer and the weather outside was already very hot. However, at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, there was almost no four seasons a year. There were only four seasons, cold, very cold, and extremely cold.

The concept of summer is that it is not as cold as usual. You can wear two fewer winter clothes inside, making it easier to move.

But it is not possible at night. You must rely on the stove to keep warm, otherwise you will be frozen.

That time, I took a squad of soldiers to patrol and happened to run into a poaching gang.

In that era, poaching gangs were very rampant, all of them were bandits licking blood from the knife.

Although the Kunlun Snow Mountain is cold, the natural resources on the mountain are still very rich, and there are also many precious wild animals. Some of these poaching gangs have guns. Relying on the complex environment of Kunlun Mountain, they have been engaged in illegal activities in Kunlun Mountain for many years, and the situation of exchanging fire with the army from time to time.

That time, we also encountered such a poaching gang.

During our patrol, we found the fur and blood of the wild wolf, as well as the cut-off wolf head, which made us very indignant. Especially the Tibetan soldiers in the team were so angry that they swear to peel the skins of the poaching beasts.

The wild wolf in Kunlun Mountain, also known as the snow wolf in the locals, is a kind of creature admired by the locals. The fur of the snow wolf is very thick and soft, and can be made into very beautiful fur coats. It is expensive, so it makes them the primary hunting targets of poachers.

After we discovered that someone was hunting snow wolf, we followed us all the way and soon caught up with the poaching gang, and the two sides started a fierce encounter.

We are all well-trained PLA soldiers. No matter how fierce the poachers are, they are just a group of mobs. With our cooperation and suppression, the poaching gang was quickly disbanded, dead and wounded. The guy who led the lead fled with a few people and horses, and finally escaped into an ice cave.

I knew that these bastards were at the end of their poverty and would have to fight back frantically. Moreover, they occupied the entrance of the cave. We rushed in rashly, which might cause casualties. So I did not adopt the strong attack tactic, but siege. We set up defenses at the entrance of the cave, and did not go in. We just guarded at the door until they were out of ammunition and food.

Within two days, some people couldn't help but suffer from hunger and tried to escape, but were successfully shot dead by us.

The people inside didn't dare to come out. They were sleepy for three or four days and no one came out again. Only then did I take people into the cave.

There was no living in the cave. Those bastards were trapped in the cave. There was no food or fire source and they had already frozen into human ice sculptures.

We are all very happy to have successfully annihilated this poaching gang, and no one regrets the death of these bastards.

Just as we were cleaning up the scene, we actually found several murals on the walls of the cave!”

"mural?!"

After hearing this, my curiosity was stirred up again. How could there be murals in the ancient ice cave?

"What kind of mural is that?" I asked Xiong Da curiously.

Xiong Da said: "The surface of the mountain wall is covered with a layer of white frost. The murals are just under the frost. They look like they are embedded in glass windows. It feels very strange! Well, the murals are all very large, each of which is a giant mural. The things they paint are very strange, all of which are divine beasts that we have never seen before. I guess it may be something in myths and legends.

I only remember that there is a mural that is a bird, a huge bird. I don’t have much impression of the contents of other murals, because I don’t know what it is.

Anyway, those murals are quite spectacular. The largest murals are as high as 20 or 30 meters high and are carved on the mountain wall. The lines of those murals are not complicated, but the patterns drawn are lifelike!

The soldiers who entered the ice cave were all shocked by these giant murals.

It is hard to imagine who was leaving such a stunning and magnificent painting in such an ice cave?"

Yes, who is the one who left such a magnificent giant mural in the ice cave in Kunlun Mountain?

How many unknown secrets are buried in the Kunlun Mountains?

Looking at the rolling Kunlun Mountain, I suddenly felt a sense of awe and worship of this Kunlun Mountain, known as the "ancestor of all mountains".

Xiong Da said: "The story is not over yet!"

Um?

Not over yet?

What else happened next?

We held our breath and continued to listen.

Xiong Da continued: "After we returned, we reported this matter to our superiors, which attracted the attention of relevant departments. About a month later, a scientific expedition team came to Kunlun Mountain. It is said that there were experts who came from Beijing. At that time, I personally led the team to drive a military vehicle to greet them.

After the scientific expedition team arrived in Kunlun Mountain, they did not delay for a quarter of an hour and set out directly to the ice cave.

The garrison also sent a company of troops to protect the safety of the scientific expedition team.

You guess, what else did the scientific expedition team find besides finding a large number of giant murals in the ice cave?"

We were stunned. The scientific expedition team found other things in the ice cave?!

I waved my hand to Xiong Da: "Brother Xiong, you'd better say it directly, don't let us guess, so as not to start talking nonsense again!" When I said this, I pointed at Lei Zi, who was purely the king of talking nonsense.

"Bronze pillar! A bronze pillar embedded in the mountain!" Xiong Da narrowed his eyes and took a sip. The cigarette burned to the end. He vomited a mouthful of smoke and bounced the cigarette butts out of the car window.

What's the thing?!

We looked at Xiong Da, the bronze pillar in surprise?!

Xiong Da nodded: "The scientific expedition team found a bronze pillar in the mountain of the Ice Cave. The bronze pillar was extremely huge, and it was also engraved with mysterious words and patterns. It is said that five or six adults can be hugged together, just like a sky-raising tree growing from the bottom of the mountain!

The scientific expedition team dug for three days and three nights, but finally gave up because the bronze pillar entered the ground too deep, deep enough to the end, as if it had penetrated the entire Kunlun Mountain. If Kunlun Mountain is compared to an umbrella, the bronze pillar is like the umbrella bone in the center of the umbrella, supporting the entire Kunlun Mountain!"

We were stunned when we heard this, and looked at Xiong Da with his mouth open, so shocked that we couldn't speak.

If the bronze tripod and the giant murals before were mysterious enough, then the bronze pillar at this time was truly shocking!
Chapter completed!
