Chapter 60 Thousand-faced Demon King

I said in confusion: "What is the Thousand-Faced Demon King? Can you explain it clearly at the senior?"

As a result, Jin Hu interrupted and said, "Are you Qinghai people all greeting guests like this?"

I remembered that they were both carrying luggage, so I quickly let them into the cafe and opened a separate private room.

After the settlement, Zhou Damazi said, "When I was still in the army in the Armed Police Transportation Force, I was sent to the Tanggula Pass to build roads. At that time, I was still very young and drove into that unmanned land with the troops.

But soon we encountered trouble. There was always a legend among the nomadic Tibetans in that area. An unpredictable thousand-faced demon king appeared in Tibet during the Subi Kingdom period, and every hundred years he came out to harm the world.

Our troops had just moved in, and when they heard this legend, their comrades thought it was quite interesting.

However, people began to die in the army, and more than a dozen comrades had hallucinations to varying degrees while working in the field. They died of mental breakdown within a day or two.

After my superiors learned about this situation, they sent a mysterious agency similar to Bureau 749 to investigate, but they were unable to find out the reason why my comrades had hallucinations.

So our project was stopped and all of us were stationed and rested.

It was during this period that I saw the most unforgettable scene in my life.”

As he said that, he lit a cigarette silently, his eyes full of hollowness, as if that memory was unforgettable to him.

Then he said, "That day, I was sent out to carry out a secret whistle. Just as I was lying in the snow, a wolf howl suddenly came from a distance.

I realized that this might be a nearby wolf pack, so I fired two shots into the sky to remind the camp to pay attention.

The patrol team from the camp came soon, and I followed them and searched nearby.

As a result, we found that in the direction where the wolf howling just now, there were dozens of skinned snow wolf corpses.

At first we thought it was done by poachers, but after searching, we didn't find any footprints left by anyone. Instead, there was a long list of marks like giant centipedes.

So we followed the mark and finally saw an extremely terrifying monster!

Its body is densely packed with human heads, and its hands and feet are like centipedes, all with extremely long tentacles.

We were shocked on the spot. The patrol team had short guns, and I was the only one in the middle who had long guns. It would be difficult to deal with that monster.

In order not to alert the enemy, we quickly retreated.

Unexpectedly, our actions were noticed by the monster at this time and they rushed over.

I tried my best to stop me and bought some time for everyone, but the monster was the first to use it as a target and directly grabbed it with its tentacles and threw it seven or eight meters away.

I was thrown by that monster, and I lost consciousness, but I also saved my life.

When I woke up, I was already in the military camp.

Our leader told me that after I lost consciousness, all my comrades with me were skinned and died, and I survived for no reason.

Because they didn't know the inside story of this matter and thought it was me, I was locked up.

But at this level, I saved my life and something happened in the camp that night.

This time almost everyone was not spared, except me who was locked in a closed room.

Later, the institution that studied mysterious phenomena came again, and this time I was regarded as the subject of research.

This review lasted for two years, and I was imprisoned for two years, but in the end there was no result.

So the troops released me, but at the same time the order to deport was also brought down.

After I returned home, I was always worried when I remembered the scene I encountered. I really wanted to know what the monster that caused my comrades to die strangely.

Until this year, I was scouting a mountainous area in Aba, Sichuan because I heard that there was a Tibetan ancient tomb nearby.

But during this period, I accidentally got an ancient Tibetan book, which mentioned the Thousand-Faced Demon King.

Then I remembered the story I heard when I first entered the Tanggula Pass, so I guessed that the snowy monster I encountered would be the Thousand-Faced Demon King?

Later, I asked someone to study the ancient book and found that there was a place mentioned in it, on a mountain not far from the Tanggula Pass, where there was a sky burial platform.

It is said that the real body of the Thousand-Faced Demon King is suppressed under the Sky Burial Platform, and at the same time, there are a large number of treasures robbed by the Tubo army when attacking the Subi Kingdom in front of him.

So I found Jinhu and wanted to take a risk with him.

I heard that you are his friend, a native of Qinghai, and you have also traveled to the ancient tombs in Quanzhou with him. I wonder if you are interested in going with us?"

I suddenly felt helpless. Jinhu's mouth was really not strict at all. I didn't expect that we would shake off the incident of our trip to Quanzhou so soon.

And this Zhou Damazi is obviously not a good person, and she even wants to bring me into the group.

I think it was already miserable to be fooled by Professor Wu last time, so I can't continue to jump into the fire pit.

So I said to him, "Senior, what you said sounds interesting. But I am a serious good citizen. If I hadn't been deceived into going down to the ancient tomb once, I would have never done such a thing, and I would have no experience at all.

I think you have found the wrong person. If you want to ask me to be your tour guide for a few days, then I'm very happy. But let's forget about this."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Damazi then laughed and said, "Haha, I'm afraid it's easy to get back into the industry. Since you have already gone to the ancient tomb with Jinhu once, you are an insider in the industry. Besides, I heard from him that your skills are OK, so I decided to accept you as my apprentice."

As he said that, he handed me a copper coin. I saw that the copper coin was engraved with the words "Yongle Tongbao", and there was nothing special.

As a result, Jinhu said: "This copper coin is not simple. It is a token of the masters of the Mazi Ge family and a talisman of their southern masters. One is priceless, so keep it up!"

I shook my head and said, "Senior, don't you understand what I mean yet? I don't want to do such a thing. I have my own career. Tomb robbing and acupuncture are too far away for me. One experience is enough."

Zhou Damazi suddenly said with a dark face: "Don't be rude! The copper coins are granted, and they will not be taken back. In the Zhou family era, we were all single descendants and never granted them to outsiders. If it weren't for my generation's failure, then would it be your turn?"

I smiled and said, "This is even more strange. I am not your Zhou family, why should I pass on your craft?"

Unexpectedly, Jinhu, the guy, also advised me: "Little Xuzi, can't you give me some face? Brother Mazi is so big in our tomb robber world. Many people still can't see him. If you want to learn his skills, it can be considered as inheriting an intangible cultural heritage!"

I said angrily, "Shut up! Then why don't you learn? Little fat man, you can do it now. I just took you in, so you pushed me into the fire pit, right?"

Jin Hu said: "If that's the case, I'm not incompetent! Besides, I'm on par with Brother Mazi, why do I still learn his skills? I'm thinking that our brothers will do some big careers in the future, just how much money can you make in a year?

It’s better to pour a few big fights out of our lives so that we will never have to worry about eating and drinking.”

I was about to scold this grandson for a few more words, but Zhou Damazi said: "I suddenly remembered that besides the Thousand-Faced Demon King, there might be something that can arouse your interest, and something about your Xu family."

I was stunned and asked quickly: "About our Xu family? Is this Thousand-Faced Demon King still related to our Xu family?"

Zhou Damazi said, "Haha, then your imagination is too rich. I want to say that in Tibet, there are also roots of your Xu Fu lineage."

I asked suspiciously, "What do you say? Do you also know the family background of our Xu family?"

Zhou Damazi said: "In fact, not only I know everything about you and your Xu family, but many people know it, but you don't know it.

It sounds a bit confusing, right? That's because someone has released all the secrets of your Xu family, and there must be something you didn't know about..."
