Chapter 188: The Power of Faith
It was almost noon when he set off from Guxiang Lake, because the camping conference had just ended, and Hu Hai still had a lot to do, Li Yang didn't bother too much, and left after saying goodbye on WeChat.
On his way to Bomi, he stopped to have lunch there before continuing his journey.
As soon as the car was parked, Li Yang saw a Peppa mother with a group of Peppa and George, picking up garbage to eat in front of the hotel.
When Li Yang checked the strategy before, he saw that some people said that there were a lot of black pigs on Bomi Street, and sure enough, there were really big pigs and small pigs everywhere on the street.
Other places are full of stray cats and dogs, Li Yang is really the first time to see stray pigs all over the street, although he has seen one or two stray pigs on the streets of other counties when he came, but he has really never seen so many, and they are all family by family, it is really spectacular.
In Tibetan areas, people's worship of faith is deep-rooted and inviolable.
So whether in the temple or on the street, the position of life is supreme, whether it is a stray cat, a stray dog, or a stray pig.
If you think that pigs without owners can be slaughtered and eaten, then you will be miserable, and if you don't do it well, it will cause outrage.
For devout Buddhists, it is not permissible to artificially stifle the lives of people and animals as long as they are pregnant.
This can't help but remind Li Yang of the butcher in the movie "Kailash", in order to survive, he had to kill cattle to earn money, but he suffered from inner torment every day, feeling that he had killed so many cows in a deep sin, afraid of retribution, and could only rely on alcohol to numb his nerves every day to sleep.
Later, in order to be able to wash away the sins, he embarked on the road of worship with everyone.
The power of faith is so powerful that, if used in the right place, is enough to restore hope to a desperate person.
If it is used in the wrong place, it will also create a group of crazy people who are paralyzed by the mind.
Of course, most of the faith in this world teaches people to be good, and it gives many people faith and strength, helping them to survive many sleepless nights and many difficulties in life.
Although Li Yang has no faith, he respects faith and admires those who have faith.
After starting from Bomi, Li Yang embarked on a trip to Nyingchi, except for Bomi, the road conditions are very good, basically all smooth asphalt roads, and the mountains are full of lush vegetation along the way, a piece of vitality, and even gives people a feeling that the Nyingchi area is worthy of being the richest land in the whole Tibet.
After driving a distance, Li Yang suddenly saw some worshippers on the side of the road who didn't know where to start and kowtowed.
They are dressed plainly, with leather on their chests, knee pads, guards in their hands, words in their mouths, hands folded, raised above their heads, five bodies thrown to the ground, three steps and one knock, and the cycle repeats, trekking devout to the land of the Holy Spirit in their hearts.
Li Yang once saw those worshippers in the movie "Kailash", they set out from their hometown, traveled thousands of miles, lasted for months and years, ate and drank dew, stopped in the morning and west, let the sand, rock, ice, snow and rain rage, and not only the course of faith, persistently bowed to the destination, so many months, it is really unbelievable.
Li Yang actually couldn't understand this kind of behavior in his heart when he watched the movie, after all, he was not a devout believer.
But at this time, seeing their pious figures and firm expressions, Li Yang really felt very shocked in his heart, what a strong belief and what a strong perseverance can be done.
It is estimated that there are not many people in the circle in his life who can do it, at least Li Yang feels that he can't do it!
Of course, words can't be said too absolutely.
If someone says to give 10 million or 100 million, let people kowtow and walk a thousand miles, it is estimated that many people will squeeze their heads to do it.
So it's sad to think about!
The world I live in seems to be two worlds from here.
Your own world money is the belief of many people.
But here, in the face of true faith, money can really turn into dung!
Li Yang couldn't help but sigh again at the power of faith.
Out of respect, Li Yang did not take pictures of these pious worshippers with his mobile phone, but slowly drove past them, giving them respect and admiration for their behavior with his eyes.
After driving forward for a distance, Li Yang saw a group of men and women, old and young, and there was a farm truck pulling a cart of sleeping supplies in the front.
It looked almost the same as the picture he saw in the movie, Li Yang guessed that they should all come out of the same village together, and they should have gone a long way to see this battle.
But what caught Li Yang's attention was that in this line of worship, there was actually a local dog, which was very thin, similar to those worshippers, and covered in dust.
It has been following a little girl who looks like eleven or twelve, the girl stopped and bowed to the ground, it also stopped, the girl stood up and continued to move forward, it continued to move forward, and the picture was a little moving.
Li Yang deliberately slowed down the car, watched after them for a while, and even couldn't help but record this scene with a mobile phone video.
Suddenly, the group stopped, and then sat on the side of the road to rest, also waiting for the slow walker.
Li Yang also stopped the car, took some mineral water and walked over, handed it to the worshippers, and said, "Tashi Delek!"
The leader of this group of worshippers smiled and said something in Tibetan that Li Yang did not understand, and Tashi Delek Li Yang could understand it.
But looking at their expressions, they should also be some words of thanks.
"Where are you from?" Li Yang asked with a smile, he actually had the attitude of trying to see if anyone could speak Mandarin.
But these people basically couldn't understand Li Yang's words, only two of the younger men understood, and almost at the same time they spoke a word of Mandarin that was not very fluent.
But Li Yang didn't understand much where they came from, because he didn't know the name of the place.
"How many days have you been gone?" Li Yang asked again.
"It's been two months!" said one of the men, and then took a sip of the water Li Yang had given.
Li Yang was shocked in his heart, it had been two months, and he was really kowtowing, Li Yang actually wanted to ask more about their pilgrimage journey, and wanted to know what kind of wishes and beliefs they had to worship.
But after thinking about it, I swallowed it back, afraid that I didn't understand some of their cultural customs and had no intention of offending them.
At this moment, the little girl who walked at the back also caught up, and came to Li Yang with some curiosity to look at him, but she looked shy.
This little girl is very cute, her eyes are big, very bright, very pure, but her skin is a little dark because of the wind and wind, and her body is full of dust.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Li Yang's heart was actually quite complicated, he didn't know what to say, or what he wanted to express, he just hoped that one day, faith and civilization could be well integrated, or complement each other to make this place better.
But maybe it's just his wishful thinking, there are thousands of lives in this world, and he can't use his own values to measure whether they are happy or not.
Li Yang took out some chocolates from his coat pocket that he used to temporarily fill his hunger and replenish blood sugar on the road, and handed them to the little girl.
But the little girl took a step back and waved her hand.
"You can eat a piece of this when you're hungry on the road!" Li Yang said with a smile.
The man who had just spoken to Li Yang said something to the girl in Tibetan, and the girl reached out to take the chocolate in Li Yang's hand and said thank you.
Li Yang found out that she could speak Mandarin.
"What's your name?" asked Li Yang.
"Slang Zhuoga!" replied the girl.
"Is that dog yours?" Li Yang glanced at the dog that followed the little girl.
The little girl nodded, then shook her head again and said, "It was met on the road, I gave it some food, and then it has been following us for more than a month!"
Li Yang suddenly realized that it was a stray dog, but looking at its appearance, he had already decided that the little girl was its owner, and followed her religiously all the way, perhaps in the dog's life, loyalty is their belief.
