Yang Pingfan's praise of Rubio was still useful, and he smiled slightly when he heard this, "So, do you have any extra jackets now?"

"Let me look for it, maybe someone else will leave it. ”

Rubio turned to look at the co-pilot, "Townald, look for it." ”

Donald was the co-pilot, I saw him take a thick sheepskin flight suit from the locker and hand it to Yang Pingfan, and asked thoughtfully, "Do you want hot coffee?"

"It's okay,"

Yang Pingfan took the clothes and coffee, "How is the captain's injury?"

"If you can't die, your life and roots have been broken, poor Rubio, not only will you not be able to find a woman in the future, but you will even have to squat like a woman. When Donald said this, there was no sadness on his face, and there was even a hint of wanting to laugh.

Yang Pingfan doesn't understand the humor of Westerners very well, and when he encounters this kind of tragedy, ordinary people are already sad and indignant, but the two white people in front of him still have the heart to joke.

After repeatedly confirming that the two of them could continue to operate the plane, Yang Pingfan returned to the cabin, Li Lan put on a warm flight suit, held the iron cup with hot coffee in both hands, and drank two sips, so that his teeth no longer fought, and then he asked with palpitations, "What's going on?"

Yang Pingfan sat down beside her, frowning, "It was intercepted in the air, it was a Dongying person, and it was a demon fighter jet." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, what about the magic change, there is a superman-like existence in their team, and a rifle can still beat the fighter down.

Yang Pingfan's face was not happy, "It's said that it's a magic change, but it's also a propeller fighter in this time and space, but the weapon has been replaced with a rocket in later generations, or an uncontrolled rocket in the worst street, the pilot gives me the feeling that it is also an army red deer in this time and space, all of this is weird, if Liu Yuan really wants to intercept us, he shouldn't send such a vegetable interception force, if it's me, even if it's equipped with one of the most common air-to-air missiles, we can't escape this catastrophe." ”

At the exit of this analysis, the faces of everyone in the crossing group changed, yes, even if they take the original generation of air-to-air missiles, they can be beaten as turkeys, but Liu Yuan sent such a red deer over as if he was joking.

Zhang Xiaoming sneered for a moment, and said hesitantly, "What, I've watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Cao Cao defeated Huarong Dao, Liu Yuan shouldn't really ambush an anti-aircraft missile company waiting for us in the back, right?"

"Shut up!"

“shut up！”

Everyone glared at Zhang Xiaoming angrily, Zhang Xiaoming was startled and retracted as a quail.

Although he sacrificed a co-pilot, Captain Rubio was also killed and killed, but after all, he had just passed in the Pacific Ocean and the Dongying Navy, and there was nothing to say about his physical strength and willpower, Yang Pingfan hesitated, but still took out a medical compound potion and slammed it on Rubio's arm, although it couldn't help him grow back to his life and roots, at least he wouldn't die.

The two pilots operated the C/47 transport plane to continue flying west on the snowy plateau, the majestic snow-capped mountains stood majestically and erect, showing its majesty to mankind, a few rough men had no artistic cells, and they fell asleep after watching it for a while, only Li Lan saw it with taste, and suddenly pulled Yang Pingfan, "Look, that's Kailash!"

Yang Pingfan rubbed his eyes, "What Gangzi Wave Chicken?"

"It's the sacred mountain of Kailash," Li Lan corrected, his expression solemn, "Do you know? In the snowy region, many people's lifelong wish is to make a pilgrimage to Kailash, and there is no shortage of sacred mountains on the plateau, but the four major sects of Tibetan Buddhism, Bon, Hinduism, and Jainism all regard Kailash as the head of the sacred mountain and the center of the world. ”

Yang Pingfan suddenly became interested, "Oh?

Li Suifeng next to him also became interested, Professor Li was very knowledgeable, and casually gave everyone a popular science, "Of course not, there is a saying that the roof of the world is in Tibet, and the roof of Tibet is in Ali."

There is a small mountain range in the south of Ali, the Gangdis Mountains, the main peak is Kailash with an altitude of only 6638 meters, the southern part of the Gangdis Mountains is the famous world's highest mountain range - the Himalayas, there are 10 peaks above 8000 meters alone, it is logically the center of the world, how can it not be Kailash's turn, but Kailash's snow-capped mountains melt water, giving birth to four big rivers - Maquan River, Shiquan River, Xiangquan River, Peacock River.

Ali is beautiful, with snow-capped mountains, rivers and vast grasslands, but it is really not suitable for survival.

The huge mountains of the Himalayas to the south block the warm and moist air flow from the Indian Ocean, while the Kunlun Mountains block the westerly circulation to the north.

At an average altitude of 4,500 meters, oxygen is thin, snow and hail are raging, and the reflection of snow and glaciers exacerbates the cold. 17

The high altitude made it difficult for crops to grow, and the ancestors had to survive through nomadic herding. This way of life is very dependent on the environment, and thousands of years ago, when the ancestors could not explain the strange and strange natural phenomena on the snowy plateau, they dimly felt that there was a supernatural power that controlled and dominated nature.

After the long and complex god-making movement of the primitive ancestors, about 3,500 years ago, the primitive Bon was born. The primitive Bon religion believed that "all things are animist" and worshipped the surrounding mountains, lakes, water, wind, snow, hail, and animals as gods.

Bon was born in the corner of the snowy plateau, but it is one of the oldest religions in the world, you must know that at that time, except for Brahmanism and Zoroastrianism, most of the rest only had pantheistic worship and simple sacrifices, and did not begin to take on a cultural form.

Around the 6th century AD, Sinrao Miwo unified the plateau, established the Zhangzhung Dynasty in the Zhangzhung region not far from Kailash, and reformed the original Bon religion as Yongzhong Bon.

During the Zhangzhung era, tribal chiefs, princes, nobles, and subjects prostrated at Kailash's feet, praying for his protection.

For thousands of years, ancestors around the world have seen huge rocks and glaciers as a stairway to heaven, such as the ancient Greeks, who believed that their gods resided on the top of Mount Olympus overlooking the Aegean Sea.

The Tibetan ancestors also believed that every mountain and lake could be the place where the soul of a certain god dwelled, so they identified the strange-looking peaks and lakes as "sacred mountains and sacred lakes".

At that time, people did not have the concept of modern geography and altitude measurement, and could only judge the height by the naked eye, and Kailash, although definitely not at high altitude, was very conspicuous from a distance.

The very high snow-capped peaks are shaped by glaciers and are often sharp and hard-lined, while the summit of Mount Kailash is more "rounded", with a majestic and majestic appearance among the mountains, and the summit of Mount Kailash is sunny and snow-capped all year round, and it is even more dazzling in the sun.

Another characteristic of Mount Kailash is that it is composed of layers of hard and soft lithology, and when the mountain is formed, the strata of different lithologies are laid and stacked, forming a nearly parallel horizontal texture.

The image of the Bon world is the "Nine Stacks of Yongzhong", and the nine overlapping symbolic worlds have nine layers, which are exactly opposite to the nine horizontal traces on the summit of Mount Kailash.

In addition, the huge ice trough and horizontal rock formations that fall vertically from the summit of Mount Kailash also form a natural "swastika", which is called "Yongzhong", symbolizing eternity. ”

Li Lan nodded, with a look of fascination, "Although the Zhangzhung Dynasty collapsed hundreds of years later, the Bon religion's reverence and love for nature and worship of the sacred mountain have continued in Tibet for thousands of years to come, until now. The snowy plateau is a great place to purify your soul. ”

Yang Pingfan just wanted to complain, Zhang Xiaoming couldn't hold his mouth, so he opened his mouth and came, "Go to the plateau to purify the soul, which soul are you purifying?"

"you!"

Li Suifeng leaned on the porthole and stared straight at the majestic snow-capped mountain, "Speaking of which, when Buddhism was spreading, it was rejected by the local Bon believers in Tibet, and Master Padmasambhava, who came to the plateau to preach earlier, "cleverly" absorbed the elements of the local religion, and adopted the gods of Bon as the protector of Buddhism, and worshiped the sacred mountain and the holy lake together.

Legend has it that the Buddhist master Milarepa and the Bon Grand Master Naru Ben Poor, who were both practicing at Kailash, decided to have a contest in which the winner would take possession of the sacred mountain.

In the first game, it was a battle to see who could reach the summit at sunrise, and the two were tied.

In the second game, Milarepa said: What if there is another tie this time?

As a result, the two were tied again, and the poor were willing to admit defeat.

Milarepa said: You don't see winning or losing in martial arts, and the conditions you put forward are favorable to me, which shows that you are generous and benevolent, just because I am reluctant to do this, so I have to be so rude. There is a small mountain nearby that is very imposing, and it is used as a place for your cultivation, so I don't know what to do?

Then he said, "What the master said is exactly what I want." There is a black hill next to Kailash, and legend has it that this is where Milarepa moved to the place where he practiced as a poor man.

Kailash circulated this famous story of "fighting the law", which seems to have a happy ending, but in fact hints at the reality: Buddhism and Bon had a long and fierce struggle, which ended in the defeat of Bon.

For thousands of years, horses and yaks have stepped out of narrow paths on this "place where only mice and birds can pass", and on the harsh plateau, people have communicated with each other and helped each other to continue life to this day, and these trails are forming the famous "Ancient Tea Horse Road".

As we all know, there is a queen mother in our mythology, that is, the Queen Mother of the West, who lives at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and the Queen Mother of the West is not an apocryphal mythological figure, but a real existence, but not a person, but a small tribe.

Thousands of years ago, people struggled to explain the exact origin of the river, and most of them would have followed the river upstream, believing that the source was the dwelling place of the gods. During the Han Dynasty, people went up the Yellow River and believed that the current Kunlun Mountains were the source of the Yellow River, so they regarded her as the legendary Kunlun. ”
