Chapter 755: Sacred Mountain!
After Yun Lei was instructed by the nameless Yuan Infant Great Monk of the Ancient Rujia Temple, the Mount Meru he went to was called Kailash by the people of the border Tibet. The height of this mountain is only 6,656 meters, and in terms of height alone, it is not high among the many peaks on the Tibetan Plateau in China that exceed 8,000 meters above sea level.
Even the nearby Namunani Peak is 7,694 meters above sea level, more than 1,000 meters higher than Mount Kailash.
However, this Mount Kailash is completely different from the surrounding mountains. The main peak of this mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the shape is symmetrical, and the shape of the mountain wall is like a lotus flower. It is like an eight-petal lotus flower surrounding. From the top of the mountain, a huge ice trough hangs down, and the horizontal rock formations form an ingenious swastika.
And this ingenious swastika is one of the symbols of Buddhism.
Generally speaking, the climate of the Tibetan Plateau is cold and dry. There is very little water vapor, but at the summit of Mount Kailash, there are large clouds from time to time. I don't know where the water vapor came from, burying this mountain in the clouds!
Of course, this kind of ignorance is only the ignorance of the people in the world, not the ignorance of Yunlei and Rao Ya.
After Yun Lei and Rao Ya wandered around the underground world, they had a completely different understanding of the Tibetan Plateau in China. Others don't know where this water vapor comes from, but Yun Lei and Rao Ya know very well that the location of this Mount Kailash corresponds to the underground ocean where the magma rushes into the sea.
There the water vapor is steaming. Some of the water vapor escapes from the cracks in the earth, transpires, turns into clouds, and floats next to Mount Kailash, which is the most normal thing!
However, it is precisely because of this Mount Kailash that there are such cascading clouds and snowy peaks that do not melt all year round. And it has a peculiar shape, so when the sun sets, it looks very beautiful! Therefore, all people regard this mountain as a kind of supernatural place.
This Mount Kailash is regarded as the center of the world by Yongzhong Bon, Aurora, Tibetan Buddhism, and ancient Jainism on the Tibetan Plateau or in the radiation area of the Tibetan Plateau. This Mount Kailash has become a sacred mountain on a par with Europa Olympus.
In these sects, there are myths and legends related to Mount Kailash.
In Yongzhong's teachings, Kailash is known as the "Mountain of Nine Characters". Yongzhong Bon believes that it originated in this mountain, and there are 360 gods and goddesses believed in Yongzhong Bon who live here. Yongzhong's patriarch Dumbasin descended from the sky, and this mountain is where he landed.
It is believed that the mountain is the abode of Shiva, the most powerful and highest-ranking of the three main gods of Aurora, and therefore, this mountain has also become the center of the world. It is recorded in the creation epic "Ramayana" of the Aurora people.
In ancient Jainism, Kailash is known as "Ashtabhada", the highest mountain, and the devotees of ancient Jainism believe that this mountain is the place where their patriarch Rishabana attained enlightenment.
Tibetan Buddhism believes that this mountain is the abode of Chakra Vajra, representing immeasurable happiness.
Even the Buddhist disciples of China believe that this is where Mount Meru is located.
And this mountain is indeed the birthplace of four great rivers!
The river that flows to the east is the Danchozang Bumaquan River, and the downstream is the Brahmaputra River. The river that flows to the west is the Langchen Zangbo Xiangquan River, and the downstream is the Sutrej River.
The river that flows to the south is the Majia Zangbo Peacock River, and the lower reaches are the Ganges. The river that flows to the north is the Senge Zangbo Shiquan River, and the downstream is the Aurora River!
Because of the presence of these seemingly miraculous miracles, a large number of pilgrims and tourists arrive at the foot of Mount Kailash every year. Walking around Mount Kailash has become the main activity for all tourists and pilgrims.
It takes about fifty-seven kilometers to go around Mount Kailash. Many people need to turn for two or three days before they can finish it. Some people with better physical fitness only need to use it for one day. However, there are also some devout practitioners who do not use walking when turning mountains, but kneel or crawl.
One step at a time, one step at a time, the whole body fell to the ground without reservation. It is so devout that it moves forward. The speed of turning the mountain can be imagined. Sometimes, it is normal for dozens of days to turn around. Of course, such devout believers, sometimes, do more than just go around in circles. It's about going around many times.
Although in Yunlei's eyes, this kind of behavior has no meaning. However, sometimes I am touched by this unwavering persistence.
This strange mountain, no matter how people in the world look at it, has something magical about it. And the key solution lies in the interpretation of the word Mount Meru in the Chinese Buddhist classics - Sumeru, the name of the mountain, the center of a small world!
According to the classics known to Yunlei, the peculiar shape of this mountain is not completely natural. It was formed after being transformed by the immortal Buddha. The mountain, which is like a lotus blooming, is a huge formation. In the meantime, there is a surging flow of heaven and earth aura that is invisible to the naked eye, gathering.
Because the mountain is considered a sacred place by many, it is now Mount Kailash that attracts many tourists. However, no one has dared to climb this sacred mountain and offend the legendary center of the world. Of course, even if you climb Mount Kailash, there is only snow on the summit.
Mortals can't find out where the Kunlun Sect Mountain Gate really is.
The name "World Center", perhaps intentionally or unintentionally, happens to point out the corresponding location of this mountain in the underground world. And the location of the underground world corresponding to this Mount Kailash is the volcanic magma where the fire is born in Nanming.
There, it has remained unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. The crater, which erupts steadily like a craton, seems to be able to penetrate to the depths of the earth under the induction of clouds and thunder and the description of Nanming Lihuo! Not to mention whether it can touch the core of the earth, but the distance it goes deep into the ground is much deeper than that of human beings using machines to drill into the earth!
Perhaps, it is really this world, the center of this planet?
Although it is not very easy to go deep into the earth fire magma to explore the secrets of the god transformation period, it should not be so difficult for some existences in the realm of golden immortals or heavenly immortals.
Therefore, perhaps in ancient times, the immortal Buddha between heaven and earth had entered this underground world, the center of the fire magma and the core of the earth.
