542, high place, feeling the heavens and spirits

Zi Hao suddenly whispered: "Senior brother, let's not go in, right?" "It's a spirit, and it's very clear and sensitive, and that invisible sense of oppression makes him a little uncomfortable.

Sheng Long also said: "Mr. Cheng, we still won't go in, right?" For some reason, he didn't feel well.

Cheng Tianle nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, let's go take a look elsewhere." He stopped in front of the Potala Palace and turned around and went to another place.

At noon, I visited the Jokhang Temple, and in the afternoon I went to Norbulingka, which is a man-made garden. Cheng Tianle came from Suzhou, of course, he has seen all kinds of gardens, but it is difficult to imagine that there is such a large artificial landscape garden on such a plateau. In the past, it was the palace of the big leaders of the Yellow Sect to spend the summer, and the scenery was very good and distinctive.

Cheng Tianle didn't appreciate the garden much, he focused on the places he was most interested in. There is the only zoo in Lassa, which contains a variety of animals living in the alpine region of the plateau, many of which have not been seen or rarely seen elsewhere by Cheng Tianle, and can be carefully sensed for their rhythmic characteristics.

In the evening, Cheng Tianle found a youth hostel to live in, released Zi Hao and Sheng Long to protect the Dharma outside, and entered the world of the picture scroll after closing the door. There are many things that are not for outsiders, and he will only communicate with Xiao Shao.

He said to Xiao Shao: "Today I went to the Jokhang Temple, knelt down in the Tara Palace, saw the various incarnations of Tara, and had a trace of enlightenment in the wonderful method of desire and happiness. When he said this, he was sitting, and Xiao Shao was sitting face to face in his arms, held by him on his lap.

Xiao Shao blushed, bowed his head and said: "Two days ago, I heard you talk about all the things you saw during your journey of thousands of miles, it was very interesting, and today I went to the Jokhang Temple, and what did I realize?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "There was a time. You are gone, but you see all kinds of things in the picture scroll, just like seeing you. Cultivating the path of happiness and happiness, and all kinds of joy are endless, all of which come from you. I have heard the legend here that every snow-capped mountain is a goddess, and if I come to a certain snow-capped mountain, the goddess of the snow-capped mountain is you; If I go to the grassland, the moonlight on the grassland is also your ......"

Xiao Shao's expression was a little intoxicated. He buried his head in his shoulder and said, "Silly music, you have also learned to write love poems?" ”

Cheng Tianle hugged her, and seemed to form some kind of handprint: "Is this a love poem?" Well, that's what I realize today. Seeing the incarnation of the twenty-one tars, I suddenly thought of the wonderful meaning of lust and happiness. What is the realm of endless pleasure? I am very fortunate to have this world of the picture scroll, and I have you who are transformed by the charm of the landscape of the picture scroll world, so that I can cultivate the vacuum wonderland in the double path of desire and happiness. ”

As he spoke, he imprinted what he saw and realized in the Tara Hall today into Xiao Shao's primordial spirit. Xiao Shao also closed his eyes, and whispered with his lips against his earlobes: "Try it now?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "Haven't we been cultivating?" ”

Xiao Shao: "Desire Vacuum Bright Realm, have you verified it?" ”

Cheng Tianle: "You and I are double cultivating. If I seek it, you will prove it. Today's enlightenment has glimpsed the doorway. ”

……

In youth hostels, there is often a caravan outsourcing. When the number of people is insufficient, they put a note on the blackboard of the hostel to recruit teammates, and a group of people who may not know each other can pack a few buggies here to form a temporary self-guided tour team. Go to nearby attractions to visit. Cheng Tianle went to Mount Everest this time, and there are many tourists who take this line. After returning from Norbulingka, he first applied for a border guard permit from the public security, and set off with the brigade early the next morning.

The regiment had a total of three off-road vehicles, five people per car, including the driver, and the agreed route was to go to the base camp on Mount Everest via Shigatse, and then set off from Mount Everest and return to Lhasa via Yangbajing and Namtso, which was equivalent to making a big circle on the plateau, and the journey took three days and four nights. Out of an instinctive habit, Cheng Tianle carefully probed the vitality and rhythm characteristics of these people, wanting to see if there were any demon cultivators lurking, but he found nothing.

There are still the vast majority of normal people living in this world, and if fifteen people can go out in a group to discover demon cultivation, it is too terrifying.

Lhasa is not far from Mount Everest, the road mileage is only 600 kilometers, but the car on the plateau is not fast, and they are not in a hurry, and they have to visit scenic spots along the way, so it takes two days to arrive. In the afternoon, I came to Shigatse and visited the famous Tashilhunpo Monastery, which is also the residence and spiritual pagoda of the Panchen Lama, and the magnificent monastery treasures all kinds of utensils.

Cheng Tianle entered the temple gate and walked through the square, and did not follow the tourists to start the tour from the right, but followed the Tibetan believers who visited the Tibetan believers to climb the steps from the left, and came to the famous Tara Hall of Tashilhunpo Monastery under the path of the ancient knotted trees full of small white flowers. The steps in front of the hall are made of clay, but they are polished by the devotees and monks. Cheng Tianle reached out and touched the brass bell hanging in the porch, and walked through the patio to the wooden staircase of the Tara Hall as the bell rang.

In the middle of this is a two-meter-high bronze statue of White Tara, flanked by green Tara clay sculptures, Cheng Tianle once again bowed down in the Tara Temple, still closed his eyes for a long time. This time, he sensed mainly the breath left by people for hundreds of years, as if he could vaguely understand the thoughts of those people when they bowed down to this Buddha statue. There are also monks who practice the same or similar methods as spiritual heat attainments, and have been enlightened here.

After a round in Tashilhunpo Monastery and staying in Shigatse that night, Cheng Tianle still entered the world of painting scrolls and met Xiao Shao for double cultivation. Although it is in a dangerous place on the plateau, the scenery along the way is infinitely beautiful, and the days of Chengtianle are also extremely beautiful.

The next day, we departed from Shigatse to Mount Everest, and on both sides of the road were endless rolling wastelands, with weeds growing close to the ground, and a little greenery could be seen in the dark brown in the distance, and the blue sky in the distance. When the car traveled until noon, I saw a snow-capped mountain, but the car walked far towards the snow-capped mountain, and the snow-capped mountain was still there, as if it could never be reached.

Cheng Tianle didn't show anything unusual along the way, sitting in the passenger seat and looking through the car window, he saw an eagle flying over the plateau more than once, but he couldn't tell what kind of eagle it was. Zi Hao hid in his Quchi cave and never showed his face, while Sheng Long occasionally poked out his sleeves, this cute "little squirrel" made his companions curious and surprised, adding a lot of fun to the boring journey.

The girl sitting in the back row reached out and touched its fluffy back and tail and said, "What a cute little thing, why doesn't it have altitude sickness at all?" ”

Sheng Long raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Tianle, looking very aggrieved. Cheng Tianle said in the Yuan Shen: "What's wrong with touching it twice? Be careful, but don't fart in the car. ”

The terrain is getting higher and higher, the temperature is getting lower and lower, the air is getting thinner and thinner, they have crossed the snow line at an altitude of 5,000 meters, and the road is becoming more and more sparsely populated. The off-road vehicle winds up the mountain, and even the weeds on the surrounding mountains are barely visible. Cheng Tianle silently felt the vast artistic conception between heaven and earth, looking at the scenery outside the car window.

When the car drove into a mountain pass, Cheng Tianle inexplicably felt that the light and shadow on the surrounding peaks showed a huge pattern that resembled the facial features of a human face, and there was also an indescribable sense of being watched in the Yuan Shen. This is true not only of a mountain, but also of several surrounding mountains, which not only have a face, but also seem to have a gender, and I don't know how many years they have overlooked this valley, silently watching the travelers in a hurry.

I don't know what the meaning of this majestic gaze is, as if they are just spectators, watching the passage of time and the changes of heaven and earth, adding heaven and earth to this desolate and mysterious plateau. Maybe this is just a trance illusion, Cheng Tianle hurried by in the car, and before he had time to take a closer look, he sighed in his heart at this incredible magic.

……

The convoy arrived at the foot of Mount Everest in the afternoon. There is the highest temple in the world, Rongbu Temple, and there is a hotel for tourists to stay next to Rongbu Temple, but the conditions are very simple, and if you want to visit this kind of place, you have to overcome many difficulties.

Cheng Tianle didn't come to climb Mount Everest, but since he came here, he naturally wanted to see the appearance of the world's highest peak. The Everest Base Camp is located at the foot of Mount Everest, which is the limit of the reach of ordinary tourists who do not carry mountaineering equipment, and is about 20 kilometers away from the summit of Mount Everest, where you can see Mount Everest and the glaciers on the snow-capped mountains clearly.

Early the next morning, Cheng Tianle first walked into Rongbu Temple, the highest temple in the world, but there were no names, and there were not even many tourists. The people who come here are all heading for Mount Everest, and there are already too many temples along the way. This is the third temple that Cheng Tianle walked into this time, and it is also the smallest and tallest one.

Rongbu Temple is also a building complex built on the mountain, roughly divided into five floors, like a small village, in fact, Cheng Tianle lived in the guest room of Rongbu Temple last night. Once the only place at the foot of Mount Everest that could provide accommodation, a hotel has now been built near the Rongbu Temple, and there is a tent area a few kilometres ahead.

When Cheng Tianle entered the temple, it was still very early, the pagoda, the white wall, and the prayer flags were all revealing the chill on the plateau, and Cheng Tianle entered the temple's hidden gate and turned around for a long time without seeing the monks. It wasn't until he climbed the wooden staircase to the main hall that he saw a monk and a nun, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zi Hao said secretly: "This temple is interesting, it is actually a mix of monks and nuns!" ”

Cheng Tianle stepped forward to say hello, worshiped the ancestor of the temple and took out the incense money, and the monk smiled.

Under the guidance of a monk and a nun, Cheng Tianle walked out of the main hall and turned south along the stone steps to a small platform with a wooden staircase in front of it. There are many buildings around, but the monks and nuns specially led him here to pay homage. Cheng Tianle climbed the creaking staircase, opened a wooden door, and entered a Buddhist hall built against the mountain. The curtain hung low, blocking the head of the Buddha statue, and it was impossible to see who was worshipped.
