Chapter 147: An Old Lama Named Zumba

ps: Originally, I was going to overturn the case for the one who died on the plane, but it was blocked by the editor, so I had to modify it slightly, which is a bit inexplicable. I don't have any tricks, so I can't change all the chapters that follow.

To say that Wushan's character has always been brave and diligent, and it is better to take it directly than to get it in the song.

However, even a cultivator like Qing Fengzi is secretive about ghosts and spirits, and he asks others to retreat, because he is afraid of causing unnecessary losses, so he still goes to find out by himself.

And what even he can feel creepy about must be related to this aspect of things.

According to Qing Fengzi, there are two levels in the Yanhuang cultivation world on the way to cultivation, the first is to transform from acquired to ingenital, and the second is Jindan.

Listening to his tone, these are the two most basic difficulties, one is that people discharge the dirt from their bodies, so that anytime, anywhere, as long as their minds move, they can absorb the free Qi between heaven and earth for cultivation.

The second way is to use itself as a container to store the absorbed Qi in the body, causing qualitative changes from quantitative changes.

After the cultivator reaches the innate level, his qi and blood are vigorous, and he can't get close to the things that are idle and evil.

If Wushan's current state has reached the Jindan stage, it is the so-called epiphany.

It's an inexplicable thing, and if you are enlightened, you will be enlightened, otherwise you will be stuck there for the rest of your life.

In other words, it is possible that he will become a golden pill tomorrow, or he may always be stuck at this node for the rest of his life, maintaining his innate peak until he is old.

As the so-called brave are fearless, Wushan brazenly stepped on the wind and flew straight towards the place where he sensed.

It's strange that the feeling just now just shook and there was no trace of it, but he believed in his spiritual sense.

A wisp of sandalwood scent hits. He could see it with the naked eye, it was a temple.

Although I passed by the temple many times, my previous life was still this life. Wushan has not been carefully observed.

If the Zen bell rings, the herdsmen come and go to worship incense. There are also lamas sweeping the floor with a broom in front of the temple gate, everything seems so harmonious, which makes people's hearts calm down instantly.

No matter how you look at it, the architectural style of this temple is somewhat nondescript.

The two stone lions at the door are the masterpieces of the Han nationality at a glance.

In addition to such Chinese buildings, there are also some that look like yurts but are designed as Gothic buildings but are white in color and protruding from the roofs like lightning rods. Typical European style architecture.

In the square in front of the temple, a large number of gray doves flew around, and they were not afraid to see people coming.

Among the tourists, there are actually many blonde and blue-eyed ones, who are Westerners at first glance.

The Mongols consider the blue wolf and the white deer to be their ancestors.

The reason why the wolf and the deer were chosen as the totems of their own people is that we can analyze that this is inseparable from the environment in which their ancestors lived.

Because wolves and deer live in the mountains, forests and grasslands. Since they are totems, the blue wolf and the white deer are revered as gods by the Mongols, and at the same time they are endowed with mysterious and beautiful legends.

Before Genghis Khan established the Mongol Khanate, the dominant religion in Mongolia was shamanism.

Shamanism is the ancient primitive religion of the Mongolian people. It was a major part of the spiritual life of the Mongols in the 16th century. Shamanism worships a variety of nature and ancestral deities.

Genghis Khan practiced shamanism and worshipped the "Immortal Heaven". Until the Yuan Dynasty. Shamanism was dominant in Mongolian society and became the basis of consciousness for the feudal rulers.

The blind worship of the eternal blue sky, which was the sacred source of Genghis Khan's rule, played a major role in making it the official state religion of the early years of the unified Mongol kingdom.

Among the many shamanic priests gathered at the court, the leading priest, who decides everything related to religious ceremonies and ceremonies, will gradually push the ceremony to a climax.

The head of the Taoist priest became the chief priest of a kind of state. He decided when and where the Khan's camp was to be moved and set up in tents, not the time of the Khan's wedding.

He also elected the Khan's heir and even decided on issues of war or peace.

It has an important influence on the Mongolian royal family, princes and nobles and the people. When the royal family worships the ancestors, worships the temple, and the emperor is lucky enough to go to the capital, the shamanism presides over the sacrifice.

Genghis Khan and his successors adopted an eclectic policy towards various religions.

Popular religions are Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Christianity, Shamanism, etc.

During the time of Möngke Khan, in addition to shamanism, Möngke Khan and his royal family also supported Muslims, Christians, Taoist disciples and Buddhist monks, and personally participated in various religious ceremonies.

The same policy was adopted during the Yuan Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, the temple building activities of Muslims spread all over the country, and Christianity was also valued and protected.

The national teacher, Phags-pa, gave empowerment to Kublai Khan, his queen, princes, and many others.

Obviously, there is no trace of shamanism anymore. It is estimated that there are still sporadic people in the mountains and fields who believe in shamans.

This temple is a Lamaist temple.

This is the largest temple in Ulaanbaatar, Ganden Monastery.

Wushan himself does not like to visit the temples of monks. The religious places I visited the most in my two lifetimes were the various temples of Taoism.

In Tibetan province there is a Ganden monastery, and there is also one here. After all, lamas come from there.

Although the Ganden Monastery as a whole is not very large, the Dugong is indeed very large, larger than the six Dugongs in Wudangzhao! Even though there is only one Dugong here,

In my last life, when I was studying in Rongcheng, there were many Tibetans there, and in their gathering places, were there lamas?

Therefore, Wushan has no feelings for lamas, but thinks that wearing a dark red dress feels weird.

On the top of the temple, there is a golden temple name, but he doesn't know much Mongolian, so he doesn't know what it means. The name Gaden Monastery was also told to him later by the entourage.

The English spelling is the word, and if translated into Chinese, it is estimated that he does not recognize it, and he does not know much about the culture of the lama.

"Hi," a Westerner held up his camera and shook it at Wushan: "ures, for, us." Plea color? ”

Seeing that he was silent, the man prayed again. Ask him to take a picture of the pigeons behind him.

It's not because he didn't understand what the foreigner said, the key is that the pronunciation must be pure Sam's English.

Mongolia is sandwiched between China and Soviet Russia, and these two countries are not against the Sam, but private tourism is not prohibited.

I believe that if these people go to Soviet Russia, they will definitely be monitored by the KGB 24 hours a day, and if they are not careful, they may evaporate from the world, which is absolute.

And in China. The fare for foreigners is twice that of Chinese, even after joining the GATT.

“sure!” Wu Shan was just a little stunned, took the camera, and shouted at him: "Gee! ”

The foreigner patted his head and suddenly realized: "Gee! ”

A smirking Sam man, showing snow-white teeth, holds a V-shaped in his right hand, and the end of one finger happens to appear in the camera with a pigeon's foot spreading its wings.

A few more photos were taken. Waving his hand at him, Wu Shan continued to walk towards the source he had felt at first.

I have a lot of questions in my mind. In China, after all, it has been more than 10 years since the reform and opening up. Westerners can be seen in many places, even if they come for various purposes.

And when you see Sam here, you have to wonder a little, isn't Mongolia a vassal state of Soviet Russia? When did Soviet Russia allow the Sams to their territory?

Despite his tall stature, even in the eyes of some Westerners, he is also very tall.

But neither the believers, nor the tourists, nor the lamas in the temple, had any unusual eyes on this uninvited guest.

Kindness? Wu Shan thought it was strange, it was a small courtyard, and the muffled sound of chanting came from the half-open door.

However. He was confident in his judgment, and the source was in this small room.

Even if you are not religious. But it would be rude to interrupt someone else's chanting rashly, and only patiently listen to him finish it quickly.

Fortunately. Wushan is not an impetuous person, listening to the sound of chanting, I feel that there is still a trace of charm in it.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound inside finally stopped, and an old voice came out, but I didn't know what it was saying.

"Master, are you calling me?" Wushan pushed the door in.

It is very strange that the monks have six clean roots, and there is no grass on their heads, but the beard is estimated to be four or five inches long, and the old monk is not young.

"I'm sorry, donor, I should have thought that you were Chinese." The monk pronounced a Buddha name.

"What do you call the Great Monk?" Wushan was a little surprised.

In Mongolia, there may be many people who can speak Chinese, but it is a bit intriguing that a monk who can not go out of the door can also speak Chinese.

"Hehe, no one has asked this question in years." The old monk's eyebrows and beard were white, and his face was full of red: "Call me Zumba, I haven't called it for many years." ”

The furnishings in the room are very simple, a shrine with a golden body enshrined in it.

This is not like the idol of other temples, it is a man on horseback, and it is more fashionable, holding a telescope. 、

Other than that, there was nothing else in the room.

"Is it strange?" Zumba smiled: "When I was young, I also traveled to Mongolia Province, and although the two sides are two countries, our language is the same. ”

I guess he learned Chinese at that time.

Soviet Russia was hostile to China and even had troops on the Mongolian border.

And the land bordering Mongolia Province in this country does not have such complex terrain as that of Victoria Province, so it is normal to come and go secretly.

"You don't know this person, do you?" Zumba pointed to the golden body in the statue: "His surname is Ning, and he is a middle-* person." ”

There is nothing strange about the fact that there are many in Mongolia or in Soviet Russia.

It is said that people do not believe in ghosts and gods, and he does not believe in these.

However, over the years, too many people and things have passed, and even a monk like Qingfengzi who has flown into the sky has seen it, and he is barely a monk now.

The soul body has never been in contact.

I believe that after the monks prayed day and night, even an ordinary soul body will grow stronger and stronger, as can be illustrated by the soul fluctuation just now.

He released his senses, and there were no creatures in the room other than himself and the Great Monk.

Gazing at the golden body again, there was nothing deliberate.

All of this made Wu Shan puzzled, what did this monk do with a ghost-like soul perception that attracted him. (To be continued)
