Chapter 147: Zumba Living Buddha
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 fragrance hit him, and he could see it clearly with his naked eyes, it was a temple.
Despite passing by the temple many times. In the previous life or this life, Wushan did not observe it carefully.
If there is a Zen bell ringing. Herdsmen come and go to worship incense, and lamas sweep the floor with brooms in front of the temple gates. Yiqiē looks so harmonious, making 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 typical European buildings that look like yurts but are designed as Gothic buildings but are white in color and protruding like lightning rods on the roofs.
In the square in front of the temple, a large pile of gray doves flew around. Don't be 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. became the basis of consciousness for 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 in the court, the Taoist priest who decides on matters related to religious ceremonies and ceremonies will gradually push the ceremony to its peak.
The Taoist priest became the chief priest of the state, and he decided when and where the Khan's camp was to be moved and set up in tents, not the wedding date of the Khan's family members.
He also elected the Khan's heir. Even decide the question 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, Möngke Khan and the royal family practiced shamanism. He also worships Muslims, Christians, Taoist disciples and Buddhist monks, and personally participates in various religious ceremonies.
The same policy was adopted during the Yuan Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, the activities of Muslims in building temples spread all over the country. Christianity is also valued and protected.
The national teacher, Phags-pa, gave empowerment to Kublai Khan, his queen, princes, and many others.
Buddhism replaced shamanism in the court. But the influence of Buddhism was limited to the upper Mongolian ruling class, and the Mongols remained mostly shamanic.
Second half of the 16th century. Alatan Khan of the Mongol Tumut tribe welcomed Tsongkhapa's Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism.
In 1578, Alatan Khan and the Dalai Lama III Sonam Gyatso met at Yanghua Monastery in Qinghai and held a puja.
At the puja, Sonam Gyatso was canonized by Alatan Khan as the Dalai Lama, and the title of Dalai Lama was born.
After that, with the support and promotion of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tibetan Buddhism flourished in Mongolia.
However, shamanism has survived in the eastern region in the form of sacrifices, divination, and healing activities.
Under the initiative of the Qing government, the whole region of Mongolia built monasteries, carved Buddha statues, painted murals, cast statues of gods, and various metal crafts developed.
The religious atmosphere was all the rage, and Lamaism became a force in Mongolia that paralyzed the people and tamed them.
What is shamanism, Wushan is now a bit cloudy, although he has also met some shamans.
But these lamas who wear half their sleeves are not very unfamiliar.
In my last life, when I was studying in Rongcheng, there were many Tibetans there, and in their gathering places, were there lamas?
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 English spelling, on the other hand, is the word Ganden, which translates into Chinese. It is estimated that he does not recognize it either, and he does not know much about Mongolia.
“Hi。” A Westerner held up the camera in his hand and shook it at Wushan: "Ccan." you,take,some,pictures,for,us,please? ”
Seeing that he was silent, the man prayed again, asking him to take pictures of the pigeons behind him.
It's not because he didn't understand what the foreigner said. The point is that the pronunciation is definitely 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.
In China, the ticket price for foreigners is twice that of Chinese. Even after joining the GATT, it is the same.
“Sure!” Wu Shan was just a little stunned, took the camera, and shouted at him: "Gee! ”
The foreigner patted his head. It dawned on him: "Gee! ”
A smirking Sam man, baring snow-white teeth, holding a V-shape in his right hand. The end of a finger happens to be in the shot, with a pigeon's foot spreading its wings.
I took a few more photos and waved at him. Wushan continued to walk towards the source that he had first felt.
Despite his tall stature, it is in the eyes of some Westerners. It's 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 independent courtyard, and the muffled sound of chanting came from the half-open door.
However, he is confident in his judgment, and the source is in this small room.
Even if you don't believe in religion, it's rude to interrupt someone else's chanting, and you can only listen patiently to him quickly finish it.
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.
"Do you know this person?" Zumba pointed to the golden body in the idol: "His surname is Ning, and he used to be the marshal of your country. ”
Ning Shuai? Wushan was taken aback.
It is said that the Communists do not believe in ghosts and gods, and he really 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.
He let out his senses, and there were no creatures in the room except for himself and the great monk.
Gazing at the golden body again, there was nothing deliberate.
This qiē made Wushan puzzled. (To be continued......)
