Chapter 188—The Priest's Gift (3)
Heavy rain fell for a day and a night, and the first wave of flood peaks from the northern ice sheet passed through the mouth of the Toli River in a torrential manner.
After being blocked by the water-dividing stone dam, Hao Hao Tang Tang went west.
The torrent that overflows from the top of the stone dam Changlong forms a wide wall of gray-white water on the estuary, which is very spectacular from a distance.
The waterline on the Toli River has just risen to its original position in the dry season, and at this time of the year, the valley is already a vast ocean.
The effect of building stone dams and dividing the water is just as we had anticipated.
The torrential rain completely extinguished all the embers on the Daliluo River, and the mountains and fields were scorched black, and the rising heat continued to melt into the rain curtain.
The ashes left behind by the burning of wheat stubble have become a natural fertilizer for this otherwise barren land.
At this point, I still admire the mysterious Anandu priest, how he was able to pinch the time of the rainstorm so accurately.
As long as the rain arrives half an hour later, the rolling fire dragon will spread to all the villages on the river.
Even his Brahmin temple would have been reduced to nothing in the flames of the wildfires.
But it was at that time that the rain fell from the sky in time, if it were not for the protection of the gods, how could it be such a coincidence?
This is also the reason why the old Kushan people in the river have always been in awe of this Anandu priest!
If you go and ask the priest at this time, he will definitely say that the morning sacrifice has been revealed, and the great god Brahma has revealed that the heavy rain will come today.
But I prefer to believe that this wizard knows a little bit about Feng Shui and celestial phenomena, just like my late grandfather.
He can determine the location of the oasis through the flowing clouds above the desert.
In short, this Romans sect has some mystical arts, which are incomprehensible, so it is better to stay away.
For example, Miss Tian Lu's voodoo technique, the legend of the spirit snake, and the rain that we saw with our own eyes**, it is very human!
The Kushan village community in the nearby village specially vacated the family temple used by their priests.
I also sent a few elders to come over in person and invite all the horses of my caravan to take shelter from the rain.
We are deeply touched by the hearts of these old people.
We and other businessmen are most afraid of the long night of wind and rain and snow, sleeping in the wild without people.
The bonfire could not be lit, and all the bags were soaked in water, and they could only rely on each other's body temperature to survive until dawn.
In such a situation, it is really better to live than to die!
Therefore, there is no one in the car and horse field shop here, although it is only a low and empty stone and wood house without any furnishings, but it is enough!
A roaring wood fire was set up in the midst of the bluestone fire, and our clothes and tents were dried for a long time.
Cook a few pots of ale wine and serve a piece of charred barbecue naan, beautiful!
The Buddha said, one thought of heaven and one thought of hell, but good fortune comes from good fortune.
The day before yesterday, we helped the wheat harvest of the old people of Kushan and formed a good fate.
Tonight's bitter rain, they generously helped us to give us a place to shelter from the wind and rain, which is a blessing and cause and effect.
If we only cared about our own happiness at that time, now we can only drink the wind and eat on the beach of the long river of Toli.
I heard the elders of the tribe say that the rainy season of the Tianzhu countries is to migrate from the south to the north every year.
When the rain line comes to the North Tianzhu area, the rainfall in the southern Buddha countries such as Jiandra and Sinhala will gradually become scarce.
Uncle Su and they also confirmed the elder's statement, my caravan used to be carried out by Gao Zhuguo and Eminem in May and June every year
The river to Fulousha line into the key dra.
The sunny weather and rainy days over there are already comparable, just like the Jiangnan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
In this way, the caravan should take advantage of the gap between the rainy season in the north and hurry south.
So the next morning, when the torrential rain stopped a little, Qin Chong, Duo'er and I hurried to the temple of the Anandu priest again.
With the Kawakami Harvest Fire Festival the day before yesterday, my perception of this priest has changed a little.
This Brahmanical elder, though somewhat grotesque and capricious, seems to have something extraordinary.
The monks guarding the square led us into a tower next to the temple.
The tower is divided into three tiers and is also the tallest building in the entire temple.
The golden roof that I saw in the distance on Mount Vanathor was on top of this tower.
"Gentlemen, please stay, rest here for a while, the priest only invited Mr. Dam God and this young lady to talk!"
A stone-paved staircase led to the top of the tower, and as we were about to climb the stairs, a barefoot girl in a white robe blocked our way.
When I looked closely, it was the maid who was shaking a fan for the priest under the linden tree in the square a few days ago.
Qin Chong and the others had to stay where they were, and Duo'er and I followed behind the maid with doubts, not knowing what kind of tricks this priest was going to play.
"Dam God, hey, hey, hey! No wonder there are so many gods and goddesses enshrined in this Brahmanical religion! Even big brother, you are now a god! Is it under the jurisdiction of their god Brahma, or is it Lord Shiva? ”
Duo'er walked beside me, remembering the title of "Dam God", and looked at me and couldn't help but roar and chuckle.
"Don't laugh at me, Duo'er!"
I said impatiently, this girl doesn't choose a time to tell jokes.
"Brahma is the creator god in Brahmanism and is the deity of all gods. Brother, you must be in his hands! ”
As we spoke, my brother and sister had reached the top floor of the tower, and we were amazed by what we saw.
But I saw the Anandu priest sitting on a large kapok futon, meditating.
Next to him, a wheat field deer dressed in a gray linen summer skirt and barefoot was holding a brown pillar-shaped pottery rope.
Hehuan** is burning quietly in the pottery, and the green smoke curls up everywhere to exude a drowsy fragrance.
Since the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after Dr. Zhang Qian went out of the green mountains in the west, this spice and tree species called "Hehuan" were transmitted from Tianzhu to our Western Regions and the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Ji Kang of the Three Kingdoms said: Acacia is angry, and daylilies forget their worries.
It means that the fragrance of acacia can dispel resentment, and daylilies can make people forget sorrow.
Since then, there has been a widely spread flower language of "Hehuan Anger".
Acacia incense has been passed on to Middle-earth for more than 200 years, and it is also one of the Buddha incense that we burn in various monasteries in Khotan all year round.
So as soon as I got upstairs and smelled this fragrance, Duo'er and I knew that it was a acacia!
When Miss Tian Lu saw us coming up, she bowed to us with a smile, her face like peach blossoms.
The suffering Miss Tian Lu we saw in the bunker in the square a few days ago is almost like two people.
The former is a zombie, while the latter is like a fairy.
"Dear Dam God, you are finally here! I've been waiting for Mr. here listening to the sound of the river for a long time! ”
As if he had just woken up from a deep sleep, Priest Anandu slowly stood up and bowed to me reverently.
With the first experience, although I was very uncomfortable, I did not retreat, but expressed my reverence to him with a long bow from the Han Kingdom of the East.
"Of the Great River
The water has passed through my Daliluo River safely, and the dam-building work of the master has also been recorded by Lord Brahma. He asked me to fulfill my promise and give my husband two great gifts! ”
When the priest said this, he pulled me from God to the position of mortal.
"Lord Priest, we merchants walk on the rivers and lakes, and all the good karma is our own practice, and we have never thought of asking for rewards. Now that your Excellency has forgiven Miss Tian Lu's sins, let her continue to stay with you! It's really inconvenient to bring a woman from a foreign country with you on the business road, and my guys also have a lot of complaints! ”
Seeing that Priest Anandu seemed to have reconciled with Miss Tian Lu, although I was reluctant, I still politely excused myself.
And when Duo'er translated what I said, she could see that Miss Tian Lu's originally smiling face instantly dimmed.
"Mr. Messenger, the death penalty of the Tianlu maid can be avoided, but there is no place for Dali Luochuan, and this is also the will of the gods!" The Anandu priest clasped his hands together and said the right way.
For this priest, the beautiful woman was far less than his supreme authority to "speak for the gods".
This is also the rationality of his ability to become a prince in this Tuoli tribe, and the law of the ancestors cannot be broken! The will of the gods cannot be violated!
Miss Tian Lu violated her agreement with the god of all mountains, and did not willingly sacrifice herself to fulfill the "female sacrifice" method, so there is no reason to secretly give birth here.
"Alright then, today is to welcome Miss Tian Lu. Wheat field deer, come with us! ”
I opened my arms to Miss Tian Lu like a father and brother, and the woman burst into tears, still holding the incense burner and bowing deeply to me.
"Lord Brahma has ordered me to pass on the last gift to my husband! Tianlu maid, burn incense and serve! ”
When he had finished speaking, the priest of Anandu took me by the hem of my garment and led me to his futon.
"The Flower of Forgetting Worries is the ladder for our secular people to enter the Void Sanctuary and talk to the gods, Mr. is now among my gods, in accordance with the will of the great god Brahma, let me take Mr. away!"
After saying that, the priest sat cross-legged and folded his hands and entered a state of meditation.
I had heard from Miss Tian Lu about the magic of this incense, and the priest's kindness was not easy to shirk, so I sat down as he did.
I am ready to use the "meditation technique" taught to me by Master Huang Gang back then to welcome the Void Sanctuary of this Brahmin sect.
"Miss, let's go down, the priest's meditation is not allowed to be disturbed by outsiders."
The waitress who led us up saluted and whispered to Doer.
Duo'er looked at me and Priest Anandu with a little trepidation, for fear that this Rohman wizard would also secretly cast a "voodoo cup" or something like "voodoo cup" on me.
After I waved her gently to let her go, the girl turned around and followed the young maid downstairs.
But Miss Tian Lu knelt lightly opposite us, put down the pottery incense burner, took out a few wild fruits like silkworm cocoons from the small rattan basket next to her, and threw them into the burning acacia**.
Then the woman gently shook the fan, and about half a cup of tea, a cloud of white smoke rose from the furnace.
A breath that had never been smelled came to the nose, from light to thick, and finally completely covered the ** of the acacia.
And I have woken up from the illusion of meditation and into the void that I have never seen before.
In addition to the palace of the gods, the freedom of infinite expansion
There is also a wheat field deer with a light shirt, stepping on the feather cloud and walking towards me.
From then on, I was completely depraved.
The sea of bitterness seems to be boundless, and the paradise of forgetting worries is always only on the other side.
