I said, "We came from the Han Land, and we really don't know what the Dome Silver City is. ”

Bian Ba chewed on the dried beef and said, "That's a long way to say." Thousands of years ago, Ali was originally called Zhangxiong, and it is said that one day a Dapeng bird landed in a flower-filled place called Kayu in Zhangxiong, stayed for a while, flew back into the air, and finally landed on the top of the mountain of Chari Zudan, turned into a child prodigy, and met with the daughter of the heavenly realm, Karamodu, on the top of the mountain of Chari Zudan.

A year later, four eggs were born: white, golden, blue, and flower, and four sons hatched from the eggs, representing Bai Qiong, Huang Qiong, Lan Qiong, and Hua Qiong. These four sons were sent to the upper, middle, and lower parts of Zhangxiong as well as the four places of Sigang and Barong as tribal leaders.

This is what the Zhangzhung Dynasty was like in the first place. Later, the Zhangzhung Dynasty unified the 18 kingdoms of Zhangxiong, known as 180,000 tribes, and established the ancient Zhangzhung Kingdom of Weizhen on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Central Asia.

At the height of the Zhangzhung Dynasty, it had a strong military force, a large population, and a vast territory.

You see, we Tibetans now turn to the sacred mountain, worship the holy lake, kowtow to the long head, Salonda, hang colorful prayer flags, pile up stones for offerings, and simmer mulberry; There are also Tibetan, dzi, dancing pots, dancing the flowers, painting murals, etc., which are also handed down from the Zhangzhung period. ”

When I saw Bian Ba talking about the dzi, I asked, "Is this dzi really so magical?" ”

Bian Ba said: "Of course, the dzi is a holy thing!" ”

I asked, "Where is the Silver City?" ”

Bian Ba shook his head and said: "These are all legends that have been passed down from generation to generation, and no one knows whether there is a Qionglong Silver City now." King Li Misha of the Zhangzhung Dynasty married Tsangmeng, the sister of Songtsen Gampo.

However, Tsangmung did not get the joy of Li Mixia in the kingdom of Zhangxiong, so he gave a message to the envoy of his brother Songtsen Gampo at the holy lake of Matra Tso under the holy mountain Kailash.

Zanmong sent 30 pine ear stones to his brother's messenger, suggesting to his brother, "If you dare to hit Li Mixia, take the pine ear stones, if you dare not fight, you will put on a yak's tail like a woman." Sure enough, the agitated Songtsen Gampo led people to destroy the Xiangxiong Kingdom in the second year. ”

Bian Ba is a muralist because he is often exposed to these songs and histories, so it is natural to say that he is a treasure.

I'm afraid that I won't ask too much, so I won't ask more.

Before dawn the next day, Bian Ba packed up and continued to hurry, saying goodbye to Bian Ba, and we also walked to Ali.

The Dome Silver City that Bianba spoke of aroused our strong interest, and I can assure you that the two foreigners, Baynt and Goodmandson, must have been looking for this site as well.

The Qionglong Silver City that Bian Ba said was the capital of the Zhangzhung Dynasty, and that era was more consistent with the era of what we were looking for, and the ancient kingdom of the White Wolf was destroyed by the Zhangzhung Dynasty, and the state religion of the Zhangzhung Dynasty was Bon.

Maybe you can find the Dome Silver City, and there may be some problems that can be solved. However, it seems that this Dome Silver City has disappeared for more than a thousand years, and it is not easy to find this place.

We sat on the horses and we talked about it word by word, and on Tuesday Mao thought that this Qionglong Silver City must be not far from Kailash, after all, their state religion was Bon.

I looked at the map, and it showed that Matretso was in Puran, and it seemed that it was not far from Zada.

It's very likely that these guys will also go up the Shiquan River to find the Qionglong Silver City.

I looked at the map and said, "According to what Benba and Berentt described, we searched at Martritso to see if we could find any clues." ”

Li Long said: "Tibetans have people turning the mountain in Kailash every day, haven't they seen the Dome Silver City? ”

I said, "Not necessarily, maybe as Bian Ba said, the Tibetan army might have sacked this Qionglong Silver City and then burned it down?" ”

Over the next few days, we could see a little bit of people in the wasteland, and we knew that this place should be closer to Ali.

After two days, there was a wetland in front of us, no one thought that there would be a wetland here, and there were fish in the wetland, we made simple fishing tackle, fished in the wetland, and even got a few big fish, and we were also happy.

But for the next few days, the altitude continued to rise, the speed of travel slowed down faster than expected, and the wind was terrifyingly strong, and the wind was the only sound in the moor. Often throughout the day, the wind blows in my ears.

We are not going to go to the Shiquan River this time, but are thinking about the direction of Tachin. The altitude here is already very high, and it is already quite difficult for us to breathe, but fortunately, we have been on the plateau during this time, and we can generally adapt a little.

We rested for the day in that little village called Tachin, and then the next day we were ready to go to Maritso.

In Tibetan, it means lake. This Martra is located between a snow-capped mountain, the clear lake water and the blue sky, and the white clouds and snow peaks are reflected in it, quiet and magnificent.

Tibetans say that this is a holy lake, and there are many hot springs around, and there are many cow skulls and horns engraved with the six-character mantra left by the lake from some unknown age.

There are also various monasteries of different sects of Tibetan Buddhism scattered around the lake, which is a beautiful sight, but we have no intention of viewing it. At this time, it was also late autumn and early winter, and there were relatively few Tibetans who came to Zhuan Mountain, so we searched all the way by the lake, and the legend was that we heard one after another, but we did not get anything valuable.

One lama told us that the lake was once where the dragon king lived, and that Guru Padmasambhava later subdued the dragon king and converted them to Buddhism and became the four protectors of Tibetan Buddhism.

In this lake, it is said that there are countless gold, silver and jewelry, but when we look at the surface of this lake that is not tens of meters deep, we can only look at the lake and sigh.

After a week around the lake, we did not gain anything, and we could not help but be a little disappointed.

The lamas by the lake thought we were Buddhists and taught us how to kowtow and so on.

I asked a lama, "Is there any other sacred lake here?" ”

The lama shook his head and said, "This is already the best sacred lake. You go around the lake here, wash away the five poisons on your body, and then you can go to Kailash and turn the mountain. ”

I said, "Then there are no lakes around here?" ”

The lama thought for a moment and said, "There is a way, but that lake is called the Ghost Lake, and you will pass through it on your way to Kailash." But there is no need to go there, it is the main gathering place of the Rakshasa King. You see, in summer, this "holy lake" is full of flowers and plants, and it is full of life, but there is no grass on the side of the ghost lake, and there are no livestock to go to the lake, and it is lifeless.

There is no wind and waves, and the lake is surrounded by that dark red hill with strange colors, and there is a dark red island in the lake, which is said to be the Rakshasa Castle! ”

I chuckled in my heart, isn't this the same rumor as the lake behind the Grand Canyon in Kangzang!

I pretended to be a little scared and said, "Naturally, I won't go." It's better for us to hurry up and turn the mountain. ”

On this day, we stayed in the lama monastery by the lake for one night, and the next day we decided to go to the ghost lake.

Compared with the Tibetan aunts who are around the lake and the lamas who shuttle on the grassland, the ghost lake is indeed inaccessible, and from a distance, Liao is uninhabited.

The lake was surrounded by blood-red mountains, and the surface of the lake was also black and oppressive, and it was shrouded in a strange mist. It's just that there is indeed a dark red island in the lake, and when you look through the telescope, you can see that the island is also desolate.

And to the north of the lake, the majestic Mount Kailash, which is revered as the place of the gods and the center of the world, has appeared in the distance.

We searched for a long time by the lake, but we did not find any good wood to make a raft, so we had to walk a long way, ran to the mountains and dismantled a sheepfold, and pieced together a relatively small raft, and the seven big men could only reach the island in the center of the lake in a few times.

By the time we all came up to the island, it was already afternoon, and the island was not very big, and there was not a temple in the middle of the island like the one in Kangdi.

It is estimated that when Bon was suppressed more severely here, it was not as relaxed as the atmosphere of Kangdi.

When we landed on the west side of the island, we saw that the island was bare, and there was not even a trace of human beings.

I don't think it's a little strange, isn't this the place we're looking for?

And the island is all dark red, which looks exactly the same color as the blood after it has dried, and it feels a little weird.

We climbed to the top of the island, only to see that there was nothing special around the island, and on Tuesday Mao scolded: "Hidden, hidden, these secret spell masters are embarrassing those juniors?" How the can you find it! ”

I smiled and said, "Since it's hidden, I must be looking for someone destined to find out." ”

When I walked to the river, I saw that the water was also clear and transparent, and there was no shadow of ghosts. I don't know if it's really a story that the Bon mantra deliberately made up to prevent the secret from being leaked.
