"You think I'm playful? I actually wanted to go to the thousand-year-old cave temple, which is the 'hidden holy place'. An old living Buddha who practiced ascetic witnessed my father taking down the Dzi and giving it to my pregnant mother, and it is said that he also recited a mantra. The old living Buddha seems to know the 'Dharma Eye Dzi', knows its extraordinary, and says that it is an alien object, and it is something that originally belonged to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. So, if you want to know its past and present life, you have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Anyway, we can't go now, so it's better to complete this task. ”

"Haha, Xiao Chen, I find that you can also become clever when you want to achieve your goal. Twenty-eight years have passed, is the old living Buddha still there? Lee Kwang-han asked.

"I don't know if the old living Buddha is still alive, but it is a 'hidden holy place', and there are many eminent monks who practice penance there. I heard my mother say that there are many cultivation caves on the cliffs full of mountains, all of which have existed for thousands of years. Maybe we'll find some mural statues or something, maybe the old living Buddha will pass on the classic charms and other things to his disciples, buried in the depths of his disciples' consciousness, waiting for us to open them. It's like lighting a firecracker filled with gunpowder, all you need is a match to shine brightly, and that will solve a problem you've been thinking about for a long time. Chen Aili said with her eyebrows fluttering.

"Phew! It's that simple. Are there still fewer unforeseen circumstances that we have encountered along the way? Your top priority now is to recuperate from your injuries, and if your body has not recovered well, don't think about visiting your relatives' hometowns, as the old wounds on your bones are the most difficult to heal. Let's fix it for two days, and let's go back to the big camp as soon as possible. Li Guanghan felt that Chen Aili was too eager to pour cold water on her.

Chen Aili didn't expect Li Guanghan to be unmoved, as if the reason she had just laid out was not attractive enough. She brushed the blonde curls from her forehead with her right hand, though straight black hair had grown near her scalp, and pondered steadily.

After a while, Chen Aili sighed and said slowly: "Actually, the deepest doubt is here. Why do I have a 'Dharma Eye Dzi'? - from my father - where did my father get it? House Hecate or House Emmons? Why did he wear it back to the Tibetan Plateau? Is it because you love mountaineering and adventure? ”

"He didn't stay with my mother for a long time in Naining County, how could he know the old living Buddha of the cave temple? Could it be that he had visited the Old Living Buddha when he was in the area under the de facto control of the South Asian country? That shows that there is a hidden cross-border path next to the cave temple on this border line, allowing him to come and go freely without being discovered by the border patrols. But how did my father know about this secret path? What does he have to do with the expedition of old Emmons and old Hecate into Tibet? ”

When Li Guanghan heard this, his mouth opened wide, thinking that Chen Aili had returned to her professional thinking mode.

"Do you remember when George sent Liu Weijiang and Wei Jiajun to Beijing to investigate my mother? They must have thought of something. Chen Aili said as she looked at Li Guanghan seriously.

"yes, I think of something, too." Li Guanghan nodded, neither of them broke it.

"Do you think that going to the Cave Temple will allow you to find more valuable clues about the 'Dharma Eye Dzi'?"

"Yes. Moreover, it was the last place where my parents got together to make a vow, and when they came down the mountain, they were in distress, and since then they have been separated by yin and yang. Chen Aili's eyes were red and moist.

"Okay, let's go." Li Guanghan said and patted his legs, which were not flexible.

109,000-year-old cave temple

Two days later, although Chen Aili was wearing a bandage on her left hand and a plaster cast, the rest of her body was back to normal. Li Guanghan's ankle has become swollen, and it is no problem to walk on flat ground, but he can't bear the force, and he will definitely not be able to support the trekking through mountains and rivers. But he didn't say anything, he asked the doctor to apply him a thick layer of Tibetan medicine for bruises, and then wrapped it tightly around it with a bandage, "Well, it's okay." ”

The honest Sanji hugged the guqin and asked, "Do you want to take this with you too?" ”

"Take it, I'll carry it, this is a cultural relic after all, I don't feel at ease when I put it here. We borrowed two hospital quilt covers and used them as piano covers. Lee Kwang Han said.

The sky was overcast and windy, as if it was about to rain. Along the way, Sanchi introduced the high Tulin castles on both sides of the road, as well as the snow-capped mountains where the gods lived in the distance, each with its own name and story, with a strong sense of mystery.

Li Guanghan stared at these snow-capped mountains, the tops of which were hidden in the clouds, and did not show his true face. He sighed with great imagination to depict these vivid and interesting stories. At this time, he remembered a poem: You stare into the abyss, and the abyss is staring at you. "Ah, at this moment, the snow-capped mountains are also staring at us."

There are also many devout pilgrims on the side of the highway, who take three steps and bow at a time, prostrate on the ground when they bow, and face the wind when they get up and stride, with no distractions and strong will.

The off-road vehicle circled up the winding road, turned a mountain pass, and the blue waves were dazzling, like an emerald set between the mountains. There are several dark clouds floating over the west side of the valley, with a strong three-dimensional sense and a great tendency to come with mountain rain. As cold and ethereal as a fairyland in front of him, Li Guanghan sighed that it is no wonder that people have so many associations.

All the way down to the lake, several prayer flags and countless mani piles come into view, leaving traces of pilgrims at what seems to be the end of the world.

There is no road any further. Li Guanghan got out of the car and walked towards the lake, the clear green water washed the small stones on the shore, and he felt even more silent when he heard the sound of the water.

Sanchi pointed to the west and said, "Climb the hill and climb over the ridge."

The three men stepped on the rocks and leaned on trekking poles, slowly climbing upwards. Standing on the ridge, large clouds hung overhead, thin rains drifted out, and visibility was only a few hundred meters away.

Li Guanghan simply closed his eyes and felt the seclusion. When he opened his eyes again, the clouds and fog cleared, and he looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and suddenly found that the cultivation holes built on the layers of mountain cliffs that had repeatedly appeared in his illusions or dreams were in front of him, and they existed in real reality. But he's never been here.

Sanji and Chen Aili said at the same time: "There should be a cave temple in the distance." ”

The cave temple that has stood on the cliff mountain stone for thousands of years is arrogant, desolate and cold, "this is called peerless and independent, and it makes people look up." Li Guanghan sighed, he faintly felt that his head was buzzing, as if he had resonated with something.

Chen Aili looked at the steep mountain shape and the abrupt rocks, and really admired her mother, how she climbed up with a big belly.
