Chapter 436: Lotus Sea
I carefully observe the whole back mountain, this mountain is like a blooming lotus, in fact, Tibet is very particular about feng shui, it is said that when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she found that the terrain of the snowy plateau resembles a Rakshasa witch lying on her back, and this terrain has a very terrible name in feng shui, called "witch drying corpse".
In order to suppress the evil spirit of the witch, Princess Wencheng established the famous twelve temples of demon suppression in twelve places. The reason is also very simple, any region is inseparable from the three key factors of heaven, earth and man, and Feng Shui precisely covers the relationship between heaven and earth.
This back mountain is shaped like a lotus flower, and guarding the demons must be the result of the careful deployment of the masters back then.
We stood in front of the mountain, and then crossed a hill to get there, standing on the edge of a deep cliff, looking up at the opposite mountain, none of the three of us spoke, just watched quietly.
In the distance, the snow-capped mountains were covered with clouds, the wind blew clouds, and the whole valley emitted a muffled sound of air flowing.
I looked at Li Qiangmin, and then looked at Gyatso beside me, in the vast and great natural space, we human beings feel quite small, and a cultivator as strong as Li Qiangmin is not worth mentioning in front of such a heaven and earth mountain.
For a long time, Li Qiangmin sighed. I asked, Lao Li, why did you sigh once?
Li Qiangmin said: "Legend has it that the earliest cultivators were inspired by the greatness of heaven and earth, and only then did they have the heart of enlightenment. Standing here now, I suddenly realize how small I am. Lin Cong, now you can understand why I want to challenge fate. ”
"I also seem to feel the fate you are talking about here," I said, "it is ethereal, but it is real, hidden between the mountains and the earth, and throughout everyone's life, everyone can experience it, but there is nothing to do with it." ”
"Fate is cause and effect." Li Qiangmin said: "Cause and effect is the universal law that transcends all dimensions and all time and space. ”
Gyatso suddenly said: "Cause and effect are not the greatest law. ”
Li Qiangmin was shocked and looked back at him: "Little monk, you are a monk who has entered the temple to practice, and the basis of your entire sect is the theory of cause and effect, you actually said so." ”
Gatso thought for a moment and said, "It is better to believe in a book than to have no book. ”
"Yo-hee." Li Qiangmin became interested: "Then you can tell me, because since it is not the greatest law, what is it?" ”
Gatso shook his head: "I don't know either. His Chinese ability was limited, and he said slowly: "Cause and effect may only be a structure in the laws of the universe, a phase, and it is the shadow of a huge rule projected under the human cognitive system." Well, yes, just a shadow. ”
Li Qiangmin pondered for a long time and did not speak.
Gyatso said: "As long as we are born as human beings and have five senses and six senses, it is impossible for us to get rid of cause and effect, which is an obstacle. ”
Li Qiangmin was shocked again, and muttered: "If you want to get rid of fate, you must first get rid of the premise of being a human being?" ”
Gyatso shook his head, not knowing whether he didn't know or disagreed.
I said next to me: "Lao Li, if the knife does not exist, the blade remains." ”
Li Qiangmin looked at me.
"Fate is like a blade to a knife," I gestured: "I think so, I don't know if it's right, it's a kind of throwing bricks and talking about it." If people are gone, they can't talk about fate, but getting rid of fate like this makes no sense, because you can't recognize it from a human perspective. You're trying to figure it out and get rid of it, and if it's empty, it doesn't make any sense. I don't know if you can understand that. ”
Li Qiangmin touched his chin: "Forget it, let's discuss here with Xuan, let's go, time is limited, we must come back within three days, hurry up." ”
The three of us came down from the mountain, and Gatso led the way in front, all the way down, over the hill, and finally came to the Lotus Cultivation Mountain.
At this time, it was getting dark, I took out three flashlights from my bag, one of them held one, and Li Qiangmin did not refuse. We flashlights and walked through the mountains. The night on the mountain is thick, the sight is extremely poor, and there is a strong mountain fog, if there is no Gatso to lead the way, you may soon get lost in the mountain.
According to the itinerary, from the temple to the back mountain, you have to walk for most of the day, and you have to go back, and this next day has to be excluded. Now there are two days left in the full battle, and it is estimated that there will be no sleep for these two days, and the army must march in a hurry.
Halfway up the mountain, I was tired, tired, hungry and thirsty, and beckoned them both to rest. The food brought was distributed, and everyone was barely satisfied. After resting for a while, Li Qiangmin urged him to set off, turned along the mountain road, and finally came to the cultivation cave.
Some of these cultivation holes are artificially excavated, some are naturally formed, at first glance, they are shaped like honeycombs, the big holes are next to the small holes, and the flashlight sweeps past, and the places as far as the eye can see are unknown. There is no artificial plank road between these cultivation caves, you must climb over, and as for how to climb, there must be a hidden route. When I looked at it, I was a little awe-inspiring, why, almost every hole has its own route, and it is not repeated.
Some holes have to be walked along the rocks, and some holes have to climb up the rocks first, and then slowly climb down...... It's like a big puzzle game, where you have to calculate a specific route to get into a specific hole.
I was amazed.
Gyatso wiped his sweat, pointed to the cliff far away and said, "Where are we going?" There is a lotus crack in the entire mountain, and it is said that there is a natural chasm that leads to the depths of the mountain. ”
"Lotus sewing?" I wondered.
Gatso nodded: "This is a geological wonder, a crack in the mountain out of thin air, and it is said that it was left by Master Padmasambhava thousands of years ago when he suppressed demons. You'll find out what the situation is. ”
Li Qiangmin and I followed him, climbed up the mountain road, and then walked sideways on the rocks. The edge of our footing can barely accommodate two feet, and next to it is Shenya. The wind was very strong at night, blowing and swaying, in this case it was already barely enough to maintain balance, not to mention the lighting, I put the flashlight in my pocket in a very difficult position, holding the stone with both hands, and rubbing behind them step by step, trying not to fall behind.
The whole process is quite arduous, the cliff is steep, the strong wind is blowing wildly, look down, Hesse Sen is unfathomable, I am thinking, thousands of years of practice, such a road is difficult to protect from falling to death one or two people, I don't know how many bones there are under this cliff.
After walking to the end, my feet were paralyzed, and when I reached the limit, I saw Gyatso in front of me climbing into an artificial stone wall, it should have arrived, I followed behind Li Qiangmin, and also turned over. When my feet hit the ground, I sat on the ground, almost fainted, it was a hellish experience, and I finally got through it.
Gatso came and helped me up and told me not to sit on the ground and rest no matter how tired I was.
At this time, I had the energy to take a good look around, this should be the largest one in the group of caves, in front of me is a cross-section of a large cave, near the cliff there is a high artificial stone wall, as a simple protection, look inside, the deep cave has no bottom, I don't know where it leads.
The most terrifying thing here is the sound, the deep part of the cave blows a strong wind, blowing on the body does not feel good, that is, the wind through the cave, through countless holes, but also because of the special geological structure of the whole cave trumpet, when the wind blows out, it has become some kind of ghost crying wolf howl, as if there are a lot of miserable souls gathered together crying, the sound is so poignant, it makes people creepy, and the hairs all over the body stand up.
"There is a practice in this place?" I asked Gatso.
I deeply doubt the question, what kind of cultivator can settle down in this ghost place, and the sound of non-stop all the time can drive people crazy.
"This is the deepest cave in the cultivation cave," Gyatso said, "Ordinary monks don't come here, and the people who can practice in this cave are usually eminent monks and great masters." There is a crack that leads to the ground from this hole, and it is from here that Li Damin and Banai entered in the first place. ”
Li Qiangmin became short of breath, and his gaze swept across the entire cave section: "I can feel Li Damin's existence." Here he is! ”
"Is he dead or not?" I asked nervously.
Li Qiangmin shook his head, his eyes fixed on the depths of the cave: "He's not dead, he's still there." ”
Gatso asked us if we needed to rest, and I saw that these two people were eager to try, and they were too embarrassed to rest by themselves, so they had to say that they would continue to move on.
Gyatso led the way in front, Li Qiangmin and I followed, and we began to march deeper into the cave. The further I went, the louder the sound became, and I stumbled, and I felt my blood surge, and the nausea in my stomach was like vomiting.
I was about to faint while walking, I didn't know it in front of Gatso, and continued to lead the way, Li Qiangmin heard that something was wrong, and came over to help me. said that Lin Cong couldn't do it.
Gyatso turned back and gestured with his hand in front of me, and I was very uncomfortable now, I just couldn't open my eyes, I felt my ears buzzing, and my brain was a mess.
In a daze, I heard Gatso say, "He can't enter the cave at all in this situation." ”
Li Qiangmin said and helped him up.
I was dizzy and was helped up, and suddenly I felt a strong force covering the top of my head, and I barely opened my eyes to see that it was Li Qiangmin who was empowering me, and a stream of true qi poured in from the top of my head, and my eyes gradually became clear, and the dizzy energy was slowly dissipating.
Li Qiangmin was a little gasped, and he took a breath of cold air: "No, if you go on like this, you won't be able to hold on to the end." ”
