Chapter 61: Secret Techniques
"What did you say?" Lao Wang didn't understand Xiao Mao's words: "What living Buddha? ”
"The Living Buddha of East Khor IV, who lives in Gyatso." Xiao Mao said: "He is the reincarnation of the living Buddha Gawa Gyatso of Dongkor III. ”
Xiao Mao told us that although the old Tibetan who took him in at that time said it, it was recorded in historical materials. The Living Buddha of Dongkorl III, Gava Gyatso, died in 1639 A.D., in the Year of the Rabbit in the Tibetan calendar, at the age of 52.
During the transportation of Gawa Gyatso's body, he encountered another funeral procession. The funeral procession was to bury a young man of Han nationality who was 19 years old at the time.
The miracle happened when the two teams passed by.
Gava Gyatso's body was unharmed and did not change anything, but the deceased in the funeral procession suddenly came to life, much to everyone's shock. After this young man came to life, he behaved serenely, without any sense of confusion. He told those present that he was Don Cole.
This resurrected young man was of Han Chinese and had never studied Tibetan, but after his resurrection, he had all the knowledge and memories of the living Buddha of Dongkor, Gava Gyatso, and he was able to write scriptures in Tibetan with great proficiency. At that time, people, from the top of the religion to ordinary people, all agreed with the reincarnation of the Living Buddha of Dongkorr III as the Living Buddha of Dongkorr IV, and this young man was Dongkorr IV Living Buddha Duoju Gyatso.
The 4th Panchen Lama and the 5th Dalai Lama, which has proved that he was accepted and recognized by the entire Tibetan Buddhism, after which the reincarnation story spread to Beijing, where the Kangxi Emperor summoned Duoju Gyatso and enshrined Manjushri Zen Master.
After listening to Xiao Mao's account, I did not doubt that what happened in the past is impossible to study now, and I can only judge the truth with the help of historical materials and the records of some witnesses at that time. This incident is quoted from the scriptures, and the time and place, together with the important relevant figures, are recorded in great detail, which should not be groundless.
"Xiao Mao, I don't doubt your words." I thought for a moment and asked, "But what are you trying to express?" ”
"I am talking about this because I want to tell you that there is such a thing, otherwise, if you tell the situation directly, you may not understand it, and you may not believe it."
The old Tibetan who took in Xiao Mao said that on the plateau, similar to Zhongjue, who moved to know and seize the house, there was another method. That method is said to have been passed down from ancient Zhangxiong. No one can speak the language of the ancient Zhangxiong anymore, so the ancient Zhangxiong script at that time can only be translated or transliterated according to Tibetan. This method from the ancient Zhangxiong is called "Banda Jue".
Theoretically speaking, there is not much difference between Banda Jue and Migration and Retreat. However, in terms of practical application after the practice, the two are very different.
Banda Jue came from a more primitive and indigenous religion than Tibetan Buddhism, and the object of sacrifice was completely excluded from human corpses, and animal corpses were the main ones.
The reason why Xiao Mao judged this way was because I told him that the hairless rooster that led him out of the hotel was a dead chicken, and it had been dead for a while, and its body was half rotten. And if the transfer of knowledge and seizure in the six laws, whether it is taken away from people or animals, it requires that the body of the person being taken away is well preserved, and there is no damage or external injury.
Therefore, according to this remarkable feature, Xiao Mao can immediately know that most of what we encounter today is Banda Jue. When Banda Jue does this, the caster does not transfer all of his consciousness into the carcass of the animal, because he has to leave a part of his autonomous consciousness to do other things.
For example, in today's incident, Xiao Mao was led away by the hairless rooster, and if I hadn't found out, then Xiao Mao must have hanged himself on the wooden shelf outside the door of that restaurant by now. If I found out, chased after me, and caught up with only Xiaomao and the dead rooster, I wouldn't know who was behind it.
In other words, in the small place of Tiger Ear, there must be a person who understands the secret art of ancient elephants. This person only understands a little, and is certainly not proficient, so he can only snatch small things like poultry.
The ancient kingdom of Zhangxiong has long disappeared, and there are very, very few written and cultural relics left, so later generations have little understanding of this ancient plateau country. However, there have been in-depth cultural exchanges between Zhangxiong and Tubo and the Western Regions, and some of Zhangxiong's non-material culture should have been passed down through other tribes or dynasties. But after all, the ancient Zhangxiong has completely disappeared, and even if the people behind them want to learn and master these cultural heritages, there is no one to guide and guide them, so the Banda Jue that has been passed down from the ancient Zhangxiong has been able to continue to the present, and no one will be proficient in this way.
"Shall we ...... Are we in danger again......" Ning Xiaomei shrunk back, grabbed Zhang Momo's sleeve, and involuntarily raised her eyes to look around: "That person is hiding in the dark, we can't see him, how can we guard against this......"
Ning Xiaomei's words made Lao Wang very nervous, but I feel that things may not be like this, or that the person who knows the secret art of the ancient elephant male, the person to deal with should not be us. If that person is dealing with everyone and hits indiscriminately, it is estimated that the first target will be Lao Wang, Lao Wang is very rough, and when something happens, his brain will be messed up. But that person directly chose Xiao Mao among the five people, which shows that he is very directive, and he came to deal with Xiao Mao.
"Xiaomao, have you ever encountered this situation before?"
"No, never, it's just that when I was a teenager, I heard the old Tibetans talk about it, and I never forgot it, and I never encountered it myself."
I lit a cigarette and thought about it for a while, but it was a bit puzzling. I always felt that the man who knew the secret art of Zhangzhung was not aimed at us, and that he not only did not target us, but took care of us. It is conceivable that if that person had been holding back until Xiao Mao had taken us to the depths of the desert, and he had to do it again, a team that had lost its guide would be in great trouble in that environment.
The fact that he did it on the tiger's ear side, before we even set off, only says one thing.
He probably didn't want Xiao Mao to show us the way, and in the same way, it can be inferred that this person didn't want our team to approach the ruins of the ancient city of Chepan.
"Xiaomao, you don't have a problem." I hesitated, because I couldn't guarantee that if I left Tiger Ears as originally planned, with Xiao Mao as the guide, there would be no surprises. Hu Ritu's incident has already left a shadow on me, and I don't want to drag down people outside the team anymore.
"I'm fine." Xiao Mao smiled, but I could see that he actually had palpitations, but he had traveled more from south to north, and his psychological quality was better, and he almost digested all the bad emotions: "They were all introduced by friends, let's be friends, I have no problem." ”
"Let's go as planned." Zhang Momo interjected next to him: "Xiaomao, I've worked hard for you, I'll add another five thousand yuan to you." ”
"This and this ......" Xiao Mao was happy when he heard the money.
"Okay." Lao Wang is actually a money fan, when he heard 5,000 yuan, he smacked his lips sourly: "Xiaomao, we will take the same road and suffer the same hardships from tomorrow, but if you make money, I still have to lose money, where can I be reasonable." ”
As soon as Lao Wang and Xiao Mao joked, the tense atmosphere was diluted. It's still early, so I took Lao Wang and Xiao Mao back to my room and let everyone rest again.
But I couldn't sleep, because the experience of two fierce actions told me that if something has twists and turns from the beginning, then the road behind must not be smooth.
The next morning, several people woke up and ran out to make do with washing. Lao Shi had already woken up and made some breakfast, but he still looked confused, and he didn't know what it was made of. Everyone had no appetite, so I paid Lao Shi for the stay in the hotel and left.
After setting off from Tiger Ear, Xiao Mao took us to Daya first. In the early days of the Qing Dynasty, it was a place dedicated to the sale of livestock, and until now, many people are used to come here at the beginning of each month to trade livestock. Xiao Mao has been to Daya many times and is familiar with the people here.
I have to say that Xiao Mao is really a very versatile talent, not only knows the route, can drive, but also can drive a camel.
"How many camels do we need?" A camel is expensive, right? "I'm a little worried, the money left by the blind San'er, I will advance more than 20,000 yuan in this car plate action, and if I spend it like this, it won't take long to be gone.
"If you only carry weights, you can carry these things for a maximum of two camels. But to consider comprehensively, when you are tired, you can ride on the camel, my personal experience, four heads are more suitable. Xiao Mao smiled: "You don't need to buy it, even if I go to bargain for a camel, it will probably cost 15,000 to 20,000 yuan." We can rent it. ”
"Can you still rent it?" I sighed at Xiaomao's popularity, tens of thousands of yuan of livestock, and rented it when he said he would rent it.
"Don't get me wrong, there is a mortgage." Xiao Mao smiled again: "Your car stays here, when you come back, bring the camel back, if there is death or injury, you can pay according to the price." The boss has a bottom left, don't worry that he will roll up your car and run away. ”
Xiao Mao found four dromedary camels, which are larger than Bactrian camels and are more suitable for walking on the desert Gobi. This kind of camel carries a maximum of three or four hundred pounds, in order to save animal power, generally only give each camel two hundred pounds of things, Xiaomao suggested, you can buy some more water to take away, more water than less stronger.
"You estimate, we will probably walk for a few days, can we get to the old road of the Huyang River?"
"If there are no accidents on the way, let's step up the itinerary and travel for ten hours a day, about four days or five days."
Xiao Mao said that camels are not suitable for rapid running, but if the speed is maintained between 10 and 15 kilometers per hour, the camel can walk for three or four days in a row, and at this speed, it will be at least four days later when it reaches the old road of the Poplar River.
