Chapter 22: A Strange Picture Book
Of course, what attracted the second uncle was not the undisciplined plots, but the characters in this painting, one by one..... They are all gods of Buddhism, the whole is presented in the form of a thangka, the gods and Buddhas are in the center, frivolous and ambiguous, and the surrounding circle is full of Bodhisattva costumes, dancing and dancing, with obscene expressions, all plump buttocks**, graceful posture.......
Almost every page is, all kinds of postures, all kinds of combinations, many unimaginable positions for the second uncle...... I learned here....... It's all one man to many. It is not only in Tibetan, but also in Mongolian.
The second uncle's worldview was crushed, and in his mind, the gods and Buddhas... It is the purest and highest and the most innocent existence that cannot be blasphemed, the mother sincerely believes in the Bodhisattva, the family worships the Buddha statue, every fifteenth day of the new year, there will be offerings, incense burning, praying, praying for happiness and peace in the year.......
Cultivated in this environment since childhood, the second uncle is also a person who believes in Buddhism, whenever he encounters a disaster, he is silently praying for the Bodhisattva to bless himself in the depths of his heart, and every time he can turn danger into a disaster, he has always thought that there is a blessing of God and Buddha in the underworld. And now...... Seeing such a rebellious album, the second uncle was not only stunned, but also angry! This is blasphemy against the gods!
The book is line-bound, the pages are yellow and very old, and a light flip will cause some damage, so to speak..... It's a relic, but it's ...... In ancient times, how could there be such an evil thing? In fact, eating people, skinning, refining demons, these are nothing, demons and evil natures, but such a defilement of the Buddha has been since ancient times, which is really unimaginable, this book ...... There is "poison"!
"Uncle...... Are all the pictures in this book real? Tingting asked incredulously, a pair of fox eyes winked innocently at the second uncle.
This little girl, although she doesn't look big, is also 20 years old after all, and she still understands the affairs of men and women.
The second uncle shook his head and sighed: "Justice and kindness, light and darkness, are opposites in themselves, how cruel the demons in this underground world are, how dirty the thoughts are, they are the opposite of justice, so there is this kind of dirty and defiled calligraphy and painting of the gods...... Ahem, the soul is vicious to this extent, but it also matches their identity. ”
"Oh......" Tingting nodded and asked, "Then uncle, let's tear it up, right?" ”
The second uncle said: "No, this is also a cultural relic, and it should be handed over to the state, by the way, have you found a way out?" ”
Tingting scratched her head and said: "I found one, but to be precise, it was a vent, too narrow, I had no problem getting out, but uncle, I'm afraid you can't...... I need at least a day to open up a little bit, by the way, uncle, can you let me read this book again before you turn it in to the state? ”
"No way!" The second uncle decisively rejected her, and said in his heart that this girl is really cunning...... I just said I was going to tear it up, but now I want to read this unhealthy book!
Actually, the second uncle is selfish, he believes that the master is not dead, but just turned into a butterfly. Since she has been laying out the bureau for three years to eliminate the black corpse Rulai, then only by thoroughly studying the black corpse Rulai can she understand what the corpse world is? Where might Master's whereabouts be? What's the mystery of everything? So...... You can't let go of the clues, at least...... It is necessary to translate both Mongolian and Tibetan.
"Humph! Uncle is stingy, this book, but I found it first, and I won't give you any good things in the future," Tingting pouted, the boss was not very happy.
The second uncle changed the topic and said: "Tingting, after going out this time, my uncle will make up for your hardships in the first 20 years and let you live a good life...... Uncle is rich, lots and lots of money. ”
"Make amends?" Tingting blinked ignorantly: "Uncle, it wasn't you who hurt me, why do you want to make up for me?" ”
This rhetorical question stunned the second uncle, and said with a wry smile: "Because...... You saved my life twice, the grace of dripping water gushes in return, the grace of saving my life, the repayment of my life, I will naturally make up for you. ”
Hearing the second uncle say this, the little girl was very moved and excited, but after a while, she ...... Lost again, he muttered, "Uncle, I can't return to the human world like I am now, I... It's a monster. ”
With that, tears fell in a snap......
"Don't worry, after I go out, I will visit the master, there will be a way to save you, let you become the way you are, don't ..... To be precise, make you a healthy girl," the second uncle comforted.
Actually, he also thought about it, this time he will no longer do any treasure collection, the money is almost earned, but it's just a number, there is no need to be insatiable, he must study the art of the occult law in his lifetime, instead of passively letting fate play tricks, it is better to take the initiative, the master is gone, only he can protect himself!
And Tingting, this girl, must have a way to restore her original appearance, the world is so big, there are so many masters, it will definitely work!
"Thank you, uncle......" Tingting nodded gratefully with tears in her eyes, however..... From the tone of voice, you can tell that she doesn't really have much hope.
......
After this nirvana-like experience of life and death, the second uncle and Tingting drilled out of this terrible underground space, and it was already bright outside, at eight or nine o'clock in the morning. He has long lost the concept of time, and everything seems to him to be like a person from another world.
The second uncle's body was blown to pieces, it was Tingting who pieced it together little by little, clothes and backpacks and the like were naturally nowhere to be found, I don't know where this girl got a robe of the ancients, I think it is also a thing in the grave, the second uncle will cover his body, it feels weird, like a dead man who crawled out of the grave.
But in any case, they finally came out, surrounded by a vast coniferous primeval forest, and the hole they drilled out was actually in an ancient well next to the swamp.
In this vast no-man's land, there is a well that is indeed strange, who would have thought that it would be the vent of the underground demon cave......
By the direction of the sun, the second uncle found his way back, and when he arrived at the back mountain of the village, he asked Tingting to wait under the path tree next to the cemetery in the back mountain, and he went back to drive to deal with the follow-up matters of the Sun family.
At first, he was very worried, the master was gone, and no one could save Sun Zhuzi anymore, but when he arrived at Sun's house, he found that Zhuzi's illness had been cured, and he had returned to normal consciousness two days ago, and he spoke normally, but it was just ..... Master Jiang said in advance that he would not be allowed to come out for a month, so he was still locked up in a room covered with red paper.
Needless to say, the Sun family is very grateful, what the second uncle cares about the most is what the master left in the room.
Before she left, she left two paintings, one of herself and the other of her second uncle, which were hung in their respective rooms. Master still has a lot of belongings in the room, and through these things, he can also analyze some clues, so ..... He couldn't wait to check it out.
However, the result was a big disappointment to him, except for the two paintings still hanging on the wall, there was nothing of value in Jiang Xiaoyun's room, and the backpack was also empty, it seemed to be ..... In order to win the battle, she used up all the materials......
Only a few pieces of clothing that still had the master's body fragrance made the second uncle feel sorry, he remembered..... Jiang Xiaoyun has an ID card, although he is not allowed to see it every time, but he does have it with him, but the second uncle can't find it.
After packing up his things and explaining a few words to the Sun family, the second uncle left Lao Sun's house in frustration, drove away from this sad place with Tingting, and lost his master.
Tingting has been living underground for many years, and for the first time in her life, she got into a car not in a bound state, and tears of excitement came out, she nested in the small space in the back row and looked out, the second uncle's car...... Becoming her fortress, she no longer has to worry about the discrimination and hostility of the world.
Seeing that the second uncle was very sad, the little guy comforted and asked compassionately, but the second uncle just shook his head and didn't say a word......
Shopping and resting along the way, the second uncle returned to Beijing, Tingting also came to the heart of the motherland for the first time in her life, she said that she never thought that she would see high-rise buildings, let alone ..... In this life, she can still live the life of a "human", she is just a "livestock" in captivity by the corpse Buddha......
The first thing he did after returning to Beijing, the second uncle was to draw everything that happened in the underground demon cave, and after a few years of mixing with the master, his eyes were like cameras, as long as he saw things, he could basically restore about 95%.
Especially what happened after entering that fantasy world, the hanging towers of the distant mountains, the tall city walls, and even... The two huge demons on the city gate, as well as the thousands of stone soldiers, the second uncle's "talent" shocked Tingting beyond measure, which can be called a generation of painting gods, she didn't expect that behind this powerful uncle, there was still a superb painter, who was really able to write and martial arts!
The little album without discipline, the second uncle specially copied it, and then thanks to the relationship of friends, I was fortunate to visit an old professor in the Department of Archaeology of Peking University, Xu Fangze, Xu Lao is a master in the domestic archaeological field, especially specializing in the ancient culture of ethnic minorities, the second uncle is eager to interpret through Xu Lao's knowledge, what is this booklet for? What does the text and the like mean?
To say... Mongolian and Tibetan translations, in fact, it is not difficult, any teacher in the University of Nationalities can translate, the second uncle before meeting Xu Lao, also found someone to translate, but it seems to be ..... The translated words are all incomprehensible, and these words seem to only look like Tibetan and Mongolian scripts, but they are not exactly ...... The feeling effect is like Chinese reading Japanese, déjà vu, but not at all!
