Dawa walked around the village with two men, and after coming out of the main hall, he walked up the hill, passing by a large square, which was larger than the square on the day of the New Year. Luo Fei asked Dawa, "What is this square used for?" "Oh yes, the priest's puja will be held here in two days' time, and every year our people's puja is held here, and it's specially prepared for the goddess." Zhang Ningyao was very curious, "Who is the goddess?" "The goddess does not refer to a fixed person, but after two days of the puja, the priestess will be selected to pray to the gods for the healing of the sick." Zhang Ningyao asked more and more, "Oh, what kind of person can choose a seat goddess." "Actually, the goddess is just a title, and the goddess is to be sacrificed as a living person. Alas......" "Now that technology has developed, why do you still use such an ancient custom of sacrificing people." Dawa shook his head, and Luo Fei quietly tugged at Zhang Ningyao's sleeve. But Zhang Ningyao was a little excited and a little angry. Dawa was also very helpless, "Once, our mother didn't believe it like you, so we stopped for a year, but I didn't expect half a year later, half of the people in the village died." Not only Zhang Ningyao, but even Luo Fei, who usually had no expression, was a little surprised. Zhang Ningyao hurriedly asked, "What about the second year?" Didn't you find out the reason back then? "In the second year, Jue's mother was scared, so she resumed the sacrifice, and then passed the year peacefully. As for the reason you said to find out? At that time, there was no such thing as today's high-tech, and we had no way to start it, so how to find the answer to the customs that had been followed thousands of years ago. ”

"Haven't you looked for the source of the water?" "The water source is the Brahmaputra River." "Alright, alright. Dawa will feel uncomfortable, don't ask yet. Zhang Ningyao also felt that he was a little rude, but after all, this is a human life, and it is better to respect the culture in the human family. Luo Fei diverted the topic, pointed to a cave in the distance on the opposite side of the square, and asked, "Dawa, what kind of place is this?" Dawa looked in the direction Luo Fei pointed, "This is a forbidden place in the clan, you can't say it, and you can't go." Luo Fei nodded and said to Dawa, "Let's go back, Ning Yao is a little tired." "Okay." After going back, Zhang Ningyao immediately locked the door, sat on the chair and said a little cautiously, "Luo Fei, why didn't we see a few clansmen after walking around for such a while." Isn't it still open yet? Where have all the people in the village gone? "People from the village? Really, I didn't see anyone except the three of us. Luo Fei poured Zhang Ningyao a glass of water, but remembered what Dawa said just now, and instantly didn't want Zhang Ningyao to drink it, Zhang Ningyao didn't pay attention to him and took the water cup and drank it directly, Luo Fei just wanted to stop Zhang Ningyao and said, "This water must be okay, but there must be something greasy in it." Also..... just now I saw Jue Mu looking at me as if she knew me. Luo Fei nodded: "As soon as I entered the door just now, I found out when she looked at you for the first time." But she recovered quickly, and she couldn't see it if she didn't observe carefully, so did you have anything strange going on in there? "One thing was quite suspicious, I had a lotus birthmark on the back of my neck, and her voice was a little shaky when she asked me." "Lotus mark?" Luo Fei was a little curious, Zhang Ningyao opened the zipper of his clothes, exposing his neck to Luo Fei, and sure enough, there was really one.

"I didn't even notice it the last time I was in the cave." Zhang Ningyao smiled, at that time, you just thought about when I would wake up, how could you still look so carefully. Luo Fei thought about it too. "Eh, are our phones charged?" Luo Fei shook his head, "No, they don't have Apple's charging cable here." "I'll go, and I'll see the benefits of Huawei at this time, and I still have to support domestic products." Luo Fei touched Zhang Ningyao's delicate hair dotingly. "It's okay, we're going to leave soon, anyway. I'm not going to lose you. "Hey, what are you capable of?" Luo Fei cut and checked his luggage. Since he came, Luo Fei has checked his luggage every day, "Alas, I don't know if Comrade Man Youyou can't find me, will he call the police, and Sister Tian, they must be in a hurry." After Luo Fei finished counting, he put each piece of luggage in his bag, zipped it and put it away. I heard you talk about your best friend, according to her personality, it may be, but Lao Mao they are not necessarily, maybe they are so high that they have forgotten us. ”

But Luo Fei really underestimated them this time.

Nanga Bhava Peak Origin Gathering Inn

Lantian was cooking, Li Zhi and the others had been back for a few days, and everyone was tired and interested, lazily nesting in the sofa that Lantian bought. "Sometimes, I think it's a waste to buy a sofa in such a place and spend tens of thousands of postage to ship it here, but now it seems that my sister-in-law's decision is simply wonderful." Mao Xiaoguang and Han Yusheng were talking in a whisper in the room, Mao Xiaoguang's expression was a little serious, "It's been a few days, where have the two of them gone?" Han Yusheng was dull for a while, "The phone must be out of battery or there is no signal, I think they must be fine, otherwise Ah Luo will send us a signal." "What about this girl? No problem? "No problem, the psychology teacher of Linhai City No. 2 Middle School, I have already checked, and the background is very clean." Han Yusheng called up Zhang Ningyao's information from his mobile phone and handed it to Mao Xiaoguang, Mao Xiaoguang glanced at it and asked, "Where is Linhai City?" "It's next to Guangqing City, where we used to be, very close." Mao Xiaoguang nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What about her parents and friends?" "My parents are adoptive parents and both university professors, but I may not be sensitive to feelings because they are engaged in research, so they are not close to Zhang Ningyao, and the family atmosphere is not strong. As for the biological parents, they didn't know and didn't find out. The only friend is a girl who is also a teacher, whose name is Man Youyou. Han Yusheng then said, "However, the two little girls who followed us all the way, Yu Meng and Yu Xuan, have problems. Mao Xiaoguang frowned, "What do you say?" "This is also thanks to Li Zhi, when we had dinner at the night in the medicine valley the next day, Li Zhi had to drink some local medicinal wine, but he didn't expect to drink too much, the bowl was not taken well, and he was just about to fall off and was picked up by Yu Meng, that is steady and ruthless." If I haven't practiced, I don't believe it. "That shows even more that they have practiced, and they pretended to be very well-behaved when they were in the inn. Then you two keep an eye on them. Han Yusheng nodded, got up, and went out first. Mao Xiaoguang stood up and looked out the window at Nanga Bhava Peak, the snow had not melted before, but he didn't expect to be covered with another layer.

At dinner, Li Zhi deliberately shouted at the dinner table, "Eh, guys. Do you think we should find Luo Fei and the two of them, don't be eaten by wolves again. Han Yusheng seemed to inadvertently glance at the Yu sisters, thinking that it was a little interesting, and the expressions of the two of them looked very relaxed, as if nothing had happened. So he nodded to himself, but he didn't think about it, but he was named by Li Zhi, "Old Han, you see that you also think that what I said is right, then we will set off early tomorrow morning and look for it along this road." Mao Xiaoguang looked at Yu Meng, and directly looked a little flustered, what Lao Han said was really wrong with the sisters. Lantian sat next to Mao Xiaoguang, remembering what Mao Xiaoguang said to him, he didn't say anything, and still invited everyone to eat. "Tomorrow's business, tomorrow I will talk about it, first eat enough, tomorrow will have the strength to find someone. Besides, Luo Fei, you don't know where such a capable person can go, maybe he eloped with his young sister. After speaking, Li Zhi laughed and slapped the table and shouted, "I believe what my sister-in-law said, hahahahaha." "The scene instantly became lighter than before. Yu Xuan began to speak, "Brother Luo and Sister Xiao are blessed with great fortunes, and they will definitely be fine." Lan Tian nodded and didn't speak again. Li Zhi felt that he was really not a piece of acting material, this was really not done by people, and he was helpless to eat.

Momba: Two days later

Every morning in the past two days, Luo Fei was most entangled in the question of whether to give Zhang Ningyao medicine, and he felt that this village, including Jue's mother, was very strange and should be cautious. Don't take it, in case this medicine is really helpful for recovering Zhang Ningyao's snow blindness. Luo Fei felt that he had ushered in the most tangled problem in his 33 years. However, Zhang Ningyao looked at him very indifferently, holding the medicine in one hand and the water in the other, and he was sorry for himself if he didn't give him a roll of his eyes. I simply snatched it directly from his hand, put the pill in my mouth, and put a mouthful of water into it. "What the hell are you struggling with, if it's really poisonous, then the food we eat has already been poisoned." Luo Fei thought to himself, too, he made a big fuss. "Dawa came to call us just now, saying that the sacrifice is about to begin. Do you want to see it? Zhang Ningyao nodded: "I have already promised Jue's mother." "Then let's go."

On the other side, Pandan Juemu wore disc-shaped silver ornaments, beads around her neck, red cloth on her shoulders, a white satin gown, and a scepter in her hand, standing in the highest position next to the altar in the square, as if she had decided something, and looked at Zhang Ningyao who came with her eyes like a torch. Today's excitement is not inferior to the New Year of the Menba people, a few days ago it was an empty large square, today it is decorated with colorful wind horse flags, one after another hanging above the altar to encompass the entire square. Behind Jue Mu hangs a huge brocade roof statue of the deity. The roof god overlooks his people, solemn and mysterious.

Twelve o'clock sharp

Everyone was quiet and nervous, Zhang Ningyao looked at the expressions of the people of Menba before he remembered, touched Luo Fei's arm and whispered, "They are going to elect the sacrificial goddess today, so they will show sad and nervous expressions, right?" Luo Fei nodded, clenched her hand, and motioned for her to stop talking. At this time, Juemu had just finished reciting the mantra of prayer, and she slowly opened her eyes and announced to everyone, "Today is the most important time of the year for us Menba people!" It is a great day to elect a goddess of heaven. First of all, please roof God. Juemu's voice was loud, speaking in Menba, and Dawa next to her helped translate, and her expression was also quite nervous. After Jue Mu finished speaking, more than a dozen people dressed differently invited Shen Bawo were dressed in black, with talisman bodhisattvas and jade hanging on their chests, red silk hanging obliquely on their shoulders, and gongs and cymbals to accompany the dancers. Due to the different roles of the dancers, the masks they wear are also different. Some of them wore masks like skeletons, their heads were skulls, and they wore ghost clothes with white skeletons sewn on red backgrounds. Others wear the yak god, a messenger under the Buddhist tantric god Yama, often with the deer god. The mask of the yak god is a yak head made of pulp and mud, and he wears a divine robe made of silk and satin. The rest are the four gods wearing animal masks, including the head of the dragon, the head of the lion and the head of the roc.

After the play, Jue Mu picked up the cane and raised it and knocked it to the ground, the sound of knocking was extremely loud, and I didn't know what material this scepter was made of, and the resonance almost made of tinnitus. "Now I have chosen a goddess of heaven for my people according to the will of the god of the roof." Pandan Juemu walked to the altar, took out a talisman with red rune paper and black runes, and sprinkled some black powder into the altar with her right hand, and the altar instantly burst into flames, and then threw the red rune paper into the altar. After a while, after the rune paper burned out, Bandan flashed in his left hand, and the fire that had been ignited instantly disappeared. At this time, a large amount of black liquid flowed from under the altar to the center of the square, and gathered together to form a black Bon symbol. Bandan walked to the symbol, opened his arms and closed his eyes, his head slightly raised. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and pointed at Zhang Ningyao's place. "This is our goddess." After speaking, a swarm of bees surrounded her, Luo Fei hurriedly put Zhang Ningyao behind him, his face was a little hideous, and shouted, "Which of you dares to touch her!" "But these people don't understand Chinese very well, and secondly, there is such a foreigner who plays the role of sacrifice, and the daughters of their own family are protected from it, so why not do it.

Zhang Ningyao's expression was a little dazed at this time, she didn't know what she was going to do, she just grabbed Luo Fei's hand tightly and stuck it behind him. Jue Mu glanced at the two people who were struggling, and ordered the people to disperse first, "This is God's will, you can't disobey it." "The current Luo Fei doesn't care what they say, what Juemu is, and what mess has nothing to do with us." This is a problem within your people, what does it matter to us! Pandan Juemu is not in a hurry, "Since you have come here and received the gift of God, you will have to pay the price." Luo Fei was a little stunned, could it be that this was the price to cure Zhang Ningyao's eyes? Jue Mu didn't speak again, and suddenly a person stepped forward and waved at Luo Fei, and then Luo Fei fell to the ground. Zhang Ningyao shouted at the man, "Dawa, how can you do this!" You know it's not right, it's aiding and abetting. He then pointed at Bandhan and said, "If this is the case, we would rather not have you save it." Bandhan was not in a hurry and said slowly, "You are as small as ants in the presence of God, and if you give up your resistance now, I promise you to send him out tomorrow and send him to a safe place." If you are still determined, then I will give you two a ride, depending on your choice. ”

At this time, Zhang Ningyao showed a sneering smile and said to Bandan Juemu, "Then please escort him well, I agree." Bandan Jue's mother smiled, and the rest of the clansmen also laughed, they held hands to put the fainted Luo Fei and Zhang Ningyao in a circle, and the laughter of the clansmen and Zhang Ningyao's struggle at this moment fell into Bandan's eyes. This is fate, you are powerless to resist, let alone me back then.

night

Tonight should be Zhang Ningyao's most torturous night, and I don't know if Luo Fei was sent out by them. Zhang Ningyao was changed into a red robe, very bewitching red, covered with black charms. She looked at the full moon outside the window, fifteen years old. I still remember that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of last year, she and Man Youyou nested in their hut and made dumplings of various flavors, and then on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year, they were on the other side of Man Youyoutian, and Luo Fei was too. I hope that Luo Fei can complete what he wants to do after he goes out, and he will also forget himself, forget here, forget Tibet, and forget everything.

In another room, Luo Fei was awakened by a familiar female voice, at first he thought it was Zhang Ningyao, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a strange woman with a covered face. He suddenly thought of Zhang Ningyao, and hurriedly asked, "Where is my wife?" Is she okay? The strange woman nodded and handed the meal to Luo Fei, Luo Fei was relieved to hear that Zhang Ningyao was fine, but he didn't touch the food sent by the strange woman. The strange woman was a little anxious, "There is no poison in this meal, I made it myself." Luo Fei didn't want to communicate with her more, "Then you let me out now, I'm going to save my wife." The strange woman shook her head, "I can't let you out, even if you go, there are still so many guards at the door, you can't get out at all." Don't worry, the mother said they will send you away tomorrow, and you will be safe. Luo Fei stood up and tried the door panel in the room, and sure enough, it was very strong, it seems that this is a place for people. I heard the sound of water droplets again, huh? This is not a house, this is a cave? Luo Fei suddenly thought of what the cave he asked Dawa was used for, and now it seems that the problem in this village is really not a star. The strange woman saw that Luo Fei didn't pay attention to her, so she was a little anxious and pulled Luo Fei's clothes, Luo Fei pulled it out without a trace, turned his back to her and said, "Thank you for your kindness." The strange woman saw that persuasion was useless, and left. Luo Fei heard the sound of the door being locked again, and looked back and thought carefully. This girl can come in so easily, and no one stops her, so it can be seen that her status is not ordinary, so is such an unusual identity the next generation of Juemu? Although he hadn't seen this person when he was in the main hall, he felt familiar with her voice, Luo Fei thought about it for a long time and didn't figure out who this person was, listening to what she meant, he would send himself out tomorrow, but they didn't know where they came from, maybe they just found a place to find a way and threw themselves down. But what about his untimely death? Want to be a meal for these brutes? He remembered that Dawa had told him that the date of the sacrifice was three days after the selection of the goddess, and that he only needed to come out within three days, and that he could not be surprised yet. Luo Fei comforted himself and relaxed with the method that Zhang Ningyao handed over to him. However, she will definitely not be wronged if she dies in the past three days, as long as she waits for herself well and does not have a too tough attitude. Luo Fei thought about taking out a device similar to a remote control from his pocket, the center of the remote control was a red button, and after Luo Fei pressed it, he found a hidden place to hide the remote control. Close your eyes and recuperate, this battle has been fought.
