Chapter 415: Nazha Temple

After drinking a sip of barley wine, the fire in my throat was spicy! For someone like me who doesn't drink much, it's a death. Ran Wen is small? Say??.? r?anen`org

But soon, the fire & spicy in my throat turned into sweetness, and I felt that this wine was much better for a while! Kasonjila's daughter saw that we all took a sip and then poured us wine in a flask. I didn't want her to fall, but Hu Yifei stopped me again!

Later, I learned that the Tibetan people are hospitable, when entertaining guests with barley wine, they should first pour wine into the wine glass and serve it to the guests, at this time, the guests should take the wine glass with both hands, and then take the glass with one hand, and the middle finger of the other hand stretches into the cup, dip it lightly, and flick it with the thumb and middle finger to the sky, which means to worship the gods! Next, come to the second and third times, and respect the earth and the Buddha respectively. This traditional custom is to remind people that the origin of wine is inseparable from the generosity of heaven, earth and Buddha, so it is necessary to worship the gods before enjoying it. When greeting guests, in addition to dipping his hand in wine and popping it three times, the host should also grab a little barley in the grain bucket and throw it into the air three times.

When the guests are drinking, the custom is that the host immediately pours the wine and fills the cup, then the second sip, then the fullest, then the third sip, and then the fullest. After that, you'll have to drink all the full glass of wine in one gulp!

In this way, the host feels that the guest looks up to him, and the more the guest drinks, the happier the host becomes, indicating that the host's wine is well-brewed, and when the Tibetan people toast, there are also men and women, and the male guests generally use large cups or large bowls, and the female guests use small cups or small bowls.

Come to think of it, I'm really a bit of a well! Every nation has its own customs, and sometimes you think you are doing the right thing, but in other people's customs, you think that you are disrespectful to them! It's like the Hui people don't eat pork, and it's also a truth! This is people's beliefs and folk customs, and no one can force it!

After three times the wine, I already have a bit of a big tongue & head, and my head is dizzy! I have to say that the barley wine of the Tibetan people is really strong enough, and ordinary people are really unblessed.

However, I took advantage of this wine to ask Solang Wangdui about my grandmother's whereabouts; That's the only reason we're here, and I won't forget it.

What did Solang Wangdui want to answer when he saw me asking him? But he was suddenly stopped by Kasongjila!

Immediately afterwards, I saw Kasongira talking bitterly to Solang Wangdui. Moreover, Kasongira's daughter also began to join the discussion and talked to Kasongira angrily! Since they use Tibetan, we can only stare at each other and don't know what to say.

After a few minutes of arguing, it seemed that in the end, Kasongira was victorious! Solang Wangdui told us a little helplessly: "Kasongjila said that the person you are looking for has gone to Nazha Monastery on the mountain!" ”

"Naza Temple? Is that the temple where the corpses are kept? ”

I saw that Suo Langwangdui's eyes were a little evasive, but because I was concerned about my grandmother, I didn't pay too much attention to it, and hurriedly asked him.

"Yes!"

Solang Wangdui bowed his head and replied to me, and then he didn't speak again.

Have you finally found your grandma?

The news of Solang Wangdui was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for me, and after hearing the news from my grandmother, my originally groggy mind was much clearer; In addition, Suo Langwangdui said that corpses have frequently run out of the temple in the past few days, which also makes me more eager to find my grandmother; So, after asking about the way to the temple, I said goodbye to the Kasongjila family with Hu Yifei and Hu Laoqi!

Excuse yourself from Kasongjila's hospitality, we drove all the way up to the location of Nazha Monastery, and when leaving, Kasongjila's daughter also deliberately put a lot of tsamba in a paper bag for us to eat, and specifically pointed to the paper wrapped in tsamba, I don't know what it means?

Solang Wangdui told us that as long as you walk up the road for more than ten kilometers, you can see Nazha Temple! We drove faster, and in less than twenty minutes, we saw a temple built at the foot of the mountain.

With white walls and red tiles, colorful wall paintings and small buntings, the temple in front of you gives people a very sacred feeling! It's just that there doesn't seem to be any one in the temple at this time? I saw that the temple door was wide open, so I climbed the steps with Hu Yifei and Hu Laoqi and walked into the temple gate.

"Are the three of you here to make incense?"

As soon as we walked into the door, we were startled by the voice of a person behind us. When I looked back, I saw a young lama outside the door. At this time, he was carrying a broom to talk to us! He seemed to see that we weren't locals, so he spoke in broken Mandarin.

"It's not! We're here to find someone......"

When I finally saw the people in the temple, I hurriedly told him what I was here for, and described my grandmother's appearance and what she was wearing to the young lama in front of me.

"Wait a minute!"

The lama looked at us carefully, then nodded to us, then stood behind the door with his broom in his hand, and walked into the main hall of the monastery on his own.

Taking advantage of the young lama's time to enter the temple, we also observed some of the layout of the temple in front of us!

After entering the gate, there is a large hall in front of it, which enshrines the Buddha statue of Shakyamuni Buddha; And on both sides of the main hall there are two side halls, but the door of the side hall is closed, and I can't see what is enshrined inside? At the back of the side hall are many rooms, which look like they should be where the lamas lived!

It didn't take long for the young lama to come over from the main hall with an old lama with a wrinkled face, this old lama was wearing a living Buddha hat and holding a string of prayer beads, which seemed to be the living Buddha in the temple!

"The three sufferers we are looking for are in retreat in the lamp room, so it is inconvenient to disturb them. Please stay in this temple for a few days, and wait for the bitter master to come out of the customs before you can see each other! ”

The old lama came to us and first gave us a Buddhist salute before telling us about my grandmother's whereabouts.

"Retreat?"

I thought I was going to see my grandmother soon, but who would have thought that after listening to the old lama's words, I would learn that my grandmother would be in retreat in some lamp-burning room? The excitement in my heart that I was about to see my grandmother suddenly turned into smoke and loss.

Along the way, I am used to hearing the abnormalities of grandmothers in other people's mouths; So, it's not unusual for my grandmother to come here and retreat in my mind; And coupled with what Solang Wangdui said personally, I have no reason to suspect anything?

"Three of you, please!"

In desperation, we could only agree to the old lama's request and prepare to stay first.
