Chapter 763: Evil Corpses and Demons
Mindu stood up while rubbing the wound on his arm, he frowned, glanced at the evil corpses everywhere that had begun to smell rancid, and said, "They are indeed evil corpses, and the next Dan Great Witch has always thought they are demons." ”
Liang Houzai picked up the black axe on the ground, carefully looked at the runes engraved on it, and asked Mindu, "Did you get this?" ”
Mindu nodded: "I have always suspected that the villagers have become evil corpses, and the Dharma seal on it is left by the Mahayana master, which is said to be able to deter evil corpses, but unfortunately I have no telekinesis, and the Dharma seal carved is almost powerless." ”
I asked him, "Who is the Mahayana teacher?" ”
Min Du said, "It's the holy monk who came here three thousand years ago. ”
While Mindu was speaking, the burly man sat up from the ground, he stared at the corpses everywhere, his eyes were a little stunned, this person always gave me a sullen feeling.
Min Du pointed at the man and said to me, "Cangyang Gyatso, he is a sage of this generation, he was born with great compassion, but when he encounters things related to the world, he becomes confused, some people say that he is a fool, but in fact, in this place, he is the smartest person besides Mindu. This time I left Baoding, and he came out with me voluntarily. ”
Min's words are not very easy to understand, there are too many proper nouns, some of which I can understand, some of which I can't.
The treasure top he was talking about should be the area enclosed by high walls, and the terrain of that place is indeed higher than other places. But I don't understand what the sage means, and whether the man in front of me has a special meaning in naming Changyang Gyatso.
In the history of Tibet, there is also a man named "Cangyang Gyatso", who is an extremely talented and controversial person, who is in the same historical period as Kangxi, and there is some separation between the two.
You may not have heard of this man, but you must know a poem called "Seeing and Not Seeing": "You see or don't see me, I am there, not sad or happy." You read it, or you don't miss me, the love is there, don't come or go......"
The poem is also known by another name: The Silence of Banzaguru Baima, written by the Guangdong poetess Tashi Ram Duoduo, but once when she published the poem in a magazine, she used the pseudonym "Cangyang Gyatso". So much so that many people mistakenly believe that this poem is the work of the historical Cangyang Gyatso.
And the reason why there is such a misunderstanding is because the historical Cangyang Gyatso is also a poet, yes, the world's perception of Cangyang Gyatso is more of a poet's identity, but it is easy to forget his other identity in Tibetan Buddhism - the Sixth Dalai Lama.
Cangyang Gyatso, which means "Sanskrit sound sea" and "sea of sound and rhythm" in Chinese, is a very beautiful name.
But seeing the burly figure slowly sitting up from the ground, and his slightly rough appearance, I really couldn't associate him with such a name.
I tried to change the subject: "Who is the next day?" ”
As I spoke, my eyes kept falling on Cangyang Gyatso.
Without waiting for Mindu to speak, Liu Shangang spoke: "It's the priest who appeared on the second floor, the one who quarreled with Mindu." ”
Mindu's eyes widened suddenly: "You also entered the treasure top?" ”
Liu Shangang smiled and briefly told Mindu about our experience since we arrived at Xiaotian Mountain, and when the two of them spoke, I was still staring at Cangyang Gyatso.
The corpse poison on his body has not been completely dissolved, and I feel as if there is some kind of power in his body that prevents the Qi field of the black water corpse from spreading all over his body, and at the same time, it also prevents the corpse poison from flowing into his meridians.
It seems to be a kind of mental power, or a kind of spiritual rhyme, I can't say, I can feel that the power is primitive and pure, it should not be acquired, it is innate.
Cangyang Gyatso stood up and turned his head again, he saw Mindu, he looked at me again, and he smiled happily at me, his smile was simple, but it gave people a very clean feeling.
Influenced by him, I smiled too.
I feel more and more that Cangyang Gyatso seems to have an indescribable strange power that can make people feel calm.
Seeing that he was fine, I interrupted the conversation between Min and Liu Shangang, and I asked Mindu, "Where are the other survivors?" ”
Mindu frowned again: "I heard that they gathered in Rhino Spring, and I'm worried that now the evil corpses have attacked. ”
I asked Minness in a quick voice, "Is there a tall stone statue over there at Rhino Spring?" ”
Mindu nodded: "That's the statue of the Mahayana master, after the stone statue, walk five or six hundred meters in the direction of due north, and it is the rhinoceros spring." ”
I thought for a moment and said to Minness, "Lead the way." ”
Sensitivity didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately set off, leading us in the direction of due north.
There are a lot of evil corpses on the road, there are a few of us, of course, it is impossible for Mindu to encounter danger again, on the road, if we encounter a relatively small number of evil corpses, we still kill them on the spot, if we encounter a large group of corpses, we will find a way to lure them away.
I finally knew why Minhe and Cangyang Gyatso were besieged just now, and as soon as Cangyang Gyatso saw those evil corpses, he became very impatient, and some inexplicable cries came out of his mouth.
The reason why I say inexplicable is not because I can't understand his language, but what comes out of his mouth, sometimes it is like the roar of a wild beast, sometimes it is a strange scream, in short, it is definitely not the sound that should be spoken.
Mindu said that the reason why Cangyang Gyatso is like this is because he is a person with great compassion. He screamed in pity of those who had become evil corpses, and he roared in anger at the tragic fate of these people.
I don't think Mindu's explanation is entirely correct, perhaps, Changyang Gyatso has long known that the reason why his fellow villagers have become like this is because someone has done something to them, and the anger in his heart is directed at the person who turned everyone into evil corpses.
I asked Mindu to tell Cangyang Gyatso that if he didn't want the rest of the people to become evil corpses, he must not make similar noises again.
Senitsu became a bridge between me and Cangyang Gyatso, and when he conveyed my meaning to Cangyang Gyatso, there was a little worry on his face, as if he was worried that Cangyang Gyatso would not understand what he meant, but Cangyang Gyatso turned his head and nodded at me very firmly. The moment he nodded, I noticed that his eyes became very bright, and his mind seemed to brighten up for a moment, but soon, he became that muddy appearance again, and his eyes and movements gave people a sullen feeling.
On the way, I also learned about the situation here from Mindu's mouth.
He just mentioned the words "Great Witch" and "Sage". The so-called Great Witch is actually the priest of the village, he is the right-hand man of Tusi, and he is also the doctor of the village, and he has a prestige second only to Tusi in the village. And the Sages are the ones who will become the Great Witches, they are the assistants of the Great Witches, and they are also the students of the Great Witches.
Mindu said that when people in the village first turned into evil corpses, the next day the Great Witch claimed that it was a plague brought by the mountain god, and not long ago, Vaa, who was stationed in the Little Tianshan Mountain, killed a mountain god to protect his daughter.
I told Mindu that we had met Vaa in the Little Tien Shan and that he had also become an evil corpse.
Mindu was shocked, he said that Vaa had escaped from the Little Heavenly Mountain after killing the mountain god, and had never returned since, and that the disaster had only begun to appear in the second month after the mountain god's death, and that he had also heard that someone in the village had become "demons", and that those so-called demons should be the evil corpses mentioned in the ancient books, so he hurried back, and before leaving, he left the note.
He was worried that the disaster would last for many years, and we arrived at Xiaotianshan at the appointed time and could not find him, so we specially wrote the location of the secret passage on a note in advance.
It's strange, why did Vaa come back now that he had fled, how did he become an evil corpse, and why did that half note appear on him?
Luan Cheng was in a mess in my mind, and I glanced back at Liang Houzai, Liang Houzai's gaze happened to meet mine, and he shook his head at me, meaning that he didn't have a clue now.
I asked Mindu, "What about your toast, does he live in that little building too?" ”
Miniti nodded: "Toast has always been inside." When I came back, I told the villagers that they had probably become evil corpses, and told them that the Dharma seal of the Tusi Mahayana Master could be used to deal with the evil corpses, but Tusi insisted that the villagers had become demons, and said that as long as the anger of the mountain god subsided, the village would change back to its original state, and instructed everyone not to do anything to the villagers who had become demons. ”
I said, "Who are the people who live in the top of the house?" Why are there other survivors in the village? ”
Mindu sighed: "Most of them are Tusi's family, and the others are people with relatively high status in the village. There is not much food stored there in Baoding, and it is not enough to feed everyone for a long time. Although the next Dan Dawu also thought that the villagers had become demons, he was also very helpless about Toast's approach, and he once urged Toast to rescue the survivors outside, but he angered Toast and was almost driven out of the treasure top. Alas, the next Dan Dawu is too old, and he has a little difficulty walking now, otherwise, he would have come out with me this time. ”
Liu Shangang asked the outsider again: "What is the man in the jacket doing?" ”
"His name is Wu Lin, he's an engineer, and a few months ago, when the equipment in the power station broke down, Tusi asked him to repair the equipment," Mindu said. The next Dan Dawu said that Wu Lin was a friend that Tusi had made in the outside world. ”
Liu Shangang: "The disaster only started after Wu Lin came, right?" ”
Mindu shook his head: "No, when Tenzin turned into an evil corpse, Wu Lin hadn't come yet. ”
Liu Shangang asked him again: "Who is Tenzin?" ”
Mindu frowned and responded, "He is a desperate family in the village, his character is very bad, and the people in the village hate him. When he became an evil corpse, everyone thought he was sick of something, so they locked him up alone, and every day someone brought him food. At that time, I was still in Xiaotianshan, and it was only after I came back that I heard about him. ”
As we had crossed four or five intersections during the conversation, Cangyang Gyatso pulled out a chain of scarlet beads from his cloth bag and placed it around Mindu's neck.
Mindu glanced at Cangyang Gyatso, and Cangyang Gyatso smiled at him, the smile was still very clean, but Cangjia's eyes were still cloudy.
The name Cangyang Gyatso, according to Tibetan customs, can also be called "Canggyal".
As soon as he turned into a small road, Liu Shangang suddenly stopped and waved his hand at the people behind him, signaling everyone to stop.
I sensed it, and the amount of corpse qi in front of me was not large, and there should be no large-scale corpse group, so I asked Liu Shangang in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”
Liu Shangang frowned, lowered his voice and responded, "The movement is not right." ”
