We searched the ancient temple in front of us, in the barren grass, there were no people's footprints, except for weeds and rocks, occasionally we would see some half-empty animal bones, look at the shape of the bones, and even Tibetan horses, bears and yaks and other large animals, I don't know whether they were born and died here, or were eaten by some other beasts.

In this section of the journey before arriving at the gate of the ancient temple mountain, the lama briefly said something about the situation of this abandoned temple, in the ancient legend of Tibet, the king of the world's enemy jewels, entrusted by the princess of Jiadi (Jiadi: In ancient times, Tibet called the Han land as Jiadi), with the help of the lotus master, killed the demon concubine who hid in Kunlun Mountain, in the oral narrative poem that has been circulated for thousands of years, there has been a detailed description, and the poem mentioned that the demon concubine was the reincarnation of the ghost mother of the demon country.

Since ancient times, this mountain recess not far from the Kunlun Divine Spring is a cursed place, passing through the herdsmen and cattle here, often disappearing inexplicably, the local living Buddha, has more than once sent the iron rod lama and vajra protector, to the mountain to find out the reason, but there is no clue.

Until the Qianlong period, there was a strong mountain collapse, some people found that a nameless ancient tomb was exposed under the hillside, the location was back to the mountain and the lake, the stone gate of the ancient tomb collapsed, and it was wide open, but the local herdsmen were superstitious, no one dared to go in, only looked inward outside, only saw that there were many old oak trees inside.

The stone path outside the ancient tomb is half submerged in the lake, and the stone men and stone beasts in the tombs of sheep and tigers have been damaged, and the inscriptions such as inscriptions and markings are all missing, so it is impossible to know who is buried in this tomb and whether there are people staying nearby. It often invites trouble.

The Living Buddha sent lamas into the cracked tomb to search and dig out some human bones from the city, the rest of the place was rotten, and a stone tablet was excavated. It is engraved with a picture of the ancient Tibetan legend "Ghost Mother Hitting the Bowl".

The locals believe that all kinds of disasters that happened here before must be related to the ghost mother and demon concubine of the demon country, maybe this is her last burial place, and later this matter was learned by the court, because the people in Tibet changed frequently at that time, in order to win people's hearts and show the emperor's holy virtue and benevolence, it was funded by the court, and a temple was built here to pay tribute to the "Great Virtue King Kong". Sweep away evil spirits, and also ask the living Buddha to send people to preside over the big and small things in the temple.

After the completion of the "Big Phoenix Temple", the incense was extremely powerful, and many herdsmen came all the way to turn the mountains and lakes. But strange things in this area are still going on one after another, and many people see a strange man in Tsing Yi at night. Haunting the nearby lake, in the turn of the day, there will definitely be a person drowning in the water, and the drowning person, whether fat or thin, as long as the water is submerged above the head, even if he is rescued immediately, there is only skin and bones left. Dry like the bark of a tree.

There have been more than one witness, the water stretched out a big cyan hand like a wheel, grabbed the shore of people and animals, pulled into the water, the lamas cut off the basin, so that the lake dried up to find out the root cause, but only to see the bottom of the lake dry bones, chanting sutras over the great practice, all of which had no effect, had to use a stone to block the ancient tomb, abandon the temple and go, in the Tibetan land where Buddhism is prosperous, the fact of abandoning the temple is too rare, since then, people warn each other, stay away from this ominous forbidden land.

In the seventies, except for some old lamas, the rest of the people have gradually forgotten, and some people began to covet convenience, come to this barren meadow to play winter grass, we found that the remains of the stone road, is the scripture stone that blocked the cracks of the ancient tomb, on which are engraved with the tantric reincarnation mantra of the Great Nikkei book, can not be stepped on with feet, the lama told us this, shook his head again and again, sighed, and whispered: "Alas, not many people still take the words of the Buddha seriously." ”

When the big man heard this, he whispered to me, "Old Hu, can there really be such a thing as he said?" , right? ”

I was noncommittal, thinking that the volcanic activity at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain a few days ago was frequent, causing a major earthquake, which may have cracked the sealed ancient tomb again, but since everything in the tomb had been emptied as early as the Qianlong period, it means that there is only one "ruin tomb" left here, I only know that the place of the tomb is not suitable for a long time, as for the strange legends in this temple, I don't know what to do.

In order not to leave any clues, the four of us opened a certain distance and advanced to the ruined walls of the ancient temple, but we didn't find any suspicious signs along the way. At this time, the first group led by the company commander also walked out of the barren grass, and they didn't find anything there, and the two groups temporarily merged and entered the "Great Phoenix Temple".

This temple is damaged and collapsed very seriously, only a few circles of broken walls remain, you can vaguely see the scale of the year, at this time a round of big and round moon, from the thick lead clouds revealed, the moon is as bright as day, illuminating the temple is clear, and the heavy snow on the mountain beam is still falling non-stop, the cold wind blows down, choking people's lungs and tubes are cold, the internal organs seem to be frozen into ice, where is there still the heart to enjoy the wonder of this half of the moonlight and half of the snow.

The local garrison has such a mantra: "After passing the Kunlun Mountain, entering the Ghost Gate, and arriving at the unfrozen spring, the tears will freeze, Kunlun Ya, and the wolf will freeze to death." The mountain where the abandoned temple is located is a big mouth to suck the wind, the cold wind with ice slag will pour in from all directions, forming a peculiar sound of whimpering, hovering over the ancient temple of barren grass, the strangest thing is that the temperature here is very low, but the green plants next to it can still survive, the lake never freezes, and there are no fish and aquatic plants in it, legend has it that in ancient times, there was no wind here and there were three feet of waves, most of the lake area had dried up a long time ago, only a small piece of blisters remained, so it was regarded as " Ghost Lake Laangcuo".

As soon as the people of the squad entered the wall of the broken temple, the company commander asked the lama to introduce the temple and the surrounding terrain to everyone in detail. The second group is responsible for searching the ruins of the ancient temple, and it is necessary to confirm the situation clearly, so as not to cause unnecessary ethnic conflicts, and if the missing squad is still not found by dawn, the higher authorities will dispatch the entire battalion from the military division to carry out the search and rescue.

After the company commander made the arrangement, he took his few people and walked straight through the broken tank, but in fact, the ancient tomb behind the temple was not grand, only the area of two private houses. The reason why we saw the prayer stone sealing the tomb in front of the temple is because the earthquake caused the cracks in the geological zone to widen, and the geological layer of the entire hillside was torn apart and connected with the tomb at the other end.

We also did not dare to delay, let the lama lead the way, searched the broken temple inside and out, in the middle position, we saw a broken human body bull-faced multi-armed god statue, the face is fierce and angry, this is the power of subduing evil, helping the good of the great power of the great virtue of King Kong.

Under the statue of Dawei Dade King Kong, there is a large stone slab more than one meter thick, which is dug out from the ancient tomb behind the temple, very dilapidated and dilapidated, I wiped off the ash on it with cotton gloves, revealing the stone carvings on it, I and the big man, Xu Officer felt very curious, wanted to see what the ghost mother looked like, only to see that the carvings on the boulder were almost gone, and there was no color, but fortunately, the stone pattern was detailed, and you could see the old appearance of six or seven points.

A nude woman, with three eyes and six arms, is covered with strange ornaments, these ornaments are distorted in shape, as if they are all related to the snake god, and beside her is a huge water bowl with cicada wing patterns, and in the middle of the bowl sits a dark and fat child, also with three eyes and six arms, holding a short snake staff, striking the bowl body. In the background, there are countless mountains of cow skulls.

The lower half of the slate may be buried in the soil all year round, and it has been eroded by the soil and water to turn black and rotten, so we can only see the above half of the picture, we just look at it rarely, and no one thinks that this ghost mother is terrible. Director Xu said: "This image is disrespectful to women, but fortunately, the evil feudal forces have been overthrown, and millions of serfs in Tibet have been liberated, thanks to the chairman and his old man." ”

I said that of course, so let's not forget the people who dig the well, and we must not forget the chairman's teachings, and we must tighten the string of class struggle at all times. After saying these words for the occasion, he turned his head and asked the lama, what does that ghost mother do? Is it the watchdog of the feudal ruling class?

The lama took us to the lake behind the temple, singing mantras while walking, and said the origin of the ghost mother, it turned out that in the poems that narrated the deeds of the hero king, the biggest enemy of the Ling country is the demon country, the ghost mother is a person with a very high status in the demon country, and it is a general existence similar to the queen, who is responsible for the reincarnation of the demon monarch after death, and the ghost mother is also reincarnated again after each death, and if you want to completely eradicate the royal family of the demon country, you must kill the ghost mother, otherwise the nightmare of the Ling country will never stop.

In that era, death in people's eyes was divided into many levels, the death of the ghost mother, must be the end of her reincarnation of the complete extinction, as soon as it comes to these contents, we are not very willing to listen, so we speed up the pace of progress, and suddenly thought in my heart, the nine-story demon building hidden under the big glacier is the tomb of a demon noble, what a fucking ghost mother came out here, does this mean that a large area nearby, once the mausoleum area of the ancient demon country?

The area behind the broken temple is even more desolate and dilapidated, the old lama has never arrived, everyone is careful and vigilant at the moment, I have always been careless, but immersive, stepping on this piece with both feet, existing in the wasteland of ancient legends, I can't help but feel nervous, the lake behind the temple, now there is only a small pond left, the herdsmen came to report to the PLA, the place where the yak was dragged into the water, this is it, there are still many traces of struggle and drag on the ground, and it does not seem to be disguised by the enemy.

The water in the pond was almost all black, rotten grass and silt, and the smell was so foul that the four of us stood by the pond and didn't dare to gasp for breath, it was so stinky, and the big man pointed to a black thing in the water and said, "It looks like a military hat." ”

The big man stood on the edge of the pond, poked out the bayonet Ken gun, wanted to pick up the things in the water like sheep shearling wool hats to check, I was just about to stop him, suddenly the stinky water in the pond shook slightly, there seemed to be a huge cyan human hand, quietly emerging from the bottom of the water, trying to grab the big man and pull it in, I immediately raised the semi-automatic rifle that had already been loaded, and before my fingers were buckled to the plate, I heard a sudden burst of gunfire from the northwest, and the other group of people may have encountered an emergency.
