Chapter 185: The Singer of God
Turning the mountain or around the lake, is living on the roof of the world this special resistance to the unique way of worship, is a kind of animistic nature worship belief, and the Tibetan primitive religious concept of the same form of expression, conventional actions can be divided into two kinds, the first is the most ordinary, is walking, there is a more pious way, gloves on the board, high above the head, and then close the chest, the whole body falls, the forehead touches the ground, the five bodies throw to the ground, with their own body to measure the circumference of the sacred mountain and the lake little by little, every circumference, will reduce the sin, accumulate merit, and if you die on the way around the lake, it will be a kind of creation.
The actions of the Iron Rod Lama, not like he is circling the lake, but reminds me of the Northeast Dancing God, when he was in Inner Mongolia, he saw these things, he is not carrying out a ritual of exorcism? But what evil spirits will there be in the Holy Land? Thinking of this, I walked forward quickly.
The iron rod lama also recognized me, stopped his strange movements, came over to meet me, a farewell for more than ten years, the lama does not seem to have changed, but the clothes are more tattered, I told the lama about the current situation of my two comrades-in-arms, the lama also sighed: "The people who crashed into the tomb of demons, it is already the Buddha's grace to survive, I hope that in my lifetime, I can accumulate more merits by the lake, and pray for them." ”
Over the years, the lama has never left Ramlatso, every day is to recite sutras around the lake, food and clothing rely on the believers who come to the lake to worship, in fact, those pilgrims who come all the way to worship also receive alms on the road, and the alms to the saints are also a kind of accumulation of merit.
I asked what the lama was doing just now, and the iron rod lama said that the lama was divining from the medicine king Bodhisattva, because there were two poachers from the mainland who were hunting in nearby Nagusikiel, but these two people were novices, and they waited for five days, and they didn't see any decent animals. Finally, I saw a little beast that I had never seen before, and immediately shot it, peeled it and cooked it while it was fresh.
After the two poachers finished eating, they immediately rolled on the ground with stomach pain, and when the Tibetans found them, they were already unconsciousness and foaming at the mouth, there were no hospitals or monasteries here, and the medicine lamas in the Tibetan monasteries were responsible for treating the common people. Although the Iron Rod Lama is a Dharma protector, he also served as a medicine lama when he was young, and often treated Tibetans and pilgrims on the lakeside, so the Tibetans came to ask the Iron Rod Lama to save people.
When the Iron Rod Lama heard that it was poaching, he didn't want to take care of it, but the Dharma is so merciful that he couldn't help those who were dying, so he agreed and told the Tibetans to bring the two poachers. Nian Yu Kangyur prays to the Medicine King Bodhisattva for a way to save people.
As we spoke, six Tibetans carried the two poachers on their backs, and the lama ordered them to be placed flat on the ground, only to see that their faces were like gold paper. Breath like a gossamer. Foaming at the bottom of the mouth, the stomach is swollen, in my opinion, this symptom is not very strange, it stands to reason that eating unclean things, or malignant food poisoning may have this reaction, it is very dangerous, must be immediately sent to the hospital for first aid, I don't know if the iron rod lama with a few pills of Tibetan medicine, can save them.
The lama looked at the patient's symptoms and immediately frowned. He said to a few local Tibetans: "One of them has eaten too much and is no longer saved, and the other one is still saved, you go to the holy lake to find some dead fish and rotten white scales." ”
The Tibetans immediately went to the lake to look for one of the two poachers, the white foam from his mouth had turned purple, and he stopped breathing after a while, and the lama quickly asked me and Wangdui to help him pry open the teeth of the other person, and took two pills of Tibetan medicine and water for him to swallow, and the man was in a trance, barely eating half of it.
This Tibetan medicine has the spiritual effect of hanging life, after eating it, he immediately vomited a lot of black water, and the poacher who was alive in the dead and alive, although he still had a stomachache, had regained consciousness, and the lama asked him what he had eaten.
The poacher said that he and his dead companion had heard in the interior that Tibet could make a lot of money by hunting and selling skins, so they were carried away and wanted to make a windfall, but the two had no experience in hunting, and there were many animals in the no-man's land, so they did not dare to venture into it, so they had to wander around in the forest under the snow-capped mountains, trying to try their luck, even if it was good to hit the head of the Tibetan horse and bear.
In this way, I have been walking on the edge of the forest for five days, and I have not been able to hit anything, but I have eaten up the dry food I carried first, so I had to prepare Zheng Shang's luggage to go home, but I didn't want to leave, I saw a big black lynx, not much smaller than the goat, very ugly, not afraid of people, so that at first I mistook it for a leopard, and the two of them relied on the sharp firearms, fired several shots, and killed the big black lynx on the spot, just because the stomach was hungry, and I didn't care if the cat meat was delicious, and skinned it indiscriminately. I boiled the pot and ate half of it, but the fiber of the meat was very thick, and it seemed that it couldn't be cooked no matter how it was cooked, so I ate it half-cooked.
The poacher burst into tears, claiming that his two brothers, although they had a longing for a while, wanted to poach to make money, but after all, they didn't hit anything but this bobcat, and asked the lama medicine master to have mercy and save their lives, and they must be reformed in the future.
I remember hearing a Tibetan legend in Kunlun Mountain, that kind of huge black lynx, not a cat, is the evil of the new deceased, of course it can't be eaten, I asked the lama what to do, does this person still have a court?
The Lama said: "They eat probably snow-capped muskrats, that kind of animal can be eaten, but they eat it too early, the Tibetans never eat the animals slaughtered on the same day, because the souls of those animals have not completely detached from the body, once they are eaten, it will not be easy to do, I used to serve the Buddha, I have learned some secret recipes, as for whether it can work, it depends on their creation."
The Tibetans who had gone to the lake to look for rotting fish scales came back one after another, and together they found about a large handful, and the iron-roded lama surrounded the sick with the fish scales, and found a piece of rat-repellent ground finch forest that was burned into charcoal, mixed with rotten and smelly fish scales, and gave it to the poacher to eat.
After this series of strange actions, the poacher began to vomit again, this time more violently, vomiting all the contents of his stomach, and finally until he vomited water, the lama gave him Tibetan medicine to stop the vomiting.
The lama looked at him and said that this man's life was saved, but he could not eat meat in this life, and he would vomit more than once he ate meat.
The poacher knelt down and thanked the lama for saving his life, and asked the lama if he could bury his dead companion by the lake, and the lama said absolutely not, the Tibetans believe that only sinners should be buried in the earth, and the soul buried in Guili will never be liberated, and the sun will bask in the daytime, and the soul of Gui will feel as if it is boiling in a hot pot, and when the moonlight shines at night, it will feel like an ice cave, and the shiver will not be bearable, if it rains, it will feel like ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, and when the wind blows, it will feel like being cut by a thousand steel knives. It is unspeakably bitter, and there are eighteen heavenly burial platforms on the mountain not far from the shore of this lake, so let the body be placed there and let his soul be liberated.
The Lama explained that in Tibet, all methods of disposing of corpses, except for burials, were popular, but because of the lack of fuel for cremation, the corpses were generally carried to the burial platform on the top of the hill, that is, chopped up and shared with birds and beasts (the Persian Bombay Ranchism was similar), and if the deceased died from some dangerous contact with an infectious disease, burial was also customary.
In general, Tibetans oppose burial because they believe that burial will disturb the spirits of the dead, and even the corpses will become deadlocked, and the locals will feel uneasy if they insist on burying them here.
The poacher was finally persuaded by the lama to follow the local customs, with the help of several Tibetans, he carried the body of his companion to the heavenly burial platform on the top of the mountain, I saw that his duffel bag was slightly longer than the ordinary one, and there must be weapons and ammunition in it.
The poacher told me that the two guns were purchased from poachers in Qinghai, and that after he had disposed of the corpses of his companions, he went back to his hometown to live in peace, and that it was useless to keep the guns.
I looked at the two guns in the bag, it turned out to be a shotgun, a thunder lamp, the model is relatively old, 870 type 12 mm caliber, police car equipment version, a product of the fifties, but the maintenance is good, no wonder such a nimble animal as the muskrat is killed under the gun, and more than seventy bullets, respectively in two bullet bags on the shoulder, this kind of firearm is powerful within fifteen meters, but it does not seem appropriate to use it for hunting, attack long-distance targets or use assault rifles, which kind of weapon with a longer range is better, The shotgun could be used for self-defense melee combat, and in the end I ended up stuffing the money into him, and I kept the gun and bullets, including the packed duffel bag.
After these idlers dispersed, I explained to the lama that I wanted to find the ancient tomb of the evil god of the demon kingdom, and asked Lama Ake to find a singer and guide who was familiar with the history of the demon kingdom and the Neiling kingdom for our expedition.
The iron rod lama said that digging the ancient mound, plowing the cattle is a matter of harming the heavens and reason, but digging the ancient tombs of the demon country is different, the tomb of the demon country is sealed with demons, it is a big threat to the people, there are many monks with advanced cultivation in history, they all want to eliminate the demon protector, completely eradicate the ancient tombs of the demon country, and eliminate the evil gods from coming to the world again, but there are no clues, since you are willing to go, this is a good deed with immeasurable merits, and the singers who are familiar with the ancient deeds of Tibet are all God-granted, and they do not recognize the form of father-to-son, teacher-to-apprentice, It's all some people who have had a serious illness, and suddenly become able to sing millions of words of psalms, I was a person who was gifted by God before I became a monk, but I haven't said it for almost 30 years, the world's enemy Orb Hero, and the reincarnation of the Jade Eye Orb, those poems, alas... I'm almost losing my memory.
