The company commander disagreed, and said: "What are the ancient tombs, the Tibetan areas are all sky burials, where are the ancient tombs, it must be those spy turtles who made it terrifying, you won't use your brains to think about it, Ge Laozi, I don't believe it." ”

The old lama has been dealing with the Han people for a long time, the Chinese language is clear, seeing that the officers of the army do not believe it, they decided to follow us, so as not to alarm us to the fierce mountains and ghost lakes, the Tibetans are a people who worship the mountains and lakes, in their eyes, the mountains and lakes are the embodiment of the gods, in addition to the sacred mountains and holy lakes, there are also evil mountains, and unlucky lakes, but these places, are suppressed by Buddhism, the lama is worried that we Han people do not know what is going on, cause any trouble, but these words can not be said clearly from the mouth, so they have to say that they lead the way, Assist the Great Army.

When the company commander saw that the old lama volunteered to lead the way, of course he agreed, and said, "I want it." So he took our improvised reinforcement detachment and set off from the "Frozen Spring" military station.

I listened to what they said, and I thought to myself that our company commander was a good fighter in war, and although he had also been trained in ethnic policy before coming to Kunlun Mountain, his understanding of the ancient and mysterious place of Tibet was still too low.

At that time, I was not very old, and I only had a glimpse of the mausoleum culture and feng shui secret arts, but I knew that in Tibet, fire, water, earth, heaven, and pagoda had coexisted for thousands of years, and the burial was not nothing, but it was very special, and it was the most ominous kind of tomb in Tibet, which was taboo for normal people, and only those who committed great sins would be buried in the soil after death, and they would never be reincarnated.

Ten years later, I fully understood that the burial in Tibet was not as simple as I knew at the time, and that many nobles were influenced by sinicization in ancient times, and they were willing to accept the form of burial, on the Muri Mountain in the southwest of Qiongjie. There are a large number of tombs of Zongpu in the Tibetan Dynasty around the seventh and eighth centuries AD, and there are about 30 tombs. It is collectively called "the tomb of the king of Zao" by the world, all are square domes, up to tens of meters, made of earth and stone, the most famous buried in it is Songtsen Gampo, there are many people who say that this is the form of the tower burial ground, but its essence is no different from the mountain tomb of the Tang Dynasty.

However, at that time, these words naturally could not be said in the army. As a revolutionary soldier. It is to obey orders and listen to commands, and do whatever the superiors tell you to do.

From the place where we started, to the "Great Phoenix Temple" at the mountain pass, the distance is not far, but there is no road, the mountains are rugged, extremely difficult to walk, and the altitude difference is very large. Thousands of miles of different days, it is still snowing on the mountain beam, but it is like spring all year round under the mountain. The desolate "Big Phoenix Temple" area is a no-man's land, just because there is a barren meadow that grows green all year round in front of the mountain gate here, and occasionally some Tibetan herdsmen go there to play some winter grass for emergency, because the mountains there are not good, the lake is not good, and there are often people and livestock who disappear inexplicably, so if the herdsmen can not go, they still try not to go.

The lama led his old horse to carry things, led the way in the front, walked for nearly half a day, turned a few mountain bends, the snow suddenly became bigger, the sky lead clouds hung low, goose feather-like snow flakes, scattered all over the world, the undulating Kunlun Mountains all around, like layers of solidified white waves, as far as the eye can see, everywhere is covered with silver and jade, frost and snow, although the weather of heavy snow is magnificent, but to the people who trek on the ridge, has brought a lot of difficulties.

Director Xu and Lu Weiguo, the two members of our team, who are slightly inferior in physical strength, walked higher and higher, but the sky gradually darkened, and they invariably appeared a mild plateau reaction, it seems that they have to climb over the ridge in front of them to reach the big Phoenix Temple at the pass, and the company commander conveyed the order, first find a sheltered place, let everyone rest a little, eat something to replenish their strength, and then march to the destination in one go.

So our team stopped temporarily, the female military doctor Ga Hong who came with the team, is a Deqin Tibetan, formerly known as Gema, which means stars in Tibetan, Ga Hong checked it for Xu and said it doesn't matter, it is too long to walk continuously, and the cardiopulmonary function has declined, resulting in this situation, this is a mountain recess, the altitude is not too high, drink a few bowls of butter tea that can reduce altitude sickness, and rest for a while, there will be no problem, and the medicine is not needed.

The old lama found a big stone, on the leeward side, built a stove with gravel, made a small fire with dried cow dung, boiled the butter tea and distributed it to us, and finally sent it to me and the big man, the old lama smoked the prayer wheel in one hand and the teapot in the other, poured the tea into the bowl, and then said: "May it be auspicious." ”

I was already frozen enough, thanked the lama, raised my neck and drank the whole bowl of butter tea, wiped my mouth, I never thought that this messy thing with sesame, salt, ghee, tea and other messy things, mixed into a drink is nothing good, now in this ice and snow, come to such a hot bowl, suddenly feel that there is nothing better than it in the world.

When the female military doctor Gema saw that I was drinking fast, she asked the lama for a teapot and poured me a bowl again: "Drink slowly, don't burn your mouth, the custom in Tibetan areas is that when drinking tea, you can't drink too cleanly, you should leave a bowl bottom, so that you can show that the owner is generous." After saying that, he smiled at me and turned around to help the lama make tea.

I looked at her back and said to the big man beside me, "I think the military doctor is so good, and he treats his comrades as warmly as spring, especially like my sister." ”

The big man said strangely: "You still have a sister in your hometown?" Why haven't I heard you say that? What does it look like? Take a look at the whole picture. ”

I was just about to tell the big man that I had such a beautiful and amiable sister when I dreamed, but the sentry correspondent suddenly shouted, "There is a situation! ”

The people who had been around the fire to keep warm immediately raised their feet and kicked the snow as if their whole bodies were electrified, extinguished the fire, and quickly fell to the ground.

The company commander lay on the snow and looked around vigilantly, and opened his mouth to scold: "What's the situation?" Chen Xing, you turtle, dare to lie about the military situation, Lao Tzu shot him first, do you believe it or not?"

Correspondent Chen Xing shouted in a low voice: "Company commander, I vouch for it with my head, I am indeed not mistaken, just now on the top of the mountain over there, a few green lights suddenly lit up. ”

I said to the company commander: "Will it be like the one played in the secret outpost in Yangcheng, it is a contact signal sent by the enemy, I don't know if we have been exposed." Just let me go over and scout for it. ”

The company commander nodded and said, "Yes, when you go, you should be cautious." It's better to catch one alive, hey...... It's not right. ”

I saw that in a place dozens of meters away from us, five small turquoise lights suddenly appeared, because the sky was dark, the surface of the barren mountains was covered with snow, and it was difficult to distinguish the terrain over there, these five green lights moved slowly with the wind and snow, like a few ghost fires, flickering bright and dark, and circled around us.

This one comes. We all lifted our semi-automatic rifles. Aiming at the target, but the company commander said that no one was allowed to shoot until he figured out the situation, the old horse in the lama land suddenly neighed, and kept pouting, the lama hurriedly led the horse, stroked its mane and chanted the sutra to appease, and then told us: "The protector god in charge of animal husbandry has been alarmed, it is a pack of wolves." ”

I looked at the fluttering. Of the five green bright spots that appear from time to time, is there one one-eyed? As soon as I entered Kunlun Mountain, I heard from the veterans of the military station. In the nearby Mojan grassland, there is a one-eyed white-haired wolf king, but recently the military and civilians have cooperated, and the wolves have been beaten a lot, and the herd has almost disappeared.

Three wolves circled around us a few times, the company commander let the big man shoot in the sky, to scare them away, so as not to attract more hungry wolves, cause us unnecessary trouble, the current urgent task is not to fight wolves, but to quickly search and rescue those comrades who are missing, so the big man fired a gun into the air, a domestic five or six semi-automatic rifle, the unique sound of gunfire pierced the night sky.

A few wolves around, seem to know the power of the weapons in the hands of our soldiers, dare not continue to stay, soon by the night, disappeared in the wind and snow, the company commander said that maybe the squad in front, on the way back, was attacked by wolves, but then I thought, this possibility is not very likely, more than a dozen semi-automatic rifles, how many wolves can not get closer, now the weather is bad, compared to the wolves, more terrible is the enemy who infiltrates the mountains, and there are many potential threats, The unaccounted for squad must be found immediately.

We set off immediately, climbed over a large ridge, walked down a very steep hillside, below is the barren meadow, there is no snow here, the temperature is relatively high, it is still very cold, everywhere is barren smoke and withered grass, the dilapidated and desolate "Great Phoenix Temple" is hidden in the barren grass.

The meadow is surrounded by ancient wood wolf forests, and the area is really not small, we are not many people, and it is not easy to search such a large area, so we are divided into two groups at the moment, the company commander and the communicator, the cook, Lu Weiguo of the Dikan Academy, and the military doctor Ga Hong, these five people are a group, and the rest are the big men, lamas, and Xu Officer, and then these four people together with me, for the second group, and the company commander arranges the second group to be in charge of me for the time being.

The two groups searched from the left and right flanks respectively, and I took the second group to push away the grass that was nearly one person high, and groped my way into the depths with a gun, and pushed away the wild grass, and I could see the ancient stone remnants that were covered up and covered up, which were all the remains of the Qing Dynasty temples, and I thought that these ruins could just confirm the direction, so I wanted to continue walking, but I was pulled by the old lama, and he said to me: "Hey, the Puse army, this road is not for people to walk." (Puse: Young People)

I thought to myself, it's not for people, so it's not for ghosts? He said to the lama: "The people's country is the people's seat, the people's road is taken by the people, and in China, no matter whether it is a big road or a small road, it is a socialist road, why don't you let it go?"

Officer Xu felt that I was talking too impulsively, so he stopped me and said, "The local comrades are cooperating with us in carrying out our tasks, and I think we should listen to their opinions more." ”

The lama took out an old iron rod from his colorful satchel and said: "I have been an iron rod lama for two generations of living Buddhas for 40 years, and I know everything about this temple. After saying that, he walked around from the side, and sang the scriptures as he walked: "Oh, Jin Gang subdues the evil demons, and the magic powers are forty-five, and I have achieved the right cultivation, and I have made a appearance in all the enemies, and all the demons are extinguish......ed."

None of us understood the meaning of the mantra he sang, thinking that this was in the interior, and the Red Guards had already been asked to criticize the fight, that is, in the Tibetan area, so I had to follow behind, and asked the lama without words: "Old comrade...... Lama Ak, since you are so familiar with this ruined temple, can you tell us why this temple was abandoned soon after it was built?"

When the lama heard this, he stopped and turned around, and a dark cloud appeared on his old face: "Legend has it that the last generation of the Demon Kingdom Ghost Mother and the Great Cicada Extermination Demon Bowl are buried here, and even the Great Weide Golden Steel offered in the temple can't stop it, and the matter is fierce, and there are too many people and animals to die, so they have to be deserted." ”
