Looking at the dense crowd of slaves here, Li Li sighed lightly: "Let's go!" ”
Before this, he wanted to do something, but after coming here, he found that he couldn't do anything, he was not a savior, he couldn't help these people, even if his ninth-order strength could kill the soldiers here, but he couldn't take away these tens of thousands of slaves, and besides, slaves like this can be seen everywhere in the Snowy Empire, if not millions, at least hundreds of thousands, he can only sigh with the strength of one person.
Jiang Bai and Han Luojia looked at Li Li suspiciously, Li Li called them just now, but now they were about to leave after taking a look, which made them a little confused, Li Li's inner changes, of course they didn't know, but the two didn't ask much, and still left Wanger Town with Li Li.
After the three of them left the slave trading ground, they rushed directly to Xiahe County, and now the three of them have no means of transportation and rely on their feet, but the three of them are all superpowers, needless to say, their physical strength is naturally needless to say, and the beautiful scenery along the way makes Li Li feel a little relaxed.
The creek here is very clear, this clarity can really reach the realm of the fish swimming in the water, not only that, there are a lot of fish in the creek here, dense, and not afraid of people, see the figure reaction to gather.
"Jiang Bai or we will camp here at night, and dinner will be them." Li Li pointed to the group of fish in the stream, he saw so many fish for the first time, such a clear stream made him have the urge to jump down and take a bath, he has a soft spot for fish since he was a child, not only likes to eat fish, but also likes to enjoy fish and raise fish.
Jiang Bai heard that Li Li wanted the fish here for dinner, and looked at Li Li with a strange look, which made Li Li a little puzzled.
"Boss, the fish here grew up eating dead bodies, and I don't have an appetite for these fish." Han Luojia's eyes rolled, she had been in Xiahe County for more than a year, and she was very familiar with this creek, and the people in the snowy region here chose this place as their water burial site.
Li Li carefully looked at the fish in the water with disbelieving eyes, and after observing for a long time, he didn't find anything special about these fish, all of them were all ordinary freshwater fish.
"There are piranhas, too, with toothless mouths." Li Li looked at the dense schools of fish in the stream, and looked at Han Luojia suspiciously, the water was full of extremely ordinary plateau cold-water fish.
Han Luojia glanced at Li Li, snorted lightly and explained: "Boss, the people of the Snowy Land have a custom called water burial, and this small river is the water burial location they chose. ”
"Water burial?" The look of doubt on Li Li's face was even stronger, he had heard this term for the first time.
"Boss, after the death of the people in the snowy region, there are four burial methods are sky burial, water burial, tower burial and earth burial, among which water burial is generally a child who died in infancy and a person of general status, that is, to strip people naked, and then put them in the water, and wait for these fish to eat them all, so the people in the snowy region generally do not eat the fish here, even if they want to eat fish, they will eat the grass carp transported in from outside, and will never eat the freshwater fish native here." Jiang Bai smiled slightly and pointed to the schools of fish swimming in the stream.
"Also, when the people of the Snowy Land here see you fishing, they will stone you, and they think that these fish have eaten the corpses of dead people, and they have spirituality." Han Luojia added.
"Oh!" Li Li nodded, he finally understood why there were so many schools of fish here, it turned out that no one came to catch them, and every once in a while there were still human flesh to eat, so these schools of fish had to gather when they saw people coming.
Thinking of this, his appetite is gone, and these schools of fish can't arouse his interest, although the schools of fish may have eaten corpses, but after the transformation of the body into fish, in fact, it is no different from eating other things to grow up, and people will not have any effect if they eat it, but due to the psychological effect, he has no appetite at all.
The sky also slowly darkened in the chatter of the three of them, four or five hours of travel, the three of them had already walked from Wangger Town to Damai Township, Li Li also learned a lot about the living habits of the people in the snowy region, as well as the customs and customs here.
Li Li is particularly interested in the reincarnation of the Snowy Buddhism, it is said that every generation of the Snowy Buddhism will be reincarnated after the Buddha sits, and then the believers of Buddhism will find the reincarnated spirit child through a certain method.
In addition to these, under Han Luojia's popular science, Li Li finally knew the origin of the poem "You see or don't see,,,,, you love or not, love is in the ,,,", which was originally created by a lama named Cangyang Gyatso, and then adapted by Ram Duoduo, he couldn't imagine that a Buddhist believer could write such an aphrodisiac verse.
Unexpectedly, Han Luojia is also a young girl, and learned in the chat that her favorite poetry collection is adapted by Ram Duoduo, these poetry collections are very aphrodisiac and beautiful, but Li Li has no interest in these at all, because too perfect love is untouchable after all.
Besides, Li Li has lived in a small county since he was a child, his parents are ordinary people, struggling with food and clothing every day, he is just an assembly line operator after graduation, and after deducting insurance a month, he only has an income of more than 2,000 yuan, such a standard of living is destined to his concept of love.
For Korean dramas or some mainland romantic dramas, Li Li has never been cold, there are almost handsome guys and beautiful girls in the movie, even if it is an ugly girl as the heroine, but in the end, she will counterattack and become a beauty, and these TVs have a common feature, they are all rich and handsome sons and daughters who fall in love with a beautiful **silk girl.
The gap between the life in the movie and Li Li's real life is too big, working on the assembly line for more than ten hours a day, tired like a dog, where does the energy come from like in the movie, so noisy, love comes and goes, and all the energy is spent on love, the love in the movie does not consider life, everything revolves around love, it is because of love that love is love, and it is very desirable.
Han Luojia is different, she can become a fighter pilot in her early twenties, in addition to excellent skills and physical fitness, that is her family background, her family background is destined to her life will not worry about life, and she will never be able to experience the boring and boring work of the factory assembly line, and she can't experience working more than ten hours a day, working overtime on weekends without rest, only 2,000 yuan of life, she pilots a fighter for an hour, which is equivalent to Li Li's work for several months, Such an environment has created a difference in the understanding of love between the two.
"What's up ahead?" During the small talk, Li Li suddenly saw that the hill in front of him was full of people, among which there were several lamas wearing yellow lama clothes and chicken hats.
"That's the Labutan Temple that was relocated here from next to the county seat of Xiahe." Han Luojia looked at the crowded mountain and said indifferently.
Jiang Bai stared for a moment and said, "Could it be that an important person in the Snowy Empire has died?" ”
"Perhaps? Otherwise, how could a sky burial be held? Han Luojia didn't care at all, it didn't seem to be strange, in the more than a year she lived in Xiahe County, she had seen a lot of sky burials and water burials.
"Sky burial?" Li Li looked at Han Luojia, he had heard Jiang Bai say that there were four burial methods for people in the Snow Domain, and one of them was the heavenly burial.
"Generally, after the death of a snowy person with an identity, he is qualified to hold a sky burial, as for the burial method, don't ask me, you can go and see it yourself if you are curious." Han Luojia shrugged her shoulders and made a reluctant expression, as if she was very reluctant to talk about this heavenly burial.
Li Li smiled slightly, shook his head, and said directly without asking, "Go and have a look." ”
"Shall you go? I'm not going. Han Luojia pouted and stood still.
"Then you are not allowed to run around, just wait for us in the same place." Li Li didn't force Han Luojia, but just gave him a slight advice, after all, the distance between the two places is not far.
"Uncle, I'm not a two- or three-year-old child." Han Luojia rolled her eyes, looking helpless, although her youth was similar to Li Li, she always felt that Li Li was an uncle and had to tell her everything.
Li Li was speechless, he actually became an uncle, he called Jiang Bai to rush directly to the Labu Temple on the hill not far ahead, he is a person who likes to hunt for curiosities, he likes to pay attention to those strange things since he was a child, when he was a child, his favorite is 100,000 whys, a brief history of time, and the theory of relativity.
Ten minutes later, Li Li and Jiang Bai came to the top of the mountain Lab Dun Temple, on the way Jiang Bai explained to him in detail the burial customs of the people in the snowy region, the sky burial is only allowed by the identity of the person, the tower burial is generally lama and Buddhist people, the water burial is the child who died young, and the earth burial is the lowest burial method, used for prisoners and former slaves.
When I came to Labu Monastery, I saw three lamas constantly rotating around a middle-aged man lying on the ground and chanting sutras, while the rest of the people were silent, and after a few minutes, the ceremony was over, and the lama carried the body of the deceased to a rooftop at the back of the temple.
The next scene made Li Li understand why Han Luojia was reluctant to come up and watch, only to see these lamas cut the corpse of the middle-aged man with a knife and divided it into countless pieces, and the slightly black blood splattered everywhere, and the bones of the deceased were slaughtered.
Ten minutes later, the corpse of the middle-aged man was all decomposed into countless small pieces, at the same time, there were a few goshawks circling in the sky, and slowly added a few more, after the lama finished decomposing the corpse, the whole body was already stained with blood, especially the hands were full of blood, a lama in the process of decomposing the corpse with a hand stained with blood on the forehead lightly, his whole face instantly looked very hideous.
After decomposing the corpse, everyone slowly avoided under the lama's instructions, and while the crowd avoided, the goshawk in the air swooped down and landed next to the corpse that had turned into pieces, and then the goshawk slowly ate the minced meat.
There are more and more goshawks, it seems that these goshawks are no strangers to these, and they often enjoy these delicacies, and after a while, more than a dozen goshawks appeared next to the fragments of the corpse, and it was the first time for Li Li to see so many goshawks gathered together.
After a while, the goshawks flew away one after another, and some goshawks also flew in, and the fragments of the corpses became fewer and fewer, and almost all that remained were bones.
An hour passed, and the goshawk almost flew away, leaving a pile of bloody white bones on the rooftop, and then the lama went up to collect the white bones, and then crushed these white bones and put them into the barley noodles, and kept kneading them with both hands, and finally kneaded the barley noodles mixed with bone meal into small balls, and put them on the roof again.
A few minutes later, the goshawk reappeared in the air, circled a few times and landed on the rooftop, pecking at the barley noodles.
Seeing this, Li Li finally understood what a heavenly burial was, and just when he was about to leave, he actually saw that those lamas had not washed their hands, and their hands were still stained with blood, so he picked up the barley noodles and put them in his mouth, at this moment, he was slightly nauseated.
"Don't be surprised bosses, they're used to it." Jiang Bai saw Li Li's wide eyes, and explained with a slight smile, Jiang Bai has already seen this kind of situation, these lamas often help people with sky burials, and after a long time, they have become accustomed to these, just like a person who specializes in makeup for the dead, facing all kinds of dead people every day, some died in car accidents with broken heads, and they also have to help others put on makeup, and over time, they also feel normal in the face of broken corpses.
These lamas are equivalent to the makeup artists of the funeral home, the sky burial is their job, almost a few days to help people to bury the sky, a long time is also immune to blood, also immune to the corpse, and it is not convenient to wash hands here, there is no running water pipe, there is no well, so after a long time, even if the hands stained with blood can pick up the barley noodles and stuff them into the mouth.
Moreover, Jiang Bai also told Li Li that these lamas do not have a high social status in the Xueyu tribe, but their income is extremely high.
