Chapter Sixty-Seven: Radiant
Guan Wen did not mention to Bao Ling about the ghost incident that happened in the library room, and like Bao Ling, he was looking forward to coming out and uncovering Princess Asaka's plan to "eliminate demons".
Baoling said that she was tired, and the two sat cross-legged and meditated.
Yoga meditation, also known as mantra meditation, comes from Sanskrit. "Mantra" can be divided into two parts, namely "man" (man) and "tra" (tra). "Man" means "mind", "tra" means "to lead away", and "mantra" means to be able to lead people's hearts away from their worldly thoughts, worries, thoughts, burdens, etc., beyond worldly ignorance, passions, and hopes, and finally enter the state of "concentration" of jing.
At first, Guan Wen's thinking focused on the east window, and "when will it come out" became a huge burden on him. Gradually, his mood was like the sea retreating, forgetting the problem, forgetting where he was, forgetting himself, and entering a state of drifting with the tide and being calm.
"The guidance of the heart is better than any guide, and no one can stop me from going. In this life, if you can't do that, what's the point of living? Although we are of different races and speak different languages across the snow-capped mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, I must go to crush the darkness and ignorance, calm the war in all directions, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and make the foot of the snow-capped mountains a state of heaven......"
Someone whispered in Guan Wen's ear, the voice of a young woman who was completely unfamiliar.
"The life and death of a person is like a river compared to the life and death of people in the world. I must climb over the snow-capped mountains and go straight to Tibet, and see the heroes who stand on the top of the sky......"
Guan Wen opened his eyes suddenly, and there was a white-haired woman standing under the east window. Her long hair hung down to the ground like a dazzling white waterfall.
Outside the window, the sky has turned white, and there is silence on all sides.
Guan Wen looked to the side, and Baoling was not around.
"All the elders said that there was no certainty. They also said that across the snow-capped mountains, the Rakshasa witch would not intrude on the Nepalese border, so it was better to be in peace. Wrong, I know they're all wrong, this is the only opportunity, don't miss it, don't miss it. Even if there is no one to support me, I will do it, I will never regret it, and I will never look back......"
Guan Wen stood up and silently detoured back to the woman's side.
The silhouette of the woman was perfect like a famous painting carved by Jing's heart, but the strange length of her silver hair made her look very strange.
"Who are you?" The woman realized Guan Wen's existence and slowly turned around.
Her facial features are more moving than the silhouette, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her eyes are beautiful.
"Who are you?" Guan Wen asked rhetorically.
"Hmph, you're sent by some elders to spy on me, right? Go back and tell them that I have sent a message from the Eagle to the people on the other side of the snow-capped mountains, and in a few days they will send messengers to meet me. As long as I decide something, no one wants to change it. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, her brows furrowed slightly with anger, and she didn't pay attention to Guan Wen at all.
"I am—" Guan Wen smiled bitterly, "I just want to ask, where did Baoling go?"
"What? What do you say?" The woman also asked rhetorically.
Guan Wen replied solemnly: "I don't care if you are Princess Chaoge or not, as long as my friend Baoling is fine."
Since Kahler said that Princess Asaka's soul has always stayed in the Manor of Natsuri Palace, then Guan Wen believes that the strange woman in front of her is the legendary Princess Asaka.
"What do you say? What princess of Asaka? I'm—"
Before the woman finished speaking, in the eastern sky, a round of red rimmon suddenly jumped out from the top of the mountain, and the glow of the sun shone into the east window, illuminating the meditation room in a colorful and brilliant light.
The light came suddenly, causing Guan Wen's eyes to sting, and he didn't dare to look directly, so he could only close his eyes and bow his head. By the time he opened his eyes again, the woman was gone.
"Hey, Baoling, where are you?" Guan Wen shouted loudly, his body shook suddenly, and he suddenly woke up from his daze.
It turned out that he did not go to the window, but he was still sitting under the west wall, and Baoling was meditating with his eyes closed at a distance of an arm's length. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then looked up at the east window, the morning light was coming, and the east sky was only faintly shining.
"What's going on? Is it a dream?"
He was suspicious, and the Treasure Bell also let out a rapid shout: "Wait a minute, who are you?" Who the hell are you?"
Then Baoling opened her eyes, jumped up, and looked around the room. After she read Guan Wen clearly, she sighed three times in a row and was silent.
"Looks like we're all asleep?" Guan Wen asked with a long sigh. Although it was a dream, the woman with long silver hair was so real, as if someone in his life suddenly appeared close at hand and suddenly disappeared from the end of the world, as fast as lightning, leaving only sighs all over the ground.
"You're dreaming too? What did you dream about?" Bao Ling stood in front of the window, stroking the lattices of different shapes.
"I dreamed of a woman with long hair mopping the floor, standing in your place. I thought she was Princess Asaka, but she didn't admit it—"
"Of course she's not Princess Asaka!" "She's a complete stranger, and she's never been in my dreams. ”
Both of them were startled at the same time, feeling that things were getting more and more weird.
Dawn finally came, and the stained glass in the windows lit up.
Guan Wen saw the empty rectangular room clearly, and there was no furniture except for the old-fashioned palace armchair that was placed upright in front of the window. The wall panels were black, stretching from the floor to the roof, and the messy handwriting was probably carved with a quick knife, reaching deep into the bottom of the planks. The tip of the knife went over, revealing the pale oak stubble.
He concentrated on reading the italic text, and felt that some of the sentences were extremely familiar—"The detailed husband Tianzhu is also a country, and its origin is still there." The sages stacked it up, and benevolence and righteousness became customary. However, the matter is absolutely in the Yu Dynasty, separated by the Middle Earth, the "Book of Mountains" Mo Zhiji, and the "Wang Hui" is not written. Bowang chiseled the air, and put it in vain in Qiongzhu; Kunming is closed, and the fallacy is reckless in the divine pool. So that the stars of Rui watch are mysterious for thousands of years; Dream Zhang Peiri, the secret god light is in the ...... of thousands of miles"
These seemed to be sentences from an ancient book he had read before, with obscure meanings and awkward sentences. Traditional Chinese characters are inherently complex, very different from the Chinese Simplified Chinese that Guan Wen learned, and the person who engraved the characters was extremely sloppy when he laid the knife, so he could only avoid those unrecognizable parts and jump and read.
"The mage is young and gradually methodical, and he is only in the garden; Long with true deeds, looking up to the deer and the heart. The pure state of clothes is really reserved. The west of the wind will be the east of the law, and the three years of Zhenguan will be followed by the cane. The spirit of the emperor resists the customs, and takes great risks; If you are afraid of the path, you will be in danger. The cold migrated suddenly, and the exhibition turned to arrive. Words seek the truth, and cannot be seen in the void; Bu Jingwei. Smell is not heard in the moment of life and death. Kuoqun is suspicious of Xinghai, and Qimiaojue is in the maze......"
After reading this paragraph, Guan Wen had already guessed which ancient book it was, but in order to make a final decision, he still read it patiently - "There are 110 countries for the practitioners, and 28 countries for the rumors, or the matter is seen in the previous canon, or the name begins in the present generation." Don't eat and drink, and know how to return after a while; Please pay attention to the sound of the officials, and the ladder mountain is enshrined. Joy and joy in the court, the crown belt into a group. The difference between the products and the terroir, the difference in the customs and the mountains and rivers, is far from the national classics......"
Guan Wen understood that these words covering the western wall came from the book "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".
"The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", referred to as "The Records of the Western Regions", was dictated by Tang Xuanzang, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, and compiled by the edict of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" consists of 12 volumes, written in the 20th year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty (646 AD), which is a record of Xuanzang's travels in India and the Western Regions during his 19 years.
That set of ancient books is more than a thousand years old, and even in the mainland, modern people rarely mention it.
But why are the words in the book engraved here? Obviously, the place where the eminent monk Xuanzang sought scriptures was India, and it had little to do with Nepal. Princess Chaoge is a native of Nepal, so is there any special significance in reciting and carving these words?" The confusion in Guan Wen's heart deepened.
When he left Tashilhunpo Monastery, he thought that Baoling would be able to find some relics of Princess Chaoge in the palace of Xiari, and get clues to exorcise demons. Now, a simple incident that is obviously a family equal to two has developed into a confusing, terrifying and weird suspense drama.
"What are you thinking?" Baoling asked, "The morning sun is about to rise." ”
The morning light was projected on her face through the glass, forming dozens of drifting colored halos.
Guan Wenchang sighed and replied: "I'm reading these words, is it also related to the path of Princess Chaoge's demon eradication?"
"True meditation is not about asking questions, it's about answering. Predecessors in the field of psychology often say that when a person asks a question, the answer is already stored in his subconscious. It is precisely because he has the desire to explain a certain problem in his heart that he will create the surface appearance of that problem. The question is the table, the answer is the inside, and the question and answer are wonderful. Baoling whispered faintly.
"But—" Guan Wen certainly understood this point of view, but he searched his stomach and couldn't find an answer.
"This is a meditation room, a place that brings out the potential within a person. Don't speak, gaze into your heart, listen to your heart, the answer is there. The two men were less than ten paces apart, but Baoling's voice slowly became distantly distant and hollow, as if it had come from a long tunnel.
Answer...... Answer...... "Guan Wen closed his eyes, sat down on the spot, and tried to empty his mind and let himself enter the unconscious realm where his thoughts flew freely.
Suddenly, he remembered the tragic death of Master Cheng and the descendants of the Tang Dynasty Three Thousand Volts Demon Master in the Lhasa Secret Realm, and some information in his mind was quickly intertwined: "Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, Three Thousand Volt Demon Master of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng and Princess Qizun, Datang and Nepal...... The Tang Dynasty Western Regions, "Journey to the West", one of China's four famous novels adapted from this book, and Master Cheng's general surnamed Sun burrowed into the witch's body......"
He carefully recalled Master Cheng's original words, it should be like this-
"The first time the demon suppression suffered a fiasco, the witch's power was beyond imagination, and the first batch of demon masters who rushed in were all wiped out and died in the flames spewed by the witch. The second group of demon subduers changed the time and place of the ambush, and finally trapped her by taking advantage of the cold night and heavy snow on the snowy plateau to extinguish the flames. In the confrontation between good and evil, most of the demon masters ran out of strength and turned into the puppets you see now. At that time, the good and evil sides were evenly matched, and the streets were on the street for a long time. A general surnamed Sun was inspired by the 'goshawk grabbing', and he burrowed into the body of the offering cow, let the witch swallow it, and slashed at the witch's body, forcing the witch to retreat into the leylines. General Sun did not retreat with his whole body, but ignited the explosives and fell into the bottomless abyss with a fireball. The rest of the demon masters have set up a soul barrier here to prevent the witch from returning. Later, the second generation of demon masters set up mandala seals, Mani walls, Mani piles, plank roads to guard the demon circles and other insurance means......"
He repeatedly recited the words "General surnamed Sun let the witch swallow it", as if a beam of light shot into his mind, and the tangled questions were revealed layer by layer: "Isn't this passage the part of the monster novel "Journey to the West" where Sun Wukong drilled into the belly of Princess Iron Fan to subdue demons?" Isn't the witch's flame the mountain of flames in the novel? In the novel, the Jade Emperor sent the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to assist Sun Wukong in subduing the Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess, wouldn't it be that the Tang Emperor sent three thousand demon masters to assist Princess Wencheng to go to Xizàng to suppress demons? Princess Iron Fan pleaded guilty and surrendered after defeat instead of being killed on the spot, isn't it just that one king and two princesses can only 'suppress demons' and fail to 'eliminate demons'......"
