Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tortoise Shell Left Behind by the Debate
"Guan Wen, now we will only talk about the tortoise shell and "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", not about the doubtful case. From that book, it can be seen that Master Xuanzang's route of learning scriptures is Chang'an, Qinzhou, Lanzhou, Liangzhou, Guazhou, Yumenguan, Xinjiāng, this line has been going to the northwest, and later entered the border of Gurgyzstan, through the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Shiguo, Kangguo, Miguo, Cao, He, Anguo, Shiguo, through the territory of Uzbekistan, over the famous iron gate in the history of Central Asia into Afghanistan, continue to the south, through the Great Snow Mountain, Pakistan Peshawar City and enter India. Such a route is tantamount to avoiding, making a big detour and turning several times the distance to reach the destination. How so?"
This strange roadmap has been the subject of great debate on Baidu and Google, attracting countless historians and archaeologists.
Most historians believe that since the Han and Tang dynasties, the northern ethnic minorities have repeatedly invaded the south, and the Central Plains regime has been too busy to deal with such intermittent provocations and is unable to explore more areas to the southeast, south, and southwest. Therefore, Master Xuanzang traveled westward and was accustomed to advancing along the pass guarded by Tang Dynasty soldiers, because the star city along the way had been marked on the marching map, which could barely be regarded as a "familiar road". After reaching the farthest point of Zhongyāng's centralized power, he obtained the path to the south from the maps of other countries, and then turned south.
Physicists and geographers believe that because there is no advanced instrument to survey the direction, Master Xuanzang is very confused about the direction of learning scriptures from the west. That's why he went around the huge circle and traveled far away. This proves that China's long-distance travel and ocean-going technology is not advanced. Otherwise, why did Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, have the ability to lead the fleet to the West in the prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty?
"Allure, why do you bring up this topic? What do you mean -- there's also some connection between the debate and the exorcism?"
"That's right." Gu Tingcheng stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the car accelerated to the limit, "After meeting Baoling, we will be able to uncover the secret of the tortoiseshell." This time, we must succeed, only in this way can we not miss again in samsara. ”
Guan Wen stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand was on the back of Gu Qingcheng's right hand holding the steering wheel.
"Don't worry, after encountering you in this life, I will never forget you again." He said.
Gu Qingcheng smiled with tears: "Thank you, I only know now why I don't feel it in this life, no matter how well others treat me, because I live just to wait for you to come."
She flicked the button on the record player and whispered tearfully, "Listen to this song, this song I love."
The carriage slowly sounded the affectionate duet of Taiwanese singers Su Rui and Yu Huanping:
"I walk at the same pace,
It is to coincide with your arrival.
In the midst of panic and hesitation,
Please follow me.
I look forward to it with dreams,
It's a feeling that can't be pressed.
When you're not looking,
Please come with me......"
Guan Wen opened his mouth to say something, but Gu Qingcheng suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth, smiled and shook his head.
The record player just sang, "Don't say anything, that's a world you can't predict." Don't say it, you don't have to say it, your eyes have already told me ......"
That kind of lyrics is exactly what they are thinking about at this moment. The road ahead is unknown, and no words can explain the complicated feelings at this moment. As long as the heart is in touch, everything is in the words.
Back at the guest house, Guan Wen and Gu Tingcheng got the biggest surprise - the snake venom in their bodies had been cleaned up, and their bodies recovered very quickly.
When they entered the house, Shirt was sitting on the couch with a drip in his hands and a calm smile in his eyes.
"Are you alright? That's great! Gu Qingcheng was so happy that he clapped his hands again and again.
"Sister Gu, you can't die with a little injury. Besides, with your good friends and the good brothers outside, how can I be willing to die? Gao Xiang came to visit me just now, and said that Miss Baoling is visiting the piece of tortoise shell that she brought back from the Xia Ri Palace, and she needs your help. Don't waste time here, go. ”
It can be seen that the shirt has completely recovered, and he is full of anger when he speaks.
The big stone on Guan Wen's heart was finally put down, and he sincerely admired: "Shirt, your body is really good." This morning, the doctor also told him that he needed to recuperate for at least half a year before he could go to the ground. ”
In fact, the original words of the doctor were stricter, judging that the cranial nerves and central nervous systems were deeply eroded by snake venom, and it was difficult to leave a lifelong disability and become a vegetative person.
Xi laughed: "I used to work hard in the rivers and lakes, I don't dare to say anything else, survival skills and survival consciousness are stronger than ordinary people, as long as there is a glimmer of life, I will never admit defeat lightly." Don't worry about me, let's go see Miss Baoling. ”
The two immediately returned to the family hotel, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Gao Xiang sitting on the steps at the door of Baoling, with a cigarette butt thrown in front of him.
"Hey, it's great you're back, shhhhhh
He lowered his voice and explained: "Baoling has been alone in the house for more than four hours, the curtain is hanging, and I can't see anything. Just now I knocked on the door and gave her water, but I was also refused, saying that I don't want to see anyone except the two of you. ”
Gu Qingcheng went up the steps and knocked lightly on the door.
"Guan Wen, what happened to you in Nepal? I feel that Baoling has completely changed after coming back, and it is different from before. Also, has a solution been found for the black hole in Mount Nisser? I've found a few friends in the rivers and lakes who have Jingtong explosion technology, and I have also brought a large number of them, which is enough to ......"
"Guan Wen." Gu Qingcheng turned around and shouted, interrupting Gao Xiang's chatter.
The door had already opened, and Gu Qingcheng beckoned Guan Wen to come in and put Gao Xiang aside.
The most important task at the moment is to "get rid of demons", and it has nothing to do with money and treasures. At the level of this kind of metaphysical magic, Gao Xiang's superficial knowledge could not help at all, and it was just a waste of effort to tell him.
"Hey, why are you like this? One by one, like a gourd with a sawed mouth, they don't say anything to me—"
The door closed, blocking out Gao Xiang's voice.
There were no lights in the house, and the doors and windows were all covered by thick coarse cloth curtains, and the light was blurred and unusually dark.
"I have realized that the words on the tortoise shell belong to the oldest 'invisible and shadowless secret' in Chinese Buddhism, and what the wise man who carved the tortoise shell wanted to tell us was not the meaning of the superficial textual narrative. That's why I deliberately blocked the light and figured out the mystery in the dark. In the ancient yinyang theory, the tortoise shell represented the 'Northern Xuanwu Nondeng Water Array', but the other party hid it in the Xia Ri Palace in Nepal. To the south, Nepal belongs to the 'Southern Vermilion Bird Bing'e Array', and the hiding place has the word 'Xia', indicating that the battle to eliminate demons requires the participation of elements such as 'fire, burning, and explosion'. I also saw that the tortoise shell was not carved because the person who left it had already been subjected to the most brutal execution. Therefore, even if you have the ultimate wisdom, you can't see the whole picture. I'm waiting for the night to fall, and I believe that at midnight, the tortoiseshell will give us more important enlightenment. Bao Ling, with her long hair scattered and rubbing her tortoise shell, had entered a realm of selfless contemplation.
Gu Qingcheng's hair had already been cut off by the Red Flame Venerable, and he could only hang down to his shoulders.
She sat cross-legged opposite Baoling, bowed her head with one palm, closed her eyes and whispered: "Baoling, I am sure that the person who left the tortoise shell is a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty." In the meditation room of the Chariya, I have recognized this. He interspersed and transcribed the "Tang Dynasty Western Regions Chronicles" for Master Xuanzang, which was not just a simple text processing, but well versed in the mysteries, and realized from the strange scripture learning route that the Rakshasa witch with boundless magic power was insurmountable with the meager strength of the Han Buddhist scriptures, and she would definitely die to the west, so she detoured to the northwest. Master Xuanzang studied in India, traveled for several years, and has obtained a method to eliminate the Rakshasa witch, and that method is hidden in the book "The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty". After all, he is only a monk and not a charlatan, and if he is not vigilant enough to protect himself, he will be hit by flying disasters. That is his fate, the court mystery has been lost in history, there is no way to investigate, but we must remember that light and darkness coexist at the same time, there must be motivation and resistance, there are demons to slay demons, demons to destroy, there must be demon protectors, demon worshippers. The death of the debater is the work of the demon worshippers. ”
Therefore, Jing Hua in "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" is all on the tortoise shell. It is a pity that among the many monks who have practiced all their lives in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there is no longer one who can continue the idea of debating the secret and carry out the work of deciphering the secrets. The brilliant scriptures full of sweat cows are only exchanged for the change of dynasties, chicken feathers and duck blood. Baoling responded.
In the 5,000-year history of the Chinese nation, there have been countless such doubtful cases. As long as it is a criminal who is killed by the emperor's edict, no matter how great the grievance is, no one dares to overturn the case. Therefore, the name of "Yin Monk" has been carried for thousands of years. For others, it's not about themselves, since there is no benefit to be gained, who wants to pay attention to this case?
"God is pitiful, he chiseled words on the tortoise shell, handed it over to the Wagangzhai Demon Master, and brought it around, which played a decisive role in the battle of demon suppression that year. Historians only remember the famous heroes who are high above, but completely forget the unsung heroes who silently plough behind the scenes. Gu Tingcheng said.
Guan Wen couldn't help but think of the people led by Master Cheng in the underground of Lhasa, living in seclusion year after year, just for an immortal belief in "subduing demons".
"It's not that there are no heroes in this world, but that there is a lack of heroes to find heroes." He said with emotion.
Han Yu, the head of the "Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", said in the article "Ma Said": "There is Bole in the world, and then there are thousands of horses." Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have. ”
The meaning of this is universal.
"No one can be a hero, but the situation is forced to stand up and save the people from fire and water. Guan Wen, in fact, if I can choose, I am willing to let go of a qiē at this moment, retire from the ordinary, and not be a bounty hunter who shocked the world in the past, nor be a demon slayer who is one in a million miles today. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people returned to fight in ancient times...... A few people returned to the ancient battle...... This sentence really expresses the heartfelt heart of the expedition. Gu Qingcheng opened his eyes, with a wry smile on his face.
"I like the other two lines of the poem - 'The ancient sages are all lonely, only the drinker leaves his name'. It's still early and the night is long, so why don't we drink until midnight and see what the ancients want to tell us?" Bao Ling laughed.
The love between the two girls was originally Gu Tingcheng's heroic and generous, and Baoling's weakness and sadness, but they happened to fall down at this moment.
There is no shortage of good wine in Tibet, and in the corner of the room, there is a box of barley wine that Qu Songjian did not have time to move. The kind of wine made from pure grain using the Tibetan soil method has a mellow and simple aroma as soon as the lid is opened.
There was only one water cup in the room, Guan Wen poured a full cup and handed it to Gu Qingcheng.
"Three sips for Li Taibai's good poems-" Gu Qingcheng smiled, really drank three sips in a row, and then handed it to Baoling.
"Life must be proud, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." Baoling also smiled, took three sips in a row, and passed the cup to Guan Wen.
"Good poetry and good wine, this is the happiest night of my life." Guan Wen didn't chant poetry, and Ermei didn't know if he would get drunk in the wine or in the eyes of Gu Tingcheng and Baoling.
The cups continued to pass, and even the air in the room gradually became drunk. Outside the window, the twilight was silent, and the whole world seemed to be asleep.
"Remember someone?" Gu Qingcheng smiled.
"Who?" Baoling asked.
"Lu Dongzan." Gu Tingcheng replied.
"The first wise man of Tibet, Gardonzan? How could you not remember?" Baoling asked rhetorically.
Lu Dongzan is an important figure in history, the Tibetan name is Gar Dongzan, and he is the undisputed first wise man under the command of Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tubo in the past. Songtsen Gampo's courage and skill in fighting and Lu Dongzan's resourcefulness jointly established the hegemony of Tibet on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
"I know that he was sent to Nibora on the order of Songtsen Gampo and asked the king of Guangzhou, who was ruling in Nibhara at that time, to make peace, and asked him to send the most beautiful princess, Brikuti, to Tibet and marry Songtsen Gampo. King Guangzhou did not allow it, Lu Dongzan was above the court, and fought the Wenchen generals of Mub Bora three times, using both soft and hard, coercion and temptation, and finally surrendered to King Guangzhou, and promised to ...... with his relatives" Gu Qingcheng seemed to be drunk, and suddenly mentioned the long-dusted history of Tibet.
Nibora is Nepal, and Princess Burikuti is the historical princess of Shakuzun.
Historians have analyzed that the reason why Songtsen Gampo wanted to marry Princess Chizun as a concubine was to strengthen friendly relations with Nibra and consolidate the religious ties between Tibet and the Indian peninsula. In fact, who can know that it is precisely because of Lu Dongzan's insight that there is a battle between a king and two princesses to fight against demons. Historians are just a group of old pedants who look for silverfish in the history books with a magnifying glass, resting on their laurels, sticking to the old ways, studying all their lives, all they can do is copy repeatedly, chewing what others have already chewed...... "Baoling was also drunk, waving his sleeves as he spoke, and singing and dancing.
"That's right, that's right, Lu Dongzan sent an envoy to Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, and asked Princess Wencheng to marry the wife of Songtsan Gampo, the king of Tubo, in order to complete the great cause of suppressing demons, and it is definitely not the love of men and women. Who in the world knows those great feelings that are above politics and history? In this sense, Songtsen Gampo, Princess Wencheng, Princess Qizun, and Lu Dongzan are also unsung heroes in the world. It's just that people see their superficial exploits, and they can't see what they have really done for Tibet......" Gu Qingcheng laughed, no longer used his glass, snatched the wine bottle in Guan Wen's hand, and drank mouth-to-mouth.
Drinking alcohol can release stress, these two beautiful girls have endured too much pressure during the trip to Nepal, and only under the effect of wine can they get rid of the pressure and truly be themselves.
Of the three, only Guan Wen is still sober.
Therefore, when the tortoise shell that was flat on the table suddenly emitted a sharp white light, they got up suddenly, grabbed the waists of Gu Qingcheng and Baoling left and right, and the three of them quickly retreated together.
