Chapter 157: Tibetan Monk
Mr. Lu and I squeezed into the dirty and cramped toilet on the train, covering our noses and discussing the rumors about the Red Sect in detail. I think the environment we live in is really blasphemous to religion.
After a while, someone outside started knocking on the door. Mr. Lu and I ignored it, and continued to chatter, and after a few minutes, the knocking on the door became more and more urgent, and there was no intention of stopping.
Mr. Lu shook his head helplessly, and then opened the toilet door.
There was an angry girl standing outside, he looked into the toilet, and found that there were two men inside, and immediately showed a "I understand" expression on his face. However, the expression was fleeting and turned into disgust.
Mr. Lu smiled indifferently, and then walked out of the toilet. I don't have the thick skin of him. I walked out with my head down, like an adulterer caught in bed, and I didn't dare to look into the eyes of the people.
The train left for a while, and Mr. Lu changed to two sleepers. I lay down and fell asleep. Mr. Lui, on the other hand, has been meditating cross-legged, and I can hear his breathing becoming more and more even, and I guess his body is gradually improving.
I don't know how long I slept, but Mr. Lu woke me up and said, "We're almost there, get ready to get out of the car." ”
I rubbed my eyes and said, "What is there to prepare?" The big knife was also left to Lao Xue. We didn't have anything on us. ”
After a while, the train slowly stopped. I squeezed out with Mr. Lu in a daze. As soon as I got off the train, I felt the wind outside very cool.
I asked Mr. Lu, "Are we on the plateau now?" ”
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Is this considered a plateau?" Hehe, it's still far from it. ”
The station is small, with two dim lights at the door. There were a couple of dirty vans under the lights. I saw the owner of the car sitting in the car and smoking.
When Mr. Lu and I passed by, he poked his head out of the lathe and asked rudely, "Hey, are you in the car?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded, and then said a strange place name. The pronunciation is very strange, and I can basically assume that it is not Chinese.
When the driver heard the name, he looked at Mr. Lu in surprise, and then said a lot of muttering words.
Mr. Lu smiled and shook his head, and said, "I'm not a Tibetan, I'm a Han Chinese, and I just happen to know the name of this place." ”
The driver actually laughed, and he said, "I don't think you look like it, in fact, I'm also Han." It's just a bit of a long time here, though. Hey, in this place, meeting Han people is considered a fellow countryman. ”
Mr. Lu and I sat in the back seat of the car. The driver was not busy driving, and waited for two or three hours until the van was crammed in with seven or eight passengers, and he slowly drove out of the train station.
I saw a scar a few inches long on the back of his head, and I couldn't help but start to guess about his past. He was a Han Chinese who lived in seclusion here for many years. Then the reason why he came to this place in the first place is probably not very glorious.
I didn't ask about his past, though. It's not that I'm afraid of him. Rather, who hasn't clicked on it? Now that it's over, there's no need to mention it anymore.
Perhaps the village that Mr. Lu said was too remote, and the rest of the tourists gradually got off the bus. And Mr. Lu and I sat until late at night.
Finally, the car stopped. The driver said a little tiredly: "Two, get out of the car." ”
I asked, "Arrived?" ”
The driver smiled and said, "This little brother, don't you come here often, do you?" In this place, the city can be considered a city with a car. The place you're talking about is at most at the village level. ”
I laughed twice and followed Mr. Lu down.
The car drove away, and it was dark all around, and I felt the wind cool and wrapped myself in my clothes.
Mr. Lu walked in front, and I followed. The two of us were on the previous slope, and after walking a few steps, I felt a little out of breath.
Mr. Lu turned around and said, "If you feel tired, you can rest, this place can't be strong." ”
I nodded, knowing that this was supposed to be a plateau, and the oxygen was thin.
The two of us walked and stopped until it was dawn, and finally came to a small village.
This village is very primitive, even more excessive than the Zhongzi camp.
When I was at the entrance of the village, Mr. Lu instructed me: "When you go to the village, you must be careful not to kick or touch the animals inside." ”
I wondered, "Why is that?" ”
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "The Red Sect is also a branch of Buddhism. The people in the village believe in the six realms of reincarnation, and they believe that the old man in the village will continue to be reborn in the village after he dies. Therefore, the animals in the village are treated as elders. ”
I nodded, and then followed Mr. Lu in. It's still early. There was no one in the village. Only a few broad-shouldered Tibetan women, with round waists, looked at us with curious expressions.
Mr. Lu nodded politely to them, and then led me to speed up.
The two of us walked through the village. Then I saw a slightly more complicated building.
It looks like a temple, but it's made of uneven stones, so it looks a little dilapidated.
Mr. Lu and I walked in from the stone gate cave. A middle-aged monk was found chanting.
After he saw Mr. Lu, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon smiled and said, "Old friend, you are really here." "He is not fluent in Chinese, but he is a little like the demon monk.
Mr. Lu saluted and said, "I'm here to ask you for help." ”
The monk said, "You once saved my life, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree." Come with me, I'll take you something to eat. ”
I was really hungry all the way. Gobbled up most of those things. When my stomach was full, I refused to eat again.
At this time, I understood a truth: if the special snacks were really delicious, they would have become popular all over the country long ago.
After Mr. Lu and I have eaten and drunk enough. The monk asked, "Why did you come all the way here to find me?" Is it for me to preach? ”
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "I believe in the Tao, and you believe in Buddhism." If you have different beliefs, what scriptures do you preach? It's a joke. ”
The monk smiled slightly and said, "In our place, the lectures are somewhat similar to your mystical talks. It's just some life thinking. There is no distinction between Buddhism and Taoism. ”
When Mr. Lu saw that the monk was talking loudly, he immediately waved his hand and said, "We are not here to preach the scriptures, but we do have something to ask for." ”
The monk raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Mr. Lu said: "In your faction, there are people recruiting women again. According to the original agreement, you should send someone down the mountain to clear the portal. ”
The monk's face instantly became solemn. He thought for a moment and said, "Have you seen the true face of that person?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded and said, "Of course I did, if I wasn't sure, I wouldn't come to you." I know that the consequences of slandering your faction are quite severe. ”
The monk smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am afraid that this is true when I said this ten years ago, but now, I am afraid that it may not be." ”
Mr. Lu asked, "What do you say?" ”
The monk sighed and said, "It's no secret that this sect is declining. At the beginning, he controlled almost the entire Red Sect. But then, little by little, it was suppressed. In recent decades, no more disciples have been willing to join. ”
He pointed to himself and said, "I only have one junior brother, and I don't have any other classmates. In my generation, there are only two people left. In the past ten years, the predecessors of the previous generation have gradually passed away, and we have completely decayed. Hehe, don't say that you slandered us now, even if you come to the door, we don't have the ability to fight back. "The battle is on the island.
When Mr. Lu heard this, his expression was also a little unpleasant. He asked tentatively, "So, that demon monk?" ”
The monk asked rhetorically, "Since you have seen the demon monk, then let me ask you, is he a dwarf?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded, and then asked strangely, "How do you know?" ”
The monk smiled bitterly and said, "Because he is my uncle." ”
