Chapter 228: A Call from the Depths of the Ancient Temple
A group of 12 people took two Black Hawk helicopters to fly in the direction of Mount Everest, if you take a car, you need to go from Kaze through the Jialatso Pass, and then to Dingyue County, and then cross the Jiuula Pass, in order to reach the bottom of Mount Everest, and the car is not completely passable, and you also need to take a horse-drawn carriage in the middle, which is not so convenient as a helicopter.
Speaking of these helicopters, or in the 80s Sino-US honeymoon period, imported from the United States, is also China's only few kinds of American-style military equipment, the use of the Chinese side in the middle of the exploration of a lot of this kind of aircraft on the plateau flight data and experience, this is also the United States very much, plus because it has excellent plateau performance, China often uses this type of aircraft to carry out plateau rescue, and other humanitarian operations, so after the rupture of relations in the later period, the United States did not cut off its spare parts supply.
There was an accident in the middle, which caused heavy casualties, because it was detected that it was because of quality problems, the manufacturer Xikeji Company also paid 3 million US dollars to the Chinese side, which was also the first international compensation obtained in the trade between China, and later there was an accident, resulting in the death of many generals of a large military region.
China also wants to map and copy this kind of aircraft, but it cannot be realized because of the technical difficulty, otherwise it will be a qualitative leap in the development of China's helicopters, because the Black Hawk is a multi-purpose general aircraft, and all four branches of the United States use this kind of aircraft, which is the best proof.
Before this kind of aircraft, China did not fly to the plateau of the plane, the altitude is higher than 3000 meters, the oxygen content of the air will drop by half, the power of any engine will be reduced to more than one-third, not to mention the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau such bad natural weather, there was once an urgent mission, a certain type of domestic helicopter flew a trip to Motuo, after landing it was found that the fuselage of the plane was deformed, was stretched by dozens of centimeters.
Along the way, Su Ming was leisurely browsing the feng shui below, and on the large snow-capped snowfields, you can see oases deep in the valley everywhere, like pieces of refreshing jasper gems inlaid on the mountain scenes carved from white jade.
And Su Menghua couldn't adapt to this sharp change in altitude and became out of breath, and he wanted to reluctantly persevere, but when he looked down suddenly, a sudden dizziness came, and he almost hit the wall of the plane headlong, so he had to take the oxygen straw handed to him by the staff and took several big sips before he got better.
Su Ming smiled at him, this fellow sect can be regarded as having perseverance, and he can follow him until now without giving up, compared to the ordinary [***], at least this one has a surname, but the other party misunderstood Su Ming's meaning, thinking that Su Ming was laughing at him, glared at him fiercely and turned his head.
Su Ming turned around and patted Sun Xian on the back gently, in this low-oxygen environment, even a quarrel could cause Chengren to die of lack of oxygen, Sun Xian also lost her previous liveliness and charm, became soft and cute, smiled at Su Ming, and closed her eyes again.
After arriving at Rongbu Temple, everyone got off the plane, the altitude here has been as high as 5800, 7 kilometers forward is the gathering place of mountaineering enthusiasts, the base camp of Mount Everest, because there is no permanent residence there, can only live in their own tents, the current weather is a good time to climb the mountain, so there is a piece of flowers, they saw it on the plane.
The full name of Rongbu Monastery is "Ladui Charong Budong Aquling Monastery", it is the temple of the Nyingma faction, and it is also a mixed temple of monks and nuns, the Nyingma sect is the red religion, compared to the white religion, the flower religion, the yellow religion, his history is the longest, the Nyingma is the ancient or old meaning, it is the product of the combination of Bon and Buddhism, the native religion of Tibet, pay attention to the inheritance of master and apprentice or father and son.
Famous in Tibet, Master Padmasambhava is the founding patriarch of the Nyingma school, famous for his supernatural powers and spells, in many mythological poems, Master Padmasambhava subdued a number of demon stars, eliminated the demon country, King Gesar is the incarnation of Master Padmasambhava, in fact, in Su Ming's view, it is probably the original anti-Buddha force is strong, and various means are needed to deter it, so there are supernatural powers handed down.
Su Ming and the others were going to spend the night in the temple, the original intention was to ask for a sesame oil money or something, just like the mainland, but they didn't expect to directly mark the price, 25 yuan per person per night, there are only eleven monks and eight nuns in the temple, and the five-story complex is only the second floor below for use.
Legend has it that in the early years, there were hundreds of monks and nuns, dozens of small monasteries under its jurisdiction, some of which are still in Nepal, but now they have declined, but due to the national policy of tilting these religious sites, this place has been renovated on a large scale more than ten years ago, and it looks relatively new.
On the side near Mount Everest, there is also an old temple, it is said that there are caves where Guru Padmasambhava practiced and stones printed with his hand and foot prints, there is a prayer path around the Rongbu Temple, which is used for chanting sutras when people atone for their sins, and the temple can be seen everywhere with colorful murals, all of which are mythological pictures, and there are double cultivation murals in various poses at intervals.
A monk named Dzhala Gyatso led Su Ming and the others to the room where they were staying, and then left, and did not say a lot of precautions as Su Ming thought, such as the forbidden area and no behavior, which made people feel very free.
Someone told Su Ming that the reason why he didn't tell you was that people didn't need to engage in this kind of mystery, and their believers were local Tibetans, and the monks here were not afraid that you would go to places you shouldn't go or say things you shouldn't say, and once you made something inappropriate, you would be severely punished, and no one would be able to save you at that time, because here, the power of religion is too strong.
That's better not to run around, Su Ming scratched his head, for this kind of religion with a relatively firm belief, it is better not to offend or not to offend, living in Pakistan for so long, Su Ming already knew the terrible thing about religious beliefs, and there was no reason and basis at all.
After falling, Sun Xian's complexion improved a lot, and when she saw Su Ming staring intently at the thangka on the wall, she asked curiously, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Oh, it's okay, just take a look." Su Ming originally wanted to say that Master Padmasambhava is so good, thinking about it, in other people's temples, it is better not to open products indiscriminately.
"Hmph, I don't have a good eye on you." As soon as Sun Xian looked at the content on the thangka, she knew that Su Ming's eyes were mainly focused on that point.
The master Padmasambhava on the wall is practicing the supreme tantric method with Concubine Ming in the posture of "double luck", but the picture of the person does not hide the color of ** on his face, and the eyebrows and eyes are quite vivid.
Su Ming glared at her and motioned her not to talk nonsense, but he quickly frowned, because suddenly Su Ming felt a wave of unconscious calls from the back of the temple, but this call was not transmitted by sound, nor did it have a fixed rhythm, just like a gravitational force, attracting people to go.
Su Ming didn't know where this gravitational pull came from, and he didn't know what his intention was, so he resisted this consciousness very much, and Su Ming resisted a little, and he could no longer feel the existence of this consciousness, but as soon as he entered the ethereal state for a while, he immediately felt it again.
"What's wrong with you?" Sun Xian saw Su Ming standing there motionless, frowning for a while and as if she was thinking about something, so she asked strangely.
"Oh, it's fine." Seeing her delicate and powerless appearance, Su Ming felt a sense of pity, but he was misunderstood by Sun Xian, and immediately covered himself with a quilt: "Don't use any crooked brains, I don't dare to go crazy with you." ”
"What are you thinking, I still wanted to talk to you, since you doubt me, then I'll go back." Su Ming took advantage of the situation to go back to his room, thinking about practicing for a while, but he didn't expect that under the interference of that kind of consciousness, he couldn't practice at all, and only a little empty and chaotic thoughts could feel the call of that consciousness.
What's going on, Su Ming is very strange, could it be that this temple really has a god or Dharma Protector Vajra, or is there some good things such as heirloom treasures, relics, and holy relics behind the temple, otherwise how can it be impossible for people to practice at all, can it be that the monks in the temple can't feel it, only they can feel it, it shouldn't be.
Su Ming lay down and prepared to sleep, in this environment, he didn't dare to stay up late, since he couldn't practice, then he could sleep, but Su Ming soon found that even sleeping was affected by that consciousness, and it was even more serious, Su Ming sat up in a fit of anger, this is not to let the energy from sleep go to Mount Everest, he has to stay here for at least ten days and a half months, how can he not sleep all the time, no, he has to go outside to see.
Su Ming gently pushed open the door, there were still people who were not sleeping at this time, and many rooms were still lit up, Su Ming thought for a while, retreated, and waited in the room for a while, and waited until there was no sound outside, before he carefully felt the direction of the consciousness and walked out of the room.
Passing through the chanting hall and bypassing the main hall, there was a row of square stone towers in front, Su Ming passed through the tower and entered the third floor of Rongbu City, Su Ming stopped and felt that the existence of the consciousness was still behind, and Su Ming continued to walk towards the back of the temple.
The scripture hall, the main hall, and the stone pagoda can be seen everywhere, and the flags, prayer flags and various decorations make a whining sound under the cold wind, probably because of being in the ancient temple, Su Ming thought of Nie Xiaoqian, Su Ming just smiled self-deprecatingly, and suddenly felt that consciousness suddenly disappeared.
Hey, what's going on, no matter how Su Ming looks for it, he can no longer feel the existence of that consciousness, but when Su Ming exits that area, that consciousness appears in Su Ming's mind again.
After trying a few times, it was the same situation, Su Ming had to stop helplessly, even if he judged that this consciousness was here, such a large area would not be able to be found, Su Ming probably counted, just by seeing, there were three scripture halls, two large towers, and six stone towers.
