Chapter Thirty-Nine: Behind the Beauty
I lifted the tablet again and zoomed in to see that under the tree was a man kneeling on one knee, with a bare upper body and lower body made of animal skins, much like a Mongolian wrestler.
This man's outfit was quite stylish, with small braids on his head and colorful headbands braided together. In his right hand, he holds a cane made of old tree roots, which is also decorated with colorful ribbons.
Because it is facing away from us, the specific appearance cannot be seen, but the colors of those ribbons can be seen clearly, which are blue, white, yellow, green, and red, similar to the color of colorful Hada. Coupled with the entire Buddhist complex, it immediately adds a lot of religious mystery.
Yan Qiu and Fat Brother were also observing the person under the tree, and Yan Qiu said, "It seems that it is a devout believer, kneeling in front of the old tree under the mountain." ”
The fat brother said: "Looking at his dress and the guy in his hand, he should be doing a religious activity, is it a Mongolian shaman?" ”
After the fat brother finished speaking, I turned my head to look at Yan Qiu, if the tattoo on her hand had something to do with shamanism, she should know what was going on.
But Yan Qiu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the shamanism in any way, but I know that it is wearing colorful clothes and holding a flat drum in his hand. This man has a stick in his hand, and I don't know what he does. ”
It's better to ask for others than for yourself, since I don't know, I just use the eye of heaven to see it myself, and I don't know if the people in the mirage have spirits, can I communicate? When I take off my glasses and look at them, the whole picture is completely different.
Normally, when I look at people with the eyes of the sky, most of the world is pale blue, because the human spirit looks like it is made of blue gas. The picture I saw today turned out to be golden. And it's not a spirit, it's a picture of a whole mirage, a glittering temple complex, a glittering floating pagoda.
In the sky at the top of the tower, two golden dragons were hovering like fish swimming in water. The appearance of the two dragons is basically the same as the legend, but there are some differences, the dragon body is golden and transparent, and the scales on it are not very clear. The dragon's head was different, more like the skull of a mouse, with two wing-like flapping gills growing on the back. The horns were long, long and curved backwards to the back, not in the shape of antlers, but like solidified streamers. Behind the head grew many tentacle-like whiskers, swinging with the wind as the golden dragon swirled in the sky.
The whole dragon was made of ice, including the horns, which were transparent, but glowed with golden light. Could this be a mirage that spits out mirage? Is it really as Jiang Li said, is the mirage made by the exhalation of the divine beast?
Anyway, the picture is so beautiful, it's like a heavenly palace, all the buildings are made of gold, and the dragon swims and circles in the skyrim of the buildings. If this is a religious temple, it is probably not an exaggeration to say that it is the Great Leiyin Temple of the West Heaven.
While admiring the view, I looked at the man kneeling under the tree, who was neither blue nor golden, and still in its original state, without a spirit or a projection. In my usual experience, this person should be a sculpture, not a living thing, otherwise there would have been a projection.
Just as he was about to take his eyes off the person and regain his views of the view, the person suddenly moved. He stood up and turned to me, at a very fast speed, from far to near, like a big shift in a martial arts movie, and only a few flashes of his body were already in front of me.
As I approached me, I only noticed his face, which was a Nakshatra, with red skin, two large bulging eyes, two large black holes that opened forward, and a few fangs of varying lengths underneath the deformed mouth.
The two golden dragons in the sky also seemed to have discovered my existence, and they also circled behind the man at a very fast speed, swinging their bodies in a staggered manner, and swam towards me. Looking at the two dragons again, they are more like sea creatures, like transparent mollusks on the bottom of the sea, with golden light flickering in their bodies. It reminds me of the black dragon I met in Dolgon's tomb, and the sides of its body emit light in the darkness as it breathes.
A strange two dragons attacked me, completely unexpected, I didn't expect that I would use the eye of heaven to see, there would be such a consequence, so that I was caught off guard, I could only have a big mouth in fear, waiting for what was going to happen, eighty percent of the fierce and auspicious.
What I didn't expect was that the monster and the two dragons didn't mean to stop, and they just crashed straight at me.
I was numb and unable to move, and I watched something more horrible than a train crash into me.
The moment the yaksha-like humanoid monster collided with me, it vanished in an instant, as if it had burrowed into my body. The two dragons behind me slammed into me in the same way, disappearing as soon as they came into contact with me, until the tail with its fins.
A natural evasive inertia made me lean back, and with a bang, the back of my head was mounted on the body. A sharp pain in the back of my head also woke me up from my fear, and the scene just now was like a nightmare.
The three of them came to help me, and they didn't know what I saw, and they didn't know what happened to me at that moment just now.
Jiang Li asked with concern, "Zhanxiao, what's wrong with you?" Why did you fall down all of a sudden? ”
Yan Qiu also said: "Have you been standing for too long?" Dizzy? Get in the car and take a break. ”
I rubbed my head and smiled and said to them, "It's okay, I'm hypoglycemic." Then I took out the plum candy that Lao Li gave me from my pocket, pulled out a piece, and put it in my mouth. With a sugar cube in his mouth, he also glanced at the fat brother meaningfully.
The fat guy nodded, indicating that there was no need to say more, and then took the glasses that I had dropped from my hand to the ground, blew them on my mouth, and put them back on my face.
After a short conversation, and then looking up at the mirage, the color had become very pale and blurry, and in just twenty seconds, it was completely gone. Looking at the past, there is still an endless Gobi with some weeds, and the end is connected with the sky with faint white clouds.
The tourists returned to the car with a smile on their faces, and the four of us also got on the bus slowly and leisurely with the crowd.
While walking to the car, I asked Jiang Li: "What does the exhaling mirage you said look like?" ”
Jiang Li said: "According to the description, it should be a divine beast with a bird's head, a turtle body, long legs, four claws, and a dragon's tail." ”
It's not quite what I saw, I don't know if the legend is wrong, or if what I'm seeing isn't a mirage at all.
I asked, "How does it exhale in the sky and create illusions without wings?" ”
Jiang Li glanced at me and said, "You have such a rich imagination, who told you that you exhale from the top down?" ”
Yan Qiu also covered her mouth and said to me, "Does the projector have to be hung on the roof?" ”
I looked at the fat brother helplessly, and shook my head, in order to sue him, what I saw was different from what Jiang Li said, and I don't know if the fat brother understood, he didn't say anything.
After waiting for the car, the fat brother said thoughtfully: "The person under the tree, have you seen it anywhere?" ”
If he had said that before, I would have started to remember, but now my mind is full of Nakshatra faces, and I can't think of anything else.
It didn't take a few seconds for Yan Qiu to remember, and she said, "I have indeed seen it, on the table in the clubhouse." ”
As soon as she said this, the fat brother and Jiang Li immediately remembered it.
Jiang Li glared at the cute big eyes and said, "Yes, yes, it's on the table, and that person has turbidity in his hand." ”
The fat brother also nodded and said, "By the way, could it be that this scene has also appeared before?" Recorded? Then he looked at me meaningfully.
I was even more confused, I couldn't remember it at all, and I began to recall the places I had been to when I was in Erenhot, only the place where Sister Hou invited us to dinner was a little higher-grade, and I had never been to the club or anything. I looked anxiously at the three of them, asking for a hint.
Yan Qiu smacked her lips and said to me a little helplessly: "Tsk, you pig brain, Xifu fisherman, the screen that your mother gave to Boss Yu was made into a table, did you forget that you still called to ask?" ”
I remembered it instantly, and I couldn't tell what it was like.
Does this picture have anything to do with my mother? I heard that the screen was a dowry from my mother's family. Could it have been this mirage before? Recorded by my adoptive mother's ancestors and engraved on the screen? Should I be happy that I have witnessed the beauty with my predecessors, or should I suspect that this qiē existence is necessarily connected? My mind was full of jumbled thoughts, and the terrifying images of the Yaksha monster with two dragons crashing into me kept replaying.
The car started slowly again, and because we were delayed here for more than an hour, Xiaoxue specially reminded the fat driver to speed up.
The three people around me continued to talk and laugh, and also took out snacks to exchange tastings, while I looked at the picture floating behind me outside the window, without saying a word, my mind was messy, maybe the purpose of this trip has changed from helping Jiang Li to solving my doubts, and I don't know what awaits me in front of me.
Next stop, Joyle.
