The others immediately changed into battle formation, and although they didn't take out their weapons, they were all vigilant, and kept looking around, as if there were many figures shaking behind the other stone piles. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, over the square, a lot of dark clouds gathered from afar, making the light a little dim.
When the ghost-faced samurai had fully turned around, he suddenly removed the mask. Behind the mask was an old face, the old man's face was full of wrinkles, his skin was black and red, but his eyes were as bright as a mountain eagle.
He is different from the simple temperament of ordinary Tibetans, and is more like a wise man who has experienced vicissitudes, and his deep eyes are full of wisdom.
The old man suddenly bowed to us and said in Chinese, "Tashi Delek! Thank you, friends from afar, for your care of the Holy City. But, it looks like you've seen this kind of mask, can you tell me about it? ”
Everyone was stunned, this old man was obviously a native of Tibet, although his spirit was strong, but his body was very weak, and it was impossible for him to be a master with a unique skill like a ghost-faced warrior.
Lao Pan was the first to react, and he immediately returned the salute to the old man, and replied respectfully: "Tashi Delek! Dear Elders, we have come to worship the sacred city of Shenshan with reverence, and the situation just now was completely unexpected. We once met a man in Mongolia who wore a mask that was almost identical to yours, and that's why we reacted that way. ”
The old man pondered for a while and smiled, "Judging by your guarded appearance, that person can't be your friend, right?" It's none of my business, though. This kind of mask is unique to our Bon, but it has been recorded in history, the Bon doctrine is widely spread, and the shamanism in the northern region of our country has integrated some of the ideas and rituals of Bon, and what you see should be the Tibetan Bon Dharma dance mask. ”
I couldn't help but think that the ghost-faced warrior seemed to have a unique position among the green snakes, and his mask was also different from the others of the green snakes, after listening to the old man, I suddenly felt that the ghost-faced warriors might not be the people of the green snakes at all, but could be their partners, just like those skinheads wearing the green snake logo.
At this time, from behind the other Mani piles, many masked people came out one after another, and they all stood silently behind the old man. Most of these people's masks were the faces of various animals, and some of them were hideous-looking ghost masks, but they were all different from the masks worn by the old man, and they were slightly rough in comparison.
When I looked at the old man, I saw that he was still holding a tambourine in his hand, which reminded me of shamanism in the north.
At this time, the old man said a few words of Tibetan to the people behind him, and they all walked to the open space in the middle of the square. Near the largest Nyima pile in the middle, there was also an offering table with some offerings on it, as well as a number of ritual artifacts that I didn't recognize.
The old man said to us, "Today is the day of our prayers, I am the priest of Ani-Dampagrang, the auspicious time has come, if you are interested, please come and watch the ceremony." ”
After finishing speaking, the old man walked towards the square, and we saw that we didn't know when, on the other side of the square, there were already several rows of people standing neatly, these people were all dressed as local herdsmen, more colorful than usual, and there were more than a dozen people in each row.
It's just that these people all have spears in their hands, although they are shotguns, but there are many of them, and they can also pose enough threats to us.
I looked at Lao Pan a little nervously, but the others hardly paid much attention, but Lao Pan shook his head and said, "It's okay, they are not hostile." ”
At this moment, the men suddenly raised their shotguns, but the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the sky. Before I knew it, the sky had darkened, and several huge dark clouds were pressing above the square, close to the highest Nima pile.
The day has become too fast, the sky was still clear just now, how can it be a moment of dark clouds, the mountain rain is coming, the mountain wind has blown those wind and horse flags to hunt.
Ansari suddenly said, "The strange sound we heard just now should be that Ani is performing an exorcism ritual, and Ani is a unique name for Bon shamans in Tibetan. ”
Suddenly, bang bang bang!! Bang bang!!
Shotguns shot in rows into the sky, and the clouds came to a halt when they floated over us, tumbling and tumbling, as dark inside as outside, like a cursed color.
The old wizard put on his mask again at this time, and saw him raise his tambourine and shake it slightly. There are words in his mouth, sometimes whispering like a whisper, sometimes pitching like a wolf howling in the wilderness.
With the sound of the incantation, the old wizard began to dance, and the other masked wizards also danced around the Nima pile. On the hill outside the square, there was a sudden sound of musical instruments, pythons, drums, suona, and bells all rang, and the unique low sound of the Tibetan Tongqin trombone shook people's eardrums with a faint pain, and the majestic and majestic sound stirred people's blood boiling, as if they were in the ancient battlefield.
The old wizard's voice as he recited the incantation became higher and higher, and a strange aura spread, and I suddenly noticed a subtle feeling, and at this moment, I seemed to see the prayer in the sorcerer's heart, and he was praying for the gods to bless the believers with the safety of people and animals, and to send down divine power to ward off the wind and rain and avoid all evil spirits.
The surrounding Tibetans all leaned down and bowed over and over again with reverent faces, and the old sorcerer's body exuded a divine aura at this time.
A blue light suddenly flashed from my wrist, and I hurriedly checked and found that it was the light of the soul bell, but it didn't ring the bell. This is the first time this has happened, what kind of state is this? I cautiously probed the aura around me, but I didn't find anything like a yin spirit.
The old wizard seemed to glance at me, and then he looked up to the sky, and the tambourine beat "dangdang", and shouted, "Hum! Hawkers! Wisdom! Moo! Yes! Sa! Column! Honk! ”
No way! Isn't this the eight-character mantra that the old lama of Khenpo Tuoji handed over to me!
As soon as the eight-character mantra came out, the wind blew violently in an instant, and the dark clouds in the sky were blown away in a moment, as fast as when they came, which made people marvel.
The clouds were dispelled, and the gathered crowd was once again bathed in bright sunlight. The ceremony doesn't seem to be over yet, Ansari said, and it will take a long time to finish.
So, we walked towards the silver city.
The castle on the cliff wall is built in the shape of a mountain, and the snow-white walls look holy in the sunlight, and the caves of different sizes are arranged in a disorderly manner. Climb to the top of the castle along the simple path, the shape of the earthen fort building, perfectly combined with the mountain shape without losing the change, the cave is adjacent to the cave, there is a hole in the cave, the hole is pierced in the hole, the whole castle building structure is complex and changeable, and it is different.
Although the structure of the cave is complex, like a labyrinth, it is perfectly unified because of the same soil color of the exterior wall. Due to the limitations of conditions and tools, the architecture of the ancients was simple and skillful, and in the eyes of today's people, it can really be called a perfect architectural model of the unity of nature and man.
There are still traces of modern habitation in the Yincheng Cave, many of the murals in the cave are still clearly recognizable, the trail has been added with guardrails, and a waterproof berm has been built on the edge of the canyon.
The dilapidated structures were quickly explored, but it was the grottoes that had been carved into the mountain walls that gave us a headache.
There are a lot of them, not to mention, many of them are dozens of meters above the ground, unless they climb to the top of the mountain and then hang down the rope to climb down, otherwise, even masters like Zhang Ye and Ansari want to go up from below, it is in vain.
Because these mountain walls have been weathered over the years, they have already become fragile and loose, and if you stick a knife into them and move them gently, you will bring out a large piece of rubble.
Everyone can only "look at the ocean and sigh", not to mention that they can't climb up now, even if there is a way to enter these caves, but this number is enough for us to check for dozens of days.
What to do now, everyone gathered around and began to think seriously about countermeasures.
Ah Sheng suddenly said at this time: "Although such geological conditions hinder our exploration, it is very difficult for others to go up." Even if someone could go up and do it without leaving a trace, it would be impossible, like walking through dusty ground and trying to leave no footprints. ”
What does he mean by that? I didn't figure it out.
Ansari asked him, "You mean, we just need to explore these caves, are there any signs of anyone else coming recently?" ”
Ah Sheng said: "Yes, the green snake and Lu Haikong should have arrived here many days earlier than us." If they find an entrance here, or if they find anything, they will definitely leave a trace, after all, Tibetans and tourists, no one will climb those caves. ”
Everyone discussed for a while, although Ah Sheng's method was very helpless, but it was also a means of coping, if the green snake found something first, at least we could follow later.
"There's someone over there!!" Da Kui let out a loud cry and pointed to a hole in the cliff wall. Looking in the direction he pointed, there was a cave near the top of the mountain, and the moment I looked up, a figure flashed by the entrance.
