Yunnan Worm Valley Chapter 53 The Ghost Mother Strikes the Demon Bowl
We searched the ancient temple in front of us, and there were no people's footprints in the barren grass, except for the weeds and rocks, and occasionally we would see some half-empty animal bones, looking at the shape of the skeletons, and even large animals such as Tibetan horses, bears and yaks, I don't know if they died of old age, or were eaten by some other beasts.
In this section of the journey before arriving at the gate of the ancient temple mountain, the lama briefly said something about the situation of this abandoned temple, in the ancient legend of Tibet, the king of the world's enemy jewels, entrusted by the princess of Jiadi (Jiadi: In ancient times, Tibet called the Han land as Jiadi), with the help of the lotus master, killed the demon concubine who hid in Kunlun Mountain, in the oral narrative poem that has been circulated for thousands of years, there has been a detailed description, and the poem mentioned that the demon concubine was the reincarnation of the ghost mother of the demon country.
Since ancient times, this mountain recess not far from the Kunlun Divine Spring is a cursed place, passing through the herdsmen and cattle here, often disappearing inexplicably, the local living Buddha, has more than once sent the iron rod lama and vajra protector, to the mountain to find out the reason, but there is no clue.
Until the Qianlong period, there was a strong mountain collapse, some people found that a nameless ancient tomb was exposed under the hillside, the location was back to the mountain and the lake, the stone gate of the ancient tomb collapsed, and it was wide open, but the local herdsmen were superstitious, no one dared to go in, only looked inward outside, only saw that there were many old fir trees inside.
The stone path outside the ancient tomb is half submerged in the lake, and the stone men and stone beasts of the town tombs such as sheep and tigers have been damaged, and the inscriptions such as inscriptions and markings are all missing, so it is impossible to know who is buried in this tomb.
The Living Buddha sent lamas into the cracked tomb to search and retrieve some human bones, the rest of which were already rotten, and a stone tablet engraved with a picture of the ancient Tibetan legend "Ghost Mother Hitting the Bowl".
The locals believe that all kinds of disasters that happened here before must be related to the ghost mother and demon concubine of the demon country, maybe this is her last burial place, and later this matter was learned by the court, because the people in Tibet changed frequently at that time, in order to win people's hearts and show the emperor's holy virtue and benevolence, it was funded by the court, and a temple was built here to pay tribute to the "Great Virtue King Kong". Sweep away evil spirits, and also ask the living Buddha to send people to preside over the big and small things in the temple.
After the completion of the "Great Phoenix Temple", the incense was very prosperous, and many herdsmen came all the way to turn the mountains and lakes. But the strange things in this area are still one after another, there are many people at night, see a strange man in Tsing Yi, haunted by the nearby lake, turn the day, there will be a person drowned in the water, and the drowning person, whether fat or thin, as long as the water is not over the head, even if he is rescued immediately, there is only skin and bones, dry as tree bark.
There have been more than one witness, the water stretched out a big cyan hand like a wheel, grabbed the shore of people and animals, pulled into the water, the lamas cut off the basin, so that the lake dried up, want to find out the root cause, but only to see the bottom of the lake dry bones, chanting sutras over the big practice, all have no effect, had to use a stone to block the ancient tomb, abandon the temple and go, in the Tibetan land where Buddhism is prosperous, the fact of abandoning the temple is too rare, from then on, people warn each other, stay away from this ominous forbidden land.
In the seventies, except for some old lamas, the rest of the people have gradually forgotten, and some people began to covet convenience, come to this barren meadow to play winter grass, we found that the remains of the stone road, is the scripture stone that blocked the cracks of the ancient tomb, on which are engraved with the tantric reincarnation mantra of the Great Nikkei book, can not be stepped on with feet, the lama told us this, shook his head again and again, sighed, and whispered: "Alas, not many people still take the words of the Buddha seriously." ”
When the big man heard this, he whispered to me, "Old Hu, can there really be such a thing as he said?" , right? ”
I was noncommittal, thinking that a few days ago, the volcanic activity at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain was frequent, causing a major earthquake, and perhaps the ancient tomb that was sealed was cracked again, but since a qiē thing in the tomb had been emptied as early as the Qianlong period, it means that there is only one "tomb in ruins" left, and I only know that the place of the tomb is not suitable for a long time, and as for the strange legends in this temple, I don't know what to do.
In order not to leave any clues, the four of us opened a certain distance in parallel and advanced to the broken walls of the ancient temple, but we didn't find any suspicious signs along the way, and the first group led by the company commander also walked out of the barren grass, and they didn't find anything on their side, and the two groups temporarily merged and entered the "Great Phoenix Temple".
This temple was damaged and collapsed very strictly, only a few circles of broken walls remained, the scale of the year can be vaguely seen, at this time a round of big and round moon, revealed from the heavy lead clouds, the moon is as bright as day, illuminating the broken temple is bright, and the heavy snow on the mountain beam still keeps falling, the cold wind blows down, choking people's lungs and tubes are cold, the internal organs seem to be frozen into ice, where is there still the heart to appreciate again, this half of the moonlight and half of the snow of the wonder.
The local garrison has such a mantra: "After passing the Kunlun Mountain, entering the Ghost Gate, and arriving at the unfrozen spring, the tears will freeze, Kunlun Ya, and the wolf will freeze to death." The mountain where the abandoned temple is located is a big mouth that sucks the wind, the cold wind with ice slag will pour in from all directions, forming a whimpering peculiar sound, hovering over the ancient temple of barren grass, the strangest thing is that the temperature here is very low, but the green plants next to it can still survive, the lake never freezes, and there are no fish and aquatic plants in it, legend has it that in ancient times, there was no wind here and there were three feet of waves, most of the lake area had dried up a long time ago, only a small piece of blisters remained, so it was regarded as " Ghost Lake Laangcuo".
As soon as the people of the squad entered the wall of the broken temple, the company commander asked the lama to introduce the temple and the surrounding terrain to everyone in detail, and after understanding the same, the company commander still divided the people into two groups, he personally took people to the area around the entrance of the ancient tomb behind the temple, and the second group was responsible for searching the ruins of the ancient temple.
After the company commander made the arrangement, he took his few people and walked straight through the broken tank, but in fact, the ancient tomb behind the temple was not grand, only the area of two private houses. The reason why we saw the prayer stone sealing the tomb in front of the temple is because the seismic caused the cracks in the geological zone to expand, and the geological layer of the entire hillside was torn apart, and it was connected with the tomb at the other end.
We also did not dare to delay, let the lama lead the way, searched the broken temple inside and out, in the middle of the position, we saw a broken human body bull-faced multi-armed statue, the face is fierce and angry, this is the power of subduing evil, the power of the great virtue of the great virtue of King Kong.
Under the statue of Dawei Dade King Kong, there is a large stone slab more than one meter thick, which is dug out from the ancient tomb behind the temple, very dilapidated and dilapidated, I wiped off the ash on it with cotton gloves, revealing the stone carvings on it, I and the big man, Xu Officer felt very curious, wanted to see what the ghost mother looked like, only to see that the carvings on the boulder were almost gone, and there was no color, but fortunately, the stone pattern was detailed, and you could see the old appearance of six or seven points.
A nude woman, with three eyes and six arms, is covered with strange ornaments, these ornaments are distorted, all seem to be related to the snake god, and beside her is a huge water bowl with cicada wing patterns, and in the middle of the bowl sits a black and fat child, also with three eyes and six arms, holding a short snake staff, striking the bowl body, and in the background of the picture is countless mountains of cow skulls.
The lower half of the slate may be due to the perennial burial in the soil, which has been eroded by the soil and water to become black and rotten, so we can only see the above half of the picture, we are rare, no one thinks that this ghost mother is terrible, Xu said: "This image is disrespectful to women, fortunately, the evil feudal forces have been overthrown, and millions of serfs in Tibet have been liberated, thanks to the chairman and his old man." ”
I said of course, so let's not forget the people who dug the wells, and the chairman's teachings must not be forgotten, and we must tighten the strings of class struggle at all times. Is it the watchdog of the feudal ruling class?
The lama took us to the lake behind the temple, singing mantras while walking, and said the origin of the ghost mother, it turned out that in the poems that narrated the deeds of the hero king, the biggest enemy of the Ling country is the demon country, the ghost mother is a very high status person in the demon country, and it is similar to the queen's general storage zài, which is specifically responsible for the reincarnation of the demon monarch after death, and the ghost mother is also reincarnated again every time she dies, and if you want to completely eradicate the royal family of the demon country, you must kill the ghost mother, otherwise the nightmare of the Ling country will never stop.
In that era, death in people's eyes was divided into many levels, the death of the ghost mother, must be the end of her reincarnation of the complete extinction, as soon as it comes to these contents, we are not very willing to listen, so we speed up the pace of progress, and suddenly thought in my heart, the nine-story demon building hidden under the big glacier is the tomb of a demon noble, what a fucking ghost mother came out here, does this mean that a large area nearby, once the mausoleum area of the ancient demon country?
The area behind the broken temple is even more desolate and dilapidated, the old lama has never been there, everyone is careful and vigilant at the moment, I have always been careless, but immersive, stepping on this piece with both feet, stored in the wasteland of ancient legends, I can't help but feel nervous, the lake behind the temple, now there is only a small pond left, the herdsmen came to report to the PLA, the place where the yak was dragged into the water, this is it, there are still many traces of struggle and drag on the ground, and it does not seem to be disguised by the enemy.
The water in the pond was almost all black, rotten grass and silt, and the smell was so foul that the four of us stood by the pond and didn't dare to gasp for breath, it was so stinky, and the big man pointed to a black thing in the water and said, "It looks like a military hat." ”
The big man stood on the edge of the pond, poked out the rifle with a bayonet, and wanted to pick up the thing in the water that looked like a sheep's sheared velvet hat to check, I was just about to stop him, suddenly the stinky water in the pond shook slightly, and it seemed that there was a huge cyan human hand, quietly emerging from the bottom of the water, trying to grab the big man and pull it in, I immediately raised the semi-automatic rifle that had already been loaded, and before my fingers could pull the trigger, I heard a sudden burst of gunfire from the northwest, and the other group of people may have encountered an emergency......
