Chapter 31: The Songdara People
Samba nodded, his Chinese was not bad, but at this moment he still paused for a while, as if organizing the language, and after a while, he said: "Actually, this story is not a big deal, I also listened to the older generation of grandma." ”
In the legend of the Tibetan people about Kulazhijie, there is such a story, it is said that it is a matter of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the specific time can not be verified, but at that time, the east of Qinghai is called Huawai, although the ethnic group is complicated, but the personnel are very few, and it extends to the Kunlun Mountains in the east, which is the holy land in the hearts of the Tibetans.
At that time, not only was the inland of the Central Plains war-torn and war-torn in the interior, but the remote border areas were also divided by various forces. The leading Sima beat me today, and tomorrow he will destroy you, and the life of the Tibetans is very difficult.
At that time, there were two of the most powerful, one was the Great Sima Gan Zanba, and the other was the Great Sima Songdara. The two groups of people fought fiercely. Gandarapa's father was the last Tibetan commander and had a lot of power, but Gandampa was self-righteous and tortured, and the Tibetans secretly supported the generous Songdara people, but in the end, the Songdara people still failed, his army was not strong enough, and finally he was forced into the depths of the snow-capped mountains, which is where we will go next.
In Tibetan legend, deep in the snow-capped mountains is the place ruled by Kulargyal, where thousands of years of frost gathered, animals became extinct, and plants and trees became extinct, and no one could survive in them. Kurarijie occupies the entire southern vein of Kunlun, and unless a human is approved by him, both humans and animals will eventually freeze or starve to death in it.
In order to prevent them from escaping, Gan Zanba organized his men and horses to guard the road at the foot of the mountain, preparing to trap the Songdara troops in it.
After ten days of guarding, some Tibetans could not sit still, they always hoped that the Songdara people could be unified, and did not want to let the harsh Gandampa rule them, so the Tibetans secretly gathered together to discuss, they decided to gather some grain and grass, find the strongest men in the tribe, and form a secret transport team to transport the grain and grass to the Songdara people who were trapped in the depths of the snow-capped mountains.
On the night before leaving, nine Kangba men toasted barley wine in the direction where Kurazhijie was located in the night, hoping to get Kulazhijie's understanding and let them enter the snow-capped mountain.
Of course, Kulazhijie will not manifest the spirit, after they completed the ceremony, they secretly marched to the snow-capped mountain, but the snow-capped mountain was full of guards, these nine men were still found, in the process of fighting, all of them were wounded by swords, turned into blood, the Tibetans rioted, whether it was young and strong warriors, or old and weak women and children, they rushed out of the darkness and had a melee with the soldiers guarding the snowy mountain.
The nine men marched into the mountains with food on their backs, and never came back.
Everyone thought that the nine men did not complete the task, because the injuries on their bodies were too serious, some places were deep to the bones, and some wounds could faintly see the internal organs, how could such injuries survive in the ice and snow?
The incident did not stop here, and the Tibetans who rebelled that night were almost completely slaughtered, leaving only a few people who hid in the uninhabited plateau and secretly survived. For the next few years, the Tibetans lived in a state of fire and water, and Gandzanpa's repressive rule led to riots everywhere, but Gandzanpa's army was so brave that all the riots were suppressed.
However, just when everyone was feeling hopeless.
One night, an army suddenly emerged from the depths of the snowy mountains. They were well-dressed, covered in iron armor, and even their faces were hidden under the armor, and this army was led by nine men, and the leader of these nine people was the Songdara!
And at this time, a full decade has passed since the time when the Songdara people entered the snow-capped mountain!
None of the team spoke, and no one had any extra movements, they wore armor and held spears, and they appeared silently in the snowfield, like a team of yin spirits.
Then, the Songdara people took nine of their subordinates, with this army like a yin spirit, and completely defeated Gandamba.
The Tibetans thought it was a miracle, but if it wasn't for the miracle of Kulariya, how would the Songdarat people survive in the vast snowy peaks? How did that invincible army come about?
In the days that followed, the Songdarat became the rulers of Tibet, and the people gradually settled down under his rule. But the Songdarat people are very strange, he always wears a ghost mask, and he never needs to see people in real life.
Until one day, decades later, a strange plague broke out throughout Tibet. Maybe it shouldn't be called a plague, but a kind of divine punishment, because on some people's chests, a strange pattern appeared, and what that pattern looked like, Samba couldn't depict it, after all, this legend was too old, and there were many versions, and no one could tell.
But in the end, all the Tibetans who had that pattern on their bodies mysteriously disappeared.
An unprecedented panic spread among the Tibetans, and a group of the remnants of Gandzangpa began to spread rumors that the Songdara people should have died a long time ago, but that he had traded the lives of the Tibetans with Kulariya, and that the Songdara had gained the same abilities as the Kurazhijie, and that the way to break this ability was to remove the Songdara masks.
The rumors spread more and more, and under the crowd, the Songdara people and his nine guards were once again forced to the front of the snow-capped mountain, and some old Tibetans pleaded with tears: "Dear Songdara people, we only need to look at your face, take off your mask, and prove your innocence." ”
Finally, the Songdara people slowly put their hands on the mask, and the mask was taken off, and the Tibetans saw it...... It's Kurazhije's face.
Kurarije, wolf-headed man.
At this point in the story, Sampa said: "Some Tibetans say that Kurarigyal was asked by the Songdara people to take his army out of the holy land to help the Tibetans, and once he was seen by ordinary people, he had to return to the snow-capped mountains. ”
The moment he died, he dictated a codex ordering the Nine Guards to carry him back to his birthplace, and on that codex, he recorded the experiences of the Songdarat people in the snowy mountains.
That codex is called the Zansheng Sutra by the Tibetans.
There were other Tibetans present at the time, and according to them, there was a palace in the Zansheng Sutra, and it was in that palace that the Songdara people met Kularigyal and made an exchange to gain Kularigyal's abilities.
It is said that at the entrance to that palace was a huge door, and only those who had the approval of Kurarigye could enter it. After Samba finished speaking, he pointed to the door on the map and said: "If you want to go to that place, I advise you to die, Kulazhijie is the patron saint of the Tibetan people, and will not let the Han people enter, if you force it in, you will definitely not be able to get out, there are no animals, no plants, nothing, people can't survive in it." ”
I ignored Samba's words, but pondered about this so-called Kurarij.
In the worship of the mountain gods of the Tibetan people, there are four sacred mountains, the most famous of which is known as the god of the grassland, Nianqing Tanggula, which is said to be in charge of the universe, the universe is time, the universe is space, and Nianqing Tanggula is the god of time and space.
And Kurarijie is one of the four mountain gods, he is known as the god of Zansheng, and is in charge of immortality.
Could it be that the so-called Kulazhijie's ability refers to the ability to live forever? I combined these points together, and immediately felt that this trip to Qinghai was worthwhile. In Samba's legend about the delivery of the Ra people, there was a mysterious and strange army, this legend happened to be somewhat similar to the legend of King Lu Yan borrowing the Yin soldiers, so, did the Songdara people also have a ghost seal?
Where did this ghost seal come from, and where did it end up?
According to Mrs. Huo's notes, in the Kunlun Mountains, there is a Tianyuan coffin, and a ghost seal is buried inside. Is this ghost seal the one owned by the Songdara people?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be shocked, because the background of this story is unknown, and the age in Mrs. Huo's notes is also unknown, so does it mean that the ghost seal in the coffin of Tianyuan no longer exists? So what the third uncle and Chen Wenjin are looking for, does it still exist?
If the ghost seal existed after the Songdara people, then the so-called Tianyuan coffin was the mausoleum of the Songdara people?
None of the three of us spoke, Xiaohua obviously thought of this layer as well, he squinted slightly, looked at the map, and then said to us: "It doesn't make sense to think about this now, you will only know when you get a place." ”
Passerby A clasped his hands and walked into the cave slowly, there was snow outside, it was very cold, I saw Samba a little stunned, so I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go into the cave, it's not good to be sick." ”
Samba followed me dejectedly, there were a bunch of people crowded in the cave, Mao Degui glared at me fiercely, that gaze was very vicious, but I Wu Xie is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded, he immediately glared back fiercely, he pulled the corners of his mouth with a sneer, and then said something to his four brothers.
The rest of us were very quiet, and the men were very unfriendly to me, and a few of them were muttering around me, almost whispering, which made me wonder if they were going to kill me while I was sleeping. Passerby A didn't speak, except for being closer to Xiaohua, he didn't say anything to Xiuxiu, let alone me, I was thinking about it, and a voice suddenly sounded in the cave: "Turtle, come here." ”
I was stunned, then reacted, and scolded angrily: "You fucking turtle." The corners of Passerby A's mouth moved, and he coldly spit out three words: "Get over." I didn't bother to pay attention to him, I pillowed my hands and learned to exchange feelings with the top of the cave, and in the middle of the exchange, something flew in my ear, and I jumped up in fright, and hurriedly looked back, and there was a bright dagger stuck in the mountain wall near my ear.
