Chapter Thirty-Six: Ice Crystal Buddha Pavilion
Kuroko said dejectedly: "If we continue to walk blindly like this, several of us will have to freeze to death." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yangjia Ram was in a better state of mind and comforted everyone: "Look again, maybe there is a suitable place to stay overnight around this snow summit." ”
"But how easy is it to get around such a tall snowy peak?" Lausanne could only fantasize in his heart that maybe there was a place in front of him, and insisted on moving forward with such a belief. Yayi's lips were blue from the wind and snow, and she was so cold that she knocked her upper teeth and lower teeth. Kampot took off his scarf and wrapped it around Yayi's neck.
Lausanne held the pair of cold hands that had been blown by the wind and snow, and asked with concern: "Ram, are you cold?"
Yang Jin Ram shook his head, pursed his lips at her softly, and said, "I can still hold on!
The wind and snow were so great that Lausanne had no choice but to take Yang Jinlam's hand and put it in my spacious sleeve to greet her: "It doesn't hurt, it's much better after taking the medicine you gave!"
In the hazy wind and snow in the distance, you can vaguely see that there is a Buddhist pavilion under the snow peak, but it is frozen by heavy snow, and it looks like it is integrated with the snow peak, and it is really not easy to notice if you don't look carefully.
Lausanne squinted his eyes and looked at it, it really looked like a Buddhist pavilion. Then he beckoned to everyone: "Let's go over there and have a look, I think it looks like a Buddhist pavilion, maybe we can spend the night there." ”
Everyone paused to look at it, and in the hazy distance, there was really a vague Buddhist pavilion. It's a good place to spend the night.
The wind mixed with the snowflakes made it difficult for everyone to walk, and the help of the wind greatly reduced the speed of progress. This short journey took more than an hour to reach the location of the Buddha Pavilion.
When you walk in, this Buddhist pavilion looks extraordinary. It is not a Tibetan-style building with white walls and red roofs, but a transparent building, like a tall house carved from a huge natural crystal, with a total of nine floors and a height of 30 meters.
Everyone has this Buddha Pavilion that appeared out of thin air as a support, and their hearts are a lot more stable, if they walk in a place where there is no store in front of the village and behind the village, they encounter such a violent snowstorm, they can't stay overnight, they have to freeze to death.
Kampot stepped forward and touched the wall of this Buddha Pavilion and said, "I said that this Buddha Pavilion is very wrong, this ...... Can you believe that this wall is made of ice?"
From the outside, there are several tall Buddha statues in the transparent Buddhist pavilion, which are also carved from Bingkuai, and are full of colorful religious flags and prayer flags, but there is not a single lama in sight inside. It's really weird.
Although it is more than 5,000 meters above sea level, who can guarantee that such a Buddhist pavilion built with ice will not melt in the summer? Lausanne muttered to himself, praying that he would not encounter any accidents when he spent the night here.
After thinking about it, I thought that maybe it had something to do with the special climate and environment here, and it was not a strange thing that snow fell on the plateau in August, so that it could be kept here without melting, right?
Instead of being made of ice, the strange gate of the temple was cut into the wall of the ice and fitted with a leaf and frame made of fine wood, which had not decayed through the wind and snow. Inside the Buddha Pavilion, the sky was completely dark. It's a bit deserted inside, but the wind can't blow and the snow can't get wet, which is also a good place to spend the night on the snow-ridden plateau.
Fearing that the cold outside and the snow and ice would be blown in by the back-up wind, they closed the door from the inside. In front of the ice-carved Buddha statues, there are many cushions used by lamas to chant sutras. Lausanne asked everyone to find some bunks together, and it was soft and warm to sit on.
Although no one has cleaned the inside of the Buddha Pavilion for a long time, perhaps because it is made of glacier ice, there is no dust falling, and it looks clean and tidy, as if someone had cleaned it up yesterday.
A few people were really cold, and they didn't have the heart to go up to the top floor to find out. Kampot knelt down and bowed to the Buddha statue, and muttered in his mouth: "I said Buddha, we have encountered a heavy snowstorm, we can only spend the night in your land tonight, and I hope to forgive us for our recklessness, sorry, sorry!"
Yang Jin Ram looked at the structure of this Buddha Pavilion for a long time, and said: "This place should be prosperous with incense before, you look at this magnificent appearance, maybe there is firewood for the fire, we look for it, maybe we can find firewood, and we can also make a fire to keep warm." ”
Kuroko was worried that the fire would melt the temple, so he said, "There is ice everywhere, can you make a fire?
Yayi rubbed his frozen hands and said, "Let's not burn such a big fire, it's still okay to burn a little bit." You said that since it is a Buddhist pavilion, you should have often burned incense or something in it before, and if it was to melt, it would have melted a long time ago. Since it was okay to burn the fire before, it should be okay now. You see it's so cold outside, even if we burn a fire, the heat inside and the cold snap outside will not melt. ”
Everyone thought that what Yayi said made some sense, so they looked around and looked for firewood to burn the fire. Kuroko wanted to go to the second layer to have a look, and Kampot said: "I said Kuroko, you check on the first layer first, generally firewood will not be placed in such a high place." ”
Kuroko turned on the searchlight, and the inside suddenly brightened a lot, and the light of the searchlight was cross-refracted by the ice on the wall, and the whole Buddha pavilion looked like a crystal palace. Although the light is refracted chaotically, it is extremely strong and bright.
Sure enough, in the corner behind the Buddha statue, a stack of burning matches was found. And in front of these ice Buddha statues, there is also an iron brazier.
The brazier's three iron legs are covered with a thick wooden base, presumably to prevent the brazier legs from getting hot and melting the ice beneath their feet when the fire is burning.
It was really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it, and everyone lit a fire in the brazier, lit the candle they carried with them, and it was heated up at once.
Several people took out the dry food they had brought and sat around the brazier, eating while roasting the fire. The snow was falling heavier and heavier outside, and in the dim and dark night, the ground was covered with a white carpet of thick snow, reflecting a faint white light. Except for the sound of falling snow and the occasional desolate sound of the howling wind, there is nothing else, and the wild plateau is silent and lifeless.
After eating, they didn't feel cold, so everyone helped each other bandage the wounds, smeared some anti-inflammatory drugs, and everyone took turns keeping vigil for two hours, so they rested and slept.
Lobsang took Yangjin Ram's hand and lay on the floor paved with the lama's chanting mat, probably too tired, and Yang Jinram quickly fell asleep. Not far away, Kuroko and Kampot also snored. Yayi sat in front of the brazier, and when he could not sleep for a while, he told Lausanne the story of their Lhoba.
Lausanne smoked a cigarette, a wisp of white mist entered his lungs, and the chest that was hit by the big man was stimulated by the cigarette, and he felt faintly painful, but he felt extremely comfortable.
