Chapter 18: Reincarnation Hell
Everyone looked up at Lausanne's voice, and behind the lush foliage, one eye could be faintly seen, staring at them motionlessly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What the is this, watching us all the way, what the hell are you trying to do?" Lausanne had a question mark in his heart, but his men did not stop moving, and with a bang, a black shadow flashed from the canopy of the tree and disappeared into the dark night.
"What's going on tonight, my marksmanship isn't bad, why didn't I hit this eye with two shots?" Lausanne said to himself, his eyes still fixed on the place where the black shadow had disappeared.
Yang Jinram came back to his senses and asked, "Lausanne, what kind of reincarnation hell you just talked about, what is going on?"
The rest of the people were also uneasy, and they all asked, "What is reincarnation hell?"
There are many Buddhist sects in Tibet, in addition to the common Nyingma, Sakya, Kagyu, Gelug and Kadam sects, there is also a forgotten sect called Samsara in the era when the black religion (Bon) was prevalent.
Based on the skulls of these cattle and sheep and some other animal skulls, stone steps, etc., Lausanne speculated: "This place is likely to be the reincarnation hall built by the ancient Black Sect Reincarnation Sect, also known as the Reincarnation Hell." ”
When Yang Jin Lam heard this, he said thoughtfully: "Before the establishment of Tibet, Bon was indeed prevalent on the snowy plateau, and although Bon has a lot to do with Buddhism, I have never heard of a system that follows the Buddhist theory of reincarnation, isn't Buddhism formed after Bon?"
Lobsang put the gun on his back and said, "Indian Buddhism was formed on the basis of the Ben religion in Tibet and the Brahmanism in India. The cow skull is a manifestation of the primitive nature worship and god worship in Tibet, and is the embodiment of the animistic concept of primitive Bon. This is not only a religious ritual of sacrifice and prayer, but also the intersection and connection point of heaven, earth, man and god, representing reincarnation and destiny in the next life. ”
After a pause, he said: "If the skulls of these sacrifices have not been destroyed by later generations in their original position, and go up this step, we are likely to have a psychic sense in the reincarnation hall above the steps, of course, it may also be a ghost or a demon." ”
Gongpot listened to what Lobsang said so amazingly, and then looked at the ruined white bones around him, and couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and said: "I said that you kid don't make a fool of yourself here, if you say it is true, it makes people a little creepy." ”
Lausanne explained: "I'm just speculating, I'll see if what I'm saying is true later." ”
At that moment, everyone opened the safety of the submachine gun and prepared to go up this step to see what was going on.
Lausanne drew his Gurkha scimitar and was the first to step onto the stone steps, with Yangjin Ram following him, gun in hand, ready to face unknown dangers at any time.
I don't know how many floors there are, I have climbed for a long time, and I can't reach the end. It took them a cigarette to climb to the top of these tall canopies in the forest.
Lausanne is not sure how tall the trees are here, but the trees that have grown in this primeval forest for hundreds or even thousands of years are not thirty meters high, but they are twenty-five or six meters high. And these steps directly break through the canopy of these trees. Wait for Lausanne's group to break through the canopy and climb a few more floors, finally reaching the top.
At the top of the stone steps is a large platform made of stone, and in the middle of the platform is a magnificent stone gate, and I don't know what is behind the door.
The stone gate was in disrepair and dilapidated, and the stone gate was covered with rattans, some of which were not yet dead, and the green leaves were swaying in the cold wind in the sky. Standing on the platform, the whole forest was lush at the foot of the eyes, and to Lausanne's surprise, they climbed up without encountering any danger.
Lausanne glanced around and said, "This forest is full of trees, how did the ancients bring these huge stones to build such a magnificent building?"
Yang Jinlam, who was next to Lausanne, shook her head, and she herself did not know the origin of these buildings, so she said to me: "Yes, how did these stones come from, in ancient times, without machinery, it was almost impossible to build such a majestic project by manpower, let alone in this deserted primeval forest. ”
The wind in the air was a bit strong, and Yang Jinlam's long hair was flying in the night. Lausanne motioned for everyone to sit down and rest.
He sat down himself, lit a cigarette, and smoked. Along the way, he spent almost every day in the company of death, thinking about the purpose of the original expedition, and then comparing it with all the strange things he has encountered now, he can't help but fall into deep contemplation.
The year he graduated from university coincided with the slowdown in domestic and foreign economic growth and the overall decline of China's economy.
After submitting more than a dozen resumes and interviewing a few times, Lausanne still had no job to look up to, so he had to temporarily defect to Fa Xiao Kampo, who was in the jewelry and tourist souvenir business in Lhasa. I want to live in him temporarily to get a job to solve my current livelihood, and by the way, I can calm down and plan my life well.
Ready to plan, Lausanne immediately called Kampot to inform him of his thoughts. Kampot was very happy that Lausanne wanted to join him in business, but Kampot felt that it was a bit unreasonable for him to be a college student to give him a part-time job for someone who had only graduated from junior high school, and he felt wronged by Lausanne.
Lausanne can think about it, and the reality of society is also like this, many CEOs of enterprises have removed all kinds of correspondence and trading qualifications, in fact, most of them have not graduated from high school, which is also a phenomenon.
After agreeing to Kampot, Lobsang simply packed his luggage and stepped on the train to Lhasa. It was also on this train that Lausanne met Yangjin Lham, a Nepalese girl studying at a Chinese university for nationalities.
Yang Jin Ram is a major in thangka techniques, and Lausanne is an art student, so he can barely be regarded as a peer. The two chatted happily all the way, and they both had a feeling of hating each other.
After Lhasa, they left each other's contact numbers and hurriedly separated, and Lobsang also opened a shop selling thangkas with the support of Kampot.
One afternoon. The sun in Lhasa is blazing on Barkhor Street, and the square in front of the Jokhang Temple is full of people and believers. Lausanne was squinting in the shop and lying in his chair looking at the familiar scene, when suddenly a phone call woke him up from his lazy trance.
A female voice on the phone asked, "Lausanne, you own a thangka shop?"
Lausanne stretched his waist and said, "Yes, who are you?"
The phone said, "I, Yangjin Ram, do you remember, that Nepalese girl on the train? ”
As soon as Lobsang heard that it was Yangjia Ram, he immediately came to his senses and said, "Hey, it's rare, why did the goddess suddenly think of me?"
Yang Jinlam said in a somewhat anxious tone: "I got a human skin thangka from Nepal, you can help me see if it is true." ”
"Human Pi Thangka, you're not kidding, are you? What age is this, and Human Pi Thangka can still make it so easy for you to get a girl's house?" Lausanne didn't believe his ears, and sat up straight from his chair.
Yang Jin Ram said very seriously: "I'm not kidding, you tell me your specific location, I'm in Lhasa now, I'll bring it to you, let's study it together to see if it's true." ”
"Human skin thangka?" Lausanne sighed and said in his heart, "If it weren't for this human skin thangka, I wouldn't have embarked on this adventure." ”
Kampot, who was on the side, heard Lobsang sigh and asked, "I said, you boy, why did you mention the human pi thangka all of a sudden? Could it be that the position we are in now is recorded in that human pi thangka?"
Lobsang was pulled back to reality by Kampot's words, woke up from his contemplation, and said: "Hey, don't say it, there is really a depiction of reincarnation and hell on the human skin thangka." ”
Yang Jinram frowned and said, "Why didn't I notice that there is a depiction of this place on the human skin thangka?"
Because when Yang Jinlam was about to take out the human skin thangka in his bag, Lausanne swept behind the dilapidated stone gate with the corner of his eye, and a black shadow flashed by......
