Volume 2 Adventures in Tibet Chapter 045 Lama
The next thing was handed over to Luo Jianfen to deal with, and in the torture room of 725, the man didn't survive for half an hour before he was all teased. Luo Jianfen learned that they still had a stronghold in the suburbs, and the leader lived in an old house temporarily.
In the early hours of the morning, the suburbs.
Luo Jianfen and I carefully investigated, and it was already empty, and finally I stood up and concluded: "Now it seems that I am afraid that the people have been withdrawn." You see, these are the marks left by continuous pedaling with their feet, who would they be? ”
Luo Jianfen walked out with a broken blanket and a small ornament, slightly proud, and said, "It seems that they are in a hurry." ”
I looked at the dirty blanket and asked, "What is this?" ”
"This is a silk blanket, and it is not clear what kind of wool it is, but from the workmanship, it is very Tibetan style in the 13th century. This pendant is a gilded gawu with a set of Buddha crucifixions inside. ”
The two of us returned home in a huff, and I was puzzled along the way, "Who is the other party, and they evacuated in advance because we were exposed?" ”
"The problem shouldn't be so bad." Luo Jianfen analyzed, "It can only be said that the other party is very vigilant, not necessarily that we have been exposed, our people have confirmed that the wasp kid is still in school, if we were exposed, he would have withdrawn a long time ago." ”
I nodded, the stone in my heart was lowered a little, and it didn't take long for Luo Jianfen to receive the analysis report of the blanket, "It has been determined, this is the silk carpet of the Saga Dynasty, and on it are the Buddha of Joy and the concubines." However, this material is very special, not cattle or horses, not sheep and not camels, it is very rare. ”
"Really?" I looked at the unnamed blanket and became a little interested, "Are there any other clues?" ”
"Yes!" Luo Jianfen pointed to the Gawu pattern on the blanket and said, "You see, this bird pattern was embroidered later, and we have checked, this pattern is unique to a mysterious tribe in Tibet. ”
"Tibet?" I was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems that my judgment is not wrong, these people are really from Tibet, and they should have followed the clues of ancient Tibetan religion." ”
Luo Jianfen nodded and said, "It seems that you have also noticed the ancient Tibetan religion, you look at the small words on both sides, this is Shantideva's text: 'All the disasters in the world, fear and suffering, are all born by the self, and this demon needs it in a year.'" The picture inside has the Buddha's interpretation, in the sorrowful heaven and hell, devoured by ten thousand ghosts, and later the legendary unicorn, through the ninety-nine heavens, the Buddha was rescued from the sorrowful heaven and hell. ”
"It's getting more and more interesting."
"Not only that, but the legends recorded in this sutra are also unique to this tribe, and there is no record of it in any Buddhist scripture ceremony."
"Huh?!" My cranial nerves were touched by this information, and I was overjoyed, the weight of this information was quite heavy, "Great, this shows that this tribe has a lot to do with the whole thing!" ”
"Having said that, now that our only clue is broken, how can we find it?"
"Where is this tribe, why don't we just go and find it?"
"It's not that simple, this tribe only has incomplete records in the history books, and there are only some historical artifacts that can find a little bit of their shadow. In modern times, there are no records or clues about them, so doing so is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
"......," I said, feeling a little discouraged, "don't you even know the general extent of their lives?" ”
Luo Jianfen shook his head, "Yes, it's just that no one has ever been there." ”
Now that all the clues are concentrated, it is very likely that the person we are looking for is this mysterious tribe, who should be inextricably linked to ancient Tibetan religion, but we know very little about them.
"In this way, it is really not a wonderful thing that the clue is broken." I'm a little lost in my heart, "Or ......"
Luo Jianfen seemed to know what I was going to say, she glanced at me, she was very angry, and said: "I know that you are in Cao Ying's heart and in Han, but you have to remember who I am doing this for, please don't let down anyone who pays for you." ”
I was stunned, although I hadn't said it just now, it was indeed a bit out of place, Luo Jianfen did this, it was already very face-saving, so I had to act it back.
"Wait a little longer, I'll report it to the professor, I believe he must have a way."
"I hope so."
Back at the compound of the 735 Institute, it was another period of waiting, during which we went out to check for clues several times, but in vain, until one afternoon, a phone call from Ye Heping finally broke the calm of the autumn afternoon.
Luo Jianfen said that Ye Heping had found a person who knew clues about the mysterious tribe. As soon as I heard this, I jumped up from the couch and headed straight outside. According to Luo Jianfen, it is said that this person is a Tibetan, who is over the age of old, and was a serf born poor in his early years.
So I always thought that he was just an ordinary old servant, and there were many such serfs in Tibet before the liberation, and after the liberation, some of them became self-sufficient, and some of them were not willing to leave the original noble masters, so they stayed in the noble family.
In Ye Heping's reception room, I saw this wrinkled, calloused old servant, Ye Heping said, I knew that this old servant was actually a "living map". For example, the mysterious Tea Horse Road and the Hump Route, such a famous and dangerous road can be opened up with his merits, and the most surprising thing to me is the opening of the Nanga Bhava Peak Line.
Nanga Bhava Peak is a cliff next to the Brahmaputra River, it is the highest peak of 7000 meters in Tibet, the original Tibetan language means "the spear that pierces the sky", the difficulty of climbing can be imagined, and this old servant has more than seventy, he surveyed Nanga Bhava Peak when he was more than half a hundred years old, that is how ordinary people can do.
"Hello grandpa, do you know the tribe of this pattern?" I'm straight to the point.
"Yes, this is the totem of the Yada clan."
"Do you know where the Yada are?"
"What? For...... Why do you want to go there, young master? ”
"It's important to us, please."
The old servant shook his head slowly and said, "No, no, I know the place you said, but I have never been there. ”
I looked at him expectantly, and he said with great embarrassment, "It is a land cursed by the gods, with ominous black clouds bringing eternal gloom, and the night being shrouded in evil aura. Only those who have lost their conscience are thrown into a hell from which there will never be any return. ”
"If you must go there, you can go to someone."
"Who?"
"Only he has access to that terrible land."
"Please tell us."
"Lady Siti."
"Thiti Lama?"
"Yes, he is a lama, a kind person. The Medicine Master Liuliguang Buddha threw himself into hell and used the flowers of the six mandalas to unravel thousands of years of grievances, and he is the patron saint of the Tibetan people, guarding the dead souls whose souls have been discarded and wandered on the Huangquan Road and cannot turn back. ”
I know from his words and deeds that he is a devout believer, and whether this lama in his mouth is really a person, "Then where is this Siti Lama?" ”
"When Professor Ye came to me, I knew that you would definitely look for him, and he is outside the door now."
I was taken aback, could it really be that the Buddha was destined for someone, I suddenly opened my eyes wide, and said excitedly, "Invite him in." ”
When I met Lama Siti, he was sitting alone on the ground, with a blanket on the floor, and he looked very religious. The lama, who was about seventy years old, had gray hair, but was very neatly dressed, walked softly, and before he could see us, he said, "You don't understand, the conditions there are unimaginably bad. ”
"So you know, where the hell is it?"
"In ...... To be precise, it should be in the south of Tibet, and the south is western. ”
"Can you be specific?" I frowned, thinking to myself that if it was in southwestern Tibet, it would most likely be the Himalayan region running through it.
Lama Siti muttered in Tibetan, "That's where the devil lives." ”
He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you know why the Sino-Indian border has not been demarcated for a long time?" ”
"Huh?" I hesitated, "That's a legacy of history." ”
Siti stroked the wrinkles on his face, as if he still had difficulty deciding, he closed his eyes slightly and said, "That's just one aspect. And more importantly - surveying that place, it's too difficult! ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Many years ago, Naxi, the servant you met, went with the survey team, and he was the best guide in Tibet. It is a continuous snow-capped mountain, and in front of you, there are always snow-capped peaks, and no matter how long you walk, those peaks are still in front of you, as if you are advancing, and they are also advancing. ”
Hearing this, Luo Jianfen and I were in a dilemma, my eyes widened, and I smiled bitterly: "Teacher Luo, do you know where we are going, from his words, I judge that this has also circled the highest peak in the world!" ”
"Could it be that the Yada are in the Himalayas?"
"Yes, the survey team set off from the Everest base camp and sent more than 30 batches back and forth, but no team has ever returned to the Everest base camp. They lost their way in the wind and snow, and their bodies will not be corrupted until they die, and their souls are imprisoned in the divine peak. ”
"Could it be that the life of the Yada people is there?"
"Yes, it is said that the Yada people live in that area, and no one knows how they survived." Lama Siti said earnestly, "I know I can't stop you, if you insist on going, you can go from Yadong to the west, or you can go south from Dingjie or Gangpa, and Gangpa's road is better." ”
"I still have a question?"
"Excuse me."
"Have you seen the Yada?"
"Yes, I have seen them very early, I only know this general range, but some people say that they have also seen Yada people in the west, but I can't be sure, I have only seen them three times in my life, and the last time was in Gamba."
