Chapter 172: Grandpa Kangba

The company commander disagreed and said: What are you talking about ancient tombs? Tibetan areas are all sky burials. Wherever there are ancient tombs, it must be those spy turtles who made it horrifying. You don’t even think about it, Ge Laozi

Yes, I don’t believe it.

The old lama has been dealing with the Han people for a long time and can speak Chinese clearly. Seeing that the officers of the army did not believe him, he decided to follow us to prevent us from disturbing the fierce mountains and ghost lakes. Tibetans are a nation that worships mountains and lakes. In their eyes, mountains and lakes

They are all incarnations of gods. In addition to sacred mountains and holy lakes, there are also evil mountains and unlucky lakes. However, these places are controlled by Buddhism. The lama is worried that we Han people do not know what is going on and will cause some trouble. But these words

I couldn't say it outright, so I had to say that I was leading the way and assisting the army.

Seeing that the old lama volunteered to lead the way, the company commander of course agreed and said, "It's necessary." Then he led our temporary reinforcement team, the Dongquan Soldiers, out of the station.

I listened to their words and thought that our company commander is a good fighter. Before coming to Kunlun Mountains, although he had received training in ethnic policy, his understanding of Tibet, an ancient and mysterious place, was still too low.

.

I was not very young at the time, and I had only scratched the surface of tomb culture and the secrets of Feng Shui. But I knew that these five burial customs had coexisted in Tibet for thousands of years. Burials are not unheard of, but they are very special.

It is the most ominous type of tomb in Tibet and is taboo for normal people. Those who have committed serious crimes will be buried in the soil after death and will never be reincarnated. Maybe there really is such an ancient tomb in the abandoned Great Phoenix Temple.

It was only ten years later that I fully understood that burials in Tibet were not as simple as I understood at the time. In ancient times, many nobles were influenced by Chinese culture and were willing to accept burials in the Muri Mountains southwest of Qiongjie.

There are a large number of tombs of Zongpu from the Tubo Dynasty around the 7th and 8th centuries AD. There are about 30 tombs. They are collectively known as Tibetan tombs in the world. They are all square domes, tens of meters high, and made of rammed earth and stone.

The most famous person buried inside is Songtsen Gampo. Many people say that this is the form of a pagoda burial site, but its essence is no different from the mountain tombs of the Tang Dynasty.

However, at that time, these words were naturally not allowed to be spoken in the army. As a revolutionary soldier, you must obey orders and follow instructions, and do whatever your superiors ask you to do.

The distance from where we left the place to the Great Phoenix Temple on the mountain pass is not far, but there is no road. The mountains are rugged and extremely difficult to walk, and the altitude difference is huge. The weather is different for thousands of miles. It is still snowing on the mountain ridges, but it is snowing below the mountains.

It is like spring all year round. The desolate area around the Great Phoenix Temple is originally a no-man's land, just because in front of the mountain gate here, there is a meadow that is green all year round. Occasionally, some Tibetan herdsmen go there to collect some winter grass for emergencies.

The mountains are not good, and the lakes are not good either. People and livestock often disappeared inexplicably in the past, so the herdsmen should try not to go if they can.

The lama led his old horse, which was carrying something, and led the way. They walked for nearly half a day and passed several mountain bends. The snow suddenly started to fall heavily. Lead clouds hung low in the sky, and there were goose-feather flakes of snow.

, overwhelmingly spread down, the surrounding undulating Kunlun Mountains are like layers of frozen white waves. Looking around, everywhere is covered with silver and jade, with frost and snow hanging on it. Although the scene of heavy snowfall is spectacular, it is...

People trekking on the ridge brought many difficulties.

Director Xu and local cadre officer Lu Weiguo were the two weaker members of our team. As the road got higher and higher, the sky gradually became darker, and they all developed mild altitude sickness.

It seemed that we had to climb over the ridge in front to reach the Great Phoenix Temple at the pass. The company commander conveyed the order to find a sheltered place for everyone to rest for a while, eat something to replenish their strength, and then rush to the destination in one go.

So our small team stopped temporarily. The female military doctor Ga Hong who came with the team is a Deqin Tibetan. Her original name is Gema, which means star in Tibetan. Ga Hong checked it with Director Xu and others.

It doesn't matter, it's just that I have been walking for too long and my cardiopulmonary function has declined, which has led to this situation. This is a mountain valley, and the altitude is not too high. Drink a few bowls of butter tea, which can reduce altitude sickness, and then rest.

After a while, there were no more problems, and there was no need to take any medicine.

The old lama found a big stone and built a stove with gravel on the leeward side. He lit a small fire with dried cow dung, heated the butter tea and distributed it to us. Finally, he came to the big man and I, and the old lama was smoking with one hand.

Turn the prayer wheel, hold the teapot in one hand, pour the tea into the bowl, and then say: May you have good luck.

I was already freezing, so I thanked the lama, drank the whole bowl of butter tea with one tilt of my neck, and wiped my mouth. I had never thought that this drink mixed with sesame, salt, butter tea and other messy things was so delicious.

What a delicious drink. Now, in this world of ice and snow, with such a hot bowl, I suddenly feel that there is nothing better to drink in the world.

When the female military doctor Gema saw that I drank quickly, she asked the lama for a teapot and poured me another bowl: drink slowly and don't burn your mouth. The custom in Tibetan areas is that when drinking tea, don't drink it too cleanly.

, I have to leave the bottom of the bowl, so as to show that the owner is generous. After saying that, he smiled at me and turned around to help the lama make tea.

I looked at her back and said to the big man next to me: I think military doctor Yuma is really good. He treats his comrades as warmly as spring, especially like my sister.

The big man asked: "You have a sister in your hometown. I haven't heard you tell me about her. What does she look like? Let's take a look at the whole photo."

I was just about to tell the big man that I only had such a beautiful and amiable sister in my dreams, when I heard the sentry correspondent suddenly shout: Something is happening.

The people who had gathered around the fire to keep warm immediately felt as if their whole bodies were electrified. They kicked up the snow, suppressed the fire, and quickly fell to the ground. At the same time, there was a short and powerful sound of pulling the gun bolt.

However, all I could see was white snow flying around, the night was still and dark, and only the lonely cold wind was whistling by.

The company commander lay on the snow and watched the surroundings with vigilance. He opened his mouth and cursed: "What's going on? Chen Xing, you idiot. If you dare to lie about the military situation, I'll shoot you first. Do you believe it or not?"

Correspondent Chen Xing shouted to Qu in a low voice: Company Commander, I guarantee with my head that I saw it right. Just now on the top of the mountain over there, several green lights suddenly lit up.

I said to the company commander: Could it be like what was shown in the hidden sentry in Yangcheng? It was a contact signal sent by the enemy. I don’t know if we have been exposed. Just let me go over and conduct reconnaissance.

The company commander nodded and said: Yes, when you go, you should be careful when you go forward. It's best to catch him alive and come back.

We saw five small green lights suddenly appearing dozens of meters away from us. Because it was dark and the surface of the barren mountainous area was covered with snow, it was difficult to distinguish the terrain over there. These five green lights followed the wind.

The snow moved slowly and erratically, like a few will-o'-the-wisps, flickering in and out, spinning in circles around us.

At this point, we all raised our semi-automatic rifles and aimed at the target, but the company commander said that no one was allowed to shoot until we understood the situation clearly. At this time, the old horse in Lama Land suddenly started neighing and kept neighing.

When he had to put down his horse, the lama hurriedly held the horse, stroked its mane and chanted sutras to appease it, and then told us that the guardian deity in charge of livestock had been disturbed by a pack of wolves.

I looked at the five green dots that flickered and appeared and disappeared. Could it be that there was a one-eyed white wolf?

King, but the military and civilians have cooperated recently and have been hunting wolves so much that the Fang group has almost disappeared. Unexpectedly, they even hid in the mountains. Their sudden appearance is probably not a good sign, and I don’t know what kind of disaster it will bring.

The three wolves circled around us for several times. The company commander asked the big man to fire a shot into the air to scare them away, so as not to attract more hungry wolves and cause unnecessary trouble to us. The current urgent task is not to kill wolves.

, but to search and rescue the missing comrades, so the big man fired a shot in the air, a domestic Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, and the unique sound of gunfire pierced the night sky.

The few wolves around seemed to know the power of the weapons in the hands of us soldiers and did not dare to stay any longer. Soon they disappeared into the wind and snow under the cover of night. The company commander said that maybe the squad in front was on the way back.

I was attacked by a pack of wolves, but then I thought that this possibility was unlikely. With more than a dozen semi-automatic rifles, no matter how many wolves there were, they couldn't get close. The weather was bad now. Compared with the pack of wolves, what was more terrifying was the penetration.

There are many potential threats from enemy agents entering the mountainous area, and the missing team must be found immediately.

We set off immediately, crossed a large ridge, and walked down a very steep hillside. Below was a meadow. There was no snow here, the temperature was relatively high, but it was still very cold. There was smoke and grass everywhere, and the land was dilapidated and desolate.

The temple is hidden in the grass.

Caodianzi is surrounded by ancient trees and wolf forests, and the area is really quite large. There are not many of us, so it is not easy to search such a large area, so we divided into two groups. The company commander took the correspondent and cook Lu Weiguo, a military doctor from Dikan Hospital.

The five people from Ga Hong formed a group, and the remaining four people, including the big lama Xu, and myself, formed the second group. The company commander arranged for me to be in charge of the second group for the time being.

The two groups searched from the left and right wings respectively. I led the second group and pushed aside the weeds that were nearly a person tall. I groped my way deeper with my gun in hand. I pushed aside the weeds and could see the blurry sections covered under them.

The ancient stone paths are all relics of temples in the Qing Dynasty. I thought that these relics can be used to confirm the direction, so I wanted to continue walking, but I was grabbed by the old lama. He said to me: Se Dajun,

This road is not for people to walk on. Puse: young people

I thought to myself that if it was for people to walk, it would be for ghosts to walk. So I said to the lama: The country belongs to the people, and the people walk the road of the people. In China, no matter whether it is a big road or a small road, it is the road of socialism. Why not let it go?

Walk

Director Xu felt that I was speaking too hastily, so he stopped me and said: Local comrades are cooperating with us in carrying out our tasks, and I think we should listen more to their opinions.

The lama took out an old iron rod from his colorful satchel and said: I have been an iron rod lama for two generations of living Buddhas for forty years. I know everything about the things in this temple. I must not go down that road.

, you just follow me, the origin of this abandoned temple is not ordinary. After saying that, I walked around from the side, singing scriptures as I walked: Steel subjugates evil spirits, has forty-five magical powers, wonderful virtues, give me correct cultivation and have accomplished it.

When all enemies appear, all evil will be extinguished

None of us could understand the meaning of the mantra he sang. We thought that the Red Guards would have captured and criticized this mantra in the mainland, that is, in the Tibetan area. I had no choice but to follow behind and asked the lama if I had nothing to say:

Old comrade Lama Ak, since you are so familiar with this ruined temple, can you tell us why this temple fell into disuse soon after it was built?

The lama stopped and turned around after hearing the words, a dark cloud appeared on his old face: Legend has it that the last generation of ghost mothers in the demon country and the giant cicada's demon-killing bowl were buried here. Even the mighty gold steel offered in the temple could not suppress it.

, things got serious and too many people and animals died, so it had to be deserted. Book Alliance
