Chapter 8: Destroyed Statue Mural

The old lama's face did not change. Hearing me apologize for the magic stick, the old lama smiled and waved his hand and said, "Young men, are you here to travel? I know that you also came here to see Shenshan. In this case, you'd better come to visit with a respectful heart. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, but don't slander Shenshan with words, okay? I nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, we won't slander Shenshan anymore."

The old lama nodded and smiled and said, "In fact, everyone has faith, just like you, your faith is yourself. Sometimes it is more important to believe in yourself than believing in God. As for your friend, I have to say that there is something hidden in him. I don't know if your friend always deals with the dead? " I was stunned after listening to the old lama's words. How did he know that I only believed in myself? And how did he know that the magic stick often robs tombs and deals with some undead?

The magic stick was also shocked by the old lama's words. He looked at me incredulously and then looked at the old lama and said, "Master, how do you know this?" This time, the magic stick tone is full of respect, but it doesn't use many words, which sounds a little strange.

The old lama smiled and said, "It's very simple, because I see that you are surrounded by many undead spirits. They seem to have some hatred against you, but obviously, your evil spirit is very heavy, and they can't help you at all, so you are fine now, but if your evil spirit disappears, I'm afraid they will take advantage of it. I'm in." The magic stick was stunned by the old lama's words and took the old lama's hand and said, "Please help me!"

I also hurried forward and said, "Master, if my friend is really like what you said, please help him." The old lama shook his head with a smile and said, "Everyone has a way to go, and the way they take is different. Since you have chosen, you can only follow this road. No one can help you. However, I hope you will go to more temples and learn some Buddhism in the future. In the future, you can naturally rely on the power of Buddhism to redeem your sins in this life. "

I nodded with a smile. It seemed that what the old lama said seemed to be a little mysterious. I didn't say anything. Of course, the undead in the old lama's eyes may be dazzled or something else. Anyway, I didn't really believe his words. Then we talked with the old lama for a while. After some conversation, I learned that the old lama's name is Luo Tai, which is a living Buddha in a temple far away. The so-called living Buddha is the abbot we are familiar with. He came here on foot for pilgrimage. As for the way of pilgrimage, it is to circle around this divine mountain.

According to the old lama, you can become a Buddha by turning around the divine mountain hundreds of times. Although I can't deny his statement, I will never believe it. If that's really the case, I don't know how many Buddhas exist in the world. Then we said goodbye to the old lama and did not continue to disturb him to circle around the divine mountain, but the old lama told us that if we encounter any situation when traveling, we must find local villagers or lamas, because there are many taboos near the divine mountain. Don't Wang Tu to abide by these parties, otherwise we will be Deadly disaster.

I knew he was kind, and then said goodbye to the Luo Tai Lama. The magic stick and I returned to the hotel. As soon as we arrived at the door, Michiko came over in a hurry and said, "Where have you two gone? I've been looking for you for a long time. I looked at her clothes in a hurry and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Michiko nodded and said, "Professor Taylor just said he wanted to go nearby. He said that he saw a lot of statues, murals and other works of art when he came in just now. I said I would wait for you to come back, but they kept saying that they would just look around nearby and come back."

"What about them now?" I asked quickly. Michiko pointed to the east and said, "I've been there for a long time. It's been about an hour. I've been waiting for you, so I didn't follow you." I nodded and said to the magic stick, "Let's go and have a look. Just now, the old lama said that there are many taboos here. It doesn't seem to be a joke. In case something happens to these people, we will leave later."

The magic stick nodded and said, "You said that these people are the same. If you don't stay in the hotel well, you have to run out to see some murals. You're full. All right, go and have a look." Then the three of us walked east. To the east is in the direction of Shenshan. Rinpoqi, the divine mountain standing among the mountains, seems to be a huge pagoda, but the top of the mountain is foggy, which is rare on the plateau of Tibet and adds a layer of mystery to it.

Michiko and the magic stick and I trotted all the way and did not find the shadow of Professor Taylor and his party. Later, after intinging, we found out that this group of foreigners had been out of the village for a long time and walked in the direction of Gang Renboqi. Several of us began to chase again and chased them for about half an hour before finding them in a small hill at the foot of the mountain.

There are many statues here. Professor Taylor is introducing the origin of these statues to his students. It seems that this Tibetan scholar lives up to his reputation. He actually knows most of the statues here. However, these statues have basically fallen after years of wind and rain erosion, and some even have half of their bodies left.

When Professor Taylor saw the three of us coming, pointing to the statues that had been weathered, he said angrily, "Your government simply doesn't take these precious things seriously. It's incredible that they have been destroyed like this. Do you know that these exquisite statues and murals How important is it to study the origin of Shenshan? And this, look, look, this is obviously stolen. The government here doesn't take these things too seriously. These are all babies!"

Looking at Professor Taylor like this, we have nothing to say. As soon as I was about to persuade him, I heard the magic stick sneered and said, "Professor Taylor, these things are all under the government's control. It's useless for you to lose your temper with us. Besides, these things are just statues. Since these statues dare If it is placed in broad daylight, naturally someone will come to steal it. Not to mention these statues, even the ancient tombs buried in the ground have been excavated cleanly, not to mention these things exposed outside. Those thieves have left a lot of face by carrying these things.

Professor Taylor looked at us and stamped his feet angrily and said, "If everyone thinks like you, the things here will be stolen sooner or later. These are cultural relics and priceless. No, I must report them to your government." Looking at Professor Taylor's appearance, I quickly pulled the magic stick, and then smiled and said to Professor Taylor, "You calm down. In fact, these things really need to be strengthened to protect, but so far, the government doesn't seem to want to protect them, but these things are originally outdoors and very troublesome to protect. I think you have studied them. A lifetime of antiques should be understood.

Professor Taylor nodded and sighed, "Yes, it's really difficult to protect these things, but this doesn't mean that they can't be protected. If you work harder, those thieves like mice will be much more restrained." I smiled and said, "Professor Taylor, in fact, sometimes not everyone cares about these things as much as you do, just like locals. They have lived here for generations. It has long been common for this kind of thing. It is more appropriate for them to protect some of their most common things than to capture and herd sheep. ."

"But after all, these things are antiquity and the legacy left by our predecessors to all mankind. We can't just discard them." Professor Taylor said. I nodded and said, "Yes, it's indeed a legacy, but now it may be that the relevant departments don't pay attention to it, but for some reasons, so I haven't arrived here yet. I think everything will be fine in the future." When Professor Taylor saw me say that, he could only nod and sigh.

After several people walked around, they basically saw almost everything. Of course, during this period, Professor Ye You Taylor's students took pictures of these things and took photos together. Suddenly, we heard Professor Taylor's student Sandy say something loudly in English. We all looked up at him and saw Sandy standing on the height of a mountain, pointing to a place at the foot of the mountain and saying loudly. Because I couldn't understand English, I had to ask his son what he was saying.

I didn't know until Michiko's translation. After a long time, Sandy seemed to have found something. Let's go and have a look. Several people hurried to Sandy's escalade and saw Sandy pointing to a relatively far-reaching escalade in front of them. There seemed to be many statues and murals, large and small. It seemed that the statues and murals there were very intact and did not seem to have been excavated at all. Compared with the statues and murals here, there It's simply heaven.

At this time, Professor Taylor was also excited. He looked at the mountain in front of him and had to go and have a look. I had no choice but to agree. Now we have nothing. There are still two or three hours left when it's dark. It seems that there is no problem to come out after watching it from the mountain pass, so I agreed.

The group turned around the pass and walked for about half an hour before they came to this small pass. They saw that the pass was formed by a relatively large valley. There were more than ten-meter-high peaks on both sides of the valley, which did not look very steep. The mountains on both sides were carved with countless statues and murals, preserved. It is also complete. Professor Taylor was very excited at this time. Just as he wanted to go in, I looked up at the small valley and saw a stone tablet standing at the entrance of the valley, which said "No entry."

Still the same sentence, collect red tickets!
