After these idle people dispersed, I explained to the lama my purpose of coming.
I wanted to go to the ancient tomb of the evil god of the Demon Kingdom and asked Lama Ake to find a singer and guide for our expedition team who was familiar with the history of the Demon Kingdom and the Ling Kingdom. .
Lama Tiebang said that digging up ancient tombs was a sinful thing, but digging up ancient tombs in the Demon Kingdom was different.
Demons are sealed in the tombs of the Demon Kingdom, which is a major threat to the people.
In history, many monks with advanced practices wanted to eliminate demons and protect the Dharma, and completely eradicate the ancient tombs of the Demon Kingdom to prevent the evil god from returning to the world.
But since I don’t have any clues, since you are willing to go, this is a good deed with immeasurable merit.
The singers and poets who are familiar with the ancient deeds of Tibet are all given by heaven.
They do not recognize the form of father to son or master to disciple.
They are all people who suddenly become able to sing after suffering a serious illness or sleeping.
Recite millions of words of poetry.
Before I became a monk, I was a person ordained by heaven, but it has been almost thirty years since I spoke about it.
The poems about the World's Enemy-Conquering Orb, the Great Army King, and the Reincarnation of the Jade-Eyed Orb, I can hardly remember them anymore.
Lama Tiebang immediately decided to go with me to destroy the demon king's tomb.
As the Buddha's Tiebang protector, this elimination of demons was a top priority.
Although I haven’t recited the poem of the Enemy-Conquering Orb King for more than thirty years, I learned it from Heaven, and if I think about it carefully, I can still remember a lot.
I'm worried that the lama is getting older.
After all, he is sixty years old and cannot be compared to before.
According to the clues in the scriptures, the demon tower enshrining the "Glacier Crystal Corpse" is at the top of the snow mountain.
What should he do if something unexpected happens to him.
Tiebang Lama said: "I made a great wish to go around the lake here, but the child of Gema is still not getting better.
I hope that this time I can do something great and bring Gema's soul back from the underworld.
Tibetans believe that when a person loses his mind, he is separated."
After the deed is accomplished, practitioners will have to come back and go around the lake to fulfill their vows.
Practitioners have completely different views on death and life.
If you die while accumulating merit, you will surely be reborn in bliss."
When I saw that the lama was determined to go, I also felt that I was getting what I wanted.
Lama Tiebang was well versed in Tibetan customs and also understood tantric medical principles.
With his guidance and help, I would be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
So we packed up and were still taken by Wangdui to the Ngari area under the Himalayas in the westernmost part of Tibet.
At Senge Zangbo, we met up with Fatty Uncle Ming and others, who had just arrived.
When I count the number of people, it seems that there is one more person.
In addition to me and the four people, Fatty, Shiry Yang, and Tiebang Lama, there are Peter Huang, Han Shuna, and Axiang on Uncle Ming's side.
It turns out that Uncle Ming's horse boy A Dong is also here. .
I asked the fat man why Adong also came with him.
The fat man told me that Adong's grandson usually ran errands for Uncle Ming.
This time he knew that Uncle Ming was going to do big business, so he begged Uncle Ming to bring him with him every day.
Later, I went to Da Jinya and asked Da Jinya to say something nice.
After receiving the benefit, Da Jinya persuaded Uncle Ming, saying that the lowest place in Tibet has an altitude of over 4,000, so he had to bring someone to serve the oxygen bottles. , doesn’t this just require A Dong to carry oxygen bottles for them?
I thought to myself that it’s really fucking lively this time.
There are more and more people.
We haven’t even reached Guge King City yet.
There are nine people there, but there is nothing we can do.
Once we find clues about the reincarnation place of the demon kingdom in the demon tower, we can follow They act separately and cannot always be mixed together.
There was no road to the Guge ruins at that time, so we had to ask the guide to hire a few yaks and let a few people with severe altitude sickness ride on the yaks.
Fortunately, there were no heavy supplies.

After resting for two days in Senger Zangbo, a small town with only a hundred households, we set off to the ruins of the royal city to look for the ancient silver eyes.
The road was very desolate, without any human habitation.
The yellow and sparse grass was scattered on the Gobi.
There was no wind.
Looking at the sky, my eyes were filled with blue, which made the dry soil and grass on the ground a bit dazzling.
The brown mountains in the distance look towering and strange, making people dare not look too far.
We were not moving very fast.
I was holding the yak for the lama, and Tiebang Lama was telling me the poems he had learned from heaven on the back of the yak.
They were all about monsters, ghosts, and monsters, and the coming battles.
At this time, some wooden piles protruding from the ground appeared on the roadside.
Shiry Yang said that they looked like the ruins of an ancient tomb.
When he heard about the ancient tomb, even Uncle Ming, who was lying on the back of a cow and had difficulty breathing, became more energetic and stretched his neck to look at the roadside.
The guide said that those ancient tombs have long been deserted, and the contents inside are gone.
Don’t look at this place as desolate and barren.
In fact, around the Tang Dynasty, it was filled with Qilian juniper trees.
The structure of the ancient tombs is paved with whole Qilian juniper trees.
This kind of strange tree likes drought but not tide.
It can only be found in the mountains at the junction of Qinghai and Tibet.
It was given to the Tubo King by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and transported thousands of miles away. , but after the civil strife in Tubo, these tombs were destroyed, but the remains have been preserved to this day.
After walking through the ruins of this desolate ruins, we walked for about a day before arriving at the ancient city.
This place has been discovered for a long time.
In addition to a large number of murals, sculptures and statues, there are ruins of the city.
At that time, it did not attract the attention of the autonomous county government, nor did it install iron gates and send people to guard it a few years later.
At that time, no one traveled all the way to see the ruins.
From the bottom of the mountain, we can see that there is a drop of more than 300 meters from the hillside to the top of the mountain.
There are buildings and caves everywhere that are the same color as the soil.
Except for the temples with relatively strong structures, most of the remaining houses have collapsed, and some only have some earthen walls left, with the remains of city walls and watchtowers on the periphery.
The entire royal city is built on the mountain.
The highest point is the royal palace on the top of the mountain, the middle layer is the temple, and the bottom is the residences and peripheral defensive buildings.
I said to Uncle Ming: "The Guge ruins are not big, but it will take us some time to find these hundreds of houses and caves.
Where exactly is the Guge Silver Eye you mentioned?
Let's go directly according to the target.
Just look for it.”
Due to altitude sickness, Uncle Ming's thinking had become very slow.
It took him a long time to remember that he was probably in a temple, not a palace.
According to the records in the scriptures, there should be a Samsara Temple here, it should be right there.
Among the ruins of the royal city, several temples stand out from the crowd, which can be clearly seen at a glance.
Of course, there are red temple, white temple, reincarnation temple and other temple ruins.
We couldn't tell which one was right, so we had to ask Tiebang Lama for advice.
Of course, the lama could tell which one was the Samsara Temple from the structure outside, so he pointed out the direction and passed through the Dharma Protector Temple.
The temple site with several red pillars behind it was the Samsara Temple dedicated to the ancient silver eye.
Explorers had visited this place as early as the 1930s, and I had never heard of any danger.
However, for the sake of safety, I gave Fatty a shotgun, carried one myself, and led the team around.
Layers of earth walls climbed halfway up the mountain.
Among the ruins here, the houses are basically not well preserved.

If it is just dry, that's it.
During the rainy season, there are heavy rains here.
Year after year of weathering and erosion, the once dense soil has become brittle.
It shatters bit by bit, and becomes a piece of dust when external force is applied.
The broken walls and ruins and other protruding parts have all been worn away.
The city that was once full of vitality is being digested by nature silently.
We were afraid of being hit by the collapsed building wall pillars, so we tried to find open places to go around.
Uncle Ming and his wife could still barely hold on, but the frail Axiang couldn't bear it anymore.
Climbing higher would have to kill someone.
Uncle Ming had no choice but to let Peter Huang stay at the bottom of the mountain to look after her, while the rest continued to move forward and climbed to By the time they arrived at the Dharma Protector Temple, most of the people were out of breath.
I was quite accustomed to the thin air, but when I rested against the wall and saw the murals in the temple, my breathing immediately became heavier.
The fat man gasped and said to me: "Old Hu, I didn't expect that this place is a sanitation corner of spiritual civilization, and there are such powerful pornographic pictures.
If you want to see it in Beijing, you have to be imprisoned."
The murals here are all about tantric male and female practitioners.
The painting style is fierce and the colors are strong, which makes people blush.
Going further in, the content of the murals suddenly changed, and they were all about the suffering of reincarnation in hell.
The torture in hell was described layer by layer.
The scene was horrific.
The lama said that this temple was a forbidden area hundreds of years ago.
Ordinary people could only go inside when they reached the door.
Except for clergy, kings could not enter at will.
The former glory and forbidden areas have all collapsed and weathered.
After catching our breath, we filed in.
The Samsara Temple behind the temple is relatively well-preserved because it is recessed inside and has been slightly less eroded by wind and rain.
The most prominent thing in the temple are several large red pillars.
There are layers of lamps embedded in the pillars.
The roof on the pillars has been damaged, with several big holes leaking out.
The statues and other decorations are gone.
I don’t know if they were stolen.
Even after that, they all rotted into soil.
I looked around and saw that everything here was dilapidated and there were no antique reliefs.
Uncle Ming pointed to the top of his head: "That's probably the carving he's referring to."
We raised our eyes and looked up.
There was enough daylight at that time, and the sunlight was shining in through the holes in the roof.
Looking up was a bit dazzling and made our eyes dazzled, but we could see that the entire roof was a colorful picture, half of which was colorful.
The carvings are half-painted, and although some of them have fallen off and some were damaged due to the collapse of the building, about 75% of them have been preserved.
In the center of this mural on the top is a huge eyeball.
The outer circle is a radial totem, divided into eight colors.
Each one is a different mythical beast.
The outermost circle is dozens of naked figures.
Xing Mu's manners are all the same, and as expected, this is the ancient Tantra Feng Shui coordinates Guge Yinyan.
I said to Uncle Ming, it’s time to take out the ancient scripture for us to look at.
If we don’t read it clearly, we can’t figure out the specific location of the demon tower with these coordinates alone.
Uncle Ming found a giant red pillar and sat down against it to catch his breath.
A Dong took out the oxygen tube and gave him a few puffs before he could speak and reached into his bag to touch the scripture.

At this time, there was a sudden click, and a pillar in the temple fell down.
Everyone shouted and hurriedly ran away to avoid it.
The huge pillar collapsed suddenly.
In the chaos, it was not clear whether it hit anyone.
It turns out that the foundation of the pillar that Uncle Ming was leaning on was rotten, and it seemed like nothing would happen if he poked it there.
But as soon as he leaned on it, it collapsed.
Fortunately, it fell to the outside.
Otherwise, the hall was narrow and other pillars would have been knocked down. , you have to smash people to death.
Seeing that a big pillar was missing from the roof, although it had not collapsed yet, everyone did not dare to stay in the temple.
They all wanted to go out first and wait until they were in a safe place outside.
As we walked outside, we suddenly discovered that a huge dark space was revealed in an earthen wall that had been knocked down by a pillar.
It seemed to be a sealed secret room.
When the wall collapsed, the rotten air rushed out.
It is said that the Italians found a large number of caves in this ruins, with different functions.
The more famous one is the headless mummy cave, and there is also a weapons cave for storing weapons, but they are far away from the Samsara Temple.
The secrets in this temple Cave, what's in it?
The fat man found a flashlight, turned it on and looked inside.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to what was inside.
The outermost one is a bronze statue with three eyes and four arms wearing a crown of transformed Buddha, sitting cross-legged on a lotus pedestal on a beast seat, with three shining silver eyes shining in the golden Buddha statue.
However, behind the three-eyed Buddha statue, there is a tightly closed black iron door.
The door is covered with countless spells and scriptures, as if there is something locked inside that cannot be released.
Everyone was attracted by this weird and mysterious cave.
They gathered around and looked inside with flashlights.
What was inside the black iron door?
Why were there so many mantras hung on it?
Shiry Yang said that Professor Du Qi, an Italian Tibetan researcher and explorer, made a conservative estimate after discovering the Guge ruins.
The scale of the preserved ruins here includes about 500 houses and palaces, and 60 bunkers and watchtowers.
There are thirty pagodas of various types, and several defensive walls and pagoda walls.
The largest among them is the underground cave in the royal city, with almost a thousand eyes.
This shows that the area and scale of the underground facilities of the Guge Dynasty's castles even far exceeded those built above ground.
Everyone asked the lama whether there was a silver-eyed Buddha statue in this cave.
Is it a Buddhist scripture cave or a cave-shaped Buddhist hall?
Tiebang Lama didn't answer, but walked straight over the broken wall and walked into the secret space.
I was worried about the danger inside, so I followed closely with the Remington.
The Buddha statue in the secret cave is not big, only about a foot high, and has a dazzling golden color.
However, it is not made of pure gold or pure copper.
Instead, it is made of five metals and is formed into one piece.
Only the Guge people can make this kind of craftsmanship, and the secret recipe has been lost.
Fewer Buddha statues with silver eyes and golden bodies have been handed down from generation to generation.
This Buddha statue is worth a lot of money.
Tiebang Lama worshiped the Buddha statue before continuing to look at the rest of the cave.
The silver-eyed Buddha statue was almost integrated with the base of the iron door behind it, and was artificially fixed.
On the black closed iron door, there were The six-character mantra of Tantric Buddhism is "Om Mani Pad Moo Hum".
Although this kind of six-character mantra is common, I don't know what it means.
I just think it may be similar to Amitabha.

There seems to be no need to post such a thing on ordinary doors.
I asked the lama what the six-character mantra represented and whether it was for suppressing evil and exorcising demons.
It seemed that the iron door could not be opened.
Lama Tiebang said to me: "The six-character mantra represents too many meanings.
Ordinary disciples recite this mantra to integrate their hearts with the Buddha.
However, the profoundness of tantric skills depends on the accumulation of daily cultivation of Dharma, just like The quality of milk tea cakes depends on constant stirring of ghee, and you cannot expect to achieve success by reciting the six-character mantra.
If these six words are translated into your Chinese, it probably means, the treasure in the Om lotus, hum."
There are many religious schools in Tibet, and even if they are both Buddhism, there are many branches, so Tiebang Lama’s knowledge of the Samsara Sect is limited.
According to his speculation, this secret cave hidden next to the Reincarnation Hall may represent the hell of the Reincarnation Sect.
The souls of those who have committed great crimes cannot be liberated after death, and have to be locked up in this black door and go through hell.
Torture, so this door cannot be opened.
There may be hungry ghosts from hell or demons from the underworld inside.
I was checking in the cave with the lama, when suddenly there was something on my feet, and it jumped over with a "whoosh".
I hurriedly raised my feet and kicked around.
People outside the cave also shined flashlights on the ground.
It turned out to be a small black muskrat. , shaped like a kitten, saw the light of the flashlight flickering and hurriedly got under the black door.
Only then did we discover that there was a big gap under the black iron door.
I looked inside with a flashlight.
It was too deep and I couldn’t see anything.
Lama Tiebang and I didn’t wait any longer and returned to the cave along the same route. outside.
This secret cave has nothing to do with the Silver Eye coordinates.
One more thing is worse than one less thing.
As for what is inside, it should be left to future archaeological teams or expedition teams to discover.
Both Fatty and Uncle Ming coveted the silver-eyed Buddha statue, but with Lama Tiebang present, they didn't dare to act recklessly and held back.
Uncle Ming seemed to be comforting himself.
He said to himself: "Anyone who can achieve great things does not stick to small details.
This time we are going to dig up glacier crystal corpses.
It is a huge deal.
Although this silver-eyed Buddha statue It’s worth a few bucks, but in comparison, it’s not worth selling at all.”
Lama Tiebang asked everyone to move some earth and rocks to cover the broken wall again, and then they all stood outside the temple.
Because there was a pillar missing in the Buddhist hall of the Samsara Temple, everyone did not dare to venture into the hall.
After testing the outside, they found that the remaining giant pillars in the temple were extremely strong.
The collapsed pillar was Because the lower part is part of the cave, a virtual pillar placed for neat layout is a cold dish on New Year's Eve.
It is not much without it, and it does not affect the safety of the entire building.
Uncle Ming took out the ancient Tibetan scripture scroll obtained from an overseas museum and compared it with the silver-eyed mural on the ceiling to learn the secrets.
With the help of Tiebang Lama and the Feng Shui principles I mastered, there was basically no obstacle and I could easily combine the map in the scroll with the Silver Eye coordinates.
The earliest source of the Samsara Sect's worship of eyeballs may be the Demon Kingdom.
After the demise of the Demon Kingdom, it still left a lot of disasters in the world.
The Samsara Sect also gradually disappeared in the later history.
Its unique silver-eyed ruins are only preserved in Guge King City.
If this place is also destroyed , then even if there is a map in the ancient scriptures, the Demon Kingdom Demon Tower cannot be found.
The author and source of this ancient scripture cannot be verified.
We only know that it was dug out of a scripture cave in Tibet by a foreign expedition team in the 1920s and 1930s.
At first, it didn't attract much attention, but it was just stored in the basement of the museum.
Later, an administrator who was very knowledgeable about religion accidentally discovered this scripture.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Because the content recorded in it was very bizarre, it was always difficult to understand.
It was only in recent years, with the accumulation of data, that it was analyzed that this scroll probably contained information about a nine-story demon tower.
This demon tower is a tomb, which contains the crystal corpse of the evil god worshiped and enshrined by the demonic kingdom.
If it is found, it will definitely be a major discovery in the archaeological world, and the mythical and incredible history of Tibet's ancient times will also be deciphered.
After repeated research, they found that this ancient scripture was most likely written by the survivors of the Demonic Kingdom, and its credibility should be very high.
However, the only regret at the time was that although there was a map of the Demonic Kingdom, these mountains and rivers Rivers are marked by beasts or gods, which is very different from the maps in people's common sense.
Moreover, it is so old that the names and symbolic meanings of many mountain ranges and water systems have changed today, making it even more difficult to confirm.
The large murals in the Samsara Temple are the key to interpreting ancient Tantric Feng Shui, because the directions in the paintings are extremely precise, and each different color, mythical beast, or god points to the corresponding geographical location.
With the coordinates in this direction, and comparing it with ancient and modern maps, even if it is not as accurate as dividing gold and determining acupoints, we can still get a rough area, which is better than finding a needle in a haystack.
Feng Shui handed down from the Central Plains believes that Kunlun is the ancestor of dragon veins in the world.
This is very different from Tibetan Tantric Feng Shui, but in the final analysis, the essence is still the same.
Tantric Feng Shui describes Kunlun Mountain as the land of the phoenix, and the other two mountain ranges as the land of the peacock and the land of the roc.
The most important nine-story demon tower in the Demon Kingdom is located in the Phoenix Palace.
It is described in the scripture that the Phoenix Palace is a mountain range, which is made up of four kinds of gems: gold, silver, crystal, and glass from the heaven.
There are four snow-capped mountains on the mountainside, which represent the four patron saints of the Demon Kingdom.
Tiebang Lama said that if Kunlun Mountain is described as a phoenix, it must be in line with the martial arts poem of the World's Enemy-Conquering Orb King.
Then the location of the Phoenix Shrine, according to the description in the poem, is at the Karamir Pass, between Qinghai and Tibet. , the new intersection area, that direction corresponds to the two row mothers of white and silver.
The white represents the snow-capped mountains and the silver represents the glaciers.
I told Uncle Ming and Tiebang Lama my assessment results.
The place surrounded by four peaks is called "Shu Miao" in Qingwu Feng Shui and "Dragon Top" in the Dragon Searching Art.
It can be regarded as the backbone of heaven and earth.
The situation where Zulong originated is very rare.
As long as you can confirm that the approximate area is at the Karamir Pass, and with the help of a local guide, it will not be difficult to find it.
Seeing that Uncle Ming finally confirmed the location, he hurriedly pulled me aside and took out a paper and pen.
Before he could speak, I already knew what he wanted to say.
I said to Uncle Ming: "Don't worry, we will never abandon your group of people and go it alone.
Although we have not signed a peace treaty, I have accepted two pieces of Runhai Stone as a guarantee.
A gentleman's promise is made with his mouth, and a villain's."
Paper is used for making promises.
A gentleman will not break a promise if he does not make one.
A villain will break a promise even if he makes one.
Whether one can keep the promise depends on the person, not the paper."
Uncle Ming felt relieved and beamed with joy.
His altitude sickness seemed to have eased, and he seemed to have held the glacier crystal corpse in his arms.
I advised him not to be too busy to be happy.
This is the first step in the long march.
It will not be too late to rejoice when he reaches Karamir, Kunlun Mountain, and digs out the nine-story demon tower.
Who can guarantee that the scriptures will be revealed before seeing it with his own eyes?
The content in the volume is all true and believable.
Maybe it was someone in ancient times who saved up for fun after eating.
Shiry Yang took some more photos for future reference.
This trip to find the feng shui coordinates of Tantric Buddhism went much smoother than we expected.
Except for the collapse of pillars and walls, which gave everyone a false alarm, there were almost no twists and turns.
We hope that future journeys will be so smooth.
When we went down the mountain, the sun was setting in the west, and the night on the plateau was very cold.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
There was no need to rush back at night, so everyone rested in an outpost defensive bunker a few miles away from the ruins of the Guge Royal City.
The guide who accompanied us arranged dinner and butter tea, and then asked a few people with poor health to drink a bowl of cold medicine.
In this natural environment, the most terrifying thing is to catch a cold.
Colds on the plateau can even be life-threatening. .
Everyone was exhausted that night.
There was no danger here.
The wolves had been killed long ago, so no one was left to watch.
Two or three people crowded into a watchtower to sleep.
Shiryyang, women like Han Shuna and Axiang slept in the innermost room, while Fatty and I slept in the outermost stone room.
After nightfall, we fell asleep one after another.
I have never slept well at night in these years.
I feel better during the day.
Even when I dream, I keep one eye open at night.
Shiry Yang said that I have "post-war stress syndrome" and that I need to take neurosedative drugs.
I was worried that I would become stupid if I drank that medicine, so I never took it.
While I was half asleep and half awake, I suddenly heard a series of very faint footsteps coming from outside.
I immediately opened my eyes and saw the cold light of the stars and the moon pouring down from the holes in the watchtower.
With these weak lights, I could see A black figure flashed past the door quickly
.
