Ye Shaoyang smiled, "It's good to listen to this kind of intimidation, if it's really so effective, do you still need them to protect it for generations?"
” Wu Jiadao echoed: "Well said, besides, since we have gone to the tomb, we have already been mentally prepared, I am afraid of choking, why don't we eat yet?"
” Tianbao Daoist smiled: "That's exactly the reason.
I don't know what you're going to do over there, and when are you going to go to the grave?
” Ye Shaoyang told him that although he was not afraid, he was still well prepared in terms of preparation, so he had to wait for the Four Treasures to be fixed before thinking about how to go to the tomb.
In terms of the identity of the four treasures, Ye Shaoyang boasted a little, saying that he was the heir of the captain of the touching gold.
The people of Tianbao Dao were even more excited, so the two sides agreed to act together when everything was ready.
"That's right, Senior Nephew Ye, I plan to send the eldest disciple Zi Kun to you, first, I can help a little, and second, if there is any situation, I can also send him to inform us in time, after all, we are underground, there is no transportation, and it is very inconvenient to get in touch.
Zi Kun has his means and is able to find us. ” Send someone to spy on yourself?
Ye Shaoyang's heart moved, and he immediately nodded: "That's the best." ” Tianbao Dao people were very happy, Ye Shaoyang saw that he had the intention of sending off guests, and hurriedly asked him back with questions, after all, it was not easy to come by himself, so he simply asked more.
"I have a question in my heart, since these believers are Tibetans, why don't they build their tombs in Tibetan areas, but have to travel thousands of miles to Lop Nur where no one is around?"
Tianbao Daodao: "I also asked their high priest this question, they are a very small religion in Tibet, and they have been excluded by Tibetan Buddhism and other religions, so they migrated here under the guidance of God, and then their god died, and naturally they were buried here." ” Ye Shaoyang was shocked when he heard this, "Are you saying that they migrated here first, and then built the Divine Tomb here, instead of having the Divine Tomb first, and then came over to guard it?"
” "Of course not.
The Tibetan area is not far from here, in fact, and at that time there was a lake in Lop Nur, and life could be guaranteed, and religions outside the ancient and modern times have always developed in this way, and when they were excluded, they began to wander and look for another suitable place to live. ” When Wu Jiadao heard this, he interjected: "In that case, their gods are not very powerful, otherwise why would they be bullied to run away." ” The Tianbao Daoist smiled: "The so-called gods, that is, their leaders, claim to be the incarnation of the gods......"
When several people heard this, they all smiled knowingly.
"But how did they get the tomb under the lake?"
Ye Shaoyang asked.
Tianbao Daoist said that he didn't know this, but the way was definitely yes, as for choosing the bottom of Lop Nur Lake, it may be because it is a treasure of feng shui.
"There's one more question, here......
Are there any women?
” As soon as these words came out, even the Tianbao Dao people were a little surprised, and laughed: "It turns out that Ye Zhang taught this well, but I'm really sorry, this is also our temporary residence, where will we bring women." ” One hand pressed Ye Shaoyang's shoulder, rubbed it gently, and said in an ambiguous tone: "If Ye Zhangjiao has an idea, after the matter is completed, I will take you to the provincial capital and find you a few exotic girls......"
Ye Shaoyang almost fainted, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm asking......
On the way into the cave, all the people we saw were men, but why didn't there be a single woman?
” "Oh, you're talking about this," Tianbao Daoist smiled, and then sighed again, "I said before, they used to make a living from Lop Nur Lake and have children with the local Uyghurs, but then Lop Nur Lake dried up, and most of the locals moved away, and they couldn't find a daughter-in-law at all......
It is said that he spent money to buy a few daughters-in-law back then, but it was not enough, and only the clergy had wives.
That's why I said that their numbers are getting smaller and smaller, except for some of the believers who live in the town and provide them with supplies, there are only fifty or sixty people who really live in the desert, and there are no more than six or seven female dependents.
They all live in some caves in the back, and you can't see them.
A woman who marries a member of the clergy stays if she gives birth to a son, and ...... if she has a daughter Dealt with. ” "Processing?
How to deal with it?
Ye Shaoyang and the three of them were shocked.
"Through their people in town, sell it."
"What!"
The three of them said in unison.
"This is very easy to explain," said Tianbao Daoren, "girls are of no use to them, first, their concept is completely the same as that of the ancients, thinking that women are not their own descendants, and there are few resources, how can there be extra to raise a girl?"
” Wu Jiawei said: "Why don't you marry the clansmen after you grow up, so that you can reproduce?"
” Tianbao Daoren smiled: "I also thought so at first, how good it is to marry a person of the same clan who is not related, originally they also lacked wives, but if you think about it carefully, the total number of these disciples is very small, if they marry each other, then within two or three generations, they are all close relatives before each other."
The consequences of marriage between close relatives are well known, and when the time comes, the children born from generation to generation are not as good as the next, and there is no need for other factors at all, and the group itself will be extinct. ” Tianbao Daoren's explanation also calmed the doubts in Ye Shaoyang's heart, thought about it carefully, and said: "Then their number is getting smaller and smaller now, have you thought of any way?"
” "There's no good way to do it, they intend to stick to it, because they have passed down a saying from their ancestors: as long as the tomb is not destroyed, one day in the future, their god of light will be resurrected and descend among them to lead them back to glory, so they decided to guard it until there is no one left."
When Ye Shaoyang heard this, he immediately felt that this was probably the so-called painting cake to satisfy hunger.
In this regard, with the exception of the religions of this life, such as Taoism, all other religions have said similar things, which can be regarded as a vision for their followers: Christianity, for example, has said that God will rise to judge the world.
Faith is the most powerful and blind force in the world, but for these disciples, Ye Shaoyang has some admiration in his heart, and at the same time feels a faint sadness.
Because of their isolation from the world, the thoughts and views of these believers have not evolved over the years, and they have kept their beliefs from generation to generation, and it is difficult to evaluate them from a modern point of view.
But there is one thing: Ye Shaoyang has no aversion to these disciples, let alone any hatred, what he hopes most is not to contact them, so as not to hurt each other, so no matter what, the Zhongge faction can deal with these disciples and let them go to the tomb without worries, which is indeed a big problem.
