It turned out that more than two hundred years ago, after an earthquake, the Night Emperor appeared in the Daga Doma Mountain area and attacked the chieftain prince who was riding alone by the Chishui Lake, causing a series of disasters that followed.
Later, the powerful Bon elder discovered an unfathomable underground cave on Mount Daga Doma. The entrance to this underground cave was originally hidden in the mountain, but it was revealed due to a landslide caused by an earthquake. The religious elder believed that this was a cave leading to hell, and it was through this cave that Night Emperor came here, so he proposed to build a Bon temple on Daga Doma Mountain, nominally to draw on the power of gods. Shocking the evil spirits is actually to re-seal the entrance to the cave.
Ever since the Doma Temple was built and the entrance to the cave was re-sealed, Night Emperor has never appeared again. It was not until half a month ago that there was another earthquake of considerable magnitude in this area, and no trace of Night Emperor appeared again. .
The earthquake caused a landslide on Daga Doma Mountain and the collapse of part of the Doma Temple. Master Dolma initially thought that the entrance to the cave connected to hell must have been exposed again, so he hurried to check, but he It was found that the entrance to the cave had not been damaged, so Master Dolma still has no idea where Ye Di came out from, but one thing that is certain is that Ye Di must have come from hell.
After listening to Basang's story, Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "In other words, because of the earthquake, another entrance to the underground cave was formed in this area, and we still don't know where this entrance is."
Professor Dong said: "Then we must find this entrance as soon as possible and seal it, otherwise if more snow monsters emerge from the ground, the consequences will be disastrous."
Wen Qingshan nodded: "Uncle Qianba is familiar with the terrain in this area. If we want to find this entrance, I'm afraid we have to ask him for help."
Things seemed to have some clues, so we got up and said goodbye to Master Dolma. However, what I didn't expect was that just when we were about to leave, Master Dolma suddenly signaled me to wait for a moment. He got up and walked to the desk. In front of the desk, I picked up a piece of something that seemed to be an animal bone from the desk and handed it to me.
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on, because among the few of us, I was the least talkative, so why did Master Dolma just give me something?
Others were also surprised. Master Dolma seemed to see our doubts and spoke a few words in Tibetan calmly. I quickly asked Basang: "Brother Basang, what did Master Dolma say? Why would he give this to me?"
Basang looked at me with shocked eyes and said slowly: "Master Dolma said that you are the successor chosen by God, so what God left in the world should belong to you."
After hearing what he said, I lowered my head and carefully examined the thing that Master Dolma gave me. It was a square bone plate about two inches long and one inch wide. I don't know what kind of animal it was made of. Made of bones, the texture is very hard and has some weight.
Presumably due to the age, the bone plate has become a little black, but it still maintains a certain gloss. On the bone plate, there is a square pattern engraved on it. At first glance, it looks like a symbol. I took a closer look. , I found that the patterns are actually composed of dense pictographic ancient texts. However, these ancient texts are messy and disorderly. Not to mention that I don’t recognize most of them. Even if they are just ordinary Chinese characters, if they are combined in this way, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to understand them. What does it mean.
I stared at the bone plate for a while, and suddenly something flashed through my mind, and I thought of the dark wooden coffin in that evil stone tomb. The lid of the coffin was also engraved with a pattern composed of chaotic hieroglyphics and ancient Chinese characters. The patterns on this bone plate are somewhat similar, and more importantly, the ancient pictographic characters that make up the two patterns seem to be the same type of characters.
Speaking of that pattern, I was deeply impressed. I clearly remember that when I stared at that pattern, I didn’t know if I was hallucinating or if some supernatural phenomenon had occurred. The chaotic words actually arranged themselves. It formed two lines of text. Later, after I came out of the evil stone tomb, I wrote down the two lines of text in a notebook based on my memory. I also studied them for a period of time, but I still could not figure out what they were. What kind of words are there? Naturally, I couldn’t understand the meaning of those two lines.
I didn't expect that Master Dolma would give me such a domino now, and there was a similar pattern on the domino.
I couldn't hold back my curiosity and hurriedly said to Basang: "Brother Basang, help me ask Master Dolma what the pattern on this domino means."
Basang chatted a few words with Master Dolma in Tibetan, then turned to me and said: "Master Dolma doesn't know either. He said that only those chosen by God, that is, brothers, can understand this pattern. ,"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: I don't even know what these words are, so how can I possibly understand them.
Wen Qingshan was very curious about the animal bone plate in my hand. He said, "Shi Yu, can you show me that thing?"
I handed the animal bone plate to Wen Qingshan. Wen Qingshan took the animal bone plate and looked at it for a moment, and soon discovered the problem. He said in surprise: "Isn't this the same thing carved on the inside of the lid of the gloomy wooden coffin?" That rune pattern?"
In fact, the two patterns are very similar, but they are composed of different text content. However, if you don't study it carefully, it is difficult to see that Wen Qingshan is not an onmyoji after all, and he has little interest in runes and diagrams, so in In his eyes, it was the same picture.
Although he couldn't see the difference between the two patterns, I didn't say anything. I just said: "This pattern seems to be composed of an ancient hieroglyphic script, but I don't know what kind of script it is."
Professor Dong, who has always studied ancient characters, immediately became interested when he heard about ancient hieroglyphs. He took the animal bone plate from Wen Qingshan's hand, took out a magnifying glass and looked at it for a long time, but he could not see this weirdness. As for the origin of the text, I finally had to take two photos of the animal bone plates with my camera. I said I would study them carefully when I got back, and then returned the animal bone plates to me.
I held the animal bone plate and was filled with doubts. I originally wanted to ask Master Dolma a few more questions, but he turned around again, closed his eyes and meditated. Professor Dong said that Master Dolma We were meditating and didn't want to disturb him anymore, so we left the stone house quietly and followed the steep ladder back to the ground from the top of the cliff.
As soon as my feet landed on the ground and before I could catch my breath, Jianjian came over and asked impatiently: "Brother, what were you talking about with that blah blah blah guru? You actually talked for so long."
I gasped and replied: "We've talked too much and it's too much to say. I'll talk to you slowly later on the way back."
Jianjian was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing, and she was a little surprised: "Wait a minute, we're going back now, haven't we even eaten yet?"
"What to eat, besides butter tea and tsampa, why not eat bread and beef jerky on the road?" Although it was already time to eat, when I thought of butter tea and tsampa, I immediately lost my appetite.
Wen Qingshan waved his hand: "Let's go, we have to rush back early,"
"You're serious about leaving. Did something happen?" Haibeard also showed a surprised look on his face.
Professor Dong frowned and replied: "The matter may be more serious than we expected. We have to rush back to Daga Doma Village as soon as possible."
Seeing the solemn expressions on our faces, Jianjian and Seabeard didn't ask any more questions, so they followed us out of the temple along the same path.
Before the group of people walked out of the monastery, a man walked towards them. This man was not a lama from the monastery. He was wearing ordinary Tibetan clothes. Moreover, he was lame and walked with a limp.
When Basang saw the man, he immediately went up to him with a smile on his face and greeted him. It turned out that this man was the old man from Daga Doma Village whom he mentioned, Tashi Duoji.
Basang told us that three years ago, Tashi Duoji braved a snowstorm to search for a lost yak. His left leg was frozen. In the end, he had to have it amputated below the knee. Now his left leg is equipped with a prosthetic leg. Although it can Walking, but inevitably limping when walking.
Tashi Duoji was a little surprised by our appearance. Basang explained to him the purpose of our trip and told him that we stayed at his home in Daga Doma Village last night, and that there were people in the village in the middle of the night yesterday. The herdsmen's yaks were attacked, and we were now planning to find the monster that attacked the yaks. Upon hearing this, Tashi Duoji immediately expressed that he wanted to go with us.
Because Tashi Dorje is disabled after all, we were a little hesitant at first. On the one hand, we were worried that he would drag us down if he went with us. On the other hand, we were also worried that he had some shortcomings. But Basang said: "Don't underestimate him." Even though he lost one of his legs, he has a strong psychological quality, and his shooting skills are very accurate. He used to be a famous hunter in this area."
Tashi Dorje seemed to know what we were worried about. He patted his chest and told us that he would never hinder us. Moreover, in terms of his familiarity with the terrain in this area, in Daga Doma Village, except for Uncle Qianba, only He is the most familiar, and if we want to find the monster that attacks the yak, he is definitely the most suitable candidate.
In order to prove that he was okay, Tashi Duoji even limped a few steps on the stone road.
Wen Qingshan and Professor Dong discussed it and decided to let Tashi Duoji accompany us.
Tashi Dorje immediately went to pack his things, spoke to the lama in the temple, and followed us out of Doma Temple.
