"Your parents went to the Danba Temple on the Danba Mountain the day before yesterday!"
The Khampa woman named Dolma answered loudly.
He has red lips, white teeth, a fit figure, and his whole body is full of healthy and sunny atmosphere.
"What? They both... went to the Danba Temple?" Yajma asked doubtfully.
"Yes, Elder Dorje in the Danba Temple received the order from the ancestor god, saying that there will be a disaster in your family, and you must go to the Danba Temple to avoid the disaster, so your parents went into the mountain together."
"this..."
Yajma was stunned.
"Yajima, what is happening in the outside world? Why did you bring so many strangers to Tsoge Village?"
Zhuoma frowned and asked.
She looked to be in her early twenties, but she was calm and cautious, full of wariness and resistance towards Jiang Zhonglou and the others.
"They are all my best friends and will not tell anything about Tsoge Village..."
Yajma answered casually, worried.
"What happened? Why did Elder Dorje receive the order from the ancestral god and say that your family is in trouble?"
"Yeah, what exactly happened in the outside world?"
"Has another demon arrived?"
At this time, other Khampa people also came around on horseback and asked.
"You don't understand the things in the outside world..." Yajma sighed, "However, there is indeed a demon coming to turn the whole world into hell!"
"Then what should we do?"
"How about we go to the Danba Temple together to prevent the devil from harming Elder Duoji!"
"Yes! Let's all protect Elder Duoji!"
Several Khampa people said one after another.
"Everyone, please be patient. I will go to the Danba Temple to see Elder Dorje tomorrow to find out the situation!" Yajma said to everyone.
"All right."
Only then did all the Kham people disperse.
"Have the folks in your village... always lived in this closed world?"
Jiang Chonglou sighed.
This Tsoge village is located in the deepest part of the Kham grassland. The people here seem to be still in a state of ignorance, using religious myths to understand unknown things and knowing nothing about the outside world.
"Yes, they have lived on the grassland under the Danba Mountain for generations, supporting the elders and wise men in the temple." Yajima sighed.
"What deity is enshrined in your Danba temple? Is it the Buddha and Bodhisattva of Tibetan Buddhism?"
"No, it is the ancestral god worshiped by the Tsoge people, but it looks similar to the Buddha of Tibetan Buddhism... You will know when you go there tomorrow."
Yajma was still worried and looked anxious.
"If you're in a hurry, why don't we go into the mountain overnight?" Jiang Zhonglou suggested.
"No, Danba Mountain is covered with snow all year round. It's very difficult to walk during the day. If you go in at night, you can't even tell the direction..."
Yajma sighed: "We can only stay in Tsoge Village for one night and then go into the mountains tomorrow!"
"All right."
Everyone drove into the yard of Yajima's house and climbed up the single-plank staircase to the second floor.
Yajima lit the butter lamp, made a fire, made butter tea for everyone, and brought out the highland barley fried noodles...
Everyone was getting ready to eat when they saw Dolma coming again. She was holding a large piece of yak meat in her hand and said with a smile: "Yajima, you can cook this piece of meat and eat it!"
"Thank you, please sit down and let's eat together!"
Yajima cooked the beef whole in a copper pot.
"OK!"
Dolma helped Yajma cook the meat and asked with a smile: "Yajima, what are the names of these friends of yours?"
"This is Jiang Zhonglou, my elder brother, her name is Sanya, this child's name is Aojia...the other two are called Baiding and Qingding."
Yajima introduced it to everyone.
"oh..."
Zhuoma looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the fair-skinned handsome boy Qing Ding.
Qingding, however, sat in a daze, saying nothing.
He is a robot. He will only act according to the instructions of his master. At best, he will follow his master and has no ability to move independently.
"Brother Qingding, you are so strong and your skin is so fair. Do you never bask in the sun?"
Zhuoma looked at Qing Ding enthusiastically and smiled, revealing her white teeth.
"I have been buried underground for more than two thousand years and have just been restored. It is true that I have not been exposed to the sun for a long time, Miss Dolma."
Qing Ding replied expressionlessly.
"What? You've been buried underground for thousands of years?"
Zhuoma was stunned, her black grape-like eyes full of doubts: "Are you... talking about profound philosophy?"
"Dolma, don't fall in love with him, he can't be your elder brother." Yajma said with a smile.
"Why?"
"He is not a normal person, he is a robot and has no emotions."
"What? Robot?" Zhuoma was surprised, "What is a robot?"
"Robots are people made of steel. They have no souls and can only do things according to the orders of their masters." Yajima said with a smile, "Bai Ding and Qing Ding are both robots."
"Yeah?"
Zhuoma walked over dubiously, observed Qingding carefully, tried to squeeze Qingding's strong arm, and asked: "Brother Qingding, do you really have no soul and feelings?"
"Yes, I still have no soul and feelings..."
Qing Ding paused and then said: "However, I should have a soul and feelings in the future."
"Oh? Then when will you have a soul and feelings?" Zhuoma asked curiously.
"As long as we enter the core repair base, we should awaken our souls and emotions." Qing Ding replied expressionlessly.
"Core repair base? Where is it?" Zhuoma asked again.
"I can't tell you this. You are just a friend of Miss Yajima and have no authority to know the location of the core repair base."
"This..." Zhuoma turned to look at Yajima in astonishment, "What is Brother Qingding talking about? I can't understand it at all?"
"Don't tell me it's you, I don't even understand..."
Yajima asked Qing Ding doubtfully: "Can you really awaken your soul and emotions when you enter the core repair base?"
"Yes, when Mo Sheng dug out the five of us from the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom, our storage system was completely destroyed and we lost our previous memories..."
When Qingding saw his master Yajima asking, he replied seriously: "Mo Sheng built a repair base and spent all his life's learning, but he can only repair us to our current state...
We can only follow the instructions of our master. We have no soul, no emotions, and no independent thinking...
However, Mo Sheng said that the Cubans designed a set of programs to awaken our souls and minds in our core chips. It was only because the basic technology in ancient times was underdeveloped that they could not activate our souls and minds...
Therefore, Mo Sheng built a core repair base based on the design principles of our core chips...
He said that when humankind's basic technology develops to a certain level in the future, the equipment in the core repair base will be able to activate our souls and minds...
Now more than two thousand years later, the basic technology should be developed enough. As long as the core repair base is opened, the five of us should be able to have our own souls and thoughts, and also our own feelings!"
"Oh...then from now on you five will be just like normal people?" Yajma asked again.
"Yes, as long as our soul thoughts are awakened, we will be no different from normal people in the future!" Qing Ding said.
"Brother Qingding, then you will be like a normal person in the future, can you be my elder brother?"
