Chapter 588 Fotou Temple deep in the Kunlun Mountains
Because of the long journey in the snow-capped mountains of the plateau,
Dorje Tso, whose cheeks were red from the cold,
Seeing that Jin An’s eyes had been fixed on that dilapidated temple,
Said: "This temple has never had a name... No one knew there was such a temple deep in the Kunlun Mountains before... It was only discovered this time after the Kunlun avalanche... Everyone calls it the Buddha Head Temple... just because it is in the temple
The statue of the Dharma Protector Buddha was crushed by the heavy snow and the roof, leaving only one Buddha head intact and fell to the ground..."
The three people in Jin'an were surprised. They didn't expect this temple to have such a strange name.
Dorjetso continued: "Next to the Buddha's Head Temple... there should be a pile of sutra stones... I have only heard others mention this... I have never seen that pile of sutra stones... It was gone when I came here...
They should have all been evacuated..."
Jin An walked into Fotou Temple out of curiosity.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a Buddha's head falling on the ground. The Buddha's head was full of pits and pits, as if it had been damaged by tools such as iron picks and awls, and the marks were still very new. Jin'an's eyes flashed and he thought, this Buddha's head should have been attached.
The gold foil is a Buddha with a golden body and yellow clothes.
This Kunlun avalanche attracted many jackals, and the geese plucking the hair removed all the gold foil on the surface of the Buddha's head.
However, even the gold foil paper is not spared. The education level and vision of these people are not high at all. The gold foil paper that can cover half of the door can actually extract only one-tenth of the gold.
Even if the Buddha's body was covered with gold foil, he wouldn't be able to use up a single penny of gold.
It's simply a thankless task.
That's why he said that these people who even care about the gold foil of Buddha statues do not have high culture and vision.
The space inside Fotou Temple is very small. It didn't take long to take in the overall view, and then everyone retreated. At this time, Jin'an and the others also began to say goodbye to Dorje Tso.
Jin'an: "Uncle Dorjetso, take all these cows and horses back. We have this silly sheep to act as a coolie. It will be enough to carry heavy supplies. We will go over to find you after we leave the mountain."
Dorjetso did not leave immediately, and his eyes were a little hesitant. He felt that Jin'an and the others were seeing snow-capped mountains and glaciers for the first time. They might be unfamiliar with glaciers and did not know the dangers of glaciers.
Jin An smiled and said: "The closer you are to the avalanche, the more dangerous it is. I am very grateful to Uncle Dorje Tso for taking us here. Uncle Dorje Tso still has his wife and daughter waiting for you to go back and reunite, and his parents are sitting at the door of his house day and night."
I look forward to your safe return home. There is not much road ahead and we can finish it on our own. Uncle Dorje Tso will go back first."
"Uncle Dorje Cuo, when leaving the snow-capped mountains, beware of the river that has swollen with rainwater. Remember to wait until the rain has completely receded before passing through... So many days have passed so quickly, I guess the water level there has receded. If it has not receded yet, Dorje Cuo
Uncle can wait a few more days before crossing the river. There are still a lot of supplies on the cattle and horses, so he can stay a few more days and then cross the river when it is completely safe."
From the very beginning, Jin An had no intention of dragging Uncle Dorjetso into the muddy waters of the Kunlun Mountains. Naturally, he knew very well that this avalanche in the Kunlun Mountains was by no means a trivial matter. Experts from many countries gathered together, and these experts could just sneeze.
, can affect the fish in the pond.
After the joint persuasion of Jin'an, Master Yiyun, and Qi Bo, Dorje Cuo left in silence.
When Dorje Tso was sent away, the three men and one sheep did not delay any longer, and immediately entered the glacier forest, hoping to find the large army that had entered the depths of the Kunlun Mountains before dark.
…
…
Following a massive avalanche in the Kunlun Mountains, the sky and the earth changed color, and dark ice cracks, cracks, and holes were opened in the glacier forest.
Under every ice crevice, ice crack, and ice cave is a bottomless abyss. No one knows where these plateau ice crevices will eventually lead, but there has been a rumor since ancient times that there is a hell in the Kunlun Mountains that leads directly to hell.
door.
People are born from the gate of hell and will return to the gate of hell after death.
The truth of the world is hidden in the gates of hell.
These ice cracks may be large or small. Small ice cracks should have just cracked. As time goes by and geological activities on the plateau are frequent, these small ice cracks will eventually expand to large ice cracks, while large ice cracks will be like huge chasms in the sky.
Along the way, one glacier peak after another collapsed. If you lower your head and look carefully, you can vaguely see some animal and plant remains frozen in the ice wall.
Some animal and plant remains may have existed longer than our ancient ancestors.
This plateau snow mountain is a divine realm that can seal time. Time seems to be frozen here. Once it falls asleep here, it will be forever.
As we passed through the periphery of these glacial forests and gradually penetrated deeper into the interior, we found that time here no longer seemed to be permanently frozen in the plateau snow, and voices began to appear.
Continuing to walk forward along a large straight cracking iceberg, the number of people became more and more loud, and we came to an iceberg and snow peak that was as clear and as white as jade, emitting gleaming light, and creating a brilliant aurora above our heads.
In the heat of the day, there were a large number of Tibetan serfs, wearing thin clothes and whose whole bodies were red, swollen and purple from freezing in the ice and snow, digging the snow manually with picks and shovels.
Under the whips of the serf owners' followers, these serfs relied on the most primitive human methods to dig out the snow-covered icebergs.
This thick snow includes both ice and snow from snow avalanches, as well as ice and snow that fell from several heavy snowfalls in the past year. The area is very large, and the progress of digging it by manpower alone is very slow.
No wonder various forces have been entering the Kunlun Mountains for so long, but still haven't made much progress. Moreover, as the ice and snow settles and compacts, it becomes more difficult to dig. The only way to dig is when the weather gets warmer.
While the serfs were digging out the snow shovel by shovel at a slow pace relying on manpower, outside the ice crevices, many red-robed Tantric monks holding prayer wheels were sitting around, turning sutras, chanting Buddhist prayers, and praying.
There are also some tantric monks holding prayer wheels and turning around the mountain to pray.
The total number of these tantric monks alone exceeds a hundred, and there are no one knows how many temple monks came.
These tantric monks were chanting sutras and praying for the venerables from several major monasteries who had been missing since entering the snow-capped mountains. They prayed that the venerables were still alive and not dead, and that they would be able to reunite with them when they dug through the thick snow.
Around the rugged icebergs and snow peaks, there are tents and igloos made of ice bricks. There are people living in these tents and igloos, and people often come in and out to take a look.
The progress of the serfs digging snow.
The people living in those igloos are basically Tibetan people.
The people living in the tents are mainly outsiders from outside Tubo, such as Han people, people from the Western Regions, people from Tianzhu...the total number of these people is over a thousand.
But in some huge tents with wind and horse flags flying, the people who came in and out were all Tibetan people with fine skin and tender meat. These people were dressed in gold and silver, pampered, and came from the influence of several royal families and nobles in Tubo.
These royal nobles had the largest number of people, and those serfs were brought by serf owners who were attached to the royal nobles.
Deep in the snow-covered Kunlun Mountains, a large number of people gathered together. With so many people gathered in one place, just food and clothing would be a huge expense. No wonder a small earthen city was built outside to collect so many supplies.
people.
On one side are the large and powerful Tubo royal family and nobles, on the other side are the tantric monks who have gathered from various temples, and on the other side are the scattered forces of outsiders. At this time, the Tubo royal family and the tantric monks have the power to unite and secretly drive away the outsiders.
This trend has pushed outsiders to the margins.
The atmosphere in the glacier and snowy land is a bit subtle. Under the seemingly peaceful surface, there seems to be an undercurrent surging. Everyone is waiting for the moment when the glacier snow peak is dug out...
