When Li Yundong heard Liu Xia's words, his heart suddenly moved and he thought to himself: Bandaram? Isn't this person Mei Duo?
Thinking of this, Li Yundong looked at the visitor more seriously.
At this time, Barkhor Street, the most prosperous street in Lhasa, was crowded with people. Countless Tibetans were crawling down like waves, allowing people in the distance to see more clearly the believers who were dancing the Dharma Protector Dance.
I saw a group of people walking at the front wearing colorful Tibetan clothes. On their heads were huge masks made of clay and wood carvings and painted to look like ghosts and gods. On the top of the masks were tied a snow-white hada.
Li Yundong took a quick look and saw that these masks coated with pure gold powder were exquisitely made. They were either peaceful, mighty, or ugly and ferocious like green faces and fangs. They were decorated with skulls, which gave a strong and profound impression. The believers had large sleeves and wide sleeves.
The dance costume of the robe has gorgeous patterns, fluttering ribbons, and colorful patterns. The front and back are painted with human faces and skull lace.
On their left and right are lamas holding conchs. Some of these lamas are carrying conchs in front, while others are walking behind and blowing the conchs. The sound of the horns is very intimidating and awe-inspiring.
When the crowd came closer, Li Yundong saw that the woman who was carried at the highest point had a tall bun on her head, a bright flower crown on her bun, large rings on her ears, and a mask on her face.
The mask clearly depicts the appearance of a handsome woman, with three slender eyes, lifelike, and her eyes seem to reveal a kind look. The woman wears a white coat on the front, a red robe underneath, and red boots on her feet.
, sitting on the rosette on the high platform, holding a white-stemmed long-feathered arrow in his right hand, and a bowl full of jewels in his left hand. Amidst the whining of the dharma trumpets, there is really a majestic aura of the true god appearing.
Liu Xia on the side was fascinated. She couldn't help but sighed: "What a rare thing. Isn't the Tibetan Auspicious Heavenly Mother's Phantom Journey Festival on the tenth day of the tenth month in the Tibetan calendar? Why did it come out today?"
Out of curiosity, she took the initiative to grab a Tibetan next to her and asked quickly in Tibetan. After the Tibetan answered a few friendly words, Liu Xia suddenly understood. She excitedly grabbed Li Yundong and said
: "Hey, you are so lucky! When you come here, you see this kind of grand celebration that is rare in a century. I heard that the Living Buddha has found the reincarnation of Bandaram, so the Dharma Protector Divine Dance and the Lucky Heavenly Mother are traveling! Come on, follow me
Kneel down together!”
Barkhor Street is the most prosperous commercial pedestrian street in Tibet and the most famous holy street. Because it is built around the Jokhang Temple in Tibet and passes through the Potala Palace, Yaowang Mountain and Ramoche Temple, it is named Barkhor Street.
, and Barkhor means the prayer path in Tibetan, and it means the middle circle. Countless believers come here every day and perform pilgrimage around Barkhor Street along the way.
It seemed that they had heard the news about Bandaram’s trip, so there were particularly many Tibetan believers who came on this day. There were Tibetans wearing white robes who came from the northern pastoral area, and Tibetans from the Heroes’ Gathering in the Kham Mountains.
There are also Tibetans who live in Barkhor Street and are dressed in bright and luxurious clothes. When they gather together, it seems to be a bustling crowd. However, wherever Bandaram travels, the crowds subside like a tide.
The sound immediately disappeared, and the originally bustling Barkhor Street suddenly became quieter and quieter, with only the majestic sound of the dharma trumpets lingering in the sky.
Since most Tibetans prostrate themselves on the ground, many tourists visiting Barkhor Street also do as the local customs do and kneel down on the ground. This is especially true for Liu Xia. After she knelt down, she was just about to prostrate herself on the ground properly.
But when she turned around, she saw that Li Yundong behind her was still standing there stupidly, looking at Bandaram, as if he was in a trance.
Liu Xia was so anxious that he quickly grabbed Li Yundong's hand and said, "Hey, where are you staying? Bandaram cannot be looked at directly, otherwise it will be considered offensive."
But Li Yundong seemed not to hear what she said. He still looked straight at Bandaram sitting on the lotus platform.
At this time, Li Yundong had confirmed that the person sitting on the lotus platform was the innocent Tibetan girl Mei Duo he knew. At this moment, Li Yundong seemed to have a feeling of being separated from another world.
Has Mei Duo, who once surrounded him with a sweet smile and called her "Brother Han", now a high-ranking and auspicious goddess?
That Mei Duo who once boldly expressed her love to her in the moonlight but was rejected by herself and cried until she was in tears, is she now wearing a divine robe and sitting on a lotus platform?
Li Yundong suddenly sighed in his heart and thought to himself: People have been searching for him for thousands of times, but when he suddenly came back, he was up high and in the cold!
That innocent, lovely, simple and kind-hearted Mei Duo, what kind of expression should she have now hidden under the Bandaram mask?
Is it sadness? Is it joy? Is it happiness? Is it sadness?
Li Yundong couldn't help but feel worried. He thought to himself: The person sitting here should be Zhou Qin! But if it is really Zhou Qin, then let alone her not agreeing, I will not agree either. But, but...
Zhou Qin can't be this Bandaram, so why must Mei Duo be the one?
Thinking of this, Li Yundong couldn't help shouting loudly: "Mei Duo!"
At this time, the entire Barkhor Street was extremely quiet. Li Yundong's shout immediately caused everyone to raise their heads and look at him. Next to the worshiper lama who was protecting the Dharma Dance, all living beings were prostrate on both sides of the street. Only Li Yundong stood up.
He stood up and shouted loudly towards Bandaram who was sitting on the lotus platform.
The scene in front of them suddenly shocked everyone. Even Liu Xia next to her was stunned. She was afraid that in the next scene, the angry Tibetans would rush up and tear them into pieces.
Bandaram, who was sitting high on the lotus pedestal, trembled all over. She slowly turned her head and looked at the voice in disbelief.
Through Bandaram's mask, Mei Duo saw Li Yundong standing proudly in the crowd at a glance, as if he stood out from the crowd and towered over all living beings. Suddenly there was a roar in her mind, and an excited and crazy voice shouted loudly in her mind.
Said: "He's coming, he's coming!
At this moment, Mei Duo subconsciously reached out to her face, trying to lift the mask, and shouted to Li Yundong with a look of surprise: "Brother Han!"
But as soon as Mei Duo put her hand on her mask and lifted it halfway, the prayer wheel hidden in her arms suddenly buzzed.
Mei Duo's body trembled violently, and her originally excited mood suddenly cooled down. A plaintive voice kept shouting in her mind: So what if he comes? So what!
Mei Duo's body stiffened little by little, and her hand on the mask froze in mid-air, revealing only half of her face as jade as snow, and her cherry mouth as red as dots of vermilion.
Li Yundong saw Mei Duo looking at him blankly through Bandaram's mask. Her eyes gradually changed from surprise and excitement to sadness and sadness, and finally became cold as gray. Her red lips were under the mask.
She softly made a mouth shape to herself. Although Li Yundong didn't hear what she was saying, he could clearly tell from Mei Duo's mouth shape that she silently said four words: Brother Han...
At this moment, Li Yundong and Mei Duo looked at each other silently. The distance between the two people was less than five meters, but they seemed as far apart as the world. Time stopped and the space froze. The originally flowing Barkhor
The street instantly turned into a thangka portrait.
Li Yundong stared at Mei Duo blankly. He wanted to shout Mei Duo's name loudly, wanted to pull Mei Duo off the lotus platform, and let her become the carefree, singing and laughing Mei Duo again, but he wanted to
He stretched out his hand, but didn't know where to start. More importantly, if Mei Duo was pulled down by him, what about Zhou Qin's true form? What would she do?
But, should Mei Duo be sacrificed because of Zhou Qin?
In Li Yundong's heart, heaven and man were at war. When he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a crystal teardrop rolling down Mei Duo's snow-white cheeks to the corner of her mouth. At this time, Mei Duo no longer hesitated.
He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and put down his mask again, hiding his fair and pretty face under Bandaram's mask.
Mei Duo said a few words in Tibetan to the lamas who were protecting the dance, and then these people began to move forward slowly again.
Li Yundong watched Mei Duo pass in front of him, and behind Mei Duo was another image of Bandaram, the image of Qinglam.
I saw the red hair on Qing Lamu's head standing upright, decorated with five skulls, a half moon and peacock feathers on the top of her head. There was a small lion on her right ear, a small snake hanging on her left ear, and a special hanging on her waist.
An account book that records the evil deeds of evil people. She holds a skull club in her left hand and a skull bowl filled with blood in her right hand. She looks ferocious, cold and ruthless.
Li Yundong was suddenly shocked. He couldn't help but said loudly: "Mei Duo, do you really want to do this Bandaram? Answer me, if you don't want to, I will take you away!"
Li Yundong shouted, and the Tibetans who could understand Chinese immediately went into an uproar. Liu Xia was almost paralyzed to the ground by Li Yundong, and she whispered in a trembling voice: "Oh my god, how crazy is this guy!"
"
Mei Duo, who was sitting high on the lotus platform, trembled all over again. She slowly turned around and looked at Li Yundong with extremely complex eyes.
Li Yundong saw that when Mei Duo turned sideways, half was a white mask, and half was a cyan mask, half symbolizing the terrifying and ferocious Qing Ram, and the other half symbolizing the kind and beautiful Bai Ram, as if she were a living person.
It was split in half forcefully.
After Mei Duo looked at Li Yundong blankly for a while, she gently said a few words in Tibetan to a believer next to her. The believer glanced at Li Yundong strangely and said to him in blunt Chinese: "Banda
Ram said she is fine and you don’t need to worry, her compatriots need her. In addition, she said she doesn’t know you and asks you to go back.”
Li Yundong was stunned and thought to himself: Mei Duo's words are inconsistent! Does she, does she really not want to leave?
After Mei Duo said this, she said a few words to the believers indifferently, and the lamas who protected the Dharma Dance continued to walk forward.
This time, Li Yundong did not say anything to stop them. He just watched Mei Duo's figure go away little by little, and Qing Lamu's image slowly disappeared into Barkhor Street...
