Zi Hao suddenly whispered: "Senior brother, aren't we going in?" It was a spirit body with very clear and keen senses, and the invisible pressure made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Sheng Long also said: "Mr. Cheng, why don't we go in?" For some reason, he also felt uncomfortable.
Cheng Tianle nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, let's go somewhere else." He stopped in front of the Potala Palace and turned around to go to another place.
We visited Jokhang Temple at noon and Norbulingka in the afternoon, which is a man-made garden. Cheng Tianle came from Suzhou and of course he has seen various gardens, but it is hard to imagine that there is such a large man-made garden on such a plateau.
Landscape garden. This used to be the palace where the big leaders of the Yellow Sect spent their summers. The scenery is very good and very unique.
Cheng Tianle did not enjoy the garden much. What he focused on was the place that interested him the most. There is the only zoo in Lhasa, which contains various animals that live in the alpine and cold areas of the plateau. Many of them are things that Cheng Tianle has not seen elsewhere or
It is rarely seen, and its vitality and rhythmic characteristics can be carefully sensed.
In the evening, Cheng Tianle stayed in a youth hotel, released Zi Hao and Sheng Long to protect the Dharma outside, closed the door and entered the world of picture scrolls. There were many things that were not accessible to outsiders, and he could only communicate with Xiao Shao.
He said to Xiao Shao: "Today I went to the Jokhang Temple, knelt down and worshiped in the Tara Hall, and saw the various incarnations of Tara. I gained a little more understanding of the wonderful way of pleasure and pleasure." When he said this, he was sitting down.
, Xiao Shao sat face to face in his arms and was held in his lap.
Xiao Shao blushed. He lowered his head and said, "It was very interesting to hear you talk about all the things you saw during your thousands of miles of travel two days ago. What did you realize when you went to the Jokhang Temple today?"
Cheng Tianle: "There was a time when you disappeared, but when I saw all the things in the picture scroll world, it was as if I saw you. Cultivating the path of dual destiny of desire and joy, all kinds of endless joys came from you. I heard the legend here that every snow mountain
They are all the same goddess. If I come to a certain snow mountain, the snow mountain goddess will be you; if I go to the grassland, the moonlight on the grassland will also be you..."
Xiao Shao looked a little intoxicated. He buried his head on his shoulder and said, "Silly, have you also learned to write love poems?"
Cheng Tianle hugged her and seemed to have formed some kind of handprint: "Is this a love poem? Well, it is also my enlightenment today. Seeing the incarnation of the Twenty-One Mother, I suddenly thought of the wonderful meaning of the dual destiny of desire and pleasure, and what is pleasure and pleasure?
The realm of Wuji? I am very lucky. I have this world of scrolls, and I have you who are transformed into the charm of the mountains and rivers of the scroll world. Only in this way can I achieve the wonderful realm of vacuum in the dual destiny of desire and pleasure."
As he spoke, he imprinted what he saw and understood in the Tara Hall today into Xiao Shao's soul. Xiao Shao also closed his eyes and whispered with his lips against his earlobe: "Would you like to try it now?"
Cheng Tianle: “Aren’t we always practicing?”
Xiao Shao: "Have you sought proof of the vacuum and light realm of desire pleasure?"
Cheng Tianle: "You and I are practicing dual cultivation. If I seek the truth, you will also seek the truth. Today's enlightenment has given me a glimpse of the path."

In youth hostels, tour buses are often outsourced. When there are not enough people, a note is posted on the blackboard of the hostel to recruit teammates. A group of strangers may rent a few off-road vehicles here to form a temporary self-service team.
The tour group went to visit nearby scenic spots. Cheng Tianle went to Mount Everest this time. There were many tourists taking this route. After returning from Norbulingka, he first applied for a border defense permit from the police and joined the group early the next morning.
We set off together.
There are three off-road vehicles in this group. There are five people in each vehicle including the driver. The agreed route is to go through Shigatse to the Everest base camp, then depart from Mount Everest via Yangpajing, Namtso and return to Lhasa, which is equivalent to going around the plateau.
The journey took three days and four nights. Out of an instinctive habit, Cheng Tianle carefully checked the vitality rhythm characteristics of these people to see if there were any demon cultivators lurking, but found nothing.
Most of the people in this world are normal people. It would be too scary if fifteen people could find demon cultivators when they go out in a group.
Lhasa is not far from Mount Everest. The road mileage is only 600 kilometers. However, driving on the plateau is not fast, and they are not in a hurry. They also have to visit scenic spots along the way, so it takes two days to arrive. We arrived in the afternoon
In Shigatse, we visited the famous Tashilhunpo Temple, which is also the residence and spiritual pagoda of the Panchen Lama for generations. The magnificent temple houses various artifacts.
Cheng Tianle entered the temple gate and walked through the square. He did not follow the tourists to visit from the right. Instead, he followed the Tibetan believers who came to worship and climbed up the steps from the left. He was greeted by ancient knotted trees full of white flowers and arrived at the temple.
Tashilhunpo Temple
The famous Tara Hall. The steps in front of the hall are made of tamped clay, but the light wiped by believers and monks is discernible. Cheng Tianle reached out to touch the copper bell hanging in the porch, and walked through the patio to climb up the hall amid the clear ringing of the bell.
Go up the wooden stairs of Tara Hall.
There is a two-meter-high bronze statue of White Tara in the center, with clay sculptures of Green Tara on both sides. Cheng Tianle once again bowed in the Tara Temple, still closing his eyes for a long time. This time he was mainly sensing hundreds of years.
The breath left by the visitors seems to vaguely understand the thoughts of those people when they bowed before this Buddha statue. There are also monks who practice the same or similar methods as Lingre and achieved enlightenment here.
After walking around Tashilhunpo Monastery and staying in Shigatse that night, Cheng Tianle still entered the world of picture scrolls and met Xiao Shao for dual cultivation. Although it was a dangerous place on the plateau, the scenery along the way was infinitely beautiful, and Cheng Tianle lived a happy life.
It was also a wonderful time.
The next day we set off from Shigatse to Mount Everest. On both sides of the road are endless undulating wastelands, with wild grass growing close to the ground. In the dark brown, you can see a little green in the near distance, and in the distance is the blue sky. We drove until noon
, I saw a patch of snow-capped mountains, but the car went very far towards the snow-capped mountains, and the snow-capped mountains were still there, as if they could never be reached.
Cheng Tianle didn't show anything unusual along the way. Sitting in the passenger seat, he looked through the car window and saw an eagle flying over the plateau more than once, but he couldn't tell what kind of eagle it was. Zi Hao hid in his Quchi
No one was seen in the cave, but Shenglong occasionally came out of his sleeve. This cute "little squirrel" made his companions very curious and surprised, adding a lot of fun to the boring journey.
The girl sitting in the back row reached out and touched its plush back and tail and said, "What a cute little thing. How come it doesn't have any altitude sickness?"
Sheng Long raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Tianle, with a very aggrieved look on his face. Cheng Tianle said in Yuanshen: "What's wrong if you touch it twice? Be careful, don't fart in the car."
The terrain is getting higher and higher, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the air is getting thinner. They have passed the snow line of 5,000 meters above sea level. The people on the road are getting sparser and sparse. After passing Dingri County, there are no herdsmen along the way.
.The off-road vehicle went up the mountain, and there was almost no trace of the weeds clinging to the ground in the surrounding mountains. Cheng Tianle silently felt the vast artistic conception between heaven and earth, looking at the scenery outside the car window.
As the car entered a mountain pass, Cheng Tianle inexplicably felt that the light and shadow on the surrounding peaks showed a huge pattern that resembled the facial features of a human face. There was also some indescribable feeling of being watched in the soul. Not only one mountain, but also several surrounding mountains.
, the mountains not only have faces, but also seem to have genders. I have overlooked this valley for countless ages, silently watching the travelers in a hurry.
I don’t know what the meaning of this majestic gaze is, as if they are just spectators, watching the passage of time and the changes of heaven and earth, adding the spirit of heaven and earth to this desolate and mysterious plateau. Perhaps this is just a trance illusion, Cheng Tianle rushed by in a car,
Before I could take a closer look, I sighed inwardly at this incredible magic.
…
The convoy arrived at the foot of Mount Everest in the afternoon. There is the Rongbuk Temple, the highest temple in the world, and there is a hotel for tourists to stay next to the Rongbuk Temple, but the conditions are very simple. Since you want to visit such a place, you must overcome many difficulties.
Cheng Tianle did not come here to climb Mount Everest, but now that he is here, he naturally wants to see the appearance of the world's highest peak. The Everest Base Camp is at the foot of Mount Everest, which is the limit that ordinary tourists without mountaineering equipment can reach.
, the straight-line distance from the summit of Mount Everest is about 20 kilometers. Standing here, you can clearly see Mount Everest and the glaciers on the snow-capped mountains.
Early the next morning, Cheng Tianle first walked into the Rongbuk Temple. This is the highest temple in the world, but it is unknown, and there are not even many tourists. The people who come here are all going to Mount Everest, and along the way
We have seen too many temples. This is the third temple Cheng Tianle has visited this time, and it is also the smallest and tallest one.
Rongbuk Temple is also a complex of buildings built on the mountain. It looks like a small village with five floors. In fact, Cheng Tianle stayed in the guest room of Rongbuk Temple last night. This was once the only place to provide services at the foot of Mount Everest.
As for accommodation, a hotel has been built near Rongbuk Temple, and there is also a tent area a few kilometers ahead.
It was still very early when Cheng Tianle entered the temple. The pagoda, white walls, and prayer flags all radiated the chill of the plateau. Cheng Tianle entered the temple through the ajar door and walked around for a long time without seeing any monks. Until he climbed up the wooden stairs.
When I arrived at the main hall, I saw a monk and a nun, and I couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Zi Hao said secretly: "This temple is interesting, because monks and nuns live together!"
Cheng Tianle came up to say hello, paid homage to the ancestor enshrined in the temple and paid for incense. The monk smiled.
Under the guidance of a monk and a nun, Cheng Tianle left the main hall, turned south along the stone steps, and came to a small platform with another wooden staircase in front. There were many buildings around, but the monks and nuns specifically led the way.
Following him to come here to worship. Cheng Tianle climbed up the creaking stairs, opened a wooden door, and entered a Buddhist temple built on the mountain. The curtains were hung low, blocking the head of the Buddha statue.
