what the hell is

Back to the beginning of reincarnation?

Bo Renzhe said: "Thousands of years ago, the first great lama took the first life of his younger brother to the practice cave in the back mountain to understand life and death, but he never came out again. To end all this, we still have to go back there , open the closed door of the cave, and enter inside."

Li Yang asked: "Going inside will solve the problem?"

"Yes." Bo Renzheyang nodded: "I have a very strong feeling that the first lama is still waiting for the younger brother to go back down there."

"He's not dead?" We gasped.

Bo Renzheyang looked a little confused, shook his head and said, "I don't know. But I can feel a strong aura fluctuating below. If you want to end the thousand-year reincarnation, you have to go back to the beginning of this reincarnation." He looked Look at Liu Yan: "Brother, are you ready?"

Liu Yan nodded.

Bo Renzheyang led us out of the house holding a butter lamp.This time the itinerary was relatively long. We walked on the long and narrow wooden ladder, which almost traversed the entire mountain temple.There are many places where the bridge is over the cliff, and the wooden boards have been in disrepair for a long time, and they creak when stepped on.Fortunately, it was night, and we couldn't see our feet clearly. If we looked at the abyss in the daytime, no one would have the courage to step over it.

Finally we came to a wooden bridge.

This wooden bridge looks impossible to walk at all, because two thin iron chains traverse the cracks in the mountain, and the chains are covered with narrow strips of wood, which are blown by the wind and shake from side to side.The abyss under my feet was dark, misty, and unfathomable, which reminded me of the gate of hell.After all, Guimenguan belongs to another world that is relatively mysterious, but what we are facing now is a dangerous reality.One step in the air will inevitably be smashed to pieces.

Holding the lamp, Bo Renzheyang stepped onto the wooden bridge without any hesitation, and walked forward step by step. He didn't look back at us until the middle of the bridge.Liu Yan also walked over without hesitation. At this time, the wind picked up, and the two figures seemed to be flying above the abyss in the wind.The moonlight is like water, and the black mountains in the distance, a little light in the dark illuminates the lama, it really feels like the coming savior.

Bo Renzheyang shouted: "Several friends, if you can't make it through, don't force it. My junior brother and I will go back after looking at it."

I looked at Li Yang. Li Yang looked solemn, and suddenly said: "Old Liu, this is a test. If I go back here, I will have knots in my heart. Even if I die, I will have to go."

"I'll go too." Yang Shanshan said.

Li Yang nodded, reminding her to be careful.The two walked up the dangerous bridge one after the other. Li Yang was very smart, and immediately noticed the pattern after walking for a while, reminding Yang Shanshan to pay attention to the rhythm and angle of the wooden bridge swinging with the wind, and walk along the strength.

I sighed and walked up.Li Yang is right, I also think this is a test.It is my own test of myself, and I want to break through this psychological barrier.When I walked up, I realized that it was actually not that difficult.You can't see the abyss under your feet, just stare at the section in front of you.

Stepping on the bridge facing the wind and walking in the mountains under the moon, this feeling is very subtle. Looking at the round moon in the sky, there is really an illusion of flying up.

When we got there, Bo Renzheyang looked at all of us and smiled with his white teeth bared.

We saw that behind the temple, there is still such a place hidden.On the mountain wall, there are many caves the size of a person, densely packed, like a beehive.I only found out after asking Bo Renzheyang that this is the place where the caves in the temple practiced.Tibetan Buddhism has a tradition of cave cultivation. In the early days, practitioners entered the cave and immediately closed the entrance, leaving only a small mouth for delivering food.Practitioners practice Buddhism quietly in caves without communicating with the outside world. This is called retreat.But now it is more humane. Many temples have retreat rooms. You can choose an empty quiet room and go in to practice.

The Lotus Temple also maintains the tradition of practicing in caves for thousands of years.Although the years have eroded and the mountain has been destroyed, some caves have collapsed, but most of them are still well preserved.It is a very important means of cultivation for the monks of the Lotus Temple.

Sticking to the cliff wall, there are walking plank roads in the shape of spiraling upwards.The cave at the highest point was at least 50 meters above the ground. When I looked up, I felt top-heavy and my legs trembled.If you go up the plank road, you have to pee your pants.

Bo Renzheyang did not lead us up, but entered a huge mountain pit along a spiral wooden ladder.It is not clear how deep this pit is. It is funnel-shaped, large at the top, and narrower as it goes down.According to the wall of the pit, houses were built.Because of the terrain, these houses are built completely along the angle and width of the pit wall. It looks like a nest built by a big bird. The planks are put together like building blocks, and the concept is very delicate.

What amazes me is not the shape of the house, but the degree of danger and workload.The materials used for construction need to be brought in from outside the mountain piece by piece.And if the craftsman who built it accidentally fell into the pit, he would die.It's really hard for people who lived thousands of years ago to make it.

We circled along the stairs to the bottom and entered a room.It was pitch black inside. Bo Renzheyang hung the butter lamp on the low ceiling, and the light flickered on. The scene in the room made me completely dumbfounded.

The walls of the house are painted with black oil, and the workmanship is very rough. Some places are thick and others are thin, dripping and falling on the ground.But just because of this, the whole room looks indescribably oppressive and mysterious, making it hard to breathe.This place should be an abandoned Buddhist hall. It is cold and cold. It is estimated that no one has been there for a long time. The floor is covered with dilapidated felts, and the altar table is covered with thick dust.

Seeing this, I broke out in a cold sweat.This Buddhist hall is the place where the first great lama and Liu Yan talked about life and death in the painting on the Thangka.The walls in the painting are covered with all kinds of distorted black shadows, which are very scary.

This place is very uncomfortable, always feeling hairy, I shrunk my shoulders and hid behind Li Yang.

Bo Renzheyang took out a stick of Tibetan incense, wiped the dusty incense burner slightly, and then inserted the incense into it.The rich Zang fragrance gradually wafted away.

"Give me my respects to the Great Demon Lord," he said.

Only then did we see that there was another statue of a god on the altar.He has a roaring animal face, wears a crown with five skulls on his head, holds a magic weapon in his hand, and steps on an old cow kneeling on the ground below.There is actually a naked person under the cow, who is closely connected with the cow.It's like this cow is mating with that person.Next to the statue is a statue of a woman, who is naked and cuddling tightly, holding a magic weapon in one hand and a human skull bowl in the other.

In the already small Buddhist hall, seeing such a god who is almost the same size as a demon, the shock is indescribable.People can't look directly at it, and they feel creepy when they look at it, and the hairs on their backs stand on end.

"Who is this?" I asked tremblingly.

Bo Renzheyang said quietly: "This is the demon king descending from hell, a guardian god who symbolizes wisdom. Legend has it that he was transformed by the Lord of Hell."

"I still don't get it," I said.

Bo Renzheyang looked at me and smiled slightly: "To put it simply, it is Lord Yama who is in charge of hell in our understanding!"

I gasped, looked at this god statue, and felt a cool breeze all over my body: "Why do you worship this here?"

Bo Renzhe said: "The first great lama of the temple is said to be the incarnation of Lord Yama in the world."

Li Yang clapped his hands pretending to be clever: "Ah, I see, that's why he can see through the secrets of reincarnation." He said abruptly, "Is this great lama doing some experiments to select monks for reincarnation?"

I gave him a hard look: "You don't say a few words, no one will treat you as dumb."

Bo Renzheyang smiled and didn't say anything. He asked us two men to move the altar away. There was a bluestone slab underneath.There is a handle on the bluestone board, and Li Yang and I lifted one each, and we pulled the board away with force together.A damp air suddenly emanated from below.

Bo Renzheyang took down the butter lamp, lay down on the ground and looked inside to shine a light. In the dim light, we saw a large raised rock in the narrow underground.It was obvious that the rock blocked some cave below.

Liu Yan squatted on the ground and said flatly: "My first life was sealed below."

Li Yang and I looked at each other, unable to say anything.

Bo Renzheyang patted Liu Yan: "Junior brother, to open this stone, we can only use modern blasting methods."

Liu Yan looked at him.

"And if blasting is used," Bo Renzhe said, "it will cause a chain reaction of cracks in the mountain, causing the entire temple to collapse. Except for this hole, everything in the temple will cease to exist."

Yang Shanshan said unconvinced, "How do you know?"

Bo Renzheyang raised the lamp in front of him, and his pale face was reddened by the flames: "Because I sealed this stone back then."

We didn't speak, the room was silent.Bo Renzhe said: "This is an ancient reincarnation language. The entire mountain temple was built to understand the cycle of life and death. At this moment, the only way to break the cycle of reincarnation is to blow up the mountain temple. This is a fate. .is also a choice."

Liu Yan smiled slightly: "Since it's a choice, it must be more than one choice."

Bo Renzheyang nodded: "Come with me."

We left the Buddhist hall, followed the stairs, and returned to the pit.Bo Renzheyang took us to the practice cave on the cliff, pointed to the highest cave and said: "According to legend, there is a crack hidden in the depth of that cave, which is as deep as a thousand feet, leading to the bottom of the pit where your previous life is. But this is just a legend, and no one has seen it before. Moreover, there are many dangers in the cracks, including poisonous gas and strange insects, and they may collapse at any time. If you die in the first life, you will be reborn again. But if you miss this opportunity, you will probably forget everything here. Even if you think about it, you will not have the opportunity and financial resources to do it again, and you will sink into endless reincarnation without liberation. That is to say , you have two choices, one is to blast the rocks at the bottom of the pit; the other is to climb in along the most dangerous crack. The first choice, you will get rid of the suffering of reincarnation as you wish, but the Millennium Mountain Temple was destroyed. The second choice, You only have one chance, if you miss it, you may never be able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

I was drooling when I heard it next to me, damn it, don't be so cruel.

Liu Yan was silent for a while, and then laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Brother, the choice is mine?"

Bo Renzhe nodded.

Liu Yan said: "Tomorrow morning, you can bring all the monks in the temple down the mountain. Xiao Liu, Xiao Li, Shanshan, you also go down the mountain, tell Vice President Li, give those foreigners a week to prepare, and then go up the mountain to enter the temple During this period of time, I want to be alone in the temple quietly."

"What did you ask those foreigners to prepare?" Li Yang asked.

"Dynamite." Liu Yan said flatly, "The specific equivalent, how to explode, brother knows."

I screamed: "Senior, are you really going to blow up the temple?"

Liu Yan looked at the cave at the highest point and said nothing.
