[Grave Robber] Dragon Soul

"That's a good idea..." Jian Sansheng looked up and down the tomb with a smile, raised his eyebrows leisurely, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, hurry up and wake them up, it's getting late."

With a sigh, Ling Muyang happily left.Seeing his wretched appearance, Jian Wuzheng raised the corners of his mouth helplessly, then suddenly remembered something, frowned, and quickly chased after him, still yelling in a low voice: "Wait for the mausoleum! Don't call him Qianzi! "

It's a pity that the little ancestor reminded too late, only to hear a scream of "Ouch" suddenly from the tent, and the sound echoed over the silent wasteland, scaring away a few Tibetan antelopes.

Since they were disturbed by the thief last night, several of them felt uncomfortable, so they all woke up when Ling Muyang yelled, but most of them were woken up by his miserable howling.

After packing up their equipment, everyone dressed neatly and followed Ling Muyang across a small valley. The itinerary was no longer the one that had been planned before.

At this time, the sun was warm and the snow was negligibly light. Ling Muyang squatted on the ground with a panda eye on his face, and he was still holding the stick for sticking fish that he took from the herdsman's tent by the lake. Afterwards, a formation that was slightly different from when they got up early gradually appeared in front of everyone.

Jian Sansheng rubbed his chin and stood watching. Although he had been in contact with many artifacts and knew a little about astrological symbols, he had never seen such a pattern.

Jian Wuzheng stood beside Wang Ziqian, looked back at the black Tibetan mastiff that had been following not far behind, and said, "Qianzi, why does it keep following us?"

Wang Ziqian also looked back, then shook his head lightly to express that he was not clear either.

When Huo San'er and the others heard Jian Wuzheng's words, they also looked at the majestic Tibetan mastiff in amazement, thinking that it was really easy to get free bodyguards, and now they don't have to be afraid of those big horse bears and wild yaks. , I just don’t know if it can help them catch some game back. After eating compressed food for several days, the stomach almost went on strike.

Ling Muyang, who was completely immersed in his own world, didn't pay attention to what other people were saying, but stood up and looked at the formation picture, and nodded as I wanted: "Second Master, we just need to pass through The entrance to the underground palace can be found in the ice cave in front, those people holding my compass will definitely not go to such a dangerous place, the so-called smooth wind, the compass will only show the easiest way."

"Yeah." Jian Sansheng felt that this was just right, so he patted Ling Muyang on the shoulder and said, "Yes, no matter how dangerous it is, it's worth breaking into any dangerous place, and we are the smartest , I’m not afraid of these small ups and downs.”

Greeting everyone to move on, Jian Sansheng also looked back at the Tibetan Mastiff, and found that it was parked not far from the entrance of the ice cave, so he stopped following and squatted on the ground, watching them quietly When a person walks into the entrance of the cave, his expression is honest and loyal, like a pet dog at home waiting for the owner to return.

Jian Wuzheng also discovered this, so he said to his second brother: "When we come out, I want to take it back to Beijing."

Hearing this, Jian Sansheng glanced at him, spread his hands in annoyance, and said, "I said little ancestor, let's say goodbye to the Holy Mother, how about you dare to take it back for such a big one, even if you get it back, you will serve it What's wrong, it's used to being wild on this plateau, and you suddenly find it a place where it can't run or jump, you have to think about whether it can stand it."

Jian Wuzheng, who was humiliated by being run over by Jian Sansheng, couldn't help but glared at the other party, but knew in his heart that what the second brother said was right, so he stopped talking and followed the team quietly.

The interior of the entire ice cave is extremely wide, and some places are very neat, it seems that it is not formed naturally.The thick ice slag on the ground made a crunching sound when stepped on, echoing in the ice cave, making people feel very uncomfortable.Layers of ice on the walls of the cave covered the original interior, forming strange shapes.Occasionally a few ice bamboo shoots hang down, accidentally scratching the clothes.

As he walked, Jian Wuzheng suddenly noticed some strange patterns on the ice wall on the right. He tugged at Wang Ziqian, then turned and walked to the side of the ice wall.

Naturally, Wang Ziqian followed and walked over together. The others stopped and looked at them when they realized that the two hadn't followed.

Jian Wuzheng reached out to touch the strange pattern, and found that the pattern was actually covered by ice, and only a rough outline could be seen, so she turned her head and said to Wang Ziqian, "Qianzi, take your Tai'a sword Use it for me."

When Jian Sansheng heard that Jian Wuzheng wanted Tai'a Sword, he also walked over, watched him use the ancient sword to dig out the ice on the cave wall bit by bit, and said, "Why, what did you find?"

After removing the thick layer of ice above, Jian Wuzheng discovered that the last thing exposed in the air was a dark "卍" symbol, and she couldn't help pointing at the swastika and asked strangely: "Second brother, do you know this? What do you mean?"

"This is..." Jian Sansheng stretched out his hand to touch the symbol, and found that the symbol was carved with a knife. It was very regular and sprayed with colored oil. He was also very puzzled: "...Swastika? Is it a symbol of Buddhism? But why is this upside down, and how can there be a Buddhist mark in such a place?"

Before Jian Wuzheng could answer, Huo San'er and the others in front also saw the same thing.As they walked, they used Tai'a swords or crowbars to dig out the ice on the cave wall, and found that the ice walls on both sides of the road were full of this kind of "Swastika" symbol opposite to the Buddhist "Swastika". There are some graphics of horses and dogs mixed in. I don't know what it means.

Going further inside, due to the light, several people had to take out wolf-eye flashlights to illuminate.It wasn't until they walked into a wider cave that everyone was sure that the ice cave was not formed naturally.

I saw a huge humanoid statue in the center of the cave, but because it has been covered by ice for many years, it is completely invisible now.Countless Otaru statues are neatly placed on the left and right walls of the giant statue. On the back wall of the giant statue, there are large and exquisite murals carved. Even if it is covered by ice, it can be seen that its prototype must be extremely magnificent.

In front of the statue are two pillars that go straight to the top of the cave. The ice on the pillars is relatively thin, and you can see things like Falun and auspicious knots carved on them.

Jian Sansheng pondered for a while, and then said: "I remember that in addition to Tibetan Buddhism, there is also a Bon religion in Tibet. I don't know which religion's temple this is, but it is built in such a deserted place."

Long before he opened his mouth, Jian Wuzheng and the others ran to the murals they were interested in and looked at them while chiseling.Seeing this, Jian Sansheng also followed. After seeing a mural depicting many people kneeling with their hands folded and their bodies flat on the ground, he finally realized it and said: "It turned out to be a temple of the Bon religion. Look at this painting. It’s about the scene of Tibetans worshiping Xin Rao Muwo, the ancestor of the Bon religion.”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the giant statue in the center of the ice cave, and said, "It seems that this statue is carved with Sim Raumwo, so it's not surprising why this temple was built in such a place."

It turns out that before Buddhism was introduced into Tibet, Bon religion had been widely spread in this snowy land.The word "Benz" in Bon religion refers to the sum of people's hazy understanding of the original things in nature. Its core content includes ghosts, elves, souls, luck and so on.And this religion has no independent doctrines and theories, and all its concepts and contents are embodied through Bon wizards, divination, prayer, illusion, spells and various special rituals.

However, after Buddhism was introduced into Tibet, the two religions fought a protracted war for religious dominance, which ended with the defeat of the Bon religion.However, the large and small temples of Bon religion are still distributed in every corner of this plateau, and the mountains, rivers, ghosts and gods it fears and enshrines are still worshiped by many people.

Speaking of how Jian Sansheng knew so much, I would like to thank a college classmate of Lu Xueqing. That girl is specialized in studying Tibetan culture. When he accompanied Lu Xueqing to travel to Tibet, he happened to meet that girl, so he listened to her. There are many legends about Tibetan religion.

"Oh, just touch Yesaled." Jian Sansheng pointed to a line of words under the mural and read: "This is the eight-character mantra of Bon religion, which is completely different from the six-character mantra of Buddhism."

Going further along the wall, there is a mural explaining the "Swastika" character of the Bon religion. It says that "Swastika" symbolizes light and endless reincarnation, and contains the meaning of eternity, firmness, and infinity.

After hearing what the second master said, Huo San'er was immediately amused, and immediately straightened his expression, put his hands on his chest, and said seriously: "The Dharma is indeed vast and boundless. We, who specialize in digging people's graves, may be punished today. Beyond that."

"My heart is suddenly clear, let's put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately." Following Huo San'er's example, Brother Bei also solemnly bowed twice in front of the mural.

"You brat dare not be serious in this kind of place." Jian Sansheng rewarded a chestnut by himself, looked at the countless "卍" characters painted on the wall, and said: "Some things, if you believe in them, you will have them. If you don't believe them, he will It’s not necessarily nothing, we cut out our bodies every day, we have to pay attention to this kind of thing, how many times have I told you, don’t care about everything all day long, think about your wife and children at home.”

It was said that Huo San'er and Brother Bei looked at each other with a hippie smile, and then said in unison: "How dare we not listen to the words of Zhangyan."

As soon as Jian Sansheng heard this, he knew that the two bastards didn't take it seriously, and was about to curse again when he heard a hissing sound from the depths of the cave.

Dazed for a moment, Jian Sansheng looked at other people and found that everyone had heard the voice, so he said, "Is there anyone else in this cave besides us?"

Huo San'er was also taken aback, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and was about to take two steps forward to have a look, when Wang Ziqian grabbed his arm next to him.

"Don't go there, it's not human." Staring coldly into the dark depths, Wang Ziqian warned in a low voice with no expression on his face.
