The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 133 [133] The girl sleeping in the coffin, the Rakshasa witch?

Jia Baoyu laughed and said, "Liu Xianglian, you are still so kind."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, so it's an act of accumulating virtue. Let's go."

Liu Xianglian patted Jia Baoyu and Bao Yong's shoulders, and the three followed Jia Qiang into the main hall.

Jia Qiang noticed that the three of them were following, but she didn't stop them.

There are three bronze Buddhas enshrined in the main hall.

At the base of the wall on the west side of the hall, there is a coffin made of pineapple wood.

Although the coffin was covered, Jia Qiang had already used the celestial burial eye, and through the coffin, she saw the corpse of an old lama lying inside.

It should be the old lama that the host abbot mentioned on the phone.

The old lama lay quietly on his back in the coffin, and there was no corpse change.

Jia Qiang came to the front, first read a scripture to pray for the deceased, then stretched out her right hand and pushed it, and easily lifted the lid of the coffin.

"What a lot of strength!"

Jia Baoyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

His body is as strong as a fat pig, and he has brute strength, but if he is asked to push the coffin lid, he must use both hands to push it away.

It is absolutely impossible to do it as easily as Jia Qiang.

In fact, this is because Jia Qiang's strength has been greatly improved after obtaining the sky burial system.

In terms of single-round strength, the current Jia Qiang is not inferior to the bull's head and horse face, and even slightly better.

Jia Qiang took out a dark red shroud from the bamboo basket, and wrapped the old lama's body tightly from head to toe.

Then use a white corpse rope to tie up the corpse.

In the funeral ceremony such as sky burial, there is particularity about what color shroud and corpse rope are used.

Common people generally use white shrouds.

The dignitaries used to wear yellow shrouds.

Monks basically use dark red shrouds.

But when binding their corpses, they all use white corpse ropes.

Black corpse ropes are used only when binding the corpses of criminals.

Jia Qiang carried the old lama's body on her back and walked straight out of the main hall.

Liu Xianglian and the other three did not continue to follow, but turned back to the backyard, wanting to find if there is any treasure buried in this temple?

Jia Baoyu asked suspiciously:

"Liu Xianglian, can there really be treasures in this ruined temple?"

Liu Xianglian said firmly:
"Of course, in Tibet, there may be treasures buried underneath even the smallest temples.

According to Tibetan customs, when a person is dying, they will donate their most cherished treasures to temples, hoping to obtain the blessings of gods and Buddhas.

Please Buddha bless you, after falling into reincarnation, you can be reincarnated into a good family.

In order to store these treasures, the lamas of the temple dug cellars in the temple as underground treasure caves.

These cellars have small entrances and large bellies shaped like piggy banks.

The entrance may be less than half a foot square, and the treasure can only be thrown into the cellar, but cannot be taken out.

Over time, countless treasures have accumulated in the treasure cave, and even the lamas themselves may not be able to remember how many treasures there are. "

When Jia Baoyu heard it, he regained his energy, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He was as fat as a fat pig, but he ran faster than a rabbit.

The Iron Triangle of Tomb Robbers rummaged through boxes and cabinets from room to room, knocking on the floor or walls from time to time, looking for hollow mezzanines, and never letting go of every corner.

Unknowingly, they walked into the west guest room again.

Liu Xianglian said with emotion:

"Fortunately, this temple is on the verge of being abandoned, and there is no termon guarding it. Otherwise, we really wouldn't dare to look for treasures so blatantly."

"You guys are so brave, you dare to dig treasures here!"

Suddenly, there was a woman's coquettish voice in the room.

Liu Xianglian and Jia Baoyu shuddered at the same time, and looked in the direction of the sound in unison. What jumped into their eyes was a bright red coffin placed on the bed.

"Little sister, are you talking?" Liu Xianglian asked.

"Squeak-"

A crisp sound.

The coffin lid was pushed away from the inside, and the girl sat up straight:

"Yes, it's me. Who are you? Why are you digging for treasure?"

Jia Baoyu laughed and lied, "We are archaeologists."

The girl rolled her eyes and said with a sly smile:
"What valuable treasures can there be in this ruined temple? I can take you to find the legendary treasure."

Jia Baoyu asked eagerly, "Where is the great treasure?"

The girl asked faintly: "Have you ever heard of the Rakshasa witch in Tibet?"

Liu Xianglian's face changed slightly: "I heard that, you mean that the great treasure is related to the Rakshasa Witch?"

Jia Baoyu asked, "Who is the Rakshasa Witch?"

Liu Xianglian said solemnly:

"It is said that under the snow-covered plateau in Tibet, there is a huge Rakshasa witch lying on her back.

In ancient times, due to the sparsely populated Tibetan areas, demons ran rampant and occupied the mountains and rivers, and the entire Tibetan area was reduced to a demon realm.

In the eighth century A.D., Guru Rinpoche went to Tibet to promote Buddhism, and when he saw rampant demons, he took action to suppress and eradicate them.

However, after the demon died, the body did not rot, but turned into mountains and rivers in Tibet.

So now, the shape of the entire Tibet is like a witch lying on her back.

Later, in the Tang Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo of the Tubo Dynasty married Princess Chizun of the Niphara Kingdom and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty at the same time.

Princess Chizun brought a statue of Buddha from Niphara and wanted to build a temple to enshrine it, but it was never completed because of the haunting of demons.

So Princess Chizun asked Princess Wencheng to help guess the best place to build the temple.

Princess Wencheng used gossip to deduce, and calculated that Tibet does not have eight auspicious signs, but there are five to eight kinds of earth evil.

Princess Wencheng used "85 Five-element Algorithm Observation Methods" to deduce that the topography of the snow-covered Tibet is like a Rakshasa witch lying on her back.

Wotang Lake in Sunlight City is the heart of the female devil, and the lake water is the blood of the female devil. Red Mountain and Yaowang Mountain are the heart and chest of the female devil, as well as its veins and heart orifices.

For the peace of Tibet, Songtsan Gampo ordered people to build a palace on the Potala Red Mountain to hold the heart of the witch.

They also used goats to transport red soil, filled Wotang Lake at the heart of the female devil, and built the Jokhang Temple.

In addition to these key points, Songtsan Gampo also built the Twelve Demon-Suppressing Temples on the joints of the female devil's limbs, as the twelve unmovable nails to suppress the female devil. "

Jia Baoyu exclaimed, "Is it so evil? Is it true?"

Liu Xianglian said with emotion:

"Whether it's true or not, I'm not sure.
However, in the 90s of the last century, two thangkas called "The Map of the Town of Tibet" were unearthed from an ancient tomb, and the portraits of Rakshasa Witches were painted on them. "

"It's true." The girl said suddenly.

Jia Baoyu was surprised and said, "How do you know it's true?"

The girl said faintly: "My mother told me."

Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Little sister, do you take the fairy tales your mother told you seriously?"

The girl sneered and said:

"If you knew the strange things that happened to me, you wouldn't take what I said as a joke. Do you know why I sleep in a coffin?"
