Tomb Raider: I, at the beginning, took Fatty Lao Hu as my younger brother

"Lama Medicine Master, can you please bury my companion by the Fairy Lake?"

The lama immediately shook his head and said, "Absolutely not. Tibetans believe that only criminals should be buried in the earth. If they are buried in the earth, their souls will never be liberated!"

"When the sun shines during the day, the soul in the soil will feel like it is being boiled in a hot pot. When the moonlight shines at night, it will feel like it is falling into an ice cave, shivering unbearably!"

"If it rains, it feels like thousands of arrows piercing my heart. If it is windy, it feels like being cut by thousands of steel knives. It is extremely painful."

"There are eighteen sky burial platforms on a mountain not far from the lake. Put the body there and let his soul be liberated!"

Everyone finished listening.

Well! Which great god invented these new tortures in the eighteen levels of hell?

This is preparing to add bricks and tiles to the eighteen levels of hell!

After hearing this, everyone felt a chill!

Poachers are also inland.

It is the most normal thing for the dead to be buried in the inland.

The poacher continued to beg: "Lama Medicine Master, this, this is all in our place..."

The lama interrupted and explained, “In the Tibetan mainland, all methods of dealing with corpses are popular except burial.”

"But because of the lack of fuel for cremation, the bodies are usually carried to the sky burial platform on the top of the mountain, where they are chopped up and thrown to the birds and animals."

"If the deceased died from some dangerous contagious disease, burial is also customary!"

The Lama finished speaking.

Zhou Xun frowned.

He could barely understand the idea of ​​distributing the dead to birds and animals as a way of giving back to nature.

This man chopped up the dead and distributed them to the birds and beasts.

Zhou Xun really didn’t understand!

What kind of person can chop his own kind into pieces? Is there anyone normal except a pervert?

But it’s none of my business.

Zhou Xun didn't ask!

The poachers were also persuaded by the Lama.

There's no way around it. Don't we have to follow their rules when we're on their territory?

Are they going to carry the body back?

Then, with the help of several Tibetans, they carried the bodies of their companions to the sky burial platform.

At this time, Lao Hu also saw the blue strap on the poacher.

I know, there must be a gun in here.

Just as Lao Hu was about to speak, Zhou Xun stopped him and said, "We have it too!"

Zhou Xun finished speaking.

Only then did Old Hu remember Zhou Xun's magical power of the Five Ghosts Moving Technique.

So he took back what he wanted to say!

The poachers are gone.

Those idlers also dispersed.

Lao Hu said to the Lama, "Ake, I am here to find the ancient tomb of the evil god of the Demon Kingdom. Can you find a singer and guide for our expedition team who is familiar with the history of the Demon Kingdom and its neighboring countries?"

Uncle Ming and others did not expect that Lao Hu would reveal the purpose of their trip in this way.

Aren’t you afraid of being kicked out by other families?

Ake thought for a moment and said, "Digging ancient tombs is a crime against nature, but digging the tombs of the Demon Kingdom is different. Demons are sealed in the tombs of the Demon Kingdom."

"It is a great threat to the people. Throughout history, there have been many highly skilled monks who want to exorcise demons and protect the law, and completely eradicate the ancient tombs of the Demon Kingdom."

"To prevent the evil god from returning to the world, but we don't have any clues!"

"Since you are willing to go, this is a good deed with immeasurable merit."

This answer once again caught Uncle Ming and others by surprise.

This demon-slayer guardian had great merits. Zhou Xun almost felt like he had gone to the world of Journey to the West when he heard about it...

Ake continued, "The poets who are familiar with the stories of Tibet are all taught by God. They do not accept the way of passing on knowledge from father to son or from master to apprentice."

"Some people suddenly become able to recite millions of words of poetry after suffering a serious illness or sleeping well."

The fat man was shocked and said, "Is it so mysterious? Don't we need to learn it?"

The fat man was shocked and even showed an envious look!

Shirley Yang was also very surprised. This was beyond the scientific scope that ordinary people could understand.

Lao Hu asked, "Ake, do you know where there are some minstrels?"

Ak smiled and said, "No need to look for it. I was a person who was gifted by heaven before I became a monk, but I haven't talked about it for nearly 30 years."

"The poems of the Great King of the World's Enemy-Defeating Jewel and the Jade Eye Jewel, oh! I can hardly remember them all!"

Chapter 237: Samsara Temple in the Ancient City

After saying this, Ak shook his head regretfully.

Upon hearing that Lao Hu was looking for a singer, Tiebang Lama Ake was very happy and immediately volunteered to join the team!

For Ake, destroying the Demon Lord’s tomb is what he should do as the iron rod protector of the Buddha!

Subduing demons is the top priority of the Iron Rod Protector!

Although I haven't chanted the poem of the King of Defeatable Jewels for more than 30 years, this natural gift is not something that can be learned. If I think about it carefully, I can still remember a lot of it.

Ak agreed.

Old Hu said worriedly, "Why don't you introduce another poet to us? The journey ahead is long and dangerous, and we have to climb to the top of the snowy mountain. You are over sixty years old, and your health is not as good as before."

After all, he is Lao Hu’s friend.

The fat man also advised: "That's right, don't worry, Ake, we will definitely help you~ destroy this evil god!"

Ake said firmly: "I made a great wish to circumambulate the lake here, and then, Ge Ma that child still hasn't improved, I hope I can do something great this time."

"Bring Ge Ma's soul back from the underworld. Tibetans believe that a person who has lost his mind is suffering from soul separation syndrome. After the task is completed, he must return to Rao Lake to fulfill his wish!"

"People who practice cultivation have completely different views on death and life than ordinary people. If you die while accumulating merit, you will surely be reborn in paradise!"

Obviously, Ake's attitude is very firm!

His whole body shows a mentality of not fearing death. Even if he dies, he will go to paradise and achieve transcendence!

Zhou Xun said, "Okay, at worst we can just take care of you on the way!"

Seeing that Ake was so determined, Lao Hu stopped trying to persuade him.

Nodded to Zhou Xun.

If Ake goes, he will play a very important role along the way.

Ake is well versed in Tibetan customs and understands Tantric medical principles. Having him accompany us on this journey will definitely save us a lot of trouble!

Everyone cleaned up and prepared everything.

Continue to let Wangdui lead the way.

Head to the Ali region at the foot of the Himalayas in the westernmost part of Tibet.

......

The group arrived at Senge Zangbu and rested in the town for two days. Then they asked the guide to hire a few yaks for the people who were severely lacking in oxygen and Ake to ride.

The group then set out for the ruins of the royal city to search for the Silver Eye of Guge.

The road was very desolate, with no human habitation and sparse yellow grass scattered across the Gobi Desert.

There was not much wind, and when I looked up at the sky, it was all blue.

Because of the contrast with the sky, the dead trees and weeds on the ground seem somewhat glaring.

The brown mountains in the distance appear so majestic and strange that one dares not look at them for too long!

The crowd did not move very fast.

Lao Hu led the yak for Ake, and Ake was telling everyone the poems he had learned by divine gift in the past on the yak's back.

They are all monsters and demons, and there will be a great battle with soldiers and generals coming and going!

At this time.

There were some wooden stakes protruding from the ground on the roadside.

Shirley Yang looked at the wooden stakes and said, "Do these look like the remains of an ancient tomb?"

As soon as I heard the ancient tomb.

The fat man immediately became alert, looked around, and asked, "Where is it, where is it, where is the ancient tomb?"

Even Uncle Ming, who was lying on the cow's back with difficulty breathing, perked up and stretched his neck to look at the roadside.

The guide explained: "Those ancient tombs have long been abandoned, and the things inside are gone. Don't be fooled by the desolate and barren nature of this place. In fact, around the Tang Dynasty, this place was filled with Qilian junipers!"

"The structure of the ancient tomb is paved with whole Qilian junipers. This strange tree prefers drought to moisture and is only found on the mountains where Qingzang meets Qing."

Old Hu asked in doubt: "Are there any Qilian junipers here?"

Zhou Xun said: "There is definitely nothing here. It should have been brought from the Central Plains in ancient times."

The guide nodded and said, "Yes, these were all gifts from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the King of Tubo. They were transported from a long distance, but later there was a civil war in Tubo and these tombs were destroyed, but the ruins have been preserved until today."

After walking through the ruins of this desolate tomb.

After walking for about another day, we finally arrived at the ancient city.

This place has been discovered for a long time. Apart from a large number of murals, sculptures and statues, there are only the ruins of the city.

··· 0Request flowers·· ········

At that time, this place did not attract much attention, and no iron gate was installed and people were assigned to guard it like a few years later.

Looking down from the mountain, everyone saw that there was a drop of more than 300 meters from the hillside to the top of the mountain.

Everywhere there are buildings and caves the same color as the earth.

Except for the temples with relatively solid structures, other houses have collapsed long ago, and in some cases, only some earthen walls remain.

There are traces of city walls and watchtowers on the periphery.

The entire royal city was built on the mountain. The highest point was the royal palace on the top of the mountain, the middle level was the temple, and below were the residents and outer defensive buildings.

The fat man looked at the ruins below and said, "Is this the ruins of the royal city? Isn't this royal city a little too small?"

..... ....... ...

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "It's a little small. The ancient city of Jingjue is bigger than this!"

Lao Hu said: "It is a little small, but it is not easy for us to find it!"

Zhou Xun turned to Uncle Ming and asked, "The ancient city ruins are only this small, but there are hundreds of houses and caves. It will take us a long time to find them."

"Where exactly is the Guge Silver Eye you mentioned? Let's just go there according to our goal."

Due to altitude sickness, Uncle Ming's thinking became very slow.

After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered: "It's probably in the temple, not in the palace. According to the records in the scriptures, there should be a reincarnation temple here. It should be there."

The fat man said speechlessly: "Are you asking us to search for all these temples below one by one?"

Shirley Yang asked Uncle Ming, "Are there any features outside the Samsara Temple?"

Uncle Ming thought hard and shook his head.

When Zhou Xun saw Uncle Ming like this, he thought, well, he said he wasn't here to hold us back...

Zhou Xun asked Ake: "Do you know which Samsara Temple it is?"

Lama Ake could certainly tell which was the Samsara Temple from the outer perimeter of the ancient temple.
