Chapter 510 Tribute
At sunset, we finally arrived at the Snow Temple.
This is a temple with a very Tibetan characteristic. There are colorful flags hanging at the door and many scripture symbols are painted on it.
This Snow Temple is also made of local materials and built with rocks. Almost every stone is engraved with Tibetan scriptures, which adds a lot of mysterious atmosphere to the Snow Temple.
The top of the Snow God Temple is made of glazed tiles. According to Shi Zhiming, these glazed tiles were given by a Tibetan temple.
It is precisely because of these glazed tiles that when the sunlight falls, a sacred halo can appear on the roof of the Snow Temple, making the Snow Temple not look so simple.
Yes, yes, in fact, this Snow Temple is a rather simple temple, without any complex structure or magnificent momentum.
The Snow Temple is divided into two rooms in front and back. The front room is called the front hall and the back hall is called the back hall.
The area and scale of this Snow God Temple are not as large as the mountain god temple in Shuipou Village before.
There is no statue of the Snow God in the Snow God Temple. There is a yellow banner full of scriptures hanging in the middle, and a large incense burner is placed underneath. The incense burner is filled with incense ash and several broken incense threads are inserted. Under the corner of the wall, there is a stone desk with many glass lamps on it, which is often seen in Buddhist temples. Whenever believers make a wish, they will light up the ointment in the glass lamp.
Xiong Da and Shi Zhiming lived in Menba Village for so long and had already integrated into Tibetan life. So when we walked to the front of the stone desk, we naturally picked up the glass lamp, each of us lit an oil lamp, placed it under the yellow prayer flag, folded our hands together, and looked pious.
Ku Junwei and Chen Shiba also walked over and lit a lamp. The Taoist custom also used to light a lamp.
I also walked over, originally going to follow the local customs, but I would light a lamp and make a wish.
Just as I was lighting the light, I glanced at Lei Zi sneaked into the back hall alone.
Soon, Lei Zi's joyful scream came from the back hall: "Wow! I didn't expect there was so much food here! Come in and take a look!"
I put down the oil lamp in my hand and walked into the back hall.
The back hall is not spacious, it is even more cramped than the front hall, and it looks more like a stone room.
There is a window on the left and right sides of the stone room. The sun shines on the ancient window lattice, exuding a faint poetic feeling.
There are prayer flags hanging on the windows, like curtains, floating in the wind.
There is no decoration in the back hall, but there is a long stone table in the center.
The stone table was filled with all kinds of food, which was obviously a tribute to the Snow God.
At a glance, there were sausages, smoked pig heads, cooked whole chicken, some vegetables, fruits, etc., and cakes with great ethnic characteristics, like a rich buffet, mouth-watering.
I looked at it and found that these tributes were still fresh, and it would not take more than two or three days. They should have been delivered by villagers in Menba Village in the past two days. The temperature on the mountain is low and it is a natural large freezer, so there is no sign of deterioration in these foods.
When I walked in, Leizi had already pulled off a chicken leg, picked up a brass wine pot on the table, shook the wine pot, and there was a clanging sound of water inside. Leizi stretched out his nose and sniffed it, and his eyes were so excited that he shone: "That's great! There's still wine to drink! Hahaha!"
Lei Zi raised the wine pot, tilted his neck and took a big sip, exclaiming "Good wine!", and lifted up the chicken legs and stuffed them into his mouth.
"My master cannot do it! cannot do it!"
I took a step forward, reached out to block Lei Zi, grabbed the chicken leg and put it back into the plate.
Lei Zi looked at me with red eyebrows and green eyes: "Jiujizi, don't you still have a chicken leg? Why do you want to steal me?"
I glared at Leizi: "Who is fighting for chicken legs with you? Your uncle, these are all tributes placed by villagers here, how can you eat them casually?"
"Tribute?" Lei Zi shrugged: "I don't believe in the God of Snow Mountain! Besides, wouldn't it be a pity if these tributes are left here? Let me help solve them!"
Lei Zi smiled, stretched out his salty hand and wanted to get the chicken legs again.
At this moment, a cold light flashed across Lei Zi's back of his hand, scaring Lei Zi so much that he shivered back.
When I looked closely, I saw an iron sword inserted obliquely on the chicken, and the sword body was still buzzing and trembling.
Lei Zi turned his head and looked angry: "Brother Wei, are you going to buy me?"
Ku Junwei walked in, pulled up the iron sword on the table, and said with a serious look: "You should have chopped off your savage hands! These are tributes, which are the beliefs of the villagers of Menba Village. They are worshipped to the God of Snow Mountain, not for you to eat! You can eat it as soon as you bring it, do you think you are the God of Snow Mountain?"
Lei Zi rubbed his hands, swallowed hard, his eyes stayed on the fat chicken reluctantly, and said, "What kind of tribute is not tribute? If it is food, it should be eaten! Don't be so serious. It's a waste to put it here anyway. Why don't we eat it, right? We have been trekking all day and are almost starving to death. Could it be that we can't eat it yet? If we don't eat food in front of us, then we are not brain-diseased!"
"Of course you can eat things! We bring our own dry food!" Shi Zhiming said, while taking out a food bag from his backpack, which contained the bun made of barley noodles. The locals called barley cakes.
Lei Zi frowned and said, "Damn it! If you don't eat wine and meat, do we want to eat this thing? Is this thing not nutritious? What if I faint on the road? No, I still have to eat meat. Meat is rich in protein and can allow us to supplement nutrition!"
Leizi said, and reached out to grab the smoked pig's head.
"I have bacon and baked potatoes here, which is pretty good!" Xiong Da said.
"Bao meat? The bacon is very salty and dry after eating! Potatoes are not good either. If you eat them, you will get constipated!" Lei Zi's eyes firmly locked on the smoked pig's head, and the saliva flowed downwards, almost dripping onto the smoked pig's head.
Ku Junwei shook his head: "Hey, which child is this? He is so naughty. This forces us to do something! Eighteen, catch him!"
Chen Shiba responded, "Okay!", and swung his cuffs, and a red light rushed straight to Lei Zi's face.
Because the distance is too close, Lei Zi has no time to react.
The red light dissipated and turned into a big net, covering Lei Zi from head to toe.
"Damn!" Lei Zi cursed: "What do you mean? Let me go out! Let me go out!!"
This big net is not an ordinary net, but a Tianluo net. No matter how capable Leizi is, he cannot tear the Tianluo net.
"Jiujizi, are we brothers? Please help me! Help me!" Leizi beg me for help.
"We are helping you!"
I smiled at him, and He Chen Shibayi carried the Tianluo Net in front and behind, dragged Lei Zi back to the front hall.
Lei Zi shook his head and cursed: "You bastards, don't eat meat and drink alcohol when you have sex. You eat vegetarian food. Oh, no, you can eat dirt!"
Back in the front hall, we liberated Lei Zi.
There were some spare charcoal under the desk. We found some charcoal and put it in the incense burner. After igniting the charcoal, the charcoal fire burned the bottom of the incense burner red. The incense burner emitted a warm heat. We sat around the incense burner. Tonight, we would not feel the cold.
Xiong put a big handful of potatoes under the incense burner and heated them up with the hot incense burner. The potatoes emitted an attractive fragrance. Each of us got two big potatoes and they all ate them very enthusiastically.
Xiong Da handed Lei Zi a potato, Lei Zi turned his head away, looking a little arrogant: "Don't eat it!"
"If you don't eat, I'll eat it! Um!" Chen Shiba was not polite at all, and directly grabbed the potatoes, opened his bloody mouth, and was about to send them into his mouth.
Lei Zi was anxious at a glance and threw Chen Shiba to the ground like a hungry wolf: "Give me back, my potatoes!"
Chen Shiba kept protecting the potatoes: "No! You don't eat anything yourself! Why should you return it to you?"
Lei Zi reached out and pinched Chen Shiba's round face: "Give me back! I want to eat now, this is mine!"
Chen Shiba pressed Lei Zi's crotch with his knees: "You said you don't want it, it's mine now!"
Three black lines fell from Shi Zhiming's forehead and asked me implicitly: "Jiujizi, are they... like this all the time?"
Xiong laughed and said, "Young man, naughty, haha!"
I covered my face and turned silently: "I don't know them!"
After a while, the two of them got up with a bruised nose and swollen face.
Lei Zi spread his hands and said, "Where is Potato?"
Lei Zi looked at Chen Shiba, and Chen Shiba also spread his hands: "Where is potatoes? They are not here with me!"
Lei Zi pointed at Chen Shiba and said, "You said! Where did you hide the potatoes?"
Chen Shiba raised his right hand: "I swear to the sky that the potato is not on me!"
Leizi scolded: "It's all your fault! What are you robbing? Now it's time, no one can eat it!"
"Maybe it's in the incense ash stove. I seemed to see something flying in just now!" Ku Junwei pointed to the incense ash stove.
Lei Zi and Chen Shiba looked at each other, and they rushed towards the incense ash stove like hungry dogs.
At this time, Ku Junwei spread his palm leisurely, and it turned out that the potato they were fighting for had already fallen into Ku Junwei's hands.
Ku Junwei blew the dust on his face and happily stuffed the potatoes into his mouth: "The snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gains the profit!"
I gave me a thumbs up and looked at Ku Junwei with admiration: "Gao! It's really tall!!"
