The road was very desolate and almost no human habitation could be seen.
The yellow and sparse grass is scattered on the Gobi. There is no wind. Looking at the sky, the eyes are full of blue, which makes the dry grass on the ground a bit dazzling. The brown mountains in the distance look towering and strange, as if there are some monsters and evil beasts lurking there.
After walking for two days and about a hundred miles, many dilapidated ancient tombs appeared around me.
I stepped forward and took a few glances, and found that except for the junipers supporting the tomb, there were almost no burial objects.
"These tombs were built during the Tubo Kingdom. The junipers used in the construction of the tombs were given to Tubo by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, after the civil war in Tubo, these tombs were also robbed by the rebels, and all the funerary objects inside were plundered. Until now, only
These relics remain.”
After a pause, Master Wubo continued, "By the way, aren't you an archaeological team? You can do some digging here."
Xu Rui shook his head, "We were ordered to excavate the ruins of the Guge Royal Capital for protection, and we cannot change it midway."
Master Wu Bo glanced at him and said nothing more.
After these two days of contact, he felt more and more that this team did not look like an archaeological team, but they were not evil people either.
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
But people were far apart from each other, and he didn't want to ask more questions when he was away from home.
After walking for another day, a ruins built on a mountain appeared in front of everyone.
Viewed from the bottom of the mountain.
The entire royal city is built on the mountain. The highest point is the royal palace on the top of the mountain, the middle layer is the temple, and the bottom is the residences and peripheral defensive buildings.
However, except for the temple with a relatively strong structure in the middle, most of the remaining houses have collapsed, and some only have some earthen walls left, with the remains of city walls and watchtowers on the outside.
"That's it."
Master Wubo said after grabbing the yak that was sitting down.
Xu Rui examined it for a moment, then secretly activated the Seven-Star Stone Plate, and sure enough, a new address appeared.
"It seems that this old lama did not lie to me."
"Thank you, Master, for leading the way."
"You're welcome. I've collected your money and will take you to another place. But it's not peaceful here. You'd better leave before dark."
"Thank you, Master, for your warning."
After Master Wu Bo put his hands together in a salute, he turned around and left with his disciples and the yak without hesitation.
"This old monk is really not verbose at all. He took us to the place and ran away." Hua Ling said.
"Didn't you listen to what he said? There are demons in this place. As an ordinary person, of course he wouldn't dare to stay here any longer." Yu Suchang said with a smile.
"Monsters? They're probably just a few ghosts. I can take care of them without Brother Xu's help," Hua Ling said confidently, patting her bulging chest.
"Haha, it seems that our little flower spirit can also take charge of her own business." Xu Rui said with a smile.
"Damn it, Brother Xu, I'm already eighteen years old, I'm no longer a child."
Looking at her already quite impressive size, Xu Rui thought to herself: "It's indeed not small anymore."
"Let's go in and take a look."
Xu Rui was in front, and the others were behind, walking along the rugged mountain road toward the ruins of the ancient city.
There cannot be any secrets in those cave dwellings.
The royal city and the temple in the middle are the focus.
Bypassing layers of earth walls, we climbed halfway up the mountain.
Among the ruins here, the houses are basically not well preserved. If it is just dry, that's it. During the rainy season, there are heavy rains here. Year after year of weathering and erosion, the once dense soil has become brittle.
It is crushed bit by bit, and becomes a piece of dust when external force is applied.
Therefore, all the protruding parts such as broken walls and ruins have been worn away, and the city that was once full of vitality is being digested by nature silently.
Xu Rui and others looked at it, sighing at the power of nature's wind and rain erosion.
At the same time, we bypassed a ten-foot-high earth wall and came to the south.
A broken city gate came into view.
The thick door panels have disappeared, leaving only a few thick stone slabs covering the city gate.
The bright sunlight shines through the gaps between the stone slabs, illuminating the doorway, which is about two feet long.
On the earthen walls on both sides of the doorway, there are still traces left by swords and axes, which shows that this place also experienced a lot of war.
After entering, wind and sand covered the ground, and several relatively complete temples came into view.
After leaving last time, Xu Rui knew that he would return to the ghost world of Gui Chuu Deng in the future, so Xu Rui once carefully studied the description of Guge Silver Eyes in Gui Chuu Deng.
I know it is in the Temple of Reincarnation.
Of course, Xu Rui didn't know which one was the Reincarnation Temple.
Fortunately, there are only a few temples here, so you can easily find them if you look around them.
"It stinks here." Miss Hong frowned.
"It's the smell of corpses."
Partridge Whistle Road.
He has been digging graves all year round, and his familiarity with this smell has almost been engraved in his bones.
"Everyone, please be careful," Xu Rui reminded.
After everyone nodded, he continued.
"Same as last time, work in pairs and explore all these temples. I want to find a mural depicting a giant eye."
After everyone nodded, Xu Rui took Miss Hong and walked towards a temple with several red pillars supporting the door.
Passing through the decaying temple gate is the Dharma Protector Temple.
In the center of the hall, stands a six-armed statue with grinning teeth.
Although Xu Rui didn't know much about Tibetan Buddhism, he also knew that the deity of this statue was Mahakala.
Mahakala is Sanskrit, meaning "big black", that is, "lord". Mahakala is the incarnation of the three roots of Buddhism. It has two-armed, four-armed, six-armed black and other images, which are Tibetan legends.
A wise protector respected by all Buddhist sects.
The statue in front of you is the six-armed Mahakala, who in Tibetan Buddhism is the incarnation of the thousand-armed, thousand-eyed and eleven-faced Avalokitesvara.
"Bah, the monks here are definitely not good people."
The red girl said suddenly.
"Uh? Why do you say that?"
"look."
Looking in the direction of his finger, a tantric double cultivation diagram came into view.
Moreover, the colors are bright, the movements are unrestrained, and even the expressions on the faces are depicted in extremely detail, making Honggu blush.
"This is a tantric dual cultivation method, which is similar to the Taoist dual cultivation method we practice."
"Of course I know it's a double cultivator, but it's really obscene to paint it on the wall so grandly."
Xu Rui didn't say much.
After all, the Republic of China was not a modern society with an open style.
After briefly glancing at the mural describing the reincarnation of hell on the right wall, I determined that this was the reincarnation temple I was looking for.
Without waiting any longer, he led Red Girl around the statue of Mahakala and walked towards the depths of the temple.
What you see is a courtyard of about 100 square meters. The buildings on both sides have collapsed.
The main hall directly opposite is built into a sunken cliff, so it is relatively well preserved.
Climb up the steps and enter through the broken palace door.
Four large red pillars, as thick as three people's arms, support the roof of the palace.
