It was so cold that I took a deep breath and looked at Brother Donkey next to me.
Brother Lu was not much better at this time. He was trembling all over. Otherwise, he gritted his teeth and straightened his chest. He looked at me with contempt and said: "You, you are too weak. It's so cold. Forget it. Forget it."
Please."
He was so cold that he trembled when he spoke, but he still had the nerve to talk to me?
The four of us carried our bags and walked out of the airport.
There are mountains outside the airport, not in the city. Fortunately, there are many taxis parked at the entrance of the airport. The four of us quickly hailed a taxi. After getting in the car, there was heating, which made us feel much more comfortable.
"Master, let's go to Lhasa." After Hong Zhuo told the driver, he took out some snacks from his bag, all of which were very spicy. He said, "It will make you feel better if you eat something spicy."
We sat for an hour and arrived in Lhasa at almost 9:30.
Although Lhasa is the most prosperous city in Tibet, it looks like our second-tier cities and is not as prosperous as Chongqing and Chengdu.
And there was no one on the street at this time.
After I got off the bus and paid, I felt a little breathless and my head was a little confused.
The same goes for Dakui and Brother Lu. Hong Zhuo took us to a hotel and got a room. Then he bought some medicine for altitude sickness at the front desk of the hotel for us to take, which made us feel better.
The hotel room is large. Although the decoration is not luxurious, it is clean and tidy.
I took a hot shower and walked out. I rubbed my arms and asked Hong Zhuo, "Why is it so cold in Tibet?"
Hong Zhuo opened a double room, but the four of us stayed together, not to save money, but because it would be warmer if we slept together.
"Let's go shopping in Tibet for two days first. Don't rush to find the thousand-year-old snow lotus. We have to wait until you get used to the altitude sickness. Otherwise, you will be out of breath even if you take even two steps." Hong Zhuo held his cell phone and didn't know what it was about.
"Go to bed early." I felt that the altitude sickness was like a cold, so I fell asleep while lying on the bed.
We all woke up very early the next day, mainly because I felt that sleeping in Tibet was completely different from Chongqing. My breathing was not smooth and it was very uncomfortable to sleep.
"I will go out to check on the pagodas later. We are definitely not allowed to go to the famous pagodas. We can only go to more remote places." Hongzhuo said, "You can just wander around in Lhasa. Be careful not to cause trouble.
.
After saying that, Hong Zhuo walked out of the hotel with his backpack.
I didn’t know what was interesting in Lhasa, so I, Brother Lu, and Dakui got dressed and walked out.
This time Brother Lu learned his lesson and borrowed a cotton-padded jacket from Da Kui. Da Kui didn't care, he said he would go out and buy one later.
The three of us carried our bags and walked out. It was eight o'clock in the morning and the weather outside was very strange.
How to describe it, it feels very cold due to the wind, but the sunshine from the sky is very scorching. This is not the stuffy heat like in Chongqing, but the feeling of the sun's ultraviolet rays shining directly on people.
"Damn it, it's so hot." Brother Donkey started to curse as soon as he went out: "What the hell is the weather like in Tibet? It's so cold one moment and so hot in the next moment."
I squinted my eyes and looked at the sky, the blue sky with occasional white clouds floating above.
Looking at the sky, I thought of the blue sky and white clouds. I thought of the weather in Chongqing. For more than 300 days a year, we basically never see such good weather. The sky is completely white and the pollution is serious.
We walked around all morning, bought a cotton-padded jacket, and had breakfast. Only then did I understand why the prices here were so expensive. We couldn't find anything delicious for lunch, so we went to eat some rice noodles. They were terrible.
The bowl cost us more than 20 yuan.
Fuck, this is still a street stall, not a high-end restaurant, this is too dark.
"I've been wandering around all morning and haven't found anything interesting." Brother Lu rubbed his belly dissatisfiedly and said, "It's okay to have this altitude sickness that makes me feel uncomfortable all over. It costs more than 70 yuan to eat rice noodles. This place is not good.
Can you play now?"
While we were chatting, we suddenly saw a square not far away, and there were many monks in the square worshiping there.
"Let's go and have a look."
The three of us ran over and took a look, and it turned out that this was the Jokhang Temple.
In the middle of the square in front of the Jokhang Temple is an incense burner filled with incense, and around the incense burner there are hundreds of monks worshiping in the direction of the Jokhang Temple.
"This is the Jokhang Temple?" I looked at the Jokhang Temple. The Jokhang Temple is very big and gives people a magnificent feeling. There are many people queuing at the door who want to buy tickets to visit.
"Are these guys crazy? Look at that guy, there are holes in his clothes, and he's still worshiping his hair." Brother Donkey looked at the monks and said with a smile.
Dakui nodded in agreement, as if he agreed with Brother Lu's statement.
I have some different feelings. To be honest, I wasn’t really interested in Buddhism before. It’s not like I’ve never been to temples. I’ve been to various temples in Chengdu, but I always felt that the monks there were not worthy of being monks. Even
Not even worthy of a monk.
Why do I like to call those bald men not monks? Nowadays, most people may think that monk is a contemptuous term for monks, which is somewhat teasing. In fact, monk comes from the Sanskrit word, which means "teacher". Monk
It is originally an honorific title. Only those with certain qualifications as teachers can be called monks.
But what are the monks like now? Do you want to be a monk? You don’t need a heart to worship the Buddha. You only need a university diploma. Learn from Jigong Living Buddha one by one. You can play with wine and meat through the intestines, but the Buddha has retained it in his heart. In the end, the wine and meat are passed through the intestines.
He has even violated the precepts of obscenity, but few monks can keep the Buddha in their hearts.
The word monk has another meaning. The left side of monk is next to the word "personal", and the right side is the word "Zeng". In Buddhism, the meaning is that once was a human being, now a monk, no longer in the world of mortals.
Compared to monks and monks, I prefer these monks who are worshiping the Jokhang Temple in front of me. These monks are dressed in dirty clothes, and occasionally tourists passing by will give some change.
These monks would also express their gratitude with Buddhist rituals.
"Let's go." I looked at these monks with a smile on my lips.
"Don't you want to go in for a walk?" Brother Lu turned to look at me and asked.
"There's not much to see. Although we, Mr. Yin Yang, have become monks on the way, we have always relied on Taoism." After I finished speaking, I clasped my hands toward the Jokhang Temple and bowed ninety degrees in a Buddhist salute.
I thought to myself: Lord Buddha, I hope that my wife Zhao Shanyu will be safe and sound this time.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the three of us returned to the hotel, and Hong Zhuo had already returned to the hotel, holding a map in his hand and studying it.
