Chen Xuanyi frowned and said, "No matter what, we can't let the bodies of so many brothers from the Maoshan Sect be exposed in the wilderness. We don't need to go deeper to investigate. We can directly cremate their bodies. It doesn't violate the friendship between the Taoists."
Seeing what he said, Feng Li had no choice but to agree and helped us reach the bottom of the cliff together.
I walked to the jeep, squatted down, and found a total of four corpses. All of them were wearing blue Taoist robes. At first glance, they were serious monks who had received Taoist registration.
The car had been squeezed and deformed due to falling from a high altitude, causing the corpses inside to be twisted and disfigured. However, upon closer inspection, some man-made wounds could still be found, which clearly indicated that they had been broken by heavy force.
He died due to his meridians, and then he was stuffed into the car to fake the car accident.
The more I look at it, the more I feel sad. The Maoshan Sect has a great reputation and has stood for thousands of years. It is an existence with absolute importance in the Central Plains Taoist sect. Who dares to attack them because of the courage of a bear and a leopard?
Chen Xuanyi also had a solemn look on his face. He put his hand into the broken car window and kept searching for something.
After working for a long time, he took out a black jade plaque from the body of a middle-aged Taoist priest. The jade plaque was edged with gold. It looked like it had a good history. Chen Xuan put it in front of his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and then
He lowered his brows and said, "This piece of jade seems to be some kind of token."
I nodded and said, "Yes, look at the carving marks on the jade. It is clearly engraved with the unique pattern of Maoshan Sect, and it is completely different from ordinary waist badges. I don't know what the purpose of this thing is."
Feng Li urged us from the side, saying, you two, stop looking, just burn it down and the problem will be solved. The Maoshan Sect is full of talents. If something happens to the disciples of the sect, they may not come to investigate. Let’s stay for one more minute and we’ll be done.
There is an additional risk of being targeted, so it’s better to set it on fire and get rid of it.
Although Chen Xuanyi couldn't bear it, he finally nodded and let out a long sigh. It doesn't matter what happens in the world. It's always you who kill me and I kill you. There's no need to go into detail about this. We can just contribute a little.
After saying that, he raised his hands, made a bow, and silently recited the mantra of death. Feng Li found gasoline, poured it on the car, and snapped his fingers, and tongues of flames immediately sprayed out, covering the car with the car.
The corpses of several Taoist priests inside were burned to death.
That being done, we climbed onto the road again. During this period, I found that Chen Xuanyi was still kicking the jade pendant in his arms, so I asked, "Why are you holding something? It's so unlucky to be a relic of a dead person!"
Chen Xuanyi smiled bitterly and said, "This thing is of good quality. It must be some kind of valuable item. I will keep it until I have the opportunity in the future to present it to the Maoshan Sect and return it to them."
Feng Li made a sound, shook his head and said, "You are a little Taoist priest. It's really unnecessary. It's so unlucky to carry this bloody thing with you. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble for it?"
Chen Xuanyi said seriously, "I always feel that this thing may be of great use in the future. Accepting it may be God's will."
Feng Li and I both expressed our helplessness. We have never seen such superstitious people - well, Taoism is a "superstitious" religion to begin with.
We continued to walk along the main road, passing through several small towns to replenish supplies. We were struggling to find a place to stay, and were discussing whether to continue on the road overnight. A figure accidentally flashed by the roadside, but Chen Xuanyi uttered a
He said softly, "Hey, isn't that A Jiang?"
"who?"
Feng Li and I didn't understand what he meant, so we both stopped and looked back at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan pointed to a young monk in red clothes with a sallow face and skinny muscles on the side of the road, and whispered, "That's Ajiang, he is a disciple of Master Tongshan. Two years ago, Master Tongshan represented the Tibetan Buddhist Association and negotiated with all the great avenues in the Central Plains.
At that time, I was also fortunate enough to participate in the academic exchange with Master, and I met the young lama monk during the dinner!"
I was overjoyed and said, "Well, why don't you go up and get to know each other quickly?"
Chen Xuanyi had a strange look on his face. He pointed at the side of the man's face and said, "Strange, how could he be like this? He looks so embarrassed!"
I answered the call and went to take a look again, and found that, sure enough, the little lama in red had a face covered in dirt, and he was limping when he walked. His feet were bare, and there were faint blood stains on them.
.
Feng Li whispered, "Did something happen?"
"I don't know, let's go and have a look!"
Chen Xuanyi was full of suspicion, quickened his pace, and walked towards the little lama who was begging. When the distance was close, he called out from behind, "Ajiang, why are you here?"
Unexpectedly, the little lama was shocked and did not look back at all. After hearing these words, he ran away and disappeared in the crowd.
"What...what's going on?"
Chen Xuan was confused and looked back at us. We were even more confused than him.
You must know that Tibet is a holy land of Buddhism, but any monk wearing lama attire must be respected by the locals. Although Lama Ajiang is young, he wears serious yellow sect robes. Logically speaking, he should not behave in such a sneaky way.
I felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked Chen Xuanyi if he wanted to pursue him?
Chen Xuanyi said suspiciously, "Everyone has run away, where can I catch them?"
Feng Li stood up directly and said, "It doesn't matter, just leave it to me!"
As he said that, he immediately spread out his body skills, quickly shuttled among the passing figures, and followed them in the blink of an eye.
Chen Xuan and I were stunned for a while, then we both nodded and chose to follow.
Ten minutes later, we arrived near a small mud temple outside the town. We heard Feng Li's greeting and rushed into the temple. As expected, we found the little lama hiding inside, trembling and confronting Feng Li.
I was far away just now, so I didn't see the young lama's face clearly. But now that I'm closer, I caught a pretty face from the shadow of the ruined temple.
Lama Ajiang is young, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He is wearing a dark red waistcoat draped diagonally on his shoulders, his iconic bell-bottom pants, no shoes on his feet, and the calluses on his feet are quite thick.
——Here we have to talk about the habits of Tibetan monks. The monks here pay attention to austerity and are not greedy for enjoyment. Therefore, most monks advocate asceticism. They believe that they should use their feet to get close to nature and measure every inch of Tibetan land.
, will help one's own practice, so almost all Tibetan lamas are ascetic monks.
At this time, the little lama sat down under the altar, staring at us nervously, looking trembling.
Chen Xuanyi took a step forward and said, "A Jiang, don't you remember me? I am Chen Xuanyi. We met two years ago at a religious seminar. Your master, Master Tongshan, and my master, Canghai
The real person is a family friend."
After hearing this, the little lama seemed to react. A pair of black eyes glanced back and forth at Chen Xuanyi. After a while, he jumped up and said with a shocked face, "Brother Chen Xuanyi, it's really...
you?"
"It's me, why are you like this?" Seeing that the other party recognized him, Chen Xuanyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly stepped forward, held the hands of the little lama Ajiang, and asked with concern.
After hearing this, the young lama's eyes suddenly turned red and he burst into tears. He fell down in front of Chen Xuanyi and said with despair on his face, "Brother, I won't hide it from you. My master is gone... He
Dead!"
What?
After hearing this, the three of us frowned. Chen Xuanyi was even more impatient. He grabbed the little lama Ajiang's hand and said, "What's going on, tell me quickly!"
