Chapter 40 Chapter 5 Lake Festival, Entering the Water

Seeing such a ferocious monster appear, Basang was already crying, but under the discussion of others, he managed to restrain his emotions and prepare to accept this reality.However, the words of Miscellaneous Xiaodao gave him hope again, he hurriedly knelt up, hugged Miscellaneous Xiaodao's thigh, and said, what you said, is it true? Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao didn't speak, but turned to look at the old lama with long eyebrows. The old lama with a wrinkled and distressed face stepped forward and said, yes, there are two life wheels in the body of that Stegosaurus. The person who swallowed it was still pregnant with this sword-backed crocodile.

The old lama came forward to salute the two of us, stared at us, and said, unexpectedly, the two are not only fellow practitioners in practicing the true meaning, but also top-notch masters.But how did you know for sure that his son was in there? Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao shrugged, saying that he saw the imprint of a human head in the belly of the beast. I was a little surprised, and said, this living person entered the belly of that big crocodile. During the process of entering, he would inevitably be bitten a few times, and would be corroded and melted by gastric juice in the stomach bag. The second boy of the Basang family died yesterday. Missing, for such a long time, how can people survive?Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao shook his head and said he didn't know, he could only feel the breath in the belly, but why, he had never seen such a weird crocodile, and he didn't know its habits.It wouldn't be a ferocious beast from ancient times, could it?

The two of us discussed, and the old lama came forward and explained to us that the name of this giant crocodile recorded in the Buddhist scriptures is called Garuda, and it is the food of Garuda, the eight dragons, and it is also called the sword-backed crocodile. The dragon is as cunning as a fox.It was originally a vicious beast guarding the deep water eyes of great rivers and lakes. It is a relic of ancient times and also belongs to the dragon species. When it was born, it was only the size of a little finger, and it grew by one meter every fifty years. This one should last for two hundred and fifty years. to a lifespan of three hundred years.

This kind of fierce beast has a habit, that is, it never eats dead things, only eats bloody and screaming creatures.If there are too many preys to eat all at once, they will also swallow them into the abdominal cavity of the body for warming and storage. When they are hungry, they will regurgitate them and kill them alive.So, it's possible that the kid isn't dead yet. I sighed and said, I really learned a lot. There are such strange species in the world. Na Lao raised his eyebrows, but said: "This fierce beast is not a native of our plateau, it is just a lost guest." Hearing what he said, I knew he wanted to mention the legend of Tianhu.All the water veins in the world are transparent. This is something that is often mentioned in the theory of Feng Shui, and I can understand it.When I was studying "Nature" when I was a child, it was mentioned in the book that water vapor rises into the sky and then circulates around the world, so it flows.However, geologically speaking, this is obviously impossible.But I can't argue with him either.

The little lama stroked his palm on the top of Basang's head, looking sacred and solemn, then looked at the lake in the distance, and said calmly: "It didn't go far, it was in the water, spying on us." Nanka Gyatso stepped forward and asked, what should we do now? Pointing to the Tibetans behind him, he said, do you want to sacrifice to the lake god, ask for its forgiveness, and release poor Mochi? Since the word "dragon" is attached to the name of this sword-backed crocodile, it is naturally a very spiritual thing, in other words, it is cunning.It's on the shore, we can't do anything to it, let alone in the water?Hearing Namka Gyatso's proposal, the young lama thought for a while, then looked at the old lama. The old lama glanced at it, and then said in a deep voice, okay, let's pay homage to the lake god first.

I found a very strange thing, that is, I thought the old lama and the young lama had a master-student relationship, but now it seems that the old lama respects the young lama very much, and when they are together, they respect the young lama faintly . After being affirmed by the master, people put the sacrifices they had carried on their backs on the grass by the lake, and then began to chant sutras and pray.Standing next to Zamao Xiaodao and holding swords, looking at these pious believers, I felt a little incredible.You know, in my hometown, if I saw such a monster, it would have dispersed in a crowd, just like on Luo Deafzi’s grave, where there is no one in every minute, how can I pray devoutly on the ground as I am now? ?

I think it is probably because they believe that the gods and Buddhas they believe in will not abandon them, so they are so stable, right?Belief in this thing, some people can gain peace and courage from it, but others seek money and status through it, how do you think about it?It's up to you. Sacrificial offerings, chanting, guiding ceremonies, two lamas led these Tibetans, and began the solemn worship of the lake god. This is an indescribable feeling. Everyone immerses their minds in it, and then those meager thoughts are projected onto the lama in a strange way, and then the lama uses the hidden secret six-character mantra "Om "Padme Hum", stirs into the air, sprinkles thoughts between heaven and earth, and communicates with all things.

This kind of method is amazing, no wonder the senior brother repeatedly suggested that we must go to the Tibetan area. It turns out that the method of the master here is so magical, and it can make people think and understand. From it, we can get own harvest. This kind of sacrifice lasted for about half an hour. Zamao Xiaodao and I did not participate in it, but just watched from a distance while guarding the lake.The so-called skillful people are bold, although the giant crocodile is terrifying, we don't have much fear, and the headache is only how to capture it and rescue the second son of the Basang family.It’s not our business here, but as the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. My grandmother once said to me that we should accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Although we haven’t met that Tibetan boy several times, since If it hits, naturally we still have to take care of it.

After it was over, the old lama told Pasang that if he wanted to save his son, he might need a blood sacrifice. What is a blood sacrifice?It is to drive a large animal with a living soul to the lake, then communicate with the lake god, and replace it with his son.Basang readily agreed, and asked if he needed sheep or yaks?The old lama told him, to be on the safe side, let’s use a yak, it may not succeed, you have to try first. Basang gritted his teeth and said yes, he would go back and come over at noon. The old lama drove away the Tibetans around, and since the lake god had worshiped, let them go back together.In Tibet, what the lama said was very authoritative, so everyone came up to say goodbye and prepare to return.Nanka Gyatso asked us to go back together, I shook my head and said no, we are still needed here.Ever since we fought the terrifying Stegosaurus crocodile with two red lamas just now, the people around looked at us with more respect, and Nanka Gyatso did the same, so he waved goodbye to us without insisting.

Everyone left, their backs became smaller and smaller, and the lakeside returned to calm. I looked at the lake, which was like a blue mirror, and remained silent.Who would have thought that an unheard of monster would suddenly pop out of such a beautiful depth of the lake an hour ago? The old lama walked up to us, pointed to the pile of fish bones in the grass in the distance, and said, are you eating this fish? I touched my nose and said, why do I see it? The old lama smiled, his wrinkled old face turned into a brilliant chrysanthemum, and said, all the people here do not eat fish, because we believe that this fish is the clone of the lake god.Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao is also a bachelor, nodded and said, we ate it, but don't say that the big crocodile was attracted because we ate fish.

The old lama shook his head and said, no, this sword-backed crocodile just came here not long ago, so it has nothing to do with you.But I have a question, just now the sword-backed crocodile was wet all over, and we all touched some lake water, why - he pointed at me - didn't even have a little water on your body? I couldn't feel the old lama's hostility, so I smiled and said, what do you think? With awe in his eyes, the old lama said, I feel the power of creatures in rivers, lakes and seas from you.Young man, your identity is a mystery. I can feel that there are many kinds of powers gathered in you, and several lifetimes overlap, making it hard for people to see through.However, I can also feel the kindness you expressed.I think, you may have a solution to the current predicament, right? I laughed and said, yes, as you can see, I can enter the water as if walking on the ground, but this Stegosaurus is too powerful, if I am not absolutely sure, I dare not enter the water easily. "really?" The old lama was overjoyed and looked back at the young lama. The young lama nodded, then took my words and said: "Actually, we have a way to subdue that fierce beast, but the situation was too urgent at that time, and we were in front of everyone." Ordinary religious people are not easy to use. If you can take me down, then leave the rest of the matter to me." I glanced at this handsome young lama, his eyes showed confidence, so I nodded and said, in that case, let's go into the water. The lake was not big that day, after we discussed it, we walked slowly towards the water. Because the range of scuba formed by Tianwuzhu is not large, Zamao Xiaodao and the old lama watched from the bank.I clasped the Tianwu Pearl in my left hand, and held the ghost sword in my right hand. The little lama followed me closely with the Vajra Subduing Demon Pestle, watching curiously as the lake water around me was repelled, forming a two-meter-square blister. After walking for more than four meters, the water has already overflowed our heads, the surrounding scenery is dark, the clear water is faint, and there are piles of soil, sand, stones, and aquatic plants under our feet.After walking for a few minutes, we reached the middle of the lake.It was quiet and silent below.Suddenly, a black shadow rode the wind and waves, cruising from the front.
