Chapter 54 Chapter 8: The Guge People Who May Live Immortally

"But you know these things, and you must not tell outsiders. Otherwise..." Niqiong said with a serious expression, "The turmoil in Tibetan areas will not end in a day or two." In this case, Zhuoma Yangjin told me more than once.Lao Li and I didn’t gossip and gossip, and the Tibetan area is fine, but my life is completely turbulent, I was involved in various accidents for no reason, and now I ran to the Guge ruins for no reason. When I think about it carefully, sometimes I even feel strange to myself. After Niqiong finished speaking, Xu Zhiwu and I quickly said that we would not talk nonsense.After hearing this, he showed a satisfied expression, and said, "I believe in you. Don't rush me, wait until I think about what to say."

This time, not only Xu Zhiwu became impatient, but even I couldn't hold my breath anymore. I almost suspected that Niqiong is a storyteller who specializes in whetting people's appetites. When he was full of wine and food to say the following, he said directly: "You can predict what will happen next and listen to the next chapter to break it down." Then he patted his ass and left. Although Niqiong didn't want to leave, he fell silent for a long time.Xu Zhiwu and I didn't know what he was thinking, and we didn't dare to disturb him by chatting casually.The atmosphere was strangely silent.

No one spoke, I felt my throat was itchy and couldn't help coughing twice.Niqiong probably heard my coughing, and then suddenly remembered that there were two other guests in the room, and said, "Oh... I'm really sorry, I lost my mind when I was thinking about things." Xu Zhiwu hurriedly said: "It's okay...Niqiong, tell us about the rock paintings. What is the secret? I waited for a long time, but you didn't tell me. I'm really dying of anxiety." Niqiong smiled heartily, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me slowly... You must have seen the rock painting. Indeed, it records the story of Guge's fall—no, it's not the fall, it's the story of disappearance. The reason why the Guge Dynasty disappeared overnight is in that mummy cave..." At this point, Niqiong stopped suddenly, as if he had said something he shouldn't have said, and hurriedly talked about him, "I don't know if Tajie is going to get rid of it. Did you put the mud on it?"

"It should be applied." I answered the question and asked, "Could it be that all the subjects of Guge ran into the mummy cave overnight?" "No, no. Xiao Luo, think about it. Back then, there were hundreds of thousands of Guge subjects. We went to the mummy cave. Can it hold hundreds of thousands of people?" Xu Zhiwu interjected and argued, "If If it were that simple, our archaeological community would have found the mummy cave long ago to study it thoroughly." "Then what's going on? It's impossible to escape to Mars through that mummy hole." I purposely said outrageously, so as to attract Niqiong to talk.

"Mars...haha...it's possible...haha..." Xu Zhiwu laughed mockingly. Sure enough, Niqiong couldn't stand Xu Zhiwu and I singing together, interrupted our conversation, and said: "How could it be possible to go to Mars? Who do you think the king of Guge is!" Xu Zhiwu immediately asked while the iron was hot: "Then who is he?" "A virtuous king who cares about the world and loves the people like a son. When he drinks a bowl of buttered tea, he must first think whether the people also drink it. When he wears new clothes, he will definitely ask the people whether they will not be attacked by the cold..." Niqiong’s parallels in praising King Guge are still waiting to go on, I was afraid that he would drag it too far, so I hurriedly said: "That is indeed a good emperor. But, what does this have to do with the disappearance of the Guge Dynasty?"

"Relationship?" Niqiong asked, "Relationship? What do you mean? Do you know that Guge is full of devout Buddhists?" Of course we know that Guge founded the country with Buddha, and all the serfs and serfs were devout disciples of Buddhism.However, it really doesn't seem to have anything to do with the sudden disappearance of their country overnight. It's not good to say that it doesn't matter, and it's not good to say that it has a relationship. I was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer Niqiong. Fortunately, Niqiong didn't ask any more questions, but said: "You Han people, since Qin Shihuang, don't you all want to pursue immortality? King Guge is the same. You know, he also hopes to live forever. But he is thousands of times better than Qin Shihuang. Ten thousand times. He wants his subjects to live immortality with him."

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I immediately thought of the answer, and asked Niqiong for confirmation: "Do you mean that King Guge found the secret of immortality, and then brought his subjects to live forever? And he still passed through the mummy cave?" Niqiong smiled: "It's almost like this, but of course it's not through the mummy cave. Didn't the rock painting make it clear? A king led his subjects to another place full of golden sunlight." I agree with Nijun, if that's the case, of course the passage will not be the mummy hole, anyway, it can't be reminiscent of it leading to a good place.

"No, no..." Xu Zhiwu shook his head and said, "From my point of view, many corpses in that cave seem to be used for sacrifices..." Before he could go on, Niqiong slapped his thigh and stretched out his thigh. Thumb, interrupting his words: "Zhiwu, you are really smart!" "I..." Xu Zhiwu waited for a few words of modesty, Niqiong didn't give him a chance, and then said: "It is indeed for sacrifices. When King Guge was about to take his subjects to leave this dangerous world, he Ordered to find evil prisoners as sacrifices, only when the evil is eliminated can the door of eternal life be opened."

"You mean that the people of the Guge Dynasty are already in another immortal world?" I was surprised and asked. Niqiong nodded: "Yes." He paused, and then said, "Speaking of which, I won't hide the truth from the two brothers. That's why the superior sent us to guard here. Of course—you guys Don't think about it, thinking that the higher-ups want to live forever. They are all people of great wisdom, how can they not understand the truth that people are mortal. The higher-ups just want to find the secret of eternal life and use it to control the entire chaotic and turbulent Tibetan area."

As soon as I said this, I simply didn't know how to express my surprise. It turned out that Niqiong and his thirteen households guarded the Guge ruins to help the emperor find the secret of immortality, although Niqiong repeatedly concealed that the emperor did not. this means.However, the more he explained, the more he explained that this was the case.It is impossible for ghosts to live forever, and there are six reincarnations. How can people live forever? ? It turned out that all of this was a joke, Niqiong and the others were guarding a joke, and what I sneaked out of the military hospital and followed Xu Zhiwu to Zaburang Village to find it was also a joke.

"Haha, so it is like this." I really thought it was funny, so I laughed. Seeing my gaffe, Xu Zhiwu quickly winked at me and told me to restrain myself. Niqiong said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, everyone has their own opinions." Xu Zhiwu pulled my clothes several times before I stopped laughing, "Brother Niqiong, I didn't do it on purpose, don't mind." I realized that I was a little contemptuous, so I quickly apologized to Niqiong. "Look at you, Zhiwu and Xiao Luo, you two are so far away from each other... What do I mind, you are Laba's friends, so naturally you are my friends." Niqiong said without the slightest annoyance, "I know about this You won’t believe it if you say it. It’s so old, who would believe in immortality... But, I don’t know if you’ve heard of a saying that goes, “There’s a gate to hell on Mount Jambaque, and there’s a shameless person living inside. of the devil.'” It's that sentence again, I've heard it countless times. "I've heard of it." I nodded and said, "I don't know what this has to do with the disappearance of the Guge Dynasty on the rock paintings?" "Of course it has something to do with it." Niqiong said, "There is something about the faceless devil that escaped from the world of immortality. Do you know that?" I was taken aback, did he mean the crystal black scorpion in Faceless' body? "How could this be?" Xu Zhiwu and I looked at each other and said in unison. "That's it. The faceless world is not a good thing, and it will definitely cause chaos in the reincarnation of the living Buddha." Niqiong said with a solemn expression, "Xiao Luo, you killed the faceless thing, and Laba has already told me about it. I want to ask What is in your body, that faceless devil?" "Scorpion, black scorpion." I didn't want others to bring up the incident on Mount Jambaque, so I answered him with a few words and stopped talking. Niqiong observed my words and expressions, and knew that I didn't want to mention it, so he stopped asking.Turn back to the topic of King Guge just now. "If that's the case, don't all the subjects of the Guge Dynasty have something in their bodies, so they can live forever?" he asked. "How come..." Xu Zhiwu only said half a sentence, but suddenly stopped abruptly, his expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "Xiao Luo has indeed met faceless devils, and there are more than one... That is to say... Surely there is a world of immortality? And there is still a channel between that world and our world, so the Guge Dynasty can disappear overnight through this channel? Then...then..." When it came to the last two words, Xu Zhiwu's voice was trembling with excitement, "Then if we find this passage, wouldn't we also be able to live forever?" But I don’t think so, I’ve encountered Faceless and it’s true, but it’s almost impossible for me to believe that there is really a place of immortality. "Maybe." Niqiong didn't seem so excited, and said with a little regret, "Guge people are immortal. It's a pity, it's a pity that the Guge craftsman who made the golden eyes and silver beads had a chance to live forever." "There was a chance?" Niqiong had something to say in his words again. If a person is really immortal, what kind of torture would it be if he repeatedly experienced vicissitudes of life, joys and sorrows for thousands of years?I can't stand the torture, I just wish that this life in front of me is safe and sound.As for the dream of immortality, let's leave it to those who are greedy for the world of mortals.Thinking of this, I remembered that I was very curious about the Guge craftsman who made gold eyes and silver beads, but I never had a chance to inquire about his situation. Now, from Niqiong's tone, he seemed to know something about him, so Ask Nijun, "What's the chance? A chance to follow that king to the world of immortality?"
