Chapter 114 Chapter 2 Rinchen Beng Temple

Most of Lin Yue's hands were yellowed photos, and it could be seen that they were old, and the top one was a photo of a temple.This temple is illuminated from a distance. The temple is very Tibetan-style. There is a faint golden Buddha in the temple, surrounded by green mountains and green trees.The front buildings of the temple are inlaid with a lot of gold, which looks extremely solemn. If I hadn't seen this temple before, I might not know this temple either.Not long ago, CCTV introduced this temple, and I happened to have seen its introduction, and it is called Rinchenbeng Temple.Although I know this temple, the temple in the photo is still somewhat different from the introduction on TV. It seems to be very old, but the introduction on TV is obviously very new and brilliant.Could it be that the temple in the photo is not Rinchenbeng Temple, but the scenery in the photo, especially an old bridge under the temple, is clearly the same.

In fact, a temple is not worthy of my surprise. What is surprising is the place where it is located - Medog.Medog County is the only place in the country without roads. It is in the southeast of Tibet, on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River.A place that is still inaccessible to roads in the 21st century, and the mountains are closed for almost half of the year, can be said to be isolated from the world and become a paradise.However, I heard that Medog has already opened a road, but it is only divided into seasons. The road was repaired by the First Institute of China Communications. It can be seen that it is indeed difficult to repair.But it's not impossible to repair. There are several places where bridges and tunnels need to be combined, and earthquakes must be considered, but the level 4 standard can be repaired.

Although Medog has beautiful and unique scenery because of its isolation from the world, its natural conditions are very harsh. To enter, you must not only choose the right time, but also have a strong will and good luck.If Lin Yue's goal is to go to Motuo, and I want to go with her again, I will suffer.When I get there, I don’t know if I can walk into Medog or not. Maybe it’s just a waste of money. Lin Yue’s photo may have been taken decades ago, because the Rinqinbeng Temple in the photo is not exactly the same as the introduction on TV. , but the surrounding environment is the same. I don't know much about Medog. I only know that it is very difficult to enter Medog. I hesitated for a while, but I was worried that Lin Yue would find me when I turned around, so I still went to the train.The train to Tibet departed soon. There were not many people on the train, and many seats were empty. Lin Yue and I had hard seats. In order to prevent her from finding me, I chose a very inconspicuous one. position, and covered himself with a newspaper.

On the way of the train, I wanted to find some information about Medog in the newspapers and travel guides on the train, but there were very few of them, all of which were mentioned in one stroke.I didn't bring many things this time, only a change of clothes and pants. Tibet is the roof of the world. I don't know if I will have altitude sickness.I've never been there, and I don't know if I have altitude sickness, but I'm afraid that the weather is too cold and my clothes are not enough to keep out the cold. I pretended to read the newspaper, but secretly observed Lin Yue. She didn't communicate with others along the way, but kept looking at the photos in her hand, and deliberately chose a location away from the crowd.I feel a little strange seeing Lin Yue behave like this.Logically speaking, if Lin Yue wanted to go to Tibet to find something, shouldn't she be very familiar with the route? Why did she just look at the photos?There is another thing I don't understand, that is, since the photos are so old, it means that someone has already checked their organization, but why haven't they done it yet? Is there any difficulty?Thinking of this, I felt a little regretful. I felt that I was very impulsive, and I got on the car as soon as I got on it. The future of keeping up like this is uncertain.

The train went all the way, and only stopped once in the middle. I don't think I have a chance to abscond, because I fell asleep every time I stopped.I don't know how long it took, but the train finally entered the Tibet area. I began to feel very cold and I couldn't breathe.I asked the conductor for a cup of hot water, drank a few sips and fell asleep leaning on the seat.In the dream, I saw the bird again, and my parents walked back and forth in front, but they just ignored me.After a while, I was submerged in the flood, and the cold water poured into my mouth and nose, and I was about to suffocate.After suddenly waking up from the dream, I realized that the sky outside the window was already dark, and the cold wind was blowing in from the window. I was so forgetful that I actually forgot to close the window!The instinctive reaction made me want to pull down the window immediately so that the wind would be blocked outside, but I found that I didn't even have the strength to raise my hand.

At this time, a train attendant happened to come over. He saw my reaction, and he knew immediately that I had a high fever and altitude sickness due to his experience.The conductor kindly helped me close the window, but his action made Lin Yue see me coming.I thought to myself, don't let Lin Yue find out at this time, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted and all the sufferings will be for nothing.On the train bound for Tibet, the conductors are carefully selected, and more than 90% are men.Their quality is the most praiseworthy in the national trains, so when I found Lin Yue looking towards this side, I asked the conductor in a low voice to lower his head and pretend to whisper to me, which happened to block Lin Yue's sight.

The conductor just smiled, and after a while Lin Yue stopped looking this way, I asked the conductor to take me to their studio to rest and get an IV.The drips and medicines are free on the train. After entering their studio, a female train conductor immediately came over to help me lie on a narrow bed and gave me a bottle of drips.During the period, the female train conductor was afraid that I would faint from the needle, and worried that I would be afraid of pain, so she deliberately asked questions, but the questions did not involve privacy, and they were all travel topics. The female conductor asked me if I went to Tibet for fun, and I said yes.Then, she said, since she was going to Tibet, she should bring more clothes and medicines, and criticized me for being careless.I listened to her criticism, but my heart was sweet, and I really wished she could criticize a few more times.I thought this was a good opportunity, so I took the opportunity to ask the train conductor, they should be most familiar with things in Tibet as they go back and forth between Tibet and the provincial capital.Thinking of this, I asked, if I go to Medog, what should I pay attention to.The female conductor was surprised at what I said, and she stared at me like I shouldn't be there.

"Are you going to Medog? Where are you going and what are you going to do? From your appearance, it seems..." the female conductor said with her eyes wide open. "What's the matter, shouldn't I go?" I asked feebly. "It's not that we should go, but do you know how to prepare for going there?" the male conductor reminded kindly. "The terrain there is steep, and you have to bring a lot of climbing equipment, sleeping bags, etc., if you walk into Medog on foot. Besides, it's mid-October now, although it's June, July, August, September, and October. You can drive directly into Medog off and on for months, but now it’s mid-October, and it’s almost November. Maybe you won’t be able to get out after entering Medog, and you have to wait until next year to get out from Medog.” Female conductor Then explained.

"Ah?" I was speechless, the difficulties are nothing, I have never seen any difficulties now, I am afraid that if I go in and get trapped in Medog, it will be bad.Xinhong didn't even know that I had diverted to Medog. Before the trip, I only said that I had gone to Sichuan. Now my mobile phone is broken and I can't contact him.If he doesn't see me when he comes back from Inner Mongolia, he must think I'm missing.But this time I must go, the big deal is to come out immediately after entering, and it should be fine to come out before November. "You are so weak now, how did you climb to Medog?" the female conductor frowned and said.

"It doesn't matter. I'll be fine after I get to the station and rest. I'm in good health." I forced a smile. When the female conductor said this, she handed me the oxygen inhalation tube, and asked me to replenish the oxygen.However, I remembered the photo in Lin Yue's hand, why the Rinchen Beng Temple was different from the introduction on TV, so I wanted to ask the conductor.The conductor first explained that Renqinbeng Temple is also called the Holy Land of Lotus, because Motuo means "hidden lotus" in Tibetan.Renqinbeng Temple is located on Zhuomala Mountain, Medog Town, about 6 kilometers southeast of Medog County. It is the earliest and largest temple built in Medog County, and belongs to the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism.There are gold-plated bronze Buddhas and precious cultural relics in the temple, and it is an important place for local Monba and Lhoba people to carry out religious activities.From time to time, you can see wandering deer and antelopes around Rinchenbeng Monastery, a beautiful picture of harmony between man and nature.

I didn't understand what the female conductor had said for so long, so I asked her if there were two Rinchen Beng Temples.After hearing this, she said that there were not two Rinchenbeng Monasteries, but that the Rinchenbeng Monastery was destroyed by an earthquake in 1950 and was rebuilt in 1983.In this way, the photos in Lin Yue's hands are from before 1950, while the videos on TV are recent ones.Since Lin Yue's organization had scouted Medog before 1950, why did they continue to go now? Could it be that she hasn't got what she wants, and why did they delay until today?
