Chapter 105 Section 6

They stayed together until ten o'clock in the morning, and the shops were supposed to be open. Mesa put on Prince Chambord's coat and a men's corduroy single-brimmed hat again, and left in a hurry.It was past noon when she came back, and a sturdy woven bag bent her waist.Prince Chambord took out an automatic inflator, six car inner tubes, seven stainless steel folding clothes rails, a coil of nylon packaging rope, twenty woven bags, and a grocery bag containing bread and sausage and mineral water. Prince Chambord looked at it and said happily, "It's all right, but the clothes rail is thinner than the ones I've seen in Beijing."

The two of them had a full meal first, and then started to build the boat: first, they used air cylinders to inflate six car inner tubes, then tied three car inner tubes in a row to form a plane, and reinforced five stainless steel clothes-drying poles three horizontally and two vertically. On the inner tube of the car, two layers of non-absorbent woven bags were wrapped around the inner tube to prevent it from being scratched by rocks.There are still two clothes poles left, which are the poles of Prince Chambord and Mesa, which are used to get rid of the danger of being stranded on the rocks and to grasp the direction.

The boat leaving Lhasa was built in this way.Mesa looked at his watch, it was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon. Prince Chambord said: "How is it, our Bodhidharma? It's ready to go." Mesa seemed to realize that it was not a joke: "Are you really going to walk on the water?" Prince Chambord raised his head and said boldly: "The holy city of Lhasa, wish us all the best." They carried the Bodhidharma into the Lhasa River. Mesa said worriedly: "I can swim a little bit, how about you?" "You can swim? Not many Tibetans can swim."

"If only Chimi was here, he swims ten times better than me." "We don't need to swim, we will always be on the boat." Prince Chambord said, licked the golden key of the parrot head as a talisman, and took the thangkas of the Lord and Mother of the Corpse from the Cemetery of the Martyrs tied to the body. Prince Chambord sat on it, and the Bodhidharma tilted slightly.Mesa knew that it was impossible to retreat, so he gritted his teeth and lay down on it.Prince Chambord decisively supported the river bank with a pole, and with a hard push, the Bodhidharma was pushed into the river waves.The waves of the river came over, like a hand pushing and pulling, and the Dharma swayed, realizing that it was a boat, and gliding towards the temptation of the waves.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind the dam willow on the bank: "Are you dying? Come back, come back." Prince Chambord looked back and said in amazement: "Chimei and his girl? Why are they here?" Mesa said: "It was you who told him. You said that the revelation of the 'Light Transmitting Text' is that the terma of the 'Gate of the Seven Tara' is in the Dragon Palace, and Zhimei has to jump into the Lhasa River to find it." Prince Chambord said: "Did I say so?" Mesa said: "Absolutely, you will say it as soon as you leave the martyr's cemetery."

Prince Chambord remembered: "Yes, that's what I said. Did I mean him? Did I mean me? I predicted my fate with the Lhasa River at that time, God's will, God's will." We have reached the broad water zone.Prince Chambord paddled the water with a pole and found that the thickness of the Lhasa River can only be felt in the water. You can't see the bottom, but you can feel the depth that submerged the Jiuzhang Dragon Palace is slowly moving below.Prince Chambord pulled Mesa to sit up.Mesa's face was sallow, staring at the water in shock, unable to speak. Prince Chambord said: "It's okay, it's okay, we came to the Lhasa River following the trail of the 'Gate of the Seven Tara', and the river god will protect us." , and flung it fiercely into the deep wave valley.Prince Chambord and Mesa screamed at the same time.

On the river bank, Zhimei and Solang Banzong were running with the Bodhidharma. Zhimei stopped suddenly, and said angrily: "If he wants to die, he can die, and he has to take Mesa with him. I don't know how Mesa likes a person who wants her to die." Then she took out her mobile phone and called Wu Jianlingba , "Come on, Prince Chambord is committing a suicide escape. The opening of the 'Seven Tara Gate' will really be interrupted this time." The two plainclothes monitors Zhimei and Suolang Banzong immediately realized what was going on. While following them, they looked towards the center of the river, and were dumbfounded when they saw it: a fugitive appeared, a veritable desperado, who could think of such a way Come.When there was no bridge in Lhasa, there were cowhide rafts, which were used for ferrying. The tools and actions for going down the river have never been seen since ancient times.The Lhasa River is not a waterway, and the dense reefs will crush all drifting objects like breaking waves.

Soon, many policemen in plainclothes and non-plainclothes came to the Lhasa River.Vice Captain Bixiu of the Serious Case Investigation Squad held a microphone and shouted to Hexin: "Go ashore quickly, go ashore quickly, you are committing suicide, I advise you not to commit suicide." It is impossible, the only way out for the fugitive is to hit the rock and die.He felt that his duty had been fulfilled, put away the microphone, and ordered his subordinates: "Follow up, wherever you drift, follow wherever you go, wait for the body to be collected." Lama Aruo reminded: "Can you still see the corpse? In a few hours, it will rush to the Yarlung Zangbo River."

Bixiu turned her head to take a look, and said angrily, "You are very well informed, who notified you?" Lama Aruo said inscrutablely: "The river god of the Lhasa River told us to come and save people." Bixiu said: "Then go and rescue them. What are you doing standing here? You say Om Mani Padme Hum, and the Lhasa River will be wiped out." Lama Aruo said: "The police are the guardians of the Buddha. If you are here, what can we do?" Wu Jianlingpa intervened and said: "When saving people, rely on the police or the Living Buddha. The police say, rely on the Living Buddha, and the Living Buddha says, rely on the police. In fact, the police are the Living Buddha, and the Living Buddha is the police. You two are the same. To save the suffering, no one can make trouble, right?"

Bixiu realized that it was for him, hummed, and left. Lama Aruo stepped aside and called Wang Yan: "You will not see Prince Shambord anymore. If you see him again, he will be a ghost. He will be reincarnated. Only after reincarnation can we continue to discover the treasures of the 'Gate of Seven Tara'. We We have been in touch with each other since Beijing, and we will return to Beijing tomorrow, so I would like to say hello to you." Then he told about Prince Chambord drifting and fleeing on the Lhasa River. Wang Yan was silent, and suddenly shouted: "Where is it? We will be there soon."

At this moment, Wujian Lingpa came over, grabbed Lama Aruo and said, "I suddenly remembered that there might be a place where they can be rescued. Come on, let's go." They turned and left.Aruo Lama came back suddenly and told Bixiu the same thing. On the turbulent river, the bumps of the Bodhidharma became more and more dangerous. Several times, it kept falling and falling, and it seemed to be over, and miraculously turned up again.Prince Chambord and Mesa were drenched, coughing and choking, and instinctively leaned against the Dharma, hugging the inner tube of the car tightly. Prince Chambord said, "Hold on, hold on." As if to provoke him, Elang stood up and slapped him on the face.He felt dizzy, and darkness enveloped him suddenly.Fortunately, he didn't let go, he flew up in the darkness, and when he landed suddenly, the water flow seemed to be calmer. He yelled, "Mesa, Mesa." Mesa was next to him, feeling worse than he, slurring, "I'm dead." Fortunately, the river channel suddenly widened, as if a hand suddenly tore the canyon wide, and the water flow spread away, and it became much calmer.Panting and spitting water, the two looked at each other and also at the Bodhidharma below them.The Bodhidharma has never turned over, which seems to be the biggest encouragement.Prince Chambord let out a long sigh of relief, and rubbed his forehead against the hull of the ship, as if worshiping: Bless you, all the gods in Tibet are here to bless you. "The sun is going to set," Mesa said in horror. Prince Chambord looked up and found that the city of Lhasa was far away. If he walked by land, he must have passed the police cordon.He smiled and said, "We have succeeded. We have left Lhasa safely by taking the Lhasa River, which is not a waterway, as a waterway. What we need to do now is..." Before he could finish speaking, there was only a chirp, and the Bodhidharma rose into the air, stopped in the air for a while, and was thrown into the water again by the huge waves.Mesa tilted her body, submerged in the water, and suddenly came up again, and Prince Chambord grabbed her. "Hold on tight, hold on tight." He shouted, and when he looked at the Bodhidharma again, the two inner tubes had been scratched and deflated, and all the clothes-drying poles as the skeleton were severely deformed, and only then did he realize that a reef had appeared.He sat up, picked up the pole in his arms, and stared at it.A splash of blood appeared on the water.Prince Chambord said, "Are you rotten or am I rotten?" Immediately he realized that it was the blood from his own wound, which couldn't stop flowing again. As soon as the boulder with the bird's nest on the top approached quickly, Prince Chambord poked towards the boulder without hesitation, only heard a click, and the pole broke. The Bodhidharma did not slow down or change direction at all, while he himself He was almost thrown into the water.This time it was Messala who gave him a hand. As soon as he hugged the inner tube, the water rushed the Dharma to the boulder, and with a bang, another inner tube rotted. Now, there are only three of the six car inner tubes left, and the Dharma almost does not exist, except for the three conjoined inner tubes that can be cracked and scratched at any time.Prince Chambord and Mesa lay on the inner tube, and saw that the river suddenly narrowed and the rapids became more rapid. The waves aroused were like festive fireworks, rushing up and falling down, with a blade-like reef blocking the front.The two hugged each other. Prince Chambord's upper teeth touched his lower teeth, giggling: "Don't be afraid, it's a big deal..." Mesa shivered and yelled, "Don't talk about death, I'm afraid of death." Prince Chambord said cruelly: "When death is imminent, it is useless to be afraid." The people on the shore ran downstream along the Lhasa River, some were running, some were driving, and the Lama Bird ran at the forefront.The lama bird stopped suddenly, and Aruo Lama, Wujian Lingpa and several Yonghegong lamas came out.They walked off the road and walked quickly to the river. Wu Jian Lingba said: "This is the place, as long as they get here safely, they can be blocked." The river in this place is not wide, and the current is very fast, but there is a gourd mouth in front, and many dead branches, leaves, rotten grass and trees from the upper reaches are blocked here.The only value of these obstructions at this moment is that they are soft, and they won't be smashed into pieces when they hit them. Bixiu arrived with her people, shook her head and said, "The upstream water is so fast and there are so many rocks, I can't get here, this is just a place to collect corpses." Lama Aruo said: "There is a contingency in everything. What if they arrive here alive? Are you not arresting them?" Bixiu said: "Yes, no more arrests, I'll catch ghosts." Lama Aruo dragged Wujian Lingpa up, turned around and walked towards the road.The road was full of cars, including police cars, taxis, public and private cars passing by to watch the excitement, but there was no Land Rover police car they wanted to see.Lama Aruo took out his mobile phone and was about to call Wang Yan when Wu Jian Lingba suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look, someone is going down to save them." In the distant surf, two black dots drift towards Prince Chambord and Mesa. They are the two rescuers, and they saw the threat of death to Prince Chambord and Mesa at the closest distance. This was a fatal impact. The blade-like reef split the three conjoined inner tubes, and also split Prince Chambord and Mesa who were hugging each other. go.A vortex appeared, and immediately swept Mesa into the gully. Relying on her little swimming skills, she struggled to surface, struggled a few times, and fell headlong into another vortex.However, Prince Chambord was carried away from the vortex by a sharp torrent, and rushed straight down, and even more unfortunately, he rushed towards another reef with hidden murderous intentions.He only heard a bang, and he felt the sky fall down, and the dark stick hit him, his head sank, and he didn't know anything with the sound of "Ah yo", and the inner tube in his arms left him. You can only feel it when you enter the water. The vortex can be swirled in or out.Mesa surfaced again, the inner tube came free and she instinctively grabbed, only to catch on to another floater.It was this floating object that suddenly grabbed her hair and pulled it up desperately, making her escape two whirlpools in a row.She thought it was Prince Chambord, hugged him, and said regretfully: "It's all smooth sailing, I'll just stop you." Then she was choked by a wave of water and almost held her breath. The person who was pulling her was still pulling, but his strength was getting weaker and weaker, and finally he couldn't pull her anymore. With a loud crash, the two fell down at the same time, and an abyss appeared. They kept falling, falling, and suddenly felt After being pushed hard by something, he jumped up again, and jumped out of the water with a splash.At this moment, there seemed to be some divine power to help, and the inner tube that had been thrown away was suddenly swept back by the water waves, and the man grabbed it and put it on Mesa. Mesa's head was dizzy, half awake and half dazed, and he didn't know whether he said it in his heart or his mouth: "Prince Chambord, don't you know how to swim? Why do I think you can?" Following the rushing water, Prince Chambord, who was hitting the rock continuously, regained a little bit of sobriety. He felt that someone was supporting him hard. After all, he knew how to swim a little. Mesa, you are better than me.Then he opened his mouth involuntarily, wanting to take a breath, but took a mouthful of water, before spitting it out, he hit the rock again, and the coma took control of him again. The man who rescued him shouted loudly: "You must not die, what am I going to save you for if you are dead?" He had no inner tube, and relied on his excellent water quality to protect Prince Chambord and himself. Hit the rocks.He thought strangely: How come hitting a reef in the water is the same as rolling a rock from a mountain and hitting yourself?I can't smash it any more, and I'll lose my life if I smash it again: the swimmer who won the gold medal in the sports meeting of the whole system drowned himself in the water to save others.He paddled vigorously with one arm, dodging the rocks vigilantly.Suddenly the reef became bigger, and seeing that he couldn't hide, he moved forward, hugged Prince Chambord's head, and let his buttocks hit the reef heavily.He screamed in pain, turned around and swam again, and bumped into another rock, his eyes suddenly flew like gold flowers.When the golden flower disappeared, he saw hope. A stream of water shot between the two reefs, and a flat dam rose over there.It's not flat dams, but dead grass and rotten trees that block the river.They were also floaters, and now they stop all other floaters. The sky was about to get dark, and the people on the river gradually became blurred. Wu Jian Lingba said excitedly: "Look, they are blocked." Lama Aruo ran to the river, dipped his feet into the water, and shouted anxiously: "Swim this way, why don't you swim anymore?" He didn't know, even if it was two fish, swimming in such a current , will also be exhausted.What's more, although the floating object does not move, the water flow below is very fast, and if it relaxes a little, it will be rolled down. Below is the dark and deep tunnel of the underworld. At this time Bixiu also called out: "Hey, are they alive or dead?" She called out several times but no one answered.In fact, the people in the river were also shouting: "Come down and pick us up, we have no strength." The people on the bank couldn't hear them, and the sound was drowned out by the wind and waves. Aruo Lama raised his feet and walked into the water. When he reached the place where the river submerged his thigh, he suddenly jumped back to the water's edge: "Oh, my Sakyamuni, I have never been in the water." Then he turned to the people on the bank. Shouted, "Whoever knows how to swim, go down and pull it." The police and onlookers on the shore were all Tibetans. Tibetans were either the sons of the mountains or the descendants of the grasslands. Swimming was unthinkable for them.Unless Zhimei is a Tibetan living in Beijing, the swimming pool of the Central University for Nationalities has trained him to be a fish.Tibetans are afraid of heat. Others blow it off when it’s hot, but he goes into the water when it’s hot. In summer, he spends almost every afternoon in the school’s swimming pool. After a few years of soaking, he becomes a strong swimmer. Wu Jianlinba walked towards Zhimei: "Now it's your turn, you won't die without saving your life, will you?" Zhimei said: "Are they dead or alive? I would rather carry the corpse than save lives." Solang Banzong, who was beside him, said, "Then you are not human." Zhimei said: "I didn't intend to be a man, what's the point of being a man?" The two rescuers in the river were already overwhelmed. Prince Chambord who was unconscious and Mesa who was also unconscious were dragging them so hard that they could barely lift them out of the water.There was even a time when Prince Chambord was washed under the floating object by the current. The rescuer grabbed a rotten log with one hand, plunged into the water, and bit his clothes with his teeth before catching him again.The two rescuers shouted one after another: "Come on, I can't hold on anymore." The wind and waves became weaker, and shouts came intermittently, but they couldn't make out what they were shouting. Bixiu took off her police uniform several times and put it on again, giving the impression that she wanted to save people but was helpless.Only he himself knew what the clamor in his heart was crazier than the waves of the river: to kill Prince Chambord, to kill Mesa, and to kill the two rescuers in the river.Immediately they would be swept away by the undercurrent beneath the floating objects, and it was too dark to salvage them.A few hours later, it will rush into the Yarlung Zangbo River, the most dangerous river in the world, and a few days later, it will rush into the Himalayas. No ghosts or gods know that those few people were killed by him.But when it came time to go into the water, he could only sigh: Landlubber, why am I a landlubber whose suicide is equivalent to committing suicide? Over there, Solang Banzong was still saying, "You really don't want to save me? Then I'll go into the water." Then he walked into the water. Zhimei grabbed her arm: "You can't swim." Solang Banzong said: "You have to save people even if you can't swim. If you can swim but you have to be ruthless to the end, you are really not human." Chimi said, "We only live and die for the 'Gate of Seven Tara', don't you understand?" Solang Banzong stomped his feet anxiously, turned and left, and begged to the people on the bank: "Who can swim, save people, save people." The begging failed, and she sat on the river bank Weeping in grief, he said, "I should have gone to him a long time ago, why didn't I go?" She remembered that meeting with Prince Chambord. When she said, "The lover who was destined in the previous life, that is to use Tsangyang Gyatso's love song as a token", Prince Chambord immediately sang.She didn't expect Prince Chambord's love song of Tsangyang Gyatso to have such a sound: It was as if the empty heart suddenly welcomed the owner, and the door opened automatically when the key rang.Some people wanted to go in before, but the door, the firm door of the heart, just wouldn't open. It was an illusion that it was open, but when it was pushed, it was firmly closed.Master, you are what I have been waiting in my heart for a thousand years, and finally, everything has been opened for you, but you are about to die, and you let me watch that you are about to be washed away by the surging river.She sang in the voice of Prince Chambord: Dear sweetheart, If you want to study the Dharma and practice, Just follow me boy, Go to the cave in the deep mountain. Zhimei looked back at Suolang Banzong, and said in her heart that the more you sing, the less I will be saved.I don't even want to save Mesa, but Prince Chambord?They're dead and I'm the only digger.I hated it in my heart, but my ears couldn't help listening to Sonam Banzong's love song of Tsangyang Gyatso, and I was inexplicably moved unexpectedly.He looked at himself in surprise: How could he be moved?After a while, he was even more surprised to find that he had taken off his clothes, and was driven and escorted by the love song, and came to the water's edge. Zhimei asked herself: You are a descendant of Razang Khan, aren't you hard-hearted? It was getting dark, and the figures on the river and the water flow turned into one color, and the rescue was invisible, only voices sounded from time to time, proving that they were still struggling with the water flow.After almost an hour of tossing, the people in the river slowly approached the water's edge. Zhimei first dragged Prince Chambord to the shore, and then went down again. After another invisible toss, she dragged Mesa up again.Why save Prince Chambord first?Is the "Seven Tara Gate" more important than Mesa?Could it be that Prince Chambord was more likely than him to discover termas?No, no, no, he never wanted to soberly face the thought that he had been holding down deep in his heart. Lama Aruo asked nervously, "Is Prince Chambor alive?" Zhimei glanced at him and said, "I don't save the dead." Then she threw herself into the Lhasa River again. Suddenly there was the sound of an ambulance on the road.The ambulance had been parked there long ago, and it was only at this juncture that it showed its presence.A man in a white coat got out of the car. He was wearing a brand-new top hat, sunglasses and a mask. He was carrying a leather medicine bag embroidered with the image of the Tathagata. He had a shiny silver stethoscope hanging on his chest. He was a local foreigner at a glance. Combined Tibetan medicine.Even more remarkably, he's a hunchback.In Tibet, many disabled Tibetan doctors are the most powerful masters in curing diseases and saving lives, and everyone immediately respected them. The hunchback Tibetan doctor threw himself on Prince Chambord and squeezed his stomach hard.Then he instructed Aruo Lama to squeeze Mesa's stomach.Lama Aruo looked at Mesa's bare fair skin and hesitated. Solang Banzong came over, pushed Aruo Lama away and said, "I'll come." In the end, two rescuers were rescued by Zhimei. They really didn't have the strength to move half a step. Lama Aruo first exclaimed: "Ah, so it's you?" Wang Yan and Dolma lay on the ground, gasping for breath and not speaking. Prince Chambord and Mesa are still unconscious. The Tibetan doctor Luoguo shouted: "Hurry up and put them into the ambulance." Seeing that Bixiu didn't agree, he walked towards the ambulance and said loudly: "If these two people are drowned, even though your police didn't go into the water to save them But you can be irresponsible, but if someone dies after being rescued, then the police will be more responsible.” Bixiu thought for a while, and ordered her subordinates to do as the hunchback Tibetan doctor said.Several policemen carried Prince Chambord and Mesa onto the road and into the ambulance.The two policemen did not get out after getting into the car, obviously wanting to follow the ambulance to the hospital. Luo Guo Tibetan doctor said: "Quickly see if the two rescuers need to be taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. If necessary, they will go together." The two policemen got out of the car and ran towards the river. Before they could go a few steps, they heard the sound of a car starting up behind them. Looking back, they saw the ambulance turning around the road and rushing towards Lhasa. It was not the police who responded the fastest, but Sorang Banzong.She ran frantically to the road, got into a taxi, and shouted, "Follow, follow, follow that ambulance." The taxi driver asked, "Who was it that was carried into the ambulance?" Solang Banzong said: "The man I was destined to be in my previous life, hurry up." Zhimei couldn't stop her, so she quickly put on her clothes, stopped a taxi, and chased after her. By the river, two policemen reported loudly to Bixiu: "The ambulance took the two criminals away, and none of our people followed." Bixiu asked, "Did you see which hospital the ambulance belongs to?" Then I called the hospital, and the switchboard of the hospital made several calls to let Bixiu understand: the hospital did not send a car to the rescue scene by the Lhasa River, and an ambulance was stolen in the evening.Bixiu yelled angrily: "Who is the thief?" Then she commanded the police to get into the car and chase after him, but Aruo Lama stopped her and said: "You forgot what you said, if Prince Chambord and Mesa arrive here alive, you won't arrest them." "I didn't catch it, did you see me catch it? I'm going to catch ghosts." The exhausted Wang Yan and Zhuoma sat up from the ground, looked at the police cars driving away on the highway, and looked at each other. Wang Yan said, "I hope we didn't save them for Bixiu to practice shooting." Dolma said: "In the water just now, I was so tired that I almost let go of Mesa. Do you know why I didn't let go? Just to prove that my water skills are no worse than yours." Wang Yan said: "In the end, it turns out that you are worse than me. You rescued a woman, and I rescued a man. The weight is different. And I haven't forgotten to solve the case. I touched Prince Chambord all over the water. , without a single wound on his body, which means that he is not the one who put the symbol of Lama Ugyen on it.” Seeing Lama Aruo and Wujian Lingpa standing beside him listening to him, he pointed at them and said, “You, are you still With you, it might be Lama Ugyen, do you dare to take off your cassock and underwear in front of us?" Lama Aruo said: "Don't dare, lamas never take off their clothes, not even the front and back."
