Chapter 11 Chapter Ten: The Sky Burial Ceremony Is Terrible

Of course, no one knows how many years will pass, but an important gap has been opened, which is always a beginning of human progress. I kept thinking about it, almost in a trance. While thinking, I couldn't help talking to myself: "Although all human wars are said to come from the mind, but the body shape has a great influence on the mind and desire. If To get out of shape, that's real progress." When I was saying this, I suddenly felt a pair of brilliant eyes staring at me, I froze for a moment, facing these eyes, they were the eyes of the old man Tianchi. The old man Tianchi didn't make a sound at all, but I could clearly feel him asking: "Since you know this, why don't you even take the first step?"

I sighed secretly in my heart, why didn't I take the first step, it was the result of deliberation, the reason has already been stated before, and I didn't make a sound, but the old man Tianchi immediately understood what I meant, smiled slightly, and turned around Turn your face away. At that moment, I suddenly felt that "heart-to-heart communication" is not very difficult to know each other's mind without words.Just now, I did this with the old man. Naturally, it is mostly because the old man's thoughts are particularly easy to be felt by others. When the old man turned his head away, I heard Jin Wei let out a low sigh, probably expressing regret for my decision.

I don’t think so, because I know that to master supernatural powers like the old man is not something I can do. To some extent, I need a so-called “wisdom root”. I know my own affairs, and I don’t have this kind of “wisdom root”.And I don't think Chen Changqing will, but since Chen Changqing has resolutely decided to step into this magical and mysterious field, naturally he can only hope that he will succeed. The old man Tianchi said to Jin Wei: "We will set off early tomorrow morning to welcome the rebirth of Wusan Lama." As he spoke, he looked at me again, and I couldn't wait to say: "I'm going to open my eyes too."

The old man nodded to express his permission, flicked his sleeves, left the hall in a floating manner, and went back to his room.I was embarrassed to follow in, so I had no choice but to stay in the hall and watch as Jin Wei and the young men wrapped the little girl's body in a piece of sackcloth and moved it out. Jin Wei said: "Although it is short, it is also a life course. Do you want to participate in the sky burial?" I once participated in a "sky burial" ceremony in the past. It was bloody and terrifying. Of course I didn't want to go again. Before I could answer, Jin Wei saw what I meant. He smiled and said, "Then you can stay." In the temple, you can walk around freely, there are many people with high wisdom in the temple, if you are interested in asking them for advice, it is an excellent opportunity."

I said sincerely: "Thank you, I will take advantage of this opportunity, I am afraid that my intelligence is too low, and I am not even qualified to ask questions." Jin Wei laughed loudly, and patted me hard on the shoulder: "Don't be too modest." After he left, I paced slowly in the temple, which was extremely quiet. Encounters, surprises, and surprises Most of the lamas are either chanting sutras in a low voice, or they are maintaining a posture, standing still. Most of the postures are quite weird.I am very used to this kind of situation. Last time, I had a strange experience in the famous Samboji Temple, dealing with several extremely profound lamas.But obviously there is more than one path in the mysterious world, and the experience last time was quite different from this time.

(The last experience is described in this story.) Naturally, I didn't bother them, I just walked around, and while I was walking, I was still thinking about everything that happened, and my energy was not very concentrated. I thought of the "deadly skinny man" who hesitated in front of the old man for thirteen seconds , the old man told him that one second is equal to one year. Like me, it is not hesitation at all, and naturally it will be unsuccessful in a lifetime. At this time, I walked into a courtyard with several big trees, which was very dark due to the cover of dense leaves. I saw a person leaning on the trunk of the big tree in the depths of the forest, I didn’t move at all, thinking that this person must be meditating, it’s better not to disturb him, and was about to leave when the person suddenly raised his head, and I met him face to face, although the distance was quite far, I still looked at him. Knowing who he is, he cried out: "Bupin."

He also called out almost at the same time: "Wesley." Meeting Bupin here was naturally unexpected, but when we hurriedly approached, I found Bupin's expression was even more surprised and unexpected. Naturally, Bupin is an excellent mountain climber. This area is exactly the area where he is active. I met him in the highest mountainous area on earth. Although it was unexpected, it was still reasonable, and he met here. Me, that's kind of weird. When we approached each other, the two asked in unison, "What are you doing here?" The temple is very quiet, the voices of the two of us, although not very loud, are enough to make all kinds of birds that used to live on the forest flutter their wings and fly together. stop.

After we asked each other this sentence, we only heard the startled sound of birds and looked at each other. What I am doing here is really a long story, and what he is doing here, judging by his expression, is also a long story. I thought for a while before I said, "Have you seen Chen Changqing recently? My coming here has something to do with him." Bupin looked quite nervous, and he lowered his voice: "Then, is it related to the old Tianchi gang?" When he mentioned the old man in Tianchi, he called it "a group of people". In his language, not only did he not have any respect, but on the contrary, he was very hostile.This can not help but make me a little stunned.

I said: "Yes, the old man is... I think, the old man Tianchi is probably the greatest person in the history of mankind." Bupin rolled his eyes and looked at me with an unconvinced expression. I started to tell him about the extraordinary achievements and supernatural powers of the old man Tianchi. Anyway, the forest in this yard is quiet and very quiet, and no one will disturb our long conversation. And my prediction at the beginning was also correct. Although I still don't know the reason, Bupin is full of hostility towards the old man Tianchi. (What kind of conflict will there be between a person who devotes his life to climbing mountains and a person who devotes his life to exploring the mysteries of life? I really couldn't think of it at the time, and, according to what Buping told Chen Changqing, he and Tianchi old man have met before.)

Proving that Bupin is hostile to the old man, when I mentioned the old man's abilities, he would criticize him or her in a disdainful tone. First, I mentioned the old man's meditation, and he said: What's so great about it, I will too. I mentioned the old man's "Sky Eye", and he said, "Hmph, it's not surprising, there are at least ten thousand lamas who know this kind of skill." When I mentioned the old man's "mind wandering", he still said: "Many old lamas know it." But when I go on to talk about the separation of the soul from the heart, the subtle relationship between the mind and the soul, the invisible soul, even without the limitation of speed at all, and truly embodies the omnipresent state of the mind, Bu Ping But nothing more could be said.

This is really a normal reaction of a sensible person after hearing this kind of thing. Naturally, I mentioned the situation of "reincarnation". At this moment, Bupin was slightly agitated, but then calmed down. I briefly finished the story, and then concluded: "I can know so much, thanks to the guidance of Jin Wei and the old man. I think the old man is the most intelligent man among human beings. His understanding of the mysteries of life is almost better than that of the whole world." people know more than all of them.” Bupin lowered his head and pondered for a while without saying a word. When he opened his mouth, he changed his subject: "I've heard of Jin Wei. All mountaineers would not like someone like him." I couldn't help being surprised: "Why?" Bupin looked resentful, and hummed: "This man knows almost all the sheep eagles in the Himalayas. Many people even firmly believe that he understands the language of eagles." I was even more surprised: "What's wrong with that?" Bupin's expression was even more resentful: "Okay, what's the problem, it would be better if he could grow hair all over his body and grow wings under his sides, but it's a pity he can't, he is still a human being, he is a human being, when he meets a high mountain, he should Rely on human will and physical strength to climb over step by step to maintain human dignity, instead of using a net to net yourself and let flat-haired animals lift it over." I heard him express his remarks so angrily, and then I realized why he didn't like Jin Wei. It turned out that Jin Wei's method of crossing the mountains hurt his self-esteem as a mountaineer. I couldn't help laughing "haha", Bupin was still staring at me, I patted him on the shoulder: "Bupin, your thoughts are just the thoughts of primitive people." Bupin was so angry that he stretched out his hand and slapped me away hand: "I'll wait for your explanation, or an apology." Mysterious and secretive, I wanted to tell the truth, and I saw that he was serious, but it was too inconvenient: "Of course, Jin Wei's method is not good enough, but even human beings' own abilities don't have to be step by step, every minute and every second Risking his body and bones to climb a mountain. Think about the ability of the old man Tianchi. He can cross all the mountains on the earth in a flash. No matter how high a mountain is, it can't stop people's thoughts and souls, but only people The body. You pay too much attention to the strength of the human body, while ignoring the more important side." After listening to my words, Bupin tilted his head and thought for a while before heaving a long sigh. Judging from his expression, he naturally agreed with my words. After a while, he sighed again: "You are right, I met the old man once, and that time, I only felt his ability, It is very helpful for emergencies encountered during mountaineering, never thought that it was just for the sake of the human body, yes, this is indeed the idea of ​​primitive people.” Seeing his despondency, I comforted him instead: "My words are a bit too serious. It should be said that they are the thoughts of ordinary people." Boupin rolled his eyes, smiled wryly, and punched me on the shoulder: "Worse, I'd rather be an outstanding primitive man than an ordinary modern man." I also sighed, feeling quite conflicted. I have a great chance to break away from the ranks of ordinary people, but as Bupin said when he met the old man Tianchi for the first time, I have so many things to do, how can I? Since you can't let it go, you have to be doomed to be an ordinary person. We each sighed a few times before I asked, "Come back to business, what are you doing here?" Buping's expression suddenly became tense again: "I came to find someone. I have spent a lot of time looking for this person, and now I find that he is in this monastery." I didn't intervene, because I could tell that Bupin was definitely not here to "find someone". If he was looking for someone and that person was in the temple, he had already achieved his goal, so why would he still be so secretive? ?So I just waited for him to talk. Buping took a breath: "The matter may be related to the old man Tianchi, but I still don't understand what is going on." He was really getting more and more confused, and I made a gesture to ask him to speak more clearly. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "About three years ago, a mountain climber disappeared on the main peak of Tanggula." I don't have any special reaction. When a person climbs a mountain in this kind of place, the chance of disappearing is as high as that of being robbed by an underground train in New York. It is too common. Bupin took a breath: "His name is Bender, he is of mixed race from India and Sikkim, but his wife is Danish, a typical Nordic woman. They met when they were climbing the Alps──" I politely reminded him: "What you said is too far away from the topic." Bupin was startled for a while, showing a very strange expression, and waving his hands. His expression made me know it at a glance. , He had something to say in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it. The strange behavior of drawing a knife in the air was very strange to me, because there seemed to be nothing unspeakable hidden in what Buppin was about to tell me. He smiled wryly again, and then said: "At that time, Bender led a seven-member team to climb the mountain. They had already climbed five thousand meters, and the peak was in sight. Just like sailing in mid-air, accidents can happen at any time. He is the leader, on a cliff that goes straight up and down, he is at the top, and the other seven people are below him in order, and they are connected by ropes." I said "uh" again: "I know the situation of climbing the cliff, you can skip it, and you don't need to go into too much detail." Bupin glared at me: "Suddenly, when he was climbing up, a nail he had just put on came loose, and he fell down." This is quite a thrilling scene, but I don't think so.A loose nail is naturally an unforgivable mistake for a climber, especially the first-rate mountaineering team. Before hammering in a nail, they should first figure out the texture of the rock, because it is a matter related to their own safety. But even if the nails are loose, it doesn't matter, the climbers are connected by ropes, the distance between each person is about five meters to seven meters, and the second person is also connected by nails and ropes, that is to say , He falls, at most five to seven or eight meters, and will be stabilized by the second nail, and he can return himself to the original place very calmly. So, hearing Buppin talk about this, my reaction is still very normal.Bupin glared at me again: "Originally, this situation is very common, but Bender fell to the point where the rope that tied him had not been straightened, that is to say, the force of his fall had not been caught by him. When the man's second nail stopped, he suddenly drew his knife and swung it to cut the safety rope around his waist." Hearing this, I couldn't help but let out an "ah".The behavior of this mountaineer named Bender is too weird. Cutting the safety rope is tantamount to suicide. Moreover, the time required for a person to fall about five meters is extremely short, about no more than one second, and he has to draw a knife to break the rope in such a short time, although I know that most of the small knives that climbers carry with them It is extremely sharp, but if such a decision is to be made at that moment and put into practice, then this person's mind must be extremely clear at that moment, that is to say, he must know very clearly that he What are you doing! Then, there are only two possibilities, one is that he intends to commit suicide, and the other is that he knows that falling is not dangerous. I thought of the second possibility, so I said: "Below the cliff is──" Bu Ping said: "It's a hillside with extremely thick snow, but the hillside is 216 meters away from the place where he fell." As he said this, he looked at me, and I knew he was asking me if I had any chance of surviving if I fell from such a height. After investigating the accident site for a long time, I thought about it, and then said: "The snow must be at least two meters thick, and there must be some auxiliary tools, such as equipment to slow down the acceleration, to ensure safety." Bupin said: "The snow accumulation is only 50 to 70 centimeters, and there is no equipment." I shook my head: "You can use the simplest acceleration formula to calculate. When a person who weighs 60 kilograms falls to more than 200 meters, how much acceleration will increase the momentum. Seventy centimeters of snow, There is no way to cushion the force, and under this force, almost no one can survive." Bupin listened attentively, and when I finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief: "It's exactly the same as my analysis, and I told Dany the same way." I was taken aback: "Danny?" Bupin said, "It's Bender's wife." I inadvertently said "Oh": "Is that the typical blond Nordic American?" I just said this casually, but at that moment, Bupin showed a strange look, which made me think that there must be something strange in it. Bupin swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "At that time, the seven climbers witnessed Bender's downward fall, and saw him hit a protruding rock first, and the snow on the rock flew up, and then flew up. The heavy snow and the big rock blocked the sight of each of them, and they couldn't see Bender who was still falling. These seven people were quite experienced climbers, but they were also stunned by this sudden change Well, the thin air of the high mountain already made people's thoughts dull. It took about a minute or two before they descended along the route they climbed up. Hour." I listened carefully to his narration, and he paused for a moment: "At that time, they could already see the situation on the hillside below. They saw that there was a rather large snow pit facing the abyss, but there was no one there. , the snow pit is only about one meter away from the edge of the mountain, so the biggest possibility is—” I picked it up: "The biggest possibility is that he jumped up and fell into the abyss below." Bu Ping nodded slowly: "There is an unfathomable abyss below, and naturally there is no chance of surviving this fall." I had quite a lot of questions in my mind, but he made a gesture to signal me not to ask questions. He said: "After the incident, the local search team searched, but there was no result. After Dani received the bad news, she came to me first. , She didn’t want me to find Bender’s body, she knew it was extremely unlikely, but she wanted to know why Bender did this and why he cut his own safety rope.” I raised my eyebrows and didn't express my opinion. Bupin said again: "I went to the accident site to investigate for a long time, but I couldn't figure it out. Later, I knocked off the rock specimen where Bender's last nail was driven in, took it back for research, and cut the rock into many thin slices── This is the reason why I went to find Chen Changqing to know why Bender wanted to cut the rope." I tentatively asked, "Did he choose the wrong place for the safety nail?" On the way to find her husband, Bupin sighed: "It can be said that the rock on the cliff has a rather complicated structure. Under the solid granite, it turned out to be limestone, and the thickness of the granite is only about one centimeter. It must have been at the moment when his own nail fell off, knowing this, knowing that he was falling, and that the second safety nail, instead of stopping his fall, would be torn off by the force of his fall, It caused the person below him to also fall down." I couldn't help saying "ah", the matter is very clear, the second person falls, and the third person will be affected, and then, the fourth, fifth...all people will fall because of the loosening of the nails , no one is spared. And Bender made a decisive decision at that moment and cut the rope, so he was the only one who died, and the other seven escaped the bad luck. His behavior cannot be said to be great, because he himself is dead anyway, but such decisions and actions in such a short period of time prove that he is an extremely astute person. Bupin sighed: "He is a great mountaineer. After a year of searching, his body has not been found, and Danny and I have tried our best." When I heard this, I already understood why I mentioned Dany, and Bupin had a strange look.I thought, for a year, the two of them lived in this untouched environment. Although Dani came to look for her missing husband, she didn't understand in her heart. What she was looking for was just a corpse. , Under such circumstances, a typical blond Nordic woman and an outstanding mountaineer have some feelings, isn't it a very normal and quite romantic natural development? I nodded understandingly. Bupin knew that I understood, and he didn't explain anything. He just said, "So, it's very important to Dani and me whether we can find Bender's body." I clicked again. He nodded, expressing his understanding that it would take seven years to go missing before he could be legally considered dead. Bupin took a breath: "So we continued to search. About half a year later, I went down the mountain to replenish supplies, but I heard a mountaineering team say that they had seen Bender a few days ago. Bender's status in the mountaineering world is quite high. , I asked again and again to prove that they did not identify the wrong person, those people said that they saw Bender in a small mountain village, together with some very strange people, those strange people can stand still for a long time, like stone statues." Listening to this, I couldn't help saying "ah" again: the old man Tianchi and some people around him. Bupin and I looked at each other for a while, and then said again: "I went up the mountain and talked to Dani, and naturally changed the method of searching. I have been inquiring about the whereabouts of those people, and I know that they are the ones I have met before." A group of people──At that time, Bender was obviously not among them, and he also knew that the old man in the head was called Tianchi old man, but it was not until the day before yesterday that I knew their exact whereabouts were here, so I followed them, and I really saw Bender Germany." I looked like a patient with amnesia and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you recognize each other immediately?" Bupin smiled bitterly: "How can you tell me? I... fell in love with his wife deeply, so it was only I who saw him, and he didn't let him see me." Bupin's expression was painful and confused. I thought about it and said, "It's a miracle that Bender survived. After he survived, he didn't contact his family. I think something weird must have happened... ...what does Bender look like?" Bupin described what Bender looked like, and I immediately knew who he was talking about. It was one of the few people I saw in the yard when I arrived. In the courtyard where the Tianchi old man was. I hurriedly said: "Don't worry, let me talk to him first." Bupin said: "You have to tell him that Dani... loves me too." I sighed secretly, without saying anything, he held my hand tightly and shook: "It's good to see you, Wesley, no matter where you are, it's good to see you." I told him not to wander around, just wait for me here, and then I hurried into the yard, and saw Bender, whom Buppin mentioned, was standing in the yard, but he didn't look like he was "wandering". I know that the people around the old man in Tianchi all have certain supernatural powers, so I didn't dare to be too pretentious. When I came to his side, I politely called out: "Mr. Bender." He turned his head and looked at me with a surprised expression on his face: "What did you call me just now?" I repeated it again, he first smiled kindly, and said: "You recognize the wrong person──" However, before he could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand and held my arm tightly. He said hurriedly, "You mean, you know me? Know my name?" I took a breath , His movements and expression are quite weird, he looks like a patient with amnesia, as if someone suddenly recognized him.I thought that if he survived the fall, his brain would be concussed and he would suffer from amnesia, which is not impossible. I patted the back of his hand: "Calm down, I don't know you, but you have an old friend who has been looking for you for a long time." His expression regained his composure in an instant, and he said in a calm tone: "Please tell him that there is no need to look for him. My situation is very special. Now I am Lama Lama Laibei from Sangpu Monastery." I was taken aback. If there was no emotional entanglement between Bupin and Danni, the matter would be settled here, because I already understood that his so-called "special situation" must be the soul of a lama from Sangpu Monastery, who entered the Inside the body of a mountaineer named Bender. But with all this entanglement involved, at least he and Boupin should meet. So I said: "Lama Lama, I can understand your special situation, but you...not you, but Mr. Bender's wife is also looking for you. You can't just call her and leave you alone." What is the difference between reborn Bender? He showed a very disgusted expression: "There is also a wife, alas, it seems that I might as well abandon this body like Lama Wusan." I really don't know what to say, because the situation is so special.But at this moment, the old man Tianchi walked out slowly, he hastily greeted him, and said a few words quickly, the old man Tianchi smiled, and said: "I said a long time ago, your situation is not enough to teach you, you have got it." A growing body, this body must have many causes and consequences and entanglements, and you feel that your mind is blocked, and this is not the reason." I also walked over, but I just swallowed a mouthful of saliva and didn't participate in any comments. The issues they were discussing were so mysterious that I really had no room to intervene, so I might as well just listen quietly. The old man said, and looked towards me: "There will always be a day when someone recognizes him. His current situation is completely deceiving himself." I had no choice but to smile wryly: "I... don't quite understand what his... is going on now." The old man laughed: "You once said that if a body is good, the soul will not leave, but there are exceptions to almost everything──" When he said this, I quickly interrupted him: "Please wait a moment, I'll go and call my friend, okay? The one who wants to find him is my friend." The old man's attitude was very gentle, and he nodded with a smile. I ran out, reached the yard, grabbed Bupin, and ran back together. Bupin saw "Bender" with a very strange expression on his face. "Bender" obviously didn't recognize Buppin, and when he saw him, he said, "I'm not the person you used to know anymore, please pay attention to that." Bu Ping wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it, so I said, "Let's listen to what the old man said first." The old man Tianchi nodded to Buping: "We have seen it before. He used to be your friend. He fell from the cliff in an accident. When he hadn't hit anything and was still in mid-air ,He is dead." Seeing "Bender" standing in front of him alive, the old man's words were naturally quite unacceptable, so Bupin frowned with a puzzled look on his face. The old man Tianchi continued on, "This kind of situation is very rare. Death is the separation of soul and body. It is very likely that he was frightened to death──" Bupin hurriedly said: "No, he is a very brave mountaineer, and he was very sober when he was dying, and he did a very important thing, saving the lives of the other seven people." The old man looked at me, and I hurriedly told him briefly about Bender's fall from the mountain. The old man said "Oh": "Then he didn't die of fright, but in his mind, when he thought he would die, his soul left his body." When the old man said this, he looked at "Bender", and "Bender" blushed: "That has nothing to do with me. Once his soul leaves his body, he will be like an ordinary person and never come back." The old man said, "I don't blame you for anything—" He faced me and Bupin again: "The situation at that time was that Lama Lama Laibei of Sangpu Monastery just passed away, and his soul was still in mid-air when he met. Bender, who fell in the middle——Lama Lama Labe had practiced with me for many years, and he already had supernatural powers. He immediately thought that if he entered this body, he would be able to avoid the pain of becoming a baby after being reincarnated, so he He entered this body in an instant, and then the body fell to the ground—if Bender landed, he would have to die, but Lama Laibei has received the influence of Tantric Qigong, so he can control the muscles, smooth and natural, after landing, Bounced up, fell to the cliff below, and fell into the snow without any damage." "Bender" said: "Bender is dead, I just borrowed his body." The old man said again: "This kind of reincarnation that borrows the body is quite rare, and there is no benefit. After Lama Laibei's reincarnation, his spiritual wisdom is not as good as before, and he can't even use his spirit travel anymore." Bupin swallowed his saliva: "So... where did Bender go?" The old man smiled and said: "Who knows? Maybe he has already been reincarnated, and like many people, the memory of his previous life has completely disappeared. It is also possible that he has not been reincarnated, just like many souls." I suddenly thought of a question: "If Lama Laibei can get out of his body—" The old man said with certainty: "That means there is an extra corpse. Bender will never be able to come back to life, because he does not have the ability to leave the body freely. He is already dead." "Bender" smiled wryly: "Actually, I can't give up this body now, because I don't have the previous ability. My experience, I can only say that the research on the elderly is quite useful. It proves that entering other people's bodies, even if this body It is not a good situation to be completely intact, he must go through the baby stage in order to continue the spiritual wisdom of the previous life." The old man said in a deep voice: "This point is very important. I have told Lama Wusan earlier, but it is probably because the baby stage is really not easy, so he is still hesitant. Fortunately, your few words made it easier for him He made up his mind." I hurriedly said, "What is that? I'm an outsider, so it's easier to see clearly." The old man looked at Bupin again: "No matter what relatives Bender has, you can tell them with peace of mind that Bender is dead." Faced with such a strange mystery of life and death, Bu Ping was a little dumbfounded, and I hurriedly said: "The old man's words must be right." Bupin took a long breath and said, "You don't have any memory of Bender?" "Bender" shook his head: "How could it be? He and I are two completely different people." Bupin kept shaking his head. Obviously, he still couldn't fully accept such a weird thing. He just murmured to himself, "How should I tell Dani? Will she believe it?" I pulled him outside and whispered: "I suggest you don't tell the truth, just tell her that Bender is definitely dead." The more I experienced, the more confused I became. I continued: "This person is just very similar to Bender in appearance, and I believe that the chances of others seeing him in the future are very slim." Bupin hesitated: "I... love Dani very much, can I lie to her like this?" I laughed and patted his shoulder: "Friend, listen to me, such a lie must be told." Bupin looked at me for a while, then nodded slowly: "Next time we meet, I will introduce Dani to you." I blinked at him, and he walked out. At the beginning, his steps were a bit heavy, but then he became brisk. When he turned the corner, he almost jumped out. It can be seen that the burden in his heart has been completely eliminated. . Bupin is a very interesting person. I didn't expect to meet him here and helped him solve a difficult problem. I was also very happy. I turned around and saw the old man Tianchi talking with Lama Laibei. When I got closer, I heard the old man say: "If you want to be like Lama Wusan, you must work harder and diligently. Maybe after a few years, you You can also reincarnate according to your own will." Lama Laibei sighed, "I don't know how long it will take for a single thought that day." When I heard this, I couldn't help but said: "For you, the length of time has nothing to do with it. Since life is eternal, how many years earlier and later will make any difference." When Lama Laibei heard this, he first looked bewildered, but then he smiled and clasped his hands together: "Thank you for your guidance." I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. His understanding of the mysteries of life is many times higher than mine, but the phrase "the authorities are obsessed" is applicable to almost everyone, and I need a word of reminder. The reason for this. At this time, several other people from Jin Wei had also returned. The old man turned around and walked in. I told Jin Wei about the matter between Bupin and Bender, and Jin Wei smiled: "Your trip is one more important." The experience of life." I sighed: "I really feel more and more that I don't understand anything." Jin Wei didn't say anything more, took me to a room, let me rest, and prepared to leave tomorrow to meet the reincarnated Wusan Lama. That night, in the quiet environment, I thought over and over again about everything I saw and heard these days, and I thought about Chen Changqing in that stone house. I don’t know what happened. He was more determined than me, determined to step into the There is no hesitation in exploring this mysterious realm. The next morning, the sound of the bell woke me up, and I ate with the lamas in the temple. Only then did I see that there were at least 500 lamas in the temple, but almost all of them were carried out in extreme silence. Make unnecessary noise. I, Jinwei, the old man Tianchi, two young people and Lama Laibei, there are six people in total. When we left the monastery, the sun had just risen. Jinwei told me that our destination is a place not far from here.小山村，距离虽然不远，但由于山路并不好走，所以也至少要两天的时间，看人的身体，是如何限制了人的活动范围。 婴儿父亲最不高兴这两天的路程，也十分愉快，我和金维讨论得最多，也向天池老人发出了种种问题，自然全是环绕着生和死的话题，有许多话是重复了又重复的，但由于这个问题值得探讨之处实在太多，重复也不觉其烦。 天池老人在这方面的智慧，虽然已超过了地球上任何一个人，可是也还有一些关键问题，他还在探索中，例如灵魂追随思想，可以达到任何距离，对他来说，目前也还只能在地球范围之内，何以超脱不了地球的范围，他也说不上来。 第三天中午时分，我们到达了那个小山村，这是一个十分贫穷、几乎与世隔绝的一个小山村，村中人一听金维说及来意，由于他们世世代代的宗教信仰的缘故，早已接受了“转世”的观念，所以一点也不觉得讶异，反倒认为那是理所当然的事。 而且，人人都为了有一个有修为的喇嘛，能转世在他们的村子中降生而高兴。 那位即将临盆的孕妇，也由人扶着出来参见天池老人，我望着她破旧的衣服下隆然的腹部，心中有一股异样的奇妙之感。 任何人见到了孕妇，都会想到一个新生命快要诞生了，可是有谁能真了解到一个新生命的意义？ 现在，五散喇嘛的灵魂，应该已经进入胎儿的身体之中了，他能思想──婴儿的脑部活动可以容纳思想活动的程度是多少？ 他肯定无法一出世就会说话，因为婴儿的发音器官未曾成长到可以发出各种不同的音节，构成语言的缘故，他也不能写字，因为婴儿的手，根本无法握拳，他必须忍受婴儿时期的种种痛苦和不便，而那又是必需的，因为来贝喇嘛的例子不足取。 孕妇又被扶进了简陋的屋子，由两个有经验的老妇人照顾着。我心中的疑问也越来越多，譬如说，在卫生条件极差的情形下，婴儿夭折的机会极大，要是婴儿有了事，又会是怎样一个情形？甚至，现在，五散喇嘛的灵魂，是不是真的已进入了胎儿的身体，连老人也无法确定，他只是无法再和五散喇嘛的灵魂作任何联系，才假定情形进行顺利的。 当产妇的呻吟声开始从屋子中传出来的时候，在屋外的人，除了天池老人之外，别的人，神情都有点紧张，尤其是来贝喇嘛，因为这次转世的安排，是不是成功，和他有极密切的关系。 高山环绕之下，落日的时间特别早，上百个村民，人人都等候在屋子外，产妇的丈夫是一个身形结实的中年人，看起来最不高兴的是他，因为他的儿子，将不是他的儿子。 敲碰三下再生印记若不是有着根深柢固的宗教观念作为支持的话，他只怕会把我们这批人赶走。 终于，在漫天红霞和山顶白皑皑的积雪相辉映，使得山景壮丽之极的情形下，屋子之中传出了十分宏亮的儿啼声，一分钟之后，一个老妇人抱着一个用白布包着的婴孩走了出来，把婴孩交到了天池老人的手中。 我和金维、来贝喇嘛等人，一起围了过去，看到婴孩的双眼漆黑，透露着成熟的光彩，而且，天池老人一抱住了婴儿，婴儿就止住了啼哭，缓慢而艰难地伸出手来，他的手指还完全无法随心活动，但是握着的拳头，却向着老人的鼻尖，连碰了三下──这正是他们之间约好了的信息。是五散喇嘛告诉老人，这次转世十分成功的信息。 人类有生以来，第一个凭自己的意志而转世新生的人，就在我的眼前。在漫天红霞之中，人类的生命史揭开了新的一页。 天池老人满是皱纹的脸上，绽开了笑容，他双手高举，把这个如此特出的婴儿，高高举了起来，而四周围在传出了一阵欢呼声之后，几乎所有的人，都一起俯伏在地，发出了有韵律的诵声。 这些村民，未必知道天池老人在人类生命的进化上作出了多大的贡献，但他们一定会感到，生死的谜团，是可以打破的，这柄千百年来牢锁着奥秘的锁，是有钥匙可以将之打开来的。
在和陈长青三个月之约未到期前，我回到家里。白素在听完了我的叙述之后，半晌默然不语，才叹了一声：“这种能力，毕竟不是人人都能掌握的。” 我道：“必然会越来越多人掌握，而没有这种能力的人，会被淘汰。” 白素苦笑：“那可能是不知多少年以后的事了。” 温宝裕的反应很特别，他毕竟是少年，对生死这样的大事，没有什么了解，他大声道：“陈长青要入山修道？再也不在人间露面了？” 我对他用了“入山修道”这样的词句，感到好笑，但我也十分黯然：“只怕是。” 温宝裕咬着下唇一会，才道：“可不可以在你和他约会到期时，带我一起去见他？” 我立即道：“可以，只要你母亲答允的话。” 温宝裕过了半晌，才叹了一口气：“算了吧，当我没有说过。” 过了一会，他又道：“我只考虑快些长大到可以自由行动的年龄，死亡对我来说，实在太远了。” 我同情地望着他，在他的头上轻轻拍了两下，他忽然又高兴起来：“要是灵魂随时能出窍去远游，那才是真正的自由行动。不然，人哪有真正的自由行动。” 前生身分一直成谜白素赞了他一句：“小宝的想法，越来越成熟了。” 温宝裕闭上了眼睛，一副悠然神往、受之无愧的样子。
刚好是分别三个月之后，我又走进那石屋，陈长青在门口迎接我，一见面就道：“我已经知道我前生的经历了，天池老人来过，说我有这方面异能的天生的才能，极有希望成功。” 接着，他又不容我开口，说了许多不相干的话，到我实在忍不住了，问他：“你前生究竟是干什么的？” 他一听得我这样问，立时涨红了脸，现出了十分忸怩的神情来。 我不禁大感滑稽，问：“你的前生是和尚？” 陈长青用力一挥手：“我绝对不会讲给你听的，你也不必再问了。” 我哈哈大笑：“总不成是尼姑？” 陈长青怒道：“放屁。” 我道：“快变成修道人了，怎么还那么容易发嗔，说来听听，又有什么关系？” 陈长青像是有点意动，但随即又现出了一副坚决的神情来：“决不会告诉你，而且你再也猜不到。” 他的前生可能是任何人，自然无法猜得到，但从他的神态来看，决不会是帝王将相，甚至也不会是贩夫走卒，因为，那也没有什么好忸怩脸红的。 我猜，他的前生多半是女性，但就算是女性，又有什么不可以说的呢？我自然不肯放过，一连逼问了他一天，他才叹一口气：“有点匪夷所思，不错，是女人，这女人太有名了，讲出来你也不会相信。” 唉，太有名的女人也太多了，我还是猜不出来。 陈长青的前生，究竟是什么人，一直是个谜，因为自此之后，我再也没有见过他。 你猜得出吗？线索是有的，可是就算猜到了，那又怎样？
