Kunlun Mountain is the ancestor of all mountains and the legendary abode of gods. It is talked about by the world. Since ancient times, people have been controversial about the location of the Kunlun Mountains. One theory is that it is in the present-day Kunlun Mountains, another theory is that it is in the present-day Qinling Mountains, and another is that it refers to Mount Tai. Some scholars have pointed out that there are various versions of the location of the Kunlun Mountains. There is a tendency to move eastward, which corresponds to the process of the center of Chinese civilization moving from west to east. Therefore, the symbolic significance of the Kunlun Mountains may be more prominent.
Zhamu Village is at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. However, this Kunlun Mountain is not Kunlun Mountain. This is just what the villagers of Zhamu Village call it. It is easy for outsiders to think that it is. In fact, this Kunlun Mountain is just the same pronunciation. The real name of the mountain is It is "Trapped Dragon Mountain".
The village is located at the foot of the mountain. It is a rather inconspicuous small village with gray tones. The residents in the village are mainly Tibetan, with Qiang and Han people living there. Looking up from the village, you can naturally see the majestic and majestic Kunlun Mountain Peak (let¡¯s give it this name for the time being). The top of the mountain is covered with white snow, and it is extremely holy when the sun shines on it. There is a sacrificial place built with huge rocks on the mountainside, and the villagers have When there is a disaster or something, the elders come here to offer hada, and then recite the scripture a hundred and eight times. It is worth mentioning that in addition to enshrining the ancestral gods and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Zhamucun, this sacrificial place also has a small stone house. The person enshrined in this small stone room is no one else, but Emperor Guan Sheng, who has great popular belief among the Han people. The statue of Emperor Guan Sheng is also a stone carving. It is very simple and is said to have a history of thousands of years. When outsiders come here, they will generally be surprised to see the small temple of Guan Shengdi. In fact, it is not surprising. Tibetan secrets will also expand eastward and be reflected in the Central Plains. Naturally, the Han people's beliefs and respects may also spread to this place in the Western Regions. Strictly speaking, Princess Tang Wencheng brought Central Plains culture to the snowy plateau when she entered Tibet, which was the most important event.
However, not many people noticed the strangeness of Zhamu Village, because it is too inaccessible. Even the most violent cool donkeys nowadays have not been here. However, it was really lively two years ago, and a group of people came here. people. What surprised the villagers was that among these people there were strange-looking people with high noses and blue eyes. In addition, there were also beautiful Han women who were like fairy sisters. What is even more strange is that these strange people from the outside world can actually speak their language, and through verbal communication, the villagers immediately admire and worship them, because they are a group of learned people. They are looking for something of value. The simple villagers cooperated actively, and some even took the initiative to serve as guides. However, a violent avalanche and a series of accidents caused many people to die in this group, and several villagers also died, which made the whole village afraid and worried. , because this is obviously the wrath of the mountain god.
Songbu is in his fifties and is the elder of the village. He is one of the few elders who inherits the oldest ballad passed down orally in the village. He was the only surviving guide, but he knew that it was not the mountain god who was angry, but the dragon girl.
In the ballad, the daughter of the dragon clan is not the dragon clan of the Han people, but the Brahmin clan of India. It is said that 10,000 years ago, the third princess of the Brahmin tribe traveled thousands of miles to marry here, leaving many stories of fighting monsters. Later, the third princess's husband and son died, and the third princess disappeared. There is a version in the ballad that says that the three princesses have reached the depths of the snow-capped mountains and entered great silence under thousands of miles of ice.
Since the incident happened two years ago, Songbu has found it difficult to sleep at night. Therefore, Songbu would get up at the entrance of the village to recite sutras and repent of his mistakes these two nights.
This night was no different from other nights. The sky was dark and the stars were as deep as before. Songbu was extremely pious in his heart. He prostrated himself on the ground and murmured in his mouth.
When he stood up again, Elder Songbu suddenly saw a dazzling green light flashing across the horizon. The green light disappeared so quickly that Elder Songbu felt dazzled. Although he was suspicious in his heart, Elder Songbu intuitively felt that something strange had happened. His heart became more and more pious, and he kept bowing to the ground. His body seemed particularly calm and firm under the light of the stars when he rose and fell.
The more Elder Songbu knelt down and worshiped, the lighter his body and mind became. He felt that every time he went down, all his sins were obviously fading away bit by bit. I don't know how long it took, but Elder Songbu felt a sudden warm air move around him, just like the spring breeze. Elder Songbu was disturbed by the sudden "spring breeze" and woke up. He couldn't help but look into the distance. There was nothing else in sight. Just when Elder Songbu was surprised, he noticed a tremor in the soles of his feet. Elder Songbu was shocked and was about to call the police. However, he found that he could not open his mouth at all. Then his whole body seemed to be immobilized. Stay there. The sky is about to fall and the earth is about to fall. Elder Songbu had a personal experience. He was extremely anxious, but could not move even half a step. He just thought that the location of the village was always safe, and even if there were any avalanches, they would not come to the village. Just when Elder Songbu was feeling extremely uneasy, the earthquake became weaker and did not seem to be ferocious. The air seemed to be filled with a fresh fragrance. Just when Elder Songbu was extremely surprised, crystal raindrops fell in the sky. The raindrops were scattered at first, but then became overwhelming and urgent. The strange thing is that Elder Songbu didn't feel the chill. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart, and there was countless joy in his heart. The raindrops came and went quickly. At the moment when the rain stopped, the night in Kunlun Mountain seemed to be torn away, and the top of the mountain shone brightly. When Elder Songbu saw this scene, his heart changed from great fear to great joy. This was a good sign. Elder Songbu immediately felt that he could move, and his legs immediately knelt down on the ground.
I don¡¯t know how long it took, but Elder Songbu felt that the sky and the ground were filled with endless fragrance. Elder Songbu's heart began to beat irregularly, and his whole person was in an unprecedented state of excitement. He had never been so excited even when he was young and married. Elder Songbu had a vague feeling in his heart that the last lines of the ancient song were about to come true. Elder Songbu couldn't help it any longer. He raised his head and saw a mysterious woman standing on the mountainside in the distance. The mysterious woman's whole body was shining with holy white hair, and the breeze was blowing at the corners of her robe and skirt, making her look like a fairy. The mysterious woman moved lightly with her bare feet. No matter whether it was cold snow or sharp gravel, it felt like soft grass at the moment. Elder Songbu trembled, it was the Dragon Girl, it must be right, it was the Dragon Girl! The legend turned out to be true!
The breeze moved again, but everything was like flowers and moon in the water. It calmed down after a period of trembling, or the so-called normality returned. And when Elder Songbu looked ahead almost in the blink of an eye, there was no woman in sight.
