Chapter 543 The People of the West

The next morning, a door bell rang at Chen Tianming's room door

When Chen Tianming opened the door, he couldn't help but be stunned. A girl dressed in Tibetan, about 20 years old, wearing a Tibetan suit, with a slightly red face. On her oval face was a pair of shiny big-eyed eyes, and her long eyelashes flowed with her eye waves.

Hello, beauty, is there anything wrong? Chen Tianming said in confusion

What does this beautiful girl do for her?

If he came to knock at the door so early in the morning, he might think she was a lady

I wonder if she can understand his Chinese

Hello, are you Mr. Chen? That beautiful Tibetan girl speaks standard Chinese

She smiled at Chen Tianming, and the dazzling brilliance also attracted the charm of her smile

Yesterday when Chen Tianming came, he found that the Tibetan girls looked just average, just like those waiters, but this girl looked good

Yes, who are you? Chen Tianming couldn't help but be a little alert. He stared at the girl's face, trying to see something wrong from her face

Oh, my name is Gedan, you are your tour guide to the plateau. The Tibetan girl was stared at by Chen Tianming's eyes and said embarrassedly lowered her head and said

Tour guide? Didn’t you say you came here at nine o’clock? Why are you here now? Chen Tianming asked strangely

Last night, Asai clearly told him that the tour guide came at 9 a.m., but now it is only 8 a.m.

Gedan raised his head and said: Sorry, because our car has to come back early in the afternoon, and there is still something to do, so the company asked me to tell you, is it OK to leave now? By the way, this is my ID, please take a look. Seeing that Chen Tianming was a little disbelief, Gedan took out his ID and handed it to Chen Tianming to see.

Chen Tianming took Gedan's ID, looked carefully, and after confirming that she was the tour guide, he handed her the ID and said with a smile: Gedan, your photo is not as beautiful as you.

Hearing Chen Tianming say this, Gedan's face immediately turned red. Mr. Chen is really good at joking. I want to ask, can we set off?

Yes, we are all ready. Chen Tianming nodded and said

Just now, Zhang Yanqing and the others came to his room. Everyone is ready and can set off early now, just like his wishes.

Then I'm waiting for you downstairs in the hotel, thank you, Mr. Chen. Gedan thought he would leave an hour in advance and the tourists would refuse. Unexpectedly, Chen Tianming was so happy, he actually agreed.

Chen Tianming said jokingly: Haha, who told you that Ah, I originally wanted to refuse to agree, but when I saw you coming, can I not agree?

Gedan's face turned red again. Mr. Chen is really good at joking. I'll go down first. After that, I seemed a little afraid of Chen Tianming, so I hurriedly ran away.

When Chen Tianming and his friends carried their things down to the hotel lobby, they saw the beautiful Gedan waiting for them.

Seeing Chen Tianming and the others, Gedan immediately ran forward and said: Mr. Chen, our car is outside, please come with me! After that, she took Chen Tianming and the others out.

Walking to the hotel entrance, a minibus from a tour company parked there. Gedan hurriedly called Chen Tianming and the others to go up.

After Chen Tianming and the others got on, Gedan got on the car and asked the driver to drive.

The car was walking on the road, and Gedan was also sitting next to him, explaining some situations in the west.

That is the water burial platform in the west. Gedan pointed to the other side and said

What is a water burial platform? Chen Tianming looked at the beautiful beauty in front of him and said

This water burial platform is used by the people of the west to tie the corpse to stones and sink to the bottom of the river. Therefore, the traditional western people do not eat fish. Gedan said to Chen Tianming.

The burial methods in the west are divided into five types: pagoda burial, sky burial, cremation, water burial. The highest burial is the living pagoda burial, the heaven burial of nobles and rich people, the cremation of ordinary people, the water burial of widows and children, and the burial of people with great sins (meaning that they will never be reborn forever)

It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to! Chen Tianming said strangely

At this time, Chen Tianming saw some people walking beside the highway while kneeling and bowing

Chen Tianming asked Gedan strangely, Gedan, what are those people doing? Those people held protective gear, stood attentively, folded their hands together, raised their heads, recited the six-character mantra in their mouths, knelt down, put their bodies completely on the ground, then stood up, and repeated

Gedan looked outside and said: They were going to Sara's Jokhang Temple to worship.

Then why don’t you walk, or drive Ah, why do you kneel while walking? Zhang Yanqing also saw the strange movements of those people outside and couldn’t help but ask.

This is their habit. They came out of their homes and it was like this. They took three steps and kowtowed, and they walked along the road toward the holy city in their hearts, regardless of wind and rain. Gedan looked at those people and his expression showed a kind of respect.

Chen Tianming said: How long will it take for them to walk? If they take three steps and kowtow, they don’t know how long it will take to walk to Sara.

Gedan said: People who are far away, I heard that they will take two months to walk from home, so their whole family came out and brought them all with them simple stoves, simple cooking utensils, tents and luggage. They would eat and live wherever they went.

Tian Ah, they are so pious to religion like this! Chen Tianming couldn't help but sigh

Yes, in fact, their prayers at Jokhang Temple were not for themselves. They were mostly praying for world peace and praying for gods to bless the world. Gedan said in a low voice, it seems that the earth may be one of them.

Hearing Gedan say this, Chen Tianming finally understood what Asai and Zhong Xiangliang said, it is best not to use the power of the country to solve the problem in the western region, so that they can solve it successfully within the internal situation.

If these religious believers who are devout Buddhism do not understand the truth, the Red Lama will easily mislead them. At that time, it will be really out of control.

Chen Tianming thought in his heart

It seems that the essence of these western people is very simple. They took two months to take three steps and kowtow to worship at Jokhang Temple, just to pray for world peace and make the world more beautiful.

I can't let these kind people be used by the Red Lamas

Now, Chen Tianming is more determined to go to the Huang Lama religion.

He wants to help Jesandajie Living Buddha overthrow the vicious independence practices of the Red Lamaism, and to restore a peaceful and beautiful world to the west.

Later, Chen Tianming and his minibus drove off the road and went up the winding mountain road. Chen Tianming saw that there were terraces on both sides, with yellow and green intertwined.

Barley is planted in many fields

Gedan pointed to the front and said: Not far ahead is an important attraction, Yamdrok Cho's "Cuo" means "Lake" in Tibetan, so Yamdrok Cho is usually called Yanghu. Then, the car climbed up in circles.

Originally, it was already at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, but now it has increased by more than 1,000 meters.

Fortunately, Chen Tianming and others have internal strength and do not feel any discomfort in their bodies.

Although Gedan often lives in the west, it feels a bit difficult to be above 4,000 meters high.

Mr. Chen, the altitude is now high, you may feel a little uncomfortable, just get used to it slowly. Gedan said slowly

In high altitudes in the west, do whatever you do slowly and don’t move too much. Laughing loudly may make you breathe for a while.

Thank you for telling us so much, Chen Tianming said gratefully

However, our bodies are strong, and there will be no trouble. Instead, it is you, beautiful Miss Gedan. Don’t let your body feel uncomfortable just because you are our tour guide. After saying that, Chen Tianming stared at Gedan.

Because, although the weather is cold now, Gedan wears more clothes

But the towering height on her chest may have been a little steep due to difficulty breathing, and it was swaying together, making Chen Tianming feel a little moved when he sees it.

Thank you Mr. Chen for your care, but I'm used to it, I'm fine. Gedan seemed to find Chen Tianming looking at the chest of the ground. She seemed to be intentional, but also seemed to be unintentional, placing her hands on her chest, blocking the scenery Chen Tianming was going to see.

Haha, you are polite, Chen Tianming said with a smile

Gedan also smiled slightly and didn't say anything

The tour guide's job this time is very simple. I heard from the company that Chen Tianming and the others are going to go to the Lama Church to buy some fur and medicinal materials. She just took him there and did not want to accompany them to visit again, so this reduced her workload by half.

Wow, that lake is so beautiful! Xiao Su next to him looked at the lake in front and said in admiration

Gedan immediately continued the conversation and said: That is Yamdrok Cho, Yamdrok Cho and Namt Cho, and Mapang Cho are known as the three holy lakes in the west. They are the largest inland lakes on the northern foot of the Himalayas. The beauty of the lake and the mountains are the most beautiful of the Tibetan lake water. It is the indescribable Yamdrok Cho's appearance is like a scorpion. Therefore, it is difficult for us to see the whole picture of the land, but it is a pity that you are not mainly watching the scenery this time.

Chen Tianming heard Gedan say this and said: Gedan, you don’t know us. Of course, we mainly make money. We buy some things first, and it’s not too late to see it when we have time in the future.

That's the same. Now it's the first place to make money. This scenery can be seen anytime. Gedan nodded and said

After driving the car for about an hour, many temples appeared in front of me.

Gedan, is the altitude here lower than the one just now?

Yes, our car just now was bypassing Yamdrok Yongcuo, and then drove to the foot of the mountain there. In front was the Lama Church. Mr. Chen, the Lama Church is mainly the Red and Yellow Cultivation, and in front is the temple of the Red and Yellow Cultivation. Gedan pointed to the temple in front and said to Chen Tianming.

Do they live together? Chen Tianming asked

No, they live separately, each one, you see, the temple on the left is mostly red, that is, the temple on the right of the temple of the Red Lama disciples is mostly yellow, that is, the temple on the right of the Yellow Lama disciples happens to be two large squares separated in the middle, and the square close to them is theirs. Gedan shook his head and said

Oh, so that's it. Chen Tianming said

Mr. Chen, because outsiders often come to Lama to do business and visit, the Red Lama and Huang Lama have hotels for outsiders. Where do you live? Gedan asked Chen Tianming

Chen Tianming thought about it on purpose and said: I feel more comfortable when I look yellow, so I will stay in the hotel taught by Huang Lama!
