The Local Lazy Man System

Chapter 2184: Pilgrims

Ye Yaorong looked at the direction Liu Qingqing pointed, and saw a black spot slowly approaching in the vast distance of the river, but Ye Yaorong could still see clearly that it was a small boat here. The torrential Yellow River was driving up.

"It's a small boat, and there is an old boatman on it!"

As the boat approaches, you can see an old boatman who is more than sixty years old.

The boat is so small that it looks like a small spot on the wide Yellow River.

The boatmen who can drive such a small boat on the Yellow River, where the river is complex and densely covered with reefs, are all people who are very familiar with this section of the Yellow River.

Their main job is to guide passing ships through this complicated river channel.

Without the approach of these boatmen who are familiar with this section of the river, passing ships may accidentally hit the rocks. In the rapids of the Yellow River, once the ships hit the rocks, they would be very dangerous.

Of course, these boatmen also do some work of crossing the river. If some people want to cross the Yellow River to the other side, they have to take the boats of these boatmen.

Of course, sometimes they can receive some big jobs. Some tourists like to pay to hire these boatmen and let him drive them along the river to see the scenery.

"Do you want to take a boat?"

Soon, the boat approached, and the old boatman who put it on shouted to the Ye Yaorong couple.

"no thank you!"

Ye Yaorong shook his head and said.

In fact, there is no fun to float on the Yellow River in this kind of boat.

Of course, this risk is also very high. If this kind of boat is on the Yellow River, if it encounters a hurricane or other dangerous situation, if it falls into the Yellow River, the chance of survival is very low.

Because of safety issues, these small pleasure boats on the Yellow River are all illegally operated and are being attacked by political axes. They are not allowed to take passengers on the Yellow River.

However, in the face of interests, many people still operate this kind of business illegally in order to make a living.

Because the land is very sparsely populated here, as long as there are no accidents, basically no one will come to investigate.

"Wife, let's go!"

Ye Yaorong looked at the sky, it was about to dim, and he said to Liu Qingqing.

If you stay overnight at night, it is most dangerous to be by the river. Not to mention the possible dangers of the high tide of the river in the middle of the night, there will be beasts on the river at night to drink water. If you sleep on the river bank, it is easy to be taken away by the beast. .

All the way to the heights of the plateau, the altitude sickness finally appeared.

Ye Yaorong and Liu Qingqing started to have a headache last night and couldn't sleep.

Ye Yaorong's physical fitness is better, but there is no big problem, but Liu Qingqing can't sleep all night, and has a splitting headache.

Liu Qingqing has never tried this. There are many chaotic images in his mind, chaotic, a bit like a dream, and he has not fallen asleep at all.

Fortunately, my husband gave him a temporary pill, and the altitude sickness was much better if he took it.

The next morning, the vehicle was driving on the road to Zhilin.

Zhilin is located in the southeastern part of west Tibet, 430 kilometers away from Lasa, with an altitude of only 2,900 meters. In Tibetan, Zhilin means "throne of the sun" and was called "work cloth" in ancient times.

Originally calculated according to aviation meteorology, the temperature would drop by 7 degrees for every 1,000 meters of altitude increase. However, due to the vast plateau area, long sunshine hours, strong solar radiation, and the warm and humid Indian Ocean blowing along the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, summer is not It is hot and not cold in winter. It is known as "Tibetan Jiangnan" and "Oriental Switzerland".

This is the birthplace of the famous Songtsen Gambo in history.

Ye Yaorong knew very little about Tibetan culture, and even fewer historical figures. But Ye Yaorong remembered this Songtsen Gambo, because he learned it in the history books of junior high school.

Songtsen Gampo was the 33rd Zanpu of the Tubo dynasty and was actually the king of the Tubo dynasty.

During his reign, he moved the capital to more logic, put down the civil strife in Tubo, surrendered Yangtong, unified Tibet, and formally established the Tubo kingdom ruled by slave owners.

He developed agricultural and animal husbandry production, promoted irrigation, ordered people to formulate texts, and promulgated the "Great Decree" governing Tubo to deal with the relationship between the Zanpu royal family and aristocrats, small states, and various social strata, and created administrative and military systems Established official ranks, issued laws, unified weights and measures and taxation systems, promoted the all-round development of Tubo’s politics, economy, and culture, established Tubo’s political, military, economic and legal systems, and introduced Buddhism from the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu .

Of course, these are not as famous as he married a Huaxia princess. In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo went to Baihai to marry Princess Wencheng, the daughter of Tangzong.

The son Ye Glory studied history, and knew that he married Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the Tang sect of China.

If she hadn't taken the Tang Zong's wife Princess Wencheng, it is estimated that there would be nothing about him in the history textbooks of China.

"Husband, are they what people call pilgrims?"

Liu Qingqing looked at the people who were kneeling and kowtow three steps along the way, and asked Ye Yaorong.

"Well, they are pilgrims!"

Ye Yaorong nodded and said.

These pilgrims kowtowed their heads along the way.

The kowtow is a devout ceremony of worshipping Buddha in areas where Tibetan Buddhism prevails.

People who believe in Buddhism firmly believe that the pilgrimage can wash away the sins of past and present lives, add infinite merits, and finally get out of reincarnation and become bliss.

Therefore, on the roads leading to famous monasteries, sacred mountains and holy lakes in Lhasa or Tibetan Buddhism, there are always countless monks and lay believers who bow their heads between heaven and earth and trek to the holy place in their hearts. .

In the long past, the followers of the Buddha came with empty hands and poor clothing and food, begging along the way.

There are three ways to kowtow.

The procedure for kowtow in the march is as follows: first take an upright posture and recite the six-character mantra "Om Mani chant mi hum" while chanting, put your hands together and raise your head high, and then take a step; keep your hands together and move to the front of your forehead. Take another step; put your hands together and move to your chest. When you take the third step, move your hands away from your chest, parallel to the ground, palms down and knees on the ground, then stretch your hands forward and bend your whole body to the ground, tap the forehead lightly. .

Stand up again and start again. The pilgrims that Ye Guangrong saw along the way belonged to this category.

They are a group of people who come together on a pilgrimage. Both men and women wear aprons, sleeves, gloves, and a pair of protective gear similar to shoes on each of their hands, which is used when they prostrate on their knees and worship.

"Husband, let's give them some money!"

Liu Qingqing thought for a while and said.

Before coming to this western Tibet grassland, Liu Qingqing checked the information on the Internet ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ and knew that these pilgrims also accepted people's alms.

"it is good!"

Ye Yaorong nodded, stopped the car, took out dozens of twenty yuan worth of money from his pocket and handed it to Liu Qingqing and said, "You give them charity!"

"Ok!"

Liu Qingqing took the money and got out of the car.

The purpose of this trip to the grasslands of western Tibet is to enable him to conceive a child, so Liu Qingqing will be generous if he encounters a poor person along the way.

The money is not much, only ten or twenty yuan.

It's not that Ye Yaorong refused to give more money, but Ye Yaorong felt that giving too much money was not a good thing, but a bad thing.

There are so many beggars in cities now, but people are too kind and give them too much money, making them feel that being beggars makes more money than going to work in a factory, and it is easier.

So some people will lose the idea of ​​working hard to make money and choose to be beggars instead.

Therefore, Ye Yaorong did not choose to give more money to these pilgrims.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

"The gods and Buddha will bless you!"

Liu Qingqing gave each pilgrim 20 yuan one by one, and these pilgrims said to Liu Qingqing with feeling.

This embarrassed Ye Yaorong, who was standing behind Liu Qingqing.

You have to know that these money are all taken out of their pockets, and these people are not grateful to themselves.

Ye Yaorong looked at these pilgrims, their clothes and gloves were worn out, showing the sincerity of these pilgrims along the way.

These Buddhists believe that in practice, a person has to kowtow at least 10,000 times, and show piety barefoot when kowtow.

"Husband, let's go!"

After sending the money to these pilgrims, Liu Qingqing looked at Ye Yaorong and said.
