837, Lhunju (2/2)
The snow-capped mountains isolated the chaotic war.
In the area isolated by the snow-capped mountains, simple wooden and stone buildings were built on the riverside.
Hundreds of people gathered by the river.
Wujin Jiangqu, Duoji, and the white-haired Quli Guanghaizang gathered around a wooden bed made of rattan and branches, which was covered with a layer of colorful cloth.
They looked silent and did not say anything.
As Wujin Jiangqu, Quli Guanghaizang and others turned away from the wooden bed, the people behind them walked to the wooden bed one by one, and each of them took out a colorful stone and spread it on the colorful cloth.
Wujin Jiangqu and others who walked away from the wooden bed turned into a house next to it.
When various jade ores, lapis lazuli ores, and gemstone ores covered the wooden bed, Quli Guanghaizang, carrying a large black cloth bag and hunched back, returned to the wooden bed under the escort of Wujin Jiangqu and Duoji.
He untied the rope tied at the edge of the black cloth bag, and the black cloth bag slid down a little, revealing a pale, bloodless head.
The head was grayish white, like lime.
The bright sunlight shone on the withered and dehydrated skin of the corpse, and it actually reflected a little crystal clear feeling.
Qu Liguang Haizang's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes were slightly red.
Low sobs were heard from the crowd surrounding the wooden bed.
Wu Jinjiangqu and Duoji, the couple, silently took off the black cloth bag completely from the corpse, and a tall, skinny corpse was completely revealed from the black cloth bag. The neck, wrists, ankles and other parts of the corpse can all be seen with fine and colorful stitches left after suturing.
——The corpse should have died in a very miserable way, and the corpse is likely to be in a state of being torn into pieces.
Although his face was dry and dehydrated, the details between his eyebrows and eyes were enough to make people recognize him - he was Su Wu!
"Master! Master!"
"Master will never come back -"
People looked at Su Wu's body lying on the wooden bed with his back facing up, and the wailing in the crowd could not be suppressed.
Wu Jin Jiang Qu quietly wiped her tears, and she placed another black cloth bag the size of a human head on the right side of Su Wu's body.
She draped a piece of white cloth she had carefully prepared on Su Wu's body.
Wu Jin Jiang Qu took a step back, made the "Guangshan Seal" with her hands, closed her eyes, and moved her lips: "Master, I hope you can go back to your home along the river and be reborn in the future..."
"Master, I hope you can take a boat over the snow-capped mountains, I hope you can enter the heaven, and I hope you will be immortal and indestructible." Duoji followed his wife and also put a piece of white cloth on Su Wu, made the Guangshan Seal with both hands, and made a wish.
Qu Li Guanghai hid behind Dorje, covered Su Wu with a white cloth, made a seal, and said: "Master, the fire you brought has never been extinguished.
I sincerely pray that you can be reborn again when the fire gathers--"
When the white-haired old man finished speaking, he was already crying!
The wooden bed made of rattan and branches was covered with colorful crystal stones. Su Wu's body was lying on the colorful stones with white cloth on his shoulders-the wooden bed was pushed into the turbulent river.
The wooden bed carrying the weight of a corpse and countless stones did not sink into the river instantly.
It carried Su Wu's body down the river.
The wooden bed crossed the small river and merged into the big river. After several turns, when it passed under a towering snow-capped mountain, the wooden bed went upstream and entered the river winding down from the towering snow-capped mountain, and crossed the snow-capped mountain--
The body on the wooden bed did not change from beginning to end.
Never rotted, never decayed.
In the lake under the snow-capped mountains, the wooden bed stopped silently.
The tight rope tied at the edge of the black cloth bag as big as a human head placed on the right side of Su Wu's body slipped silently, and a woman's head covered with dim yellow scales emerged from the black cloth bag, with her eyes and mouth tightly closed.
Under the deep blue lake, dragon shadows were circling.
Those dragon shadows, which were shaped like giant pythons, surrounded the wooden bed.
The woman's head on the wooden bed suddenly opened her eyes!
Her lips moved, but no sound came out, and the many dragon shadows circling around the wooden bed surfaced in an instant - they were huge, some were thousands of feet long and had twelve arms, and some were hundreds of feet long and had eight arms.
These underground dragons covered with water-colored scales spewed out streams of hidden original power, which soaked the woman's head and Su Wu's body.
The wooden bed carrying the two finally sank into the deep blue lake under the impact of the current.
Time flies like a white horse.
The world changes.
Seventy years later, Master Jinglian searched for hidden shadows by the lake and gained enlightenment by the lake, so he engraved a stone to remember and named the lake "Sea of Wisdom";
Two hundred and thirty years later, a serf woman drank water by the lake and became pregnant. She gave birth to a baby girl in November and named her "Lunzhu". Lunzhu had her eyes closed and could not speak since she was born. She finally opened her eyes when she was three years old, but she still could not speak. Lunzhu grew up with difficulty until she was seven years old;
One day two hundred and thirty-seven years later,
Seven-year-old Lunzhu picked up cow dung by the sea of wisdom in the morning and sent it back home.
After that, he returned to the sea of wisdom with some tsampa and a wooden pole wrapped with fine silk threads.
She walked around the Sea of Wisdom and selected an area with lush vegetation. Then she found a stone and placed it by the lake. She sat on the stone. The location she chose was where the lake water flowed, and the shore The terrain on the left and right sides is like a horn protruding forward, forming a semi-open depression.
After Lunzhu sat down, he took out the tsampa from his pocket, carefully took out a small handful, and sprinkled it evenly on the lake.
After throwing a small handful of tsampa into the lake, she mixed the tsampa with the water bag to stir-fry the noodles, kneaded the tsampa into several flat dough balls, and ate them all.
Then, she used a few wooden branches to dig out the moist soil by the lake, and dug out a few earthworms on the spot. Then she picked up the wooden pole she carried on her back, untied the thin thread on the pole, and pulled out the long earthworms. Hang on the hook at the end of the string and drop the hook into the water.
Lunzhu was holding the fishing rod, with little expression on his immature face.
Gazeless eyes looked toward the lake.
She is only seven years old this year, but she already needs to collect cow dung, fish, and do whatever work she can to supplement the family income every day.
Fortunately, Lunzhu is quite talented at fishing. She can catch as few as one or as many as three big fish from the sea of wisdom every day. Her family does not eat fish, so these fish will be bartered with people from the neighboring Tang Dynasty. Some daily necessities and food.
The fishing line that fell into the lake trembled slightly.
Lunzhu's eyes were dull, but she moved quickly with her hands and tightened her grip on the fishing rod in her arms——
The fishing line trembled more and more, and Lunzhu kept retreating, taking the fishing rod with her. She felt the pulling force coming from the fishing line getting stronger and stronger, and the look on her face also changed. Get nervous and serious!
The entire fishing line tightened, causing the fishing rod to bend——
The power coming from the other side of the fishing line continues to increase and shows no sign of weakening.
Lunzhu held the fishing rod, and an inexplicable force came from her body, allowing her to resist the pulling force coming from the other end of the fishing lines and try her best to support it!
finally--
A dark shadow appeared under the lake.
The shadow is getting bigger and bigger,
Getting closer and closer to the lake!
As Lunzhu exerted force again, the twisted black shadow under the lake surface instantly emerged and drifted to the shore with the lake waves!
The moment he saw the black shadow emerging from the lake, Lunzhu stayed where he was.
——This time, she failed to catch a fish from the sea of wisdom.
The twisted black shadow that surfaced was not a fish, but a tall and big man!
The man was wrapped in tattered pieces of cloth, and his face was surprisingly handsome. He pursed his lips tightly, opened his eyes and looked at Lunzhu without saying a word.
Lunzhu walked to the lake, watched his hands sink into the mud at the lake, and climbed up the shore with the help of this strength.
After that, wherever Lunzhu went, this silent man would also go.
——
Lunzhu, a mute girl from the Zhadan family in Chawang Village, picked up a man from the sea of wisdom who was silent, did not eat or drink, and would only follow her.
The man was taller than the eldest son of the village leader in Chawang.
His appearance was many times more handsome than the younger son of the leader.
But he said nothing, did not eat or drink, and would only follow Lunzhu everywhere.
If a person is born unable to speak, he is destined to have a much harder life in the current world, just like Lunzhu. But if a person is not only unable to speak, but also does not even eat - then he will die soon. This is the ultimate principle between heaven and earth.
When the leader learned that the man Lunzhu brought home could not speak, he even thought about making him work for him.
But when he knew that the other party didn't even eat, he downplayed his thoughts.
After all, a person who doesn’t eat will starve to death at some point. He summoned the other person to work for him. Maybe the other person wouldn't be able to work for a few days, and then it would be his turn to collect the other person's body.
The man was taken home by Lunzhu.
He didn't leave the house for more than a month.
Lunzhu's family.
In a whole house made of wood and stone.
My father and mother were waiting at the slightly bright door, eating tsampa.
Lunzhu held her wooden bowl and kneaded the tsampa into three balls. She held the bowl and walked to a dark corner - a man covered with straw who looked like a high chair from a distance. Only when you look closer can you see his face. The young man sat cross-legged in the corner, turning his eyes slightly to look at Lunzhu who was approaching him.
Lundrup tried to open his mouth and put a ball of tsampa into him.
But his mouth was closed tightly, and no matter how hard she tried, it was difficult to open it.
"Don't bother..." Dad, who put his legs on the threshold and was eating tsampa, turned around. Seeing her actions, he reminded her with a smile, "I can't even pinch his mouth, and you can pinch it even more." If you don’t want to open it, Lunzhu, please eat quickly.
If he doesn't eat, it means he's not hungry..."
Lunzhu was stunned, but he also listened to the advice. As expected, he stopped trying to feed the man food and lowered his head to eat the tsampa from the wooden bowl.
Abba looked away, looked outside the door, and suddenly sighed.
Although his daughter seems to be very obedient, in fact, he has to repeat what he just said to her every time he eats.
My daughter can’t speak, and her mind doesn’t seem to be right——
How will she survive when she and her wife are dead?
