It was almost noon when we set out from Guxiang lake. Because the camping meeting had just ended, Hu Hai had a lot to do. Li Yang didn't disturb us any more, so the micro channel said goodbye and left.
On his way to Bomi, he stopped, prepared to have lunch there, and then went on.
Just after parking, Li Yang saw a mother page with a group of page and George picking up garbage at the door of the hotel.
When Li Yang checked the strategy before, he saw that there were many black pigs on Bomi street. Sure enough, big pigs and small pigs could be seen everywhere.
Other places are full of stray cats and dogs. It's the first time Li Yang has seen stray pigs on the street. Although he has seen one or two stray pigs on the streets of other counties when he came here, he has never seen so many, and they are all family by family. It's really spectacular.
In Tibetan areas, people's worship of faith is deeply rooted and inviolable.
So no matter in the temple or on the street, the position of life is supreme, whether he is a stray cat, a stray dog or a stray pig.
If you think that pigs without owners can be slaughtered and eaten, you will be miserable. If you don't do it well, it will cause the group's anger.
For devout Buddhists, no matter people or animals, as long as they are pregnant, they are not allowed to strangle their lives artificially.
This reminds Li Yang of the butcher in the movie gangren Boqi. In order to survive, he has to kill cattle to earn money. However, he suffers from inner torment every day. He feels that he has killed so many cattle. He is sinful and afraid of retribution. He can only rely on wine to paralyze his nerves and go to sleep every day.
Later, in order to be able to clean up the sin, we set foot on the road of worship together.
The power of faith is so powerful that if it is used in the right place, it can make a desperate person regain hope.
If used in the wrong place, it will also create a group of lunatics who are paralyzed by the spirit.
Of course, most of the beliefs in the world teach people to be good. It gives many people faith and strength, and helps them to support many sleepless nights and many life difficulties.
Although Li Yang has no faith, he respects faith and admires those who have faith.
After starting from Bomi, Li Yang embarked on the journey to Linzhi. Except after Bomi, the road conditions were very good, basically smooth asphalt roads. Along the way, the mountains and fields were covered with lush vegetation, full of vitality, and even gave people a sense that Linzhi is indeed the richest land in Tibet.
After driving for a while, Li Yang suddenly saw some pilgrims who did not know where to start and kowtowed their heads.
They wear simple clothes, leather things on their chest, knee pads on their knees, holding guard boards in their hands, reciting words in their mouth, putting their hands together, holding their heads high, throwing themselves to the ground, making a round trip to the land of the Holy Spirit in their hearts.
Li Yang once saw those pilgrims in the movie "gangren Boqi". They started from their hometown thousands of miles away. After years of menstruation, they had a good meal and drink dew, and they were heading west. They were plagued by sand, stone, ice, snow, rain and wind, and they were not only in the course of their faith, but also bent on kneeling to their destination. It's really unbelievable for them to do so for several months.
Li Yang couldn't understand this kind of behavior in his heart when he watched the movie. After all, he was not a devout believer.
But at this time, seeing their devout figure and firm expression, Li Yang was really shocked. What a strong belief and perseverance can he achieve.
I don't think many people in my life circle can do it. At least Li Yang thinks he can't!
Of course, words can not be too absolute.
If someone says to give 10 million or 100 million to make people walk a thousand miles, it is estimated that many people will crush their heads to do it.
So it's sad to think about it!
The world I live in seems to be different from here.
Money is the belief of many people in their own world.
However, here, in the face of real faith, money may really become dirt!
Li Yang can't help sighing the strength of faith again.
Out of respect, Li Yang didn't use his mobile phone to photograph these devout pilgrims. Instead, he drove slowly past them and showed them respect and admiration for their behavior.
After driving a long distance, Li Yang saw another line. There were men and women, old and young, with a farm truck pulling a load of camping supplies in front of them.
It looks almost the same as what he saw in the movie. Li Yang guessed that they all came out of the same village together. They should have gone a long way to see this battle.
But what attracted Li Yang's attention was that there was a local dog in the pilgrimage line. It was thin, almost the same as the pilgrims, and covered with dust.
It has been following a little girl who looks like she's 11 or 12. The girl stops and kneels down. It also stops. The girl stands up and goes on. It goes on. The picture is moving.
Li Yang deliberately slowed down the car, followed them for a while, and even couldn't help recording the scene with his mobile phone video.All of a sudden, the group stopped, then sat on the side of the road to have a rest, waiting for the slow walker.
Li Yang also stopped the car, took some mineral water, passed it to the pilgrims, and said, "zaxidler!"
The leader of this line of pilgrims said some Tibetan language that Li Yang didn't understand with a smile, just a sentence that zhaxideler Li Yang understood.
But look at their expression, it should also be some words of thanks.
"Where are you from?" Li Yang asked with a smile. In fact, he was trying to see if anyone could speak Mandarin.
But these people can't understand Li Yang's words. Only two of the younger men understand Li Yang's words and speak a poor Mandarin at the same time.
But Li Yang didn't understand where they came from, because he didn't know the place name at all.
"How many days have you been away?" Li Yang asked again.
"Two months!" One of the men said and took a sip of the water Li Yang gave him.
Li Yang was shocked. He had been kowtowing for two months. In fact, Li Yang wanted to ask more about their pilgrimage, and he wanted to know what kind of wishes and beliefs they had.
But think about it and swallow back, afraid that they do not understand some of their cultural customs, no offense to them.
At this time, the little girl who walked at the back also caught up with him. She came to Li Yang and looked at him curiously, but she looked shy.
The little girl is very lovely. Her eyes are big, very bright and pure. But her skin is dark and dusty because she sleeps in the open air.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Li Yang's heart is actually quite complicated. He doesn't know what to say or what to express. He only hopes that one day, faith and civilization can be well integrated, or complement each other, to make this place better.
But maybe it's just his wishful thinking. There are thousands of lives in the world. I can't measure their happiness with my own values.
Li Yang took out some chocolates from his pocket that he used to fill his hunger and supplement his blood sugar on the road and handed them to the little girl.
But the little girl stepped back and waved her hand.
"You can have a piece of this when you are hungry on the road!" Li Yang said with a smile.
The man who just spoke to Li Yang said something to the girl in Tibetan. The girl reached out and took the chocolate in Li Yang's hand and said thank you.
Li Yang discovered that she can speak Mandarin.
"What's your name?" Li Yang asked.
"Slondroga!" The girl replied.
"Is that dog yours?" Li Yang took a look at the dog following the little girl.
The little girl nodded, then shook her head and said, "it's something I met on the road. I gave it some food, and then it's been following us for more than a month!"
Li Yang suddenly, it turned out to be a stray dog, but looking at its appearance, he has determined that the little girl is its owner. He followed her devoutly all the way. Maybe in the dog's life, loyalty is their faith.
