Chapter 1149 – Alzai Grotto (II)
“Lilu ……”
Just as Zhuang Rui’s few people mounted their horses and prepared to head to Al Zhai Grotto, a steed’s neighing sound came from the distance.
Seeing Zhuang Rui lose his white horse, Uyun Qiqige, who had been a bit sullen, suddenly shouted, “It’s Little White, it’s my Little White coming back.”
Sure enough, along with Qiqige’s shout, Little White ran this way from a distance, especially when he saw Zhuang Rui and the others, he even raised his front hooves to the sky and hissed.
“Xiao Bai, miss me to death, brother Zhuang Rui is a big bad guy, will never let him ride you again, eh? Little white, little white ……”
Wuyun Qiqige jumped down from her own horse, affectionately wrapped her arms around Xiao Bai’s neck, who knows that Xiao Bai is not very buy for her old master, after sticking out her tongue and licking Wuyun Qiqige’s small hand, she actually bumbled to Zhuang Rui’s side.
“Pfft ……”
After sneezing, Little White affectionately arched Zhuang Rui with his big head before lowering his head to Chasing Wind again, a gesture of a horse showing submission to its leader.
“Little White can also be called a Thousand Mile Horse now.”
Zhuang Rui stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Bai’s head, it seems that after the grooming of his own aura, Xiao Bai’s body has also been greatly improved, otherwise it certainly wouldn’t have been able to catch up so quickly, knowing that those wild horses with amazing stamina haven’t had a single one run back up to now!
“Wow ……”
Zhuang Rui did not expect the little white and his own make out a little bit, actually led to the Wuyun Qiqiqi cried, can not help but a little puzzled, just now this little white did not come, Qiqiqi to drop tears, now run back, and is crying which ah?
Just Zhuang Rui do not know, Wuyun Qiqig just will be small white worry half a day, now the small white came, but on Zhuang Rui performance than her master is still intimate, the little girl suddenly a little acceptance.
After knowing the mind of Qiqige, Zhuang Rui a little crying and laughing, after thinking for half a day, said: “Qiqige, or …… I will chase the wind to you ride, how?”
Qiqige also felt that she cried a little shame, raised her head and said loudly, “Don’t, I ride my own little white.”
“Good, then let’s compare and see who gets to the Hundred Eyes Cave first, okay?”
Zhuang Rui smiled at the words, he kinda liked this stubborn little girl, straight forward, not pretentious at all.
“Don’t want it, know that your chasing wind runs fast.”
Wu Yun Qiqi Ge wiped away her tears, skimmed her mouth and said, the little girl is innocent by nature, but it doesn’t mean she is stupid ah! Anyone who saw Chasing Wind’s performance that night, racing with Chasing Wind, that was purely looking for abuse.
“Hehehe, how about this! I won’t participate, how about you ride Xiao Bai and Bartel’s big brother than?” Zhuang Rui said with a smile.
“Little White can’t run against Big Brother’s Red Blood either, Brother Zhuang Rui netted a bad idea.” The little girl angrily waved her little fist at Zhuang Rui while using her handkerchief to help Little White wipe the sweat from her neck.
“Kiqiqi, Little White ran fast yesterday, it doesn’t have to be slower than Red Blood!”
Zhuang Rui continued, he also wanted to see if the white horse that had been transformed by his own aura could compete with Red Blood in terms of speed?
“Really? Alright! Big brother, let’s compare.”
Wuyun Qiqiqi also thought of what happened the night before, Zhuang Rui was able to ride Little White to catch up with the Sweatblood Horse, which meant that Little White’s speed wasn’t too slow, but why the white horse would run so fast in just a few days, the little girl didn’t think much about it.
Bartel this day was chasing the wind stimulation is not light, also want to horse vent some of the depression of the heart, immediately opened his mouth to agree: “good, who first ran to the Guanyin Daoyuan, even if who wins.”
“What Guanyin dojo?”
Zhuang Rui was about to ask, the race has already started, not only Bartel and Wu Yun Qi Qi Ge, even Peng Fei and Timur also ran out on their horses, of course, Peng Fei rode the yellow bit in the first hundred meters, was in front of a few people far away to leave behind.
“Let’s go!”
After the first few people ran out for four or five minutes, Zhuang Rui gently clamped Wind Chaser’s abdomen and slowly followed, Wind Chaser seemed to know Zhuang Rui’s state of mind and did not run at full speed, but even so, it quickly caught up with Peng Fei.
“Peng Fei, is it cool to ride a mare?” Zhuang Rui laughed out loud and ran past the depressed Peng Fei.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountain run dead horse, Al Zhai grotto look very close, in fact, from Zhuang Rui and others just stayed in the place, a full one to twenty kilometers away, in front of a few people sympathetic to the horse power, and did not completely let go, enough to run for half an hour, only to come to the “hundred eyes” grotto under.
“Zhuang Rui brother, I ran to win big brother ah! Really ran and won, Xiaobai is so powerful.”
Zhuang Rui just came to the side of Bartel and other people, the ear came Uyun Qiqiqi’s excited shouts, the little girl although running a head of sweat, face is very excited, and constantly with the hand stroking the body under the small white.
“How is it? Kiki Ge, is brother Zhuang Rui still the big bad guy? Your little white can all be tempered by me.”
Zhuang Rui smiled at his words, deliberately pulling the credit towards himself, he did this instead of making Bartel and the others suspicious in their minds.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, a depressed Bartel opened his mouth and said, “Little White is an authentic Yili horse, it was traded by me with forty sheep, ready to be used as a stallion, now it should have its bones unfolded, but I didn’t expect it to be able to run over Red Blood.”
Little white originally pedigree is good, just the age is still young, so to Wuyunqiqig ride, in Bartel’s stable is not the most able to run the horse, but just now some performance, but let Bartel impressed.
As for what Zhuang Rui said to teach and so on, is automatically filtered out by Bartel, what a joke, this only a day or two of work if you can teach the little white into this way, that Bartel really want to worship Zhuang Rui as a teacher.
“Bartel big brother, this is the Guanyin dojo you said?”
After Zhuang Rui successfully diverted the sight of Bartel and the others, his attention was completely drawn to the building in front of him.
In the three to four hundred meters directly in front of Zhuang Rui, there was a very large scale building complex, the building was surrounded by pines and cypresses, lush and green, blue sky and white clouds, green trees and red bricks reflected each other, just like a pleasing landscape painting.
Bartels said Guanyin dojo, built in this picturesque and elegant environment, from a distance, such as a lion lying quietly in the pine forest.
Inside the dojo, the five-colored bands picked up by the scripture streamers, fluttering with the wind, from time to time came bursts of pleasant chanting sound, the golden Tibetan scripture tower towering in the air, in the sunlight irradiation radiant, more solemn and bright.
Zhuang Rui did not think, far away from the dilapidated and unbearable around the Hundred Eyes Cave, but also built such a magnificent complex, and then wait for Peng Fei shouting to come, will be sent to the horse at the dojo’s horse corridor.
After entering the Guanyin dojo, Zhuang Rui realized that this is a modern temple, suddenly interest is greatly reduced, after a cursory look, through the Guanyin dojo, came to the entrance of the Hundred Eyes Cave.
Into the hundred-eyed grottoes, in order to feel more intuitively its extraordinary place, in the high around the ground about 40 meters in the precipitous cliffs, the distribution of large and small grottoes, at first glance, that a hole, as if it was weathered out of the general.
Aar Zhai grottoes have “Dunhuang on the grassland,” said in the Chinese grotto culture occupies an important position, has been listed as a national key cultural relics protection units.
Because the grottoes are badly damaged, the original has been closed to the public, but Timur and the management of this place is very familiar, plus Zhuang Rui Beijing University Institute of Archaeology’s documents also played a role, and ultimately a few people still entered the grottoes.
After watching the three grottoes, Zhuang Rui could not help but let out an exclamation: “Here is really not worse than the Dunhuang grottoes, in the mural color matching, and even Judea ah!”
Alzai grottoes within the murals, mostly colorful, to green, red, black, blue, white, yellow-based, pigments for minerals, there are some after Zhuang Rui identified, now extinct, after hundreds of years, these murals are still mottled as new.
More than twenty murals in the front, most of them are paintings expressing important religions such as the Western Xia Shakyamuni and the statue of the Bodhisattvas who made offerings to the Buddha, and the Yuan Dynasty Buddha Ceremony map, and the style of the murals shows that this place was once the meeting place of major schools such as the Black, Red, Flower, White and Yellow Religions, showing the history of the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in Inner Mongolia.
“Fortunately, the little girl didn’t follow, this Buddhism is not all good inside, the practice of Joyful Zen that Buddhism talks about, is it not letting people release the desires of the heart?”
When observing the twenty-eighth grotto, what is painted inside is a picture of a man and a woman in dual cultivation, a man and a woman with magnificent colors, full of mysterious atmosphere, at the background halo of some pictures, even made of gold and platinum, drawn extremely beautifully, looks opulent.
Zhuang Rui for Buddhism and Taoism have some research, relatively speaking, he is more like Taoism no beginning and no end, Taoism born of the idea of all things.
This idea at least does not lead to human behavior fanaticism, at least Taoist priests can be married, than those who hang the head of a sheep to sell the meat of the meat of the wine and meat monks much stronger.
Of course, in today’s Buddhism and Taoism are both declining, many ancient temples and Taoist temples, have also become the place of enrichment for these people outside the party, perhaps only some remote places to preserve the true teachings.
When walking to the top of the grottoes of the first grotto, Zhuang Rui stopped in his tracks, in the entrance to the grottoes, inserted a stone Sulerd spear, next to the explanation of the text shows that this is a symbol of the invincibility of Genghis Khan.
And the two vertical trenches chiseled into the stone wall in front of the door were where Genghis Khan had sat shooting arrows as he recuperated from his wounds at Arzai.
“Hm? This …… this is the Genghis Khan Family Worship Chart?” After walking into this grotto, Zhuang Rui’s eyes were firmly attracted by the mural on the wall.
The mighty man sitting on a high platform in the mural should be Genghis Khan, and his three wives and the four sons who later started the golden family were sitting next to each other, accepting the people’s worship.
