It is said that a long time ago, there was a village in the west of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that was infested by evil wolves all year round. The wolves in the village "robbed and robbed homes" and did all kinds of evil. Many families fled away from home to avoid the disaster.
There was a young man among the people who stayed behind. He relied on his own efforts to make defensive tools, but he was so weak that he could not defeat the wolves with just two fists and was unable to eliminate the wolf problem.
This perseverance moved God. One night he had a strange dream. In the dream, an old man told him that a man and a dog would pass by here in a few days. He should entertain him well. Before leaving, if the visitor wanted to When giving him a gift, other expensive gifts must be declined, but this dog must be accepted no matter what.
The young man woke up and was doubtful. A few days later, a man passed by the village with a female mastiff dog.
The young man followed the instructions in the dream to eat, drink and serve him well. When the man left, he wanted to give the young man something to express his gratitude. The man followed the old man's advice and only asked for the mastiff.
The visitor told him that the mastiff was about to give birth, and that there were nine babies in a litter. Do not feed the puppies after they were born. He should just take them away from the mother mastiff and put them in the pen and let them fend for themselves. The last one left could help eliminate the evil in the village. Wolf plague.
After a while, as the man said, the female mastiff gave birth to nine sons. The young man put the puppies in a cellar and let them fight with each other.
One of them is very different. It sleeps all day long and does not participate in the fight. It is precisely because of its "no struggle with food" that it avoids all fights and becomes the last survivor.
The young man took it out. The mother mastiff had enough milk and water to feed Jiuzi, but now it was just allowed to eat. The sufficient food allowed the puppy to grow up quickly like a calf, so the young man gave it a baby. A domineering name called Wushuang.
Wushuang's body bones grew bigger and bigger, and the food fed by the young man could no longer satisfy its appetite, so Wushuang went out to hunt on his own. The size of the prey ranged from small to large, starting from small animals such as rabbits until one day he took home a small animal. A wolf was killed by it.
Everyone knows that wolves are spiritual and have a strong revenge mentality. A few days later, the wolves besieged the village. The young man led the female mastiff and Wushuang and rushed towards the wolves. After a fierce battle, the wolves left countless corpses and fled. , the female mastiff also fell down with serious injuries. Wushuang watched her mother close her eyes and rush out of the village with a roar.
The young man thought Wushuang had left, but unexpectedly the next day, he returned to the village with wounds all over his body. It turned out that he had not left the young man, but had gone deep into the wolf's den alone to avoid the wolf problem forever.
From then on, he took Wushuang all over the west alone. They were found wherever there were wolf plagues. In the process, Wushuang mated with the local Tibetan mastiff, leaving behind offspring to continue to protect the area.
In the end, both the young man and Wushuang died on that plateau. In order to commemorate this silent patron saint, the locals called Wushuang the Tibetan Lion.
But later someone found records about Tibetan lions in "Erya. Shihu", which described "a dog four feet tall is a mastiff. Mastiffs are derived from lions, and their many limbs and hair represent the reincarnation of their ancestors."
It should be noted that although the exact year of publication of "Erya" is unclear, its approximate scope can be determined from the Warring States Period to the early Western Han Dynasty.
Therefore, this book is considered to have been edited and compiled by scholars from the Qin and Han Dynasties. The sources of its writing materials are mainly books from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In fact, there are indeed sporadic descriptions of Tibetan lions in ancient books of similar eras, but unfortunately they are all unclear. Unexpectedly, the historical romance "Records of the Kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" was later written in the Ming Dynasty. Its historical timeline spans from the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the unification of the six kingdoms by the Qin Dynasty, including the historical stories of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for more than 500 years.
In the fiftieth chapter of this book, "East Gate Sui aids the Japanese, Zhao Xuanzi Taoyuan strongly remonstrates", there is such a description, "There is also a fierce dog imported by the Zhou people, called a lion mastiff, more than three feet tall... .."
It is not difficult to see from two books written in different periods that both mentioned "mastiffs and lions", and both mentioned specific rulers.
Due to changes in dynasties, the length of the same 1 foot also varied from dynasty to dynasty. In the Qin Dynasty, 1 foot was about 23 centimeters, "four feet for mastiff", about 92 centimeters; in the Ming Dynasty, 1 foot was about 31 centimeters, "three feet tall" ", about 93 centimeters. Comparing the two times, the two are basically consistent, and the dog of more than 90 centimeters has verified the sentence "big as a donkey". First update@
But this is obviously inconsistent with the Tibetan Mastiff's "Tibetan" attribute, so Jiayong Kang was in his twenties. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 920: Consistent with speculation
Many years ago I went to Tibet in person to find out.
During this trip, he saw Tibetan lions with his own eyes in many temples located in deep mountains and old forests, and the local living Buddha lamas helped him verify the sentence mentioned in "Erya" that "the ancestors with many limbs and hair are reincarnated and have a new life." explain.
Of course, this argument is not enough to convince Jiayongkang. After all, from the perspective of scientific research, such ambiguous statements will still be classified as folklore, and the words of faith believed by the living Buddha have no influence on the world. For those who do not have similar beliefs, they are also talking about chickens and ducks.
However, the old living Buddha who was over a hundred years old took him around a lot of other temples, and he saw more than 30 Tibetan lions in total.
Then the living Buddha explained to him: What you see are the hybrids of Tibetan lions and Tibetan mastiffs, which are far from the true bloodline of Tibetan lions, and this breed has long been severely degraded.
As he spoke, he took out a bone that looked like the bones of an ordinary mastiff, and added: This is the remains of a legendary Tibetan lion, and only the Living Buddha can feel the power of faith in it.
After that, he waved his hand and raised a puff of mist. This mist was originally invisible, colorless and odorless, but the old living Buddha raised a handful of dust from the air in advance.
And the power of faith he mentioned quickly disappeared into the corpse in just the blink of an eye.
After a few minutes, the mist disappeared, but a thick layer of dust adhered to the broken bones.
The old living Buddha then explained: Only the bones left by our ancestors can absorb the power of my faith. The so-called Tibetan lions and their ancestors you saw before do not have this ability to absorb.
Moreover, he also said that his Taoist mentor once told him that if a certain type of female mastiff can show interest in the power of faith, he can keep it with him all year round to feed it with the power of faith. It is possible that after pregnancy, a real Tibetan lion with atavistic blood will be born.
Jiayongkang finally added: "So, what the Tibetan herdsman named Tsering Lasuo you just told me about fits seamlessly with the information I got! I want to remind you in particular. The most important thing is that based on my own experience and the later confirmation from Tibetan translators at the time, the power of faith shown by the old living Buddha does indeed exist!"
Liu Qingshan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and with a flip of his hand, he released a ray of energy.
But he does not need to use other substances to show the existence of the true energy. Instead, if the temperature of the true energy rises instantly, a cloud of mist visible to the naked eye will naturally rise.
In fact, he had already judged from Jiayong Kang's narration that the quality of Qi of the hundred-year-old monk was actually similar to that of Fan Shengyang, Jiang Yuze and others, who had not yet entered the innate stage of initial condensation of Qi.
After entering Xiantian, it is actually very simple to change the intangible into the tangible. Just a thought can change the true energy in the body into the desired form.
Of course, what Liu Qingshan can currently do is only distinguish between hot and cold. If you want your true energy to truly achieve infinite changes, that can only be achieved after establishing the foundation, and you need to further develop the sea of consciousness.
Although the nature of his true energy and the willpower of his mind have transformed in advance, and he has opened up a new world in his mind, there is still some distance between him and the real sea of consciousness.
Only the sea of consciousness is opened up, the product of the combination of one's own consciousness, thought power, and spiritual power, to perceive the energy of the outside world and then transform it from true energy into spiritual power.
Mental power is the main driving force for the transformation of true energy, so Liu Qingshan currently has some mental control to change the form of true energy.
For Jiayongkang, who knew nothing about cultivation at this time, of course he could not distinguish the reality of existence such as true energy, but it did not affect his senses and cause abnormalities.
In addition, Liu Qingshan deliberately wanted him to know the existence of Qi, so he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his sockets the next moment.
So he subconsciously exclaimed: "That living Buddha made me feel this vague momentum at that time, and there was a clear feeling of oppression in it."
Liu Qingshan smiled and explained to him: "That old man has similar spiritual power to me, but my realm is slightly higher. I can use other methods to make you feel its existence."
Jiayongkang has lived a long time, instantly. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 920: Consistent with speculation
Immediately he understood the implication of Liu Qingshan's words. The man opposite him achieved his goal without using any auxiliary means. It was clear at a glance which of the two was superior.
Liu Qingshan immediately followed: "None of this is important. I just want you to understand that that person is definitely not making things up. There are some things that only we cultivators can feel whether they are true or false. Using true energy, we can also It is the power of faith that the living Buddha said to prove the Tibetan lion's pure ancestral bloodline, which is more effective than all exploration methods! Because Senge has the ability to automatically absorb the true energy, do you understand?"
Trying to make his consciousness clear again, Jiayong Kangcai sighed: "This corresponds to my guess! After listening to my granddaughter's description before, I seemed to notice something different about Senger. Of course, I just Referring to its unique appearance, Mr. Liu now understands why I have been struggling with the necessity of these surface features, right?"
Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded. Without this story, he would not have shown his true energy, otherwise he would not be convinced based on the difference in appearance alone. First update@
It's just that he didn't say what he was thinking, because Jiayongkang could naturally understand these with his life experience.
"I wonder if that living Buddha has told you how to train such a ferocious beast? You may not know that I have been too busy recently. It is impossible to bring it with me on some occasions, but I will definitely leave it to others. You’re going to get emotional!”
Liu Qingshan explained helplessly. .
