Wild donkeys and antelopes ran under the setting sun. The mountains were like the undulating waves of the sea. Everything around them was desolate and quiet.
The reorganized troops decided to move toward the nearest town in the south, Angren Jincuo, tomorrow. The monks Ada and La Mo were treating the wounded and sick. The clothes that had been torn by the wolves were made of wild yak hair and repaired with bone needles made of cow and sheep horns. The rest of the people peeled off the animal skins of the dead animals and cut them into leather tubes to keep out the cold. The dead were placed on the high ground, cut into pieces, and crushed with stones. They lit a fire and smoke, attracting vultures to peck at them.
In the evening, everyone sat around the bonfire to keep warm.
All life has a soul, and we call the soul stupid. " Ada explained," The physical body of one life being eaten by another is a kind of transformation. Life flows endlessly in this process. We cannot interfere in this situation, but if it is not for the sake of eating, such behavior is regarded as evil by Umabodhi, the sister of the river god, Ginja, and the daughter of the mountain god, Shimavat. Please remember.』
" So you saved the wolf and not those people. " Eos shook his head with a bitter smile.
" Everything will die. The woman I saved yesterday, even if she escaped the poisonous mushroom this time, she won't be able to escape the time and years that will come. Age, disease, and death will still follow. Ada stared at the dancing flames in the bonfire and continued,"" In the beginning, the gods of the south lived with the people of the world and used their own strength to help everything in the world. They defeated the demon army again and again and established a prosperous, beautiful and rich country. However, death would eventually devour everything. As time passed, the gods of the south chose not to help the living and hid in this world, allowing everything to fall into darkness. Only the merciful Umabodhi, the goddess of our Snow Mountain, still pitied all living beings.
" She borrowed the authority to change the time of life from Shiva, who was cultivating in Mount Kirosa. She searched for good souls at the top of the world and distributed this authority to alleviate the pain of the world. She made a contract with these people who did good deeds and limited the scope of their authority. She guided these Khenpas to gather in the New Year's Qu wheat to build a holy place, a library of scriptures about authority and knowledge, and a shelter to help the homeless and sick.』
How can I be chosen by her? 'asked Eos.
" She observed the behavior of people when they were young. If someone showed compassion and love for a rat rabbit, marmot, or snow chicken from the age of twilight, that person would obtain the right to accept the final test before the fire of the mulberry tree.』
What test?』
" Umapachi will manifest in the fire and divine for the person who is undergoing the trial. A vision will appear in the fire, showing what the person will do in the future. According to the contract, if the person is deemed good, the fire will be extinguished and turn into a flash of light that enters the subject's body. The subject will obtain the right to enter the Sutra Library to learn the sacred knowledge that the Umapachi has made. After that, as long as the subject slowly cultivates, he will obtain the power of authority and become a Khenpo. He will also be graded according to his good roots and continue to improve. However, they would always follow the scope of the contract and do good deeds to help the weak until death. From the earliest Dunbasin who made a pact with her to us today, everyone is like this.
If the fire foretold evil deeds in the future, the fire would become more and more intense and eventually devour the trial-taker.』
"That would be terrible.』
" Yes, so in order to avoid such an outcome, the Great Khenpecs of the Sanctuary will first conduct a round of screening among the orphans and volunteers in the sanctuary.』
The waning moon and the starry sky looked down at the earth. Eos fell into deep thought. The power to revive the dead, the library that stored sacred knowledge, and these pious and great lives that walked on the mountain to save the suffering, could this be the end of the journey that Mother had hinted at? Could that be Akashic's library? He didn't know, but he decided to go back to the sacred place of Maxiu with the two monks and accept the test to become a Khenpo and gain the right to enter the Sutra Depository. He decided that no matter what the outcome of the trial was, he would go because this was the closest he had ever gotten to the answer.
A month later, the team arrived at the town of Qumai.
After bidding farewell to Tashi and Gyatso, Eos followed the two monks up the mountain to Manri Temple. It was a magnificent white building complex built on the mountain. It was scattered and integrated with the hill. There was a fence wall outside the stairs, which was divided into three pavilions, the upper, middle and lower pavilions, and a side pavilion. The upper pavilion was the main pavilion, with high walls made of stone. The main Khenpecs gathered there for meetings and cultivation. The middle pavilion was the Sutra Pavilion, and the lower and side pavilions were the sanctuary and hospital. On top of the mountain was the Simmering Mulberry Fire Platform. Along the way, they could see children adopted by the temple running and playing, and monks walking side by side in long robes.
Ada brought Eos into the main hall and explained the situation to the old Khenpecs. No one here had heard of Akashic.
Why do you want to become a Khenpo? asked the oldest Khenpo Chiba.
'To save my mother. 'Eos said firmly.
'It is a sin to seek power for one's own benefit. Khenpo Chiba shook his head.
'Is saving a person's life also evil?』
" If you resurrect your mother who has been dead for more than ten years, you will have to strip away countless parts of the body that have become other lives. If you turn back time and rebuild your mother's body, you will have to kill thousands of lives. You do not have the right to go to Siming Mulberry Terrace to accept the trial. Please leave. 'said the old man.
" Please, give me a chance. I must enter the Sutra Library. My father and I have traveled thousands of miles and spent our entire lives searching for this place…It might be here…My mother's last wish before she died…Ah, I beg you, I don't want the power to reverse time. Please let me enter the library. Please let me find the seven stories, and I'll leave immediately! " Eos begged in horror.
Please leave. The old man had no expression.
Ada persuaded Eos to leave, and the two of them came to the monastery's door. At that moment, snow began to fall from the sky. Ada said that he would send him down the mountain, but Eos thanked him and refused, saying that he wanted to walk alone. After Ada left for a while, he suddenly took a few steps forward, but he quickly turned around and knelt down.
Snow as heavy as goose feathers fell from the sky. Soon, the snow had accumulated to a foot high, covering the knees and calves of Eos Kavso. His eyebrows and beard were also dyed white. When the fluffy snow carpet covered the buildings on the hill, people saw that someone seemed to have built a snowman in front of the door. The cold wind at night became even more biting. Everyone returned to their houses to take shelter. It snowed heavily for three days.
Three days later, when the sunlight parted the gaps in the fog and the dark clouds dispersed, the golden light melted the ice and snow. Only then did people see a half-naked dead man kneeling in front of the door.
Khenpo Thousand Waves looked at the deceased and said softly,"" Alright, I'll give you a chance.』
Everyone came to the mulberry platform at the top of the mountain. The shaman lit a fire and began his ritual.
Thick smoke began to rise from the five-colored Wind Horse Flag that was fluttering in the wind. The Shaman threw a few pieces of dough that were made of butter mixed with highland wheat flour into the fire. The dough had a clay-like texture and various shapes. He began to chant an incantation and spun around the bonfire in a counterclockwise circle.
The Great Khenpecs stared at the bonfire, waiting for the appearance of a phenomenon.
Eos Kavso stood firmly in front of the flames.
The shaman chanted an incantation," Hummazhi Muyesalaidu, Hummazhi Miyesalaidu... Ah, Goddess of the Snow Mountain, Umabodhi, please come down and tell us how to distinguish between good and evil of this man. Please tell us, who are foolish, whether he is qualified to share your authority..." Suddenly, a gust of wind that came from nowhere rose, and the shape of the fire began to dance wildly, becoming more and more erratic.
'She's here. " Ada and the others whispered. At the same time, they lowered their heads and made a respectful gesture with their hands.
Eos knew that after the phenomenon, if the flames were extinguished, he would be reborn. If the flames gradually grew bigger and eventually devoured him, he would die forever.
He lowered his head and prayed silently.
Everyone waited for the strange phenomenon in the fire to appear.
Suddenly, the wind stopped completely, and all sounds disappeared. The fire was neither extinguished nor continued to grow, and nothing unusual happened in the fire.
The shaman stopped and stared at the bonfire in horror. Everyone held their breath, waiting for him to give an answer to this situation that had never happened before. At this moment, it was as silent as death.
'She's gone. After a long time, the wizard said,"She only left one sentence." He stared at the stranger standing before the fire and continued,'He didn't, the future.』
