Chapter 1555 Embroidery in the Yurt
There was no funeral for Father Kelsang...
It seems like this old man doesn’t need any funeral!
His condor took him to the place he dreamed of!
Aesopan sang in memory of this legendary old man...
Alvin couldn't understand the lyrics she sang, and listened to Aesopan repeating those lyrics again and again...
Until Lin Hai came to them and translated the lyrics in Chinese...
Alvin suddenly understood that this must be the song that Father Gesang usually sang.
Aesopan didn't stop singing until the golden condor completely disappeared...
Wiping away the tears that had not dried on his face, Aesopan showed a strong smile and said to Alvin: "You are right!
My grandpa must have gone where he wanted to go!
He is so tired! "
As he said that, Aesopan looked at Alvin who was smiling slightly and said, "Are you still willing to stay as a guest?
My grandpa prepared the ingredients for mutton in milk pot, and I can also make tsampa..."
Alvin could clearly feel Aesopan's "at a loss"...
She is actually a confused child now, far from the heroic Falcon Knight a few hours ago...
Alvin didn't know whether the sudden passing of Father Kelsang had something to do with his arrival...
But it was impossible for him to watch a girl like Aesopan stick here alone and become the so-called "guardian"!
She needs someone to accompany her so much now!
Especially when he knew there would be danger!
Looking at Aesopan who was a little confused, Alvin smiled and said: "Of course, of course we have to stay!
Can we still live on the grass? "
As he spoke, Alvin spread his hands and said with a smile: "But please forgive me for being rash...
I haven’t smelled the lamb yet, maybe I can come and make a pot of ‘mutton in milk pot’ for everyone…
Although I am not a very qualified cook...
But I believe that the lamb here will make up for my shortcomings in cooking! "
Lin Hai was obviously very familiar with Aesopan. She hugged the Tibetan girl's shoulders affectionately and whispered a few words...
It wasn't until Aesopan nodded that Lin Hai turned to look at Alvin and said, "I'll trouble you, Principal Alvin..."
As he spoke, Lin Hai looked at Alvin's smiling eyes, hesitated, and said, "Dad Gesang left too suddenly. Aisopan really needs our help..."
Alvin waved his hand to stop Lin Hai's request for help. He smiled and said: "We are here to play anyway...
We need qualified tour guides, and I think Aisopan would be great!
I think she can still speak some English, which means she has a good education and she should go to college at her age...
No matter what their family's mission is, I believe that Father Gesang also hopes that his granddaughter will have a bright future! "
As he spoke, a sneer appeared on Alvin's lips, and he said: "In order to give our Lady Condor some time to herself...
I'd love to go where there are monsters.
Living monsters are scary, but there is nothing scary about dead ones! "
Lin Hai nodded gratefully after hearing this, and then pulled Aesopan, who was still a little confused, into the yurt...
When he lifted the door curtain, Lin Hai waved to Alvin and said, "Principal Alvin, come in and try the butter tea I cooked.
Although Father Kelsang died here, he was noble..."
Alvin waved his hand and said: "I'll be here right away, I don't have any taboos...
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking pictures in front of the Celestial Bone Pagoda, besides, Father Kelsang is a respectable person.
He just went to another place..."
Seeing Lin Hai enter the yurt with confidence, Alvin smiled and patted Wu Lie's bald head, who was still immersed in sadness, and then greeted the children loudly...
"Let's go in, sit down, and try some unauthentic butter tea...
You may not know what just happened, so go in and listen to the story.
Aesopan needs someone to share a little of his troubles..."
As Alvin looked at the sheep running freely on the grassland in the distance, he swallowed and said with a smile: "Then we go out and pick a delicious sheep...
Today I will show you how to cook lamb at high altitudes. "
The atmosphere in the yurt was better than Alvin imagined...
Moreover, the decoration inside is as simple as Alvin imagined. This huge yurt of several hundred square meters is actually a large suite with 6 rooms...
In the center is a ring-shaped living room, with a circle of sofas covered with wool blankets surrounding a coffee table, or dining table, carved from a huge stone...
The four walls are hung with valuable "dui embroidery" unique to temples in the snow area...
Alvin had seen this thing in his previous life in the Ta'er Temple, the largest temple of the Yellow Sect in Qinghai.
They usually cut various colored silks and satins into required shapes, such as Buddha statues, figures, flowers, birds and animals, then fill them with wool, and then display them on the curtains...
Alvin was a southerner in his previous life, and he experienced the history of Yunjin’s application as a World Heritage Site...
Compared with the gorgeousness and delicacy of Yun brocade, "Dui embroidery" is famous for its complex materials and long production process.
Perhaps because it was born in a temple, most of the patterns it uses are relatively simple and have religious characteristics.
And because of the unique three-dimensional feel of "dui embroidery", it has more layers and texture after it is finally formed.
The "pile of embroideries" in the yurt are embroidered with scenes of a strong man slaying demons on various large lakes in the snowy area.
Only then did Alvin realize that Father Gesang was not a nobody at all...
"Dui embroidery" is a unique art work of Buddhism in the snow area!
These "pile of embroideries" hanging here must have been specially created by those very influential monks to commemorate the contribution of Father Kelsang and were given as thank-you gifts to Father Kelsang.
While Alvin was paying attention to those "double shows", Wu Lie stood up and walked to a pair of exquisite "duixiu"...
He pointed to a monster with a dragon body and a scorpion tail on the "Duixiu" and said: "My father encountered this back then, and then he met Father Kelsang...
Later I found out that it was called 'Hook Snake'...
Back then, my father was about my age. He heard the legend about the ‘hook snake’ from a herdsman, and wanted to see if the legend was true.
As a result, if I hadn’t met Father Kelsang at that time, I might not be here now!
My father and Father Kelsang jointly killed this big snake, and its skull is still in the collection room of my house. My father’s treasure cannot be saved..."
After hearing this, Alvin walked to "Duixiu" curiously...
The picture on this "Duixiu" is divided into several parts, which tells a complete story...
A Tibetan woman lamented by the lake, and then a majestic man passed by with his giant eagle...
Hearing that there were evil beasts in the lake, the man drew his sword and stood guard by the lake, using his body as bait to lure the "hook snake" lurking in the lake...
When the "hook snake" attacks the man, the giant eagle pounces and the man swings his knife...
After a fierce battle, although the man was covered in blood, he still used his golden eagle to kill the "Hooked Snake".
In the end, the herdsmen by the lake sent a large number of cattle and sheep to express their gratitude to the man for his kindness.
But the man chose only a calf and a lamb, and rode away from the great lake!
This is a typical pattern praising heroic achievements, and it is an art that combines the characteristic murals of the snow area with the "double show".
Maybe it’s because these arts all originate from Buddhism in the Snowy Area, and the whole work has a strong Indo-Tibetan flavor...
The monks who made "Dui Embroidery" used their artistic taste to give the whole "Dui Embroidery" a bit of myth and legend.
"Where is your father?"
Alvin looked at it for a long time, then looked at Wu Lie and said with a smile: "As you said, your father and Father Gesang killed this monster together...
Where is your father?
Don't tell me that people in the snow area will still discriminate against your father..."
Wu Lie shook his head in embarrassment and said: "It's not discrimination, it's because my father was already a member of the Beast Army at that time, and he didn't want to be exposed casually...
and……"
As he spoke, Wu Lie pointed to the part where the "Hooked Snake" came out of the water, and said with a slight embarrassment: "Of course, the one who used it as bait was my father...
Well, he actually couldn’t swim, so he must have been miserable!
Although he didn't admit it, Father Kelsang laughed at him more than once..."
Alvin laughed loudly and patted Wu Lie on the shoulder...
This guy's narration from another angle gave this "mythical" story a human touch...
Moreover, Wu Lie's narration made the image of Father Gesang in Alvin's heart gradually become fuller...
When this old man was young, he must have been a heroic figure...
He ran throughout the snowy area, using his passion to kill monsters for the people living by the water.
Maybe by that time, Father Kelsang had already met that Gemma...
Just because of his youthful spirit and strong sense of responsibility, he abandoned his lover and chose to run around in various waters in the snowy area!
This is a person with "great love" in his heart. Alvin himself certainly cannot do it, but it does not prevent him from admiring such a person!
Even Alvin didn’t want to listen to what Esopan was telling about the life of Father Gesang...
Those are similar to what Alvin guessed, but the stories told by Essopan, who is poor at words, are not exciting...
Alvin was worried that it might deviate from the heroic image he had woven into his father's image...
After just one sip of Lin Hai's butter tea, several children gave up on this special delicacy and gathered around Lin Hai to ask what happened just now...
When Lin Hai put his arms around Aesopan and asked her to tell everyone the story of Father Kelsang, she would act as the translator...
Several children couldn't help but click their tongues after hearing this...
Richard will be amazed at Father Gesang’s will and integrity...
Nick is obsessed with the coolness and magic of the Condor Man...
Little Ginny was shocked to discover that there were so many magical monsters in the world!
…………
Jessica turned on the camera mode on her mobile phone and recorded the legendary life of Elder Gesang. She also captured the expressions of Mindy, Harry, Alita, Fox and Nick one by one...
There is no way, the history of the United States is too short, and the civilization is too thin...
"Dances with Wolves" has become a legend in their hearts...
When they personally walked into the bizarre experience of a legendary story, this group of foreigners felt extremely fresh and curious.
Sometimes foreigners are more obsessed with those myths and arts than the Chinese themselves. It’s really not without reason.
Because they didn’t have it, so they were curious!
And curiosity is the best motivation for learning!
