Chapter 15 The Origin of the Devil
"No, I'm just staying here temporarily and learning Geba's words. After a while, I might come to the temple to ask for advice." Yang Yulong shook his head and said, "He would never do such a thing as lying to the green-robed waiter. He has believed in the god of nature since he was a child. The waiters in the temple are all sacred in the hearts of the mountain people.
What's more, the hunter's living habits and tools at home are very different from those of ordinary mountain people. Anyone with discerning eyes can tell at a glance that there is nothing to say about this lie.
The speaker nodded slightly, and his eyes moved to the stone table. The appearance of the corona was too special and it was impossible not to be noticed.
"Little brother, I wonder what this thing is?" The waiter in the green robe spoke a lot colder.
Yang Yulong shook his head and said with a confused look on his face: "I don't know, this thing was there when I came. It didn't look like an ancient thing, it should be the original owner's thing."
The blue-robed waiter looked much better. The corona was not an amazing thing. It was found in the temple, but the person who invented this thing was the legendary devil. Ordinary mountain people could not recognize this thing. It seems that the devil had lived in some places.
The temple waiters didn't know much about the legendary devil. In the early years, the temple issued a pursuit order, but no one was found. It has faded over the years. If the Dongba King and the Great Dongba in the temple are not mentioned, the waiters below will naturally not work hard.
What's more, although the land area of Naxi Star is not large, there are many mountains and few plains, with large land and few populations, so it is not easy to find people. Those senior waiters have more or less heard of some rumors about the Devil Dongba, and that person is not easy to mess with. Not to mention not seeing people, even if they really see them with their own eyes, smart waiters will pretend not to recognize them.
The waiter in the green robe is not old, but he heard a lot of rumors and his mind was quick. Seeing Yang Yulong saying he didn't know him, he nodded and said, "Little brother, can we three pass by here, can we stay for a night?"
Yang Yulong nodded repeatedly: "Of course, it's great, please come into the house." The temple waiters have a very high status in the hearts of the mountain people, even higher than the Dongba status of the village. The temple waiters will definitely receive extremely high courtesy when entering the village, but the temple waiters rarely leave the temple, so they rarely have the opportunity to receive temple waiters.
If you could see the temple attendant in normal times, Yang Yulong would definitely admire him, but at the home of the Devil Dongba, there were some problems. Who knows when that guy would come back? If you run into the temple attendant, there would definitely be trouble. Moreover, if these three people stayed, Yang Yulong naturally could not continue to practice the temple attendant's exercises.
It has been a while since he went up the mountain. He was almost sleepless and he was learning the magic of the Gods and Assistance. He took a break and studied the Geba texts well. It was funny to think about it. He originally just wanted to learn the Geba texts, but now he has not learned much in writing, but he has learned the magic of the Gods and Assistance that is not recognized by the temple.
Yang Yulong liked to learn Dongba's writing since he was a child, and Geba's writing had some contact before. In his memory, there were indeed these words behind the statues of the Twelve Divine Assistants in the temple, but they were just the way to interpret them, which was completely different from Gesida.
After settling down the three waiters, Yang Yulong swept the ground in the courtyard, picked up a thick wooden branch, and wrote it on the ground. The Geba text is completely different from the Dongba text. The Dongba text is a hieroglyphic. When you see the text, you can guess at least three points of the meaning. However, the Geba text is a completely pictographic character. If no one teaches you, you don’t know what it means.
Fortunately, he was used to the Geba writing behind the Twelve Gods. Although he wrote it for the first time, it seemed to be similar. In a short while, he had already finished two articles.
Behind the window of the stone house, the waiter in the green robe retreated to the kang, sat cross-legged, nodded slightly and said, "It's the God's Sutra. It seems that he is really learning Gebawen."
Another older man opened his eyes: "Well, I seem to have seen this young man in the temple once before, and it seems that he was learning Dongba language at that time."
The three of them nodded at the same time, and their doubts were reduced by eight points. Although the temple is equal to the mountain people, anyone can enter the temple to worship at any time, but they want to ask the Great Dongba in the temple for advice, proving that this son has achieved great success in the Great Dongba in the temple. The three of them are not qualified to be guided by the Great Dongba in the temple.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Yang Yulong prepared a simple breakfast. The temple waiter accepted the worship of the mountain people. It was supposed to be. Yang Yulong felt it was natural that the waiter in the green robe would not be polite.
After breakfast, three green-robed waiters stood up to say goodbye. The waiters in the temple usually had tasks to walk out of the temple. Yang Yulong did not try to keep him, and provided some dry food.
When the three of them walked away, Yang Yulong breathed a sigh of relief and took out the book to continue training. There were many legends about the Devil Dongba, but few people knew about the grudges between him and the temple.
Before he could start training, Gesida appeared at the gate of the yard: "Are they leaving?"
"Well, did you see it?" Yang Yulong asked back. The big Dongba Shenlong was not in sight. He was practicing in the stone house for about five months, and he had only a few days to see him.
When he came here, Yang Yulong was always very busy. After a little time, he had to check the comparison between Gebawen and Dongbawen. After reading it, he continued to train and had no time to think about anything else.
If you think about it occasionally, you will become more and more confused. It is said that Gesida is disrespectful to God and is a devil, and he is determined to believe it. When teaching his mind power, Gesida mentioned the most that the guardian of the Dharma, how could he disrespect to God?
"You should know that others call me the Devil Dongba, but few people know why it is called it. In fact, it is very simple to say, because I have different understandings of the Gerba scripts from other Great Dongbas. The Gerba scripts I understand are inherited from the ancestors and are completely different from those from other Great Dongbas. You still have the opportunity to consider whether to learn Gerba scripts from me."
After Gesida finished speaking, she threw out a thick book in front of Yang Yulong. After picking it up and turning it over, Yang Yulong understood that this book was produced in the temple, and it was written in the comparison between Gebawen and Dongbawen. The first one was the scripture behind the Twelve Gods that I had learned before.
It is completely different from what I have learned before. These twelve articles are translated into Dongba characters and become legends of the twelve divine servants, including the names, experiences, supernatural powers, etc. As expected, they are completely different from what I have learned before. It can be said that there is no similarity.
"How could this happen? Which one is right?" Yang Yulong asked with his head raised, saying his psychological words. He would rather believe in the translation in the book in his hand now. After all, the legend of the God of Nature and the Twelve Gods has been familiar with since childhood.
Gesida shook her head and said, "I don't know which one is right. I have been teaching you since elementary school. I have done it according to the above. I have never stopped for decades, or I don't know which one is correct, but the result after I follow it is obvious."
Gesida walked to the stone table and placed two different versions of the Twelve Gods' Sutras side by side on the stone table: "Although my Gebawen explanation is called the Devil's Word by the Temple, in fact, the Temple is also studying my Gebawen explanation and is still learning it."
"What? They are learning too?" Yang Yulong asked in surprise. Since it is defined as the devil's words by the temple, there is no hurry to be prohibited, how could he learn as well?
Gesida's lips raised lightly, with a faint smile. It was the first time in several months that Yang Yulong saw him smile: "If the translation is just different, they can of course directly say it is the devil's word, but if this translation brings not only different meanings, but also the use of the impulse, and tastes the sweetness, even the devil's language, they will learn it."
"Does there be many people studying?" After a while, Yang Yulong realized that he was really a ghost. The temple actually learned what they thought was the devil's words?
"Many, but not many people can persevere. As far as I know, there are no more than ten people in the temple who can really use their mind power."
Yang Yulong blinked, not seeing him as young and active, but he is not stupid. He knows how many people in the temple can use their mind power. He understands very well that the relationship between the devil Dongba and the temple is very ambiguous.
"Let's go, it seems we have to move." After saying that, Gesida walked into the stone house, and there was nothing to take away except for a little food. It was indeed much more convenient to have a skateboard, especially when walking on the mountain road.
Moving is common for Gesida, and she has lived in this small stone house for a long time. Yang Yulong was confused, but he didn't ask any further questions.
Since Gesida has something to do with the temple, why is she rejected by the temple? Since the temple has some tacit understanding with him, why do she keep moving and hiding?
What he couldn't understand the most was why he had to learn the power of mind and why he had to fight when living in Naxi Continent? What's the use of fighting?
Gesida does have his own understanding of Geba. Geba is a square character, which is different from Dongba. If no one teaches it, you will not understand what it means. Relatively speaking, Dongba is much simpler. Some words can only guess a few meanings by looking at the appearance.
Each Geba word represents a different meaning. When two Geba words are combined together, they will have another meaning, three characters, four characters... More words are combined together, and the meaning is different. Learning Geba word is indeed tens of millions of times more difficult than Dongba word.
Gesida was very proficient in Geba's words. At least there was almost nothing he didn't know about Geba's words he understood, but he could only understand it. He could not read a single word. The temple not only had his own understanding of Geba's words, but also had different pronunciations.
The new residence is also not too far from Yulong Snow Mountain, and it is also a mountainous area. Looking at the somewhat simple wooden house, there are all kinds of things inside. It seems that Gesida has a lot of points to settle in and can move in without having to clean up.
After sorting out the wooden house, Yang Yulong began the unfinished training again. The movements of the Twelve Divine Assassin increased six times, but Yang Yulong knew how long it was, and he didn't think it was too difficult. It was much easier than at the beginning.
