Chapter 16: That Smile of Satisfaction

Lhasa, in front of the Potala Palace on the Red Mountain.

"Lin Xi, those shabby clothes on their bodies should be formed by the reason why they have been kneeling for a long time. Standing beside him, looking at the pilgrims, Krystal finally couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it is said that in the old days, there were no such clothes and protective gear. Therefore, many elderly people lost their lives on the way to the pilgrimage, but even so, no one has retreated. But now times have changed, and in order to prevent these pilgrims from getting hurt, they specially prepared these protective gear for themselves. Even so, the leather goods and shoes on their knees only saved them from the pain of flesh, and the fatigue caused by prostrations and walking for a long time could not be avoided, but perhaps they did not feel tired at all. We saw that their clothes were dirty, and their hands were dirtier, but their hearts were cleaner than any of us. ”

Lin Xi nodded, and after finishing this passage with emotion, he folded his hands, looked in the direction of the Potala Palace, and bowed reverently. Although he did not bow down, for Lin Xi, sincerity is spiritual.

Krystal, who was next to him, was also shocked after listening to Lin Xi's words. Then after seeing Lin Xi's actions, he also followed suit, and his face was indeed very strict and firm.

Lin Xi and Krystal, who had been shocked by the pious pilgrims for a long time, finally set off towards the Potala Palace, but at this time, Lin Xi turned off the camera, because he knew that he would not take pictures inside. As for the tickets, he had already booked them the day before yesterday. Because tickets for the Potala Palace need to be booked one day in advance, otherwise there will be no tickets without you.

The main building of the Potala Palace is composed of two parts, the White House and the Red Palace, and after Lin Xi and Krystal walk in, walk up the stone steps, and Seoul enters the White House. This White House is naturally not the White House of the United States, but the Winter Palace of the ** Lama, which used to be the seat of the local government office in Tibet. The main hall here is nothing to see, it is full of modern atmosphere, so Lin Xi and Krystal also simply walked around and went to other places.

The halls of the main hall are not pretty. However, some of the small halls and corridors that run through the two wings are very full of Tibetan characteristics. It is beautifully furnished and richly furnished, and there are murals on the walls that are about Buddhism and the like. Looking at those murals, Lin Xi's eyes were a little amazing. The whole person also lost his mind for a moment, and then he actually called Krystal to the wall and told her to stand there quietly.

Lin Xi himself came to the opposite side to look at the picture of Krystal and the mural, the look in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally smiled lightly. A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xi's mouth.

"What's the matter, what are you laughing at?" Krystal asked with a frown after seeing Lin Xi's smile.

"It's okay, I just thought of something. Let's go, let's go shopping. Lin Xi's smile at this time was very proud and very happy.

Krystal was very depressed when he saw that smile, but he couldn't do anything to make Lin Xi embarrassed here, so he had no choice but to snort coldly, shake off his temper and go to the front by himself.

"Xiujing, where are you going? There's nowhere to go over there. But Lin Xi didn't know if he was intentional, and after seeing Krystal's little willfulness, he said this sentence with a smile. Then Krystal's body, who walked straight forward, stiffened, and his angry little expression suddenly froze on his face. After a few breaths, he turned around and returned to Lin Xi's side, stepped on Lin Xi's foot hard, and threw a word out through gritted teeth.

"Bastard. ”

The Red Palace outside the White House is mainly a number of Buddha halls, as well as the spiritual pagoda of the ** lama unique here. Speaking of ** lamas, it is natural not to mention the reincarnation of the spirit child, a unique inheritance method of Tibetan Buddhism. Because in this Red Palace is the largest and most magnificent. It belongs to the spiritual pagoda of the fifth ** lama.

At this time, Lin Xi and Krystal have also come inside, the inner wall is full of murals, the most famous and the most people are watching is the mural of the fifth ** Lama to meet the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Looking at the murals one by one, Lin Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter. The hands of the whole person are also unconsciously moving, and the pictures and drawings in his mind flicker in them.

The Potala Palace is not too big, nor is it small. But after a morning, it can be regarded as a general visit to Lin Xi and Krystal, except for some deep corners that cannot be entered. After a lap, Lin Xi and Krystal were also tired. The Potala Palace is beautiful from the outside, but when you go in and climb up to watch, you'll know you're tired, because there are some set times for you to climb to a certain position to change tickets to another palace. This situation made Lin Xi and Krystal very tired.

However, now that the tour has been completed, the situation has disappointed Lin Xibi a little when he was outside. Because of the interior of the Potala Palace, except for some temples or halls, there are few characteristics that Lin Xi can really remember. This has to be said to be a little flawed, but this flaw can be completely erased from what Lin Xi has gained here.

Thinking of this, a satisfied and happy smile appeared on Lin Xi's face, and his fingers gently rubbed the temples on the side of his head.

At noon, the two of them found a restaurant with a good reputation in the ancient city to eat the special meals here, and then continued to explore several other scenery in this ancient city.

For example, the golden dome of the Jokhang Temple, the shop pΓΉ on Bajiao Street, the beauty of the forest garden in Norbulingka, the murals of Sera Temple, and so on. However, due to the free afternoon, the two of them were not able to completely see all the places in the entire ancient city, but the rest of them did not have very special places and scenery.

After shopping in the afternoon, the two of them finally couldn't stay up. You know, now in the high-altitude area of the plateau, there are not a few people like them who have exhausted their bodies. So Lin Xi and Krystal went back to their lodgings to rest at 7 p.m.

I plan to rest until dark, and then go to the Potala Palace Square to see its night view up close. There are also the sincerely pious, crowded prayer turning procession and kowtowing procession, and it is said that their situation will continue until midnight.

By the way, I forgot to mention that it usually gets dark at 9 o'clock in the evening here in Lhasa, so the pilgrimage procession of a long-headed prayer turning pilgrimage like theirs doesn't really end until at least 11 o'clock at night. So Lin Xi and Krystal were given some time to rest, otherwise if they ran around like this all day, they really wouldn't be able to keep up.

After all, the oxygen content of the plateau is too low, and for travelers like Lin Xi and them, they have already begun to gasp after only a little activity. (To be continued.) )
