Chapter 119: The City of Daylight

The lively bonfire song village finally ended in the hearty laughter of the herdsmen, looking at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, Uncle Kampot saw that they were all driving luxury sports cars, worried that the road would not be smooth so late, so he asked his wife Sona to clean up the room and invite Ye Qing to spend the night in the big tent, but Xu Zimo declined.

When the group drove back to their residence, it was close to twelve o'clock in the night, and after each took a hot shower, they all went back to their rooms to rest.

After a good night's rest in the city of Litang, the next morning, everyone got up and was obviously in good spirits, Shi Lei drove the Hummer to the nearby snack street to finish breakfast, and then hurried to Lhasa.

This is the last leg of their trip to Tibet, and if there are no accidents, after a few days in Lhasa, they should be ready to return.

Lhasa is located in the middle of the Tibetan Plateau, at an altitude of 3,650 meters, making it one of the highest cities in the world.

This is the world-famous city of sunlight, the ancient name is "Jalan Sa", the Tibetan "goat" is called "Jay", "soil" is called "Sa", it is said that when Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married to Tubo in the seventh century, here is still a barren grass beach, after the construction of Jokhang Temple and Jokhang Temple fill the pond with goat's back soil, after the temple is built, the missionary monks and the people who come to the Buddha increase, around the Jokhang Temple has built a lot of hotels and residential houses, forming the prototype of the old city with the Jokhang Temple as the center.

At the same time, in order to welcome Princess Wencheng into Tibet, the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo expanded the palace in Hongshan and established the Potala Palace, commonly known as the "Second Putuo Mountain".

As a result, palaces were built on the plains of the Lhasa River Valley, and prominent plateau cities were formed, and "Jassa" gradually became a "holy place" in people's hearts, and became the center of Tibet's religion, politics, economy, and culture at that time.

In the impression of ordinary people, Lhasa is composed of the Potala Palace, Octagonal Street, Jokhang Temple, Sera Temple, Drepung Monastery and Lhasa River, but Tibetans believe that "Lhasa" in the strict sense should refer to the Jokhang Temple and the octagonal street built around the Jokhang Temple.

"Zhenzhen, Qing'er, Weiwei, Sister Li Min, you are finally here."

It took nearly forty hours for Ye Qing and the others to finally arrive at the holy land of Lhasa, and when they arrived at the designated meeting point, they saw Shangguan Qingqing running over as soon as they got out of the car.

"Hey, Qingqing, when did you arrive?"

Kuang Zhenzhen took off her backpack, flipped through it a few times, took out a string of turquoise polished blue bracelets, and stuffed it into her hand with a smile: "Here, this is a gift from Litang for you, what's it, it's enough for sisters, right?" ”

Shangguan Qingqing smiled: "I arrived yesterday afternoon, and the old class ordered me to rest and rest, so like you, I haven't started shopping yet." ”

As she spoke, she opened the small bag she was carrying, took out many small jewelry from it, and said, "Come, this is a return gift from Tashilhunpo Monastery, one for each person, and it will never be lost." ”

After a period of greetings, Ye Qing asked Shangguan Qingqing about their itinerary plan after arriving in Tibet, only to find that the route drawn up by the head teacher was basically the same as the goal she had in mind, which was to go to Bajiao Street, the most famous turning road and commercial center in Lhasa, and then go to the Jokhang Temple for a stroll, and then go to the holy city of Potala Palace to pay homage before leaving.

Located in the center of the ancient city of Lhasa, Bajiao Street is the most intact street in Lhasa, it is not named after the shape of the street, but a transliteration of the Tibetan word "Pako", which means to surround the street near the Jokhang Temple.

According to Tibetan Buddhists, circumambulating the Jokhang Temple as the center is called "turning the scriptures" to show the worship of Shakyamuni Buddha enshrined in the Jokhang Temple, so the Octagonal Street is actually often called the "turning the scriptures".

Walking on the way to Bajiao Street, Ye Qing finally saw the Tibetan worship ritual that Xu Lao had described to her a long time ago.

They start from different places, but they go to the same destination, most of the people who believe in the gods, most of them will choose to use worship to express their inner piety, but the worship of Tibetan Buddhism can no longer be described by the five bodies to the ground, more precisely, it should still be the six gods bow.

Every step of the way, bow once, no matter whether the feet are mud or sand, whether the sun or the wind and snow are overhead, in the eyes of the Tibetans, they adhere to only one direction, that is, the Jokhang Temple.

Ye Qing stood on the side of the road, quietly watching them bow and worship, it is not difficult for careful people to find that these worshippers have a stone in their hands, and every time they kowtow, they put the stone there, and the next time they kowtow, they pick up the stone from here and prostrate their whole body again, and put the stone where their hands reach, and the place where the stone is placed twice, the length of the distance between them is just the length of the body.

Seeing this, she finally understood why the Tibetans said in Xu Lao's notebook that the Tibetans use their bodies to wind the path of worshipping the Buddha and use their minds to measure the distance to heaven.

Look at these people, the clothes on their knees are clearly worn to tatters, but on their faces, there is only calm, without a trace of worldly irritability.

This alone makes every B University graduate deeply understand a kind of shock and awe that originates from the valley of the heart after witnessing it with their own eyes.

"That's the power of faith."

Ye Qing looked at the golden temple in front of her, and her eyes suddenly became a little deep and a little lonely.

"Under the Bodhi tree in the Jokhang Temple, someone who knows the answer will be waiting for you there."

In Ye Qing's mind, a serious sentence from Lama Sam naturally emerged when she left Litang Temple, which may have been influenced by the attitude of the Tibetan people around her to worship the Buddha.

"Flutter, Chengcheng, you see these people are really boring, don't you see that the ground is so dirty? It's like a child, and his face is sloppy and wasted his expression. ”

There is a good saying that no matter where the person you hate, you will always be so annoying.

Just as everyone was immersed in this tranquility and felt the nobility and sincerity of Tibetan Buddhism, a chuckle appeared in the crowd very abruptly.

"Sloppy?"

Li Wei is urgent, she doesn't need to look back, she can guess who is yin and yang just by hearing the voice, and snorted coldly at the moment: "What are you afraid of, your appearance is sloppy, at most you will be clean, it is better than some people, and if you are dirty in your heart, even if you drift for a lifetime, it will not be white." ”

"The world is as black as a crow, what kind of feet are worthy of what kind of rest, Weiwei, you don't know yet, this is called smelly." Kuang Zhenzhen glanced at Lin Cheng with disdain, and said with a sneer.

One of them almost made Jiang Yuan so angry that he vomited blood on the spot: "Hey, Li Wei and Kuang Zhenzhen, what do you two mean, I wasn't talking about you just now, why are you ......?"

Stomping her feet, she simply followed Guan Qingqing and complained: "Squad leader, squad leader, you come over to comment first, who did I recruit to provoke someone, did the two of them divide the friendship of classmates like this?" ”

"Divide classmates' friendships?"

Li Wei pursed her lips and replied casually: "Classmate Jiang Yuan, don't you think this hat is too big?" Besides, we didn't name you just now, what are you anxious about? ”

"Exactly? Are you trying to prove to us what it means to be 'self-aware'? ”

Kuang Zhenzhen blinked, and said innocently: "If that's the case, then I'm sorry, it seems that I should go back and applaud you, after all, you have explained this old saying thoroughly enough." ”

"What, you ......"

Jiang Yuan bit her lower lip tightly, she pouted and said coquettishly: "Chengcheng, look, I'm really innocent, they all joined together to bully me." ”

As for Lin Cheng, from the moment he saw Ye Qing appear in the morning, his eyes basically never left her.

To be honest, Lin Cheng's mood is really complicated now, for the sake of his future, he resolutely abandoned the gentle and kind Ye Qing, and instead pursued Jiang Yuan, who has an identity and background, and now the two have finally achieved positive results, not only engaged to marriage but also have children, but he is not happy at all, especially every time he sees Ye Qing's face that is captivating the country and the city, he always has a feeling of being stuck in his throat.

Why?

The answer is so simple!

Don't look at Jiang Yuanming, she always likes to pretend to be a good girl on her face, but in private, she is willful and rude and vain, and she always likes to put on a score, she doesn't admit that she has done anything wrong, and she talks about her mother's family at every turn, as a man, Lin Cheng can only be angry with her everywhere, and her personal friends know about it, and when he eats and dinners, he laughs at him for being a typical wife and slave, and he has no manhood at all, so that he can't raise his head in front of others.

So he couldn't help but think of the days when he was with Ye Qing before, although she didn't look as good as she is now, she was well-behaved, and she always centered on him, compared with Jiang Yuan, she was simply in the sky and on the ground.

He was really blind to pick the wrong person.

Now when he sees the beautiful and dusty figure in the crowd, there is a burning desire, and he is stupid in his heart.

Although Lin Cheng knew that Ye Qing would not take a fancy to him now, after all, those men around her, if they picked one out, no matter their background or appearance, they were undoubtedly ten times better than him.

However, no matter how good her life background is, no matter how handsome her appearance is, what is the use of her body, never expect to be handed over to others: "Stinky *, you wait, you will be good-looking tonight!" ”

He wants to make all those who have trampled on his dignity pay for what they have done.

Under the faint light of the Buddha, no one noticed that a trace of hideous brilliance quickly flashed in his eyes, which was so out of place compared to the solemn atmosphere around him.
