Chapter 98 Mystery 2

Jian Liang said: "The rebellion of the Three Kings is a matter of time, but such an unexpected advance, according to Huang Lao Yingying, should have a great deal to do with Li Ruchuan. When Li Ruchuan was rescued by the five lamas of the Red Sect in the Western Regions, he returned to the Western Regions, and after being treated by a stranger, Li Ruchuan did not know what secret he discovered, and he brought it back to the original, prompting the King of Hanyang to urgently raise troops to rebel. Those five lamas may be able to know a thing or two about this matter, they had previously gone to the original to receive the holy relics, so I knew them, so I came to them this time, hoping to know some of Li Ruchuan's experience after coming to the Western Regions, and to find out the reasons for his restoration and the rebellion. ”

Fang Guochuan sighed at this time: "This matter is incredible, there are many incomprehensible points, if the original rebellion is really related to Li Ruchuan, he will be a sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people." ”

Fang Guohuan shook his head again and said, "But with his own strength, how can he make the King of Hanyang raise his troops to make it difficult?" Could it be that the secret he discovered could really have the advantage of King Hanyang taking over the world? No, there may be another reason for this. ”

Luo Kun said: "Since the eunuch has been treated by a stranger and recovered his chess strength, he may have realized what kind of mystery in chess, the so-called world is like chess, and the original situation is like chess, Brother Fang can use chess to turn into military affairs, set up troops, and be better than the two armies, then Li Ruchuan may be more able to change the way of chess and judge the time to seize the power in the world, otherwise he has no other skills, and can only become a strategic chess skill in chess." ”

When Fang Guochuan heard this, he nodded and said: "This kind of possibility is not nothing, the chess path is broad and profound, the ultimate can be through all things, and the strain can be in everything, Li Ruchuan can't dominate the world on the chessboard, so he will mess with the world with chess outside the chessboard, but can he get through this game of chess in the world?" ”

Luo Kun said: "It's because he can't get through, so he walks in a mess and messes up the world." Jian Liang shook his head and said: "This kind of great ability is not something that Li Ruchuan can achieve, although he has learned the evil art of killing people before, it is only limited to the evil and righteousness in chess, and then he was abolished by Brother Fang on the chessboard, even if he is rescued by a stranger and his chess strength is restored, the chess realm can no longer be improved to the realm where everything can be changed, this person's heart is not right, how can he achieve this supreme cultivation." ”

Fang Guohuan nodded and said: "Brother Jian is right, this kind of supreme realm that penetrates the world with chess is not yet attainable by you and me, and Li Ruchuan can't do it himself." It seems that Li Ruchuan can get such a high degree of respect from the King of Hanyang, and he actually worships as a national teacher, there should be another reason, that is, it is related to the big secret he discovered, which is an insoluble mystery. There is also a mystery that the stranger who treated Li Ruchuan did not know whether he was an immortal or a god, when the Yellow Crane Tower, Li Ruchuan was injured by the killing power of chess, his five organs were damaged, and his mind was completely wasted, even if he did not die, he was a useless person, and he was hopeless, but he did not expect to be cured by others, which is incredible. We should find out these two mysteries, we should find out the five lamas, especially about the so-called big secret discovered by Li Ruchuan, which is related to the rebellion of the Three Kings, and we must find out about it, although it will not help the original situation, but also find out the cause, and when we return to the original in the future, we will find an opportunity to find Li Ruchuan, and use this matter to force him to stop and go into hiding, and not to help the evil. ”

Luo Kun said: "As long as you find the five red-clothed lamas, all Li Ruchuan's experiences in Tibet will be self-evident." ”

Jian Liang said: "I have been in the Western Regions for more than a month, and I have not been able to find the Red Sect people, let alone the location of the five lamas, I heard that Lhasa City is a gathering place for Lamaist monks, so I looked for it, hoping to find out the news of the five Red Sect Lamas, I don't want to meet Brother Fang and Lord Luo, I am really lucky." ”

Fang Guochuan said: "Tibet is vast and there are many monasteries, and it is really difficult to find out the temples where the five Red Sect lamas live. By the way, a few days ago, I learned about an Anmu Lama of the Jokhang Temple, this person has a peculiar identity and a very high status, he should know about the Red Sect, and go to him to ask for some news, he will be able to tell us. ”

Luo Kun listened to it and said: "Yes, I went to him, I didn't expect that there are some benefits to knowing this lama, he has a good impression of the two of us, go and ask him for help, and he will give him some advice." When Jian Liang heard this, he was also happy. At this time, it was getting late, and the three of them were ready to go to the Jokhang Temple tomorrow. That night, Jian Liang and Fang Guochuan talked about their feelings after saying goodbye, especially the great changes in the past few years, and they were very emotional.

Early the next morning, Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun left Zhaba's house and came to the Jokhang Temple. When he arrived at the temple gate, Luo Kun went up to call the door, and the previous Luoga Lama who was guarding the door came out to see Fang Guolian, Luo Kun, and a strange young man, knowing that he was visiting Anmu Lama, his attitude was not as arrogant as the first time, and he welcomed the three of them into the temple gate with a smile on his face, and let Yu sit in the gatehouse on the side first.

The Gurga Lama then whispered a few words to the other lama, who looked surprised, glanced at the three of them, and hurried away. At this time, Lama Luoga smiled and said, "The three noble donors wait a while, I have already made people worship the living Buddha." Luo Kun smiled and nodded.

After a short time, I saw the previous lama running back and said respectfully to the three of them: "The Living Buddha has a decree, please invite the three donors to come in and meet each other." After speaking, he led Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun out of the gatehouse, and walked along a long corridor full of murals to the front of the side hall, which was not the first time Fang Guohuan and Luo Kun came. At this time, the lama said to the three people: "The living Buddha is inside, and the three donors are please." ”

The three of them entered the hall and saw that there were three statues of the Standing Buddha, the Kneeling Buddha and the Reclining Buddha, and their expressions were peaceful and solemn. At this time, the little novice from before greeted him, gave a salute, pointed to the side door, and said, "The living Buddha is waiting inside, and the three donors are invited to enter." With that, the little novice bowed and retreated.

Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun entered the door, and inside was a spacious inner room, at this time, Anmu Lama was sitting, and when he saw the three of them coming in, he put down an ancient book in his hand, and said with a smile: "There is another donor today, very good!" Three, but please sit casually. ”

Fang Guochuan knew that although Lama Anmu had a special identity, he was a well-informed person who was not formal, so he stepped forward and bowed: "I brought a friend here today, and I would like to ask the Living Buddha for guidance." ”

Lama Anmu looked at Jian Liang, and couldn't help nodding and said: "The cultivation of this benefactor is extraordinary, it can be seen that the three of them are the dragons and phoenixes of the Han people, and they can come to the Jokhang Temple together, which really makes this seat very happy, and it is rare to meet a wise person." Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun each gave a salute and sat on the cushion on the side.

Jian Liang said at this time: "Teacher, there is something to ask for advice today, there are five lamas who can recite the 'Brahmana Mantra' in unison, can the teacher know?" "Oh!"

Lama Anmu was surprised and said: "The donor is talking about the five 'Fulong Venerables' of the Red Sect, the five Venerables live far away in the Western Regions and rarely come into contact with outsiders, but the donor knows them?" Jian Liang said: "These five lamas once went to Yuan to look for a sacred relic lost by their teachings, and I had the opportunity to help them a little, so I got acquainted. ”

"That's right," Lama Anmu nodded, "A few years ago, I heard that these five Venerables left the Western Regions and went to the Plains, and later welcomed back the Kunwu Sword, an artifact artifact of the Red Sect. This Kunwu knife has been lost for hundreds of years, but I didn't expect to find it from the Han land, which is really a miracle. Hearing that this Kunwu knife is an artifact between heaven and earth, it has the nature of 'shaking when encountering the earth, and escaping when entering the water', and the ancestor of the Red Sect, Guru Padmasambhava, once held this knife to sweep away the demons in the world, making it more supreme mana. It's a blessing to be back to my old religion this time! ”

Lama Anmu continued: "These five 'Fulong Venerables' of the Red Sect live far away in the Ganlan Monastery of the Great Snow Peak of Kunlun Mountain, where the mountains are high and snowy, the people are inaccessible, and the road is far away, and there are many difficulties and obstacles, and it is not easy to find there. Hearing the whereabouts of the five lamas, Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jian Liang said: "There is an extremely important thing today, we have to find those five lamas, even if there is great difficulty, we have to find it." ”

When Lama Anmu heard this, he paid homage to the three of them, nodded and said, "The three donors are not afraid of the difficult and dangerous road, and they went to find the Ganlan Temple of the Great Snow Peak of Kunlun Mountain, and they really have important things to do. In this case, I will help you go back, and in two days the Japanese temple happens to send a team of monks to escort a batch of scriptures to the Taer Monastery in Xining. The three donors insisted on going to the Kunlun Mountain, so they went with the monks of the temple along the way, and there was a response, and the seat turned back and said to the temple. Otherwise, the three donors will go hastily, even if they are not killed by wolves and bandits on the way, they will lose their way on the vast plateau, and it is very easy to freeze to death and starve to death, and it is very dangerous to travel on this snowy plateau. ”

Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun were overjoyed when they heard this, and they hurriedly thanked Anmu Lama, and then made an appointment to go to Kunwu Mountain with the monks of Jokhang Temple two days later. Then the three of them took their leave.

Back at Zhaba's house, Fang Guohuan saw that the horses and tents he had used when he had accompanied the Indian caravan were still available, and there was no need to equip them separately, just prepare some food and water. Luo Kun found the second housekeeper Danba and told him that he was going to Kunlun Mountain in two days.

When Na Danba heard this, he was surprised: "Aren't the three of you in a hurry to wait because the road is impassable, and you want to take a detour back to Handi?" It's not worth it. Along the way, there are thousands of mountains and rivers, not to mention the time-consuming days, and there are many hardships and dangers on the way. Maybe you are halfway there, and the rebellion in Han will have ceased, and the roads leading to Yunnan and Sichuan will be opened. The three of them were a little impatient on this trip, so they had better wait a little longer. You are friends of the caravan of the Karen family in India, and if you stay for a longer time, the lord and the chief butler have already instructed you to take special care of a few of them. ”

Luo Kun listened and said with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of the housekeeper, the three brothers didn't want to take a detour back to Handi, but went to Kunlun Mountain to do something important, and then they will come back." And he walked with the monks of Jokhang Temple. "Oh!?" When Nadamba heard this, he was quite surprised.

Luo Kun then gave Danba a few handfuls of silver coins and said, "Please also ask the housekeeper to prepare more food and warm clothes for us to use on the road, and I will give you the rest. Danba saw that Luo Kun's silver money was generous, and knew that he was a rich man, so he happily agreed: "Three of you, but please rest assured, I have taken care of everything, and your room is still reserved for you, just store the things that are inconvenient to bring in the house, and put your mind at ease, and there will be no shortage of them." The butler then went happily with some doubts.

Two days passed. Early in the morning, Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun were ready for a long-distance trip. Luo Kun hid the bag of jewelry in a hidden place, and took some for himself to spare on the road. The butler Danba had already equipped his horses and locked the door in front of Luo Kun. Fang Guohuan said hello to Wang Yongan, Hu Qing and several other businessmen, saying that they were going out to run errands and might be delayed for some time.

Later, a monk from the Jokhang Temple came to call and told him that the traveling monk team escorting the scriptures was waiting outside the city. Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun said goodbye to the Danba butler, and led the horses with their equipment to the outside of Lhasa.

Outside Lhasa, not far away, there is a group of monks who are about to travel far away, more than 20 mules and books are full of bundled goods, except for some travel items, most of them are the scriptures transported by the Jokhang Temple to the Ta'er Temple. There are about 50 monks in this trip, except for a few old lamas, all of them are some strong, majestic and armed armed young lamas, who are the warrior monks of the Jokhang Temple, responsible for protecting the safety of the monks and goods.

A leading lama named Tang Ge greeted Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun, and respectfully bowed and said, "The three are the distinguished friends mentioned by the Living Buddha of Anmu." Fang Guolian and the three of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The lamas of the monk team were all surprised when they saw the three of them, and they didn't know how the three of them joined their traveling monk team through Anmu Lama, which was something that ordinary people couldn't do, and they were still three young Han people.

After the two sides saluted, Lama Tangge said: "The Living Buddha of Anmu has specially explained that if the three distinguished guests have anything to do on the road in the future, please ask for our full help, please rest assured, we will bring you to Kunlun Pass safely." When the three of them heard this, they were very grateful to the Na Anmu Lama, and thanked him to the Tang Ge Lama. Then the three joined the monk team and began a long journey to Kunlun Mountain.

In the first ten days, all the things you see along the way show the vitality of the snowy plateau, the blue sky and white clouds, the snow-capped mountains and clear water, the shallow grass is tiled, and the cattle and sheep are all over the field.

As the road extended, the terrain gradually rose, the meadows and lakes were rare, the air became cold, and everything seemed so empty and bleak.

At this moment, a fog appeared in the distance in front of the right, and clouds of water vapor emerged from the ground and spread out, like boiling water in a boiling pot. Lama Tangge told him that there was a hot water pond, and the water vapor was so hot that no one could approach it. As he spoke, the earth shook violently like an earthquake for some reason, and the monks and lamas were shocked at once. Immediately after a huge roar, like a thunderbolt from the ground, I saw that there was a huge black column of water shot into the air three or four hundred meters away, and a large amount of water vapor, sediment, and stones were scattered in all directions, covering the sky and the sun, and the sky and the earth were darkened.

This sudden change shocked the mules and horses of the monk team to scatter and flee, and they were in a mess. Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun were dumbfounded, and several lamas next to them hurriedly pulled the three of them to lie on the ground to dodge. Fortunately, the explosion was far away, and only a few mud and sand water dropped, and a few fist-sized rocks fell not far away. This is a "hydrothermal explosion" phenomenon caused by the sudden eruption of shallow groundwater heated by magma. The momentum is fierce, and the castration is also fast, and when the debris is gone, the water vapor in the air is also blown away by the wind, leaving only a messy and messy wet ground. The mud and sand stones that have not yet exhausted the residual heat still emit wisps of heat, which is hot to the touch.

The frightened lamas were busy driving away the scattered mules and horses, but after the inventory, there was no shortage or damage to the luggage scrolls, and everyone was at ease. After straightening out the monks' team, Lama Tangge told Fang Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun that this kind of hydrothermal explosion phenomenon occasionally occurs in the hydrothermal area, and sometimes there are herdsmen who encounter them at close range, and those who avoid it are often killed, and the casualties of cattle and sheep are not counted. When the three of them heard this, they were amazed, and they were full of awe of this mysterious snowy plateau.

The monks marched all the way to the end of the journey, occasionally staying in the monasteries they passed by, and more often camping in the open fields and woods. Because of traveling with the monk team, it is much safer and more convenient for the other party, Guolian, Jian Liang, and Luo Kun. I often listen to Lama Tangge tell some stories about the history and anecdotes of the Western Regions, and I also reduce the loneliness of the journey. Along the way, the monks crossed the Tanggula Pass and entered the Qinghai realm.

In the year of Hongwu, the Ming court set up the Wusi Tibetan Prefecture and the Dorgan Prefecture and the Dorgan Prefecture and the Guardian Office in Tibet and Qinghai, all of which appointed Tibetans as officials of all sizes to govern themselves and consolidate the western frontier.

There seems to be no end to the long journey, and time seems to have lost its meaning. Fang Guochuan even had doubts about this trip to Kunlun Mountain, just because of a speculation about the national eunuch Li Ruchuan, how did he lead the three of them to Kunlun Mountain with a finger from Anmu Lama's hand? Even if you go to the Ganlan Temple of the Great Snow Peak of Kunlun Mountain, what can you do when you see the five "Fulong Venerables" of Lamaism? The kind of confusion about the future always made Fang Guolian uneasy, as if he had a premonition that something was about to happen. Privately talking about this trip to Kunlun Mountain with Jian Liang and Luo Kun, the two of them were also a little confused, after all, the original war was too far away from here, and the three of them didn't know what the meaning of this long-distance trip would be, but it had come to this point, so they had to go forward.
