Winter is coming!

A heavy snowstorm overwhelmed the world, pressing down the white-hot contradictions on the grassland, and blocking the ambitions of countless people under the power of heaven and earth.

In another cold place, a storm also quietly arose, but this turmoil was not a battle between tribes, but an invisible religious battle.

Some cities! In the palace of the Tibetan king.

Master Tang Dharma Protector Shamen Falin sat on the top and was explaining the Dharma to Songtsen Gampo, and a group of Tibetan nobles who believed in the local Buddhism looked at him angrily, but they had to admire Master Falin's Buddhism was indeed profound, and the Hinayana Buddhism was easy to talk about, and he also created a new Tantric Dharma, which made them fascinated by it.

"Master Fa Lin is really profound, this king admires it!" After Master Falin finished speaking, Songtsen Gampo came down with Concubine Wen and said loudly.

"I've seen the king, I've seen Concubine Wen!" Master Falin is neither humble nor arrogant.

"King Qiyu, this time in the Central Plains, thanks to the help of the Buddhist family, the minister can meet His Majesty the Heavenly Khan and ask him to agree to the marriage of the king and Concubine Wen." Lu Dongzan reported on the sidelines.

Concubine Wen's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to Master Falin: "Thank you Master for your help!" ”

Master Fa Lin replied: "Concubine Wen is polite, I'd rather demolish ten temples than a marriage, as long as the king and Concubine Wen have a lover and eventually become a family, Lao Wei will not hesitate to give up this skin." ”

"The grace of the master, Concubine Wen will never forget." Concubine Wen said solemnly.

——————

Concubine Wen rarely saw the Han people in Tubo, and couldn't help but feel a little more happy to see Master Fa Lin and other monks, plus although she was loved by Songtsen Gampo, but she had no power in the palace, the arrival of Master Fa Lin and other Tang monks was a godsend, and it happened to need the support of the upper echelons, maybe it was the nature of women who were born good at palace fighting, and the two hit it off and reached an alliance tacitly.

Songtsen Gampo is happy to see this, you must know that both Concubine Wen and the Tang monks are the link between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, and they are also the power to fight against the princess of Qizun, so that his harem can maintain balance.

"Fortunately, with the help of Master Falin, Tian Khan promised you and me to get married, and once the marriage is over, this king will promote Concubine Wen to Empress Wen." Songtsen Gampo said with a happy face.

Lu Dongzan couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Back to Your Majesty, although Tian Khan agreed to the marriage, the Mo family heard a condition, that is, let the king build a palace for Concubine Wen with the gift of a princess, and even the drawings have been prepared." ”

"Mo Jiazi!" Concubine Wen's heart moved, as a Han Chinese, who didn't know the famous Mo family, let alone when she saw the palace on the drawings, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

As a woman, who doesn't fantasize about being a princess, now Princess Changle declares that all women in the Tang Dynasty are princesses, and the Mo family specially designed a palace for her, which suddenly made Concubine Wen's dream come true.

"Potala Palace, what does this mean?" Concubine Wen's eyes flashed, and she saw the four Chinese characters on the drawing.

Master Farin explained: "Potala is the Sanskrit word for 'Putuo', and it is the place where Guanyin Bodhisattva lives. ”

"Potala Palace! King! Concubine Wen couldn't help but move in her heart, and looked at Songtsen Gampo expectantly,

"Jian, for Concubine Wen, no matter how much it costs, this king will not hesitate!" Songtsen Gampo looked at Concubine Wen and said gently, but the clenched hands were green and exposed his heart.

"Thank you, King!" Concubine Wen took the palace drawings and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Except for Concubine Wen who was simply immersed in the dream of the princess's palace, who was not a shrewd person, naturally knew the purpose of the Mo family, but everyone knew that Songtsen Gampo had no choice, since this was the case, it was better to accept it neatly.

Once heartily accepted, Songtsen Gampo instead saw the palace drawings a little more pleasing to the eye, although the purpose of the Mo family is not pure, but its artistic level is known to the world, the palace he painted is the prototype of the Potala Palace in later generations, extremely brilliant and magnificent, in comparison, and the palace where Songtsen Gampo now lives is simply a heaven and an earth.

"This kind of palace can only be worthy of this king, and the Mo family thinks that he wants to use the Potala Palace to consume Tibet, but he doesn't know that he is just giving this king a big gift." All of a sudden, Songtsen Gampo was arrogant in his heart, and now Songtsen Gampo dominates the plateau, and his ambition is flourishing, and he unconsciously feels proud when he sees the majesty of the Brada Palace.

"King, the Potala Palace is majestic, but its skills are very high, I don't have such talents in Tibet, and its cost is too high, and the treasury of Tubo is now ............empty." Lu Dongzan frowned. According to his meaning, although the Potala Palace needs to be built, it can be dragged along and built slowly, so that Tubo can not damage the national strength.

Master Fallin said loudly: "The king can rest assured, among the Tang monks who came to Tibet this time, there are several monks who were skilled craftsmen before shaving, enough to undertake the heavy task of building the Potala Palace, as for the cost, the poor monks brought 10,000 taels of silver when they traveled west, which can be dedicated to the king to build the Potala Palace." ”

"Several craftsmen! Ten thousand taels of silver! Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that the Tang Buddhist family would give people and money.

"The lifelong wish of a poor monk is to promote the Dharma, and money is something outside the body." Master Falin said lightly.

Songtsen Gampo nodded and said: "Master rest assured, the Tang Dynasty will not allow the Buddhists, and Tubo will always open the door for the Buddhists." ”

"Thank you, King!" Master Fallin departed.

Songtsen Gampo waved his hand, retreated everyone, including Concubine Wen reluctantly left, and then came to Lu Dongzan's side and said: "Prime minister, what do you think of the westward journey of the Tang Buddhist family." ”

Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "The hundred schools of thought in the Tang Dynasty are contending, the Buddhists are indeed not allowed in the Tang Dynasty, and the Buddhists that the minister has seen so far are only dedicated to promoting Buddhism, and have no selfish intentions." ”

Songtsen Gampo nodded, originally because the Potala Palace shot by the Mo family was the connection between Buddhism and Sanskrit, and the suspicion was gone, if the Buddhism was just preaching Buddhism, he didn't mind accepting the Buddhism. Although Songtsen Gampo is a generation of heroes, after all, the Tibetan civilization has just emerged, and he has not seen the harm of Buddhism.

"By the way, the money for the construction of the Potala Palace is not to worry, the method of wine-making offered by the Great Minister has already made fine wine, and I invite the Great Minister to taste it, how to reconcile the thousand sorrows, and whether it can be sold at a good price in Datang." Songtsen Gampo waved his hand, and an attendant brought in a small jar of wine.

As soon as Songtsen Gampo was opened, the whole hall was filled with the aroma of wine.

"Good wine!" Songtsen Gampo took a deep breath of obsession, drank it all, and shouted.

However, Lu Dongzan frowned, gritted his teeth and drank it all, and suddenly his face turned pale, and his stomach suddenly turned overturned, and he couldn't help but let out a wow, blood and wine spit out.

"Great Phase!" Songtsen Gampo hurriedly covered the wine jar and exclaimed.

After a long time, Lu Dongzan got better and said: "Back to the king, the minister was in Chang'an City to learn the calculations of the Mo family, he couldn't smell the smell of wine, he couldn't eat minced meat, and he could only eat porridge every day to satisfy his hunger. ”

In order to solve the third question of the Mo family, Lu Dongzan has damaged his stomach and his body has dropped greatly.

"Why didn't the prime minister say it earlier, otherwise the king wouldn't let the prime minister taste the wine." Songtsen Gampo blamed himself.

Lu Dongzan shook his head and said: "The method of wine-making is offered by the ministers, and the ministers must check it naturally, this wine is indeed a rare high-quality, once it is sold to Chang'an City, it will definitely earn endless money for Tubo, so that the money for the construction of the Jokhang Temple will be settled." ”

"Okay, in this way, I have the help of the Tang Buddhism family in Tubo, and I have wine as a source of wealth, so the Mo family's calculations will definitely fail." Songtsen laughed loudly.

However, he didn't know that he thought that he was in the second layer, and the Mo family had already reached the fifth layer, whether it was Buddhism or barley winemaking, the foreshadowing had already been laid, and when it broke out one day, Tubo would be caught off guard.

In the cities of Logos,

Jokhang Temple is the temporary residence of the Tang Dynasty Buddhists, after receiving the support of Songtsen Gampo, coupled with the natural ally of Concubine Wen, and nearly 100 believers of the Tubo Mission, the Tang Buddhists are also initially gaining a firm foothold in Tubo.

But just that, it is far from enough to turn Tibet into a Western Buddhist country, so the Tang Buddhists have continuously held debate conferences in the Jokhang Temple.

By preaching Tantric Buddhism and debating scriptures with the local Buddhists in Tibet, Master Fa Lin is worthy of being the Buddha's protector Shamen, the three initiates of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the Dharma is profound, and no one can win for a while.

This frightened the local temples in Tibet, and they were extremely wary of the Tang Dynasty Buddhism, but on the last day of the debate, Master Fa Lin announced something that shocked everyone.

"The time limit for poor monks has arrived, and they will die in ten days!"

As soon as Master Fa Lin said this, the believers in the audience were all shocked in their hearts, and looked at Master Fa Lin incredulously, a person can actually predict his own death, Master Fa Lin is really profound.

The local monks in Tubo are even more happy, among the Tang Dynasty Buddhism, Master Fa Lin is the most powerful, once Master Fa Lin dies, the Tang Dynasty Buddhism will definitely suffer heavy losses, maybe the local temple will definitely be able to reverse the decline in one fell swoop.

"However, the Tibetan Plateau is the place of the Buddha's favor, the poor monk will not really die, after a month, the poor monk is about to be reincarnated, you only need to go all the way to the north, along the road of the poor monk into Tibet, you will meet a newborn baby boy, when he was born, the indoor Buddha light is shining, the Sanskrit sound continues, the mouth is born with relics, the first birth is three, there is a mole under the armpit,..............., etc. Master Fa Lin calmly explained the aftermath.

"Wow!"

This time, both believers and monks were in an uproar, before that, the Tibetans believed that after death, they would go to the Western Elysium, although this statement is ethereal, but where is the reincarnation of the spirit child shocking, as long as the Dharma is profound, you can live a second life, no, even reincarnated forever.

"Master Farin, is the spirit child I am waiting to find still you?" One believer asked.

Master Fa Lin nodded and shook his head, "It's me or not me, the spirit child will inherit my Dharma, remember my past, and have his own life." ”

After Master Fa Lin finished speaking, he left the debate meeting and returned to the Jokhang Temple.

Outside the Jokhang Temple, the reincarnation of the spirit boy immediately caused an uproar, whether it is down to the ordinary people, up to the officials and nobles, all of them are very interested in the Tang Dynasty Buddhism, and even Songtsen Gampo and Concubine Wen heard the news, they also hurriedly came, personally entered the Jokhang Temple and talked to Master Falin, but the result was the same, Master Falin will die in ten days, and will be reincarnated after a month.

All of a sudden, the hearts of the Tibetan people fluctuated, and the more high-ranking officials and nobles wanted to live for a long time, but immortality was not attainable, but reincarnation could live in the second life, which made many high-ranking officials and nobles excited.

Everyone was staring at the Jokhang Temple, but the Jokhang Temple closed its doors and refused to accept anyone.

Ten days later, in the Jokhang Temple, the Buddha bell suddenly rang, and the Jokhang Temple was full of sorrow, and Master Farin passed away ten days later as he predicted.

"What a monk!"

Suddenly, everyone in the city shouted, and Master Falin passed away, making the reincarnation of the spirit boy suddenly a little more credible.

The Tang Dynasty Buddhists of the Jokhang Temple held a funeral for Master Fa Lin, after cremation, they got hundreds of relics, which can be said to be the most relics of the monks in the past dynasties, and everyone in the city shouted the monks.

After a month, the Jokhang Temple went north as promised, along the road of Master Falin into Tibet, and really found the baby who was born, the Buddha's light was shining, the mouth was full of relics, the head rose three times, and there were moles under the armpits.

This moment was remembered in the history books of Tibet, and the history is called the Second Farin.
