The early morning on the plateau is cold, and the big coat on the body is inlaid with a thick fur collar, which still can't stop the pervasive cold.

Liu Ji looked at the thick back not far in front of him, and couldn't help but shrink his neck, there is really a difference between people and people, some people are born with good muscles and bones, he doesn't seem to see it, he has changed into other clothes, except for the set of orion clothes woven from hearse linen.

There were only five of them in this line, in addition to the two of them, there were two accompanying sergeants, and a prisoner, although he knew that there was little hope, Liu Ji still wanted to fight again, if the matter was a foregone conclusion, it meant that he had more things to do, and some plans had to be arranged in advance.

"Phew"

The first one made a sharp sound, slowly reined in the horse, built a pergola with his hands, and looked into the distance.

"Did you fork the road?" Liu Ji rode with him and looked around, the desolation of this era made him unable to identify the direction through the road at all, just like the prairie under his feet, there is a color everywhere, people who are not familiar with it are easy to get lost, and the mountains in the distance always seem to be out of reach.

"That's right." Pointing to a mountain in the distance, he said, "It's probably 'Mapang Mountain'. ”

"What are you suspecting?" Liu Ji knew that he was a cautious person and would not say this for no reason.

"It's strange, when I returned, I saw a lot of elephant males nearby, and there were none of them, so I don't know where I went."

"Let's find a place to sleep."

Liu Ji said in a joking tone, then destroyed the mount, galloped in that direction, this trip was a visit by the way, but his hunting psychology, besides, this weather rushed for a day and a night, people and horses can't stand it, how to have a rest.

Glutinous and the others hurriedly followed, he only admired the courage of this Shangguan, and seemed to pay attention to nothing.

The mountain road was a little rough, but it was very smooth, and soon a building appeared in front of me, a castle built on the mountain, and the Tibetans seemed to like to build the castle on the mountain, Gongtang, Qionglongyin, and the capital city.

The castle looked small, and as they approached the gates, a familiar figure greeted them.

"Your honor, how did you get here?" Xiao Wu was surprised when he saw them.

"I made an appointment with your lady and came to visit by the way." Liu Ji smiled: "Is she at home?" ”

"At this moment, you should chant in the Buddha cave in the back mountain, and the small one will lead you there."

Xiao Wu's eyes swept over a sack-packed thing, and his expression respectfully led his horse's head, and the group entered through the open city gate, winding up the narrow street, there were not many people along the way, but the street was very clean, and someone should be cleaning it all the time.

From the occasional passerby, he saw the distinct faces of the Han Chinese, who seemed calm about the arrival of their uninvited guests, and only glanced at them, and then went about their business.

A strange castle, a strange owner, this is Liu Ji's first impression of this place.

The mountain body of the back mountain has been artificially trimmed, dug into a cave one by one, a bit like the Dunhuang ruins he has seen, which enshrines Buddha statues of different sizes and different expressions, and when he came to this time and space, he saw so many Buddha statues for the first time, even if it was the Nibra known as the "Buddha Country", it was not so exaggerated, because the Indo-European race from Tianzhu was in power at that time, and they had completely different beliefs.

Xiao Wu took them to the largest cave in front of them, Xiao Si who was guarding the entrance of the cave was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, just greeted them with his eyes, Liu Ji and the others jumped off the horse, handed the horse to the accompanying sergeant, and at the same time untied the burlap bag from the horse's back, and threw it on the ground.

"Your nobleman forgives your sins, my lady still has a morning class, please wait a while, it will be completed in a moment at most." Xiao Si explained in a very small voice.

Liu Ji glanced at it curiously, this hole is at least two meters high, and it is dug bigger, and it can be faintly seen that there is a tall Buddha statue with a round face and vivid demeanor, and there is a back sitting under the Buddha shrine, muttering something.

After all, the friendly neighbor of China has deep religious roots with hostile strong neighbors, and the initial partition of India and Pakistan was also based on this factor, and the subsequent wars were also due to profound religious contradictions.

The object of his visit was very religious, and it took a full moment to end the recitation, and then he raised his head and looked at the Buddha statue, and did not move for a long time, until Xiao Wu couldn't help but step forward to report.

"Tara, there's a guest."

Zeng Jiuniang turned around and looked at the tall figure, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and even her eyes were a little more radiant.

"Maybe, I can't call you Jiuniangzi anymore, do you need to change your name?" Liu Ji nodded at her and quipped.

"Whatever you want, Gorou can do anything for the slave family."

Zeng Jiuniang smiled, subtle and elegant, glanced behind him, and said, "I didn't expect you to really find it." ”

"I said I would come." Liu Ji waved his hand: "Can you make it convenient and take me there." ”

Zeng Jiuniang glanced at him deeply, nodded and walked in front, Liu Ji walked two steps quickly, caught up with her and walked side by side along the mountain road towards the back, around this mountain cliff, is a fir forest, this kind of endemic tree species in the alpine region, tall and straight, like a loyal guard.

What they guarded was an arched cemetery, with typical Han characteristics, but on the stone tablet in front of the tomb, there was not a word, which seemed mysterious and abrupt.

"This is where she rests, you can see as you like." Zeng Jiuniang's attitude made him feel a little strange, it was that indescribable feeling.

The only thing Liu Ji can be sure of is that this cemetery has not survived to future generations, and the burial place of Princess Jincheng is a Buddhist temple, perhaps something happened after that, after all, it was nearly a thousand years apart.

As the other party said before, there was nothing to see here, and he did not plan to offer a bouquet of flowers or light a bouquet of incense on it, because the front of the cemetery was so clean that not even an incense burner was placed.

Liu Ji finally understood where his feelings came from, as the princess's tomb keeper, it shouldn't be this kind of expression at all, even if thirteen years have passed, they are still enjoying her legacy, and this castle is the best witness.
