Chapter 172: Princess Wencheng Temple
Liu Tingting didn't answer, Yaojia gave the guard another bag of silver, and said, "My young lady is a big person, few people dare to touch her!"
The guard took the heavy silver, looked at the four of them carefully, and said, "It's not that I don't want you to pass, it's a disputed place over there, and it's better to go back if it's not necessary." ”
Yaojia said: "Don't worry, the official doesn't have to worry, someone will come to receive us later." ”
The guard looked a little helpless, and waved his hand: "Then be careful, let's go, let's go!"
Liu Tingting and the four of them led the horse out of the gate, got on the horse and ran forward. Yin Danzi was forced to suppress the anger and let it out: "What the fuck, what do you have to do with Lao Tzu?"
Yang Danzi was also angry, and said: "I took so much silver and talked so much nonsense, if it wasn't for the girl's instructions, I had to give him some color to see." ”
Yin Danzi said: "That is, the person who dares to ask Lao Tzu to buy road money, he is really the first." ”
Yang Danzi nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's the first one, let's go back and clean him up." ”
Liu Tingting said: "The state has national laws, and it is certainly a crime for them to accept money and fail to perform their duties. But this is a key border and cannot be left unguarded. The money for the road is what the robbers want, and how can it be compared with them. ”
Yaojia smiled: "What my sister said is true, but I also think that there is something wrong with these people." ”
Yin Danzi praised: "The people in the government ask for money, and that is also the money to buy the road, although it is not called a bandit, it is no different from a bandit." ”
Yang Danzi said: "Exactly, it is a bandit wearing an official uniform." ”
Yaojia said: "You two just don't say a word, if someone listens to us and arrests all of us, you will be blamed." The Yin and Yang Twins held back their anger and ignored her.
Liu Tingting shook her head, thought for a while, and said no more. The Yin and Yang twins began to argue again, this time between the road money and the robbers.
The further north you go, the more dangerous the peaks and ravines, and the horse roads are rugged and winding, steep and difficult to walk. The four of them traveled for more than two hours, and all the way there were merchants from the Tubo Horse Gang. After Liu Tingting took a closer look, she found that these caravan merchants all had a token hanging from their waists, and the name of Xuanmo Palace was engraved on the token, and she thought: "Xuanmo Palace is all official and business, and the power is naturally small." ”
After walking for more than an hour, I came to the town of Qamdo, which is located in the south of the ancient city of Jie, which is fourteen miles. Both of the town gates were full of Tibetan soldiers, and these Tibetan soldiers were the subordinates of Xuanmo Palace.
Although there was a checkpoint in front of the door, they didn't intercept the caravan merchants of Xuanmo Palace, and walked directly to Liu Tingting and the three to stop them. A stout soldier asked, "What for?"
Yaojia said: "Play!"
The soldier stretched out his hand to unveil Liu Tingting, but Yin Danzi flashed over and pushed his hand away and scolded: "Bastard, move your hands and feet, look for death?"
Yang Danzi's scythe had already reached the soldier's neck, and he scolded: "Dare to touch my girl, are you fucking tired!"
Yaojia stood in front of Liu Tingting and glared at the soldiers, looking extremely angry.
When all the soldiers saw this, they drew their scimitars and surrounded them. Seeing the speed of these two people, the soldier sweated a little and said, "What, what do you want to do, do you want to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and if you have the ability, you can kill me?"
Liu Tingting hinted that the Yin and Yang Twins retreated, and said, "My two friends are reckless and reckless, I'm sorry. However, the official must not lose his courtesy, if I let my emperor know that the soldiers in the royal territory of Yalong Jue are wantonly bullying the people of my Dali country, I am afraid it will not be a good thing. ”
The soldier paused, pondered for a moment, and said, "That's, that's." However, entering the territory of our country must be inspected, looking at the four sea culverts. ”
Yaojia raised her voice and said: "My young lady was ordered by the master to purchase a large amount of cordyceps sinensis from your country, hoping to give it pass." He took out a bag of silver from his bosom and threw it to the soldier.
The soldier took the silver, sank, and said, "The four martial artists have outstanding internal strength, they don't look like merchants, right?"
Yao Jia said: "Now that the society is unstable, bandits are rampant, Cordyceps is very valuable, and it is quite precious, I am afraid it will be difficult to transport it back without some martial arts, right?"
The soldier looked at the four of them again, and said, "Let's go!" and the soldiers made a way.
Liu Tingting and the four of them led the horse into Qamdo Town, which is not prosperous, although there are many businessmen passing by, there are not many people staying here. At this time, it was getting late, so I casually found an inn to rest. The furnishings in the inn are very different from the inn of Dali, it seems more simple and rough, the merchants who live in the hotel are all Tubo costumes, and the strong exotic customs can't help but make people feel rich. The food is also very different, mostly milk and dry cakes, and the most unchanged is wine. However, although it is a sake, the taste is very different, and the wine here is sweet and rich and has a long aftertaste. It's just that the wine of Shaodali is so smooth and demonic, and it is touching the wine. The yin and yang twins drank ten minutes, dizzy, and staggered back to the guest room, falling asleep.
Liu Tingting and Yaojia didn't wait for them to drink, and went back to the room early to rest. The next day, all four of them got up early, had breakfast, got on their horses, and went to the ancient city of Jie. The closer you get to the ancient city, the more beautiful the scenery becomes, the burly Tanggula Mountain, the mysterious and dreamy Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of all mountains, against the backdrop of the dazzling and mysterious ancient city.
The four of them did not have time to enjoy the thousands of scenery, so they galloped on horseback, and entered the ancient city at noon. The ancient city of Jiejie is wide and huge, inns, shops, paving abound, the streets are full of merchants from different countries, there are Tianzhu countries, there are Hou Shu countries, there are Hou Jin countries, there are Dali countries, etc., it is very lively. Cordyceps sinensis and fine Kunlun jade are abundant here, and many foreign merchants come here inexplicably.
Liu Tingting and the four of them found an inn at random and rested a little. Liu Tingting changed into a neat set of men's clothes, but Yaojia was still dressed in women's clothes, and the yin and yang twins also changed their clothes and walked out of the inn on the street. Liu Tingting seemed to be wandering around, but she was investigating the layout of the city and thinking of good strategies. Yaojia and the Yin and Yang Twins flashed back and forth between the stalls, sometimes touching and sometimes looking, sometimes noisy and sometimes arguing with the stall owners. After a while, they came to a grand and spacious compound in the center of the ancient city, and the purple brick gate of the compound was hung with three big characters of "Xuanmo Palace" on the top. The left doorpost is engraved with the Tibetan inscription "Xuanzhi and Xuanshu Kunlun", and the right doorpost is engraved with "Mo Shu Mo Yan Fu Gu Gu". The handwriting is strong and powerful, revealing a deep and unfathomable strength. Liu Tingting thought secretly: "The internal strength of the Xuanmo Palace is cast in the way of strength, and the heart of the Buddha is worthy of its name. I couldn't help but think of the experience of meeting Mo Baixiong many times and the Xuan Mo Ling token that Mo Baixiong had given her. Suddenly sighed that everything in the world is unpredictable, and it is difficult for friends in the past to know when they will become enemies.
Yin Danzi saw Liu Tingting looking at Xuanmo Palace and fell into deep thought, stepped forward to look at it, and asked, "Ya... Boy, this is Xuanmo Palace, what should I do?"
Liu Tingting turned around and walked away, silently walking down the street, without answering his questions.
Yang Danzi said: "Otherwise, the four of us will go in first to kill for a while, maybe we don't need so many people to come, and we will all take down Lao Mo." ”
Yin Shan said: "Exactly, exactly, don't look at them as tall and big, if they really fight, they are very stupid." ”
Yang Danzi said: "It's ......"
Yaojia stopped: "Shut up!"
Liu Tingting turned around and glanced at the Yin and Yang Twins, and said coldly: "If you are afraid that the people of Xuanmo Palace will not know the purpose of our trip, it is better for the two of you to go in directly." ”
Yin Danzi nodded, turned around and walked towards Xuanmo Palace, and Yang Danzi followed. Yaojia hurriedly grabbed the two of them and scolded: "I said that you are not pig brains, are you really going?"
Yin Danzi was also puzzled and turned around and asked Liu Tingting: "Yes, boy, didn't you say that you wanted to keep it secret, why did you ask us to tell them?"
Yang Danzi was also puzzled: "That's it, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
Liu Tingting glanced at the two of them, turned around and walked away, not bothering to pay attention to the two.
Yaojia saw that the two of them were unreasonable, and said, "Sister, that's scolding you, really." "Turn and follow.
The two had an epiphany, began to talk about other things, and walked away. Liu Tingting had just walked a few steps when she saw a group of warriors carrying geared blades hurrying by, and she immediately remembered those lama warriors with geared blades that she had encountered many times a few years ago. She then turned and quietly followed the group of warriors. Yaojia felt the same way, followed along, and hinted that the Yin and Yang Twins should not talk too much, so as not to expose their identities. The two of them understood and quietly followed.
The four of them followed the group of warriors out of the ancient city and traveled more than twenty miles to the southeast. Entering a grand canyon, two mountains are boundless and towering in the sky and clouds, **mysterious. The pines and cypresses in the mountains dance with the wind, which is poetic and picturesque, and the small river under the mountain is clear and turquoise and meandering, graceful and colorful, making people forget to return. Then a golden temple comes into view, and the Tang-Tibetan hybrid temple is built close to the cliff, light and far-reaching, noble and mighty. The surrounding cliffs are carved with dense Tibetan scriptures, **mysterious, daunting.
The group of lamas and warriors climbed the cliff and entered the monastery, Liu Tingting and the four of them followed behind, walked towards the monastery, and saw that the top of the main hall of the monastery was hung with a big flat and engraved with the Tibetan "Wencheng Princess Temple". Liu Tingting stopped, stared at these five words and fell into deep contemplation, and said to herself: "Piety is spiritual, and people will leave the world." The deep meaning of this sentence is to sigh that Princess Wencheng is for the stability of the country, and she has traveled thousands of miles to Tibet, and her merits are complete. Although Princess Wencheng is still not there, her achievements are immortal, so that future generations can deeply feel her solemn majesty.
Yin Danzi didn't understand what it meant, and said, "What did you say?"
Yang Danzi said: "That's it, what is the most spiritual thing, and the merit is left in the world?"
Yaojia whispered to the Yin and Yang Twins: "Don't talk nonsense and insult the power of God, as soon as you enter the Holy Land, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and be grateful." Yan Bi followed Liu Tingting into the temple.
The incense in the temple is vigorous, the light fragrance comes to the nose, and the pleasant chanting sound makes people feel refreshed, as if they are in the temple. A lama greeted him and respectfully asked, "What is the important matter for the three donors to come to our temple?"
Liu Tingting saw the carved statue of Princess Wencheng enshrined on the main hall, which was magnificent, and her mood vibrated deeply, and she also saluted: "The master is reasonable, and the four of us are fortunate to respect the divine power of your temple and worship sincerely." ”
The lama smiled and said, "I see, the four donors, please!" said and led Liu Tingting and the four of them to the statue, and brought incense to the three of them.
Liu Tingting looked at the statue of Princess Wencheng of Shenwei, and her heart trembled. The statue of the god is eight meters high, made of huge stones, simple and honest, kind and elegant, sitting on the lion lotus throne, molded in the center. There are eight stone carved Buddha statues in two, divided into two layers, each one is three meters high, finely carved, lifelike. Liu Tingting first worshiped the statue of Princess Wencheng, and then worshiped the other eight Buddha statues. Yaojia and the Yin and Yang Twins also followed her to worship one by one. As soon as the four of them finished worshipping, an old lama walked to the main hall.
The lama saluted the old lama and said, "I have seen the host." ”
