Chapter 581: Go to That Far Away Place
readx;
Zuo Shaoyang was dumbfounded, he didn't know that the Zhangxiong Kingdom was the aggregation of many large and small clans and tribes, among the tribes, the Guxin (Dharma King) of Bon before Buddhism (including the tribe of Jerjiao) had the highest status in the tribe and the Zhangzhung Kingdom, and many royal families believed in Bon, forming a huge Bon group, Guxin had a high status, and some even surpassed the tribal king or the Zhangxiong king. In the hearts www.biquge.info of the tribesmen, King Guxin is a person who is psychic, and their will must not be disobeyed, otherwise they will attract the revenge of the gods.
Zuo Shaoyang didn't know that Da Long Xin and these people recognized him as the possession of the Dharma King in his previous life, not out of any interest considerations, but because Zuo Shaoyang had passed several tests in a row, and in their opinion, it was impossible for others to know, so they sincerely recognized that he was the new Dharma King possessed by the Dharma King in his previous life. Since he is the Dharma King, of course his will cannot be disobeyed. Not to mention the sacrifice of women, even if it is a murderous sacrifice, it is resolutely enforced.
When Zuo Shaoyang found out that his words had such a miraculous effect, he was really dumbfounded, he was not a womanizer, he just wanted to disgust the other party, but he didn't know that it was impossible for them to dislike King Guxin, even if his decree was ten times more ridiculous.
Zuo Shaoyang found that he was self-defeating, since the image of the disciple could not get rid of the fate of the Western Regions, he could not continue this image that made him very disgusted, so Zuo Shaoyang stood up and waved his hand: "No need, I just tested you just now, I have a wife and three concubines, what do you want so many women to do?" Hey, let's move on. ”
"Yes!" Da Long Xin instructed a few Dharma protectors to take out a set of single robes for Zuo Shaoyang to change the wet clothes on his body, Mei Duo also hid in the woods and changed his dress, their horse had fallen to death, Da Long Xin let Qi Jia and Pa Jia two Dharma Protectors ride the same horse, and free up a horse for Zuo Shaoyang and Mei Duo to ride.
The group continued to gallop forward, and when it was night, it was dark, and Daronsin did not order to stop, and continued to rush forward in the starry night. It wasn't until the third watch that he was ordered to camp on a flat grass and let the horses rest for a while.
Even though it was summer, they built a bonfire and sat around. Mei Duo began to make butter tea, and soon it was ready, and it was hot, and she ate tsamba on this butter tea.
Zuo Shaoyang still couldn't get used to eating this butter tea, so he asked Mei Duo to pour a bowl of water and soak the tsamba in it to eat.
Zuo Shaoyang asked Da Longxin: "Where are we going to the Western Regions?" ”
"Kailash's mandala. Kailash is a sacred mountain, and our religion is in the mandala there. Daronxin replied respectfully.
"Is that mandala far away from Lhasa?"
Darongxin was stunned for a moment: "Lhasa? ”
"Yes, the capital of Tibet is where Songtsen Gampo lives."
Darongxin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the place where Songtsen Gampo lived was originally Yalong, and three years ago, it was moved to Luo, if it is the place where Songtsen Gampo lives, it is Luo. It's not called Lhasa. ”
Zuo Shaoyang only knew that Songtsen Gampo still had his Tubo Dynasty, but he didn't know much about the history of Tubo. Lhasa was actually established during the Songtsen Gampo period, and its name at that time was not Lhasa, but the name Lhasa appeared nearly 200 years later.
Zuo Shaoyang also guessed that the name might not match, and said, "No matter what it's called, are we going there?" ”
Da Long smiled hard and shook his head: "No, where our sect is located, it is called Gangren Buche, and it is still far away from Luoqi, and it will take at least a month to get there by riding fast horses all night and night." ”
"So far? So why don't we go and stay in Luo? ”
"Our sect has been passed down for fifteen generations now, and they all live in Gangren Buche, because it is a sacred mountain, and it is the home of the deity we worship."
"Well, are we going to go through some logic?"
"It's better not to go through."
"Why?"
"The Logos are the capital of Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tibet, and they are inseparable from us Zhangxiong. When we Zhangxiong people enter the towns of Raksah, we have to pay a very heavy customs duty before we can enter the city. We don't have much money and can't afford to pay it. ”
Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "If you had money, you wouldn't eat such hard tsamba." The bite hurts people's cheeks. ”
Daronsin was very embarrassed, and said, "Yes, when we came out, in order to get shorter, we passed through some Luo, and almost all the money and property we brought with us were collected and swept away by those officials. So there's not much money. Let your majesty suffer. ”
"You say you're elephant-males? Is Zhangzhung a country? ”
"Yes." Darong Xin said proudly, "Our Gangren Buche Mandala is in the territory of Zhangxiong Country and belongs to Zhangxiong Country. Our Zhangxiong is stronger than Tibet, at the beginning they were still our territory, and then they became powerful and broke away from our Zhangxiong, but now we are not afraid of them. ”
Zuo Shaoyang of the Tibetan Dynasty in Tibetan Province has heard a lot, but has never heard of the country of Zhangxiong, in fact, this country once had a relatively developed civilization, has its own script, called Zhangxiong, and now the Tibetan language is Songtsen Gampo became the king of Tibet before it was created, later than Zhangzhung language, before the original Tibetan language was created, Songtsen Gampo proposed to the Tang Dynasty, and the marriage book was written in Zhangzhung script.
Before the Tibetan Dynasty, most of the Western Regions were under the rule of Zhangxiong, of course, this rule was not a state in the true sense, but a loose alliance of many primitive tribes. Under the leadership of Songtsen Gampo, Tubo rose rapidly, broke away from Zhangxiong, and fought against Zhangxiong, and later, Songtsen Gampo sent troops to attack Zhangxiong, killed the king of Zhangxiong, and incorporated Zhangxiong into the territory and became a vassal state of Tuxiong.
The era in which they live now is the era when the Tibetans and Zhangxiong are fighting against each other. Of course, there are only ten years left before Zhangxiong's final demise.
Zuo Shaoyang didn't know this, but he knew that Songtsen Gampo would dominate the entire Western Regions, including Zhangxiong. He asked, "Do you have a mage in the kingdom of Zhangzhung?" Or call it a national teacher or something. Have it? ”
"Yes, we call it 'Gusin'. Not only do we have Guxin, but also the Zampu of Tibet, each Zampu has at least one or two Guxin, and some more, and they not only preside over the rituals, but also serve as the king's imperial physician. Our Zhangxiong's Guxin is famous in the world, and the Guxin of Tubo is basically invited from our Zhangxiong. ”
"Oh?" Zuo Shaoyang pretended to be excited and asked, "Then what is the position of our sect in Zhangxiong?" Am I, the Dharma King, the Gusin of Zhang-zhung? ”
Darongsin was a little embarrassed: "This ......, uh, Zhangzhung has a lot of teachings, each religion has its own Guxin, that is, the Dharma King, our Jer's religion is in Gangren Buche, and you are the Guxin Dharma King of our Jer's religion." ”
"So, King Zhangzhung has his own Gushin King?"
"Yes." Seeing that Zuo Shaoyang was a little gloomy, Da Long Xin was busy and relieved: "However, our Jer Sect is a big sect in Zhangxiong, and even the Dharma King of Zhangxiong Bon has to give us some face. When he entered the city of Zhangxiong, the king sent envoys outside the city to meet him. ”
"That's pretty much it." Zuo Shaoyang deliberately raised his toes again, and glanced at Da Longxin: "How much money do you still have?" ”
"This ......, it's not much, only ten taels of silver."
"Ten taels of silver?" Zuo Shaoyang glared and said, "You said that it will take a month to travel from Luo Xue to Gangren Buche, and from Chang'an to the border of Tubo?" ”
"It will take at least half a month to speed up."
"From the border to Logos?"
"Well, it takes a month and a half to travel at night."
Zuo Shaoyang pinched his fingers and said: "So, from the capital to our Gangren Buche mandala, it will take at least three months to travel at least three months?" ”
"This is the fastest speed, the normal speed takes more than half a year, and there can be no delay on the road."
"Damn! It's so far. You see that you five horses must not have anything good to eat along the way, they are all hungry to the bone, and it is still a big question mark whether we can rely on them to get to Gangren Buche. Ten taels of silver is not enough for the six of us to hold on for so long. You have to make some money. ”
"Make money?" Daronxin said: "How to make money? ”
"Your martial arts are so good, you can be a gentleman on the beam to rob the rich and help the poor, hehe" Zuo Shaoyang wanted them to commit crimes and alarm the government, so they could intercept them.
Da Long Xin was startled, and waved his hands wildly: "This can't work, how can a cultivator do that kind of thing of roosters and dogs?" ”
In addition to the emphasis and some bluntness, the use of idioms and colloquialisms is very accurate.
Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "Then you can perform along the street, martial arts are so good, it should be no problem to perform tricks." You can make a lot of money. ”
"No, no, how can a cultivator perform on the streets?" Daronsin shook his head.
"And what else do you have to make money?"
"Well, when we were Kailash, we mainly made money by doing things. Of course, our sect has pastures with cattle and sheep, which we can graze ourselves, and we have cattle and sheep to slaughter. ”
Zuo Shaoyang said strangely: "You can kill? ”
"Yes." Da Long Xin said, "I know that your Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty is non-killing, but our sect can. When sacrificing and vows, cattle and sheep are slaughtered and offered. ”
Zuo Shaoyang's head thinks of the Western Regions, he thinks of Tibetan Buddhism, his head has not yet turned a corner, he is now in the era, is the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan period, that is, the early period of the Tibetan Dynasty in Tibetan Province, at that time Tibetan Buddhism has just stepped into the land of Tibetan Province, far from achieving religious dominance, is still under the strong pressure of the primitive religion "Bon" in Tibetan Province, of course, under the vigorous promotion of Songtsen Gampo, the development is still very fast, but that is more than a hundred years later.
Zuo Shaoyang knew that the sect he was taken hostage and taken away to become the king of the Dharma belonged to a branch of the primitive religion Bon in Tibetan Province. This religion has similarities with the primitive religions before Tang Buddhism, with totem worship and the use of animals and even people to sacrifice. There are mystical religious ceremonies. This thing isn't fun, and if you don't get it right, you'll lose your head. It's better to escape from the clutches as soon as possible.
Zuo Shaoyang's heart was active, but his face still looked very happy: "It's almost the same, I can't eat without meat for dinner, I'm still worried about going to eat tsamba all day long, that's bitter to death, now there is beef and mutton, it's very good." ”
Upon hearing His Holiness's praise, Daronsin was very happy: "There are not many cattle and sheep in our sect, but there are enough for His Holiness to eat. ”
"Then what's the matter, everyone eats meat and drinks wine! - By the way, can we have a drink in the church? ”
"Yes, we have our own sake brewers. The three protectors of the Dharma are the masters of winemaking. ”
When Qi Zhu heard his name, he grinned at Zuo Shaoyang.
Zuo Shaoyang also smiled back and said, "If you don't quit drinking and meat, you shouldn't keep the color precept, right?" After asking this question, Zuo Shaoyang realized that this question was a bit stupid, he had asked Da Long Xin to find a woman before he pretended to be a disciple, if it was not allowed, Da Long Xin would not agree.
Sure enough, Da Longxin said: "Of course you don't keep the color precepts, our sect is not like the Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty, this is not good, and that is not allowed, we can do it." ”
"It's pretty much the same, I'm still thinking, I now have three concubines together, and I have a confidante, and I am also half a wife, when you Dharma King want to quit sex, what can I do with my wives and concubines? It's really distressing. Hey hey"
Da Long Xin hurriedly said: "Yes, those who don't need to take the precepts don't need to take the precepts, and in the future, the Dharma King can send someone to invite them to come to the sect to reunite with the Dharma King." ”
"Can't I go back to my hometown myself?"
"This ......," said Daronsin, with a smile on his face, "According to the rules, the reincarnation of the Dharma King must be at least ten years old before he can leave the castle, and he must be fourteen years old before he can go out to travel. For those who possess the body, they will not be able to leave the castle until ten years have passed. ”
Decade? Zuo Shaoyang screamed bitterly, and asked Qiao'er and them to wait for ten years, and their youth was wasted. No, you have to escape, I was not fully prepared for the last escape, and I was caught quickly, this time I can't go wrong again, I must plan and then act. There should be many opportunities for this journey, and we must find the best time.
Zuo Shaoyang began to show a strong look of interest, and asked himself with great concern about the situation of the Dharma King: "You just said that our Jer Sect is a relatively large sect in the Zhangxiong Kingdom?" ”
"Yes."
"What is the main god that we worship in the Gyalists?"
"It's the wrathful deity you saw."
Zuo Shaoyang frowned: "Besides this god, there is no other god?" ”
"Yes! There are a lot of them. ”
"I'll hear what they are."
"Yes!" Darongsin took out a wall chart from his coat and unfolded it, with some idols painted in it, and Darongsin pointed to the idol and said: "This one in golden armor is called Xiangxiong Yumei, also called the king of the Yakshas, who breaks all obstacles, and is also the patron saint of our Gangren Buche mandala, and on either side of him are two concubines; This is Pulba's deity, and he is the most powerful deity to subdue demons......"
Zuo Shaoyang interrupted him: "I heard that Tibetan Buddhism ......, ah no, the Buddhist master has a past, present and future, do we have a Gyer religion?" ”
