Entering the inner courtyard, Ding Sanye began to shout at the top of his voice: "Khenpo Rinpoche, Ding Laosan has come to see you!" ”

After a while, the two little lamas walked out first and saluted Ding Laosan, and then a tall lama with a big waist and a round waist and a large string of Buddhist beads walked out with a smile.

The person who came was about sixty years old, and when he saw Ding Sanye, he clasped his hands together and said: "I heard the magpie calling in front of the window early this morning, but I didn't expect to invite Ding Sanye from Handi." ”

Ding Sanye presented the prepared Hada and said, "Rinpoche, magpie, I wish you a greeting to the old man!" ”

It seems that this is the Khenpo of Lharampa Geshe Gonqu Tenzin in the mouth of Ding Sanye.

Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin smiled and said, "You Ding Sanye is still a flamboyant picture. ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and said, "Ding Sanye, please." ”

This Khenpo of Gonqu Tenzin has no shelf, and his gestures are indeed like the actions of a high-ranking monk, which inevitably makes people feel a little good.

Ding Sanye did not postpone it, and strode into the meditation room.

In this Tibetan custom, there are no seats in the room, only cushions, and the cushions are covered with woolen carpets, and we sit down on our knees, and then a few servants bring up preserved fruits, dried beef, butter tea, and tsamba.

Tuesday Mao and I both ate tsampa for the first time, and I poured some butter tea into a bowl to follow their example, and then put in the tsampa, and kneaded it into a dough like dough to eat, this tsampa taste has an indescribable taste, and I can't help frowning.

On Tuesday, Mao ate a piece, so he stopped eating it and concentrated on eating dry beef.

Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin smiled and said, "These two young men are coming to Xikang for the first time, right?" ”

I hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "I've been hearing that Third Master Ding talked about your old man's prestige all the way, so I'm here to visit this time." ”

Khenpo Gongqu Tenzin waved his hand and said, "What is not prestigious, it was Ding Sanye who told you the story of me saving him in the Snow Mountain, right?" ”

Ding Sanye laughed and said, "The grace of saving your life will never be forgotten!" ”

I said, "The master's magic power is superb, and we admire him. ”

Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin said with a smile: "Our Buddhists pay attention to a fate, Ding Sanye went to find a yak in the snow mountain is fate, and it is also fate to meet a white wolf, and I can meet this thing is also fate, fate originates and dies, fate gathers and scatters, everything is providential." This is all Ding Sanye's benevolence and righteousness, every time I come to Xikang, I still remember that this old guy me. ”

The so-called superior people carry people, middle people squeeze people, and inferior people step on people, This Gonqu Tenzin Khenpo and Ding Sanye can indeed be regarded as achieving each other.

I said, "Rinpoche, I have heard Ding Sanye talk about the White Wolf Ancient Kingdom in the Dangling Snow Mountain in the past few days, and I am very interested, so I want to ask you." ”

Khenpo Kunqu Tenzin was still habitually turning the string of big prayer beads in his left hand, but suddenly his hand paused and said, "This is strange, this white wolf ancient country has disappeared for one or two thousand, why have three groups of Han people in a row recently come to ask about this matter?" ”

"Three batches?" I was taken aback. First of all, it is possible that the uncle came to visit Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin, but how could anyone still ask?

Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin nodded and said, "A few days ago, a Han man surnamed Chen came to me, saying that he was from a geological expedition and wanted to know about the ancient country of the White Wolf, so I told him everything I knew. Soon after, another female doll came, saying that it was for archaeological research, and asked me about the migration of the Yi tribes in the southwest in ancient times, the capital of the people, the Ran Horse, the White Horse, and the situation of the Qi people. You're in the third batch. ”

I chuckled in my heart, doll? Could it be that Lin Xia can't do it? Isn't she with her uncle? Does she still want to walk into the Dangling Snow Mountain alone?

I hurriedly said, "Don't hide it from Rinpoche, this Han man surnamed Chen is my uncle, and I came to find him this time." ”

Khenpo Gonzhu Tenzin looked me up and down for a moment, and let out an "oh". said: "Your uncle is indeed extraordinary, he knows astronomy and geography, and I am ashamed of some things." ”

I asked again, "So... What about the female doll? ”

Khenpo Kunqu Tenzin said: "I also told her the truth about the female doll, and this female doll was very worried when she saw it, and I also advised her at that time, in the snowy mountains, the weather is changeable, don't easily wade into danger, I don't know if she went later or not." ”

I said, "What kind of place is this White Wolf Ancient Country?" ”

Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin said: "This is still my business in the Tibetan Kaugshe, at that time I also accidentally saw something in a scripture about this ancient country of white wolves, this white wolf country originated in the Dokangolo region, belongs to a branch of the Yan people, and then gradually moved south into Xikang, they take the white wolf as a totem, and live in pursuit of water and grass.

At first, this tribe did not attract everyone's attention, and the scriptures recorded that this small tribe slash-and-burn, migrating impermanently, and collecting things for things, but the vulgar is still brave, good at riding and shooting, and migrating with animals. Sabre felt, no room house, summer is the top of the mountain, winter is the plain has been inhabited, there is grass to go, no grass is moved, its customs and the west fan, Yongbei is different.

Later, after the Western Zhou Dynasty, when the heroes were chasing the deer, this tribe did not know why, the army sprung up, hundreds of thousands, more than one million, and annexed the surrounding tribes, it is said that the people on the grassland at that time all heard the white wolf and changed color.

Later, for some reason, the White Wolf Kingdom was divided into two branches, the pro-Han one gradually followed the Yalong River to the Danba under the plateau, the Hanyuan area nomadic go, and the stick one, later because of the rise of the Zhangzhung Dynasty in northern Tibet, gradually expanded to the current Kang-Tibet region, the White Wolf Kingdom and the Zhangzhung Dynasty fought several times, but after all, they were outnumbered, and then the remnants retreated into the snow-capped mountains of the Dangling Mountains and there was no trace.

The Dangling Snow Mountains are surrounded by peaks, the Snow Mountains are connected, and the people are inaccessible, and this ancient country that once dominated Kangbei is gradually no longer remembered. ”

After listening to Khenpo Kunqu Tenzin's narration, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed that there was no clue that could be connected to the Wanqu people.

I said, "Then this ancient country disappeared mysteriously?" ”

"It is said that there is an ancient city in the deepest part of the Dangling Snow Mountain, which used to be the location of the ancient royal court of the White Wolf, but to get there, you have to climb over several very high snow-capped mountains, the air is thin, and there are frequent avalanches, the climate is impermanent, and the yaks can't get by, let alone people, I don't know how the White Werewolves built that ancient city there at that time." ”

I nodded thoughtfully and said, "Thank you Rinpoche!" ”

Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin smiled and said, "How can you worry about it. ”

Next, everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and on Tuesday, Mao couldn't sit still, and had already gone out to watch the lamas debate. On Tuesday, Mao is a little good, gregarious, and he can mingle with people in less than ten words wherever he goes.

Most of these lamas also understood the Sichuan dialect, and after a while, everyone chatted together.

When we came out, on Tuesday, Mao was still dancing under a big tree to tell a dozen lamas about the Sichuan opera "Three Heroes vs. Lü Bu", and Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin smiled and said: "This little doll is self-cooked, or it won't be too late for you to have dinner here and leave." ”

Ding Sanye smiled and said, "Then let Rinpoche bother." ”

At this time, it was not far from dinner time, and Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin accompanied us around the temple.

This Tibetan temple is very different from the Chinese Buddhist temple, which is built along the hillside. It is rough and heavy, brightly colored, and does not pay attention to axis symmetry.

We walked along the hill and slowly walked to the front of the Buddha Hall, when the sound of lamas chanting in a low voice was heard in the Buddha Hall.

I complimented: "This sandalwood is ethereal, and the Sanskrit sound is like a Buddha country outside the world." ”

Khenpo Kunqu Tenzin was also very comfortable hearing this, and said, "The whole people in my Tibetan region believe in Buddhism, which is not quite the same as in the mainland. Is the little doll also a believer in Buddhism? ”

I said, "Don't hide it from Rinpoche, I'm a Tujia and I follow our local religion. ”

Ding Sanye said: "This little brother is still their local wizard. ”

Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin said with interest: "This is a bit interesting, the old monk has lived in the snowy region for a long time, and these are a bit unheard of. ”

Ding Sanye preemptively said: "The wizards over there know the stars very well. ”

I humbly said, "These are all small insect carving skills. The master smiled. ”

Khenpo Kunqu Tenzin said: "This astrology is very well understood by the Chu people, but I don't have a long Tibetan land, and Tantra has some astrological divination techniques, but it is not as complete as the Han land. ”

I said: "The so-called sky has the sun and moon, the earth has yin and yang, the sky has five stars, the earth has five elements, the sky has the column, and the earth has the state. So we've evolved our own set of rules. ”

Khenpo Gonqu Tenzin nodded, "This does make some sense. He said, "I wonder if Mr. Chen is willing to help the old monk interpret some questions?" ”

I wondered, "The master is very knowledgeable, what else can I help you decipher?" ”

Khenpo Gonzhu Tenzin said, "Come with me, both of you." ”

We passed through a side gate with Khenpo Kunqu Tenzin, only to see a burly lama standing in front of us with a grim face and a stick more than a foot long, with a stern expression that made people daunting.

When the lama saw Khenpo Kunqu Tenzin, he hurriedly bowed.

Ding Sanye also seemed to know this lama, and said: "It is said that when I entered the Rising Sun Temple, I didn't see our iron-roded lama Lobsang Danzhu, so I came to take care of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in person today." ”

The iron-roded lama Lobsang Danzhu said to Ding Sanye: "Ding Sanye, Tashi Delek." ”

I glanced at this tall iron-roded lama, I had long heard that Ding Sanye had said that the iron-roded lama had a fierce temperament, a strong body, and was the one who supervised the precepts of the temple, and he also had great power.

Khenpo Kunqu Tenzin introduced me to Lama Lobsang Tenzup, who simply said "Tashi Delek" and stopped talking.
